WAD Variable screen not displaying when using a customer exit variable

Hello,
I have a query which has 3 variables, one of which is of type customer exit and gets populated with a default value.
When I run this query on the web from within BEX it works fine, however when I run it within any BI7 web template the variable screen does not pop up. Of course if I remove or change the offending customer exit variable the variable screen pops up.
I have switched the display variable check-box to on, and it still doesn't work.
Is this a 'feature' of BI7?
Many thanks
Sarah

Fixed it myself by tweaking the URL....
Added &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X to the end of the url and the variable screen now pops up. Its not an ideal solution but it works.
Anyone have any better ideas?

- search for the infocube
- doubleclick on the infocube
- choose an specific infoobjekt
- right mousebutton and click "specific dataprovider settings"
- check if the right entries are set
Hope this will help.

How can i Refresh my Variable Screen In WAD templet?

Hi Experts,
When i execute a WEB Templet giving Variable Selection Inputs , the Variable input values gets stored in the Variable Tab and will not change untill i Change it.
Example
Variable input 0PLANT 5030(this 5030 is the input where i give in the variable selection screen)
when i click back on the intrenet Explorer , this 5030 will be there stored in the 0PLANT tab.
can any one give me solution how can i refresh the variable screen in the WAD
Santosh Nagaraj

Tis might be a browser feature - the variable values tend to get stored - you could look at implementing DSM ( through portal ) or try making your template stateless and see if the value changes...

Variable screen in WAD

i have couple of questions on variable screen while working with Web Application Designer
1) i am using variables with multiple single entries in my query and when the variable screen in WAD is displayed i have something called insert row icon for each of the variable i used. i do not want to display this icon. is it possible. when i have a single mandatory variable i don't see this icon
2) when i select a value for one of my variable, say for plant. then i only want the key to be displayed. whereas when i choose a particular plant i can see the key in the variable box and the text which describes the plant adjacent to the variable box. is it possible to display only key.
3) i have something like this
Plant Description
NJ New Jersey (description is seen adjacent to the key in the variable box)
now when i want to empty the screen and run the query for all plants i can delete the key but my description is still seen.
any idea
thanks

thanks for your responses. i have another problem which is similar to the above ones
i have variables with multiple single values as optional. now in the variable screen if i choose to enter more than one value, lets say 2 values for the plant then i have two values and its text adjacent to the selection box.
since i am using optional variable and if the user wants to run the report for all the plants then he comes back to the variable screen and has to empty the selection box. the problem is we can empty the selection box but we are not able to remove the text description adjacent to the selection box which the user says its confusing.
is there any way we can get rid of it. may be when we refresh the variable screen can we write a code which simply displays the empty variable screen.
any ideas gurus
thanks

Hi All,
We have a requirement to supress variable screen with WAD 7.0, but the report on which we have built the WAD contains a variable which is used to calculate quaterly utilization in customer exit and ready for input.
So as there is a variable in CMOD and used in report level, eventhough we supress variable screen in WAD, not getting supressed.
Can you provide some pointers.

Edit HTML of initial Variable Screen in WAD

Hai
WAD
Is it possible to edit initial variable screen which I get after publishing it in the browser. Can I change the settings like color,font add logo in the top of the varibale screen?
Thx in Advance
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
I think it's possible by editing the style sheets(CSS) in the MIME repository.
SAP Business Information Warehouse -> Business Explorer -> Mime Repository
Export the style sheet you want to edit and after making the necessary modifications you can upload it under another file name by choosing the option Import MIME objects(By Rt clicking the Stylesheets folder).
Hope this helps.

WAD / Insert Variable Screen into WAD

Hi All,
How can i insert the variable screen into my WAD?
For example:
First, when i executed the WAD i need to show (all together in the same page) the variable screen and below the table.
Regards

Hi Nicola
I dont know of a way to display the variable screen in the wad however, an alternative is to use the Information Field web item and tick the variable visible check box in the web item parameters, untick the other 4 items if you only want the variables to display, this will display the current variable selections for the query, you can then have a link item or button that calls the OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG command, this will link back to the variable screen but also maintatin the current filters and layout of the query.
Hope this helps

Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

Hi ,
This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
Expected Output:
Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
Issue:
Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
Please suggest me a solution...
Thanks / Selvan

Hi, i dont rememberm but, can you check mark you DP_1 and properties->Behavior->Display variables screen->on

How to hide some variables on variables screen in web report (in WAD)

I need to hide some optional variables (not all of them) on variables screen in web template.
Hiding the whole selection screen is not an option, since users have to populate other variables and some variables are mandatory.
Web template is based on a query that can be run in BEx Analyzer by superusers - and there they need all variables. I want to use the same query both in BEx Analyzer for superusers and on the Portal for regular users. For portal version though I need to hide some of the variables on the selection screen. Is it possible at all?
I would like to avoid creating two separate queries - one for Analyzer and one for Portal.

if the variables are optional and mandatory both avaialble
then there is no chance that u can hide them
the only option is to create a save as QUERY and remove those variable.
it is not possible to just hide the variable screen...
if u hv used they will be displayed....
if u dont want it dont use it...
and if really using another query is not advisable as u said
the only thing i can say is that... try to interact with ur security person
ask him u need to create several authorization objects for several variables
if that is possible
let him create those
assign those specific authorization object to specific user id
use it for specific variables u need
tat way super users with specaial authorization can acess the same query and can see specific variables
regular users withouts authorization of variables can see rest of variables.

WAD bypasses variables screen

HI masters!
I've created a web template based on a query which has several input variables. This morning all was going well but suddenly the execution of that template started to ignore variables screen going directly to the result screen... If I execute just the query form Query Designer it works properly... Any idea???
Thanks!!

Hi Martin,
This happens if the variables on the queries are all optional entry ones. In the web template properties, check the property to force the variable screen and then save and execute it again.
Hope this helps...

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Variable screen/variant screen authorization issue

HI All,
We have implemented standard Cost Center Overview Report(0SR_C02_Q0002) in BI 7.
We have three selection fields:
1.Company Code which is mandatory
2.My controlling Area which is also mandatory
3.Costcenter which is not mandatory
The requirement we are facing over here is that in the Variable screen/variant screen when I enter a company code, then I need to display dynamically only those "My Controlling Area" values which are assigned to that particular company code and not all. In the same way after selecting the appropriate "My controlling area" value, I need to display only those cost centers in the cost center selection field which are assigned to the selected company code and My controlling area combination and not all.
can anyone guide me on how to go about on this authorization issue at the variable screen itself.
Please treat this issue/requirement on high priority.
Appreciated in advance.
Regards,
raps.

Hi,
I think that an alternative to solve your concern could be using Web Application Designer (WAD). In this respect, there are several design options, with different levels of complexity.
As the simplest alternative, you could create a WAD including your query and three Dropdown Boxes: one for Company, a second for Controlling area and another for Cost center. The four mentioned elements should be linked to the same dataprovider so, when you select a company, the options in the other two Dropdown boxes and the information in the query are updated.
In order to enforce mandatory filter selection at Company and Controlling area level, you should set NO_REMOVE_FILTER='X' in both two Dropdown boxes, so that "All values" option -which would mean no filtering- is not offered.
I hope this helps you.

How to show a variable screen when clicking on direct link of report in ,when that report is used as target in RRI alsoRRI

Hi All,
I have created RRI between two reports and the type is web template/WAD.
My requirement is to show the variable screen of target report when clicked on direct link and it should not show the var. screen if it goes from jump/go to.
while currently I can not see var. screen on both the places and when switching the var. scree. display on in web template , it shows the screen at both the places.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Anu

Hi Anu,
"And when I am using another var. in assignment details which is ready for input (in both the queries), its not helping."
Did you try using such a variable? What kind of a problem do you face? I am sorry I am still trying to understand your problem. I am just saying that which variable you use is not important for the first query. Only in the second query, add a variable with ready for input (I am not sure why the other doesn't work, I just tried and it gave an error, that's why I suggest this) and in RRI connection make the assignment with this variable. Please try this and let me know the result.
