Web Application Designer : Variables for Ad-Hoc Report

Hi,
I have to modify the default template who is used to display the variable entries ...
Someone know the technical name of the web template that's call when I push the button "Variable Screen" ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

There is no extra template executed when processing the variable screen.
It is just a command within the current template:
CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X

  • Web Application Designer Variable Screen = X

    Hello all,
    I have a question concerning an option in WAD where you flag the variable screen. <bi:VARIABLE_SCREEN value="X">. 
    We are using the 0Analysis template and upon selecting the "New Analysis" button which opens up a selection screen to choose a particular BEx Report and execute. Prior to setting the option within the button to flag the variable screen = X, when selecting the "New Analysis" button the second time for a new report, we would not get a variable selection screen to choose our values even though the report clearly has selection variables. So as a work around we flagged this option to force a variable screen.
    The issue is now that if a particular report we choose does not have a any selection variables, we get a message that says No variables available and it closes without executing the report.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or options we could do?
    The 'New Analysis" button is made up of the following:
    1. Load
    2. SET_VARIABLES_STATE
    Thank you in advance.

    Any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks

  • Navigational charts in Web Application Designer

    Hello all,
    I have a question regarding actionable charts in Web Application Designer. For example a user selects a bar in a chart and based on that selection filters to additional reports or changes existing charts/tables in the Web Application Designer? I know you can right click and setup RRI then goto functionality but I would like the capability to click on the bar chart and then proceed with the action.
    I know this can be done with Geo enabled Map Web Items where you click on a state/country and drill in for additional information but I'd like to know if it can be done with in charts. I know there is an option in WAD to setup Eventing, maybe there you set the onclick event to do the function?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I keep reading its possible but found no examples.
    Thanks,

  • Web Reporting Authorizations for Web Application Designer

    Hi,
    any information on authorizations in context with the Web Application Designer would be appreciated. I know the data access is regulated the normal class RS and RSR authorization objects. Any way to secure and regulate access to the Web items in the WAD?
    thanks,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Security settings are the standard ones (RS/RSR) as you mention plus limiting access to Web templates using roles.
    I do not know any mean to limit access at the web item level; you can define security restrictions on the underlying queries though.

  • Variable in Web application designer

    I created a template in WAD (Web Application Designer) and inserted table which is connected to Query. Given Query consists variable also. However WAD generating report without any variables.
    Also, if anybody has stepwise document for WAD.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    1. Check if your variable is input-ready (if it's not - it shouldn't appear on variable screen). If yes - pls.follow
    2. Try to set parameter Reset variable values - On (WAD-> your Template --> Web template parameters --> Behavior)
    3. General info on WAD can be found here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/1a/456a3badc1b315e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

  • URL link in rows/colomns of a report web application designer.

    Hi,
    I would like to create a URL link in a report which jumps to documents on livelink.
    For example:
    1.  bw    30.000    www. google.nl
    2.  sap   40.000    www. sap.com
    3. basis  50.000   www. nu.nl
    etc.
    etc.
    Do all the rows have different URLS, is that possible in the web application designer? Or do I have to use RRI? Or a user exit?
    Thanks for your help en replies.
    Rishma.
    Edited by: R. Debi on Oct 7, 2010 11:20 AM

    I used the RRI already but would like to have a hyperlink in the report. (So, the prefix of the URL is always the same an I have put this in RRI and used the & and contract ID as dynamic part of the URL.)
    In a BW web report, our customer would like to display a characteristic value as a hyperlink, so that when clicking on the link, the user is taken to an external website holding a document.  SO I am just looking for a javascript perhaps? Or maybe even abap in transformation? To actually create the hyperlink in this report.
    Thanks a lot,

  • Security for creating web templates using web application designer

    I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
    The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
    The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.

    Hi Jeff,
    there are no special authorization objects for Web Templates. RS_COMP will still only work for queries, structures.... Saving to roles requires certain authorizations for the role (s_agr_*), here you can define the roles you can save templates to.

  • Report to Report - Web Application Designer

    I have created a simple template using BEx Web Application Designer. The Query I've picked is set up with receiver reports. e.g. I want to do a report to report interface from the data in my template to another query and another template. However when I choose Goto on the data and select the query I want it opens the data but opens it using a template I havent created. A standard template? How do I get the query I go to to open with one of my templates? Do I have to do some linking somewhere?

    Hello Joel,
    Have you put your new template in 'Set standard web templates'?
    Txn rscustv27?  this may not work but it is worth a try. u would need to put it in the bottom option.
    Another way to do this would be to create an iview for each query and in the the query properties you can assign what template you will use under 'bex web application query string'.  The iView properties can be found in the Portal Content Directory.  i think this will definatley work.
    Also one other thing to look at in WAS is the RRI options (in the properties of the web template).  This may have something in there.
    Enjoy your friday.....

  • Difference Between Web application design and Report Designer

    Hi,
    I have searched in the forum as well i Google it but still i am not clear the difference between Web application Designer and report Designer , why especially we go for WAD ? and  what is not possible in Report designer which we can do in WAD  Please some one explain me that would be great helpful to me. i am having lot of confusion in this issue.
    thanks,
    Gal

    Hi,
    The Report designer is completely for formating of your query and results. Here you have the flexibility to design your query(one/more) results in your own way.
    The WAD is for displaying various web items at one short for a single/multiple query. And here you have the flexibility to do the XML coding on the web items, but not as much you have the flexibility on Report Designer.
    But, Report designer will have more performance issues than WAD. So, generally it helps when you need extreme formating of your reports.
    Hope this clears your doubt.

  • How to create own Web Items for Web Application Designer

    Hi all,
    is it possible to create own Web Items for the Bex Web Application Designer? Each Web Item has a Master Web Item and a class that is responsible for rendering data. I need a solution to get the Web Item's data - i.e. the content of a table (if Web Item = table). So my approach would be to create an own (Standard) Web Item with an own class. For example I would like to change the table's Web Item parameter <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/> to an own class...
    Is this possible?
    Or ist there any possibility to get the Web Item's data by an interface?
    Any support is welcome...thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Dominik

  • Print PDF file with the lay out created in the BEx web application designer

    Got the following questions (problems) when print a web report created in BEx Web Application Designer to a PDF file:
    1. The tile (which has a company logo and report name in it) was not printed, is it possible to print a title (with company logo) on each page of the PDF file?
    2. Want print the filters that have value specified on the PDF file, is it possible to do this?
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hi Simon,
    you can achieve this requirement i.e. using this way of implementation:
    1. Create a new template which contains the required fields (company logo etc) and set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template and add the filter values (variable names) you want to display on the PDF. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
    2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item.
    3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
    If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly.

    Marcel

  • Query on WAD (Web Application Designer)

    We have got request from the user on one WAD u2013 Web Application Designer Report for the extra functionality.
    This WAD report contains 7 tabs, for each tab there is a separate query view has bee designed with default variable values.
    While running the WAD report user will input values in the variable window for the variables (Eg: Fiscal Year, Org.Structureu2026etc), after executing the report, if the user switch to another tab in the same report, the variable values entered before execution of the report will not pass to the another tab by default because the query views have been designed in such a way that each query view will have its own default values.
    Now the user is expecting the variable values entered for the first tab should be passed to other tabs as well, is it possible to pass values from one tab to another tab?
    If its possible, could you guide us where (HTML code or web template parameters or any another things) exactly the required changes/modifications need to be made in WAD report?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Prevent values being passed using Link Item on Web Application Designer

    Hello all,
    I have a question regarding 7.0 Web Application Designer. I am using the web item Link Item and using the command OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG to open a new WAD Template BUT I do not want to pass the values from the original WAD template to the new one. Is there a way to restrict passing any values to the new template? Am I using the correct command OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG?
    To better describe what is happening, my characteristics and key figures are being passed from my original WAD template to my new WAD template when using the OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG. I do not the values to be passed, only to open up the new WAD Template with its own reports.
    Thank you.

    Sorry maybe I mistated the problem. I do not have an issue with the variable screen when transitioning to the second WAD template screen, I have a problem due to the values from the first WAD template being passed to the second WAD template.
    My first WAD template using the Link Item is only for the ability to click on the text to open up a second WAD template which I do not want the values to be passed from the First template.
    I hope this clears up the confusion.
    Thanks
