Web Report - Variable window question

Hi Experts,
I am using the same web-template for a lot of reports. But when I switch between the query views for some of the reports, the variable window is popping up...and for some it isin't.Why is this happening? Should I be changing some prperties in the underlying Bex queries.I am on BI 7.0.
Thanks
Arvind

hello,
we need to go to Query properties -> interaction tab-> remove reuse variables to populate the variable screen everytime or "Save and reuse variable values" to supress variable window
or
Problem could be due to any personalisation.try this:
One the query is executed, click on the button which says change variable values.
In the variable pop-up screen which comes up click on the personalization button
In the new screen which comes up click on reset personalization button
Enter new variable values and execute the query.

Web report - Variable values while switching between views.

Hi Gurus,
We have a query which has a few variables that are getting populated with default values during query execution[customer exits].
We have added this query to the web.Now there is a date variable which gets populated with the current date value by default.Suppose the users don't vant to run the report for the current date, they are able to change the date in the variable window and execute. But once the report is run, and we try to choose a different vieew for the report, the report automatically gets refreshed with the selected view, but for the default current date value (because of the customer exit).Shouldn't the selected view be getting refreshed with the date values that the user had entered while executing the report?
Also when navigating between the different views, shouldn't a variable window pop up? Is there any setting to have the variable window pop up when navigating between the different views of a web report?
Would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks a Lot
Arvind

How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,
John

BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

Hi Gurus,
Here is my issue.
I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
Two Columns
One Key Figure: Subtotal1
One Restricted Key Figure: Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
Two Rows Plant, Sales Organization
One Variable with Sales Organization.
When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
Thanks

Passing hierachy node variable from BW to BO Webi Report in open doc link

Hello All,
We are working on BW-BO integration and creating Webi reports based on Bex queries.
The question is regarding passing of a hierachy node value from BW to BO through open doc link.
I see that when we pass hierarchy node value, we have to associate that with the corresponding infoobject technical name in the link but not sure in what format it has to be sent.
For example, if ARM is the node value and 0HIERNODE is the infoobject , how should we send this value to BO.
Please help.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Tangudu S

You cannot change anything here. You should really find out how the values are retrieved from the database
THere is another option:
1) Activate the tracing on your BOBJ server
Check the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes) for that:
Unix: Note 1235111
Windows: Note 1260004
2) Run your WebI report from the InfoView by choosing first the desired hierachy node value from the LOV of your prompt.
3) Extract the MDX statement from the log file. It should contain the value for the hierarchy node. Copy this to the URL
It is easier to find this out if you have access to a Crystal Reports Designer installation. Do you?

Web report Goto Opens in a new window

I have 2 web reports that are linked using the Goto command on the web context menu.
This functionality works fine, except I find that the target report opens in a new browser window.
Does anyone know how to force the target report to open in the same window as the calling report?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards
rich

Thanks Bhanu, that was exactly what I was looking for - had just overlooked the setting - apologies for the simple question!
For anyone who digs this up through a search, you actually need to put "_self" to have it open in the same window. If you use "_SELF" as is suggested in the Web Application Designer, it doesn't work...
Thanks again Bhanu

Hyperlink Webi Report with BEX variable

I have a bex query with a selection variable.
It becomes a yellow filter in my BO Universe which I can use as a query prompt.
Question is, can I pass the value of that Bex Variable/ BO yellow filter from my parent report to my child report using OpenDoc.
When I try, the child report bombs and I receive an error message.
FYI, I am able to pass the values of BO Query Prompts from my parent report to my child report. The issue is with BEX variables?
Is there a solution? Can this be done??
Thanks
Using BO XIR3.1
Edited by: Tom Sidor on Aug 31, 2009 7:49 PM

Stratos,
Thanks for your reply.
My BO Webi report is based off a BEX Query, which generates the Universe used for my BO Report.
The Bex Query has a Variable Prompt that becomes a Filter/Prompt in my BO Universe & Report.
Here is the OpenDoc URL for this
"<a href=\"/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=MFD1-OrderHeader&sType=wid&sPath=%5BMarketingAnalysis%5D&lsSReporting Start Date:="[DT CMB]"&lsSReporting End Date:="[DT CME]"&lsSSKU:="([L01 Material Key])[CHP][CCP][UTP][MSP*][PRDP][CTP][PTP][DIVP][REGP][STSP][STZP][ATP][OPP][ORP][STCCP][ONP]"\" title=\"Order Header Drill Down\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"web\">"[Orders Placed CM]"</a>"
The embedded variable, in the URL above, for the Bex Query Filter is below
Variable - [PRDP]
=If(IsPromptAnswered("Product:");"&lsMProduct:="URLEncode(UserResponse("Product:"))"")
This is the Where Clause from the Condition properites of Bex Query Varible in the Universe (yellow filter)
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[!V000002]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Product:','A','Material2 with updash\LovHierNodeL03 MaterialBase',multi,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
All my other WEBI Query prompts pass just fine. The problem again, is trying to pass a SAP BW Variable that is contain in the Bex Query.
I receive an error (WIS 10901)on my child report when I try to execute the drill down from the Parent report when I populate the Bex Variable Prompt on My BO Webi Parent Report. (again this only happens with the BEX variable, all other prompts work fine and pass the values with no issues).
Thanks for any help you may provide.

Question on sizing Webi reports

Is there a way to make a wwebi report fit the user's viewing window. There are so many different screen resolutions being used, that it's hard to get the report size correct for everyone.
My reports tables fit nicely on A3 paper size, and Adobe Reader nicely resizes to standard letter size paper for printing, this works great.
Can Webi reports be setup to be viewed so that the report fits inside the users viewing window, rregardless of size and screen resolution ?
Edited by: Warren Shellshear on Feb 9, 2009 5:46 PM

No. Your question is not obtuse at all.
I don't believe it's possible to avoid the scroll bars; at least I can't think of a way to do this without extensive customization.

Hiding variables in WebI report

Hi,
We have generated an Universe based on a BW query which has 5 user entry variables with user exit logic coded for each one.
Based on this Universe we wish to create 2 WebI reports.
However, for the both the reports all the 5 variables are displayed.
Is there a way to hide the variables, so that on the first report we see two variables and on the second WebI report we are able to see the remaining three variables.
For all 5 variables, we have some logic on the BW user exits and hence we want to leaverage the BW variables and not opt for the WebI variables.
Rgds

Hi Free Will,
How did you manage to hide the variable, we have a similar issue, I have created a BW variable that is populated by Customer Exit. The problem is, for the query to be filtered in the Webi Report it the variable has to be defined as "input ready", and this allows the users to change the data in the variable which I don't want them to do. If I don't make it input ready the WebI Report is not filtered.
If we could hide the variable it would solve our problem
Thanks in advance

Web Report not printing the fiscal year period variable value

Hi,
In web report where in one text element, we enabled the fiscal year period variable value to display
in the report result.
If we run the report then this fiscal year period is displaying in the general information.
We have print button (Java Code), where user can take a printout of the same report.
In the printout this Fiscal year period is NOT PRINTING, other variables like rollup time, technical name of report etc are printing perfectly.
It is required to print the fiscal period also in the print out of the report.
Any help to come out of this.....
Thanks

Input Variable in BO Webi Report

Hi,
We have BW-Query and have defined BO Webi-Report using Universe on this query.
When we execute BW-Query direct in BW, we can see all plants from
master data table in the input Variable (Input help/F4).
When we execute BO-Report in BO, it shows only plants in the input variable, for which there are transaction data
in InfoCube. I expect here to see all plants from the master data table (like BW Query).
Is it normal? Or is there some other issue?
Thanks

Hi,
as the webi report will contain only transactional data anyway (webi MDX statement will ask for non empty records), this is the normal behavior what you are experiencing.
What settings do you have on the infoObject, on which you have the variable set?:
-Query Def Filter Value Selection
-Query Execution Filter Val. Selection
There you should be able to choose between "Only Values in InfoProvider" and "master data".
Best regards

Launching a Bex web report in KM in a new window

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to configure KM so that it would launch a Bex web report in a new window
instead of being displayed in the innerpage area. The Bex web report is stored in a KM folder.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Regards,
Mel Calucin
Bentley Portal Architect

Hi Mel,
If you have already assigned the Bex report to a role, then you can open the bex iview and edit the property "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
If the report is still not created and is existing in the KM you can create a KM navigation iview or KM document iview and specify the document path where the iview is exisiting OR you can open the bex report, capture the URL of it and create a URL iview for the same... you might want to refer to this thread for more details.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/thread?threadID=1260067&tstart=0
And when the iview is ready and the content is getting displayed accordingly, if you want to open the iview in a new window instead of the portal content area, you would have to follow the instructions given above ie to edit the property of iview "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
Good Luck!
