Web Template Nav Filter Question

Hi,
I have a Nav Item in my web template and the DataProvider query has Fiscal Year with a variable in the free characteristics. The variable is "single value" and is populated with the current year 2006 via the variable user-exit.
When I call the web template the FY variable value 2006 shows up in the nav web item as a filter. This confuses me because if I add another value say 2005 to the filter via the nav block it doesn't seem to make the additional 2005 value available in the variable user exit.
Why does the variable value 2006 show up as a filter when it's set up as a variable?
Thanks!

Hi Kenneth,
There are three approaches you may follow:
1) Either make the variable as ready for input & changable during query navigation: this can be done by right clicking on the variable and selecting edit, there will be two checkboxes at the bottom, select both. This will enable you to use the navigation block to put in values in your variable.
2) Hide the free characteristics section in the navigation block web item properties. This has the drawback that it will hide all the free characteristics - so dont use this if you have more than one free characteritics
3) create a list of characteristics to be displayed in the navigation block. All characteristics not mentioned here will not be displayed in the nav block.

Web Template Nav Block char issue.

Hi folks,
We have an issue with one of our web templates. In one of the navigation blocks there are some characteristics, for example, some are like as below.
G/L Account
Asset
Cost Center
Order
Network
WBS Element
Cost Center (Accoung string -correct object)
Sales document
The second object from bottom supposed to show as 'Account String' since the char is accounting string itself, insted, it is showing as Cost Center which is not correct.
The web template has 'personalization' checked.
This issue is happening with one user id. For other users (using their logon credentials), it is showing correctly.
I really appreciate any inputs.
Thanks.

Suman,
The parameter ID column is blank for this user.
However, the same query displays same for other users.
By the way, we are on BW 3.5 now.
Thanks for your input.

BEX Web Template - Dropdown box Question

I have a web report that has a dropdown box that is used to filter company code.
The variable entry screen also allows the user to filter via company code.
The problem that I have encountered is that if you filter at the variable entry screen (eg choose company code 1000), then when you go into the web report, the dropdown box shows "All", so users are getting confused when they print this out, as it appears as if they are looking at all companies.
Does anyone know how I can set up the dropdown box so that it only shows the "All" item if there is more than one company code listed?
ie if they filter for a single company code at the variable entry screen, then don't show the "All" item
if they don't filter company code at the variable entry screen, then display the "All" item in the dropdown box.
Thanks in advance for any asisstance
Regards
Richard

thanks for your response.
Yes - I have tried changing the properties in the WAD - if you tick the "do not display all values" entry, then the "All" option is never displayed, and so it is never possible for the users to remove the filter.
I want the "All" option displayed only if there is more than one entry in the list box.

Richard

BEx WAD - How to pass filter values to another Web template

Hi,
I have a scenario here...
Web Template 1:
- Filter options, Filter on Characteristics
- Button, this button calls Template 2 sending the parameters selected vía URL to filter the report.
Web Template 2:
- Tables and graphs
Values selected in the Filter of Template 1 and using javascript it should generates a URL, which filters the second template i.e. Web Template 2.
Can anyone please share javascript to achieve this...
-Anil

Hi Anil,
I tried this and could not get it to work. so if you find away through Java script then I would be very interested.
There is an option called TRANSFER_STATE which supposedly lets you pass variable names in this scenario but I could not get it to work.
In the end I created one template with all graphs etc. When you click the button to show the other template all tables and graphs in template 2 are shown and everything from web template 1 is hidden. This worked fine.
Cheers,
Nick.

Web Templates in Portal

Chaps,
    We've got couple of Templates built for BW Reporting.
    Now, in the SAP Portal I noticed that the BW reports are shown in different customized web templates.
    My question is,
    (1) Can we have multiple Web Templates published in SAP Portal for different BEx reports ?
    (2) If there is a default setting for the Web Template that we do in RSCUSTV27 T-Code, how can we still have multiple Web Templates for BW Reports in Portal ?

Hi,
You can use different web templates for your BEx Reports depending on your requirement. You can include your reports in webtemplates and then integrate these web templates in portal by creating Iviews.
The setting you make in Transaction RSCUSTV27 is for setting the Standard web template. This will be used
when you execute a query in BEx Web Analyzer ( from Query designer).
when you integrate a query in portal by providing the query name (instead of providing the web template name)
By default the standard web template used is 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN. You can override this using transaction RSCUSTV27 or SAP Reference IMG under SAP Netweaver -> Business Intelligence -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> BEx Web -> Set Standard Web Templates.

Filter Web Template with URL Cmd: doesn't work with compound infoobject ?

Hello all,
I've to filter the query contained on a web template with URL command, but it doesn't work.
The web template contains only one query, and on the free chars I have 0PLANT.
I call the web template adding to the normal url the following command:
&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PLANT&FILTER_VALUE=33
where 33 is the code of the plant I want to filter.
The command is executed, I think, because the result is "NO APPLICABLE DATA FOUND". The fact is that when I execute this query on the Bex filtering 0PLANT by value 33 the data exists.
May be because 0PLANT on our system is in compound with 0SOURSYSTEM ? In this case, what's the value I can use as filter ?
Thank's in advance,
Max

Hi,
please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/edfe395dd76846e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
especially:
If the variant with ending 'EXT' is selected, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the external format, for example, 24.12.2000.
If the ending 'EXT' is not used, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the internal format, for example, 20001224 for 24.12.2000.
and
In the internal display (see table below) you can easily determine the name of the characteristic and the filter value using the URL parameter &snippet_operations=%20 (see also Object Tag for the Properties of Web Templates). Call the Web application with this URL parameter. If you filter using the context menu, the parameters FILTER_IOBJNM and FILTER_VALUE are automatically added to the URL in the Web browser. You can then use the desired values with Command URLs in hyperlinks.

Show Multiple Filter Values in a Web Template

Hello
I have a Web Template based on a query. On this Web Template I can set multiple single filter values for one characteristic.
Now I want to show these filtered values for this characteristic on the web item. This is possible for ONE filter value when you use the XML path (f.e. DATA_PROVIDER:DP1?/BICS_VIEW/SELECTION_STATE/SELECTION/CHARACTERISTICS/CHARACTERISTIC[@name='CHARNAME']/SELECTIONS/SELECTION[1]/MEMBER/@text)
Is there a possibility to show MULTIPLE filter values for one characteristics in a text or input field? I don't want to use a drop down box or the info field.
Kind Regards,
Andreas

HI,
the best ay to do is create a query with same variable parameters as of the main query and place filter Characters on rows.
Use this query in one analysis item and use it on top row of the template as Filters information.This will give better look and feel as well solve your requirement

Variable filter selection in Web Template

Hello we have 0VENDOR as BEx setting for Query Def. Filter Value Selection as 'D only values in InfoProvider', i've a mandator variable on 0Vendor for a query and when i run in Bex it works fine like the selection of variable brings up only the values in the InfoProvider.
I've the same query attached to a Webtemplate, and when i run the Web Template and in Value selection of the Variable brings up all the values from Master Data instead of the Infoprovider.
Any idea how to make it work in Web. btw we're in BI 7.
thanks
Mayil

Mayil
I don't think you can on the variables screen, however if it was feasible you could use a drop down box and have it look at posted values only. However this will only be available after the initial view of the query comes up.

Question regarding the default web template for queries

Hello,
I am trying to learn the default web template that is using for queries:
0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70
I see that it's <bi:QUERY value="" /> is empty which is logic since the query will be inserted on runtime. My question is, where in the web template does it say that? I can't see any parameter it expects to get with the query's technical name not at the webtemplate code nor at the URL...
Roy

Roy,
I think you are mixing things. The template you are mentioning is used for queries that are executed from the query designer. It's not a web template as any other one you create for your users. So, this web template has some parts in it's code that works with the query execution. When you run a query, the system takes the query definition (made in QD) and executes it with the web template indicated for the query. This determination is made by the program that is used to run queries. You can try using RSRT transaction to debug and check how this it's done. If you want to change the default web template used by query designer to run the queries, you should do it copying any standard template, like the one you mentioned. If you don't do it, you won't get the information correct.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Diego

Passing Dynamic Filter values to Web template in VC

Hi Experts,

Regarding upgrade of web report\web templates functionalites BW 3.5-BI 7.0

hi all,
         I m working on a Upgrade study from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 for Web Templates,web items and java scripts.
Below is the scenario of the client system:
New web templates are created from the 6 master web templates available for publishing to a custom Portal (created using BSP and hosted on the WAS). TOOLBAR and FOOTER are custom web templates used in all Master Templates and contain various JavaScript functions and footer code respectively.
TOOLBAR provides the Toolbar, header and buttons functionalities in the Master Templates via the contained Javascript functions. FOOTER displays the date and time of issue as well the logged in user.
FOOTER1 and FOOTER2 are web items derived from FOOTER web template. They have different set of web item properties and are used to create web templates used through the custom Portal.
It is observed from BW Tables that out of 100 unique Web Templates available in the system, 90 are using TOOLBAR template and 95 are using FOOTER template.
No external Javascript .js files are used in the Web templates. Most of the Javascript functionality is contained in TOOLBAR and no other custom javascript in master templates. However, there are some derived web templates where custom javascript is contained.
Following is the process to create custom Web Templates in development server that are eventually transported to QA and Production:
1)     The appropriate master template is identified and saved with new name in developer role.
2)     Dataprovider is added to corresponding web items.
3)     From the library, properties are transferred from master template to the custom template.
4)     Report title is added in HTML tab.
5)     No changes are needed in the Web Templates Properties except change of value in Show Jump Target in field to the portal Frame ConPortal or _self in case RRI is to be used.
6)     Some properties like Title, Width in Pixel, Affected Data Provider, etc. needs to be adjusted. Changes can be done to web items seen in Overview tab except the FOOTER and TOOLBAR web items. These web items are saved as reusable components in Library.
7)     After all the changes the web template created is transported from development server.
To summarize, all master data for creation of web templates like reusable master templates, web items in library, web templates containing Javascript code are stored in dev. server. Custom web templates created from these are transported.
I want to validate the sequence of migration as below:
Following sequence has to be followed for the Web Templates and Queries Migration in development BI 7.0 Server:
1)     Migrate the Individual BEx Queries first and perform functional testing.
2)     Migrate the TOOLBAR template manually (create as new in BI 7.0 Toolset) and FOOTER template automatically (using Migration Tool).
3)     Manually migrate the JavaScript code in TOOLBAR. Please refer to section ..for more details.
4)     Migrate the library of reusable web items, if any.
      (What to do if web item is custom or is not supported in BI 7.0)
5)     Migrate the Master Web Templates manually (create as new in BI 7.0 Toolset) and automatically (wherever possible) and perform functional testing.
6)     Migrate the custom web templates automatically (wherever possible) and manually, if automatic migration is not possible. Perform functional testing and data provider binding.
7)     Perform jump target binding wherever applicable.
8)     Transport custom templates, TOOLBAR and FOOTER to QA and Production subsequently.
Also i have the following questions:
1. How to migrate functionalities accessed thru web templates like jump queries, general navigation blocks with filter, table interface, and are data providers automatically linked to web items or have to be done manually post migration.
2. Do we need to migrate the library of reusable web items also.
3. After migrating the master web templates and javascript containing templates to BI 7.0, can we migrate automatically the custom webtemplates derived from master templates and containing the custom javascript that is now avaialbe in BI 7.0, will they pick up the custom code automatically.
thanks in advance

How to set default Web Template for BEx Query iViews in Portal?

Hi,
1) In SPRO you can set the Standard Web Template used, e.g. ZANALYSIS_PATTERN1.
2) I published a query to Portal and when it runs within Portal, I want it to use a different web template, say ZANALYSIS_PATTERN2.
I don't want to change the BEx Web Application Query String property for each iView to hardcode the template e.g. to "QUERY=TestQuery1&TEMPLATE=ZANALYSIS_PATTERN2"
I only want the query name in the iView
Can I set this somewhere in Portal? I tried changing the standard "BEx Web Analyzer" iView as mentioned in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/33/39fa40ee14f26fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm (BEx Web Application or Query as iView in the Portal)
but it still seems to take the template from SPRO even after restarting J2EE

Hi,
I don't think anyone is holding back knowledge, I think it's sometimes difficult to filter out "good" questions as opposed to "bad" questions...
In any case, I don't think it's possible to have different default templates, eg one for the portal and one for the "rest". I'm afraid you'll have to either change each one on the portal or use one for all.
Cheers,
Dion

Display message on a web template for specific queries

Hi all,
We're trying to find a way of displaying a message in our standard web template (0ADHOC) in order to warn users about issues concerning specific queries (availability of data, maintenance...). So, we would like to establish one message for some querys and be able to display it in our web template only if availabe.
We faced this requirement with 2 different options, but none is working perfectly:
1.- Add a Single Document web item to 0ADHOC_HEADER web template in order to display a document related to our InfoProvider. Issues that appear:
    - Warning messages need to be suppressed because when query doesn't have a related document, an horrible warning message is displayed.
    - InfoProvider related documents need to be established for each calendar month, so we're not able of establishing a document that can be correct for all months on the InfoProvider. So, document only appears if user sets a specific calendar month filter. If he doesn't set any filters, document is not displayed.
2.- Use callquerydoc() in 0ADHOC in order to call query documentation on a new window when web template is loaded. Issues that appear:
    - If the query doesn't have a related document, we won't like the new window to appear (because it shows an error about not finding documentation).
    - No matter where I put the call to that JavaScript function, but each time you press a button or change something when executing the query, new window appears again.
Could someone give me solutions for issues of at least one of these two options?
If you have other suggestions to achieve our goal, please let me know.
Thanks and best regards,
David.

Hi there, any replies? Should I summarize my question?
How do you notify users when data is not reliable? (caused by, for instance, data loading errors, query maintenance... so on).
I once used system messages (sm02) to notify all those data failures, but now we want the notification not to be global, but to be specific for some user groups (or query groups), and visible when they execute any query.
Thanks again,
David.
