Wild card usage in bex?

Hello All,
Is it possible to use a wild card (*) in the restriction of a characteristic in Bex?
Suppose I have the a characteristic DepartmentName, if I want to report the data of all the departments starting with letter 'F' (F*) .
So this should include departments like Fire, Fleet, Finance.....
Please let me know if this is possible? else let me know if there any other way to achieve this...
Points are assured...
Thanks in advance....

Wild Card Selection in BEX

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to use the wild cards in Query in the selection screen . I have created a variable of type " Selection Option ".
Now when I execute the report it is giving a box before the input box, and when I select * from that box and executing the query, I am not getting the required results.
From ex: when i give : G19 in input box with * in the box before the input box , it is displaying as "No Applicable Data Found. " , even though data is present for G197.
Can some one explain me how to use wild cards in query.
Thanks in advance,
Ananya

Note: That feature is not available in BI 7.0.
It works only with BW 3.x queries.

Wild card "*" usage in the authorization role

Hi All,
I am an ABAP consultant(not a security pro, so please put up with any incorrect wordings), and working on a requirement where i need to check if the user has access to particular values entered on a screen field. For example if the text entered on the field is ABCDEFGUS, i want to check on the last two characters to see if user has access to enter values ending with US.
So i create an authorization object...etc, and in the role i enter US as the value, but now when i run through the code using AUTHORITY-CHECK against the authority object. The authorization passes for all the values i enter, ex: ABCDEFGUK* - this should have failed as i have maintained *US.
Note: but when i maintain the value as ???????US in the role, it works as expected.
All the help and pointers, towards this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Chen

So you will maintain value like #US in your roles and just before authorization check you will amend string.
Hi Martin,
Have you ever tried this and used it in production?
Changing the value sent to the AUTHORITY-CHECK is easy but very intrusive to the data in the program which might be used else where.
Changing the value at runtime which the AUTHORITY-CHECK expects to find is a different ball game (also in performance).
I have done some experimental stuff with this in sandboxes using STATICS in a wrapper for fixed lengths but cannot recommend it at all. I cannot see it ever flying in an AUTHORITY-CHECK statement construct.
It is also completely unauditable to any authorization analysis tool...
Hang on a second... if SPRO can do this then we can as well --> I think we have a winner here!

What is considered as a wild card for a query

I am calling a query from Visual Composer. But I need to run the query when the variable is not selected. I have made the Variable optional.
But whenever the "input field" is left blank, it seems like Visual composer is passing a NULL value or something. I need to pass a wild card instead of NULL.
Does anybody have any idea what would be a wild card. I have tried ' ' but it did not work.
Thanks,

Arun,
I am on BI 7.0. I tried your recommendations, but when I enter '#' it does not get any data in Bex.
For VC, %20 also does not work. Any other ideas??

Using wild card with Captivate 5 ( fill in the blank)

I am training software package that requires many fill in the blanks besides the login screeen. If I were to recording the actions using Captivate 5 record, I think, I can only use a demonstration recording as oppsed to having my students interact with the product by filling in the blank. For example, my product asks for a login. When I login to demonstrate how it should be done, the product reponds correctly. By my student is limited to watching as opposed to interacting. While login is not such a big deal, there are several other areas where the same concept applies. Ideally, I wish to use wild cards in fill in the blank so that any name or information can be used to interact with Captivate and move the slide along. Is this possible, and if so, how?

I think Lilybiri may be misinterpreting your use of the term "wildcards" to mean using them in the programming sense.
Perhaps you are referring to the characters that appear in a typical Password field to hide what the user is actually typing?
If so, the text field object in Captivate has an option to use these password characters so that the user's typing characters are hidden. The characters used are asterisks, which are what some people refer to as wildcard characters.

File adapter wild card not working

Hi Gurus,
My file adapter seems to have issues with me
This adapter do not obey me when I specify wild cards. I have tried * , ? and also "Adavnced selection of source file" but no use. Although, he is a perfect gentleman when I specify complete file names.
Could you please suggest how to tame him?
Regards,
AV.

Hi,
this is what SAP Help says about it:
file.sourceFileName=<filename>
Specify the name of the file that you want to process.
The name can contain a placeholder (*) at any point, so as to be able to select a list of files for processing.
The following are valid examples for filename:
myFile.txt
my*.txt
*.txt
File.
File.*
myle.
Names that comprise more than two parts are also permitted.
Hope it helps.

Patrick

Wild Card as key field value in Content Conversion

Hi,
Can any one please tell me that can a wild card such as '*' be used as key field value.
Thnx,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi Pravesh
For the file name in the sender file adapter you can use the '*' or '?'(as a placeholder for exactly one character)
You can also enable the "Advanced Selection for Source File" in the sender file adapter, where you can do two things:
a)you can specify an exclusion mask for the file name specified above.
b)you can specify/lits multiple directories with a file name and an associated exclusion mask, e.g. in file name you put ".txt" and in the associated exclusion mask "a". The every file with ".txt" except "a" will be fetched from that directory.
Try it out.

Characteristic wild card in report painter

Dear experts..
I am developing a report painter for PS cost element report with structure CCSS.
I want to create rows with dynamic characteristic and I am thinking of using wildcard in the characteristic variable.
What I am trying to achieve is basically to filter WBS only for those which consist "ABC" in the project number (ABC in POSID). I know it can be achieved in the selection screen but I want the selection screen to be as generic as possible and only filter it at row level.
In the normal functional report we can use '*' as the wildcard but it can not be used in characteristic variable.
Appreciate any enlightenment on how to use variable or set to be able to do this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Alexei,
Welcome to SDN.
You need to give the exact file name. System can not determine file name with wild card.
Hope this will help.

How to use wild card character in input field

Hi
I'm creating model in which the Purchase Order information need to be entered in Input Field.
My requirement is search using wild char char as '*'
Let say in input field i gave PO order as 20* then it'll search for all the PO's which starts from 20.
Could you please share some documents/guidelines, for this issue
Thanks and Regards
Puneet

Hi,
You can use the wild card char in the input box.please try below steps.
1.Check whether the input string has ' * ' char using "CONTAINS(text,pattern)" operation.
2.If yes, Replace the ' * ' with space by "REPLACE(text,pattern,repstr)" operation.->consider this result as input2
3.Now , Have a Filter from ur webservice(which gives your Purchase Order information )
and filter it by the condition " BEGINS(WSField,input2)"
the Final expression in the filter will be "_=IF(CONTAINS(input,""),BEGINS(HelpWSField,REPLACE(input,"\","")),true)_"
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Priya

When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card

When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card. I have tested with both 1.0.3 and 1.0.5 clients with RabbitMQ 3.1.5.
I was wondering if the community was aware of this problem and if there are any workarounds? If not what is the proper channel to file a bug report. An example code snippet is below. The test fails because the TextMessageMatcher expects the destination passed in on construction (second parameter) to equal the desination on the message received (aquired from getJMSDestination).
        Mockery context = new Mockery();
        final MessageListener messageListener = context.mock(MessageListener.class);
        final Latch latch = new LatchImpl();
        final String prefix = "test" + System.currentTimeMillis();
        context.checking(new Expectations() {
                oneOf(messageListener).onMessage(with(new TextMessageMatcher("MSG1", prefix + ".1234")));
                will(new CustomAction("release latch") {
                    @Override
                    public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
                        latch.unlatch();
                        return null;
        final Connection connection = createConnection(null, null);
        Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        connection.start();
        Topic wildcardTopic = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + "." + "#");
        Topic destination = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + ".1234");
        final MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(wildcardTopic);
        consumer.setMessageListener(messageListener);
        MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(null);
        producer.send(destination, session.createTextMessage("MSG1"));
        latch.await(5000);
        connection.close();
        Thread.sleep(5);
        context.assertIsSatisfied();

Check where your MDB sends the [response] messages to.

This gives me correct result.
But i need to search *Rel and it should give me the desired result. How can i accomplish that?
I tried the foll and it did not work:

Wild card search in a FM

Hi experts,
I have a FM in which there is one table customer_name
It has fields as SIGN (type SIGN), OPTION (type OPTION), LOW (type name1_gp), HIGH (type name1_gp).
Now the user can give single value, or a range of values for the customer name.
I am familiar with the wild card search for a select option, but not sure how to apply that funda here.
For ex: If a customer enters the customer name as MG*, then all the names starting with MG should appear
in the output.
Similarly, if the user enters AP* in LOW and MG* in high, the corresponding output should be displayed.
Can you please help me out?
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi,
Do like this
t_table-sign = 'I'.
t_table-option = 'CP'.
t_table-low = 'AB*'.
t_table-high = 'MG*'.
append t_table.
Use this in your select query.

Alert Rule - not working. Wild Card character issue

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to trigger alerts for mapping failures
of all the interfaces whose namespace is urn:abc.com:odna* or urn:abc.com.odna*. (in the first instance, there is dot before odna and int he second instance, a colon before odna )
So to suit both the cases, I gave urn:abc.comodna in the Alert Rule.
It worked before. But now its not working.
Then when i changed it to urn:abc.com:odna* it works again. i really dont understand how it worked before and why it fails now.
What is the reason for the unpredicatable behaviour of WildCard Character based Alert Rules?
Should Wild Card Characters be avoided completely?

Hey
Just create two separate alert rules for the same alert category
one for urn:abc.com:odna* and another for urn:abc.com.odna*.
but before that please make sure that "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" box is unchecked.
Also please check SAP Note 913858
Thanx
Aamir
