Wildcard in BEx

Hi all,
How can i set a filter by using a wildcard ? For example i need the create a restricted key figure based on CUSTNO like CUSTNO starts with value '9' and ends with '450', etc.
Query must include th values :
90000450
90001450
90005450
But query must exclude the values :
90000390
80000001
90000280
etc...
thanks,
Yigit

Hi,
You can create a variable on customer with the below properties:
Processing by : user entry/default values
Variable represents = selection option
User Entry is = Optional
Ready for Input = untick
Sign = include values
Option = Contains the pattern
Default value = 9****450
Try the above it should work.
Send me you mail id I can send the screenshot of variable creation.
Assign points if helpful.

Your views are appreciated..
Thanks

Hello
I have done similarly like this,
but when i executed the report, it says the CP is not supported and characteristics is numeric.
my scenario is i want to restrict material group starting with 1L* like 1L11, 1L12, 1L13..,etc
I have used customer exit variable.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'IVMATGRPL'.
IF i_step = 1.
 L_S_RANGE-LOW = '1L*'.
 L_S_RANGE-HIGH = ''.
 L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
 L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'CP'.
 append l_s_range to e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
what could be the problem?
Thanks

BW BEx using a wildcard ("*")???

Hello BW Gurus,
Does anyone know if its possible to select characteristics in BW BEx using a wildcard-like () approach. For example, if you wanted to filter on 6 digit GL Accounts that start with a 3 and end with a 1 (31). I can seem to come up with anything. As a test Ive tried to use the customer exit and the CMOD structure:
     l_s_range-low = 3000001.
     l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
     l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
     append l_s_range to e_t_range.
     l_s_range-low = 3001001.
     l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
     l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
     append l_s_range to e_t_range.
Thinking that I could use a select statement and a loop to fill e_t_range but it appears that e_t_range only holds one record at a time (i.e. BEX errors out when I try this code).
Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately I could not get the CP operator to not work in the CMOD but if I add a a clear statement "CLEAR L_S_RANGE." to the code as in...
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW      = '0000310000'.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
-->     CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW      = '0000410000'.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
it works. I believe the BEX variable must be defined with the multiple single select option.
Thanks you

Selecting Wildcard ' *** ' as a value in Bex and Active Table for DSO

Good day
I have search SDN, but could not find a similar request/enquiry.
I am extracting master data for vehicle category and vehicle sub-category via DB Connect from an Oracle db. From a source in Germany, the vehicle subcat is filled with ' *** ' due to business reasons. This ' *** ' carries a value and BW should be able to display all the ' *** ' for a certain vehicle category in BEx and in the master data or active data in DSO when transaction data is loaded. The master data is loaded with the ' *** ', no problem there, but when you want to display only the subcategories = ' *** ' , then all the data for all the subcategories registered under the specific category will display:
Master Data
Vehicle Cat : Vehicle Subcat : Description
Z : *** : Freigtliner
Z : CAT : Caterpillar
Z : DD : Detroit Diesel
Thus Z and *** will display the data for Z ***, Z CAT and Z DD.
Is there a way I can change this and only display data for ***?
Your expert assistance will be appreciated.
Cj

Hi,
You mean to say is you need to display attributes of vehicle category?
If so.. then add vehicle category in rows and then right click->attributes->select the sub category. Right click on the vehicle category and then properties->choose for no display.
Accordingly you can choose whether to display or not to display in properties.
Execute and test the query for your results.
Hope this helps,

Bex reporting filters using wildcards in 2004s, BI 7.0

Hi ALL,
We have reporting requirements to filter records on text.
For eg:
In our Infoprovider we have a char field with text value
1. "ABC EFG HIJ"
2. "EFG STV ABC"
3. "MNO QRS UVW"
In our reports i need to show only those records with does not contain 'EFG'
3. "MNO QRS UVW"
How can i achieve this in BI 7.0?
I tried to use variable ( optional, selection option ) using customer exit. But it doesn't work.
The code i used is given below.
x_vnam: 'ztest'
    clear l_s_range.
    l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'CP'.
    l_s_range-low = 'EFG'.
    append l_s_range to e_t_range.
I created a variable in 3.x with option "does not contains patterns" , but it does not work with BI 7.0.
we are on NW2004S SP 10
Thanks in advance.

Hi Niveda,

Use wildcards in webi report filters? It seems they're only avail in Query

Can I use wildcards in webi report filters? It seems they're only avail in Queries...

HI,
Eventhough you have created variable BeX query designer.
User reponse will work ,
steps to achive,
1.open the universe build on (Bex query with customer variable)
2.you can find the filter symbol in universe for customer variable that you have created in bexx query
3. then copy the exact text eg:"select the customer" in universe for that filter
4.then in webi user reponse of that text. eg :userreponse("select the customer")

BEx Analyzer / authorizations / query search

Hello everyone
Today I have a problem with my authorizations for the the BEx Analyzer.
The technical name of my InfoArea is VCOPA.
I have a number of queries with the technical name VCOPA_MM001 / VCOPA_M01_X0001 / and so on.
When I open the BEx analyzer and search for queries (wildcard *) I get only my queries with the technical name VCOPA. So far so good... Unfortunately the Bex search results display additionally several query views (like 0D_DX_M01_Q0001_V05) and that is bad. So how can I stop this?
My authorization settings:
S_RS_COMP
ACTVT: 03, 16

BEx Settings Help

I Have 2 questions
In BEx Analyzer Variable Screen. We can search using WildCard like "*".If we want to search only some of the materials Numbers which got 67 in the Number. We can search 67 and execute it so that it will bring only these materials. Unfortunately This is not working with "*" but its working with "+" wildcard. How we can change this setting?????
In the BEx analyser suppose we have Material as Variable with Select Options. Right next to Arrow we will have a Sign which is more like View Sign if we click on this we can Paste list of Material Numbers. Its like we do it for Table fields search. In this selection it is allowing just 1000 Values can I increase this so that it will allow to paste 5000 Values??
Any ideas?? Please assist

Hi,
If you have such a big list, you can copy the text, by using text copy function, ther by you need not to paste in the regular cells..
hope this works

Inconsistency between Bex and Back end

Hello, I have a query about bex issue. I have few fields in my DSO/Cube which has data showing correctly in the back end but in Bex it shows partial of those values. like if i have something like this:
ZField
000000000000000000008
It shows correct in DSO table but in Bex it only shows the zeros. do you know why and how to get this to show the whole field value?
Thanks.
By the way this is a characteristic and not keyfigure.

Hi Vekant,
If you have not did any speecific thing at query level then value should be shown correctly.
Please try this once and check.
Create new test query on your data target drag and droup your charecteristic.please execute your test query and see if you are able to see the correct value.
try this.

Error while trying to Open and Delete a BEx Query in Query Designer.

Hi Experts,
I have been facing this issue with BEx Query in Designer mode for a couple of days now in Development Environment in BI 7.0.
I would like to Delete an unwanted BEx Query because I need to give it's name to another BEx Query.
Whenever I try to Open this Query in BEx Query Designer to Delete, it gives out an error saying:
"An error occurred while communicating with the BI server.
As a result of this error, the system has been
disconnected from the BI server.
Detailed Description:
STOP: Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
STOP: System eror in program CL_RSR and form GET_CHANMID-01 - (see long text)"
Details text is as below:
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
I have tried with SAP Note 899572, but still it's the same.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Could you please let me know if you have better ideas or solution?
Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Arun - Thanks a million. You saved me Nine. It worked.
Could you also please tell me how to rename (Technical) a Query or is it still "Save the Query As" the only way...?
Points already assigned.

Report performance while creating report on BEx

All all!
I am creating a report on BOE 4.0 on top of BEx connection as a source. I have developed reports on top of universe in the past and i know that if we keep calculations on reporting end it hampers the report performance. Is this the same case with BEx? if we are following the best practices is it ok to say that we should keep all heavy calculations/ aggregation on BEx or backend for better report performance.
Can you guys please provide your opinion based on your experiance and knowledge. Any feedbacks will help! Thanks.

Hi,
Definitely best-practice to delegate a maximum of CKF to the Cube where possilble, put RKF in the BEx query, and Filters too.
also, add Default Values to your Variables (this will speed up generation of the bics transient universe)
also, since Patch2.10, we are seeing some significant performance improvements reducing 'document initialization' and 'time to prompts' by up to 50% (step such as these often took 1.5 minutes, even on sized systems)
Also, make sure you have BW corrections like this implemented: 1593802 Performance optimization when loading query views
In the BusinessObjects landscape - especially with BI 4.0 - it's all about Sizing and Tuning . Here is your bible the 'sizing companion' guide : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000738725&_OBJECT=011000358700000307202011E
Pay particular attention to BICSChunkSize registry settings
Also, the -Xmx JVM Heap Size for the Adaptive Processing Server that is running the DSL_Bridge service.
