Workbook is not filtering based on Exit Variable during refresh

Hi,
I have a workbook with a query embedded in it. While opening the workbook it is not refreshing the variable using the value from the user exit. While I am executing the query it is working properly.
In workbook "Refresh Workbook on Open" is selected.
Query is working with following exit code (both step 1 & 2)
WHEN 'ZEXTICK_DT_YD'.                    "Yesterday based on system date
    IF i_step = 1.
      l_date = sy-datum - 1.
      l_s_range-low       = l_date.
      l_s_range-sign      = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt       = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.
We are in BI 7 and Support pack 15.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I having a similar kind of issue with the exit, that doesnt work with a refresh but works perfectly as such. Did you figure out a way to make it work with refresh? If so, would appreciate if you share with us the solution.

Workbook does not contain any input-ready variables

Hello Experts,
We have one workbook which is not reacting when click on REFRESH or SHOW VARIABLE.
If clicked on VARIABLE screen it is throwing error "The workbook does not contain any input-ready variables" (screenshot attached)
Points I have checked are as below
1. If I create a new workbook by executing the respective query and refresh then it is working.
2. The file is in xls format and I have checked the USE XLS format under Global setting.
3. My Excel version is 2010. SAP version is SAPKW70105. BEx 7.X, support package 8.
4. It is not authorization issue otherwise the issue would have happened for the new workbook I created for testing.
5. Also I tested with user ID with SAP ALL access.
is there any way to repair the workbook so that it respond to Variable and refresh options ?
Thanks,
Gopi R

Hi Yasemin,
Thanks for your help,
I have small clarification, I have following data in base cube,After restricting the customer exit variable
on revenue I suppose I will get one Amount, i.e 7800, But If I want month wise, Do I need to create offset? or without creation of offset is there any way that will split based customer exit variable.....
Thanks a lot

Subject: Where are SAP Exit Variables and how to use them in Bex Query

I have seen references to variables: 0cyear (Current Year), 0CALYEAR (current year), oCALMONTH (Current month/year).
Under 0CALMONTH characteristic or 0CALYEAR I do not see any of the variables, so how does
one use these variable in the query. For example I want to create a restricted key figure: Duration restricted by Current calendar year (e.g. 2009 if I am in 2009, 2010 if I am in 2010..).

Thanks a lot. Actally, I was looking in my production system and under varaiables I did not find any SAP Exit variables,
but in development envrionment I do see some.
Why will it not show me these variables in production? Is it because:
1. Some special premssion is required to view this type of variable
or
2. THese varaiables were not installed from Business Content
It is hard for me to beleive, it is permission issue.

Hi Sruthi reddy
In the SE38 transaction edit the following include: ZXRSRU01 (if it doesn't exist you'll have to create a new project but this is other problem)
It's probable that part of this code already exists in your system.

DATA: t_date LIKE SY-DATUM.
CASE i_vnam.
WHEN 'ZLAST6MTH'.

     t_date = SY-DATUM.
     f_date = SY-DATUM - 180. "Of course this is NOT polite
     l_s_range-low = f_date.
     l_s_range-high = t_date.

Customer Exit variable of Query not working in View

Hi,
I have a customer exit variable in my query to calculate the last 6 month period on Calendar month. I have used 0CMONTH for the same and then using offset of 6 on its value range to get it.
Now, I have many views based on this query, which should ideally be having the same filter condition for the calendar month, but it is not happening. Although, it is working fine for the query! The views do not seem to be catching the selection correct.

Hi there,
As far as I Know, yes they exist. The only difference here, is that you build a query with a selection screen, and you execute the query with some selection parameters, and therefore all customer exit variables, offsets, etc, will be read and changed at the runtime execution of the query, and you can rearrange your query visualization drilling down free char., making filters, etc. and storing that visualization in a view.
If you save your view and execute it afterwards, you'll get the same selection parameters to input, the same offsets, etc, that you have with the query, but with a visualization stored by you.
So that should have been working.
Diogo.

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Variables from workbook are not visible in the Planning function

Hi,
We're using a workbook with a bunch of queries in it. Every query has a lot of variables declared that are calculated based on two input ready variable that users are required to fill the first time.
Everything works as expected until the save data function is called, which in turn calls the planning function.
Here, the user exit variable try to be recalculated again. Unfortunately, this planning function loses track of the two input ready variables that were on the workbook, so the user exit variables have no values.
Can you please suggest a method so that:
a) The user exit processing in the planning function "sees" the two input ready variables
b) The user exit processing is not triggered in the planning function and it's taking the already calculated values
Let me know if you require further information.
Best regards,
George

Hi,
the variables in the filter of the query lives in one variable container and the variables of the filter of the planning sequence live in another variable container. They do not know each other. You need to establish a relationship between them. Usually this is done via variable binding for regular variables. For exit variables the variable binding can be done as written above.
If as in your case you have variables in the filter of the query and you want to use their values in the variable of the planning sequence than you need to store the values somewhere where you can retrieve them in the exit. This can be in a e.g. in shared memory or in the session memory. To do this you need to spend an extra exit variable in the filter of the query. The exit variable reads the real values and stores it somewhere (e.g. shared memory, global parameter of a function group, a class member or something similar). Now as the variable value is stored it can be read in the implemenation of the exit variable in the filter of the planning sequence.
In total we have 3 variables:
Variable 1 contains the value which the user keys in and exists in the filter of the query.
Variable 2 reads variable 1 and stores the value. It needs to be defined in the filter of the query as well.
Variable 3 reads the stored value and needs to be defined in the filter of the planning sequence.

Query Drilldown does not Invoke Customer Exit Variables

We have a problem with performing a drilldown in a BEx Analyzer reprot, basically the client is a Trading company and they have inter company trading. We are using the Profit Centre as one of thre u201CFree Characteristicsu201D in the query and hence we are able to drilldown on a Characterictc by Profit Centre.
We are using a couple of BEx query variables (Customer Exit variables) to determine the inter-area and extrenal area profit centres and these profit centres will be different based on the level of Hieracry node selected when the query is initially executed. For example if we assume a hierarchy with has one root node, 3 children under the root node and 2 grand-children under each of the 3 child nodes, now if we are at the root Node of the Hierarchy then every profit centre is internal and there are no external profit centres, similarly if we are at the 2nd node (i.e. one of the child nodes) then everything under that node is internal and everything in the other 2 child nodes is external and so on.
This is where the issue starts for us, since on the report if we select the the node we want to see the results for at the query rumtime (i.e. the Customer Exit Variables are invoked at I_STEP=2 and they select the other nodes of the hierarcy if any and group them into either external or internal) then the results are correct. Now if we were to drilldown, i.e. We selected the root node and we drilldown on to see for example of the child nodes then the result are not correct, this becomes apparent when we drilldown further to the grand-child nodes.
One logical explaination is that when we are doing the drilldowns the customer exit variables are not being invoked in the BEx analyzer report and hence they are not grouping the sums for the internal and external profit centres relevent to node selected in the Drill down.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to make this query work properly or show the correct results in BEx Analyzer (ideally), I have considered the Workbooks option but the client does not want Workbooks.
Please let me know if there is a program etc we can customise to ensure that the Customer Exit variables logic is used when the user does a drilldown in the query or any other way to make it work.
Many Thanks
Jack

Hi
Just to aid anyone who is thinking what to do in a similar situation, I am aware that RRI or using workbooks are a couple of good alternatives (just that these are currently not being considered by the client, hence I am asking here).. Also, if someone has Business Objects WEBI then we can satisfy the requirement by creating a new Webi Report for each of the nodes and displaying it (similar to Workbooks but much nicer and faster) or we can get the Webi to execute the variables again during the drilldown... Unfortunately the client is not using Webi either... So the solution has to be in BEx Analyzer / Query designer based...
If you have any thoughts on how I might be able to do what I want to do then please feel free, I am quite confident that I am not the 1st person to come accross this issue and someone somewhere has solved this issue.
Thanks

WEBI prompt based on bex variable suppress not assigned hashtag value in LOV

Hi,
is it possible to suppress the "Not assigned (#)" value from the list of values in a webi prompt based on a bex variable?
This "Not assigned" value is something BW specific, BW adds this to each characteristic automatically?!
WEBI:
RSRT:
It needs to work in WEBI, not only in RSRT, and the filtering of data still needs to work.
For rsrt it works, when you exclude the not assigned value in "Filter > Characteristic Restrictions" and use the bex variable in/through "Filter > Default Values", but this does not work in WEBI, because the BEX Query Data is not filtered on the in the prompt selected value.
Thanks.

David

Thanks David for a quick reply !
I could manage to avoid # values in WebI prompt using BAdI implementation, here is the brief:
Problem:
WebI report prompt (which shows BEx variable) list of values shows blanks or # . Rrequirement was to avoid these blanks or #
Environment:
BW 7.3
BO 4.0
BW Cube > BEx Query > OLAP Connection > WebI report
Solution:
InfoObject Level1 in BW had # values in masterdata, this could not be deleted since it was in use with other Cubes.
Vaurable Var_Level1 displays # when pressed F4 running BEx query and in list of values in WebI report prompt.
I implemented BAdI on Level1 info object and variable Var_Level1.
Steps to implement BAdI are as in following link
BEx Query - Control the values which are shown on F4
Used following code to elimitate #.

Display Error Message in BW Report based on Customer Exit Variable

Hi
I need to display an error message in the BW report based on the value of a customer exit variable - i was able to do this successfully in BW3.5 using the below code.
WHEN 'ZUPN'. "Here ZUPN is the customer exit variable
    IF i_step = 1.
      <check for condition -- if successful, variable flag = 1, else variable flag = 0>
      IF flag = 0.
        MESSAGE e157(00). "Error Message
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
I have upgraded my system to BI 7.0 now. Whenever the variable check is not successful, it displays a blank screen instead of the error message in the report. Please advice if we need to change the code and how ??

Bhanu,
Thanks for u r reply.This warning message appears every time i execute the report through portal.
Any idea ?

Customer Exit Variable Period 000 is not valid in financial year variant Z2

Hi all,
I am trying to get the week number from a particular posting period. But I get this error when I execute the Query:
Error Group
RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
Message
SYST: Period 000 is not valid in financial year variant Z2
I checked in "FIRST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET" FM and it is not accpting period 000 for PERIV Z2. It works fine for all other periods.
Does anyone have an idea on this?
Thanks.

Simon,
So do you think that there is a problem in my Query restrictions? You ask me to restrict from 0 - 12, but this period is calculated based on the SY_DATUM in a cust. exit variable. And this period is being used to pull week number. So, do I need to change the code?
But I already have another query which is similar to this, only ready for input options are missing in the new one. The older one is working fine but the I have problem with this.
Any more ideas?
Thanks!!

Defining an exit variable for a specific day based on Fiscal Period

If I do not have Calendar Day time dimension available for reporting is it possible to define a customer exit variable for a specific day. The days are the first and last day of the financial year?
Example
User Input for Fiscal Period: 2009004
The exit is to define a value for 01.01.2009 and 31.12.2008 (end of last year)
Thanks

Hello Niten,
yes it is possible. Procedure:
- add a new column in the report structure
- hide this column
- create a new text variable in this column (for customer exit)
- now you can fill this variable during query execution based on 0FISCPER
You don't want to filter by this variable. Right?
Buy,
André

Behavior of customer exit variables (used as prompt) in a workbook

Hi All,
We are on NW2004s. I am using a customer exit variable in the prompt for my query then saved the query as a workbook.
1. When I run the query the customer exit routine/program is called and the selection screen variable is populated with the correct value.
Ex. Calendar year variable is a prompt variable defined as customer exit variable that gets the current year.
when you run the query the prompt for calendar year shows "2007" as default value. this is correct.
2. when I run the workbook using this same query, it looks like it is not executing the customer exit program. The value in the calendar year prompt is whatever the last value used when the workbook was last ran.
I also placed a breakpoint in the customer exit program (EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001) to check if it is being called and it looks like it isn't.
Is there a configuration/property that I should enable/check to make sure that customer exit variables used as prompts works in workbooks? Is this a bug? Anybody else have issues with using customer exit variables as prompts in their workbooks?
Thanks in advance,
Malou

Hello Marilou,
See the abswer I got from the 1st response on my question
Save and reuse variable option in 7.0
It may be a good help.
Variables seem to be an understated item in the documents.
Kind regards
