User Exits in SAP BW

Know How Network Call 16.12.1999

SAP AG BW Development
SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 1

Definition User-Exit
For many SAP customers, the options available in customizing
are not sufficient, since they wish to change and adapt SAP
transactions to suit their own requirements. The problem here is
that, after every maintenance level or release upgrade, the
changes have to be adjusted to coincide with SAP corrections
and developments.
To reduce this effort in a SAP System (or to avoid it totally),
customers can make their own enhancements in a layer separate
from SAP.
Rather than make changes to the original code, they make them
in their own special area. This is created by SAP and delivered
empty or with standard values during system installation.
Customers can implement additional functionality in this area.

The applications programmer makes the necessary transaction


data explicitly available via an interface.

User-Exit for Variables


Enhancement: RSAP0001
The components for the enhancement are the function modules:
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 (Transaction Data)
This function module allows you to fill user-defined fields that you have
attached to existing InfoSources as append structures.

EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 (Master Data Attributes)


This function module allows you to fill user-defined fields that you have
attached to master data structures of the BW as append structures

EXIT_SAPLRSAP_003 (Texts)
This function module allows you to change the contents of a generated
text transfer table for a text request. This can be useful if only one short
text exists for an InfoObject but you would like to attach the mediumlength text from the user-defined table.

EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 (Hierarchies)

This function module allows you to change the contents of a transfer table
created for a hierarchy request.

4. Virtual Characteristics and


Virtual Key figures

SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 28

User-Exit for Virtual characteristics and key figures


Enhancement: RSR00002

The components for the enhancement are the function


modules EXIT_SAPMRSRU_001 and EXIT_SAPMRSRU_999.

SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 29

What is a Virtual Characteristic / Key figure


A virtual characteristic / key figure is an object of the InfoCube.
The values are derived at query run time.
Examples:
The SalesRep is derived from Product and Customer. This
assignment changes frequently. Therefore the value for the
characteristic SalesRep can not be stored in the Cube.
You want to calculate with key figure-type attributes of an
InfoObject. E.g. Price is an attribute of Product. Sold-quantity is
an object of the InfoCube. You want to see the revenue (Soldquantity * Price) in your query.

You have an "Open-order-InfoCube". One InfoObject is the


Orderdate. You need a list with the number of days btw. the
orderdate and today.

SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 30

How to program a corresonding Include


You must firstly define the characteristics, or key figures
within the InfoCube
Call up transaction CMOD in the Admin. Workbench
Create a Project
Select Enhancement Components
Select Enhancement RSR00002
Double-click on Exit EXIT_SAPMRSRU_001
Double-click on include ZXRSRU02 within the Exit
Display or change coding
Maintain include ZXRSRTOP
Maintain include ZXRSRZZZ

Don't forget to activate the Project

here Query (Queryname, InfoCube, ...)

Exporting:
E_T_CHANM

Table with the name of the virtual


characteristics

E_T_KYFNM

Table with the name of the virtual key figures

SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 32

Remarks
You should note that the data records transferred can be on a
different aggregation level depending on read procedure and
drilldown.
Moreover, compound information is not automatically changed with
compounded characteristics after changing a higher-level
characteristic. In addition, the compound characteristic must also be
defined in the mode RRKE_C_MODE-NO_SELECTION.
Furthermore, the fiscal year (0FISCYEAR), the fiscal year period
(0FISCPER) and the fiscal year variant (0FISCVARNT) cannot be read
or changed in the enhancement. (*)

Enhancement 999 may not be changed. Calling up serves to update


information via the structure C_S_DATA. This functionality is
completely taken over by form USER_INIT_GLOBALS.

SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 33

Remarks
Can you use a Navigational Attribute on top of a Virtual characteristic?

Solution: Don't use a Navigational Attribute, use a virtual characteristic for the attribute value.

Select joins

with

The User-exit is called after the select

SAP AG, Dec. 1999 (Joachim Mette)

Slide 34

At this time the Virtual


characteristic is initial. The
attribute is the value of the
initial-entry from the
master-data table

Now, the Virtual


characteristic is filled

When the first query is added to a workbook, the Analyzer
will also add a VBA subroutine to the workbook:
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID as String, resultArea as Range)
' your own code goes here ...
' example: MsgBox queryID
' example: MsgBox resultArea.rows.count
' example: resultArea.AutoFilter
End Sub

This subroutine will be called each time a query is


refreshed in the workbook
resultArea holds the result area after the refresh

queryID specifies which query has been refreshed
