Web URL Generation for Running a Bex Query:
Basic URL
http://<webportal>.html?redirectURL=http://<SAPNetWeaverPortal>:<Port>/sap/bw/BEx?
CMD=LDOC&SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&BSPLANGUAGE=EN&TEMPLATE_ID=<TemplateName> &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X&INFOCUBE=<InfoCubeName>&QUERY=<QueryName>
Break up of URL
http://<webportal>.html?
redirectURL=
http://<SAPNetWeaverPortal>:<Port>/sap/bw/BEx?CMD=LDOC
&SAP-LANGUAGE=EN
&BSPLANGUAGE=EN
&TEMPLATE_ID=<TemplateName>
&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X
&INFOCUBE=<InfoCubeName>
&QUERY=<QueryName>
&VAR_NAME_1=<VariableTechnicalName>&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=<Value>
Variables can be added at the end of the URL. Detail syntax explained
Selection Screen Option
Adding text “&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X” will display the selection screen during the run Time. And the values which are passed to the variable via URL will be displayed. Click Execute to Run the query and get the results on Web Portal.
Selection Screen will be appearing like this
If the selection screen is not to be displayed during the run time of the query simple Remove the text “&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X” from the URL
Passing Variable Values to Bex Query
Single Value
If variable type is Single value:
&VAR_NAME_1=<TechnicalName>&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=<Value>
- e.g.: &VAR_NAME_1=GPU_CDY&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=01.01.2012
Here Variable name is GPU_CDY
URL as follows:
http://<webportal>.html?redirectURL=http://<SAPNetWeaverPortal>:<Port>/sap/bw/BEx?
CMD=LDOC&SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&BSPLANGUAGE=EN&TEMPLATE_ID=<TemplateName> &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X&INFOCUBE=<InfoCubeName>&QUERY=<QueryName>
&VAR_NAME_1=GPU_CDY&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=01.01.2012
Selection Screen
Multiple Single Values
If variable type is Multiple Single values
&VAR_NAME_1=<TechnicalName>&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=<Value1>&VAR_NAME_2=<TechnicalName>
&VAR_VALUE_EXT_2=<Value2>
e.g.:
&VAR_NAME_1=GPUPGSMV&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=AJO&VAR_NAME_2=GPUPGSMV
&VAR_VALUE_EXT_2=0HR
Here the Variable Name is GPUPGSMV
URL as follows:
