Hello,
We are running Netweaver 2004s with Portal integrated.
From the BW Query Designer (SAPGUI tool on desktop) it is possible to 'publish to portal'.
This generates an 'iview' in the portal. This is GREAT, but......
The 'Bex Web Application Query String' in the iview is built automagically
(e.g. QUERY=ZBFPR_C99_Q001&USE_PERSONALIZATION=false)
The QUERY= part is fine, however I can't figure out where the '&USE_PERSONALIZATION=false' comes from - and we MAY want to change this.
We definitely would like to ADD '&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X' to this 'query-string' as it is automatically built in Query Designer.
Obviously, we can manually change each iview that is built, but this will become a maintenance nightmare.
I have experimented with modifying the template (a copy of 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN), but we are using this template for 'ad-hoc' queries as well as the underlying template for query execution in the Portal. I got the template to behave nicely as 'ad-hoc' query executioner, and know that if the iview has this extra parameter it behaves as desired. I would rather not create a second template to render the queries, but this is also an option if no way can be found to add the parameter to the generated iview.
I have searched every source known to me (SPRO, Portal 'templates', SDN, several books, google) and have not been able to find any inclination of how this 'string' can be customized, although there are several references to the parameters that can be passed in the iview (manually maintained).
Your comments and assistance is much appreciated.
