Default value from SAP BW User Exit Var. + Universe + WebI

311 Views

I currently don't seem to be able to use SAP BW User Exits to set the default value for parameters which a WebI report prompts for. A simple example is listed below but in general I'd like to understand how to get the value proposed by a SAP BW user exist to appear as the default for WebI. I think the problem is in defining the universe on top of the BEx Query.

When running a report I need to default fiscal period to the current fiscal year to date e.g. set it to 01.2009 to 03.2009. The user can then change these values if say they want to report on periods 01.2009 to 02.2009.

With SAP BW BEx I would use a user exit variable and determine the from and to values. I've done this in the BEx query and I am now trying to get the same report reporting using WebI but when it prompts me for fiscal period on executing the WebI report no default values appear (blank).

I'm using SAP BI 7.0 with Business Objects Web Intelligence XI 3.1

I've been trying any number of different settings for "delegate" etc. when defining the universe but can't get user exits which determine the default, which a user can then overwrite to work.

Thanks.
