To run exception reports in the background I need to create a variant for the query. One of the query characteristics is 0CALDAY which is of type DATE.
On regular R/3 or BW variants I can use a Date variable (to select a variable period of time) which are stored in table TVARV.
For some reason, the system does not let me choose a Date variable for the Characteristic on the query variant. It is not interpreted as a Date Characteristic.
How do I create a Customer-exit variable to be used on the variant or modify the characteristic so the system lets me use the Sap-exit variables.
Hello Enrique,
BW comes with several exit variables for the time characteristics. Please look in the Business Content and activate them. This will cover the most common scenarios (for example "Current Period").
Otherwise, you can create you own exit variables. There are various how-to papers on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/bw).
