Only posted values for Navigation does not work

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a problem where all master data is shown in the input help for a variable, even when the setting for the info object is to show only posted values.

In a WEB template I have tree reports using tree different data providers. The setting in the web template is to show the same variable only once and that works. The setting of the info objects is to show only posted values. That does not work!

When using the input help for a variable, all master data shows, not only the poster values in the data providers.

When unchecking the setting Display Same Variable Only Once (MELT_VARBLES) the variables appears tree times each and the input help works as expected. It shows only posted values.

Any experience of this?

Best Regards

Kent

Hi Kent,

If you build several queries on different infoproviders, then put them into one web template or workbook. Variables from different queries with the same technical name will get merged in variable screen (Set parameter MERGE_VARIABLES=True in web template property. Set "Display Duplicated Variables Only Once" in workbook settings for variables).

This means, that it is not possible to decide which infoprovider the variable is based on. The provider is unknown to the system when doing F4 help so that D mode is not possible since D mode [Only Values in InfoProvider]  is also infoprovider dependent. So only M mode ['Values in Master Data Table'] is possible.

In such merge variable situation, the authorizated values in F4 help is also retrieved without specific infoprovider.
