Deleting variables

[Former Member]

Hi..

does anyone know of any other way to delete BEx variables other than using transaction RSZDELETE? I am having a problem where no variables are appearing on the list.

thanks,

Allan

Hi Allan,

goto the BEX into a query that runs on a cube that contains the characteristic on which the variable is created. Select the variable from the list and delete it there.

But you can only delete variables that are not used somewhere.

well,

the only way i've known how to delete variables is by opening a query in BEx Query Designer, looking for variables (based on the characteristic/KF) and deleting them manually... but i'm sure that's no help to you.

let me try to think up of some other way...

Thanks guys.

That helps. The way I normally use is RSZDELETE because it shows you what the var is attached to so you know the full impact before deleting it.

I was just looking for any other alternatives that are out there.

Thanks for the answers.

Otherwise (but this is only a pure on theory exercise) you can do the following:

check your variable in RSZGLOBV (field VNAM)

go to RSZELTXREF with RSZGLOBV-VARUNIID (in TELTUID)

here you have all objects (SELTUID) that use your variable !

then go to RSZCOMPDIR-COMPUID = SELTUID

That's all !

Vye,
