Capturing Webi Report name in BEx Customer Exit variable Code

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a scenario where we have a customer exit variable created on top of a characterstic and that is performing certain function which returns a field from a loop up table and populates it to the variable.

Now, to query that look up table in the ABAP code of the customer exit, we need to set some flag based on the webi report which is triggering the BEx query execution.

So we have SAP BEx query--> Universe --> Webi report

so at customer exit code level, i need to capture the webi report name which has triggered the BEx query execution. Any standard ABAP function which can written me that piece of information or is there any other approach.

Hi,

I think it is not possible to get the webi name into bex query and I don't understand why you need it in BEx query.

(Why do you need an Universe between Bex and Webi)

I agree with Antoine on this. You can capture the prompt entered (if it is created in Bex Query Designer) in WebI but I don't think you can capture the name of a WebI report.

What is the reason you want this to be captured in ABAP function?

Hello,

To answer the questions..

1. We are using universe because end user wants to leverage the webi output in excel sheet through live office connections. Direct webi connection to BEx query does not support this according to SAP.

They suggested to use universe inbetween.

2. Reason why we need to capture the Webi report name at BEx customer exit level is because we need to capture certain fields in look up table based on the webi report name. those fields are inturn used for other purpose. Its bit non conventional, but thats what we are trying to do.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use live office on top of webi on top of direct BICS (BO 4)

I think you must create differente Bex query for each WEBI report you need or create WEBI for each user needed structure.
