Documentation
Definition
Use
Various options are available for selecting time-dependent data that you want to load into BW:
- Fixed Time Interval
By entering a start date and an end date you specify an interval. The interval indicates the period of time for which you want to select data.
- Routine for Time Interval
You use this routine to specify complex time selections for the data that you want to request. For example, when you only want to load the data for specific times that cannot be determined by an interval or a variable.
- Variable for Interval
Variables are placeholders for values and are replaced with concrete values when data is requested. For example, you use the variable 0CMONTH to load the data for the current calendar month.
The processing type for the variables determines how selections are filled at runtime The system does not check for data type and length when selecting variables.
If errors occur, they are not found until the runtime of the data request. If errors occur, they are only found during the runtime of the data request. However, you can get the system to display the selection limit for a particular variable using Check. The system displays the selections that are determined when data is requested in a table. If the variable cannot be used to determine the selection conditions, the system raises an error and terminates the action.
We recommend that you only create variables (in BEx Query Designer) for time selection, if you want to use the resulting selection condition in several InfoPackages. For more information about using variables, see the online documentation for the BEx Query Designer.
Note:
For more information about using variables, see the online documentation for the BEx Query Designer.
