Definition

In this field you specify variables for periodically scheduled load processes.

If you want to load data from the source system into BW periodically and therefore periodically want to change the entries in the selection fields (for example, the date field), you can select one of the following options for all the fields that can be selected:

  • ABAP Routine (Type 6)

    You can define an ABAP routine which the system processes at runtime. This routine has access to all selection fields and is the last to be processed at runtime.

  • OLAP Variable (Type 7)

    You can use variables here.

You can enter the following variable types directly in the field. For reasons of compatibility to future releases, however, we recommend that you no longer use these variable types; instead you should perform such selections with suitable routines or (OLAP) variables.

For date fields:

  • Get Yesterday (Type 0)

    Yesterday's date is automatically entered in the date field.

  • Get Last Week (Type 1)

    The last week is selected.

  • Get Last Month (Type 2)

    The last month is selected.

  • Get Last Quarter (Type 3)

    The last quarter is selected.

  • Get Last Year (Type 4)

    The last year is selected.

For fields that are not date fields:

  • Dynamic Selection (Type 5)

    You can change fields periodically.
    To define the dynamic selection, after selecting the variable type select Details for Type and enter the required data.
