Variable assignment "Create" link opens up BEx Analyzer

[Former Member]

In a portal environment we're testing with, we are running into an unusual issue:

In BEx Broadcaster, We open up a setting created for a particular query. In the General Precalculation tab we are trying to create a variable assignment (Select VAR_01 from dropdown menu -->Create "link"), but when we click on the "Create" link, we're getting the BEx Analyzer instead of the variable screen for that query (doesn't work for any query, but for workbook settings, it works fine). The following has been checked:

ms/redirect_version is set to 1

BI Support Desk tool is all GREEN

Assertion ticket setup is correct (at least I think it is)

I can also pull up Information Broadcasting directly from the backend system (sap/bw/Bex) and the variable screen comes up okay.

Any ideas of some setting we're missing in the portal/backend? Thanks for any help.

(We're using NW SP 17 with BI-Java 17/23...BI Backend is NW SPS16)

UPDATE: fixed by updating support pack to BI JAva 18 (from 17/23). The solution doesn't make much sense, but we've learned to just accept these sort of things in faith
