BEx query role folder didn't appear

Dear experts,
Can experts show me how to create a role folder in BEx Analyzer? Currently we already create a role ZRE01 in BW system and assign the related query in role (Refer attachment role in BW - PFCG). The issue is, the role folder didn't appear in BEx Analyzer role search ( Refer attachment BEx role). Therefore, what should I do to make the role appear in the BEx Analyzer role search? The role already assign to my SAP id in SU01 in BW system.
Please help. Thank you very much.

Hi,
The second screen shot info will appear in BW system when your users login. The Role menu will appear here. This setting is not for BEx.
For every User in Su01, there will be Roles Tab. You have to mention all the Roles to which user has been assigned. These role folders will appear in Bex.
Regards,
SUman

WebIntelligence report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2)

Dear experts,
I'm working on webi report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2). I would like to know your opinions about some points I have noticed.
A - I need to drill throught a hierarchy which contains several millions of members.
Is there a possibility in my report drilling down to one member without selecting all members of the hierarchy in the query panel ?
B - I cannot put a dimension with hierarchy both in the result pane and in the filter pane, although it is possible for any other dimension without hierarchy.
Is there any special trick to achieve this or is a bug??
C - I cannot sort variables defined in my bex query, but they don't appear in the window to sort prompts.
Do you know how to solve this issue ?
D - I noticed all keys and description of dimensions appear with the same label "key" and "text". SO it is very confusing for the user to understand what key or text means (if a key if the customer key or the company code key).
Any idea to have a more explicit label for BW characteristics?
Regards.
CL.

Hi,
I do not have access to a BW system to test this, but i have something on three of your questions...
A) drilling without getting all the lower members. I would look to query drill, this means a drill action in the report will go to the database to fetch the level (and only for the selected member, a drill down).
The only thing I'm not sure about is if the BEx hierarchy is seen as drill hierarchy by that option too.
If you'd ask me it really should.
C) this is an old problem, but I know it is bugging more people, because the same is true for universe based prompts. They also cannot be 'arranged'. Since the Bex query is the 'universe', ordering that has been set in the 'universe' is the only chance you have.
Like with the universe you could use prefixes to separate them from the query defined prompts (based on an alphabetic sort of the prompt message). I'd say this is a good one for the idea place...
D) also an old (very old actually) problem. Some will want to keep the text short and simple. The prefixing will tell which key it is. Some will prefer unique names, so no prefix is needed. The same was true for universe designers. Now since there is no universe, if you do not agree with the 'designer' you're out of luck no way to change it.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Crystal didn't show the BEx query Attributes description changes/Values

We experiencing the BEx query attributes/crystal report issue.
I create a crystal report using BW- BEx query. Bex query displays the attributes values. But in crystal report side it didn;t show up the values as well as description changes.
But If I change the display properties of attributes (different from one attribute to another) the crystal report reflect the values. But crystal report didn't show the Attribute description changes , the one i did it in BEx query side.
Example:
Bex has a Masterdata as well as attribute Field1, Field2 etc.. I changed the description like Field_Test1 and Field_Test2. Also I changed the display property for Field_Test1 is Key and text and long , Field_Test2 is Text & LOng text.
I got the attribute values is crystal report Xi R2. But crystal didn't reflect the description changes?
Suggestions Please?

Best Practice for BEX Query "PUBLISH to ROLE"?

Hello.
We are trying to determine the best practice for publishing BEX queries/views/workbooks to ROLEs.
To be clear of the process I am referring: from the BEX Query Designer, there is an option QUERY>PUBLISH>TO ROLE. This function updates the user menu of the selected security role with essentially a shortcut to the BEX query. It is also possible to save VIEWS/WORKBOOKS to a role from the BEX Analyzer menu. We have found ROLE menus to be a good way to organize BEX queries/views/workbooks for our users.
Our dilemma is whether to publish to the role in our DEV system and transport to PROD,... or if it is ok to publish to the role directly in the PROD system.
Publishing in DEV is not always possible, as we have objects in PROD that do not exist in DEV. For example, we allow power users to create queries directly in PROD. We also allow VIEWS and WORKBOOKS to be created directly in PROD. It would not be possible to publish types of objects in DEV.
Publishing in PROD eliminates the issues above, but causes concerns for our SECURITY team. We would be able to maintain these special roles directly in PROD.
Would appreciate any ideas, suggestions, examples of how others are handling this BEX publish-to-role process.
Thank you.
-Joel

Hi Joel,
Again as per the Best Practices.Nothing to be created in PRD,even if we create them in PRD for Power users its assumed as temprory and can be deleted at any time.
So if there are already deviations then you can go for deviations in this case as well but it wont be the Best Practice.Also in few cases we have workbooks created in PRD as they cud nt be created in DEV due to various reasons...in such cases we did not think of Best Practice ,we had a raised an OSS on this aswell.
In our Project,we have done everything in DEV and transported to PRD,in case there were any very Minor changes at query level we have done in PRD and immedialtely replicated the same in DEV so that they are in SYNC.

Cannot see BEx Query in user role profile in BEx query designer

I assigned several BEx query objects into user profile menu via t-code PFCG first.
Then expected - when I need and open them in BEx query designer I could find them after clicking "Role" button in "Open" window. But unfortuantely I'm not able to do that.
Do I miss anything to archive that? Is other customizing activity else neccessary?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Hi Brad.Ma,
If you can open query from Area "button", after that, you publish it to roles you want assign.
You try generate Authoriation in Role in Tcode PFCG.
Hope help you to solve the problem.

Role folder not appearing

Hi Experts,
I need to save work book under a specific Role. When I click on "Save Workbook as "...couldn't find the Roles folder only able to see Favorites.
To save a workbook to a role Iam maintaining the following authorisations and assigned to user.
S_USER_AGR: ACTVT = *,
ACT_GROUP = [name of the role ]
S_USER_TCD: TCD = RRMX
Please let me know.. am I missing some thing to enable Roles folder?
thanks in advance.
regards,
Raju

You must to add one report (query - woorkbook...) in the Menu from PFCG.
Then add this role to your user and then you can see this.
I hope you can solve the problem with this.
See you

Query Not Running Via BEX Analyzer Role Menu

Hi All,
I have a problem when executing queries via the BEX Analyzer role menu. I can select a query from a role but, when I select the query to run, nothing happens. When I select the same query from the infoarea it runs without any problems. This behaviour occurs for all our queries so is not specific to a particular query.
We're running on version 3.5 and I've just upgraded to the latest patch but this hasn't helped at all.
If I use the role menu via the web application designer the queries all work fine so the problem looks to be pointing at the role menu within BEX Analyzer.
Any ideas ?
Dave

this issue is more related to Security , Roles & authorisation.
u will have to talk to Security team.
While installing latest patch,usuallys uch trouble occurs.
the excel extensions , roles gets affected sometime..

New ratio doesn't appear in Bex Query designer

Hello Experts,
I added 2 ratios to my infocube. It activated without any problem. I then added these 2 ratios to my multiprovider and activated it after affecting them to the previous infocube.
Then I connected to the Bex query designer and loaded a report in order to add these ratios, but there are not available for selection in the Ratio menu of the multiprovider.
Has anyone faced this problem?
Thanks

Try reactivating the Multiprovider again and see if that works !
I had this issue earlier, where I couldn't see two of the newly added characteristics in the multiprovider. But simply reactivating the multiprovider solved my issue.

Bex Query Exception Not Appearing In Bex Report

I have a created an exception in a Bex Query and built a report using the Bex Report Designer. But the exceptions that work fine in the query dont seem to work once I've embedded the query in a report. Is this right? is it not possible to use exceptions in a report or do I need to turn something on etc?
Any help much apreciated.

Hi Joel,
Pls refer the OSS # 331772 reg. this limitation. Exceptions if applied will not be dynamic in RD.
Report designer is a flat structure. You cannot collapse or expand the static columns. Hence, Conditions/Exceptions are not supported in Report Designer. You may try alternatively in WAD. It will surely work in WAD for formatted web based reports.
Thanks,

In BI Bex Query Designer output, dont want to have unit at column Heading..

Hi
I have a BI Bex Query Designer report showing output with Qty unit at Column Heading level. Even in KF's Text i didn't mention unit. I want unit to appear to column fields instead of column heading. Pls let me know how to do that.
One more thing is: i have 2 reports exactly same except due date range is different. first report showing unit for each KF at the column heading level and for 2nd report showing column fields level... Surprising. Pls let me know what is the reason and how to control it.
Thanks...

Hi Harpal,
Key figures can have scaling factors and units/currencies. Normally, units/currencies are displayed for every key figure, but not the scaling factors. If you activate the Display Scaling Factors for Key Figures, an additional header row is added to the row or column header. Information about the scaling factor and currency/unit appears in this additional header row, as long as it is consistent (for example, 1,000 EURO).

Crystal reports 2013 , SAP MDX Driver not able to connect with BW BEX Query

Hi All,
We just installed Crystal 2013, and want to create crystal report on SAP BW CUBE/BEX Query through SAP MDX Driver.
1.When start connecting through SAP MDX Query option from new connection , SAP Systems which are in SAPLOGON are not appearing in initial screen. where as from OLAP Connection we are able to connect to SAP BEX Query.
2.Even from SAP Tool kit we are not able to connect to BEX query, we are getting ERROR MESSAGE.
and we are using SAP BI BO PLATFORM 4.1 sp01 .
Please suggest me , if I am missing any configuration settings.
Regards,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Before you start building the report, make sure the right transports have been loaded on the SAP System. The right Transport files are the ones found inside the installation zip you download from SAP's server. They're under the "Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports" folder.
For more info on Transports, authorizations etc, please have your BASIS admin go through this wiki:
Crystal Reports 2008 and BW - Installation and Configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
To resolve your first issue, please follow the steps from this thread:
Problems with SAPLogon.ini for SAP GUI and Crystal 2011
P.S: Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 does a better job at handling BEx queries that the CR 2013 designer. It directly connects to BEx queries via the BICS connectivity driver and doesn't need the Transports to be there on the SAP System. You might want to give this flavour of CR a try too.

Re: BI BEx query in Portal

Hi All,
My user wants me to develop a report which to be displayed in portal.
Kindly tell me what all the ways I can achieve this.
Few questions,
1. There is an option available in BEx query Designer publish to portal. How to use this. what will happen if i click that. where it will go. how to assign this to the portal user role.
2. how to create an iview in portal for existing bi query?
3. Iview, if i am creating an iview in portal using bi query. how to publish that to the user.
Pls give me a complete picture on the above needs.
Regards,
Anand.

Hi,
If you have BEx poratl already available then there is no issue.
When you will click on that it will ask for iView creation and folder name then select the appropprite one. Just continue with that.
You need to have proper authorization for that.
You may refer following document for the same.

0ANSALARY problem - BEx Query

Hi All,
I have a BEx Query which Uses 0EMPLOYEE & its attributes. 0ANSALARY is one of the attributes that Iam using in the Query. I have created a Role and assigned a Test User and this Query to the role.
The 0ANSALARY appears as ANSALARY in the query when I open it with the Test User's ID, but it appears normal when I open it with my ID. System says that the Query is syntactically correct too. When I execute the Query from the Test User's ID the 0ANSALARY does not get displayed at all in the result. It looks fine when I run the query with my ID.
what could be the problem for this strange behaviour and where should I look to resolve this problem? Please let me know.
Regards,
-Ravi

Hi, I have this in the Rows (the Query does not have colums as I have merged them). And, I have not used any Template to design the Role.
Any ideas?

Creating Restrictions in BEx query designer for (1-a), where a is variable.

Dear All,
>> Suppose for the variable in the BEx query designer, I've created restriction for 0FISCPER to the variable 0P_PER (as 0P_PER-1) by right clicking 0P_PER3, from that a dialog box appears. In that I've selected 0P_PER3 and then clicked on offset variable and when I set the offset variable, it works for (0P_PER-1.etc, 0P_PER+1,etc..)
But if I want to have (1-0P_PER), then plz tell me how to define this restriction?
Plz explain me the steps to perform (1-0P_PER) restriction in BEx query designer in BW1.
I'm using SAP BI 7.2 gui.
Expecting your reply soon,
with Regards,
Jerald

My requirement is that I want to have " 1-fiscal year"., But this I could not define using offset variables, since using offset we can define "fiscal year +1" or "fiscal year -1".
So there would be some other way to define "1-fiscalyear". So Please help me to define "1-fiscalyear" by giving me the steps.
Thank you,
