BW Hierarchy in WebI report: strange behaviour

Hi experts,
I faced with an (apparently) strange WebI behaviour.
I'm working with SAP BW 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 SP 2.
I have a universe built on a BEx query and the BEx query is built on a multiprovider (with 2 infoCubes inside).
The universe maps a BW hierarchy (ex. H) along with other object (ex. A and B).
In WebI report all works fine if I got only hierarchy levels (in drill mode) and a measure.
Adding the A characteristic, A values seems to be mapped in the hierarchy characteristic while A values are empty.
Adding the B characteristic, both B and H are empty.
Removing hierarchy objects from the report, A and measure works fine.
B and measure works fine.
BEx query works fine.
Does anyone has ever faced with this kind of problem?
Any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

Hi,
There is a mechanism called "flattening" which transposes OLAP DataSet into an XML stream 'rowset' - this is part of the MDX interface of BW, and is most problematic.
the ultimate proof is to enable the MDA.log , capture the MDX SELECT statement, and Executing it in transaction MDXTEST in BW. There are 3 execution modes: multidim, flattening, xml - there has to be exact parity in the ouput between the 3 modes, otherwise you have a problem
You'll probably find that the query syntax Runs correctly, but perhaps the data problem is also seen in the BW back-end ?
Please check SAP Note 1446246 - MDX: Composite SAP Note for flattening API based on basXML
and ensure that you have the Related Corrections implemented

PS Report : Strange behaviour S_ALR_87013542 and CJI5

The bottom line total figure In CJI5 ("Val/CO Area") for All PO's assigned to a WBS and S_ALR_87013542 ("Commitments") on a WBS match exactly - in same period.
But strangely the bottom line total figure In CJI5 ("Plan val. Currency" ) DO NOT MATCH with the bottom line total figure of "Total" of S_ALR_87013542 . Infact the value is showing more in CJI5.
Can someone explain the reason for this behaviour.
Thank you.

Hii Ravi,
Thanks for your quick response....
I'm not using the valuated stock, and yes all the configuration already checked.
First, in the PO, we key the date and invoicing plan (depends on the termijn), If we want to do
invoice (MIRO), we need to do the unblocking the invoicing plan in the PO (invoice tab in po)
after that, create invoice reference to PO. if this steps are followed.. we still can see the outstanding amount of PO in the report. (_ALR_87013558 and CJI5).
If user didn't do the unblocking the invoicing plan in the PO,.. and directly do the invoice (MIRO)
reference to PO, Invoice still can be created.. However, we cannot see the outstanding amount of the
PO, if user do the invoice without unblocking the invoicing plan.
Please any advice wiil be helpful..
Best regards

Bex Hierarchy issue on Webi report

Hello Experts,
We are facing issues on use of Bex hierarchy in webi report,
Issue statement: We have webi report on bex query which have table and chart with input control on year and month to filter the report, table and chart uses hierarchy object to disply data. When we refresh report table and chart shows data with hierarchy on first level but once we check or uncheck any value from input control hierarchy in table and chart gets expanded and shows as flat structure. to get correct behaviour we have to collaps hierarchy.
Above behaviour happens for all report level filter like, block filter, drill filter, input control.
Please help me to know this is a bug or something wrong happened with development.

Priyank Bhayani

Hello Everyone,
I have got SAP note which states this is expected behaviour hence closing the discussion.

Webi Report : Drill Functionality not working properly

Hello Guru's,
I am working on Webintelligence Rich Client XI 3.1 FP 3.5.
I have created a hierarchy Country -> Region -> Location -> Customer and Sales Amount in my universe. I exported it to CMC and Created a Webi Report. I selected Country and Sales Amount only into the output screen and clicked on DRILL button in Webi Report and it showed me a line below Country which represents the drilldown is ON now.
When i clicked on Country, it drills to Region and when i select any region, it drills to location and then to customer. The objects which is drilled that we can see in the Report filter (in the toolbar). Now, if i want to change Country or Region or Location directly (rather then click on Up, Up and Up). So, i clicked on the objects available in the report filter (in the toolbar), it doesn't show me the other contries or Region or Location while i see the same functionality in the standard Webi report (Formatted Report for Drill) given by SAP. If i drill any dimension then it comes in the Report Filter tool bar then i can see all the values for that dimension in the Report Filter and i can change it any time.
What is the difference in that filters ? Do i have to make any settings ?
Please do the needful and let me know.

BW Hierarchy not coming up in my WEBI report

Hi Gurus,
I have created BW query with only 2 fields 1) 0PROJECT 2) 0WBS Element and a key fig 'No of records'. I activated the hierarchy on 0WBS. Then created universe on this query. WBS hier has 6 levels so i in universe, I got 6 dimensions with L00, L01...L06 and created my Webi report with following fields.
1) Project (dimension)
2) WBS L00 Dimension
3) WBS L01 Dimension
4) WBS L02 Dimension
5) WBS L03 Dimension
6) No of records - key fig
If I take only Project field and No of records, I can see no of rec with values. But when i executed the report with all WBS hier dimensions like L00, L01,.... i can see only project column is populated and all WBS L00, L01...etc and No of rec key fig are not populated at all.
I am new to this so am i missing anything here? We just now installed BO XI 3.1 SP3. May be some files are missing in installation?
Regards,
Rahul.

Here there are two ways to get out this (there's no problem with u r installation)
*1) if u are using webintelligence in bo , make sure that drill option(on top) to be enabled,*
*2) in universe, select the key figure (No of records) rightclick * No:ofrecords* -> object properties -> Properties tab Check Function is assigned to sum, if the option Database delegated is there just change that to sum. and apply, save and export the universe and check again

Prompt Hierarchy in BO WEBI Report

Hi,
currently we have to implement a functionality in BO WEBI report Prompt where Network and Equipment 2 prompt fields
are present.
User want if they select a Network then the Equipment that belong to that selected Network should shown in Drop Down Values
of Equipment Prompt.
This is a type of Prompt Hierarchy.
Source for the WEBi Report is BW Bex Query. and there is no Hierarchy maintained in Network and Equipment at Bex and
Bw system as well.
Please let me know how can i achieve this.
we are Using SAP-BI4.0 solution.
Regards
Atul

Hi Atul,
You can achieve this by dragging these two fields in the filter bar section of the webi. then apply variables on these fields.
hope it helps

Hierarchy Analysis Authorization in BW and BOBJ Webi Report

Hello,
We have a scenario wherein we have implemented Analysis Authorizations (Hierarchy) on Organizational Unit info object (0ORGUNIT) and need to report on BOBJ WEBI. Our scenario is as following
ORGUNIT    - L0 (Overall Enterprise Level)
-     L1 (Enterprise - Continent Wise Split)
-     L2 (Enterprise u2013 Country Wise Split)
-     L3(Enterprise u2013 City Wise Split)
E.G-
      LO (Company ABC) MANAGER 0 will have access to the entire organization
           -L1 (ASIA) MANAGER1 will have access to ASIAN Subcontinent
                  -L2 (India) MANAGER 2 will have Access to country India
                            -L3 (New Delhi) MANAGER 2.1 will have access to city Delhi
                            -L3 (Mumbai) MANAGER 2.2 will have access to city Mumbai
                   -L2 (Malaysia) MANAGER 3 will have access to Country Malaysia
                              -L3 (Kuala Lampur)
                              -L3 (pahang)
             - L1 (Europe)
                                        u2026..
The requirement is that the CEO of the company should be able to see the entire set of data ( L0-L4).We have continent managers who can see that data specific to their continent, similarly at L3 Level the city manageru2019s should see the data only for their specific city.
In BI we have used analysis authorization based on hierarchies. We have created an authorization object say ZAUTH1 and have assigned the hierarchy L0 from RSECADMIN. Now, in Webi when we create a report a sample row comes as :
L0 Org Unit     L1 Org Unit     L2 Org Unit     L3 Org Unit     SALES Key Figure
Company ABC     Asia          India          Mumbai          1000
Now, we have MANAGER 2.2 who has only access to the data specific to his city (Mumbai). There is an Analysis Authorization object created for him ZAUTH2, by ONLY assigning the org unit hierarchy L3 (for Mumbai). When we run the bex report with the user MANAGER 2.2 u2013 it correctly displays the result and the user is only able to see the data for L3 Org Unit (Mumbai). However when you bring this data to Webi u2013 the report comes in the below format:
L0 Org Unit     L1 Org Unit     L2 Org Unit     L3 Org Unit     SALES Key Figure
Mumbai                                           1000
The L3 org unit has now got assigned to L0 Org unit , as this is the only org unit assigned to the MANAGER 2.2 user .
In such a case we are not able to write any generic formulae for the report. Is there a way to correct this issue? u2018Mumbaiu2019 should either get assigned to the L3 OrgUnit column is webi report , or is there a workaround that is possible ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vj

Hi Vijay,
The problem you speak of is known and comes from the fact that the hierachy is flattened in the process of delivering it to WebI. Therefore there is no real 'solution' to the problem, just some work-arounds you can think of...
1)
Create a report variable that starts looking at the lowest level, if it is empty check one up, and so on until you found what you were looking for (the lowest leaf available), which by definition must be there (even if it is top level).
Using similar logic you can also get a 'number of levels avaible' and so fill in the complete tree (duplicating the highest level).
This is difficult to explain when end users create their own reports, though you could provide a template report with these variables in there already.
2)
Extend the hierarchy with duplicates below the lowest level.
So i.e. L0 Company - L1 Continent - L2 Country - L3 City- L4 City - L5 City- L6 City.
This will give back on the four levels for top authorization
L0 Company - L1 Continent - L2 Country - L3 City
For authorization on Continent:
L0 Continent - L1 Country - L2 City- L3 City
For autorization City
L0 City- L1 City - L2 City- L3 City
So in all situations the fourth level, the L3 Object will hold the City level.
This you can then use in your report.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Strange issues in WebI report on standard Universe on top of BW Query

Hello,
We have a BW query with a standard Universe on top of it (generated automatically via the connection in universe designer).
However, very strange things happen when playing with the data in WebI.
There are some characteristics and just one key figure (which is just 'number of records').
- key figures just disappear when adding characteristics
- the wrong assignment is made from the infoobject to a dimension in webi when combining several characteristics in the WebI report (for example the 'customer' field holds the 'date' and the 'date' field is empty.
I think it has something to do with BO that starts from the text of an infoobject instead of from the key.
Also I constantly have to refresh the data when adding fields to the report.
Did anybody have similar issues? How did you solve them?
I also tried 'restructuring' the universe by deleting everything that's less relevant for the report, and taking the longest available text as dimension with key of the info object as detail and this seemed to work a lot better. However we shouldn't have to restructure a universe that's generated from a query?
Thanks,
Tom

We had a the same thing. Assuming it is the same cause, it is a known issue. SAP had us install two Notes on BW and the problem disappeared.. Evidently it has to do with an MDX generation problem. See response below and do some investigation.
This is a known issue.
Here are the notes that fix this issue. The second note has two composite notes in it that will need to be applied as well if they still have problems after they install the first two.
There are some items that are broken in SP6. You'll notice that SAP note 1404328 is already in SP6. You'll still need to install it again along with the second SAP note 1420169
Please install both of these and try your work flow again. If it's still not working, then you'll need to go through the composite notes in the second SAP note 1420169.

Hierarchy node text shows short text instead of medium text in WebI report

Hi,
We have created a simple Hierarchy suing Tx RSH1.
US -> North Carolina
South Carolinakey
Rest of America
Please note "North Carolina" is the medium text for the node while the short text which can contain max of 10 chars is "North Caro"
We have used and activated the hierarchy within the BEx query. Text display with "Medium Text" has been enabled for the InfoObject. The display on the BW report is as expected showing the medium text for all levels and all modes.
When a universe is built on the query and a WebI report is created based on the universe everything works fine other than than the Hierarchy text for different levels and nodes. Instead of showing the Medium text, the short text is getting display.
We took out the text object from the Universe in the Universe designer and went ahead with the key and medium text, but that did not help.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround for this issue?
We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
Rgds

Hi,
I am working on BO XI 3.1 SP2.
I have displayed the medium text for the hierarchy nodes as:
In my universe three detail objects(key, medium name and long name) gets generated for each hierarchy node.
I have copied the definition of L01 Medium name (detail object) in the L01 dimension object. similarly for other hierarchy nodes.
i.e. L02, L03.. etc.
Now the master data which have been loaded for the medium name will be displayed.

Display of Hierarchy Nodes as Medium Text in Web Report

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know how to display the hierarchy nodes as medium text instead of short text (default) in web report?
I know it is possible to change the display setting directly (by right clicking on hierarchy node > properties) from the web report.
However, I would love to know if there is any other way to change the settings such as through Query designer or Hierarchy maintenance in SAP GUI so that users do not need to change the display settings every time they view the web report.
Your help is kindly appreciated.

Thank you Shabar for you quick reply.
What if a Hierarchy is created under an InfoObject? How can I change the Text view of each name of the Hierarchy nodes?
In Query Designer, I tried to change the Text View to Long but it only affects the text of the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
I tried the 2nd suggestion too. I only can find the BEx description for the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
It would be great if anyone could tell me how to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Strange characters in WEBI report

Hi,
When I run a WEBI report, i see strange characters in the cells. Pls refer to attached screen shot. The output is sometimes displaying correctly and sometimes not.
I run the query generated by WEBI at the backend, I get the correct results.
I tried to create a separate report with some of the columns. Even then I get these strange characters.
Please let me know if you have anything solution on this.
I use
BOXI R3.1 SP5
Cheers
Shreyas

Hi Shreyas,
I was interested to see the database output so that I can see what values are coming to report.
Does the report contain some accentuated characters like Ö,É,ć etc. or some other characters.
As the issue is not coming with Deski and WRC then it could be an issue with the application server.
Which application do you use? IIS or Tomcat or some other server?
Sometimes, the application servers do not support UTF-8 encoding. In case of Tomcat, you can check the server.xml file. You can check knowledge base article on SAP portal.
Also check if the desired font is added in fontalias.xml.

Yuvraj

Strange issue in Webi Reports

Hi,
I have a Webi Report created on SAP BW Hierarchy Query -- BW 7.01 SP05 and this report is working fine.
Then i have imported this report to another BO system having the same version BOE XI 3.1 SP1. But after import the Webi report
is not working when we refresh in new system and getting the following error:
"A database error occurred. The database error test is: An error has occurred. No further information AVAILABLE basis. (Wis 10901)"
I have recreated the same report in new BO system but the error is same. I have implemented the Notes 1441767,1432162, and 1438091 in BW system to solve the issue but no use.
Can any one help me how to solve this issue?
Best Regards
Raju.k

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for the reply. For both the reports the underlying BW system is same.
I found out a Note "1420169" which helped me to solve this issue. The values in the collumns are behaving differently each time.
one time it will give wrong values some times it will not fill with values etc..
Finaly after aplying the above note issue got solved.
Best Regards
