Creation of Universe based on Hana OLAP connection

I have to create a universe in IDT 4.1 sp2 based on SAP HANA OLAP
connection ?
How can i access SAP HANA view which was created using OLAP connection in Business objects Explorer? It does not allow creating Universe on top of SAP HANA OLAP connection and gives an error
SAP Business Objects query and reporting applications can directly connect to OLAP SAP HANA connections. No universe is required, only a published OLAP SAP HANA connection.
Thanks

Universe based on SAP HANA OLAP connection

Can I create universe based on SAP HANA OLAP connection ?
How can i access SAP HANA view which was created using OLAP connection in WEBI and Dashboard? It does not allow creating Universe on top of SAP HANA OLAP connection and give an error.

OLAP connection are only meant for tools that make use of OLAP connectivity only like BEx ..and HANA analytic views and calculated views are also treated as OLAP cubes for them..
So these connection is only available with analysis product like Analysis Office (which is meant to be used with Bex or OLAP cubes ) and Design studio which is again mainly built around OLAP paradigm..
You can not create a universe or Webi on Olap connection on HANA as of now.. However it could be like exposed in a future release of BO which is not public yet...

HANA OLAP Connection

Hi All,
I created a OLAP connection to HANA in Business Objects 4.1 SP3 environment through IDT. But I do not see that connection in Business Objects Explorer. I see only the Relational connection to HANA in Explorer. Please let me know if there are any configurations required for it and also which all applications support HANA OLAP connections.

How to build a WEBI query on a SAP NANA OLAP connection?

hi fellows,
we all know that a relational connection can be built to SAP HANA database, and we build data foundation, biz layer to publish it to the repository, so that we can create a WEBI report based on a query to visit the universe.
However, does anybody know how to create a WEBI query on a SAP HANA OLAP connection? Since we don't need to build any data foundation on it.
I created a sap hana olap connection, but failed to find anywhere to publish it? Can anybody help?
thanks,
Jennifer

Ranking on an olap connection

Hello guys,
I'm using DS 1.3 OVER BI 4.1 SP3.
My model was universe-based until now.
Inside query specifications on universe, I was able to set TOP 10.
Now, I've advanced into OLAP over HANA, and I can't find a solution to TOP 10 (not even a dynamic ranking) on my Datasource.
Any simple solution for setting a constant ranking on a datasource which is HANA-OLAP-connection?
(And if we're at it, is there a solution for a dynamic ranking also? (plan for the future:))
Thank you,
Or.

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for the reference, but It's not the right solution for me because I'm using graphical Calculation View.
From your link I somehow got into this link:
SAP HANA: Implementing RANK using Graphical calculation View
If I had "RANK" column it'll be simple actually as a Variable inside HANA,
but I have to say that this guide for creating a "rank" column is way-too complicated to replace the good-old TOP N inside SQL or other tools.
Do you know of any simpler way inside HANA, maybe in newer versions, of creating a RANK?
Thank you,
Or

No Authorization to OLAP Cubes during the creation of universe connection

Hello friends we are not able to see the OLAP Cubes during the creation of universe connection using the Quality system and Application server "sapbmw01" client 100, system # 00. But we are able to set up the connection in our development system.
I will highly appreciate if you can let me know if we need some special role to access the OLAP Cubes during the creation of universe connection using the Q system.
Surprisingly we are using SAP_BW_ALL in Quality system still we are not able to access the infocubes. is there some thing missing in CMS IN BO to make that work.
Thanks
Soniya

Universe creation against SAP Cubes/Queries with same connection

Hello,
I am creating universe against the connection for SAP BW system, once I have created a connection and selected a cube or query and built a universe on top of it....If I go back and create a new universe and this time change the connection to point towards a new cube/query the old universe stops working.
Is it a limitation for SAP database where we need to have a new connection setup for each universe...or is there a different way to use same connection pointing towards different cubes/queries for different universes.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi
when you build a universe based on the connection and want to use the universe with reports you can not change the underlying connection because then your universe will not work anymore.
You can have multiple universe on a single connection.

Using OLAP Connection for SAP BW based on authentication type Prompt

We try to use an OLAP Connection based on authentication type Prompt. This should cause a dialog to popup where the user can enter credentials for SAP BW. This works fine for Analysis for OLAP, but not in Web Intelligence and Design Studio.
In design studio the following message appears:
failed to connect to "BA1CLNT100"
Configuration of destination
customized_guid:FnTHdVPWmQ4AMLQAAD4XL4cAAFBWmWVp is incomplete:
Parameter user id missing: neither user nor user alias nor sso ticket nor certificate is specified.
Does anyone know if this feature is supported and what causes this error?

Hi,
Can you check the option "Disallow insecure incoming RFC connections" from CMC >> SAP Authentication and see if it helps.

OLAP Universes - Based on BEx Query - Month and Previous Month Functions

Hi,
I created a Universe based on SAP BEx queries and I like to create a filter so that I use in Web Intelligence report to run for "Previous Month" data always. There are "Date" filelds in BEx Query(No Month info only date data). I have no knowledge of SAP BEx Queries and new to OLAP universes. Could you help.
How to create filter that show Previous Month.
Nanda Kishore
Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Dec 26, 2010 6:15 AM

The easiest way (but NOT the most efficient one) is to create a local variable (Dimension) in your report with the following code:
=if (Month(CurrentDate())=1 AND Month([[MyDate]])=12 AND Year([[MyDate]])=(Year(CurrentDate())-1)) OR (Month(CurrentDate())>1 AND Month([[MyDate]])=(Month(CurrentDate())-1)) then 1 else 0
where MyDate is the field from your query containing the data information
Activate the report filter area in your report design panel by pressing the Report filter icon and drag and drop your variable there and apply it to the entire report. Filter value 1 and you will get the data for the previous month.
Keep in mind that this approach is not optimal especially if you do have many rows of data delivered to your WebI report because filtering takes place only AFTER the data is retrieved. The Best practice here is to work with BEx variables.
How many rows of data does your WebI report normally fetches?

Olap Universe Based on BEx Query - Cascading Prompt

I need to get two prompts: 1) Division 2) Group. Division has to be selected first and then Group. I understand I have to create cascading prompt. In the universe, in default hierarchy, group stands before before division. I have created a custon hierarchy like: Division, Group. I used Tools -> List of Values ->Create cascading list of values and then selected the right dimensions and then clicked on Generate LOVs. Then I have exported it to the repository. But I cannot see any reflection at the report level. So, some questions came in my mind:
1) Where can I check in the universe whether my cascading prompt has been created or not ?
2) I am using L01 Dimension. But underneath, there are two dimensions called LovDivision and LoVDivisionBase which are in Italic. I believe integration kit creates this. It is the same as Group. So, my question is: Am I selecting the right dimesnsions ? Or, should I select those in Italic.
3) Actually, these two prompts (variables) [along with others] are already created in BEx which I can see in my report. My plan is, if my cascading prompts work, I will tell the BW developer to remove those two. Do you think that these existing prompts are creating any problem.
I would really appreciate your response.

Hi
1) Where can I check in the universe whether my cascading prompt has been created or not ?
Have you entered the cascading object in the webi query condition.At the run time it will generate hierarchy in the tree structure.
2) I am using L01 Dimension. But underneath, there are two dimensions called LovDivision and LoVDivisionBase which are in Italic. I believe integration kit creates this. It is the same as Group. So, my question is: Am I selecting the right dimensions ? Or, should I select those in Italic.
correct you are using right objects L01.By mdx driver it will create by default L00 and L01 objects.neglect the Lo00 objects.You can hide them in the universe or go to refresh structure and their is option to replace L00 definition with some other definition.
3) Actually, these two prompts (variables) along with others are already created in BEx which I can see in my report. My plan is, if my cascading prompts work, I will tell the BW developer to remove those two. Do you think that these existing prompts are creating any problem.
By default when you are creating universe based on the mdx drivers it will convert Bex query filters in the universe condition as mandatory filter and applied on the full universe.
You can go to the universe condition and open the condition and unchecked the option from their and after that these will not prompt in the webi query.

OLAP connection in CMS in java sdk for BO 4.1

Hi,
How do I create an OLAP connection using .java ?
provider is SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse ... BW 7.x...based on BEx query.
What all jar files are needed ?
Authentication is LDAP.
I am new to sdk and OLAP creations.
It would be great if I get code snippet as well.
Is this possible ? if not possible in java then is it possible in .net?
I have already asked in .NET sdk but wanted to ask in java as well
Updated:
I missed to mention main requirement:
We are working on BO SAP Analysis tool that uses olap connections created in BO CMS based on BEX query in BW.
The connections created are used to run SAP Analysis on Excel tool.
The challenges is that we have 100 plus connections and many be time consuming also we have to migrate connections across regions.
Plan was to automate its creation thru any SDK/RestFul approach .
The first thing that came to my mind to automate its creation in CMC using .NET just as I was able to create a folder using plugin manager .
Thanks,
Regards,
Pramod.

So, this is really hackish, but it seems to work for me. Apparently there are different versions of the ConnectionServer.jar file in this distribution and I would guess that something is wrong with the build.
The file at C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Information Design Tool\plugins\com.businessobjects.connectionserver.jar is obviously used for IDT and is missing the CancelSupportLevel inner class.
The file at C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib\ConnectionServer.jar has this inner class, but I tried replacing the jar above with this one and then IDT exploded on start-up. So, I just added the compiled class file for the inner class PropertySet.CancelSupportLevel to the first JAR. This file is inside the second JAR in the com\businessobjects\connectionserver\ exploded folder. I used 7zip to do all this.
Now I can test the connection and view the parameters of the connection.
Hope this works for you.

Steps to create a Universe based on Bex query

HI Gurus,
I am (first time ofcourse) creating a Universe based on a Bex Query. I searched on SDN to find steps to craete a universe on top of Bex query and found a document written by tej Trivedi and found other threads also which explains all the steps.
I understood from his document that in case of OLAP Universes the Structure pan would be empty. And I will not see joins etc..Is that true?
How can I make sure that I will see data?
Regards

Hi,
I believe this is a cross post from here Re: BEX Query Objects dont show in Universe ?
So i will put my answer again:
Hi,
If you can select your BEx query, but the 'universe outline' in the webi query panel stays blank (i.e no available objects in the webi query panel) then you don't have enough rights (authorizations) on the BW -side.
to prove it, try using a sap_all profile in the universe connection .
regards,
H
p.s. there is a large section on the required authorizations in the Admin guide. Also a note covers it : Note 1585948 - No objects are visible in the query panel when creating a report using Interactive Analysis or BI Launchpad

-The Universe Items -> Sight -> Universe Window and -> Sight -> Liste Mode are greyed our
- Its simply not possible to move Universe "Objects" = "Classes" into the Table, Join or
Item Plane.
I am useing:
-BO XI 3.1
-BO Solutions for SAP Integration
-Universe Designer
Universe Designer based on a Database is ok
The Connection to the SAP System is stored in BO XI 3.1
What's missing ?
Any Rights/Authorizations are Misseing ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi
when working with OLAP universes (eg. universes based on SAP BW queries) it is not possible to work as you normally do when you have a universe based on a relational data source. The data madel is the one from the OLAP source (cube) so it is not possible to create your on joins, tables etc. In this case you can only add/modify the objects in the object browser (left panel).
Regards,
Stratos
PS: The Data Federator will allo you to create relational universes on an SAP BW source. Still this is a product that must be licensed seperately and currently does not support SAP logon ticket-based SSO.

SSO to SAP works but no OLAP Connection per SSO Auth

Hi experts,
we have setup an SSO for the Authentication of SAP BW and SAP BO and used the portal integration. We are using SAP BO 4.1 SP4 and SAP BW 7.4.
We use the Login via Netweaver Portal go then to the SAP BO where the reports are stored.
The SSO login works fine, but the OLAP connection to the SAP BW system does not fly. I have tried to create a connection via IDT. This works.
After that I created a WebI report in the Applet and chose BEx Connection and retreived the error:
error.openSapBwBrowsingSessionFailed
Then i tried the WebI Rhich Client and recieved the message: Unknown Error in SL Service and Even do not recieve the list of possible Bex connections.
We are using SNC for the user authentication in SAP BW.
An now it is getting very unnormal:
When i go the IDT tool and create the connection again and republish this to the repository and try to connect again via WebI Applet, i do not get the error message again.
Can you please assist, as our Business user can not publish their OLAP connection.
Regards,
Markus

The new Business Objects version (BI 4.0) comes with a new authentication
technology to create a trust relationship between a non-SAP user and the SAP
data source. How to determine the correct method to be used?
When using legacy .unv universes (XI 3.1 technology) = SNC
When using .unx environments (BI 4.0 new semantic layer) = STS
when you try to connet BICS connection or IDT it is important to use the STS methodology.
check the below link to have configurations.
Follows a Wiki link with a "How to setup SSO against SAP BW in SBO BI4.0 for LDAP users". and follow the raunak kumar suggestion when you configire SNC and STS.

Can not create Webi report on a Universe based on Bex Query

Hi,
We are using BO XI 3.1 (FP 3.4) with SAP integration Kit (same Patch Level) with SAP Authentication. We have a Universe based on a bex query and its connection is set to use SSO.
We have say two SAP users U1 & U2. Now "U1" is able to create webi reports but when we Logged in as "U2" and try to create Webi reports or try to refresh reports created by U1 it through an error ...
The database error text is: (CS) "Error on NumResultCols" . (WIS 10901).....
As per the "Authorization" section in BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solution Installation Guide we have provided this users with all the mention autherizations.
Any words over this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,

It is highly probable that this is due to missing authorizations on the SAP BW side (not talking about the authroizations which are directly related to the BO/BW integration). I would recommend to ask your SAP Basis team to do a security trace while you are accessing the reports with the user, who gets the error. THey should look for failing authorization checks.

Stratos
