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.
Regards,
Abhijit

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.
SAP BusinessObjects query and reporting applications can directly connect to OLAP SAP HANA connections. No universe is required, only a published OLAP SAP HANA connection.

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...

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

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.

Unable to create Business Layer on top of SAP BW OLAP Connection - BI 4.0

Friends,
Need an useful information, why can't we create a business layer on top of SAP BW OLAP connection which is built with BICS driver.
Today when i tried to create a business layer in IDT tool of BI 4.0 it didnt allow me to do so. Is it a s/w bug or am i following a wrong approach. I do know, we can create a .unx universe through relational connection. But i dont want that, please provide your input.
thanks,
Tilak

Hi,
this question has been asked many times before, so a search will reveal your answer.
as the warning told you when you tried the workflow in IDT - business layers aren't supported for Bics connections - i.e. you can't create a UNX ontop of Bex using BICS..
unfrotunately, it was a strategic product decision that seemingly can't be reversed/influenced, despite the inherent problems this causes.
There are lots of requests for this feature to be restored, on the Ideas Place here: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/community/ideas/businessanalytics/sbosemanticlayer

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 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,

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.

Unable to create Business Foundation Layer in XI4 IDT using OLAP connection

Hi,
I have created a BICS connection against an SAP BW cube and want to use this connection in order to build a Business Layer in XI4 Information Design Tool. When I try to map this connection to the business layer, it errors out "Error occurred during connection selection - Connection is not supported".
I'm currently using BO XI4 SP1 and SAP BI NW Eh1 SP6.
Can anyone throw some light on how to create a Business Layer/Universe against an SAP BW cube?
Also, can we query ECC systems using the new semantic layer in XI4 from WebI?
Thanks in advance.
Abhi

Hi,
I'm getting the same error. Did you already solve the problem?
Kind regards,
Eric
Edit:
Hi,
i found this in another thread:
[Information Design Tool and SAP BICS|Information Design Tool and SAP BICS;
Seems like SAP doesn't want to enable Universes on OLAP-Connections?!

Unable to access cube in OLAP Connection Browser using xtreme.mdb

Post Author: moontube
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello Blair,
Thank you for posting the xtreme.mdb sample database and associated reports on the Business Objects Web site. In addition to the xtreme.mdb database, you posted an OLAP cube named Sales Reports.cub. I am having a problem with this, using Crystal Reports 2008. I am able to connect to Sales Reports.cub as a local cube and when I click the Test Connction button on the Connection Properties dialog box, a dialog box appears telling me that I have succeeded in connecting. However, when I click OK to dismiss that box and return to the Connection Properties dialog box, the OK button is grayed out. I connot proceed. My cube does not appear in the tree in the OLAP Connection Browser. I would appreciate any help you or anyone else can give me to get me beyond this problem.

Before trying to use this URL in OBIEE to import cubes, try this in Internet Explorer.
Follow the following steps:
a. Run this URL in Internet Explorer
b. You should get an output like this:
+
- <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
- <soap:Body>
- <soap:Fault xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<faultcode>XMLAnalysisError.0xc10e0002</faultcode>
<faultstring>Parser: The syntax for 'GET' is incorrect.</faultstring>
- <detail>
<Error ErrorCode="3238920194" Description="Parser: The syntax for 'GET' is incorrect." Source="Unknown" HelpFile="" />
</detail>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

c. If yes, this proves that the virtual directory in IIS has been configured properly. If you get any other message, for example "Page cannot be displayed" or "Page not found", it means there are some issues with Virtual directory.
Try this and let me know the results...and then we can proceed further

MS SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) OLAP Connection - Dimension descriptions

Hello,
We are trying to create some reports on BO 4.0 on top of BPC 10 MS information.
In order to overcome some issues related to standard connector between BO and BPC (XMLA Planning and consolidation 10 for Microsoft platform), we created a new connection based on discussion MS SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) OLAP Connection - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
However we have a major issue with this approach. We cannot see on BO dimension member descriptions.
Is there anything that we missed?
Could you help?

Vitor Ramalho

Bill,
So, what you need is a model like SQL Server failover cluster instances. (before sql server 2012)
In SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn replaces SQL Server failover cluster, and it has been seperated to
AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server) and
AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
Since your requirement is not in database level, I think the best option is to use AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server).
As part of the SQL Server AlwaysOn offering, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances leverages Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) functionality to provide local high availability through redundancy at the server-instance level—a
failover cluster instance (FCI). An FCI is a single instance of SQL Server that is installed across Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) nodes and, possibly, across multiple subnets. On the network, an FCI appears to be an instance of SQL
Server running on a single computer, but the FCI provides failover from one WSFC node to another if the current node becomes unavailable.
It is similar to SQL Server failover cluster in SQL 2008 R2 and before.
Please refer to these references:
Failover Clustering in Analysis Services
Installing a SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster

EVDESCRIPTION from BPC OLAP Connection

Hello All
We have an OLAP connection to IDT in BI4 for BPC MS 7.5
We had a problem getting the EVDESCRIPTION variable to show when creating WEBI reports so we created a measure for the account Dimension, which works a treat.
<EXPRESSION>[Account].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("EVDESCRIPTION")<EXPRESSION>
Although when we try to use the measure for a Hierachy dimension like our Legalentity dim which has three Hierarchies(H1,H2,H3) we get no results from the query in WEBI.
We did change the Syntax to read as follows
<EXPRESSION>[LegalEntity].[H1].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("EVDESCRIPTION")<EXPRESSION>
Although we get the desired results when running the query in SSAS we get a 0 when we use the measure in WEBI.
Hope some experts have an idea of what we can do the change our code or what we are doing wrong?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Perven

Hello
We have got passed this issue by creating it as a measure and using it in the query for the dimension.
We created the measure with the expression "[dim].currentmember.properties("EVDESCRIPTION")".
Works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Perven
