Inserting WEBI into Live Office with Bex query

I have created a WEBI connected directly to a Bex query in BI 4.0. When I refresh the WEBI, I am prompted with the Bex variable and the data is refreshed correctly. I added that WEBI to Live Office, but it does not prompt me with the Bex variable. I only get the data that was last saved in the WEBI. Is there anything special I have to do to get the Bex variable to prompt me in Live Office 4.0?

Hi,
Some additional info: It seems .unx is not fully supported with LiveOffice 4.0 - an enhancement has been registered on Ideas Place: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/3578
I have also seen it that WEBI on BICS never pulls the prompts (SAP Variables) through into Live Office. There is a documentation fix in process to explicitly mention this limitation.

List of values is not displayed in web inteligence report

I created a web inteligence report and put into my favourite folder. The report consist of a selectable list of values in a prompt but it does not appear in my favourites folder.
The users with administrator rights that copied this report into their own favourites folder are able to see the list of values in the prompt.
It seemed that the list of values does not display in the prompt when non administrator rights opened this report in their own favourites folder.
Anyone can figure out how to set the access rights so that non administrator can see the list of values when the web inteligence report is opened in their own folder.
I am using Business Objects XI 3.1 ..

LIST OF VALUES not Populating in BPS WEB INTERFACE ( LAYOUTS )

Hi BI Guru's
I have created a WEB interface for BPS in BI ( version 7.0) . But when i execute this in internet explorer, I do not get the LIST OF VALUES for Material.
When I click on "input help" the system open a new window for "Value selection". When I specify the material code, it gives me blank LIST OF VALUES.
But it is working for other fields like Customer, UOM in the same layout.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,

Webi reports based on the BW query that sits on top of BW Infoset

Hi everyone,
I do can create the BW OLAP connection on BW Infosets, but when I use the Bex Query and try to create the report, when I launch the report in Webi, it doesn't return any values, but when I launch the Bex Query itself, it does have data!
Any ideas why this happens?
I don't have any filters, it's a simple test query and test report.
Thanks!

Hi,
What's happens when testing the query in RSRT?
How about trace log analysis in ST05 and RSRT ?
What happens in the SOFA / MDA .log ? Any error there?

Output of BOBJ (Web Intelligence Reports) are twice BEx Query Result

Hi Experts,
Incase of first level of hierarchy, correct values (i.e same as BEx Query) are displayed in BOBJ reports . However on selecting two and more levels of Hierarchy, values,twice the corresponding BEx query values, are displayed in BOBJ reports .
For e.g.
For level one of hierarchy (one level of object from hierarchy ):
Actual Amount keyfigure value in BEx Query : 100
Actual Amount keyfigure Value in BOBJ Report : 100
For if we select two and more levels of Hierarchy, then we get following inconsistent values:
Actual Amount keyfigure value in BEx Query : 100
Actual Amount keyfigure Value in BOBJ Report : 200
We have implemented SP5 ,as suggested in SAP note 1373220 . However issue still persists...
Can you please suggest, how to resolve this issue?
Regards
Mohit

We had the issue close to your issue. Basically, Webi does a Cartesian product of the characteristics value and duplicate the number of rows. But when we add the key figure in the report, it was showing the correct result.
Not sure, why the Key figures are also duplicating in your case. Please try adding removing characteristics and see if that resolves your issue.

Webi 4.1 Report on BEx Query

Hi All,
I have created Webi report version 4.1 based on Bex query (BICS connection). This report have several tabs and some calculation in BEx using RKF, CKF, formula variable and virtual characteristics.
Report is signed off by client but now when I promoted Webi report to production from testing, report is running for long hours. After investigation it is found that query is going in infinite loop. When I created sample Webi report on same Bex query in production it is very quick.
If anyone have faced this issue please shed some light.
Thanks

Web Application: Can't Find BEx Query!

Hello -
I'm new to a company and I've been tasked with identifying the BEx queries that underlie the published web application reports that are accessed via our company's intranet site. I am able to identify the queries via the URL on a few of the published reports. However, there are a few reports that do not indicate the query name in the URL; these reports are located in a section referred to as "Embedded Reports" and are accessed by clicking on a hyper-link. Even after I click on the hyper-link and arrive at the web application report, I am still unable to identify the query name within the URL. Furthermore, the URL does not change when I click on the Hyper-link or even after I execute the report.
Does anyone have any insight into my issue? I have experience with web application reports however my experience is limited to the basics.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Okay, great, thanks for your help!
Here is the first URL:
http://mn01web03/lma/forms/Finance/BPS/BPS_links.html
>This URL has a link that says "All Reports" and when I click on it, I am prompted to login to BW-Production and then I am brought to the following URL:
http://sapp8100.adc.com:8080/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAzMCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sap/zfcst2/zfcst2.htm
>This is where I find a few links that include the BEx query in the URL as I would expect; and then there are the few other links that do not have a separate URL; even after I click on the report-link and I'm brought to a different web page, the URL does not change.
Does this help at all?

Designer is slow when generating a new universe based on a BEX query

Hi
When we generate a universe on the basis of a BEX query, so it may take up to 30 minutes before we have a universe.

Hi,
could you setup the tracing on the client with the Universe Designer and post a link that as the file for download ?
you can follow the note here for the tracing details:
Windows : Note 1260004
also make sure that the client is on the same fixpack level as the backend

Universe Designer not pulling Long Text from BEx Query / Info Object

In the BEx query on which my universe is built, all the characteristics display with Long Text. In each of the info objects (RSD1), the long text option is selected in the BEx properties. However, when the Universe builds, it pulls the short text for the names of the classes, dimensions, and details that get created. I don't want to have to manually change every line to the long text, so I would love to hear if there's some setting in the designer that is causing this to happen.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you!
AZ

Another interesting data point to add to this:
The long description is transfered for Key Figures, but not for Characteristics.

Behavior of BEx Query Attributes for webi on OLAP universe: Including 1 attr to Query!

My webi report is based on an OLAP universe (.unv) which is based on a BEx Query. I need an attribute field from an info object. But when I include that attribute in my BEx query in free characteristics pane…… Every single attribute in that info object comes over to the universe.
Is this the expected behavior?
How can I ensure only the attribute wanted comes over and not all the attributes of the info-object.
I am using BO 4.0SP4.

Attribute level restriction of an InfoObject is not possible in BEX Query and the same reflects in the Universe.
You can use attributes of an infoObject which you wanted on WEBI Report Level.

How To Guide : Impact of a BEx query change to universes and WebI document

Ever wondered about the impact of a BEx query change to your universes and Intelligence documents ? "If I change this, will I need to refresh the universe structure ? will my Web Intelligence documents break ?". This article aims at clarifying these questions for Web Intelligence documents that use OLAP Universe(s) based on BEx query(ies). More specifically, it clarifies which BEx query change does impact Universes and Web Intelligence documents and which one is transparent to them.
The first part of this article provides a summary table. The second part explains what to do to make the universe and Web Intelligence documents reflect the BEx query change. And finally, it covers each change scenario in details with more explanation and screen shots.

Hi Rajesh J Salecha,
What I understood is like :
You have two queries and both gives same results but one of the query having a parameter.
You have one report which is using query1. Now you want that report to be copied as Report2 and use Query2 instead of Query1.
If the this is the issue, then you copy Report1 as Report2 and go in Database and change the Data source location to Query2.
Hope this will help you. If my understanding is wrong then give us the work flow.
Thanks,

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

Bex Query Variable error in Webi and Crystal for Enterprise

Hi,
We just upgrade to BOBJ 4.1 SP2 and BW7.4 SP5
I am creating a webi report based on a BEx query. There is Variable on Period/Fiscal Year from BEX side(Mandatory prompt) when I try to create a Webi or Cyrstal for Enterprise report the below error pops up. Other Bex queries work correctly. Can it be the values in the variable the following values exist when execute from Bex i.e. 001.2012; Period 2013
Is the SAP Note : 1611185 relevant for 4.1 SP2
Error:

Thanks Henry! I was looking for this confirmation that it is a limitation of Webi and I'm not missing something.

It is not possible to set Authorization variables as mandatory. They are set to "optional" and cannot be changed (BEx limitation).
