Modifying existing webi report BO 4.0

Hi Experts,
In pre-production system I executed webi report, went to Design mode --> Drag & drop a new object to the report. Then by mistake clicked on Save  instead of "save As" This made changes to the original report.
I have below doubts, pls clarify.
1.) Will this affect the OLAP connection between report & data source?
2.) Do I need to made any connection again for this report somewhere?
3.) Will this affect the original report in production in any manner?
Thanks.

1.) Will this affect the OLAP connection between report & data source?
Since the changes were made only to the WebI report, there won't be any impact on the Connection.
2.) Do I need to make any connection again for this report somewhere?
Not needed. As mentioned before there will be no impact on the Connection.
3.) Will this affect the original report in production in any manner?
It will only impact if you migrate the report to Production. Revert back the changes in Pre-Prod box if it is small change else just ask the Admin team to do a reverse migration from Prod to Pre-Prod Box

  • Applying a filter to an existing webi report without requerying

    Hi,
    I'm trying to apply a filter to a webi report using the Report Engine Java SDK.  Here's a snippet of my code:
        DataProviders dataProviders = doc.getDataProviders();
        DataProvider dataProvider = dataProviders.getItem(0);
        Query queryObj = dataProvider.getQuery();
        ConditionContainer cc = queryObj.getCondition();
        if (cc == null) {
            cc = queryObj.createCondition(LogicalOperator.AND);
        ConditionObject co = cc.createConditionObject(filterObject);
        FilterCondition fc = co.createFilterCondition(Operator.EQUAL);
        FilterConditionConstant fcc = fc.createFilterConditionConstant(filterValue);
        dataProvider.runQuery();
    But my problem with this code is that it needs to query the data provider to refresh the report.  And it has to requery the data provider each time I want to apply a different filter value like in the case of report bursting.  Is it possible to apply a filter to the webi report without requerying the data provider?
    Many thanks to anyone who could help.

    HI Elijah,
    I need a bit of clarification here.  Are you seeing the actual query being run against the database each time, or are you referring to having to retrieve the query from the dataprovider each time?
    If you are actually seeing the query being run - then that is something that should be investigated, however with regards to just retrieving the query from the dataprovider - yes you do need to do that in order to apply a filter.
    Thanks

  • Modifying Existing Web Gallery

    How to I add or delete images from a web gallery which I have already published using the web module?

    Lightroom doesn't seem to get rid of unused files on your existing site when you republish.  To take care of this problem getting out of hand I sometimes use an FTP client to erase ALL the files for the website off the server and then republish with Lightroom for a clean site.

  • Modify Webi Report causes Java Plug-In Fatal Error

    Environment: BOXIR2 SP3   Windows XP  
    Java loaded:  Java 1.6.0_07  +  JRE 1.4.2_04  +  JInitiator 1.3.1.24
    Hi,
    I have been happily developing Webi reports on my PC for several years and to my knowledge, I have not upgraded my Java software even when I get prompted by Java that updates are available as I know how problematic upgrading can be if it is not supported by BO.
    I am suddenly getting a Java Plug-In Fatal Error every time I try to modify a Webi report with the message " The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded".
    We have uninstalled Java and re-installed the same Java versions but stil the same problem.
    Any help appreciated.
    Best Regards

    Hi Ben
    I remember having some issues running Java 1.6.0_xx on BOXI R2 and made sure we were on Java 1.4.2_xx.
    Another thing you might want to try before uninstalling is to clear the Java cache, it can be found under...
    local install drive\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache
    If you also haven't already done so, I'd reload the current Java version (after your uninstall) directly from the server by trying to create or modify a new WEBI report.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Drill function implemented on Measure object column in the webi report

    Post Author: madan kumar
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Hi,
    I have a small issue in my project.(Maintenance Project)I created a measure object in the fact table of the existing universe and saved and exported to the repository. (Say Measure object is D where D = A-(B+C))I inserted the same object as a column between two measure objects columns of a existing WebI report.
    The report has two hierarchies involved  - each hierarchy has dimension objects involved.I have checked with the hierarchies to make sure that measure object is not involved.The scope of analysis is None for the query.Version is BO XI R2.
    The issue is the Drill function is implemented on that particular new column.The drill function should be applicable only to the two dimension objects involved in the report.But this measure object column is also getting drilled once the Drill option is selected.I had to remove the drill optiion from the Measure object column.
    Can anyone help me on this issue...
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for your reply. I did the date diff on the columns. It does not  break into 3 different groups. I am using a function called previous on the date column. So the report is like this
        DATE                           Pervious (DATE)                 Date - Pervious(DATE)
    01-01-2008 01:06              Null                                
    01-01-2008 01:12              01-01-2008 01:06               :06
    01-01-2008 01:18              01-01-2008 01:12               :06
    01-01-2008 01:24              01-01-2008 01:18               :06
    01-01-2008 01:30             01-01-2008 01:24              :06
    01-01-2008 01:36             01-01-2008 01:30               :06
    Basically we are breaking on the Date - Previous ( Date) column which does not work. I am not sure if there is a way to break this. I even tried it in Crystal REports XI and it does not work their either. Any help with this issue with be greatly appriciated.

    Is there any limitations for using Java update 14 or am I required to do any other settings.
    Regards,
    Pankaj

    Hi Pankaj,
    It is a strange behavior. You also stated that when you create a test report it works fine.
    Can you create a copy of this report and then try on the new copy?
    One thing you can do as a test to refresh the universe and then try it. And change some columns - add some column and then save and ten remove and save and make changes like this and trying changing color.
    I think there is a problem with this report this is why it is behaving like this on all machine.

  • BO3.1 to BO4DeskI to WebI report conversion using RCT (2 database)

    Hello,
    I have to convert reports from BO 3.1 to BO 4.0 version.
    I have a DeskI report which has 2 Freehand SQL and both are pointing to different databases.
    So my questions are:
    1. Is it possible to convert DeskI report which uses multiple databases?
    2. RCT will convert these SQL and generate different universes for both databases?
    Do we have any other suitable approach to convert DeskI reports which uses multiple db?

    Hi
    1. yes, it is.
    2. I think for this you need to follow below steps:
    Refresh the Query in DeskI make sure it is refreshing perfectly.
    Convert the DeskI report using RCT to WebI report
    Refresh the converted WebI report make sure it refreshes prefect.
    Find out which connection has been used for Default FHSQL universe
    Find out any universe has using the same connection.
    Create a derived table using the same query from WebI report
    Export the universe to RCT universe folder.
    Open the WebI report and to point the universe.
    Map the objects to existing WebI report objects
    If you need more help on this kindly revert me back.
    Hope it must help you!

  • Adaptive Processing Server vs WEBI reporting server

    I'm planning for production configuration, I want to know when I perform following actions, which server is used? webi or Adaptiive Processing...
    1. User refreshes a webi report    (webi?)
    2. Schedule a webi report (webi and Adaptive Processing? )
    I will clone existing webi reporting servers, should I clone Adaptive processing servers also? AP has so many services running in it, I really don't need all of them. I just want to know which services are critical to report refreshing and scheduling.  If a schedule a large report (5 million rows for instance); which server should I beef up? webi ? or AP? If I add one more AP server, will BO knows how to take advantage of it?

    Is the Adaptive Processing server used for Scheduling Webi reports?
    Senario:
    I have Webi Processing services on production which are identical.
    there are Adaptive Preocessing services which has different set of services.
    1) AdaptiveProcessingServer1
    Trace log service
    audit service
    visualization service
    Web Intelligence Tracking Service
    Web Intelligence Monitoring Service
    2) AdaptiveProcessingServer2
    Custom Data Access Service
    Document Recovery Service
    Excel Data Access Service
    monitoring service
    Rebean service
    Trace log service
    Web Intelligence monitoring service
    audit service
    3) AdaptiveProcessingServer3
    Trace log service
    audit service
    DSL Bridge service
    security token service
    Web Intelligence Tracking Service
    Web Intelligence Monitoring Service
    My reports are failing sometimes with error: Exception raised:
    com.businessobjects.sdk.core.CoreException
    When i check for the SAP Note 1679045, however there solution refers only to the Webi Processing servers and not APS.
    So not sure if it is applicable to APS as well.

  • How do I to modify context value DATABASE.SID on existing web ADI sheet?

    Does anybody know how to modify the connection context value (DATABASE.SID) on an existing web ADI sheet?
    My original sheet was created against e.g. TESTBASE.TST1, but now I want the same sheet to work on PRD (PRDBASE.PRD).
    In the old client version there was a hidden sheet where you could change this, but in web ADI there is no hidden sheet, and changing context values directly is not allowed.

  • How to modify existing code of SQVI report?

    Hi Expert,
       There is a SQVI report which has already been created but we need to change the one for new requirement.
    is there any way to modify existing code for new requirement?
    Can we edit in abap workbench?
    Thanks & Regards
    Savita

    Savita,
    You can not modify SQVI system generated code. You need to go to SAVI change mode and make modifications. If your requirement is a sort of additional fields or inserting come code into the program , then SQVI is not the choice. You need to use Infoset Queries (SQ03, SQ02, Sq01).

  • Webi report runs in schedule in mins, times out when trying to modify

    I have a Webi Report that runs in schedule copy sent to an inbox (takes a minute to run)
    However when you try to modify refresh or edit in Webi on Infoview. The application just sits there with one green bar on progress bar, No Timeouts etc.
    Any ideas?

    To increase Java heap size on the client computer, check SAP NOTE# 1201179 - Error: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" when attempting to edit large Web Intelligence
    Symptom
    In BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2, when attempting to edit large Web Intelligence documents, the Internet Explorer browser stops responding. In the Java console, the following error message appears:
    "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError".
    Cause
    The error message occurs because the instance of Java on the client computer has reached its memory threshold.
    Resolution
    To edit large Web Intelligence documents, the default memory size on the client computer must be increased.
    To increase the default memory size
    Click Start > Control Panel > Java Plug-in > Advanced.
    Type "-Xms128m or -Xms256m" for the Java Runtime Parameters.
    Click Apply.
    Close all Internet Explorer windows.
    Retry the report.
    To automate the process the user can also create a script file that will update the deployment.properties file on each users' workstation.  The file is located under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment folder.
    Modify the deployment.javapi.jre.<version>.args parameter in the deployment.properties file and add the xms and xmx parameters, for eg:
    deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0_12.args=-Xms128m  -Xms256m
    The Web Intelligence document can now be edited successfully

  • Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST  when using Dimensions in Prompt

    Hi,
    I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
    I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
    Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
    The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
    When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
    A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT  { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS,  { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] }  ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]  failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
    I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
    Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
    SELECT  { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } 
    ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS,  { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] }  ) ON ROWS 
    FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
    Then it worked Fine!!!  If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
    By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
    I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
    Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
    regads,
    Nisha.

    Hi Ingo,
    I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
    The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
    Also,
    I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
    This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
    MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
    Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and  "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
    COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
    So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
    and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
    I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
    When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
    But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
    This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
    We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!!  We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
    Please let me know your inputs.
    regards,
    Nisha.
