Report on olap universe (integration kit) fails by WEBI and it runs by Rich

I've implemented the integration Kit and an OLAP universe query based and it runs.
I've a problem on a report that runs via Rich Client and fails via web client.
We are on BI 7.0 sp 19. Is it necessary to upgrade to BI 7.01 SP03 or SP04 ? We've seen your interesting document about the improvement of perfomance of BI 7.01 SP04 but we'd like to upgrade our BI system 7.0 in 2 months and not now.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi Sebastian,
The BO XI 3.1 Fix pack Level is 1.7. We have activated traces but we don't know if the traces are java.
We have the problem with reports with a large quantity of data, in report with a low quantity of data webi runs.
OSS ask us to evaluate the upgrade of our SAP BI to the EHP1 03 but it requires 2 weeks and we'd like to evaluate all alternatives before to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
M.

How to schedule webi report using OLAP Universe

Hi all,
I am using the webi report which is based on BW query or cube.
I want to schedule the webi report which should get refreshed automatically.
how to set the date parameter for that webi report at universe or report level.
or shall i should create a variable at bw side i.e., (sysdate -1) and tht variable should i use in the report or any idea..
i am using BOE 3.1 SP3
Integration Kit SP3
BW 7.1
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
it won't be at "report-level" . those local variables are formulae used for formatting, not for user inputs / responses.
Easiest is to use the SAP KEYDATE variable in the BEx query.
This SAPVAR will come through as a WebI prompt like any other, and has a default value of sysdate (if not answered differently)
As for the Scheduling mechanism, this is the same as always - done in Infoview / BILaunchPad - select the webi instance, and click Schedule .

#Unavailable in WEBI Report - Using OLAP Universe

Hi,
I am using BEX query (OALP Universe) to create a WEBI report, when I run the report, it shows #UNAVAILABLE in Key Figures values.
I am not using the database delegation in Key figures properties in Universe, it is default to SUM
and if i create a new report based on this universe it is displaying correct, only if i open the existing report it shows the #unavailable.
and i tested this report in webi rich client, i.e. i imported this report in WEBI rich client and ran it , it was working fine, then again i exported this report into infoview and it is working fine in Infoview, the Key figures are showing values.
I am strange of this issue...
Please let me know if you guys have any idea on this issue
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Ram

Hi,
I am not sure if it is the same problem, but I had similar issues with measure objects coming out of the universe that were defined as "database delegated" in the universe object's properties. Basically it then forces you to always refresh when you have changed anything on the report, so that it can recalculate the measure. I am not aware of differences regarding this in Rich Client vs. InfoView, but there could be. I have seen other similar issues between the two before.
Check to see if the measures are database delegated, and change them if you can to sum or count or whatever they should be.
Hope that 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.

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?

Visual Age 3.5, WLS 5.1, Integration Kit 5.1 beta and JSP?

Hello,
i have a problem with the missing JSP-support in Visual Age. It would be a
workaround to develop JSP outside Visual Age and just put them into the
myserver/public_html directory. But if i start WLS from within Visual Age,
the JSP won't compile, i get the error:
D:\Java\bea51\myserver\classfiles\jsp_servlet\_test.java:48: Wrong number of
arguments in method.
if (sci.isResourceStale("/test.jsp", 978702001388L, "5.1.0 Service
Pack 6 09/20/2000 21:03:19 #84511")) return true;
Operating System is WinNT 4.0, Service Pack 6, i use the professional
edition of Visual Age.
Is there a wrong setting in the IDE or is it impossible to develop JSPs with
the Integration Kit?
Regards,
Reinhard Maier

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?
Regards,
Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

Hello Claudia,
the SAP Integration Kit is always dependent on the product releases. there is a Crystal Reports v 10 and Crystal Enterprise v 10 and a SAP Integration Kit v 10 - but keep in mind that v 10 is already out of support.
Crystal Reports 2008 requires the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.x and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x

Integration KIT R2 and BW7.0

Hi all,
i would like to know if is possible to integrate a BO XI R2 on a SAP system with BW7.0.
I've downloaded the integration kit R2 for sap, and the file platforms_en.txt included in it speaks about the following:
==========
4: SAP GUI
==========
SAP 620 GUI, patch level 42
SAP 640 GUI, patch level 8
==============
5: SAP Servers
==============
SAP BW 3.0b, BASIS level 55, ABA level 55, BW level 29
SAP BW 3.1c, BASIS level 55, ABA level 55, BW level 23
SAP BW 3.5, BASIS level 16, ABA level 16, BW level 15
SAP R/3 4.6c BASIS level 46c, ABA level 46c
SAP R/3 4.7 BASIS level 41, ABA level 41
mySAP ERP 2004 BASIS level 9, ABA level 9
SAP Enterprise Portal 6 SP3
Is there a way to integrate BOXI R2 with BW 7.0?
Thanks to anyone will answer.
Kind Regards
Massimo Solleretto

HI Massimo,
on the machine where the BO Server runs on, you just have just to download and install the SAP Java Connector 2.1.6 (You do not need to install SAP GUI on your server). For your development client installations (i.e Universe Designer, Crystal Reports Designer) you have to install SAP GUI 6.40.
Just look in the actual document about the supported platforms for the int.KIT for SAP XI R2.
SAP GUI 7.10 is officially supported in XI 3.0 and 3.1

Default language settings in SAP Integration Kit?

Hi everybody,
I've the following problem:
If I create a report with the SAP Integration Kit (create new report from a query) I get a prompt where I can type in (System Number, User, Password and LANGUAGE). If I now choose as language u201CEnglishu201D and create a report, save it and open it in crystal again, everything is still fine. But if I go to refresh the report, I get a prompt where I can choose the SAP BW and type in the System Number, User and Password but not the LANGUAGE. After the refresh the names of the fields are still in English but the data is now in German (or just the technical names, depends on the language settings in the query).
For me it looks like that the language settings of the refresh are by default in crystal is set to German, but the software is English. I didnu2019t find any way to change the default language to English or save it in the report.
I already tried to change the language/regional/keyboard settings of my machine and also tried to change the language in the crystal formula field u201Clanguagecode%u201D.
But even if I could have a unique change in some system settings, it really will not help me, because I have some queries in German and some in English, depending on the actual BW system.
If the SAP Integration Kit gives me the possibility to choose the language during the creation of the report it should then remember the choice!?
Thank you for your help

Businessobjects Integration kit for SAP

Hi all,
I am integrating BI with Xcelsius tool. For that I want Businessobjects Integration kit for SAP in my client machine. I have reffered the following installation guide.
[BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP - Installation and Configuration|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a00ee3b2-5283-2b10-f1bf-8c6413e0898f]
After selecting the option Yes, automatically deploy the web application(Step 20), i get one screen for Configuring web application Server. It is asking Sever instance and Service Name.
What is Server Instance and Service Name? Can you tell any example for Sever instance and Service Name ?
Help me in this regard.
Regards,
Hemalatha J

Hi Hemalatha,
You wouldn't necessarily need the Web application to be installed on the client machine, and unless you want the user to access your Business Objects environment using SAP security, you wouldn't necessarily need the Web Application that comes with the SAP Integration Kit.
I agree that the documentation is not great in explaining what you would need if you want to do what you describe.
Are you looking to have connected Xcelsius models which use QAaWS over a Universe which is built over SAP BI content (Cube/Query)
If so, you may find that you only need the data connectivity components of the SAP integration kit.
Can you further explain what you are trying to do....I may be able to add more assistance.

Row Level security in OLAP universe

Hi,
We have a OLAP universe based on a BeX query and we are planning to implement the row level security on it.
As it is not possible to use the normal @BOUSER in the OLAP universe, what is the way to implement the same?
Is it possible to have it in the BeX query itself? Any thoughts on this please.
indus

Hi,
right now you can not implement row level security in an OLAP Universe, you need to setup BI Authorizations and use Authorization variables in the query.

Integration Kit for SAP - Edge or XI?

Hi guys, I'm a little confused, I know that BOBJ Edge Server components is a XI, capped and intended for smaller installations. The question is, I don't see in the installation components any "Integration Kit for SAP Solutions" specific for EDGE, however I do see "SBOP EDGE BI, VERSION WITH DATA INTEGRATION (FOR SAP ERP)" that includes the Int Kit.
The question is, what happened if I installed Edge before without the Int Kit for SAP, do I have to uninstall and re-istall? or I can use the Int Kit for SAP for XI?
Thanks for your help.

mmmm, actually I had installed by mistake the Integration Kit for SAP for XI, it did let me install, after the fact I realized that I should had used the one that comes with Edge with Data Integration for ERP.
I did uninstall and re-installed the correct one, however, I also noticed that the SP2 for the Integration Kit says on the title "BOBJ XI 3.1 Integration Kit for SAP Solutions" and not BOBJ Edge. So makes me wonder if there is a real difference.

Dimitri, Having issues with Anychart5 for APEX integration kit

Hello Dimitri,
I tried sending an email to [email protected]; however, I get an error so I hope to catch you here.
I have installed APEX trial integration kit into another folder and modified the region to point to the correct path. The new charts show; however, some of the labels are not displaying on the 3D pie chart. I've noticed this is an issue on the sample http://anychart.apex-evangelists.com/pls/apex/f?p=755:7:1610753316996317::NO:::. Also, the legend just says value1 with no data.

Tasty, Morten!
Good work.
