SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

Hi,
I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
Below are the settings that I had done:
Setting of Characteristic in BW:
Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
Example data:
Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Edison Wang

Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

Hi
We are having Backend as SAP BW.
Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi, we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes to open.
This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
So can you suggest any solution?

Hi Gaurav,
We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
(so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
this will result in that object being added to the result set.
Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
(less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
Good luck!

SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
"An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
No error"
Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue) and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
Thanks

Webi Report scheduling issue

Dear Experts,
I have webi reports which are running fine when i refresh the query from query panel. When i am scheduling the report it is failing.
My webi reports are connected to the Bex Queries using OLAP Connections which is working fine for other reports.
I am getting the following error message
"Can not connect to the source olap com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (103) JCO_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Access key access is no longer possible"
Because of this BW Credentials are getting locked and user cannot able to access the BW System.
Kindly help us getting this issue solved.
Thanks in advance.
THanks & Regards,
Archit Sarwal

Hi Archit,
Try this...
Logon to Central Management Console (CMC) with an Administrator user.

Web reports prompts me to input username and password in bw

Hi all.
When I access web reports from bw.
It will open a IE, then go to one url ( which is located in ITS ), and IE prompts me to input a valid username and password.
Its very strange, because I have already logged on that BW.
Is it possible to avoid this prompt ?

Gu,
Can you give us the URLs that you are using , is it that the URLs are different ?
The URL is usually
http://<yourserver>:port/sap......
assuming that the URLs are
URL 1 ( which is currently opening in IE )
http://<yourserver1>:port/sap......
URL 2 ( for which the login is being asked for)
http://<yourserver2>:port/sap......
if yourserver1 and yourserver2 are different , then a logon is required.
Hope it helps..

Calling SAP transaction from Webi report?

Hi experts,
With BI/BW query, we can retrieve data from R/3 source system via report-to-report interface. For instance, from a Purchasing query with data aggregated by Vendor, the user can trigger the R/3 transaction ME2L by clicking on a row.
Is there a similar feature in BOBJ Webi report? For instance, can we use hyperlink or some other means to do this?
Any idea will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Linda

Hi Stratos,
Really appreciate your advice. Following your suggestion of using blank cell, the server is determined dynamically for the hyperlink.
However, there're still some issues with defining a hyperlink for table columns. For instance, I have 2 columns in the table - Cost Centre and Cost Element. SAP transactions KS03 and KA03 are to be launched respectively for these 2 columns. The value of the clicked column (Cost Centre, Cost Element) is to be passed to the SAP transaction.
I've created the following hyperlink for the Cost Centre column:
http://[[MyServer]]?sap-client=([Client])&sap-language=EN&~transaction=KS03
with Tool Tip = [[L01 Cost Center Key]]
The link is not working immediately, so I adjusted the formula as follows via the formula editor (by adding double quotes for <MyServer>):
="<a href=\""[[MyServer]]"?sap-client="URLEncode(""[[Client]])"&sap-language=EN&%7Etransaction=KS03\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\" nav=\"web\">"[[L01 Cost Center Key]]+"</a>"
Clicking the <tick> button does not return any error.
When I click on the Cost Center column, the SAP transaction is launched successfully. However, there're still a few issues:
1) The Cost Center Key is not passed to the SAP transaction. Is Tool Tip the way to go?
2) When checking the hyperlink (via right-click > Hyperlinks > Edit Hyperlink), I found the Tool Tip (L01 Cost Center Key) has disappeared
3) After I've clicked <OK> to exit the Edit Hyperlink window, I got the error message 'Invalid character '[[MyServer]]' at position 14. (Error: WIS10080)'.
-- It seems correct syntax in the formula editor is considered invalid in the hyperlink editor.
Do you mind commenting on what could have caused the above issues?
Thanks again for your time.
Linda

How to restrict values of Dimensions in Webi report prompt

Hi
I need to create a WebI report for a set of Business users. We have several thousands of Agencies. Business Users want to see only the agencies they work with (about 100) in the prompt. This way they need not go through thousands of agencies they dont work with. I tried to use List Of Values option but that didnt give me desired result. Please let me know how to restrict values in prompt to few values from the n number of values available in database.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there is no such step-by-step!
I would encourage you to consult documentation and search for terms 'row level restriction' in the help guides.
Practice makes perfect
Good luck

Webi Reports Prompts Order

Hi,
We have migrated BO 6.5.1 Webi report to Xi R2 and observed that the order of prompts is different between 6x and Xi R2. I don''t see any option to perform custorm display of prompts as custom prompt page does not show prompts defined in Universe.
Please help.
Thanks.

Sundaresan,
I don't have experience with the 6.5 product, however, in XI, the order of the prompts appear in alphabetical order (this is not customizable). To overcome this limitation I've seen put into practice by universe designers the use of pre-text to a prompt to force the proper order. For instance using a numbering scheme "1. Choose from the following Zip Codes"; "2. Choose from the following Cities:"; etc, etc. Doing it this way ensures that the desired order is presented properly.
Thanks,
John

WebI Report Prompt

Hi All,
I am trying to create a report prompt where a user selects a date prior to opening the report. The user selection then sets a variable that I plan to use in a formula. I do not want to use the user selected field as a filter to the report. For example, I have a date prompt. The user selects '1/1/2011' and it is set in the 'MaxReportDate' variable within the report. I then use the 'MaxReportDate' in a MaxPrice formula:
MaxPrice = Price where ReportDate = MaxReportDate.
Is this functionality possible in Web Intelligence? Please help!

hi,
If you have access to Designer (Universe), please follow the below steps.
1) Create an Object named MaxReportDate
    Definition : @prompt('Enter MaxReportDate','D',,mono,free)
    Click Tables > Specify relevant table (i.e. table from which you are using other objects)
    click ok
Please include this new object in your WEBI Query panel as well.
Now your formula will work as last one MaxReportDate will be direct object instead of variable.
MaxPrice = Price where ReportDate = MaxReportDate.

Vamsee

Webi report sum issues

Hi All,
I have a webi report with the fields as below and at the bottom of the report, I am trying to sum the amount it gives me multivalue or double the number.
Status
Amount
ID NUmber
Description
Station
A
3,037.44
578
Light
X157
E
3,899.68
579
Light
X157
Sum of Amount
#MULTIVALUE
For sum of amount I am using formula as: =(If([Status Id]="E" ;Sum([Payment Amount]);0)) this gives a multivalue error. If I use formula as :
=Sum(If([Status Id]="E" ;Sum([Payment Amount]);0)); this gives number as 69,371.2. I am expecting to see 3899.68 since that is the number for Status=E.
If I use =Max(If([Status Id]="E" ;Sum([Payment Amount]);0)) it gives the number as 6937.12 which is sum of both the 3037.44 and 3899.68, which is incorrect.
Please help where I am going wrong.
Thanks,
Nisha

Thanks for your quick response.
I am using merge dimensions. I am merging ID Number and station. Query 1 I have all the fields, query 2 I have ID number, Station and Amount. So I am merging the 2 fields.

Crystal Reports prompt issue on export: "The report you requested requires further information"

I have searched through forums for a solution but none seem to work for me.
I have an ASP Webform/MySql application which displays Crystal Reports.
The ones which do not require a user to enter a parameter display fine and I am able to click on export on the CR toolbar and download, e.g. .pdf format.
On the report that require a user to enter a parameter, the report renders fine but when I click on the export button, i get the prompt:

asking for DB login credentials. How can I avoid this?
