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.
Thanks

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,

  • Multiple Universes (based on SAP BI Query) & single WebI Report

    Hi,
    We build OLAP Universes on SAP BI Queries. One of the ways to consume multiple universes in a single WebI report is to "add query" from another universe into the same WebI page / another WebI tab for the report.
    Is there a possibility to pick and choose fields from different Universes (based on SAP BI Queries), into a single WebI report ... of course respecting their technical linkage.
    regards,
    Rajesh K Sarin

    Hi Ingo,
    We have created multiple subject Area Universes (based on SAP BI Queries). Is there a possibility to select a particular object from one of the Universe and another object from another Universe into the same grid eg. Notification Number from Work Management Universe (SAP BI Query based on Customer Service Data Flow / Multiprovider) and Invoice Number from Invoicing Universe (SAP BI Query based on Invoicing Data Flow / Multiprovider). Common aspects for both of these could be say a Customer Account Number.
    As per my understanding, we cannot do this if we have created Universes on SAP BI Queries.
    Nearest possible option is to display two tables on the same WebI report - one from Work Mgmt Universe and other from Invoicing Universe.
    Please guide.

  • 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

  • Universe based on SAP BI Query

    Hi,
    I have created a universe based on SAP BI Query. In the universe there is a class called Time and has the below dimensions.
    L01 Calendar Day
    L01 Calendar Month
    L01 Calendar Year
    I want to create a dimension that will return only the current year (2012) and another dimension that will give the last year(2011)
    Please suggest how to create these two dimensions in the universe using the XML tags.

    Also, in the Universe Designer, there is an MDX formula editor when you create objects in the OLAP universe. it's in the 'select' screen, click the " >> " icon.

  • BO Production deployment of universes based on SAP BW query

    Hi there,
    We just set a scenario on a BO development machine, and would like to deploy all these created objects (webi/cr documents, universes based on SAP BW queries... ) to a BO Production machine.
    How can this procedure be performed?
    As far as I know, import wizard should be used, but what happens with universes that are referring to SAP BW queries? Obviously, universe in BO Production environment should point to the same BW query name, but from SAP BW Production system, not development.
    Is import wizard capable of doing this step? If not, what should be done in order to replicate your universes based on BW queries from BO Development to BO Production?
    Thanks and best regards,
    David.

  • Universe based on SAP BW

    Hey everybody,
    exepting that I've got problems to create Universes based on Multiproviders (an other thread: /community [original link is broken]) I have an other problem with that ones I'm able to create out of SAP Cubes.
    When choosing a connection that refers on a SAP BW Cube it starts to import all containing tables.
    Usually, when using a sample file, e.g., there is imported non at all and it's possible then to create an new universe (adding tables, create joins, etc.).
    After creating the "SAP related" universe this is not possible anymore. But maybe it shouldn't? I dont't know.
    Which step or point of the "chain" I don't understand? Or what I'm doing wrong?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Create universe based on SAP ERP (ECC 6.0)

    Hi experts,
    I have a short questions which is hopefully easy to answer.
    Is it recommended, if I want to create a universe based on the SAP ERP System to directly connect to the underlying database or should I use the Data Federator to connect to a universe?
    I have no data warehouse and I dont want to craete one. I`m using BO Edge BI 3.1 and ECC 6.0.
    First I only want to build a universe with one data source (ERP). I know that if I want to join several sources I must use Data Federator or Data Integrator.
    Can anyone help me with this question?
    Thanks al lot and have a nice day
    Daniel

    Hi,
    As I said this is the only way to build universes on SAP ERP (ECC 6.0).
    This application is currently a prototype but it is planned to deliver an official support of SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) by Data Federator in the coming weeks.
    Data Federator will be used for both XI 3.1 and BI 4.x to access SAP ERP data: this access will be provided only for the XI 3.1 release, we also plan to support it in BI 4.1.
    Regards

  • Unable to refresh structure for Universe based on SAP cubes

    Hi ,
    We have installed the XI R2 integration kit on Unix server successfully. WebI & Crystal are working fine on SAP data.
    But when I try to refresh the structure of BW query based universe the option doesn't show up (It's greyed out).
    I tried 'refresh structure' option on efashion universe and it works fine.
    Also, in the Designer login I dont see SAP authentication type as an option. Do we have to install any integration kit for Client as well?
    (BO is installed on Unix server)
    Please help me out with these problems.
    Thanks,
    Shesha.

    Hi Shesha,
    This is only available in XI 3.0 onwards.
    You will find this in the "What's new in BusinessObjects XI 3.0 for SAP solutions" guide.
    Lifecycle management and customization of SAP BW universes
    Refresh SAP BW universe structure
    You can now refresh SAP BW universes to take into account SAP metadata
    updates. Universe objects and filters can be automatically updated, added,
    removed, or even hidden. Multiple options are available to keep or discard
    modifications which were done after initial universe creation.
    SAP BW universe customization
    You can now customize SAP BW universes by manually inserting new
    dimensions, measures, and details, and updating the default folder
    organization. You can also insert new query filters.
    Regards

  • "Count" MDX function in Universe based on SAP BW 7.1 Multiprovider

    Hi,
       I am creating a mesure in Universe using "Count".  If I use measure directly, I get "Multivalue" error. Do you know why.
    Help text reads folowing: COUNT ( " Set "    ,  EXCLUDEEMPTY     ) count number of cells in a set, optionally including or excluding empty cells.
    The following is the syntax in my universe : COUNT(.[0ACTION_Count]).
    OLAP Guides by Didier MAZOUÉ has the following syntax is Count(.Members)  or Count(.[LEVEL01].Members). This is for Dimension, but my object is already a measure (One of the Key figure and * data is at lowest level for an employee and my purpose is to show summary for a period/month or Country or city Using Count*) how should I change the syntax. What is the "Set" . Could you help me with Syntax. This is my first Universe.

  • Universe based on SAP BW in Crystal Reports

    Hello everybody.
    Yesterday I've visited the CeBIT.
    Here I've talked to other colleges working on BO issues.
    We're using the Version BO Enterprise XI 3.0. In this version it is not possible to use Universes in Crystal Reports 2008 that base on SAP BW content.
    A college showed me Polestar XI 3.1.
    I've asked him if this problem from above is solved in the XI 3.1 version of BO.
    He did not know exactly.
    So could someone tell me, if it is possible in BO Enterprise XI 3.1 to use Universes in Crystal Reports that  were build on SAP BW content?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    when working with OLAP universes (eg. universes based on SAP BW queries) it is not possible to work as you normally do when you have a universe based on a relational data source. The data madel is the one from the OLAP source (cube) so it is not possible to create your on joins, tables etc. In this case you can only add/modify the objects in the object browser (left panel).
    Regards,
    Stratos
    PS: The Data Federator will allo you to create relational universes on an SAP BW source. Still this is a product that must be licensed seperately and currently does not support SAP logon ticket-based SSO.

  • 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.
    Nanda Kishore
    Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Dec 26, 2010 6:15 AM

    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?
