Web Query issues

Hi All,
I have created a web query and assigned it to a role. I have moved the role, web templete and the query from dev to QA was able run the query fine without issues.
The problem I am having is when I make changes to the query and transport it to QA...when I run the query from the role menu it still shows the old query instead of the changed query.
Can someone please explain what are the steps I need to take when I make changes to exsisting web query in dev and move to QA and be able to see the changes. What are all the objects I need to collect. Also would like to know if there are any settings on the role menu or web templete that need to be changed and also any buffers that I need to cleared??
Any help is appriciated and will give max points.
Thanks

BWdesi,

Issue with webi query export.

Hello Guys
I have a webi query and the report looks as below.
Whenever we export it to .CSV, the generated csv file contains an extra column. The column is headerless and contains value ‘3’. The issue is there only when we export it to csv. For excel export its working fine.
Please share your views regarding why this extra column is coming.
Here is the query Structure.

do you have any report level filters?

How best to address WEBI query buffer issue

Hello folks,
I understand that upon executing the WEBI query from the hyperlink, the data is displayed from the buffer with variable values derived from the last saved version of this query. Can this be overridden so the data is fetched from the database first time around instead? I should mention that:
1. the users would not like to see the selection screen upon this initial execution and so the refresh upon execution was ruled out as it would present the users with this selection screen. The users would still like to change this value and they can change this via Refresh button upon which the selection screen will show up, so no issues here.
2. the variable is being defined at the query level and not coming via the BEx query, in which case the customer exit may have been used.
Any suggestions/thoughts are welcome. Thanks for looking.
Cheers.

Hi,
I understand that upon executing the WEBI query from the hyperlink, the data is displayed from the buffer with variable values derived from the last saved version of this query. Can this be overridden so the data is fetched from the database first time around instead? I should mention that:
>>> When you save a Web Intelligence report to the BusinessObjects Enterprise server you can configure that the report is "refreshed on open" every time.
1. the users would not like to see the selection screen upon this initial execution and so the refresh upon execution was ruled out as it would present the users with this selection screen. The users would still like to change this value and they can change this via Refresh button upon which the selection screen will show up, so no issues here.
>> The user would see a screen unless you call the report with values for the prompts.
2. the variable is being defined at the query level and not coming via the BEx query, in which case the customer exit may have been used.
>>> Here you say in the first part it is defined on the query level but then you say it does not come via the query. Which one is it ?

Issue on the web query, pls kindly help.

Hi colleagues,
First, I execute a web query and all data shows perfectly. Then, i do some changes to the report, like deleting some column, and i use the "save view" button. However, the data of the new devised report does not shown and I am given a error message that "Could not find any data to display. This might be due to the current selection of variable or filter values".
When I look into it, the error really lies in the filter values, which has been automatically set when i save the view. For these set filter values, the report finds no data to display. Have some of you come across such kind of errors? great thanks.

Hi guru,

Web Query (.iqy) not working in Excel after upgrade to 11.1.1.6

After upgrade 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6, the Web Query (.iqy) does not work. After open the .iqy file in Excel, entered the user and password, it only pulls in "PK" in one cell, instead of the expected analysis report. This was working in 11.1.1.5 before upgrade.
Does anyone know how to correct this issue? Is this a bug in 11.1.1.6, or required some new configuration settings?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,
We are also having the same issue. We are in BI 7 SP 15.
Is there any way to find the relation between the Bookmark ID and Query name? The favorite link is not working and getting the above error message. We are also not able to identify the query related to this favorite / bookmark link. Is there any table to identify for query and Bookmark?
Can you experts advise urgently? Advance Thanks.

Problem with Broadcasting Web query

I am able to broadcast the web query and I recieve the email in MS Outlook, but the report is unreadable. It has the proper header info (from, to, subject, ...), but the report itself shows up as garbled text ("Q29udGVudC1UeXBlOiBtdWx0aXBhcnQvcmVsYXRlZDsNCiBib3VuZG").
I tried the different output formats in Broadcaster, but no luck. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks in advance.

Check the o/p of the sent mail from tcode SOST. if the o/ format looks fine in SOST, the problem could be on the Mail server (Exchange or Lotus notes).
What version of MS Outlook/ MSExchange server are you using? I have seen issues with MS Exchange 2002>.
Thanks.

"Json is undefined" error message when running web query in excel

Hello,
Im trying to run a web query to import flight price data from ryanair into excel.
I get a "Json is undefined" error message whenever i run the web query.
I also get a message from Ryanair saying my browser is out of date even though I have Internet Explorer 11.
Ive added screenshots so i hope they display correctly.
Can anyone help with this.
Thank you

Hi,
Did this issue only occur with the Ryanair website or other websites( Such as Microsoft websites)?
If this issue only occur with Ryanair website, this issue might be caused by the website script error, please see the below image ( I could reproduce your issue with this URL):
We might be able to query the data with this site.
If your web query can't access the other site, please try the below workaround.
Copy the code in to VBE and set the website URL.
Sub Web_Query()

myURL = "url;http://www.xxxxxx.com"
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=myURL, Destination:=Range("A1"))

Unable to open web query. Cannot download the information you requested.

I am attempting to import several financial statements into a stock valuation program I have created. Sometimes, the web queries work fine and other times they do not. For instance, if I reset my computer they will sometimes
work. It is very random, some days it will work and others it will not. I have had other people try using excel web queries, not just from my worksheet, and they have the same issue where they randomly stop working. I have looked into
other forums but cannot figure out why these queries will not work. Please help me resolve this because it makes the excel program worthless without it. Thanks!

Not sure if have tried the methods listed in the articles below, if not, please have a try.

How can I use a variable in webi query filter

I created a webi report using the fiscal year/month(period) field as a filter to show a window of 18 periods. The report works just as requested using a between filter on fiscal period with prompts for both the start and ending periods. Now I'd like to calculate the start period based on what was entered in the prompt for the ending period (e.g. enter 201106 for the TO prompt on the between statement and have the FROM statement filled in as 201001.) I can create variables in the report to display both the user response to the ending period prompt and the calculated starting period, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate that calculated starting date into the FROM side of the between query filter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
Sorry I got my froms and to's mixed up in the first draft. Edited by: Doug Roswold on Mar 4, 2011 6:27 PM

Let me understand what you want to do. You don't want to use two prompts, just one, insn't it?
I mean, instead of:
Filter area:
Date between "From prompt" to "To Prompt"
You want something like:.
Filter area:
Date between Variable to "To Prompt"
if I'm not wrong that's not possible to achieve in Webi Query Panel.
Can you modify your universe? The only way to achieve it is modifying your universe, creating your formula in the universe and assigning it to an object, so you can use this new object in your filter area like this:
Date between MyUniverseObject to "To Prompt"

Dataset query issues twice if the dataset is connected to matrix and used in multilookup function

hello everybody.
could not find any information if this is an intended behavior:
dataset query issues twice if the dataset is connected to matrix and used in multilookup function
parameters in both queries are the same

Hello, Wendy.
I prepared a very empty sample report for you to demonstrate the problem - with this report, i hope, there is no place to discuss the shrinking of time data retrieval.
There is one dataset, one parameter and one lookup function. The query is executed twice.

This perfectly works with one table and one nav. block per tab. When I include a second table and a second nav. blocks in some tab, it doesn't work properly anymore (the selected tab is not highlighted). I think that I'm not naming the table and nav. block properly:
ITEM: TAB1
ITEM: TAB1NAVIGATIONBLOCK_1
Second table?
Second nav. block?
Could someone help me further?
Thanks, Nippon

with other words..
strip1 = 2 tables, name TAB1_0 and TAB1_1
strip2 = 2 tables, name TAB2_0 and TAB2_1
Navblock strip1 = 2 navblocks, name TAB1_0_NAV and TAB1_1_NAV
Navblock strip2 = 2 navblocks, name TAB2_0_NAV and TAB2_1_NAV
The JavaScript Paramter is TAB1, TAB2 and TAB3. So need every strip-group the same "main"-name.
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB1"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB1')">Tab 1</A>
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB2"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB2')">Tab 2</A>
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB3"><A href="javascript:goto_tab('TAB3')">Tab 3</A>
First of all JavaScript set all objects to hidden, then set all objects with 'name' visible.
