Access/display BW Document in BEx Query

Hello,
I have a request to create a BEx query to access BW documents. These BW documents are created in documents manager via WEB planning screens. I can see in Analyzer where we have queries created to do this but I am unable to get any of these to work. I have tried searching SAP Help and SCN and see no direction on how to do this. I am not sure if I am stating this request correctly. We are on BW/Analyzer 7.3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Roseanne

Hi Roseanne,
well, if the document was created in BPS, I doubt that it can be shown in a query. I think the kind of document and the data it is connected to is different, but I am not sure about this.
This might be mor a question for portal or knowledge management, so maybe it´s better to find a forum for these topics here in SCN.
also have a look here
http://scn.sap.com/community/data-warehousing/business-planning
that´s where questions for BPS are asked. maybe you can find something about BPS-Dosuments.
Sorry, but it´s not my favourite topic ;-)
regards
Cornelia

Display Leading Zeros in bex query

Hi,
I am new to BI and need to display leading zeros in bex report.
There is an info-object billing number which is of type CHAR. The values, 00001 - 00010 has been given in the CSV file.
when i generate the same in IP, the leading zeros are mentioned, but the same is not appearing in the bex query.
I have tried ALPHA conversion but this has no affect on the output.
How to achieve the same??
thanks in advance for the answers

Hi,
To answer your question in detail, there is a conversion routine at infoobject level( Tab- general ), that determines how the values are displayed in the front end. For ex, alpha conversion routine takes away the leading zeros when you display the value in query. ( 0001 displayed as 1 )
Assuming this is custom infoobject, I would suggest you to remove the conversion routine from the infoobject. This will help you in displaying leading zeros in the report.
However, you have to ensure that all the values loaded for this infoobject is properly alpha converted ( packed with leading zeros ) by adding a field routine in the transformation. This will avoid same values getting stored with different internal formats like 01,001 etc.
Hope this explains.
Thanks.

How to display 0 Percentage in BEx Query Designer

The BEx queries which I'm doing are ported to EP & client views all charts & data in portal only.
I have a small requirement. My client requires to display 0% in the data output.
Sample data is like
Mon/Grade     A | B | C | D | E | F             " These are headings
April                |     |    | 3 | 5 | 4 | |           " These are data I got in BEx
Required O/p
Mon/Grade     A | B | C | D | E | F                  " These are headings
April                |   0 | 0   | 3 | 5 | 4 | 0 |           " These are data I got in BEx
My current formula is like
> NODIV0( ( TEST1 * 12) %A TEST2 )
What changes must I make so that 0% is displayed in the O/p? Please let me know earliest.
P.S . The values TEST1 and TEST2 are 'Selections', which holds no data for those displaying values.

Hi Kavitha,
The problem is I'm viewing the data in Web based BEX & not in BEX Analyser. So only.
>           GROUP E GROUP D2 GROUP D1 GROUP C2
>APR              6.0      46.0
>MAY %           14.3      48.0      11.4      16.9
>JUN %             11.6      16.2
As you can see there's no data for the months-grade (Apr-GroupD1 etc).. Now, how to view it in portal with 0s for all the ones with no data?

4.x: Document Link passing range parameter to a WebI rpt using BEx query

I'm new to working with BEx queries, so I may use the wrong terminology. I'm trying to create a document hyperlink from one WebI report to another. Both are based on BEx queries, which I didn't create, nor do I have access to modify. The BEx query for the target report has a parameter, Fiscal year/period, which is a range parameter. The displayed value in a report or in pick lists is in the format "JUL 2010". The key is in the format "K4/007/2010".
I have tried using the Document Link expert to configure passing the range parameter, but have been unsuccessful. The typical result is an error message, ERR_WIS_30270, which is most likely the result of an incorrect format for passing the range. I've not been able to locate adequate documentation that describes the syntax for passing a range value to a BEx parameter. I've successfully created Document Links to reports using BEx queries that have a parameter that requires a single value, and I've done Document links in non-Bex reports in 3.1 without issues.
Has anyone successfully passed a range value to a BEx paramter? If so, what syntax did you use?
The environment is BI 4.0, sp 2 (14.0.2.439)

Marianne,
Thanks for the heads up on the fixpack. I tried looking at the note # you sent, but a search of SAP Notes says that the note has not been released. However, reviewing the Fixed Issues in fixpack 6 shows the following item:
ADAPT01580012
Link to a WebIntelligence report using syntax OpenDocument fails when target document contains a prompt
based on a BEx variable of type Interval. Error message is "An internal error occurred while calling
'answerPromptEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)".
Behavior is now correct and refresh operation takes into account interval answer passed in OpenDocument URL.
Now we just need to upgrade to fp 2.6 to see if it resolves this issue. I've also opened a ticket with support, so I'll see what they say.

" Performance of Bo Report's in Bex query "

Hai Friend's,
I have Developed a report in Bex query, when I am Presenting the Report to the Business User's,It is taking a huge time. can anybody let me know what are the steps to be taken to reduce the time to display the Report in Bex query.

Hi,
If you are worried about the performance of Underlying BEX query then you can check following things,
1) Use only required characteristics in the initial drilldown and put remaining in Free chars.
2) Use Aggregates or BIA Index if you have BIA available.
3) Enable OLAP Cache
4) Use of precalculated web templates

Problem with a Bex Query Report with Web Intelligence

Hello!
I have a Bex query (with query Bex version 7.0) I'm connecting with Web Intelligence (4.0) but one of the attributes instead of displaying the description shows only the key, and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion.
I wonder if there is a solution for this or if it is a problem of version 4.0 of Web Intelligence.
I await your response,
Greetings!

Hi,
Whereabouts in the application are you seing this problem? (in the query panel conditions, in the prompt list of values, or in the table block? )
also, what do you mean by "and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion" ?
it's worth noting that the "key and text display properties" in the Bex Query Designer do not influence webi. WebI consumes the global infoobject property from BW RSH1.

BEX Query not dispaying results

Hi All,
I think this week am hit with number of issues....as mentioned in my earlier posts am new to SAP BW and having issues.
Issue:
We have a BEx query and it is not displaying results(in Web report). Error is "could not find any records for the given selection......... "
I have checked the Infocube for the given selection in Query and I can display the records where as it is not displaying at all in BEx query results.
I have reactivated the cube to see whether the data flows through but it didn't work.
I tried executing query using RSRT and it is not displaying any results.
I have deleted data in the infocube and loaded it again and it didn't work
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Sandeep

Hi Akshay,
No errors while executing query under RSRT.
Yes we are using time variants and we have included fical variant under characteristic restrictions.

Display BEx query in iFrame (non portal)?

Hi,
We're currently having trouble displaying a BEx query URL in an iFrame outside of the portal. Meaning, we have a different application web server that is attempting to point to the URL from the SAP server.
When we simply paste the URL in the web browser, it's not a problem; so the URL is ok. However, when we include the URL in an iFrame, the portal login screen appears, but soon after you log in, the page loops infinitely through the same request and never gets to the intended page.
Has anyone run into a solution for this situation?
Thanks

Leaf Node access in a BW OLAP Universe - BEX Query

How we can gain access in an universe to just the lowest leaf node in an bex query with hierarchies. If an infoobject has a hierarchy that is ragged, I just want to display that lowest level with a value.
Is there an MDX work around
An example is cost center or account which may be many levels.
The goal is to create a universe such that in webi or explorer, the user has to deal with one field for cost center or account and not 7 levels for each which make it very hard for the end user.
In this case the hierarchy is not important.

Hi,
I assume that you want to say XML traces rather than SQL traces.
We provide SQL for relational databases and SAP BW Infocubes/DSO through Data Federator.
The MDX generated contains only the characteristics and key figures selected in the Query Panel.
However, there were an issue where all key figures were taken into account by SAP BW server even if not all have been selected.
This issue has been fixed in a fix pack (I don't remember which one).

BEx query based on virtual cube donu00B4t display a valid List of Value (LOV)

Hello
I have a problem with an invalid LOV. The scenario is the following; There´s a BEx query based on a virtual cube. The query has an exit variable on caracteristic that is based on 0CALMONTH.
At Universe Designer I simply create a connection, a universe based on this query and export.
At Web Intelligence (also at Live Office), when I try to execute de query, the prompt to fill my exit variable display a list of value that doesn´t match with the values of the caracteristic at the cube.
Actually, the list at the prompt starts with 01.0000 and finishes with 05.0968.
In Universe Designer, the option to edit the list of values is not available. But I think that editing the LOV is not the correct way.
I´ve tried creating a new query based on the DSO that is the source of the virtual cube. In this case, I had a valid list. Unfortunately, I can´t use this DSO.
Did anyone already have this problem?

Hi James,
can you explain what you mean with "input length for that filed" ?
The field in the table is varchar2(120). I coudn't found options for the List of value.
Thanks for your response

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

How to find out which connection is used for access to Bex query?

Hello,
in our BO 4.0 environment we have a lot of different connections to Bex queries.
There exist more connections to one Bex query.
For example to Bexquery1 we can access with 2 connections, connection : BX1 (connection specific for one query) and connection DEVcubes(generic connection to all cubes)
How can I check in Webi report over Bex query which connection is currently used?
Thanks a lot !

Access BEx Query resultset Clientside

How can we manipulate the output of a bex query client side (internet explorer).
We have an output of a query which we would like change before data is exported to excel.
Can we somehow access and change the query resultset client side with e.g.. JavaScript ? Is the resultset stored in an accessible object (clientside).
Thx

I don't have any experience but for someone with good Javascript skills, you can access the Analysis table using xpath expressions. This blog might get you started:

Bex Query timestamp InfoObjects does not display time in Webi

A BW InfoObject, defined as NUMC14 (TIMES), will display data like "09/13/2011 13:40:26" in a Bex Analyzer query.
How do you get this type of display in Webi? Currently, my webi report (based on the Bex query connection) displays the field like "09/13/2011 13"

Hello,
any ideas? Any additional information needed?
