Access to BEX Query

Hi,
A user has been asking for access for running one of the query in BEX designer.
How do you grant access to a user for running a particular query in designer.
Can some please guide me.
Thanks.

Hi,
If the report is assigned to specific role then you will have to assign that role to the required user then only he will be able to access that query, but if report is not assigned to any role then you will have to give the general developer or read access to user.
Using AGR_HIER and RSRREPDIR tables you can check whether report is assigned to any role or not.
Regards,
Durgesh.

No of users accessing a bex query

HI Bw guys,
we want know no of users accessing our Bex query.Is there any procedure to find out that.Please give the solution for us because we are hurry about this.
Thanks and regards
Sreenivas.

Hi Srinivas,
If your BI Admin Cockpit is Working Fine and getting loaded to 0TCT_MC01 this cube, then goto RSRT and Run this Query
0TCT_MC01/ZQUERY_FRONT_END_OLAP
The Count shows the number of hit for those queries for that month.
Similarly there are queries for day wise also.

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 !
Rudolf

Hi Rudolf,
Your requirement can be achieved using QueryBuilder.
Please refer to following QueryBuilder step-by-step post by Manikandan:
http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog/2012/10/11/businessobjects-query-builder-queries
In bove post, Go to Universe Queries section -> All webi report using one connection
In case you dont know how to use QueryBuilder, please refer to following post:

Please let us know if you get any doubt.

GetSelectedMember does not work on BEx Query Structure

Hi
Has anyone seen the following behaviour:
I have a BEx query
I created a design studio application that accesses the BEx query
The application displays a column chart. When you select a column, it 'jumps' to another tab that displays the detail in a table.
I used the following std. script
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
TABSTRIP_1.setSelectedTabIndex(1);
My issue is: when my Bex query uses a structure as a source for the chart, then getSelectedMember does not seem to provide the selected structure value (member) i.e. a simple structure filtered by characteristic ZBCFLG005.
However, when I change my BEx query by removing the structure and simply reporting the characteristic ZBCFLG005 in the rows, then getSelectedMember works i.e. provides the selected structure value (member).
How do I get Design Studio to read the member value from the BEx structure or is this a potential bug?
Thx

Hi Stephen,
I do not think this is a bug, I have used characteristic structures quite extensively without having an issue.
Are you using setfilter against a characteristic or against a characteristic structure?
In your example, you are using a characteristic in both, to filter from, and to filter to:
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
But if you use a characteristic structure, you should also use it also in bith from and to, e.g.:
DS_DET.setFilter( "00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( '00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8' ) );

Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

Hi there,
I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

BO Universe on BeX Query in Lumira

Hi All,
I have a requirement of accessing a BeX query in Lumira and do visualizations on it. As Lumira is not capable of accessing BeX query directly, I think, I would need to create a universe on InfoCube, for that BeX query, and then consume that universe in Lumira. Thereafter, I would need to create different datasets for different queries.
Now, I have two questions:
1. Is this approach correct? Is there any other more efficient methos than this?
2. Can I create a universe on BeX query directly? Is it possible?
When I'm following first approach (universe on InfoCube using IDT) and trying to consume that universe in Lumira, I am getting below error:
And when I'm following 2nd approach (universe on BeX query using UDT), I am not able to view that .unv in List of Available universes in Lumira.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Purnima

Explanation on the error you faced:
The data acquisition of medium-large, large, and very large datasets from UNV or UNX universes is not supported on default installations of both SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platforms 4.0 and 4.1.
It is recommended for customers that want to acquire such datasets to install a SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform (SAP BIP) server dedicated to SAP Lumira and significantly increase the value of the Maximum Character Stream Size of the Web Intelligence Processing Server on that particular server. Note that increasing this value on a running SAP BIP server can impact the memory consumption and performance of any BI clients tool running on that installation, particularly Web Intelligence. While this practice is not formally discouraged, we advise customers implementing this solution that they might face memory consumption increases and longer document data refreshes so they will need to monitor the SAP BIP server's behavior adequately to control the impacts.
Can you try to place some filters to limit the data volume retrieved?
Best regards

Crystal Reports - Problem with too long BEx Query technical variable names?

Hello!
I have Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 and the SAP BO Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 installed and want to access a BEx query on a BW system within my Crystal Report.
The problem is that the name of the BEx variable is not displayed correctly (just "[]" is displayed for the variable name) as a parameter within Crystal Reports when I import the query. Furthermore I can't navigate through the fields of the query within Crystal Reports.
The technical names of the BEx query-variables have a length of 12 characters.
The interessting thing is that if I change the technical names of the BEx query variables to a maximum length of 8 characters everything works fine.
I use the SAP toolbar within Crystal Reports 2008 to create the report and have the "MDX-driver"-setting selected.
Has anyone ever had the same problem? Any suggestions?
I don't want to change the technical names of the variables of my queries...
thanks,
Dominik

Hi!
Just fixed the problem: The "Transports" for the Integration Kit had to be imported at the BW-System

UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION "CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE" when runnign BEx Query

Hi,
We have a user who is using the Accounts Payable report. User is able to access the BEx query, run the query but when the user is trying to move the company code from free characteristics to rows BEx is throwing the following error:
An error occurred in the communication with the BW server.
Due to this, the connection had to be closed
Detailed Description:
An exception occurred that was not caught.
When i checked the ABAP dumps for this user, there is a dump with UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION "CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE" .
Can anyone hlep me understand this problem. The reports when executed by me works fine. We tried reinstalling the front end for the user but that did not resolve the problem.If any one has seen this problem for BEx reporting and if any notes are applicable
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Vijay

Hi,
please try this one:
- clean the system setup, temp files, temp internet files
- start query designer -> open this query -> check the query
- executing in BEx web
- go to RSRT2 -> generate query -> execute in SAP GUI
- start system trace while executing
Best regards

BW - Alternative for # (hash/pound)sign in bex query output to Microstrategy

Hello team,
We have a requirement to display BEx report output to the reporting tool Microstrategy. They are accessing the BEx query as the source. The issue we are facing is :- when there is no value for a characteristic, it displays a # sign in the report. This is the normal behavior of SAP BW. But Microstrategy is not able to access this pound/hash symbol and they want us to display a blank space instead of # sign. I was wondering whether there is any alternative for displaying blank space instead of hash/pound sign???

Hi Jerry,
Yeah, I think that's the only way to maintain it..
OR
How do you load data to your MASTERDATA object? You can just include "SPACE" value in the EXCEL file (if your datasource is a FLATFILE) or make a "SPACE" value in the transformation level..

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:

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 ;-)

Can I directly access BEX query from web version

Hi expert,
Can I directly access BEX query from web version ? I know we can access bex query from webi rich client.
Many Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, you can access BEx query via BICS connection (OLAP Connection).
In SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 you have multiple options to connect your SAP BusinessObjects BI client to your SAP NetWeaver BW system.

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).

Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

Hi Gurus,
I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
Thanks,
Shak.

I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

API to access query structure / bad performance Bex query processor

Hi, we are using a big P&L query structure. Each query structure node selects a hierarchy node of the account.
This setup makes the performance incredible bad. The Bex query processor caches and selects per structure node - which creates an awful mass of unnecessary SQL statements. (It would be more useful to try to merge the SQL statements as far as possible with an group by account to generate bigger SQL statements.)
The structure is necessary to cover percentage calculations in the query, the hierarchy is used to “calculate” subtotals by selecting different nodes on different levels.
I am searching now for a different approach to cover the reporting requirement - or - for a API to generate out of the master structure smaller query structures per area of the P&L. It there any class to access the query structure?
We tried already to generate data entries per node level (duplicating one data record per node where it appears with an characteristic for the node name). But this approach generates too many data records.
Not using hierarchy nodes would make the maintenance terrible. To generate "hard" selections in the structure out of the hierarchy an API to change the structure be also useful.

The problem came from a wrong development of exit varibale used in Analysis Authorization
