CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
hi,
I am new to this environment and have a question,
If there are 2 universes of absolute same structure and objects, can the WebI reports built on one universe accessed from the other.
I mean is there any way we can change the source(universe) of a report.
Please help me with this question.
Thanks.

I know we can do this on Desktop Report -
> click on view data -> switch to definition tab -> click on three dots and change to the other universe. It will tell you if there is any problem in switching the universe and then you can chage the universe locally and then achieve the same ion the repository later.

  • Reg accessing the webi reports from visual C#

    Hi,
        I m using visual studio 2005 c#.Can some one throw lights on how to access the webi reports using this environment....
    Thanks & Regards

    Thank you for you reply! So there is no way to access a Crystal Reports Server from an arbitrary application using URLs out of the box? I would have to implement this "automated access" feature inside the server by myself. Is this correct?
    If this is the case, I think I will do the whole report generation without a dedicated Crystal Reports Server. I have compared different alternatives for replacing the old RDC component of the C++ application described above. I think the best way would be to replace it via the JRC API of CR4E 2.0. In this case, I would have to access the Java API via JNI or by calling an external Java program, which generates and exports the reports.
    In both cases (CR Server vs. JRC API) I would have to implement new application logic. But a dedicated Crystal Reports Server needs to be maintained and administered... And I think the Crystal Reports Server would be a bit oversized for my purposes (generating and exporting reports)...
    If somebody has got other suggestions for replacing the RDC component (CR XI R2) inside a C++ application in order to use this application under Linux, I would be thankful .

  • Access 2013 Web reporting seems to be missing

    I have a simple request from a user to print out a list of the database in a nicely formatted form. Should take 10 minutes (or so I thought).  The version is Access 2013 web.
    It appears that this simple request is not easily done.  There appears not to be a reporting function in the Web version of Access.  I spent a long time looking for it and decided that it just isn't there.
    For my second choice I decided to deploy the desktop version and create the reports there, but can't get a connection to the SQL Server where the Access Web App stores my data in SharePoint.
    I found a web link showing me how to hook up Excel to the SQL server supporting the web app database.  I have gone to the Web Access FILE\INFO screen and selected the Manage Connections section.  Followed the instructions
    for enabling a read only connection and then copied and pasted the server, database name, username and password into Excel using the "From other sources" button, then selecting the "From Data Connection Wizard", Selected other/advanced
    and then SQL Server Native Client 11.0.   It does not find the server when I test the connection.  I constantly get a time out.
    I am using a 365 SharePoint server to host my access web site.  I called 365 Tech support and spent hours trying to work this out with people that didn't know anything about Access.  The SharePoint people didn't understand the problem of not
    being able to connect and was eventually told that it wasn't a feature they offered.
    As an aside, with 18 years experience in developing Access applications, I am looking at other products to replace Access.  I didn't jump into Access 2010 web because of the way SharePoint handled the database, but this is worse. Hate to walk away
    from the experience I have, but seems I have been left little choice.

    See if this blog post that our support team created helps you with the connection information. This can create the desktop Access application linked up to the Access 2013 web app tables you have.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_access_support_team_blog/archive/2014/03/24/how-to-make-external-connections-to-an-access-web-app-new.aspx
    Also, you might just try clicking the Create Reports button in the Access web app client interface and Access will create the reporting database for you with links to the web app tables. On the File menu (when using the Access web app in client) make sure
    to click the option to Allow Any Location under the Manage button. After that, just click the Create Reports button on the File menu (right above the Manage button) and wait a few seconds. Access will create a new desktop database linked up to all of the Access
    web app tables. You can then create as many reports or other desktop objects as you like.
    Hope that helps,

  • Multiple access level Webi Reports

    Hi,
    We have Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.4. Our problem is that we want to asign to the same user diferent levels of visualization for a webi report, but if we asign the security at application level (WebIntelligence) the access levels applies for all reports and if we assign the access level at folder level it doesn´t applied to the visualization of the report. Basically we want that a user see a WebiReport without refresh the data and the same user saw a diferent report in a diferent folder with the capability to do this action.
    Is this possible??
    Thanks a lot.

    Hello,
    I apologize for not replying earlier. I tried to reproduce what you mentioned. InfoView kept crashing on my end when I disable right-click.
    In any case, you mentioned that disabling right-click only works when applied on on the application level (for Webi). We can work with this itself.
    Again, for sake of simplicity, lets assume that we have only two access levels.
    1. Right_Click_Disabled
    2. Toolbar_Disabled
    Also, lets assume that a specific user requires the Right_Click_Disabled access level on Rep_1 in Folder_A and the Toolbar_Disabled access level on Rep_2 in Folder_A.
    For this, you'll need to create two groups. Lets call them Right_Click_Disabled_Grp and Toolbar_Disabled_Grp. Add the user to both groups. Also apply access level Right_Click_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Right_Click_Disabled_Grp (principal).
    Similarly, apply access level Toolbar_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Toolbar_Disabled_Grp (principal).
    Now, give both groups View access on Folder_A. So, the user will have the most restrictive access of the combination of ViewRight_Click_DisabledToolbar_Disabled for all Webi reports in Folder_A.
    Now, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, the user requires Right_Click_Disabled access. So, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, for principal Right_Click_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Right_Click_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_1. Similarly, for Rep_2 in Folder_A, the user requires Toolbar_Disabled access. Again, for Rep_2, for principal Toolbar_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Toolbar_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_2.
    Summary:
    Groups
    Right_Click_Disabled_Grp
    Toolbar_Disabled_Grp
    Access Levels
    Right_Click_Disabled
    Toolbar_Disabled
    Let me know if you have any questions.Also, note that I haven't tested this.
    Best.

  • Providing un-secured access to a web report.

    Hello Experts,
    We have been sending out 'Load Status' emails on a daily basis for various BW loads. Recently we discontinued this process and set up a report based on one of the statistics cube. We got out the link for this web-report to all the users in our daily load status distribution list.
    The problem now is that when you click on the link, it pops out a window asking for the log-on information to our production system. But it looks like a few of the users do not have access to the production system and are hence unable to access this web-report.
    Is there any way to allow un-secured access to this particular web-report to all users i.e.without a screen asking for log-on information?Is it possible to set up a generic user id for this report that allows all the users to access this report without actually giving them access to our production system?
    Thanks
    Arvind

    Arvind,
    What is your BI system version ?
    if it is 3.x - then the URL will have a link to your server followed by a Question mark "?" and then some parameters.
    The value till the ? mark is the Web service for the same - you can make this Anonymous in SICF but then this would mean that all queries can be accessed through this URL ...
    else create an RFC enabled function module based on RRW3_Query_View_data and then use this for your query and expose the same as a web service and make it anonymous ... or have a BSP page to do the same....

  • Dashboard with Webi Report link  - Cannot access external data

    Dear Gurus,
    I've a  dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
    All works fine for the group: Administrators.
    If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
    Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
    Universe,
    the Connection
    Dashboard itself,
    WEBI Application
    Webservices
    Still it does not work.
    As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
    I've attached the screen shot for your reference
    Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

  • Live office database errors in Citrix - underlying WebI reports work fine

    Hi,
    We have a live office report with 30 tabs in the excel file i.e. 30 webi report parts in it. It accesses 20 webi reports, each built on a BEX query.
    Please see below the error which users get while running the report in Citrix environment. The underlying WebI report has no database errors, and we were able to run the Live Office reports at the same time on LAN. The Citirx users get these database/auth errors intermittently, on different tabs of the report at different times - the underlying BO reports are error free and users have proper rights to execute them.

    Hi,
    BO Version is BO XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.1
    Datasource - BEX queries BW Relese 701, support pack level 8
    We have made users login to Infoview and checked that they are able to execute the WebI reports. Also, earlier they were able to run all reports, so there is no access problem.
    These errors started occuring when we had to refersh BO Universes after some of the BEX queries changed. We even asked users to stop using the excel files on which they used to get errors, thinking the files may be corrupt. Then we sent them new files which we had successfully refershed at our end. But still they get these errors in their environment.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

  • Best tool to reduce the network bandwidth for WEBI reports

    Hi Experts,
    We have a central BO XI server installed in Head Office. Few users are needed to connet to Head Office from their place (Regions) to access the WEBI reports.
    For this we have two options to refresh the report.
              1. BO InfoView
              2. Web Intelligence Rich Client
    My question is , which is the best way to reduce the internet bandwidth. Since my users are on remote location and doesn't have good link, which one is the best option to reduce the bandwidth consumtion.
    Regards,
    Suresh

    If you're launching Webi Rich Client in 3-tier (ZABO) mode there should be no difference from Infoview refresh, as WRC will utilize same webi report servers for refresh as Infoview does.
    If you use 2-tier mode with WRC, then refresh will be local, using local connection to the reporting DB.
    I'd say Infoview will be less bandwith intensive and you will be sending only structured and prepared data tot he client browser, not the rough data report needs.
    To further decrease bandwith, you can design your server infrastructure to have regional processing, that way most communicatyions with be local and requests go to central location only for main data...

  • Access from WebI/ Universe to SAP Query with user who has analysis authenti

    Hello together,
    I try to run and build a WebI report which is build on a universe based on SAP BW query. The user has restricted access to the data provider on which the SAP query is build. This restriction is based on analysis authentification (SAP BI 7.0) if I start the SAP query in BW the user has only restricted access to the data in the data provider (on which the SAP query is build). If I start the WebI report the user has full access to the data. I checked the authentification and in my opinion there is no other authentification in SAP BW which extends the restrictions.
    Has anyone an idea why the authentification doesn't work?
    Greetings Janine

    Hey here,
    I m creaing my universe on top of Infocube or multiprovider.
    >> The recommendation path is to use BW queries with the necessary Authorization Variables leveraging your BI Authorizations.
    For eg:
    I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
    Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
    User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
    >> This is part of BI Authorizations in BW.
    Here are my queries:
    1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
    >> assuming you follow the 2 steps mentioned above (Query and authorization variables) - yes
    If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
    >> Data level security is part of your BI authorizations in BW.
    In a nutshell, BO alone can't do that, one has to set up at BI level.
    Hope clarified all your doubts.
    Gracias...!!

  • Problems access to a web application (Web Interface or Web report)

    Hi,
    We found problems with the access to web application. Some users have problems with direct links to the web applications(Web Interface or Web reporting), when they click on the link an error message appears, the message displays the following text:
    "Cannot open file Bex?sap-language=ENbsplanguge=ENcmd=idoc_TE.."
    Clicking in details the message is "No Access to specified file"
    For this users the access to excel reporting is correct, the message appears when they click on the direct web links through the browser or directly in BW system, but if they type the URL they can access. Other users can use the direct web link without problems.
    I highly appreciate any help or idea about how to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
