Ad Hoc Formula Definition in BEx Web

Hello,
I´m searching how to use the smart-input / AdHoc Formulas within the BEx Web (in BEx Analyzer it is not a problem).
I found following statement:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a4/eb1442be645133e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Release 7.0 Support Package Stack 14
I got exactly this system status in my test system, but I could not manage to execute the adhoc formula feature in a query (I don´t have the context formula within calculations and translations) - like it is described here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/0a20fc60585bebe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
Is there something else I got to take care of? Some system setting? Also I got the SAP GUI 710.
Can anybody help me?
Best Regards,
Sandra

Hi,
I just found out that there is a different in step 5 of the Define Exception Wizard between an ad hoc exception created in BEx Web Analyzer and an exception created in Query Designer.
Step 5 is to set characteristic restriction.
I was not aware there is a different between exceptions created in Query Designer and BEx Web Analyzer.
Exception created In Query Designer: In step 5, it stated that "For all characteristics, the exception has no restrictions as long as none of the following settings are selected"
Ad hoc exception created In BEx Web Analyzer: In step 5, it stated that "For all characteristics, the exception affects only the results as long as none of the following settings are selected"
If you have filters applied to some characteristics that are not drill down/across in the query result, you must include them in the characteristic restriction of the exception. Otherwise, the query result will not be affected by the exception.
E.g., Drill down by Plant, filter Fiscal Year by 2008.
In step 5 (of ad hoc exception), must include both Plant and Fiscal Year in the characteristic restriction.

Including the ad-hoc Formula Editor within a tabstrip on a BI7 web template

I'm trying to get the ad-hoc formula editor (available on BEx Web from the axis context menu -> caluclations and translations -> local formulas) included in a tabstrip web item. Is there any way to do this? Alternatively I could create a button that calls the appropriate command to bring up the formula editor (from examining the source it appears to be BI_COMMAND-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=UPDATE&BI_COMMAND-TARGET_DIALOG_REF=FORMULA_EDITOR), but there doesn't seem to be a way to include a custom command in a button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Hello
I have had the same issue, it seems using the role menu makes the system ignore any other objects on the page, as suggested by this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c6/1c7a3b688d3c1de10000000a11402f/content.htm
You can get around the problem either by displaying the role menu in an iFrame, or by using a normal frameset and putting it in its own frame.
Good luck

Key figure definition in BEx gives "Error loading template 0QUERY_TEMPLATE"

Hi,
On a BI 7.0 system I try to run a query in the BEx Analyzer and after I have the result in Excel. I wants to see the key figure definition by right clicking in a data cell.
Then I get this error message after the browser has started up.
Error loading template 0QUERY_TEMPLATE
Notification Number BRAIN 276
Any ideas how this can be?
Kind regards, Bjarne

hi,
Please check the below path in BI and set the template "0ANALYSIS_PATTERN" there:
SPRO ->SAP Netweaver -> BI ->Settings for reporting and analysis ->BEX Web -> Set Standard Web Templates -> Ad-hoc analysis -> set the above template and save it.
check wether it works afterwords or not.
This is the standard web template called every time when we execute our query's.
Thanks

Using of Bex Web Analyzer as Adhoc query?

Hi,
can we use the Bex Web analyzer as a preferred tool for designing the Adhoc query?
Points willl be definitely assigned.

Hi Vasu,
You can create an appropriate ad hoc query to specify parameters for Web target iViews.
In logical SAP R/3 Systems of Release 4.6B or higher, transaction SPO0 contains an Ad hoc Query tab. This uses the concept of InfoSets, which are usually based on table joins or logical databases, to create abstract definitions for fields that the system can read. You have to enter parameters for the individual fields. The ad hoc query delivers values that can be passed to the portal.
Transaction SPO0 also contains a buffer for ad hoc queries. This improves system performance by avoiding the need to put together the query every time it is used.
You can delete the contents of this buffer by choosing Delete Buffer for AdHoc Query on the start screen of transaction SPO0. This removes the index entry and the generated queries from the system.
Hope this will help you.
Kind regards,
Praveen

Drop-Down-Box (F4 Input Help) for formula variable in BEx Analyzer (BI 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to get a drop down box for a ready for input formula variable in the BEx Analyzer (not BEx Web!)?
We want to let the users choose scaling factors 1, 1000 or 1000000 (implemented via this formula variable). In the settings of the formula variable you can only choose a default value but there seems to be no option to provide all three factors in a drop down box like the ones for characteristic value variables.
We could prevent other entries in the variable pop up via customer exit (i_step 3) but the business is wishing an F4 input help like the ones for characteristic values.
Thanks for your help,
Marco

Hi Macro,
Its not possible to get drop down box for a ready for input formula variable. Because it is possible only for characterstic value variables but not formula variable.u donnot get any drop down box like ready for input for formula variable.

Error while generating PDF - in Bex Web

Hi Experts,
I am currently having the issue that I receive the error "Error while generating PDF" when using the "Print Version" functionality. This problem only occurrs for the Bex Web Query. I know that the ADS service is configured correctly- The webservice test is successful and other applications (Guided Procedures, MSS) also use it successfully.
Please see below the excerpt from the default trace:

Hi Jan,
Most possible causes for encountering this issue are:
Possible cause:
- The ADS is installed on a plattform, that is currently not supported by SAP for ADS. Please check the avaliablity at: Product Availability Matrix
- Mixing of different Netweaver releases (NW04 and NW04s) -> This is unfortunatelly not possibble the J2EE engine release has to match with the ABAP stack release in order connect them properly.
- The ADS SP level does not match the J2EE engine SP level. -> Please update the software components to have the same support package level.
Hope this helps!!

Arafat

Difference Between BEx Web and Web Intelligence

Hi,
Could someone help me understand why someone would want to choose SAP BW BEx Web over Web Intelligence (apart from license issues)?
Web Inteligence is a very strong tool from a UI point of view and has can do most of the functions that SAP BW BEx Web can. WebI allows users to actually create your own reports.
A couple of drawbacks with WebI
- I can see is that Web Intelligence does not handle SAP BW hiearchies very well (i.e. they are not shown in a hierachical manner).
- WebI holds the data within the report which can mean long run times. BEx Web only brings back data for fields that are shown in the report
I have heard people saying that BEx Web is an OLAP tool and WebI is not. How does this make a difference?
Thanks

Hi,
take a look here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com//irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d00ae0a1-8086-2d10-118c-f35b8e604bc4
BEx is an OLAP Tool and Web Intelligence for sure not - means that Web Intelligence is not designed for multi-dimensional concepts.

Problem with '-' (dash) in BEx web analyzer

Hi All,
we are having a strange problem with 0BPartner and 0Material. Our BPartner and Material have '-'(dash) sign as part of key. While selecting this BPartner/Material in Bex Analyzer, we do not have any problem, but when we try to select the same Bpartner/Material in BEx Web Analyzer, it puts an escape char in from of the dash. For eg:
If i select the Bpartner "1234-5467" then in Web Analyzer selection box, it is displayed as "1234\-5467" in the selection screen.
If i do a search on 1234-5467, it returns zero value.But if i do a search on 1234\-5467, then i get the search hit.
If i enter the Bpartner in the selection window directly and If i do not put the escape char, then it considers the input as range 1234 - 5467 and returns me no value in the report output.
Has anyone had this type of issue? Please respond.
Thanks
Niveda

Thanks Olivier,
Sorry if you had misunderstood my question. They are 2 different Info objects. and i am having problem searching values in each one of these info objects.
Let me explain it with an example.
Scenario:
Let say company defines material in the following format.
"123", "456", "788", "345"....etc.
And I have a report which has material as input selection.
To run this report with single material i enter "123" in the selection screen
To run this report with a range of materials, I need to enter 123 - 456 in the selection.
I have no Issues
Scenario 2.
Consider a case if the materials are defined in SAP as "001-1234", "987-234"
"123-234" etc.
In this scenario, to run the same report for 1 material, i will enter 001-1234. But now the question is how will BW system interpret this material entry.
Is this 1 single material(001-1234) or a material range (001 - 1234)??
We have issue here. The system considers this material "001-1234" as a range (001 to 1234) instead of single material and gives me zero output.
Any help??

Characteristic attribute does not show correctly on BEx Web Analyzer

Hello everyone!
I'm working on a report in BEx Web Analyzer wich has the characteristic 0EMPLOYEE. When I call the context menu for this characteristic and select properties, I get a list of it's attributes. I select one of them for display.
The problem is, the value shown is not the correct one. It's an "old" value.
I change the employee's attribute in R/3 via PA30;
I succesfully update the change in BW (0EMPLOYEE master data);
The value shown is the previous one.
Is there any buffer between the BW system and a BEx Web Analyzer query wich I need to force-clear in order to see the correct data?
Best Regards,
Luís Andrade.

Thanks for your response!
It was a buffer issue. I solved it by simply refreshing the query with different selection conditions to force the system to read data from the BW system.
Best Regards,

Need more fields to be displayed on a single page in BEx Web

HI All,
I have developed a query in BEx Designer. This quer has 15 fields.
When i execute the query in BEx Web, it displays all the results. The problem here is that it displays only 4 fields data on a single page. I need to click on the next button at bottom right hand corner of the screen and it displays the next 4 or fields data.... again i need to click on the next button to check the remaining fields data. This is becoming a pain to check/validate the data displayed. Also the client is not happy about navigating so many screens to see all the data. he wants to see all the fields in single page.
Is there any way to change any settings so that all the fields / atleast 10 fields can be seen on a single page instead of clicking on the next button to see all the data.
Reports are developed on BI 7.0.
Thanks in advance

Hi Maddy,
for this issue you can use WAD 7.0. There you can set the numbers of columns and rows which are displayed easily within the analysis item. You can also determine if you want to have scroll bars or paging tabs (like in Query Designer).
Brgds,
Marcel

Launching a Bex web report in KM in a new window

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to configure KM so that it would launch a Bex web report in a new window
instead of being displayed in the innerpage area. The Bex web report is stored in a KM folder.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Regards,
Mel Calucin
Bentley Portal Architect

Hi Mel,
If you have already assigned the Bex report to a role, then you can open the bex iview and edit the property "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
If the report is still not created and is existing in the KM you can create a KM navigation iview or KM document iview and specify the document path where the iview is exisiting OR you can open the bex report, capture the URL of it and create a URL iview for the same... you might want to refer to this thread for more details.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/thread?threadID=1260067&tstart=0
And when the iview is ready and the content is getting displayed accordingly, if you want to open the iview in a new window instead of the portal content area, you would have to follow the instructions given above ie to edit the property of iview "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
Good Luck!

How to increase the number of rows to be displayed in BEx Web Analyzer

hi,
I am viewing reports using BEx Web analyzer option. It is displaying only 24 rows of data at a time. How to increase the number of rows? do i need to any kind of settings?
pls reply.

Hi,
I think the standard template in 2004s is named 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN. You can find it in Web Application Designer, open, and search for the technical name. If you want to change the number of rows or columns, you can find this setting near the bottom of the XHTML view of the template:
<bi:BLOCK_COLUMNS_SIZE value="4" />
<bi:BLOCK_ROWS_SIZE value="17" />
Then just save, and ignore the error messages.

Hello,
You can download these components from Service Market Place (service.sap.com/swdc) and:
Download -> Support Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group -> "Support Packages and Patches" -> "SAP NetWeaver" -> "SAP NETWEAVER" -> "SAP NETWEAVER 2004S" -> "Entry by Component" -> "BI Java":
BI BASE SERVICES 7.00
BI WEB APPLICATIONS 7.00
You have to download the SP that equals your APAP SP.
Normally, these SCAs will be installed with installation of "BI Usage Type" of the J2EE engine.
