Analysis OLAP – Paramter

dear experts,
after trying, reading papers und searching the web i need yout help.
i've created an analysis report OLAP based on a bex-query (with pompts). my question:
Is there a way to skip the prompts by passing the parameter und values by the url (maybe via opendocument)? opendocument works fine with Web-I but not with Advanced Analysis for OLAP.
hope someone can help or can post an example url?

Hi,
I can confirm: The situation for A-OLAP is the same as it was for Voyager.
Analysis, like voyager, supports outbound opendoc params (ie pass context to WebI/CR) but not inbound params. The only exception is that you can specify which Voyager workspace to open.
Voyager/analysis supports SAP connection parameters on opendoc, but this is a manual selection in prompts. You cannot programmatically set connection variables.
Today we also support "Jumplinks"... a feature in both Voyager and A-OLAP that allows contextual information to be passed to a pre-defined Crystal Report.
For BI4.1 (end 2012) SAP plans to make A-OLAP more open. This includes supporting SAP's Report-Report-Interface (RRI) and extending the OpenDocument parameters beyond just the workspace name that is supported today.

Analysis for OLAP - HANA - Performance Issue

Hi Experts,
i have a performance issue using Analysis OLAP on HANA view: when i drag a dimension in the background section, is necessary to wait a lot of time and usually BI goes in error with timeout message.
The BI release is 4.1 SP4 and HANA is in SP7.
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
That's a bit odd. How big is that dimension? As you know, when you add a dimension to the background it automatically opens the member selector allowing you to pick the appropriate members.
The member selector can be tuned by changing the properties of the MDAS service. If you look at section 7.7.1 in the Admin guide entitled "Maximum number of members returned when filtering", you'll see how to reduce the number of members returned. This may help with your issue.

YTD calculation from BEx is not working in Advance Analysis for OLAP/OR Office

I have AA for OLAP based on BEx. There are YTD calculation in BEx Designer: User enters Period in variable, and in user exits, the Period Range is populated as "1 ~ UserEnteredValue" in second variable. In BEx, YTD is calculated based on the Restrictive KF for the period range, calculated in User Exit. This is working fine in BEx Analyzer, however in Advance Analysis (for OLAP OR in Ofice), the YTD value is not coming up they way it is in BEx Analyzer...
Anybody has any clue, why??
Thanking all of you in advance

Hello Sharma
If something is working for BEx Analyzer but not for Analysis OLAP or Analysis Office then this typically (but not always) indicates an issue with the BICS (BI Consumer Services) component.
I would suggest you contact support about this so the appropriate logs can be captured and the issue investigated by the BICS team.

OLAP weeks split over months

Hello all
Trying to do a weekly analysis on the resources based on the Portfolio Analysis Olap Cube.
unfortunately, I'm in front of a problem some weeks are split over month which is not giving accurate numbers.
How can I avoid this issue and have 1week by week!
Jérome

Jerome, I do not know of a workaround for this when you are pulling the data from the OLAP cubes. However, if you use a straight SQL query in Excel, you can retrieve week by week data which is not split by year or month. Please see the answer in a previous
forum for instructions:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/55707746-6790-4531-981d-8ee20e99e2b0/time-reporting-in-excel-for-project-server-2010?forum=projectserver2010general
Hope this helps!

Creation of offline cubes from pivot table[Automation]

I have a pivot table on which i can slice data based on 3 different users so i create the offline cube for each of them independently
using Analyse->OLAP Tools->Offline OLAP.
So i need to repeat this process 3 times since each time i only select one user and deselect the other 2 in the offline OLAP offline
cube creation wizard.
My question is that can this process be automated because in case there are ,say 100 users the manual work will be too much.
Can i get information on the plugin in Excel which does the Offline Cube Creation.

Hi,
I have taken the steps that you mentioned.
It works perfectly when the number of dimensions on which i slice data are small(around 10).
However i need to do this operation on around 90 dimensions so as a result i just keep on seeing this:
RUNNING OLAP QUERY ... (PRESS ESC TO CANCEL)
Is there any way out?
Thanks

Design Studio BW SSO User not authorized

Hi all,
I have problem with BW SSO integration on Design Studio. We developed dashboards on top of BW. We have users and they are only authorized to see the data for their own companies and plants. To achieve that, we created OLAP connections with SSO enabled and we have BO/BW integration. The queries work fine in Analysis OLAP.
However, we are having problems with Design Studio. Here is the problem.
1. Create a dashboard lets say with a combo box and a chart.
2. Populate the combo box with the script below:
DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("0COMP_CODE", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 20, "ALL"));
3. In combo box, wirte the code below to filter values on chart:
DS_1.setFilter("0PLANT__0COMP_CODE", DROPDOWN_1.getSelectedValue());
4. Save it on the platform.
5. Open the dashboard on the platform with SAP user
6. By default, in combo box, "ALL" value will be selected. If the user has only authorized to see only 1 or 2 companies, then the chart give "User is not authorized" error message.
7. Select a company from combo box, the chart shows values of the selected company.
8. If the user wants to see the total of the companies authorized to see, then the chart doesn't show but the error message.
Another issue is that each company has plants. If the user wants to seel the data for all plants then he receives the "not authorized" error.
The user should be able the select "ALL" and be able to see the total of companies or plants authorized to see.
If "ALL" is selected for a company:
If a single company selected and ALL plants are selected:
If a single company and a single plant is selected:
BTW, the authorization works fine in BW and with Analysis OLAP tools. The user can see the total of the companies authorized to see.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Zahid - this application has more than one query, correct?
can you try if the authorization issue is occuring also when you have one query only per applications?
Reason I ask is, when using design studio, all queries are executed with merged variables and then I belive the authorisation context is different. I assume you have some special customer exit in the system for the authorisation check - and in case of design studio this can get into a point where the constellation is not authorized.
In such cases you would need to run authorisation trace (I would need to search the transaction).

Drill from Financial Report to SQL Spreadsheet not working

Has anyone had any experience with getting a Financial Report [or Web Analysis OLAP Report] to drill to a Web Analysis SQL Spreadsheet? The Financial Report uses the SQL Spreadsheet as related content. The SQL Spreadsheet does have the column mapping setup to match Essbase Dimensions to relevant relational columns. The financial report does link to the SQL Spreadsheet but the POV criteria does not pass as the where clause when the SQL Spreadsheet opens up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or just an unlucky constellation...
I had the same (or similare) issue with a new installation of 4.1 (after removing 4.0)
Before you run these two scripts again
apex_epg_config.sql (it will call apex_epg_config_core.sql)
apxldimg.sql
open these two files and put the prefix of "APEX_040100." to all calls to wwv_flow_utilities
apex_epg_config_core.sql
apxldimg.sql
So that all these calls looks like APEX_040100.wwv_flow_utilities ....
Run the scripts as SYS again.
Also check if your public apex user is not locked and has a valid password.
Also check whether your XDB user is not locked (I had this problem, however no idea what could have caused it)

Unit in each cell

Hello,
In analysis for olap, the unit or currency is displayed in each cell whereas in analysis office (excel) and in former bex web it was possible to display on top of the column when unique.
I know that the enhancement has been asked several times but I would like to know if this enhancement is planned (maybe available).
Thanks in advance for your ehlp.
Best regards,
Bertrand

Hello Bertrand
In Analysis OLAP the currency, unit and scaling factor all appear with the number in each cell.
At this time there is no near-term plan to change this behaviour.

Automate workbook to generate in PDF with prompts

Hello All,
I have two requirements :
First:
I have date selection in prompt, i need that to be automated. It should throw the result current date (08-07-2014) minus 1.
(Last day data 06-07-2014 - 07-07-2014)
Second :
Possibility to export AAO workbook in PDF automatically.
Is it possible?
Kind Regards
MD

Hello - are you asking about Analysis Office or OLAP?
This was posted in the Analysis OLAP space.

I would do this in the BEx query - BEx is good at doing this today.
Second :

Is it possible?
Analysis OLAP does this today with the Export function
If you are trying to do this in Analysis Office, where I work, we have PDF set up as a printer, and it does the same thing.

BI SDK in Web Dyn Pro- Can't open Connection

hello,
I am developing a Web DynPro component which should connect to a BW 3.5 via BI SDK - XMLA.
As a start i just use the code from the "How to " document for Web DynPro without any changes.
I could deploy the application and it should give me the list of the schemas. instead it returns "Can't open Connection" .
I looked in the Web DynPro Content Administrator and found that the Reference "sap.com/com.sap.ip.bi.sdk.dac.connector.xmla" has under the Status a red light; there are 2 other with green
(sap.com/tcwddispwda, sap.com/tcwdcorecomp).
Since red lights are never a good sign, i would like to know what is the reason for it and how can i fix it ?
I assume there is a direct connection between the "Can't Open Connection" and the red light...
Any useful help is appreciated and will be rewarded

Hi,
   Have you made the configurations to determine the JNDI name of the BI XMLA connector?
   Just check if you have done these steps:
1. Open Visual Administrator.Select
<server node>
->Services
->JNDI Registry.
On the Runtime tab, in the registry list, locate deployedAdapters
->SDK_XMLA
->shareable
->SDK_XMLA.
This path, from the root to the SDK_XMLA leaf node, indicates the fully-qualified JNDI name of the BI XMLA Connector,which is:"deployedAdapters/SDK_XMLA/shareable/SDK_XMLA".
2. Select the server node, and choose
<server node>
->Services
->Connector Container.
3. Locate and double-click the entry for the BI XMLA Connector,sap.com/com.sap.ip.bi.sdk.dac.connector.xmla.BI_SDK_XMLA, to open the connector definition.
4. Select Managed Connection Factory->Properties, and set
the required connection properties as shown
Property:Setting
DataSource:default
Statefulness:false
Language:EN
Password:(password)
UserName:(username)
URL:http://server:port/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla
In order to find out this URL,f or a BW system, start transaction SE37 and execute the function module RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET.
Use the following values for the import parameters of the function module:
I_HANDLERCLASS = CL_RSR_MDX_SOAP_HANDLER
I_PROTOCOL = HTTP
I_MESSAGESERVER =
The URL takes the following form: */sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla.
5. Save the settings.

SAP authentication and SSO into BI4 with multiple SAP systems

We have already setup SAP authentication and SSO between ECC6 and BI4, e.g. to run CR 2011 reports with data based on ECC infosets, or BEx (operational BI on ECC). ECC is the main point of entry for users, so ECC user accounts and role imports are used in BI4.
Now if we add BW to this, with Crystal or WebI or Analysis OLAP sourcing data from BW, can we still leverage detailed authorizations in BW on the corresponding BW user - with user accounts and role imports in BI4 still being ECC-based?

Hi,
Let's say the trust relationship is setup between those systems. Then the simple example is to use Enterprise authentication in BI4, and assertion tickets are issued when making requests to ECC or BW. I assume LDAP/AD authentication would work as well.
>> You also have to setup trust between the BI 4 and ECC & between BI4 and BW. Thats part of the setup for the SSO Token Service.
But does this scenario rule out SAP authentication or not? I was hoping that I can still logon to BI4 with an ECC-issued logon ticket, and then BI4 would nevertheless issue assertion tickets for my BW alias.
>> And that is still possible. Setup the SSO Token Service, setup the aliases for the users. then you could logon with ECC credentials and run a BW report because the token service would then generate the token towards the BW system.

BO 4.0 production deployment recommendations

Hi All,
We would like to understand what would be the good approach to segregate the different services into different physical machine.
When we do the sizing using quicksizer, the output is in SAPS and Memory size for four different tiers.
a) Web App Server
b) Inteligence Tier
c) Intelligence DB Tier
d) Processing Tier
Coming to the questions,
1) The processing tier is expected to consume lots of memory so it is recommended to be put on it's own physical server.
2) Combining the processing server with Intelligence tier - Will this impact the performance of the normal activities like navigating and scheduling in case of processing server getting overloaded?
3) Merging Web App Server and Intelligence services - Will this have any impact in performance of the overall user experience?
4) Do we need to have a separate server for the repository database? Can it not be co-hosted with the other Oracle production databases. What are the things that we need to consider to co-host the database?
5) Usage of VM servers for all these tiers - Any issues in using virtual servers to host all these different services?
In short, we need to be able to bring down the number of servers without compromising the performance and usability. We are looking at deploying BO 4.0 on 100 concurrent user license with all the client tools such as Crystal, WebI, Analysis OLAP, Dashboard and Explorer.
6) Am thinking of proposing one virtual server for (web apps + intelligence) and another for processing server. And recommend to co-host the database repository. The processing server to have 32 GB RAM on 8 or 16 core machine. The web + intelligence services to be hosted on a 8 core 16 GB RAM machine.
7) The processing server - is it good to split them to two different physical server so that we can host different client related services on the different physical server?
I know that I am asking too many questions but I do not find deployment options and recommendations anywhere.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohanraj

Have you looked at the Business Intelligence Platform Planning Guide and Admin guide ?
They have information that will allow you to answer your questions.
This sort of questions fall under what SAP Services do and is almost impossible to answer without intimate knowledge of your requirements, business neeeds and resources available....
In general :
1) The processing tier is expected to consume lots of memory so it is recommended to be put on it's own physical server.
Yes
2) Combining the processing server with Intelligence tier - Will this impact the performance of the normal activities like navigating and scheduling in case of processing server getting overloaded?
It might, depends on resources available to it.
3) Merging Web App Server and Intelligence services - Will this have any impact in performance of the overall user experience?
Usualy yes, again - depends on resources available, the bottleneck will be in disk and network I/O
4) Do we need to have a separate server for the repository database? Can it not be co-hosted with the other Oracle production databases. What are the things that we need to consider to co-host the database?
Recemended way is to have repository DB separare, iside your production Oracle DB's.
5) Usage of VM servers for all these tiers - Any issues in using virtual servers to host all these different services?
Possible, if you fully understand limitations and benefits of VM environments.
6) Am thinking of proposing one virtual server for (web apps + intelligence) and another for processing server. And recommend to co-host the database repository. The processing server to have 32 GB RAM on 8 or 16 core machine. The web + intelligence services to be hosted on a 8 core 16 GB RAM machine.
co-hosting repo DB is bad idea, the rest migth work.
better to have web tier, intelligence and processing separate...
7) The processing server - is it good to split them to two different physical server so that we can host different client related services on the different physical server?
Yes, usualy it is a good idea...

How can i create text elements in business object?

Is this is system landscape in BW....
how data in different formats..flat files for example put into BW...
what is ODS?

Land Sacape mens
We have the 3 systems .R/3 development-R/3 Qa-----R/3 Production
same also BW DevelopmentBw QABw production .
Develop the new objects create cube all work is done is developmet . developmet is completed then transport to QA in QA we check the Testing . if every thing is fine then move to production.
if haveing any problem then move to developmet.
Development system: All the implementation part is done in this sys. (I.e., Analysis of objects developing, modification etc) and from here the objects are transported to the testing system, but before transporting an initial test known as Unit testing (testing of objects) is done in the development sys.
Testing/Quality system: quality check is done in this system and integration testing is done.
Production system: All the extraction part takes place in this sys.
