  • Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

    HI Gurus,
    Best  Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
    Prasad

    You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly.  It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection".  You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two.  You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on.  Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
    Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

  • SAP BO Dashboards 4.1 best practice on layout and components

    Dear SCN,
    I have requirement to create a BO 4.1 dashboard with data & Visualization based on a excel sheet which is currently in use as a Mgmt dashboard. The current excel dashboard is having more than 100 KPIs in one view which is readable only if you put in on a slide and view it in full screen by running a slideshow.
    Question 1:
    1. Being the suggested size of the Xcelsius canvas not more than 1024 X 768 so that it is viewable with out scroll bar in BI launchpad or in any browser or in pdf, I am trying to confirm in this forum that the canvas size of 1024 X 768 is the recommended maximum size for the dashboard to get the clear view in any browser/BI launchpad . Pls confirm as it will help me in doing the design for the KPIs and its visualization.
    Question 2:
    1. I am using the BICS connection and accessing the source data from BW. Because the no. of KPIs are more and ranging between 10 cubes and 40 queries as the data is across different modules, I would like to know what is the recommended no. of connections for queries /cubes in dashboard using BICS connectivity which does not affect the performance
    2. For the same dashboard using BICS connection, What is ideal number of components like Charts/Scorecard/Spreadsheet table that is recommended to use to ensure better performance?
    I appreciate your answers which can help the finalization of the dashboard design for this dashboard of data and visualization requirements which is very high when compared to the normal dashboards.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Suman,
    Thanks for your answers.You answers and links which you have attached are helpful and It answered my questions related to canvas size and Connections.
    I am expecting some benchmark numbers as per the best practices with respect to the No. of components to be used to ensure the better loading of the dashboard. As the increase in number of components increase the size of the dashboard and also it requires more time to load the data for the components, I am looking for the number as per the best practice by considering the below points.
    1. When I say the no. of components, I am not considering the components like label, text box,combo box or list box. I am considering the components which is used for visualization and interactive drill down on top of the visualized charts ( For Eg. Column charts, Pie charts, Gauges ).
    2.I am not going to use more calculations/formulas in my dashboards as the values and structure are almost the same with the BEx query.
    3.Having around 10 to 12 connections.
    4.The data sets are not more than 900 rows totally. For any control, we will be binding only 100 rows at the max as the data for the KPIs are summarized at the year/month level at the BW layer.
    Since the KPIs are more, the Visualizations are more and we can't re-use the Visualization charts for most of the KPIs. Currently I am ending up with ~35 charts/ gauges along with other label and selection controls which I will be using to show 100 KPIs with unique visualization requirements and I am going for the tab-wise layout with more dynamic to accommodate and separate logically.
    Hope these details will give clear picture of why I am looking for the Benchmark on No. of components .
    I appreciate your help!
    Thanks and Regards

  • Best Practice for Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Database/Dashboard?

    Hello All-
    I was wondering if anyone had experience with implementing / developing a Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Database in SAP. My company is looking to migrate its existing PFEP solution (Custom developed Excel/Access system) into SAP. If you are unfamiliar, a PFEP is a dashboard view of a part/material that provides various business groups with dedicated views to data from Material Masters, Info Records, and Vendor Master Records and combines it with historical/forecasting information. The goal is to provide a single source to all the part/material settings for a given part.
    Is there a Best Practice PFEP in SAP? Or if this is something that most companies custom develop in ERP or BI?
    Thanks in advance.
    -Ron

    I think you will likely get a response in SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM)
    additionally you might want to do some searches based on SAP Lean Inventory, perhaps Kanban. I am assuming you are not using WM or EWM either?
    Where I have seen PFEP incorporated into the supply chain strategy this typically requires not inconsiderable additions to the alternate UoM in MM dropping of automatic replenishment levels (reorder level) and rethinking aspects of the MRP plan so be prepared or significant additional data management work if you haven't already started on that. I believe Ryder logistics uses PFEP and theirSAP infrstructure is managed by IBM; might be an idea to try and find a linkedin  resource from there. You may also find one of the ASUG supply chain,logistics,  MM or WM sigs a good place to also ask questions and look for answers.

  • The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

    Hello guys
    I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
    the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
    Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
    Is there anything else?
    Please advice
    Thanks

    Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.

  • Best practice to implement different Xcelsius dashboard for different users

    I'm implementing an Xcelsius dashboard that requires to show each individual user with different content (e.g. When a user logins in, the dashboard shows her name and job title, her performance and her subordinate's performance).  I'm just wondering what's the best practice to implement scenario like this?  Thanks.

    Hi Thomas
    What you are looking at is "Row Level Security" within BusinessObjects and the options you have are determined by what type of data you are reporting off of (relational data, OLAP data, BW data, etc.)
    For instance, if you are using relational data with a Universe you could setup a database table with the BusinessObjects username to correspond with their e-mail address or other unique identifier. From there, you could add security to your universe using the @variable('BOUSER')
    That way, any objects created off of the universe (whether it is a Crystal Report, Web Intelligence, BI Web Service, QaaWS, LiveOffice, etc.) will filter the data based on this security model. So any Xcelsius dashboard based on this underlying data will also be filtered.
    And that is just one of the options you have, depending on your data source.

  • What are the best practice to design Dashboard?

    Hi Friends,
    What are the best practice to design Dashboard?
    Thanks

    1) Use section name instead of Title View to name your report. This way sections can be collapsed and user can still see report name.
    2) Enable alternate coloring in tables and pivots for easy readablity and set table and pivot widths to 100% (for reports in dashboards) to reduce white space and achieve a more "professional look."
    3) Use column selectors and view selectors to reduce the width of reports and reduce the amount of columns user sees to a "practical minimum."

  • Practical concept for  best practice documentation / overview SAP BW

    Hello everybody,
    here our current situation. Our Business Warehouse (Version 3.5) is growing and growing. Month by month more and more requirements of subsidiaries and departments should be integrated to the data warehouse.
    Our internal BW-Team and IT-Management want to get more <b>transparency</b> in the daily work:
    Here some questions we are facing in our daily work:
    - How is the <b>typical data flow in a certain case</b>?:
    For example source system then ODS (technical name) then for example data goes to 4 InfoCubes. Some InfoCubes are grouped to a multiprovider. We do queries only on MultiProviders.
    Even the employees who work permanently wit BW have problems to get a good overview.
    - A lot of InfoAreas, InfoObjects, Interfaces and so on.
    - Structure of the whole Data Warehouse
    - <b>Process Chain</b> Mangement overview...
    We don't like the standard tool integrated in BW. What we are thinking is that we need is to create a <b>matrix</b> (Microsoft Excel) and <b>Visualization</b> (Microsoft Powerpoint).
    The Problem is to keep it actual in daily working. That is not confortable and a strict dicpline is needed.
    Something for us (BW-Team) and our IT-Management to understand easily is the main goal. The transparency should increase and the administrative work to achieve that should be faisable. <b>Keep it small and simple.</b>
    I think a discussion should start. What are best practices to handle this situtation?
    Everybody faces the same situation I think. We can profit from each other...
    Any good tools from third parties known and available?
    Some good templates and so on...<b></b>
    I hope to hear from you....

  • Any best practice recommendations for controlling access to dashboards?

    Everyone,
         I understand that an Xcelsius dashboard compiled into a .swf file contains no means for providing access control to limit who can or how many times they can run the dashboard. Basically, if they have a copy of the .swf they can use it as much as they'd like. To protect access to sensitive data I'd like to be able to control who can access the dashboard and how many times or how long they can access it for.
         From what I've read it seems the simplest way to do this is to embed the swf file into a web portal that requires a user to authenticate before accessing the file. I suppose I can then handle how long they can access it from the back end.
         If I do this, is there anyway a user can do something like <right click - save as> on the flash file to save it on their local machine? Is there a best practice means for properly protecting the dashboard?
    Any advice would be appreciated,
    Jerry Winner

  • Best practices for using Query Browser

    Hi,
    I started getting along with "Query Browser" option to embed data directly from Bex queries to the dashboard.
    I am looking for the Best practices which are recommended and needs to be followed from performance point of view and from reporting point of view.
    I went through some of documents but was not convincingly sure about the measures which they suggested.
    So, would be thankful for any help points or documents received in relation with it.

    Hi JK,
    All above links are given general rules and tips & tricks to boost your dashboard performance.
    Keep the dashboard simple and clean, dashboards are for summarized level not to the detailed level.
    try to understand the KPI for the client based on the write your model in paper first and go through the dashboards.
    Maximum of number of rows allowed by the dashboard is 512, you can increase the rows but that too hampers your dashboard, if the result set of the query is too big.
    Connections i have seen people using more than 10 - 15 connections into the dashboards, but these many connections. really your dashboard will take time to retrieve the data.
    Things you need to consider:
    - Reduce the components in your DD.
    - Make the font name similar across the dashboard.
    - Enable the option show loading status in document properties, this will increase your loading time.
    - Use refresh type as "Refresh after components loaded".
    - Use simple formula as if-else & sum,indexes.
    - Remove formatting in your query's.
    These are the few things you can consider while designing the dashboard. Do search in scn and blog there lot many tips and tricks are available.

    Suman
