BEX Exceptions

Hi Experts,
I've created some exceptions in a BEX (7.0) query to display colours in a third KF.
I mean, the exceptions are defined over one KF, but colours are displayed over a different one.
The issue I am facing is when defining a single exception (i.e. Good 1 for values GT) everything is working fine, but when adding some more conditions, such as Bad1 or Critical 1, no colour is diplayed.
I've fully checked that conditions are not merged, I mean values are only contained in one single condition.
Could anyone of you tell me the clue to define such exceptions?
Thanks
Regards,
Albert

Hi Erwing,
I have the following:
Good 1 --> GE 100
Bad 1 --> BT [1;99]
In Definition tab --> KF to be displayed with colours
In Display tab --> KF (Hide) to be applied when comparing the exceptions
KF to be compared is a formula, giving value 99, but no colour is displayed.
PS: I know it's a bit rare to use Definition tab for the KF to be displayed, and Display tab for the KF to compare, but this is how it works, since I have other KFs like this showing good results.
Thanks again - I really appreciate your help
Regards,
Albert

Problem about Bex Exception

Hi All,
I have some problems with bex exception. In my query, I have 3 columns (the third one is a rate calculated from the first (C1) and second columns (C2)). I have a characteristic in row which lists the different values. Sometimes, I have no value for C1 and C2 and also, the value rate is space (thatu2019s normal behaviour). I must highlight some rate by
If rate < 55         bad
If rate => 55      good
I did an exception
Bad        except1    BT      0 to 54
good      except2    GE      55
That works fine but my problem is :
The rate cells with a space value are also highlighted with the bad colour. Have you some idea to avoid this behaviour ?
C1                        C2                                                 Rate
1000                         5                                               200   (C3)
100                        20                                                5    (C3)
space                              space                               space   (C3)
1st C3 is green
2nd C3 is red
3rd C3 is also red (I want to leave blank)
Thanks fot your help.

Hi,
If you are in BW 3.5 then you can make us of class interfaces for this scenario and it was explained here in this article.

SDK : getting the value of a BEX exception

Hello,
Is it possible to retrieve the value of a BEX exception in the SDK ?
In Design Studio, the method getConditionalFormatValue gives the possibility to get the BEX exception.
However, I haven't found a way to do it via the SDK.
If I look in the documentation, I find some properties such as ScalingFactor, unitOfMeasure, formatString.... but nothing on Exceptions.
Has anyone tried this ?
Thanks.
Joel

Given that you declared ss namespace (otherwise it will throw an error) you have two options:
xml.Cell[0].Data - will output:
Absorption Areas
xml.Cell.Data will output:
<Data ss:Type="String">Absorption Areas</Data>
<Data ss:Type="String">Drain fields where left over liquid from the septic system soak into the ground.</Data>
So, xml.Cell.Data[1] will output:
Drain fields where left over liquid from the septic system soak into the ground.

BEx Exceptions Display Problem

Hello,
I have next problem with displaying my exceptions in BEx query:
I have 2 visible keyfigures in columns in my query: A and B. I need to build my exception condition on the A one's data and I need to colour a column under the B one.
But when I execute the query I get filled cells under the B keyfigure, but the condition is applied to the B one also. I need help on this question.
My exceptions settings:
General bookmark:
"Exception is active" is selected
Condition: Bad if >0 and <1
Definition bookmark:

Hi.
If your B key figure is calculated using value of A key figure you can do the following:
Suppose, B and A key figures have dependency like
B = 2 * A + 1
Since A must lie in (0, 1), then B must lie in (1,3) when A takes values from interval (0, 1),
that is now you should
replace condition:
Bad if >0 and <1
to
Bad if >1 and <3
and apply it to column B only. ( Definition tab, Exception is defined on field ).

BEX Exception with NetStream

Hi,
We have a flex component, which need to simultaneously stream upto 16 CCTV camera streams. We are using a Media Server(Wowza) to convert the RTSP stream to RTMP and display in flex.
Initially we tried the video display component, available with the flex framework..but when we were streaming more streams the application hanged and the PC monitor started to flicker. because some of the camera's will be not reachable in our deployment
Hence we removed the videodisplay component and wrote our own custom classes and add the video component at run-time. We are creating a single netconnection object and multiple netstream objects(one per CCTV/surveillance camera stream).
video = new Video(videoWidth, videoHeight);
video.name = "camerafeed";
video.attachNetStream(netStream);
addChild(video);
But after a while we are getting BEX (Buffer Overflow Exception)..
Appreciate if somebody can explain the maximum limit of the video component and the limits for the number of netstreams that can be created in one netconnection?.
Why is the VideoDisplay Flex component not able to switch between multiple camera's and display multiple streams?
Our PC is windows 7, having AMD Radeon H6650 graphics card.
Thanks,

Capture BEx exceptions in a class (superclassCL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE)

Hi....
I am trying to capture the exceptions defined in the BW BEx Reports in a z-class (superclass - CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE) in a variable or something.
This is actually to change the properties of a table in Web Applcn. acc to the exceptions specified by altering the cell content in the class(Transaction - SE80).
Is it possible to store the exceptions in a variable in the class???

Hi,
You can acheive this through using the CAPTION_CELL method and CHARACTERISTIC_CELL methods.
We need to use CAPTION_CELL method to merge headers and then the other one to merge char values.
For detail info refer these links:
Merging the values of two columns into one column BW Report
You can make use of the coding and methodlogy that was used in this below article.

Changing colors of BEx exceptions?

Is it possible to change the colors of the exceptions within bex for good, critical and bad? I want to make sure the color is printing safe.

Hi Vi Tran,
1. Only 9 predefined exception colours are there. So you have to choose among them.
2. Yes, it is possible to use [BT] for negative numbers. When you use BT for negative numbers, make sure you use the range as From Value is Lower value and to value is greater value. for your example 0 and -5, use the range as
     Alert Level     Operator     From Value     To Value
          Bad1          BT               -5                    0
Ex     Bad2          BT                   -10               -5
Hope this will help.
Thanks,

Bex Exception Aggregation in 3.5 equivalent to 'TOTAL'

Hi All,
Can anyone help me in getting a functionality equivalent to exception aggregation 'TOTAL' in BW 3.5.
I have a requirement which can only be fixed using the exception aggregation 'TOTAL', my bad in my current client they dont have BI 7.0. So can anyone tell me what is the equivalent function of 'TOTAL' in BW 3.5.

I need to develop a report which will show Org unit & degree (education data) wise head count and annual salary.
As the education records for an employee will be more than one, the annual salary will be doubled or tripled in the DSO or cube.
If I do an average of annual salary based on employee the overall result goes wrong.
Say for example, empl 20045789 as three record with KF value 10,000, the result in the report I see as 30,000.
SAY in the backend
EMPLOYEE    | Degree | Annual Salary
20045788 |     A | 50,000
20045788 |     B | 50,000
20045789 |     A |10,000
20045789 |     B |10,000
20045789 |     C |10,000
In the query I get it as
Org Unit |      Employee |     Annual Salary | Average(Annual salary/ Number of employee)
100001 |           20045788 |     100,000 |          50,000
100001 |          20045789 |     30,000    |          10,000
overall result                130,000 |          26,000 (130,000/5)
The expected result is 50,000 + 10,000 = 60,000 / 2 = 30,000.
Pls provide me solution.
Regards,
Anand

BEX Exception Issue

Hi,
In my query I have two key figures ( A & B ). I need to compare both these key figures and if B is greater then A then colouring should be done.
      Eg:                        A                                        B
                                 250                                      300     ( colouring should be done )
                                 100                                      80
I tried to create a formula variable ( A - B ) and based on this formula variable exception is created. ( Actually This formula variable should not be displayed in the output, the colouring should be transferred to Key figure B.
Please Let me know how to do this.

Rajesh Kumar Murugesan.

Regarding BEX exceptions

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in implimenting exceptions on a report.
The problem is. For the same condition I have to apply the exceptions for the few rows on a particular column it must be in green color and for the other few rows it must be in red color.
What I did is , I splited the query in to 2 and restricted for that particular rows and combined both queries in WAD.
But it is not having a good GUI. Because the row and column names are getting repeated.
If any of u have any solution,please let me know.
Thanks,
Vinay.

Hi,
If you are using two structures, you can define the exception on cell level. Select the row and column when creating the exception, if necessary do the same with the displaying of results.
Kind regards,
Alex

Bex Query Exception Storage

Hi,
we have developed a program that execute queries in background and display an alert to the user according the exception defined in the queries.
At the moment we have replicated all information related to the exception defined in the Bex queries because we didn't find where the system stores the bex exceptions definition.
Is there any table in SAP BW that cointain this information?
We'd like to avoid to replicate the exception information and we want use the exception definition we set in the Bex queries.
Thx

Hi,
Why cant you use standrart reporting agent(till 3.1) or information broadcasting for same..? instead of Program..?

How to set a BEx Query Condition in Design Studio (e.g. Net value GT 0)

Hi experts,
I have set a simple condition in my BEx Query...
e.g. key figure "Net value" GT 0 to become only positive values in the query result.
In the Query runtime the condition works successful, but in the Design Sudio view the defined Query condition doesn´t work.
In my Design Studio crosstab I have tried to switch between the display setting "Conditional formating Visible" true/false, but without success.
By the way, before I have posted this thread, I had a look at this two blogs...
Design Studio 1.0: Create a Scorecard Using SAP BW BEx Query Exceptions
Design Studio 1.2 - a Second Look
Any ideas or experiences?
Thanks and regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I think you are mixing up two different BEx terms. Conditions are filters on key figures (show me only the results with a value bigger than 50). Exceptions do not filter the result set, but provide a formatting based on the values in the result set (if value is bigger than 50, make its cell red).
The Conditional formatting setting in Design Studio refers to the BEx exceptions. For the BEx conditions there isn't such a setting available. You just have to activate the condition in your BEx Query and use that for your data source in Design Studio.
If you want a workaround to enable/disable conditions from Design Studio, check this blog I wrote: HackingSAP.com - SAP Design Studio and Conditions It shows how you can use variables to adjust the conditions (and also activate) from within Design Studio.
Cheers,
Xavier

Exception and Condition

Hi All,
Can you tell me what is the difference between Bex Exception and Condition in BW/BI.
I have gone through so many forums but still not clear with.
Thanks,
Sheron

Hi Sheron,
Welcome to SAP SDN community.
Exception : It enable you to select and highlight unsual deviations of key figures value in a query. you can see the deviations from the predefined thresold values of interals in the query result displayed i nthe different colors .
to create expetions Go to Query designer> Exception-> New Exception
And Using Condition you can actually resctrict your report. you can make the restriction in the query designer using Condition.
one or more condition can be defined in one query.
for example 'Sales region ='East London' AND Quanity <> 0 )
Please let me know if you still have any questions
Cheers

Upgrade Workbooks & Queries

Hi!
We are currently in the middle of upgrading to NW2004s from 3.5. So far, we have completed a test upgrade on the development system.
When opening workbooks, we can see that the query and workbook objects being upgraded on the fly, which decrease performance. To avoid this we have to resave the workbook, in order to convert all objects.
So my questions are:
1) Does anyone know if it.s both the workbook and the query that has to be resaved?
2) Which upgrade strategy has been used when it comes to migrating workbook and queries?
To let the end-users access via the 3.5 add-ins to start with
*To resave all the queries and/or workbooks after been upgraded
To let the end-user resave when appropriate
Or any other methods?
Thanks in advance!
Bjørn

Hello,
I thought I would share our experience with workbook conversion issues so far. We are upgrading the toolset after having done the technical upgrade, implemented new analysis authorizations, and implemented support packs up to 12.
In our area we have a set of reports (workbooks)that are formatted to a very high degree, using Excel more than the BEx (3.5) settings, although we have both. Some examples are 1) in general the column widths and texts have to remain static to retain the proportions of the report and for printing, and 2) we redid BEx Exception cell formatting with Excel Conditional cell formatting since the users wanted blue as a condition (this is what we did, maybe there is a better way...), 3) graphs, print settings etc.
In order to make some of these settings in 3.5 we had to turn off the query property "adjust format after refresh". I believe the same setting in 7.0 is "Adjust formatting" checkbox on the Analysis Grid properties. Another setting we used extesively in 3.5 was the query setting "adjust column width on refresh - set to "do not adjust". In 7.0 the equivalent is also on the Analysis grid properties "Auto Fit".
My thought right now is that the "Adjust formatting" is not carrying over during the upgrade process, in other words turning off "adjust format after refresh" seems to convert to having the " Adjust formatting" checkbox checked, which wipes out everything after refresh, including the standard BEx format. I have come up with a way to manually convert them, but ultimately involves a fair amount of rework. Many of our other users create workbooks and queries in an adhoc process, so we are communicating to them that they will need to go through this process, and there may be rework. We are finding the 3.5 vs. 7.0 workbook creation process to be significantly different which was unexpected for us at least.
Hope that experience might be helpful, we are still working on it ourselves.
