BEx queries on Cubes

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way i can view all BEx Query in a specific Cube. If yes, what TC or how i can go there. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joven

goto tcode se11 in BW system-enter tablename as RSRREPDIR..(table description is 'Directory of all reports')
go to selection screen for the table and enter infocube technical name in field INFOCUBE and hit execute.
(so that only queries built on that cube are displayed)
In the list of records that are displayed,COMPID field gives the technical name of each of the queries.
cheers,
Vishvesh

Creating a universe on Multiple Cubes or Bex Queries

Dear SDNers,
Can we create a single universe on Multiple cubes or DSOs or BEx Queries and how do we do this?
Can you plese tell me step by step.
Thanks,
Swathi.

Hi swathi,
yes, we can create multicubes from single universe from webi rich client/deski, create a single report from BEx Query it makes as single micro cube.
and Next Edit Query--> Add Query--> select same universe. This Query makes as another Micro cube. so you can design a report from those Microcubes. if you add additional object to query panal the microcube updated from data base.
This Link help for you,

Poor query performance in WebI on top of BEx queries

Hello,
We are using Web Inteliigence i BO 3.1 (SP0) to report on BEx queries (BW 7.0).
We experience however that reporting is much quicker for the same set of data when using BEx Analyzer than when using WebI. In BEx it is acceptable, but in WebI it's not.
How can we optimize the performance in this scenario? What tricks are there?
The amount of data is not huge (max 500 000 records in the cube)
BR,
Fredrik

Hi,
Dennis is right. But if you need to upgrade (and you do) than maybe going to the latest SP is better. It is SP4. With SP3 the WebI Option "Query Striping" has been introduced which brings Performance as well.

How do i access multiple bex queries in one crystal reports??

Hello Experts,
I have 10 cubes and 30 bex queries on it and i need to create 3 final crystal reports on these 30 queries.
I am on BI 4.0 & CR 2011. but my client is not on correct SAP patch ie., he is on 15+ but he must be on 23+ to access multiple bex queries on CR 2011 Database expert. (I am unable to see bex queries in Database expert to link couple of bex queries)
And my client env doesnt have SAP EP for SAP BW Netweaver Connection to create a connection to access cubes or queries in IDT.
Do my client env need EP? so that SAP BICS Connection will work in IDT?
How do i approach to achive this...
Thank you...

Hi,
have you checked the option "allow external access" in your query? SAP Toolbar will find all queries but the database export needs this flag to be set.
Using multiple queries within one crystal report is using the "multi database join feature" of crystal reports. You can link your queries by key fields and crystal will join them in memory. So when there are many queries or many datarows this can be a huge performance killer.
Actuallly one of our customers is running a report which has more than 20 BEx queries linked together. It runs just fine.
Please be sure to set your joins correctly. E.g. crystal will try to make a join on the "key figures" sturcture if you let it create a suggestion or it will try to link on all fields of an infoobject. This will bring MDX errors.
So you should be setting your joins correctly - the [infoobject]-[20infoobject] fields are fine for that.
I hope you can use some of my words.
Regards
Thorsten

By having BEx queries on BPC cubes, I thought the revenue will be negative for example and balance sheet items will be double counted over time. I am not sure if SAP is officially supporting this BEx on BPC cubes ?
When I get data from Legacy systems into BW cubes, I would like to validate( and raise exceptions if required) the imported transactional data. Any other way to accomplish these with BEx queries on BPC cubes ?

How to design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries

Hi Team,
I would like to know some of the queries :
1.How can you design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries in the sense which gives you more performance
2.What are the differences between Non SAP sources like Oracle,SQL and SAP sources in designing the Universe.
3.Can we create a Derived table from an SAP source because i know that the Schema is not created for BEx queries,cubes.
4.What are the advantages of having oracle as a source then SAP source.
Can you please elobarate the above queries.
Regards,
Pradeep P.

Hi,
1. Check Ingos Blog on SDN ther are some PDF for performance regarding WebI on BW
2. On RDBMS Source you have to design your universe. On OLAP Source like BW you generate the Universe and cant customize it a lot.
4. Good question. In a BW all your logic is already in place. On a RDBMS you have to build your logic in a universe. But there are a lot of differences.

How to create Universe on BEx Queries

Hi,
I am very new to create Universe based on SAP BW Infocubes or BEx queries. I actually need to create reports based on BEx queries. I am able to log into SPA BW using Universe connection and I see only Infocubes. Where can I find BEx queries. Is there any specific document that helps here.
Please help me.
Nanda

Hi,
You can select the queries which are part of the cubes. And make sure that the query is part of the cube.
If still not listing then from Bex Query designer open the query from the cube and enable 'set to allow external access' in the properties of a query.
Now, the query should be available in the Universe Designer.

BEx queries - one or more SQL statements generated?

Iu2019m a BusinessObjects man and BEx is new to meu2026When you execute a BEx query against a cube u2013 how does BEx manage that query and what gets send to the backend DB (e.g. Oracle)?
I understand the cube is one table in Oracle?, but other tables (dimensions?) will also be needed to return all the data for a given report/query.
Does BEx pass that as one query to Oracle, or is it performed as separate queries, with BEx pulling the result sets together?

Hi Durgesh, Susan
Thank you to both of you for your response to Ed on this thread. The background to these questions on how SQL statements are generated from BEx queries that we are working with Ed in a project to test the capability of accelerating the performance of BEx queries via the following process described below. (Please excuse any terminology errors as like I do not have a background in SAP):
1. Export fact table InfoObjects relevant to queries for InfoCubes to be accelerated by defining as Open Hub destinations, creating mappings and a data transfer process. Trigger export from SAP BI via a Process Chain and then load data to external database via ETL tool. Master data (dimension tables) remain in SAP BI
This step was completed successfully, including exporting of data.
2. Create a Universal Data Connect (UDC) source system to map to the exported fact tables.
3. Create a virtual provider mapping to the UDC source defined in step 2 to enable access to external table via JDBC.
4. Execute BEx report, selecting the query properties 'Cache inactive' and 'Reading all data at once', specifying restrictions (variables) in the report which would result in a small subset of data being returned from the fact table if applied in the SQL passed to the external database.
We hoped that SAP BI would push down predicates which could be applied to the fact table into the SQL sent to the external database via the virtual provider, but instead an SQL query selecting all columns with no WHERE clause was generated with the result that a 36 million row results set was sent across a network to join with dimension data, rather than a few rows.
Is this how SAP BI works in version 7.0 or are there configuration options which can change this behaviour? Is so, if all tables (including master data (dimensions) were exported to external database would SAP BI then transmit the database queries as joins to the external database?
Sorry this was a bit long, and thank you in advance for any advice you can give.
Stuart.

Testing the Bex Queries

Hi all,
How is the correctness of the data output in the Bex Queries checked?
Other than seeing the contents in the cube directly?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Madhu,
As for as i know,there is no standard methodology to test BW Queries.We do check Query data manually againest InfoProvider's data.
Execute the Query with some selections.go to LISTCUBE transaction,Provide InfoProvider name and execute it...Select the Keyfigures and characteristics which are there in the Query....If you have executed Query with any specific values,then here also provide same values and execute.This displays cube's data...You can cross check this data againest Query's data...
If you have any RKFs in Query,the try to view Cube's data according to that....
Copy the BCT Queries with different tech names and modify them according to Your requirements.in my experience,i have never used any BCT Queries.almost all Queries i work on are custom defiend ones.
Also check this links which had an Info about List cube

list cube usage
Hop this helps

WebI report based on Universe upon SAP BEx Queries:Prompt issue

Hi,
I am creating Web Intelligence report using Universe based on SAP Bex Queries. In WebI report I created a filter condition as I need to run report based on two specidc dates. I need to schedule report to run 2nd of every month to show data for last month. At present I have the following filter : date between 'Start Date' and 'End Date'. 'Start Date' should always be 'first date of previous month' and End Date be always must be 'Last date of previous Month'. How to do this. The solution I thought would be to create variables at report/universe level ('first date of previous month' and 'Last date of previous Month') and use in the filter using 'Object from this Query' option.But this 'Object from this Query' option is missing in the prompt.Is there any work around to achieve this.? Could you please help me.
Nanda Kishore

Hi all,
I have a related question too.
I have 2 queries and need a Combined BEx query written on this for reporting. (WebI)
In the 2 queries, there is a Field which needs to be restricted.
But this field should not be restricted in the Combined BEx query.
So I thought of restricting the Field at the report level. But in this case, the user gets a prompt to enter a value for the field.
And this is not desirable as per the requirement.
COuld you please tell me if there is another way of handling this without the user being prompted to enter a value while the report is being run, but still I need selection at the Field level.
Thanks and Regards,

SAP BW Bex Queries as Data source WIS 10901 Error while refreshing

Hi,
I have created a Web Intelligence report based on Universe upon SAP BEx queries.
When I refresh the report, I get the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: the supplied XML is not valid. [Measures].[4ASYKV5XU5T].(WIS 10901)
Report was fine for a day. I started showing error from today.
This is my first report and Universe based on SAP BEx queries. I do not have knowledge of SAP system as well.
Please help.
Nanda Kishore B

Hey Nanda kishore B,
It is because that Measure object definition changed @BEx. Measures.4ASYKV5XU5T
Can you check @BEx query for any latest changes??
OR
Go to Universe Designer:
1. Open Universe
2. View == Refresh Structure
3. Can you see any updates now?? OK
4. Save Universe
5. Export it
Now open the Report. It will work now, if all Objects are there at Bex query & Universe level.
Along with this Do integrity check @Universe also before exporting.
Gracias...!!

Can I create one single crystal report using 2 bex queries

HI all,
I have 2 bex queries and has to develope a single crystal report .Is it possible???? If so, than how to connect two bex queries and develope one single crystal report.Any other option is also fine. I mean ....no need to use crystal..( I can go for one single webi..).But need to know the approach ...
or else...can I create universe on 1 bex and other universe on other bex ..and go for one single webi report..
Only problem is client is particular about one single report(either crystal or webi)
if i go for webi ...I know we can use link universe option but I dont know whether it works fro OLAP environment.
Please let me know if I can link OLAp universes and go for 1 single webi report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mahathi

You can use either CR or WebI.
In CR Designer create the report using the SAP toolbar (Create report from query) based on the 1st BEx query. Then use the Database expert (first entry in the Database menu) to add an additional connection to your 2nd BEx query (+Create new connection->SAP BW DX query). You can then join the results of the 2 different queries in the database expert also.. Please note that if you do NOT want to join the result sets, then it is more efficient to use subreports. Create two different CR reports, each based on one of the BEx queries and then use one of those as your main report and insert the other one into it as subreport. Once embedded you do not have to keep the separate .rpt file of your second report.
For Webi you must build 2 universes, each based on one of your BEx queries. In your report you can add multiple queries based on different universes. You can join the results sets here by using the Merge dimensions button in the report editor area.
Regards,
Stratos
PS; Keep in mind that joining a large number of rows at report level (either in CR or WebI) can cause performance problems. If this is your requirement, how many rows do you expect to get back from each individual query?

How Many SAP BW BEx Queries can be embedded in a Universe

Hi,
I need to create 5 reports based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
Axes details:
X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
My query is: Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.
(All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
One more, should I use Web intelligence only? Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
Please advise.
Nanda Kishore.
Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Oct 13, 2010 4:17 PM

Answers for your qns:
Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe ?? NO
Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report. ?? YES
All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel ?? Possible- YES
should I use Web intelligence only? *WebI * or Data Federator
Nanda Kishore,
As you are in SAP BI, I suggest you to go with BO Universe==>>WebI or DataFederator.
Solution for your problem:
Sol1 : Why you are creating 5 BEx queries?? Is there any calculations or restrictions??
YES, then Design 5 Universes for each BEx query.
@ WebI Report: Develop report/chart based on Universe-1 and in BO query panel click on Add Query and do it for 4 other Universes.
Save all Charts in single report. (After running second time query, it will prompt for 3 opt's: 1. Insert new report 2. Insert data with in the existing report 3. Indulge objects without creating new report )
Here, go with Opt:2 or Opt3 or opt:1, no problem. And develop all Charts in single report by just dragging & dropping chart type and objects to it.
Now your problem solved.
Sol2: If no need of 5 BEx queries: Just drag all the Characteristics, Keyfigures and other what you want for Charting.
@Designer: Design Universe on top of this BEx master query.
@ Report : use this Universe and drag objects to 5 diff charts.
Hope you got it.
Thank You!!

Create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor

Hello All,
I am trying to create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor.
BW Development Team has created a BEX query with complex restrictions and calculations using Cell Editor feature of BI-BEX.
The query output in BEx analyzer is correct where all values are being calculated at each Cell level and being displayed.
But, while creating VC model, system is not displaying the Cells.Thus, no VC Model can be created.
I have executed below steps:
1. Created a VC Model for BEx Query - ZQRY_XYZ
2. Create Iview -> Create a dataService -> Provide a Table from the Output
In the Column field system is not showing any of the Cells (present in Cell Editor)
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi
If 'Cell Editor' is been used then that query must have the structure in it. You have to select that 'structure' object in your 'VC Table'.
If you select that then you will get the required result in the output. This structure will be the structure where 'cell reference' is used in BI query, You have to select that structures name.

Displaying messages while running BEx queries.

Hi Experts,
Can any one explain me is there any possibility to display some popup messages while running BEx queries?
Regards,
Anusha

Hi there,
You can do taht with user exit variables with the code something like this:
WHEN 'YOUR_VARIABLE'.
    if i_step = 2.
    LOOP AT eto_charsel INTO ln_charsel.
*some validation of your own
      if ln_charsel-low NE '1'.
*call function to send a message, in this case, an error message
         CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
           EXPORTING
             i_class = 'ERROR!'
             i_type   = 'E'
             i_number = '000'
             i_msgv1 = 'Please connect again and'
             i_msgv2 = 'use the Revision Layout'.
             RAISE no_processing.
      endif.
    ENDLOOP.
    endif.
