BEx Query - Time characteristic Description problem

Hi Guys,
In one of the queries, I have '0I_FPER' as the time-characteristic in the columns section. I have few key figures in my rows section. When i executed the query (filter char. - Fiscal year variant restricted to July - June, 4 special periods i.e. V6), i get separate columns for each month as required. But, the descriptions for the months are July 2005, August 2005 ... June 2005.
They should get displayed as
July, 2004 August 2004 ... June 2005
How do i get the description in the desired format.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
I am awaiting a solution. The values are not being filled by any variable. As mentioned before, 0FISCPER has been restricted on 0I_FPER variable. The Fiscal Variant is V6. On execution, the following output appears (with user-entry values for 0FISCPER being 001/2005 - 012/2005):
July 2005 August 2005 ..... June 2005
I am expecting something like
July 2004 August 2004 ..... June 2005
I have problem only with the column description. The data appears correctly. i.e. Data for July 2004 appears correctly but with heading July 2005 instead of July 2004. I created text variables on 0FISCPER for all the months of 2004. But no help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

BEx query characteristic description change

Hi all,
We have some BEx queries that we have changed one of the characteristic description - title only (by dragging the characteristic to the rows, right click, attributes, description).
Lately when we try to refresh the queries the description that shows up is the original one.
Only after saving the query and then execute we can see our own defined description.
Does anyone have an idea to solve this issue for all the queries together?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you A J for your reply.
I want to specify my problem:
We have about 100 BEx queries that were designed by the same person (a top user) at the passed year and are viewed through our SAP Portal by many people every day. When the queries were designed some of the Characteristic's descriptions were change (For example: The characteristic 0MAINTROOM description was changed from ROOM to SITE in some of the queries).
At the passed few days, we have noticed that the description at the portal is the original one (ROOM). We opened the BEx query and we saw that the 0MAINTROOM has the description of SITE . but... After that if we execute the query (by clicking only "Quit and use Query"), the query result is with the description ROOM. Only by saving again the query and then execute - we will see SITE at the result.
We also tried to generate all the queries by using RSRT --> Environment --> Generate Queries but with no success to solve this issue.
Thanks again.

Restricting a characteristic & query time out problem

Hi. We have the follwoing problem:
Before our BI upgrade, we have had a number of users querying different info areas, that are now having difficulty restricting on a characteristic in a query. This was performed with no problems before the upgrade.
Many times, the list of records for the particular characteristic is quite small. Either it takes 20-30 minutes for the list to appear, or the query times out (after 6000 seconds).
Any ideas?

Any time you have an existing query that has been running quickly in production, and it suddenly starts to run much longer, you should be suspicious of some change to DB statisitics and or indexes.
So the first thing to do is work with your DBA to make sure the DB statistics are current for the tables involved in the query, then get an Explain Plan for the query which will show you how the DB is trying to execute the query, what indexes it uses, etc. Perhaps stats are not being refreshed after the upgrade, or something happened to an index

Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

Dear all,
I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
would rise exponentially).
In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax.
Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
M.

Hi Ingo,
1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
2) Another question is:
Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
For example:
Instead of this:
<FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
        <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
    </CONDITION>
</FILTER>
Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.

Didier

Problem while opening Bex query on the web

Hello BW experts,
I have a problem while opening Bex query from my SAP Favorites.See below.
When i double click on the query, i get the following page, with the server name KBWS01QX.
But, from RSRT Tcode, select the query > query display as HTML > Click on ABAP Web , click execute as shown below, it is going to the correct URL as in the 2nd screen shot below.
My question is why is it going to the wrong URL when i open it from SAP Favorites menu?
I want it to open the same URL as it opened from RSRT(which is the right one)
What is the Config needed to make it to work from SAP favorites.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks alot.
SV

Hello,
Thank you all for your responses.
See below some additional info.
From RSRT, this time I clicked on JAVA WEB, and i get the below URL, which is the same URL i was getting when i executed the query from SAP favorites.
http://kbws01qx.xxxxxxx.com:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?QUERY=ZCONSUMPTION
Also, i have executed the Function module : RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET and i get the below values.
It seems that it is trying to connect to Java portal something services may be, but i want it to open in ABAP web only.

Problem about printing special character in bex query analyzer

Hi,
in bex query analyzer i have created one restricted key figure , in which i have substracted two date with the help of replacement path.
So i got result.
But i am facing one problem. when in both date, if one date is null or # then it is giving some big value like -734567.
But i want some special character like X instead of this big values.
So how can i do this?
With the help of if and else it can be done.
But how can we print special character in report.
Please help me
Thank you in advance

hi,
You cannot show X in a formula result. You can highlight the row using exception.
Still if you want to show X in the result then you need to create a formula variable on a char which returns X value all the times.
Then you can use the three formula variable to write a formula so that it shows the difference:
date1 -- formula variable
date2 -- formula variable
charx -- formula variable.
the formula will be
Count(date1)Count(date2)(date1 - date2) + charx *(count (delta(date1) + delta(date2))).
this would return the X value if any of the dates are empty otherwise their difference.
regards.
Arvind.

Problem with a Bex Query Report with Web Intelligence

Hello!
I have a Bex query (with query Bex version 7.0) I'm connecting with Web Intelligence (4.0) but one of the attributes instead of displaying the description shows only the key, and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion.
I wonder if there is a solution for this or if it is a problem of version 4.0 of Web Intelligence.
I await your response,
Greetings!

Hi,
Whereabouts in the application are you seing this problem? (in the query panel conditions, in the prompt list of values, or in the table block? )
also, what do you mean by "and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion" ?
it's worth noting that the "key and text display properties" in the Bex Query Designer do not influence webi. WebI consumes the global infoobject property from BW RSH1.

H

BEX Query Web-Convert Key Fig to Characteristic-Right justify characteristi

Hi,
I have converted a Key Figure into a characteristic. Let's call the new characteristic Z_NUMCHAR.
When Z_NUMCHAR is displayed in the BEX Query (HTML), it is left justified.
I have concatenated additional SPACES to the front of Z_NUMCHAR. However when Z_NUMCHAR is displayed, the spaces are removed.
I have also tried concatenating a letter to the front of Z_NUMCHAR and then a string of spaces, but the spaces are removed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to right justify a characteristic?
My worst case solution is to add leading underscores. _____5482.214
But would rather see it look like a Key Figure. 5482.214
Thanks

Dashboard to BEx query call run time very slow (7-8 mins)

Hi Guys,
I am currently working on a project where BEx query is being consumed using BICS. The functional team has built a BEx which is being cached in Webi by the BO developer and then that cashed Webi is being used in Dashboard. We have many hierarchies (Fund Center, Profit Center, GL Account etc.) used in the dashboard.
BEx query > WEBi (Cached) > Dashboard
Clicking the main level in hierarchy in dashboard the data comes back in 2-3 secs as the data is cached in Webi
ISSUE: In Dashboard based on where user is on the Fund Center hierarchy there is a button called “Summary Report” on the dashboard which calls the BEx query and that second call takes roughly about 7-8 minutes. How could we reduce the run time of the second query?
The secondary query uses the same data set as the first one but as the data is cached in Webi and it uses Web services to pass data to dashboard, so any call back from dashboard to the cached webi the hierarchy information is lost and thus the secondary query call to BEx query.
Would it be possible to recommend any solution where we could bring the run time of the secondary call to less than a minute?
Thanks,
Keys

Crystal didn't show the BEx query Attributes description changes/Values

We experiencing the BEx query attributes/crystal report issue.
I create a crystal report using BW- BEx query. Bex query displays the attributes values. But in crystal report side it didn;t show up the values as well as description changes.
But If I change the display properties of attributes (different from one attribute to another) the crystal report reflect the values. But crystal report didn't show the Attribute description changes , the one i did it in BEx query side.
Example:
Bex has a Masterdata as well as attribute Field1, Field2 etc.. I changed the description like Field_Test1 and Field_Test2. Also I changed the display property for Field_Test1 is Key and text and long , Field_Test2 is Text & LOng text.
I got the attribute values is crystal report Xi R2. But crystal didn't reflect the description changes?
Suggestions Please?

Need your help !!! -- Authorization error for Real-Time Bex query

Dear experts:
I have a Bex query built on a multiprovider, this multiprovider is consist of one standard cube and one real-time cube(virtual provider). When I run this query, I can retrive the data and no error occured, but when others execute this query, they will get the error message below:

Did anybody meet the same error before? How to resolve that?
Any post would be appreciated and thank you all in advance!

I think there is some missing authorization,here
the user has no access to execute the DTP.
You can analyse it in rsecadmin or also see
which object you are getting in su53.
