2. Calculated Key Figures
3. Variables

Hi Pallavi,
Restricted Keyfigure:- are key figures for an InfoProvider that are restricted (filtered) by one or more characteristic selections. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures or key figures that are already restricted.
when you want to restrict a Key figure by a characteristic - ex - getting a revenue(0amount) for year 2008(0fiscyear - 2008)
Calculated Key Figure -
Runtime key figures, which means they are not stored in the InfoCube but defined in the BEx query. BEx provides a wide range of functions that can be used in defining the calculated key figures.
Its arithmetic calculations involving key figures, restricted key figures or cal key figures or just numbers.
when you want to add up the revenue of 2007 and 2008 (RKF1 + RKF2)
I hope this is clear !

KF value is not Displayed in BEx Report ..where as cube, mpro end ok..!!

Hello Experts,
I ran a bex report. In that report KF some NetsSalesValue has not displayed in the BI Report for all the Sales Organiations where as other KFs has displayed the value for all the Sales Organizations.
For that i checked my end. BI report is pulling data from Cube --> Multiprovider --> Bex Report.
I myself checked KF value into Cube level, multiprovider KF level value is avaialable.
And also i checked, in the query properties is there any filters, RKF, CKF, but...i found the KF is a basic KF.
And also..i checked the whether the rollup has happened..properly or not and ran the query but no use.
For your info upto 3 days..back KF value has presented in the report. After that only this issue has encounterred.
I am in confusion where the exact issue will be.
If any body faced this kind of scenario is your project, kindly reply me.
For any more clarifications i will respond you immediately.
Thanks,
SN

Hi,
check aggregates,index etc for cube
check key figure selection as well in Multiprovider for respective Infoprovider
just create test query on Infoprovider and then on Multiprovider and see..
Check RSRT - regenerate the query
also see there are various options like execute+debug has ....just check them
Thanks and regards

We are facing error while executing Bex report.

Hi Gurus:
We are facing error while executing Bex report.
Messge :
u201CQuery 0: Runtime error program state check for conversation 05284411 / CP with parallel processing via RFC
Message no. DBMAN428u201D
The query is based upon Multiprovider (based upon 2 basic cubes).
Both cubes are partitioned by info object 0CALMONTH, (valid range - 01.2005 - 012.2010).
Those cubes are not containing any non-cumulative key figures and Service package level for SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 is u2018SAPKW70012u2019.
I have checked those cubes in RSRV and carry out following steps:
"All Elementary Tests -> Transaction Data" and execute the repair "Consistency of the Time Dimension for an Info Cube"
I have found system inconsistency like u201CRecord with the DIMID 2 contains non-fitting time characteristics u201C
Detail ERROR:
Record with the DIMID 2 contains non-fitting time characteristics
Message no. RSCV053Diagnosis
The data record of the time dimension table with the described DIMID contains values for time characteristics that do not fit together.
I have found the u2018 Note 1130450 - Query displays error DBMAN 284; RSRV: Time dimension checku2019 for this but still not sure this will work or not .
I tested this in dev server , didn't feel useful.
Could you please let us know what to correct this error.
Anwser will be rewared.

Bex Report Designer: Error while loading metadata

hi experts,
I am working with BI7 Bex Report Designer and we are using SP9. when i tried to load the Query in Report Designer its giving below error.
Error while loading metadata.
Check the Query and portal settings.(but the query is working fine in Analyzer).
and its giving message class RSBOLAP, message number 018 and Description is java system error: incoming call is not authorized.
when i double click the error its giving below error details.
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the BI components on the SAP J2EE Engine.
System Response
Procedure
Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.
Procedure for System Administration
Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose "<J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log Viewer under "Cluster <computer name>" -> "Server <server number>" -> "<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<INSTANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<NUMBER>\log". ". In Unix, the file is located under "/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NUMBER>/log".
If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "<J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" -> "webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the log level with the most information. You can save your settings by choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the overall performance of the system.
could you plz suggest me how to rectify the problem.
regards
vadlamudi

Hi vadlamudi
The error message RSBOLAP 018 means, that the ABAP stack can't communicate with the Java Stack.
1) Please ensure, that the user, used for the Report Designer, is valid in the Portal too. Depending on the user management setup this means that there either needs to be the same user or an assigned user in the Portal.
2) In case the user is valid, it means a basic misconfiguration according to note 937697. In this case please run the Support Desk Tool and ensure, that all checks are green. Please ensure, that the latest version of the Support Desk Tool is used.

Bex reports in non english language

What setting required to get the Bex reports in Japanese language. Provide more inputs..

Hi,
Regarding to the Japanese Displaying issue, it depends on what Bex version are you using to display the BEx report and please refer to thefollowing information:
1. If you are using BEx3.5 tool    It is necessary to set all the regioan and language settings in
   control panel of the issued machine to "Japan" and "Japanese",
   inculding the "format" "unicode" "keyborad and     languages"       and
   "location" tabs. For more details, please refer to the attached
   "region and language settings.jpg" file.
   After set the language to Japanese, you need to restart your
   PC and then you can verify if the Japanese Characters can be
   displayed correctly in BEx3.5 report.
   Note:Users are supposed to understand Japanese if they need to
   display and read Japanese reports, so all the settings are required
   to set to Japanese, if users need to have PC with English menu
   displayed but with report in Japanese, they can leave "display
   language part" as "English" so the OS system menus will still be in
   English.
2. If you are using BEx7.0 tool
   Basically you don't have to set anything specially on the client
   machine as Bex7.0 is a multiple language supported version, meaning
   with all Engish settings on local machine, once you logon Bex in
   JA, Japanese Characters can also be displayed correctly in the
   Bex reports. Just make sure that the relevatn reports data have
   JA maintained in BW backend system and JA language is installed
   correctly.
Thanks,
Venkat

Cumulation problem in BEX REPORT?

hi,
i am generating reporting FISCAL PERIOD WISE. the values of standard price(OPRICE_STD), moving average price(0PRICE_AVG) values are basically coming from R/3 directly.
0fiscper    Company period            std price           mov avg price
2009001     20090101                      40                         50
2009001     20090102                      40                         50
2009001     20090103                      40                         50
2009001     20090104                      40                         50
no, when i run the report by fiscal period the values are showing 160 instead of 40, and 200 instead of 50 respectively.
when u drill down the values are 40,50 only for the company period wise. but how to display overall result as 40 for std price, and 50 for mov avg price in the bex report. that means how to do it in bex query designer.
regards
vadlamudi

thanks one and all , that problem has been resolved.
i have created structure for material types( Ingredients, packaging materials in rows)
when i execute the query by fiscal period the values which are showing is very high in the final result.
when i drill down by material and keyfigure(formula) values are not matching with the final result.
and if we execute by material wise rather than period wise the values are perfect.
pl tell me the solutio
regards

HOW TO FIX COLUMN IN BEX REPORT

Hello Gurus,
I have created BEX report in which user want 1st two column (Material and its describtion) to be fixed as if he want to check all relavent result related to Material the first 2 column should not be move it should be fixed and rest other results and other column should move,

Hi Wajid,
The VBA code i gave earlier will do this automatically for your users. Please use it. It freezest columns A and B so that columns A and B dont move even if your users scroll to the right. It just stays there.
In your workbook after you have inserted your query, go to Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor. Then go to Insert Menu->Module. Double click the module that have been created (probable name is Module1) and then on the code editor paste this code:
Public Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Range("C1").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
End Sub
Everytime the users refresh your query it will freeze the first to columns. So at least you are sure that the columns A and B are frozen.

Data load from BPC into BI 7 cubes for Bex reporting

Hi,
Can we pull BPC planning data into the BI cubes so that Bex reports can be created for combined data from BPC cubes and BI cubes?
Also can we create Bex reports on BPC cubes just like we create for BI reporting cubes?
Let me also give an example of the scenario we face.
We have actuals data in a BI 7 basic cube(Actuals cube). Planning is done in BPC, so I understand that the planned data gets automatically stored in a BPC cube in BI7 system. I want to load the data from this BPC cube to BI Actuals cube and create a combined Bex report to show actuals and plan data.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Archana

AS of now, if you report data in the BPC7NW cubes through BEx, you may not get the same result as you get from BPC reports. The reason being BEx won't do the same calculations (for example sign reversals) that BPC client would do. In addition, you won't be able to report the results of the dimension member formulas when you report through BEx. If you have to get data out from BPC cubes to other cubes, you can go through SQE (shared query engine) and that way, yyour results will match with what you get in BPC reports. Once you get data out through SQE into other cubes, you can use BEx to report if you wish.
More functionality will be available in near future to accomplish BEx reporting for BPC data.

Pravin

BEx Reporting on BPC 10 Model

Hi all
I've been researching the option of bringing our BPC reporting into BW in order to make BPC data available to our existing set of BW users without the need to purchase more BPC licenses and save on training in EPM.
I have got as far as making the model a data source via the web admin and creating a query based on the virual provider <model>_B.
However, I still have some key questions which I do not have answered:
- Is this method of reporting OK as it is ? I am not making use of any sort of transient query..
- How are we able to enable authorisation on this BPC data surfaced in BEx without moving the data to new InfoObjects, etc. I do not believe it is wise to modify any of the automatically created objects from BPC..
- How are we able to improve the manipulation of hierarchies in BEx (some of which have 15 levels!) ? Has anyone come across this ?
My view is (and always has been) that we should be using BPC to reporting BPC data but I need to be sure of my facts and justify exactly why that should be our approach and make sure I am not missing an easy way to do this.
Thanks
Ian

Half a year ago I reported problem to SAP because hierarchies showed wrong totals - with queries based on virtual provider. This happened after upgrading BW and BPC. I reported this to SAP and they answered, that Bex reporting on virtual provider is not supported. After that I changed all queries to basic BPC cube and applied BW authorizations.
SAP's anwer in january 2014 was:
"The transient query is the supported BEx query, please kindly work with it for BEx WEB reporting. Note that the transient query also has some limitation, please refer to note 1730125.
Customer defined BEx query on BPC generated virtual InfoProvider is currently not supported. It's an enhancement request to support customer defined BEx query, please create such a request on
SAP Idea Place where BPC product team would regular check and collect development requests."
I see that later SAP issued note 1988018 which probably solved the issue. But still I didn't see any SAP's official statement that Bex reporting on BPC cubes is supported.

Concatenation of Data from 4 infoobjects into a single cell in Bex Report

Hi,
I have loaded ODS with the description data. The source system for loading the ODS is the flat file. The ODS data should be a replica of the flat file.
In the flat file, there is a description field corresponding to a particular ID. This Description is greater than the standard 60 char length. So, I had to split the description while loading the flat file using single line routine in the Transfer Structure.
So, while loading different the data, I split the description field data from the flat file into 4 infoobjects and the flat file data was loaded into the ODS.
Now, from the reporting point of view, I need to display the entire description data from the 4 info-objects into a single cell in the Bex report.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Header and Footer in a BEx report

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement where I need to provide a space for the user to sign-off with their name and signature at the bottom of the print-out of a BEx report. For this purpose I need to provide a space at the bottom of the report where the user can write their names and sign-off. It should be something like:
Name: _________________________________-
Signature: _______________________________
Date: ___________________________________
Is there some way I can add all this as the footer text in the BEx query?
Thanks,
Ram

If the BEx query can use a "structure" in the rows section....
Under last row, add a selection = company code, set it not equal to the company code, & change the description =
NAME: ____________________________________________
Then, copy the above row, but change description to =
SIGNATURE: _____________________________________
Repeat, copy the above row, change description =
DATE: ____________________________________
If you want to add blank lines, copy one of these rows, but change description = a period = .
By setting the restriction <> to the real company code, then that row should be blank straight across, except for the description.
A better/more professional looking option is to put the BEx query into a web template, add 3 HTML rows under the query result table, add text per your specs. Then save web template to the appropriate role/folder to publish it on the portal.

Shortened Fiscal Year and its impact on BI back end and Bex reports

Hi All,
Our client is making some changes to the fiscal year period.
Becuase of some business requirements, we will have to shortened the fiscal year.
Can you please suggest - what are the watch points when we do this?
- what will be the impact to BI back end and Bex reports?
Thanks,
Nisha

Hello Nisha,
Since the fiscal year (Infobjects - 0FISCYEAR and/ 0FISCPER3) is compounded with fiscal year variant, therefore maintaining the correct variant in BI will automatically take care of showing the data correctly.
So there are two things to be maintained in BI:
1) To see that the variant definition.
2) If you need to display the text of the fiscal periods, then the correct texts.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Shweta
