Bex reporting Flag

Hi,
I am planning to uncheck the Bex reporting flag in a ODS. So to transport the change do I need to transport any thing else or just the ods?
Thanks,

capture the change in ods in a request and transport that alone.

Significance of BEx Reporting flag in ODS objects

Hello Masters,
I would like to know in detail, the Significance of BEx Reporting flag in ODS settings. What happens if we flag, and hat happedn when we dont ?
If, Transaction Data is loaded into the ODS, without loading the relevant Masterdata in advance, are SID's created, as it happens in cube ?
IS there a connection between SID's and ODS objects ?
best wishes,
i BI

Hi,
From SAP help : With the BEx Reporting indicator, you determine whether the ODS object is immediately available for BEx queries. If the indicator is not set, no SIDs are generated for the new characteristics when the data in the ODS object is activated. This optimizes the performance of the activation process, but the ODS object is not available as an InfoProvider for queries. Turn the indicator off for all ODS objects that are only being used for further processing of data in other data targets or that are being used in InfoSets.

Turning On Bex reporting Flag

Hi,
We have ODS size of 7 million records. The Bex reporting Flag is swithched off on this ODS and I would like ON it now.
Do I have to clean the data and relaod everything back in or is it ok to switch on the Flag now and transport it?
Thanks,
AB

Hi,
You can turn on the bex reporting without deleting data, but if you activate the ODS it will create SID for the entire ODS contents. It may take long time to activate depending on the ODS size. See whether you have enough wait time in your foreground and background(while transport) before doing this.

DSO - BEx Reporting Flag

Hi All !
During implementations, data flows goes like Datasource -> DSO -> Cube -> MP -> Reporting
In all DSO's, BEx reporting flag is checked. Though reporting is done on the cube. Does checking this flag reduces the performance? Please advise
With Regards
Rekha

If you tick the checkbox related to reporting in your DSO settings, it generates the SIDs at the time of data loading (while activating the data) which in turn make the DSO available for reporting.
As for the performance, these SIDs help in query performance, however it decreases the loading performance (because of the SID generation).
So take a call based on whether you really need these DSOs for reporting as well. If not, you can simply uncheck the setting for reporting. This will help you improve the loading performance.

BEX Reporting while ODS Activation

Hi,
I have an ODS with BEX reporting enabled. While doing ODS activation users are able to execute query on this ODS. Which giving partial report as activation is going on (it is really misleading). Is there any way to restrict users from accessing the ODS data while activation going on? Or set the reporting flag after completion of ODS activation (Currently reporting flag is getting set while activation going on)?
We are in BW 3.5, Patch Level - 0012
Thanks in advance
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
Its better to make Bex Reporting flag enabled after ODS activation.
If they are executing queries while activation of ODS is going on they were able to get data only from the requests which are loaded in ODS and r ready for reporting(activated requests).

Error Transporting FI ODS with Bex Reporting On

Hello,
We are getting error
"Value Xxxxx for characteristic 0INV_DOC_NO is invalid".
"Value Xxxxx for characteristic 0REF_DOC_NO is invalid".
"Value Xxxxx for characteristic 0REF_KEY1 is invalid".
"Value Xxxxx for characteristic 0REF_KEY2 is invalid".
"Value Xxxxx for characteristic 0TXTLG is invalid".
"Value Xx#xx# for characteristic zsmthg is invalid".
in transport log while activation fo ODS, we have only checked Bex reporting flag to report on ODS and
are trying to move the request to production .
This ODS has approximately 14,000,0000 and upper level cube is working fine for reports.
Any Ideas for this error message ?
Thanks
Ooops

Hi,
when activating your ODS for reporting, the system will generate master data SIDs for all IObjs of your ODS.
In other words, your ODS was prior this setting just a table with fields not usable in reporting thus not checked when loaded.
Now the system is checking each value of the IObj and verify that it complies with the IObj rules (lower case not allowed, special characters allowed in Tx RSKC, and so on...).
If the values are fine, the system will create this master data and corresponding SIDs for all IObjs if they aren't created yet)...
All these checks are performed because you now want to report on this ODS, therefore the system will link your ODS table fields an their corresponding IObjs...
I suggest to copy your ODS to another; enable the reporting flag on the copy and start loading some data from the original to the copy and escalate the several issue you will face one by one.
Hope this helps

Setting the 'reportable' flag for a very large ODS

Hello Community,
I am working on a very large BW system (6 Tb), and we recently have the need to set the 'BEx Reporting' flag on some very large ODS objects.
It was my impression that setting this flag would be easy to do. But the transport that contains this flag for six large ODS objects has already been running for more than 16 hours.
Can you tell me, what actually happens in the database when the 'BEx Reporting' flag is turned on for an ODS ?
Thanks !
Keith

Hello Bhanu,
Thanks for the quick response. Are you able to provide some more information ?
are the SID values created in a new SID table ?
if the ODS was already very large, then would you expect the new SID table to also be very large ?
what about the case if a SID value already exists for the characteristic ?
Thank you !
Keith

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.

Reporting Flag is not visible in the manage screen

Hi BI Experts, Good morning.
We load the inventory data daily in the night time which is delta load.
5 days back, we got 0 records and the request is in red.Then i rerun the infopackage manually and got the total records in to the cube.
From that day onwards its running successfully.
Yesterday i deleted the bad request from infocube.
But the Reporting flag is not visible.
Today i didnot get the records.
Please can anyone tell me the process.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anjali

Hi Nagesh,
Still i am not getting reporting flag.
I tried what did u say.
And today i did not get the records. Infopackages didnot run. It shows in red.
I tried to run it manually but it gives error.
The error message is:
Short text
    An exception occurred that was not caught.
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere
     along
    the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
    adequately responded to, the running ABAP program 'SAPLRRMS' has to be
    terminated.
Please give me the reply.
Thanks in advance

Anjali

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
