Bex reporting indicator in DSO's - table to check

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to check all the DSO's BEX reporting flag whether selected or not. Is there any table to check this settting. I have verified RSDODSO but couldn't get it. If aany one know any other way please let me know .
Thanks in advance.

ODS Bex Reporting Indicator

Hello All
We are using BW V3.5 and an ODS 0FIGL_O02. In the data model, this ODS was feeding up to a cube and we were reporting off a multiprovider. We encountered load and performance issues so as part of a model review we switched off the Bex Reporting Indicator in the ODS settings. It made little difference to our performance problem so we simplified the model and decided to report off the ODS after switching back on the indicator. We transported the ODS and the report separately.
This solution worked fine in our DEV and QAS clients but not in the live system. Using Bex we can open the query in prod but when we run (via a portal) we are getting the error message that "ODS 0FIGL_O02 not configured for Bex Reporting". Also if we attempt to create a new report on the ODS in Bex the ODS cannot be found.
We can see the Bex indicator is on in all clients. We have used RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE to check the ODS consistency in all clients and in Prod we get an amber light with the message "The Bex reporting was switched on for ODS object 0FIGL_O02" and a green light with the message "ODS object 0FIGL_O02 is consistent".
We have tried creating a new ODS using 0FIGL_O02 to copy from but again encounter the same problem in Prod.
Does anyone have any input or come across the same problem ? Should we create a brand new ODS ...?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Helen,
You can switch On BEx reporting, even ODS contains data. Initial activation of ODS takes time, as it tries to create/generates SID's for historic data.
Using "Foreign Key Relationship of Reporting-Relevant ODS Object and SID Table Characteristics" showed 2 red lights for data entries in the ODS, fine, but a data issue shouldnu2019t affect the ODS Object status?
We also get an amber light that BEx Reporting was switched on for the ODS u2013 how would we get this light to green given we canu2019t change settings in live client u2013 have already tried OSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE and as previous posting re transporting.
Try to correct in RSRV, using option correct at menu bar. Have you tried, are you getting any message...? after correction do test again... it should be green.
Try to find out any program or function module and reactivate ODS data again to generate SID's again.
Hope it Helps

BEx report : Time diff HH:MM average Issue

Hello Guys
below is my Issue with BEx report.
I have a table with has d1 and d2 and t1 and t2.
I want the diff between them in only HH:MM, using any of the function modules.
I have got the HH:HH value into my DSO.
Then I converted the HH:HH into HH:MM in the BEx.
Now my report requirement.
I want to display the report with yearly , monthly and daily information -
let say my boss wants to compare Average time ( HH:MM) between June and July of 2007.
the report should be
year ++++++++ month ++++++ daily ++++++++ rec#++++++++ diff
2007++++++++ June++++++++ 01++++++++ 123++++++++ 31.36
2007++++++++ June++++++++ 01++++++++ 124++++++++ 11.23
2007++++++++ June ++++++++ 03 ++++++++ 152 ++++++++ 18.21
2007++++++++ July ++++++++ 01++++++++ 157 ++++++++ 12.27
2007++++++++ July++++++++ 08 ++++++++ 124 ++++++++ 15.33
now when you look at the above report layout.....what i want is to display the average time ( diff) for month of june and july.
so the average time diff of the month of june will be ( total time / record count ). same for july.
so the result should be for
JUNE - (32.36 + 11.23 + 18.21) / 3
JULY - (12.27+15.33) / 2
also it should convert the decimals (MM) into hours after 60.
I am getting the sub total for month June as ((32.36 + 11.23 + 18.21) / 3).
Its not converting the MM in HH even after 60 Min. say for example its showning 40:67. but the correct value should be 41:07
hope you got my issue.could you please suggest the solution as to how can i get the correct value under the month sub- total.
thanks,
pratap.

Hello venku chittidi ,
Thanks for the reply.
But the User wants to display the values in HH:MM instead of MM.
would it be possible to calcuate HH:MM from HH:HH in the transformation.
thanks

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.

ODS reporting without Bex Reporting activated

Hello
As part of a review I have been doing on our current BW data loading strategy I have uncovered a number of ODS objects that have the Bex reprorting indicator active. The consequence of this is that it has a negative impact on performance when loading data into BW, particularly if we have to re-initialise the data.
We currently do not actually report off the ODS object and from the research I have done the consensus seems to be that you should leave the bex reporting indicator turned off unless absolutely necessary and to use an infoset for reporting.
In the coming week we will be faced with having to reload 15 millions+ records back into these ODS objects after doing a redesign so thought it a good time to untick this option.
I should mention that we are using a BW 3.5 system.
Any comments would be appreciated and if the preference is to use an infoset, then can someone give a practical example why you would ever want to set an ODS to allow bex reporting other than the obvious response of not wanting to create an infoset Would i be correct in stating that I wouldn't be able to use indexes to aid performance if i use infosets. I'm reluctant to pass this data into an infocube given the amount of data as it contains asset transaction postings.
An additional side question which is more for my personal interest is whether it is true that it is not preferential to include ODS objects (or infosets) within a multiprovider given that strictly speaking the ODS object is not multi-dimensional. I recently read this in an article and had not considered this before so was wondering if it is correct.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Regards
Mark

Hi Christoper
Thank you for your response. You seem very passionate about not reporting on ODS objects
What I do find interesting is that there are a number of standard content ODS objects which do have the bex reporting indicator active.
I'm forming the view that if you do not have performance issue considerations loading data into ODS objects and you can control the amount of data selected via reporting using indexes and query restrictions etc then an ODS is still useful for reporting or alternatively the infoset option. That said, this does not apply to the ODS objects I was referring to in my main post and I will be deselecting the bex reporting indicator before re-initialising the data.
I have always been led to believe by people who know more about BW than myself that the infocube is designed for summarised / targeted multidimensional data and that storing line item information in an infocube seems to be contrary to this position.
Our current design approach standard in that we load data into a staging layer (Generally ODS objects, most of which do not allow bex reporting, and some of which contain line item information), then into a transformation layer (generally infocubes) and finally we report out of multi-providers in our reporting layer.
Our general reporting strategy has been that operational style reports which would include line item reporting should be done within ECC and all other strategic, summarised reporting etc is delivered in BW.

ODS-BEx Reporting

Hi
I am creating an ODS and I am trying to figure out how to enable the BEx Reporting service.
I expand Settings tab but, unfortunately, there is not there.
Any help??
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am using BI 7.0

Hi Anster

Bex Percentage Indicator in the WebI report (# Multivalue)

Hi All!
I'm having a difficulty to produce a Bex percentage indicator to a WEB I report.
This is the result of my query:
Cycles
Qty1
Qty2
(Qty1%AQty2)
1
100
200
50%
2
200
200
100%
3
300
300
100%
4
400
400
100%
So far the report remains perfect.
When I remove Cycles dimension report, but let the cycles 1,2,3 and 4 in the Query filter, the result is # Multivalue for Qty1%AQty2) measure.
We tried all kinds of aggregation in BO or in Bex query, and The Sum aggregation results the sum of the percentages, when need is that the formula is made again with the totals.
What we need is it looks like this:
Qty1
Qty2
(Qty1%AQty2)
800
1100
72%
Is there any way to make this in Bex and then translate to BO? The formula should be Sum (qte1) / Sum (qty2) *100?
Or some syntax, that the bo understands what he need to regroup and give the right percentage?
The final user needs the indicator create in the Universe, not in the report. (In the report works, but not in the Universe measure ).
I donu2019t know if you get the idea, but I am available for any doubts.
Specification:
SAP BO XI r3
SAP BW 7.0
Tks a lot!
Livia

Have you tried:
= ( sum([Qty1]) / sum ([Qty2]) ) * 100
or...
= ( sum([Qty1]) ForAll [Cycles] / sum ([Qty2])ForAll [Cycles] ) * 100
You could create some global CKF (creating CKF as local structure formula will not work) in BEx. Go to properties, calculation, Calculate Results As... Sum. You may need to use exception aggregation. Find a characteristic that is the same value for all cycles and use that as the exception aggregation reference characteristic. Using BEx may be the best idea if you have a high volume of records since Webi performance on high volumes is not great.

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.

Yogesh

BO migration from BEx reports

One of my client is running on SAP IS Retail 6.0, and they have few BW reports. Now they are looking for migrating the BEx reports to BO XI.
They do not want to change anything, but want to port the reports as is to BO from BEx.
My previous experience of porting BEx reports to BO as is, without puting extra filters of something, to reduce the huge data size images was not good at all.
Is there any way to have better performance in BO than the current BEx performance, if we want to port the reports as is without any structural change?
Please share your experience with me.

My company is running Webi reports using BOBJ XI 3.1 (up to current fixpack level) on SAP BI 7.01 EHP1-SP5. This config gives 50% reduction in Memory, 30% improvement in runtimes, on average compared to 7.0 BI, according to SAP. But is it good enough for full corporate deployment?
My understanding of the Webi <-> SAP BI architecture is that we still have a large image sent to the XI Box from the query -> universe -> Webi report refresh. The big flaw here in my view is that Webi is disconnected from the OLAP database tables after the refresh, thus must 'image' everything the report requires, in our case into a 32 bit Windows NT box.
This is quite different from the SAP BI OLAP front-end model, in which user navigations are threaded in various ways (sometimes from cache, from aggregates, from indexes on the DSO characteristics etc), as we can see in our BI OLAP processing steps in BI statistics.
After the Webi refresh, there are no 'threads', or calls, back to BI ABAP tables, as the Webi report has to represent all the potential navigation in the MDX model. For this reason it seems a fundamentally resource-intensive architecture, that can induce instability when very large sets of data are retrieved in concurrent user sessions. By "large" think of the 'cubed' size (count of characteristics X count of key figures X number of transactions).
If user activity results in concurrent refresh calls to generate large report 'images' from SAP BI, I have observed 100% CPU freeze in BOBJ XI, and user lockout until resources are again freed up, which can take a very long time for certain reports. Subsequently when the large images are subjected to user OLAP navigations, CPU processing again will spike.
When running large image reports, the Webi performance has been an 'order of magnitude' slower than our reports running on ABAP web. Unfortunately, the risk is greater than just slow performance - there is the CPU and memory resources that are engaged during that extended processing interval as well.
Much depends on the normal level of user activity. This is a matter of simple statistics. Say your overalll production BI system load averages ten users per hour running reports. If Webi report runtime averages 30 minutes per refresh, and BEx ABAP runs in 5 minutes, the probabillity of concurrent resource collisions is much higher - from 10% to 50%, thus the situation can snowball rapidly.
I think SAP is working very hard on this problem, but has issued guidance as recently as May 2009, that if you have current BEx reports that are working, don't migrate them all yet. Unfortunately our users are anxious to run everything in the Webi tool, because it is indeed a super user interface.
However, customers have until 2016 until the Bex tools are phased out. Interviewed by Searchsap, Jonathan Becher, SAP Sr. VP, said, "There are lots of scenarios that BEx does just fine, if you're confident using BEx, don't rush." The same article also quoted Cindy Coyle of Coors, who had tested the Webi BOBJ: ""Don't go near Business Objects [until you get a BWA]," Coyle said, "because it'll only add more performance problems on top of what's there today."

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.

BEx Report Performance with selection-screen input

Hello Gurus,
My Bex report is working fine when the report had run with out PLANT filter in the selection-screen but when report had run with plant in the selection-screen , report running for forever.
Please let me know what I need to do improve the performance.
Saleem.

Hi Saleem, Just a few thoughts;
1. Check the M-table in RSD1 for 0PLANT. In Table View edit any blank or null values. Run the same restrictions you apply in the query at Info provider level > Display Data. If there's any lapse; you can judge where exactly the problem lies.
2. If you are using Infocube & that your master is >20% fact; you can declare the Info object as 'Line Item Dimension'.
3. Create Variants. Esp. if you are running the query for same set of data. Try Variable Preselection: You can restrict both the values + varaiables in the filter level. When you execute the values will be visibly pre-selected in selection screen.
4. As discussed in previous messages, running a SQL trace using RSRT may prove useful.

How to remove the '#'symbols for infoobject movement types in bex reporting

Hi All,
I have a problem in Bex reporting. The problem is when ever executing the report that time some of the characteristic values is shown in layout '#' Symbols. i want to remove the '#' valuse in report.
is it possible please give me step by step procedure for how to remove the '#' Symbols in reporing layout.
this is very urgent please help to me on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Guna.

Hi Guna,
To achieve this issue, we need to replace the value of #, we need to change the description while retrieving the data from tables. So we need to write some ABAP code in SE38. Go to RSA1 transaction and go to Info objects tab. Then go to context menu for cProject Key Figures as shown below. Click on the Object Overview to get the overview of all the info objects. Here you can see the field names which are used to know the table names.
In SE11, type the table name in Database Table field. Now press F4, then you will get the next screen to select one of the P/Q/S/T tables.
Now click on the button rounded in the below screen to view the data in the table.
Now click the execute button or press F8 to view the records.
Now go to Tcode: SE38. Create a source code and give some program name for that source code. To write code, you need access key. Contact your BASIS for this.
Now write the below code for that particular table in which you want to change the value # to description Blank. In the below source code, we are updating particular table, setting the field as Blank where it is null or no value. Here the field will automatically get updated to # if there is no value or null.
update /BIC/PXXXXX set /BIC/ZXXXX = 'Blank' where /BIC/ZXXXXX is null or /BIC/ZXXXX = ''.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
write 'successful'.
commit work.
else.
write 'unsuccessful'.
endif.
OR
If this # is because of the missing master data than,
right click that IO -> maintain master
you will see first row as a blank.
whatever value you maintain in this row that will come in the report for all Not assigned # values of the master data in the report.
maintain it according to your requirement, save and activate the master data
Hope this helps u...

KK.

GR and IR as separate columns in the BEx report

Hi,
I am working on a Purchasing report in which the user needs the snap shot of PO history,Like PO no.,Item,Netprice,PO Qty,Net order value,GR no.,IR number etc.
I created a view on EKPO and EKBE.Here,based on the BELNR(Material document) field we are taking GR and IR values.(When VGABE =1 BELNR=GR and VGABE = 2 BELNR=IR).I created DSO to load the data.The problem is they need the GR and IR as separate columns in the BEx report.Could u please help me how to achieve this in BI?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Neel,
I need the BELNR has to be split into GR No.and IR No. separately based on VGABE field.

BEx Report Display - Transformation Rule Issue - Urgent

I have 2 fields one Key Figure : "Amount (Datatype-CURR / length-13)" and one Characteristics : "Indicator (Datatype-CHAR / length-1)" in the source system.
I need to display the Amount field with +/- depending on the Indicator field which has only 2 values S(Credit) and H(Debit) in the BEx Report.
How can I handle this issue. Please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Shekar

Create 2 Key Figures.
One restricted with S(Credit) and another restricted with H(Debit).
Create another canculated Key Figure and multiply with -1 for the u want to do.
Then add the 2 filed if you want to and display and keep the others in No Display.

Bex Report issue - transaction data of type Char not dispalyed complete

Hi BI Expers ,
I have one issue related to Bex reports here
I have complete data loaded in DSO , there is one field Job Title which is having a length of 60 char . When I am executing the report in Bex Analyzer , the value for Job Title is getting truncated after 30 characters . Although full 60 chararacters are loaded in DSO still I am not able to present them in reports .
Can some one help here , whether this is Analyzer limitation or is there some setting to fix this issue .
Regards
Anurag

Hi Anurag,
Check the Output length of the object that is giving out put as 30 charecters.
And check in Business Explorer tab option for BEx Description short, medium or High.
Hope this helps.
