Bex reporting Ontime Performance KPI using RKF

Hi
I'm working on On time performarnce report and I used below logic in ODS to Cube update rules , If days < 8 Ontime else Late.
Now In the Bex Query I'm using RKF to find the number of items on time = TOTAL ITEMS & restricting by ontime flag above AND number of items late = TOTAL ITEMS and late flag.
When I run the init load its working but when the delta runs I'm getting negative items count (On time or late) and its not matching with total items when I add the ontime and late...
So I changed the logic in update rules to bring the flag only for record mode = 'N' (For deltas only initialization done normally). Now I'm not getting negatives but my on time and late counts are not matching with total number of items and sometimes its more than total items when I add the on time and late items...Can any one please advice how to get this...Thanks

Can you please try reloading and doing a fresh load.
I think there is still some problem in your calculation. Please check once restricting in the Info Provider if the values are coming as expected.
Do post back if the issue is not solved.
Please do close the thread if that answers your questions. Please help us keep the forums clean and open useful information only.

Unable to Open Bex report from SAP APO User Menu

Hi All,
I am an SAP APO consultant, and have not miuch expereice in BEx reporting. As APO uses Build in BI for reporting and pulling history from either external BW or R/3.
Now my issue all BEx reports we use are assigned ot my user menu and when I select a report, I would expect report to open but an excel sheet opens and closes and nothing happens. However I am able to open this reports from my desktop menu selecting Business explorer and Analyzer and linking my SAP system. I use Excel 2007 , Is this some compactibilty issue or is there anything I need to do?

Hi KV,
There's a couple of possible root cause why you dont see properly the Bex Report.
Can you share to me the APO version and the BW software component being used?
In case this is still in the 3.x, 4.x APO, I think, a separate BW add on is needed for you to run your BEx report properly. You can ask your basis team for this separate installation.
Btw, is this report working before, meaning was it pulled successfully already in the past?
Can you try doing this again in a separate workstation, as the BW add on is installed separately per workstation.
Its possible that this is also an auth issue that the user you are using is not capable enough to run BEx.
As of now, I have not encountered any Bex issue that is related with the Excel version, I have tried running Bex in Excel 2007 no issue also. I think it maybe more related with the OS you are using, if its in Vista already what I know is you need to add your excel as a trusted document before you can run bex fro Vista.
Let me think of other possibilities.
Hope this helps.

BEX Report on Fiscal Report Year

Hello Experts,
        I have Report Year and Fiscal Period/Year as a characteristics. In one of my BEX reports, I have to use Report Year as moving Year defined by user when they run query. For example,
In selection criteria, user may enter Fiscal Report Year like 006/2001. So, query will collect data for each Fiscal Report Year under column FRY 2002 (starting from 006/2001 to 005/2002); under column 2003 (006/2002 to 005/2003);.........;under column 2005 (006/2004 to 005/2005).
Again, if user enters 002/2001 as a Fiscal Report Year then query will provide data like under coulmn FRY 2002 (starting from 002/2001 to 001/2002); under column 2003 (002/2002 to 001/2003);.........;under column 2005 (002/2004 to 001/2005).
It will appear like:
          FRY 2002    FRY 2003    FRY 2004    FRY 2005
1 Month     100        50          200         100
2 Months    10050     5050       200100     100200
3 Months    10050200 5050100   20010050 100200100
and so on.
Total of 12 Months starts from the period that user will give and doesn't follow Jan to Dec.
Can some one please help me how can I define query with this type of moving 12 months total for given char.? Please let me know if you need more information. I will appreciate your help. Thanks.

Kate

How to find BEx queries that were not used along with no of times executed

Hi SDN,
I need build a query which shows the BEx reports that were not used and also the number times the query was executed.
I built the query on "multiprovider 0TCT_MC01" in which I used the KF "0TCTQUCOUNT" then the query is not capturing this information, while executing from Portal. ( as stated in /thread/716593 [original link is broken]).
If anybosy happen to know the solution please share.
Also
as stated in this link (BW 3.5 Statistics - User Hits)
Is there any infoobject which has the exact functionality as of the "0TCTNAVCTR" of 0BWTC_C02 (we can not use 0BWTC_C02 as we are in BW 7 SP16).
I think it is very well known issue but there is not any exact solution to it if anybody finds the solution please update this points will be assigned
Thank you,
Prasaad

Hi,
Try from one of these tables RSZRANGE, RSZELTXREF,
RSZELTTXT,RSRREPDIR,RSZSELECT,RSZCOMPDIR.
There is a field 'Last Used'.
You can get some info when Query was used last

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.

Bex Report Performance

Dear Friends,
I would like to know is the complex authorizations can also cause the Bex report performance.
One of my scenerio is like there are two users A & B
A is having relevant authorizations for reporting, Drill down etc which are required.
B is having SAP All authorization.
When the same report has been executed by both users on the same system.
the data retrieved by user B(SAP_ALL authorization) is quite faster than User A.
Its like ther diffference of about 10 minutes.
There are some exsclude selections in report.
So my conclusion is like the complex authorizations do also hampers the query performance.
Please confirm & share your views.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Vivek
     Can you help us understand what was the exact problem and how you resolved it / solution at Extraction / Modeling / Reporting end.
     I have a quite similiar issue with my report i have Header + Item report on Infoset
u2022     Header report takes seconds and item report takes minutes
u2022     The same report executed with exact parameter has inconsistent performance results meaning one time it takes 1 minutes next time same report same user and same authorization takes 5 minutes.
    Any help on this would be really greatfull. Suspecting is not an issue with the report at all , as no changes happened between the pre and post check.
_Additional Information : _
We Create Secondary -Bitmap index every week end i do not see that is one of the route cause.
Except that we have our regular daily loads that are running for master data loads and transaction data loads in series.
   Thanks in Advance.
Much Regards

Strange performance issue in bex report

Hello Experts,
I have a performance issue on my bex report.
I'm running the report with below selection criteria and getting 'too much data' error.
Country : equals EMEA
Category: not equlas 13
Date : 02/2010 to 12/2010.
But when I ran the report for smaller date ranges the number of records are not exceeding 13000.
02.2010 - 06.2010 - 6,555 rows
07.2010 - 09.2010 - 3,671 rows
10.2010 - 12.2010 - 2,780 rows
I know excel can't fit more than 65000 records, but I'm expecting 13000 records for my wide date range which excel can easily fit.
Any ideas on this one will be appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
For Question 1:
In query designer Go to the Query properties and select the tab "Variable Sequence", here you can set the order of variables as per you requirement.
For Question 2:
There will be a option "Hide Repeated Key values", if you uncheck this option then you will have the values for each row even though the material values are same.
Note; if you are viewing the report in web or WAD report you need to make the same changes in the Web template also because the settings in the query designer will be overridden when you run the query in web.
Hope this helps.

Using Report-to-Report Interface (RRI) in BEx Report Designer?

Dear experts,
I would like to know if it is possible to use Report-to-Report Interface in BEx Report Designer?
From what I read from this article
[(Creating Formatted reports using BEx Report Designer)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00ae5173-6112-2d10-d78f-e7779d269f25?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true], the RRI capability of query is not supported in BEx report. So is it true? And are there any workarounds to enable/emulate RRI capability in BEx Report?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joon

Hi Joon,
It is possible to make RRI in BEX Report Designer by using Transaction Code - RSBBS .
Here you need to give the Target Query and Source Query names and than you can easily connect two reports or two levels of same report.
For further step wise description please check the below SDN document :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/607e63d5-b56f-2c10-718f-8e33a08baa89?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
I hope this document helps to sort out the queries.

Using cumulated values for further calculation in a bex report

Hi ya'll,
I have a problem with using cumulated values in a bex report.
the report has three lines:
Values 1: 100 200 300
Values 2: 10 5 40
Values 3: 1000 500 4000
The values of row 3 is a formula multiplying the values from row 1 and 2... My problem is that the values of row 3 are wrong - for example 200*5 isn't supposed to result in 500 !!
I figure the reason is that the values of row 1 is a cumulated result, meaning the actual value of the second column of the first row i 100 (and not 200).
How can I ensure that my formula for row 3 uses the cumulated result from row 1, instead of the underlying result ?.

Create a column structure with Actual Value columns as well as cumulated value columns. Hide Actual Value Columns from display.
Example :
Actual1 | Actual 2 | Actual 3 | *** 1 | *** 2 | *** 3 |
100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 200 | 300 |
You can create a forumla to calculate Value 3 : (Actual 1 * Value 2 ).
I guess you are using Cell Referencing to achieve this.

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

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.

Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

Hello,
i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting. Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
So , if you have any feedback , advise....
thanks in advance,
Rgds,

Hi,
WEBI don't replace BEX reports, is for different audience, in fact BEX is for OLAP reports and analysis.
