BI Bex Query prompt based on User's Authorization....

Hi
In BI, I created 1 BEx Query based on Authorization. If a user runs the query, it prompts for 'Customer Name' to get data of particular customer. And Customer values are populated in the prompt based on User's Authorization.
For example:
User1 is authorized to see data of Customer1 & Customer2. So, Query prompt will show 2 values: 'Customer1' & 'Customer2'.
But User2 is authorized to see data of Customer1, so Query prompt will show 'Customer1' only.
I created 2 variables on Customer field:
1) Authorization Variable in Filter Section
2) Manual, Single Entry, Mandatory on Default Value section.
My Requirement:
If user is authorized to link with only 1 Customer, he should not get prompt & on the background prompt value should be populated from his authorization value. But if user is authorized to see multi-customers, then prompt should appear.
If possible pls. provide some suggestions....
Thanks...

Yes, this can be done.
but there is little work around.. Using guided navigations
1. Create a report with column fx as case when 1=0 then markets.region else user() end
2. apply filter on this column is equal to User_1
3. Create another report with column fx as case when 1=0 then markets.region else user() end
4. apply filter on this column is equal to User_2
5. Now add all your prompts to dashboard, but each prompt should in each section object of dashboard.
6. For first section click on section properties, go to Guided Navigation...
7. Browse Source Request as first report.. and keep If request returns rows selected.
8. Repeat above step for another section.. but this time browse 2nd report.
9. Just save dashboard.
Check now..
Hope you understood..

Bex Query prompt

Hi Experts,
I have added End_date(zc_edat) in bex query filter panel and restricted with characteristic type variable Authcode End date( Ref char is zc_edat).
Now the requirement is i want the same field (zc_edat) in query filter panel restricted with charcteristic type variable Expiration date (Ref char is zc_edat).
So there will be 2 fields in the prompt, one is restricted with authcode variable and other is with expiration date.
Please guide me how to implement this. Thanks is advance.

We can restrict the same characteristic with two types of elements
by adding as many in your selections.

Hi Arjun
Please check the SAP portal and BI system version and then check the compatibility for BEx Query in IE9.
Refer to http://service.sap.com/pam >> Click on SAP Netweaver version, here you can find the PDF files.
BI (BEX Web) is supported on IE9 with SAP porta version 7.0 SPS24 in vista or windows 7 if you SAP portal version is 7.0

Broadcast based on user's authorization

Hi
I have to broadcast the reports based on the user authorization. What are the possible ways of achieving this?
1. Is it possible to execute the report only once and send the reports to different users based on thier authorization?
2. For example, there are four sales organization and i want to send reports to users with only the sales org data he/she authorized to see. For this, do we have to create four user roles restricting it to the sales org? if any other way, please suggest.
3. Is it possible to apply user's authorization on the file created by broadcasting? Basically i want to execute the report only once through broadcasting and apply the user's authorization and then burst the report data to the different users based on thier authorization.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sadeesh

Dear Sadeesh,
We have teh similar Req in our project. We need to Broadcast BI Repotrt to Multiple User based on Their Authorization which has been maintained in BI. Do you have solution for this? Do we need to make some necesssary Settings in User Profile?
Thanks In Adv.

How to create a Query iView based on user's parameter?

Hello,
I've created a Query iView which depends on a Costumize parameter that the user enters - On stage 5 of the wizard I've entered a customize parameter on a certain field and called it "user_param". The wizard entered the Query: WHERE... = {$user_param}. So far so good...
My question is, after creating this iView, how Do I implement it at the Portal so the user will have a place to enter his parameter and receive the result?
when opening the Query I don't see such place. According to SPA's documentation, the user should enter the parameter at the "personalize" menu. When I put this iView in a page and open the "Personalize" menu there is no such place.
Which further configurations should I do in order it to work?

If you open the iview, there should be a personalize property or setting for the URL parameter. Make sure that it is set to read/write. I just got off a portal project where I did a few of these, but I don't have access to one right now, so I can't give you the exact steps, but you should get the idea.
Good luck,

Usage of Different Prompt based on Users Role in OBIEE

Hi
I have a requirement(OBIEE Reports) as below.
The Dashboard page will have a Prompt(Drop Down) Say for Geography where it will list all the countries available.When a global user(Role) logs in to the application he should see all the list of available countries along with "All Choice" option in the prompt.But when a Country user(Role) logs in he should see only the country available for him in the prompt without "All Choice" Option.Also if the Country user(Role) belongs to more then one country he should see all countries he belongs to along with the "All Choice" option in the prompt.
Any help on this is Appreciated.

Hi
Like David points, you may use Security Groups to display 1 or more Countries to the User depending upon 'Global' or 'Country'. You will have to use content filters to reflect the scope of the user in session.
Then 'All Choices' is a prompt front-end feature. You cannot restrict to 'Country' but 'Country' anyway cant see more rows that he is eligible. So, you may consider 'All Choices' for all users.
Try and tell us if this worked for you

Dynamic change in the query name based on user input

Hi Gurus,
In a scenario, country appears as a user input variable.When the user specifies his country, the same query displays Business trends' data pertaining to his own country and rest of the world(international) in two tables.The reports are developed using Web application designer.
Can the name(description) of the query be changed so that the user input value for country gets dynamically reflected in the query name like Business trends:Selected country vs International?
Regards,
Balaji

Hi Bala,
ya this can be done by text variables. create a text variable( replacement path on the country infoobject) by going to the query properties on the description.
if the user enters country value then it will be displaed on the description of the query .
assign points if useful .

Query Differentiation based on User Designation

UR,
Interesting situation ... I am just guessing here but I guess this must be possible...
For creating queries in production - create two roles ...
X Query creation - use RS_COMP and give create / modify for queries X*
create one similar for Y*
Assign both roles to your super users and X* for your power users ..?
I am not sure if I have got the component right but there is a component that can be used to control query access by X* or Y*...

Hello Eric,
The first argument is a Unique Group Id, you can find it in User Administration->Roles->Navigate to the role->Edit->copy the content of "Unique ID" field.
The second argument is true if you what to search recursively, means if the user assigned to a group.

How to query Group based on User? isMemberOfGroup?

EP6 SP2...
I am trying to find a way to see if a user is a member of a certain group.
But am having no luck.
I tried using the IUser.isMemberOfGroup()...
but I am not sure what the arguments(String arg0, Boolean arg1) should be.
If I want to know if the logged on user is a member of "Group A", what would my code be?
I tried...
IUser User = request.getUser();
if (User.isMemberOfGroup("ExternalBW", true))
{ do this }
else
{ do that }
In my case, I would have expected to do this.
What should the String arg be for isMemberOfGroup? The name of the group?

Hello Eric,
The first argument is a Unique Group Id, you can find it in User Administration->Roles->Navigate to the role->Edit->copy the content of "Unique ID" field.
The second argument is true if you what to search recursively, means if the user assigned to a group.

How to change the portal role presentation based on users BW authorization?

Hello,
I have created 3 BW Roles, each one contains an iView with a certain report.
For simplicity let's name the Roles A,B,C and assume that in order to see the proper report the user needs to be assigned to the matching group (A,B,C) at the BW side.
I have imported these 3 roles to the portal as worksets, created new pcd role, placed these 3 worksets inside the new role and assigned this role to a certain group of users in the portal (these users are ABAP users so they are the same at the BW side as well).
What I would like to do is this: I would like that each user that I have assigned this new role to will see only the worksets that he/she allowed to see based on it's BW authorization. Meaning, if I have been assigned roles A and B at the BW I will see only worksets A and B inside the role.
The problem is this: From the portal I cannot assign the users to the BW groups and from BW I cannot control pcd roles so this kind of change requires me to make two modifications: One for authorization from the BW and one for presentation from the portal. I would like to manage it just from one place, either from the BW or from the portal, I don't care.
How can I achieve this?

I think I have found a solution: Export it as a role instead of a workset and do one to one assignments with the BW groups.

Hello,
Using guided navigation properties for section, we can achieve your first requirement.
How many prompts to be shown?
depends on that number, you have to create those many reports in answers like,
take one column to criteria and change functionaityt to case when 1=0 then Markets. Region else user() end
apply filter on this equals to UserA (for userA), say ReportA
for UserB filter has to change to UserB, say ReportB...etc
Now, add all the prompts to dashboard, but each section (dashboard object) for each prompt.
Go to section properties of each and select guided navigation property. The section which is holding the PromptA (should be shown to userA) then browse the reportA for guided navigation and click ok
LIke this do for all prompts.
Hope you understood...
if any queries ask me..
And for 2nd Q, in prompt, you have Select captio option which is the last option for all prompts,
Write something there and check

Performance Issue Executing a BEx Query in Crystal Report E 4.0

Dear Forum
I'm working for a customer with big performance issue Executing a BEx Query in Crystal via transient universe.
When query is executed directly against BW via RSRT query returns results in under 2 seconds.
When executed in crystal, without the use of subreports multiple executions (calls to BICS_GET_RESULTS) are seen. Runtimes are as long as 60 seconds.
The Bex query is based on a multiprovider without ODS.
The RFC trace shows BICS connection problems, CS as BICS_PROV_GET_INITIAL_STATE takes a lot of time.
I checked the note 1399816 - Task name - prefix - RSDRP_EXECUTE_AT_QUERY_DISP, and itu2019s not applicable because the customer has the BI 7.01 SP 8 and it has already
            domain RSDR0_TASKNAME_LONG in package RSDRC with the
            description: 'BW Data Manager: Task name - 32 characters', data
            type: CHAR; No. Characters: 32, decimal digits: 0
            data element RSDR0_TASKNAME_LONG in package RSDRC with the
            description 'BW Data Manager: Task name - 32 characters' and the
            previously created domain.
as described on the message
Could you suggest me something to check, please?
Thanks en advance

Hi,
It would be great if you would quote the ADAPT and tell the audience when it is targetted for a fix.
Generally speaking, CR for Enteprise isn't as performant as WebI, because uptake was rather slow .. so i'm of the opinion that there is improvements to be gained.   So please work with Support via OSS.
My onlt recommendations can be :
- Patch up to P2.12 in bi 4.0
- Define more default values on the Bex query variables.
- Implement this note in the BW 1593802    Performance optimization when loading query views

Olap Universe Based on BEx Query - Cascading Prompt

I need to get two prompts: 1) Division 2) Group. Division has to be selected first and then Group. I understand I have to create cascading prompt. In the universe, in default hierarchy, group stands before before division. I have created a custon hierarchy like: Division, Group. I used Tools -> List of Values ->Create cascading list of values and then selected the right dimensions and then clicked on Generate LOVs. Then I have exported it to the repository. But I cannot see any reflection at the report level. So, some questions came in my mind:
1) Where can I check in the universe whether my cascading prompt has been created or not ?
2) I am using L01 Dimension. But underneath, there are two dimensions called LovDivision and LoVDivisionBase which are in Italic. I believe integration kit creates this. It is the same as Group. So, my question is: Am I selecting the right dimesnsions ? Or, should I select those in Italic.
3) Actually, these two prompts (variables) [along with others] are already created in BEx which I can see in my report. My plan is, if my cascading prompts work, I will tell the BW developer to remove those two. Do you think that these existing prompts are creating any problem.
I would really appreciate your response.

Hi
1) Where can I check in the universe whether my cascading prompt has been created or not ?
Have you entered the cascading object in the webi query condition.At the run time it will generate hierarchy in the tree structure.
2) I am using L01 Dimension. But underneath, there are two dimensions called LovDivision and LoVDivisionBase which are in Italic. I believe integration kit creates this. It is the same as Group. So, my question is: Am I selecting the right dimensions ? Or, should I select those in Italic.
correct you are using right objects L01.By mdx driver it will create by default L00 and L01 objects.neglect the Lo00 objects.You can hide them in the universe or go to refresh structure and their is option to replace L00 definition with some other definition.
3) Actually, these two prompts (variables) along with others are already created in BEx which I can see in my report. My plan is, if my cascading prompts work, I will tell the BW developer to remove those two. Do you think that these existing prompts are creating any problem.
By default when you are creating universe based on the mdx drivers it will convert Bex query filters in the universe condition as mandatory filter and applied on the full universe.
You can go to the universe condition and open the condition and unchecked the option from their and after that these will not prompt in the webi query.
Thanks,
Amit
