BO Universe/webi

Dear all,
Please help in following issues.
we have concepts like calculated keffigure,restricted keyfigure,exceptions,condtions,Customer exits in sap bw .
how this can be achived in universe and webi.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
If you have the BOE and the corresponding SAP Integration Kit of same version installed, then you can consume the query or cubes available in BW system in Universe Designer.
In Universe Designer you can create a OLAP connection to your BW system and then a Universe by selecting any query or cube.
In Webi, you can consume this universe and create a report.

How do I install UNIVERSE WEB BROWSER?

Any one can help me?... I downloaded UNIVERSE WEB BROWSER but there is not any .ipk application. Can you help me to install in my pre2?....I use webos2.2.4. Thank you!!
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Unlocked NA)

If it's a webOS app then you can install it using Preware.

BOE3.1 universe含中文,创建web service不可用.

环境：BOE3.1 SP2
创建的universe中含有的字段信息为中文。
在Query as a Web Service中创建web sevices，得到的连接串放到IE中报以下错误：
An error occured at line: 12: error: '商??实际ID' is not a valid NCName.
请问如何解决，谢谢

你试试将Universe的对象都改成英文，这样在Qaaws时就不会出错，然后在XC里把那些字段名字换成中文。
所以建议专门针对XC做一个Universe，不要跟WEBI共用一个。

R/3 Infoset -- Bex Query -- Universe -- WebI / Xcelsius

Hi there,
i got a hint that it should be possible to connect an Infoset with a Bex Query, but i'm not sure if they mean a R/3 Infoset or a BI Infoset. I know that a connection from an universe to an BI Infoset works but does this also work for an R/3 Infoset ?
Thanks Sebastian

Hi,
This Infoset is an BI Infoset not R/3 infoset.
We dont have an directoption to connect either WebI/Xcelsius with R/3.If you want to connect Xcelsius with R/3 we have to us Data Federator.Here we have an option to use FM,Infoset Query.

Does Merge dimension button work on BI OLAP Universe webi reports

Hello all,
we are using BI 7.0 queries as our datasource for creating universes. When we are using the webi rich client to create a query, there is add query button and we are able to add query but once I add query I am not able see the Merge dimensions button active, is there some setting that is missing or this capability is not active for BI OLAP query universes?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

HI,
Merge Dimension button is working on webi report based on OLAP universes.
Check you have the rights in CMC for merge dimension if it is happening all reports.
Under Home > BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications > Web Intelligence it is possible to set the Merge dimensions for synchronization right for groups and users.

Performance - Crystal on top of BEx against Cube - Universe - WebI

Hello All,
We are using Crystal Reports built on top of BEx queries. The BEx queries use aggregates and we have a good performance. My question is
Can we create an Universe on top of Info Cube and build WebI and expect the same performance as we get now? I have not seen any documentation about the BIA or Aggregates are being used by Buiness Objects yet. Could anyone throw some light at this?
Thanks,
Arthur.

Hi,
you would build a Universe on top of the BW query and the query would still use the aggregates from your BW system like it was doing that before.
aggregates and the usage of BIA are transparent to the BusinessObjects tools.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Creating webi/crystal report on BEx and retrieving data, an error ocured?

Hi Experts,
I have a problem which many couldnt able to provide a better solution and solve it.
Need your expert solutions.
Installed SAP BI with BO(R/3) integration kit SP3.
Created WEBI report on BEx report via Universe. While trying to load/ refresh/ retrieving the data for display it is throwing an error message like the mentioned below.
Query1: UniverseOnSAPBEx2
A database error occurred. The Database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { Measures.ZPrice } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( ZVNAME.LEVEL00.MEMBERS, ZVID1.LEVEL00.MEMBERS) ON ROWS FROM $ZICTEST failed to execute with the error.
UNKNOWN error. (WIS 10901)
Some fields in the Cube/ BEx/ Universe/ WEBI that i have used are ZPrice, ZVendorId, ZVendorName etc.

BW Universe with multiple hierarchies issue

Hi,
We created an OLAP universe off a BW BEx query that has 2 hierarchies enabled. Hierarchy 1 is 12 levels deep while Hierarchy 2 is only 5 levels. Level 00 was also generated for better hierarchy reporting. In Web Intelligence reporting, Hierarchy 1 is required to report starting on Level 4 and then drill as needed so L00, L01, L02, L03, L04 was included in the report. Hierarchy 2 is for grouping and only L00, L01 was included in the report along with key figures. This Web Intelligence result set works fine [Hierarchy 1: L00, L01, L02, L03, L04] , [Hierarchy 2: L00, L01] , measures/key figures.
If additional levels of Hierarchy 1 is added, at L06 and beyond, the query suddenly returns message "No Data to Fetch". In BEx, it was confirmed the query does run with the exact same drilldowns as Web Intelligence and it works in BEx. If Hierarchy 2 is removed from Web Intelligence, the report also can successfully fetch up to the lower levels up to L09. If other flat objects are added, the Web Intelligence report still works fine, it seems to get "No Data to Fetch" when Hierarchy 2 is added. Any information would be appreciated, thank you.
Issue: Web Intelligence report with two BW hierarchies gets "No Data to fetch" if Hierarchy 1 goes lower than L06.
Observations:
1) There are some empty nodes starting in Hierarchy 1 L06, but the Hierarchy 1 works fine by itself
2) The BEx and Universe has a hierarchy node variable prompt. We filtered at lower hierarchy nodes, levels where there is data, but it still does not work with Hierarchy 2
Environment:
- BOE XI 3.1 SP2
- SAP BI 7
- BEx query (2 hierarchies), OLAP universe, Web Intelligence

Please refer to: the below document page# 43. Hope this helps!

After upgrading to Lion 10.7.2, some web-pages stopped loading

Hi folks!
Maybe someone knows what is wrong with my Mac or with this Lion 10.7.2..
To connect to internet, I need to go through university autorisation (browser redirects me to authorization page automaticaly).
It worked without any problems on Mac OS Lion 10.7.1, but after upgrading to 10.7.2 browsers refuse to redirecte me to autorization page.
So, there is some kind of connection and I am able to surf within university web-site, but in order to surf Internet, I need fill out my username and password on autorization page, but I can't get there.
After downgrading to Mac OS Lion 10.7.1, everything returns working again..
I have Mac Book Pro, I7...
Does someone know what problem is? (I'd want to use 10.7.2 and all the benefits of iCloud...)
Thank you.

olegz,
First, thanks for the clear graphics.
Authorization seems to be the hangup here. But instead of dealing with the complications of conflicts in authorization, which might take several weeks to months to iron out - site by site - I urge you to follow a different path.
It looks like you're using Chrome. For this site alone, use either Safari or Firefox, both of which are more likely to have plugins to deal with authorizing your site. Safari is already on your computer, but v.3 of Firefox is stable, too. Frankly, I can't tell you what specifically might be the problem here; but switching browsers will solve the immediate problem.
Sound good? Not so good? Post in this thread so that I or others can solve your problem once and for all!

How Many SAP BW BEx Queries can be embedded in a Universe

Hi,
I need to create 5 reports based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
Axes details:
X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
My query is: Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.
(All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
One more, should I use Web intelligence only? Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
Please advise.
Nanda Kishore.

Answers for your qns:
Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe ?? NO
Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report. ?? YES
All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel ?? Possible- YES
should I use Web intelligence only? *WebI * or Data Federator
Nanda Kishore,
As you are in SAP BI, I suggest you to go with BO Universe==>>WebI or DataFederator.
Solution for your problem:
Sol1 : Why you are creating 5 BEx queries?? Is there any calculations or restrictions??
YES, then Design 5 Universes for each BEx query.
@ WebI Report: Develop report/chart based on Universe-1 and in BO query panel click on Add Query and do it for 4 other Universes.
Save all Charts in single report. (After running second time query, it will prompt for 3 opt's: 1. Insert new report 2. Insert data with in the existing report 3. Indulge objects without creating new report )
Here, go with Opt:2 or Opt3 or opt:1, no problem. And develop all Charts in single report by just dragging & dropping chart type and objects to it.
Now your problem solved.
Sol2: If no need of 5 BEx queries: Just drag all the Characteristics, Keyfigures and other what you want for Charting.
@Designer: Design Universe on top of this BEx master query.
@ Report : use this Universe and drag objects to 5 diff charts.
Hope you got it.
Thank You!!

Creation of Dynamic Date Variables to be used in WebI reports

What we are trying to achieve is to create 4 optional filters (Current Day, Current Week, Last Week, Last Month) on 4 different dates which will allow the users to use them in WebI reports.
When using an optional SAP Customer Exit variable in BEx and creating a Universe on top, the filter becomes mandatory (i.e. the whole Universe is filtered by the SAP Exit, irrespective of whether the filter is used in the WebI report). Even if the filter is flagged as optional at the Universe level, it still behaves as mandatory.
If each filter becomes mandatory then we'll have to create 16 different Universes (for each optional filter and date combination)! This is not feasible.
I've seen in other posts that MDX Statements are not currently supported for Universes base on BW and SAP Exit should be utilized.
So with the existing BO version, is it possible to create optional dynamic date variables or is that a product limitation?
We are on XI3.1 SP3 FP3.1
Thanks

Hi Adam,
In BEx, I would create this query very easily using the "Amount" key figure twice in my results and restricting each with a different SAP standard out-of-the-box delivered variable. For your reference, the variables in BEx are: 0FPER and 0FYTLFP.
If I expose these variables in my OLE DB for OLAP query, they are not transfered into the universe, but rather act as filters on the entire universe. I've seen in documentation that only "Ready for Input" variables can be transfered as options into the universe which is not something that I have seen mentioned in this thread.
>> In the BEx Query you have the option to either make the variable "ready for input" or not. The behavior is the same in Bex or in the Universe / Web Intelligence. "Ready for input" means the user can actually provide an input and without the flag the user can not provide an input. Yes those variables are supported in the Universe.
Why this is a problem: I can't create separate universes based on potential variable periods that users might want to see. Additionally, many financial reports require concurrent use of these measures in the same report. Also, in reality it's not 2 variables, but dozens.
>> Which is a decision you make already on the BEx query level. if you decide that the variable is not ready for input then the user can change the timeframe in BEx either.
Also, I don't have a good way to mimic the standard out-of-the-box functionality given with BEx in BO. If I custom create all my variables in the universe, how do I do a lookup from the system date to the fiscal calendar that is stored on the BW server? In other words, how does BO know which date belongs in which period? (the same would be true with factory calendars for a different functional area).
>> Variable are created in the BEx query and the Universe will leverage those.
If you want a dynamic date range then EXIT variable as part of the BEx query - ready for input or not - is the solution.
regards
Ingo Hilgefort
The only work around I can see is to require users to enter the current fiscal period and have the BO reports filter based off that user entered value. This is unfortunate as the entire purpose of SAP Exit variables is to avoid having to require user input at report time.

Printing web page with select tags in IE9 and a .cfm file-only the original selected option prints

My web page has a select tag and cfselect tags and when I print the page with a different option other than the originally selected option the print for both types of select tags reverts back to the original selection and ignores the new selection. This happens in IE9 and .cfm files but not when the page is printed in IE8 or IE7 modes (tried in the F12 Developer Tools.) It also needs to be a .cfm file. FireFox printed the pages correctly for any combination.
This was done on a Dell and ThinkCentre computers under Windows 7. Also, I was able to reproduce the same problem on an different university web site where a selection box would revert back to the original selection for printing on a .cfm page and would print properly on a .PHP page at the same site.
For my site, I used a print button which calls print() and right clicked and chose print and got the same results no matter which method was used. I only had the right click method on the third party web site.
I know this is probably a bit narrow an issue but, any help would be appreciated.

It appears that it is probably an IE9 bug.
I simplified the problem by turning the page source taken from the brouser of the original .cfm into an html file and found that it would still print improperly.
When I eliminated the various parts of the file I found that it would print correctly only when I removed the first line, the "DOC type" line.
The page will print the newly selected option but then I lose the style sheet.
If it does not work in an HTML file it must be IE. It is not the .cfm. The reason that it did not work for .cfm files, is that they always have a "DOC type" statement.
I have put the issue into an MSDN forum in addition to the one mentioned previously.

Prepping a Sequence for Web/and EXporT

Any link or answer to this- i'm preparing a 2 minute trailer for web. what are the settings necessary in final cut to prepare for the quicktime export. Also once in a quicktime format what should the export settings coming out. currently have final cut hd we want a relatively fast download time for accessing but want not to sacrifice too much quality. thanks for any help.

But...can h.264 be viewed on most computers?
No. QT7 h264 is not very well pentrated yet. All iPod/iTunes users have it but few business machines will have it. Furthermore, many larger companies don't allow employees to install it even if they need it.
For Quicktime content, I can reach the broadest audience with Sorenson 3 compression. It was introduced in QuickTime 5 a long time ago. If I want to go a bit more recent, I use the 3ivx version of MP4 compression. Download the free 3ivx plugin at 3ivx.com. This works on any computer that supports MP4 but it looks better than the Apple mp4 CODEC.
MPEG-1 is the most universal web video format, but the filesize will be about 3x bigger than anything more modern.
WMV-9 is also a popular way to post video. At the risk of being run off this forum, I'll just say that it's market pentration is vastly wider than QuickTime and the quality is comparable to MP4. I use an affordable QuickTime plugin called Popwire WMV-9 Export 1.1 to export directly to this format from Final Cut.
Also don't rule out Flash Spark video format. Users of Flash 8 Plugin can view this format and I know there are many machines with this capability. You need flash pro to do this format.
