BW BEX queries documentation

Hi all,
I need to do BW BEX queries documentation. The requirement is to put a mark to indicate "infoObject" are exists in a particular query.
Is there a way to list down all "infoobject" that exist in a particular query.
I did try to look for all tables that related 'rsz*' like RSZELTDIR, RSZELTDIR, RSZCOMPDIR,etc but still unable to get the result.
Would appreciate your help on this.
Thank you.
Regards,
Wei Sia

Hi VB,
Thanks for the fast response.
I can see it. How can I export the structure to flat file?
Thank you.

Help regarding integrating BEx queries onto portal

Hi Friends,
CAn anyone please help me in the steps and process required to follow for integrating the bex queries into portal.
we have queries developed in bex analyser , the users want to access the reports via portal, for this to be acheived do we need to integrate or develope the report templates in WAD and then integrate into portal or we can directly integrate these bex queries onto portal, your response and help is highly solicited, many thanks in advance!

Assuming you are using BW 7 objects. If you are satisfied with the formatting provided by the standard template (see transaction spro thread SAP Netweaver / business intelligence / settings for reporting and analysis / BEx Web / set standard web templates and read the accompanying documentation) you don't have to create individual templates.
Simply create an iview of type Bex Web Application iView (sap netweaver 7 format) and specify "query=technical_name_of_query" as property value for the iview-property "Query-String Bex Web Application".
If you want to use individual templates the property value would be at least "template=yourtemplate" (if queryname is provided as dataprovider in the wad-template) or "template=yourtemplate&query=yourquery".

Marketing Segmentation Using BEx Queries

My company wants to use the CRM Marketing Segmentation tool. The data is coming from BW via BEx queries. I've been able to create highly defined BEx queries that can be used by the Marketing Segmentation tool. I'd like to create a more generic BEx query with prompts presented to the user at run time if possible. For instance, if we need a list of Business Partners with email addresses, I want a prompt asking the user to select a specific division. I haven't found any documentation that BEx prompts can be used within the Marketing Segmentation tool in this fashion.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi,
You can add multiple queries to workbook using following process:
1. Open one of the queries in BEx Analyzer and save it as a workbook.
2. Create additional tab in the workbook, and give it name as query2
3. Edit the query2 tab by adding other quer. click BEx Analyzer > Tools > insert new query
OR Go to BEx Analysis Toolbox: Tools > insert new query
4. Chose the second query and save the workbook under appropriate role

WebI report based on Universe upon SAP BEx Queries:Prompt issue

Hi,
I am creating Web Intelligence report using Universe based on SAP Bex Queries. In WebI report I created a filter condition as I need to run report based on two specidc dates. I need to schedule report to run 2nd of every month to show data for last month. At present I have the following filter : date between 'Start Date' and 'End Date'. 'Start Date' should always be 'first date of previous month' and End Date be always must be 'Last date of previous Month'. How to do this. The solution I thought would be to create variables at report/universe level ('first date of previous month' and 'Last date of previous Month') and use in the filter using 'Object from this Query' option.But this 'Object from this Query' option is missing in the prompt.Is there any work around to achieve this.? Could you please help me.

Hi all,
I have a related question too.
I have 2 queries and need a Combined BEx query written on this for reporting. (WebI)
In the 2 queries, there is a Field which needs to be restricted.
But this field should not be restricted in the Combined BEx query.
So I thought of restricting the Field at the report level. But in this case, the user gets a prompt to enter a value for the field.
And this is not desirable as per the requirement.
COuld you please tell me if there is another way of handling this without the user being prompted to enter a value while the report is being run, but still I need selection at the Field level.
Thanks and Regards,

SAP BW Bex Queries as Data source WIS 10901 Error while refreshing

Hi,
I have created a Web Intelligence report based on Universe upon SAP BEx queries.
When I refresh the report, I get the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: the supplied XML is not valid. [Measures].[4ASYKV5XU5T].(WIS 10901)
Report was fine for a day. I started showing error from today.
This is my first report and Universe based on SAP BEx queries. I do not have knowledge of SAP system as well.
Please help.
Nanda Kishore B

Hey Nanda kishore B,
It is because that Measure object definition changed @BEx. Measures.4ASYKV5XU5T
Can you check @BEx query for any latest changes??
OR
Go to Universe Designer:
1. Open Universe
2. View == Refresh Structure
3. Can you see any updates now?? OK
4. Save Universe
5. Export it
Now open the Report. It will work now, if all Objects are there at Bex query & Universe level.
Along with this Do integrity check @Universe also before exporting.
Gracias...!!

Poor query performance in WebI on top of BEx queries

Hello,
We are using Web Inteliigence i BO 3.1 (SP0) to report on BEx queries (BW 7.0).
We experience however that reporting is much quicker for the same set of data when using BEx Analyzer than when using WebI. In BEx it is acceptable, but in WebI it's not.
How can we optimize the performance in this scenario? What tricks are there?
The amount of data is not huge (max 500 000 records in the cube)
BR,
Fredrik

Hi,
Dennis is right. But if you need to upgrade (and you do) than maybe going to the latest SP is better. It is SP4. With SP3 the WebI Option "Query Striping" has been introduced which brings Performance as well.

Can I create one single crystal report using 2 bex queries

HI all,
I have 2 bex queries and has to develope a single crystal report .Is it possible???? If so, than how to connect two bex queries and develope one single crystal report.Any other option is also fine. I mean ....no need to use crystal..( I can go for one single webi..).But need to know the approach ...
or else...can I create universe on 1 bex and other universe on other bex ..and go for one single webi report..
Only problem is client is particular about one single report(either crystal or webi)
if i go for webi ...I know we can use link universe option but I dont know whether it works fro OLAP environment.
Please let me know if I can link OLAp universes and go for 1 single webi report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mahathi

You can use either CR or WebI.
In CR Designer create the report using the SAP toolbar (Create report from query) based on the 1st BEx query. Then use the Database expert (first entry in the Database menu) to add an additional connection to your 2nd BEx query (+Create new connection->SAP BW DX query). You can then join the results of the 2 different queries in the database expert also.. Please note that if you do NOT want to join the result sets, then it is more efficient to use subreports. Create two different CR reports, each based on one of the BEx queries and then use one of those as your main report and insert the other one into it as subreport. Once embedded you do not have to keep the separate .rpt file of your second report.
For Webi you must build 2 universes, each based on one of your BEx queries. In your report you can add multiple queries based on different universes. You can join the results sets here by using the Merge dimensions button in the report editor area.
Regards,
Stratos
PS; Keep in mind that joining a large number of rows at report level (either in CR or WebI) can cause performance problems. If this is your requirement, how many rows do you expect to get back from each individual query?

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!!

How do i access multiple bex queries in one crystal reports??

Hello Experts,
I have 10 cubes and 30 bex queries on it and i need to create 3 final crystal reports on these 30 queries.
I am on BI 4.0 & CR 2011. but my client is not on correct SAP patch ie., he is on 15+ but he must be on 23+ to access multiple bex queries on CR 2011 Database expert. (I am unable to see bex queries in Database expert to link couple of bex queries)
And my client env doesnt have SAP EP for SAP BW Netweaver Connection to create a connection to access cubes or queries in IDT.
Do my client env need EP? so that SAP BICS Connection will work in IDT?
How do i approach to achive this...
Thank you...

Hi,
have you checked the option "allow external access" in your query? SAP Toolbar will find all queries but the database export needs this flag to be set.
Using multiple queries within one crystal report is using the "multi database join feature" of crystal reports. You can link your queries by key fields and crystal will join them in memory. So when there are many queries or many datarows this can be a huge performance killer.
Actuallly one of our customers is running a report which has more than 20 BEx queries linked together. It runs just fine.
Please be sure to set your joins correctly. E.g. crystal will try to make a join on the "key figures" sturcture if you let it create a suggestion or it will try to link on all fields of an infoobject. This will bring MDX errors.
So you should be setting your joins correctly - the [infoobject]-[20infoobject] fields are fine for that.
I hope you can use some of my words.
Regards
Thorsten

Create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor

Hello All,
I am trying to create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor.
BW Development Team has created a BEX query with complex restrictions and calculations using Cell Editor feature of BI-BEX.
The query output in BEx analyzer is correct where all values are being calculated at each Cell level and being displayed.
But, while creating VC model, system is not displaying the Cells.Thus, no VC Model can be created.
I have executed below steps:
1. Created a VC Model for BEx Query - ZQRY_XYZ
2. Create Iview -> Create a dataService -> Provide a Table from the Output
In the Column field system is not showing any of the Cells (present in Cell Editor)
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi
If 'Cell Editor' is been used then that query must have the structure in it. You have to select that 'structure' object in your 'VC Table'.
If you select that then you will get the required result in the output. This structure will be the structure where 'cell reference' is used in BI query, You have to select that structures name.

Displaying messages while running BEx queries.

Hi Experts,
Can any one explain me is there any possibility to display some popup messages while running BEx queries?

Hi there,
You can do taht with user exit variables with the code something like this:
WHEN 'YOUR_VARIABLE'.
    if i_step = 2.
    LOOP AT eto_charsel INTO ln_charsel.
*some validation of your own
      if ln_charsel-low NE '1'.
*call function to send a message, in this case, an error message
         CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
           EXPORTING
             i_class = 'ERROR!'
             i_type   = 'E'
             i_number = '000'
             i_msgv1 = 'Please connect again and'
             i_msgv2 = 'use the Revision Layout'.
             RAISE no_processing.
      endif.
    ENDLOOP.
    endif.

By having BEx queries on BPC cubes, I thought the revenue will be negative for example and balance sheet items will be double counted over time. I am not sure if SAP is officially supporting this BEx on BPC cubes ?
When I get data from Legacy systems into BW cubes, I would like to validate( and raise exceptions if required) the imported transactional data. Any other way to accomplish these with BEx queries on BPC cubes ?

Multiple BEx queries in one report

Hi All,
I would like to know if we can use multiple BEx queries in a single report using Crystal Report 2008 / 2011?
If so, there is another requirement follwoing the above as below:
I have objects obj1,obj2,obj3 in query 1 and objects obj1, obj2, obj4 in query 2. I have prompts based on obj1 from query1 and prompt on obj4 from query2.
So, when I enter a value in prompt1 for obj3, i need to have query1 executed and display the data and data should not be displayed from query2. Similarly, if I enter value for prompt2 of query2, only query2 data to be displayed.
Pls suggest if this can be achieved and how?
Thanks,
Naresh

Authorization Errors from BEx queries

We are developing Crystal reports on top of BEx queries. We are working on BO XI 3.1 FP2.8, Crystal Reports FP2.8 and SAP Integration Kit FP2.8 and SAP BW is BI 7.0 Suppport pack 5.0. How can we display the Authorization errors that are returned on BEx queries on the Crystal reports.
If i run the Crystal reports and if it comes back empty, there can be 2 reasons one no Data and second no proper authorizations. We want to display a mesage to users to tell them the report is empty either becaus of no data or Authorization error.
Thanks,
Venkat

Thank you Ingo. Is there any work around where we can get the return code to a temporary KeyFigure and use that.
