BW Bex query and Webi question

Hi All.
Just a quick question on Bex queries. We are selecting a Bex query as a source for universe. However on the webi side we only want to see a subset of the data.
1) The question is Would this rerun the entire BEX query on the BW side ? Or is there a better way to design the universe ?
2) Also are there any best practices on how to desing Webi reports from BW BEX queries and also Infocubes etc ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi puneet,
The WebI builds a query on the BEx results. The query is related only to those items used in the WebI report. However, the BEx query must have the results in it, as the WebI does not execute it. I am not aware of a best practices document.
Regards
Alan

  • Query related to BEx query and web template migration

    Hi,
    We are upgrading our BW system from BW 3.5 to 7.3 and also planning to migrate the existing BEx 3.X queries and web templates to BEx 7.x version.
    We have BEx queries and web templates published on enterprise portal in roles.
    My query is that after we migrate BEx 3.5 queries and web templates to new version, do we need to re-publish these (migrated) queries and web templates on the portal or users will be able to access the reports without any issues.
    or are there any post migration steps that we need to follow so that reports (with migrated version) are available to the end users through portal as before.
    Thanks,
    Tarun.

    We are using BO XI 4.0 Sp05.
    Please advise

    Hi,
    I am on BO 4.0 SP05 Patch 6. Webi reports are just showing processing but not giving results. When I try to create new report it is throwing java security error.

    Hello John:
    I realize you are using webi, but a similar error is documented for Crystal Reports in the following KB:

    Hi,
    That BEX Property will not be surfaced to the OLAP API
    Same goes for Conditions, Scaling Factor etc.  Please take a look at Note 1387793 - BEx functionality features that are not supported or integrated in WebIntelligence

  • Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

    Hi,
    I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
    Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
    I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
    1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
    2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
    3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
    4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
    But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
    Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
    Rgds..

    Hi,
    Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.

  • Future of BEx Query and BEx Query Designer

    Folks, I understand SAP's future reporting tools is BO suite. All of us need to move to the new tools which are better or more reliable in 2010. Meanwhile our customers are reluctant to use BEx tools for any new development. Being on the techi side I dont see how BEx Query will be replaced by Voyager or Polestar or WebI or Crystal. I just need to report on my multiprovider without a universe layer. Have any of you experts come across documentation that layed out future of BEx tools explaining the end of support period? I have see roadmaps for tool availability but no dates for end of support.
    Thanks in advance.

    AFAIK,
    Bex Query designer and BEx query will continue... Polestar might be proposed as an alternative for BEx but then it is meant for ad-hoc analysis ... but BEx query and Query designer have specific query requirements also...
    Voyager etc will start coming in...

  • Error When Launcging BEX query into Web Browser

    Hi all,
    When Launching Bex query into Web browser from BEx Analyser it's giving this error message. We are using Bex 3.x tools.
    Technical Information for Message:
    Error loading template 0ADHOC
      Notification Number BRAIN 276
    Any help will appreciated!.
    Thanks,

    If you want to continue to use the ABAP-based runtime, create the template using the Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x).
    The templates called using the new Web Application Designer have new objects that are independent of the objects saved using Web Application Designer 3.x. This means that, unlike the old templates, they can no longer be called using parameter template_id=abc. Instead, you can address them from an iView using template=abc and they use the Java Web runtime in the portal. Only the old templates can be executed in transaction RSRT.
    In Web Application Designer 3.x, you can use parameter template_id=abc to call saved objects.
    Note 1014795 - Error BRAIN 276 when you execute a Web template
    Hope it Helps

  • I need to know the user who has created/modified a SAP Bex Query and WAD

    Hi!
    I need to know the user who has created and modified a SAP Bex Query and SAP  Web Application Designer. Does it possible to know this information by a table or view?
    Best Regards
    Ramon Sanchez

    Hi,
    In BEx query, when you click "Queries" to open the query, the list of queries are displayed. Highlight the query, click on the "Properties On/Off' icon(right most on the top), you would see all the details.
    In WAD, before opening the template, click on "Properties On/Off'" icon to see the details.

  • Variance Scaling in Query and Web Template Showing Different Results

    Hi experts,
    I have the following problem - variance scaling in my query and web template are showing different results.
    My variance in column is set as follows:
    Formula: NODIM(A % B)
    Scaling Factor: 1
    I have a structure in row that uses Scaling Factor of 1,000.
    Let say the value of Column A is 120 and Column B is 100.
    When I execute the query, it will show 0.02
    However, when I execute the web template it will show the correct scaling i.e. 20.
    May I know what can I do to correct above scaling error?
    Thank you!

    You can not remove the scalling factor, but once you check the checkbox below the dropdown menu, the scalling factor will go away.
    I checked at my end and when I set the scalling fact as 1, I was getting 9.9% while I was expecting 9900%. When I removed the scalling factor I started getting 9900%.
    I would let you know if I came across anything else.
    What about the unit of Column A and B. Are they same or different?

  • Authorization to query and web template in BI 3.5

    Hello
    I need to grant users athorizatio to the WEB template and its query. Query is based on Multiprovider.
    Should I save query and WEB template to existing role and grant authorizaion to tis role or I also need to grant authorization to multicube and all cubes underneath?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You need to assign two objects for authorizing web templates and query..
    S_RS_COMP AND S_RS_COMP1... in both these object you need to assign appropriate roles and activities.
    S_RS_MPRO object to assign authorization to MP.

  • Filters Query and Web Template

    Dear All,
    Many reports use filters in both the query and the web template. What
    is the difference?
    Regards,
    KS

    the filter used in query and web templates are same
    there is no difference between filters used.
    as webtemplate uses the same query as its data provider so it is going to run the same filters.
    for e.g. if u have query x then if there are filters in it .
    if u have webtemplate y , and u have to assign a data provider to webtemplate which is nothing but query itself....
    so if u run webtemplate u will at the end execute query x only...
    now wat is filter.
    filter means it will filter out that data.
    for e.g. if u created a variable for calendar month and u restrict it so that user can enter the calendar month value range when they execute query x....
    then if u execute query x
    then upon its execution the variable will pop u p and it will ask u to enter range of calendar months
    lets say u enter 1/2007-12/2007
    so u r query executes and it will only bring data for year 2007.
    now if u wish to see the data of 2006 and try to restrict it in Context menu or Restric screen, then it will display as NO DATA.
    this means it will filter the data for particular year.
    so if u wish to see the data for all years
    then dont create variable and dont restrict Calendar month
    Instead bring calendar month in Free characteristics
    so later u can run the query for different years.
    i hope u understand

    2. click on a free area outside the menu, to close the menu
    3. opening the menu do not work anymore. buttons do not work anymore either.
