BW Report iView that points to QueryView

I would like to have a BW Report iView that displays the standard icons (ie: Export to Excel, Create graph etc) and displays a BW Query View. My understanding is that this has to be a BW Report iView and not a BW Query iView because of single sign on will not work with the BW Query iView.
So appending the following to my URL works for QUERY but what works for QUERYVIEW?
CMD=LDOC&INFOCUBE=<CUBE>&QUERY=<QUERY NAME>
Thanks!

Portal Runtime Error When Previewing the BI Report iViews

Hi Experts,
I hope this is the right place for my issue. I have an issue previewing the BI reports that I have created as the iViews and have put them in the portal. I am able to preview them in the BW/BI server successfully. Then I have created them in another server and got the portal runtime error. There are 2 different servers that I am working on, and there is no single sign on support on these servers.
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing your request
Exception id: 10:21_29/06/09_0049_44107950
See the details for the exception ID in the log file.
I check the permission, and everything has been set up as the BW/BI server (Built-in Group Everyone). I still got the portal runtime error. There is another folder of BI report iViews that someone else has created before. When I preview it, it prompts me with the NetWeaver Log in page. Then it opens the BI report iView properly. Unfortunately, it will not prompt the log in page on my own BI report iViews that I have created. Instead, it shows the portal runtime error page. Any ideas how can I solve this?
Thanks,
-Don

BW Report iView issue

I am having a strange issue when I try to preview a BW iView via the Portal:
The iView gets generated but the screen displays only the icons but not the data. I expect a variable screen to pop-up to enter the Calmonth but I don't get that.
Note that this is the first BW iView I am trying to generate on an EP6 SP14 system with BW 3.1 SP16.
The system landscape, Aliases, connection tests etc are
all successful and we are using weak encryption (ume.usermapping.unsecure=TRUE).
Please help me with this situation.
Thanks

Hi Linda,
The URL iView works fine for me. It is only the "SAP BW Report iView" that is not working correctly.
I tried both the below types of iViews:
 1. BEx Web application: template_id=<TEMPLATE_ID>
 2. BW query: infocube=<INFOCUBE>&query=<QUERY>
Can any one tell me where I am going wrong in maintaining the following String properties for above two types of iViews:
 1. template_id=TEST_PORTAL_TEMPLATE_001
 2. infocube=s900&query=TEST_PORTAL_QUERY_001
Thanks

Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

Anyone know what is the problem?
Is there any step by step guide to create a bw report in the portal including system landscape configuration so that I can narrow down my problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Hello Brian,
You follow the steps below.
1. Create a System in portal which will talk to the backend system SAP BIW.
2. Mention required parameters in the system, like
IF you are using loadbalancing system, u can use message server port or if you are using dedicated to application server ..you can use application server host address..
3. mention the logical system name
4. Logon method
5. System id
6. System number, and Remote host type : should be 3
7. WAS host name with Port
8. Protocol type : http
Make sure that your services(/SAP/BC/BEx) will active in SAP BIW system, you can check using transaction SICF.
-> Check the permission of the portal system, u can assign eu_role to the systems and check the button as enduser.
-> Also check the authorizations in the BIW system.
BIW Report Creation in Portal:
You can achive this using two methods depends upon how you have configured the Portal with BIW.
One way is: Create a iview using a template in Portal...BIW Query report iview...
Using cmd = ldoc_query=your queryname
Hope it helps
Thanks

Issue with SAP BW Report Iview

Hi,
The issue stands with the context menu(right click menu)
I have created a BI Query and generated a BW Report with the Web Designer Wizard.
When I run the generated URL it is working fine, with the context menu also working perfectly.
However when I use that report in SAP BW Report Iview, the report gets opened perfectly but the context menu is taking me to a new page with those options.
As of now i do not know of any setting for context menu specially.
If anyone can help me or if anyone has encountered this error before, pl. let me know the solution.

Atul -- i am running into simillar issue. Please let me know if you found a solution for this.
Hi all -

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Error:
"You are logged on to an application server that does not support HTTP.Some of the Web Application Designer functions are therefore not available.Do you want to logon to a different application server?"
We are also not able to connect to the Web Application Server of BW directly by putting the url of the WAS into our browser.Are any extra configurations needed for that on the BW side for WEBAS.

Functunality of save view in BW report iview

Dear all,
When SAP BW Query report iview is called in portal, u will get Save view, Bookmark, variableSreen...etc buttons.. When u click on saveview button...it will ask u to save as a view of that report with specific name.
My question is, where it will get stored.?
How to retrieve back those views?
Regards,
Sithi

Hi,
Where it will get stored and how to retrieve back those views? 
As mentioned by Durairaj, the view would be available in the saved views of BW System. To have a look follow these steps:
1) Go to Programs -> Business Explorer -> Analyser
2) From the BW Toolbar -> Click on folder icon (open) -> Saved views
3) This will prompt you to logon
4) Search for the technical name you had given. You will find it there.
How to retrive and view in portal.
As mentioned above, you can retrieve it back from the BW System. Now, as to how to view it on Portal, this is exactly the same report which you had opened and saved with a different technical name. Which means, only the technical name has changed but the query string still remains the same and thereby the report is still the same.
Once he saved the view, all other who login and view the report in portal, they should see only the view saved by the administator.
But this report still remains the same. This view is no different from the report which you opened and then saved with a different technical name.
I want to hide the save view option in the report
Not sure if you can do this for a set of users.
Regards,
Sunil

Context Menu in BW Report Iview not opening after upgrade to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
We have a unusual problem that, the Context menu of the BW reports for options like filtering is not opening post Upgrade to Portal 7.3 for End users.
However, with Super Admin role, the Context menu opens for the BW report Iview.
I have tried giving the same permission that the Super Admin Role has on the BW Report Iview to the End users, still no success.
Any idea? Anybody faced same kind of problem?
Please revert for any more info.
BR,
Uday

Hi Uday,
This is really a shot in the dark since I have not done much with 7.3. Have you checked for UME actions that are assigned to the administrator but not the end user?
Best regards,

Bw report iview with values

Hello,
I have created a bw report iview in EP. The user has to enter certains values and then execute the report. There are like 10 fields or parameters for the user to enter Is there a way where some of the values can be set automatically, (some values should appear in the input fields so that the user may not enter the values again). Also if this can be done , can these values be personlized.
Also one more question, there is option called save view once we execute the report. what is this option for , can somebody shed some light on this.

Hi Prabhakar,
In the BW system check for the WAS property.
Description : WAS
WAS property: <WAS server with FQDN>:<WAS port>
WAS Property: /sap/bw/BEx
protocol: http
You can also check by opening the browser
http://<WAS server with FQDN>:<WAS Port>/sap/bw/BEx?
This should display the details

BW Report iview and SSO w/Logon Tickets

I have some BW Report iviews configured which work great for me however I can't get them to work for any other endusers. I have administrator access and they do not. The error they get is;
Unable to lookup System 'aBWP100'. Please check the system object and the alias..
aBWP100 is our BW server name. I searched for OSS notes but didn't find anything. Any suggestions?

You need to make sure that the other users have access to BW system and also since you are using SSO w/Logon Tickes, they must have same userids and passwords in portal and bw system.
Thanks and Best regards,
Firasath Riyaz.
