Can not create Webi report on a Universe based on Bex Query

Hi,
We are using BO XI 3.1 (FP 3.4) with SAP integration Kit (same Patch Level) with SAP Authentication. We have a Universe based on a bex query and its connection is set to use SSO.
We have say two SAP users U1 & U2. Now "U1" is able to create webi reports but when we Logged in as "U2" and try to create Webi reports or try to refresh reports created by U1 it through an error ...
The database error text is: (CS) "Error on NumResultCols" . (WIS 10901).....
As per the "Authorization" section in BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solution Installation Guide we have provided this users with all the mention autherizations.
Any words over this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,

It is highly probable that this is due to missing authorizations on the SAP BW side (not talking about the authroizations which are directly related to the BO/BW integration). I would recommend to ask your SAP Basis team to do a security trace while you are accessing the reports with the user, who gets the error. THey should look for failing authorization checks.

  • Can create Webi report using multiple universe (multiple datasource)

    Hi All,
    Can we create a Webi report from multiple universe (can say multiple dataprovider & datasource)?
    Please suggest.
    Regards,

    You can bring as many sources together into one report as you like.
    However, to use them together you must have some common dimension, such as a particular Sold To Party, Business Partner, etc. You can then use merge dimensions to develop your report but you will need to be aware that dimensions that are NOT Common to both data providers cannot be used in a table combining two data providers.
    So, if data provider one has dimensions Resort, Product and Year and a  measure object Sales Value
    while  data provider one has dimensions Resort and Year and a  measure object Cost Value, you cannot use Product in a report but you can display Resort, Year, Sales Value and Cost Value together to show you how much revenue each resort is generating each year and how much it is costing you to do so. To have product in the report table, you would need to add it to data provider two.
    Hope that clears it up for you.

  • Steps to create a Universe based on Bex query

    HI Gurus,
    I am (first time ofcourse) creating a Universe based on a Bex Query. I searched on SDN to find steps to craete a universe on top of Bex query and found a document written by tej Trivedi and found other threads also which explains all the steps.
    I understood from his document that in case of OLAP Universes the Structure pan would be empty. And I will not see joins etc..Is that true?
    How can I make sure that I will see data?

    Hi,
    I believe this is a cross post from here Re: BEX Query Objects dont show in Universe  ?
    So i will put my answer again:
    Hi,
    If you can select your BEx query,  but the 'universe outline' in the webi query panel stays blank (i.e no available objects in the webi query panel)  then you don't have enough rights (authorizations) on the BW -side.
    to prove it, try using a sap_all profile in the universe connection .
    regards,
    H
    p.s. there is a large section on the required authorizations in the Admin guide.  Also a note covers it :  Note      1585948 - No objects are visible in the query panel when creating a report using Interactive Analysis or BI Launchpad

  • BW Variables not showing up in universe based on BEX query

    We've been trying to create BO Universes on BEx Queries.  When we create the connection, it reads the query into the Universe, however, it does not always read all of the BW variables associated with the queries.  We've moved all filters in the BEx Query into Free Characteristics but BO Designer still does not read them into the universe or create them as mandatory filters in the universes as the documentation states.  Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

    Hi -
    I assume that you might have kept the filters(Variables) in Default Values section. Only filters which are placed in Characterstic restrictions will appear in Universe Designer. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • OLAP Universes - Based on BEx Query - Month and Previous Month Functions

    Hi,
      I created a Universe based on SAP BEx queries and I like to create a filter so that I use in Web Intelligence report to run for "Previous Month" data always. There are "Date" filelds in BEx Query(No Month info only date data). I have no knowledge of SAP BEx Queries and new to OLAP universes. Could you help.
    How to create filter that show Previous Month.
    Nanda Kishore
    Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Dec 26, 2010 6:15 AM

    The easiest way  (but NOT the most efficient one) is to create a local variable (Dimension) in your report with the following code:
    =if (Month(CurrentDate())=1 AND Month([[MyDate]])=12 AND Year([[MyDate]])=(Year(CurrentDate())-1)) OR (Month(CurrentDate())>1 AND   Month([[MyDate]])=(Month(CurrentDate())-1)) then 1 else 0
    where MyDate is the field from your query containing the data information
    Activate the report filter area in your report design panel by pressing the Report filter icon and drag and drop your variable there and apply it to the entire report. Filter value 1 and you will get the data for the previous month.
    Keep in mind that this approach is not optimal especially if you do have many rows of data delivered to your WebI report because filtering takes place only AFTER the data is retrieved. The Best practice here is to work with BEx variables.
    How many rows of data does your WebI report normally fetches?

  • How to create dummy variable in Webi report in BO 4.0 with Bex query.

    Dear All,
    We have a requirement where we need to overlap multiple tables and based on user selection any one of the table should display in report.
    We are on BO 4.0 and source is BW Bex report, we dont have any Universe.
    To achieve this we plan to have dummy variable with some fix value and use it as report filter & based on selected value in filter the related table should be display.
    We have not found any way to have dummy variable directly in Webi.
    Is their any way we can create dummy variable directly in Webi?
    Thanks v much in advance,
    Regards,

    lets say u want to display following picture:
    sept$-----august$
    City
    -chicago123$--
    44$
    so in Query designer go to Default values section.
    Bring in Calendar month
    right click calendar month
    and hit Restrict
    now select variable
    use standard sap variable Current Month.
    hit okey
    now select Variable and hit Red button
    Result u restricted current month.
    in columns bring in keyfigure $
    right click and hit edit
    bring in time field calendar month
    right click and hit restrict
    bring in Current month
    right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
    select -1
    hit okey
    repeat the above process
    and this time select offset = -2
    this way u restricted current month
    but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

  • Error querying OLAP universe based on BEx query

    Hi all,
    I have a problem extracting larger (more than 80 000 rows) amounts of data through querying an OLAP universe with WebI.
    The error is:
    Query 1 - NAME_OF_THE_QUERY
    A database error occurred. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. &INCLUDE INCL_INSTALLATION_ERROR. (WIS 10901)
    The error occurs when I define larger scope of analysis in the query (four levels). With more modest scope (three levels or less) it's working OK. I need larger data set (more than 200 000 rows) to be populated at night through scheduling the report. We can't afford shrink the scope of analysis because it will hit the BW server during the day when it's needed by other users.
    Besides this the speed of the report refresh is very slow - more than 3 minutes per just 400 rows of data. I'm still unable to identify the source of the problem with this slowdown. Executing the same query over the web through the SAP BW BEx Viewer is much much faster - just 3 seconds. Maybe the reason for this is that the BEx viewer aggregates data on the higher level of the hierarchy rather than down to transaction level (like we do by expanding the scope of analysis).
    Anyway, if anyone have ideas about the error above I'll be very grateful if you share your thoughts. Thanks!
    Our environment:
    BO EDGE BI 3.1, standard
    SAP BW 3.0

    Ingo,
    Could you point me to an official SAP document regarding the 1 million cells limitation, which describes the exact version and patch level for SAP BW which removes this limitation? It will be very helpful for me because I have to convince the client to migrate BW from 3.0 to 7.01 if it will solve this limitation.
    Thank you in advance!

    BTW I have installed SP2 + FP2.1 and now the SAP integration is not functional, but I have opened another thread for this problem.

  • Unable to create webI report??

    HI all
    I am using BO XI3.1 SP3, when I logged into infoview and click on the new webintelligence document, I see universes available and select the universe then it is showing as "PLUGIN's NOT INSTALLED" instead of showing the query panel of the report.
    Can any one please let me know exactly what plugin should I install before I start creating webI reports???

    @denis
    When I tried in mozilla it says "A plugin is needed to display content...Install plugins"
    when I click on install plugin
    firefox checks for available plugins for couple seconds and finally popus a window saying "No suitable Plugins found"
    when I click on more plugins it takes me to some another page in mozilla "plugins addons for mozzila"
    here I found "Java version 6 update 27" so I am installing this version of java.
    I don't have any admin rights...and all this is on my personal laptop, company didn't issued any laptop of their own.

  • How to create Webi Reports with SAP BW Objects

    Hi,
    I have no knowledge on creating webi reports with SAP BW Objects like (InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject).
    As per my understanding Webi reports can be developed with universe which is created on BEx Queries or OLAP BAPI interface, unfortunately i don't have BEx App installed. So, i have to create OLAP universe in this case.
    Here my question is can we create universe with all the available BW objects like InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject.
    Please, Can anyone suggest a solution
    Thanks,
    Siva
    Edited by: siva@chinni on Apr 25, 2010 4:45 PM

    Hi,
    Yes we can create WebI on the top of SAP Objects - InfoCube, DSO, Characteristics etc...
    But we have to keep in mind that for WebI we must create Universe.
    When we create universe we make direct connection with SAP Objects but we get less functionality - such Calculated Key Figures, Restricted Key Figures, formulas etc. Now you have to achieve all these missing components at Universe Level and at WebI level.
    If you are creating your universe on the top of DSO and InfoObject then make sure they set for reporting.
    There are some online documentation which tells that what functionality you can achieve.
    Check the following document to have a bird's eye view.
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/100369a7-033e-2c10-94a4-f254f8578153?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal

    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.

    Yes

    How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?
    >>Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create
    >>a file in RAS's default temp directory?
    Pretty sure yes.

    Not on App server.
    For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

  • Failed to fill the prompts when creating Webi Report

    Hi,
    I am having some difficulties when I was trying to creating Webi reports. It shows error when I tried to fill in the prompts before the query runs. The report data comes from the SAP Business Warehouse. So far it is my understanding for the query flow:
    Step 1
    SAP Business Warehouse <-- Query A (BW Query) <--
    Step 2
    BO Universe <-- Query B (By drag & drop) <-- Application(e.g. Webi, QaaWS)
    When I run the Query A (using 'Analyzer' in 'Business Explorer') to extract data from BW, the query appears 7 optional parameters for filtering. After I filled some of the fields, the query runs fine -> Step 1 OK.
    When I want to do the same thing in a BO approach by building query (i.e. Query B) to draw data from the universe (which points to the Query A in BW) using different applications(e.g. QaaWS, Webi via InfoViewApp, Java Webservice SDK: QueryService & ReportEngine, etc), the application will display 7 optional prompts (i.e. those referring to those appeared in Query A) before the query executes. However, when I tried to fill those prompts, the application appears some fill prompts error and no query job is submitted to the BW -> Step 2 Fails.
    When I skipped to fill those optional prompts in building the Query B, the query job can be submitted and the query result is returned.
    Before the error occurs, I have been working on building similar Webi report and everything goes fine. I feel so strange that why the error appears so suddenly and I would like to ask how to avoid it.
    Many Thanks,

  • How to connect Already created WebI reports with Xcelsius Dashboards

    HI Experts,
    My requirement it to bring data from already in use WebI reports to a consolidated Dashboard. I am aware of connecting universe with Dashboard with the help of QaaWS.
    Is there is any other way that we can connect our dashboard?
    We are thinking to publish those dashboards on the SAP Enterprise BI Portal.
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Edited by: BIBO_Apprentice on Aug 13, 2011 7:40 AM

    Hi,
    One can connect WebI reports with Xcelsius dashboards in 3 ways:
    1. Using QaaWS : connects universe with Dashboard. Dashboard uses the WSDL link to get data that works on SOAP (that works on exchanging web structures).
    2. Using Live Office Connection: With the help of Live Office one can connect the WebI reports directly. One can take advantage of the scheduled instances of the WebI reports. So it is good for time consuming reports.
    3. Using BI Web Services: Here custom web services are created of intended report instances. Publication is done from CMS side.
    after that WSDL is used as any other web services.
    Get back if you need any further clarification.
