  • How to remove Decimals in Quantity Objects in SAP BO Explorer View created on top SAP Bex Query?

    Hi,
    I created SAP BO Explorer report on top of SAP BEx Query.
    In SAP BEx Query, Decimals were hided but when i created OLAP Universe on top that SAP BEx Query and Created Index on top of Information Space in SAP BO Explorer and then created Exploration Views. But i'm getting Decimals in my Exploration Views where as SAP BEx Query in RSRT, no decimals were appearing.
    Can anyone suggest me how to remove decimals in SAP BO Exploration Views.

    Hi Ramana,
    I am not use how you connect to SAP BEx query (Via universe or BWA or HANA)
    What I could say is BWA and HANA, you cannot adjust this
    For universe, you could try in universe layer, there is note about this
    For BWA and HANA, this function might be enhanced but you 'd better raise OSS to SAP to check with them

  • 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.

  • SAP BEx query's Conditions and Exceptions on BO Universe

    We are planning to create Conditions and Exception on SAP BEx Query. And provide this query to BO team for their development
    Could anyone tell me in what form will these BEx objects be visible in BO-Universe ....as detail objects...or query filters and a.s.o?
    Will they be Invisible? If invisible will they be atleast applied to BO-Universe.
    For e,g: I know that, BEx Query filter will be applied to the underlying query but are not visible in OLAP universe.
    - Anil

    Hi,
    Conditions and Excpetions are not supported by OLAP BAPI tehrefore they are not generated in universes or consumed at query level.
    You have to create conditions on measures in universes (except top end bottom exceptions that are not supported).
    Exceptions need to be done at cliient level (Webi, XCelsius, etc).
    I BOE CI 4.0 conditions will be supporte by the Semantic Layer direct acces with BICS but exceptions will continue to be created at client level.

  • Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

    Dear all,
    I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
    I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
    Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
    I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in  a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
    would rise exponentially). 
    In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
    Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax. 
    Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
    Any advise?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.
    M.

    Hi Ingo,
    1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
    I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
    If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
    2) Another question is:
    Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
    For example:
    Instead of this:
    <FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
        <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
            <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
        </CONDITION>
    </FILTER>
    Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.

  • Cognos Framework Manager

    I want to create new report through Framework Manager, I opened atg.cpf from DCS.DW module and modified the report and published, instead of generationg .zip file (like commerce.zip) it is gerenated .xml files, so how to generate zip file for ACI report.
    ~~Prakash Koruttu

    Framework Manager is used to model the metadata data, not to create a report. If you want to add anything to the metadata model then you would use Framework Manager and publish the new model to the server. If you wanted to author a report you need to use either Query Studio or Report Studio. These Studios can be launched from the ATG Reporting Center (aka Cognos Connection). In some cases you might need to makes changes to the meatadata model before you author a report. In this situation you would first use Framework Manager and then one of the two Studios. If the metadata model contains all the information you need to author a report then all you need is to use one of the two Studios to author a report.
    I suggest you take a look at the Cognos documentation set to better understand which tools are used for which purposes.

  • How to print sap bex query varaibles in webi report

    Dear Friends,
    I created a webi Report on universe ( Based on SAP BW Bex Query with variables).
    its working fine. Now i want to show the selected variable values on the top of my webi report.
    How can i access and print my bex query variables on header of my webi report.
    We are using BOE 3.1 SP2, SAP BI 7.02.
    Regards
    Malik

    Malik
    That is default behavior of BO. The integration mapping from BI to BO will populates like that, COZ you made BI variable on top of Date dimension, which needs From and TO fields.
    To display that info, what user has selected on the fly:
    As suggested, use UserResponse() function.
    keep in mind, prompt text and userresponse text must be identical. Otherwise, it wont't work.
    Eg: prompt Text: Enetr From Date:
    Var: =UserResponse(Enter From Date:) -->> Results: (Blank)
    Why?? Prompt text Enetr not Enter
    Hope it clears you.
    I'm Back

  • Crystal reports - Create Report from SAP Bex Query

    I have installed the Crystal reports 2008 for a trial period and the sap integration kit. I have created a new report from a sap query and I am trying to format the report. I would like the columns headings be similar to Bex query - Current Month Jan 2009 which includes the selection parameter of month. I have tried with no sucess. Any help will be appreciated

    Ingo
    in crystal reports the variables are available in the field explorer. However when I drag the date selection to the report (in design mode) i get the foloowing ?[0I_CALMO], but when I execute the report I don't get any values. I also tried to create a formula but could not access the parameter for month year. Is there documentation on how to do this?
    Thanks for your help.

  • GetCellData error in WebI to SAP BEx Query

    Hi all,
    We have  multicube with a BeX query and and universe. We have created roles with authorizations and restrict users on Retun Line and Business Unit. We have created the authorization variables in the BeX query on Return Line and on Business Unit.
    When we create a query only using Return Line, the authorization works and returns the correct result. When we use only Business Unit we got no results which is incorrect, but when we use a query in Webi with both Return Line and Business Unit we get the following error:
    "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)"
    Any ideas where the issue can be? We have double checked the authorizations in BW and they seem fine. We have also assigned ALL BU's on Business Unit in so not to restrict anything.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jacques

    Hi Ingo,
    We are still having issues with the authorizations. I think this is where the root of all evil is...
    My account has SAP_ALL so I can run eveything just fine.
    An account has been created to test against... XUSER. This user belongs to roles, ZCBW_BARTN_100 to restrict data on the Return, ZCBW_BUPC_B00000 to restrict data in Business Unit and Profit Centre, and a 3rd role ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER that is used for general authorisations for the user - I think.
    When the report is refreshed an error is raised: Failed to retrieve data form the database.... Database Error:'BAPI error #: 0. Unknown error when executing MDX.' When I remove ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER from XUSER, Crystal 2008 raises and error in the line of "XUSER has no RFC authorization for function group SYST. So this is leading me to think the issue is in the setup of this ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER role and certain access/autthorization has been removed preventing the user from executing the MDX via BOBJ correctly.
    When one has a user account, what is the minimum authorization needed in a role to be able to execute queries from BOBJ using the MDX drivers? I think this may resolve the issue as the guys here have really locked down on a lot of stuff.
    Thanks

  • How to migrate SAP Bex Query to BO report

    Hi All,
    I want to migrate some of the reports from Bex Query to SAP BO.
    Will you suggest me what are the best ways to do this,Whether there are any tools to do this??
    Regards,
    Shiva Kumar G.C

    Hi,
    When you say migrate do you mean to use BOBJ for reporting?
    If your answer is yes then other questions come into picture.
    What type of reports you have in SAP- Adhoc, WAD, Formatted etc?
    BusinessObjects is combination of some tools.
    WebI is a web base tool and mostly used for Adhoc. You will have to create a Universe on the top of your Bex Query and then WebI Document (WebI Report)
    Crystal Reports is used for formatted reporting. You will create connection on the base of your requirement. You can create a Universe or make a direct connection with your InfoProvider and then create your reports. Use MDX functionality to create Reports.
    Crystal Xcelsius is used for dash board reporting.
    And if your answer is no to above question and you want to migrate your reports to BOBJ like and upgrade without recreating the reports then it is not possible.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 and SAP BEX query.  Issue in retrieiving multiple recd

    Hi All,
    I have designed a crystal report which has BEX query as a datasource. The values from this query are placed in page header. Also two subreports are available which get data from an RFC. Main report and sub report are linked by primary key ID.
    (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure)  When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record. But when I execute the crystal report, execution says 2 records and my details section is getting repeated.
    I am unable to use filter as it is a keyfigure.
    Any suggestions or  help here is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Surya

    Hi,
    BEX query retrieves only one record (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure) When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record). I am puzzled on how the crystal is retrieving two records.
    Actually infocube has 2 records one with status "active" and the other with status "postponed". Some other fields also will vary.
    So, I cannot use this formula to supress.
    Regards,
    Surya.
