Connect 2 BO Universes in a WebI Report

Hi,
I need to set up a WebI report with 2 universes. Each universes is based on a SAP BW Query and has a date variable to execute the BW query. I established the report based on the first universe and then added in the "edit query" window with the funtion "add query" the second universe. Both universes have a data variable to execute the BW query. But I could not link these 2 date variables together, so that the user has to enter only ONCE the date. Is there any possiblity to passthrough the entered date from the first query to the other query? When yes, how can I do this?
Please help!
Thank you Stefanie

Hi Stefanie,
You have not posted the complete definition or the main prompt definition which should be as
@Prompt('text','A','Class\LOV Object',mono,free)
please check that part. Even single extra space in the definition would result in the two different prompt.
Check once for space or spelling...there must be something different..
If both the definition are exactly the same then I can't think of reason why it is so?
You can try this: Create the two more prompts at the universe level (keeping exactly the same definition). And pull these two prompts in their respective queries and check the result. If you get the result then replace the genrated defintion of the prompt
Hope it helps you.
Regards,
Rohit

Question if Webi reports need to be re-pointed to Universes

We are running XIR2 SP2 using a SQL 2005 database. Our Universes are connected using an ODBC connection. We have moved the database to a new SQL instance and have created a new OLE DB connection in designer. I am in the process of changing the Universe's connection in Universe Parameters, from the ODBC connection to use the OLE DB connection. This is the only change to the Universes'. Are there any reasons why the webi reports using these Universes need to re-pointed to the Universe in Query Properties?

Hi Michael,
If you have made any change in the universe connection and reexported back to the repository then you need not to repoint the report(preexisting one to the universe).
You have to just refresh the report to observe the change.
You can test this using this workflow;
Create a test universe with sql server 2000 ODBC connection , now using this create a webi report and in that use a function name connection().
It will show you the details of connection in the report.
Now go to universe and change the connection from ODBC to oledb.
Reexport the universe.
Open the report and refresh it , the data in connection() function will show oledb details which were earlier showing ODBC details.
So we dont have to repoint the reports to the universe.
I hope this helps.

Gaurav

WebI reports - Universe(source) change

Post Author: Use_BO
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
hi,
I have a question regarding webI reports.
If there are 2 universes of absolute same structure and objects, can the WebI reports built on one universe accessed from the other.
Is there any way we can change the source universe of a report. Or you have to build the WebI reports from scratch for the new universe
Please help me with this question. This is very urgent.
Thanks.

CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Yes, you can change the universe used in WebI reports (assuming you are using XI R2 - don't know about prior versions)1. Open you WebI report2. Go to Edit Query3. Click on the Properties tab4. Under the Universe section, click the ... button to the right of the current Universe name.5. A list of your universes will appear, find the new universe in the list and click OK6. The Change Source dialog box will appear, it will automatically map fields of the same name. If your names don't exactly match, you can manually map them.7. Once you are have verified the field mapping, click OK8. Your report is now pointed to the new universe!Hope that helps!

Error (IES10901) (WIS 10901) while refreshing the Webi report

Hi Gurus,
We have created webi reports using Universe design tool on top of BEX Query based on 0SD_C03 cube and now we are facing Database error: A runtime exception has occured. (Error loading cube 0sd_c03 (catalog : % 3). (IES 10901 ) (WIS 10901) while trying to refresh the Webi report from Data Access--> Edit--> Run Query while its running fine when I refresh the report using refresh button option in Webi.
When I run the the query in rsrt its working absolutely fine.
Note that we are using BOBJ 4.0 SP7 and this issue has come recently.
Any idea or help on this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Monil

Hello Monali,
are you getting this error constantly or sometimes?
what type of connection are you using for your Webi report
Is it Specified user name/password OLAP connection or SSO Olap connection
If your are using Specified user name/password OLAP then try with SSO connection because SAp recommendation is not to use Specified user name/password OLAP connections..to resolve this kind of issues please restart DSL bridge..

Webi report: Issue Cannot retrieve dimensions from Cube

Hello Experts, We're facing an issue with a partical set of Webi reports in Quality environment. The reports are BW reports based on OLAP BICS connectivity on top of Bex queries.y Below is the scenario and the issue: 1. The backed Bex queries have been trasported to Quality BW system and they're running fine when run from RSRT or Bex analyzer. 2.The Webi reports along with the BICS connections have been migrated to the Quality box and the BICS connections have been editied so that they point to the Quality BOX bex queries and they're testing and responding to the connection successfully. 3. The Webi reports pointed to the Dev Box in the Dev BOBJ system are working fine, but when the same reports for which the connections were repointed in Quality as above, are giving the error "Cannot Retrieve Dimensions from Cube". Steps taken: a. Deleted the reports and the BICS connection from Quality environment and remigrated the reports,connecitons and changed the connecitons but still the issue persists. b.Tried finding the root cause and got the following issue in the Bex query in Quality: There are filters put in the Bex query . All other filters are working fine except 0CALMONTH. We tried putting all sorts of variables on 0CALMONTH, but the moment a variable is put on 0CALMONTH, this issue occurs. But when we tried removing the variable from 0CALMONTH in filters and restricted it to a single value, the Report works fine. However the same is not an issue in the Dev Box and all queries with similar variables are working fine. So we're thinking this might be an issue on the BW backend and the cube might have to be transported again to the Quality Box. ANy quick suggestions or inputs on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
I am facing same issue.Have you resolve this issue?

Error while running Webi report that uses Custom Dimension object(SAP BW)

Hi,
I have a universe that is based on SAP BW.I have created a custom dimension object that displays the maximum date.
The object syntax is
<expression>Max(@Select(CPS Online\Calendar day))</expression>
The object parses successfully.
The object 'Calendar Day ' is a defaultobject created during universe creation from the BW query.It is defined as [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
I tried to create a Webi report using this object and a measure .On running the query it throws the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22] AS ' Max{[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]} ' SELECT { [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22], [Measures].[4JCOSFOKKCUR3RMBPNROFKQQD] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0CALDAY].[20CALDAY] ON ROWS FROM [ZCCPSONL/ZCPSONLINE] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with (. (WIS 10901)
I have tried every possible syntax I could think of but I keep getting this error each time.I have set the object type to Number (even though it is actually a Date), I have tried writing the MDX inside the Max instead of the @select , but nothing seems to work.Could anyone please let me know why this error is occuring?Is there anything wrong with the syntax or is there any setting in Webi needed before a custom dimension object can be used on it.

Can you see data for Custom object @ BEx level??
YES, then just try to re-create the same variable and Save the BW query.
Now do View - refresh Strusture @ Universe. And you can see Filter for the same, just Parse it, just whether it is OK or not.
OK -- then Export the Universe and create WebI reports, this will come as Prompt.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank You!!

Webi reports and objects associated with uiverses

Hi,
I want to know the list all universes associated with wei reports and their objects (database field) using query builder.
I am using select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind='Webi'. I could able to get the universe associated with webi report in fielf si_webi_doc_properties.
1) How can I get only UnvName from XML
2) How to get objects associated with a webi reports

Hi Jaya,
Have you also tried finding the report within CMC and then right clicking and selecting relationships? It should show you all Universes associated with your report. If you meant all reports related to a Universe, you can do the same for the Universe.
Thanks

Webi Report showing incorrect prompt from bex query

Hello Gurus:
I am facing a unique problem.
I have a BEx Query which has a variable. I have built implement a BADI which restricts the variable values for the BEx Query.
I have created an Universe on top of the BEx Query. And I have created a webi Report on top of the Universe.
The Webi Report when run does not use the Webi Prompt values, in other words it ignores the restrictions that I have placed on the variables. Instead it displays the whole list.
Am I missing anything. Can some please help.
Thanks
EmJay

Hi,
select at least one key figure in the webi report and then try.
Thanks,
Amit

Error when refreshing WEBI report with Universe Connection Type "SSO"

Hi Experts:
We are trying to refresh the Webi report in Infoview with Universe Connection set as "Use Single Sign On when refreshing the report at view time", so that we can leverage SAP OLAP authorization variable from Bex Query which the Universe is built on.
However got the error of "incomplete logon data" after all the configurations done following below blogs:
SNC Part 1
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2
SNC Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-2-of-2
We already have Win AD SSO to SAP setup, and in BO CMC, Win AD user is mapped to SAP user ID.
The SNC settings are:
- AD Account: service.test.bobj (all lower-letters)
- 32-bit gsslib on the BO server, and 64 bit on the BW server side.
- SNC0: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SU01 --> BO_Service ; SNC: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN

SNC Name: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SNC settings tab:
SNC Lib: c:\winnt\gsskrb5.dll
Mutual Authentication settings: p:SAPServiceBP0 at DOMAIN
In CMC, the role can be imported if "RFC activated" option unchecked in SNC0.
I found a few threads on the same topic, but they are all not answered:
SNC Client side configuration error
SNC Configuration Error: Incomplete logon Data
Can you please provide details of the solution if you have impleted a same scenario successsfully, or any thoughts to help the investigation?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, we are trying to set up server side trust and enable SSO; but we still couldn't success.
What we did is:
1. We followed installation guide chapter 6, generate certificate and PSE, etc. All looks good.
2. Then we still have the "incomplete logon data" error when refreshing webi report after logon using Windows AD user ID.
3. Then we trace the PFC connection, the log is as below. We checked several BO notes, e.g. 1500150, 1461247.. The part bothers us is that we even don't have URI displayed in the log when system trying to use SNC, and we couldn't get more info on this which make us very difficult to diagnosis.
Can you please help? Thanks a lot!

Webi Report on BW Universe works in DEV but not properly in TEST

Hi,
We have created a Webi-Report on a BW Universe on our DEV server. Everything works like a charm and we are prompted as the first thing for keydate and the report is refreshed successfully. We then export the Universe (no connection overwrite) and Report to our TEST server with the Export Wizard and the problems start.
When we refresh the report on the TEST server we are prompted for keydate. If we select a value for the date we receive an error:
A database error occured The database error text is: The MDX (and then some MDX) failed to execute with the error Specify a value for variable Financial Statement Version. (WIS 10901)
If we select Use default value the report refreshes but no currency conversion is done. We can then refresh the report again and this time if we select a value for the keydate the report refreshes without the above error.
We have tried to overwrite the connection during export from DEV to TEST so the connection points to our DEV BW Server with the same result. If we create the universe on the TEST server from scratch everything works as intended.
If we transport the Universe and report from DEV to PROD directly the report works as intended.
The BO user (SSO WinAd) testing this have admin rights on BO. The connection in the univers to BW is done using a fixed username and password (no SSO to BW)
I am now out of options and would appreciate any input you might have to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Lars

Hi Wavery,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the connections and they are named exactly the same on DEV/TEST/PROD. I have also tried deleting the universe, connection and report on TEST and then do a new transport of all of them from DEV to TEST. Same result.
What I don't understand is why the refresh works if I do it in two steps:
<OL>
<LI>
I set keydate to "use default value" when prompted and the report will refresh without the keydate dependent calculations. None keydate dependent measures are showing correct values from BW.
</LI>
<LI>
Then I refresh again and set the keydate to a date and the report refreshes with the dependent calculations.
</LI></OL>
This tells me the connection is working and the problem is somewhere else. At the moment I'm clueless
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lars

Webi Report on top of a BEx Report vs a Universe in BI 4.0

Not sure if this belongs in this forum or a different one
I am trying to build a report in BI 4 against a BEx report and I don't know if this is possible or not. When I created the universe on top of the BEx report, the hierarchy levels convert to objects. My report requirement is to show different levels of the hierarchy on different tabs. Is there any way to break the hierarchy apart so that each level is a separate object or do I still need to go through the universe to achieve this?
thanks in advance for your help!

Srvavan
Let me try to explain in a different way. I have used the UDT in BI 4.0 to create a universe against a BEx report. As the universe is being built against the BEx report, it takes the different levels of the hierarchy and creates objects for each level. Lvl01 Cost Center, Lvl02 Cost Center... Lvln Cost Center. However when I try to create a report in Webi using the BICS connection, I only see Cost Center. Is there any way to create the Lvl01 Cost Center, Lvl02 Cost Center... Lvln Cost Center in BEx up front?

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.

Hi,
try with this.
Starting the Gateway Service on the Message Server resolved this issue.
There have also been reports of this issue when name resolution issues occur between the client and the Message Server machine. As a test, you can add the Message Server name and IP address to the Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file.
Or check SAP note 1590518.

WIS 10901 error when running webi report on top SAP BW InfoCube Universe

Hello,
After completing all the role assignments and integration kit installations, finally got to a point where have completed the universe development on top of a SAP BW InfoCube.
Once, I have exported the universe tried creating a Webi report and with a simple one dimension report I am getting the error "error_db" "WIS 10901".
I looked in the forums and came across some messages talking about MDX Parser. So, based on the OSS Note 1032461 went into SM59 to test the connection for MDX Parser and it is working fine.
When I hit "Run query" from webi the following is the error message
A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. [0GL_ACCOUNT].[LEVEL01].[20GL_ACCOUNT].[Value]. (WIS 10901)
I am not sure what went wrong.
Please let me know if I missed out anything or if there is anything else to be checked to avoid this error.
I tried looking into SM21 and ST22 but did not see any error messages out there.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hello,
I also went into transaction MDXTEST and wrote a sample MDX statement on the InfoCube on top of which the universe is built.
SELECT
[Measures].MEMBERS ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY [<dimension>].MEMBERS ON ROWS
FROM [<cubename>]
<dimension> is the dimension in the rows and <cubename> is the cube on top of which the Universe is built for creating the webi reports.
This MDX came back with proper data.
But the Webi is still giving me the same error.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Dharma.
