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.
Tried applet patch upgrade(From link : https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000902752013E) for webi certificate but didn't help.
Please suggest what could be done.

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports
Is it possible to have a common prompt on the Dashboard. Which passes these variables/prompts to other WEBI reports show on the dashboard
Most of the financial WEBI reports have common prompt (year and period)
If I select or enter two common prompt can this be passed to all the webi reports shown on that DashBoard.
Thanks & Regards
Ishaq

Hi,
You cannot achieve this using WEBI alone. You will have to use Xcelsius with WEBI to achieve this. In XI R3.1 you can use the content linking feature on the dashboard to link a Xcelsius Analytic with multiple WEBi reports. You just need to pass prompts to the Xcelsius Analytic and all the corresonding reports will recieve that value. There are several possibilities with this and i have just stated one. Hope that helps.

Different column detail webi report

Dear experts,
Is it possible to have a webi report with the following columns' layout:
Country | Average 2009 | Jan 2010 | Feb 2010 | .... | Dec 2010 | Average 2010
I've created a variable directly in the webi report but I'm not able to have detail by month in 2010 and a column with the 2010 total.
Any ideas?
thank you!
Best,
Inês Santos

Hey Inês,
Country | Avg 2009 | Jan10 | Avg 2010 | Feb 2010 | Avg 2010 | .... | Dec 2010 | Avg 2010.
You're correct foreach Month-Year it will append one column, yesterday I didn't find enough time to see this.
Solution:
1. just drag Cross-tab from templates.
2. In Column section(far left) Drop object.
3. In Rows Just right-click on it and Say Insert row above.
4. on Newly inserted row, Drag object
Note: object should contain only years only like 2009, 2010 etc...,
5. In below row , just drag object (which has Jan10,Feb10 etc...,)
6. Now Click on object and say Insert column right
Here, use formuls to calculate Avg(2009) == See my earlier post
7. Now on Object , the top one (row), apply Break.
8. It will append two columns for you. One is exact size with Column and one more with small size(white background). Here you can remove small one.
9. Now on newly added/appended column , write Avg(2010) formula.
10. On object (top one== row), go to properties == Make Text and Back ground color to White and Width and height to 0(Zero- it will take 4 pixels== which is default)
Now you can see exact report, what you are trying to achieve.
I tried and tested. Hope it should work for you.
Thank You!!

Connection timeout error in web report(portal)

Hi Experts,
Points to note about the 500 connection timeout error
1. Error persists only in portal. query/ report works fine in RSRT and Bex Analyser.
2.As per previous discussions tried implementing SAP notes to change ICM parameter for max of 10 minutes.
However, it is said by Basis team that they can change parameter only if all the report gives the same error.
Since all the report works fine they are nt ready to change the parameter.
4. Error: Time exceeds 600seconds
5.This issue arised only after upgrading the system to 7.3. post - upgrade. this report was working fine before.
6. Even in the portal, report works fine when we use ABAP web link.
Please share your suggestions.

In the trace file there is a error message for this report "Could not find a command, masscommand or group command with alias <new task>. It is defined in group . <TaskCollectionGroup>. pls any one help me. This is for 7.31 NW portal

Open a webi report from a Dashboard components

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard using Dashboards 4.0.It has a bar chart,line chart,combination chart.all these chart on X-Axis have month names as dimensions and y - axis shows different measures.
So now the requirement is the user wants to select any month from any one of the chart at one particular point of time.then the dashboard should open a Detailed Webi report( created in BI Launch pad) for the selected month and display that month data in a new window.
I know that we have to use the URL button in Dashboards for linking a webi document.
However i would like to know how to pass the selected month from the dashboard by selecting a particular month from any of the graph component as a parameter to the respective Webi report in BI Launch pad.
Hence any body how to implement this in Dashboards please let me know the step by step process.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Naga Nanda Kishore.

Hi Kishore,
Month name should be prompt for the Detail Webi Report, so when u clicked on bar its going to carry that Month as Well. And Syntax for adding Month will be like below.
Suppose if it is Sample Open Doc:
/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC
So u have to use this Syntax for Month
lsSMonth=+ Map the Cell where month is capturing. (Note:In lsSMonth Month is next of Prompt for month in Detailed Report.
And final URL will be
"/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?mistype=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC&lsSMonth=+Selected Month"
(Open Doc) (Sending (Selected Month) Month)
And For trigger the URL button you have keep trigger URL when Month Value changes(Based on Selection), means you have map trigger cell to destination of Bar chart Month Destination.
Thanks and Regards

Link from WEBI chart to WEBI report

All, how can I link a WEBI chart (column) chart to an detail WEBI report. Appreciate any inputs.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi Ann,
You can use the chart bars as reportfilter (much like the dropdown box filter effect),
It is actually implemented as an input control, so you can control a detail table below the chart by clicking on a chart bar.
However hyperlink from the table is not possible in BI40 (yet).
(Right click the table, Linking, Add element link).
So you either have to use the data in the same report option, or use the hyperlink option from a table cell...
(Right click the cell, Linking, Add hyperlink).
As I noticed you are using BICS, before jumping to using dashboards (FKA excelsius), be aware that the BICS connectivity in there is still the version running on BW, so unlike a WebI report, you have to publish the dashboard in BW and access it via an SAP portal environment, you cannot run it directly from within BI launchpad (in BI41 this will change). So to link from the portal environment to the BI launchpad for the WebI document you would need some portal integration work too.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Webi Reports Hyperlinks on top of OLAP Universe

Hi Webi Gurus,
my BoBJ version 3.1 sp3
BW-OLAP universe.
I checked below Link for the solution, but couldn't
get answer, as these are based on relational universes.
/people/erika.atencio2/blog/2011/04/14/creating-hyperlinks-between-webi-reports-in-infoview
I have a OLAP universe. On top of it, there are two reports
One parent report and one child report.
Question: I have a column called Auction Id on parent report.
Now, when I click on any of the Auction Id values, child report
should only bring data for that Auction Id alone and not other Auction Ids.
In the child report, I have Auction Id as query filter.
Now while in Webi's Interactive Mode, I chose the option
Select Column--> Create Hyperlink --> Link to a document -->
Document prompts: Prompt User in runtime.
This option works fine.
However, when I change the Document Prompt to:
Select Object (or) Build Formula
report throws MDX error, during run-time,
Please suggest.
MDX error:
========================================================================
The query failed to execute with the error Value for the Characteristic.....WIS 10901
==================================================================================
Regards,
AK

Still getting error...I tried this
>> 1. In the detail webi report, create a query filter for AuctionID and use Equal operator. Give the prompt text as ActionID.
AK: Done
>> 3. In the column properties, in the display section select display cell content as HTML.
AK: Done
When I provide the URL and Parse it throws following error.
"Invalid identifier a at position 15. (WIS 10022) "
I gave following URL and parsed it.
="<a href="http://sapbojdev:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
iDocID=18774&lsSAuction ID="URLEncode([Auction ID])"&sRefresh=Y
Q: Is there any problem with syntax?
Q: Secondly, for OLAP universe based webi report , can't we use the hyperlink option:
Link to Document
Thanks,
AK

Migrate Webi Report / Universe from Dev to production

Hello,
there are lot of possibilities to migrate a Webi report or a universe from Development server to Production server. my question for the experts is what is best practice scenario to do that. What should i take in consideration.
if i rename my Production universe, place it in an other Path and base my migration on the option "compare name and Path" of the universes. would it migrate ? What about the Connection ?
My Target when migrating Universes. Is only to migrate the universe without connections
But when migrating Webi Reports is to migrate only the reports without universes or connections. But at the same time be sure that the Report is adressed to the right universe in the Destination System.
Is that realistic .. Thanx ..

Prerequest:
You should have Remote access to both the server the BO is installed
Approach1:
Login to source server
create a folder with the name temp.biar in the desktop of server 1
Go to import wizard of server 1
select server 1 as source and temp.biar file as a destination and import all that required to biar file
from server 1 connect to server 2 and place this biar file in some shared folder
connect to server2
open the shared folder and copy that biar file and place it in the desktop of server2
Go to import wizard of server 2
select the temp.biar file from desktop of server 2 and destination as server 2
and complete the process
Note: as we are doing this in remote, there will be lot of issues while connection to path which sometimes even the erro r message will mislead us....
Approach2:
dont create any biar file
Login to server 2
Go to import wizard
select server 1 as source and server 2 as destination and move directly from server to server
Approach2 is not preffered if server 2 is production serve....
this may help
Thanks,

Isolating WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server

Post Author: Lucia Chan
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Has anyone successfully isolated WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to be processed by specific Webi Report Processing Server? We need to enforce governance on the database side. We can restrict scheduling for Webi reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server, but not for ad hoc reports. Otherwise is there a way to do connection override for scheduled Webi reports?

New version that's comming up SBO Bi4.0 will have bouilt in monitoring that will allow what you requesting.
In the current product line - this is not possible, unless you just monitor WIReportServer.exe at OS level and alert when it's memory or CPU usage goest too high... (if memory reaches close to and above 1.7gb - you're going into troubles.)
There are various fixes and improvements to Webi processing stability in recent fix and service packs, so if you're having webi instability - you should review latest FP fix issues list (in SMP to right of FP download there is an Info link - it leads to fixed issues docs).
If you do not see your issue listed - open incident with support - let them investigate.
Webi crashing when merging/unmerging dimentions sounds like a bug...

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.

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
- Entitlement system tab --> username: BO_Service
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!
