Converting Business Objects (BO) reports to OBIEE

I am attempting to convert BO reports... I have a Request which determines a subset of all Customer Numbers based on certain criteria. I would then like to have a LEFT JOIN from all customers (with some filters applied) to this subset and have a column in the result Request that has a 'yes' for all accounts that are part of the subset, and 'no' for all the rest. This was achieved with user variables in BO, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this in OBIEE.
I tried the "Combining with Similar Request" and maybe I don't fully understand it, but it seems overly restrictive; I can't add a column that is in one of the Requests, but not in the other.
I hope this makes sense. I would appreciate any help.

If you would suffer me once more, please help me to understand what you mean.
Let's say Cust 1 has acct. types A, B, and C. Each type is recognized by an ACCT_TYPE_CODE. Cust 2 has Acct. types A, C, D, E, cust 3 has acct. types A, B, and F, and cust 4 has acct. types C, D.
I am trying to run a report of all custs with acct. type A and if the customer also has acct. type B, to display this in a column of the report with a 'Yes' and no otherwise.
The results should look like:
Customer B?
Cust 1 'Yes'
Cust 2 'No'
Cust 3 'Yes'
To make this work, I need two filters: one to filter all acct. types so only customers with acct. type A show up, and another (actually a formula) to look at all the other acct. types the customer may have and indicate a 'yes' or 'no' if that customer has acct. type B.
So far, I either get too little info (filter restricts too much) or too much info (customers with other than acct. type A show up on the report).

    you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.

  • BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports-based out of Function module

    We are right now creating BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports. Our client requirement is to create this report based out of u201CFunction moduleu201D.
    With the current parameters settings at the Crystal Reports designer we are able to create the report based on View and Linking various table. The reports get executed and fetch data. But when we create a report based out of FM, the report returns nothing. The screen stays in u201CNot responding stageu201D and terminates after without any message/pop-up.
    Can anyone please help us resolving this? Are there any parameters/settings to be done which we are missing?
    Thanks,
    Pallavi

    Hi Pallavi,
    Not much info to go on. What version of Cr are you using?
    What database and version are you using?
    How are you connecting to the database, ODBC, OLE DB or native driver?
    Have you turned tracing on the server to what SQL is being passed from CR?
    Have you copied the SQL from Show SQL in the Designer and paste that into a DB SQL test tool to verify you should be getting data back and that you are not returning so much data it's going to take a week to get?
    Not responding simply means CR is waiting for data, try being patient and see if you ever get data or add a Record Selection formula so you only get a few rows of data.
    Try reporting off of a single table itself to verify it works and you have permission to run the SQL.
    Thank you

  • Business Objects XI report timeout

    Hi All,
    I'm running a quite simple environment:
    Windows 2003 R2 SP2
    IIS 6
    Oracle Database (remote on Linux but same subnet)
    Business Objects Server XI R1 SP3.
    I'm having an issue with reports getting time out errors after 2 minutes before they have had a chance to complete.
    What I want to do is increase the setting that lets the report run before it errors. I can monitor my database and still see SQL being passed when the 2 minute limit is reached.
    I have changed the 'Default Website Properties' Connection Timeout setting in IIS to 500 seconds and restarted, this has not helped the problem. I have looked through all the settings under Servers in the CMC, I can't see the right one. I'm not asking for the connecting setting before I need to log back in, I need the setting that will let a report run for 10 minutes before it errors.
    If I run a problem report via Schedule, it completes but is very close to 2 minutes. If I run it On Demand, it times out after 2 minutes, but I can still see the query selecting data then gets terminated.
    Thanks in advance, Jason.

    I had the same problem on a 12 mo cost report that produced 95,000 records and read close to 400,000.  Could only run 4 months. 
    Changed the "Database Records Read When Previewing or Refreshing" parameter to 0 (unlimited) in CrystalReportsProcessingServer
    and changed the "Maximum Cache Size (KB)" parameter in CrystalReportsCacheServer from 250,000 to 500,000 - then it would run.
    Sorry, wrong thread I think - I was getting "max processing time or max records limit reached" error message but I think my problem was max records rather than timeouts.

  • Business Objects Webi Report looks at the wrong universe

    Hi,
    Problem: A Webi Report that is believed to be running off Universe A in Dev A Environment no longer works because for an unknown reason it is trying to run off Universe A (same name different version) in Dev B Environment where most of the objects do not exist.
    Universe A has not been changed in either Environments. Reports were working yesterday but not today (reports were not changed too).
    Any ideas what may have caused this? The only way we were able to find out that it was using the wrong universe was when we checked the Universe in the properties of the Query.
    Many thanks.

    hi Saleem,
    in the above senario,  how can a WebI report automatically catch Bad Universe.  (we cannot save 2 universes of same name in one folder).  So how the above senario happned.

  • Issue in using BIAccelerator with Business Objects WebIntelligence report

    Hi,
    I am trying to improve performance of Webi Reports on BW queries (with huge data load) with BI Accelerator.
    When I run one BW query (with millions of records) in Bex 7, am getting data within no time when I used BIA.
    When I run Webi report on universe which is developed on same BW query, report is running for long hours and finally giving message "No data to return Query1".
    Am not sure whether my report query is hitting BIA from WebI or not .
    Can we use BIA with WebI reports or not (to increase performance)?
    Any help on this please.
    Thanks,
    Dhana.

    Hi Dhana,
    Webi - like any tool that is based on BEx queries - will use BIA. However, for Webi the data has to be passed through the MDX interface which slows things down. Please make sure you apply all notes listed in SAP note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1142664">1142664 MDX: Composite SAP note about performance improvements</a>.

  • Business Objects Crystal Reports with Clarity - anyone on here use is?

    Hi all,
    we are in the process of upgrading our Clarity system to version 8.1.1 - which has gone away from Actuate to support Crystal Reports instead.
    Is anyone here using Crystal Reports with Actuate already?
    I was looking into upgrading from CR XI to CR 2008 - but wondered if the extra functionality is worth the upgrade cost.
    They say that users can interact with the data by sorting/filtering and re-formatting without re-querying the database - and there is a parameter panel that allows new parameters to be added to the 'saved' data..
    i was wondering if those features are available when it is used with Clarity..
    thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Hi Matthew,
    I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports;  forum:
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.

  • Business Objects Enterprise Licensing for Crystal Reports

    I am new to Business Objects & Crystal Reports. I have recently been given the repsonsibility of supporting our BO XI R2 environment. This system is not in production yet, but initial use has shown an inability to create a crystal report.
    If I select Crystal Reports Explorer in Business Objects Enterprise Applications, I get the following error:
    "You do not have the correct keycode installed to use this option. Please contact your support office for further details."
    I informed my boss who provided me with a "Crystal Reports Explorer Windows XI R2 License CPU English" keycode.
    I entered this keycode in the License keys correctly. The license reflects "BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Explorer" but does not show any licenses - just dashes for named users, concurrent users, processors, expires...
    I still get the same error when accessing the Crystal Reports Explorer.
    Am I missing something here? Is there more that I need to do, or is there a problem with the keycode?

    Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
    BI Platform
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

    Hello Noman,
    i dont know if there is someting available.
    I heared "rumors" that there are tools for converting Cognos Reports to BO reports. But you only get this assistance when you open a OSS Message. But i really dont know if this is true.
    Maybe you can raise an OSS Message at SAP to ask for assistance.
