Copy a Webi Report tab

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a function to copy a complete report tab using the webi SDK.
A searched for it but couldn't find such a function.
Many thanks

Hi David,
From what I think you are saying, you want to copy an entire report, query, objects, variables and all into another already existing report? I don't think that is possible.
Maybe in 4.0? I don't know. Anybody know?
Thanks

Blank page coming in the Webi Report in a particular tab

Hi,
i have a webi report which uses a two Cross tabs.and it is sectioned by 'Business Segment' object. and 'Group name' object has been used to group the data in each cross tab.it has multiple tabs in the report each named same as the group name used in the cross tab.
so now when i export the report into the PDF document one of the tabs is having a blank page (i.e 2nd page is a blank page off the 4 pages it has). i am using XI R 3 version.
so please suggest me what formatting changes to be done for that particular tab(s) to remove the blank page off the 4 pages.
Immediate suggestion is very helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion.however i checked all the cells. everything is well fitted.one more thing is that similar kind of data is visible in other tabs without any issues. so it is happening only in a particular tab.
Any other advanced settings to do to avoid the blank pages in between the PDF document?
Regards,
Kishore.

Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

can we generate one report tab which filters
with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

Hi Shrinidhi ,
It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

How to achieve Tab level security in a WEBI report?

hi,
I have 2 tabs in a single Webi XI R3 report. This report should be viewed by 2 users with the following conditions.
1st Tab should be seen by only User #1. (Tab 2 should be disabled)
2nd Tab should be seen by only User #2. (Tab 1 should be disabled)
How can we achieve this?
Regards,
Vamsee

It is not possible to provide security on a report tab, only the document itself. Making it a requirement doesn't change the features of the product.
If the two tabs are showing data in different formats, then using two different reports is the way to go. If the report tabs are showing the same format but different data (content) then you can apply filters or security rules in the universe itself to restrict data to what User 1 and User 2 are allowed to see.

Getting subreport (tab) of a Webi report

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way (with Web Services SDK or/and with Business Objects Enterprise SDK) to refresh a tab (subreport) of a Webi report and to download it.
I'm knowing how to refresh and download a webi report already but I do not find a way to only get a subreport :s Using DocumentInformation or other? A special query?

So we loose a feature by updating the BO from 3.1 to 4.0?
Here is the way we use today with the 3.1 (but who will be obsolete with the API 4.0 because reportEngine becomes obsolete) :
ViewSupport oViewSupport = new ViewSupport();
setOutputType(oViewSupport, outputType);
RetrieveBinaryView oRetrieveBinaryView = new RetrieveBinaryView();
oViewSupport.setViewType(ViewType.BINARY);
NavigateToPath getRep = null;
oViewSupport.setViewMode(ViewModeType.REPORT);
getRep = new NavigateToPath();
getRep.setPath(tab);
oRetrieveBinaryView.setViewSupport(oViewSupport);
oRetrieveData.setRetrieveView(oRetrieveBinaryView);
DocumentInformation oDocinfo = oReportEngine.getDocumentInformation(repID, null, oActions, getRep, oRetrieveData);

How to hide report tabs in webi using opendoc?

How to hide a report tabs in webi while accessing that report using OpenDoc??
Is there a way to see just the sReportName selected without show the other
report tab in the bottom of the document??

Hi,
As Mention By SUBBARAO MUCHERLA Either create 2 Different Reports.
Or
You can do one thing .
Add Complete Report in a Blank section .
Section (v_sec_All ="All")
   --Part1   //Table
   --Part2   // Chart
   --Part3   //Chart 2
   --Part n
Use this section(v_sec_All) in Linking Report Part .

How to add Tabs and List Boxes in Webi Report in Reporting Area(Not Report Filters & Input Controls)

Hi All,
I have a requirement to use some components called List Box and Tabs in my WebI report for presenting the information by dynamic dimension and measure selection using list box and segregate information by using Tabs as in below image.
Image was prepared in MSPaint not executable webi report.
Is it possible to integrate the list box and tabs into Report Zone in BO Webi? as show in below image?
Thanks in Advance
Muralidhar Reddy N

Hello Muralidhar Reddy,
The exact tool for your requirement is SAP BO Dashboard or SAP BO Design studio. WebI is a tool for ad-hoc reporting tool and we have limited functionalities to make dashboards using webI. You can have all those chart options in WebI and you can use Input controls or drill filters for restricting data. But you cannot have these selection components in reporting area. Tabs as shown in above post, you can have in bottom of the report.
find below a good example of dashboard using WebI

hope it helps

Web rich client -- report tabs missing in edit mode

Hello,
A report was created in web Rich client and then was exported in the BO repository. In view mode, we
see all tabs, but in edit mode,only two tabs are displayed.
any idea please?
Thanks a lot.

hi,
I also faced the same issue.
I could replicate the issue suceessfully on a consistent basis.
STEPS to replicate the issue
1.     Create a new webi report using Island Resorts Marketing Universe
2.     Query Panel Objects
a.     Country, Resort, Service, Number of guests
3.     Run query (Tab 1 is created automatically)
a.     Report 1 u2013 Table containing above objects
4.     Right Click Report 1 - >Insert Report -> rename it to u2018Crosstabu2019
5.     Move the report tab to Left such that Crosstab appears as first tab
6.     Drag Crosstab from Templates.
a.     Pull Country and Resort objects as rows to Crosstab
b.     Pull Service as Column to Crosstab
c.     Pull Number of guests as measure to Crosstab
7.     Select Country -> Insert Break
8.     Select Resort -> Insert Break
9.     Select Resort First and Country Second -> Click on Merge Cells button
10.     Select No
11.     Now again click on Merge Cells button
12.     Select Yes this time.
13.     Save the report.
14.     View the report from Infoview. You will see both tabs
15.     Edit the report. (You cannot edit the second tab - Report 1. Edit the first tab u2018Crosstabu2019)
16.     only one tab is visible. Other tab u2018Report 1u2019 is missing.
Observations:
Report Footer appears as the top section in Map -> Structure
So my conclusion is when a reverse merge is applied on Crosstab with breaks, this issue occurs.
But i don't know how to recover the tabs in Edit mode.
Please let me know how to recover the missed tabs in Edit Mode. Also let me know the other scenarios which might lead to the same issue.

How to open hyperlink(target Webi report) in new tab in BOXI3.1

Hi all,
Currently we are using report link using hyperlink syntax between summary report and transaction report.
We were able to open transaction report either new window or same window.
*"<a href="http://<servername>:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid;iDocID=108&sWindow=New&lsSEnterJOBID:="UserResponse([Query 1];"Enter JOBID:")"&lsSEnterAccount:="URLEncode([Account]) ">"[Description]"</a> * "
Summary report(Source report) is having one parameter: JOBID
Transaction report(Target report) is has two parameters: JOBID and Account
Now our client requirement is target report needs to be shown in same window but in new tab.
Is it posssible in BOXI3.1,if yes kindly provide me syntax.
Thanks in advance,
Subash

How to create report tabs in webi report

How to create report tabs in WebIntelligence report in BO XIR2 through .net sdku2019s?

ReportEngine.NET (RE.NET) SDK does not have report creation/modification functionality.
ReportEngine Java (REBean) does, and you're able to add a Report (and thus a Report Tab) with it.

Unable to change the background color of a webi report in the infoview

Hi,
Can someone please me help me with the below issue.
Environment Details:
BusinessObjects XI3.1 SP1SP2SP3
BusinessObjects XIR2 SP5
.Net infoview
IE 7
JRE versions used as;
On BOXI3.1 SP3 Server -1.6.0_03
On BOXIR2 SP5 Server -1.4.2_02
On the client machine   -1.6.0_14
Issue Description:
-Open an existing webi report in the infoview.
-In the report,I am not able to change the background and the font color for the column headings from the properties tab in the left navigation panel.
-I can change the color after hitting the color tab for multiple times.Also the color was getting changed when the color code was manually changed.
-The reports background color was getting changed,but not the font color.
-I tried to create a test report,where I was able to change the color.
I have;
-Installed the Java update 14 on BOXI3.1 server machine,here I was able to change the background and font color.
-However on the client machine,with the same Java update 14,the background and the font color for the column headings was not getting changed.
-Same behaviour is observed on BOE XIR2 SP5 machine.
Is there any limitations for using Java update 14 or am I required to do any other settings.
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
It is a strange behavior. You also stated that when you create a test report it works fine.
Can you create a copy of this report and then try on the new copy?
One thing you can do as a test to refresh the universe and then try it. And change some columns - add some column and then save and ten remove and save and make changes like this and trying changing color.
I think there is a problem with this report this is why it is behaving like this on all machine.

Bashir Awan
