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.

  • 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.

  • No. of Connections needed for creating universes from SAP BEx Queries

    Hello,
    I have 8 SAP BEx queries, my task to create to universe for all of these queries. I have created a datasource connection, my question here is can I use the same connection for all the queries by changing datasource connection and selecting the new query or is it suggestable to create 8 datasource connections in universe designer??
    please let me know if you need any more info.
    Your reply is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Naresh

    HI,
    You need to create 8 connection for 8 BW queries.There is  one to one mapping in the universe.If you change the existing connection source then it will not work for earlier query.
    Other thing you can check like you have 8 queries then instead of creating 8 universe if possible then merge some queries in the single bw query and then create universe.
    Thanks,

  • Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

    Dear Experts,
    I'm new to OLAP universes.
    We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling  for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
    We require a calmonth (time dimension) object  (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table.  User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
    Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
    Thanks
    Akshara

    Hi Henry,
    Thank  you for your response.
    BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
    Regarding reporting requirements,  User wants to have adhoc reporting  with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
    If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
    Thanks
    Akshara.

    Total, HPC, FDS excel ICe etc are as Structure elements and coming as columns in query out put and
    Invoice value, Gross sale value, Efficient operations etc are as Key figure elements in query and coming as rows in query out put.
    But if I map this query to visual composer table view all these are coming as columns as given below.
    Total Invoice value ,             Total Gross sale value,    Total Efficient operations,      HPC Invoice vale,.........
    And if execute the query will giving the out put in single row.
    Can anybody help me out to map this in the row column format?

    Hi,
    Try to use some function module which will convert query data into flat tables. (eg., RS_VC_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA_FLAT).
    Hope this solves your issue.

  • Error while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query

    The following error is coming while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query (on ODS) when the Characters are more than 50.

    Hi,
    That warning / error message will be coming from the MDX interface on the BW server.  It does not originate from BOBJ.
    This question would be better asked to support component BW-BEX-OT-MDX

  • Merging data from SAP BEx queries with SQL - Keys are details not Dimension

    I have a challenge when trying to merge data from a BEx query and a relational source in SQL Server.
    I have a characteristic for Material, with an associated Material key that is a attribute of Material in the BEx query.  On the SQL side I have a Material ID which is they unique identifier.
    So when you Merge Dimensions in a WebI report, it is exactly that merging dimensions,  so you link Material from BEx and Material ID from SQL.   However, on the Bex side Material displays a long text field which will never join to the data from SQL which is an ID.  The like for like objects are Material Key in BEx and Material ID in SQL, however, as Material Key from BEx is an attribute to manifests itself in WebI via a universe as a Detail object, which makes it unavailable for merging.
    I have tried to set the Material characteristic to display as KEY in the BEx query design, but alas it still comes through as a long text, hence still not able to merge data sets.
    Any workarounds ??
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    In universe designer, edit the material key detail object. Copy the text that refers to the characteristic attribute in your BEx query. Create a new dimension (say, 'Material Key') and paste this text as the definition.
    Essentially you're turning a detail object into a dimension, which (in my limited experience) works just fine.
    Let me know how you go.

  • How to design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries

    Hi Team,
                  I would like to know some of the queries :
    1.How can you design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries in the sense which gives you more performance
    2.What are the differences between Non SAP sources like Oracle,SQL and SAP sources in designing the Universe.
    3.Can we create a Derived table from an SAP source because i know that the Schema is not created for BEx queries,cubes.
    4.What are the advantages of having oracle as a source then SAP source.
    Can you please elobarate the above queries.
    Regards,
    Pradeep P.

    Hi,
    1. Check Ingos Blog on SDN ther are some PDF for performance regarding WebI on BW
    2. On RDBMS Source you have to design your universe. On OLAP Source like BW you generate the Universe and cant customize it a lot.
    4. Good question. In a BW all your logic is already in place. On a RDBMS you have to build your logic in a universe. But there are a lot of differences.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • 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.
