Don't worry for that message. It is normal.
You can use getdate().
Now, for WebI, I guess you want to use it with any other table don't you? You can add this CurrentDate object in any query you want instead of using it in an empty query.
If you don't like this approach then use WebI's CurrentDate function.

DECODE SQL Function - Parsing error in Defining Objects in Universe Designe

Hi,
I have created a class and an object in BO XI R3 Universe designer.
I am getting the parsing error while defining the object when using the custom SQL as
select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu
The object Type is "character", i have tried with Long Text, Number, Date as well and the same sql works fine by returning String values through TOAD.
Do we have any constrains in using DECODE in BO XI R3 or any other syntax please....
Please guide me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,
1.At back end check the data type for matteraction column and define it accordingly in object definition.
2. Try to break your select clause definition into smaller parts and check it where the exact issue is as below
i.select decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019) ............
ii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE') ..........
iii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu

Creating objects in BO universe designer

Hi All,
I have designed a universe on the top of BEx Query. I want to create additional objects at Universe Level.
I am able to create objects in the Universe and they gets parsed, but when I pulled the same objects in the report query it generates a MDX error.
Even a simple <Expression> @select(Key Figures\Actual) </Expression>is not working
Please provide me some pointers for creating the objects.

Hi Didier,
I am creating objects in OLAP universe only.
I am using BO XI 3.1 with SAP Integration Kit installed on my system.
I am not able write any expression in the objects being created at universe level. Any expression, I write gives me the error while running the query while the object gets parsed at universe level.
for @Select() I am using the same as you write?
One more doubt what shuould be parameters of @Select()?
Technical Definition (Generated in the select clause) or Display Name (Class name\object Name)
If I am writing the definition as @Select([Measures].[000054728]) Then the object defition gets parsed but if I am writing it as @Select(Key Figures\Actual) then the object doesn't get parsed in the universe.
I guess I have read somewhere that we can use "@Select(Key Figures\Actual)' while writing the expressions. Please correct if I am wrong.
Regards,
Rohit

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.
Regards,
Didier

Ascending Order of Objects at universe Level

Hi Techies.
I am working on BO 3.1 Designer SP5.
I have one Period (Month Year) object at universe level and I have arranged the order of object as Descending by editing the properties of the object.
and when I use this object in the Query Filter section and making it as a Mandatory prompt, the values are loading in a different way rather than descending order.
Please help me on this......

Hi
If you want to sort the LOV’s, use the LOV’s based on custom SQL option.
Please find the below sample code.

Error when using defined object in Universe in Web Intelligence

Hi all
I create universe connect from Infocube
I create a new Object named "Sale Value" to get YTD of Object name "SS Total value of the invoice lin" with code following
<EXPRESSION>SUM(YTD(@Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line)))</EXPRESSION>
I parse to check systax "OK".
But when I run query and using above defined object in Web Intelligence, I get error following
<<

I check MDX PARSER connection in SM59 sucessfull
I am beginer of Universe and Web Intelligence, please help me solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
The MDX parser in the universe designer just check the XML Tags or Syntax. It does not validate the expression.
The YTD, QTD, MTD functions in the universe designer requires a reference to a predefined time chararcteristics eg. 0CALMONTH etc. So the correct expression would be similar to the below expression:
<EXPRESSION> SUM(YTD([0CALMONTH].CurrentMember), @Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line))</EXPRESSION>
Also you need to add the time characteristics in the result set.

Error when setting up connection from Universe Designer to Oracle database

Hello,
I am attempting to create a connection to an Oracle 10 database in Universe Designer. I am currently running Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a 32 bit machine. I have the Oracle client installed. In Universe Designer when I attempt to create a new connection using the Oracle 10 client I receive the following error.
CS:DBDriver failed to load : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found.)
The dbd_oci.dll file does exist in the directory listed above. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Brock,
Do you have multiple SQL clients installed on your system? If so, uninstall the previous versions. Check if the PATH variable is set to correct bin path and then try testing it again.

What is the syntax for the mdx offset in universe designer?

Hi everybody!!!
I wish someone could help me with my mdx syntax. I made an universe with Universe designer (BOEdge 3.1) from a BW query and I'm trying to create in this universe an object with an offset.
My new object has to be the result of the [0CALYEAR].[LEVEL01] with "- 1" offset, is it possible???
I tried to put the code in the select or in the where fields of the object but without results. When I try to make a query in webi rich client this "new object" doesn't work...
Please help me...
Dario

Hi Ingo,
thank you for the reply.
I tried to use that document...the problem is when I put the code in the object (inside univ des) and I analyse the code using the button, the syntax is every time without errors. When I try to make the query in webi rich client , if I use that object the software shows a window with error.
I used these code in the "where" field:
1. <EXPRESSION>@SELECT([0CALYEAR].[LEVEL01])-1</EXPRESSION>
2. <EXPRESSION>@SELECT(Anno calendario\L01 Anno calendario)-1</EXPRESSION>
the problem is to find the right syntax for what I want...the -1 offset for the new object from the OCALYEAR. I need that if in webi I select from the object filter [0CALYEAR].[LEVEL01] the value 2010 - in the new object will be 2009 etc...

Universe Design Best Practices for Oracle

Hello All,
We recently moved from XIR2 on MS SQL 2005 to XI 3.1 on Oracle. This has been a difficult move for us as my team is new to oracle. I'm currently working on several performance issues between BOBJ and Oracle and am looking for documentation on best practices for universe design with oracle. I've foudn tidbits here and there regrading using parameters joing_by_sql and boundary_weight_table, wondering if there are other options out there that might help. We have queries taking 45+ minutes to run and that is totally unacceptable.
thanks
Andrea

I am not sure if you are looking for Optimization or anything else. sorry for that following link might help you considering Oracle as DB.

Universe Designer: Error getting dimensions for cube

-Using Business Objects Edge 3.1 SP2
-SAP BW 7.0 (patch level 21)
This is quite odd behavior that seemed at first an authorization issue, but now I am uncertain.
-Attempting to create a Universe based on a Infocube.
-Universe connection is created with no problem using user 'ABC'
-Using Universe Designer on the BOBJ server, no issues creating the Universe
-Using Universe Designer on a users desktop, the Universe fails to create with error message:
A runtime exception has occurred. (Error getting dimensions for cube $0SD_C03 (catalog $INFOCUBE): Unknown error)
-Change the connection to use user 'DEF', the Universe creates just fine on the desktop
-Behavior is not exclusive to one BW object, happens no matter what 'ABC' tries to access from this desktop
So, at first I am thinking authorizations, but then the universe create would fail on the server as well. If it is environmental, what could possibly affect this behavior.
Any ideas before I submit to SAP Support?

Oddly enough it was an authorization issue.
When authenticating against the SAP source system from Universe Designer on either the workstation or server, both traces show a missing authorization for RFC_NAME = RASB
This setting is not found in referenced SAPu2019s guides or whitepapers under suggested authorizations for Universe create. What remains unexplained is why using the same credentials from 2 different computers had a different response.

As long as the table exist in Classes and objects tab, you can make use of the table but you will end up in cartician product if you use the column values from that table to other tables
