Database Access to Web Analysis Users

Hi,
I am working on a planning application on EPM 11.1.1.3. I have assigned access to users to the Web forms, business rules, dimension members etc. The access is properly applied to all users when they login to the planning application.
However, none of the security filters are applicable to the Web Analysis reports when the same users login with their ID's in Web Analysis.
1. For example, the user can see all members in the 'Entity' dimension drop-down box in the report. What can I do to apply dimension member access to the reports also?
2. Secondly, when a non-admin user opens a web analysis report, it prompts for a username and password to connect to the database. Only when I specify the admin username and password, the user can view the data. If I enter the user's own username and password, no data is displayed on the report. Can anybody guide me as to how I should allow database access to non-admin users.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Sahil

1. While users see all dimension members under Entity, do they see the data for them?
- one way to reduce the amount of members users see is to use Meta-read filters - although meta-read filters cannot be used with write filters.
2. Normally when users open up a WA report, the report defaults to the highest level - so total entity.
- one way to have users see their data is to use User POV - although this requires users to set up their POV per data source under preferences (but only once).
Hope this helps, cheers, Iain

IPC Pricing with AP 7.00 Database Access/Call function module user-exit

Hi experts,
we are running SAP ECO on SAP ECC 6.0 with IPC Pricing AP 7.00 running in the VMC.
I'm facing a new requirement. In an user-exit for requirements the access to the ABAP database is needed.
(I know that the SAP recommendation is, don't have access to database. But we need this functionality)
In ABAP it looks like:
select single * from a590
      into     LH_674_a590
      where    kappl = 'V'
      and      kschl = 'ZSPR'
      and      kunnr = komk-kunnr
      and      matnr = komp-matnr
      and      datbi >= komk-prsdt
      and      datab =< komk-prsdt.
Is there a possibility to implement the same SELECT in the Java-User-Exit?
Is there maybe the alternative to call a function module instead?
The database exits on the same application server on which the VMC runs.
If there is a possiblity can anyone provide me with sample coding or give an advice where to find samle coding?
I would prefer to call a functions module.
Thanks in adcance

Hi Shanto & Sumit,
Thanks for the inputs.
as per my understanding of the log
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: com.sap.leasing.pricing.tools.LeasingPricingTools: method getPricingConditionByConditionTypeName(Lcom/sap/spe/pricing/transactiondata/userexit/IPricingItemUserExit;Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/sap/spe/pricing/transa ctiondata/IPricingCondition; used to be stati
error is thrown by the SAP standard user exit and because of which execution is failing in customer user exits and surprisingly we have not made any changes in both of them.
this was working earlier before upload.could this be because of the jar packaging.
how i can download the standard user exit com.sap.leasing.pricing.tools.LeasingPricingTools from crm
for further investigation.
Thanks,

Database Access from Web Center Portal Application

Hi,
I have a requirement to store user preferences in database. These preferences will be fetched at the time of user login and page will be rendered accordingly.
I was just wondering should I use Entity objects/view object for DB interaction or should I go for eclipselink.
Please guide which will be the best way keeping performance, maintenance stuff in mind.
Thanks,
VN

I am sorry I missed the environment details.
I am building oracle webcenter application using ADF framework.
I cannot use MDS as my user preferences requirements are as follows
1.Save a certain tab as preferred on a certain page.
2.Bookmark a product as favorite (Product list will be displayed as dynamic content fetched from UCM)
3.Make a certain page as home page
I did some R&D and concluded that these features cannot be implemented without customization (please correct and guide if I am wrong)
Now I have a custom solution where we will save user prefs in custom DB.
Coming back to the original question - I need to do some light DB interactions and I am wondering if I can use entity /view object to fetch and update date in DB. Or this is not recommended for such a small degree of DB interaction and I should go for Eclipse link.
Hope it gives more clarity.
Please help.
Thanks,
VN

General users can't open web analysis reports as html

Hi guys,
I am facing an issue about Web Analysis. When I use the version pre-9, I can access web analysis directly with html client or java client.Then I set each user with each POV. Now I am using EPM11.1.1.3, I can just access web analysis by workspace.Then if I would like to access java client, I click Tools->links->web analysis studio. While I access html client by clicking explore in the workspace toolbar. However, if the user doesn't belong to admin group, I can't find the explore toolbar. Then I can't access html client. As we know, not all web analysis users should be admin users. This issue puzzles me very much. Is there someone who can give some good suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Hi, you don't mention what roles you have assigned to the current users (except Admin), which as you stated isn't a good idea ;-)
You need to add Analyst & Explorer roles for your users.
Check out the full list of roles in Appendix A under the Reporting and Analysis section, in the Security Admin Guide (epm_security.pdf)

Web Analysis Reports using a Relational Database

I would like to create a Web Analysis report using data from an Oracle database. From Web Analysis, I try to create a new database connection. I select Oracle as the Driver type. In the Database Connection String field, I replace {HOST-NAME} with the Host information from the TNSNAMES.ORA file. I've confirmed the Port number is correct. When I test the connection, it fails. What am I missing? The format of the Database Connection String that is defaulting into the field is:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@{HOST-NAME}:1521:ORCL
Is there anything else I need to include besides the Host name and Port number, for example, do I need to include the SID?
Thanks.

The ojdbc14.jar currently exists in the following directories:
bea\weblogic81\server\lib
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
There is a ojdbc14_g.jar that exists in:
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\10g
bea\weblogic81\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\920
The classes12.jar file exists in:
oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\oui\jlib
So from your response, I assume I need to copy classes12.jar to a directory under bea\weblogic81?
Thanks.

The user needs the 'Explorer' role to see the 'Explore' button. The user does not need admin privs for this.
To access Web Analysis Studio directly, go to http://<server-name>:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp or http://<server-name>:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp.

"Year To Date" feature in Web Analysis.

Dears,
I need to retrieve "YearToDate" data from Essbase into a Web Analysis report such as I select a specified month from a drop down list and it displays the data till the selected month. I couldn't find any topic related to "YTD" in Web Analysis user guide. Does WA support this feature?
Thanks & Regards,
Ahmad.

Hi KKT,
I 'm connecting to BSO application through "Analytic services" database connection. After enabling DTS, how can I select YTD in member selection in WA?
Hi Nowshad,
I didn't get your point. How can I select YTD in member selection in Excel addin?
Thanks alot.

Do I need install web analysis on client machine?

I have installed web analysis in the server, to let the user to access web analysis, should I also install web analysis in the user's machine, or just let them access the web analysis URL, http//hostname:16000/webanalysis ?

They should really access through the workspace port :- http://hostname:19000/workspace/index.jsp login and then access WebAnalysis via workspace
or http://hostname:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp
It should automatically download the java client if the user does not have it installed.
If a JRE is not installed it should deliver jre-1_5_0_17-windows-i586-p.exe
Cheers

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the advise but I have looked into your possible solution and referred to the Web Analysis user guide. I have a number of reports and when selecting the Design for HTML option - a number of objects are valid and should be displayed in the workspace.
After creating reports from scratch - with valid objects - the problem still persists.
Unfortunately, I don't think this provides a solution to the problem.

Newbie Database Access Question

I am familiar with SQL and database access from web programming, but have never done these things from within a Java application. My google searching has been fruitless thus far, so I'd appreciate any references to beginner's guides about how to query databases from a Java app and manipulate the resulting recordsets. Anything on Access db's would be ideal.
TIA,
John

Thanks for the reference. I have a question about this section of the tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
Under the section "Loading the Drivers" is the following paragraph:
Loading the driver or drivers you want to use is very simple and involves just one line of code. If, for example, you want to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver, the following code will load it:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Your driver documentation will give you the class name to use. For instance, if the class name is jdbc.DriverXYZ , you would load the driver with the following line of code:
Class.forName("jdbc.DriverXYZ");My question is: How do I decide which driver I need for connecting to an Access db on a Win XP machine? Is there perhaps another reference which answers these kinds of questions?
Thanks again,
John

Access from WebI/ Universe to SAP Query with user who has analysis authenti

Hello together,
I try to run and build a WebI report which is build on a universe based on SAP BW query. The user has restricted access to the data provider on which the SAP query is build. This restriction is based on analysis authentification (SAP BI 7.0) if I start the SAP query in BW the user has only restricted access to the data in the data provider (on which the SAP query is build). If I start the WebI report the user has full access to the data. I checked the authentification and in my opinion there is no other authentification in SAP BW which extends the restrictions.
Has anyone an idea why the authentification doesn't work?
Greetings Janine

Hey here,
I m creaing my universe on top of Infocube or multiprovider.
>> The recommendation path is to use BW queries with the necessary Authorization Variables leveraging your BI Authorizations.
For eg:
I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
>> This is part of BI Authorizations in BW.
Here are my queries:
1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
>> assuming you follow the 2 steps mentioned above (Query and authorization variables) - yes
If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
>> Data level security is part of your BI authorizations in BW.
In a nutshell, BO alone can't do that, one has to set up at BI level.
Hope clarified all your doubts.
Gracias...!!

Does any one have idea about how to change database properties for a report.
Thanks,
