Laxmi.

Hi Laxmi,
It can be done by two ways using URL of the query and displaying the query, and using the technical name of the query and assigning to different rooms in the portal. Then schedule the query which automatically generate queries similar to process chain loading timely based.

Unable to run a report through Portal.

Hi All,
I am not able to run a particular BEX report through portal.
I get a white screen and no pop-up for selections and later nothing happens.
I have checked my Roles but no changes has been made.
My other colleagues are able to run the report.
Please let me know what could be the possible reason/solution for such an issue.

are different roles assigned?
i.e., for you and for your colleagues. Please try login with your id in their PCs and vice versa.
let check the compatibility. if you are failed to execute in that PCs also, then it should be authorization issue. Ask your basis folks to add that particular info area and info cubes to your role.
Hope this would give you clear pic.

Discoverer viewer in portal or Drill to detail in Disco report in Portal

Hi
Is it possible to embed discoverer viewer into Portal page. I know one way, I can achieve this in older versions by using <IFRAME src="worksheet url"></iframe> as HTML portlet. But, the problem here is that, our Discoverer viewer is SSO protected. So,I don't want user to single sign on again, as they have already have done that when they got into portal.
My second question is , I have developed Page-Detail report in Disco plus, also I have Drill to Detail in the same report. Drill to Detail is created using "Manage Link" option. When I deploy this report into Portal using Disco Portlet provider, firstly in portal it is not showing the Page Item, also the Drill through link also is not showing.
Any help on the above questions would be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi
Firstly thank you very much for your response.
The Disco report I have is a Discoverer Plus report with Drill to Detail to another workbook(developed through manage link). But this Drillable link is not showing in the published Disco portlet. Are you saying that it should in the published disco portlet? .. As posted in previous response , I know this would work from Analyze link(which basically lauches viewer)..
But users would like to see this drillable link in the report in portal page itself(which means on the published portlet itself). To achieve this only, I used Iframes in Html portlet and showing the Discoverer viewer url. It works fine, but only thing is each time user naviges to portal page, it executes the report which takes some time. I am trying to avoid the execution process. I think one solution is I can just schdule these Disco reports and that way it will not query the database each time. I was wondering if there is any other solution maybe I am missing
Thanks

BW report on portal - different settings than in BEx

Hi gurus,
I would like to ask you if it is possible to have different setting for BW report in portal than in BEx. Is there some content management feature which allows for example to have resultr rows for a characteristic in Portal and to not have result rows displayed in Bex for the same report?
Thank you,
Michal

Hello Michal,
I'm not particularly aware if there's an actual content parameter / feature to achieve what you want (unless, somebody can prove me wrong ofc) - portal side. If you look at the architecture of BW reports in Portal, it remotely access the backend via the query paramater in the iview and to BI-Java (load doesn't happen in ABAP stack anymore but in JAVA) for processing and then displays it on the front-end.
Key point is, if the report's not processed/generated on the portal but in BI-JAVA, then configuring the report to display as you wish via content manager in portal would be a new one that I have yet to encounter.
Just a little backgrounder. Hope another SDN user could answer your point directly.
Goodluck.
Regards,
Jan

Issues with BEx Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello Experts,
I am facing issues with BEx reports integrated in portal. Below are more details:
Scenario 1:
Execute a BEx report in the portal, save it in 'My Portfolio' using 'Save As' button. Now open the saved report from 'My Portfolio'. Below is the issue for this scenario:
When I open the saved report, I get 2 error messages and 1 info message at the top of the report. They are as follows:
The metadata of 'ITE' 'TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS' are incorrect for parameter 'COMMAND_PROCESSING'
The metadata of 'ITE' 'FILTER_PANE_ITEM' are incorrect for parameter 'TEXT_WRAPPING'
Variables for characteristic Fiscal year/period[0FISCPER] cannot be processed
Scenario 2:
Execute a BEx report in the portal, save it in 'BEx Portfolio' or 'Favourites' using 'Save As' button. Now open the saved report and click on 'Send' button. As expected, the BEx broadcaster wizard should appear but, it shows '400 BAD HTTP REQUEST'. While if I open the report (not the saved one) and click on 'Send' button, it works.
Helpful pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Vikash

HI Suman,
I am not adding the report to favourite using browser favourite. Below is the flow:
Run the report in portal.
There is a 'Save As' button at the top of the report. When I click that button, I get a pop-up with 3 tabs for saving the report.:
Favourite
BEx Portfolio
My Portfolio
save the report in the favorites or BEx portfolio tab and then open it and press 'Send' button
BEx Broadcaster Wizard should appear but instead of that, it shows '400 BAD HTTP REQUEST'.
If I press send for unsaved report, then BEx broadcaster Wizard is shown.
Thanks,
Vikash

Run Time Errors in BEx Report Designer?....asking for Portal Setup??

In BEx Report Designer, I keep getting short dumps and timeouts when trying to design flashy reports.
I keep getting 2 errors when I time out:
1. 'Query (view) definition cannot be retrieved from Portal.
Please try again or check query and Portal Setup!
Time limit exceeded.
2. xxx Error when reading Query (via BICS)
Please check query and Portal setup!
Time limit exceeded.
We are running ECC 6.0, BI2004s, and SEM 6.0. All in Sandbox/Dev environment.
We are NOT running EP.
I am aware that we have some memory issues, and we're adding 4Gb more on Thursday....can the solution be that simple, or are these errors telling me we need Portals installed? I was under the impression that Portals were NOT required for 2004s, so long as you did not use WAD etc.
Any thoughts??

You would need to install portals(EP) for the report designer to work. When you design your flashy report in designer and try it launch it... it would try to connect to EP to publish it. It bombs when it doesnt find the portal.
On a personal note: Report designer have a long way to go when you think the output would be something like crystal .. NO not yet ... But SAP just got started ... I think they would be there pretty soon. And they promise many enhancements as of SP 13.. so lets all wait.

Need for Portal to support BEx Report (Excel based) in BI7.0

Experts,
We are on BW 3.5 version and upgrading to BI7.0. We have all the reports so far is Excel Based (no web reporting). Do we need to have portal implemented for our BW report to run after upgrading to BI 7.0? In other words, is Portal mendatory to have to run any BEx Report in BI 7.0 invironment? Thanks.
NP

Hello Nimesh,
No, in BI7.0 BEx Analyzer is still supported. Portal is used only for web reports and if needed these web reports can be exported to excel or pdf. It is not mandaory to have portal to see BEx reports.
Thanks

BeX: Select option for the variable of the report in Portals

Hi Gurus,
In the variable selection screen of the BW reports, I have 'Employee Number' field tab. I have some 3000-4000 employee numbers in a file daily. Generally, I use the option "upload from a file/clipboard" in the multiple selection dialog box that you get after clicking the "more" button.
But the users report only in the Portals, where this option is not available. They do not want to use BeX reporting rather.
what should be done to achieve the same functionality in Portals ?
Any solutions or hints please....?
Points will be awarded.....
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Suresh,
Those values may not be assigned (OM,OS) to your profile , aas that vriable is Authorisation Process type , i belive u have to be assigned to them,
I hope it helps

Header and Footer in a BEx report

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement where I need to provide a space for the user to sign-off with their name and signature at the bottom of the print-out of a BEx report. For this purpose I need to provide a space at the bottom of the report where the user can write their names and sign-off. It should be something like:
Name: _________________________________-
Signature: _______________________________
Date: ___________________________________
Is there some way I can add all this as the footer text in the BEx query?
Thanks,
Ram

If the BEx query can use a "structure" in the rows section....
Under last row, add a selection = company code, set it not equal to the company code, & change the description =
NAME: ____________________________________________
Then, copy the above row, but change description to =
SIGNATURE: _____________________________________
Repeat, copy the above row, change description =
DATE: ____________________________________
If you want to add blank lines, copy one of these rows, but change description = a period = .
By setting the restriction <> to the real company code, then that row should be blank straight across, except for the description.
A better/more professional looking option is to put the BEx query into a web template, add 3 HTML rows under the query result table, add text per your specs. Then save web template to the appropriate role/folder to publish it on the portal.

Creating Chart in BeX Report

I have few questions regarding creating Chart in BW Report. One thing I need to make it clear it's a simple BeX Report not a WAD report.
(1) How should I create a chart in the Report?? Should I have to create it in the Excel Sheet once I run the report?
(2) Do I need to create the chart everytime manually once I run the report or is there any way we can save it and everytime we open the Report it should display the chart automatically !!
(3) When users drill up/ drill down or group data in different views, the Chart should be dynamically changed follow the change in data set. Is it possible to do that??
Thanks,

hi,

Running reports in Portal- URL vs RDF

I've got a content area in portal 3.0.8 which contains two items-- a URL link to my report, and an Application Component which is the same report registered in portal as an RDF. The report runs fine with the URL link, but hangs when I try to run the RDF component.
My URL link is defined as follows: http://greap004:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=reportserver+report=reportname.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=htmlcss+userid=username/password@DBname+paramform=yes
However, the registered RDF does not prompt for a DB login or bring up the parameter form. It just hangs for about 5 minutes and then returns the following error:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time. Oracle Reports CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.
I want to be able to register reports as RDF's rather than using URL links.

hello,
you should take a look at our whitepapers in the Internet Deployment and Security section of our product area http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports
there you find a walkthrough of the configuration for running registered reports in portal.
