Design Studio 1.2 with OLAP issue

HI All,
I have created a report with conditional formatting in Analysis for OLAP. I saved as a web application and open in Design Studio. Everything works fine. Chart is fine. Currently I am using the chart type as Column Combination - Dual Axis once I make change to the onclick event of the chart. Then columns changes to line chart . Not sure where this change is taking place.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Manju

Hi Patrick,
After uninstalling Design Studio and before re-installing it again did you try the following steps?:
1) Delete any remaining Analysis folders in the user directory such as:
C:\Users\<user>\Analysis-config
2) Make sure the Design Studio program folder has been completely deleted:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Design Studio
Regards,
Mustafa.

Connecting to BW system through VPN in Design Studio

Hi Experts,
I tried to connect to my client BW system through VPN and used the URL in my Design studio, but when I connect like that the Design Studio is working very slowly and hanging several times, If I connect to the same system via Lumira it is working fast.
Can you please suggest me what are the cautions I need to take when I connect to BW system via VPN to make my Design Studio work fast with out hanging several times on my local system.
Thank you,
Hari

Hello Hari
remember that Design Studio is a live connection and in Lumira you can use a BW offline connection which downloads the data.

Design Studio 1.3 - Concern

Hello Community,
With the release of Design studio 1.3 - the client expectation has gone up. There are few question that need to be addressed.
How feasible is Design Studio 1.3 over SAP Dashboard designer in adopting and in implementation ?
If the client is having only BW with them without any BI/BOBJ landscape in picture, can design studio 1.3 be a wiser choice over Dashboard designer? If Yes then why ?
In BW landscape what need to be done to get mobile access of design studio dashboard ?
Does Design studio support Data caching for offline report access and for faster report access - considering back-end as BW not running on SAP HANA ?
How complex is the coding with respect to custom development ?
Awaiting detailed answers.
Regards
Kumar

Kumar:
How feasible is Design Studio 1.3 over SAP Dashboard designer in adopting and in implementation ?
It depends on your requirements and needs. SAP has said many times this year if your data source is BW, HANA or a universe that Design Studio supports, start with Design Studio. Otherwise, per SAP, you have an automatic migration project.
Q: "If the client is having only BW with them without any BI/BOBJ landscape in picture, can design studio 1.3 be a wiser choice over Dashboard designer? If Yes then why ?"
A: How would they use Dashboard Designer in BW only? Where would they deploy? Not following.
See previous answer re: automatic migration project if you start with dashboarding on BW.
Q: In BW landscape what need to be done to get mobile access of design studio dashboard ?
A: BW only? Question came up at ASUG Annual Conference. In the SAP Enterprise portal there is a Design Studio iview and a portal mobility pack
Q: Does Design studio support Data caching for offline report access and for faster report access - considering back-end as BW not running on SAP HANA ?
A: It does not support offline today.
Q: How complex is coding?
A: I am not a coding expert, but I am able to apply SDK components. We heard customers at conference say they deploy without coding too. If you know JavaScript, you will be comfortable with Design Studio is what I have heard.

Design Studio - Dashboards/webi Mobile compatibilty

Dear friends,
I have got a requirement of deploying few webi reports and Dashboards in mobile devices which could be of IOS/Android/Windows. I got to know about design studio where in we can develop the dashboards and reports and deploy it to any mobile devices(Tablets/Phones). Can you please let me know about the feasibilty of this design studio in accordance with my requirement.
Ver - BO 4.1
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi GK,
Creating the dashboard which is mobile compatible is very much possible without using design studio. But if your looking for the futuristic then the answer is may be. SAP says that "Design Studio is the future of dashboarding for SAP". Please find the below links to get some fair idea on this.

Parameter Value passing issue to Web i report from Design Studio APP

Hi all,
I am trying to pass values to 2 parameters in a web I report called DIM1_REPORT and DIM2_REPORT. The values with space for example, Computer Sciences Corporation is getting passed as Computer\Sciences\Corporation Looks like the space is getting replaced with \ and as the values doesn't match the database values, no results are being retrieved. I tried using Convert.urlEncode function as well. But no luck still having same issue. Below is the URL,
"http://servername:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AWD5NloJ4rVKoi2Y8m89GY0"+
"&lsMDIM1_REPORT=" + GLOBAL_SCRIPTS_1.DIM1_FILTER_SCRIPT() +
"&lsMDIM2_REPORT=" + GLOBAL_SCRIPTS_1.DIM2_FILTER_SCRIPT()
Has any one faced this issue and have a solution for this? Appreciate any help on this
Thanks
Nithin

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for the response.
I tried to replace the \ with %20 using the following code
Convert.replaceAll(GLOBAL_SCRIPTS_1.DIM1_FILTER_SCRIPT(), "\ ", "%20");
But getting error in the script editor saying
I think \ is causing this issue. If I use any other character other than \ in search expression its not throwing any error in script editor. Any idea is \ considered as delimiter/break in design studio?
Any other way to fix this issue in design studio?
Thanks,
Nithin

Problems with changings within Design Studio Report published on BI Mobile App

Hello BI Mobile Experts,
At the moment we are setting up a prototyp for BI Mobile reporting with SAP Business Objects Mobile and the BI Mobile App.
We created a report with Design Studio and published this report without problems within the Mobile Category. This Report was displayed correctly on iPads we are working with.
This week we made some changings within the report (new Crosstab, changings within css file). Unfortunatelly this changings were not displayed within the Mobile App. When we run the report local on the desktop within Design Studio everything works fine and is displayed correctly. It seems like the iPad is caching the report and doesn't get the new definitions, because after uninstalling the complete app from the iPad and installing it again, the report is displayed correctly.
Does anybody of you have same issues and is knowing how to solve that?
Thank you and best regards,
Gerardo

Hi Emre
I recall when I installed DS on our BI 4.1 SP2 system, the Analysis Application Service is not added to the Adaptive Processing Server (APS) automatically, I had to manually include the service into the APS for it to work correctly.
To make the dashboards visible to the BI Mobile applications, you must assign the category "Mobile" to the dashboards.

Hello All,
Thanks for giving time for this thread. I have solved this issue. Actually when we create Feature Project by default all Pugins and Fregemets will be added to featured project(i guess in some eclipse version since SAP has not mentained any Note for this), we need to delete unnecessary plugins from the featured project. Just select all and right click and delete. Then again add SAP Sample SDK.
Even thought it will packaged properly and will create zip file and you will be able import it to the Design Studio but you cann't select and install it to the Plateform from Design Studio, make sure for this you have Unchecked Ckeckbox: Unpack the plug-in archive after the installation.
I think this will help.
Thanks

Combine Analysis with Design Studio

Greetings,
I know it's possible to export an Analsys Application from Analysis for OLAP. You can then open it in Design Studio to edit it.
However, is it possible to "embed" an analysis in Design Studio?
We would like to be able to swap the axis, drilldown, change the members, etc. and combine it with Design Studio layouts.
If not, is there anything on the roadmap? This is preventing us to move from Bex WAD 3.x...

Hi Nadim,
with Design Studio and the scripting you are able to add so much functionality within your dashboards that I don't see that big gap between these two applications.
For exampe: You can add a filter panel where you are not only able to set filter but additionaly chose which measures should be displayed and whether they will be added as columm or row.
So it is possible within Design Studio to swap axis, change the members and do (little) drilldown.
But for drilldown-functionality you will have to use scripting and it is indeed still not as good as in Analysis. So one of my wishes for a future release is to enhance the drilldown-functionality (without much scripting or using multiple data sources) like in Analysis.
But you are right, DS is a tool to consume the data, many of these functionalities to analyse data have to be scripted which is some effort for each dashboard and every used query.
Some more integrated analysis functionality would be great.
(Maybe a better solution than to "embed" an anaylisis?)
Nevertheless I would like to see some export/switch function to open a query in Analysis (for Office), too. You are able to integrate links to an external URL so why Design Studio is not able to add a link to the Analyis-Application?
I know that some customers want to see their data in Excel, they would really appreciate the possibility to press a button to jump directly to Analysis for further survey of their data.

Issues after upgrading design studio 1.3

Hi Experts,
We have upgraded design studio version from 1.2 to 1.3. Before upgradation our application was working fine and we didnt get any error. After upgradation, during runtime we are getting 2 errors and a warning. We are getting the following errors while clicking “Sales chart tab” and we couldnt find the cause of the errors.
During runtime, we are getting the below warning message for a text box. We are displaying aggregated value of a keyfigure (undelivered quantity) in a text box using onload function in application properties and the scripts are as below.
var Qaunt0 = DS_4.getDataAsString("006EIO21E0Q3UY91YLO5Y0ATQ", {});
TEXT_1.setText(Qaunt0);

I was facing the same issue and was able to fix with the following steps.
- Login into Web tier box as The Administrator or same user which was
used to install BIP Web tier
- Stop TomcatRun Repair of the Design Studio install (BIP AddOn)
- After install stop tomcat if it started, go to tomcat/work directory
and delete everythign there
- Run wdeploy tomcat7 deployallStart Tomcat and wait 10 minutes
Hope this works.

Cascading filters not working in Design Studio with Universe

Hi,
I am trying to create cascading filters in Design Studio 1.2.
I have one data source
DS_P2 which returns two measures:
(product code)
(investment code)
2 drop down boxes:
PRODUCTCODEDROPDOWN_2 (product code)
DROPDOWN_1 (investment code)
1 crosstab component (to display DS_P2)
Connecting to a BO Universe, Single Connection, relational SQL database
Script On Startup:
//To populate the product dropdown list & Set default value
PRODUCTCODEDROPDOWN_2.setItems(DS_P2.getMemberList("_Rd3rMcNtEeOlu9zFKasaVQ", MemberPresentation.EXTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 50,"All"));
PRODUCTCODEDROPDOWN_2.setSelectedValue("All");
//To populate the Investment dropdown list & set default value
DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_P2.getMemberList("_9HY_4cBvEeOMbdZh-4RtVw", MemberPresentation.EXTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 50, "All"));
DROPDOWN_1.setSelectedValue("All");
"On Select" script for PRODUCTCODEDROPDOWN
//Filter data set P2
DS_P2.setFilterExt("_Rd3rMcNtEeOlu9zFKasaVQ", PRODUCTCODEDROPDOWN_2.getSelectedValue());
//Re-populate the Investment dropdown list & set default value
DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_P2.getMemberList("_9HY_4cBvEeOMbdZh-4RtVw", MemberPresentation.EXTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 50, "All"));
DROPDOWN_1.setSelectedValue("All");
The image below shows that the second dropdown box is not filtering correctly based upon the selection made in the first drop down box, the second box should display list, E_CASHUP, E_GWROTH, E_STABLE, S_GROW_ACT,ZZZZZZ, P_BAL_IDX
Does any one know if there is a limitation to creating a cascading filter when using universes?
Am I doing something wrong?
ARRRGGGHHH any help appreciated

Penny,
You can try using SDK to achieve your goal.
I posted once a ComboBox example, i know it does not do what you want right now, but it could be a starting point.
ComboBox with custom items
Mike also has some great examples here.

Good Luck.

Performance related issues in design studio 1.2

Hi All,
Is there any best practices guide for development purpose in design studio?
I am facing performance issues when I increase the count of data sources (alias in my case) in my application merely from 2 to 3.
There is a considerable time lag in launching the application both locally and on the BI server.
My application is on HANA analytic views and going by its performance it should be fast.
Each and every data source I created contains not more that 1 or 2 dimensions and a single measure.
I am not able to understand why it is happening. Is it preferred to bring in all the data as one big data source? But in that case there is a limitation in selecting specific dimensions and measures for different components. Tool forces us to incorporate multiple data source alias!
Any views will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Tanisha

Have you tried using background processing when adding the 3rd data source? See How to set up Background Processing in Design Studio
Design Studio 1.3 is coming out in Q2 2014 where planned HANA native connectivity is coming - see Figure 2 BI2014 Design Studio 1.3 Planned Updates | SCN > sounds like that might help performance.

Design studio with BPC

Hello Experts,
How can I connect Design Studio with BPC cubes. I am Using DS version 1.3
I need to create Design studio with BPC data.
Gone through some documents but couldn't find out the way to do this.
Regards,
LKumar

Hi Kumar,
I have implemented a design studio on top of a BPC model by enabling the "use a source of data" in the BPC Admin website - it creates a multiprovider (name /CPMB/xxx) and we can then create bex queries on top of it with some limitations (no currency convertion by eg.).
Design studio is managing this query as a standard BEX query - Only to display data ...
Regards,
Thomas
PS: Please pay attention with multiple systems as BPC objects can have different names when transported (attributes). All references of BPC objects in Design studio would be then incorrect.
