Design Studio Crosstab - Limitation?

Hello All,
Below is a summary of issue I'm facing at a customer location.
Design Studio CrossTab :
Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4
north
100
120
130
142
south
123
176
132
123
east
130
187
154
134
west
132
133
189
134
I'm currently working at a customer place on a dashboard requirement and found this gap in requirement for crosstab.
Would really appreciate if anyone can point me towards a workaround to achieve this.
Consider the above sample cross tab which shows regional sales by quarter.
It is required to be able to click on any of the numbers and go to a detailed report for those two dimensions : EG : click on 100 and open detailed report for NORTH/Q1.
We plan to achieve this by using design studio for first page and on click open a webi document thru OPENDOCU and passing respective parameters.
The problem is , in design studio – it is not possible to click on a measure to capture both the dimensions.
In the CROSS-TAB component of Design studio,We can either capture region or Quarter but not both at the same time.
Is there any way I can click on the numbers and capture the associated two dimensions for the key-figure.?

Vinay, as you that cross tab will let you select either on row header or column header. Meaning, you can select either row value or column value.
So this can be achieved but you need to have dimensions either in columns or in rows. I tested this scenario and could capture both dimension values.
Apparently, it is a workaround not a solution
var div=CROSSTAB_2.getSelectedMember("_dbYX8CwZEeS6mO4guBZEDA").text;
var type=CROSSTAB_2.getSelectedMember("_dbY_ACwZEeS6mO4guBZEDA").text;
TEXT_3.setText(div+type);
You may use these variables in your OPENDOC.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Tejas

Home Design Studio 15 limitations?

Just purchased and downloaded Home Design Studio 15. It will not allow me to save, print or export a design. All this for $149?

Hi Lyle...
What you need to do is contact the developer > http://support.encore.com/
While you are waiting to hear back, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo may help.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try launcing the HDS app.
Apple's refund policy states, "All sales and rentals of products are final." iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
But considering the price of the app, I don't think asking for a refund is out of line. At least try > Mac App Store - Contact Support

How to set a BEx Query Condition in Design Studio (e.g. Net value GT 0)

Hi experts,
I have set a simple condition in my BEx Query...
e.g. key figure "Net value" GT 0 to become only positive values in the query result.
In the Query runtime the condition works successful, but in the Design Sudio view the defined Query condition doesn´t work.
In my Design Studio crosstab I have tried to switch between the display setting "Conditional formating Visible" true/false, but without success.
By the way, before I have posted this thread, I had a look at this two blogs...
Design Studio 1.0: Create a Scorecard Using SAP BW BEx Query Exceptions
Design Studio 1.2 - a Second Look
Any ideas or experiences?
Thanks and regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I think you are mixing up two different BEx terms. Conditions are filters on key figures (show me only the results with a value bigger than 50). Exceptions do not filter the result set, but provide a formatting based on the values in the result set (if value is bigger than 50, make its cell red).
The Conditional formatting setting in Design Studio refers to the BEx exceptions. For the BEx conditions there isn't such a setting available. You just have to activate the condition in your BEx Query and use that for your data source in Design Studio.
If you want a workaround to enable/disable conditions from Design Studio, check this blog I wrote: HackingSAP.com - SAP Design Studio and Conditions It shows how you can use variables to adjust the conditions (and also activate) from within Design Studio.
Cheers,
Xavier

Display Repeated Values in a Crosstab - Design Studio 1.2

I've a report in Design Studio from a Bex query. There are repeated values in few columns which Design Studio 1.2 refuses to display.
note: I've already unchecked the box "Hide Repeated Key Values" in the query properties of Bex query designer and i'm able to see repeated values when I open the query in Bex analyzer.
Design studio would not display the repeated values in the crosstab.
Anyone encountered and fixed a similar issue before?

Hi Stephen,
I was not able to resolve this issue, and I had to go ahead with values not being repeated.
I think this is a limitation of Design Studio with no fix for it in v 1.3 either, unless someone could suggest otherwise.

Abbas

Limitations while conected HANA universe to design studio

Hi All,
Previously i have created number of dashboard reports in Design Studio using BEx quires. Recently we moved to HANA database. From HANA we have universe connected to Design studio. Here we are facing some problems. It is not accepting huge data. when i tried to see the data in edit initial view, it is showing "data is too large ". looking to know about if any limitations and performance tuning while using HANA universe to Design Studio.
Kind Regards,
Sud.

Hi - please see the SAP Help page 68
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AAD14/en/ds14SP02_user_en.pdf
It says "Maximum Result Set The result set has a fixed limit of 5000 rows or 50000 data cells. If either limit is exceeded, no data is displayed"
Please also search SCN before posting per the SCN rules, as this has been asked before.
Thank you

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.

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.

Horizontal/Vertical Scroll in Design Studio 1.1

Hi,
We are using Design Studio 1.1 SP1,
I am using cross tab in the design studio to create a desktop application, I selected more number of columns in the cross tab, But in the cross tab i dont see horizontol/Vertical scroll bar in the layout.Please see the below attachments.
The data source is connected to a BW query with characteristics in the rows and key figures in the columns.

Hi Srinivas,
This is as per design.
Horizontal and Vertical scroll bars are enabled only in reference to the measure/Keyfigure entries.
In your query definition I could see a lot of Dimension/Characteristic values and there are only 2 measure values.
The expected behavior here is a scroll bar should appear when the data set or result set is not fitting in the assigned crosstab space. And moreover Scroll bar will only appear if the atleast one of the measure values is made visible in the crosstab.
To put it short, in your example horizontal scrollbar will appear when you choose (not more thn) 4 dimensions as only 5 columns are visible. This will enable one of the measure values to be displayed and hence the horizontal scrollbar.
Reason for such a design:
Crosstab display could be misleading if the entire dimension selection is not made visible and hence no scrolling is possible for dimensions.
E.g If the sales is sliced based on Region, Country and City. And in the initial display if only City and sales information is visible, then this will not communicate the entire information intended.
Note:
If you are not happy with this behavior or design, please raise a ticket explaining your scenario demanding the usage of more characteristics. We shall process this and respond to your request.

Bharath

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.

BW Business Document Service (BDS) in Design Studio

Hi all,
I am trying to migrate a WAD-Report to Design Studio 1.4. In WAD it’s possible to use BW Business Document Service (BDS). Documents can be opened by using the context menu.
I created a Test Report in Design Studio 1.4 and added a crosstab and assigned the Data Source. The report shows the data correctly but the context menu of Design Studio doesn’t show the document links.
I couldn’t find any information about BDS in DesignStudio in the Adminstrator and user guide.
Has anybody tried this before?
Does DesignStudio support BDS?
Thank you in advance!
Tobias

Hello Tobias - we have received a similar question here: Access Document Item/List similar to WAD
Would you please see if the response answers your question?

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.

Design Studio working for ipad,iphone, and desktop

Hello All,
I'm new to the SAP design studio world. My first task that has been assigned to me is to see what is the capability of Design Studio to have a singular file and have the CSS be reflective of Iphone,Ipad and Desktop.
1) Is this even possible? There is very limited document out there discussing in depth about design studio
2) If possible what has to be done to be able to get something like this to work?
3) I guess if all is good how maintainable is something like this.
I understand design studio is still pretty new and a lot of people are still using Dashboard Design, but any insight on this would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Scottie

Hi Scottie,
in addition to the valid information from Tammy, you cna refer to the PAM for supported devices. in Mobile area thesupported way is to use SAP BI Mobile as entry point.
to your question, you can create the application once and then open on desktop or iPad. I would be carefully with iPhone, as this is small device and not all components are supported (see documentation).
Also, it is today a bit tricky to change the CSS based on the device - there will be a better way in 1.4 release as there it will be possible to get the client header sring in BIAL scripts. and by that you can assign different CSS classes to the components.
welcome to Design Studio!
Regards, Karol

BW Integrated Planning in Design Studio 1.3

Hello experts,
This is regarding one of the newest features in the latest 1.3 release of Design Studio i.e BW integrated planning. i was going through the admin guide and i found the following sentence which suggests to me that planning applications are not mobile yet. Can anyone please shed some light on this? "With SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio you can create desktop browser applications for planning business data" .
This suggests that the planning applications work only on desktop browser. With out current client, What we are trying to achieve is , try to somehow create an approval process with design studio as user interface. for example: user clicks on an approve button which writes back data and approved a request.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Madireddy,
there is currently no official Crosstab support for planning on mobile devices yet.

Epson WorkForce Printer for Design Studio?

I need a recommendation on a reliable, cost effective color printer for my design studio. Color accuracy is very important, as I intend to use it for proofing purposes, and Mac OS X compatability is a must. I currently own a Brother MFC-9840CDW, which is a tank, but its color accuracy is horrible. Plus the consumables are very expensive. When I purchased the Brother laser printers were more cost effective thank inkjet. Now, it seems like some inkjet manufacturers have caught up with the laser guys in terms of lower per page costs.
I'm really impressed with what I've read on the Epson WorkForce series of printers, and I'm especially intrigued by the wide format options they have, which will enable me to print full spreads. Does anyone own any of the Epson WorkForce printers and if so how happy are you with its performance?

I don't have any "Workforce" printers, but wanted to chime in on your question. There are basicly 3 types of inkjet printers: 1.) office type printers like the workforce or deskjet type CMYK printers; 2.) photographic printers with multi-cartridge colors like CMYKlmlc; and 3.) graphic arts proofers like the Epson Stylus Pro or an HP Designjet that is mated with a 3rd party RIP.
You're looking at an office type solution with the Epson Workforce CMYK printer which is similar to the HP Deskjet8000 which is also CMYK. These type of inkjets are going to acheive some fairly good color, but not all colors will be accurate because of the limits of resolution and the 4 basic colors available ( CMYK ). I would look into a 3rd party RIP solution like a Colorburst or Efi Fiery that will open up some options for color accuracy. I recommend a RIP because the driver that comes with the printer is good, but not a proofing solution. For that, you'll need a RIP. More money, but worth the investment. Take a look at the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Designer Edition or the HP Designjet 130 with an optional RIP.
Also keep in mind that whatever you decide, the printer should be calibrated. The higher end inkjets come calibrated or have their own internal calibration. The RIP makes this happen.
