Designer is slow when generating a new universe based on a BEX query

Hi
When we generate a universe on the basis of a BEX query, so it may take up to 30 minutes before we have a universe.

Hi,
could you setup the tracing on the client with the Universe Designer and post a link that as the file for download ?
you can follow the note here for the tracing details:
Windows : Note 1260004
also make sure that the client is on the same fixpack level as the backend

Universe based on SAP BI Query

Hi,
I have created a universe based on SAP BI Query. In the universe there is a class called Time and has the below dimensions.
L01 Calendar Day
L01 Calendar Month
L01 Calendar Year
I want to create a dimension that will return only the current year (2012) and another dimension that will give the last year(2011)
Please suggest how to create these two dimensions in the universe using the XML tags.
Thanks,

Hi,
Here's a white paper on SDN with some samples: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/c0a45246-ce76-2b10-e688-f5c8206203eb&overridelayout=true
Also, in the Universe Designer, there is an MDX formula editor when you create objects in the OLAP universe. it's in the 'select' screen, click the " >> " icon.

BO4.1 universe with hierarhies on BEx query

Hi Team,
We have a BEx query with some hierarhies on top of it. We are trying to get those hierarhies into Webi but not able to succeed.
Scenario: we have defined a hierarhy in BW backend on object ZUSE and ZUSGR using the Function module. The Info object ZUSGR is not existing in the Info provider and Multiprovider but only ZUSE is available. Now we are trying to bring the hierarhy defined on ZUSGR. We are able to see the values for ZUSGR in WEBI while selecting the promt but when we drilldown it is going to the different object which is existing in the universe but not to the object ZUSE.
ZUSE: User ZUSGR: Usergroup; The hierarcy is Usergroup---->User
Please help me in getting this hierarhy...
Thank you in advance for your help...
Best regards,
Amarnath

Hello Amarnath ,
when connecting Web Intelligence to SAP BW there is no need at all to create a Universe. When it comes to the data connectivity from Web Intelligence to SAP BW you can point Web Intelligence directly to a BEx query and use the elements from the BEx query in Web Intelligence.
Also keep in mind that Web Intelligence will always struggle when it comes to using hierarchies and you might want to take a look at SAP BUsinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft office or Analysis, edition for OLAP

Multiple Universes (based on SAP BI Query) & single WebI Report

Hi,
We build OLAP Universes on SAP BI Queries. One of the ways to consume multiple universes in a single WebI report is to "add query" from another universe into the same WebI page / another WebI tab for the report.
Is there a possibility to pick and choose fields from different Universes (based on SAP BI Queries), into a single WebI report ... of course respecting their technical linkage.

Rajesh K Sarin

Hi Ingo,
We have created multiple subject Area Universes (based on SAP BI Queries). Is there a possibility to select a particular object from one of the Universe and another object from another Universe into the same grid eg. Notification Number from Work Management Universe (SAP BI Query based on Customer Service Data Flow / Multiprovider) and Invoice Number from Invoicing Universe (SAP BI Query based on Invoicing Data Flow / Multiprovider). Common aspects for both of these could be say a Customer Account Number.
As per my understanding, we cannot do this if we have created Universes on SAP BI Queries.
Nearest possible option is to display two tables on the same WebI report - one from Work Mgmt Universe and other from Invoicing Universe.
Please guide.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

BO Production deployment of universes based on SAP BW query

Hi there,
We just set a scenario on a BO development machine, and would like to deploy all these created objects (webi/cr documents, universes based on SAP BW queries... ) to a BO Production machine.
How can this procedure be performed?
As far as I know, import wizard should be used, but what happens with universes that are referring to SAP BW queries? Obviously, universe in BO Production environment should point to the same BW query name, but from SAP BW Production system, not development.
Is import wizard capable of doing this step? If not, what should be done in order to replicate your universes based on BW queries from BO Development to BO Production?
Thanks and best regards,
David.

Hi David,
which version of BOBJ are you using? The LifeCycle Manager (LCM) may be interesting for you. Runs only on Windows and only for BOBJ XI 3.1 though.

New OLAP connection for each BEx query?

Hi,
I am wondering whether it's really necessary to create for each BEx query a new OLAP connection in BO 4.0.
This is the BICS connection as far as I know. But this would result in a lot of OLAP connections...
Thanks!

One OLAP connection is enough for one BW system.
You can also dedicate a OLAP connection to one query if needed.

Extremely Slow when Opening a new tab

I have just bought my new Retina MacBook Pro after my 3 years Macbook Pro 13" is total lost and get the Mountain Lion OSX with latest 10.8.2 version
After migrating the MacOSX from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, my Mac is everything ok but without Safari.
Once I wanna open a webpage from bookmarks bar, I usually open a new tab then click one of webpage in one of the bookmarks bar. The problem was happened in this action.
After I opening a new tab which I have set to show top site rather than History (all top site are locked like a set of bookmarks), the system extremely slow down even I just move my mouse from one bookmark to another on the bookmarks bar, it still have a bit serious delay more than a second.
I have just tested, if i choose history not top site is shown when I am opening a new tab, the performance really better. However, when I scroll to somewhere all have thumbnails for those webpages, the performance still slow down but not yet as serious as the top site and I think becasue I have choose over 12 webpages for topsite (which are all have thumbnails).
My new Retina MacBook Pro is the lower default spec i7 2.3GHz and the version now is MacOSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.1
one of place I want to mentioned is my Safari and Safari Webpage Content are over 500MB once I have opened. Is it common and normal? I feel really upset that my new Mac doesn't really faster than before but the older one is Core 2 duo and 4GB ram vs the new one is i7 2.3GHz and 8GB ram....oh my god

Try clearing history and the cache...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaning boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
See if that made a difference.

Cfdocument running slow when generating PDF

I have two servers configured the same way. They're running CF 8 Enterprise (exact version is 8,0,1,195765), Java version is 1.6.0_04. Servers are Windows 2008 Server Standard. On one of them, generating PDFs using CFDOCUMENT is very fast. On the other it's painfully slow, can take minutes for a simple PDF. I've checked everything I can think of on the two servers and they seem pretty much the same. I checked the iText jars, they appear to be the same as well. I've seen other people post with slowness issues, but many posts relate to dynamic images, which are not an issue here because I have a PDF with no images in it. I'm totally out of ideas as to what could be causing the difference in performance. Anybody else run into this and find a solution?

Actually, I have emailed the support and they have done it for me.
But, I believe that they went into Policies --> Desktop Protection Policy
Then, if you go to “Browser Protection & Web Filtering” go to the “Exception” tab and add in there the URL of your excluded coldfusion server.
Also, in Virus & Spyware protection, exclude the extension “.cfm” from the “Excluded Files and Folders” and it should work.
If it doesn’t, just email the support and ask them to do it for you

WCS reponds slow when generating the Client Association reports

Hello,
I have set a Wireless Network in of our client's corporate office - which consists of one WLC4404, 42 x 1131AG Access Points. WCS is used to mainly to monitor the AP reachability and Client Association and Deassociations from the WLAN.
When i click on Run Now of the Client Association reports; the report is generated successfully. But when i try to view other pages such as Monitor>Network Summary - the WCS stops responding and it takes approximately 7 mins to display the Monitor>network Summary page. At this time i have observed that the server is reachable during the continous ping and the Server CPU utilization remains to 8% and Memory utilization remains to 1.56GB.
Error Message: Error getting dataa from Server. Make sure you have connectivity and the Server is UP.
Server used is a Standard Server HP Proliant ML110 with 1.86GHz Intel Xeon CPU and 2GB RAM. Operating System used is Win 2003 Server with SP1.
Please can one help me solving this problem.
Regards,
Keshava Raju

Sorry, i missed out to mention - WCS V4.1 is used for monitoring the WLAN.

Generating a new table based on user choices - Code Problems

A while ago someone posted on one of the Adobe forums the following code (sorry I do not remember the name / link). This code is meant to generate a second table (an Object list in this case) according to the user’s choices at another table (in this case a dropdown list):
form1.TableA.TableTitles.Row1.DropDownList1::change - (JavaScript, client)
var str_itemtext = xfa.event.newText;
var olist2 = xfa.resolveNode("form1.TableA.TableTitles.Row2.ListBox2");
var arrayADVS = new Array("Acad", "Disp", "Advs");
var arrayCD = new Array("Proj-", "HRS");
if (str_itemtext == "ADVS") {
makelist(olist2, arrayADVS);
olist2.presence = "visible";
else if (str_itemtext == "CD"){
makelist(olist2, arrayCD);
olist2.presence = "visible";
function makelist(olist, arrayitem) {
var i = 0;
olist.clearItems();
for (i = 0; i < arrayitem.length; i ++){
olist.addItem(arrayitem[i], arrayitem[i]);
I made a couple of minor changes but generally preserved the original code and it seemed to work fine. The problem arises after the completed form is saved:- the “object list” (second table) disappears even though I set it as visible. I tried changing the Type (from user entered required to read only) but to no avail.
Could someone please help me figure out what is wrong with this code? Why does this Object List object disappears after the form is saved?
Thanks.

If you could post the form or send a copy to [email protected] I would be happy to take a look, otherwise, it is hard to diagnose.

Using javascript to save a pdf to a different directory and generating a new filename based on form fields in the document.

I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: redeclaration of const path
any help would be much appreciated.
var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;
var date = this.getField("Date").value;
var path = "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/"
var reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
var myPath= "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/" + customer + "_" + reg[1] + "." + reg[2] + "." +
reg[3] + ".pdf";
this.saveAs(myPath);

"path" is a keyword within a PDF you should not use keywords as a name for any other object as a general rule.
Have you checked the PDF Reference to see how to create a file path name within a PDF, 3.10.1 File Specification Strings page 118?
Did you carefully read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the saveAs method?
The notes following the description:
Note: This method can only be executed during a batch or console event. See Privileged versus non-privileged context for details. The event object contains a discussion of JavaScript events.
(Adobe Reader S): This method is available in Adobe Reader for documents that have Save usage rights.

How to create a formula based condition in bex query designer

hi all,
i have scenario in query designer where i need to calculate Key performance indexes based on characters and key figures iam using.for example the condition is like:
"if call received is less than call projection then give call received else null"
how and where to define the condition and i need to name the condition to display it seperatly.please help me in this issue.
regards
Vamshi D Krishna

hi you have to break down your conditions and then code for them.
for e.ge.
if actual == 0
vart = 0.
else if actual-target ==0
          vart = 0.001
       else
         vart = actual -target
       endif
endif
now we start with first condition use operators from boolean catagory
(Actual != 0)*(other amount)
this solves first if condition... if actual = 0 value actual != 0 will be zero we got our desired value.
if other case then we have give else condition.
(Actual != 0)*(((actual - target) == 0 )*0.001+((actual-target)!=0)*(actual-target))
in the second half we have coded the else part.
in the same way you can proceed for your logic
