Desktop Intelligence to Web Intelligence Conversion and EOL Announcement

I would like to invite interested parties to newly created Collaboration Worskspace (CW):
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/community/beta/deski2webiconversion
Here is an overview:
The intention of this site is to serve as a consolidation of all things related to conversion of Desktop Intelligence (Deski) to Web Intelligence (Webi). Use this site as a jump off point to the multitude of online resources that will help you explore all that there is to know about Deski to Webi conversion and Deski End of Life (EOL). Where ever possible we endeavour to provide links to existing content, but where necessary, content is published directly to this site as well. Use this site to get started, stay connected and become active in the greater SAP BusinessObjects community. We encourage you to share your comments, ideas, suggestions and issues via our discussions area. Note that issues should still be formally logged through our Customer Support System, but by discussing them here, we can all learn from each others' experiences.

You should just have to set the aggregation for the object in designer.
goto 'Properties' tab for avail_bal
and set the Qualification to 'Measure' and the Function to 'Sum'

  • Web intelligence/desktop intelligence

    Hi guys i would like to know the difference between desktop intelligence and web intelligence.When should we go for desktop and webi  given a senerio.(i am new to BO).

    jiyyana,
    Welcome to BO
    Most of the below response is from the following site posted on/about 2/11/2008; you can visit there for some ongoing discussion:
    http://www.geekinterview.com/question_details/62695
    Desktop Intelligence (DeskI) Reports: These are standard "rep" -type files created from BO's full client known as "Desktop Intelligence".  The software is loaded individually to each workstation that will execute Deski.  A Deski report can be modified/viewed using the full client as well as applying all the tools/options available when using the full client.  As an added "benefit" a saved rep (Deski Report) can be imported to the XI web platform for "public" execution/view (but not for modification) -- all viewed via Infoview  on the Web Intelligence platform.
    Web Intelligence (WebI) Reports:  These are standard "wid" -type files created using the online WEBI on XI and these reports can use tools and options available in Webi.  These reports are built using WebI and and viewed using either WebI (modify mode) or Infoview (read-only mode). If further modifications to a report are needed then open in modified mode, correct, report, save, and then subsequently open in Infoview in cases where no further modification is required but you just want to view and move on.
    DeskI was the initial product, offered prior to XI.  When XI hit the streets, DeskI was not included, but users compelled BO to include DeskI in XI R2 and DeskI has been included ever since.  BO strategy moving forward is to include as many features in DeskI into WebI, but that still remains to be seen.  If you've never used DeskI before, then conventional wisdom is "don't", just learn to deal with everything in WebI and if it can't be done in WebI, then either look back to DeskI or consider Crystal, or something else.  If you've used DeskI, then try to learn how to do the same things in WebI and encourage the use of WebI throughout your organization.
    Thanks,

  • Difference Between BEx Web and Web Intelligence

    Hi,
    Could someone help me understand why someone would want to choose SAP BW BEx Web over Web Intelligence (apart from license issues)?
    Web Inteligence is a very strong tool from a UI point of view and has can do most of the functions that SAP BW BEx Web can. WebI allows users to actually create your own reports.
    A couple of drawbacks with WebI
    -  I can see is that Web Intelligence does not handle SAP BW hiearchies very well (i.e. they are not shown in a hierachical manner).
    - WebI holds the data within the report which can mean long run times. BEx Web only brings back data for fields that are shown in the report
    I have heard people saying that BEx Web is an OLAP tool and WebI is not. How does this make a difference?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    take a look here:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com//irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d00ae0a1-8086-2d10-118c-f35b8e604bc4
    BEx is an OLAP Tool and Web Intelligence for sure not - means that Web Intelligence is not designed for multi-dimensional concepts.

  • Desktop Intelligence formula to convert into Web Intelligence formula

    Hi Team,
    I have converted Desk I Report into Web I report but below formula is not working in Web Intelligence report.
    Desk I formula
    ="Selected Period: " + UserResponse(DataProvider([Order Number]) [EIH Query]"Enter Date mm/dd/yyyy  (From)?") + " To: " + UserResponse(DataProvider([Order Number]) [EIH Query]"Enter Date mm/dd/yyyy (To)?")
    converted formula into Web Intelligence but not working. It is showing "# Syntax"
    ="Selected Period: " + UserResponse(DataProvider(<Order Number>) ,"Enter Date mm/dd/yyyy  (From)?") + " To: " + UserResponse(DataProvider(<Order Number>) ,"Enter Date mm/dd/yyyy (To)?")

    Hi,
    Use the following syntax:
    ="Selected Period: " + UserResponse([EIH Query];"Enter Date mm/dd/yyyy (From)?") + " To: " + UserResponse([EIH Query];"Enter Date mm/dd/yyyy (To)?")
    Note: Prompt string should be exactly same and the query name to be used in []

  • How to add a barcode font for use in Web Intelligence (WebI) XIR2 and 3x?

    Anyone have the steps to add a barcode font to WebI XIR2 and 3x?  Not finding a good KBase on it and was also wondering if there any "gotchas" in terms of printing and exporting to .pdf.
    Thanks.

    Hi Kevin,
    Also, if the solution provided in the previous post doesn't helps you then try the following solution.
    Following are the steps to apply barcode font (IDAutomationHC39M):
    1) In Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder:
    -- C:\Windows\Fonts
    2) On the File menu click Install New Font then browse to the font you want to install.
    3) Edit the properties on the fonts you have just added:
    In the "Embedding" tab, you should get a property like "Preview & Print embedding allowed".
    But, nothing related to a license limitation regarding the embedding, else, you will not be allowed to use the added fonts in PDF or XLS generation.
    4) Once the above points have been done:
    -- Copy the .ttf fonts you want to use in the following XIR2 folder:
    <BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib\fonts
    5) Add the following entries into the fontalias.xml file, which is in the following folder:
    <BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\fonts
    The template looks like the following one:
    <FONT NAME="IDAutomationHC39M">
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="ttf" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M (IDAutomationHC39M)">
    <FONTATTRIBUTE BOLD="false" ITALIC="false" LOGICAL="IDAutomationHC39M" PHYSICAL="IDAutomationHC39M.ttf"/>
    </FONTFAMILY>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="win" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="java" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
    <FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="html" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
    </FONT>
    6) Add the following entries into the u2018i18n.xmlu2019 file, which is in the following folder:
    <BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\scripts
    You have different sections in this i81n.xml file.
    -- Under the first section
    <I18N>
    <FontFinder>
    <font key=u201DIDAutomationHC39Mu201D value=u201DIDAutomationHC39Mu201D/>
    u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
    </ FontFinder>
    < FontFinder2>
    <font key=u201DIDAutomationHC39Mu201D value=u201DIDAutomationHC39Mu201D/>
    u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
    </ FontFinder2>
    -- Under the u2018font_aliasingu2019 section
    <font_aliasing>
    <T1>
    u2026u2026u2026u2026.
    </T1>
    <TTF>
    u2026..
    <font name=u201DIDAutomationHC39Mu201D>
    <os type=u201Dallu201D>
    <Attributs style=u201D0u201D filename=u201DIDAutomationHC39M.ttfu201D encoding=u201Du201D aliaspsname =u201CIDAutomationHC39Mu201D/>
    u2026
    </os>
    </TTF>
    7) Save the both files.
    8) Restart the Businessobjects servers or local computer.
    9) Login in to infoview and create a new web intelligence report by using the Java Report Panel or Html Report Panel;
    10) In the left pane, select the "Cell Format Properties": you will notice that an entry "IDAutomationHC39M" has been added into the font dropdown list.
    Just test the above u2018IDAutomationHC39Mu2019 barcode font, at your end and update me with the results.

  • Diference Between Web Intelligence and Web Intelligence Rich Client?

    Hey Guys,
    Do you know the difference between Web Intelligence and Web Intelligence Rich Client?
    I was asked about that but i couldnt help. And i need to make a decision about a Web Intelligence training. I need to decide using one or another.
    Thanks
    Vegas

    Hi Vegas,
    The Webintelligence Rich Client (WRC) has all the features of the thin webintelligence client. But WRC makes use of the client processor and memory to do all post query processing while Infoview Webi sends every request to the server for processing.
    Thus you won't find any difference between the time taken to retrieve data from the database between these two clients. But there would be huge difference in performance while doing further analysis, formatting  with the data. Also you will not need connectivity to the network to do analysis and formatting using the WRC client.
    WRC client will help you to just retrieve the data on the fly and let you play around with it while you are traveling with no network connectivity.
    Thanks

  • Different values between Rich Client and Web Intelligence

    Hi all,
    our landscape is BO Edge 4.1 SP2 Patch 5
    we just create a report in Web Intelligence with a query bics from BW
    We discovered that sometimes the report retrives fake values from BW: the same report refreshed in Rich Client shows correct values.
    BW data are frozen (updated only once a day)
    We tried to:
    - save report with Rich Client and published it in the public folder (but Web Intelligence still shows wrong data)
    - upgrade Java Virtuale Machine to the latest release
    - looking for system and BO log without any clue
    - looking for SAP note (some info only related to BI 3.1)
    Workaround: issue disappear only restarting BO SIA
    Can you help us?
    Any idea?
    Regards.

    Have you seen Web Intelligence and Oracle Java Runtime Environment Known Issues
    There is a wiki inside the blog
    I wonder too if you might get a faster, better response in the Web Intelligence space

  • Wingdings and OCRB fonts in Web Intelligence 4.1 : not possible in pdf

    Dear all,
    I have a Web Intelligence document containing Wingdings and ORCB fonts.
    This is possible in Web Intelligence 4.1 HTML viewer and editor.
    However, when you export the Web Intelligence document to pdf, these fonts are changed to Arial :
    Does anyone has a solution to display the Wingdings and OCRB fonts in pdf ?
    According to SAP KB http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1825538, it should be possible from 4.0 SP8. I'm on BI 4.1 SP02 Patch 2
    Thanks
    Hans

    I fixed it as follows:
    1. Modify the fontalias.xml
    Location :
    Solaris : /(install_dir)/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/solaris_sparcv9/fonts
    Windows :
    (instal_dir)/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/win32_x86/fonts
    (instal_dir)/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/win64_x64/fonts
    To be added : see attachment : fontalias.txt
    This is sufficient for a deployment on Windows
    2. In case of Solaris
    To be more precise : when the Web Intelligence Processing Server runs on a Solaris box, copy the ttf-files in the directory (see attachment) :
    /(install_dir)/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/solaris_sparcv9/crpe/fonts

  • When will the SAP Mobile BI Android SDK to embed analytic views (Web Intelligence reports and Dashboards) in custom mobile Android App be supported/

    hi all,
       SAP Mobile BI IOS SDK provides such SDK to embed analytic views (Web Intelligence reports and Dashboards) supported by the SAP BI application inside your own custom mobile applications, while Android SDK does not provide such sdk. I would like to know if there is any plan or roadmap to support this interface in Android SDK?

    Thank you Vishwanath for your reply. We already developed an Android App, and just want to embed and open SAP BO report directly inside our own App, instead of launching SAP Mobile BI App.

  • Web Intelligence 5.5 and Windows 2000 SP4

    Ok, stupid question time.
    I have one Windows 2000 server running SP3. I am in the process of updating this to SP4 and would like to know if there are any issues/things to look out for. This server is running web intelligence 5.5
    I do have another similar server running BO 5.1.8 so any feedback that would be useful and appreciated.
    I will post this question elsewhere on these forums to covere both aspects, so please excuse the duplication
    Regards

    Give it a shot. I have used older versions on 2000 with no problems.
    However; I strongly recommend upgrading. There are a great number of reasons for upgrading, and you would be silly not to. It only costs $395 to upgrade.

  • Web Intelligence report fails after adding hyperlink

    I am trying to add a hyperlink to a Business Objects report created in Desktop Intelligence 3.1.  When I export the report to WebIntelligence and try to run the report, I get an error box that pops up with the following message:
    T​h​e​ ​d​o​c​u​m​e​n​t​ ​i​n​s​t​a​n​c​e​ ​i​s​ ​n​o​ ​l​o​n​g​e​r​ ​a​v​a​i​l​a​b​l​e​.​ ​P​l​e​a​s​e​ ​r​e​o​p​e​n​ ​t​h​e​ ​d​o​c​u​m​e​n​t​.​ ​(​E​r​r​o​r​:​ ​R​F​C​ ​0​0​4​2​1​)
    Can anyone please tell me what is going on?  I can't find any reference to that error anywhere.

    This problem is with a report created in Desktop Intelligence and then run in the Web Intelligence environment.  If I tried to run the report, it would fail.  The only way I managed to get the report to work, was to turn off the auto refresh when open.
