Disable link of BEX 3.5 query web template

Dear All,
we migrated all BEX queries from 3.5 to 7.x. Since our users use the BEX queries via web template, most of then have the web template links of old 3.5 queries saved as bookmarks in their browser.
Is there a way to disable this link server side, in order to force the user to update theyr link with the new one of BEX 7.x query web template?
Thanks

Hi,
> You may delete all 3.X bookmarks. The standard 3.X bookmark administration can be found in transaction RUNSCHED.
All below options mean, that you also cannot use the Broadcaster anymore !
> You may deactivate service /sap/bw/BEx in SICF. Users will get an ICF error message (Service not found).
> You may create your own handler on ICF service sap/bw/BEx, providing an appropriate message for users.
> Your can create your own redirect/logon/error page on this service.
> Another very drastic option would be to switch off service HTTP(S) in your ICM. In this case, no web applications are available via that service on the system anymore.

Martin

Two Bex Queries in one web template - drill-down should affect both queries

Hi,
I would like to have two Bex Queries in one web template with the same selection screen and free characteristics. When drilling-down on characteristics I want both queries to break down the figures. I cannot get the last part to work. We are using version 7.0.

Report/Query/Web Template Listing - Catalog

Hi all,
We are NW2004S SP10 and would like to know if anyone has implemented a report catalog that lists all the custom reports/queries created by functional area?
We could search the Metadata repository, but it is not organized well.
Also I have looked at an article in BWExpert - which is for BW3.5 and also requires manual maintainence.
Any ideas/thoughts in this regard will be appreciated.

Input Enabled Query - Web Template - Not able to change the key figure.

Hello IP Gurus,
This is a simple question .
I have input enabled query and for all the KF's , I selected the radio button - data can be changed using user entries or planning functions , Equal Distribution and No disagrregation.
I attached the query to a web template.
When I execute the template I am not able to enter or change the key figures.
Do I have to use any planning function to do that in the web template or I am missing any configuration . Please let me know how to change or enter the key figures
Thanks
Senthil

HI Senthil,
Please ensure that u have enabled the property " start Query in changed Mode". This u can find it in the query properties under the advanced tab.
For the Input readiness this alone is not enough.You have to use all the charecteristics that u have in the multiprovider or the aggregation level over which the query is built.

Document upload in BW report or web template

Hi all,
Is it possible to upload a document in word, excel etc format in the BW report / WAD ?
I am not referring to administrative workbench document.
I am on version 3.5.
I am under impression it's a standard functionality for netweaver 2000s Bex.
Regards,
Shreya

You can upload your document to MIME Repository and then give a link to this document from your web template.
Path where you can upload ur document:
SE80 -> MIME REPOSITORY -> PUBLIC -> BW -> CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC MIME OBJECTS.
This code for link in webtemplate will take to the document you uploaded earlier.
<a href="/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/YourDocName.doc" > Link to Document </a>

Multiple queries / tabs in Web Template

Hi all, I'm trying to find a few people I can share experience with regarding Web Templates with multiple tabs / dataproviders (ie queries, usually)
Two particular issues at the moment:
I'm having regular Internal Server Error when I have select the second tab and then click Refresh Variables (command Open_Variable_Dialogue, which doesn't link to a specific DataProvider). Has anyone come across this?
Also, has anyone worked out a way of only having 1 of each of Filter, Navigate, Export and Print buttons/links? Because these are specific to a DataProvider it seems I have to have a different button for each tab, which is clumsy with 2 queries and unacceptable for more than 2.
I'm not a Java programmer - any thoughts on whether Java programming skills are more or less essential to a BW Web development project?
But wider than these specifics, I'm keen to get some discussion going on this... I know many companies use multi-query web templates, so why the lack of discussion?
Hope to hear back soon, points awarded where deserved.
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
i worked in the webtemplate with multiple quiries.
you are trying to create the webtemplate with multiple quiries. can brief your requirement, so that i can help you out.
do you want to use multiple quiries in template. do you want you use the variable screen before opning the webtemplate. you can use the dropdown box, filter in the webtemplate. By using the dropdown or filter panel you can control multiple quiries in the template. by using the one dropdown box, print button, you control all the quiries in the template.
if you have any quiries please let me know.
regards
amith

Variants of web templates in the portal

Hello,
We launch our BI web templates via iViews in the portal. Some users
have saved their personal variants in the portal, but after the version
of the web template has changed, they do not access their variants any
more.
Are the variants in the portal linked to the version of the web
template ? How is it possible to retrieve the variants ?
Thank you in advance

Danny,
Logon to the BI system and go to transaction SE37 and execute RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET to get the portnumber, try applying this and test your iview again.
If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you to refer to SAP Note 937697 - Usage of SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool, it is a pretty simple tool and helps in resolving most issues with regards to BI Portal integration.
Cheers!

Pre Calculated Web Template?

Hello,
Can someone please provide a link or two on Pre Calculated Web Templates?
My hope is to create an iView that has certain application parameters to pull STATIC data from a pre-run BW report that also further filters the data into a specific field such as cost center.
Please visit the below thread for the long-winded explanation.

Hallo Patric
Below a link. Have a look at the attribute READ_MODE
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9e/9f653ade969f4de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Basically when you have a Precalculated Template, the system first run a report (which has been scheduled) and read the data from there when you run your template. This can imrpove the performance respect to online read data.

How to set default Web Template for BEx Query iViews in Portal?

Hi,
1) In SPRO you can set the Standard Web Template used, e.g. ZANALYSIS_PATTERN1.
2) I published a query to Portal and when it runs within Portal, I want it to use a different web template, say ZANALYSIS_PATTERN2.
I don't want to change the BEx Web Application Query String property for each iView to hardcode the template e.g. to "QUERY=TestQuery1&TEMPLATE=ZANALYSIS_PATTERN2"
I only want the query name in the iView
Can I set this somewhere in Portal? I tried changing the standard "BEx Web Analyzer" iView as mentioned in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/33/39fa40ee14f26fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm (BEx Web Application or Query as iView in the Portal)
but it still seems to take the template from SPRO even after restarting J2EE

Hi,
I don't think anyone is holding back knowledge, I think it's sometimes difficult to filter out "good" questions as opposed to "bad" questions...
In any case, I don't think it's possible to have different default templates, eg one for the portal and one for the "rest". I'm afraid you'll have to either change each one on the portal or use one for all.
Cheers,
Dion

but it still seems to take the template from SPRO even after restarting J2EE
(I just published this question in Portal forum but I think it belongs here instead since it is BI Portal - apologies for the double-post..)

D Nore did you found the way to do it ?
I still have the issue, whatever the place where I force the template, the queries on the portal does not use my specific template.
I tried :
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bexwebanalyzer
(this one was working before upgrade to netweaver stack 17).
as well as
pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/sap_bw_report_iview
and
pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/sap_bi7x_report_iview
none works !
If you have the tricks share it with us.

Search Query Web Part thumbnail image link broken

Hello,
I have 4 farms spread across the world and I want to pull news from Farm 1 (headquarters) into farm 2, 3, and 4. In SharePoint 2007 I did this with content deployment by pushing only the news site out to the other 3 farms. However, from
reading content deployment guidelines in SP13 I feel this is no longer a supported configuration.
I am trying to use the search query web part to accomplish this now. I have a search query web part that I am using to roll up articles from SharePoint at farm 1. So far it is mostly working, the articles are pulled in and I can see
them. When I click the link it takes me from the current farm (farm 2) to farm 1 to read the article. The only problem I am having is that the rollup image does not display at farm 2, 3, or 4. I believe this is happening because the image
URL at the source is getting saved as a relative URL. Even if I try to override the relative URL to the image with an absolute URL then it just forces the URL back to a relative URL because clearly SharePoint is smarter than I am and there is no reason
I should ever want an absolute URL.
I should add that to get this working, in my search settings, I had to configure an extra content source (to farm 1).
So my question is what is the best way to handle this? Is there an option in my search configurations on farm 2 to override URL's for a particular content source? Am I even headed down the right path trying to do this with the content search
web part?
Thanks,

Hi Tom,
I have been trying to figure out what you mean when you say I am using 'Page item' instead of 'Picture'. I don't understand what you mean.
When I set up a page that will be published I have actually been using an 'Article Page' content type for the news item I want to share on all of the farms. After creating the page there is a section at the bottom for a 'Rollup Image' I specify
the URL in this rollup image but the actual image is stored in an 'Assets' Library. I have no problem with the article page itself showing up on Farm 2, just not the image. The "Rollup Image" data type is Publishing Image - "Rollup
Image is a site column created by the Publishing feature. It is used on the Page Content Type as the image for the page shown in content roll-ups such as the Content By Search web part."
Question 1: Are you saying that I need to somehow replace that rollup image field with a custom site column field?
Question 2: If I set up a new column then do I need to worry about connecting catalogs?
In your post from December 9th it sounded like you had this working in your test environment.
Question 3: Did you have it working using a different configuration there?
Question 4: If so, did it require having a separate web application just for Assets, or were you using a custom site column there?
In Farm 2, after I connected my catalog from Farm 1, I found that a Pages library at the top level of my site collection contained some strange entries. I have files in that library called
CatalogItem--1684387697
CatalogItem-364050575
Category-
Category-1211-4576
The first CatalogItem gives me an error "Sorry, something went wrong". The rest seem to contain images from Farm 1. However, news articles still are not finding those images. I suppose that is because the 'Rollup image' link is
still pointing to a different path than that connected catalog. Anyway, those items were checked out to me and were not published. I checked them in and published those Category/CatalogItem connections hoping that would work, but
that didn't help either.
When I set up my catalog in farm 1 I only checked 'Enable this library as a catalog'. None of the other fields seemed to apply since I am not publishing to a public site (Anonymous access) and also since I am not trying to tie identifiers to catalog
items (Catalog Item URL fields). Additionally when I connected to my catalog I tried "<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_fullConnection">Integrate the catalog into my site" with the setting "</label><label
for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_rewriteDecisionSection_noURLRewriteRadioButton">Make URLs point to source catalog". I also tried "</label><label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_manualConnection">Connect,
but do not integrate the catalog". Both of those settings sounded like they might force catalog items to look to the source (Farm 1). Neither worked. There are a lot of other settings but none of them seem to apply to my situation.
I'm not trying to configure Navigation Hierarchy, Category Pages, or Item Pages. Maybe I need to do something with "Catalog Item URL Format", but I'm not sure what settings I should try.</label>
Questions 5,6: Do you have recommendations for my catalog/catalog connections to get this working? Obviously my current configuration is not right or else it would work, but am I even close?
