Displaying " Maximum retrieval time " in WEBI report

Hi ,
I want to display " Maximum time taken by the report to run " in the webi intelligence report.
Please let me know if there are any built in functions .
Regards,
Dirasa

Hi,
There are some pre defined functions in BO. For your requirement try this function .
= LastExecutionDuration(DataProvider([Any object of data provider])) -> gives the max amount of time taken for refresh/execution if it executed first time.

Execution time for web reports

Hello every one,
How to calculate execution time for web reports, for query execution we will go through RSRT, by giving query name and press execute + Debug button then select statistical data & Do not Cache buttons then press enter, after getting output press on back button, we will get duration of the query.....
But my question is , can we calculate execution time for webreport, if so can you please guide me.
and can you also tell me , if there is any RRI for one report, how to calculate execution time for these queries.
Ex : Query ABC have XYZ as its drilldown report , i need to calculate execution time for XYZ report via ABC report.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards.

Hi,
For reports executed in java web you can add the parameter &PROFILING=X
to the URL in order to record the execution time. Please have a look at SAP note 1048691 for further information.

How to Display Current Quarter results in WebI report?

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement where a WebI report should open up on current quarter basis by default. I have checked the refresh on Open in the document properties.What changes or formulae do I need to make/create in order to open the report with current quarter results?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,
Anila.

Hi Anila,
Do you mean if a user is running a report on the first quarter, the report should display data for the first quarter only?
If yes, here is the solution:
Create a formula:
CurrQtr = If (Quarter(CurrentDate())) = MyQuarterObject THEN "Show"
Then put a ReportFilter CurrQtr=Show

Display year and month in webi report

Hi
I have requirement like below.
If user select year in prompt for example user select 2011
i have 2 columns in a report pY-2,   pY-1
These above columns will display 2009 , 2010 along with the current month.Month will be same as current month.
For suppose user select 2009 and(assume current month is JULY)The above columns will display like below.
pY-2                     pY-1
July-2007            July-2008
Please suggest me how we can achieve this?
Best Regards,
Abhi

Because you have a requirement to display data for current month you will have to add at least one new restricted key figure to BEx query that you plan to use for report. Restricted key figure should use BEx SAP exist variable that limits data to current month. It might require that you will need to enable one or two BI Content variables that SAP provides with SAP BW installation. There are at least two types of current month variables - current fiscal month or current calendar month. Another possibility for restricted key figure is to use your own BEx exit variable
Afterwards you have few options;
- develop crosstab report to display pY-1, pY-2 data;
- add two more restricted key figures to BEx query to display pY-1 and pY-2 columns; this will require you to add new BEx input variable to BEx query
- create WEBI measure variables to display pY-1 and pY-2 columns based on WEBI prompt

Display variable values in Web report

Hi Bw Mates,,,
I am trying to display the variable values in Web Report.
I put one text Item in Template and checked the Variable Display and entered the variable name in List.
still I cannot see the variable values in the report.
Thanks for your help.
RSB

<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TEXTELEMENTS_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTS"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_LINKS" value=""/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="BORDER"/>
         <param name="SHOW_COMMON_ELEMENTS" value=""/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_TYPE_1" value="VARIABLE"/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="Z_CP_018"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_1
</object>
as the other poster mentioned the variable name has to be in upper case.
if only_values = 'X' you will just get the value other wise
you will get something like below.
variable description = variable value

Displaying Prompt values in webi report

Hi,
How to display prompt value in my webi report.
For one prompt value I can user Userresponse function.
In one of my report, I have a prompt for Date, which also should be displayed in the report under one field. I am using the below formula: =UserResponse("Enter Date:")
But my new requirement is User wants a Date Range for a particual trasaction date. I created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
I need to display the start date and end date user selected under one field Date in my webi report.
how should I do that.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ven Men

Hi Ven,
You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.
Thanks,

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

Thanks

Hi,
Try to create a Class e.g Time in universe and objects to that class as year, quarter,month as
Year Object -> data type -> D/N
select To_date('sysdate','YYYY) as year from dual
Month object-> data type -> D/N
select to_date)'sysdate','MM') as month from dual;
Quarter -> data type -> D/N
case when @select(Time/Month) in (1,2,3) then q1
         when @select(Time/Month) in (4,5,6) then q2
          when @select(Time/Month) in (7,8,9) then q4
           when @select(Time/Month) in (10,11,12) then q4
endcase
Then create a hierarch in tools -> hiearchy ->custom hierarchy and add the above class there then in any report (Deski/WebI)
you will get the above hierarchy and use it according to your requirement.

Disabling Cache for a webi report

Hello,
We have BO 4.1 SP1 system. We have a webi report based on bw- bex. That bex is connected to a table in R3 that momentarily updates itself. So, we are supposed have a report connected to live data. (bex query cache is already disabled on bw)
The problem is, by the data changes, the webi report fails to catch the new data in time. The bex query it is connected, almost momentarily updates itself, however, webi does not. The goal is to make the webi report's result data to match the bex query result as the table in R3 updates.
To achieve that, we created a server group in CMC, named it "no-cache" and put some cloned servers with supposed no cache holding properties. (The screenshot of the servers are attached.) We scheduled the webi report in every 5 minutes, allowing only the no cache servers to be used. However, it is still reported that the webi report does not match the bex from time to time.
Am I missing some server cache configuration? Or is a real-time data webi report not possible?
Thank you

Also, the third screen shot for the server properties is as below.
Thank you again.

Different display on client report builder and web reports

Hi all, I have build a report in report 6i version Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1.And I set the page to 8.5*11 ,and it runs well in the client ,but when I put it on the UNIX SERVER,and run it from web URL,It displayed different from the client report builder.The web report is "smaller" than the client report ,but the font size is as same as the client .
My HPUX is 11x,and display the Chinese report .
Any body know why ?give me some advice ,thank u very much.

Hi
If you had built the report definition on Windows and then moved this to Unix server, you may find different fonts in use. This is becuase your Unix setup does not have the same fonts install. At design time, You need to use fonts which are available on Unix also. The same fonts shaould also be installed for printer in Unix i.e. the AFM/PFM font files should be kept under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommonX/tkXX/admin/AFM or PFM directory. This would give you the same output and would lessen the porting affect.
Thanks

WEBI report on a Universe - Time Format

Hi,
I have a WEBI report built on a universe that uses a BW query as a datasource.
In my BW report I have two time key figures of type DEC.
Actual Time and Scheduled Time in format HH:MM:SS or -HH:MM:SS if it is a negative value. It works well in Bex and RSRT.
There is a Universe report built on top of this report and my WEBI report is built on the universe.
When I run the WEBI report the time key figures display in the format 10,000 in BO instead of 01:00:00 (HH:MM:SS) as it is in Bex. It is obviously doing some type of internal conversion and outputting the wrong result.
Is there a way to convert the field in BO so that it outputs the same as Bw format?
I have tried changing the universe format properties of the field from Number to Character and back again but it does not give me any different result and in some cases it displays as #DataType.
Any suggestions welcome.
BO Version 3.1
BW Version 7.01
Regards,
John

If you select "Date/Time" in the format then select the time field, does this work for you?
It should be HH:mm:ss (capitalization matters).
I don't have a BW sample currently available to test so this screenshot is from an Oracle data source.
Also, are you able to set the object to a Date type?

Display of Hierarchy Nodes as Medium Text in Web Report

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know how to display the hierarchy nodes as medium text instead of short text (default) in web report?
I know it is possible to change the display setting directly (by right clicking on hierarchy node > properties) from the web report.
However, I would love to know if there is any other way to change the settings such as through Query designer or Hierarchy maintenance in SAP GUI so that users do not need to change the display settings every time they view the web report.
Your help is kindly appreciated.

Thank you Shabar for you quick reply.
What if a Hierarchy is created under an InfoObject? How can I change the Text view of each name of the Hierarchy nodes?
In Query Designer, I tried to change the Text View to Long but it only affects the text of the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
I tried the 2nd suggestion too. I only can find the BEx description for the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
It would be great if anyone could tell me how to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Bex Query timestamp InfoObjects does not display time in Webi

A BW InfoObject, defined as NUMC14 (TIMES), will display data like "09/13/2011 13:40:26" in a Bex Analyzer query.
How do you get this type of display in Webi? Currently, my webi report (based on the Bex query connection) displays the field like "09/13/2011 13"

Hello,
any ideas? Any additional information needed?

Report Retrieval Times in BPCv7 SP3 using SQL 2008

General Information: We are a two server environment, one WEB and one SQL, using SQL 2008. We are using BPC v7 SP3. In our devlopment environment, we have selected a handful of reports to use as a benchmark against our production version of Outlooksoft version 4.
Problem: The benchmark reports are taking longer to retrieve in BPC v7 then they are in Outlooksoft version 4 SP9. We have stripped out the dimension formulas, unchecked the INAPP for each dimension property, reset the compatability level in SQL, and removed all data from the facttables in BPC version 7. The initial pull of the report seems to take almost 3 times as long in BPC v7 than in Outlooksoft version 4. Subsequent pulls, changing the date, take less than 15 seconds for the same report.
We are at a stand still trying to figure out why we are experiencing such lengthy retrieval times in the initial pull of a report in BPC version 7.
Additional Info: In our development environment of BPC v7, we currently have only 4 users set up to test. Our Outlooksoft version 4 has a total of 186 users. I don't know the maximium concurrent users we may have at one time.
Question: We are wondering if any other users are experiencing the same issue when they try and retrieve data from a report in BPC version 7? Please share your insight to this problem.

Hi Irene,
It is a big diference of design between 4.x and 7.x.
Into 4.x when you pull data into a report actually you are using PTS from client and you already have the connection and everything from client direct to OLAP server.
In 7.x all the request are going first to application server and the application server is the one taking the data from OLAP and after that data is sent to client.
So first time when you are doing refresh of report into application server it is necessary to create instances for all COM+ components necessary connection etc...and in that case the reports is taking longer.
When you are doing other refresh with the same reports or with other the time for refresh is much faster because already the COM+ instances were created and in this case the reports should be faster than v 4.x
So I suggest to try the follow test.
after login with BPC client just open first a small reports which you know is not taking too long.
After that open your big report. It should retrieve data faster than 4.x or almost the same time.
Also make sure you have all the settings done from Tunning Guide for BPC 5.x ( these settings can be applied also for 7.X)
to be sure that your 7.0 environment is working properly. This tunning guide can be found into bpx/sdn HTG section.
I hope this will help.

Search for display attributes in Web reporting

Hello,
When I execute a query in Excel, in the variable entry screen, I can search values for material, for example, using some display attributes as Colour or Size. I mean, I want to execute the report for materials whose colour is white. I can open the matchcode for Material, I select the value "white" for the Colour display attribute, and I get a list of all the materials with that colour. The report is executed for those materials.
However, when I execute the same report using Web reporting, I don't have the display attributes in the selection screen, to restrict the material. Once the report is executed, in the Navigational block, if I filter the material, there is an option called "Search for display attributes activated", where I can restrict per Colour, but only for one value.
I have two questions related to this topic:
1) Is it possible to have the functionality "Search for display attributes activated" in the variable entry screen, for Web reports, in the same way it is available in the reporting via Excel?
2) Is it possible to configure that functionality, in order to restrict several values for the display attribute at the same time (in my example, for Colours "white", "black" and "red" at the same time)?
Thanks very much for your help
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Looks like you have some new navigational attribute requirements, don't you think? I'm sure that would solve your issue, though maybe you're trying to avoid using navigational attributes (it is usually said that using navigational attributes is slower).
Maybe you can do a test on BEx to check if your query is considerably slower when filtering directly by material code (by filtering on the selection screen using display attributes) or using a navigational attribute.
Match codes on web reporting have lost some functionalities compared to BEx (such as importing a list of values from a file, for instance).

David.
