Downlod bex query in xml

Hi all,
I need to download a bex query in xml format.
How can do it?

Hi Gianmarco,
I dont think it is possible with Bex query. However you can have a look at this doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6765a990-0201-0010-4e97-8aca85883914

How to parse BEX Query data to Flex interface via XML

Hi,
How can we pass the Bex Query data in XML tabular format so it can be consumed by a Flex interface?
And communicate back and forth.

I did configured STS and SAP Authentication tab on CMC.
Please advise
Thank you!!!

Hi Satish,
we did generated keystore and certificate , as said predefined connection works, but SSO option running into error.
we successfully configured AD SSO Kerberos , once we configure SNC, will do testing again and let you know. STS configuration steps also done.
Thanks,

Error MDDataSetBW.GetCellData on Qaaws if BEx Query contains a structure

Hi everybody!
I'm getting an error every time I executy a query on a universe based on a BEx query which contains a structure. This query works good if it carries data, but when no data is returned I get the following error:
Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData.
By the way testing the MDX in MDXTEST it display no errors, only the empty dataset.
After doing a few tests I can assume this issue is related to the use of a structure in the query.
Have you got any solutions/suggestions please?
Thanks

Ciao Roberto,
thank you very much. Actually I wasn't using the "xml document" mode in MDXTEST, and switching to that analysis I've got this message: "Object MEASURE 0 not found". But the MDX is like this:
SELECT { [D9S9GS5IZK94F9FA2E29EF6DU].[D9S9GS5IZK9W3VR1DXHVGUKNM] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( { [0CALYEAR].[2010], [0CALYEAR].[2011] } , [D9S8VDQFWXBZTTTIT5KETFV2Q].MEMBERS ), [0VTYPE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PLANT].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, [0VTYPE].[20VTYPE] ON ROWS FROM [ZCEMPBC/ZCEM_GENERAL_YTD] SAP VARIABLES [!V000001] INCLUDING [ZBUSINESS].[GCEM] [!V000002] INCLUDING [0COUNTRY].[DK] [ZCUR_SEL] INCLUDING 1
So, I don't understand that message. What "MEASURE 0" stands for?
Thanks.

Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

Dear all,
I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
would rise exponentially).
In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax.
Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
M.

Hi Ingo,
1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
2) Another question is:
Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
For example:
Instead of this:
<FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
        <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
    </CONDITION>
</FILTER>
Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Leaf Node access in a BW OLAP Universe - BEX Query

How we can gain access in an universe to just the lowest leaf node in an bex query with hierarchies. If an infoobject has a hierarchy that is ragged, I just want to display that lowest level with a value.
Is there an MDX work around
An example is cost center or account which may be many levels.
The goal is to create a universe such that in webi or explorer, the user has to deal with one field for cost center or account and not 7 levels for each which make it very hard for the end user.
In this case the hierarchy is not important.

Hi,
I assume that you want to say XML traces rather than SQL traces.
We provide SQL for relational databases and SAP BW Infocubes/DSO through Data Federator.
The MDX generated contains only the characteristics and key figures selected in the Query Panel.
However, there were an issue where all key figures were taken into account by SAP BW server even if not all have been selected.
This issue has been fixed in a fix pack (I don't remember which one).
Regards
Didier

The SSO works correctly on Analysis for OLAP.
The Authentication used is the SAP authentication.
Thanks.
Andrea

That's what we're doing in our 4.1 instance as well.
After a lot of troubleshooting, it looks like our problem is related to the SSO set up itself. We set the OLAP Connection to Pre-defined, entered the SAP credentials of one of our developers, then saved the connection. We were able to refresh existing reports and create new reports without any issues. We changed the OLAP connection back to SSO and received the same error message as in OP when we tried to select a BEx query.
I'm going to go through the entire SSO set up again. There was a BW hotfix applied throughout our environments, thinking it might have messed something up.

WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to use the WebElements when creating a report on a BW source (BEx) query. I have used WebElements quite a lot on non-SAP sources and works like a charm. Now I would like to use it on a SAP environment, but the controls are not displaying, only the HTML text.
Can anyone provide some insight to whether the WebElements are compatible on a SAP environment in Crystal or s there something special that needs to be done here.
Thanks
Jacques

Dear Jamie & Jacques,
Is there any news regarding this issue? I'm having the same issue here. I'm using BW datasource. My BOE, Crystal Report 2008, and Integration Kit are all on SP3 (with no FP applied yet).
All the WebElements components are shown as HTML tag.
But actually when i tried to remove the Datasource, the WebElements also don't show up. I've followed up all the instructions on the WebElements guide, and on the SDN link below.
I added WECalculator and WEBuilder using formula syntax below to the report. But they only show up as HTML tag.
Formula @calc (component WECalculator)
WECalculator ("number", "0", "Integer", "Enter an Integer value.")
Formula @builder (component WEBuilder)
stringvar allelements:= {@calc};
WEBuilder(allelements, 1)
I've done everything as per the guide and SDN link below:
browser interpretation
[Interpreting WebElements in the browser;
1) ensure that Can Grow is not checked on for the formulae that contain any webelements.
done
2) ensure that the formula in the designer is only 1 line in height...these 2 are required to make pass through html work in the viewers
done, i insert the 2 formulas to report and it appears as 1 single line.
3) the web server should be restarted after making the change to the web.xml file
done
if the above don't work please provide some more info such as
a) which version of business objects enterprise you are using
BOE, Crystal Report, and Integration Kit all on SP3. Below are the installation files i used (downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace).
Server
1. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 (ENTERPRISE03_0-10007443.EXE)
2. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Server installation
Client
1. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Client installation
2. Crystal Report 2008 v1 (SP3) Win Server on IA32 32bit Full Build (51038906.ZIP)
b) what viewer are you using
I ran the rpt file (saved without using .rpt extension) through InfoView.
c) does the select menu show up in the crystal reports designer html preview mode
It only shows up as HTML tag as well in the Crystal Report designer HTML preview mode.
Please help me.

=IF((A2-B2)>0,ABS(A2-B2),0)
I'm trying multiple times to reproduce this in BEX Query designer, unfortunately I'm getting a bad result or unacceptable formula.
Anyone who could help me with my issue?
Thanks,
Arnold

Error while trying to Open and Delete a BEx Query in Query Designer.

Hi Experts,
I have been facing this issue with BEx Query in Designer mode for a couple of days now in Development Environment in BI 7.0.
I would like to Delete an unwanted BEx Query because I need to give it's name to another BEx Query.
Whenever I try to Open this Query in BEx Query Designer to Delete, it gives out an error saying:
"An error occurred while communicating with the BI server.
As a result of this error, the system has been
disconnected from the BI server.
Detailed Description:
STOP: Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
STOP: System eror in program CL_RSR and form GET_CHANMID-01 - (see long text)"
Details text is as below:
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
I have tried with SAP Note 899572, but still it's the same.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Could you please let me know if you have better ideas or solution?
Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Arun - Thanks a million. You saved me Nine. It worked.
Could you also please tell me how to rename (Technical) a Query or is it still "Save the Query As" the only way...?
Points already assigned.
Thanks,

Field Explorer in Crystal Reports does not show the same names as Bex Query

Hi
I have crystal reports, I can retrieve data from BW Bex Query. But in the field explorer it does not show the names as in the Bex query designer.
In the Bex query designer a field will have the following technical name 0Debitor and the description is Customer.
It shows in crystal reports in the field explorer twice as D[0DEBITOR]D and D[0DEBITOR]D. It also does not seperate key figures and characteristics.
I would like it to display the field explorer as shown in this blog.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
take a look here:
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
make sure you are using the MDX Driver and what happens is that you will see several fields per characteristic. example: one for the key, one for the description, several if modelled for the display attributes

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

Status of data in Bex query shows wrong date

Dear Experts,
The Bex qurey after sucessful execution, show the Status of data as old date i.e. feb 2012. but we observed that the data uplaod happens regularly and sucessful.
we tried executing the same query using RSRT/Bex Analyzer/Portal. the results are same i.e. showing incorrect status of data.
Note: The Bex query is built on BI Infoset which sources from DSOs and Master Data infoobjects, and BI version is 7.0.
Kindly please help for resolving the issue.
Best Regards,
Mannu.

Hi Vijay,
The data upload has happend today also and it is sucessful, the reporing status is available for requests from respective infoproviders.
'Status of data' is not a filed. if it an information to tell the status of data in query result.
Please find the following steps to find the 'status of data'
go to RSRT->give the query name and execute-> now after query results-> go to last page-> you can find the 'status of data'.
Best Regards,
Mannu
