Drill function implemented on Measure object column in the webi report

Post Author: madan kumar
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi,
I have a small issue in my project.(Maintenance Project)I created a measure object in the fact table of the existing universe and saved and exported to the repository. (Say Measure object is D where D = A-(B+C))I inserted the same object as a column between two measure objects columns of a existing WebI report.
The report has two hierarchies involved - each hierarchy has dimension objects involved.I have checked with the hierarchies to make sure that measure object is not involved.The scope of analysis is None for the query.Version is BO XI R2.
The issue is the Drill function is implemented on that particular new column.The drill function should be applicable only to the two dimension objects involved in the report.But this measure object column is also getting drilled once the Drill option is selected.I had to remove the drill optiion from the Measure object column.
Can anyone help me on this issue...
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your reply. I did the date diff on the columns. It does not break into 3 different groups. I am using a function called previous on the date column. So the report is like this
    DATE                           Pervious (DATE)                 Date - Pervious(DATE)
01-01-2008 01:06              Null
01-01-2008 01:12              01-01-2008 01:06               :06
01-01-2008 01:18              01-01-2008 01:12               :06
01-01-2008 01:24              01-01-2008 01:18               :06
01-01-2008 01:30             01-01-2008 01:24              :06
01-01-2008 01:36             01-01-2008 01:30               :06
Basically we are breaking on the Date - Previous ( Date) column which does not work. I am not sure if there is a way to break this. I even tried it in Crystal REports XI and it does not work their either. Any help with this issue with be greatly appriciated.

How to disable drill option for one column in the WebI Report

Hi,
How to disable drill option in a column in WebI?
When the Drill option is enabled by default all the column in the report will have that enabled,
I ahve added Hierarchy in the Custom hierarhcy list in Universe.
I am using BOXI3.1 WebI Reports.
But I wanted only the hierarchy column to have that drill option enabled, rest all column should display text data.
PLease let me know if you have any idea.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Cretae the variable at the report level (may be with the same definiton) and then use that variable in the table
to disable the drill. It will be displayed as normal text object.
Drill functionality is enabled only on the objetcs coming from the universe.

Rohit

May I see you have 6 inputs to your Mathscript Node. When you test it in Matlab I suposse that you're using some values for this inputs and everything work as expected. Then, run it in Labview using highlight execution, retaining wire values and using single stepping. Check the values which are being inserted to your Mathscript Node and ensure that they are correct. You're having an "indexes out of bounds" mistake, so it probably means that there is something wrong with the inputs according to your expectations. You can also put the MathScript alone in another VI and insert the inputs you're expecting manually and check in the same way.
Good luck!

Max number of columns in a Webi report

In a worst-case scenario test, I requested about 1700 columns in a Webi report, but only a little more than 300 appeared in the SQL; a TOAD request for the same 1700 columns was successful. Is there an upper limit for the number of objects that can appear in a Webi report? Is there a parameter that could increase the limit?

My eyes read the first half and my brian assumed the second half.
I dont think there is a limitaion on the number of objects that a WebI report can pull.
The only limitation I know of is the maximum number of column that you can display in the report panel; the max number is 100,000.
With the limit on the max number of column diplay in a WebI report can be translated into the max number of columns in the query panel.

Objects used in a Webi Report

Hello Friends,
I need to identify all the Webi reports in BI 4.1 that use a particular object from the universe. I have never used RESTful Web Services SDK before, Does anyone have a sample code that I could use as a starting point to get this info?
Regards,
-CF

Hi Chris,
I guess you wont find someone posting a complete sample for your question.
The task itself is not that complex and can be achieved with the REST webservices.
Basically you need to use the webservice endpoints for the semantic layer and the web intelligence sdks - usually http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/sl/v1 and http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1
With the semantic layer you fetch the universes
     - <slURL>/universes
then the universe details with the outline
     - <slURL>/universes/5808
There you can identify the object and then use the webi sdk to fetch all documents
     - <webiURL>/documents?offset={offset}&limit={limit}
iterate through them and get the list of dataproviders
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders
then the dp details
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders/{dataProviderId}
There you go with all the information you need.
Hope this helps

I created a view on EKPO and EKBE.Here,based on the BELNR(Material document) field we are taking GR and IR values.(When VGABE =1 BELNR=GR and VGABE = 2 BELNR=IR).I created DSO to load the data.The problem is they need the GR and IR as separate columns in the BEx report.Could u please help me how to achieve this in BI?
Thanks & Regards,

How can I add extra tick-box columns to the Evaluation report template?

Is there a simple way to add additional tick-box columns to the evaluation report template? I want to have a column for every day of the week.

Are you part of a class project? We've just had another query on this template.
+Menu > View > Show Ruler/Invisibles+
The "columns" are just boxes and text aligned with tabs.
Select all of them and slide the tabs on the ruler across to tighten up the spacing.
Add more tabs to the ruler by clicking on the ruler where you want them, then right clicking on the Tab markers to change them to the type you want.
Copy and paste extra copies of the +tabs plus box+ in each line.

Drill in feature in SAP BOBj Design Studio to Webi Report

Hello Guru's ,
do you know if one can drill in to Webi report from Sap BOBJ design studio ..just like dashboard to webi.
i cant seem to find it anywhere.
P.s: moderator can you move this thread to the right discussion if i posted it in the wrong form.

Hi Veronika,
First you have to identify what are your variables on the WEBI prompt. If you have created the WEBI report based on a BEX Query, the variable names would be the BEX variable technical names.
Then you just have to add &lsS<VARIABLENAME>=<VALUE> at the end of the URL string.
For example:
&lsSENTITY= VALUE
&lsSTIME = VALUE
&lsSACCOUNT = VALUE
So the test URL would be: http://servername:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Afkcg9PzltNKtz7LEzNGHdY&NAII=N&lsSENTITY=VALUE&lsSTIME=VALUE
&lsSACCOUNT=VALUE
To get BPC configured you have to follow these steps:
Go to the Administration Client -> Application -> Drill Throughs -> Add Drill Through
Name your new Drill Throug and on the second screen type in:
URL: http://servername:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Afkcg9PzltNKtz7LEzNGHdY&NAII=N
URL Parameters // Mapping Source // Property/Value
lsSENTITY           // ENTITY                 // ID
lsSTIME               // TIME                     // ID
lsSACCOUNT      // ACCOUNT           // ID
Hope it helps!

Group by function in a measure object

Hi All,
I am trying to create a measure in universe which is the sum of ticket amount group by country. like,
sum(Payments.Ticket_Amount) group by country name. When i place this measure in a report group footer it should display the sum to that particular group. But it is not working.
Could anybody help me how to write a group by function to create a measure.
Thanks,
swati.

Hi swati.
You don't need to write the GROUP BY statement at the universe level.
The universe knows that aggregate functions require group by statements and will group the aggregate measure objects by whatever dimension objects are included in the query. If you have a measure object that is not based on an aggregate but has a projection of Sum, it will only be aggregated at the report level once the data has been returned by the query.
Measure: sum(sales_fact.value)
Measure: sales_fact.price
Dimension: country_dim.country
This would generate SQL along the lines of:
SELECT sales_fact.price, country_dim.country, sum(sales_fact.value)
FROM sales_fact, country_dim
WHERE sales_fact.country_key = country_dim.country_key
GROUP BY sales_fact.price, country_dim.country
Hope that clears it up for you.
Regards,
Mark

Data of measure is not seen in webi report when drill is disabled

Hi
i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
the problem is that i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
the object on which im drilling is set as a section in the report
so i have added a measure in the table under that section
now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different measure
for all other level of drilling
every thing is working fine but the problem is
when i open report in view mode
the measure data is not seen
only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
i have done something like thi
i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

Dynamic Drill Down Column wise in Webi Report

Hi All,
I need to have dynamic drill down functionality in my webi report.
For example
I have Columns;
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Plant, No. of PO line (4 columns).
Drill down on Plant level.
When i click on plant a new column should be added in webi report.
Now my report should look like this;
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Plant, Buyer, No. of PO line (5 columns)...(New column Buyer is added)
How to do this.
Please help me guys.
Thanks in advances!!!
Regards,
Gaurav Nayar

Hi,
What you want is possible as long as the table formatting you have helps.
What you can do is add a column to the table. Then use the following formulas
Formula in Column Name Cell:
=If(Drillfilters([Plant])="") Then "" Else Nameof([Buyer])
Formula in Column Values Cell:
=If(Drillfilters([Plant])="") Then "" Else ([Buyer])
Now, what I meant by "as long as your table formatting you have helps" is that, you need to change the border colors of the extra column to match with the report blank area, means the borders should be white in colour and the column width should be autofit and they wont be visible as they are white, once you drill on plants, the values come up.
So if your table has no border, that will be perfect.
Hope this helps.

Calculate number of columns dinamically in webi report

Hello,
I have the following problem.
I have to develop a report, that it has to show a table that their columns have to be data intervals, and their rows have to be diferent rates.
Example.
29/01/2011
30/01/2012
31/01/2013
01/02/2014
29/01/2012
30/01/2013
31/01/2014
23/03/2014
Capital
200
300
400
500
Amortization
20
10
30
30
Interest
2
2
5
4
Fees
0
0
0
0
The report has 3 prompts: Start Period Date, End Period Date and Periodicity
Where Start Period Date and End Period Date are the interval of dates
and Periodicity can be one of that values "Annual", "Semiannual", "Quarterly", "Monthly", "Weekly" and "Daily"
In the example table the promts are:
Start Period Date: 29/01/2011 (see it in the first column, first row)
End Period Date: 23/03/2014 (see it in the last column, second row)
Periodicity: "Annual"
The problem is how to calculate dinamically (in execution report time) the number of columns to show in the report and their intervals dates.
The facts view has the following structure (the BBDD is sql server):
View: loans_schedule
Columns:
loan_id --> id to another view named loans that contains all the credit operations.
reference --> id of one reference in the operation
maturity_date --> date
Capital --> rate
Amortization --> rate
Interest --> rate
Fees --> rate
Ex of view data (note that the report has to aggregate by maturity_date in the date intervals of the report table):
Loan_id
Reference
Maturity_date
Capital
Amortization
Interest
Fees

View: loans
loan_id --> link with loan_id of loans_schedule view
internal_reference --> id of the operation
reference --> 1 internal reference can have 1 or N references
Operation beginning date --> when operation starts
Operation end date --> when operation ends
The problem is how can generate dinamically the number of columns and agregate the rates into each column.
I have achieved to generate dinamically the number of columns by creating a table (isolated in the universe) that has a dimension and its values are a sequence the numbers (from 1 to 1000) and this let me to show dinamically the number of columns regarding the interval of dates introduced by the user through the report promts.
The problem is when I try to agreegate the rates information to show in the corresponding column...
I do the following formula:
     if maturity_date between (Column_Start_Date and Column_End_Date) then
          [Rate]
     else
          0
But this returns always 0, and I think that the cause is that the table that I use for calculating the columns are not linked with my facts view.
When I drag the "Maturity_Date" to the table that has the columns dinamically, Webi tells me that the objects are incompatible.
Can you help me?
Note: it is posible to add columns to the views if it helps to solve the problem.
Thanks
Pilar

Hi,
There are no direct oracle function that could be used to get the desired results.
However you could try using something like
SELECT COUNT( *)
FROM
(SELECT ROWNUM RNUM
FROM ALL_OBJECTS
WHERE ROWNUM <= TO_DATE('&1') - TO_DATE('&2') + 1
WHERE TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('&2') + RNUM - 1, 'DY') NOT IN('SAT', 'SUN');
Give the two date ranges that you want to look for with the highiest one first. i.e say for example - 01-FEB-2011 to 31-DEC-2010 would give the working days in JAN. However note that you might have to check for holidays related to that country/region (which could be added as a seperate table).
If you need to get an extra day in addition to the weekends, please give the dates accordingly
SQL> SELECT COUNT( *)
2 FROM
3 (SELECT ROWNUM RNUM
4 FROM ALL_OBJECTS
5 WHERE ROWNUM <= TO_DATE('01-FEB-2011') - TO_DATE('01-JAN-2011') + 1
6 )
7 WHERE TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2011') + RNUM - 1, 'DY') NOT IN('SAT', 'SUN');
COUNT(*)

Retrieving Object Names from a WEBI report

Hello,
I have to couple of Webi reports assigned to an universe. Can anyone tell me if there is a option to get the different universe objects, which are used in each Webi report query via JSP. I couldn't find a helpful method in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Services API, which would prodive this function.
Please provide steps to follow how could I get these used objects.
Thanks in advance,
