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.

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.

Greenplum and Web Intelligence (LaunchPad problem)

Hi All,
I have a report that displays well in WEBI Rich Client, but when I open it in LaunchPad, the values of my measure show as '#DATATYPE'.
WEBI Rich Client:
BI LaunchPad:
I am using BI Platform 4 and my source database is Greenplum. ODBC drivers are Postgre 9 on the client (Win 7 64-bit) and DataDirect 7.1 Greenplum Wire Protocol on the server (RHEL 6).
Please help.
Thanks and best regards,
Ron

Hello Ron,
Greenplum 4.2 itself is not support. More over, you need to have the proper middleware used.

Issue between BW Query and Web Intelligence - CPIC-CALL 'THSAPCMRCV'

Hi all
Receiving the current error when trying to connect BW to BusinessObjects via SAP Integration kit
The error occurs whenever I put more than one dimension in the query. If I put just one dimension, the query will run successfully. I've checked and implemented SAP Note 1032461 but it does not seem to have solved the issue.
BusObj version is 3.1 Service Pack 3, Fix Pack 3.4
Business Warehouse version is 7.01
The complete error message is
A database error occured. The database error text is: Failed to execute MDX query. Reason: Error occurred when starting the parser: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'. (WIS 10901)
Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Ingo.
Thanks for your assistance, I double checked the work our Basis Guy did and he installed the Unicode 32bit pack, rather than the non unicode 64 bit pack. It now works.
Thanks very much for your help

Error when using defined object in Universe in Web Intelligence

Hi all
I create universe connect from Infocube
I create a new Object named "Sale Value" to get YTD of Object name "SS Total value of the invoice lin" with code following
<EXPRESSION>SUM(YTD(@Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line)))</EXPRESSION>
I parse to check systax "OK".
But when I run query and using above defined object in Web Intelligence, I get error following
<<
Query 1 - ZTHP_TEST001
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[384E7D57-FBC9-45A4-BD,4B,1D,D2,D4,41,47,7E] AS ' SUM([Measures].[ZSGROSS_L]) ' SELECT { [Measures].[ZSVOLUME], [Measures].[384E7D57-FBC9-45A4-BD,4B,1D,D2,D4,41,47,7E] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY { Descendants( [ZPRODUCT ZPRODUCT_HIER].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS, [ZPRODUCT ZPRODUCT_HIER].[LEVEL09], LEAVES) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION ON ROWS FROM [$ZIB_02] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with ). (WIS 10901)
>>
I check MDX PARSER connection in SM59 sucessfull
I am beginer of Universe and Web Intelligence, please help me solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
The MDX parser in the universe designer just check the XML Tags or Syntax. It does not validate the expression.
The YTD, QTD, MTD functions in the universe designer requires a reference to a predefined time chararcteristics eg. 0CALMONTH etc. So the correct expression would be similar to the below expression:
<EXPRESSION> SUM(YTD([0CALMONTH].CurrentMember), @Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line))</EXPRESSION>
Also you need to add the time characteristics in the result set.

Rohit

Logon failed error when launching Web Intelligence from InfoView

After changing the Web Intelligence preferences in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Java InfoView to launch the desktop or rich client option, I get a "logon failed" error message. However, when I launch Web Intelligence Rich Client from 'Start > Programs >...' directly, the same logon information is successful. The logon is set to use Enterprise authentication which is the same logon information used to launch InfoView and Web Intelligence.
Why does the logon fail when I launch Web Intelligence from InfoView?
Edited by: Ana on Mar 31, 2009 3:43 PM

I deleted the report completely and rebuilt it from scratch, and also added names for the data table and data set generated within the project and finally, success!
Jason, thanks so much for your help which got me moving on this again.

How To Guide : Impact of a BEx query change to universes and WebI document

Ever wondered about the impact of a BEx query change to your universes and Intelligence documents ? "If I change this, will I need to refresh the universe structure ? will my Web Intelligence documents break ?". This article aims at clarifying these questions for Web Intelligence documents that use OLAP Universe(s) based on BEx query(ies). More specifically, it clarifies which BEx query change does impact Universes and Web Intelligence documents and which one is transparent to them.
The first part of this article provides a summary table. The second part explains what to do to make the universe and Web Intelligence documents reflect the BEx query change. And finally, it covers each change scenario in details with more explanation and screen shots.

Hi Rajesh J Salecha,
What I understood is like :
You have two queries and both gives same results but one of the query having a parameter.
You have one report which is using query1. Now you want that report to be copied as Report2 and use Query2 instead of Query1.
If the this is the issue, then you copy Report1 as Report2 and go in Database and change the Data source location to Query2.
Hope this will help you. If my understanding is wrong then give us the work flow.
Thanks,

Crystal Reports, Web Intelligence, or Net Weaver?

I am putting togeher a plan to create better reporting for a 50 seat user deployment that currently has SAP BW deployed.
Netweaver is up and running, but is clugey. I heard Crystal Reports is easier to work with. I also heard Web Intelligence allows more end-user capabilities, like querying. I expect our users to really hit the system hard once properly trained.
Thoughts?

Hi Jeff,
what kind of reporting are you looking to dpeloy ?
Crystal Reports is Enterprise reporting type and Web Intelligence is an Ad-Hoc reporting tool.
let me know what you looking for

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).
Regards,
jiyyana

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,
John

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:

<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"/>

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>

u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
</ FontFinder>
< FontFinder2>

u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
</ FontFinder2>
-- Under the u2018font_aliasingu2019 section
<font_aliasing>
<T1>
u2026u2026u2026u2026.
</T1>
<TTF>
u2026..

<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.

Sarbhjeet Kaur

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
