Dynamic Filter in Web Intelligence

Hi!!!
I need help about one issue. Let me explain my problem:
I have a webi report, this report contain the sales by day. The problem is that my variable of day contains values from current month, last month and month of las year. Example:
01.04.2010
01.3.2011
01.04.2011
02.04.2010
02.03.2011
02.04.2011
My variable of day has this behavior because i need to compare the sales of current month vs las month and current month of last year.
The measure that has the sales is database delegated.
In other view of my report, i need to show only the sales of current month, but when in my webi report filter the sales with the condition "is not null" (to hide the information about last year and last month) the intersaction between day and sales show me the following message:
01.04.2011
Sales: #NOT AVAILABLE
I really need to reach this behavior, but i dont know how to do to work my filter.
Someone can help me please?????
Ruddy Alvarado.
I am using BO XI 3.1 SP3

Yes, let me explain the reason because sales have to be database delegated.
In my case sales is not the sum of quantity of productos bought by a customer, sales is like a indicator that show me if customer bought or doesnt bought.
For example David is my customer and i sell 3 types of products: A, B and C.
Date 12.04.2011 David bought product A and B and 13.04.2011 David bought just product C.
In my report if i want to analyze sales by day and customer i have to have the following result:
*****Date 12.04.2011 and customer Dave
            Sales = 1
*****Date 13.04.2011 and customer Dave
            Sales = 1
In my report if i want to analyze sales by day and type of produc i have to have the following result:
*****Date 12.04.2011 and customer Dave
            Sales Product A= 1
            Sales Product B= 1
*****Date 13.04.2011 and customer Dave
            Sales Product C= 1
Can you see my point??
In date 12.04.2011 i cant do a sum if i am analyzing sales by customer because if i do a sum dave show me a sales of 2.
The only way that i found for this behavior is to use database delegated.
I will wait for your answer.

Dynamic variables in Web Intelligence

Hi Team,
I am new BO reports. Have already worked on Crystal reports XI. With that knowledge, I have started working in BO web Intelligence reports.
I am able to create a universe and able to create a sample WebI report using the universe.
SQL viewer shows
SELECT
COLUMN1, column2,column3 etc..
FROM
TABLE1
Parallel to this activity, we have designed a java application to generate this report with some dynamic join conditions, query parameters and order_by clauses.
Using @variable('name') did not work.
Please suggest me on this
Thanks in advance,
Kathirvel V

Hi ,
We can create a WebI Report having seperate Report Tab for each customer and filtering the data based on the Customer using RE SDK.
So once the report is created and exported to CMS then it can be scheduled to Excel format.
But here the Number of of customers reduce or increase, then the Number of tabs may not reduce or increase when the document is refreshed.
So this will work only for creation and schedule in that same time.
Thanks & Regards

Dynamic Tabs in Web Intelligence

Hi Experts
I have the following database tables:
Customer
Product
Sales
Region
I am generating a detail report in BO XI R2 WebI and have to schedule and ave it in .xls format. The final output, i.e the workbook should contain multiple worksheets, each for one costomer. The number of customer is dynamic. If the number of customer is 90 then I have to develop a report so that the workbook will have 90 worksheets. If the number of customers increase to 100, then the workbook will have 100 worksheets.
Can any one help me to find the solution for the requirement?
Thanks in Advance

Dynamic filter to capture the highest value at runtime.

Hi,
Is there a way through which we can have a dynamic filter in Webi, which would automatically filter the maximum value from a list of values associated with a dimension object?
I have the following scenario :- I have a dimension object called 'Plan Version', whose list of values would typically be 00, 01, 02, 03.....and so on. These values are updated in the database after every 15 days. Now, in my report, i need to display the data which would be associated only to the highest 'Plan Version' value. This requires me to apply a filter on the highest value of 'Plan Version', which is not a difficult job to do if it has to be a static filter. However, I need it to be a dynamic filter, i.e., every time a new plan version is uploaded in the system, and if the report is refreshed, the report filter should automatically select (highlight) the highest value for 'Plan Version' and display the data accorsingly. One way would be to use the 'Max' function, but aggregate functions cannot be used in filters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alok.

Hey Alok,
You're correct, using Max(). But you have to apply/use it @Universe level not @Query panel.
Create Object @Universe:
Plant version = Max([Plant Version]) and make it as Dimension type.
Now use this Plane version object for Prompt @ Query level. So that it will fetch max value for the Plant Version all times.
Hope you got the logic.
Gracias...!!

Passing Dynamic Filter values to Web template in VC

Hi Experts,
Iam working with a Web Template (which is created using WAD) in Visual Composer Model
I have an input screen ( Variables Form )in VC Iview which has Fiscal Year, Quarter, week and other input fields which need to be entered by a user.
This variables are passed to a couple of queires. Also i have a requirement to pass the same vvariable values to Web template also ( WAD)
I have created a HTML iview in VC Dashboard.and in URL i gave the below URL which is working fine
"pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=YWEB_PLANNING_ADLAYOUT_2"
But i wanted the template to be executed with filter values also
in the actual template i have 4 filters which user needs to enter after the above URL is displayed..
In order to make the template execution dynamic i added the following URL which is not working:
http://Host:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=YWEB_PLANNING_ADLAYOUT_2%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZFISCYEAR%26FILTER_VALUE%3D2009%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZREP_WEEK%26FILTER_VALUE%3D42%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZFISCALQTR%26FILTER_VALUE%3D3%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3ZNSPLITREG%26FILTER_VALUE%3DAS%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZRSKOPP%26FILTER_VALUE%3DR

Refresh of Data in Xcelsius from Web Intelligence Results

Hello,
I am new to the forum but not to Business Objects/Xcelsius. I attended the SAP Sapphire Event last May and spent time in the Business Objects lab. Two Product Managers demonstrated how I would be able to refresh the data in an Xcelsius dashboard using Live Office by retreiving results from a Webi document without refreshing the Webi query.
For example, my Webi document contains 100,000 result rows. I want to be able to select a dropdown in my dashboard and have Live Office retreive only a subset of the 100,000 rows. This being done without having the Webi query being refreshed from the database. The Webi query would be refreshed nightly.
The Product Managers advised that this functionality would be available in Service Pack 3 or before. As of now I cannot find out how to make this work. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Charles,
WebIntelligence Input Controls are a way to enhance and customize user experience with report filters, they are therefore based on report filters and the feature is more focused on user interface & experience rather than exposition outside web intelligence.
Anyway, AFAIK, report filters are not available from Live Office report parts, you can only filter content with prompts, which requires the document to be refresh from the database, which has a direct impact on performance and scalability for consumers.
However, if you are with WebIntelligence XI 3.1 SP2 you have the alternative to publish from WebI Rich Client, report elements (any table or chart) as web services (called BI Services).
This tool is based on Qaaws technology, and share some of its features (main being that is uses the same Xcelsius Data Manager connection), it exposes a large part of WebI interactions to external consumers (esp. Xcelsius) : report filters, drill, prompts.
Besides this tool provides a set of call input parameters to tune web service consumption for best performance and scalability, enabling to leverage WebI document management features like scehduling, publishing and refresh, so consumers can balance performance with real-time data.
More information is available from WebIntelligence Rich Client user documentation from section sharing webi content with other web applications.
I recommend you install the latest fix pack (SP2.5 and above), as some initial fixes were required to ensure full compatibility with Xcelsius.
Hope that helps,
David.

Web Intelligence Report + BI 7.0 Analysis Authorizations

Hello Experts,
I have created a report on a universe based in a SAP BW InfoCube that contains an authorization relevant InfoObject (Company Code).
BW Analysis authorization have been set up for this cube in such way that the user should have access only to data containing one of the two values of Company Code (lets say for example that the user can access value "A").
It seems to be working fine when testing them via a BEx Query or via rsecadmin (rsrt with detailed analysis authorization logs). When the test user tries to view the full contents of the specific cube gets an "access denied" message (this is normal), whereas if the user runs a report with a filter "A" on Company Code the report returns the results as it should have. So far so good.
For testing use within Web Intelligence, I have created the following Single Sign On (SSO) universes: a)directly on the cube, b)via a "select all" query and finally c)via a filtered query (filtering the exact allowed values of analysis authorization of the test user). All of the above have unfortunately the exact same issues:
When a test user with limited analysis authorization (i.e. a user that can only access value "A" of Company Code) tries to view a report on either of these universes, then the result is the following message when trying to execute the query "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error loading cube MyCube/MyQuery (catalog MyCube): Unknown error. (WIS 10901)"
I have tried several settings on the universe (like filter working on LoV as well) but none helped.
If we replace the user's analysis authorizations with full access on company code (values "A" and "B") the query runs as it should have.
Any ideas?
Best regards
Giorgos

Hi,
has the Universe been created on the cube level or on the query level ?
In case it is on the cube level it will fail because :
Analysis authorizations are not based on authorization objects. Instead, you create authorizations that include a group of characteristics. You restrict the values for these characteristics.
The authorizations can include any authorization-relevant characteristics, and treat single values, intervals, and hierarchy authorizations in the same way. Navigation attributes can also be flagged as authorization-relevant in the attribute maintenance for characteristics and can be added to authorizations as separate characteristics.
You can then assign this authorization to one or more users.
All characteristics flagged as authorization-relevant are checked when a query is executed.
*A query always selects a set of data from the database. If authorization-relevant characteristics are part of this data, you have to make sure that the user who is executing the query has sufficient authorization for the complete selection. Otherwise, an error message is displayed indicating that the authorization is not sufficient. In principle, the authorizations do not work as filters. Very restricted exceptions to this rule are hierarchies in the drilldown and variables that are filled depending on authorizations. Hierarchies are mostly restricted to the authorized nodes, and variables that are filled depending on authorizations act like filters for the authorized values for the particular characteristic*

WIH 00013 time out error while viewing a BO Web intelligence report

Hi,
I have a BO web intelligence report. While viewing the report i get WIH 00013 time out error. I have another report with everything same as this one except for one filter condition. That is working fine but former is giving me an error.
I tried changing the timeout values to 120 minutes from 90 minutes in connection server setting but didn't work.
Also when i run the same report by scheduling it in CMC and format as PDF, then it works fine. This error only comes when i try to view the report directly from infoview.
Please let me know if there is any other way to resolve.
Thanks!

Hello all,
I need help for publishing web intelligence document (universe) into InfoView.
can't find this information in Business Objects Designer's Guide and in Business Objects Administrator Guide.
Can somebody give short instructions how can I do it?
Regards, Slava

If the change between the 2 types of data has to happen dynamically during run time them
1. Use 2 dataproviders
a. Current
b. Historic
2. Merge the 2 dimensions
3. Use Webi variable to switch between the measure of the current and historic universe
Ex if [year] < 2010 then historic.[expense] else current.[expense]
Hope this helps,

How to retrieve dynamic filter value submitted from control query to .....

How to retrieve dynamic filter value submitted from control query to broadcast query.....
I'm trying to change the hierarchy version determined by a userexit variable in the broadcast query.
The Hierarchy Version should be dependent on the input filter delivered by the bursting query.
But how do I catch the dynamic filter value which has been submitted by the bursting query,
with other words: where does the bursting query store it's out put while sequentially starting the broadcast query value by value?
BTW: the filter value from the bursting query appears under "dynamic filter values" in the information of the broadcast query...
Any thoughts are welcome!

Further information,
Report is used via webi only, not Xcelsius or Dashboard.
Report is consuming BI Web Services.
Although we can pass in prompt values to BI Services, I couldn't find if we could pass a variable or dimension object into this field. Anyone knows?

Dynamic Filter not being refreshed

I have a problem with a dynamic filter refreshing properly.
In a 7.0 Bex Query, I have a variable where I put in a Sales Rep. Based on the Sales Rep entered ('Z_M1Y_SALESREP04' ), I have a user exit that reads that Sales Rep and goes and gets all their customers:
IF i_step = 2.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range
WITH KEY vnam = 'Z_M1Y_SALESREP04' INTO ls_var.
When I run this for the first time, lets say Sales Rep A, it goes out and gets all the correct customers (shown in the Dynamic Filters of the Information tab). Now, if I change Sales Rep A to Sales Rep B, I am still getting Sales Rep A's customers. Does anyone know why it still shows Sales Rep A's customers?
Thanks,
Patrick

If your using BEx Web for executing this query, try deleting the cache on your browser before re-executing the query with the new Sales Rep. The other thing you may want to consider is adding the following code prior to the READ TABLE statement:
CLEAR: ls_var.
This will ensure that the variable being read into won't have any values in it before it's being populated.

How to setup Data translation in web intelligence reports?

Hi,
The webinar, 'Translation for Web Intelligence XI 3.1 Using Tranlation Manager' was fantastic, however, it only briefly mentions that the data tier is 'handled at the database level within an application through several options'.
What are those options for the data tier, and by the data I mean what is in the database and not in the report prompts or universe?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'll try and be more clear- maybe someone will have done this. Translation Manager is great for translating prompts and universe strings/names. The problem I have is with the data returned by a universe query that is language specific.
Does anyone know how to pass language information so that queries (via the universe) can be language specific? That way I can have the query return the data in the report with language specific data. Otherwise, I suspect that I'll have to return all language data in the query and filter by language using the new function GetContentLocale().
Thanks,
Steve

How to use LOV on a derived table dependent on a prompt for Webi web intelligence view.

The semantic layer has not created a defined LOV for the derived table.   This only happens when pulling columns from derived table which depends on a prompt for unique selection. When pulling from derived table that does not depend on a date prompt does not have an issue in Webi.
I don't know if this is a universe design issue or WEBI.
Webi Rich internet application   selects the date prompt first but if click on Storeno in List it returns a LOV with auto refresh.
Webi Web Intelligence returns List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:   and when you click to refresh webi responds with 'undefined'

Hi…
Can you check Prompt : Store No is created at universe level and defined the syntax correctly
@Prompt(1,2,3,4,5) insert a prompts in SQL. When the user runs the query, the user is prompted to enter a value for a refresh each time.
1 = 'Prompt Text Message'
2 = 'Prompt Type' (i.e. A,N,D,U)
where A= Character, N= Number, D= Date, U= Unit.
3 = 'Class Name/ Object Name'
4 = 'Multi/ Mono'
Multi means Multiple ( Example = 2004,2005,2011)
Mono means Single ( Example = 2012)
5 = Free/Constrain (Type value or select value in LOV/ Select Value)
Example for creating a @prompt filter is below
@Prompt('enter year','A','time period/year', Multi', Free)
Pointer to a “List of Values” from an existing universe object. You invoke the target list of values by double-clicking on the object contain ing the list of values that you want to use in the "Classes and Objects" panel. This gives the Class name and the Object name, separate ed by a backslash. It must be enclosed in single quotes. For example: 'Client\Country'. When you are using “Index Awareness”, and you want to return the key values for an object,set the 5th value to primary_key
• Hard-coded list of single values or value pairs. The values in a pair are separated by a colon. Each value is enclosed in single quotes. The pairs of values are separated by a comma. The whole list is enclosed in curly brackets. Set the constraint to primary_key
