Dynamice Prompt in Webi Report

Hi,
Is it possible to create dynamic prompt in Webi Report at Report Level.
Regards,

Ok if i get your question right: you want to create a date dimension in webi as a variable and use it as a prompt is it ? then NO. ur date dimension from example has to come as a universe object. bcos prompt is always at the query panel level and variables created at he report level are not visdible here.
Thanks,

Combined Prompt Crashes WebI Report

Hi,
We are on BO 4.1 SP2 Patch 1.
I have a WebI report that has only one query. In that query I have three prompts, I combined two of them with exact same text, same parameter ( e.g Keep last values selected, do not show list of value...etc.).
Now I refresh the report, everything is okay. I select values for two prompts and refresh goes well. Then I refresh again, select a different value for the combined prompt. Refresh, then get error message saying
"An internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)(WIS 30270)"
I close the window. Hit refresh button again, now I see the prompts window with three prompts instead of two.
It seems combined prompt is not working and makes the report crash. I wonder if it's a product defect? Anyone came across this situation before? Your suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you!
Kan

Hi Sathish,
You are right. Two prompts are with different LOV's.
Now I separate them to two different prompts but I still see the error message "An internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)(WIS 30270)".
Is it possible that this report has been corrupted hence after separating prompts doesn't do the trick?
Thank you!

BEx Variable Key/Name swap when used as Prompt in WebI report

Hi,
We are using Bex Variables in a Query used as a base for a BOBJ Universe and Query.
When refreshing the report the Prompt box displays the Name and Key of the infoobject (Dimension), but when selecting one of those values - moving it to the right, it brings across the Name not Key.
Our requirement is that the Key is selected value rather than the name - is this possible? And if so how?
Netweaver 2004S & Business Objects XI 3.0.
Regards,
Laurence

Ingo,
Thanks, I understand this in the background the Key is used, but is there any way to "swap" the Key and Name in the Prompt box, specifically my users want the Key to display in the right hand side of the Prompt bax when selecting, (or in the dropdown box, in the Prompt tab in WebI)
Best Regards,
Laurence

One Webi Report with multiple Cascade Prompts

HI
I have a requirement to create Cascading prompts on WebI reports. I have two questions.
1) Can one Webi report have two or more sets of Cascading prompts.
2) The universe is used by several groups of business useres. But only one group needs to have a Cascade prompts. Therefore, if i create Cascading prompts on Universe what is the impact to other business users who dont want the prompts as cascading prompts.
Please provide me this information.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the repoly. Can you please provide me more information.
I understand that I need to do following steps.
1. copy existing universe as universe II.
2. link Universe II to Universe 1.
3. Create cascade prompts on Universe II.
4. Provide access to Business group with the requirement of cascade prompts to Universe II and rest of the groups to Universe I.
Please let me know if my understanding is right.

Analysis Office vs Webi report ---Bex query Data mismatch

I have one Bex query.
I insterted the query in Analysis office for Microsoft edition, and its pulling 985 records, but when i inserted the bex query in Webi report its pulling only 27 records. Any body faced similar problem, explain the solution..?
Using BICS connction for webi report development.
Environment: BI 4.1 SP5
Anlaysis office version : 1.4 SP10

Hi Ingo,
If we make it database delegated then the Webi query returns no results. (Blank results). Moreover there is no exception aggregation
We have tried the following and getting the result correctly,
In the Bex Query We had a Time variable which was based on SAP exit. We removed the SAP exit variable from Bex Query and restricted the period for atime range.
Then created a Prompt in Webi report for the time
The result is matching.
But still failed to undrstand this because other queries which have SAP exit variables works fine.
Still working around for a convincing solution for this.. Will let you know
Thanks and Regards

SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

Hi,
I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
Below are the settings that I had done:
Setting of Characteristic in BW:
Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
Example data:
Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Edison Wang

WebI report based on Universe upon SAP BEx Queries:Prompt issue

Hi,
I am creating Web Intelligence report using Universe based on SAP Bex Queries. In WebI report I created a filter condition as I need to run report based on two specidc dates. I need to schedule report to run 2nd of every month to show data for last month. At present I have the following filter : date between 'Start Date' and 'End Date'. 'Start Date' should always be 'first date of previous month' and End Date be always must be 'Last date of previous Month'. How to do this. The solution I thought would be to create variables at report/universe level ('first date of previous month' and 'Last date of previous Month') and use in the filter using 'Object from this Query' option.But this 'Object from this Query' option is missing in the prompt.Is there any work around to achieve this.? Could you please help me.
Nanda Kishore

Hi all,
I have a related question too.
I have 2 queries and need a Combined BEx query written on this for reporting. (WebI)
In the 2 queries, there is a Field which needs to be restricted.
But this field should not be restricted in the Combined BEx query.
So I thought of restricting the Field at the report level. But in this case, the user gets a prompt to enter a value for the field.
And this is not desirable as per the requirement.
COuld you please tell me if there is another way of handling this without the user being prompted to enter a value while the report is being run, but still I need selection at the Field level.
Thanks and Regards,

SAP BO 4.1 Webi report sample with prompts to try Restful api

I was not able to find, in the report demo samples available in the SAP BO 4.1 installation, a Webi report with prompts.
I found many Webi reports samples but all are without prompts.
I need at least one Webi report sample with prompts to try the Restful API http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/parameters and http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/schedules with parameters body.
Where can I found such webi sample?
Thanks,
Riccardo

As you have BI 4.1 installed, you could design a sample webi report using Webi Rich Client tool.
Open Webi rich client, select the sample eFashion universe drag few objects in the query and a filter. Set the filter as a prompt and save the report to Enterprise.
Now you could now use this sample report for your handson on REST SDK.

Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

can we generate one report tab which filters
with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

Hi Shrinidhi ,
It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

How to restrict values of Dimensions in Webi report prompt

Hi
I need to create a WebI report for a set of Business users. We have several thousands of Agencies. Business Users want to see only the agencies they work with (about 100) in the prompt. This way they need not go through thousands of agencies they dont work with. I tried to use List Of Values option but that didnt give me desired result. Please let me know how to restrict values in prompt to few values from the n number of values available in database.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there is no such step-by-step!
I would encourage you to consult documentation and search for terms 'row level restriction' in the help guides.
Practice makes perfect
Good luck
