Exclude top 10 in BEx query

Hi Experts,
I need to exclude top 10 from the query result. Creating condition in the query with top 10 is easy but how to exclude the top 10 in the query output? Thanks

Hi Waseem,
Have you tried Ninand Warang procedure . Is it working or not?
If not you have use the APD concept
create a query on top of that infoprovider with out any conditions..
Create A direct update dso..
In APD use Query as source and DSO as target. In between use ABAP program sort them > delete the first 10 records>
Create a query on top of DSO will get the Excluding TOP 10.
Hope it helps..

WebIntelligence report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2)

Dear experts,
I'm working on webi report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2). I would like to know your opinions about some points I have noticed.
A - I need to drill throught a hierarchy which contains several millions of members.
Is there a possibility in my report drilling down to one member without selecting all members of the hierarchy in the query panel ?
B - I cannot put a dimension with hierarchy both in the result pane and in the filter pane, although it is possible for any other dimension without hierarchy.
Is there any special trick to achieve this or is a bug??
C - I cannot sort variables defined in my bex query, but they don't appear in the window to sort prompts.
Do you know how to solve this issue ?
D - I noticed all keys and description of dimensions appear with the same label "key" and "text". SO it is very confusing for the user to understand what key or text means (if a key if the customer key or the company code key).
Any idea to have a more explicit label for BW characteristics?
Regards.
CL.

Hi,
I do not have access to a BW system to test this, but i have something on three of your questions...
A) drilling without getting all the lower members. I would look to query drill, this means a drill action in the report will go to the database to fetch the level (and only for the selected member, a drill down).
The only thing I'm not sure about is if the BEx hierarchy is seen as drill hierarchy by that option too.
If you'd ask me it really should.
C) this is an old problem, but I know it is bugging more people, because the same is true for universe based prompts. They also cannot be 'arranged'. Since the Bex query is the 'universe', ordering that has been set in the 'universe' is the only chance you have.
Like with the universe you could use prefixes to separate them from the query defined prompts (based on an alphabetic sort of the prompt message). I'd say this is a good one for the idea place...
D) also an old (very old actually) problem. Some will want to keep the text short and simple. The prefixing will tell which key it is. Some will prefer unique names, so no prefix is needed. The same was true for universe designers. Now since there is no universe, if you do not agree with the 'designer' you're out of luck no way to change it.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Webi on top of Bex query, maximum of fields 50 limit

Hi there,
I'm creating the Webi Report on top the Bex Query that has 50 characteristics in the row area and around 10 characteristics in Free Characteristics area. (Bex query can't have more than 50 in the Row Area)
When I create the WEbi report, it limits the output to the same 50 characteristics, it means that even though I have 10 more characteristics available from the Free Characteristics Area and I can't add them to the Webi Report.
I'm new to Webi and I didn't know about this limitation of number of fields can be added. Is there a workaround for this case?
Is 50 fields really a limit for Webi Report or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks!

Hi,
Much like BEx, with WebI it is recommended to not have more than 50 dimensions selected into a single OLAP query, otherwise performance will degrade.
I have customer who try to put 80-200 objects into webi query panel and get angry when they can't...
However, this is a silly thing to do. For example, how many people can read tables with 80 columns?
It usually mean that the business requirements aren't being focused enough, and that reports are trying to answer too many flexible u2018ad hocu2019 purposes.
To conclude, it's an u201Cirrelevant testu201D because WebI isnu2019t a u2018data dumpu2019 tool. you should perhaps use a genuine ETL to extract records for hundreds of objects

Custom Filter in Universe on top of BEX Query is not working in BO Explorer?

Hi,
I have created Condition(Filter) for an Dimension Object "Submitted by Group Hierarchy" in Universe designer tool on top of SAP BEx Query and then exported the universe to Repository.
<FILTER KEY="@Select(Submitted By Group Hierarchy\L01 Submitted By Group Hierarchy).[TECH_NAME]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Submitted By Group ','A',' Submitted By Group Hierarchy\L01 Submitted By Group Hierarchy',multi,primary_key,,{‘Direct Sales’)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
To test my custom filter , I have created WEBI report and its allowing input entry in my custom filter and output is also coming .
where as in Explorer, i am not able to enter input values for my custom filter as below.
Can anyone suggest me how to create custom filter in universe and use it in explorer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramana,
Please try using 'mono' in place of multi in @prompt syntax and then test.

How to remove Decimals in Quantity Objects in SAP BO Explorer View created on top SAP Bex Query?

Hi,
I created SAP BO Explorer report on top of SAP BEx Query.
In SAP BEx Query, Decimals were hided but when i created OLAP Universe on top that SAP BEx Query and Created Index on top of Information Space in SAP BO Explorer and then created Exploration Views. But i'm getting Decimals in my Exploration Views where as SAP BEx Query in RSRT, no decimals were appearing.
Can anyone suggest me how to remove decimals in SAP BO Exploration Views.

Hi Ramana,
I am not use how you connect to SAP BEx query (Via universe or BWA or HANA)
What I could say is BWA and HANA, you cannot adjust this
For universe, you could try in universe layer, there is note about this
For BWA and HANA, this function might be enhanced but you 'd better raise OSS to SAP to check with them
Best regards

Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

How come , if it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable for that Iobj .
Refer below blog provide details:

Issue with webi report on BEx query

Hi,
I have created a universe on top of Bex query. There is no issue in creating and exporting the universe. But when I try to create a webi report out that BEx query, I am not able to see the values. Say if I have a column called "Company" I am getting the value as "All Company" and so on. What will be the issue?
But when a report is generated out of BEx analyser they are able to see the values properly.
Same user credentials are used in both the places (Importing the query into universe, Connecting to BEx Analyser) .
Thanks & Regards,
Subbu S

Hi Subbu,
the universe will generate a L00 item and a L01 item. The L00 item shows the All member of the characteristic in the case of a flat list and the Top level nodes from a hierarchy. the L01 item should give you what you looking for.

Perfomance Based on Infocube creation or Bex Query creation

Hi,
I just wanted to know is there any performance is affected whether Universe is created on top of Bex query or on top of Infocube.
Out of these which is the Best practice to follow.
Regards
Gaurav

This is the best practice to follow
build your universe on top of Query not direct infocube
this will keep the row level security applied.
the performance will depend on how you design your query and the amount of data to be retrieved from the infocube.
good luck

Steps to create a Universe based on Bex query

HI Gurus,
I am (first time ofcourse) creating a Universe based on a Bex Query. I searched on SDN to find steps to craete a universe on top of Bex query and found a document written by tej Trivedi and found other threads also which explains all the steps.
I understood from his document that in case of OLAP Universes the Structure pan would be empty. And I will not see joins etc..Is that true?
How can I make sure that I will see data?
Regards

Hi,
I believe this is a cross post from here Re: BEX Query Objects dont show in Universe ?
So i will put my answer again:
Hi,
If you can select your BEx query, but the 'universe outline' in the webi query panel stays blank (i.e no available objects in the webi query panel) then you don't have enough rights (authorizations) on the BW -side.
to prove it, try using a sap_all profile in the universe connection .
regards,
H
p.s. there is a large section on the required authorizations in the Admin guide. Also a note covers it : Note 1585948 - No objects are visible in the query panel when creating a report using Interactive Analysis or BI Launchpad

How to Apply sign flipping applied in Bex Query in Web i report

Hi,
We have created a universe on top of Bex query and we have applied sign reversal to two of our rows in bex query,
unfortunately when I run a report in webi the reversal of sign is not getting reflected in web i report.
Could any one please help me out in achieving the same in web i
Thanks in Advance,
Any help is greatly appreciated.

SAP BW BEx query - WEBi MDX query

Hi Experts, have we had some discussion on this?
Does MDX query send by WEBi report to BW use the same program to extract data from BW database?
One of the option for WEBi report source of data is to build Universe on top of BEx query. Could you share how this process actually happen.
I think
- WEBi query will pass parameters that is relevant for BEx query filter of the universe
- the BEx query will then extract the data (following normal process if we run BEx query independently)
- if WEBi has further filtering, it will then get the BEx result above and filter it further ..??
So, how is MDX query come into the picture?
Or is it:
- WEBi query and the BEx query will determine what MDX query will be generated, and this MDX query will then fetch the data.
But why BEx query extract data faster then MDX query?
Sorry, i am new to this. hope someone could share some light here. In the meantime i continue to real those documentation and try to get some more ideas of what is actually happening.
Thanks.

Hi Thanks a lot for pointing this out.
Did i understand it correctly that BEx query is using a different set of program (platform) to retrieve data compare to MDX query, and not MDX uses those program that is used by BEx to retrieve data from BW database and have extra steps on top of that?
Can anyone share what is actually happen WEBi MDX query is executed (how the database is hit with SQL, and what are the tools to evaluate the efficiency of the WEBi (or the used BEx). As for BEx we have RSRT to analyze it right.
And even to test the MDX query using MDXTEST and try to get the data from WEBi report, i found WEBi report still take considerably a lot longer. Why is this so? just because BO is a different system then BW?
And as it's shared the BO 4.0 is using the same platform as BEx to retrieve data from BW database, does this mean we don't need to care about MDX usage in BW anymore as far as BO data extraction concern?
Thank you very much.

Unwanted LOVs - Universe on a BEx query on top of a Multiprovider

BO XI 3.1
BW 7.01
OLAP Universe on a BEx query
BEx query on top of a Multiprovider
Multiprovider on 2 DSOs; lets say DSO1 and DSO2
BEx query has a global filter for "INFOPROVIDER = DSO1"
BEx query has a user input variable defined for "Field1" (Field1 is present in both DSOs)
In BEx, F4 on Field1 variable entry gives the values of Field1 from DSO1. (which is what we want)
Expected LOVs for the generated prompt for Field1 in the WEBI report: Values of Field1 from DSO1
Problem:
Actual LOVs returned in WEBI report: Values of Field1 from both DSO1 and DSO2
Has anyone faced this before?
Thank you

Henry Banks wrote:
> I have a suspicion the BEX property 'only values in infoprovider' isn't picked up/consumed by the BAPIs used by the MDX interface.
That is correct. The BEx properties do not carry over to the BO side. In Webi 3.1 here are the default selections for LOVs (as far as I know)
OLAP universe against BEx query on an infoprovider (Infocube, DSO, Multiprovider) - Only values in Infoprovider
OLAP universe against BEx query on an Infoset - Values in the master data table
My understanding now is
OLAP universe against BEx query on a Multiprovider - Only values in ALL Infoproviders under the Multiprovider

I have seen this note before and according to it you can set an RSADMIN parameter MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME and have more control over the LOVs.
MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME = "A" -> The read mode for all LOVs is Only values in master data
MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME = "I" -> The read mode for LOVs is either master data or infoprovider depending on the infoobject settings
Henry Banks wrote:
> It might be easier to have to 2 data providers for this document, if you don't already, for plan and actual; or 2 seperate bex queries.
Well, that would work but it would defeat the purpose of having a Multiprovider for logical partitioning, wouldn't it?

Query performance for WEBI on top of BEx

Hello Everyone,
Is there a way to get the time taken by a webi query execution on the BO side and in the BW side? Is this stat stored some where?
Also, what is the best approach to take for comparing performance between the original bex query and the WEBI on top of the Bex?
Thanks for your help.
