Exporting BO XI WebI Reports - How to

Hello,
I'm quite green when it comes to BO & Reporting, I would appreciate as many details as you can muster.
My goal is to send a Web Intelligence report using the scheduling system to a Web server (SharePoint). I assume exporting the WebI report to a HTML format would be the easiest way to publish the Report on the web server (would be easiest for end-users so they dont have to load another app). Although, exporting to HTML is not an option that I see (only WebI, PDF & XLS).
Currently, I have found I can:
   schedule a report to run,
   export the report to email, file location, & ftp
   export to Excel, or PDF
Can anyone provide any tips how to export to an external / network drive in a web format?
As a band-aid, I'm sure I can figure out myself how to
   schedule,
   export a PDF (or XLS),
   to a network (or FTP) drive, onto the web server
   and on the web server, publish that file
Thank you,
Drew

Hi Drew,
HTML export is not support in WebI, only in CR.
Alan`s idea would be the best. Another would be:
Exporting to pdf to a share on your Sharepoint Server. Create a website on your IIS linked to the Report. Than you could easily put that link (eg. http://yourserver/report.pdf) on your sharepoint Portal and the users can view the .pdf.

Export graphs from Web report

Hi.
I need to copy graphs from web reports in 3.5.To do this, i have followed a roundabout:
1. Save the page as mht (web archive file)
2.Copy the image from there and paste into Powerpoint or wherever required.
Is there any better way to do it? Or can I bring the save as mht option in the context menu?
Is SAP addressing it any soon?
Also is there any way to send graphs in addition to the tables via the 'distribute as email option"?
Cheers
Anand

When you broadcast using the standard template the template '0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING' is used for broadcasting. This template only has a navigation block and table item, this is the reason why the chart is not displayed in this template. If you create a custom template for broadcasting which has chart item in it you will be able to get the chart displayed (it will be always displayed.) See the attached link for custmoizing.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/0e044017355c0ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also override this behaviour if you attach the query to a custom web template, in this case when you broadcast you will get exactly what you see in the current report.

Web Reports --- How submit button on the parameter form works ?

Hi all,
I understand that when we deploy the rdf and run the report through web it opens up with 'Submit query' and 'Reset' buttons. And this is from the html code that we see in BEFORE FORM VALUE (Report Escapes).
<html>
<body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">
<form method=post action="_action_">
<input name="hidden_run_parameters" type=hidden value="_hidden_">
<font color=red></font>
<center>
<p><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td><input type=submit></td>
<td width=15>
<td><input type=reset></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><hr><p>
I'm just wondering how form action "_action_" is being taken care of when we click on 'Submit Query' button. Which file will it look for to get these values (action and hidden params ) ?
I would like to add a new button 'Schedule' on this parameter form which behaves exactly as it does with 'Submit' but I would like to add 'schedule' command in the URL. I could create a 'Schedule' button but was not able to build the functionality on what happens if someone clicks on it.
For this I need to understand how "Submit Query" works.
Please give me some inputs on this,
Thank you
ML.

These values are not stored in any file. Reports server will replace action and hidden with the actual values while generating parameter form. You can see the source of html parameter form generated to understand these.
For your scheduling requirement one very simple solution would be to create a user parameter with name 'SCHEDULE' and map a field in the pform to the 'SCHEDULE' user parameter.
You can also use a hidden field by name 'SCHEDULE' and set the value using javascript when button is clicked.

How to read Data of a Webi Report

Hello Friends,
I have a task where I need to read data of a Webi Report, how can it be done?
Basically I have a trigger report which runs every day and get the latest RACN number from the database. I am trying to get that RACN number from trigger report using BOBJ SDK.
I really appreciate your suggestions on this.
Regards,
Rakhy.

Hi Rakhy,
Is the RACN Number a column or dimension in your webi report? Is it a universe object(webi based on universe)
Also what version of BusinessObjects you are using?
If you are using XI 3.1 and you need to retrieve objects from a webi report it can be done using the ReportEngine SDKs.
Please refer to the developers guide and API referrence guide available at
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/resdk_java_dg_12_en.zip
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/resdk_java_apiRef_12_en.zip
Also refer to the document at
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-38618 for better understanding the workflow.
An example snippet of how to retrieve an object is below
=========================================
DocumentInstance wiDoc = widocRepEngine.openDocument(oInfoObject.getID());
ReportDictionary reportDictionary=wiDoc.getDictionary();
for(int a=0;a<reportDictionary.getChildCount() ;a++)
String name=reportDictionary.getChildAt(a).getName();
out.println(name);
=========================================

Error while refreshing webi report

SAP BO XI 3.1, when i am trying to refresh data in a webi report, its giving error, Invalid prompt definition contact BO admin WI 00005.
Though i deleted all filters in Bex query, save the query, import universe, refresh univerese, save universe, export universe still webi report is showing the same error, but if all the filters are removed it shouldn't show that error?
After universe is refreshed clicked the check button it showed me 15 errors on filters with message Invalid prompt definiton, supplied XML doc is not valid.
Can any one please help me out.
Thanks.

I am getting this error when i refresh the webi report.
ERROR:
Multiple query filters contain a prompt with the same text, but the
prompts use a different opernd type or operator count of values. (WIS: 0015)
I got answer for this error.
The query has multiple prompts that display the same message. Web Intelligence combines prompts with the same message and displays the prompt once. If the operator defined for some of these prompts requires you to enter one value while the operator in other prompts with the same message requires you to enter multiple values, Web Intelligence cannot combine the prompt.
But can anyone please explain me what is the cause of error in brief? i didn't get what does prompt with same text means?

Web report without userid and password

Hi Experts,
I exported a BW web report to excel spreadsheet and sent it through mail to others, When recepients tried to open that exported spreadsheet, It is prompting for userid and password. I dont want this to be happened and it should open without asking userid / passsword? Can any one suggest some clues onthis.

Check to see if they are looking at the data or running the report. If they are running the report, then they will be prompted for the user id and password.
You can run the report for them and download the data only, then they will not get the prompts, however they will not be able to update the data or drill down.
Alternatively, you can use the Broadcaster to send out the updated reports directly to them.

Hi,
How to display prompt value in my webi report.
For one prompt value I can user Userresponse function.
In one of my report, I have a prompt for Date, which also should be displayed in the report under one field. I am using the below formula: =UserResponse("Enter Date:")
But my new requirement is User wants a Date Range for a particual trasaction date. I created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
I need to display the start date and end date user selected under one field Date in my webi report.
how should I do that.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ven Men

You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.

Using Import wizard you can easily transfer wid file (associated with universe + connection etc) from one cms to another.
Steps are as follows:
Open Import window:

Repeating row texts when exporting web report to Excel

Dear all,
When exporting a web report (including a structure/hierarchy) to Excel (via the 'export to excel button), the row texts (e.g. balance sheet texts) appear twice (column A and B)in the Excel result.
When using the web context menu 'Export to Excel' this issue does not occur.
I am using a BW 3.5 system which has been upgraded to support pack 16.
I assume it is the combination of the structure and the 'export to excel' functionality that does not match up, because when I switch off the hierarchy functionality in the web report query properties, the export to excel does not give me any problems.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Arjan.

Did you write that software, COTS package called Medgate?
If not then ask that company for support. No one here would know how to fix it. They are using the CR RDC report engine.
Thank you
Don
