Hi All,
I had a question about graphs in workbooks. I have a main workbook from which user's can drilldown(RRI) to its line item report. Since the users want to see only the chart in the workbook, I attached the chart in the main workbook. Is it possible for them to drilldown from the chart to the line item report?
Hope the question is clear.
Any help will be appreciated and points rewarded.
Thanks!

RRI, graphs in Workbooks

Hello Gurus,
      Firstly I would like to know if we can create jump queries between workbook and a query. I know I can jump from query to query and workbook to query but how about query to workbook.
      Secondly is there a problem in creating graphs in a workbook based on just one category in the report and if so can we dynamically change the title on the graph.
Example I have 4 regions N, E, W, S and based on the sales rate I need to create graphs. I wanted the graph title changed depending on my selection criteria. Is it possible or I need to create them in WAD?
       I am sure you guys would have a solution for this and expecting for an appropriate answer, thanks for all the prior help and ideas.
Priya

Hi Priya,
As far as the jump target from query to workbook is concerned, I guess you want the query to jump to a particular navigation state that you have stored in the form of a workbook. For this it may be helpful to actually save a view and use that as a jump target. Look at this for more info:

Creating graphs/charts in BEx Analyzer - BI 7.0

There is no design item for creating graphs / charts in BEx analyzer. We don't have web server/portal.
There is a chart button in default workbook, which switches table/charts views.
How do I create charts in custom workbook.
Also, how do I do precalculation of workbook w/o Broadcaster.
Thanks

Which workbooks containts graph

I need to know which workbooks are using graphs, the best would be to query it via EUL5_* tables but i can't find where the graph/chart info is available. Please help where to find such information?
Actually the only way i can think about is to export all the workbooks in xml format and search for files where <chart> tag is available, but this is time consuming.
Any other suggestion is welcome!
Thanks.
mcha

Hello ncha
All workbooks that are saved to the database are saved to a file called EUL5_DOCUMENTS where DOC_NAME is the name of the workbook(s). The code for the workbook will be contained in a LONG RAW field called DOC_DOCUMENT.
Because it is a LONG datatype you cannot use SQL to query it directly. However, you should be able to create a function that will allow you to convert the LONG into text and then you should be able to search for the word CHART.
Not saying 100% that this will work but it might be worth a shot.
For help on creating such a function I'd like to refer you here: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_select_long_table_column_sql.htm

Adding 3 graphs and a table in WebApp from a workbook

Hi,
I created a workbook with 4 worksheets: 1 table (the query) and 3 graphs (based on the query) with different currencies. I want to add those in WebApp in one web template. I added the workbook as a dataprovider and 3 graphs and 1 table as the web items. How do I add the worksheets in each partivcular webitem?
Thanks,
Ramona

Hello
Once you inserted the WEB item in the Template you have to link them to the Data provider (query o Global View).
That has to be done for each web item. You need to provide a source data (Data Provider) for each of them. If you miss the data provider, you will have no data. Apart that you can then define the other settings related to the WEB Item.

I cant see the graph in discoverer viewer whith was created in the desktop

Hi,
I need your help!! I have a problem to see a graph in Discoverer viewer. I will detail you the steps that I follow;
It was a difficult calculate report to results by Discoverer so, I create a view in the data base which show 3 field, Periodo(number) which is a union whit other field from other folder, State(varchar), Requirement(number).
From the discoverer desktop y have a crosstab worksheets and a graph, there I can see it without problem, but in the Discoverer viewer I can see the graph.
I tried to set the worksheets options in “show options” to show me the graphs too, but this options didn’t appeared there. Somebody know what I should have to do to see it?
On the other hand I changed the “show null values show” option since null to empty, and when I wanted to save the change this error appeared;
“Oracle BI Discoverer don’t had to found the necessary values to show the events…”
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Dora

Hi Dora,
The graphs that you create using Discoverer Plus will show nicely in Viewer. Everything you develop in Pluys works in Viewer. They are companion products.
You must realize that Discoverer Plus/Viewer and Desktop are two seperate product sets and they use different techniques for graph creation. There are other differencies between the two that suggests that you need to develop all reports using Discoverer Plus in stead of Discoverer Desktop.
I have experienced workbook created in Plus being destroyed when opened and saved using Desktop. So for a long time I have simply forgotten all about Desktop. If your company is relying on both Viewer and Dersktop I suggest that the time has come to change strategy and technique.
If you need sparring please mail to [email protected]
Good Luck!

BI IP - bad performance in BEX workbooks

Hi,
we use BI IP and have workbooks with 5 to sometimes 10 planqueries (located on individual worksheets). We notice that the performance in BEX is bad. The planning functions itself are performant ( less that 5 seconds in the modeler). However in the excell workbook everything is slow;
opening: 30 seconds - 3 minutes.
simple save: at least 30 seconds
planning function: more or less the same as the save.
=> when performing a trace with ST05 (when clicking on save for example) we don't see much happening. Also in SM50 we don't see much happening.
Does anyone has experienced the same (or the opposite?) Is this problem caused by SAP or by Microsoft Excell?? Are the figures above normal???
D

Hi,
we created aggregates which decreased the response time significantly. But even if we have no data or it is quickly selected, it takes for ex 10 - 20 seconds to do something (saving, simple function) in case of workbooks with 4 - 8 queries. For queries with one query, this is faster, like 3 - 8 seconds to do something.
I think planning in BEX is slow (it is 4 - 20 times slower than web according to SAP studies!), but the effort we should do now to increase the speed would not weigh up against the benefits ...
could you do a trace with ST05 and let me know which statements take the longest time? What is your reaction time in your query. How hearvy is your query? Do you have pictures or graphs included? do you use data slices or characteristic relationships? you can also email to further discuss.

Discoverer Desktop Graphing Questions

I have several questions about the graphing tool in Discoverer Desktop:
1. I'm bringing in a customer id field which I convert with a to_char in the query from a numeric field. Most of them are 5-digit, but some are 4. I notice in the x-axis the customer id's appear only for the 5 digit id's, and for the 4-digit ones the identifier appears. i.e. if the 5th record has an id of 1508, instead of displaying 1508 it displays 5. Does anyone know how to correct this?
2. In the y-axis values, is it possible to display more than 5 decimal places? (We're dealing with very small percentages). When I try to enter 6 or higher as the decimal value in Options, it says invalid number.
3. When I open an existing workbook, it readjusts the y-axis scale to a max of 1, when I've set it to .0001. How I can I make this retain my scale values?
4. Is it possible to display the y-values in the graph area itself next to the plot points?
Thanks for any help!!!!

Hi paul,
Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
Hope this helps you.

Plotting of graph with more than 4000 data points in Excel

Hi All,
I am fairly new to labview world. I am trying to plot out line graphs of the results from my program into Excel worksheet. I have huge set of data points(10000) stored in each of 10 different worksheets in MS Excel workbook. I am trying to compile results into last sheet as graphical representation of all the various dataset into 10 different graphs.
My problem is that I am getting error because MS Graph does not allow me to plot more than 4000 rows or datapoints. Is there better and cleaner way of programming this? Or if some one can provide an example of how to handle such case. I'll appreciate any help.
My goal is to able to plot one set of data 1st then I will be able to run through various worksheets to compile into standalone results.
ERROR MESSAGE: "Report Generation Toolkit: Graphs you create or edit in Microsoft Graph cannot contain more than 4,000 rows or columns, including row and column headers. "
Also for example if we run Line Graph example and change the # of data points from 100 to 4000, we get same message.
Error -41114 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Excel_Insert_Chart.vi -> NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel Insert Graph.vi -> Line Graph (Excel).vi

Hi Dennis,
I am collecting waveform data from oscilloscope using labview in both data & graph format. So my program collects data for a particular operating condition & then saves the data on a worksheet. After it loads new operating condition & goes over same cycle. I have to save all the data points in excel for different use cases, which I am saving in different worksheet for each specific operating condition.
Since I already have data saved in excel at the end of test, I am trying plot each use case in the same report for study & presentaion after tests are finished. I have not been able to do so. I read the post which you have mentioned, seems like newer excel or labview version have same issue. I am using LV 9.0
I will try using decimation but if you have any better way of handling this problem, I'll appreciate if you can share that.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

If your table and graph are using the same query as the dataprovider then selection made for the table will be reflected for graph as well.

Default Workbook Template - BI 7

Hi ,
When we execute the query in BI 7, We have the report in excel with basic set of functionalities like filter, tables, charts etc...
Our requirement is to have the different reports to be saved in a workbook and each and every report as a seperate tabs.. Is there any way, we can set the template standard across the different tabs in the workbooks?.
We created a container and used to attach the queries in each and every tabs, but we are not able to get the standard functionalities that we used to get, while executing the queries.
Is there any way we can copy the standard template and just change the query name in across the tabs so that we wont miss any of the functionalities such as graphs, filters etc..
Kindly advice..
Thank You.
K.Manikanadan.

Manikandan,
I haven't played much in BI 7.0, but I guess it should be the same approach as 3.5...
Once you assign a Template as your "Permanent Workbook Template...", that's it, from now on all queries you execute will be based on that Template.
At the moment of having more than query in a workbook (different tabs or spreadsheets), just make sure you use "Insert Query" in the "Tools" button of the Analyzer toolbar... You have to insert each one of them...
Hope it helps somehow.
Regards,
Luis

Can you change the Graphs Colors in BEx Web Analyzer?

Dear All,
I have few queries I have developed via BEx Query Designer which I am opening from BEx Web Analyzer in portals. Unfortunately the colors in the Graphs are not very pleasant. I was wondering if there is a way we can customize the colors which is given by the standard.
I am aware that we can do this is BEx Report Designer. But I would like to do this is BEx Query Designer.
Please help..
Cheers,
Shanka

Hi Shanka,
There is no option as such in BEx Query Designer.
You can manipulate and play with colors only in Report designer or Web Application Designer.
In Bex Query designer, you will find only exceptions which are related to colors but chart colors cannot be manipulated in query designer.
If you are executing the report in workbook, you can change accordingly as it is excel.

KK.

Workbook Printing Issues???

Most of the clients work on Discoverer Plus so that they can develop & manage workbooks. But when it comes to printing Plus is missing a vital feature of Print Preview. I checked its available in Desktop version & Viewer but why its missing in Plus??? Is there any specific reason for not providing this feature for plus or its just a forgotten issue?? Though oracle says that Plus is more powerful which is true in some cases.
We are working on Disco 4i.
