HANA Prompts in BO

My scenario 1. Default region assigned for each user and a table 1has details. 2. Currently dashboards designed to refresh components before load 3. There are 15 queries which has region filter is mapped to single cell and the cell is hardcoded with default value. 4. Drop down box for region is created and the target data is mapped to same cell above and hence when user selects some region and clicks refresh everything will be refreshed . Query Now I need the default region to come from the table 1 when initial loading to happen. I tried by making this query as refresh before components to load and rest all queries refresh when value changes. However I am not able to meet the requirement. I have these prompts as hana variables and i need to have default value based on the condition .However I am getting error

Hi Lars. Query is pretty simple. How to pass default (SQL script generated)value to hANA prompts Thanks for reply. The output is because of magic of new editor which is neither to allow to paste code / nor copy from notepad to editor until you change to HTML. The picture when it is zoomed with the icon, its crystal clear for me, Let me rephrase my question My scenario 1. Currently dashboards designed to refresh components before load 2. There are 15 queries which has region filter  and source for the filter  is mapped to single cell and the cell is hardcoded with default value. 3. Drop down box for region is created and it populates  same cell above and thus makes the report interactive . Query Now I need the default region to come from the table 1 when initial loading to happen. I tried by creating new query and making query to populates region ( Default region assigned for each user and it is stored in table A. ) as refresh before components to load and rest 15 queries refresh when value changes. However I am not able to meet the requirement. I have these prompts as hana variables and i need to have default value based on the condition .

  • Webi 4.1 on relational universe on HANA - old prompt values not cleared

    Hi,
    We are having a problem with a Webi report built on a relational universe (.unx). IDT is vers 4.1 sp 2, Webi is 4.1 sp3.
    The HANA View has optional date prompts. It works with a year/month range, or defaults if the prompts are empty
    When the business layer was created in IDT the HANA View was run and certain prompts were entered
    Now when previewing the data in IDT or opening the report in Webi, the prompts are always initially set to the original values when it was run in IDT (which are not the current defaults in HANA).
    We have tried from the Webi perspective Data Access -> Purge -> Purge All (with the clear last selected prompts option selected), but the prompts come back. We have also tried rerunning in IDT with blank parameters, but the keep coming back there (that is the original values)
    Any ideas on how to remove the prompts? We don't want the users to have to keep adding in prompts when they run the report (as there are a few HANA views included, each with their own prompts). It also prevents scheduling.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi Ken Palmer-Jones
    Reading that document about variables on HANA, my suggestion would be to acquire control on those variables and parameters at the universe level, by building a derived table in the universe using this syntax
    SELECT [Columns]
    FROM <view> ('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$<parameter_name>$$', <parameter value>))
    WHERE <attribute name> = <filter value>
    Input parameters defined in HANA are the ones in the FROM part of the statement and the variables comes in the WHERE part.
    By using directly the table in IDT you don't see these prompts and can't modify them either.
    So, if you build a derived table in the universe (foundation layer) with the syntax above and use that derived table for the universe you will get control over the parameters. Replace <parameter value> with a @prompt(prompt_name) statement where prompt_name is a prompt created in the universe with properties you can modify like 'keep last values' (this is the parameter that would do the trick of clearing those values out of the prompt). Make sure that option is not checked and it should work.
    Also, by getting control on the prompts you should also be able to match the names of the prompts so they can be merged in webi when you use more than one universe, otherwise you'll get several prompts that mean the same but with different names.
    Hope this helps.

    Christian

  • Error while creating a BO Universe (using IDT) on top of SAP HANA Calculation View with Input Parameters

    Hi All..
          We are trying to create a Universe (using IDT-Version4.0) on top of the HANA Calculation view. The Calculation view has 4 input parameters, So
    in Universe side we have created the respective prompts. For the creation of derived table we have used the following code
    SELECT *
    FROM "_SYS_BIC"."<schema_name>.<CV_Calculation_View_test>"
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_A$$','@Prompt(A)'),
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_B$$','@Prompt(B)'),
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_C$$','@Prompt(C)'),
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_D$$','@Prompt(D)')
    While validating the above code we are getting an error.
    I have attached the snapshot of that error for your reference. Please find the attachment and help me in resolving it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello George,
    I don't have any personalization set on the info space. Also I am using mapped Account in BI to connect to HANA. The confusing part is that it is able to validate the infospace with the input parameters and index it. However query does not return any results. I even tried running the same query which explorer sends to HANA in the SQL editor and there too the same results,the query does not return anything. The model does return data when I do a data preview and if accessed from other tools like AAO.
    Also when I use SSO connection to HANA, indexing of the infospace fails. Where can I see the error log?
    Thanks,

  • Hierarchy on HANA Calculation View with Optional Input Parameters Fails

    Hi,
    Has anyone succeeded in building a hierarchy on top of a calculation view with optional input parameters, where an input parameter is not filled?
    The original requirement came from the wish to create a parent child hierarchy on a calculation view that was copied into the customer space from a HANA Live Financial Statement query view, but I have found the following when creating a simple level hierarchy on a calculation view that consumes one table. The Calculation View has one Input Parameter where the 'mandatory' box is unchecked.
    Calculation view reads ECC table FAGLFLEXT
    Simple level based hierarchy on fields PRCTR, RACCT and SEGMENT
    Input parameter is used as a filter for PRCTR with logic ("EMPTY" = '$$P_PROFITCTR$$' or "PRCTR" = '$$P_PROFITCTR$$')
    When I run the view I see the following behaviour in HANA Studio and Analysis for Excel
    Before building the hierarchy I could run the view with or without the Input Parameter
    After building the hierarchy I can run the view with the Input Parameter filled, but it fails when the Input Parameter is not filled.
    Error message is "error: search table error:  [2426] missing placeholder; missing value for mandatory parameter P_PROFITCTR"
    P_PROFITCTR is not a mandatory parameter, but the selection for the hierarchy view thinks it should be. I don't find any notes around this issue, so I don't think it's version related, however the version I have used for this test is 1.00.70.
    It's a shame we can't currently build the hierarchy as the parent child relationship is provided in HANA Live view NewGLFinancialStatementQuery.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi Ken,
    We have been facing similar issue. We have even tried to set default value and as optional parameter. View still fails to create hierarchy (we are not using HANA live). As mentioned on page 97 of HANA modelling guide input parameter is mandatory from engine point of view. Hierarchy is generated as column view during the initial activation of calculation view and therefore expect a value by caller.
    This seems to be a product error. Some one from HANA development team should explain this issue in detail. I would expect someone like Thomas Jung reply to us.
    At the moment, we cant use input parameter for date prompt which gives us calendar popup feature for date selection. Hierarchies just don't work with input parameter. We are missing something.

  • Using Variable in SAP HANA

    Hi experts,
    in the past I´ve been using Input Parameters a lot and I was very satisfied with stuff like Mapping them for filter push down and so on. Due the fact, that I´m using Cognos BI as a frontend, I switched to Variables, because the SQL synthax is easier to handle.
    If I´m using the Variable on several fields and checking the Mandatory box, all works fine in the Data Preview of HANA Studio. The Calc View won´t show any data, if I do not fill out the prompt of the Variable.
    If I´m using a SQL statement (SELECT *) within the editor on the corresponding Column View in SYS_BIC, the query is still running, although the VARIABLE is mandatory.
    Is there anything that needs to be considered? Data Source of the Calc View is an Analytic View.
    Best regards, Christoph.

    Hi,
    After you created that variable as mentioned above, did you apply this variable on your LAND1 attribute.
    How: Open Analytic View --> on right-side you see the attributes,measures etc. >right click on 'LAND1' and select>
    'Apply Filter'--> In the drop-down  select your created variable and activate.
    I assume the above should resolve your issue. Please let me know if it helps.
    Revision: I mean the HANA version you are using.

  • Cannot start BW or HANA instances in SAP Management console

    Hi,
    I created instance of "SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP5 incl. SAP Business Objects BI 4.1 SP2 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7". When I'm trying to start SAP BW or SAP HANA instances in "SAP Management console" via remote desktop connection I receive an error message :
    "WebService error: 21 The operation timed out" / "The RPC server in unavailable".
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi,
    See note: 535532
    Mid way through the note it says:
    You can then register the SAP J2EE Engine as a windows-service by using the SAP J2EE Engine Config Tool. Open a command prompt and change to the directory <J2EE Engine installation directory>configtool and run configtool.bat or start this tool via your Start-Menu "Tools->Config Tool" of the J2EE Server entry. Select at the left navigation area of this tool the entry "cluster/ server" the checkbox "Enabled" at the tabstrip "NT Service". Apply these settings by clicking on "File->Apply" at the menu. Do the same with the entry "cluster / dispatcher".
    After you have finished these steps you can register now the J2EE Engine as a windows service.
    Start service.exe, which is also located in the directory
    <J2EE Engine installation directory>configtool. It works with three
    parameters:
    Service.exe u2013install u2013 the service(s) is (are) registered as NT/2000 Service(s). For each specified cluster node, a separate service is generated. All services have startup mode automatic. To start the service(s), open the Control Panel ¨Services folder. Find the service in the list of available services (for example: SAP J2EE Server 1, SAP J2EE Dispatcher 1, SAP J2EE Server 2, and so on). Select it, and choose u201CStartu201D on the right-hand side. No u201CStartup Parametersu201D are needed for the service to run. The system starts the particular J2EE Engine 6.20 node in background mode. It can be used and administered as usual. The only difference is that the server does not run in a console window.
    There may be other notes along these lines.
    You should also check any notes on the setup of SAP in MSCS cluster, as it will contain instructions for registering the services.
    Hope this gives you a pointer in the right direction.

  • Variables in HANA Views

    BOE Server, Explorer and Client version 2.8
    HANA DB Rlease 21
    I created a HANA view with variable. When I tried doing data preview in the studio, I get prompted to select the values. Where as when I tried using in the Exlorer or IDT, the variable is being ignored.
    Do I need certain version of BOE software to make use of it?
    The latest release from BOE is fix pack 2.8.
    thanks for your help

    Babu,
    Variables has two aspects: development of variables in SAP HANA and second recognition of these variables in BOBJ tools.
    Currently HANA view cannot recogonized by BOBJ reporting tools. As per my understanding based on SAP discussion, there is future released planned however not sure on time-line.
    If you are using Analysis for Office, you may be able to use macros combine with AO functions to achieve it.
    Hope it helps.

  • DMO - ECC Migration to HANA, wrong Target DB SID was given

    Dear Experts,
    I am migrating our ECC system to HANA DB, Currently the long running phase ACT_UPG is going on. During the configuration phase by mistake i have given Target DB SID as source system SID which is wrong , Target HANA DB SID is different. Would i be able to change this setting in upcoming phases ? Would system prompt me to change DB SID after failing to connect to the given SID ? , I tried looking for config file which is similar to keydb.xml to edit this, but i am not able to find such kind of config file.
    Please advise, i am worried if i need to redo everything
    Thanks,
    Aravind

    Hi Jeena,
    My last reply was logical assumption.
    You have used DMO with SUM, at least one SP should be applied.
    Refer: 1813548 - Database Migration Option (DMO) for Software Update Manager

  • Hana Ado NET Multiple SELECT

    Hi everyone,
    Is it possible to get multiple result set from the only one call of HanaDataAdapter.Fill(DataSet set) method?
    What I mean, in Hana Studio I can easily excequte the following query:
    Select * From "MyDatabase"."MyTable";
    Select * From "YourDatabase"."YourTable";
    which returns multiple results.
    However, the same HanaDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText will rise an Exception: Incorrect SQL syntax near ";" ...
    The same issue at HanaDataAdapter.ExcecuteReader() call.
    Is it any way to solve this problem, I need to minimize the number of queries to database.
    Best regards, Evgeny.

    Technically these are two separate SQL commands for SAP HANA Studio.
    In fact, the SAP HANA Studio parses the text in the command prompt before executing and then issues parse and execute commands for every found SQL command.
    Your requirement "to minimize the number of queries" sounds slightly "unsharp".
    Why do you want to minimize the number of queries? Could it be that you want to optimize your network traffic, instead?
    Or do you want to save on the parsing overhead?

  • Hana Paramter is static or dynamic

    Hi Team,
    how we can justify whether have to take restart of hana db after changing or adding parameter value in .ini files(indexserver.ini,nameserver.ini, statisticsserver.ini or xengine.ini) or not in hana studio,   to take changes effective on the system
    Please assist me on this.

    Hi Sanjay,
    As per my understanding, when you do the changes or add parameter its totally depends on the system.
    - Automatically system will get restart if it is necessary or prompt for restart.
    - It might varies with server. (Some server might ask for restart or not).
    Please let me know if is there any concerns/comment.
    Thank you.

  • GTS with BW on HANA = Sanctioned Party List Reporting

    Dear All,
    Since our company will be installing HANA in our BW environment, does anyone know if Santioned Party List Screening Analysis related to SAP GTS will be available after the install in BW OR does HANA need to be installed within SAP GTS environment to gain access to this reporting?
    I've read the following information, see below links, and I'm hoping it's not the later.  Any guidance is always appreciated.  Thank you.
    Sanctioned Party List Screening Analysis - SAP HANA Live for SAP GTS - SAP Library
    Release Notes for SAP HANA Live for SAP Business Suite 1.0, Q3/2 - SAP Library
    Please note that I did received a prompt response from SCN participant mentioning that GTS has to be on HANA too.  I'm looking for additional readings and guidance on 'activating' SPL reporting using the HANA functionality.
    Sincerely,
    Claire

    Hi Claire,
    First "Sanctioned Party List Screening Analysis" is VDM not reporting.
    You could use tools like crystal report or Lumira to generate report.
    Considering installation, you first need to install HANA DB including HANA Live content.
    I think you are talking about side-by-side approach which means (GTS is one system using non-HANA DB and BW is another system using HANA). Then you need to replicate tables according to note 1780655 to your BW system.
    Best regards,
    Vincent
