How best to address WEBI query buffer issue

Hello folks,
I understand that upon executing the WEBI query from the hyperlink, the data is displayed from the buffer with variable values derived from the last saved version of this query.  Can this be overridden so the data is fetched from the database first time around instead? I should mention that:
1. the users would not like to see the selection screen upon this initial execution and so the refresh upon execution was ruled out as it would present the users with this selection screen. The users would still like to change this value and they can change this via Refresh button upon which the selection screen will show up, so no issues here.
2. the variable is being defined at the query level and not coming via the BEx query, in which case the customer exit may have been used.
Any suggestions/thoughts are welcome. Thanks for looking.
Cheers.

Hi,
I understand that upon executing the WEBI query from the hyperlink, the data is displayed from the buffer with variable values derived from the last saved version of this query. Can this be overridden so the data is fetched from the database first time around instead? I should mention that:
>>> When you save a Web Intelligence report to the BusinessObjects Enterprise server you can configure that the report is "refreshed on open" every time.
1. the users would not like to see the selection screen upon this initial execution and so the refresh upon execution was ruled out as it would present the users with this selection screen. The users would still like to change this value and they can change this via Refresh button upon which the selection screen will show up, so no issues here.
>> The user would see a screen unless you call the report with values for the prompts.
2. the variable is being defined at the query level and not coming via the BEx query, in which case the customer exit may have been used.
>>> Here you say in the first part it is defined on the query level but then you say it does not come via the query. Which one is it ?

  • How to build a WEBI query on a SAP NANA OLAP connection?

    hi fellows,
    we all know that a relational connection can be built to SAP HANA database, and we build data foundation, biz layer to publish it to the repository, so that we can create a WEBI report based on a query to visit the universe.
    However, does anybody know how to create a WEBI query on a SAP HANA OLAP connection?  Since we don't need to build any data foundation on it.
    I created a sap hana olap connection, but failed to find anywhere to publish it?  Can anybody help?
    thanks,

  • How to upload the web query result  to CSV/Text file

    Hi,
    Kindly help me on the following.
    1)       I have info-provider (IP), which has info-objects "company code" and "supplier".
    2)       I built a query by putting company-code with a variable in free-charateristics and supplier-code in row.
    3)       When I run this query, it will ask company-code as input and the result will be filtered using company-code.
    4)       For this query, I created a web-template and assigned data-provider to display the data on the web.
    5)       The user wants to enter input company-code='1000' and write the data in a CSV file in a specific directory. i.e, by clicking the execute button (after entering company code) , the result should go to the CSV or text file. i.e. the application should automatically generate the file with query results.
    Note: The user should not use context menu to EXPORT TO CSV OR EXCEL file.
    Please let me know, if there is any tutorial. Thanks a lot advance help.
    Regards
    Kandasamy

    1. SELECT INTO
    Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
    Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
    Go
    ---Insert data using SELECT INTO
    SELECT AddressLine1, City
    INTO BothellAddresses
    FROM Person.Address
    where City = 'Bothell';
    GO
    ---VERIFY DATA
    Select AddressLine1, City
    FROM BothellAddresses
    ---DROP TABLE
    DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
    GO
    2. INSERT INTO SELECT
    Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
    another table.
    Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
    Go
    ---Create Table
    CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
    ---Insert into above table using SELECT
    INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
    SELECT AddressLine1, City
    FROM Person.Address
    where City = 'Bothell';
    ---VERIFY DATA
    Select AddressLine1, City
    FROM BothellAddresses
    ---DROP TABLE
    DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
    GO

  • How to reduce the number of crossjoin in my webi query

    All,
    I am running some publication base of a webi report
    notes that i have a profile for each of the recipient
    for example in the profile i have a detail objects with:
    recipient 1 can only see 901
    recipient 2 can only see 902
    In my publication I do the filtering on the local personalization
    then I sent the report to all the user concerned using the multi pass option in the advanced part.
    The thing is that for some of the recipient I do reach the limit:
    more than i million cell
    notes it generate around 21 crossjoin in the MDX
    My first question is .. if I follow the best practice:
    and to confirm:
    1 - cut the webi query in 2 queries one for the display attributes and another one for the actual data .. the thing is I do not have much display attributes in my query will that really help ?
    2 - I believe putting a where clause in my MDX will save me some crossjoint .. but in my case I am not sure on how to put a filter that could be after used thru a profile in a publication
    Any idea ?
    thank you

    Hi,
    The recipient in my case are sales rep, they are not part of SAP , they just have a number ( key) to identify them.( we created one user ID for each of the sales rep in BOBJ)
    in the case of our publication it is very easy to setup .. we just have to put the key that identify them within one big profile. and the result would be a condition in our webi report.
    so in short setting up the security in SAP would have been too much work

  • How can I use a variable in webi query filter

    I created a webi report using the fiscal year/month(period) field as a filter to show a window of 18 periods.  The report works just as requested using a between filter on fiscal period with prompts for both the start and ending periods.  Now I'd like to calculate the start period based on what was entered in the prompt for the ending period (e.g. enter 201106 for the TO prompt on the between statement and have the FROM statement filled in as 201001.)  I can create variables in the report to display both the user response to the ending period prompt and the calculated starting period, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate that calculated starting date into the FROM side of the between query filter.
    Any suggestions? 
    Thanks,
    Doug
    Sorry I got my froms and to's mixed up in the first draft. Edited by: Doug Roswold on Mar 4, 2011 6:27 PM

    Let me understand what you want to do.  You don't want to use two prompts, just one, insn't it?
    I mean, instead of:
    Filter area:
    Date between "From prompt" to "To Prompt"
    You want something like:.
    Filter area:
    Date between Variable  to "To Prompt"
    if I'm not wrong that's not possible to achieve in Webi Query  Panel.
    Can you modify your universe? The only way to achieve it is modifying your universe, creating your formula in the universe and assigning it to an object, so you can use this new object in your filter area like this:
    Date between MyUniverseObject  to "To Prompt"

  • How can I create a query with web service data control?

    I need to create a query with web service data control, in WSDL, it's query operation, there is a parameter message with the possible query criteria and a return message contains the results.

In Shay's blog, I saw the topics on update with web service data control. How can I create a query with web service data control? Thanks.

  • How do I address SSL security issue on iPad 1

    This new security issue discovered recently had my wife and I getting busy updating our phones, great now I have a possible bigger issue. How do I address this SSL issue on my iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 . So far apple does not seem to be releasing anything for us iPad 1 folks.
    • Does this mean Apple does not care?
    • Are they trying to leverage us into newer iPads?
    • Is there a iOS 5.1.2 in the works?
    • Or does it mean our iPad 1's are not affected by this breach.
    Wish I had the coin to just go out and buy a new iPad but my disabled income does not have room for that, the one I have now was given to me by a very good friend and business owner before I was diagnosed. I use my iPad for virtually everything needing computing power. I really need to figure this out as I do Alot of shopping online.

    Since Apple does not discuss their customers or potential security breaches, I would assume that you are not affected.  My assumption is based solely on the fact that if there were an issue with your device and security, either an update would be made available or an announcement would come from Apple advising you to migrate to a newer device.

  • How to do a web tabke query in Numbers 09

    Is there a way to import a table from a website and link the table so the data can be updated? This is a function built into Excel "Import web query".
    Thanks!

    Those who took time to look at the _iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide_ (from the very hidden Help menu) are aware of the function:
    HYPERLINK
    The HYPERLINK function creates a clickable link that opens a webpage or new email
    message.
    HYPERLINK(url, link-text)
    • url: A standard universal resource locator. url is a string value that should contain a
    properly formatted universal resource locator string.
    • link-text: An optional value that specifies the text that appears as a clickable link in
    the cell. link-text is a string value. If omitted, url is used as the link-text.
    If the linked Web Page is designed to send datas, we may grab them in Numbers.
