How to design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries

Hi Team,
I would like to know some of the queries :
1.How can you design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries in the sense which gives you more performance
2.What are the differences between Non SAP sources like Oracle,SQL and SAP sources in designing the Universe.
3.Can we create a Derived table from an SAP source because i know that the Schema is not created for BEx queries,cubes.
4.What are the advantages of having oracle as a source then SAP source.
Can you please elobarate the above queries.
Regards,
Pradeep P.

Hi,
1. Check Ingos Blog on SDN ther are some PDF for performance regarding WebI on BW
2. On RDBMS Source you have to design your universe. On OLAP Source like BW you generate the Universe and cant customize it a lot.
4. Good question. In a BW all your logic is already in place. On a RDBMS you have to build your logic in a universe. But there are a lot of differences.
Regards
-Seb.

No. of Connections needed for creating universes from SAP BEx Queries

Hello,
I have 8 SAP BEx queries, my task to create to universe for all of these queries. I have created a datasource connection, my question here is can I use the same connection for all the queries by changing datasource connection and selecting the new query or is it suggestable to create 8 datasource connections in universe designer??
please let me know if you need any more info.
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Naresh

HI,
You need to create 8 connection for 8 BW queries.There is one to one mapping in the universe.If you change the existing connection source then it will not work for earlier query.
Other thing you can check like you have 8 queries then instead of creating 8 universe if possible then merge some queries in the single bw query and then create universe.
Thanks,

WebI report based on Universe upon SAP BEx Queries:Prompt issue

Hi,
I am creating Web Intelligence report using Universe based on SAP Bex Queries. In WebI report I created a filter condition as I need to run report based on two specidc dates. I need to schedule report to run 2nd of every month to show data for last month. At present I have the following filter : date between 'Start Date' and 'End Date'. 'Start Date' should always be 'first date of previous month' and End Date be always must be 'Last date of previous Month'. How to do this. The solution I thought would be to create variables at report/universe level ('first date of previous month' and 'Last date of previous Month') and use in the filter using 'Object from this Query' option.But this 'Object from this Query' option is missing in the prompt.Is there any work around to achieve this.? Could you please help me.
Nanda Kishore

Hi all,
I have a related question too.
I have 2 queries and need a Combined BEx query written on this for reporting. (WebI)
In the 2 queries, there is a Field which needs to be restricted.
But this field should not be restricted in the Combined BEx query.
So I thought of restricting the Field at the report level. But in this case, the user gets a prompt to enter a value for the field.
And this is not desirable as per the requirement.
COuld you please tell me if there is another way of handling this without the user being prompted to enter a value while the report is being run, but still I need selection at the Field level.
Thanks and Regards,

How can I access BOE Universes from SAP Portal?

I'm trying to access an Universe on BOE server from SAP Portal. Does anyone know if this is possible or not? Additions, is it possible to get access to the list of universes from the portal?

Hi Ingo,
I think we are talking about the same KM. Yes, I could see all folders from the BOE server inside portal KM repository. However, I could not see any of the universes. If I put a Webi document in one of the visible folders, then I can see the webi document.
If it is possible, I'd prefer not to go the other route to use SDK.
Thanks,
Garry

Merging data from SAP BEx queries with SQL - Keys are details not Dimension

I have a challenge when trying to merge data from a BEx query and a relational source in SQL Server.
I have a characteristic for Material, with an associated Material key that is a attribute of Material in the BEx query. On the SQL side I have a Material ID which is they unique identifier.
So when you Merge Dimensions in a WebI report, it is exactly that merging dimensions, so you link Material from BEx and Material ID from SQL. However, on the Bex side Material displays a long text field which will never join to the data from SQL which is an ID. The like for like objects are Material Key in BEx and Material ID in SQL, however, as Material Key from BEx is an attribute to manifests itself in WebI via a universe as a Detail object, which makes it unavailable for merging.
I have tried to set the Material characteristic to display as KEY in the BEx query design, but alas it still comes through as a long text, hence still not able to merge data sets.
Any workarounds ??
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
In universe designer, edit the material key detail object. Copy the text that refers to the characteristic attribute in your BEx query. Create a new dimension (say, 'Material Key') and paste this text as the definition.
Essentially you're turning a detail object into a dimension, which (in my limited experience) works just fine.
Let me know how you go.

Universe from multiple BEx queries

I have recently heard that more than one BEx query can be used to create universe.
Is it true? So far I have created universe with only one query. Currently we are planning for one universe per BEx query and thought of reducing the universe count.Someone please advice if its possible.

Hi,
there is no need to have the relationship of one query / Universe for one report in general.
Right now the only option to have BW sources linked together into a single Universe is the option to use Data Federator. Keep in mind that Data Federator is not using the BW query layer and instead it exposes a SQL view.

Tough Ask..
Because i have done dashboarding thru scritping (Dyanamic fashion tough) ..It is very good ..But when, coming to the one you asked i have the idea how it works but cannot really tell you wich would be better.
Each Route has its own limitations.That really depends on what exaclty your client is looking after..
So if you new to xcelsius and eager to learn ..I suggest you to give a go at all those..May be you can let me know wich is the best one..
1. QAWS,
2. Bex Query --> Crystal Reports --> Live office --> DashBoard.
3. Bex Query --> WebI --> Live Office --> Dashboard..
4. Webservices consuming BI Query,
5. Xcelsius SAP Netwever Connector.
But i suggest as of now use Xcelsius SAP netweaver Connnection...

How can i autoforward that mail from SAP INBOX to the outlook

Hi ,
My Requirement is that,
I have to send an email to outlook, whenever PO Created in SRM System
I have created custom workflow, i have added a sendmailtask step, i given the SAP userid to send SAP Mail to the user.
It is sending SAP Mail to the User to his inbox perfectly.
Now, how can i autoforward that mail from SAP INBOX to the outlook. This is has to work for all users.
Please give some suggestions. ot it can be achived any other way.
Note: This is Email Message not a workitem.
I have doubt that RSWW program will work only for workitems.*
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hi ST,
what I understand from your requirement is that you are able to send messages using SendMail Step to SAP Inbox and now you want it to be sent to users Outlook.
Here you need to create a container which would store users email address of Outlook (which would be stored in SU01 or in a ztable), use this container in your Send Mail step and in the Recepient Type as email.
Hope it helps.

How to generate Top sales report from SAP data ?

Hello experts,
I am completely a newbie to SAP BO , can any one guide me how to generate TOP sales of the year report from SAP data ?

Hi David,
First Let me know the Source & Tools to involve.
Let me go with the generic approach:
If the source is BW, then you can create the logic in query designer designer and then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard or webi or crystal report whatever its.
If the source is sql or anyother DB then it can also be achievable in crystal or webi to write the logic in top 10 values by ranking then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard, but here you can limit the top or bottom values.
Hope this helps, please revert for more clarifications on this.

How to handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?

Hi, Gurus.
I am working on IFbA with ABAP and Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
I've developed a function module in R/3 system and created webservice, connected the WSDL address to the form. The problem is how can i handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?
It's Ok if i bind the dataconnection node to the form element, but how can i handle data without binding to the form element? I mean that how can i use the data retrieved from Webserivce in the Javascript, please give me some sample code or script method.
Thanks.

Hi Yang,
If you are using Web Service, then the binding will be done automatically.
It can't grow automatically, what else should i do to achieve this?
1.Select the table(make sure you are not selecting subform) in Hierarchy view
2. Under table select the Row which is having the required fileds for data
3. In the Binding of that row, check the checkbox "Repeat Row for each item data" and under that check the Min Count which will set the default row **** to 1
