IIF not accepting Dimensions in a OLAP Universe using Bex Query

Hi,
We have an issue with Prompted object , u2018IIFu2019 expression is not taking dimension object in u2018Thenu2019 clause, it takes only the measure object.
Below are the two expressions one with measure and other with dimension, object with measure works fine and dimension doesnu2019t.
Dimension u2013 Prompted trend (Fails with Error)
<EXPRESSION>IIF(@Prompt('Select a time period trend view','A',{'Fiscal_Year','Fiscal_Year_and_Quarter','Fiscal_Year_and_Month','Calendar_Year', 'Calendar_Year_and_Quarter','Calendar_Year_and_Month'},mono,constrained)= Fiscal_Year,@Select(Fiscal Dates\Fiscal Year),A)
</ EXPRESSION >
Measure u2013 Prompted trend (Works fine)
<EXPRESSION>IIF(@Prompt('Select a time period trend view','A',{'Fiscal_Year','Fiscal_Year_and_Quarter','Fiscal_Year_and_Month','Calendar_Year', 'Calendar_Year_and_Quarter','Calendar_Year_and_Month'},mono,constrained)= Fiscal_Year,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (Local)),0)
</EXPRESSION>
Has anyone tried to do this in a different way
Thanks,
Anu

Hi,

Dynamic Prompts in Universe using BEx query

hi,
We have create an object in BO Universe using @prompt. the formula goes like this.
<EXPRESSION>IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= USD,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (USD)),IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= EUR,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (EUR)),IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= GBP,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (GBP)),IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= JPY,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (JPY)),IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= AUD,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (AUD)),IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= LOCAL_CURRENCY,@Select(Actuals\Actual Amt (Local)),IIF(@Prompt('Enter Currency','A',{'USD','EUR','GBP','JPY','AUD','LOCAL_CURRENCY','DOCUMENT_CURRENCY'},mono,constrained)= DOCUMENT_CURRENCY,@Select(Line Item Detail in Doc Currency\Line Item Doc Currency Amt),0)))))))
</EXPRESSION>
The objects Actual\Actual Amt (USD) works , but when using these objects are used in this kind of expression, its not working. It does a memory leak on the SAP BW side.
has anyone faced this issue and fixed it?
Thanks,
Anu

You can-not return characteristics via <EXPRESSION> tag.
In fact right now it is not possible to do substring and similar operations. You can only create objects which returns numeric
value.

Diff Ways to Create OLAP Universe using BI/BW DataSource?

Hi Experts,
I konw there are two diff ways to create olap universe using BI/BW datasource.
1. Uisng InfoCube
2. Using BEx Query..
so.. I need you help to know when we use InfoCube and When We use BEx Query.
Can you please explain me in details and give me some pros and cons using each connection ..if there is any documentations please provide me ...
Thanks

Hi sap mdm1980,
The characteristic InfoProvider (0TCTIFPROV) refers to the technical name
of an InfoProvider. In BI, queries can be created on an InfoProvider or an
InfoProvider can be used for reporting.
An InfoProvider is generic term for all the DataTargets and Virtual Providers
(VirtualProvider or MultiProvider). An InfoProvider may or may not contain data.
Infocube is type of an infoprovider
An InfoCube describes (from an analysis point of view) a self-contained dataset,
for example, for a business-orientated area. You analyze this dataset in a BEx query.
An InfoCube is a set of relational tables arranged according to the star schema:
A large fact table in the middle surrounded by several dimension tables.
InfoCubes are filled with data from one or more InfoSources or other InfoProviders.
They are available as InfoProviders for analysis and reporting purposes.
The data is stored physically in an InfoCube

Hello I'm trying to update my applications and it is asking me to sign in and checking my billing account .it is not accepting my billing account that I use tried to change it several time it didn't work .what can I do to solve it?

What happens when you try to confirm your details, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ? For a card to be accepted (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address as on your account, and have been issued by a bank in your country. If it's not being accepted then do you get the 'none' option on your account ?

Universe on BEX query - Measures Question !!

Hello All,
I am building a Universe on BEx Query.
We have the following environment:
SAP BOE XI 3.1 SP2 FIX Pack 2.5
Integration KIT SP2 FIX PACK 2.5
SAP BW 701 Level 6
I see that in the BEX query the KF have technical names as "ZZRKF_Amount".
But, when this query is brought into Universe, I see the tech names as
[[4J922TWKO24NHTROOEY3WXK72]].[[4J922URARWJHKBXHBR7H15F26]]
I would like to see this as [[MEASURE]].[[ZZRKF_Amount]].
Does anyone know how to do it?
Your help & time is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
In the Universe Designer, select Tools ->options. In the OLAP tab, there is option to select as generate technical names as details.
I guess this may help you.
If still facing the same issue, then follow the user guide from the below link:

BO Universe on BeX Query in Lumira

Hi All,
I have a requirement of accessing a BeX query in Lumira and do visualizations on it. As Lumira is not capable of accessing BeX query directly, I think, I would need to create a universe on InfoCube, for that BeX query, and then consume that universe in Lumira. Thereafter, I would need to create different datasets for different queries.
Now, I have two questions:
1. Is this approach correct? Is there any other more efficient methos than this?
2. Can I create a universe on BeX query directly? Is it possible?
When I'm following first approach (universe on InfoCube using IDT) and trying to consume that universe in Lumira, I am getting below error:
And when I'm following 2nd approach (universe on BeX query using UDT), I am not able to view that .unv in List of Available universes in Lumira.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Purnima

Explanation on the error you faced:
The data acquisition of medium-large, large, and very large datasets from UNV or UNX universes is not supported on default installations of both SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platforms 4.0 and 4.1.
It is recommended for customers that want to acquire such datasets to install a SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform (SAP BIP) server dedicated to SAP Lumira and significantly increase the value of the Maximum Character Stream Size of the Web Intelligence Processing Server on that particular server. Note that increasing this value on a running SAP BIP server can impact the memory consumption and performance of any BI clients tool running on that installation, particularly Web Intelligence. While this practice is not formally discouraged, we advise customers implementing this solution that they might face memory consumption increases and longer document data refreshes so they will need to monitor the SAP BIP server's behavior adequately to control the impacts.
Can you try to place some filters to limit the data volume retrieved?
Best regards
Antoine

Date Prompt through not resolved in webi on OLAP Universe

Hi,
I am using BO XI 3.1 with latest fix pack.
I have created a OLAP universe based on SSAS 2005 Multicube for reporting using WebI
I have Date field in my SSAS cube and i created a universe based on that cube , but my Date field changed to Character in the Universe Layer.
My requirement is that i need to create a a prompt over that field in the webi report using a CALENDAR to enter the value instead of entering the value manually.
I changed the type of field for the date field from CHARACTER to DATE in the OLAP Universe level and exported it in order to see the calendar prompt ( as the calendar component is visible for the data type of DATE) .
This conversion don't seems to work for me due to the conversion from Char to Date even if i have the data for particular date i cannot see the records but if manually type the value for that same date without converting the Date format to type Date.
I also tried the MDX stuff and created :
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[PERIOD SD].[DB Full Date].[DB Full Date]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="format"@Prompt('Enter Date ','A',,,{1/1/2009})"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
but problem is still the same .
So can you suggest about unusual behavior of the Universe Layer.
Kindly suggest .
Regards,
Vibhav

Hi,
First I think you have to create a support ticket because normally the object in the universe must be generated with data data type nad it is not the case.
We are awere of some limitations with data types.
Secondly, if you want to have users entering date you have to specify date in the prompt data type like this:
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[PERIOD SD].[DB Full Date].[DB Full Date]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Enter Date ','D',,mono,free)"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>

Cnnection error while creating universe on Bex Query in BW

Hi
I am getting connection error while connecting to BW Bex query.
The error i am getting while creating universe is A runtime exception has occured Error getting levels for hierarchy dimension .....:Unknown error.
After this
Also while creating universe no key figures/measures are getting generated from Bex query to designer.
Also in Bex query which are created as mandatory variables comes as Prompts in webi.
But when I try to parse in Condition filter it is throwing error.
Currently that mandatory variable is From Date and To Date
Is we require to change the prompt syntax in Condition filter.
Also kindly suggest solution for Connection error as impemtation is getting affected.
Regards
Gaurav Mang

Hi
R u saying allow external acces in BEX query.This option in Bex Query designer.
Or In whether while creating universes under properties tab there is use of OLAP universes option has to be made to Yes.
This both things we have tried
Let me know any other option to be tried.

Creating a Universe on Bex Query --- Information Design Tool 4.0

Hi,
I am creating a Universe on a BeX Query, based on my understanding from the documentation i dont have to create a data foundation layer and i can directly call the connection in the Business Layer.
when I create a business layer and select OLAP connection (BICS connection), I get an error "this connection is not supported".
I was trying to look for a solution but i haven't found anything yet. Did anyone else encounter this issue. Please Share.
Regards,
Sheikh Hassan Ayub

HI there,
I read somewhere that the support for BEx Queries are done via Relational Connection. However, the BICS connection is only available via OLAP connection.
I was able to successfully create an OLAP Connection with BEx Queries. However when I do a Business Layer with this OLAP connection it says ERROR, not supported.
I havent tested creating a relational and thus having a Data Foundation yet as I am still have issues with my installation with ports.
Anyway, let me know if you are able to create a relational connection.
I'd be interested to hear your experience.
Regards,
Iris
P.S. the connection needs to be published.

Universe on Bex Query with Condition

Hi,
I'm working on creating a WebI version of a Bex Report. I've created a universe on top of the Bex Query and then a WebI report based on the Universe. The Bex Query contains 4 conditions. They allow optional filtering of two measures, Less Then or Equal and Greater Then or Equal. The conditions are applied at the employee level of the results set, so for example, if an employee's total sales is greater than 50 and the user enters 50 for the condition then none of that employee's rows of data will appear.
A single filter was created in teh Universe containing all four conditions. I had to update the syntax as they were all brought in using Equals instead of the GreaterorEqual and LessOrEqual. I also updated the filter key to use the @Select and the correct dimension.
In the WebI report, only the two using LessOrEqual are functional. The two conditions that utilize GreaterOrEqual will only remove individual rows, not the enter set of rows for that employee. I've set the aggregation to sum instead of Database Delegated for the two affected measures.
If anyone has any input on how to get the GreaterOrEqual conditions functioning properly, or a workaround that will remove all rows for an employee when their sales are not above a cert number, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Also here is the syntax for one of the filters that is not functioning properly.
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="@Select(Total Quantity of Adjustments\Total Quantity of Adjustments)"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="GreaterOrEqual"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Minimum Quantity of Adjustments','N',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>

How to create olap cube using Named Query Table in Data source View

I Create on OLAP Cube using Existing Tables Its Working Fine But When i Use Named Query Table with RelationShip To other Named query Table It Not Working .So give me some deep Clarification On Olap Cube for Better Understanding
Thanks

Hi Pawan,
What do you mean "It Not Working"？ As Kamath said, please post the detail error message, so that we can make further analysis.
In the Data Source View of a CUBE, we can define a named query. In a named query, you can specify an SQL expression to select rows and columns returned from one or more tables in one or more data sources. A named query is like any other table in a data source
view (DSV) with rows and relationships, except that the named query is based on an expression.

SubStr function in Universe on BEx Query

Hi SAP BO experts,
We have a universe based on SAP BEx Query with an object "WBS Element", a 24 Character field from which we need to resolve certain sections as different objects for reporting purpose. One of the objects required is first 8 chars (WBS Project No.) Following code is used in object definition.
<EXPRESSION>Substr(@Select(WBS Element\WBS Element), 1, 8)</EXPRESSION>
Parsing is OK at universe level.
Webi query without "WBS Project No" is running OK but when "WBS Project No" is used, I get an error - invalid MDX command (WIS 10901).
What is the correct syntax? Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Venkat

You can-not return characteristics via <EXPRESSION> tag.
In fact right now it is not possible to do substring and similar operations. You can only create objects which returns numeric

WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to use the WebElements when creating a report on a BW source (BEx) query. I have used WebElements quite a lot on non-SAP sources and works like a charm. Now I would like to use it on a SAP environment, but the controls are not displaying, only the HTML text.
Can anyone provide some insight to whether the WebElements are compatible on a SAP environment in Crystal or s there something special that needs to be done here.
Thanks
Jacques

Dear Jamie & Jacques,
Is there any news regarding this issue? I'm having the same issue here. I'm using BW datasource. My BOE, Crystal Report 2008, and Integration Kit are all on SP3 (with no FP applied yet).
All the WebElements components are shown as HTML tag.
But actually when i tried to remove the Datasource, the WebElements also don't show up. I've followed up all the instructions on the WebElements guide, and on the SDN link below.
I added WECalculator and WEBuilder using formula syntax below to the report. But they only show up as HTML tag.
Formula @calc (component WECalculator)
WECalculator ("number", "0", "Integer", "Enter an Integer value.")
Formula @builder (component WEBuilder)
stringvar allelements:= {@calc};
WEBuilder(allelements, 1)
I've done everything as per the guide and SDN link below:
browser interpretation
[Interpreting WebElements in the browser;
1) ensure that Can Grow is not checked on for the formulae that contain any webelements.
done
2) ensure that the formula in the designer is only 1 line in height...these 2 are required to make pass through html work in the viewers
done, i insert the 2 formulas to report and it appears as 1 single line.
3) the web server should be restarted after making the change to the web.xml file
done
if the above don't work please provide some more info such as
a) which version of business objects enterprise you are using
BOE, Crystal Report, and Integration Kit all on SP3. Below are the installation files i used (downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace).
Server
1. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 (ENTERPRISE03_0-10007443.EXE)
2. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Server installation
Client
1. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Client installation
2. Crystal Report 2008 v1 (SP3) Win Server on IA32 32bit Full Build (51038906.ZIP)
b) what viewer are you using
I ran the rpt file (saved without using .rpt extension) through InfoView.
c) does the select menu show up in the crystal reports designer html preview mode
It only shows up as HTML tag as well in the Crystal Report designer HTML preview mode.
Please help me.
Kind regards,

I want to change apple ID to new gmail addr. But it wont let me swap my current ID address with new one because the new one is default one and in use so it's not accepted. Imget themessage already in use so how do I simply swap positions of 2 email adr?

How tonswap new email address for old one in apple ID. When I try to make my new gmail address my apple ID it won't accept it because it's already in use as my rescue email. I'd like my other email to be rescue email and gmail to be apple ID but their edit account area won't take the address simce it's already in use. I just want to swap them!

Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
