Integration from dashboard to WebI report in BI 4.0

Hi All,
I have migrated dashboards(created in Xcelsius 2008 SP3), reports (created in BOXI 3.1), and corporate dashboards(Created in BOXI 3.1 environment) to SAP BI 4.0 environment. The dashboards and reports are working fine when they are not integrated with each other. The corporate dashboards(BI Workspaces in BI 4.0) contains a dashboard and a report. According to the selections in the dashboard, the report should be triggered with the parameters passed from the dashboard. But when I migrated, the BI workspaces are not passing the parameter from the dashboard to report. I had verified the parameter passing and Content linking.
Since I am new to SAP BI 4.0, I am not aware of the problems may happen in the migration of Corporate dashboards from BOXI 3.1 to BI 4.0. So can anyone please help me to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Neelakandan

Hi Neelakandan,
I have never worked with FS commands. But i doubt some restrictions are there for FS commands in adobe flash 9 and above. Please confirm it by referring the topic 8.2.3 FS command restrictions in the Dashboard and presentation design user guide. see the link below.

Also please check if you can do the same using external interface connection. I believe it is possible.Please refer below thread also.

Facing problem while Jumping to a R/3 transaction from a BW WEB report

Hi all,
we are trying to create a jump query from a BW web report to a transaction IQ09 in R/3. we are able to create a jump to other transactions like MIGO...but cudnt for IQ09.
Will there be any transaction specific settings that i have to make.
Please let us know how to solve this?
Regards,
Bob

So, when you do a jump, where does it take you to?
Are the required input fields for IQ09 supplied when you do a jump? Do you know if your id has authorization to view this Tcode in R3?

Calling a BSP from a BW web report RRI

Hi,
I am calling a BSP from a BW Web Report to Report Interface and during the call all users have to authenticate themselves. It is not an option to turn authentication off for audit purposes but is there any way of performing automatic authentication?
Both the web report and BSP are on the same BW instance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paul.

Just activate SSO2 for your application servers.

Dashboard with Webi Report link - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for
"Web Service Query"

Date selection from Calendar in Web Reporting

Hi All,
We are on BI 7.0 SP 15. When I run the web reports, I do not get a calendar pop-up for the date variables. I get the calendar in BEx Analyzer but not in the web reports? Have any of you encountered this issue and if so, what is the solution?
Help appreciated.

Doniv

I think in 3.5 WAD system, this could be achieved using table interface.............Since 7.0 does not support Table Interface, this might be achieved using javascript .......code

Passing Parameter from Dashboard to WebI

Hi All,
I need to pass the value that I select from the dashboard to a WebI document.
I have the code below which is not working.
openAnalytic.jsp?DocumentName=Test&RepositoryType=C&DocumentId=9413&DocumentExt=wid&nbPrompts=1&sWindow=New&mode=ful&sRefresh=Y&lsSYear="+[Year]+"
Now in the above code when i remove
="+[Year]+"
from the last and put the year as
2001,2002 or any..It use to give me the result.It opens up the reprot with the year showing 2001 or 2002 etc.
Please help me in the code to pass the value that i select in the graph of a dashboard.
I am Using BOXI R2
Regards

Prashant,
If you are going to a WebI document, I think you should be using the OpenDocument feature. Are you familiar with OpenDocument? If not, it is described in be_xi_r2_opendocument.pdf

BIP Report Parameters not visible from Dashboard in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

Hello All,
After upgrading to the OBIEE 11.1.1.7 we are facing this issue. In the earlier versions of 11g it was working fine.(11.1.1.6)
When BIP reports are placed on dashboard as embedded content or as Link and opened from dashboard the BIP reports are missing the parameters section.where as the same report when opened directly from the catalog we are able to see the parameters.
Is any one facing the same issue? Is there any option to show the parameters from dashboard or its natural behavior of 11.1.1.7 or a bug?
Suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
V

V
so you are not able to see the parameter before running the report as embeded content or as a link ? do you want to show a link for the report in your dashboard ?
i havent faced this issue YET but i believe that 11.1.1.7 has some issues/bugs with the parameter
i have found a bug which is " dunno if you are facing it as well or not " but wheen you choose all values and apply parameter it just error out, i have opened an SR and after too many OWC they have told me its a bug.
BTW have you applied the latest patch ?

Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

Hi
We are having Backend as SAP BW.
Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi, we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes to open.
This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
So can you suggest any solution?

Hi Gaurav,
We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
(so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
this will result in that object being added to the result set.
Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
(less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
Good luck!

Open a webi report from a Dashboard components

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard using Dashboards 4.0.It has a bar chart,line chart,combination chart.all these chart on X-Axis have month names as dimensions and y - axis shows different measures.
So now the requirement is the user wants to select any month from any one of the chart at one particular point of time.then the dashboard should open a Detailed Webi report( created in BI Launch pad) for the selected month and display that month data in a new window.
I know that we have to use the URL button in Dashboards for linking a webi document.
However i would like to know how to pass the selected month from the dashboard by selecting a particular month from any of the graph component as a parameter to the respective Webi report in BI Launch pad.
Hence any body how to implement this in Dashboards please let me know the step by step process.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Naga Nanda Kishore.

Hi Kishore,
Month name should be prompt for the Detail Webi Report, so when u clicked on bar its going to carry that Month as Well. And Syntax for adding Month will be like below.
Suppose if it is Sample Open Doc:
/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC
So u have to use this Syntax for Month
lsSMonth=+ Map the Cell where month is capturing. (Note:In lsSMonth Month is next of Prompt for month in Detailed Report.
And final URL will be
"/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?mistype=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC&lsSMonth=+Selected Month"
(Open Doc) (Sending (Selected Month) Month)
And For trigger the URL button you have keep trigger URL when Month Value changes(Based on Selection), means you have map trigger cell to destination of Bar chart Month Destination.
Thanks and Regards

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,
As per your reply,with the promotion managament i have make the web services again manually in Dev system...Right?
Is there any way possible that i can transport the webservices and the webi reports usind Query AS A Web Service Designer. And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.
Can you please help?

Open the WebI report from Xcelsius dashboard

Hi All,
I would like to know how to open the WebI report from the xcelsius dashboard.
Looking at the previous posts I followed the following steps to implement the same but that is not working.
Inserted the component URL button and used the folowing link:
http://servername/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sIDType=XXX
But this is givingerre: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
Also, tried the copying the reprot link, but that is opening the Infoview login page.
I want the report to opened when we click the URL button.
Could someone please provide me a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sindhu

did you try passing the iDocID parameter? When prompted did you try to login to InfoView and check whether Report gets displayed?
Ideally the URL should be as below:
[http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<cuid_of_the_document>]
If you want to bypass the logon screen,you need to modify the OpenDocument.jsp to pass logon token to the above URL i.e.token=+token where the +token is being retrieved by sdk.

Link from WEBI chart to WEBI report

All, how can I link a WEBI chart (column) chart to an detail WEBI report. Appreciate any inputs.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi Ann,
You can use the chart bars as reportfilter (much like the dropdown box filter effect),
It is actually implemented as an input control, so you can control a detail table below the chart by clicking on a chart bar.
However hyperlink from the table is not possible in BI40 (yet).
(Right click the table, Linking, Add element link).
So you either have to use the data in the same report option, or use the hyperlink option from a table cell...
(Right click the cell, Linking, Add hyperlink).
As I noticed you are using BICS, before jumping to using dashboards (FKA excelsius), be aware that the BICS connectivity in there is still the version running on BW, so unlike a WebI report, you have to publish the dashboard in BW and access it via an SAP portal environment, you cannot run it directly from within BI launchpad (in BI41 this will change). So to link from the portal environment to the BI launchpad for the WebI document you would need some portal integration work too.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Passing hierachy node variable from BW to BO Webi Report in open doc link

Hello All,
We are working on BW-BO integration and creating Webi reports based on Bex queries.
The question is regarding passing of a hierachy node value from BW to BO through open doc link.
I see that when we pass hierarchy node value, we have to associate that with the corresponding infoobject technical name in the link but not sure in what format it has to be sent.
For example, if ARM is the node value and 0HIERNODE is the infoobject , how should we send this value to BO.
Please help.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Tangudu S

You cannot change anything here. You should really find out how the values are retrieved from the database
THere is another option:
1) Activate the tracing on your BOBJ server
Check the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes) for that:
Unix: Note 1235111
Windows: Note 1260004
2) Run your WebI report from the InfoView by choosing first the desired hierachy node value from the LOV of your prompt.
3) Extract the MDX statement from the log file. It should contain the value for the hierarchy node. Copy this to the URL
It is easier to find this out if you have access to a Crystal Reports Designer installation. Do you?

Stratos
