Interactive reports authorization issue ?

Hi All
I am working on CRM 7.0 , interactive reporting
As per SAP CRM interactive reports standards, employees can only see their opportunities and managers can see only the opportunities created by his team.
I need that all employees can see all the opportunities created by them or others and the managers also
What are the settings t be changed to enable this functionality
Regards
Fahim

Hi!
This is not possible with CRM interactive reporting unless you assign every employee to a manager role in the CRM Org Model (which would contradict it's purpose). Unfortunately, your request would contradict the central authorization principle behind interactive reporting.
Due to this fact and because the expected data volume would also probably be too large to be handled by interactive reporting, I recommend to use BW reporting instead. BW is much better designed for large data volumes, and you do not have the Org Model restrictions as in interactive reporting.

Reporting authorization issue after BI 701 05 EHP1 upgrade

Hello,
We have recently upgraded our BI 7.0 to BI 701 EHP1 with 05 patch level. After this we had a problem with reporting authorizations for a report (query), which has created under Virtual Infoprovider.
Earlier the report use to be execute perfectly with authorizations S_RS_ICUBE object with Act 03, Subobject DATA, but after upgrade to EHP1, while executing report its throwing a error pasted below.
=============================================================================================
"Diagnosis
Errors occured while reading a VirtualProvider outside the BI system. Check whether the previous error messages contains any information about the possible cause of this error.
It is possible that the error message can not be displayed because the error message class does not exist in the BI system. If this is the case, only the name of the error class and the message number are displayed. View the error class in the source system of the VirtualProvider.
System Response
Procedure
Since the error is not necessarily in the BI system, there is no specific procedure for resolving it. With VirtualProviders, problems often occure with the connection to the system; these can lead to system termination. If the code for the VirtualProvider is not from the SAP, contact the relevant person to help resolve the issue.
If an SQL error is listed in the previous message, see the procedure for SQL errors."
===============================================================================================
After running st01 trace we identified the missing authorization is S_RS_ICUBE with Act 03, subobject DEFINATION.
Here please tell why is the subobject check is performed to execute a report (query), as this is happening after EHP1 upgrade, so let me know if anyone had any clue on this ...
Thanks

Hi Martin,
Thanks for reply.
The assumption what you made are correct, but these are the possible reasons only. Is there any specific note or any info from sap that these changes came due to the new release change, so that i can tell my manager clearly.
And I am not sure whether this is impacting the reports which using the VirtualProviders (Virtual CUBE) in place. If you could get bit more information that will be helpful...Thanks in advance.

Interactive reports grouping issue.

Hi
I have a few interactive reports.
I need to be able to remove the GROUP BY clause on any field when that field is removed from view by using the Select Fields feature in interactive reports.
How can this be achieved?

Hi
i also faced such an issue and then i found the answer on metalink
Error: "An Interactive Reporting Service Error has Occurred. Failed to Acquire Requested Service. Error Code: 2001" when Processing a bqy Report in Workspace. [ID 1117395.1]
Applies to:
Hyperion BI+ - Version: 11.1.1.2.00 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
Obtaining the following error when trying to process a BQY that uses an Essbase data source in Workspace:
"An Interactive Reporting Service error has occurred. Failed to acquire requested service. Error Code: 2001".
Cause
The name of the data source in the CMC contained the machine name in fully qualified name format whereas the OCE contained the machine name only. This mismatch in machine names caused the problem. Making the machine name identical in both cases resolved the problem.
Solution
Ensure that the name of the data source as specified in the OCE in Interactive Reporting Studio matches the name specified in the CMC tool in the field "Enter the name of the data source".
In fact, all fields need to match between the OCE and the CMC Data Source.

Interactive Reports - Performance Issue

Hi All
We have been getting ORA-04030: out of process memory … more and more frequently since first implementing Interactive Reports. From Enterprise Manager we had a look at the most costly queries and the one that stands out the most is:
SELECT *
FROM WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_CONDITIONS
WHERE CONDITION_TYPE = ‘HIGHLIGHT’
AND WORKSHEET_ID = :B2
AND SECURITY_GROUP_ID = :B1
ORDER BY HIGHLIGHT_SEQUENCE, NAME I have done all I can with the memory configuration and we are in the process of upgrading the servers to 64 bit Linux.
However, I noticed that WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_CONDITIONS table has 400,000 rows and the above query is performing a full table scan on it. As the query is run each time an IR report is viewed, this could account for the problems. The DBAs are of the opinion that the indexing and query are optimal and cannot be improved, so the obvious solution is to archive and purge the table.
Of the 400k rows, 80% are session values linked to sessions that no longer exists. It would appear that each time a user adds a filter or highlight to an interactive report it is recorded as a session value in the WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_CONDITIONS table. When the user logs out and closes the session, the values remain in the table and aren't cleared!!!? We currently average about 90 users a day with 60,000+ page requests so 400,000 rows is way more than I would expect to see.
Am I missing something? How do redundant session values get purged from the ir flows tables? Is there a (supported) way for me to clear them?
This is a critical issue for me now and I have raised an SR on metalink, but if the forum could offer some advice or assistance it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Simon

Hi Varad
Thanks for your help. I have had a good play with the purge function and now I'm more confused than ever. First let me explain my test scenario: I have an application with an interactive report in which I am logged in and able to make session changes (without saving the reports). I am observing the session activity on the Interactive Report using the apex_application_page_ir_rpt view which is set to filter on the application and page number for the Interactive Report I am testing.
Test 1
User logs into application, adds a filter to the report.
Result: A new row appears in the apex_application_page_ir_rpt view
Administrator Purges all sessions > 10secs old
Result: The new row is removed from apex_application_page_ir_rpt view
Test 2
User logs into application, adds a filter to the report.
Result: A new row appears in the apex_application_page_ir_rpt view
User logs out of application
Result: The new row remains in the apex_application_page_ir_rpt view
Administrator Purges all sessions > 10 secs old
Result: The new row still remains in the apex_application_page_ir_rpt view view
I hope that makes sense. Why would the session values not be cleared if the user logs out first? Why are they not then cleared if all the sessions are purged?
I am hoping that someone else can repeat the test and see if they find the same result.
Cheers
Simon

Interactive Report Source Issue (Speed Related)

Hi,
I'm having a bit of an issue with an interactive report that forms the basis of an app i am creating. This was running fine until i decided to switch up the number of test rows from 100k to 5 million. The source for the report is as follows
SELECT
a.field_1,
a.field_2,
a.field_3,
a.field_4,
a.field_5,
a.field_6,
a.field_7
FROM
table_a a
where
(a.field_1 = :P1_VARIABLE_1
or :P1_VARIABLE_1 is null)
and (a.field_2 = :P1_VARIABLE_2
or :P1_VARIABLE_2 is null)
and (a.field_3 = :P1_VARIABLE_3
or :P1_VARIABLE_3 is null)This takes about 60 seconds to run in the application environment when the variables are populated (far too slow) and less than 1 second when the variables are null. So far i have been unable to recreate this issue in PLSQL developer, i.e. when i run this query with substituted values for the variables it runs fine, the issue only occurs when running in the application. The search fields are indexed and i don't think this is the problem. I have changed the where clause of the query to the following:
where
a.field_1 = :P1_VARIABLE_1
and a.field_2 = :P1_VARIABLE_2
and a.field_3 = :P1_VARIABLE_3and this also runs in less than a second both in and out of apex (only with populated variables, without there are no results which is why i can't use this..), which i found very confusing. Has anyone come across any similar problems to this before? I really don't understand what's going on!
Here's some of the debug:
select
       null as apxws_row_pk,
       "FIELD_1",
       "FIELD_2",
       "FIELD_3",

Report Authorization issues after Authorization Migration in BI 7.0

Hi SAPians,
we are facing report access for the customers after migration of authorizations (3.x to 7.0). All these are Customer reports and need to restrict their customer codes only. In two ways, i have tried to resolved this.
1. Roles - Maintained Customer Number in the authorized object CUSTOMER - Not working.
2. Created new authorization object through RSECADMIN and maintained the Customer Number with proper activity, validity etc.. - Not Working
(For Ex. Customer Number is "11500" and length of Char is 10)
While executing the report, i am getting below error:
Value "0000011500" for variable "Customer Authorization(Multiple Optional)" is invalid
Message no. BRAIN643
Diagnosis
Characteristic value "0000011500" is not valid for variable Customer Authorization(Multiple Optional).
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
It depends of the way your authorizations has been setup. If you did it role based or profiles direct to the customer. You should also look into the fact that the migration tool can create direct a profile (not a role with a profile). My way of working in a role based application was that I looked for the roles with objects s_rs_mpro, s_rs_icub, s_rs_odso, s_rs_iset(these are the objects that needs to be replaced with RSECADMIN) and the own build objects with rssm. I added the authorization object s_rs_auth to the role and the new objects made with RSECADMIN. If you transport then the roles and objects made in RSECADMIN it works good. Bottom line beaware of profiles that are not created by the profile generator.
Have fun

Reporting authorization issue

Hi all,
After transporting roles, users, authorizations, queries and workbooks from Dev into Prod we have an authorization problem. There is a message during the opening of workbook or a web-query that says: "Your user master record is not sufficiently maintained for object XXX". After that the connection with the server is broken.
TX SU53 shows the message: "The user has no authorization on this authorization object".
Checking everyting in RSSM and PFCG didn't solve the problem. Comparing all relevant items in Dev with Prod showed no differencies. What may cause a problem and where to look to figure it out? In Dev everything works fine.
Thanks in advance.
Eugene

Did you check the authorization objects for the InfoProvider? In TC RSSM you can check, if an authorization object is switched on for an InfoProvider.
There could be a difference between D and P, depending on the order of your transports. An authorization objects gets activated automatically for an InfoCube, if it already exists, when the cube is created. If you create an authorization object but the cube already exists, you have to manualy switch it on, if it should be active.
That means: if you first transported the authorization objects and then transported the InfoCubes, all authorization objects would be active in the cubes.
Did you do an authorizatio trace (TC ST01)? That could give you additional information as well.

Issue with Date showing Null in interactive report

I created an interactive report for a customer and was confused to see blanks or more specifically dashes where there should be dates in one of the fields. I knew this field should have data so I did some testing and this is what I have found:
The sql I am running is:
select
assigned_to_company,
last_resolved_date,
incident_id
from
rhpd0009_im_adherence_rpt2_vw
When I run the command in SQL workshop I get the following results with data in the last_resolved_date field:
[http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/yogibayer/apexdateissuesqlcommand.jpg]
I copied and pasted the SQL from SQL workshop and created a new interactive report and got the following results with no last_resolved_dates showing up:
[http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/yogibayer/apexdateissueinteractivereport.jpg]
For some reason the order is different, but the first one INC1117629 shows up in both of them and has a last_resolved_date in SQL workshop, but not in the interactive report. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Scott

Varad,
It seems to be related to the function we use to convert Remedy dates to Viewable dates. Remedy dates are stored as an integer that represents the absolute number of seconds from Jan 1, 1970 at 12:00 AM. We use a function that converts this number into a human readable date. I have tried encapsulating the result of the function in a TO_DATE and a TO_CHAR with the same results as before. There is something about the resulting data from the date convert function that Apex doesn't like. It would be interesting to isolate what exactly the issue is, but right now I'm just trying to find a work around.
Thank You

BI 7.0 Analysis Authorization issue: some reports displaying a blank page.

Hi All,
This is regarding BI 7.0 Analysis Authorization issue.
Overview:
we have restricted some queries at infoobject level.
Issue:
a. For some of the queries, we can see the selection screen but when we try to execute the query by clicking on the execute button (Queries WAD) we get a blank page, meaning nothing is displayed on the output (white/Blank screen).
b. When we execute the same query through RSRT, we get a message which says "Disconnecting from BW server..".
c. Let me explain further on this. Basically we are doing this in order to have limited access to Auditors at the client side. At the same time normal users should not get impacted due to this, hence we created two roles. One for normal users and other for Auditors.
d. Now the thing is that we execute the same report with normal user ID's the report executes properly and displays the output. it does not show the blank page.
e. But when we execute the same report with Auditors ID then we get a blank page.
Any idea why this is so?

Hi Neha,
I tried the below also,
GL Acnt
I EQ 0000134010
I EQ :
but still it didn't work.
No Infoobject is missing in Authorization Object.
For your point, "rsecadmin - > analysis -> execute as -> check for the desired user & analyze the log" it didnu2019t allow me to analyze, since as soon as click on execute button a pop-up comes up saying "Disconnecting from the BW server..."
As mentioned earlier also it is giving me the below message,
""I>> Row: 103 Inc: AUTHORITY_02 Prog: CL_RSR_RRK0_AUTHORIZATION RS_EXCEPTION 301CL_RSR_RRK0_AUTHORIZATION AUTHORITY_02"
Kindly suggest, since this is a show-stopper for us!
Thanks,

Interactive Report Download CSV file Issue (output includes separator BR)

Hi,
I have a Interactive Report and displaying the column values (multiple values in same ROW) as mentioned below.
SQL Query

from emp
IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA,BBB,CCC, ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX,YYY,ZZZ, ...    // - Row 2 Now I want to display each employee in a new Line, so modified the SQL Query
Modified SQL Query
select deptno,
       REPLACE(function1(empno),',','<br>') empno
from emp
New IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA
           BBB
           CCC
           ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX
           YYY
           ZZZ
            ...    // - Row 2 SO, Interactive Report Out put looks fine and that's the way we want.
But the problem is when I download the Report in CSV or in PDF using the Action Menu -> Download..
I am getting break line B R in the output, and also I have two different output in CSV for two different column. [Logic is same for both the columns.]
CSV output1
Employee No
AAA<br>BBB<br>CCC
XXX<br>YYY<br>ZZZI have other columns also with multiple values...for that column, I am getting the following CSV output
CSV output2
City List
1111<br>
2222<br>
3333<br>So, in CSV for one column, I am getting all the values in same line with the seperator B R (Output1)
for other column, I am getting values in new line with the separator B R. (Output2)
Is there a way to FIX this CSV or PDF output for Interactive Report.
I DON'T WANT THE SEPARATOR BR in CSV and also the values should always be in New Line.
I want to have the following Output in CSV
Employee No
AAA
BBB
CCCThanks,

Thanks.. Jari.. for the quick response.
I updated my SQL query with Chr(10) and added the code in Page HTML header.
Now the CSV & PDF output are fine..getting each individual value in seperate line (no BR tag)
BUT in the Interactive Report Output, I am now getting first 2 values in 1 line, then next value in next line, and so on..
IR Output
Employee
AAA BBB
CCCCCCC
DDDDDI have few more issues with CSV & PDF output
1. In PDF is there a way to increase the column width, as for some of the columns, the values are getting truncated.
2. For some of the columns in IR Report, I have user BR tag in Column Heading and this also come in CSV output (column heading with BR tag), is there a way to fix this. In PDF Column headings are fine (no BR tag)
and by the way..what exactly this does.

Issues with the Radio Group and interactive report

Hi,
I have an interactive report that shows customer names and associated revenues... I want my users to be able to filter customer list by Province and by City in a way that when the user select a province then only associated cities show up (driven by a table)... for the filtration I am using 2 Radio Group items (one for Provinces and the other one for Cities)
Everything is working fine, except for the fact that when I select a province (let's say Prov A) and then select a city (let's say City A1) and again when I select another Province (let's say Prov B) I get the list of all cities associated to Prov B + city A1... Not sure why my previous selection of City is showing up with the list of new cities when I change the province... I SHOULD BE ABLE TO REST ALL CITIES WHEN A NEW PROVINCE IS SELECTED
here is the code
For interactive report
select     CUSTOMER_NAME,
     SUM(YTD) AS YTD
from     T_TABLEA
where
(PROVINCE=
CASE
when :P2_PROV = 'All' THEN PROVINCE
ELSE :P2_PROV
END
and
(CITY=
CASE
when :P2_CITY = 'All' THEN CITY
ELSE :P2_CITY
END
GROUP BY CUSTOMER_NAME
For Province Radio Group I am using a static list:
STATIC2:All;All,Alberta;AB,Ontario;ON,Quebec;PQ,British Columbia;BC
For City, I am using a dynamic list using following code:
select 'All', 'All' return from dual
union
select distinct INITCAP(CITY) display_value, CITY return_value
from T_TABLEA
where
Province = :P2_PROV
order by 1
Thanks

Check the session state of items P2_PROV and *:P2_CITY* when the issue occurs and run the LOV query separately with the session state values.
If that too fetches it wrongly, then you would need to change your query.

Saving Interactive reports in a SaaS context an issue?

Hi,
at the company I'm working for, we have an application that is used by different client. Each client uses the same application but they all have different CSS and they can customize things like they want. To diffentiate each client, obviously we use different ID.
Now, we haven't move to 3.1 yet (still 3.0) and we find the interactive report interesting. But when it comes to the "save report" function. That's where using the same application for different clients becomes an issue. Each user can save their own report with their own filters. But since, APEX recognize the user only by it's username, if 2 users from 2 different clients share the same username, the changes made by user 1 will be seen by user 2 and vice versa.
We have a 3.1 environment and I've tested the above and indeed, that is the case. Could we find a workaround? Where are the reports information saved?
Thanks, Reginald

Now here's something that was pointed out to me : What happens when you change username? By the way things are working, I would think that you automatically lose your saved reports right?
Now, I was wondering if there could be a way to override the APP_USER value, or if it can only be modified by the APEX login API? Because, I thought, that maybe I could put the userid instead of the username in the APP_USER, so that even if the user changes his username, he would still have all his saved reports.
Now I thought about puting the username entered in an application item, then passing the userid in the login API, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense, because it would mean that I would go get the userid before the person is not even validated to the system. It would probably work, but I don't think it's a clean way of doing things. So the best would be to actually override the APP_USER while IN my custom login function that is called by the API.
If I'm correct, the p_password parameter of my custom function is assigned to APP_USER once that function returns true, right?
I know that is a lot of questions! So, thanks a lot for your time!
