Interactive WEBI reporting

Friends,
We have a requirements where we want to enable WEBI as interactive tool where clients can create reports from our company website. We have a Company website which is not SAP EP. Today we have static crystal reports where users log in and access these reports.
For example. We have a BW query which has 10 fields. When the Clients logs in to our website they should be able to create adhoc reports, drill down reports based on these 10 fields. Can we use WEBI for this? is there any BO tool for this requirement.
Surya

Surya,
You still need to create a UNX that be leveraged by WebI. You have two options:
- You can create stating WebI document and create a URL directly to that WebI link for doing ad-hoc
- You would need to use SDK to by-pass the BI Launch pad and direct them as needed.

Ajay

Interactive PowerView report (Incl Map) load to Web site

Hi,
What is the best, easiest & quickest way to load an existing Interactive PowerView report & map to an existing Web site (not Shharepoint)? Interactivity is required after loading.
Regards,
Allan

Hi Allan,
If you want to display a Power View report in a normal PHP or ASP .NET Website, the only way I can think of is that to open the power View Excel document from SharePoint (it should render as a web app) and copy the URL and then use it in your website.
But I don't think you can interact with this 'report'. the SharePoint should be the best option for you to Presenting Power View Reports to Users, since it totally support the Power View report feature.

Want to view Webi report in interactive mode in EP

Hi,
I am currently doing BO Integration with SAP 7.0. I have done the Integration successfully & have imported roles. Our requirement is that the reports needs to be viewed in EP. I have done the EP portal integration as per the installation document. I can view my CR & webi reports from portal. But my client wants to view the webi reports in Interactive mode as he views in BO Infoview 3.1. I can't find any work around for this.. can anyone help me in viewing the webi report in interactive mode inside EP.
Right now am viewing the report in html format, which is the default, (report viewer.do). Is there any functionality or other viewer name to make my requirement possible
I have installed SAP BO 3.1 & BO Integration Kit 3.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thank you,
Ash

Hi,
you can integrate the viewing of Web Intelligence using OpenDocument or using the KM Integration. The type of the viewer then depends on the user preferences configured in InfoView.

Launch Interactive Viewer Webi Reports - JSP

We are trying to build a Report Dashboard which shows the reports similar to how you see in the InfoView. We have achieved most of the functionality. We have an issue where we want to open the Interactive Viewer for any Webi Reports so that the users can modify the reports... Essentially when we open these Webi Reports in InfoView, we are seeing the option to Edit, but we do not see the same option in our App... Does anybody know a way to launch the Webi Reports in the Interactive Viewer?Thanks, Rajiv 

Rajiv,Â 2 questions for you:
[1] Is this a security issue?Â The user account logging into your report viewer application - is this the same user account that you logged into InfoView with?Â The Settings for WEBI in the CMC may be different for these users - hence you see different report viewer options.
[2] Are you using openDocument.jsp in your report viewer application?

Hide author properties from a WebI report?

Hello,
I need to u201CHideu201D the report Author from the properties in a Webi report.
Can I do it with WebI Extension Points (Java or DHTML) or with REBEAN?
Thanks,
Paul

Hello,
There no fine-grained control over the "Document Properties" frame specific to visibility of the "Created by:" field displayed, either in the Java Report Panel or DHTML Interactive Editor Extension Points.
You can try editing the Interactive Editor JSP file that controls that panel - it's relatively straightforward - but that would take your deployment out of support.
One way for definiteness would be - instead - to modify the "createdby" Web Intelligence document property to something else, using ReportEngine Java SDK:
documentInstance = reportEngine.openDocument(id);
properties = documentInstance.getProperties();
properties.setProperty(PropertiesType.AUTHOR, "pookie");
documentInstance.setProperties(properties);
documentInstance.save();
Of course, this isn't what you want if you want to keep the "Created by:" field, but merely prevent it from being displayed in the viewers.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Query level filter not working in Webi report

Hi All,
I am using BOXI R3.1 (SP3), m facing one problem when refreshing Webi report on daily basis. I am using three query level filter as a prompt, but i checked one filter is not working then i need to reapply this filter and rest 2 filter is working fine.
Can anyone suggest me why problem is coming?
Regards,

Hi,
Prompts are interactive, and come from the query panel. Filters are not interactive, and are set on the report or block. There are also input controls, which are interactive filters
1. Select the universe in the list of universes to open the Query Panel.
2. Drag the Year object to the Result Objects pane.
3. Drag the Number of Guests object to the Query Filters pane and create a report filter that restricts Number of Guests to greater than n.
4. Click Combined Query.
The Combined Query pane appears in the bottom left of the Query panel with the two queries joined by UNION.
5. Click on the second query and remove the Year and Number of Guests objects.
6. Drag the Reservation Year object to the Result Objects pane.
7. Drag the Future Guests object to the Query Filters pane and create a report filter that restricts the future guests to greater than n.
8. Click Run Query.

Schedule a webi report to email issue

Hi,
A webi report was scheduled to run and send exel file to email one time. The instance is in a status of "Running" for more than 24 hours. When checked the instance details, it said "waiting for scheduling to complete. Job ID: 15,786, name:[Report Name], kind:Webi in Pending state (FBE 60509) [0 recipients processed.]". After a day passed, the schedule failed. And in the Publication Admin Log, it said
2011-10-17 16:55:22,173 INFO [pool-4-thread-4] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_15786 - [Publication ID # 15786] - Running publication instance.
2011-10-17 16:55:22,251 INFO [pool-4-thread-4] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_15786 - [Publication ID # 15786] - The global delivery rule for this publication was met; publication processing will now begin.
I don't know why it failed. Is there any option needed to be set such as timeout?
All destinations have been set and enabled. Have restarted and reenabled could not help. A webi report run interactively fine.
We are on version:
BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1 SP4
Windows Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2008 R2
Thank you.

Hi Ginelle,
Most likely this problem would be caused by:
1. Wrongly configured email destinations on the Destination Job Server, Webi Job Server and Publication Job Server - you can check in the CMC - Servers area.
2. The source report - check it can be refreshed ok, it could be there are objects which Business Objects does not like. Test by removing fields and rescheduling to see if you can identify which field is causing problems.
3. Also try resaving the source report under a different name and rebuild the publication with this report. Some older reports can become "corrupt", resaving\refreshing can help.
4. Check to see if the source report has any recurrences set, it could be there is an issue with the Job Server waiting fopr a recurrence to run.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Webi Reports Hyperlinks on top of OLAP Universe

Hi Webi Gurus,
my BoBJ version 3.1 sp3
BW-OLAP universe.
I checked below Link for the solution, but couldn't
get answer, as these are based on relational universes.
/people/erika.atencio2/blog/2011/04/14/creating-hyperlinks-between-webi-reports-in-infoview
I have a OLAP universe. On top of it, there are two reports
One parent report and one child report.
Question: I have a column called Auction Id on parent report.
Now, when I click on any of the Auction Id values, child report
should only bring data for that Auction Id alone and not other Auction Ids.
In the child report, I have Auction Id as query filter.
Now while in Webi's Interactive Mode, I chose the option
Select Column--> Create Hyperlink --> Link to a document -->
Document prompts: Prompt User in runtime.
This option works fine.
However, when I change the Document Prompt to:
Select Object (or) Build Formula
report throws MDX error, during run-time,
Please suggest.
MDX error:
========================================================================
The query failed to execute with the error Value for the Characteristic.....WIS 10901
==================================================================================
Regards,
AK

Still getting error...I tried this
>> 1. In the detail webi report, create a query filter for AuctionID and use Equal operator. Give the prompt text as ActionID.
AK: Done
>> 3. In the column properties, in the display section select display cell content as HTML.
AK: Done
When I provide the URL and Parse it throws following error.
"Invalid identifier a at position 15. (WIS 10022) "
I gave following URL and parsed it.
="<a href="http://sapbojdev:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
iDocID=18774&lsSAuction ID="URLEncode([Auction ID])"&sRefresh=Y
Q: Is there any problem with syntax?
Q: Secondly, for OLAP universe based webi report , can't we use the hyperlink option:
Link to Document
Thanks,
AK

Web report - Variable values while switching between views.

Hi Gurus,
We have a query which has a few variables that are getting populated with default values during query execution[customer exits].
We have added this query to the web.Now there is a date variable which gets populated with the current date value by default.Suppose the users don't vant to run the report for the current date, they are able to change the date in the variable window and execute. But once the report is run, and we try to choose a different vieew for the report, the report automatically gets refreshed with the selected view, but for the default current date value (because of the customer exit).Shouldn't the selected view be getting refreshed with the date values that the user had entered while executing the report?
Also when navigating between the different views, shouldn't a variable window pop up? Is there any setting to have the variable window pop up when navigating between the different views of a web report?
Would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks a Lot
Arvind

hello,
we need to go to Query properties -> interaction tab-> remove reuse variables to populate the variable screen everytime or "Save and reuse variable values" to supress variable window
or
Problem could be due to any personalisation.try this:
One the query is executed, click on the button which says change variable values.
In the variable pop-up screen which comes up click on the personalization button
In the new screen which comes up click on reset personalization button
Enter new variable values and execute the query.

Types of web reports

Hi gurus,
What are the types of web reports we have? Where do you specify them, Is it some sort of property setting?
i'll asign points.

Hi,
   Web application design, with the BEx Web Application Designer as its main tool, allows you to use generic OLAP navigation for your BI data in Web applications as well as in business intelligence cockpits for simple or highly individual scenarios. Web application design comprises a broad spectrum of Web-based business intelligence scenarios, which you can adjust to meet your individual needs using standard Web technologies.
Features
The following figure shows how the Web Application Designer is integrated into the function landscape and tool landscape of the Business Explorer:
You can use this BEx Web Application Designer, the desktop application used to create Web applications, to generate HTML pages that contain BI-specific contents such as tables, charts or maps. These objects, which retrieve BI data from a data provider and place it in a Web application as HTML, are known as Web items. For more information about the Web items available, see Web Items. Web Applications are based on Web Templates that you create and edit in the Web Application Designer. You can save the Web templates and access them from the Web Browser or the portal. Once they have been executed in the Web, Web templates are known as Web Applications.
Business Explorer Web application design allows you to create highly individual scenarios with user-defined interface elements by using standard markup languages and the Web design API. You can adjust and enhance the Web templates (the HTML pages that determine the structure of Web applications) on an individual basis. For more information on this, see Web Design API.
The BEx Web Application Designer is a desktop application for creating Web applications with BI-specific content. Using the BEx Web Application Designer, you can create an HTML page containing BI-specific content such as various tables, charts, or maps. This HTML page (Web application) is the basis not only for Web applications with complex interaction, but also for Web cockpits and iViews.
The command wizard and pattern wizard are integral parts of the Web Application Designer. Using the command wizard, you can easily generate commands from the Web Design API and include them in your Web template. Using the pattern wizard, you can configure BI patterns to a certain extent and tailor them to meet your needs.
The initial view of the BEx Web Application Designer has four different screen areas in addition to the menu and toolbars.
      Web Items Screen Area
      Web Template Screen Area
      Properties Screen Area
      Error and Warnings Screen Area
Applications with the BEx Web Application Designer. For more information about creating Web applications, see Creating Web Applications.
You can adjust the appearance of the Web Application Designer to meet your requirements. The object on which you are working, namely the Web template, is handled differently from the tools and help windows with which you are working.
      You can show and hide the individual screen areas and toolbars using the View menu option.
      You can reposition the three toolbars and the Web Items and Properties windows as required. Depending on where you reposition the object, it is either anchored or appears freely as a toolbox.
      Since the Web Application Designer is a Multiple Document Interface Application (MDI Application), you can open and manage different windows with Web templates simultaneously. You can use the Window menu option to arrange the windows differently: cascading (overlapping), vertical, or horizontal.
Using the BEx Web Application Designer, you can create a BEx Web application (an HTML page with BI-specific content) easily.
       1.      Creating a Web template
The Web template is the starting point for creating a Web application. The Web template is an XHTML document that is used to define the structure of a Web application. It contains placeholders for Web items, data providers, and commands. A Web template becomes a Web application when the data is displayed in the Web browser.
During the design process, you change the Web template by embedding placeholders for Web items and data providers. You can keep track of these changes in the XHTML view.
To create a new Web template, choose Web Template ® New in the Web Application Designer menu bar. You can also create Web templates from the Select Web Template window. Choose Create New Web Template.
       2.      Setting the data binding/selection of the data provider
The data for your Web items is provided by data providers that you create in the Web Application Designer. You can assign a data provider to multiple Web items. The data provider concept makes it possible to change the data source of a Web item easily. If a particular data provider is assigned to more than one Web item, any changes made affect all the assigned Web items. By means of navigation (by changing the drilldown), the Web item always displays the current drilldown data.
A data provider is a dynamic object that returns current data for one or more Web items at runtime. You define the start view of the data provider by selecting a query or a query view. For more information about data providers, see Data Providers in BI Applications.
There are several ways to create data providers:
          a.      In the Data Provider section in the Web Items screen area
           i.       Select whether you want to create a data provider of type Filter or type Query View, and drag the corresponding line into the lower data provider section of the Web template screen area. The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears.
           ii.       Assign a name to the data provider and make the remaining settings required.
In the dropdown box beneath the name field, you can also select or change the data provider type.
           b.      Using the New Data Provider symbol in the lower data provider section of the Web Template screen area
           i.       Double-click to choose New Data Provider. The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears.
           ii.       Proceed as described under a. ii.
            c.      Using the General tab page in the Properties screen area
You can only use this option if you have already inserted a Web item into your Web template.
             i.       In the header of the properties screen area, select the Web item for which you want to create a data provider.
             ii.       On the General tab page, choose New Data Provider. The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears.
The data provider is assigned to the selected Web item. You can also create more than one data provider, as described under c. The data providers are listed in the dropdown box under Assigning Data Providers. This enables you to assign a different data provider to the selected Web item.
The Maintain Data Provider dialog box appears under data provider: . You can modify or change the settings for the data provider here.
When you have created a data provider, it is assigned to the inserted Web item. Assigning depends on the order of the data providers in the inner structure of the Web template. See also 4.a.
       3.      Adding a Web item
The Web items in the Web Items screen area serve as templates. By dragging a Web item into your Web template, you create an actual version of the Web item; this is called an object. The Web item has a name and certain other default parameters that you can change as required (see also 4.).
You see the changes in the XHTML view. A Web item tag for the Web item and a data provider tag for the data provider (assuming you have created a data provider) were integrated into the XHTML as placeholders. Change the name of the Web item and assign a data provider to it. In the XHTML view, you can see that your settings have been written to the Web item tag. The layout you choose is also applied in the XHTML.
                            a.      Drag a Web item from one of the Web item groupings Standard, Extended, or Miscellaneous in the Web Items screen area to the Web template by using drag and drop. The Web item appears in the Web template.
Underneath the selection area for Web items and data provider maintenance, you see the help area, which provides explanations for the Web items and data providers. To display the texts for a Web item, select the Web item by double-clicking with the secondary mouse button. To hide the texts, proceed in the same way. When you hide the display of texts and select a Web item by single-clicking it, a quick info is displayed for the Web item.
                          b.      If you want to rename the inserted Web item, proceed as follows:
In the Properties screen area, choose Rename Web Item to the right of the dropdown box in which the inserted Web items are listed. Name the Web item by overwriting the default text under Name in the Properties screen area next to the dropdown box in which the inserted Web items are listed.
       4.      Specifying the properties of the Web item
                            a.      In the Properties screen area, choose the General tab page to make or change the assignment of a data provider for the corresponding Web item. See also 2.
                            b.      Choose the Web Item Parameters tab page to set the parameters for the selected Web item.
You can also set the parameters for the Chart Web item using the Edit Chart dialog box. Choose Edit in the context menu of the Chart Web item or Edit Chart in the Internal Display parameter grouping of the Chart Web item. For more information, see Editing Charts.
       5.      Adding additional Web items
To insert additional Web items, repeat steps 3 and 4.
     When you insert additional Web items using Insert ® Web Item, pay attention to where you position the cursor in your Web template. The cursor position determines where the new Web item is inserted. See also Designing the Layout of Web Templates. When you insert Web items using drag and drop, the position of the cursor is irrelevant.
      Make sure that you set the data binding and any Web item-specific parameter settings for the correct Web item. To make settings for a Web item, select the Web item in the layout view. In the header of the Properties window, the system displays the Web item for which you can change the settings. As an alternative to selecting the individual Web items, you can use the dropdown box to toggle between the attributes of individual Web items.
       6.      Designing a Web template layout
In the Web Application Designer, you create your Web template in the same way you do in various XHTML editors. See also Designing the Layout of Web Templates.
       7.      Changing the Web template properties
                            a.      To change the default properties of the Web template, select the Web template from the dropdown box in the Properties screen area.
                            b.      Choose the Web Template Parameters tab page, where you can change the parameter settings for the Web template.
For more information, see Web Template Properties.
       8.      Saving and executing the Web template
You execute the Web template in the Web browser (portal). The Web template becomes a Web application, which means the template is saved on the Application Server for ABAP and a URL is generated for this Web application.
At runtime (triggered by calling the URL), the BI tags are replaced by corresponding HTML with the information determined by the Web item and data provider settings. When this is done, the Web template on the Application Server for ABAP is accessed. Therefore, you must save your Web template before you execute it.
                            a.      To save your Web template, in the menu bar of the Web Application Designer, choose Web Template ® Save.
                            b.      Choose Web Template ® Execute to view your Web application in the browser (portal).
You must save the Web template before executing it in the Web browser. Therefore, when you execute the template, you are asked to save it if you have not already done so.
      To assign a Web template to a role, choose Web Template ® Publish ® In Role. See also Role Maintenance.
      To copy the URL of a Web template to the clipboard, choose Web Template ® Publish ® Copy URL to Clipboard. The Web template, however, must already be saved.
      To broadcast a Web template, choose Web Template ® Publish ® BEx Broadcaster. For more information, see Precalculating and Broadcasting Queries, Query Views, Web Templates and Reports.
Result
Your Web application is started and displayed in the portal, which in turn runs in a Web browser.
If you want to print your Web application, choose Print in the context menu for the executed Web application.

Interactive web query forms - can BO do this?

Hi,
we want is for an interactive web form that allows a call centre staff to run queries. See below for a mock up.
[http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfr8cvrq_94f67wn4ft]
We're talking up to 50 users concurrent querying a dB with approx. 50ML msg's per day with 30 day's worth of data in the repository. From my experience with BO I haven't been able to see how such an interactive web form that queries the database can be realised. For example each of the Report Criteria would equate to a Prompt in BO.
In a previous life I was involved with developing such a tool but this was done through the use of macromedia dreamweaver and coldfusion. It's a pity since BO looks after the user management so well. Does BO have any bolt-on app's that could do the job?
The main functions this tool will allow are;
- SORT all Columns
- Master/Detail view click on record and see the detail - Drill cxan be used here once I create the correct hierarchies.
- Pop-up Calendars (small applets)
Is BO up for the task do you think. Do you know of anyone else I could pass this question onto?
Cheers, Ed

Thanks for the reply Praveen SG,
I used to use Business Objects way back in the day. So far on this job I'm going I've merely been using Designer to create the universe and then WEBI to create the reports.
I'm running BOXI 3.1 on a Red Hat Linux Ent 5.0 machine.
The User Mgmt is ideal within BO for what we're trying to achieve.
None of the other BO Tools Crystal Reports, Deski, Query As a Web Service would be able to provide the functionality I'm after.
It seems these SDK add-on's all seem to have a Crystal reports focus.
I'll start rummaging about in the Tutorials (I know it's cheeky of me but you couldn't suggest some of the more applicable ones for me).
Also other than Bob are there any other places on the Web where I'd be able to pick some experts brains on this.
Thanks, Ed

Web Reporting on Mac

How different is SAP BW BEx Web Reporting on Apple Macintosh (Safari, Firefox)?
Thanks

dear Rekha,
may behave differently, check following oss,
recommended is
Business Explorer Browser in the Web
Java script is used to display the tree. The required Web Browsers are Netscape >= 4.6 and Microsoft IE >= 5.0.
For BW 3.5 and higher, the compatible web browser version is IE>= 5.5.
hope this helps.

Solution
Web Applications
You can use different functions, depending on the type of browser. A browser identification is carried out on both the server and the client. For this reason, it is important that proxys or firewalls do not make any major changes to the user agent ID in the request.
           Requirements for an unlimited range of functions
                     The full range of functions with context menus, snippet operations and the interactive navigation bar with maps can only be accessed using current browsers that support the DOM level 2 (with dynamic generation of DOM objects), ECMA-262 script, HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0. The reference browsers here are the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) and the Netscape Navigator (NS) in the current Windows implementations (MSIE 6.x and NS 6.x). Instances of these browsers on other systems such as Apple Macintosh or Linux may behave differently.
           Minimum requirements
                     Web Applications can be used with browsers that meet HTML 3.2 standards and support basic CSS 1.0 functions.
           Browser variants and range of functions
                     Full context menu range of functions, flicker-free navigation and ad-hoc BEx Query Designer: IE 6.x, 5.x, NS 6.x
                    Context menu, but no dynamic loading of hierarchy branches with the Web item "Hierarchical context menu": IE 4.x, NS 4.x

Java script is used to display the tree. The required Web Browsers are Netscape >= 4.6 and Microsoft IE >= 5.0.
For BW 3.5 and higher, the compatible web browser version is IE>= 5.5.

Jump to interactive webi viewer using OpenDocument?

We have a number of webi reports linked through the the enterprise portal using the opendocument command. These reports also have additional opendocument links to jump to detailed reports. All of this is working fine but we would like to be able to jump to the interactive mode of the webi report rather than the default HTML viewer. Is there any way to do this?
The default web intelligence view format is set to Interactive in CMC. I have also found a document indicating this can be done using sviewer=interactive but unfortunately it does not work. I have found other documents indicating that the sviewer parameter is only applicable to CR. The sOutputFormat does not appear to have an option for interactive.
We are on BOXI3.1 FixPack 1.3.
Thanks,
Kelly

We are still using BO XI r2, but the sViewer parameter has been working for us. We open a majority of our documents in the interactive viewer, building the URL from a custom Java EE app. We have deployed the InfoView EAR to a Java EE application server. Here is the format of the URL that we are using:
http://<server>/<context-root>/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=<webI doc name>&sViewer=Interactive&sPath=[<document folder name>]&sOutputFormat=H

Get client ip in web reports 9i

Hi
we are using oracle 9i reports.
we want to get client's ip address when running web reports.
We are having forms which gets the ip address using
webutil but the same functionality is not available
in web reports.
How can this we get the client's ip address
when using web reports?

Hi,
From WebUtil documentation:
WebUtil is primarily focused at solving the more common challenges faced by Forms developers whowish to build applications which integrate tightly with the "Client Browser" machine - the machine that the end user is actually sitting at.
Traditionally Forms has provided the means of integration with the machine that the Forms executable is running on, but in the Web-deployed scenario this can be remote from end users and may even be a different operating system from the systems that are being used to host the applicationâs user interface. WebUtil gives Forms developers the means to interact with the client browser machines with PL/SQL, without having to learn any new technology.
As far as I know, Oracle Reports has never provided this functionality. In fact, there hasn't been much stress on interacting with the client machine. And thus there is no direct functionality in 9i as well, to get client machine information.
If you are running your reports from Forms, you can get the client's IP address in the Form and populate it in a temporary table in the DB, from where Reports can then pick it up.
