Latest Gartner report on SAP BW

Has anyone read the latest Gartner report on SAP BW positioning?
SAP Takes an Infrastructural Approach to Business Intelligence
under http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?ref=g_search&id=480923
Would like to see if it's thumbs up or down...some recent Gartner reports on Netweaver were quite positive.

Ok, I read it and was quite positive, actully blaming customers for not implementing the solution properly but taking shortcuts.
I wonder why SAP is not advertising that research but I have a strange feeling that SAP doesn't want to pay hefty licensing fees.

  • Performance issue of BI Reports in SAP Enterprise portal -in SAPNW2004s

    Dear friends,
    We are integrating BI Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 ( SAP NW- 2004s).The reports are running properly .But the issue here is reports are taking long time to open and leading it to performance effect.
    Reports in BEX( Bi side) working lilttle better than EP platform.
    And Even BI team is looking for ways to improve the performance.
    Could you please share your ideas to implement in portal side to increase the performance.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ratnakar Reddy

    Hello Mr. Reddy,
    There are two possibilities for slow performance in BW reports, so we need to look into wether its slow in the BW system or at the frontend.
    If the problem resides in the BW system then we should be able to trace the reports
    and you can go for a SAP EW or GV sessin and SAP will provide recommendations.
    If the problem resides at the frontend
    Update the frontend servers to the latest frontend release.
    Recommended Frontend Release 700
    Recommended Frontend Patch      18
    Update the frontend servers to the lates SAP GUI release as soon as possible.
    Minimum Recommended SAP GUI Release 6.40
    Your frontend PCs should fulfill the following requirements:
    Each frontend PC should have 500 MHz and 128 MB main memory.
    Because of a limit in the addressable memory, Windows 95 is not supported as Frontend OS for 3.X BW Systems. Please refer to SAP Notes 161993, 321973 and 366626 for details.
    Please also check SAP Note 147519 "Maintenance strategy/ deadlines 'SAPGUI'".
    If you still require any assistance from SAP support then raise a message under component ( probably BW-BEX-ET-WEB).
    Provide your input, if you have any.
    Thank you,

  • Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

    Hi All,
    Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format.  I'm currently running the following report in SAP  and would like the
    ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
    subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
    much data manipulation.  Can you please assist me.  Below, I've tried to
    provide an example of what I'm encountering.   Thanks, beforehand for
    your assistance.
    Here goes:
    Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
    Inventory
    Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter  the
    desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
    the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
    I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
    at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
    This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
    immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
    selection noted in the tool bar below.  The result is a data friendly
    excel 2007  report is automatically generated.
    Export to Excel via list:
    Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
    That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
    the report immediately.  Now let go back and run the exact same report
    with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
    from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID.  Given the report generated in
    the background,  I would now access the report via the spool and make
    the following selections:
    SP01 + execute to see my report
    I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
    extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
    I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
    the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
    spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
    different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
    with.  I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer.  The currency
    format and other issues arrise with this extract.  Please help. 
    Thanks,
    Chowadary.

    Update to Latest GUI.
    Use   List -> Export -> Spreadsheet  to get the output to excel.
    I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
    Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

                        I am facing a problem while importing a Crystal Report in SAP Business One, it displaying an error  "No matching records found  'Queries' (OUQR) (ODBC -2028)  [Message 131-183]" , and there is no use of this table OUQR  in the Query.
    Kindly let  me know the solution.
    Regards
    Rahul Singh

    Hi Rhaul,
    i don't exactly know why this is a problem, but if your not on latest (881 p10) then upgrade and try again.
    Or as a workaround,
    try saveing from CR to SAP with the CR add-on. That usualy works better then the import.

  • Potcode table report in SAP ECC 6.0

    Hi,
    we just upgrade our R3 systeem to SAP ECC 6.0 and with this new SAP ECC we can not find the old report for our postcode table check. In previous system, we use the following report to update our postcode table :
    - RSADRLSM01
    - RSADRLSM02
    - RSADRNL_POSTCODE
    With SAP ECC 6.0 the latest report (RSADRNL_POSTCODE) in not available and because of that we can not update our postcode table.
    Anyone experience the same problem?
    Best regards,
    Audrey N. Tamara

    hi,
    I checked this on the systems available to me and the mentioned report RSADRNL_POSTCODE is not available in any release 4.63 and higher, i.e. it isn't available in ECC 600 either.
    the NL part suggests to me that this is part of a (Netherlands) country specific extension of any industry solution or it is simply a custom report in SAP's namespace.
    So, check if your system's country specific add-ons are in place already or open a customer message to SAP with respect to your country version.
    regards,

  • Performance issue of BI reports in SAP Enterprise portal

    Dear Friends,
    We have  integrated BI reports with SAP Enterprise portal 7.0.Reports are running properly But the issue is reports are taking more time to dispsaly its content and leading it to  performance effect.
    In Bex ( BI side) reports  performance is little better than  SAP EP platform. BI Team also looking for ways to improve performance  at BI side.
    Could you please share your valuable ideas to improve  the performance at SAP EP side also ..
    Thanks and Regards
    Ratnakar Reddy

    Hi ratnakar,
    The first step is to identify which component is causing the performance problem. Run your report in the portal but try appending the string &PROFILING=X in the end of the URL. This will generate BI statistics which you can use to see which component (Java stack, ABAP stack, Database) is causing the performance issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

    Hi,
    I wanna ask about How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1 ?
    I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
    Pls help me to find the solution.
    Br,
    Thomas Marsetyo

    Hi,
    In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
    If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.
