Launching a Bex web report in KM in a new window

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to configure KM so that it would launch a Bex web report in a new window
instead of being displayed in the innerpage area. The Bex web report is stored in a KM folder.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi Mel,
If you have already assigned the Bex report to a role, then you can open the bex iview and edit the property "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
If the report is still not created and is existing in the KM you can create a KM navigation iview or KM document iview and specify the document path where the iview is exisiting OR you can open the bex report, capture the URL of it and create a URL iview for the same... you might want to refer to this thread for more details.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/thread?threadID=1260067&tstart=0
And when the iview is ready and the content is getting displayed accordingly, if you want to open the iview in a new window instead of the portal content area, you would have to follow the instructions given above ie to edit the property of iview "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
Good Luck!

Web report Goto Opens in a new window

I have 2 web reports that are linked using the Goto command on the web context menu.
This functionality works fine, except I find that the target report opens in a new browser window.
Does anyone know how to force the target report to open in the same window as the calling report?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards
rich

Thanks Bhanu, that was exactly what I was looking for - had just overlooked the setting - apologies for the simple question!
For anyone who digs this up through a search, you actually need to put "_self" to have it open in the same window. If you use "_SELF" as is suggested in the Web Application Designer, it doesn't work...
Thanks again Bhanu

Sort variable values in selection box in BEx web report.

Hello friends,
In my BEx web report I have cal/month selection. When I do dropdown to select values it starts with 01/1960 and I have to click 10 times to get to 01/2006, 02/2006 and so forth.
Is there a way to sort these values so I can get most current cal/month in first list?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
BJ

I would consider changing the read mode for the dropdown box. Are all of those dates actually relevant? Check out the properties of the dropdown box in WAD.
Thanks,

BEx web report selection screen entries retain when closing and opening the report again

Hello all,
please help me in the below query.
Till last month the entries we made in BEx web report selection screen are retained in the selection screen even when we close the web report and open it again from portal without logging off. But recently this functionality is missing and the entries in selection screen are not remembered when we close and open the same report again. It is a good feature for the users. Have you come across this issue?

No...I think i can reframe the question very clearly......For ex: we are opening a Bex Web report...so initally we would be prompted by the variable selection screen...in which we have to give the entries(Values) for those variables like Cal month, Sales org, Company code, etc.....Later on the report will get open based on the values we have given......
Now if we close the particular report without logging off then if i try to open the same report that selected values are missing.....earlier it used to remember the values we have given until we log off....But now that functionality is missing....It was very useful feature.....Can you please tel me what can be done to resolve this??
I hope the explanation would be clear now.

BEx Web report returns 500 Internal Server Error

Hi all,
a user says that he can't run a BEx Web report (query BEx embedded in a WAD web template) because it returns the generic error "500 Internal Server Error". In the screenshot below some more informations about this issue:
Some other informations:
- says he can run others BEx Web report (which use the same WAD template on different queries)
- says he can run the query via RSRT (so I guess there are no authorization problems)
- says he can run this specific report with another user on his PC
- says he can't run this specific report with his user on another PC
- I copied his user and I can run this specific report.
- browser used: internet explorer 8
Any suggestions?

BEx Web Reports: Print only Results area??

Hi gurus,
I know that it is quite messy printing BEx Web reports with 3.5. ....
Is there the possibility to print only the results area of a BEx Web report, e.g. without the menus (e.g. Rows, Columns, Free Characteristics)??
Thanks a lot for your answers,

Launch Interactive Viewer Webi Reports - JSP

<p>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?</p><p>Thanks,</p><p> </p><p>Rajiv </p>

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?

Requirements for SAP BEx Web reporting

Hi
Can anybody tell me the complete list of requirements like SAP portal, etc that need to be set up in order to enable Web reporting for BEx reports.
Thanks in advance.

Insert comment or documentation into bex /web report

Hi gurus, Can anyone guide me how to allow users to insert comments or maybe documents into BEx report and Web report.
Your help highly appreciated and will assign point accordingly
Thank you

Hi Andrey,
yes, you're right - there is a standard-functionallity.
But at least for the BEx Analyzer (and for the Web-Analyzer as well, which is the reason why the SAP published an How-To document "Building a Fast and Flexible Comment Solution for Bex Web Applications") this function has some disadvantages which raises the very common request to enter comment into Excel-Cells directly.
But you're right - this "advanced commenting" feature was not really the point of this thread.

Fetch table value in BEX Web report using Javascripts, and assign condition

Hi Gurus,
I am currently using WAD 3.5. I need to change the web report to behave like below :-
1. Default layout (Field A B C) with condition A & B activated.
2. If the drilldown Field B and C is removed, leaving only field B alone in the report drilldown, deactivate condition A & B, Activate condition C & D.
3. the above can be reversed where user drilldown field B & C into the layout, the condition A & B need to then be activated back.
So I believe this can be done using Javascript. So my questions are below
1.) How do i fetch table value for the navigationblock ? with navigationblock i am able to know what are the columns are in the drilldown (i will not display free characteristics, so ignore this part). how do i read the content of NAVIGATIONBLOCK_1 as shown in following code? using javascript.
<P><object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="NAVIGATIONBLOCK_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_NAV_BLOCK"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="SHOW_FREE_CHARACTERISTICS" value=""/>
         <param name="SHOW_NAVIGATION_ICONS" value=""/>
         <param name="SHOW_FILTER_ICONS" value=""/>
         ITEM:            NAVIGATIONBLOCK_1
</object></P>
2.) After question 1.) is done, please advice how do i activate/deactivate the conditions? based on the fields found in above. Maybe I can use IF navigationblock_1 contain field A only, then set condition A & B , etc.
<p><object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="CONDITIONLIST_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_CONDITION"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         ITEM:            CONDITIONLIST_1
</object>
I would appreciate if we can solve Question 1 first before proceed to 2.)
Please advise. Thanks

Hi JTi,
what i have understood from your requirement is that you want to access the web item table_1 in javascript, you can get that as below:
Add
<span>
tag before your web item and set its id to table.
<span id = "table">
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
<param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
<param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
<param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
<param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
<param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
<param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
<param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
ITEM: TABLE_1
</span>
In javascript access it as :
var mytable = document.getElementsById("table");
Hope this helps
Thanks

Won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window', Can't open menu button

Ok, since update to version 31.0, I have been having some problems.
I have tried doing everything stated in the support page about resetting, reinstalling, safe mode, restarting pc etc.
First problem, when I open Firefox no web page loads. It just says New Tab and a blank white page. If I press the home button I am taken to my homepage which is google.
Second problem, when I right click on a link and the menu pops up, if I click open in new window, a new window opens but it just says New Tab with a blank page and no URL information, just blank.
Third problem, the Open Menu button just doesn't work at all. You can click all you like, that thing is not opening.
I am really stuck as to what to do. I have only been using Firefox for about a month and t was good until these problems. If I can't resolve it, I will have to use another browser as it is really annoying.
I am using Windows 8.1 by the way and have scanned my computer thouroughly for both virus's and malware.

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

I actually have 2 problems.
1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

Display combined results of 2 queries in 1 BEx Web Report.

Dear Experts
I tried to achieve this in just 1 BEx Query and found it difficult.
Then I ended up creating 2 BEx Queries getting partial result and then amalgamating both in WAD. Still I think there should be a way to achieve what I need from just 1 BEx Query. Below is what I am trying to achieve:
Query 1:
Overall Result is the Total Number of Invoices restricted by 2 values.
Credit Invoices is the Total Number of Invoices restricted by 1 value.
% of Credits over Total Invoices = Credit Invoices / Overall Result
Query 2:
I have created a Condition on 'Reason Codes' to pick on the Top N (3 in this case) to display the values in %.
All the CHARs and KEYFs are in the Rows Column only for both the Queries at the moment. When I am trying to amalgamate both into 1 BEx Query, the Query is throwing up errors and Execution is falling over. Another issue here is, there are 3 Reason Codes in the Third Place when I checked in ListCube and don't know what needs to be done. I am planning to discuss this with the Business Users if this should be extended to Top 5 instead of Top 3. Any ideas..!
Users want to see the final report only in Web Analyzer as they do currently (so BEx Analyzer & Workbook are out of question). But I will be using Web Templates eventually to bring together 8 (it will be 9 if this report can't be done in 1 BEx Query) BEx Reports.
How can I achieve this in just 1 BEx Query?
Thanks for your time in advance.
Kind regards,
Chandu

Hi Suman
Thanks for your reply. When I am having both the parts of Query 1 & Query 2, the BEx Report is falling over when executed pointing to Condition.
The second Query will pick the Top 3 Reason Codes for a particular Customer and then the individual Document Count for these 3 Reason Codes is divided by the Overall Result (Document Count) to give the individual Result across each row as %.
Hope this is clear now. I tried Cell Definitions but didn't find it useful in this scenario, or I might be missing something. Can you please explain me in detail of how this can be done in 1 BEx Query using Cell Def?
Please let me know if this can be achieved in Single BEx Query.
Thanks,
Chandu
