Leaf Node access in a BW OLAP Universe - BEX Query

How we can gain access in an universe to just the lowest leaf node in an bex query with hierarchies.  If an infoobject has a  hierarchy that is ragged, I just want to display that lowest level with a value.
Is there an MDX work around
An example is cost center or account which may be many levels. 
The goal is to create a universe such that in webi or explorer, the user has to deal with one field for cost center or account and not 7 levels for each which make it very hard for the end user.
In this case the hierarchy is not important.

Hi,
I assume that you want to say XML traces rather than SQL traces.
We provide SQL for relational databases and SAP BW Infocubes/DSO through Data Federator.
The MDX generated contains only the characteristics and key figures selected in the Query Panel.
However, there were an issue where all key figures were taken into account by SAP BW server even if not all have been selected.
This issue has been fixed in a fix pack (I don't remember which one).

  • Cascading LOV in BEx Query OLAP Universe + BEx variable

    Hi gurus,
    we have an universe where a Cascading LOV has been defined based on a BO Hierarchy ( based on a BW hierarchy), the OLAP universe is based on a BEx query.
    Now, when the users create a WebI report selecting a value from the value list, the Cascading LOV appears and the user selects the value, descending by the nodes.
    We are analyzing the universe performance and we are testing to add some time BEx variables in the query ( in the current version no variables are used).
    Everything works properly but when we try to select a value from the Cascading LOV and try to select a lower level the webI returns a mdx error indicanting that the time variable is not informed. (WIS 10901: A database error ocurred; MDX query can not be executed: specify a value for the variable Z... )
    We thought that the mdx for the LOV get values from the MD table because in the infoobject definition, it has the Business Explorer Settings:
       Query Def. Filter Value Selection = Value in Master Data Table
       Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn  = Value in Master Data Table
    The Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn  can be defined at the infoprovider also (with the provider specific Properties of the infoobject) and also at the query, whe have not modify none of them.
    My first question is which settings has efect at OLAP Universes, the infoobject settings; the infocube settings or the query settings ?
    Are the Cascading LOV integrated with BEx Query OLAP Universe?
    Is it an application error?
    Many Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Ingo,
    many thanks for your quick answer.
    That was one of the possibilities we have analized but the problem is that the user has to inform the hierarchy level for all the reports, that kind of variables is translated in the universe as a prompt
    Now we have only one universe and some business analists users create reports themselves for the business area based on that universe.
    The users create WebI filters without prompts,just filtering the hierarchy node. If we add the BEx variable then the user sould inform the prompt for all the reports based on that universe.
    We want to avoid that prompt, we have several hierarchies in the query for different infoobjects.
    Thanks again.

  • Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

    Dear all,
    I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
    I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
    Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
    I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in  a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
    would rise exponentially). 
    In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
    Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax. 
    Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
    Any advise?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.
    M.

    Hi Ingo,
    1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
    I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
    If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
    2) Another question is:
    Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
    For example:
    Instead of this:
    <FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
        <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
            <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
        </CONDITION>
    </FILTER>
    Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.

  • Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

    Hi Gurus,
    I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
    Thanks,
    Shak.

    I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

  • SAP BW OLAP Universe performance issue

    Hi,
    Based on BO recommendation, I created a universe on top of a big BEX query which included all characteristics and key figures from a cube. I then created a webi report with 5 characteristics and 1 key figure from this universe. I also create the same report in BEX query designer(same number of objects). I ran both. The Bex query completed under a minute and the webi report took more than 12 minutes to run. I did a bunch of other test with different number of objects combination and saw similar differential in query performance.
    I did a trace using 'sm50' and saw the open SQL submitted to BW from BEx was very different from what got submitted from the webi report. Here is what I saw in pseudo code.
    Bex:
    select dimension1.blah, dimension2.blah, dimension3.blah, dimension..... sum(measure)
    from dimension1, dimension2, dimension3, dimension..... factTable
    where dimension1.SID = factTable.d1SID
    and dimension2.SID = factTable.d2SID
    and ......
    and (query filters)
    OLAP Universe
    select dimension1,blah, dimension1.SID
    from dimension1, factTable
    where dimension1.SID = factTable.d1SID
    select dimension2,blah, dimension2.SID
    from dimension2, factTable
    where dimension2.SID = factTable.d2SID
    select dimension3,blah, dimension3.SID
    from dimension3, factTable
    where dimension3.SID = factTable.d3SID
    It seems the OLAP universe was querying the BW cube one dimension at a time and then somehow piece the result sets together to form the final result set. Dimension tables join to the fact table without any filter definitely causes performance issue. Beside, I have no idea why the query requests are submitted to the BW system like that.
    I looked in varies forums and found no similar issues posted by others. Has anyone had any performance problem with there OLAP universe? Is this a matter of configurations?
    My envrionment:
    SAP BW 3.5
    BOXI 3.0
    ORACLE DB (version ??)

    Hi,
    You cannot compare a BEx query and a universe query by just comparing the trace.
    BEx query makes ABAP calls and universe query makes MDX calls;
    Moreover there is only one MDX call sent to SAP, what you have noticed is that there is one MDX call to retrieve member for a given characteristic whereas a prompt has been set on.
    Last, Web Intelligence consume only flattened data (row sets) wheras BEx consume data sets.
    That means that there is a flattening operation between SAP OLAP engine and the data sent to the Web Intelligence document.
    A fix have been developed for a customer to improve performance on Web Intelligence queries, this fix will be available for all customers in SP2 planned in June 09.
    Here is a a brief summary of what the fix provide:
      -  Provide data directly from SAP server to Web Intelligence document. Avoid unnecessary conversion steps: row set --> data set --> row set
      -  Eliminate redundant sort operations
      -  Other optimization operations

  • Universe Designer vs BEx query - Can't see the query in the OLAP Cubes list

    Hello Experts,
    We are facing a rather strange issue:
    While creating a connection to an existing BEx query - which wasn't being used by BO before - we aren't able to see that one query in a long list of available multiproviders/queries on the universe side.
    We already checked the option on BEx analyser to authorize external access to the query, with ODBO.
    The connection type we're using is the same for all the other universes built on top of BEx queries: SAP BW Client. Again, we already have a bunch of universes built using this method, but we can't seem to find the BEx query in the OLAP Cubes list.
    Does anyone have a lead on what may be causing this issue?
    Our environment is:
    - SAP BOE XI R3.1 SP2
    - SAP BW 3.5
    - BEx Analyser
    - Integration Kit
    Best Regards,
    Francisco

    Hi,
    i don't know, you'd have to search the BW-BEX component for notes.
    I noticed it with a revision of SAP GUI Front End tools 720 SP7 i think
    I applied the latest corrections (SP08 or 09) and that tickbox worked ok again.
    You might notice - as i did - that when you go back to check the bex query - that property becomes 'magically' unselected/

  • OLAP universes and Crystal Reports

    Hi everybody,
    as we know Crystal Reports can not use OLAP universes as data source. The details about that have been discussed several times in this forum, for example in the threads:
    Logon failed with Universe data source
    Logon failed when trying to connect to a SAP BW related universe
    The possible data sources are perfectly explained in the Blog from Ingo Hilgefort.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog
    But... why these connection type is not possible???
    From my point of view these missing functionality comes with a lot of drawbacks. The universe has a lot of advantages, and first of all it is isolating the business users form technical complexities. But if the business users can not access to the OLAP universe they have to face to technical complexities.
    Another point: Consider a perfect integrated SAP BW environment with Business Objects Enterprise and Crystal and Xcelsius. The administrator can now define a perfect universe structure, tailored on the particular business needs of the end users. This universe structure can be used for Web Intelligence and Xcelsius (QaaWS). But for the Crystal Reports I have to define another interface to the BW data sources, which can not be done by the Administrator.
    So, some open questions:
    - Why is the connect to OLAP universes not possible - does that make sense?
    - Will the connectivity be available in future - is that part of the actual roadmap?
    - What is the recommanded approach for a business case as shown above, meaning how can I isolate my business users from technical complexities by using SAP BW as data source for Crystal Report.
    Thank you for any comments and advises,
    Sebastian

    Hello to everybody.
    When I was starting to work on the BO products I had exactly the same question.
    Why were the OLAP Universes not supported in Crystal Reports?
    Well, I have a few facts in my mind, I explained the decision of SAP in this case with for myself.
    1. Very simple and my first thought: monetary aspects. There excist the SAP Integration Kit. These drivers work pretty fine. So for what reason SAP should invest money in an other technique to access the SAP data?
    2. It excist a server solution for small and medium-sized companies named Crystal Reports Server. I'm not sure but I don't think this package contains the Universe Designer. If acces on SAP data over the OLAP Universes would be possible, the Crystal Reports Server customers should also get the Designer tool and the Translation tool, too. Less profit margin.
    3. Creating a Universe out of OLAP data destroys the moredimensionality. Universes are flat constructs. So maybe it makes no sense to use this meta layer.
    4. A typical Crystal Report user isn't someone who had no technical understanding. For me these users should know and understand the data source very well. So an Universe would limit there the possibilities for building a report.
    5. I think the SAP itself did not know where the journey should go with this toolset. A roudmap that changes severalt times in one year an many many rumours about these tools proof this.
    So I think maybe we just have to wait a few months and the support for the OLAP Universes will come with a fix pack.   Who knows...

  • Leaf nodes in Flex cluster

    Hi,
      can somebody explain what leaf nodes in flex cluster are?from documentation I see that they are nodes which dont have access to storage and they communicate with hub nodes.
      Can they have oracle db instances?If so how is data transfered between hub and leaf nodes?Through interconnect?Doesn't it overload the interconnect?
    Thanks

    H depicts the hub nodes and L depict the leaf nodes.Assume each Hub node has 3 leaf nodes attached to them.
    Suppose L1 connected to H1 needs a block and modifies it and after sometime L1 connected to H2 needs the same block then it must follow the same 2 way/3 way grant as in normal cache fusion right?
    Does this actually increase the number of hops since the leaf nodes are not directly connected?
    Do we have any control over the leaf node to hub node mapping or is it all automatically managed?
    Thanks
    The blocks are going to be accessed, modified at the Hub nodes only AFAIK as the Hub nodes are considered as DB Nodes. The Leaf Nodes are going to be considered as the Application Nodes. That's the reason, it's better to set up the instances running on the Hub Nodes only rather than the Leaf Nodes. Even if the instance runs on a Leaf Node, the communication is between the Hub and Leaf node only and it won't do any harm as both the nodes-Hub and Leaf(and the other nodes in the Leaf group) would be talking to each other directly. There is no VIP required on the Leaf Nodes so the connections by the database users would be only on the Hub Nodes, I guess and that means, the block movement would remain essentially the same.
    The number of network hops are reduced as you won't be having a requirement to have too many Hub Nodes since each Hub node can connect to  64(?) Leaf Nodes. So essentially, in your case, you would need only 4 Interconnects (2 on one Hub Node and 1 each on the remaining two) for the private interconnect and just 3 network links for the storage for each Hub node.
    I am not sure that I understood the last question of yours.

    L0, L1 (L1 is the parent of L0)
    The product dimension table has a record with values only for L0 and NULL values for other Levels..
    (ie) We have a requirement to create a value in L0 which will have no parents.. The rest of the values in L0 will have parents.
    Would like to know if this is possible in AW. This was possible in Express Server
    regards

    HI
    yes we have run into a big problem. We have created leaf nodes w/o parent in aw and created relational views of those. The measure views thus created has data for these dimension values but when accessed thru BI Beans (ie in the cross-tab if we have this measure) the data is not getting displayed for these dimension values (Which do not have parent)

    question 2. : which component I need to down load from SAP website
    regards

    Hey as u told that you will access the sap system through Ctirix. it means you have such a set up .
    1. you are a client and you have a connectivity through BO server directly.
    2. and as a client only you have access to sap bi system through citrix.
    If yes then try it , i have doubt if you able to connect it .
    b coz you need to have direct connectivity to sap bi system also.

  • OLAP Universe and Voyager connection on BW Queries

But when i get connected to the SAP BW system, I get a dispaly of just the Cubes and I am not able to see any Queries. We have created multiple queries in BW pointing the Cubes. But none of them are listed down.
    Please let me know if this is an issue with the rights given to user which we use for logging into SAP system or some other reason.
    Any suggestions and answers will be really helpful.

    Hi Suma,
    Please check if you have released the BW query for OLE DB for OLAP. Goto properties of the Query and on the Advanced tab see if the check box for "Allow External Access to this Query" is checked or not. If it is not checked then please check that box for the query to appear in your Universe Designer.

  • Hierarchy Leaf node does not display in F4 functionality

    Hello,
    Scenario:
    - profit center based hierarchy
    - user has access to only leaf nodes in that hierarchy.
    - authorisation works perfectly and displays only the correct values
    Problem:
    When we run the query in the portal and use the F4 functionality to select the profit center value nothing is displayed.
    This is ok for the particular case where one profit center needs to be accessed by the user since it is automatically filled out, but if that user has access to more than one profit centers this is a problem.
    System:
    BI7 BCS
    Support Package Stack 10 ABAP+Java
    SAP_BW is on SP11
    Please note that the profit center field is also not greyed out.  We raised an oss about this and SAP responded with "this is working as intended".  Thus the use is able to type the values into the profit center hierarchy box.

    Check whether you are filtering any level of the hierarchy when running this query? or you are using a hierarchy variable and defaulting it to certain level which doesnot show what you are looking at.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Leaf nodes and Blevel in an index

    Hi,
    Can someone please clarify my doubt
    1. If there are many leaf nodes does it mean the index has undergone a lot of updates.
    2.if the blevel is greater than 4 ,does it mean the index has undergone a lot of updates and it requires rebuilding
    Please help

    Hi Steve,
    Before we start WWIII, let's make it clear that I DO NOT advocate rebuilding unless it is necessary. I charge by the hour; and I will not waste my client's money doing something that is not necessary.
    Also, note that Index rebuilding has been automated within OEM, it's right here in Oracle Magazine:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/05-may/o35tuning.html
    Remember, there are TWO reasons for index rebuilding:
    - Saving Space -
    - Improving the performance of multi-block reads (index range scans, index FFS)
    what control do we,as mere mortals in the presence of the great and mysterious Oz-acle, have over the depth?- Rebuild the index, coalesce, shrink space, that's it. At the data block level, Oracle does not re-balance the index in real-time, it would be too time-consuming.
    what control do we have over what Oracle decides to use for depth? Well, the index blocksize makes a big difference in the number of levels, and that's one reason that some shops implement a 32k blocksize, just for indexes that experience multi-block reads:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_multiple_blocksizes_summary.htm
    Steve, some people make sweeping over-generalizations (it's RARE or UNCOMMON), but that's all doo-doo. Rebuilding depends SOLELY on the volatility of your index.
    Don't trust anyone who makes statements like "It's never needed", or "you rarely rebuild indexes". Like evrything in Oracle, "it depends".
    For example, in high DML systems like Clintrial, you have to rebuild Oracle index nightly to maintain any decent performance! Other applications NEVER need index rebuilding . . . .
    It depends . . . . .
    When I charge my clients to rebuild indexes, I don't guess. I measure, test and show them proof that the rebuild reduced I/O.
    You want to see too-many-levels in an index simply insert a zillion rows in one part of the index, then delete 20% of the index in another sequence, and repeat 100 times . . . . .
    Kim Floss said it well:
    http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid41_gci1050448,00.html
    There are many myths and legends surrounding the use of Oracle indexes, especially the ongoing debate about rebuilding of indexes for improving performance. Some experts claim that periodic rebuilding of Oracle b-tree indexes greatly improves space usage and access speed, while other experts maintain that Oracle indexes should "rarely" be rebuilt. Interestingly, Oracle reports that the new Oracle10g Automatic Maintenance Tasks (AMT) will automatically detect indexes that are in need of re-building. Here are the pros and cons of the issue:
    Arguments for Index Rebuilding. Many Oracle shops schedule periodic index rebuilding, and report measurable speed improvements after they rebuild their Oracle b-tree indexes.
    Arguments against Index Rebuilding. Some Oracle in-house experts maintain that Oracle indexes are super-efficient at space re-use and access speed and that a b-tree index rarely needs rebuilding. They claim that a reduction in Logical I/O should be measurable, and if there were any benefit to index rebuilding, someone would have come up with "provable" rules.
    She goes on to note some index rebuilding criteria:
    "The short answer is no, there is no 100% complete, definitive list. But, here are some things to start with:
    - Index levels > 3
    - Pct_used < 75%
    - More than 20% of the rows have been deleted (space is not automatically reused)
    - Index is becoming unclustered, and performance is degrading (causing increases in number of blocks to be read) – while unloading, resorting, and reloading the data in a table may provide better performance, this is an additional maintenance activity that needs to be performed, and can be difficult to keep the rows in their proper sequence, if the table gets a lot of insert/update/delete activity. "

  • af:tree leaf nodes

    Is there a way to display leaf nodes in an <af:tree> differently, so that they don't look like they can be expanded?
    I'm using an <af:tree> component with an ADF tree binding. There's just one source collection, with a self-join (that is, the single accessor rule returns different elements from that collection).
    The problem is that every node in the tree is expandable, including the leaf nodes (that is, the ones with no children). When the user expands them, nothing happens except a change in the icon (as you might expect), but I'd rather not provide the icon at all, or provide a different icon, to discourage expansion.
    I actually have an attribute in my collection that can act as a discriminator--I happen to know that all and only rows with TypeIndicator="W" will have children. But my attempts to use the "polymorphic rule" functionality in the tree binding editor don't seem to work--it simply doesn't show any children of the top-level nodes at all.
    Help would be much appreciated.

    Mmm...sorta. Here's what I've done so far.
    I've created a class, let's call it CustomTreeModel, that extends the (abstract) class TreeModel. I've given it a private field:
    private final TreeModel mTree;and a constructor:
    public CustomTreeModel(TreeModel tree) {
        mTree = tree;
    }Then, I've overridden every method but one in TreeModel to delegate to mTree. For example:
    public void setRowIndex(int i) {
        mTree.setRowIndex(i);
    }The one exception is the method isContainer, which I've implemented this way:
    public boolean isContainer() {
        return (mTree.isContainer() && (! mTree.isContainerEmpty()));
    }The idea here is that the class wraps a tree, except that it claims that empty containers aren't containers at all (so they should be treated as leaves).
    Then, rather than bind my <af:tree> to #{bindings.MyTreeBinding.treeModel}, I bound it to #{myBackingBean.treeModelWrapper}, and created a backing bean with bean name myBackingBean. Here's what I did in the backing bean:
    1) Added a managed property, bindings, of type BindingContainer and value #{bindings}, and added a BindingContainer field, bindings, to the backing bean class.
    2) In the bean class, added a TreeModel field, treeModelWrapper.
    3) Changed the getter for treeModelWrapper so it looked like this (this is inexact, I don't have access to my code right now).
    public TreeModel getTreeModelWrapper() {
        Map myTreeBinding = (Map) getBindings().getControlBinding("MyTreeBinding");
        TreeModel oldTreeModel = (TreeModel) myTreeBinding.get("treeModel");
        return new CustomTreeModel(oldTreeModel);
    }That worked, inasmuch as the general structure of the tree looked about right, and leaf nodes showed up as leaf nodes.
    There are two problems with it. A little one and a big one.
    Little: It degrades performance significantly. Not surprising, since I assume isContainerEmpty() is a more resource-intensive method than isContainer(), and we're calling it a lot more often now. There's probably no way around this.
    Big: The data seems...a bit messed up. Most of it looks right, but I'm getting weird occasional spurious child nodes (meaning that occasionally a copy of a node is showing up in a container where it doesn't belong). Since the tree is based on a self-referential relationship, that occasionally leads to infinite loops (node A and node B show up inside one another, so you can just keep expanding downwards for ever). I can't for the life of me figure out why this is.

  • 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
    ==================================================================================

    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
