Live Web Reports

Is there any site where I can see the quality of the reports generated with Oracle Reports, and to check how well they print and if the report's data can be exported to excel or other application.
Thanks, Otto Quintero. [email protected]

Hi, Paddy
I'm afraid we can not follow that approach.
Our validations through excel VBA need aggregated data calculated in the same excel sheet. For example, we have top amounts that can not be exceeded depending on data that is not still in DDBB.
If we could write in ABAP that validations, that code would be so tough and complicated, that would have a huge negative impact in performance.
Anyway, Thanks for your help.

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

Live office database errors in Citrix - underlying WebI reports work fine

Hi,
We have a live office report with 30 tabs in the excel file i.e. 30 webi report parts in it. It accesses 20 webi reports, each built on a BEX query.
Please see below the error which users get while running the report in Citrix environment. The underlying WebI report has no database errors, and we were able to run the Live Office reports at the same time on LAN. The Citirx users get these database/auth errors intermittently, on different tabs of the report at different times - the underlying BO reports are error free and users have proper rights to execute them.
"An error occured while opening the report. The report does not exist; youhave insufficient rights to open the report; or you cannot make a connection to the BusinessObjects Web Service. (LO 02010)
Failed to get the document information (LO 26315)
A database error occured. The database error text is: ...."
Please help.

Hi,
BO Version is BO XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.1
Datasource - BEX queries BW Relese 701, support pack level 8
We have made users login to Infoview and checked that they are able to execute the WebI reports. Also, earlier they were able to run all reports, so there is no access problem.
These errors started occuring when we had to refersh BO Universes after some of the BEX queries changed. We even asked users to stop using the excel files on which they used to get errors, thinking the files may be corrupt. Then we sent them new files which we had successfully refershed at our end. But still they get these errors in their environment.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Soumya

Live Office does not retain the Custom Sorting applied in a Webi report

Hi,
We have a Webi report in which we applied "Custom Sorting" to sort the Business Names in the required order. However, when we import that to excel using live office, excel doesnt retain the same format and there are not much options that are available within xcelsius to do the sorting. I have gone through various posts here but none resolved this specific issue.
Here is our environment:
Xcelsius 4.5
Live Office Frame work 11.5.5.525
BOXI R2 SP1 and MHF1
I tried using different options under "Report View formatting" within live office options but none seem to have made any difference. Unfortunately we can't make any changes to the universe in this case. I checked for few paid addon's but they seem to be for Xcelsius 2008. We have a release next week and would appreciate if any of you can guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks
Pavan

hi pavan
i can just tell you that i had no issues with custom column sorting in webi with Enterprise XI 3.0 and Xcelsius 2008.

Unable to refresh webi report in live office

I have a webi report and using live office, i want to create a dashboard,
i can able to refresh this webi report in infoview but can't in live office, giving an error not sufficient rights. what are the rights to be modified to refresh this report in live office? using the same user id, why a webi report can be refreshed in infoview and not in live office?
can anybody help me.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hi Krishna.
Take a look at SAP Note 1461825 - Error "You do not have sufficient rights to refresh data from the specified report (LO 26314)
Resolution
   0. Login to the Central Management Console (CMC).
   0. Goto Folders and expand All Folders -> Goto the User Security of the Folder where the document is stored.
   0. Select the User Group that needs permissions for refreshing the document -> Assign Security -> Advanced Tab -> Click on Add/Remove Rights
   0. Expand Content
   0. Select Crystal Report -> Grant Refresh the report's data.
Strangely enough you need a authorization component from Crystal side when you operate outside WebI

Janne

Hello,

Any one has faced some issue like that? In my DEV environment I did the same upgrade and got no errors and this only happen in WebI reports.
Best Regards,
Ruy.
SAP has return my message and said that a solution for this problem will be available in FP 4.1.

Hi Jawahar,
thanks for guiding me to this KB, I did the suggested modification i.e:
Add the following to the command line for the DSLBridgeServer (adaptive processing server)
"-Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory=C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0//dataAccess/connectionServer".
I'm now testing by refreshing the webi reports. Lets see if I see the "csEX" error again.

Live Office and Webi reports images..

Can any one please tell me to this is possible or not in the word or ppt via live office?
any workaround to get webi reports images in the live office.

Did you check OnDemand option in Object/Application properties??
Which will show on the fly, all Prompts defined @ WebI report/query level.

Populating webi reports with images downloaded live from external sites

I'm writing applications to create different visualizations of my data, and would like the resulting images to show up in webi reports. Specifically, the application that draws the visualization will be deployed to the same java application server as webi. Users will open a normal webi report which will contain something like an HTML <img href="#myhref" /> tag, where #myhref will be a link to a page in my web application that draws a visualization.; Is such a thing possible, and if so, how? Many thanks, in advance.

Nevermind... I think I got it. I created a SQL query that would return the URL I wanted (something like SELECT 'http://server/context?param1=' || field1 || '&param2=' || field2 FROM table", and then modified the resulting cell to be read as an Image URL.

Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

Hi
We are having Backend as SAP BW.
Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi, we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes to open.
This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
So can you suggest any solution?

Hi Gaurav,
We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
(so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
this will result in that object being added to the result set.
Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
(less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
Good luck!

Disabling Cache for a webi report

Hello,
We have BO 4.1 SP1 system. We have a webi report based on bw- bex. That bex is connected to a table in R3 that momentarily updates itself. So, we are supposed have a report connected to live data. (bex query cache is already disabled on bw)
The problem is, by the data changes, the webi report fails to catch the new data in time. The bex query it is connected, almost momentarily updates itself, however, webi does not. The goal is to make the webi report's result data to match the bex query result as the table in R3 updates.
To achieve that, we created a server group in CMC, named it "no-cache" and put some cloned servers with supposed no cache holding properties. (The screenshot of the servers are attached.) We scheduled the webi report in every 5 minutes, allowing only the no cache servers to be used. However, it is still reported that the webi report does not match the bex from time to time.
Am I missing some server cache configuration? Or is a real-time data webi report not possible?
Thank you

Also, the third screen shot for the server properties is as below.
Thank you again.

Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST when using Dimensions in Prompt

Hi,
I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] } ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002] failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }
ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] } ) ON ROWS
FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
Then it worked Fine!!! If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
regads,
Nisha.

Hi Ingo,
I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
Also,
I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!! We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
Please let me know your inputs.
regards,
Nisha.

Scheduled webi report error in dashboard

Hi ,
we are using SAP BW as backend and Dashboard is created using Live ofive connectivity with latest instance of scheduled report which is scheduled every morning.
But some of the reports scheduled is failing and throwing this error as
A database error occured. The database error text is: (CS) "Fail to create an instance of Job" . (WIS 10901)
This is occurring many times
Because of this while opening dashboard it throws error
The current refresh option requires a report instance that does not exist. (LO 26301)

Gaurav Mang

Hi Gaurav,
How many Webi reports do you have? Do they all use the same data source? How big are the reports - 100 rows? 100,000 rows? How long does each take to run?
They may be failing if the server is running out of memory. Or is it the same Webi reports failing to schedule? In which case obviously there's a problem with those reports.

Error LO02010 and LO26315 trying to open Webi report with LO in Xcelcsius

Hi,
I am trying to open a BO Webi Report through Xcelsius LiveOffice. Unfortunately I am getting the error messages LO 02010 and LO / LO 26315 / RWI 00226).
It says the report doesn't exist or you have no rights to open the report or you can't connect to BusinessObjects Web Services (LO 02010). The document can't be retrieved (LO 26315). The Report Engine Server couldn't be initialized (RWI 00226).
Has anyone had the same problem? or does anyone have a possible solution? Thanks.

Hi Markus,
Would you try whether you can open the Webi report in InfoView with the same user? Then try it in Live Office?
