Long Texts in BI: displaying in Web report using WAD

Hi, Gurus!
Assumtion is that:
*) user uses EP portal to access BI reports;
*) these reports are pre-formatted, preferably-static, and with print option (maybe via xls or pdf format);
*) Win Gui is NOT an option to use in EP;
Here is the Question:
Is there any ready-made recipe how to get BI reports containing Long Texts on web (most possibly by using WAD - Web Application Designer)?
There are two great blogs by Eugene Khusainov:
*) <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3766">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3766</a>
*) <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3768">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3768</a>
These ones deal with this question in Bex WorkBook.
I'm looking for similar solution as in above mentioned blogs, but only for the web (EP). Thus would like to get your opinion before reinventing the wheel.
Thanks a lot in advance for all ideas!
--- Kaspars
P.S. Have gone through several SAP docs, but had not find an exact solution...
P.S.S. in case you have some ready-made-docs, please use the following e-mail: [email protected]

Hi, Prakash!
Thank you for the suggestions! The document you mentioned is a very good as such. However in my case it doesn't seem to be a solution.
Could you please elaborate on your comment regarding "rendering with XSL" ...?
Thanks,
--- Kaspars
NOTE to clarify 'static': I am not looking for a precalculated report/document. It should be like a normal query. But from a users point-of-view it is just a report he/she can ONLY print out. That's it; no drill-downs, no filtering, no nothing.
Wouldn't there be these long texts (texts in several columns, that should be displayed as one column) + header & footer formatting;... Then I could use regular EP iView template (and pure query made in BEx Query Designer as data source within it).
NOTE 2: user just have to click on a hyperlink in EP to access this report. No parameters should be submitted by user.

G/L Account Long Text Field in Display

Dear Sir,
I want G/L Account long text field be displayed along with G/L account number in G/L Account line item display report (FBL3N)
I cheched the layout, the option of G/L account number is available but option of G/L account Long text is not available.
Kindly guide me as to how can I do it?
Regards
Chirag Shah

You must do some development for it.
You can add additional field to FBL*N reports with using BTE exit.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, you must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product: ZFI
Text: BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active: tick checks from activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure
Define 4 fields.
Component: KUNNR - Component type: KUNNR
Component: NAMED - Component type: NAME1
Component: LIFNR - Component type: LINFR
Component: NAMEK - Component type: NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (Next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process: 00001650
Function Module: ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product: ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
ABAP source example,
TABLES : bseg, kna1, lfa1.
IF sy-tcode = 'FBL3N'.
CLEAR: bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'K'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    CLEAR: lfa1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM lfa1
    WHERE lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-namek = lfa1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'D'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    CLEAR: kna1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM kna1
    WHERE kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-named = kna1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

Hi Jim Ji
The report can be displayed from the java infoview, no doubt, so the report itself works.
But the report cannot be seen from the "SAP Infoview" (:/businessobjects/enterprise115/sap) which is the infoview, I reference from the Folder iView (through the system in the SAP portal). And since the SAP Portal Integration Kit seems very old - the Folder iView was created 12-08-2004 by Ingo Hilgefort - there might be an old version of the jar-files somewhere in the installation.
I guess I should check the version of the jar-files in WEB-INF/lib of our web application (Tomcat) folder, and see if they have been overwritten by the SAP Portal Integration Installation or are an older version of the files in Program FilesBusiness Objectscommon3.5javalib? And also check if somewhere in the .../sap installation there are some old jar-files?
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

Error in displaying a webi report

We are getting an error RWI 00317 when trying to display a webi report within a .net application.
When searched in the net, RWI 00317 occurs due to the reason that xalan.jar is missing... But that is for a java application. What is the similar solution for .net applications.
Any help/info on this would be much helpful.
Thanks.

Urgent: Issue while displaying the PDF Reports Using XDO Common region

Hi all,
In our product code we are trying to display the PDF Reports, using the xdo common region.
Previously we were writing the pdf reports direclty onto the response direclty.
This displays the report onto the browser but if navigate throw browser back button, it doesn't displays the report as the response stream is empty while navigating through back button.
So to solve this issue, i tried to write the report using the OAHTMLWebBean and xdo common region. Here is the code:
ByteArrayOutputStream xdoOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XDOUtility.retrieveReport(xdoOutput,
parameters,
prop,
appMod
BlobDomain bxdoOutput = new BlobDomain();
bxdoOutput.setBytes(xdoOutput.toByteArray());
String redirectURL = DocumentHelper.getOutputURL(pageContext,
bxdoOutput,
"Report",
"PDF");
OAHTMLWebBean outRegion = (OAHTMLWebBean)createWebBean (pageContext, OAWebBeanConstants.HTML_WEB_BEAN, null, "IFRAME");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("src", redirectURL);
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("width", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("height", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("title","Report");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("name","Report");
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(outRegion);
This successfully displays the report in the XDO Common region. But now the issue is that there are hyperlinks in the Report displayed where from where the user can navigate to other detail pages.
When we click on these links, a new session starts in the xdo common region.
Is it possible that when the user click the links in the report displayed, instead of starting a new session in the xdo region, the detail pages is displayed with in the older session.
Regards
Sandeep

WebI Report using BW Query

Hi,
I am using WebI Report using BW Query. I don't see some Formulas in Universe which is there in BEx Query.
Did anybody face the same problem before?

Hi,
I meant that you should post in the forum the calculation contained in the formula that you cannot see in your universe.
But let's start from the begining since you are new to SAP: Did you generated the universe yourself? If the formula was added in the query after the universe was created then you must refresh your universe (In the Universe designer please select the option "Refresh structure" under the "view" menu) in order to get the newly created formula (I assume we are takling about a calculate figure here) in your universe also.

Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

Dear Experts,
I'm new to OLAP universes.
We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
We require a calmonth (time dimension) object (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table. User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
Thanks
Akshara

Hi Henry,
Thank you for your response.
BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
Regarding reporting requirements, User wants to have adhoc reporting with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
Thanks
Akshara.

Create a Webi report using QAAWS as a data source

Hi Experts,
I am on BO 4.1 SP 3, and using the Webi Rich Client to create a WEBi report using a QAAWS url as a data soruce.
This is the first time I am trying this, so any tips/helpful links are welcome.
I get the below error, when I try to map the fields. But I do not have any personal data files involved.
Thanks,
Vasu Natari.

Hi Vasu,
We can create webi report with QAAWS.When creating the report on webservices /Personal data providers we'll not get prompt/query filters option .
Are you trying to change source ? Instead create new source and get data.

Change the colour of a cell text depending on the value Web Reports (NW04s)

Hi all,
does anyone know how to change the color of the text of a cell depending on its value on Web Reports? For example red text for values smaller than zero and blue for values bigger than zero?
I know you can create exceptions, but that changes the background color of the cell and not the text color
I have tried modifying the theme but the property "negative text" doesn't related to cell values.
Thanks

Graph not displayed when web report 9i is run

When I run my web report (.rdf file) all the report data shows apart from the graph - which is displayed as a red cross. Have I configured reports wrong so the graphs aren't getting the correct URL?
Many Thanks
Claire

Hi Claire,
I assume that you are running an RDF on the web, and setting desformat=html or htmlcss. Can you try with desformat=pdf and see if you get the same problem?
Also, for diagnosing the problem, in your html / htmlcss output where you see a red cross, can you view source and see what filename it searches for the graph. The graph is an image, so the code will be like
<img src=....../>
Check whether this file is available in your Oracle_Home\reports\cache directory?

Images are displaying in web report

Hi.
I am having a webreport,when i try to open that web report in my gateway it is nit displaying images.
I am able to 'x' mark in the place of image and unable to do drill down,
Please advice me on the sane.
Thanks,
Guna

Hi Gunasekhar,
You might have just added URL in "Choose Screen" window.
If you add URL here means you should be connected to Internet everytime you execute your Web template or if you have given a path in your system where the image is present, the image should be present in the similar path in other system too to make the Web template execute and to display the image through webb template.
If you want to display the image everytime you execute your template, you need to upload the image in MIME repository... Tcode : SE80.
To import a number of MIME objects into the MIME Repository using the MIME Repository Browser:
       1.      Start the browser of the MIME Repository. (SE80)
The browser is displayed. It overwrites the navigation area (left-hand side).
       2.      Expand the Repositorys hierarchy and select the "BEx" folder.
       3.      Choose Import --> MIME-Objects from the context menu.
       4.      Select a MIME object from the file structure on your local hard disk of your computer.
       5.      Enter the MIME attributes and choose Save.
Since the object is imported into the SAP System, the dialog box Create Object Directory Entry is displayed.
       6.      Assign a package to the MIME object and choose Save.
Now give the path of the MIME repository in the Menu --> Insert --> Picture... --> Choose Screen --> URL...
Give below path in the URL space provided there.
/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/Icons/XXX.jpg
This uses the image present in BW so you will not get "X" mark whenever you execute your report anywhere.

KK.
