Multiple dynamic analysis grids on same workbook tab

Hi,
I am trying to have 2 dynamic analysis grids in the same tab of a workbook. I can insert and run them but the top grid (query) runs into the bottom one. I know you can set the size parameters of the grid but that would only work for me if they had row structures.
Also, I need to be able to print these so turning the clipping or scrolling on won't work either.
Any ideas would be great otherwise I will have to split them up on to separate tabs.
We are on BI 7.0
Thanks,
Matt

I have searched the forums with no solution found.
I want to have 2 reports on the same sheet so that the end user can look at both without having to tab back and forth. The problem I have is both queries are dynamic in there length since they have no row structures. I am hoping to find a way that BEx would automatically adjust the location of the 2nd report below the 1st one.

Hi,
For Apply Formatting :
Deselect this checkbox to switch off the display of formatting, including icons and background color. Displaying formatting during navigation can be time consuming. You may therefore want to switch if off for performance reasons. An example is if you are navigating to achieve a result that you want to export to a text-based file.Scroll bars and scrolling icons are not affected by this setting.
SAP Notes:
Customizing Default Workbooks
You can format a workbook using all the Microsoft Excel functions. The following options are available, for example:
●      Add a background graphic to the worksheet
●      Add additional worksheets with design items or charts
●      Embed a VBA macro that allows you to easily access the BEx Analyzer object model to enhance your workbook with BEx-specific custom VBA code
●      Format cells outside of design items with text, borders, and colors
●      Add a logo to a particular cell (outside the range of a design item)
You can also format a workbook using the BEx Analyzer design functions:
●      Add or remove design items that you want to display by default
●      Change the locations of design items
●      Apply a BEx theme (see Workbook Settings)
Cells belonging to design items themselves use a standard formatting. Using Microsoft Excel functions, you can manually format these cells in analysis mode. For example, you can select a row of results in the analysis grid and set the text to bold. However, when you refresh the query, the standard formatting for the query cells is restored and the settings for these cells are lost.
You can permanently format design item cells in two ways:
●        Using BEx themes, you can select different formatting themes, including formatting for design items. See Workbook Settings
●        With certain types of queries, you can work in formula mode, which gives you complete freedom to format the cells as required. See Working in Formula Mode.
For example, your current default workbook consists of a background graphic and the Navigation Pane and Analysis Grid design items. You work with different queries in which exceptions were defined. You want to be able to display exceptions easily when you open queries in the BEx Analyzer. You want to display a background graphic that contains an exception alert symbol. You proceed as follows:
●        Create a new blank workbook using Microsoft Excel function New.
●        In analysis mode in the BEx Analyzer, choose Format ® Sheet ® Background in the Microsoft Excel menu, and select a different background graphic.
●        Use the BEx Analyzer design toolbar to insert a List of Exceptions design item. If you were not already connected to a system, you are prompted to connect now.
●        Insert an Analysis Grid design item to display the query results.
●        Choose Save ® Save Workbook As in the analysis toolbar, and save the workbook to the server.
●        Close the workbook.
●        Choose Open ® Open Workbook and open the workbook from the server. This is a prerequisite to be able to define workbooks as default workbooks.
●        In the analysis toolbar, choose Global Settings, and in the Current Default Workbook section, choose Use Current. Your customized workbook is now the default workbook.
●        Choose Open ® Open Query and select a query.
Your query now opens in the workbook you have defined as the default. The Exception design item is already embedded in your workbook and your custom background graphic is displayed
Themes
BEx themes, based on NetWeaver Portal styles, are shared services across the Business Explorer suite. In the BEx Analyzer, they are delivered as a set of Microsoft Excel style definitions for your workbook. Themes provide formatting information such as background color, font, and font size. To display the set of style definitions for a workbook, choose Format ® Style from the Microsoft Excel menu. The styles provided by the Business Explorer are prefixed with SAPBEX*.
Themes are content objects that are stored on the server and that you can choose to activate. Themes are stylesheets in which you can make important changes to a theme. All workbooks in which the theme is used are updated accordingly.
The following settings are available on the Themes tab page:
Current Theme
The list of available BEx themes is displayed. The BEx theme that is currently applied to your workbook, if any, is selected.
New/Delete/Apply/Save
If the following special authorization is assigned to your user name, you can change and save themes on the server: AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_RS_TOOLS' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD 'THEMES'.
If you have this authorization, these buttons appear:
●      Create a new theme by choosing New.
●      Select a theme from the Current Theme list, and choose Delete to delete it. This deletes your theme locally.
●      Select a theme from the Current Theme list, and choose Apply to apply currently configured styles to it. When you do this, the BEx Analyzer reads the Microsoft Excel style definitions of all the styles in the workbook that are prefixed with SAPBEX* and stores them in the selected theme. This allows you to edit the styles in Microsoft Excel and then create a theme with these customized styles.
●      To save all the themes to the server, choose Save.
Reapply Theme Before Rendering
Since BEx themes are saved on the server, they can be changed on the back end. Select this indicator if you want to retrieve the most up-to-date definition of the style from the server and apply it again.
Apply New Styles
Select this indicator to update the current workbook with any style that has been added to the theme on the server since the theme was originally applied. If, for example, new styles have been added to a theme during a patch release, you can retrieve them from the server with this option.
Do Not Use a Theme
Select this indicator to stop using the selected theme in your workbook.

Workbook Analysis Grid & formatting/positioning

Hello xperts,
When designing/formatting a workbook with an analysis grid linked to a
dataprovider and the use of formulas, refreshing the workbook <b>resets</b>
all applied formatting and shows the default analysis layout (as if
changes to column/row positions are disregarded).
E.g. When inserting blank rows or centering text in a column, refreshing the query resets this formatting!
This is frontend functionality that <b>should</b> be supported in 2004s.
Anyone experienced this yet/knows a workaround/solution for this?
OSS message with prio high concerning this problem is pending as well, but it seems they're quite busy at SAP. I guess a SAP frontend patch is the only way to solve this.
Installed Frontend Patch is <b>10</b>
Please any good input is welcome!
best regards,
JvB

Hello,
I am using front end patch 9 and when I use to functionality 'Convert to Formula' this works fine.
In the analysis grid you would right-click in the body of the grid and select 'Convert to Formula'. Then when you refresh your workbook the format modifications should remain.
If you have not tried this already I think it should resolve your problem.

Multiple Schemas with same Workbooks

Hello
I have a problem with discoverer. I have 1 database instance with 1 discoverer instance. In the database are 15 comparable schemas (development, test, produktiv 1-13). For me it's not possible to let the same workbook (or make change of schema-owner) run on different schema_tables.
I have all time to new design the workbook for each schema.
In the SQL-Inspector i can see the statement that i connect every time to the same schema-table but i cound't change the schema.
Also the SQL*export and import doesn't function well because i lose the layout for the workbook.
One solution is to revoke the access from discoverer-administrator for the the table (who i have designer the workbook) and open the workbook. Then there are some screen to redefine all items within my workbook (there are more then 30). But to do this for 10 Workbooks multiply with 15 schemas. this is a very hard work and is near that to design from new for each.
Martin

Hi,
Well, you could have one workbook that worked with all the schemas, by creating a view that was a union all of the underlying tables from the different schemas, then use a context in the view to select the schema that you want use in your report.
Assuming that you want to create a set of workbooks for each schema, then you can get Discoverer to change the mapping in the workbook to a new folder by changing the EUL timestamp located in the EUL5_VERSION table.
Basically, when a workbook is open I think it goes a workflow similar to this to determine the mapping to the EUL items:
1. If the EUL timestamp in the workbook is the same as in the EUL then it selects the items using the id held in the workbook.
2. If the EUL timestamp is different or the item is not found using the id, then it uses the developer key in the workbook to select the item.
3. If the item is still not found then it uses the item name and folder name in the workbook to retrieve the item from the EUL.
So, if you have a workbook wb1 using folder f1 which is mapped to a table in schema s1 then you can try this workflow to create workbook wb2 pointing to schema s2 by:
1. Create a f2 folder mapping to S2.
2. Change the developer key in f1 to be a new key DK2.
3. Connect as Desktop/Plus and open the workbook wb1 and save as wb2.
4. Change the developer key in f1 back to the original key and the developer key in f2 to the new key DK2.
5. Change the EUL timestamp.
6. Open the workbook wb2 and save, it should now be pointing at folder f2 and schema S2.
7. Open the workbook wb1 and save, it should still be pointing to S1.

How to insert two queries in the same workbook in new BI 7.0 Bex web analy

Hi
Can you please advise how to insert multiple queries in the same workbook in BI 7.0 web analyser.
Sarah

Hi,
You need to switch to design mode (BEx Analyser Menu - Design Toolbar - Design Mode). For each query that you want to embed, insert an analysis grid item in the workbook. Link each analysis grid to its corresponding data provider (query).
Hope this helps.

Max number of dataproviders in the same workbook

Hi,
Do you know please what is the max number of dataproviders (recommanded by SAP) we can use in the same workbook / Bex analyzer?
For information, we are in BI 7 based on excel 2003.
Thx.
Radj.
Edited by: Radjech Radjech on Dec 3, 2010 12:24 PM

One suggestion is:
Each tab (copy of the query) would have distinct filter value(s). In workbook settings, Uncheck "Allow Refresh of Individual Queries". Also in WB settings, Do Not Refresh at Opening. For the entire 50-tab workbook, the filter is limited to a minimum: company code and the date range because the other filters are hardcoded in each tab. When you refresh and change variable values at opening the file, all you enter is the company code value and the date
You might also want to change the Grid Properties: Uncheck Apply Formatting (for performance); and Uncheck Allow Navigation. You can add these back later. Might as well uncheck Sort.
I have my own question about the DPs. Can you rename them from the generic Data Provider 1 or copy of Data Provider 1?

Query View name not saved in "Analysis Grid Properties" under Data Provider

Hi BW World;)
We are on BI 7.0
I have created a BI workbook which contains a query view.
However when we go into design mode and then "analysis grid properties" for this query view then "change data provider" it does not show the query view name but the query name. (we have saved the workbook)
Is this the normal scenario?
Surely should show the "query view name " and not the "query name" as confuses what data provider is being used?
Is this a bug?
Best
Stevo.... Points of course... Thanks in advance.;)
Edited by: bw4eva999 on Sep 10, 2009 4:40 PM spelling

Hi,
You have created a workbook on top of a Query View which is again depends on a Query.Now the base for Query View is a Query.So the underlying Data Provider for a workbook is a Query.
Hence when you go to Properties of grid->Change Data Provider,it shows the Query and the InfoCube,but not the Query View.
So this is not a bug and this how its been designed.
If you click for the Information of that workbook,it will show the Query and Info Provider,but not the query View.
Though it looks like wierd,it is not a bug.

Is there a way to rename multiple Itunes songs at the same time

Is there a fast way to rename multiple Itunes songs at once, instead of renaming one song inside Itunes at a time? For example; So I can select multiple songs at once and rename each songs Genre all at the same time? Without needing to rename song by song?
Casey Computer

You can click on multiple songs, and change info in the Get Info > Info screen. This applies to most fields EXCEPT Name. iTunes has never allowed the simultaneous change of Name of multiple songs, presumably on the grounds that it is usually an error to do so.
Regarding Genre, yes, this can be changed for multiple songs at once, using the Info tab of Get Info.

App Controller 2012 R2, cannot open multiple console windows at the same time

Hi All
I have just moved from SCVMM 2012 SP1 and AppController 2012 SP1 to the 2012 R2 versions. In the previous version my users were able login to app controller, select the virtual machine that they wanted to connect to and click on the console button (or right
click and select console) and this would open in a new tab in IE, they could do this for multiple VM's and could have multiple tabs in IE so that they could switch between them easily.
However, since the upgrade, they can now open only one console tab. each time they click on a new VM and select console, it will open in the same IE tab. Meaning that switching between console sessions on multiple machines has become a lot harder.
I've checked all the obvious IE options, and multiple machines/users, so this seems to be a setting in Silverlight or in IIS somewhere that has changed. I've had a good search around (bing/google) but can't find anything. Has anyone got any suggestions
on how we can get back to the old multiple consoles in there own tab scenario?
Cheers
Darren

Hi Arne411,
Thank you for sharing the frustration you're experiencing due to this bug.
There are a few options:
If you have Premier support you can open a support case and make a Request for Hotfix (RFH). If an RFH is accepted then you may get the fix prior to its public release. This process also helps us to better understand the issue, number of people affected
and can increase the priority of producing a fix.
Provide users access to the VMM Administrator Console. As a member of the Application Administrator (Self-service user) role they will have the same capabilities for accessing VMM managed VMs that they do with App Controller.
Consider moving to the Windows Azure Pack as the web portal. This has the benefit of being HTML based and provides console access through the RDP client.
Kind Regards
Richard

The interaction between differents power view report (differents spreadsheet in the same workbook - based on the same datamodel)

Is it possible to connect different spreadsheet of powerview based on a same data model?
For eg, i have 2 powerview reports based on 2 differents spreadsheets in the same workbook.
If i filter a year (for eg YEAR = 2002) in the 1st report, i want the 2nd report automatically filter by my choice (<=> YEAR = 2002).
Thanks,

I don't think this is possible right now. But you will be able to add a view level filter which will filter all the visualizations at the same time if multiple visualizations are on the same sheet. Hope it helps.

REST Sender adapter - multiple dynamic parameters

Dear
We are currently configuring a sender REST adapter which be called as such:
http://host:port/RESTAdapter/pi/query/jira/solman/getsystems?sap-client=001&cust=00009999
(even encoding the question url or only question mark and ampersand doesn't help)
However whenever we try this, we can see following error returned by PI:
The sender adapter is configured properly according to the documentation on SAP Help:
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
We might think this is a bug, as the interface works fine when we use following pattern:
But only when we use the url as follows:
http://host:port/RESTAdapter/pi/query/jira/solman/getsystems%3Fsap-client=001&cust=00009999
We had to encode the question mark in the URL (%3F) in order for PI to pick the right channel with the correct parameters.
When using the normal question mark (e.g. used with the Chrome Advanced REST Client), we basically receive the same error as above:
Have any of you encountered this before, or have any of you used multiple parameters before in the sender REST adapter.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Nicolas,
Were you able to resolve this issue. We are also facing similar issue. We are try to specify multiple dynamic query parameter in PI RFC Sender adapter endpoint and getting similar errors. Please let me know if you have found any solution.
Thanks

Multiple Details Sections in the same report

I'm trying to take two different columns from a fact table, and display them in one column on the report. So I'll then have the charge quantities (grouped and summarized) listed above the charge amounts (grouped and summarized) across months (columns).
Is there any way to have multiple detail sections in the same report, something like below? I tried sub reporting, but you can't subreport a subreport. I also tried cross tabs, but they're not flexible enough in the groupings I'm looking for.
Report Header
Group Heading 1
Details
Group Footing 1
Group Heading 1
Details
Group Footing 1
Report Footer
Thanks!!

Hi,
Inorder to create new Group Header sections like Group Header a and Group Header b.There are two options
->In the design mode of the crystal reports,Rt.click on the Group Header section-Choose insert section below
OR
->From the Expert tool bar->select the Selection Expert,choose the Group Header->click insert button

Multiple presentation servers using the same RPD

Hi everyone,
So as most people know, the iPhone has a cool app that allows you to login and look at your OBIEE content. In theory it's really cool, but as it turns out, a lot of the cool graphs default to Flash and Flash is not supported by the iPhone.
Using a flag in the instance config file, its possible to default all graphs to png's instead of Flash. But that causes all the interactive drillability to go away since it's just a flat picture.
It seems that an elegant solution to this issue would be to have two presentation services running; one that defaults to Flash and one that defaults to png's. Then let the OC4J container determine if the device accessing the website is a mobile device or a full client browser. Mobile devices get routed to the png's and non-mobile devices go to the standard Flash page.
Although not supported by Oracle, it is possible to setup multiple presentation services on the same server. In fact, RNM has a great blog about how to accomplish this (http://rnm1978.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/multiple-rpds-on-one-server-part-1-the-bi-server/).
I was able to setup two presentation services (AnalyticsWeb and AnalyticsMobile) and point them at the same catalog folder. That way you don't have to duplicate you're work.
The one thing I couldn't figure out how to do was to point them at the same RPD file. Ideally, we would have one rpd file with the master metadata definitions, and both presentation services would drive from that single RPD. However, the BI Server throws and error of the same RPD appears twice in the NQSConfig.ini file. I also created a shortcut to the master RPD, but upon startup, the BI Servers said that it was not a valid repository file.
Worst case scenario, I could just use copy & paste to duplicate the single repository. And then each time I updated one, I would just need to delete the other and re-copy. But that seems a little tedious and I was hoping for a more elegant solution.
Does anyone know how I could get the NQSConfig.ini to let me point to the same RPD twice? Is there some kind of symbolic link or image I could create?
If it helps, I'm working with OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on a Windows Server 2003 environment with the OC4J standalone container.
Thanks for the help!
-Joe

Hey Everyone,
Just to add the finishing touch to this thread, the following can be implemented to perform the redirect based on mobile versus traditional PC devices.
In the folder: C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app
I created the following OBIEE.html file
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en,us">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test OBIEE Redirect Page<TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script type="text/javascript">
var agent = (navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase();
var weburl = './analytics/';
var moburl = './analyticsMobile/';
var reg_exp = /(ipod|iphone|android|opera mini|blackberry|palm os|palm|hiptop|avantgo|plucker|xiino|blazer|elaine|windows ce; ppc;|windows ce; smartphone;|windows ce; iemobile|up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|vodafone|o2|pocket|kindle|mobile|pda|psp|treo)/;
if( reg_exp.test(agent) ) {
window.location = moburl;
else {
window.location = weburl;
</script>
</BODY></HTML>
The javascript gets the USER agent variable and does a regular expression match to see if it's any popular handheld device. If so, it redirects them to the mobile address. Otherwise the user is directed to the standard site.
All I need to do is pass around the URL:
http://localhost:9704/OBIEE.html (instead of the standard http://localhost:9704/analytics)
And users will be dynamically sent to the correct location.
thanks everyone!
-Joe
