Need help in migrating SAP Bex Reports to BO

Hi Experts,
We have a requirment where we have to transfer bex reports to BO. Now my question is
whether all the logic performed in Bex Query designer is possible to achive in BO?
Like Customer Exit codes, Filters, Conditions,Exceptions ,Cell Definitions,Hierarchies,
Variables (text,charateritisc etc) .
Please can anyone suggest me on this any sort of document or material is very helpful.
Thanks & Regards
Sameer Khan

Hi,
Customer exit we can't write in BO,it need to be in Bex side only.
Filters-we can define any where.
Variables(char)-we can define any where but i'm not sure about Text variables.
Please have a look at the below links

Now Iu2019ve to create a report which will be executed at the end of every month and should display the list of Functional Locations whose Cycles were planned in that particular month, along with the last completed Cycle/Date.
Thus based upon above data, if I execute report at the end of (say) March then report must display:
Functional ---     Curr. Cycle --- Planned Date --- Prev. completed Cycle --- Prev Completed Date
Location

Any idea how can I display Previous Completed Cycle and Completion Date (i.e. the last two columns)?
Regards,
Vikrant.

hi vikrant,
You can a Cube at the reporting layer which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
You can populate these based on your logic in the field routine.
Hope it helps.

BO migration from BEx reports

One of my client is running on SAP IS Retail 6.0, and they have few BW reports. Now they are looking for migrating the BEx reports to BO XI.
They do not want to change anything, but want to port the reports as is to BO from BEx.
My previous experience of porting BEx reports to BO as is, without puting extra filters of something, to reduce the huge data size images was not good at all.
Is there any way to have better performance in BO than the current BEx performance, if we want to port the reports as is without any structural change?
Please share your experience with me.

My company is running Webi reports using BOBJ XI 3.1 (up to current fixpack level) on SAP BI 7.01 EHP1-SP5. This config gives 50% reduction in Memory, 30% improvement in runtimes, on average compared to 7.0 BI, according to SAP. But is it good enough for full corporate deployment?
My understanding of the Webi <-> SAP BI architecture is that we still have a large image sent to the XI Box from the query -> universe -> Webi report refresh. The big flaw here in my view is that Webi is disconnected from the OLAP database tables after the refresh, thus must 'image' everything the report requires, in our case into a 32 bit Windows NT box.
This is quite different from the SAP BI OLAP front-end model, in which user navigations are threaded in various ways (sometimes from cache, from aggregates, from indexes on the DSO characteristics etc), as we can see in our BI OLAP processing steps in BI statistics.
After the Webi refresh, there are no 'threads', or calls, back to BI ABAP tables, as the Webi report has to represent all the potential navigation in the MDX model. For this reason it seems a fundamentally resource-intensive architecture, that can induce instability when very large sets of data are retrieved in concurrent user sessions. By "large" think of the 'cubed' size (count of characteristics X count of key figures X number of transactions).
If user activity results in concurrent refresh calls to generate large report 'images' from SAP BI, I have observed 100% CPU freeze in BOBJ XI, and user lockout until resources are again freed up, which can take a very long time for certain reports. Subsequently when the large images are subjected to user OLAP navigations, CPU processing again will spike.
When running large image reports, the Webi performance has been an 'order of magnitude' slower than our reports running on ABAP web. Unfortunately, the risk is greater than just slow performance - there is the CPU and memory resources that are engaged during that extended processing interval as well.
Much depends on the normal level of user activity. This is a matter of simple statistics. Say your overalll production BI system load averages ten users per hour running reports. If Webi report runtime averages 30 minutes per refresh, and BEx ABAP runs in 5 minutes, the probabillity of concurrent resource collisions is much higher - from 10% to 50%, thus the situation can snowball rapidly.
I think SAP is working very hard on this problem, but has issued guidance as recently as May 2009, that if you have current BEx reports that are working, don't migrate them all yet. Unfortunately our users are anxious to run everything in the Webi tool, because it is indeed a super user interface.
However, customers have until 2016 until the Bex tools are phased out. Interviewed by Searchsap, Jonathan Becher, SAP Sr. VP, said, "There are lots of scenarios that BEx does just fine, if you're confident using BEx, don't rush." The same article also quoted Cindy Coyle of Coors, who had tested the Webi BOBJ: ""Don't go near Business Objects [until you get a BWA]," Coyle said, "because it'll only add more performance problems on top of what's there today."

Need help in creating custom crosstab reports

Hello
I need some help in creating custom crosstab reports.
My current report shows the number of events that have occured over the time in a day
The events and the eventdetails are read from the database before being printed on the crosstab
i.e something like this.
Note : there are no events between 3:00-3:59,5:00-5:59;6:00-6:59,7:00-7:59 (not present in the database)
hence not displayed in the reports
*08/07/2009*         01:00        02:00         04:00          08:00          10:00*
Event X                    1               1                 4                 1                  3
Event Y                   3               3                 2                 2                  1
Total                        4                4                 6                 3                  4
So far so good...
Now i have to enhance my reporting application to include the event details which have not happened i.e to include the time details in the crosstab reports where no events have happened
08/07/2009             01:00        02:00         03:00          04:00          05:00         6:00         07:00         8:00     9:00     10:00
Event X                     1               1                0                 4                  0             4             0                1            0           3
Event Y                     3               3                0                 2                  0             2             0                2            0           1
Total                         4                4                0                 6                  0             6             0                3            0           4
I have fell short of ideas this time around to implement such a thing
Any help in this direction is deeply appreciated

Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

Hello,
i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting. Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
So , if you have any feedback , advise....
thanks in advance,
Rgds,

Need help in migration from Layer2 to layer3

HI Guys
Need u r help in migration from layer2 switched network to layer3.
here is the setup there are 9 sites connected with a 10gig backbone in a ring.each site has a 6513 but at the data centre site we having two 6513.we are having a combination of voice and data vlans.at present all the sites are connected with layer2 trunks.all the trunks are teminated at the core ie datacentre site.so how should i procedd and what are the advantages of it ie migration.
Thanks
Mahmood

For this migration you first need to assign IP addresses to your connections between switches. This could be /30 (or /31, if supported) subnets. You should also consider running some dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF between switches.
Hope this helps.

Need Help with Migration...Please

Hello,
I need help! I just bought a new MacBook Pro. In house, I have a two year old iMac running Mavericks (all updated) and an iPhone and iPad (both running the most current OS). I also have the iMac connected to a Time Capsule. Here are my questions:
1. As I am not replacing the iMac, but rather adding a MacBook Pro to the mix, should I migrate the software, settings, files, etc. from the iMac to the MacBook? Is there an issue running computers which are clones in the same environment? Is it a bad idea to migrate?
2. Assuming # 1 is okay to migrate, what is the best way? Is it best directly from the iMac or from the Time Capsule? I do have a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter on hand.
3. Is there a link that would help me navigate the migration?
4. How long should the migration in #2 take?
5. Will I need to change any settings on the iMac, iPhone, or iPad afterwards?
6. Will my contacts and calendar sync with iCloud automatically, or do I have to change a setting on the MacBook to make that happen?
7. Also, as I'm leaving town tomorrow and want to take the MacBook Pro with me and I'm unsure I've the time to Migrate and tweak, can I jus turn on the MacBook (still not turned on), use it as it is, and then migrate when I get back home?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

Need for Portal to support BEx Report (Excel based) in BI7.0

Experts,
We are on BW 3.5 version and upgrading to BI7.0. We have all the reports so far is Excel Based (no web reporting). Do we need to have portal implemented for our BW report to run after upgrading to BI 7.0? In other words, is Portal mendatory to have to run any BEx Report in BI 7.0 invironment? Thanks.
NP

Hello Nimesh,
No, in BI7.0 BEx Analyzer is still supported. Portal is used only for web reports and if needed these web reports can be exported to excel or pdf. It is not mandaory to have portal to see BEx reports.

How to migrate SAP Bex Query to BO report

Hi All,
I want to migrate some of the reports from Bex Query to SAP BO.
Will you suggest me what are the best ways to do this,Whether there are any tools to do this??
Regards,
Shiva Kumar G.C

Hi,
When you say migrate do you mean to use BOBJ for reporting?
If your answer is yes then other questions come into picture.
What type of reports you have in SAP- Adhoc, WAD, Formatted etc?
BusinessObjects is combination of some tools.
WebI is a web base tool and mostly used for Adhoc. You will have to create a Universe on the top of your Bex Query and then WebI Document (WebI Report)
Crystal Reports is used for formatted reporting. You will create connection on the base of your requirement. You can create a Universe or make a direct connection with your InfoProvider and then create your reports. Use MDX functionality to create Reports.
Crystal Xcelsius is used for dash board reporting.
And if your answer is no to above question and you want to migrate your reports to BOBJ like and upgrade without recreating the reports then it is not possible.

Bashir Awan

Which CTC template needs to be run for Bex Reporting Designer

Hi,
In our BW system I do not see any "Bex Web reporting Designer",.
Which CTC Template I do need to rung to in istall Bex Web Reporting Designer"
Thanks for help
sahmad

Hi,
To ensure BI Java is configured correctly and completely, please do the following:
1. Always use the CTC Template for BI Java for configuration (check SAP NetWeaver 2004s Masterguide available at http:/service.sap.com/instguides for details). Manual configuration or configuration via report RSPOR_SETUP should not be done for SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
2. To ensure a smooth configuration process, make sure that you have deployed the very latest patch from SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/swdc for CTC Template for BI Java.
3. To avoid encountering already known issues within the area of BI Java itself, make sure to deploy the latest patches for SCAs BI-BASE-S and BIWEBAPP.
4. Read note 983156 ('BI configuration w. Template Installer') and ake sure the necessary prerequisites are given on the ABAP side. Ensure that you have installed the latest LM Tools.
5. After running the CTC Template for BI Java, run SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool as described in note 937697 to verify your installation. In the "Advanced mode" of the tool, go to the "Configuration checks" tab and check for potential red traffic lights. To resolve the issues shown there, check the "Remedy" column and follow the instructions given there.
6. The overall process is described in more detail in note 917950 ('SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting up BEx Web'). Make sure to go through the note and also have a look at the document WDEBU7_Setting_up_BEx_Web.zip attached to that note, showing the overall process in a set of slides with screenshots.

Thanks and Regards
vijay
Edited by: vijay dwivedi on Mar 9, 2009 1:19 AM

Hi here is a guide of how to understand the components in an ageing report.Hope this helps
Customer Receivables Aging Report
Field
Description/Activity
Currency - Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text and choose the currency in which you want to display the report results.
The available options include:
●     Local currency
●     System currency
●     Business partner currency
●     Any additional currencies defined in SAP Business One
Aging Date - Displays the aging date entered in the selection criteria window.
Age By - Choose whether you calculate the age of the receivable according to the due date, posting date, or document date of the document/journal entry.
Customer Code - Displays the code of the customer.
Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text to open the corresponding Business Partner Master Data.
Customer Name - Displays the name of the customer.
Total - Displays the total amount of open receivables.
Figures in brackets mean that you have already received payments from a customer that exceed the amount of the receivables for the period.
Future Remit. - Displays all open receivables owed by the customer according to the date selected in the Age By field for which the date specified in the Aging Date field has not yet been reached.
Example:
The customer has an open A/R Invoice for USD100, due on May 1st.
Due Date is selected in the Age By field.
The Aging Date is April 28th.
Since the invoice is due after the aging date, the invoice amount is displayed in the Future Remit column..
Letter - Indicates whether a dunning letter was created.
This column is displayed only when generating the report by Sales Documents and by Due Date
Time Intervals - These four columns are constructed according to the specifications you made in the Interval field in the selection criteria window.
SAP Business One displays the relevant open receivables in four columns for the time interval. The amount of future remit is first subtracted from the total sum of receivables.
·         Days u2013 Each column represents the number of days entered in the selection criteria window starting from the aging date and backwards. The fourth column includes open receivables for the days prior to the first three columns.
·         Months u2013 Each column represents one month starting from the aging date month and backwards. The last column includes open receivables for months prior to the first three months.
·         Periods u2013 Each column represents one period (as defined in Administration ® System Initialization ® Posting Periods tab) starting from the aging date period and backwards. The last column includes open receivables for periods prior to the first three periods.
If the number of periods in your company is less than the 4, the non-relevant columns will be titled as Not Valid.
Doubtful Debt - Displays the doubtful debt amount if exists.
Top Total Row - The top total row displays the sum of amounts listed in one column.
Bottom Total Row - The bottom total row displays the percentage of open receivables for each time interval.
Thanks

Need help in Migration of data !

We developed a application using Apex and currently it is going through client testing.
There is one challenge at client side; there are some third party legacy inventory systems at client side where there is data stored in databases like Paradox, SQL server, XML the customers have been using them for last 10 to 15 years.
Now there is some amount of data where they enter into those system; we want to extract some of the data and show in our application. Ours is a hosted On Demand application we need to migrate the data from the client machine and push into our server so that they can view the data online. And we want to run a scheduler every day to extract the data .
Do you have any idea how we can do this in APEX or any tool that can support our need.
Did you hear about spectral.com (full convert)
I really appreciate your help on this.

Hi,
it is not too difficult to load data into a database using only Apex tools, but the problem with this is that it can't be completely automated, as at some stage, a user would have to do a manual file upload.
In order to achieve completely automated upload you would need access at a lower database and database server O/S level as well as have direct connectivity between your Apex server and the legacy source systems. As your Apex system is a "hosted On Demand application" you may be severely limited in your access at those levels.
Depending on your access, you would typically extract and load data from other non-oracle sources using technologies like Oracle's heterogeneous Gateways or third party odbc connectivity and use database links. Or you could automate files to be dropped from the legacy systems to somewhere that is accessible to the destination system where it could be loaded using tools such as SQL Loader or External Tables. This could be scheduled using tools such as cron or dbms scheduler.
I know this is very general, but I hope it points you in the right direction.
