Need Information on "Web Reporting in Portal"

Hi Experts,
I want to gain more knowledge on the reporting side. Is there any reporting strategy that talks about Portal, web reporting and the Business Explorer. What is the best practice for reporting in NW 04's in most corporations? Is there any case studies? If someone can provide me with that info. will be a great help for me. Forum points are guranteed. Thanks
Padma K

Hi Padma,
Most of the Organizations are moving towards web reports due to the following advantages:
1. The web query can be used without the GUI installed on the system. For Bex you need the SAP GUI installed.
2. As per SAP the web queries run faster than the bex query.
3. Bex uses excel which has a limitation of 65,536 rows where as your web query does not have that limitation.
4. The web query can be accessed from any browsing cafe also which is not the case with Bex Query.
Another important point is that you get EP(enterprise portal) by default installed with BI 7.0(ABAP+Java stack). So EP is used for publishing the web reports. The trend and the recommendation from SAP is to use EP for BI web reports. In most of the cases you would have a separate EP consultant apart from a BI consultant. The web report created by the BW consultant is published as an iview by an EP consultant.
BW with EP - Check these docs:

Publishing web reports in PortaL

How you will see web report to portals?How you will publish web report in portals?
Sridhar
Edited by: sridhar k on Oct 23, 2009 1:33 PM

Hi,
There should be some Portal team, or you might be having the rights to publish the webtemplates (Queries) to roles.
After this, there will be a role upload logging in to the portal in which you access web reports.
Once after your role upload process is successful, your reports will be successfully published to Portal and you could be able to run the reports from portal.
There should be some book mark (link) to the portal, which needs your username, pwd to login. If there is a portal team, which maintains the Portal, Please get in touch with them to get the Link of the Portal, and request them to assign you roles, so that you can publish the desired reports to role, Normally done from WAD, Opening the report to publish. There after do the role upload, by logging in to the desired portal with your Username and Password.
Thanks,
MD

Procedure to Publish BI Web Reports in Portal Roles

Hi,
I've created close to 20 Web Reports and need to make those available for Users through Portal. There are different sets of Users, such that one set can access only half, rest can access remaining. I know this can be achieved by creating separate Reporting User Roles, but need help with below points:
1. Our basis team are not familiar with BI7 Role maintenance, thus would anyone share the Reporting User Roles design (i.e. which authorization objects to assign).
2. When I open a Web Template in WAD, the menu Publish -> "in Role" is disabled. Should this be enabled to publish a web report in role or is there any other way?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Need Help on WebI Report

Hi Friends,
I have 2 tables in query1 in Infoview. I want to hide table 1 and column1(out of 2 columns) in table 2.
Please reply with step by step details
Thank you.

You cannot hide the block or columns in Webi thinking that you are accessing Webi reports through infoview. You should make the report invisible by matching the table/column borders and the text color with the back ground color. And align the tables appropriately so that it doesnt appear as empty space in the report.
But why are you having table 1 when you want to hide the table. Similarly with column 1 of table 2. Just get the data you need in the report.

Publishing WEBI report in Portal

Hi
I am trying to publish a WEBI report in our portal.
I initially tried using the BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit - IView Template, but have since been told via my OSS call that is the incorrect template to use, as that is for Crystal Reports only. I am supposed to use the URL iview.
URL iView is reasonably easy to configure, so I enter the URL and parameter for reportID.
Problem is that the iview only displays a small window in the top left area of the iview, and inside that small window the WEBI report is then rendered, making it unusable. I can confirm that the correct report is being rendered, as my variable prompts are appearing.
The report works from InfoViewApp or CMC.
The URL uses the openDocument.jsp page -
http://<FQDN>:<PORT>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp
If I look at the URL generated when viewing the report from InfoViewApp / CMC, then it uses something called viewDocument.jsp instead. If I change the url in the iview to
http://<FQDN>/AnalyticalReporting/viewers/cdz_adv/viewDocument.jsp
then it works, but only if I have signed into the BOE server somewhere else first.
I have continued my OSS call, to see if this can be used, but still waiting on their response.
I am new to the project, and apparently this functionality used to work, prior to upgrading to SP3 for BO XI 3.1
Anyone with any ideas on how to get this content displaying in the full size window?
Cheers,
Andrew
Edited by: Andrew Lewis on Jan 20, 2011 12:27 PM

Seems the issue has been resolved, and possibly a caching problem all along.
I had a number of suggestions from OSS, which didn't seem to work, but then I decided to add the iview to a page, and add that page to a role. When I did that, it worked, and when I then ran the initial iview on it's own, it worked as well.
So for now I ensure the iview is FULL PAGE, and in the InfoViewApp settings I make sure it opens in it's own window .. I now have a nice looking report opening in EP.
The Integration Kit template still doesn't work, but I am reasonably happy to use the URL iview for now, other than worrying about to transport these iviews from DEV to PROD, as the URL will change, but that will be a different topic.
Cheers,
Andrew

Need Help: Could WEBI report directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed?

In 3.0, Could WEBI reports directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed, after exporting to BOE platform?
I've made a test on that and find out WEBI report could not be freshed in Infoview while DESKI report could.
Some colleague suggest me to build the WEBI report based on a Universe created based on the EXCEL file.
I want to confirm, is it a by-design that we could only refresh WEBI report based on universe? or I could do some setting to made the refreshment of WEBI based directly on EXCEL file works?
Please Help!! Thanks a lot~~~

Hi Rachel,
You could try the Rich Client Product Guide [http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_web_intelligence_rich_client_en.pdf] but I don't think it is a problem...more like a feature by design - it makes sense.
You could try the route of creating a universe on top of excel... See posts
[DBMS Independent universe;
[how to connect to excel sheet and create a universe on top of that;
Hope this helps

Hi Hari,
You can develop web templates in the WAD:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/b26a3b74a4fc31e10000000a114084/content.htm
For this you will first need to have your queries/views ready from the Query Designer. Then you can design the layout in WAD using web items and assigning the queries as a data provider as reqd. You can save the web template and from the menu Publish > you can publish as an iView which can then be incorporated into the Portal.
Hope this helps...

For example, I got error when I tried to use the following "display" twice under one view. Is there any documentation that provide detail information about how to use these elements?

Want to view Webi report in interactive mode in EP

Hi,
I am currently doing BO Integration with SAP 7.0. I have done the Integration successfully & have imported roles. Our requirement is that the reports needs to be viewed in EP. I have done the EP portal integration as per the installation document. I can view my CR & webi reports from portal. But my client wants to view the webi reports in Interactive mode as he views in BO Infoview 3.1. I can't find any work around for this.. can anyone help me in viewing the webi report in interactive mode inside EP.
Right now am viewing the report in html format, which is the default, (report viewer.do). Is there any functionality or other viewer name to make my requirement possible
I have installed SAP BO 3.1 & BO Integration Kit 3.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thank you,
Ash

Hi,
you can integrate the viewing of Web Intelligence using OpenDocument or using the KM Integration. The type of the viewer then depends on the user preferences configured in InfoView.
