Need Web reporting settings

Hi Friends,
I am working in BI 7.0 .
Trying to execute simple Web reporting but can not display report in Internet explorer.
I think between BI and Internet Explorer need settings.
Anyone send me settings Details.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi I think you do not have your Web Server(ISS) configured properly. I you are talking about the Web Analyser then this should be the possible answer.Or you should have a firewall which is blocking your port. Call the Basis Consultant to look at your problem. If you have a error message displayed please provide it in the post.

Displaying UMLAUT characters in WEBI report - Need Confirmation in Settings

Hi,
I am using BOXI-R2 in Windows machine. I have done the below settings in BO configuration files.
My WEBI report shows no data to display when there are UMLAUT German characters (for example) in the data. Japanese and English characters are displayed in the report properly.
Settings:
1. Arial Unicode Font installed.
2. fontalias.xml - Default section font is Arial Unicode
3. i18n.xml - Arial Unicode MS entry available
4. defaultconfig.xml - <CUSTOM_GUI_FONTS VALUE="Arial Unicode MS"/>
5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME0 - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
7. cs.cfg - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameters>.
8. oracle.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
9. sybase.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
10. odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> in default section
My WEBI report is using generic odbc connectivity to sybase. After some changes to the above settings report displays UMLAUTS properly with the below change.
odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">CharSet</Parameter> in generic odbc section
Please let me know whether this is the correct change to be done for this issue. Also what is the reason UMLAUTS are not getting displayed when i use UTF8.

Hi Ven,
You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.
Thanks,

IE settings for web reports ?

Hi Guys,
I am having a strange problem.I have created simple web reports using WAD in 3.5.
While executing the reports some users are able to see the reports,but some getting the
error"Page can not be displayed".Is there any settings I need to do in those desktops in Internet explorer ?
Regards,
Suravi

Hi Suravi,
Please check the user to clear the cache in the internet explorer and then try.
After then if he/she is not getting the report means it may be the user doesnt have authorizations to view the report.
Please check in SU01D, for the user to know whether the user got the authorization or not to view the report.
Then if possible chk in PFCG, which role is been assigned and to which country he is authorized.
Rgds,
Ravi

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.

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:

Regional Settings when scheduling a webi report

Hello,
I have BOXIR2 SP4 installed on a Windows 2003 Server.
When I run a Webi Report In the Infoview Portal (or in webi), that means when I refresh a report or save a report to Excel or PDF Format or the date format is correct. When I schedule this report from Infoview, it's also ok.
Correct Format ==> format of the language defined in the Infovier User Interface Settings.
(infoview in french --> french format , infoview in english --> english format)
But, When I schedule this report from the Central Management Consle (CMC), the date are displayed in the english or american format : 02/11/10 instead of 11.02.2010
I check the "Regional and Language Options" on my Windows Server and the language is set to "French (Switzerland)".
All the BO Services are running with the 'Local_system Account'.
I don't understand why it is not taking the French language to generate the reports... ? Which parameter or file based on?
How to change this behavior ? It is a way to "force" BO to take an other language ?
A big thank you for your help! I have already gone through the forum but found nothing concrete ...
JP

Hello wavery,
I finally solved my problem. And In fact it was very simple I thought that by leaving the default value "Use Interface locale" under the web Intelligence Tab, the settings defined in the interface were taken into account, but this is clearly not the case!
My settings were defined as follows :
Infoview > Preferences > General > My interface locale is ... --> French (Switzerland)
Infoview > Preferences > Web Intelligence > Select a format locale: --> Use Interface locale
(I don't understand why the French were not chosen because my interface was defined in French ??)
My settings, after modification:
Infoview > Preferences > General > My interface locale is ... --> French (Switzerland)
Infoview > Preferences > Web Intelligence > Select a format locale: --> French (Switzerland)
>>> It works !
Thanks for your Help...

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks

Need to have same report format in Xcelsius as there in WEBI report

Hi All,
I have 5 tables in my WEBI report placed horizontally. But when i try to bring these tables from webi to Xcelsius using Live office, those tables are appearing Vertically in excel. In there any work around for this. I need to display those tables horizontally in the excel as there in WEBI report.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Hi Remi,
If export the CR report to excel, you can import this excel sheet in Dashboards using the symbol near Manage Connections option.
But this will be a static spreadsheet. If you want to use the live data then you will have to go with Live Office data connection.

Question if Webi reports need to be re-pointed to Universes

We are running XIR2 SP2 using a SQL 2005 database. Our Universes are connected using an ODBC connection. We have moved the database to a new SQL instance and have created a new OLE DB connection in designer. I am in the process of changing the Universe's connection in Universe Parameters, from the ODBC connection to use the OLE DB connection. This is the only change to the Universes'. Are there any reasons why the webi reports using these Universes need to re-pointed to the Universe in Query Properties?

Hi Michael,
If you have made any change in the universe connection and reexported back to the repository then you need not to repoint the report(preexisting one to the universe).
You have to just refresh the report to observe the change.
You can test this using this workflow;
Create a test universe with sql server 2000 ODBC connection , now using this create a webi report and in that use a function name connection().
It will show you the details of connection in the report.
Now go to universe and change the connection from ODBC to oledb.
Reexport the universe.
Open the report and refresh it , the data in connection() function will show oledb details which were earlier showing ODBC details.
So we dont have to repoint the reports to the universe.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Gaurav

Need to clear last selected prompt values while refreshing webi report

While using ALL within cascading prompts its still showing the last prompt values selected in infoview and not while editing and trying to run webi reports.
Is there any way to clear this?
I have implemented following options to resolve but did not work
1) Delete the .lov files of universe.
2) Delete the contents in data folder by going into storage directory
3) Implemented the non_persistent concept in prompts
Code is as follows for the filter with in universe
@Select(Customised LOV\State) = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)
or
'ALL' = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)

Hi,
In Web Intelligence, the Query Filter Condition consists of 3 parts:
- Object on which condition is applied
- Operator (=,<,>,matches pattern, etc)
- Operands (constant, LIst of Values, etc)
You will find a button with a "?" sign which is also called as Prompt properties. When you click on this button, a new window will open and in this you have an option for "Keep last values selected" which is checked by default.
Uncheck this check box --> Click OK. Run the report and save --> Relaunch InfoView to avoid any caching problems.
Hope this works for you

Filters from BEX Printed in Webi Report..URGENT HELP NEEDED

Hi Guys,
In bex query customer has been defined as filter. In webi when we created report using the bex query,It prompts for customer . How can we print the selected customer in my webi report Without using prompt summary().
We can't use User Response because its not a Webi query filter.
NOTE: we are using BOBJ 4.0
Hassan

HI,
Eventhough you have created variable BeX query designer.
User reponse will work ,
steps to achive,
1.open the universe build on (Bex query with customer variable)
2.you can find the filter symbol in universe for customer variable that you have created in bexx query
3. then copy the exact text eg:"select the customer" in universe for that filter
4.then in webi user reponse of that text. eg :userreponse("select the customer")
regards,

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

SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

Hi,
I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
Below are the settings that I had done:
Setting of Characteristic in BW:
Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
Example data:
Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Edison Wang

Hi,

Web reporting does not work in BW system

Following seems a little odd....
ms/server_port_<xx> PROT=HTTP, PORT=8080
I would expect something like:-
ms/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8102 (or other relevent port number)
