No data in WEBI report - but plenty of data in the underlying Bex query...

HI all - I have a problem with my webi queries - which are sometimes breaking...
We run in the XI 3.1 ans SAP int, kit - SP 2 on both.
Sometimes af perfectly well functioning webi report suddenly returns no values - stating that the query didn't find anything. However - if I run the bex query with the same selections I get plenty of data. So there is data. Therefore it might be a Int. kit problem - however, when I bulid a new webi report - similar to the first one, with same dimensions etc. but without all the formatting - It runs fine too!!!!
So it seems like somehow the original webireport has lost the connection to the measueres which it holds - has anyone any idea to what the cause might be and how to fix it?
By the way - I havre refreshed the Universe and there is nothing to update.

Hi Ingo - the MDX statement from the MDX trace - does not yield any data - However, if I make a similar selection in the BEX, there i data avaiable - so it might be a problem with the how the MDX statement is generated.
I've trouble shooted further and my learnings are so far:
The problem is caused by a combination of 5 dimensions
If you remove either one of the 5 dimensions - the query returnsdata
If you add a specific meausure (a restricted bex key figure) - data is also returned - also in the other measures.
The MDX statement looks like this:
SELECT { [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MOA2YCJM1LAPRQNG], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MPTG70294GIUMJ70], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NGQDWFMH0MZ7LEP8], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NI9R53543I7CG78S], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NWVQXAK7CQUMKQEK], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NYF45Y2UFM2RFIY4] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [0CALMONTH2].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0REPTT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0EMPLSGROUP].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PAYSCALEAR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0ORGUNIT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZBOORGUNT ORGEH 01].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ) ON ROWS FROM [ZMPHPTGL1/ZDQHPTMN1] SAP VARIABLES [0P_CALMO] INCLUDING [0CALMONTH2].[12] [0P_CALYE] INCLUDING [0CALYEAR].[2009]
Where all the measures in fact are restricted keyfigures from the Bex query. The dimensions are business content characteristics, as are the variables used.
The above MDX statement returns nothing - but if you remover either one of the dimensions in the cross joins - the expected data is returned.
Any ideas to why that happens?

No data in Webi report, but data in underying BW Query

I have a Webi report that is built off of a universe that is built off of a BW Query. When running the Webi report, instead of getting data I get "All Data" under each field in the report, as opposed to the actual data. I feel like I'm missing something fairly basic. Any help would be much appreciated!

Try using the L01 dimensions, not L00.
Hope this helps.

Breakout of data for Webi Report

I am not sure if this question should go here or in the Universe forum but I will post it here first. I am using BOBJ Edge XI3.1 with SQL Server 2005 holding my data.
I have a universe that has 4 tables in it. The first table is "CSS_Facts" which is a Fact table consisting of aggregate data. Table two is "TJG_Organization_CSS" that holds six levels of hierarchy for all clients. Corporation, System, Facility, Division, Service Line and Department. Department is the lowest level so there is an "Organization_Key" for every department for every client. Table three is "TJG_Survey_CSS" which holds all of the survey data for every client. Every answer for every survey has its own "Survey_Key". Lastly I have "TJG_Time" which has a "Time_Key" for every day of the year.
Table "CSS_Facts" has a foreign key for each of the three tables above with the same field name as the key field in each of those tables. The cardinality for all three of these joins is many to 1 from the "CSS_Facts" table (ex: many "Survey_Keys" from the Facts table to one key in "TJG_Survey_CSS"). The facts table also has 4 other fields which hold the counts and or computed fields.
All of this works perfectly for most of what we do. I can build a WEBI document that has all of the fields that I need. As an example, I can get a report of all the statements for a given timeframe for a specific survey number for a specific client. If the survey has 50 statements in it I can get back all of the statements with the counts for all of the possible answers for each statement. This is expected and what we want.
Our problem is being able to break this down based upon the answer(s) to one question in the survey. Let's say statement number 2 in the survey is an age statement that has 5 possible answers. Answer 1 might be "Less than 18.". Answer 2 might be "19 to 29.", and so on. When I filter my query in my Webi to just bring back results for anyone who chose Answer 1 (Less than 18) for this statement I get back pretty much what I expect, that question only with all of the possible answers but a computed total for just answer 1 (less than 18) with all of the other answers getting zeroes. Again, this is what I expect to get back based on the WHERE clause that is generated but not really what we want. We want to get back the complete survey in the report, all 50 statements with new count totals per statement based on the answer (Less than 18) from that 1 question.
Is this possible to do within Webi reports? If not, can this be done outside of a webi report, but then brought back into the Universe to be consumbed by a Webi report?
Thanks for any help in advance.

You can use the following work-around without the need for an SDK solution.
Display this info in the report in stead of in the pop-up...
Just create a cell with the info want to show and hide it if there is data,
(use and alerter to empty it when you have data and hide on empty)
show it when there is no data fetched.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

How to run webi report automatically with the current date/system date in webi report

Hi Friends,
I have a webi report which has a date prompt now. Based on the selection that user makes while running a report, he will get the related data for that particular date selection. Now I want to make that date prompt automated that is the report should run automatically based on the system date daily on scheduling.
I want it to run current day automatically without have to go in and pick the date in webi report. I will be scheduling the webi report. Can you please let me know how to achieve this functionality of running a webi report automatically with a system date.
Please let me know if I couldn't make you understand so that I will write with an example.
Waiting for your valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hello Bhasakar,
1.Create sysdate object in the universe
2.Create another query in webi and select only sysdate object
3.In the original query drag the Day object in the filter pane and choose the "List of values" from another query.and select the sysdate object from the second query.
So your report always will run for sysdate...

Naveen D

Authorizations for WEBI report based on BPC data model

Hi All,
We are strugelling with setting up authorisations for the reporting on BPC data model.
We created Bex query on top of Multiprovider that consists of BPC cube. The Bex query is source for WEBI output. The authorisations has been set up on BPC data model (cube) in BPC application but they are not passed nor to Bex query nor to Webi. Example: The query is build on top of OPEX BPC data model, this data model is restricted based on Oranizational Unit. My test user is allowed to see only Org Unit = 'Australia' in the OPEX BPC data model, however when I'm running the report I can see absolutely everything.
We are not connecting/using any BI cubes itself for this reporting. We are intrested only in the WEBI report based on BPC data models.
We were trying to use BPC data model (without any extra settings) as the source for BEx report, we were also trying to use virtual BPC data model as the source for Bex transient query - but non of these have helped.
Can you please advise how the authorisations should be set up for WEBI reporting on BPC data models?

Hiding table items in web report when "no applicable data found"

Hi,
i want to hide a complete web item from a web report using web table interface
when i have the situation "no applicable data found".
I cannot use javascript due to requirements in my solution.
can i set some attributes in the START method in the class?
i can see there is an attribute N_NO_DATA which tells if no data is found.
Can i use this in the other methods to hide the complete table including table heading?
Best regards,
Jarle

Hello,
datas are available in the Cube, they are displayed when there is no filter or when only one single value is selected in the filter.
The problem happens when two or more values are selected in the filter.
Example :
The field selected is Profit Center.
Without filter the I can see :
PC1
PC2
PC3
etc...
If I select in filter the value PC1, I can see :
PC1
If I select in filter the value PC2, I can see :
PC2
But If I select in filter the values PC1 and PC2, I can see :
No Applicable Data Found.

WIS 10901 error while running WEBI Report but no error in the DESKI report

Hi,
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue.
we have recently migrated BOXIR2 - BOXI3.1. many of the reports are from SQL Server and Oracle databases.
Oracle Database connection universe reports error:
i'm getting WIS 10901 error while running WEBI report for some particular objects not for all the objects but the same time i could able to pull the same object in the DESKI.
those particular objects having lenthy data's for ex:100 bytes. but i tried same 100bytes some other objects refreshing fine and displaying results.
i don't know where we ar missing.
SQL Server Connection universe reports:
These reports are giving mismatched results from the original but the callculation are done by the reporter side by creating variables. other than that there are no issues with these reports.
Please we are struggling lot on these issues, can anyone please help us.

Hi,
For your issue 2 check whether any filters used in XI R2 are missing in XI R3. As during migration some filetrs might be missed. To check this in slice and dice panel in both bo versions.
Cheers,

Last Refersh date in Webi Report

Refresh Webi reports automatically after BI data loads ?

Hello,
We are about to install BOE X.1 on top of BI 701.
The idea would be that the users would perform their WebI daily reporting, but obviously only after SAP BI night batch scheduling is finished, and the BI infoproviders filled.
I've read that BOE ofers you the ability to refresh the reports upfront.
We were wondering if there is a way to easily implement this logical dependance : to refresh the Webi Report only after the end of BI data loads.
There is off course, the possibility to use an external scheduler, but we have checked the licencing and it's quite expensive.
Is there another way to do so ?
Many thanks for your attention.
Best Regards.
Raoul

Hi Alan,
Thank you very much for your quick answer.
I would like to make sure that I understand you since I'm not very familliar with BOE :
First , we create an event in the CMC and connect it to a file location
Then we schedule the document and add the file event : do you mean schedule the webi report ?
Finally create the file as part of the Bex query refresh process : how exactly do we do that, in the BI process chains ?
Thank you very in advance for your help.
Best Regards.

Creating a Webi report from R/3 Data

Hi Gurus,
We are running SAP ECC6 with EHP5. Is it possible to create a Webi report directly from the R/3 (without BW system). I read some where that it can be achieved with Data Federator.
Any one has an idea ?
Appreciate your help.

Current User & Key Date in Web Reports

Hi,
I want to default the current user name & current date (could be different from the varaible key date) in the header or footer of the web report. I tried text elements in the web template where we can default only the variable values entered by the user, or general text which include above two texts along with many other details which are not required by me. I have also tried text variable in the query properties in vein. Could someone give some tips, please.
I have a formula variable "Current Calender Day". How I can create a text variable from this ?
Thanks & regards,
Sheeja.
PS: I'm a functional guy, so kindly explain in detail if any EXit coding is involved.

Hi Sheeja,
If ur looking this option for a web template then please follow below steps for current user name & current date :
1. Create a Text web item present under the Miscelaneous Tab of web items.
2. In its properties tab Tick 'Display Text only'.
3. Select General Text elements For text binding option (Present in Data binding)
In general text Elements option:
Make a binding with a data provider.
For user name select - Current user
For Current date - Select Last Refresh options.
Try this, hope this will help to u.
Thanks !

Previous month data in WebI Report

Hi All,
I have a universe created on a Bex Query. I don't have any variables created in the Bex Query. I have to create a WebI report with Calendar Year/Month as selection and depending on what user enters, i have to display Cost for the month entered by the user and cost for (month -1 ). For eg. if the user enters Feb 2009, then the report should display Cost for Jan 2009 and Feb 2009. I have created a filter for Calendar Year/Month. How do i bring previous month data in the report ? I don't have to modify the Bex Query. I have to achieve it on the BO side. Can you guys help on this problem.
Thanks,
Saachi

Hi,
There is a restriction in BO when you use it with SAP.
When the user filters the data for FEB 2009, you will not be able to get data for JAN 2009 as it does
not go again to the Bex query to fetch this data.
The only workaround as of now to this is to bring all the data using Bex query by having a filter
at the BO Query level where you say Cal year/month key = (From prompt) or
Cal year/month key <> #.
This is because it considers Cal year/month as string and so even at the universe level we will not
be able to create a previous month formula.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Kartik

No data in WEBI report - but plenty of data in the underlying Bex query...
