OLAP Universe and Invalid MDX error

Hi all,
I'm new to OLAP/BW universes and I've run into some strange issues. I've generated a universe based on a Bex query and I'm getting invalid mdx errors when drilling on a couple of the hierarchies. There has been no customisation of the universe so I'm not sure how invalid mdx can be generated??? I've placed Product and Profit center hierarchies and a single Key Figure onto a report and when I drill down on the hierarchies I get the error. It only seems to happen when I have more than one hierarchy on the report. A single hierarchy with Key Figures does not cause an error.
Business Objects Edge 3.1 SP2
SAP Int Kit SP2
OS: Linux
BW 701 Level 6
Executing the mdx in MDXTEST gives the error "Invalid MDX command with {...}"
Webi log entry below.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Keith

  • Integrating OLAP Universe and Non OLAP Universe

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing a problem in integrating an OLAP universe and a universe on two dimensional database. Let me explain the scenario:
    I have one BW query which gives plants A, B and C sales details. I have one more database (SQL Server), which gives plants D and E sales details. The requirement is to show all the plants (A, B, C, D and E) sales in Xcelsius Dashboard. For this i followed the below approach:
    1. To bring SAP plants data, i created universe on BW Query (OLAP Universe)
    2. Created universe on SQL Server tables to bring Non-SAP plants data. (General Universe)
    Now my doubt is, is there any approach or functionality to join or merge these two universes (OLAP and Non-OLAP). I think we can merge Non-OLAP universes. If this is not possible then what is the best approach.
    Can anyone help me on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ramakrishna Kamurthy

    Hi,
    I n order to merge prompts in Web Intelligence query panel, they must be identoical: same question, same datatype.
    But you have to pay attention to the fact that only one list of values will be used for the twio data sources.
    So it the two data sources have different keys (or tecnnical names in SAP) then one query will work and the other not.
    Again if you try to synchronize those two data providers in WebI you will hit the same issues: keys and caption might be  different.
    So I suggest to do some SQL transformation on the relational universe to match keys and captions in SAP BW data source.
    I recommend this because SAP BW does not support custom calculations that return string or dates: only numeric values are supported.
    So in that case if you are sure that keys and captions will be identical in the two sources you will be able to merge prompts and synchronize both sources.

    Didier

  • OLAP Universe and Voyager connection on BW Queries

    Hi,
    I have successfully created an OLAP Universe and Voyager Connections pointing to SAP BW Cubes. I want to do the same connecting to the SAP BW Queries. But when i get connected to the SAP BW system, I get a dispaly of just the Cubes and I am not able to see any Queries. We have created multiple queries in BW pointing the Cubes. But none of them are listed down.
    Please let me know if this is an issue with the rights given to user which we use for logging into SAP system or some other reason.
    Any suggestions and answers will be really helpful.
    Thanks,
    Suma

    Hi Suma,
    Please check if you have released the BW query for OLE DB for OLAP. Goto properties of the Query and on the Advanced tab see if the check box for "Allow External Access to this Query" is checked or not. If it is not checked then please check that box for the query to appear in your Universe Designer.

  • I've bought an Iphone 4S in the UK. Using the phone in Argentina, it displays the "No Service" and "Invalid SIM" errors sporadically. The only solution is to reset the phone (switching it ON/OFF). Any suggestions?

    I've bought an Iphone 4S in the UK. Using the phone in Argentina, it displays the "No Service" and "Invalid SIM" errors sporadically. The only solution is to reset the phone (switching it ON/OFF). Also most of the time, the SMS are not sent nor received...
    The phone was checked by my carrier (phone company, Movistar) and they replaced the micro SIM card. bear in mind that there's no Apple shop here and the Iphone 4S is NOT available in Argentina!!!
    Any suggestions?

    Dear all,
    (THIS CONCERNS MTC TOUCH CUSTOMERS IN LEBANON)
    I've received an email with a solution to the problem; you have to update to the new iOS 5.0.1 firmware (9A406)!! It's been 1Hour and so far my iPHone 4S is working just fine. Please follow carefully the below instructions:
    RUN A FULL BACK UP BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS
    1. Download the new iOS 5.0.1 firmware (9A406) from the internet. (800MB)
    2. Connect your iPhone 4S to iTunes.
    3. Once connected, two options will show: ‘restore’ and ‘check for update’.
    4. Press down SHIFT and choose ‘check for update’. (if you click ‘check for update’ without pressing down SHIFT doesn’t work.)
    5. Select the new firmware (9A406). Note that the file should be renamed ‘iPhone4,1_5.0.1_9A406_Restore.ipsw’  (instead of ‘iPhone4,1_5.0.1_9A406_Restore.zip’), i.e. changing the file extension from ZIP to IPSW. iTunes will now work alone and update your iPhone 4S.
    A full back up is recommended before firmware upgrade.

  • OLAP universes and Crystal Reports

    Hi everybody,
    as we know Crystal Reports can not use OLAP universes as data source. The details about that have been discussed several times in this forum, for example in the threads:
    Logon failed with Universe data source
    Logon failed when trying to connect to a SAP BW related universe
    The possible data sources are perfectly explained in the Blog from Ingo Hilgefort.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog
    But... why these connection type is not possible???
    From my point of view these missing functionality comes with a lot of drawbacks. The universe has a lot of advantages, and first of all it is isolating the business users form technical complexities. But if the business users can not access to the OLAP universe they have to face to technical complexities.
    Another point: Consider a perfect integrated SAP BW environment with Business Objects Enterprise and Crystal and Xcelsius. The administrator can now define a perfect universe structure, tailored on the particular business needs of the end users. This universe structure can be used for Web Intelligence and Xcelsius (QaaWS). But for the Crystal Reports I have to define another interface to the BW data sources, which can not be done by the Administrator.
    So, some open questions:
    - Why is the connect to OLAP universes not possible - does that make sense?
    - Will the connectivity be available in future - is that part of the actual roadmap?
    - What is the recommanded approach for a business case as shown above, meaning how can I isolate my business users from technical complexities by using SAP BW as data source for Crystal Report.
    Thank you for any comments and advises,
    Sebastian

    Hello to everybody.
    When I was starting to work on the BO products I had exactly the same question.
    Why were the OLAP Universes not supported in Crystal Reports?
    Well, I have a few facts in my mind, I explained the decision of SAP in this case with for myself.
    1. Very simple and my first thought: monetary aspects. There excist the SAP Integration Kit. These drivers work pretty fine. So for what reason SAP should invest money in an other technique to access the SAP data?
    2. It excist a server solution for small and medium-sized companies named Crystal Reports Server. I'm not sure but I don't think this package contains the Universe Designer. If acces on SAP data over the OLAP Universes would be possible, the Crystal Reports Server customers should also get the Designer tool and the Translation tool, too. Less profit margin.
    3. Creating a Universe out of OLAP data destroys the moredimensionality. Universes are flat constructs. So maybe it makes no sense to use this meta layer.
    4. A typical Crystal Report user isn't someone who had no technical understanding. For me these users should know and understand the data source very well. So an Universe would limit there the possibilities for building a report.
    5. I think the SAP itself did not know where the journey should go with this toolset. A roudmap that changes severalt times in one year an many many rumours about these tools proof this.
    So I think maybe we just have to wait a few months and the support for the OLAP Universes will come with a fix pack.   Who knows...

    Sebastian

  • OLAP Universe and drill through with Essbase

    Hi all
    Has anyone created an OLAP universe on top of Essbase that allows the user to drill through back to an Oracle database?
    If anyone has can you please let me know how you did this.
    Thank you and kind regards,
    Dean

    Hi,
    There is no way to activate drill-through from Essbase to any other database within OLAP universes.
    If you are using Web Intelligence you have 2 alternatives:
    <li> The first one is to create 2 data providers (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and synchronize them.
    This is not really a drill thorugh operation but you have both data sources in sync in the same document.
    <li> The second option is to create 2 Web Intelligence documents (1 on Essbase and 1 on Oracle) and then parameterize the Essbase document to use Opendoc capabilities (hyperlink) to dril-through on the Oracle document.

  • Intermittent too many open files error and Invalid TLV error

    Post Author: jam2008
    CA Forum: General
    I'm writing this up in the hopes of saving someone else a couple of days of hair-pulling...
    Environment: Crystal Reports XI Enterprise / also runtime via Accpac ERP 5.4
    Invalid TLV error in Accpac
    "too many open files" error in event.log file
    Situation:
    Invalid TLV error occurs seemingly randomly on report created in CR Professional 11.  Several days of troubleshooting finally lead to the following diagnosis:
    This error occurs in a report that contains MORE THAN 1 bitmap image.
    The error only shows up after 20 or more reports have been generated sequentially, WITHOUT CLOSING the application that is calling the report.  In our case the Invoice Report dialog within Accpac.  This same error occurred in a custom 3rd party VB.NET app that also called the report through an Accpac API.

    after getting this message you need to do 2 things:
    1. delete the current workspace because it contains some bad data in one the config files - failure to delete the workspace will result the error message to appear even if trying to upload a single file.
    2. add to DTR files in groups - no more than 500 in a single add.

  • Best Practice to bring OLAP Universe and WebI Report to Production

    What are the best ways to bring a WebI Report that is developed on a OLAP Universe (based on BEx Query) from Development to Production environment?
    Edited by: B.Wegner on Nov 8, 2010 2:54 PM

    1) Move your BEx query from SAP DEV to SAP PROD (SAP internal transport system)
    2) Move your report (incl. universe) using the LCM or the Import Wizard from your BOBJ DEV to your BOBJ PROD system
    3) Edit the universe connection in BOBJ PROD to point to your SAP PROD system.

  • Changed universe and now getting errors

    Hi All,
    I use WEBI BOXIr2
    I had an original report that had 2 queries to 2 different universes. One universe we stopped using so I emptied out that query and pointed it to the same universe as teh first query. Now when I open the report and go to Edit Query I get a message saying
    The current query contains objects that are missing from this version of the universe. The query will be updated.
    My boss wants me to get rid of this message. So i went to the query and threw in a random object into the results objects pane.
    now I get this message
    A filter is defined on an object that is incompatible with all the objects selected on the Result Objects pane. Remove the filter from the Query Filters pane or remove the objects from the Result Objects pane. (Error: WIS 10702)
    There are no filters anywhere on the queries. Not even on the first query.
    Can anyone help me figure out what this means.
    Thanks,
    Preya

  • Problem in WEBI Report with PCM OLAP Universe (PCM MDX Connector)

    We need to create reports in Web Intelligence from our PCM Models (Business Objects Profitability and Cost Management). We are able to create the olap universe using PCM MDX Connector and we have no problems creating the reports in webi. The problem is when we execute the report (run query): all the data from PCM model is loaded correctly (dimensions, levels, etc.), except the Measures. I mean, the values of all the measures are always zero (0). No matter the way we change the query (adding filters, adding or chopping dimensions, drilling levels, etc.) the value for every measure is zero.
    We've checked the aggretation method of each measure in BO universe designer and are all correctly configured.
    The model in PCM is calculated and even when we run the queries in PCM Model Builder tool directly to the model, the results are retrieved Ok and the measures have correct values (Revenue, lineitem values, etc.).
    Any ideas of what is going on?

    Hi Henry… thanks for your answer…
    The reports we are creating of PCM are not from BW universes, but PCM OLAP Universes. PCM have its own cube OLAP files, and BO universes for those OLAP models use the Business Objects PCM MDX Driver.
    Nevertheless I will try to catch the MDX statement, as you suggest, and see if something is wrong with it.
    The versions we have are: “Business Objects Enterprise 12.3 build 601” and “Business Objects Profitability and Cost Management (PCM) 7.5.11”
    Thanks again.
    Vladimir.

    Create first Report and and Run it - Is this on Relational Universe ?
    Create 2nd Report and run it - Is this on OLAP Universe ?
    >> It doesn't matter.
    Also it says run the report and per Ingo looks like its client slide,so is this merge temporary cannot be saved ,or can per Bashir can be saved in either of those 2 queries or can be saved as 3rd separate query .
    >> it saved as part of the report
    Also it says both should have common fields ,but if one query is from sap and other from non sap how can both be same fields?
    example - SAP query may have field 0material while non SAP will have Zmaterlal ,how can we then merge dimensions
    >> you can have common fields in different systems - or ?
    I would suggest you look into the product documentation for details.

  • Edit an object's select statement of OLAP universe SAP BW

    Hi everybody
    I am new at working with Olap Universes BW, and I have to edit one universe SAP BW, I don't know if I can to use substring function on a select statement, for example  substring([0D_DIV].[LEVEL01],5,5), I try to use this function but I have a error,
    Could you help me? I need to returns part of a string, is correct to do it on a universe or is better to do at BW.

    Hi,
    First of all I recommend you read the documentation that gives you information about OLAP universes and especially SAP BW universes.
    I also recommend to download documents related to SAP universes deployment, administration and customization:
    [OLAP Universes - how to samples and recommendations |https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/globalregions/OLAPUniverses-howtosamplesand+recommendations]
    [SAP Integration |https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/globalregions/SAP+Integration]
    Now you can customize expression using MDX in OLAP universes. MDX expressions must be enclosed with <EXPRESSION></EXPRESSION> XML tags.
    Unfortunately SAP BW MDX does not support calculations that return string or date values.
    The onlyway to return string is to use NAME or UNOIQUENAME attribute.
    See answers I already in the forum: [Forum answer |Re: Create new dimension on top of SAP BW data]

    Hi,
    there's a function builder / formula editor in Universe Designer, with OLAP universes this uses MDX syntax with XML markup.
    to build up some logic, you need to use the "IIF" operator.
    regards,
    H
    p.s.  in BI 4.0,   route-one should be the BICS BEx connection, not the OLAP .unv ..
