OLAP intellgence报表与Web intellgence报表有什么区别,适用于什么情况?

请问：OLAP intellgence报表与Web intellgence报表分别适用于什么情况，在BO产品中分别担任什么角色？
我有一点疑惑，Web intelligence的报表是否都可以用OLAP报表实现呢？
谢谢！

OLAP Intelligence是这专门针对OLAP数据源的分析工具；
WebI Intelligence是即时报表分析工具，它不是针对某一种数据库的。
他们最大的区别就是数据源的针对性。
显然，Web Intelligence和OLAP Intelligence两个工具中有很多功能和细微的地方（包括最后的界面）是双方不可能互相替代的。

Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion

I created a document report in Web Analysis with an administrator user then I created a user in the shared services console and granted him access to the report, but entering with this user I can access the report, but receive the following error message: Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion.

Is the user having correct provisioning in Essbase? Which version? (older versions, you'll have to synchronize Essbase with HSS)

Unable to Connect to OLAP Source - Webi report

Hi
When trying to access webi report , Iam getting Unable to connect to OLAP source
Tried all the notes , All the BICS connections are fine , No of BW gateways are 2000.
Any other options
Thanks
NK

Hi NK,
Please check:
Is query running fine in BEx Analyzer.
In BEX under the Advance tab in Properties to allow access to BOBJ, we have the "Allow External Access to this Query" please make sure it is checked.

Does Merge dimension button work on BI OLAP Universe webi reports

Hello all,
we are using BI 7.0 queries as our datasource for creating universes. When we are using the webi rich client to create a query, there is add query button and we are able to add query but once I add query I am not able see the Merge dimensions button active, is there some setting that is missing or this capability is not active for BI OLAP query universes?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

HI,
Merge Dimension button is working on webi report based on OLAP universes.
Check you have the rights in CMC for merge dimension if it is happening all reports.
Under Home > BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications > Web Intelligence it is possible to set the Merge dimensions for synchronization right for groups and users.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

OLAP query returning "name" rather than "key" attribute for a dimension

Hello,
I am busy with a project that involves drawing data from an OLAP cube (in SAP BW), then transforming and contextualising for use in an EMI environment. The project runs on MII 12.1.
The standard OLAP connector and OLAP queries have been used (would prefer not to go the route of creating a call to the OLAP XMLA web service directly). One of the important dimensions is returned as a name (descriptive text) rather than a key (the cost element code itself), preventing us from reliably applying business rules to classify cost elements. Categorising cost elements based on their text descriptions is not a sustainable solution.
The output needs to allow for two dimensions (cost element and an equipment identifier) against which individual cost values will be listed. It appears that the two dimensions must both be on the "x-axis", as result columns are automatically renamed, e.g. C000001, C000002, etc. If anyone knows of a way to suppress this renaming behaviour, please let me know.
Is it possible to force the "key" attribute to be returned instead of the "name" attribute? I have identified two preferred options:
1. MDX syntax of the query itself
2. configuration of the OLAP connector
I have not found a way to do this through MDX syntax, but would welcome any suggestions.
Alternatively, perhaps there is a non-standard way of configuring the OLAP connector so that the key rather than the name attribute is returned for all dimensions. Has anyone anything, e.g. chosen a non-standard ColumnNameAttribute or DataTypeAttribute, in this regard?
Thanks,
Marc Chaplin

Updated GLOBAL_OCM.ZIP posted to Oracle OLAP site on OTN

There was a bug in the GLOBAL_MAIN.SQL script that is part of the
GLOBAL_OCM.ZIP file found on the OLAP OTN web page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/doc_sample_schemas/globalschemawithocm.html
This issue has been fixed. The problem was the GLOBAL_MAIN script did not grant select on the UNITS_HISTORY_FACT and the PRICE_AND_COST_HISTORY_FACT
tables to GLOBAL_AW, so the BuildAWExample.java program could not successfully build the measures in the analytic workspace. These grants have now been added.

I also get a CRC error when unzipping these same files.

Using WebI with SAP BW Data - Best practice for introducing BW Accelerator

Hi,
We have a significant investment in using BOE XI 3.1 SP2 integrated to SAP BW 7.0 EHP 1 SPS05.
Now we intend to introduce BW Accelerator to improve the data fetch performance for the Adhoc (WebI) Analysis and the formatted reports built using WebI (Infoview).
Data handling in question is approx. 2 Million+ records for each WebI report / adhoc analysis (20 to 30 columns).
The solution could be BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> BW Queries --> BO Universe --> WebI using Infoview
Does it really help in introducing the BW Accelerator like the case described above ?
Understand that the BW Accelerator could improve the performance of the underlying data and hence the BW Queries do work faster; but does it really improve (9x to 10x) performance for the MDX Queries generated by the BO Universe ( BOE XI 3.1 SP2 ) & WebI.
What is the roadmap for the future wrt BW Accelerator and SAP BI BO Integration; if we intend to use WebI ?
Or should be migrate to BO Explorer as the front end for Adhoc Analysis ?
Is BO Explorer able to present 1 Million + records with 20-30 columns ?
What is the best practice / better on performance; as an integrated product / solution ?
1) BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> BW Queries --> SAP Integ Kit --> BO Universe --> WebI
2) BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> ??? --> BO Explorer --> ??? --> WebI ???
3) BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> ??? --> BO Pioneer --> ??? --> WebI ???
4) BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> ??? --> BO Explorer
5) BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> ??? --> BO Pioneer
6) BW Cubes --> BW Accelerator --> BW Queries --> SAP Integ Kit --> Crystal Reports (to handle above data volume)
7) BW Multiproviders --> BW Accelerator --> BW Queries --> SAP Web Analyzer (to handle above data volume)

Rajesh K Sarin

Hi,
We have a mix of Adhoc Analysis (60 %) and Formatted Reports (40%). We selected WebI as the tool for the purpose & used it for requirements which process approx. 2M records. We faced bottleneck issues on performance (we are on BO XI 3.1 SP2 & SAP BW 7.0 EHP1, SP05).
We are further analyzing possibility to introduce BWA; if this can handle similar record processing & still preserve our investment on OLAP Universes, WebI, SAP Integration Kit & training users on WebI frontend.
I see a lot of documentation suggesting "BO Explorer and BWA" - understand that BWA would improve the DB time and BO Explorer would help on the Front-end / OLAP time.
Request your guidance on the road map & continuation of investment using BWA + WebI.

WEBI prompt based on bex variable suppress not assigned hashtag value in LOV

Hi,
is it possible to suppress the "Not assigned (#)" value from the list of values in a webi prompt based on a bex variable?
This "Not assigned" value is something BW specific, BW adds this to each characteristic automatically?!
WEBI:
RSRT:
It needs to work in WEBI, not only in RSRT, and the filtering of data still needs to work.
For rsrt it works, when you exclude the not assigned value in "Filter > Characteristic Restrictions" and use the bex variable in/through "Filter > Default Values", but this does not work in WEBI, because the BEX Query Data is not filtered on the in the prompt selected value.
Thanks.
Regards
David

Thanks David for a quick reply !
I could manage to avoid # values in WebI prompt using BAdI implementation, here is the brief:
Problem:
WebI report prompt (which shows BEx variable) list of values shows blanks or # . Rrequirement was to avoid these blanks or #
Environment:
BW 7.3
BO 4.0
BW Cube > BEx Query > OLAP Connection > WebI report
Solution:
InfoObject Level1 in BW had # values in masterdata, this could not be deleted since it was in use with other Cubes.
Vaurable Var_Level1 displays # when pressed F4 running BEx query and in list of values in WebI report prompt.
I implemented BAdI on Level1 info object and variable Var_Level1.
Steps to implement BAdI are as in following link
BEx Query - Control the values which are shown on F4
Used following code to elimitate #.
METHOD IF_RSR_VARIABLE_F4_RESTRICT~GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT.
DATA: l_s_range     LIKE LINE OF c_t_range.
DATA: l_var_range   LIKE LINE OF i_t_var_range.
DATA: IT_MZLEVELS TYPE TABLE OF /BIC/MZLEVELS,
WA_MZLEVELS LIKE LINE OF IT_MZLEVELS.
DATA: L_ZLEVEL1     TYPE /BIC/OIZEVEL1.
IF i_vnam EQ 'ZV_LEVEL1'.
SELECT /BIC/ZLEVEL1
FROM /BIC/MZLEVELS
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_MZLEVELS
WHERE OBJVERS       = 'A'.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
SORT IT_MZLEVELS BY /BIC/ZLEVEL1.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_MZLEVELS COMPARING /BIC/ZCLV1GP.
DELETE IT_MZLEVELS WHERE /BIC/ZLEVEL1 = ''.
l_s_range-iobjnm = i_iobjnm.
l_s_range-sign   = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
LOOP AT IT_MZLEVELS INTO WA_MZLEVELS.
l_s_range-low    = WA_MZLEVELS-/BIC/ZLEVEL1.
APPEND l_s_range TO c_t_range.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

Super slow when loading bw query variables on webi

Hi there,
On the bw query - OLAP universe - webi stack, sometimes it takes super long (up to around 1 hour) to load bw query variables (i.e., to wait for the variables dialog prompt), just after clicking the "execute query" button.
What would webi do during this period? How to reduce the waiting time?
the env is BOE XI 3.1 SP2 + BW 7.0018
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
at that point the members for the parameter are loaded. you can easily change that by activating the property "delegated search" for the list of values in the universe.

Bex Free characteristic drill down in Web i report

Hi
I have a question, we are using bex query as source for our web i report.
for that if you have an idea on Bex query analyzer, we can drill down on a free char list in bex and each and every drill down bex query go back to cube and fetches and refreshes the data based on the selection.
In the same way can i get the same feature in Web i report, when i drill down my web i report should go back to the Bex query
and should refresh the data.
Any help in this regards is greatly appreciable
Thanks in Advance,
Swaraj.

Hi,
What you described is an OLAP 'slice and dice' type workflow - try the Analysis web application (in bi4.0 launch pad). WebI can do some drill down, but it is really best at consuming small chunks of rowsets (not 'flattened' OLAP datasets)
webi does go back to hit the database, but only when you click "refresh". so you can add a new object, and it sometimes says "#TOREFRESH" - then user refreshes to expand the scope of analysis.
this process was automated in XI3.1 (where the interface didn't prompt for the refresh) and customers typically complained of slow response times. i.e. they didn't realise the inclusion of a results object fired a new query.

H

Unit Conversion - in both Webi reports and Dashbaord

Hi Gurus,
BOE XI 3.1
Datasource: SAP BW query.
In BOBJ, How to allow users to make a selection on US$ or Euros and display measures in US Dollars or Euros ?
Also, how to convert KGs to LBs ?
Data Flow:
SAP BW query -> OLAP Universe -> Webi Report
Thank you,
Dev
P.s: My BW users are currently able to see data ieither in US$ or Euros on 'SAP Portal' by doing a selection on the 'currency type' field.

Hi Kuldeep,
I tried them, but, they are not useful when US$ are involved. Looks like they work only for some currency types within Europe.
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thank you,
Dev

Xcelsius or WebI Business Content

I have created the ODBC links to the excel file both on my local laptop and server using the 32 bit admin tool (ODBC) in windows.
Current Issue
When i log into the BI Launch pad and open web intellgence, i try to create new and use the univerise i have published. I receieve the following error.

Hi ,
Go to : Control Panel - > Add / Remove Programs (or "Programs and Features" on win7)
looks for : SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.0 Client Tool   <- that's the base install
now look for an entry called   SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.0 Client Tools SP2 Patch2.8
these are not automatic updates, it would require an installer be launched on your PC.

Input Controls Unavailable to Users

A number of our users do not have the Input Controls button available to them. This button is supposed to be found at the lower left corner when viewing a report, along with the buttons for Navigation Map, User Input Prompt and Find. Any insights on why this is happening?
We checked the InfoView preferences of one of the users. The setting for WebI View Format is Web. The only other option is PDF. Is this the cause?
Does this issue have anything to do with the user's machines? Is there anything that needs to be installed on their computers in order for the input controls button to appear?

Hi
Which Version Of Business Objects Web intellgence You are using ?
if it is BO XI 3.1 Then goto preferences>webi> default format(interactive)-->ok
Still the problem exists then reinstall Ur Application
Thanks & regards
