One Webi Report with multiple Cascade Prompts

HI
I have a requirement to create Cascading prompts on WebI reports. I have two questions.
1) Can one Webi report have two or more sets of Cascading prompts.
2) The universe is used by several groups of business useres. But only one group needs to have a Cascade prompts. Therefore, if i create Cascading prompts on Universe what is the impact to other business users who dont want the prompts as cascading prompts.
Please provide me this information.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the repoly. Can you please provide me more information.
I understand that I need to do following steps.
1. copy existing universe as universe II.
2. link Universe II to Universe 1.
3. Create cascade prompts on Universe II.
4. Provide access to Business group with the requirement of cascade prompts to Universe II and rest of the groups to Universe I.
Please let me know if my understanding is right.

Schedule a Webi report to multiple folders in BOXIR2 InfoView

Hi All Expert,
I might need your kind advice on what is the alternative way to do the below in BOXIR2 InfoView.
In my InfoView, i have several sub-folders under one folder. For eg, i have one "Sales" folder which contained multiple sub-folders as "SG", "CHI", "MYS", "JPN" and etc. I have one webi report created which have a country name prompt in the report and exported to each different sub-folders which the report prompt have been selected for each country name before export to the sub-folder. Eg, "SG" sub-folder have a webi report with "Singapore" as country name in the folder. All of the sub-folder's report are using the same webi report design.
My problem now is i need to open each of the webi report in the sub-folder to everytime when i need to perform a schedule or perform changes on the report design. If i have 12 sub-folders, i need to open 12 times to perform changes one by one or schedule the report to run one by one.
Are there any other alternative way to schedule one time then BO will copy the relavant report or instance to the multiple folder?
Appreciated your kind advice.
Regards,
Chee Koon

Hi
a publication object allows you to schedule X webi reports (which reside in several subfolders in your system) at once.
If you want to first to create/overwrite copies of your report in X subfolders and then schedule them all at once then you have to go with the SDK (even in BO XI 3.x)
You can find more information about the SDK here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards
Ali Touzlatzi

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Bursting a report with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!
Here is the data template for the report:

Hello user6428199,
When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
Thanks,
Machaan

Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

Hi,
I tried in building a report as shown in the example in OTN under reports in the url
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
<select ...>
<rw:foreach>
<option value="<rw:field .../>">
</rw:foreach>
</select>
to populate a select list.
regards,

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

Web service with multiple out parameters

Hi Developers,
I have been playing around with som web services in the developer studio.
I can create a webservice from a normal ejb.
But i can only get one out parameter, which is the return parameter of the ejb.
I tried to make an object to use as return parameter, but then i couldn't use the method for the web service.
Can anyone tell me how to make a web service with multiple out parameters?
Br Rasmus

Hi Developers,
I have the same question, is it possible to have multiple outgoing parameters?
When not, does SAP Netweaver knows a IN-OUT parameter? Because I found on the internet that it is possible to have a IN-OUT parameter. But that was with the BEA Weblogic 8.x.
When not, is then the only solution to return a object? With in this object all the parameters you want.
Or otherwise is there a other workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Marinus Geuze

Single report with multiple queries OR multiple reports with single query

Hello Experts,
I have a confusion regarding Live Office connection for many days. I asked many people but did not get a concrete answer. I am re-posting this question here and expecting an answer this time.
The product versions that I am using are as follows:
FrontEnd:
BOE XI 3.1 SP4 FP 4.1
Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP4
Backend:
SAP BW 7.0 EHP1
I have created a dashboard which is getting data from a webi report using LO connections.
The webi report has five report parts which are populated by five different queries.
Now my question is, when the five LO connections are refreshed, is the webi report refreshed five times or just once?
If the report is refreshed five times, then I guess it is better to have five different webi reports containing single report part, because in that way we can prevent same query being executed multiple times.
SO what is the best practice- to have a single report having multiple queries - OR - to create multiple webi reports with single query?
Thanks and Regards,
PASG

HI
I think Best Practice is Multiple reports with single query
Any way If LO connections refresh 5 time the query will refresh 5 timesRegards

Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

Hi,
Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found".
Thanks,
Debbie

Debbie,
That's standard.
It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
I hope that clears it up for your.
Regards,
Mark

Can create Webi report using multiple universe (multiple datasource)

Hi All,
Can we create a Webi report from multiple universe (can say multiple dataprovider & datasource)?
Please suggest.
Regards,

You can bring as many sources together into one report as you like.
However, to use them together you must have some common dimension, such as a particular Sold To Party, Business Partner, etc. You can then use merge dimensions to develop your report but you will need to be aware that dimensions that are NOT Common to both data providers cannot be used in a table combining two data providers.
So, if data provider one has dimensions Resort, Product and Year and a measure object Sales Value
while data provider one has dimensions Resort and Year and a measure object Cost Value, you cannot use Product in a report but you can display Resort, Year, Sales Value and Cost Value together to show you how much revenue each resort is generating each year and how much it is costing you to do so. To have product in the report table, you would need to add it to data provider two.
Hope that clears it up for you.

How to connect Already created WebI reports with Xcelsius Dashboards

HI Experts,
My requirement it to bring data from already in use WebI reports to a consolidated Dashboard. I am aware of connecting universe with Dashboard with the help of QaaWS.
Is there is any other way that we can connect our dashboard?
We are thinking to publish those dashboards on the SAP Enterprise BI Portal.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
One can connect WebI reports with Xcelsius dashboards in 3 ways:
1. Using QaaWS : connects universe with Dashboard. Dashboard uses the WSDL link to get data that works on SOAP (that works on exchanging web structures).
2. Using Live Office Connection: With the help of Live Office one can connect the WebI reports directly. One can take advantage of the scheduled instances of the WebI reports. So it is good for time consuming reports.
3. Using BI Web Services: Here custom web services are created of intended report instances. Publication is done from CMS side.
after that WSDL is used as any other web services.
Get back if you need any further clarification.

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Report with multiple Detail Area

Hi All,
Please see the Report pointed to the link below:
[Report with multiple Detail Area|http://us.share.geocities.com/felix5ac/fairway.jpg]
Some Explanations:
========================
(1) The line with "ABCDEFGH..." is variable data coming from the database in the Detail Area
(2) The lines with "WBLNX'" "123, 123.12",
"WBLNX'"
are variable data associated with the same Heading: "ABCDEFGH..."
(2b) There can be multiple lines of data in the detail area (i.e. 1 or more "ABCDEFGH..." and the associated WBLNX and numbers...)
(3) Item Code Descriptions ==> is a Header Info
(4) ARL ... and FPHI... ==> are variable data and lines in these area can be 1 line; it can be 4 lines; it can be 10 lines...
(5) Lines FROM "Artwork Procedures..." to the the end of the page are static.
QUESTION:
===================
How do I best design these Report with the multiple detail areas? Again, please see link of the Report above...
Thanks and Best regards,
Felix

Hi Felix
You can place the less detailed fields in the regular sections of the report and wherever you require multiple lines you can use the subreports.
Hope this helps.
