Open Doc - & in Child report prompts issue

Hi,
I am opening a child report using open doc function. This works fine but if there is no LOV in Child report with ampersend (&)
="<a href=\"http://server/XI/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&iDocID=7544&sWindow=Same&lsSSelectBusinessGroup:="[vTeam]"&lsSSelectOrgLevel01:="[Current].[Org Level 03]"&sRefresh=Y\">"[Current].[Org Level 03]+"</a>"
If valuue of [Current].[Org Level 03] has value eg: 'R&D' the child report is selecting only upto 'R' excluding '&D'. Because of this no data is seen.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
This is because of the character &.
You need to enclose the value in double quotes. Use Char(34) while forming the url.
="<a href=http://server:port/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&iDocID=7544&lsSSelect+Business+Group:="+[vTeam]+"&lsSSelect+Org+Level+01:="+Char(34)+[Current.Org Level 03]+Char(34)+"&sRefresh=Y>"+[Current.Org Level 03]+"</a>"
Also you can try replacing & with
&
in the url using Replace function.
If
&
does not work, then try
%26

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.

Cannot open any On Demand reports, prompted to download a file "saw.dll"

Hello,
When I try and open any Siebel On Demand reports I am prompted to download the file Saw.dll. The same problem occurs on FireFox and IE, I have also opened reports on other On Demand environments with no issues at all.
It seems environment related, but no-one else gets the same problem on that environment! Anyone come across anything similar?
Thanks

Hey,
Even I use to face the same problem. Please do the following quick checks
-Make sure Analytics site is part of trusted sites
-Go to Options-Advanced-HTTP 1.1 settings, make sure both are checked.
This should solve the problem.

Crystal reports prompt issue

Hi All,
I had created the simple crystal report by connecting to bex query (with prompts).
For example in my crystal report ,circle prompt as below list of values
Values                                  Description
[YPES_AREA].[ANPR]     Andhra Pradesh Circle
[YPES_AREA].[ASSM]     Assam
[YPES_AREA].[BIAR]     Bihar
[YPES_AREA].[CHAI]     Chennai
[YPES_AREA].[CHRH]     Chattisgarh
[YPES_AREA].[CORP]     Corporate
[YPES_AREA].[DLHI]     Delhi & NCRs Circle
[YPES_AREA].[EAST]     East Region
At the time of preview,user can select the above list of value ,so that the corresponding prompt value need to display in the report.
Here i want to known,when user select the "Assam" circle in the above list of values,prompt value is showing as "[YPES_AREA].[ASSM]" but i want to show it as a description instead of technical name.
please suggest me is it possible or not?
Regards,
Vinay

Unfortunately the "description" is only available in the LoV and cannot be accessed for use on the report (I believe there is an Idea Place suggestion concerning this very issue...) but there are work arounds.
If the LoV is a static list it's fairly easy. Just use the following formula:
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.ANPR" THEN "Andhra Pradesh Circle" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.ASSM"THEN "Assam" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.BIAR" THEN "Bihar" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.CHAI" THEN "Chennai" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.CHRH" THEN "Chattisgarh" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.CORP" THEN "Corporate" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.DLHI" THEN "Delhi & NCRs Circle" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.EAST" THEN "East Region"
If your LoVs are dynamic it's a little trickier... and I've never tried it using a data warehouse...
but I've always done it using a separate SQL Command. Something along these lines
SELECT
FieldUsedInTheDescription
FROM TableName
WHERE FieldUsedAsTheValue = {?Parameter}
Still pretty simple as long as the parameter only accepts a single value.
If the parameter accepts multiple values you need to use a sub-report.

Crystal Reports prompt issue on export: "The report you requested requires further information"

I have searched through forums for a solution but none seem to work for me.
I have an ASP Webform/MySql application which displays Crystal Reports.
The ones which do not require a user to enter a parameter display fine and I am able to click on export on the CR toolbar and download, e.g. .pdf format.
On the report that require a user to enter a parameter, the report renders fine but when I click on the export button, i get the prompt:
"The report you requested requires further information"
asking for DB login credentials. How can I avoid this?

Hi Arjun,
There is no hiding or conditional hiding tab functionality in DeskI, which would serve the purpose of your need.
One option could be to open up the child report in the same window rather a new window.
Thanks for the reply
I dont want to hide any tab..
i want to open a child report in same report in another tab... in web i
i can use in same window but..... child report i needed have different columns...

Hi,
In BI4.1 SP03, there are couple openDocument fixes related to workspace.
ADAPT01700442
Description:
When using an Opendocument URL to open a BI workspace, a timeout error occurs resulting in an HTTP 500 error
message that reads: "Your session has expired".
New Behavior:
This problem is resolved.
ADAPT01711393
Description:
In Internet Explorer 8, if you attempt to view an Analysis workspace embedded in the SAP NetWeaver Portal using
OpenDocument, the workspace will fail to load.
New Behavior:
This problem is resolved.
What version of BI4.0 do you have?
If the fixes above are related to your openDocument workspace issue, I'd suggest you to test it on a BI4.1 SP03 sandbox.
Hope this helps,

Passing report filter function in Open Doc URL

Hi All,
I have a requirement that the values entered in the input control on one report the same values should be passed to another report.For this I created a document linking from the first report to the second and passed ReportFilter([name of the object]) for that prompt on which I have applied input control.When we navigate from one report to another via the hyperlink we get a error saying that internet explorer have modified this page to help prevent cross site scripting.We realized that this is due to the ReportFilter function passed by us in the Open Doc linking because when we do not pass ReportFilter() function the link works properly.Any other method to capture the values entered in the Input control.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes both the reports are based on the same universe.I tried storing the values of the input control to a variable.But that too is giving me that cross site scripting error.I cannot add a second tab to the existing report and want it through OPEN DOC URL itself.
Please help.

Passing hierachy node variable from BW to BO Webi Report in open doc link

Hello All,
We are working on BW-BO integration and creating Webi reports based on Bex queries.
The question is regarding passing of a hierachy node value from BW to BO through open doc link.
I see that when we pass hierarchy node value, we have to associate that with the corresponding infoobject technical name in the link but not sure in what format it has to be sent.
For example, if ARM is the node value and 0HIERNODE is the infoobject , how should we send this value to BO.
Please help.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Tangudu S

You cannot change anything here. You should really find out how the values are retrieved from the database
THere is another option:
1) Activate the tracing on your BOBJ server
Check the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes) for that:
Unix: Note 1235111
Windows: Note 1260004
2) Run your WebI report from the InfoView by choosing first the desired hierachy node value from the LOV of your prompt.
3) Extract the MDX statement from the log file. It should contain the value for the hierarchy node. Copy this to the URL
It is easier to find this out if you have access to a Crystal Reports Designer installation. Do you?

Issue while opening the web analysis reports

Hi,
One of our user is not able to open a web analysis report with an error messages saying
"Java.Lang.Exception: Unexpected HTTP status code of 500 received from server"
"Document does not exist or no authorization to open the document"
Other users with the same level of access are able to open the report fine and also the same user is able to access the report fine with a test id from his machine.
What could be wrong? Any suggestions please.
The only thing I see here, something wrong with userd ID or password.
Thanks

Hi,
I had also faced this problem earlier. I was using HFM as data source for WA reports. After searching I found that there was some change at HFM level. Some dimensions/members had been deleted or added in HFM. And I was using those missing members in WA Grid.
I had to recreate my reports again as I didn't get any other way to deal with this problem.
Please shared any other alternative option, if you found while working on this issue.

Hello Rupachandran,
the memory id won't work as it is within the current session only.
you have two main options:
1) pass parameters in URL
2) persist the parameters somehow ( shared memory area, database table ) and pass a GUID in the URL which refers to these.
strangely enough although this is a mirror of most of the posts here, which want to launch WDA apps from standard GUI based code, the techniques are very very similar.
you might get some help from looking at this recent post Calling webdypro through R3 Function module

I am using BO 4.0 SP2 Patch 6 and trying to intact with crystal and webi report built on top of BEx query with the fiscal year parameter defined in BEx query level .
Any comment on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vibhav

Open doc URL: unable to open the report in same window

Hi
I'm trying to open a report using open doc url with "swindow=same" but still it opens in a separate window. This happens only when I use JAVA viewer. it works fine in ActiveX and HTML but I want this in JAVA viewer as i'm including this page in my JAVA application and it should open the report in the same window. I tried using "<a>URL</a>" and also target="_self" by HTML interpretation for that object but still the same problem. I'm unable to open the report in the same window by using JAVA viewer for Crystal Reports in info view. Please help me!!!
Envirorment Details: Crystal Reports 2008 SP3, BOE XI R3 SP3
regards
Raghavendra.G

I have tested that myself and It seems that HTML interpretation does not work with the Java viewer.
I have also tried using a hyperlink containing javascript
eg.
javascript:window.location.href='http://www.sap.com'
but the java viewer seems always to launch a new window before processing the command.
I would recommend to open a case by SAP support ( httP://service.sap.com/support )

Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

I have a similar problem, Safari cannot load a complet page. It stalls e.g. ["38 of 42"]. sometimes it will complete loading after a long wait. just as often it will never complete the page,
The same thing happens in chrome and firefox but safari on my iPad works just fine.
I have the latest version of everything
I assume there is a system problem but cleaning up permissions does not help
