OpenDocument URL to open a Webi Report

hi,
We are using OpenDocument URL to link Webi Documents to another one. Right now all the prompts are there in Webi Layer it self. In the new Project the universes will be pointing to BEx queries and they will have all prompts in the BEx layer itself. So in Webi layer we dont have to create prompts. My question is can we use same openDocument syntax(sample url when prompts are in Webi Layer--- http://Server:port/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
sType=wid&iDocID=49543&sRefresh=Y&sWindow=New&lsSEnterYear=2006&lsMEnterState=Colorado) to pass parameters eventhough prompts are there at BEx layer?
Also in case we are in the same session,by default iOpenDocument will take that logon token and SSO will happen. How do we force OpenDocument to Prompt for logon credentials even though the session is open.
Could you please help?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi Cuttle,
This is a known question and there is also a record in our system. Thanks for your infomation!

  • Error when trying to open a WEBI report with OpenDocument.jsp

    I have a weird problem, i'm trying to open a WEBI report with OpenDocument.jsp and I get the following error message
    An error has occurred: Could not find the document.
    the weird thing is that this error only occurs when i use Internet Explorer.  When i use the same link with Google Chrome, i see my report.
    How do I make this work, our standard web browser is Internet explorer.
    here is a sample link i use to call my report.
    http://<server>:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AVGrgQALGJZGipKCfjPPZ3g&sIDType=CUID
    Our BO environment is :
    BO XI 3.1 sp2 fp 2.3
    tomcat 5.5 front-end

    Hi,
    I don't know how much this solution will help you but it is worth trying.

  • Open the WebI report from Xcelsius dashboard

    Hi All,
    I would like to know how to open the WebI report from the xcelsius dashboard.
    Looking at the previous posts I followed the following steps to implement the same but that is not working.
    Inserted the component URL button and used the folowing link:
    http://servername/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sIDType=XXX
    But this is givingerre: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
    Also, tried the copying the reprot link, but that is opening the Infoview login page.
    I want the report to opened when we click the URL button.
    Could someone please provide me a solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sindhu

    did you try passing the iDocID parameter? When prompted did you try to login to InfoView and check whether Report gets displayed?
    Ideally the URL should be as below:
    [http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<cuid_of_the_document>]
    If you want to bypass the logon screen,you need to modify the OpenDocument.jsp to pass logon token to the above URL i.e.token=+token where the +token is being retrieved by sdk.

    Hello Gokul,
    first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.

  • Open a webi report from a Dashboard components

    Hi All,
    I have created a dashboard using Dashboards 4.0.It has a bar chart,line chart,combination chart.all these chart on X-Axis have month names as dimensions and y - axis shows different measures.
    So now the requirement is the user wants to select any month from any one of the chart at one particular point of time.then the dashboard should open a Detailed Webi report( created in BI Launch pad) for the selected month and display that month data in a new window.
    I know that we have to use the URL button in Dashboards for linking a webi document.
    However i would like to know how to pass the selected month from the dashboard by selecting a particular month from any of the graph component as a parameter to the respective Webi report in BI Launch pad.
    Hence any body how to implement this in Dashboards please let me know the step by step process.
    Thanking you,
    Regards,
    Naga Nanda Kishore.

    Hi Kishore,
                Month name should be prompt for the Detail  Webi Report, so when u clicked on bar its going to carry that Month as Well. And Syntax for adding Month will be like below.
    Suppose if it is Sample Open Doc:
    /BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC
    So u have to use this Syntax for Month
    lsSMonth=+ Map the Cell where month is capturing. (Note:In  lsSMonth Month is next of Prompt for month in Detailed Report.
    And final URL will be
    "/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?mistype=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC&lsSMonth=+Selected Month"
           (Open Doc)                                                                                                                                                          (Sending         (Selected                                                                                                                                                                                       Month)                 Month)
    And For trigger the URL button you have keep trigger URL when Month Value changes(Based on Selection), means you have map trigger cell to destination of Bar chart Month Destination.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Issue while opening saved web reports

    Hi,
    The web reports are saved as excel to local machine using 'Export to Excel' fuctionality.
    But when the excel report is opened from local machine BW system requests a UID/PWD.
    It is a Standard functionality when Hiearchy images are present in the web report.
    One solution is to create an anonymous log in for the BEX service or MIME service or create an alias for the BEX service and use the same in the URl. But we can not implement any of these solutions now.
    Is there any other solution existing for this like creating a class and create a service for the class and handle this logon issues at the class itself.
    Can anybody please let me know how we can handle this?
    Thanks in advance..

  • Encode & in Opendoc link to open a webi report

    Hello,
    We are trying to launch a webi reports from a dashboard  and we are using URL (opendoc command)
    One of the parameters is called the company name which has an & sign eg ( ABC & Associates).
    When we try to run the webi report it never populates the data because of the name containng an &.  We did try to convert the & to a %26. However this resulted in Xcelsius converting our % sign to a %25  giving us a final value of a %2526.
    Is there a function available to encode the URL to solve this issue
    AP

    Hi,
    Are you using Xcelsius 2008? Then the URL will be encoded automatically.
    If you are using Xcelsius 4.5, then you will have to write a simple jsp (using java.net.URLEncoder.encode), and then use "XML data" data connectivity to connect to this jsp.
    Hope this helps,

  • Opening Drillable Webi Reports

    One of my colleagues developed two XI R2 Webi reports that enable the user to drill down.  These reports worked OK while in his own favourites folder but when saved into the repository no-one could successfully open them (not even the creator or Administrator).
    On trying to open either report, it would start to open and display the outer frame of the document, the two tabs within the document (one contains a table, the other a chart) would be visible but the tab content was not visible.  The InfoView session would then hang indefinitely.
    If a user copied the report to their favourites folder, they could then open it successfully and could refresh, drill up and down and resave it without any problem.
    We tried deleting the repository version and resaving it, but it was still the same.  As the users needed the reports urgently, I copied the reports to the relevant user favourites folders as a workaround and have just gone back to investigate further today.  However, today the reports are behaving normally for all users and I can't reproduce the problem.  The Windows 2003 host server has NOT been rebooted nor have any of the BOXI servers been stopped and restarted in the meantime.
    Has anyone else expierenced this type of problem?  If so, did you find out what was causing it?

  • SDK Code for bulk opening of Webi reports and Save

    Hi,
    Is it possible to bulk open webi reports using SDK and save it again.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    Hi Chandra,
    No, This script is for only opening the webi document & saves it back to enterprise without any processing.
    If your webi document have the refresh on open & last prompt value selected properties checked then you don't have to modify the code.
    If you want to handle the prompt as well, then you have to modify the code & write the application flow like below:-
    1. Logon to enterprise.
    2. get infostore service.
    3. get all the webi documents into infoobjects collection
    4. get engines services.
    5. load document instance.
    6. clear the prompt values & set it with new value.
    7. saves the report back to enterprise.
    The 6th point is mossing from the script. You can add that piece of code in the attached script also you can take help from the sample codes & Developer guide & API references.
    Thanks,

  • WebI Report causing WIS 30270 error on UNX universe

    Hi All,
             Need some expertise on a really weird error I am facing. I have a dashboard designed on a UNX universe, and a connecting URL that opens a WebI report that is also designed on the same universe. The dashboard is working fine for all the users but when the users open the WebI report, they face the WIS 30270 error which has a bunch of discussions but nothing related to the weirdness I have here.
    As an administrator, I don't see the issue at all. Some general users have the issues but intermittently though. So I believe the servers are not the cause. Then I investigated access levels but users within the same user group have seen the error while others haven't encountered it at all.
    The WebI reports that have been designed on BEx queries are all working fine with no issues. Please advise and help me figuring out the issue and resolving it.
    Current version of BOE: 4.0 SP6 P3
                               BW: 7.3
    Universe designed on SQL Server

    I had a simular problem once, universe worked on Explorer, Dashboards but not on the WebI side.
    The problem was, I used the "MOVE" option inside CMC, and moved the universe to a diferent folder. And for some reason something inside the universe still pointed to the old location, and only webi was not able to find it, I mean, it was able to find it, but not apply the correct permisions, and it would fail when I tried to refresh the report.
    Can you create a new universe and test?
    Or open the current one and save it with a differente name on another folder?
    If that isn't it, are you using SSO on that universe?
    That's it for now.. hope this helps.
    Best

  • Issue while opening webi reports using OpenDoc url in Chrome browser

    Hi
    We are in SAP BI4.0 SP7. We are facing weird issue while opening the webi report via OpenDoc url in chrome. we are facing the below issue only in chrome and it works perfectly in IE and Firefox.
    For the first time the report gets opened properly(when a session is created). If we try to open the same report from the same machine in a different browser tab, report gets opened up without any Tables\charts. We could see only a blank page with just the Report Tab name at the bottom. If we do refresh on the page, the report opens up correctly. We have checked for packet drops and there is no such thing. Is there any setting that we should make to resolve this. Your help is appreciated.
    thanks

    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
