Opening a instance of a webi report from a dashboard

Hi everyone.
What's the syntax for opening a particular instance of a report in Infoview from a dashboard?. We have this daily report that gets generated everymorning and users want to be able to drilldown from our dashboard by selecting a date from the calendar. So if the user clicks ysterday's date, the instance of the report that was generated yesterday should be opened, not the latest one.
Thanks.

Hi Alden,
Refer to page (66/82) of
[Viewing Reports and Documents using URLs|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf] guide.
One of the opendoc parameters you pass should be "sInstance" and your URL should look something like
http //<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?<parameter1>&<parameter2>&...&sInstance=(either Last/User/Param)
Thanks,
Subhodeep

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.

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

Generating webi report from excel sheet.

Hi to all.
can I generate the web intelligence report by excel sheets in info view,if yes how can I generate them or any alternative solution exist to this..
please reply
thanks in advance

Hi Rajat,
Starting from BOXI R3.0 version, Rich client is used for accessing WebI reports other than Infoview. i.e. Similar to Desk top intelligence, it can be installed in any local machine and using it we can access WebI reports.
If you don't have Rich client then install it in your pc, then start creating WebI reports from excel using Rich client.
Navigation: Open rich client -> select local source(browse to your doucment i.e excel sheet) -> select required tab in excel(for the report) -> ok
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

How to link a webi report from crystal report

Hello everyone,
I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

Migrating a webi report from one environment to another using import wizard

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please tell me what all access should I have on my ID to be able to migrate a webi report from one environment to another environment(e.g. from development to quality).
Regards,
Neeraj Sharma

Hi,
To use the Import Wizard utility, you basically need Administrator, Full Control to Top-level folder, and "Add objects to the folder" and "Edit objects" for this user on the root folder.
You need the least restrictive role, because you require absolute control for content promotion between 2 entitlement systems.
the webi document is the cherry on-top, you;ll have universes, connections, folders to bring over too.
Regards,
H
p.s. check Note 1450708 - How to restrict access to the Import Wizard from a Business Objects Enterprise system
and
Note 1297121 - What rights needed to use Biar File Extraction for a normal user while using Import Wizard ?

Schedule a Webi report from the CMC

Hi, ALL
Is there a way to schedule a Webi report from the CMC without using an email account in the
'from' box? There are other placeholders that can be used but I don't know how
to use them please advise.
Thanks.

Hermant,
You need to make sure you configure the proper email server. Go to the CMC - Server > AdaptiveJobServer>Destination>Email. You may need to enable Email as one of the Destinations.
You must configure all the HIGHLIGHTED options.

Ajay

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!!!
Edited by: BIBO_Apprentice on Aug 13, 2011 7:40 AM

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.

Firing off a report from a dashboard.

Hello everyone- my first post! I hope you guys can help me...
As far as I know, you cannot export a table into an excel spreadsheet when that table is in a dashboard.
So I created a link in the dashboard soi that when you click on the account name it fires off a report that looks the same as the one in the dashboard.
I thought this would create a report that would allow the table to be exported but instead, the report appeared in the dashboard and there is no option to export to excel.
So does anyone know either...
Is there a way to download tables in dashboards to an excel spreadsheet?
OR...
Is there a way to fire off a report from a dashboard so that it can be exported to a spreadsheet?

You certainly can download data into tabular format from a Dashboard.
In the Dashboard Designer, choose the Properties button located on the embedded report that you want download-able. From the resulting menu, choose "Report Links".
This will give you the option for Refresh, Printer Friendly, and Download. You can choose to display any of these.
When enabled, the Download link works just as in Reports, offering to download the report in Excel, csv, etc.

How to import a Webi report from XI 3.0 to XI 2.0

Hi All
I have a requirement to open a webi report (*.wid) from XI 3.0 in XI 2.0, any ideas how i get this file in the XI2.0 CMS?
thanks

XI 3.0 is only backward compatible with XI R2 to the extent that XI R2 client tools can connect to an XI 3.0 repository (this is available only to not require multiple versions of client tools during a migration).
This said, a Webi report modified/migrated to/created in XI 3.0 cannot be imported into XI R2.

Hi Mohit Gupta,
Degrade the java version to java 7 update 45 and also degrade the java security level to low from medium. Also delete the java temporary files and also clear your IE browser cache as well.
This solved the issue for me.

Jump in a WebI report from report A to report B (BI4)

Hi all,
Within my WebI document I want to jump from the first report to a specific report in de total WebI report. Is this possible with the OpenDocument function?
An example:
Column A    |   Column B
Value 1       |   KeyFigure 1
Value 2       |   KeyFigure 1
My customer wants to click on "Value 1" and then jump to a report (same WebI document) with details of Value 1.
When clicking on "Value 2", he needs to jump to a report with details of Value 2.
Hope this scenario is possible in BI4 WebI or do I need to wait on the RRI functionality?
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Pieter

The problem with the value "#UNAVAILABLE" is solved. In this case I created a variable with the in-operator:
=[Spend 2011] In ([Segment type])
Now I want to jump to another report in my WebI document. For this scenario I created a new variable (with name test) with the formula:
=If [Segment type] = "FACILITIES" Then "Facilities_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "HR" Then "HR_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "ICT" Then "ICT_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "MARCOM" Then "Marcom_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "NOG TE SEGM." Then "Nog_te_segm_detail"
The dynamic Element sReportname I defined as: ="[test]".
After these steps, the hyperlink will not work with my dynamic Segment Type. Did anyone have this experience and how can i solve this?
Regards,
Pieter
