Passing a parameter to a BW Web Report via a URL

Hi,
I have a BW Web Report that has a selection screen that allows a project to be selected.
I would like to call the report passing the project as a variable, automatically populate the selection screen field and execute the report.
Is this possible/how could I do this.
Many Thanks.

Hello,
have you checked the HELP page:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw21c/helpdata/en/3a/3c9d398f38407ee10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
You have to add the &FILTER_IOBJNM=0COUNTRY (Filter Object: InfoObject for the project and the value &FILTER_VALUE=DE.
like:
http://your_its/scripts/wgate.dll/WebRFC/!?_function=WEBQUERY&CMD=LDOC&WBID=D9EW857MLP6EN0AEM9BZSQP3C&PAGEID=Template_Name&FILTER_IOBJNM=0COUNTRY&FILTER_VALUE=DE

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
Gokul

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.
best regards,

Passing a parameter list from a web form to a report

I am using FORMS6 and REPORTS6, with OAS 4.07 on NT4 (SP3).
In client server mode all works well - i am able to pass parameter lists from my calling form to the relevant reports and view them (using RUN_PRODUCT).
However, when i try and do the same by deploying the web Form I come up against several obstacles.
1. How do you pass a parameter list over without using "Paramform=Yes" - a waste of time seeing a html version of the reports parameter form when all the necessary parameters have been selected in the form.
2. if i use web.show_document, with paramform=no, the report runs but with it's default settings.
Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony ,
Launcher form is just a simple form(Non database form) which will be having all fields that is required for the report and button to run the report .
When button pressed trigger
Pass all the parameters which are required using Run_product tool & Call the report by Web.Show_document
Best way to see the report is in .pdf format in adobe acrobat reader
I hope it will help you

Thanks a lot
Oleg Bakhirev

I try to use this part of code and get an exception.. (list all dimensions and then try to get hierarhies for drill for al least one of them)
 // drill

 DrillInfo objDrillInfo = (DrillInfo) objReport.getNamedInterface("DrillInfo");
 // add a new drill element from
 // Path where to drill
 DrillPath objDrillPath = objDrillInfo.getDrillPath();
 objDrillPath.setAction(DrillActionType.UP);
 DrillFromElement objFromDrillElement = (DrillFromElement)objDrillPath.getFrom().add();
 DrillToElement objToDrillElement = (DrillToElement)objDrillPath.getTo().add();
 // get dimensions - here is a wrapper around report query
 Metric metrics[] = query.getMetrics();
 for (int i = 0; i < metrics.length; i++) {
 Metric metric = metrics;
 if (metric.getQualification().name().equalsIgnoreCase("DIMENSION") ) {
 DrillHierarchies drillHierarh = objDrillInfo.getContainingHierarchies(metric.getUnderlying().getID());
 if (drillHierarh != null) {

I can't understand why. I get this error even if i send "" as a parameter.. In documentation it is written that it is and ID of dimension. Could you please help me, or may be It is impossible to to set drill elements and drill in this way?
Big Thanks!

Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

Hi,
Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.
CF

Hi Christopher,
Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

Link Webi Report to External URL using URL contained in Dim Object

I am trying to create a link in my WebI report to an external URL which is stored in a Dimension object.
The object is simply a string format which contains a link to a Lotus Notes database
Example:
Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255
When I put the link into Internet Explorer I get the appropriate Lotus Notes databse, however, when trying the same in WebI using the following formula:
="<a href=[Notes url1] target='_blank'>Test</a>"
I get the following URL when clicking the link from InfoView
http://auyhoz04.an.orica.net:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/viewers/cdz_adv/[Notes%20url1]
If I hardcode the URL into WebI
="<a href='Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255' target='_blank'>Test</a>"
It works without a problem.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple...is anyone able to help?

Nathan,
When you build a URL on the fly it requires a certain way to encapsulate everything. Here is another way for you to try it:
="<a href="+Char(34)+[Notes url1]+" target='_blank'>Test"+Char(34)+"</a>"
Plz note the use of Char(34) which generates a double-quote. This method should help you with getting a dynamic product delivered to your audience.
Thanks,
John

No variable Screen when accessing web reports via "New analysis" button

Hello !
I need some help or explanation :
I'm on a web report (Java) and i want to access another report.
I click on the "new analysis" button on the top, then i open the "roles" folder and select a report.
The new report start but without the prompt screen with the variable selection.
I also saw that the URL shown on Internet explorer is the old one (not the new querie URL)
This is the same problem with all my queries when accessing them via the "new analysis" menu.
Why is this screen squeezed ?
I need to have these variable entries !
I've tried some modification on 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN .... (porperties / variable) = no effect
Thanks for your help.
Tech info :
Web template : 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN.

Passing a parameter while calling a web dynpro application on portal

hi
I am having a web dynpro application which retrieves data from R/3 system via RFC using Jco destinations define in the Portal.
Now we have different kinds of portals running on the same WAS, now I want the application to run which access data from different R/3 systems thru different JCo destinations.
I need to create a logic such that mu application runs fine on any portal with any Jco destination.
Is there any provision to achieve this.
kindly let me know about this.
Thanks and regards
kris

Gopi,
there's an parameter called "sap-wd-arfc-useSys" you can pass to the application, to change the used JCo-Connection (read more at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f4/651741f163f023e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
so, if you're running the WD-aaplication on one WAS and call it from different portals, you have to create three (or six with the META-connections) JCo-Connection on your WD-WAS.
In a WD-application you can access URL-Parameters with:
WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("<your URL Parameter-Name>");

Passing multiple parameter values to a detail report. How?

Help!
I have a Summary report and a Detail report.
Summary report has a parameter that may have multiple values (ie returning an array).
I need to pass these values to the Detail report.
Anybody has managed to do it?
Thanks in advance...
Inga

Thank you for your reply Sunil...
The problem is as follows:
I have a report portlet that has a parameter with multiple values. Ie I would have two status values passed into this Summary report that shows, say total sum for those statuses. I have a link from this report to a detail report, and i need to pass both of these values into the detail report.
I have tried adding a parameter (p_status_param) in the SQL query that would be a part of link by building it in "PL/SQL after header section" and doing the parameter replace.
SQL query:
select
'<a href="./RTS.RPT_OPEN_CALLS_BY_ASSIGNEE_01.SHOW?p_arg_names=p_assigned_user_id&p_arg_values='||cr.assigned_user_id||''||:p_status_param||'''>'||s.user_name||'</a>' full_name,
cr.assigned_user_id,
count(*) total_calls
from
trts_call_request cr,
trts_security s
where
cr.assigned_user_id = s.user_id
and cr.current_status_id in :p_status
and cr.assigned_user_id in :p_assigned_user_id)
group by
s.user_name,
assigned_user_id
PL/SQL:
declare
 v_return varchar2(32767) := '';
begin
 for i in 1..l_arg_names.count loop
 if l_arg_names(i) = p_reference_path||'.p_status' then
 v_return := v_return || '&p_arg_names=p_status&p_arg_values='||l_arg_values(i);
 end if;
 end loop;
 myats30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names, l_arg_values, 'p_status_param',myats30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(v_return) );
htp.p(v_return);
end;
However, when you run the report, this is what you get (see what the parameter has been replaced with):
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as RTS - select '<a href=./RTS.RPT_OPEN_CALLS_BY_ASSIGNEE_01.SHOW?p_arg_names=p_assigned_user_id&p_arg_values='||cr.assigned_user_id||''|| ( :zz21, :zz22, :zz23 ) _param||''">'||s.user_name||'</a>' full_name, cr.assigned_user_id, count(*) total_calls from trts_call_request cr, trts_security s where cr.assigned_user_id = s.user_id and cr.current_status_id in ( :zz21, :zz22, :zz23 ) and cr.assigned_user_id in :p_assigned_user_id) group by s.user_name, assigned_user_id order by ASSIGNED_USER_ID ASC (WWV-08300)
Any ideas how I could build this link programatically???
Thank you...

How to call a report via a URL, showing a parameter prompt, but no controls

Hi,
I want to be able to call a report online by passing in the URL to Portal. Want to show a prompt for a parameter value and nothing else, until the parameter is entered. I can get the report to display the parameter and the controls, and I can get it to display without the parameter and without controls. However, I can't seem to find a combination that enables me to prompt the user with a parameter, without showing any controls.
Currently, I am showing the parameter and controls with this URL:
http://{CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/Sector/Comments/Orders/Orders.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FSector%2FComments%2FOrders%2FOrders.xdo&Order_No=&_xt=Orders%20and%20Shipments&_xf=html&_xmode=2
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
http://{CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/Sector/Comments/Orders/Orders.xdo?PARAMETER1=jjj&PARAMETER2=&_xmode=6
You have to pass the parameters in the url inorder to display them in page.
Note : PARAMETER1, PARAMETER2.
jjj was the values passed to first parameter1 as default.
null was passed to parameter2 as default
use xmode=2 or xmode=6 , first one, gives extra report link , second one doesn't.

Passing int[] parameter to PL/SQL stored proc via SQLJ

This should be easy. I want to pass an array of Java integers i.e. int[] as an IN parameter to a PL/SQL stored procedure that expects a TABLE OF INTEGER.
But SQLJ keeps giving me an error when I try to call the procedure, saying that int[] is an unsupported Java type.
Is this true? Is it really impossible to pass a simple int array into a PL/SQL procedure via SQLJ?
All help will be gratefully received.
Chris

Yes, you cannot pass int[], since index-by-tables are not supported by either JDBC or by SQLJ.
(Well, I lied just a little bit: if you use an 8.1.7 or later JDBC-OCI driver, then there is some support for scalar index-by-tables. But not with thin, kprb drivers, or with SQLJ.)

Drill Down in a Webi Report via Dashboard Builder

Hi,
I am using BOE XI3.1 SP2 and dashboard buider.
When you insert a webi document, you can right click on the report to select/unselect a report part. When you do it for a crosstab in drill mode, it losses the drilling capabilities. Is there a patch to correct this ?
Also when you look into the component properties, the display specific report part gives you the following info :
UIREF:RID=2:BID=38.
Is there any documentation which explain how to specify this string ?
Kind regards.

Do you have custom hierarchies set up?
You would need to set the three hierarchies up as you have described.
However, you'd have to consider the drilling within the report as all the objects from all three hierarchies are in each tab.
What concerns me is that the hierarchies can be so different.
Consider A -> B -> C -> D -> E as
Country -> Region -> Area -> City -> Store
How can you logically have the other two hierarchies?
