Is the Source report data is from a data source or is it static?You can do hyperlinking in both types of reports. First, design the target report. From Source report, by selecting Hyperlink options, you can link the report.

Missing records when performing drill down in Webi

Hello everyone!
I have a Webi report over a OLAP universe (BEx query), in which I have, among other objects, company code, wage type with hierarchy and personnel number.
I want to build a report with the following layout:
Company code 1 | Employee 1 | Wage type hierarchy | Amount
With this layout, when I try to drill down through the wage type hierarchy, the displayed values are not correct (some records are apparently missing).
When I remove personnel number from both query and report, the displayed values are correct.
Has anyone encontered a similar issue?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
-Luís.

Hi all,
Turns out that our backend BW system was seriously outdated. There has been recently many corrections to the MDX interface. We have updated our service packs and this has resolved our issue.
Thank you all for your help. Points assigned

Drill Down thru hyperlink and return

Hi,
In one of my report(REPORT A) I am drilling down using navigate to another report (REPORT B), and I have a "return" at the bottom of the report.
I am facing the following problem when i do this:
Step1: I am opening REPORT A and drilling down using the hyperlink from one of my column to REPORT B.
Step2: I am opening another report, REPORT C, which has NO connection to REPORT A or REPORT B.
Step 3: When I click the "return" link at the bottom of REPORT B, it takes me to REPORT C instead of REPORT A.
How can this be fixed? Please help. Thank you.

Hi Bifacts,
In that when you say "After I Open REPORT C", do you mean you "REPORT C" is provided as link on the dashboard page?
-- Yes, REPORT C is provided as a link in the same dashboard page.
this is what i understood from the first 2 points:
there exists a single dashboard page, where you have REPORT A initially displayed to user and REPORT C as a link.
-- REPORT A, is also provided as a link.
On "REPORT A" user is provided with a on click cell navigation to "REPORT B".
-- Yes
You say you can "return" back safely now.
-- Yes
But when you click on the "REPORT C" link you don't come back to the dashboard contiaining "REPORT A" and "REPORT C" link right??...now correct me if i am wrong.
-- At this point let us assume I have clicked on REPORT A, and it pops up my dashboard prompts and I input values, it displays my report, and from the report, I drilled down and now I also have REPORT B up. Now I click the link to REPORT C, and input values thru the dashboard prompts of REPORT C, and REPORT C is also up in a seperate window. After this I go back to my REPORT B, and click return, instead of returning back to REPORT A, it returns me back to REPORT C's dashboard prompts.
-- In another scenario, if I click on REPORT C's link, and the dashboard prompts for REPORT C comes up, I input values and display REPORT C, then I click on REPORT A, and input values in REPORT A's dashboard prompts and drill down to REPORt B and click on the return in REPORT B, i safely return back to REPORT A.
-- The problem is the return takes me back to the last opened(clicked thru link) report, instead of always taking me from REPORT B to REPORT A as only these two reports are related using cell navigation.

How to perform drill-down on web besides in Runtime previewer?

Hi, I tried to display my report on web browser. My reports contains drill-down fuctions(srw.run_report) which works great in Runtime previewer. However, when I tried to used Report Server 6i to delpoy my report on the web browser in html or pdf format, the drill-down function didn't work. Does anyone know how to do it? I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajendra,
Again prasanth here, As u said, there is no more push button in 9i and 10g, ok. so u can drill down reports by using hyperliks which is only way(according to me). some may suggest to include JSP buttons. But u can simply place any text item like 'click here to run report' and in the property inspector(i.e.property pallette) set the hyper link property with the desination of your file. It may be a weblink or may be local file path.
example
hyperlink: www.oracle.com/..or
c:\temp\test.rdf
or u can write a trigger for that text item:
1)right clik the text item
2)goto pl/sql editor
3)put the code
a varchar(30);
begin
a:=srw_run_report('<the report link you want')
return(a);
but before doing this make sure that the item type of tha t text item property should be pl/sql(this can be set in property pallete of that text item)
I think this help you,
Thanks and Regards

Dynamic filter with drill down in WAD

Hello Expert,
I am new in WAD and I have a requirement as below:
Data in Provider:
Mat1 Mat2   Plant   qty
M1     M2       P1      10
M1     M2       P2       20
Report layout in Bex as below:
Row:
Mat1
Column:
Qty
Free char:
Mat2
Initially I open the WAD report, data should filter on Plant = P1
Output:
Mat1 qty
M1     10
Now If I right click on Mat1 (select filter value and drill on Mat2 level) data get filter on Plant = P2, it show as below
Mat2 qty
M2    20
How I can achieve in WAD.
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
Abhishek

You can restrict the value in variable screen with default value plant as "P1" and added the query to template. Now you can executed the query in portal you drill down through context ment filter -> filter on value then select the value to "P2" and add it then click "OK" it will show only P2 value. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/44/33eb19e2173ec8e10000000a1553f6/content.htm https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/43/152fa54b315a38e10000000a422035/content.htm

Is it possible to use a Java command to RRI and then Drill Down?

I am trying to build a Java command to jump from Report "A" to Report "B" through an RRI and then apply the same drill downs to report B as the user had entered in Report A. I want to use an RRI as this saves the user re-entering the selection criteria.
I can get the characteristics that have been drilled down through the command SAPBWGetDataProviderDimensions so all I need to do is complete the RRI and then reapply the same drill downs.
I've set the code to do an RRI and a simple drill down (see below) but it isn't working,it simply rebuilds the screen (IE no RRI nor expand).If I remove the EXPAND command the RRI works.
function sheptest() {
/* Get the optionnode */
myhtml = '<form name="MyShep" method="post" action="<SAP_BW_URL>">';
myhtml = myhtml + '<input type="hidden" name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1">';
myhtml = myhtml + '<input type="hidden" name="CMD" value="RRI">';
myhtml = myhtml + '<input type="hidden" name="RRI_RECEIVER" value="QURY0001">';
myhtml = myhtml + '<input type="hidden" name="CMD_2" value="CMD=EXPAND&IOBJNM=0MAT_PLANT__0MATL_GROUP">';
myhtml = myhtml + '</form>';
alert(myhtml);
document.getElementById('MyForm').innerHTML = myhtml;
I also tried changing the dataprovider through the command RESET_DATA_PROVIDER, instead of using the RRI, but when I did this I am forced into the selection criteria screen, which the users want to avoid (as the variables are all the same).
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Shep.

Hi,
this is only possible with BW 3.5. There you have the possibility to add the parameter &rri=X to the RESET_DATA_PROVIDER command. This will result in transfering filters and variables to the new Query / View.
With RESET_DATA_PROVIDER you can create a command sequence.
It is not possible to have a command sequence influencing the result of the command RRI.

Unable to Drill Down for Report Designer

hellooo...I created a report using a query in Report Designer. My query is having a structure in the row and I'm using this query for the report in Report Designer. After I created this report in Report Designer, I assign this report in Web Application Designer and create a navigation pane to link this report for the drill down function. But I have problem on drill down this report in the web template when i click on this navigation pane for the free char i defined. Eg: when i drill down for the char in the free char under the navigation pane item, I cannot perform the drill down horizontally but can perform drill down vertically. After perform drill down, I don't see the values from that char being displayed in the reports. Just wondering report in report designer cannot have any drill down function? or is my query problem due to the structure i defined? thanks alotttt...

The report designer needs a fixed Column definition ( structures)
In case of drill across this requirement is not fullfilled.
This is not changable and is due to design, sorry.
so you can only drill down.
best regards,
Kai

Drill Down error with more than one dimension

Hello
I'm using AWM 10.2.0.3.0A with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 and i can't perform drill down operation when i have more than one dimension in the same axis. That is, when i have two dimensions, a can't perform drill down on both dimenions at the same time, but only one at a time.
Would anyone ever had this problem? What can be?
Thanks
Luciano

Hello Brijesh
I succeed do this operation in other works, but not this. After performing drill down in the first dimension, i clicked on the second dimension and nothing happens.
It doesn't emit any error message.
Normally should be able to view the data calculated for the two dimensions. I have 6 small dimensions tables (average of 700 records). I don't know what can be.
Thanks,
Luciano

MSS: Team View Drill Down Capabilities

Hi all,
Is there a way that you can be able to drill down through employees in the Team View? I'm trying to figure out if when employees are loaded, if they are a chief, the little + sign shows up beside the photo, and you can then drill down to see who reports to that manager.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Siddharth,
Here is a picture of that screen. I have covered up the names. But as you can see, the pictogram for the org chart is coming in. I did choose the Person pictogram for the employee, but as you can see, it is not there. Somewhere in the code, the pictogram reference is being deleted. I'm not sure where, but doesn't make sense to me. Whe you hover over, information on the employees and the org are coming up. I would still like to get this to work.
Cheers,
Kevin

Table Data Preview tab: Missing Filter Textbox + Drill Down Data Discovery

1 - With Oracle based tables, when I click them and the table preview loads with all the tabs, on the Data tab there is a Preview entry box. I do not see the same with SQL Server or MySQL based connections. Is there a way to enable it? Am I not looking hard enough or is this function only available for Oracle based tables?
2 - I'm having a hard time trying to search for an answer to this next question (too many false positives based on the terms I am using). In other tools I have used (namely DB Visualizer), when previewing data in the Table's Data tab, a user may 'drill down' through values by right-clicking the field and applying a filter from the pop-up (drop-down with the field names, usual SQL comparison operators and a text entry box). I see SQL Developer has something similar with a filter list, but it only seems to prompt values in the buffer (in order, no less) and only uses the = operator (no LIKE). Finally, I notice that this value is not even present in the Filter text box (if you wanted to edit it further, add more, etc). As with my prior question, am I missing some usability/functionality setting/config or does this feature simply not exist in the way the other tool employed it? This feature is what keeps the other tool installed on my machine.

Hi Jed,
1) Sorry, the tool just has fewer bells and whistles for non-Oracle database connections. You might try adding this as a feature request on SQL Developer Exchange.
2) The normal SQL operators such as LIKE, <, and so on, are supported for the individual column filters, but there are some quirks:

Drill down on cross tab report

I would like to know whether it is possible to drill down through groups in a cross tab report.

go to your online help in crystal reports and in the index section, look up "report part navigation".
read through the sections on report parts and go through each section (using the right arrow at the bottom left of the help page) until you hit the section that is titled "context Report Part option scenarios".

Oracle BI 10g Drill Down

I have a problem when I drill down through a hierarchy...
imagine this hierarchy: year > half > quarter
I start the report only with the year column and click to drill... naturally OBIEE opens the half column and then I can press on the year column again to make another dill or I can press on the half column to drill, both this options open the desired column (quarter) but in different ways:
if I press the year column again the report shows:
year > quarter > half
and if I press the half column the report shows:
year > half > quarter
and this second behavior is what I need! Is there any way to get the second behavior when pressing the year column?

I don't think its possible too... but I have a client that has this requisite in a project so I'm trying to find a definitive answer whether that can be done or not. Thanks! If I find an answer I'll share it!

Drill down in webi on Bex

HI,
How to perform drill down when using BEx query as source at web i level (there is no hierarchy created in BW)

Hi,
This is explained in Web Intelligence BI4 user guide (paragraph "4.5.1 Drilling on report data")
You cannot use a Navigation path on BEx queries. Navigation path (previously called the drillpath) has been replaced by the collapse/expand workflow on the real hierarchy.

Lose chart drill-down for webi based on BEx/BICS

Hi All,
I have a client for whom drill-down through charts based on SAP hierarchies is an essential requirement. My research here (and elsewhere) has led me to the following conclusions:
1. IDT Universe (.unx) can't be based on BEx query (functionality briefly appeared then was revoked with subsequent SP)
2. The supported/recommended method for reporting against BEx query is the BICS connectivity
3. A webi report based on a BICS (although offers nice new sap hierarchy interaction) does not support drill-down through charts
Just looking for confirmation that I am correct...and that my reports will therefore need to be based off traditional universes (.unv), to achieved drill down on charts in webi?
Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Ferdie.

Hey Ferdie
1. Build table in WEBI Document include the Hierarchy object (0COSTCENTER).
2. Choose the CostCenter, right click set as Selection.
3. Now add new Blank Cell and put it near selection , enter there some text , like JUMP TO, DRILL and etc..
4. Now select the CELL . right click , Linking and Hipper Link or Document Link, and choose there another document
or you also can choose self document. When your linking to another webi document you can transfer to it parameters to prompt. So Transfer the costcenter as parameter.
The document link option available only when you run document in View mode (No rich client without JAVA). I will open OSS to SAP about this issue
Also you can choose to open the document in current window, so then user will think that he is still in same document
Example for link parameter:
/portal/1110311905/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AdJiD59b4kJKkhNpGCYT8Q0&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&lsSpsCost%20Center%3A=Ness&sWindow=Same
I hope this will work
