Prompt issue with WebI Report on top of Bex

Hello Experts,
I have WebI report on top of Bex. I have Material Parameter on WebI which has materal key and text. When I select Material, It gets only Mateial Name not the key. We have some users they want to see both text and key.
Any help would be highly appereicated.
Thanks,
Ravi

HI,
in the universe you have a dimension objects (blue objects) showing the description and a detail objects (green objects) showing the key.

  • Issue with webi report on BEx query

    Hi,
    I have created a universe on top of Bex query.  There is no issue in creating and exporting the universe.  But when I try to create a webi report out that BEx query, I am not able to see the values.  Say if I have a column called "Company"  I am getting the value as "All Company" and so on.  What will be the issue?
    But when a report is generated out of BEx analyser they are able to see the values properly.
    Same user credentials are used in both the places (Importing the query into universe, Connecting to BEx Analyser) .
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subbu S

    Hi Subbu,
    the universe will generate a L00 item and a L01 item. The L00 item shows the All member of the characteristic in the case of a flat list and the Top level nodes from a hierarchy. the L01 item should give you what you looking for.

  • Prompt issue in webi Report

    Hi All,
    My webi report have two date prompt i.e start date & end date.During report refresh if I give the dates which doesn't have any data/wrong data then I'm getting standard error as "NO data to Fetch".
    1.Here My concern is how and where do it.
    i.e Changing  "NO data to Fetch". to custom one. e.g Dates (start date & end date) doesn't have any data like that... 
    2. In the same report if it is in tabular format with given prompts have no data then empty table structure  is displayed. When I change this table to any chart(pie or bar or line..) nothing is displayed for the same prompts. i.e. How can we display empty structure of chart similar to that of table if given prompts are wrong/ not having any data.
    Any help is highly appreciated..
    Cheers,
    Suresh Aluri.

    Hi Suresh,
    Here is the complete explaination:
    Consider the scenario that you have 1 data provider in the report lets name it DP, which is not returning any row for the selected date range.
    1. Union the main query with the dummy Select 'A','B','C',0,0,0 from dual - (Eg given for oracle)
        When the main query returns no row, this dummy query will return 1 row, which will suppress the default pop-up
        of - "no data to retreive"
    2. Place a cell in the report, with the desired error message written. Background white and no borders and font white.
    3. Place the block above this cell i.e. one above the other. Check the property to hide block when empty.
    4. Create alterer to make the font black or to any other color and apply it tto he cell created in step 2.
        Enable the alerter when DP returns only 1 row.
    I hope the steps are clear.. and solution helps you.

  • Performance Issue with Webi report uses SAP BI Query as the data source

    Hello.
    I have created a Webi ad-hoc report which connects to a SAP BI query through BO OLAP universe.
    The layout of Webi is the exactly the same as the BI query.  There are filters in the Webi to restrict the number of data extraction, but even with data result of 5000 rows, it took about 30 seconds.
    If I execute the BI query with the same filter restriction, it tooks less than 10 seconds.
    It seems that large percentage of time is consumed at the MDX part.
    Is there any tuning method that could speed up the process time of MDX?
    Thank you.
    Justine

    Hi,
    please take a look here:
    [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1142664] (Look under related notes)
    It includes references to various performance improvements of the MDX interface. From what I saw there it is advisable to upgrade your SAP BI (7.0)  up to at least Support Package 21 (you are currently on SP 15).
    This may also be interesting for you: There is a new Fix Pack 1.4 coming out for BOBJ XI 3.1. Combined with the related SAP Enh.Pack (not sure about the version of this one) should also improve WebI performance. This fix pack is not yet officially released though but it should not take look.
    I recommend that you try the upgrade to Support Package 21 first.
    BTW it is also advisable to take a look in the results of your MDX query (e.g using the MDXTEST transaction). You should make sure that your query is indeed restricted as expected. Sometimes the results you see in SAP native reporting tools (e.g. BEx Analyzer) differ from those returned from the MDX component, depending on the way variables/restrictions where defined in the query designer. It is all about making sure that there is no apples/oranges comparison here.

  • Issue with Web report interation on CRM Portal (7.0)

    Hi,
    System Landscape/Access route: CRM Portal (7.0) => One BI System (ABAP + JAVA = 7.3 SPS 5 Patch 3)
    After we upgraded our dual SID One BI system (BI-ABAP + BI-JAVA) to 7.3 SPS 5 Patch level 3; the CRM Portal (version 7.0) which uses Application Integration iViews to launch One BI reports has following issues:
    1. Buttons like Open, Save, etc. do not work
    2. Drag-drop of characteristics from Free-Characteristics into report does not work.
    These functionalities work for the same query if I copy the BI-Java stack URL in a separate internet browser. But the same query / URL does not work when rendered via the CRM Portal.
    All these functionalities were working prior to the One BI upgrade. Can you please guide on how to fix this issue?
    Thanks and regards,
    Pratik

    Hi,
    Kindly confirm what was the earlier version of the One BI System (ABAP + Java), before it was upgraded.
    Thanks,

  • Issues with Web reporting..

    hi all,
    we are currently facing a requirement of the client which requires that the printing of the report should automatically be either that of a portrait or a landscape without any user intervention. is this possible???
    and is it also possible to supress the dialog box which pops up once u click on the print option???
    can anyone let me know at the earliest...
    Thanks & Regards
    manicks

    Hi Manicks,
    Are you talking about the How To... Enhance Web Printing solution?
    In this solutiuon it is possible to suppress the print setting page by passing a parameter through the URL:
    P_PREVIEW_MODE = ' '
    Just add this parameter to the URL behind the print button and it whould suppress teh preview mode.
    Regarding the default landscape mode - this can be set as an attribute in the printing class. whatever you set here will be available for all the users by default.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,

  • WebIntelligence report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2)

    Dear experts,
    I'm working on webi report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2). I would like to know your opinions about some points I have noticed.
    A - I need to drill throught a hierarchy which contains several millions of members.
    Is there a possibility in my report drilling down to one member without selecting all members of the hierarchy in the query panel ?
    B - I cannot put a dimension with hierarchy both in the result pane and in the filter pane, although it is possible for any other dimension without hierarchy.
    Is there any special trick to achieve this or is a bug??
    C - I cannot sort variables defined in my bex query, but they don't appear in the window to sort prompts.
    Do you know how to solve this issue ?
    D - I noticed all keys and description of dimensions appear with the same label "key" and "text". SO it is very confusing for the user to understand what key or text means (if a key if the customer key or the company code key).
    Any idea to have a more explicit label for BW characteristics?
    Regards.
    CL.

    Hi,
    I do not have access to a BW system to test this, but i have something on three of your questions...
    A) drilling without getting all the lower members. I would look to query drill, this means a drill action in the report will go to the database to fetch the level (and only for the selected member, a drill down).
    The only thing I'm not sure about is if the BEx hierarchy is seen as drill hierarchy by that option too.
    If you'd ask me it really should.
    C) this is an old problem, but I know it is bugging more people, because the same is true for universe based prompts. They also cannot be 'arranged'. Since the Bex query is the 'universe', ordering that has been set in the 'universe' is the only chance you have.
    Like with the universe you could use prefixes to separate them from the query defined prompts (based on an alphabetic sort of the prompt message). I'd say this is a good one for the idea place...
    D) also an old (very old actually) problem. Some will want to keep the text short and simple. The prefixing will tell which key it is. Some will prefer unique names, so no prefix is needed. The same was true for universe designers. Now since there is no universe, if you do not agree with the 'designer' you're out of luck  no way to change it.
    Hope this helps,
    Marianne

  • Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

    While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
    The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
    In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
    In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
    Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

    How come , if  it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
    you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable  for that Iobj .
    Refer below blog provide details:

  • Performance Issue with VL06O report

    Hi,
    We are having performance issue with VL06O report, when run with forwarding agent. It is taking about an hour with forwarding agent. The issue is with VBPA table and we found one OSS note, but it is for old versions. ours is ECC 5.0. Can anybody know the solution? If you guys need more information, please ask me.
    Thanks,
    Surya

    Sreedhar,
    Thanks for you quick response. Indexes were not created for VBPA table. basis people tested by creating indexes and gave a report that it is taking more time with indexes than regular query optimizer. this is happening in the funtion forward_ag_selection.
    select vbeln lifnr from vbpa
         appending corresponding fields of table lt_select
         where     vbeln in ct_vbeln
         and     posnr eq posnr_initial
         and     parvw eq 'SP'
         and     lifnr in it_spdnr.
    I don't see any issue with this query. I give more info later

  • Variable input values issue with Portal reports in WAD

    Hi Gurus,
    We have issue with our reports which are created in WAD and when executed through CRM portal. We are executing the report with some selection criteria by changing default values, and once we get the out put we use SAVEAS option to save the report to favourites. But  the issue arises when we open the reprot again by clicking OPEN tab next to SAVEAS button. It opens our report, but the selection screen vaues are getting changed to default instead of showing the values which we entered before saving the report.
    ex: we have fiscalyear/period: default value is 001.2009 - 010.2009, but i changed the value to 001.2010 - 010.2010 and saved the out put of the report. when i reopen the report useing open option, it is showing 001.2009 - 010.2009 in input screen.
    Please let me know if some one has come accross this issue, or is it standard SAP behaviour. It is working fine when executed through Query designer. This is not related to personlization of variabl.es.
    Regards,
    Yada

    Hi Hari,
    Thanks for your promp response...but is there any settings to get the variable values with out saving as variant, because its working fine when executing through query designer....

  • Default prompt values in webI report???

    I am using BO XI 3.1 on BW universe, I have a prompt A in the prompt window which has many Lov's but user will freequently use only three values out of it.
    So I want to make those three values to be default for that promp A when ever the report gets refreshed, so that it will be easy for user not to search in the big list for those 3 values.
    Any inputs please.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can make some values as default prompt values by webi report.
    1) Open the webi report.
    2) Edit the query then go to the prompt
    3) Go to the prompt properties checked the chekcbox "Set default values" and type the three values and ok.
    So next time user refresh the report all three values come in the filter  default.They can remove or add more values in the list.but every time all values come in the filter.
    Thanks,
    Amit

  • User issue with a report supply planning area today monthly

    this is a support issue....the user has an issue with a report supply planning area today monthly.  The user is getting wrong values in BW, it sums PLOs and POs under production (config).  for eg:  BW says we are producing 46T while in R/3 we have 4T.

    The issue was related to the heap size being too much and as a result the Class block memory was not getting enough memory. I think we can make a use of -XXCompressedRefs:32 parameter in the Java start up to allow the heap size to increase till 32 Gb.

  • What is the right sdk api to work with webi reports in BOXI Release 4?

    Hello,
    I just read in the omg model for rebean (sdk for working with webi report documents) that all functions to access the report structur and layout are no longer availabe beginning with Release 4.
    Can anyone confirm, that this is the case?
    Are those functions moved to a different SDK component?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bernd
    Dokumentation about rebean _omd
    u2022 The object model shows many funtions , classes in red which means:
    Note: The Classes, Interfaces, and Methods marked in red are no longer functional from the SAP
    BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.0 release onwards.
    u2022 Among those functions are all !! We need to analyze the report layout

    u2022 Classes no longer supported: Cell, PageHeaderFooter

    Thank you for the information srrachna !
    Well, the point with the report engine sdk is a surprise. What is the sense of new functionality when you cannot use it (spoken for the api processing), and in addition when the new functionality eliminate functionality which was available before in the sdk.
    In my view this cut is to hard. The .pdf speaks from deprecated, but the blog and the information in the report engine api speaks a different language. The functionality is not just deprecated but no longer available.
    Hope SAP will address that before relase 4 becomes GA in May 2011.

  • Hierarchy issue with Web Intelligence Report

    Hi All,
    We are facing an issue with OLAP Universe where we are using hierarchy for cost center in reports.
    BEx query shows correct data in RSRT with hierarchy nodes.
    We have built a Universe on top of this BEx Query.
    We are using couple of nodes of cost enter hierarchy in WebI report but if we keep more than one node in WebI query, data comes double (probably because of duplicate rows). Instead if I keep just one of the node in WebI query, WebI report returns correct data.
    Please suggest, why such behavior with OLAP universe and how to resolve this?
    Best Regards,
    Ashish

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I am little confused on how to check SQL generated for OLAP WebI Query.
    But other reports on same universe behave same way and I'll give a try to another universe but I don't expect it to behave in different way. I saw a setting for relational Universes like restriction on duplicate rows but the same is not present in case of OLAP Universe.
    Do you know how WebI behaves with BEx hierarchies?
    There has to be some setting to make it work...
    Best Regards,
    Ashish
