Publication: Crysatl Reports and WebI

Hi Guys,
I've read in some document that Crystal Reports is better in terms of high volume distribution as compared to WebI.
Why is thi so?
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Liu,
You could take a backup of all your reports and universes in a BIAR file through Import Wizard tool. In Source, select your BOE XI R2 system and destination as BIAR file >> select the componenets that you want to take a backup of and import it.

Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

Hi,
I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
Rgds..

Hi,
Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.
Best regards,

Unable to open reports and web analysis document in workspace

After installing reports and analysis 9.3.1, when I am trying to preview a test report on web or as a pdf preview I am getting these kind of errors.
<BR><BR>
Required application module analyzer.reportview is not configured. Please contact your administrator.

Similarly when I try to open as pdf preview I am getting the same error.<BR>
Kindly advice.

Try changing the idle connection timeout on your Web Intelligence Processing Server to 60 minutes (from the CMC).
If this doesn't work, please add a trace to the Web Intelligence Processing Server (add a -trace to the command line parameters of the server). and post the log for the relevant time period.

Query designer report and Web Templates

Dear All,
I have a very basic/stup doubt.
Are reports made through Bex Query Designer and Web Templates the same?
Actually there is a following requirement:-
"Navigate from a BW Web template to a PCUI application". I have a document related to it but it gives me step on how can i modify my web templates to achieve this functionality. But all my reports are made through query designer and it available to user through Web Dynpro portal.
So i just wanted to know is Web Template and Reports made through query designer the same? So that i can implement the changes in my report.
Thanks.

Hi Anup,
by using web templates we can use N number of data providers (Queries) for a single analysis view with various available options. - N number of Queries can be assigned to Web template to create a web report
but by using the Query designer ,you can create a single report which may not provide sufficient information to the client and the number of features are less compared to web template.
as you mentioned that you are using the web dynpro.
i think the web dynpro requires the web reports as an iview and ths iview can be created by using the Query designer and or web app designer.
so the most clear view can be given to client using the WAD reports

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Crystal reports and web services

Do crystal report and xcelcius need webservices?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.
Hope that helps,

Crystal Reports and Web applications.. what is the future?

Hello,
I currently create reports in Crystal 11 R2 and display them within my intranet application using an SDK and asp calls.
I would like to know what the future holds for this method... what upgrade path do I have?
Certainly I intend to keep things the way they are as we have a large number of reports but I would like to know what options I will have to investigate\be aware of for the future?
I realise my question is a bit open ended...
What does SAP\Business Objects\Crystal decsions advocate in this regard... what is their prefered methond of providing reporting for web type applications?
PS. I am not interested in portals etc. The application provides paramters and DSN switching at run time within the application.
Cheers,

Hi Scott,
Moved to .NET SDK forum. Your next move is to ASP.NET and to CR Assemblies through RAS ( Report Application Server ). It is the replacement for the RDC you currently use.
Lots of samples on how to through our WIKI:

Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.

Financial reportin,Interactive reporting and web analysis

Hi,
Could anyone help me in what kind of reports exactly generates by the above 3 tools.How we will generate reports using financial reporting.i mean to say what process we will follow .
In a financial domain project , what we will do exactly with the above three tools.
I am quite interested to know as much info as i can on these 3 tools.
replies will be highly appreciated.

This is quite a big subject and you need to do more investigation, but as a starter for ten (these are high level views only)
Financial Reporting - is used to create high quality, high format reports - ideal for finance based use
Web Analysis - is used as a more interactive visual tool, with emphasis on exceptions/graphs and drilling etc
Interactive reporting - is one of the old Brio tools and is more of a BI reporting tool
There is a Query and Reporting forum at Hyperion Query and Reporting that might be useful to post on.
Hope this helps.

Universe, Crystal Report and WebI

hi There
i have a WebI report always fails due to transaction error even i didnot use "limit execution time" ( i didnot check that box, so i guess no limits on this option), then i create a CR report with same universe, i have no issue to get this report, it seems WebI takes more time to extract the data
can some one advise how i can fix this issue? i need WebI because it gives me multiple tab in an excel sheet
thanks

okay, thanks for clarifying. We too suffer from "unwanted timeouts", e.g. we can run a report from a smaller, less populated table and the report finishes fine, however, running a report from a larger table, and if the run takes more than 2 minutes, we get a message that the server has disconnected and the report does not appear. If we wait a while, like about three or four minutes and try again, we may get the report. What is happening is that there is type of web proxy server in the network that waits for two minutes and if the web server does not get a response from the database server, then the proxy server intervenes and severs the connection. Meanwhile, the database server continues the data run. If we wait a few more minutes manually, and "break out" from the Webi session and re-navigate the folders, and run the report again, it will work. What happens is that the database server finishes the run and caches the information. If we can catch the database server before new cache appears, then the database server again forks the data over to the web server, and the Web Intelligence server, now having the data, produces the report as if there was no hard work involved. I have used BusinessObjects for nearly three years now working under these conditions and no one in the network shop will confess which proxy server is doing the bad work and how to extend the time to at least five minutes versus two. We have tried all concievable settings on the Business Objects servers but to no avail, the two minute timeout (we call it the two-minute drill) persists.
Thanks,
John

Can not display BI report in Web ui

I created reporting profile with both bi and interactive reporting active and assigned to the business role functional profile
I gave the BI connection client in the report that I wanted. When I select the report in webu ui, it's taking me to a sign on pad. I assume this for BI sign on pad and When i enter sign on, it's not taking me any where.
This just a standard report in CRM My top 5 quotations. All necessary steps in basic bi connection, basic sales analytics are done too
How does the the connection between BI and crm works?
Please advise

Hi Experts,
We are using Webiu 2007 with BI 7.
We linked our sandbox to RWT system to test the report output. In my CRS, I have source system RWT defined and the same way in BI also we have assigned CRS to link these systems together. It is my understanding that when we select the report, we are just calling the from BI into CRM. I have done the following steps in CRM
1) Created reporting profile in CRM analytics as both BI and CRM interactive reporting activated
2) Assigned this reporting profile to business role
3) I selected My-Top-5 quotation report and gave the BI system in display bi reports
4) I can see the report on webui.
Problem: When I selected the report, a logon pad appears and I enter RWT user id and password, it's doing nothing. But, I have another user who is logging in for the first time got an error "Error loading template "OTPLB_OCRM_QUTO_Q0001_1 notification number BRAIN276". When the same new user tried to login second or third time, it's not showing the error and nothing is happening when we enter userid and pass word. But, we can logon to GUI RWT.
We tried to pull a query view report and web template reports see if we can display data. The BI team gave me couple of info objects keys.
1) I created the report with object key and type as one for 3.x template and one for 3.x query view
2) Created logical links for these two reports and selected these two reports in business role. Now the reports are showing in webui
3) When I select any of these, it taking to a blank screen without any logon screen.
BW team says that these reports are running with data in their system.
Can someone please help?
