Procedure to Publish BI Web Reports in Portal Roles

Hi,
I've created close to 20 Web Reports and need to make those available for Users through Portal. There are different sets of Users, such that one set can access only half, rest can access remaining. I know this can be achieved by creating separate Reporting User Roles, but need help with below points:
1. Our basis team are not familiar with BI7 Role maintenance, thus would anyone share the Reporting User Roles design (i.e. which authorization objects to assign).
2. When I open a Web Template in WAD, the menu Publish -> "in Role" is disabled. Should this be enabled to publish a web report in role or is there any other way?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Publishing WEBI report in Portal

Hi
I am trying to publish a WEBI report in our portal.
I initially tried using the BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit - IView Template, but have since been told via my OSS call that is the incorrect template to use, as that is for Crystal Reports only. I am supposed to use the URL iview.
URL iView is reasonably easy to configure, so I enter the URL and parameter for reportID.
Problem is that the iview only displays a small window in the top left area of the iview, and inside that small window the WEBI report is then rendered, making it unusable. I can confirm that the correct report is being rendered, as my variable prompts are appearing.
The report works from InfoViewApp or CMC.
The URL uses the openDocument.jsp page -
http://<FQDN>:<PORT>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp
If I look at the URL generated when viewing the report from InfoViewApp / CMC, then it uses something called viewDocument.jsp instead. If I change the url in the iview to
http://<FQDN>/AnalyticalReporting/viewers/cdz_adv/viewDocument.jsp
then it works, but only if I have signed into the BOE server somewhere else first.
I have continued my OSS call, to see if this can be used, but still waiting on their response.
I am new to the project, and apparently this functionality used to work, prior to upgrading to SP3 for BO XI 3.1
Anyone with any ideas on how to get this content displaying in the full size window?
Cheers,
Andrew

Seems the issue has been resolved, and possibly a caching problem all along.
I had a number of suggestions from OSS, which didn't seem to work, but then I decided to add the iview to a page, and add that page to a role. When I did that, it worked, and when I then ran the initial iview on it's own, it worked as well.
So for now I ensure the iview is FULL PAGE, and in the InfoViewApp settings I make sure it opens in it's own window .. I now have a nice looking report opening in EP.
The Integration Kit template still doesn't work, but I am reasonably happy to use the URL iview for now, other than worrying about to transport these iviews from DEV to PROD, as the URL will change, but that will be a different topic.
Cheers,
Andrew

Webi report publication with org unit personalization mapping

Hi everyone,
I have an HR Webi report whose source is a Bex query and is scheduled (published) weekly. The report is meant for managers so in the dynamic recipient report (another webi report) I have manager's name, email and org unit. Right now the bex query does not restrict by organizational unit, the filtering by unit is done in webi through the 0employee's org unit attribute. This works, each manager only sees data of her own employees.
However, managers would like to see not only their direct people (employees belonging to her own org unit) but also submanagers, ie, managers of subordinate org units. I tried filtering through the org unit of 0ORGUNIT, not the employee's o.unit attribute, but that doesn't work. The same manager shows up multiple times in the report.
Has anyone managed to publish a webi report (or Crystal if that's possible) that shows the chief hat's subhierarchy?
thanks

Hi Graham,
The publication should work in the same way for a user or a group.
Can you please elaborate on u201Cassigning a user to the groupu201D, I believe this is probably where you go wrong.
Please test same workflow I suggested yesterady, but instead of user, use the group:
1. create the profile
2. add the group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the group for that profile
4. add the group to the publication as Recipient
Does it work or not? If so, then do as follow for the user and group:
1. create the profile
2. Add user and group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the user and group for that profile
4. add the user and group to the publication as Recipient
Please note that in the above steps, you donu2019t have to assign the user to the group.

Jeff

Need Information on "Web Reporting in Portal"

Hi Experts,
I want to gain more knowledge on the reporting side. Is there any reporting strategy that talks about Portal, web reporting and the Business Explorer. What is the best practice for reporting in NW 04's in most corporations? Is there any case studies? If someone can provide me with that info. will be a great help for me. Forum points are guranteed. Thanks
Padma K

Hi Padma,
Most of the Organizations are moving towards web reports due to the following advantages:
1. The web query can be used without the GUI installed on the system. For Bex you need the SAP GUI installed.
2. As per SAP the web queries run faster than the bex query.
3. Bex uses excel which has a limitation of 65,536 rows where as your web query does not have that limitation.
4. The web query can be accessed from any browsing cafe also which is not the case with Bex Query.
Another important point is that you get EP(enterprise portal) by default installed with BI 7.0(ABAP+Java stack). So EP is used for publishing the web reports. The trend and the recommendation from SAP is to use EP for BI web reports. In most of the cases you would have a separate EP consultant apart from a BI consultant. The web report created by the BW consultant is published as an iview by an EP consultant.
BW with EP - Check these docs:

SAP BI Mobile Publishing Webi report issue

Hi All,
We want to use the BI Mobile App on IPad for Webi reports. The app is successfully implemented on the IPad, connection to BO server is done, categories are visible. But no report.
In Webi I tried to publish my report to the respective 'mobile' category, but the the 'Publish to' is missing in the menu.
Save as is possible, but it has no effect.
I checked the CMC and I have full authorisation for publishing (and anything else).
What could be the reason that the 'Publish to' menu is not visible? Is this the reason why I do not see my Webi report in the Bi Mobile app?
I would appreciate any kind of help.
Danya

HI Danya,
You have already done the configuration it seems.
Mobile Category has been created.
Can you go to your report, right click, categories
add it to Mobile categories
check on your ipad
Also, which version of BI and SAP BI app for mobile are you using?
Cn you elaborate on the publish to menu, with a screenshot may be

Problem running report with BI Publisher and Web Service

Hello,
I actually try to run a Bi Publisher report via the Web Service.
I use the following documents:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/bip_webservice_101331.htm
- "How to integrate Oracle BI Publisher via Web Services in Oracke Forms"
Everything works fine. But when I try to copy it on local computer the file is 0 length. I use the "getReportBytes" method.
Here is the code I tried with:
String userName = “Administrator”;
String passWord = “Administrator”;
System.out.println(”calling ” + myPort.getEndpoint());
System.out.println(myPort.validateLogin(userName,passWord));
ReportRequest repReq = new ReportRequest();
ReportResponse repRes = new ReportResponse();
repReq.setAttributeFormat(”pdf”);
repReq.setAttributeLocale(”en-US”);
repReq.setAttributeTemplate(”World Sales”);
repReq.setReportAbsolutePath(”/Sales Manager/World Sales/World Sales.xdo”);
repRes = myPort.runReport(repReq,userName,passWord);
System.out.println(repRes.getReportContentType());
byte[] binaryBytes = repRes.getReportBytes();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(”D:
out.pdf”);
out.write(binaryBytes);
out.close();
System.out.println(”Success for Run Report”);
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume that you use 10.1.3.4. If not, my hint is not relevant for you ....
There's a new parameter in the web service API to set the Chunk-Size. Unfortunaltely is the default value not so, that the behaviour is like in older releases (no chunk-size ... the whole document at once). If you set the chunk size to -1, you should get your document. So try to add
repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);

WebI reports in Enterprise Portal - Are they static??

Hi All,
We currently have Bex reports on our enterprise Portal. Users can actually go to the portal and view the reports and go to edit mode and drag and drop objects and change the view the way they like and save it as a new view.
We are planning to shift from Bex Reporting to business Objects. If I create an iview for WebI report and have the WebI report on the Portal, can we do the same. Can we still edit the Report and save a different report of it or is it more like a static page with just the data.
We need to give atleast 100 users the ability to get to these queries and make changes to them as they like and save their own views.
Also what is Knowledge Management? Does that give us the ability to create webI reports in enterprise Portal. Please calrify..
Thank you,
Aparna

Hi
you can edit a report which is visible over a URL iView and save it in the BOBJ repository under a different name (assuming your user has been assigned the appropriate auhtorizations in the bobj repository). The problem is that the iView will always invoke the original report.
I would recommend using KMC. It provides you with the ability to view and create WebI reports from within the EP. Another option is to add a URL iView, hich starts the InfoView (simplified: BOBJ Portal) from within the portal. But the look and feel over the KMC integration is more EP complient.
Take a look at the Installation and Administration Guide for the BOBJ XI Integration for SAP solutions.

Publishing web reports in PortaL

How you will see web report to portals?How you will publish web report in portals?
Sridhar
Edited by: sridhar k on Oct 23, 2009 1:33 PM

Hi,
There should be some Portal team, or you might be having the rights to publish the webtemplates (Queries) to roles.
After this, there will be a role upload logging in to the portal in which you access web reports.
Once after your role upload process is successful, your reports will be successfully published to Portal and you could be able to run the reports from portal.
There should be some book mark (link) to the portal, which needs your username, pwd to login. If there is a portal team, which maintains the Portal, Please get in touch with them to get the Link of the Portal, and request them to assign you roles, so that you can publish the desired reports to role, Normally done from WAD, Opening the report to publish. There after do the role upload, by logging in to the desired portal with your Username and Password.
Thanks,
MD

Analysis Authorization in BO 4.0 Webi report

Hi All,
I am using BO 4.0 and creating connection from Information Design tool to a BW query using BICS client. This connection is then published to CMC.
We are using SAP authentication and importing the roles from BW system. We have added profiles to this role and these profiles have Analysis Authorization set on Company Code. So one user can access data to one company code and vice versa. Now this works well in Bex Analyzer, but if I try to create a report in Webi, the analysis authorization fails. I went through the forum before posting this question and I found that is in 3.1 version and in most cases using SSO in universe connection solved the problem.
However in 4.0 I am using BICS client and followed the same processes to create a connection but for some reason it doesn't work ? Is this suppose to work differently in 4.0 ?
I have tried:
1. To create connection in Information Design tool using SSO, selecting user ID and password. It doesn't work.
2. Checked the Bex query and it already has Company code as a Characteristic restrictions (I have made it a mandatory variable).
3. Publish the connection to CMC with my Enterprise and SAP ID and in both cases it doesn't work.
Please let me know if anyone encountered a similar issue and what is the best method to resolve this.
(BO 4.0 no service pack or fix pack installed on the system yet)
Thanks - Appreciate your help !
Prasad Rasam

Ingo,
1. To create connection in Information Design tool using SSO, selecting user ID and password. It doesn't work.
>> Correct you need to setup you OLAP Connection with SSO.
>>> What I meant was I created the connections using both the methods, Using SSO it allows me to create a connection. The ID which I am using to create a connection has Admin access to BOBJ system. When I login as a regular user to create a Webi report and select this new connection, it throws an error message 'The DSL Service returned an error: com.businessobjects.dsl.services.workspace.impl.QueryViewAnalyzer$CannotGetCubeFromConnectionException: Cannot get the cube from the connection'
Using the other method to create a connection with User ID and password, I can create a connection and with the normal user login I can connect to the BW query but Analysis Authorization doesn't work.
Ingo : Could you be more specific what you mean here with the different users ? When you say "regular" user are you referring to an SAP credentials or SAP BusinessObjects Enteprrise credentials ?
2. Checked the Bex query and it already has Company code as a Characteristic restrictions (I have made it a mandatory variable).
>> The variable in the BEx query needs to be an authorization variable.
>>> This has already been set as Authorization variable. There is still a question here. If I select the variable as Authorization variable, I cannot set the other parameters in the query properties such as Mandatory variable (as this is greyed out).
Ingo : What other parameters would you like to configure ? Could you perhaps describe the scenario with more details ?

Currency Conversion in WebI Report

Hi All:
Need your help in currency conversions using WebI Report.
Current Scenario:
    Currency conversions are currently achieved at BEx Query Designer level where target currency is determined through a Selection Variable.
Proposed Solution:
   As per the Business proposal, BW will be publishing the data to Terradata; a universe will be built on Terradata and a WebI report will be based on this universe.
Question:
   How can this type of currency translation be achieved in WebI Based Report?

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

Hi Sarah,
If I understand you correctly,
Case1:
this is my url(http://itctest01:8020/sap/bw/bex?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X&REQUEST_NO=1&dummy=#variables).
You want me to paste this url in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Is it sufficient if I do this on my machine or I have to copy this url in other users.
Case2:
this url will be saved in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
in my machine, I need copy this url and send them to all users??
I searched for this, I don't find this url in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.
Is this url stored in a different format in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc?
Thanks Sarah!!
