Query SAP BW via BO universe - Dialog user / Communication user

Hi,
Context: XI 3.1 Web Intelligence on top of SAP BW.
Can a communication user be used in the universe connection? or does it need to be a dialog user?
Possibly the following post already gives the answer:
Change BEX query to run in background process instead of dialog?
Terminology used there is slightly different, we just want to be sure.
Thanks!
Raf

Hi,
I just tried it with User Type = Communications data and with User Type = System. Both of them worked fine and I was able to display the queries/infocubes from BW.

  • Query SAP BW via XMLA Webservice and save response to HD

    Hi,
    I´m currently working for an QM Project to create an Overview-page with figures from various BW-Querys. Unfortunatly the the BW-Performance isn´t fast enough to execute a lot of Querys in realtime, so I can´t use the Web App Designer.
    To improve performance I want to execute those querys once a day and save the result sets on hard disk. To get the data out of the BW I want to use the XMLA-Webservice which is already running.
    Is there a simple way or application to send my XMLA to the webservice and save the response on hard disk?

    You can use XMLA web service or the queryview web service to get the data in XML format. The queryview XML service is only available from BW 3.5, see attached documentation.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d8/3bfc3f8fc2c542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    Ther is also an How to document available for XMLA under the BW 3.0B section.
    If you are looking at a report with no navigation you can use the pre-calculation of the web reports with reporting agent which will create a pre-calculated HTML output on the BW server. Everytime you access the web report the pre-calculated HTML output will be displayed and the performance is great as the data is not accessed at runtime.

  • Is Communication user recommended to access Webdynpro ABAP?

    Hi,
    I don´t know if somebody knows if we can recomend the client to use a communication user type for accesing Webdynpros for ABAP, can this cause some licence problems? or communication users can be used by final users without a problem?
    Hope somebody can help!
    Thanx in advanced!
    kind regards,
    Gerardo J

    Hi Gerardo,
    main difference between dialog and communication user is the access via SAPgui. The license still depends on the role of the user not the user type.
    Property \ User Type            Dialog  Communication   System  Service
    Dialog logon (SAP GUI)          X       -               -       X
    Multiple logons                 -       X               X       X
    RFC logon                       X       X               X       X
    Background job execution        X       -               X       X
    Password change                 X       X               -       -
    Logon ticket can be generated   X       X               -       -
    Probably you mean "named user" and "anonymous user". For this Q you always have to ask your SAP sales person (because it depends...)
    Hope this helps a little bit.
    Best regards, Uwe

  • SAP Press book on Universal Worklist

    Hi all,
    I have just started writing a book for SAP Press on the Universal Worklist, to pass along some of what I have learned when working with the portal these past 5 years or so (anyone else remember EP 4.5?)
    I've put up a blog entry at
    <a href="http://www.fortybeans.com/">http://www.fortybeans.com/</a> and if you click the <a href="http://fortybeans.wishconsultants.co.uk/item/2007/2/6/universal-worklist-book-for-sap-press">Read more</a> link you can see the proposed chapters and sections I will be writing.
    I'd really appreciate any feedback any of you can give me - I want to make this the best possible book of its kind, and the only way to do that is to find out what people want from the book and then to give it to them. Maybe this could be the first book from SAP Press with "Powered by SDN" on the cover?
    Let me know what you think,
    Darren

    First off....EP4.5?....yep...when it was a Top Tier product. I was working on Workplace 3.0 (bootcamp) at the time....one week later, SAP and Top Tier announce the joint formation of the company "SAP Enterprise Portals" with their flagship product EP 5.0. Ahhh those were the days. I really want to meet the person who came up with calling it "portal-S" because I spent countless time explaining why the product was "Enterprise Portal" and not "Enterprise Portals". That was only compounded once SAP bought Top Tier outright, brought EP5.0 back into SAP proper and folded the "SAP Enterprise Portals" company. Ugg....anyways...
    The book sounds great. I too have fought in the trenches and wrestled with the UWL. It is great when it is used strictly as intended and with the limitations it might have. Past that....let the fun begin!
    I read your rough outline. Some chapters/content I would really like to see....
    - some basic coverage on Workflow (what it is, how it works, etc).
    - some explaination of "webflow", how it got started and where it is today
    - how workflow correlates to what the user sees in the UWL
    - limitations of the UWL based on support package level ( this is a big one!!! trying to use attachments now...nope...can't until the next SP level unless we backport our own custom webdynpro...that's not fun to find out 2 months in! haha)
    - really good examples of customizing items to launch one way in the portal versus another way within the backend inbox (ie. uwl xml config vs. config in the backend) and show ways to launch various SAP apps (dialog in SAP GUI, ITS service, webdynpro, etc). from UWL items.
    - same as above but show how to launch NON-SAP apps (we have a situation now where we have a UWL item that launches a Flex application and passes an order number to it)
    - similar to the above two, what's possible to pass across from the UWL to whatever through the portal (like UWL to an iView and on to the underlying application)...figuring out how "DynamicParameters" works is new to lots of people who might not have web dev background and/or understand the construction/structure of a URL query string
    - some information along the lines of "UWL launched an item/action out to some app, but how does the workflow status get updated to that fact?" ie. what makes the round trip complete?
    - a really good BIG, real world example showing multi-system (CRM-to-ECC-to-APO-to-SRM-to- etc) workflow and how the UWL makes it all much easier and fluid (in theory...haha)
    That's just a few off the top of my head that seem to always be sooo much fun with the UWL.
    Good luck on the book! Looking forward to it already!

  • Deletion of QUery view via Query Designer or via Web interface

    Hi,
    We have deployed SAP BI 7 with Web access only for user.
    Only some Key users are allowed to use Query Designer.
    In fact, all users can create view through Web analyzer. However, they have no way to delete these views.
    It appears that view deletion is only available through Bex Analyzer...
    Does anybody know a way to delete view from Web analyzer or at least through query designer ?
    Thanks for your answers,
    Regards

  • SAP BW and BO Universe on HANA

    Hi Experts,
    I'm trying to teach myself SAP HANA and want to clarify few questions I have with what I have studied so far :
    1) Can one HANA unit/Appliance be used as a data source for both BW and BO Universe where the data is coming from a number of SAP and non SAP source systems ?
    2) Do we yet have the ability to use non SAP reporting tools on HANA ?
    and the next question has confused me the most
    3) difference between HANA as a Data Source for BW and BW as a source system for HANA ?
    Any help on this will be really appreciated .
    Thanks
    Gaurav

    Hi Mohammed,
    SSO is not compulsory in a set up where SAP BW is backend and reporting front end is SAP BO. For eg:- in a company where very few business users alone are using BO reports, we can create enterprise users and define our security model in SAP BO.
    But normally when you have common users in SAP BW and SAP BO who access particular data mart data alone, in your case different regional managers, implementing SSO would make security model easier. When a particular manager is having access only to particular regional or application datamart, you can import same roles and users to SAP BO and assign the same to the user so that he will be restricted with the data from only assigned datamart.
    In first case where you create separate users in BO, you will have to define your separate security model in SAP BO and assign the same to users. SSO will make your data security model easier and it will be sync with SAP BW model. You have the option to use both models simultaneously in your set up, provided you should have security model defined for the same.
    Refer below link for more details on implementing SSO.

  • How do I make memo fields avalible via a Universe?

    How do I make memo fields avalible via a Universe? I have several memo fields in the table I want to publish via a universe except each time I build the universe and export it, all the fields are avalible except the memo fields.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Yes I tried it manually and it still does not give me the memo field.
    I went into the designer, created a derived table with a simple query
    select potran.purno, potran.intmemo, potran.item
    from potran
    Then checked the limit of long text and unchecked that so there is now no limit. Then when I move the derived table to the left pane in the designer, I only see the two fields, purno and item. The memo field is missing.
    Thanks

    Unfortuantely, the Current User registry key cannot be updated via SMS. From what I've seen& tested  the registry settings can be pushed via a login GPO or login script, but due to our environment including contactors and consultants I still cannot get a high coverage rate.
    If i do find a magic bullet - I'll report it here.
    In the meantime, perhaps a SAP developer would bring this capability to the Installation Server - it allows us to tune & tweak the packages already.    <hint hint> - Xmas is coming!
