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.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Please see below answers to your question:
When you say that you are not able to connect from Word Live office to server - in this are you able to see Live Office tab in word document?
Yes, I can see the Live Office tab. When I try to connect to the server to insert a crystal report I get the message "constructor exception (error: WSE 99999) Unknown error "-1""
Did the installation process was done properly?
As far as I am aware, yes.
Which version of Live office you are using? because it will help to proceed further.
LIVE OFFICE XI 3.1 (version 12.1.0.882)
Where exactly you are not getting the Crystal Reports Options? Are you facing any error message?If Yes then what is the error message.
Please see above
Are you able to login to server successfully?
I can in Excel in Live office but not in Word. As per the first message, I cannot see an option in Crystal to publish a crystal report. Do you know how I can do this? As I understand I need to publish it to the server and then Live Office will be able to see it.

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.

MATMAS01 IDOC not reaching to SAP XI via report program.

Dear Experts,
WE are facing small challenge.
I searched on SDN on scenarios: IDOC not reaching to SAP XI. But could not find exact solution t oour scenario.
Problem:
MATMAS01 IDOC is not reaching to SAP XI via report program and is in status of 03 on SAP system. And there are not entries under SM58.
Under SAP XI system IDOC entry is not reflecting under IDX5 transaction, I tried to delete meta data of MATMAS01 thru IDX1 and uploaded again but still IDOC is not reaching to SAP XI.
The strange is that MATMS01 IDOC is reaching to XI via WE19 test tool. So PORT and RFC destination settings betweeen R3 and XI is also correct.
What could be the wrong ?
Thanks
Divyesh

When sending Idoc from R/3,
Settings at R/3
create one port at WE21,
Create Partner Profile for Outbound Message type in WE20.
settings at XI
Create one port in IDX1
Import Matadata in IDX2.
Create complete scenario in ESR for Idoc sender, also import IDoc in Imported Objects.
Check these settings & send test idoc using WE19.

SAP Query (SQ01) - create and save queryies

Hi Expert;
We wanted to implement SAP query reporting (SQ01) tool, and already developed custom HR infoset and user groups and transported to QAS. We experienced the problem that we can not directly "save" any queries in SQ01. We pretty much have the client opened up and set at "Changes without automatic recording". But keep getting a "transport object create" dialog upon "save" query. But in Adhoc (PQAH), we don't encounter same problem. We wanted our users be able to create and save any queries directly without creating any local objects. Is there another setting that needs to be set?
Thanks for any information that you can provide. Points will be awarded.
Helen

Hello Helen,
in SQ01 you can save queries like in HR Ad Hoc Query (or Infoset query as it is called outside HR).
However this is only possible in the "Standard Area" not in the "Global Area". However as Ad Hoc Query is based on the SQ0x basics it only hides this effect.
If you are doing HR specifics you should consider the documetnation on the special HR switches:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01200252310000076208&
In general if you are new to the topic you should consider the courses BC407 for Query Basics and HR580 for reporting in HR.
Also to get a feeling for the different types of reporting with the InfoSet Query you can look at the following documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/a8/2e7237a323427ee10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm

SAP BO Report Scheduling and Save as report using Java SDK

Hi All,
We have a java product which is integrated with SAP BO using Java SDK and we have certain java screen through which we select report prompt values and webi report gets run.
Now we want to give a functionality to save report to BO repository.
When user select certain check box from java screen a separate copy of the webi report should get saved under default folder on BO repository.
Also, we want user to choose the scheduling option from java screen only (and not the one which we use from BI Launchpad) due to certain access restriction. User does not have access to BI Launchpad. Only he can run report by selecting values through Java screen.
If i need to create a separate screen for scheduling as well as saving webi report then also i am ok with it.
P.S. i guess we need to work on Java SDK level. But could somebody please help me with the right direction?
Let me know in case requirement is not clear.

Hi Ketan,
As you are on version BI 4.0 SP5 and would be migrating to BI 4.1, the best SDKs to use would be the Restful Webservices SDKs.
You have the options to schedule a webi report with prompts as well as the save feature which you require.
Please refer to the webi restful guides avialble at
For BI 4.0 SP5
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp5_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf
For BI 4.1 SP4

Refer to the below blog to understand the Restfull Webservices SDKs.

SAP Query-for Reporting   how to create and use it

Hi SAP Gurus,
i need your help. in my project, client is asking to create queries to generate reports, i am not familiar with queries, so would appreciate it if any one can guide me and tell me the procedure for writing and creating queries soon.
also if you have any study material on steps on How to write and create queries for PP module
thank you very much

Hi
Please refer below document
http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_ABAP_Queries_Introduction.asp
Also refer below
How to Create Infoset Query (SAP Query)
Steps on how to proceed to create a Query:
ADHOC QUERY
A query can be created to extract information from master records i.e Infotypes. For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
Proceedure :
Decide on the various Infotypes we want to make the query. Decide on the area where we want to query i.e Global area or Standard area. Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
Menu : HR PM Admn - Information System - Adhoc Query
Select area standard and select the user group already created
Creation of new query :
TC SQ03 - Select Environment Select Standard Area - Enter -- If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and exit after saving
TC SQ02 - Enter name of the Infoset Create enter name of Infoset - Data source -- > Table join by basis table give name of table e.g pa0000 - Enter - Click on insert table if we want to include more tables give name of table one by one and after finishing, place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships - check - and go back - field groups - include all table fields - click on generate button   - go out
TC SQ03 - Select user group -   eg. Payroll
Infoset - Enter name of newly created Infoset
Assign users and Infosets - Assign infosets - put tick on payroll - save and go back
TC PAAH - Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
Save the query by giving the same name as infoset for easyness..
For executing a query which is already created
1. Go to SQ01 transaction
2. Go to Environment menu->query areas->std areas
3. Then choose the user group where the query is created
4. It will display all the queries created for the group.choose the query you want to executeand click execute.
5. will take to the initial screen
6. Enter the required parameters and execute

NW Business Client and accessing SAP services via web pages

Hi all,
We currently use Business Connector to access our SAP environment via web pages. We looked at NW eSOA but decided against implementing it. Does Business Client offer anything that helps access SAP apps and data from a custom web site better the Business Connector?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom
I am assuming you are using SAP Business Connector in your landscape to connect to back end SAP systems from your web applications. Your question now is that if business client can let you access SAP data for your web pages instead of the business connector. Point to not here is that Business client, as the name implies, is just a client with single point of access for SAP screens. That means, you can access traditional SAP transactions, WebDynpro screens, BSP pages, Portal screens etc in one single client. In very raw terms, Business client acts (or replaces) as your browser. It is not going to provide you any out of the box integration with backend system rather just act as a window. You options at this point are
1) Use your existing webpages but instead of getting data from the backend system through business connector, get the data using webservices.
2) Use PI as middleware tool and get the data from backend SAP system
3) Stay were you are but deal with high cost of ownership.
Thanks

How to prevent end user to create a Query View and save back to BW Server?

Dear All :
Do Someone know that how to setup authorization for Bex Query View Creation? We want to prevent end user to create a Query View to save back to BW Server his favorite folder. when our user run Bex Query, he can base on this query and use Bex Analyzer's save function to save a Query View and save into his favorite folder.
My question is :
1. Can we set up a Authorization to prevent end user to save Bex Query View?
2. Or can I remove Save function from Bex Analyzer to prevent end user use save function, But Developer should not to be prevent .
Thanks for all of your kindly response.
Best Regard
Lawrence Kuo

Hi.
Yes, you can do it like you outline in your point 1):
You need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP for this. This object let's you control what parts/components of a query the user can do stuff to. So, in your case, you need to have a role for the users, where you do not grant create-access to the component QVW, and then you need another role for developers, where you grant full access or whatever you need for your developers.
See [this post|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a6c54319-0e01-0010-20a4-fb81ad32f330?QuickLink=events&overridelayout=true&5003637661135] and the [SAP Help entry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/80/1a6859e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm].
You will also need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If you already have a productive system with users doing reporting, both objects will be maintained in one of the roles already.
You also want to consider using the object S_RS_PARAM to allow users to create variants for the variabel screen.
Good luck.

IPhone App via Adobe AIR and Webservice

Hi Forum,
I am trying to deploy a iPhone App developed with ADOBE AIR. This gets data from SAP via a webservice. When I test it on the iphone simulator provided by Flash Builder it works fine. But when I try to run it on the iPhone, it just does not get any data. It does not ask for the user credentials also. I was wondering if any one has tried this route and succeeded ?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
rgds,
Rajvish

Hello,
Just try to open the any sample sap webpage sitting on SAP server ,where the webservice is residing on the iphone browser,if
the webpage is opening,then there is problem in the application or else,your SAP server is not exposed on internet,so the webservice is not called.

Upload and save an Excel file from a local machine to SAP

I am looking for a transaction which allows me to upload an Excel file from a local machine to SAP and save this file (the users should be able to edit the file in SAP afterwards).
Then I would like to open and read the data from the file with the help of a function module which works as a background job.
Unfortunately, I cannot use the application server because our users do not have the authorization to save files on it. Besides, the application server is not able to process Excel files.
Thank you in advance.
Stephan Klumpp

Hi Stephan,
You can do this using OLE technology. Bu you will have performance issues.
Can you check the below demo programs? It has similar functionality. I am able to create excel sheet from sap and also able to save the data in the sap.
