Reg:Webi 3.1 reporting on OLAP cube

Hallo.
I've created 2  universe  in WebI 3.1 on BW OLAP cube  end on Bex Query .
@funkctions,  aggregate Navigation  is  not availible nowhere . Mergin Demension is not  availible too .
Is that normal in WebI 3.1 on BW OLAP cube  end on Bex Query ?
Thank you .

HI Vladimir,
When you create universe on a Bex query or an OLAP cube you will have very limited options or features available in the universe designer.The @functions , aggregate navigation and merge dimensions features will not be available and you will be more dependent on the BW side as you are not free to use the functions and features which are otherwise available with oracle or sql backend.

Neeraj

  • Create report from olap .cub file problem

    hello,
    i am using crystal reports 2008. i tried to create a report based off of the sample sales reports.cub file using the olap cube report wizard.
    when i moved the measures dimension to the slice list on the slice/page screen and tried to create a parameter field, i got this message "the table measure could not be found'.
    i do not understand how that table could not be found when it is in the .cub file.
    i'm hoping that someone can tell me because without getting past this, i can't create the olap report.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thank you

  • Sharepoint 2013 Reporting Services & OLAP Cubes for Data Modeling.

    I've been using PowerPivot & PowerView in Excel 2013 Pro for some time now so am now eager to get set up with Sharepoint 2013 Reporting Services.
    Before set up Reporting Services  I have just one question to resolve.
    What are the benefits/differences of using a normal flat table set up, compared to an OLAP cube?
    Should I base my Data Model on an OLAP Cube or just Connect to tables in my SQL 2012 database?
    I realize that OLAP Cubes aggregate data making it faster to return results, but am unclear if this is needed with Data Modeling for Sharepoint 2013.
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    So yes, PV is an in-memory cube. When data is loaded from the data source, it's cached in memory, and stored (compressed) in the Excel file. (also, same concept for SSAS Tabular mode... loads from source, cached in mem, but also stored (compressed) in data
    files, in the event that the server reboots, or something similar).
    As far as performance, tabular uses memory, but has a shorter load process (no ETL, no cube processing)... OLAP/MDX uses less memory, by requiring ETL and cube processing... technically tabular uses column compression, so the memory consumption will be based
    on the type of data (numeric data is GREAT, text not as much)... but the decision to use OLAP (MDX)/TAB (DAX) is just dependent on the type of load and your needs... both platforms CAN do realtime queries (ROLAP in multidimensional, or DirectQuery for tabular),
    or can use their processed/in-memory cache (MOLAP in multidimensional, xVelocity for tabular) to process queries.
    if you have a cube, there's no need to reinvent the wheel (especially since there's no way to convert/import the BIDS/SSDT project from MDX to DAX). If you have SSAS 2012 SP1 CU4 or later, you can connect PV (from Excel OR from within SP) directly to the
    MDX cube.
    Generally, the benefit of PP is for the power users who can build models quickly and easily (without needing to talk to the BI dept)... SharePoint lets those people share the reports with a team... if it's worthy of including in an enterprise warehouse,
    it gets handed off to the BI folks who vet the process and calculations... but by that time, the business has received value from the self-service (Excel) and team (SharePoint) analytics... and the BI team has less effort since the PP model includes data sources
    and calculations - aside from verifying the sources and calculations, BI can just port the effort into the existing enterprise ETL / warehouse / cubes / reports... shorter dev cycle.
    I'll be speaking on this very topic (done so several times already) this weekend in Chicago at SharePoint Saturday!

  • I need  Web based Dynamic Reporting tools

    Hi,
    I need a Web based Dynamic Reporting tool.
    I have to user oracle products and this reporting tools must support OLAP and Data Warehousing.
    thanks,

    Hi Shima,
    Let me quote from Oracle Reports website:
    "Oracle Reports is Oracle's award-winning, high-fidelity enterprise reporting tool. It enables businesses to give immediate access to information to all levels within and outside of the organization in an unrivaled scalable and secure environment. Oracle Reports consists of Oracle Reports Developer (a component of the Oracle Developer Suite) and OracleAS Reports Services (a component of the Oracle Application Server)."
    Since you need a web-based reporting tool, this is what is available with Oracle Reports:- you cannot design reports on the web, but you can use Oracle Reports Developer to design high quality reports that are suitable for viewing on the web.
    Oracle Reports support OLAP as a data source.
    From your requirements, it seems that it might be worthwhile for you to check out Oracle Discoverer which is again a powerful reporting and analysis tool. Oracle Discoverer is more suitable for ad-hoc reporting and web-based analysis of data by the end-users:

  • Webi against OLAP Cubes and rowlevel security

    Hi all
    Running XI3.1, SP4. Windows
    We are trying to create universes on top of OLAP cubes made in MSAS 2008, and take advantage of the rowlevel-structure that exist on the cube side.
    When running a WEBI-report against the cubeuniverse, the current user logged in from InfoView should be passed to the MSAS cube. Different users will then get different results. This is our goal!!!
    It works in Voyager, which runs directly at the cubes.
    But is this possible, via WEBI and universes. Has anyone done this??
    When creating the connection, the Authentication mode="Use SSO when refreshing the reports at runtime", looks promising.
    But i get a error message, stating "DBD: Unknown error has occured when determining the ODBO connection credentials"
    All inputs are appreciated
    /Björn

    Hi all
    We have configured the BOservers with SSO, using AD-Kerberos (using Tim Ziembas whitepapers). So we are using authentication=WindowsAD.
    It works perfectly for the end-users. They hit the INFOVIEW-url and they dont need no password.
    The thing that we want to acheive, is to connect to MSAnalysisServer2008, with Designer. I want to create a universe on top of MSAS OLAP-cubes, and take advantage of the rowlevel-security that has been implemented in the CUBE-server.
    When creating a connection in Designer using MSAS2008 OLEDB for OLAP Provider, there is the Authentication mode-dropdown. The second alternative "Use single-sign-on when refreshing..." gives the  error-message "DBD: Unknown error has occured when determining the ODBO connection credentials".
    I dont know if this is a bug, or if when using middleware MSAS2008 OLEDB for OLAP Provider in combination with Authentication mode="Use single-sign-on when refreshing.." it isnt supposed to work. From the Designer documentation it should work.
    We have tested this for Voyager, which connects directly to the cubes. It works in Voyager. the connection "feeds" the cubesystem with the user currently logged on to InfoView, and gives the correct rowlevel-restriction.
    We want to acheive the same thing with Webintelligence.

    Björn

  • Unable to open OLAP cube in Infoview for Crystal Report

    Hello,
    I am currently confused with a crystal report designed via OLAP grid on a BW query and working fine on Crystal designer module on my PC but sending an error when I tried it on INFOVIEW "unable to open OLAP CUBE".
    I checked all parameters and database connexions on BO Entreprise CMC : it is OK.
    I am on BO XI 3.1 SP 3 entreprise and BW 3.5 or BW 7.0 (both are in concern).
    When I tried a simple report on a BW query just drop fields of the query into the report and sending it on Infoview, it is OK.
    Just OLAP grid is KO. I do not understand, it is MDX language too ? Somebody can help or faced the same trouble ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Valérie.

    Hi
    I am facing the same issue when I try to open Crystal report Olap Grid via .net Crystal Report Viewer.

  • How to use OLAP cubes in Crystal Reports R2?

    Dear All,
    I hope someone can help me with the following issue: We are trying to link Crystal Reports XI-R2 with an OLAP cube but the login keeps on failing while the same setup/connection works with Excel.
    The OLAP cubes are created through SSAS 2008 and require a windows account for authentication. Because it works via Excel (through pivot table --> external data) the cubes are accessible and the username & password are correctly as well.
    Through the OLAP wizard in Crystal Reports the following message is displayed: "The connection could not be established. The logon attempt failed".
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Please check the trouble shooting guide in this article: /people/reuben.cox/blog/2009/12/10/troubleshooting-olap-connectivity-in-business-objects-products
    If, after performing these tasks, it still doesn't work, please reply back to this thread with more details about what you have tried and what doesn't work.

  • Olap cubes in 10g for reporting

    Hi -
    I am trying figure out how to use the olap cube I built in 10g.
    1) Can you use materialized views on top of the olap cube in 10g? Sounds like this is a 11g feature?
    2) Is query re-write for olap cubes available in 10g?
    3) How are you accessing olap cubes in 10g other than using the Oracle reporting tools.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Hi Frank,
    To answer your questions:
    1) This is an 11g only feature
    2) This is an 11g only feature
    3) The options for accessing OLAP cubes are described here:- http://wiki.oracle.com/page/I+am+Completely+New+to+Oracle+OLAP
    I hope this helps

  • Webi report on OLAP Bex query -  Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

    Hello,
    We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
    Webi report on OLAP Bex query -  Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
    Any pointers how to do it please
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi,
    WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
    You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

  • Reporting against an OLAP cube

    I have unsuccessfully tried to connect to an OLAP cube (SQL Server 2005) in Crystal Reports XI.
    I select OLAP from the Database Expert and Create a New Connection. I click Add to add the server. The server type selected is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0. The Server Options = OLAP Server. I type in the server name and instance and test connection and it says it is successful. When I add my user credentials (with and without the domain name) and hit Test Connection, I get the following error:
    "Failed to set properites (The following system error occurred: The requested operation requires delegation to be enabled on the machine. .)"
    Delegation was enabled on the server.
    I was reading in a CR book that I "may need to install client software specific to your particular OLAP system, such as a cube-viewing application, on your PC." I am not sure what that is. I have SQL Server 2005 client tools installed.
    Has anyone been successfull in reporting against a OLAP cube?

  • Error when querying SSAS 2000 OLAP cube with WebI (BOXIR2)

    Hi,
    I'd like to access a OLAP cube on Microsoft Analysis Server 2000 through Web Intelligence. The BO server is running BO XIR2 FP 5.7 on Windows Server 2003.
    I've installed the pivot table services on the BO server and am able to connect to the SSAS. I then created a connection, and on top of that connection an universe. The universe categories and objects where retrieved from the cube.
    When I now try to query the new universe, I get the following error message:
    BusinessObjects115.OLAPI.Cube.1] : Failed to set properties (Database 'ITZD_2010' does not exist.).
    ITZD_2010 is the name of the "folder" from which I selected the cube when creating the connection. The cube itself is called NFOTD and this name is also displayed as (not editable) database name in the connection details.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Connecting to an OLAP Cube

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect to an olap cube sitting on an essbase olap server. When i use the OLAP report creation wizard and try to connect to the server I get various messages about .dll files missing.
    The ones in question are essbhapi.dll and essapinu.dll
    Has anybody got an ideas of the best way to remedy this?
    Many thanks
    Darrell.

    Hello Darrell
    Simply install the Essbase client software. This contains the missing files. Depending on the configuration of your BOE system, you must install the Essbase client software on the same machine that contains the MDAS server. Once installed you will then need to restart the MDAS server so that it will pick up the Essbase connectivity. This will allow Voyager to work with Essbase and should also allow WebI OLAP universe connectivity too.
