Report data ( value ... tag) missing in the Webi report retrieved through RestFul Webservice

I am trying the below URL to get the WEBi report from SAP BO using the Rest Webservice support that is now available.
http://{serverIP:serverPort}/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/{documentId}
I am able to get the report but as I compare the same report response when using SAOP Webservice, there seems to be a mismatch in the response. Here is what I see in the SOAP response:
</td><td c="1" ><cell ref="1.E.4t" bid="14" h="26" w="231" pad="6,7" sid="-10"><ct >Some arbitrary value</ct><value type="xs:string">Some arbitrary value</value></cell>
But when I run it through REST, I am missing the <value ..> tag:
</td><td c="1" ><cell ref="1.E.4t" bid="14" h="26" w="231" pad="6,7" bt="1" sid="-10"><ct >Some arbitrary value</ct></cell>
Apart from this right at the start of the xml response, I see some property mismatch as well.
SOAP has this property extra:
<property name="output.format.xml.valuemode">yes</property>
While REST has these property extra:
<property name="output.format.xml.option.style">1</property>
<property name="output.format.xml.styledict.fontplatform">html</property>
<property name="output.format.xml.td.bandinfo">yes</property>
<property name="source.selected">data</property>
<property name="xelement.xml.object">yes</property>
<property name="xelement.xml.object.usemap">yes</property>
<property name="xelement.xml.object.usersupportedformat">image/png</property>
I am not sure if:
the <value ...> tag miss is because of these missing/extra properties or
current REST support has some issues
For my application the value tag is a must and I can't do without this, but with REST it seems no way to obtain that.
Any help or pointer(s) in this regard is appreciated!

Hello Milind,
According to our Product Owner Sam Polichouk, the solution should be available for you in 4.1 SP3, which is currently scheduled for release by the end of March 2014 (subject to change). The product team recommends that you get the raw, unformatted data values from within the Dataset specific call. This data contains a type to tell the end user what kind of data it is, so you can format it or use it properly.
The updated documentation for the SDK will be available at SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.1 – SAP Help Portal Page once the Support Pack is publicly released.

I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

Changing values in the web report

Hi All,
For ex. I have the following scenario.
I have a web report in which I have a table item which is displaying the query result. The user wants to have a facility to change the Key Figs, if they want, directly on the report, it means when the user runs the web report and if he says something to be changed, he will directly change the value on the report and will click something like a button to save the changed value back in the infoprovider.
Is this something possible?I came to know that we can do this sort of things using BSP but I am not sure how to make the table item to accept some changes and how to link to a BSP Program.
Could some one please help me in this..
Best Regards,
Nene.

Nene,
If you want to know if it is possible , here's how...
1. Use a BPS layout ...
2. Create a BSP layout for the same
option 2 :
Create a BSP page which has a textbox for accepting the value and a submit button.
On clicking the submit button , based on the parameters selected by the user , update the ODS. Remember you cannot update the cube because it does not have overwrite capability. However , declare the cube as an export datasource and then call the function module for the data source and push in the data for the same inside the BSP page.
Hope this helps..

Time delay on seeing the changed data onto the webi reports

Hello,
I'm new to BOBJ and was hoping someone can help me with adjusting the time delay the reflects the changed data to the Webi reports.
I have a user that would update a form on our EP. Afterward, she would have to wait a while before she can see the changed data on our Webi reports.
can you please tell me the default time lag and show me where I can change it if required?
thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Our BO is 3.1 SP4.
We just implemented PBF (Public Budget Formulation) and our forms are running on NWCE server. It's being written to our backend BW 7.01 SP8 server. I was told by our users that after she updates some new information on the form, it takes a while before she can see it on the reports. My understanding was the universe should see the updated data from our BW immediately after they refresh. Just as you both mentioned. But according to the users, its not. there's a time delay.
I'm going to test this myself if there's a delay. In the meantime and suggestion would be helpful.

Values not getting refreshed in web report.

Hello Friends,
Currently i am running an web report. The scenerio is i have check box with 5 options For Ex: IMS , IMR, IMN,IMM,IMP.
IMS is the combination of all divisions and IMR is the combination of only three divisions.
In BEx we runthe report with divisions . For ex : divisions are Ind1, ind2,ind3,ind4,ind 5.
Instead of displaying divisions in the select options like Ind1,ind2....etc., we have created a structure in the report
and using new selection we have restricted the divisions with IMS,IMN,etc.,
IMS->combination of all divisions. IMR is combination of ind1,ind2,ind3.
IMN... all are with single divisions
Now we have assigned the query in the data provider for select options in hte web report,
But when we select any options the values of the remaining queries are not getting refreshed.
If we use the divisons directly with out using the structures the values are getting refreshed.
Can any one give me the solutions for this?
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Mansi,
Check the Prompt properties in the Edit Query window of the webI. In the query filters section of window, click on the blue icon which says Prompt Properties. Deselect Keep Last values select and run the webI again.
If the solution is not related to your question, please provide more details.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Creation of Dynamic Date Variables to be used in WebI reports

What we are trying to achieve is to create 4 optional filters (Current Day, Current Week, Last Week, Last Month) on 4 different dates which will allow the users to use them in WebI reports.
When using an optional SAP Customer Exit variable in BEx and creating a Universe on top, the filter becomes mandatory (i.e. the whole Universe is filtered by the SAP Exit, irrespective of whether the filter is used in the WebI report). Even if the filter is flagged as optional at the Universe level, it still behaves as mandatory.
If each filter becomes mandatory then we'll have to create 16 different Universes (for each optional filter and date combination)! This is not feasible.
I've seen in other posts that MDX Statements are not currently supported for Universes base on BW and SAP Exit should be utilized.
So with the existing BO version, is it possible to create optional dynamic date variables or is that a product limitation?
We are on XI3.1 SP3 FP3.1
Thanks

Hi Adam,
In BEx, I would create this query very easily using the "Amount" key figure twice in my results and restricting each with a different SAP standard out-of-the-box delivered variable. For your reference, the variables in BEx are: 0FPER and 0FYTLFP.
If I expose these variables in my OLE DB for OLAP query, they are not transfered into the universe, but rather act as filters on the entire universe. I've seen in documentation that only "Ready for Input" variables can be transfered as options into the universe which is not something that I have seen mentioned in this thread.
>> In the BEx Query you have the option to either make the variable "ready for input" or not. The behavior is the same in Bex or in the Universe / Web Intelligence. "Ready for input" means the user can actually provide an input and without the flag the user can not provide an input. Yes those variables are supported in the Universe.
Why this is a problem: I can't create separate universes based on potential variable periods that users might want to see. Additionally, many financial reports require concurrent use of these measures in the same report. Also, in reality it's not 2 variables, but dozens.
>> Which is a decision you make already on the BEx query level. if you decide that the variable is not ready for input then the user can change the timeframe in BEx either.
Also, I don't have a good way to mimic the standard out-of-the-box functionality given with BEx in BO. If I custom create all my variables in the universe, how do I do a lookup from the system date to the fiscal calendar that is stored on the BW server? In other words, how does BO know which date belongs in which period? (the same would be true with factory calendars for a different functional area).
>> Variable are created in the BEx query and the Universe will leverage those.
If you want a dynamic date range then EXIT variable as part of the BEx query - ready for input or not - is the solution.
regards
Ingo Hilgefort
The only work around I can see is to require users to enter the current fiscal period and have the BO reports filter based off that user entered value. This is unfortunate as the entire purpose of SAP Exit variables is to avoid having to require user input at report time.

How to access data from SAP Tables from a Webi report

hi all,
I have a webi report for financial data and from a Bex query which is build on a Cube (this has data from 2 SAP ECC systems)
i want to build a functionality where in i can call some SAP Table data from this webi report. i should be able to pass information or some hard code where it can understand the source system it has to pick data from.
in SAP BI, we have this ption wherein we can achieve this through RRI..
is this possible in Webi ?
Thanks

Hi.
Create a universe on top of SAP Tables and create a webi report.
Using hyper link /open doc we can call this report from the webi report created on top of your Cube .

Hi Ingo,
- the BI Query in the Test system is running correct and all the variables do work ?
     Yes, BI Query is working fine in the Test System and I can see all the variables too
In BI Query I can see values for Calendar Year, Version, Profit Center, Profit Center Hierarchy
- the Universe has all the variables ?
Yes, Universe has all the variables.
- do you see values in the Web Intelligence prompts when you run the report ?
   No,
   I can only see values for the Calendar Year & Version in the Web Intelligence Prompt.
When I try to see values for the Profit Center & Profit Center Hierarchy in the Web Intelligence Prompt, its showing below error.

Data from different databases in the same report.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build a reconciliation report in which I need to show the data from the source and target, side by side.
Source and target are both different databases, although being oracle only
Whenever a new data model is created, it gets attached to a data source and in the report we need to choose a specific data model.
Can we have data from different databases in the same report ?

Yes, it is possible.
One way Is to use dataTemplates. There you can make queries from any number of different databases (The max I have done is 5).
It looks something like that:
<dataTemplate name="NameOfTemplate">
<dataQuery>
     <sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef="Connection1">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table1]]>
     </sqlStatement>
     <sqlStatement name="Q2" dataSourceRef="Connection2">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table2]]>
     </sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
     <group name="RESULT1" source="Q1">
          <element name="P_FIRST_NAME" value="P_FIRST_NAME"/>
     </group>
     <group name="RESULT2" source="Q2">
          <element name="P_DATE" value="P_DATE"/>
     </group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>dataStructure is very important when you get data from different places, if you don't define those elements, then only the result from Q1 is shown.
The second possible way is to make as two different data models, each containing their own query and then set Main Data Set as concatenated SQL Data Source.
Best of luck,
Evelyn

Error (IES10901) (WIS 10901) while refreshing the Webi report

Hi Gurus,
We have created webi reports using Universe design tool on top of BEX Query based on 0SD_C03 cube and now we are facing Database error: A runtime exception has occured. (Error loading cube 0sd_c03 (catalog : % 3). (IES 10901 ) (WIS 10901) while trying to refresh the Webi report from Data Access--> Edit--> Run Query while its running fine when I refresh the report using refresh button option in Webi.
When I run the the query in rsrt its working absolutely fine.
Note that we are using BOBJ 4.0 SP7 and this issue has come recently.
Any idea or help on this would be appreciated.

Hello Monali,
are you getting this error constantly or sometimes?
what type of connection are you using for your Webi report
Is it Specified user name/password OLAP connection or SSO Olap connection
If your are using Specified user name/password OLAP then try with SSO connection because SAp recommendation is not to use Specified user name/password OLAP connections..to resolve this kind of issues please restart DSL bridge..

BW Field level Autorizations are not working in the WEBI Reports

Dear All,
1. I have created Authorization roles with Infoobjects Authorization Objects.
2. In Bex Query Authoizations are working on the Infoobjects like for
Ex: For USER1 I have given Company code = 1000 &
User 2 I have given authorization for 1100.....
3. Import those roles into Business Objects-CMC.
4.Users were Imported.
But in the WEBI Reports BW Field level Authorizations are not working i.e for USER1 authorization for Company code is 1000 , in WEBI report it is showing all the Company codes data for USER1.
For USER2 also showing all the data in the WEBI report.
Plz help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Kiran Manyam

Hi,
For Authorization to work in BO you can check the following:
1. You need to create authorization variables in your BEx query.
Also these variables should not be input ready.
2. While creating universe in BO you need to select "Single Sign On" option available in the parameters iwhile creating a new
connection.

Filters and Conditons on the web report

Hello SDN,
I am working on the WAD and want to display the filters and conditions, if any, in the web report. I also want to display the selection criteria which we used on the variable screen to run the report. What is the web item used to display all these? What are the settings I need to do?
Please reply me soon...It is very urgent!!!
Thanks,
RPK.

Hi RPK,
As I mentioned in my previous post: If you put in any entry in the list of text elements, it overrides the normal setting for displaying either all generic text elements, or all filters or all variables.
As I understand, your requirement is to:
1) Display all the variables and filters on the query
2) display some of the generic text elements
Getting these two together on a single text element item is not possible as far as I know. So either you display all the generic text elements as well or else you use two different text element items.
On the first one put in individual entries for whatever generic text elements you want displayed and uncheck all other options, in the second one simple select the two checkboxes to display filter values and variable values.
Hope it helps,
Thanks & regards,
Nikhil
