Retries for a Webi Report

Hello,
last week we discovered the possibility to set an automatically retry for our Webi Reports in the CMC.
Today we discovered a malfunction.
The first run of the Webi Report failed but the second one succeeded.
The Excel Export is wrong. It looks like, that BO is using an old layout to create the Excel Export.
We will just have this problem, if the first run fail.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thank you for your help!
Best
Jan

Hi Sathish,
thank you for the quick answer.
New Style:
You can see the beginning of the first sheet and the names of the other sheets.
We use this format nowadays.
Old Style:
Here you can see same things. The beginning of the first sheet and the names of all sheets.
Everytime the first run failed we get an export in the old format.

How to create @prompt filter at universe level for my Webi reports

Dear all,
I am using BO XI 3.1 SP3 with SAP BW 7.0.
I have created an open[big] query based on a multiprovider for my OLAP universe.
OBJECTIVE: to create LOV prompts for Calender year, for my webi reports, which takes 2010 as input then offsets the input year and then shows Gross sales for the prompt year [2010], 2009 & 2008.
ISSUE: if 2010 is selected in webi prompt filter, then it doesn't display any data for any other year, lets say gross sales for 2009.
ALTERNATIVE: i tried to create a prompt filter in the universe with this syntax,
<FILTER KEY="@Select(Calendar year\Calendar year).[TECH_NAME]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Enter year','N',,Mono,Free,Not_Persistent)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
it worked fine. but i also want to create a measure or dimension which subtracts 1 from the above filter and return a result with a previous year.
e.g
PROMPT: 2010
PROMPT-1: 2009
Universe structure
[TIME]                         class
[Calender year]        class
     [Calender year]     dimension ( type:string)
Please guide me with correct procedure and syntax.

masood44 ,
I think you should just prompt for year and capture and use the selection at the webi report level.
say you have calendar year(convert it into numeric) prompt at webi level. say user selects 2010 capture it in a variable var1:userresponse('enter year'). then create a variABLE (var2) with formula :
if(isPromptAnswered('enter year')='yes';([year] where year inlist(var1;var1-1;var1-2);null)
build your report with var2 and gross income
Thanks,
Karthik

Variant for a Web Report

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was a way of creating a variant for a web report, the way we can create one for a BEx report. I would like to be able to store the variable values in a variant and then select one of the avaialable ones.
Thanks,
Doniv

The save as view functionality does exist in BW 3.x. The only difference is that it is not available as a web item. There is a template named 0publishing_template. This has the save view option available. The other way is directly from the Web Application Designer. Go to Tools --> View Definition --> Select either based on a query or based on another query view. Once this is done you can either create another web template with the view as your dataprovider or you can create a hyperlink in the role menu and use a URL like this:
http://servername/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=0query_template&data_provider_id=technical name view.
One thing to note is that views will save the variable entries. You can add VARIABLE_SCREEN="X" to force the display of the variable screen. To change the values in the variable screen add VARIABLES_CLEAR="X".
Hope this helps.

"Block EDIT option*" for all WEBI Reports with Administrator Account

Hi,
I had opening CMC with Administrator Account.Due to some reasons i want to "Block EDIT option" for all WEBI Reports.Just Viewing is sufficient.In the same way for Universe"Blocking EDIT object option".Instead of Administrator guide reference (chap no 18 &19)option.Could you help in steps resolving issue.Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swapna.

Hi Swapna,
You could perform the following steps:
1. Login to CMC.
2. Go to Folders >> Manage >> Top Level Security
3. Click on Add Principal and add the user or group for which you have to set the security.
4. Click on assign Security >> Advanced tab >> Add/Remove Rights.
5. Select Content >> Web Intelligence Report
6. assignt "Edit Object" right as denied and click on apply ok.
This would help you to block edit option for only webi reports and all the webi reports in your environment.

Launch HTML Editor for creating webi reports - Java sdk

Is there a way to launch HTML editor directly for creating webi reports..I know we can set the preference for HTML report panel in infoview...but thats not the requirement. I have to launch the HTML or Java report panel editor according to the User selection on the fly....its a customized java code for webi reports.
Any help on this is appreciated!

Combining 2 BEx queries into 1 for 2 WebI reports for different 0CALYEAR

Hi all,
I have the following requirement in BEx Query designer:
I have two queries with 0CALYEAR infoobject in each.
One query shows me the data of last 5 years and the other does not have any such condition, it shows me full data.
I need to build a combined query based on these 2 queries.
This combined query shall be used for 2 WebI reports:
- 1 report showing the user, data for last 5 years
- 2nd report showing full data
Is it possible to handle this, without giving any date selection prompt for the user on the WebI report.
If so, please let me know how.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi

You have many options available. You can use structures and/or cells in your single query to present one set of data for "5 years" and one set of data for "Forever". You can simply create the query using selection columns to limit one column to 5 years and one data to 'full data'.
However... I always strongly advise my users to never, ever, ever create a query for 'everything'. You have no idea what the future will hold in terms of data volume. Creating an unlimited query will only produce performance issues and sadness. Users NEVER actually need 'all the data'. They just think they do. It's part of your job to keep them from creating requirements that they will regret later on.

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports
Is it possible to have a common prompt on the Dashboard. Which passes these variables/prompts to other WEBI reports show on the dashboard
Most of the financial WEBI reports have common prompt (year and period)
If I select or enter two common prompt can this be passed to all the webi reports shown on that DashBoard.
Thanks & Regards
Ishaq

Hi,
You cannot achieve this using WEBI alone. You will have to use Xcelsius with WEBI to achieve this. In XI R3.1 you can use the content linking feature on the dashboard to link a Xcelsius Analytic with multiple WEBi reports. You just need to pass prompts to the Xcelsius Analytic and all the corresonding reports will recieve that value. There are several possibilities with this and i have just stated one. Hope that helps.

Disabling Cache for a webi report

Hello,
We have BO 4.1 SP1 system. We have a webi report based on bw- bex. That bex is connected to a table in R3 that momentarily updates itself. So, we are supposed have a report connected to live data. (bex query cache is already disabled on bw)
The problem is, by the data changes, the webi report fails to catch the new data in time. The bex query it is connected, almost momentarily updates itself, however, webi does not. The goal is to make the webi report's result data to match the bex query result as the table in R3 updates.
To achieve that, we created a server group in CMC, named it "no-cache" and put some cloned servers with supposed no cache holding properties. (The screenshot of the servers are attached.) We scheduled the webi report in every 5 minutes, allowing only the no cache servers to be used. However, it is still reported that the webi report does not match the bex from time to time.
Am I missing some server cache configuration? Or is a real-time data webi report not possible?
Thank you

Also, the third screen shot for the server properties is as below.
Thank you again.

Can Tivoli (TWS) be used for scheduling WebI reports in BO XI 3.1?

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to schedule WebI reports to refresh using TWS?
We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2 deployed on unix and would like to use TWS to refresh WebI reports that are built on SAP BW Bex queries. Does anyone have any experience scheduling WebI reports using TWS with XI 3.1? Any information you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek

Hi
I can think of two options:
1) You define in BO CMC external events and schedule your reports to wait for them. In the TWS you can schedule an OS script to create the file that triggers the BO external event. The reports will run only after the file is created.
2) You write a java program that uses the BOBJ SDK in order to schedule immediately your reports. In the TWS you create a scedule that starts the java program. (You can find examples how to use the SDK here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples )

Filter not working for a Webi report

Hi There,
We have a BOBJ Webi report having variable selection screen when I run the report with default fiscal year Ex.2012 it's working fine. Then by click on refresh button and trying to change selection value to Ex. 2013 and I'm unable to see any values even though it has values for 2013.
When I click on the filter bar then the values are appearing. Could anyone please let me know what could be the reason for this issue and how can we avoid this.
We are in BOBJ 4.0 SP6.
Thank you,
Regards,
Shiva

Hi Jakub,
Thanks for the reply, Please find the screen shots below
1. Report initial screen running with the default prod year for 2012 and it's working.
2. Then I click on refresh and run for another prod year it's not displaying values even though it has values for that prod year.
3. When I click on filter bar then the values are appearing. Not sure why it's behaving like this?
Also note that there is no filter, under query filters. Please give me any idea about this issue.

Shiva

Retrieving Query Filter conditions for a WebI Report

I'm developing a Java program using the Business Objects SDK to gather all relevent data from a WebI report and export it to a XML document. I'm having an issue retrieving the Filters correctly.
Right now I have a method that retrieves a query from a query container. Then I retrieve a condition container from the query. After that I use a loop to get the filtercondition nodes in the conditioncontainer and I get their name and ID's. My goal is to get all the information the object, the dimension, condition, and values seperatly instead of it all printing out together. For example my code prints out this as the filter name : "Period Of Time_Air Date Greater Enter Start Date:" . The name contains all the information from the filter but is there a way to get each peice of information for the filter seperately.
I'd appreciate any help.

Best Practice for embedding webi reports in hyperlinks..

SAP Community
What is the best practice for embedding hyperlinks (email) from webi and sending to a user?so the users can quickly consume the report with minimal effort (click link and launch infoview/report).
John

As mentionned already, BI has it's own inbox, and/or SMTP integration for broadcasting.
Else, if you go to Folders, right click on your report instance, then select "Copy URL" (or 'docuemnt link' i cannot remember the exact term.) - that woudl give you an open document link to invoke the viewer .
