RRI, graphs in Workbooks

Hello Gurus,
      Firstly I would like to know if we can create jump queries between workbook and a query. I know I can jump from query to query and workbook to query but how about query to workbook.
      Secondly is there a problem in creating graphs in a workbook based on just one category in the report and if so can we dynamically change the title on the graph.
Example I have 4 regions N, E, W, S and based on the sales rate I need to create graphs. I wanted the graph title changed depending on my selection criteria. Is it possible or I need to create them in WAD?
       I am sure you guys would have a solution for this and expecting for an appropriate answer, thanks for all the prior help and ideas.

Hi Priya,
As far as the jump target from query to workbook is concerned, I guess you want the query to jump to a particular navigation state that you have stored in the form of a workbook. For this it may be helpful to actually save a view and use that as a jump target. Look at this for more info:

If we can get the graphs in Bex its self how i can embed the graphs into a workbook.
Thanks

Hi All,
I had a question about graphs in workbooks. I have a main workbook from which user's can drilldown(RRI) to its line item report. Since the users want to see only the chart in the workbook, I attached the chart in the main workbook. Is it possible for them to drilldown from the chart to the line item report?
Hope the question is clear.
Any help will be appreciated and points rewarded.
Thanks!

RRI Functionality in Workbook

Hi Guys
This is my first post on SDN and i am really not able to find out any solution for this problem.
I have 2 queries ( One is summary report other one is detailed level report ) connected thru RRI functionality ( T-code RSBBS). I have developed two separate workbook for them. Now i want to provide the same RRI functionality in workbook.
I am getting the option for jumping to other workbook in summary book but when jumping to other workbook its giving me an error that the query is not on the same server. while they are on same server.
I don't know if SAP allow jumping between workbook but if you have any idea about the error which i am getting or any other way to achieve this functionality i would really appreciate your help.
I have seen some post on SDN where somewhere macro code is mentioned to achieve this but that is not working
Thanks

Creating graphs/charts in BEx Analyzer - BI 7.0

There is no design item for creating graphs / charts in BEx analyzer. We don't have web server/portal.
There is a chart button in default workbook, which switches table/charts views.
How do I create charts in custom workbook.
Also, how do I do precalculation of workbook w/o Broadcaster.

Query Drilldown does not Invoke Customer Exit Variables

We have a problem with performing a drilldown in a BEx Analyzer reprot, basically the client is a Trading company and they have inter company trading. We are using the Profit Centre as one of thre u201CFree Characteristicsu201D in the query and hence we are able to drilldown on a Characterictc by Profit Centre.
We are using a couple of BEx query variables (Customer Exit variables) to determine the inter-area and extrenal area profit centres and these profit centres will be different based on the level of Hieracry node selected when the query is initially executed. For example if we assume a hierarchy with has one root node, 3 children under the root node and 2 grand-children under each of the 3 child nodes, now if we are at the root Node of the Hierarchy then every profit centre is internal and there are no external profit centres, similarly if we are at the 2nd node (i.e. one of the child nodes) then everything under that node is internal and everything in the other 2 child nodes is external and so on.
This is where the issue starts for us, since on the report if we select the the node we want to see the results for at the query rumtime (i.e. the Customer Exit Variables are invoked at I_STEP=2 and they select the other nodes of the hierarcy if any and group them into either external or internal) then the results are correct. Now if we were to drilldown, i.e. We selected the root node and we drilldown on to see for example of the child nodes then the result are not correct, this becomes apparent when we drilldown further to the grand-child nodes.
One logical explaination is that when we are doing the drilldowns the customer exit variables are not being invoked in the BEx analyzer report and hence they are not grouping the sums for the internal and external profit centres relevent to node selected in the Drill down.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to make this query work properly or show the correct results in BEx Analyzer (ideally), I have considered the Workbooks option but the client does not want Workbooks.
Please let me know if there is a program etc we can customise to ensure that the Customer Exit variables logic is used when the user does a drilldown in the query or any other way to make it work.
Many Thanks
Jack

Hi
Just to aid anyone who is thinking what to do in a similar situation, I am aware that RRI or using workbooks are a couple of good alternatives (just that these are currently not being considered by the client, hence I am asking here).. Also, if someone has Business Objects WEBI then we can satisfy the requirement by creating a new Webi Report for each of the nodes and displaying it (similar to Workbooks but much nicer and faster) or we can get the Webi to execute the variables again during the drilldown... Unfortunately the client is not using Webi either... So the solution has to be in BEx Analyzer / Query designer based...
If you have any thoughts on how I might be able to do what I want to do then please feel free, I am quite confident that I am not the 1st person to come accross this issue and someone somewhere has solved this issue.
Thanks

Which workbooks containts graph

I need to know which workbooks are using graphs, the best would be to query it via EUL5_* tables but i can't find where the graph/chart info is available. Please help where to find such information?
Actually the only way i can think about is to export all the workbooks in xml format and search for files where <chart> tag is available, but this is time consuming.
Any other suggestion is welcome!
Thanks.
mcha

Hello ncha
All workbooks that are saved to the database are saved to a file called EUL5_DOCUMENTS where DOC_NAME is the name of the workbook(s). The code for the workbook will be contained in a LONG RAW field called DOC_DOCUMENT.
Because it is a LONG datatype you cannot use SQL to query it directly. However, you should be able to create a function that will allow you to convert the LONG into text and then you should be able to search for the word CHART.
Not saying 100% that this will work but it might be worth a shot.
For help on creating such a function I'd like to refer you here: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_select_long_table_column_sql.htm

Adding 3 graphs and a table in WebApp from a workbook

Hi,
I created a workbook with 4 worksheets: 1 table (the query) and 3 graphs (based on the query) with different currencies. I want to add those in WebApp in one web template. I added the workbook as a dataprovider and 3 graphs and 1 table as the web items. How do I add the worksheets in each partivcular webitem?
Thanks,
Ramona

Hello
Once you inserted the WEB item in the Template you have to link them to the Data provider (query o Global View).
That has to be done for each web item. You need to provide a source data (Data Provider) for each of them. If you miss the data provider, you will have no data. Apart that you can then define the other settings related to the WEB Item.

HELP! How to make RRI from BEX query into Workbook with one report???

How to make RRI from query into Workbook???

Hi Alex,
A workbook is a set format of queries, so when you try to jump to another query , you will definitely open another session and hence another excel file. This is the same for web templates also though you have an option of opening the new result in the same window.
You would have to use some macros and open the query on the same page. A RRI is a query jump and not a drill down . A drill down would be getting more of the dimensions into the query.

Call workbook through RRI

Dear Guys,
I am having one requirement that i have to call workbook from BEx query.
My Sender BEx query is available in Browser.
Already i have tried RSBBS based on the following options:
My current setting is My sender is a query and my receiver is also query. When i am calling the receiver query throw sender query by using RRI, receiver query is displaying in a new browser. Instead of new browser, i want to show this query in Excel.
Please provide some suggestions.................

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply.
Actually end user's requirement is from one query they wants to go to the same query's excel format. At the time of excel view, we are doing some designs that are not applicable for web display or download to excel option. Only possibility is to display throw workbook. At the time of workbook display, i wrote some vb code for designing the sheet. So i sholud have to display the report throw workbook.
Is there way for calling workbook throw RRI?

RRI opens blank excel workbook

Hi,
We have a few reports that have RRI links to an external system, which opens in a web browser, displaying a scanned invoice image. However, when we select the GOTO, scanned image link, the correct web page opens, but a blank excel spreadsheet also opens. This blank spreadsheet is causing the users a few inconveniences.
Is there any way of preventing this empty spreadsheet from opening?

RRI in Visual Composer

Dear Colleagues,
Like Report-Report interface (RRI) in BW, wherein detailed report can be invoked from chart/graph, can similar thing is possible in Visual Composer?
Please advice.

Wih a workaround as below you can tailor to suite your needs ;however there are some limitations you may want to look below-
You can also combine the advantages of the VC and BEx Web runtime. For example, you can develop a VC model that renders the data in Adobe Flex and within this model you can define links to BEx Web Applications that calls the underlying query in order to analyze the data in more detail. There the data will be displayed in DHTML and you can use the BEx features to drill-down in a pivot table, for example
General Aspects - VC
In the area of Analytics you can use different tools to model reporting scenarios and analytical applications.
Deciding which tool best meets your requirements depends on several factors - features, UI technology, User
types, interaction, OLAP and/or OLTP data needed, for example. The UI tool decision tree (see Figure 3) will
support you in your choice and will help you determine which tool meets your requirements in the best way. Your
decision also depends on which criteria (e.g. features) are most important for you.
First you should think about whether you need to use the functionalities of the BI analytical engine (drill-down
navigation in reports, slice and dice analysis, and external presentation hierarchy, for example). If you dont
need those functionalities, then you should use Visual Composer, especially if you want to use query services
(Web Services and/or BAPIs) and/or if you want to embed OLAP data into operational processes. Also, use the
Visual Composer if your analytic application to be rendered with Adobe Flex. Adobe Flex is a presentation-tier
framework and server that enables the development of Rich Internet Applications. With the Adobe Flex UI you
can use interactive UI elements, for example. If you want to use just OLTP data in your reporting scenario, you
also have to use Visual Composer.
If you want to report based only on OLAP data (stored in Info Providers in a SAP BI system), you should use the
BI Suite tools. If the end users should access their reports using MS Excel, you must use the BEx Analyzer.
Beforehand you have to define a query using the Query Designer that then can be easily embedded into a BEx
Analyzer workbook. You can also do basic formatting with standard MS Excel functionality as well as integrating
BI Integrated planning functionality.
If you want to use formatted reporting and if you want to display the reports in a Web Browser, you should use
the Report Designer. With the Report Designer you are able to create formatted reports that are optimized for
presentation and printing. You can also access a number of formatting and layout functions.
If you need to deliver standardized reports, you should use the Pattern Wizard (integrated into the Web
Application Designer) to create pattern-based Web Templates. You can create Information Consumer Patterns
to ensure a standardized UI for the end users who access the Web Templates via the Enterprise Portal. If you
need special UI elements (for example, Tab Strips) or if you want to build planning applications, you have to use
the freestyle Web Application Designer capabilities.

I cant see the graph in discoverer viewer whith was created in the desktop

Hi,
I need your help!! I have a problem to see a graph in Discoverer viewer. I will detail you the steps that I follow;
It was a difficult calculate report to results by Discoverer so, I create a view in the data base which show 3 field, Periodo(number) which is a union whit other field from other folder, State(varchar), Requirement(number).
From the discoverer desktop y have a crosstab worksheets and a graph, there I can see it without problem, but in the Discoverer viewer I can see the graph.
I tried to set the worksheets options in “show options” to show me the graphs too, but this options didn’t appeared there. Somebody know what I should have to do to see it?
On the other hand I changed the “show null values show” option since null to empty, and when I wanted to save the change this error appeared;
“Oracle BI Discoverer don’t had to found the necessary values to show the events…”
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Dora

Hi Dora,
The graphs that you create using Discoverer Plus will show nicely in Viewer. Everything you develop in Pluys works in Viewer. They are companion products.
You must realize that Discoverer Plus/Viewer and Desktop are two seperate product sets and they use different techniques for graph creation. There are other differencies between the two that suggests that you need to develop all reports using Discoverer Plus in stead of Discoverer Desktop.
I have experienced workbook created in Plus being destroyed when opened and saved using Desktop. So for a long time I have simply forgotten all about Desktop. If your company is relying on both Viewer and Dersktop I suggest that the time has come to change strategy and technique.
If you need sparring please mail to [email protected]
Good Luck!

BI IP - bad performance in BEX workbooks

Hi,
we use BI IP and have workbooks with 5 to sometimes 10 planqueries (located on individual worksheets). We notice that the performance in BEX is bad. The planning functions itself are performant ( less that 5 seconds in the modeler). However in the excell workbook everything is slow;
opening: 30 seconds - 3 minutes.
simple save: at least 30 seconds
planning function: more or less the same as the save.
=> when performing a trace with ST05 (when clicking on save for example) we don't see much happening. Also in SM50 we don't see much happening.
Does anyone has experienced the same (or the opposite?) Is this problem caused by SAP or by Microsoft Excell?? Are the figures above normal???
D

Hi,
we created aggregates which decreased the response time significantly. But even if we have no data or it is quickly selected, it takes for ex 10 - 20 seconds to do something (saving, simple function) in case of workbooks with 4 - 8 queries. For queries with one query, this is faster, like 3 - 8 seconds to do something.
I think planning in BEX is slow (it is 4 - 20 times slower than web according to SAP studies!), but the effort we should do now to increase the speed would not weigh up against the benefits ...
could you do a trace with ST05 and let me know which statements take the longest time? What is your reaction time in your query. How hearvy is your query? Do you have pictures or graphs included? do you use data slices or characteristic relationships? you can also email to further discuss.

Discoverer Desktop Graphing Questions

I have several questions about the graphing tool in Discoverer Desktop:
1. I'm bringing in a customer id field which I convert with a to_char in the query from a numeric field. Most of them are 5-digit, but some are 4. I notice in the x-axis the customer id's appear only for the 5 digit id's, and for the 4-digit ones the identifier appears. i.e. if the 5th record has an id of 1508, instead of displaying 1508 it displays 5. Does anyone know how to correct this?
2. In the y-axis values, is it possible to display more than 5 decimal places? (We're dealing with very small percentages). When I try to enter 6 or higher as the decimal value in Options, it says invalid number.
3. When I open an existing workbook, it readjusts the y-axis scale to a max of 1, when I've set it to .0001. How I can I make this retain my scale values?
4. Is it possible to display the y-values in the graph area itself next to the plot points?
Thanks for any help!!!!

Hi paul,
Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
Hope this helps you.
Best Wishes,
kranthi.
