How to print sap bex query varaibles in webi report

Dear Friends,
I created a webi Report on universe ( Based on SAP BW Bex Query with variables).
its working fine. Now i want to show the selected variable values on the top of my webi report.
How can i access and print my bex query variables on header of my webi report.
We are using BOE 3.1 SP2, SAP BI 7.02.
Regards
Malik

That is default behavior of BO. The integration mapping from BI to BO will populates like that, COZ you made BI variable on top of Date dimension, which needs From and TO fields.
To display that info, what user has selected on the fly:
As suggested, use UserResponse() function.
keep in mind, prompt text and userresponse text must be identical. Otherwise, it wont't work.
Eg: prompt Text: Enetr From Date:
Var: =UserResponse(Enter From Date:) -->> Results: (Blank)
Why?? Prompt text Enetr not Enter
Hope it clears you.

How can I test my Query As A Web Service?

Hi,guru:
    I have created my Web Service based on universe which based on SAP BW query using Query As A Web Service Designer, but when I use it in Dashboard on BOBJ platform by passing a parameter to the Web Service, it seems no response from the Server,I made 2 test steps:
    1.Pass a value to the input parameter,I checked by ST01 in BW Server and see no records of the action, and no result return.
    2.Pass a blank to the input parameter,I checked by ST01 in BW Server and got many records,and all data be retrived.
    It seems that when I passed the parameter,the Web Service seems no response and didn't run at all. Is there anybody who can tell me how can I test the Web Service,I want to test it and input my parameter.
    Thanks very much for your quick response.

MDX Driver WIS 10901 Error in Query as a Web service Tool

Hello,
I'm trying to design the query as a web service to use for Xcelsius Dashboard (created connection, universe etc in Designer), but can't proceed with query definition - it's only possible to put one characteristic otherwise error WIS 10901 is triggered. Everything works fine with data based on cubes and some other queries.
Couldn't get help anywhere:
Here is the same error described in detail - people from SAP solved it, but the solution wasn't described->

Execution of BEx Query Designer Querys in BI Java SDK

Hello experts,
i am actually occupying with the possibilities of the BI Java SDK. I checked the documentation but could not find an answer to my question, so i address this issue now to the community in the hope, that someone out there can give me a hint:
Is it possible to execute a BI query, which was designed in the BEx query designer, within the BI Java SDK OLAP query api?
Is there somewhere a method, which could be simply passed the technical names of the infocube and the query and then returns the query result as a IBIResultSet or IBIDataSet?
Thanks in advance for your help,
best regards,
Thilo

Hello Mohan,
thanks for this impression - thats a way i didn't think about at all before. I even think, that it is not necessary to publish the query as iview - it would suffice to invoke the BEx-AdHoc-Analysis Service via a HttpConnection-Object within a servlet and then parse the result delivered by the BEx service. You won't even need BI Java SDK for this, since this is plain Java functionality.
But as i see there seems to exist no BI Java SDK-"generic" possibility to invoke an existing query as i see....
If anybody has got another idea, it is very welcome. But i think i will investigate on the approach with the native HTTP call to AdHoc Service.
Thanks anyway & best regards,
Thilo

Query as a web service Sorting issue

Hi All,
We have designed an existing BI query as a web service but it seems to be ignoring the Sort order of different characteristics used (as defined in Bex Query Designer).
Using the Context menu in QAAS and defining/managing the Sort is not working.
Has anyone experienced such an issue and how to handle this?
Thanks and Regards,
Bansi

Hi All,
You can try this solution. It has something to do with the universe parameter, END_SQL.
I implemented this as a work around and it solved our problem about the sorting issue with QAAWS.
Here are the steps:
1: Open the universe
2. Ope File, then Universe Parameter
3. Click the parameter tab
4. Scroll down until you see the 'END_SQL' entry. This entry is blank by default.
5. Select END_SQL
6. On the VALUE box, type: ORDER BY 1
7. This will enable the REPLACE button. Click REPLACE
8. Save the universe
9 Test a query using 2 columns and view the SQL.
You should see now the ORDER BY 1 inferred in the SQL statement.
Voila!!!!
Of course you can always add ORDER By 1,2,3 later if there's a need.
Enjoy.....

How to migrate SAP Bex Query to BO report

Hi All,
I want to migrate some of the reports from Bex Query to SAP BO.
Will you suggest me what are the best ways to do this,Whether there are any tools to do this??
Regards,
Shiva Kumar G.C

Hi,
When you say migrate do you mean to use BOBJ for reporting?
If your answer is yes then other questions come into picture.
What type of reports you have in SAP- Adhoc, WAD, Formatted etc?
BusinessObjects is combination of some tools.
WebI is a web base tool and mostly used for Adhoc. You will have to create a Universe on the top of your Bex Query and then WebI Document (WebI Report)
Crystal Reports is used for formatted reporting. You will create connection on the base of your requirement. You can create a Universe or make a direct connection with your InfoProvider and then create your reports. Use MDX functionality to create Reports.
Crystal Xcelsius is used for dash board reporting.
And if your answer is no to above question and you want to migrate your reports to BOBJ like and upgrade without recreating the reports then it is not possible.

Bashir Awan

I need to know the user who has created/modified a SAP Bex Query and WAD

Hi!
I need to know the user who has created and modified a SAP Bex Query and SAP Web Application Designer. Does it possible to know this information by a table or view?
Best Regards
Ramon Sanchez

Hi,
In BEx query, when you click "Queries" to open the query, the list of queries are displayed. Highlight the query, click on the "Properties On/Off' icon(right most on the top), you would see all the details.
In WAD, before opening the template, click on "Properties On/Off'" icon to see the details.

SAP BEx query's Conditions and Exceptions on BO Universe

We are planning to create Conditions and Exception on SAP BEx Query. And provide this query to BO team for their development
Could anyone tell me in what form will these BEx objects be visible in BO-Universe ....as detail objects...or query filters and a.s.o?
Will they be Invisible? If invisible will they be atleast applied to BO-Universe.
For e,g: I know that, BEx Query filter will be applied to the underlying query but are not visible in OLAP universe.
- Anil

Hi,
Conditions and Excpetions are not supported by OLAP BAPI tehrefore they are not generated in universes or consumed at query level.
You have to create conditions on measures in universes (except top end bottom exceptions that are not supported).
Exceptions need to be done at cliient level (Webi, XCelsius, etc).
I BOE CI 4.0 conditions will be supporte by the Semantic Layer direct acces with BICS but exceptions will continue to be created at client level.

Publish query as a web service

Hi,
Actually my requirement is that I need a url to import in the datamanager, so that i can import my bi query in the xcelsius.
I hav got all the BO enterprise tools available witjh BO XI 3.1 & SAP integration kit installed.
For this in the universe designer i have & created a universe/ Connection & my BI query is visible in the universe pane. Can anybody guide me how to publish or get the url? or from here how do I proceed to get my BI query in xcelsius?
Thanks in advance,Shreesh

Hi,
to generate the URL, you need a web service that can be created with "query as a web service".
If you already have the universe built, then you will find a very good & detailed guidance here:

Query as a Web Service and In List

Hi,
Here is my scenario (Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise SP2):
- List builder object which returns multiple values
I want to use those values to filter a Query as a Web Service data connection (to BW based universe). How is that possible?
My web service contains a Filter defined as <Dimension> In List <Prompt>
I have tried the following:
1) Selected multiple rows in the Input Values/Read From section of the connection
2) Tried to concatenate the individual values using ; and , and then passing the concatenated values to the Read From section of the connection (as one cell)
1) works fine as long as I just select one value, but when I select multiple values, only the first one is used to filter the QaaWS
2) Does not work
Any ideas/suggestion on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Jacob

Hello David,
I tried this feature of BI Services through WebI Rich Client. But I am having problem with sending values for Prompts using Xceslius. Below is the procedure I followed in developing a report and using BI web service to connect to Xcelsius.
1) Build a report in Web Intelligence rich client along with Query filters (Inlist, Optional Prompts).
2) Activate BI Service and publish the block after exporting the file.
3) Use the WSDL URL to connect to Xcelsius from Data Connection (Add as Query As Web Service and Import it).
4) Method: Get_ReportBlock_<Block name>,
    set input values <Enter_value_s_for_prompt>
        i) Valueofprompt (bind to single values, hard coded)
       ii) Index (leave blank, not binded)
5) set <refresh> as 1 (or true) and <getfromlatestdocumentinstance> as 0 (false)
6) Bind the output values to excel and pull a scorecard component to view the data.
7) Preview the dashboard and now I get this error
                Cannot Access external Data: String index out of range: -1
When I remove both the values inserted in step 5, I get complete data (prompt is not applied). I also have a doubt whether I can pass multiple values for the prompt without using + sign to duplicate the Prompt.
From some of the previous posts I came to know about Value formatting compatibility issue between BI Services and Xcelsius. Which is addressed with two fix packs
1) XI 3.1 SP2.5 (available since last March) for WebIntelligence Rich Client & BI Services, and
2) Xcelsius 2008 SP3.1 (available since last April).
Are these the up to date Fix packs available and will they solve my problem?
Where can I download them from (SAP Market place)? or from our SAP service consultant?

How to remove Decimals in Quantity Objects in SAP BO Explorer View created on top SAP Bex Query?

Hi,
I created SAP BO Explorer report on top of SAP BEx Query.
In SAP BEx Query, Decimals were hided but when i created OLAP Universe on top that SAP BEx Query and Created Index on top of Information Space in SAP BO Explorer and then created Exploration Views. But i'm getting Decimals in my Exploration Views where as SAP BEx Query in RSRT, no decimals were appearing.
Can anyone suggest me how to remove decimals in SAP BO Exploration Views.

Hi Ramana,
I am not use how you connect to SAP BEx query (Via universe or BWA or HANA)
What I could say is BWA and HANA, you cannot adjust this
For universe, you could try in universe layer, there is note about this
For BWA and HANA, this function might be enhanced but you 'd better raise OSS to SAP to check with them
Best regards

% Wildcard selection - extract data via Query as a Web Service

Hello all,
I am using Query as a Web Service to extract data through to my Xcelsius document. I have a series of charts that display summed data according to user selections within some combo boxes.
Is there any way to send through a wildcard selection, i.e. pass a " like '%' " query string somehow through to the database?
With the query that I have created:
I have a measure value returned
I have 4 filter objects
I have selected the "Prompt" option for each
Within the Data Manager, the prompt fields are assigned to cells which reference the combo box selections
When I build the query, the selections available are many (equal to, not equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to, etc), but there is no 'like' comparison.
Alternatively, is there a way that I can pass the selected parameter values, including " like '%' " if no value is selected within a dropdown, to the original measure calculations within the universe?
I hope this makes sense, let me know if I need to clarify anything. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Marco

Very easy solution - select 'matches pattern' within the filter objects selection when building the query.
Don't know why I didn't try this earlier.
