SAP BI 4.0 IDT

i have noted one issue in IDT.Refresh structure is not updating newly added database columns.It is reflecting in data foundattion layer but in business layer it is not reflecting.If we tried to manually add in business alyer , it is getting the wrong mapping.

After completing the refresh sstructure you have to remap the DFL to the Businesslayer
Then only you will get reflect the datafoundation changes into the business layer.
Refer the below document for the same.
Information design tool 4.0: Refresh the structure of a universe
what is the error you are getting when you are doing remapping?

  • Getting Error message while trying to access security editior for a IDT universe

    Hi,
    I have created universe in SAP BO4.1, using IDT.
    I have applied row level security for User Groups using Security Editor.
    I have published the changes to repository.
    But when I am trying to re open the security editor for that universe its throwing error:
    "Unable to load security for universe ID ATF10O... (IDT 022123)."
    I am not able to edit row level security, even this security restriction is not restricting data in WebI report.
    Thanks for your response.

    Hi Sonal,
    The local file of Business Security Profile is missing or damaged.
    Resolution
    Use the workflow to reset the problematic Business Security Profile in the filestore. After that, you can manually re-create the new Business Security Profile to make it working.
    Logon to CMC and find the ID of the universe with issue(e.g. 9010).
    Logon to Query Builder (http://<web server>:<port>/AdminTools/).
    Find the detail information about this universe with the following SQL statement:
    select * from CI_APPOBJECTS where SI_ID = 9010
    In the Search Results List, you will find a row with the title of SI_SL_BSPS (Business Security Profile), note down the number of it(e.g. 9016).
    Then search with the following SQL statement in the Query Builder:
    select * from CI_APPOBJECTS where SI_ID = 9016
    In the Search Results List, SI_PATH is the local file address of the Business Security Profile (e.g. frs://Input/a_146/035/000/9106/).
    Then you can back up the file and delete it.
    Select a Business Security Profile without issue and rename it as the deleted one.
    Put the new normal Business Security Profile under the location of the deleted file.
    Then you can delete it in the IDT and recreate it normally.
    Refer: SAP Note - 2080272 - Error "Universe access failure Unable to load security for Universe ID XXX (IDT 022123)" appears when editing a Business Security Profile in Information Design Tool

  • Long text problem in BW query and Key figure name

    Hello
    We're using SAP BO 4.0 (IDT) and SAP BW as a datasource. Maybe someone knows:
    1. How to change the name of keyfigure, which now appears as Formula 1, Formula 2 etc. In BW every single key figure has it's own name Sales, Purchases etc. What I'm missing here?
    2.As you well might know every single char infoobject has it's own Long\Short\medium which now appears as an attribute. When I choose multiple Long definitions then the execution of a BEx query fails with 'Inconsistent answers'. In Universe Designer we can change the objects name, but how to proceed here. Do I need to change something on a Bex query level?
    I'm well familiar with SAP BO, but due to lack of experience in SAP I'' ve hit astumbling block with these 2 things> Any assistance would be more than welcome
    Thanks in advace

    Hi,
    for (1)  - that doesn't sound right...   i think your KF are calculated KF (CKF)  possibly with a formulae variable .. or something, which is supposed to populate the name, based on a user response ? 
    Or maybe you've got non-unique KF descriptions, and this is some system imposed nomenclature?
    for (2)  i'm not so sure, but you may have to change the infoobject text setting, globally, in RSA1.   webi won't like non-unique labels if the keys are different.. How does it look with the default 'key and text' (medium) setting?
    yes you can change the characteristic display properties in Bex query designer, but i have a funny feeling that it doesn't get consumed by webi over that API.  (it's native OLAP stuff for BEx really...)
    Good luck

  • SAP BW or IDT, Which one to use?

    Hi Experts,
    I'm trying to understand this concept for some time now and need your help in order to put the pieces of this puzzle together in my mind. With IDT, data from multiple data sources can be combined into single schema and further can be used to generate one report. With SAP BW we can achieve the same functionality as well. As far as I understand, all the datasources that are supported by IDT are also supported by BW like : Oracle, IBM DB2, MS SQL Server, SAP HANA. I'm trying to understand the need of SAP IDT/Universe with SAP BW in an organization when we can simply have all the databases connected to SAP BW and consume the data through mostly any BO tools via Bex queries.
    I'm sure there's some unique value added to the system by either one of these (IDT, BW) and one cannot be a completely replaced by other and I'm looking to learn the factors that decide what kind of data should flow through IDT or BW. I've noticed in my current organization the sales data flows through IDT/Universe and the remaining (inventory, invoice etc) through BW. Can everything not reside in BW instead of choosing two separate paths ?
    I'd really appreciate any inputs on this.
    Thanks
    Gaurav

    Hi Gaurav,
    You are touching two different entities.
    BO is not here to replace BW. It's majorly focused on reporting area. We can get best reports in BO whereas it is difficult to achieve the same with reporting tools like BEx.
    Users will get good look and feel of data analytic features in BO.
    BO can connect to all the data bases to get the data into its reports through universe view. where as in BW the connectivity means to get the data into BW to store data physically.
    Coming to your business scenario,
    Sales data might be residing in non-sap data base where they might be using BO as reporting tool and rest of the data like inventory might be stored in BW hence its using BEx.
    Hope you got some clarity
    Regards,
    Naveen

  • How do SAP BW tables translate in BOBJ IDT Business Layer?

    How do SAP BW tables translate in BOBJ IDT Business Layer?
    We understand that SAP BW stores data in tables. WHen we create BOBJ Universe, the table names are different from what we see in SAP BW .  Can someone explain how the SAP BW tables get transitioned in BOBJ IDT with examples?

    may be lets start fresh as i am lost now ,authentication and authorization are 2 different things right
    1)authentication - I import the OBJECT role from SAP BW to BOBJ enterprise ,thats it a person can now authenticate SAP system
    2)Authorization - how does this work ??
    3)Rights - this are ONLY for BOBJ objects and has nothing to do with SAP BW objects or even SAP Data right ??
    Thanks

  • SSAS Cube Connection with SAP BO IDT

    Hi Guyz,
    I have one requirement where i have to connect the SSAS cube with SAP BO along with cube security.I was able to connect the SSAS cube with the help of IDT using cube's Dll file , but i couldnot able to implement cube security in my SAP BO environment. The security incides the specific roles which are there in cube. My connection is not implementing the security which is there in cube.
    Kindly , provide any insights if anyone have on these.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Shweta

    Dear, Roberto,
    Our user has Full Access to all BPC tasks and it is administrator in BI system.
    Also we can successfully connect with the same user using Connection type "Local".
    We had done some investigation and in the BPC SQL Server trace log we can catch the following message when an error occurs:
    ==============[System Error Tracing]==============
    [System  Name] : BPCXMLAService [Message Type] : ErrorMessage [Job Name]    : ValidateUser [DateTime]    : 04/23/2014 10:58:06 [UserId]      : [Exception]    DetailMsg  : {System.Exception: Invalid user    at SAP.BPC.Services.Webservice.XMLAService.XMLAService.ValidateUser()} ==============[System Error Tracing  End ]==============
    It is very interesting that after the EPM workbook is launched via BI Launch Pad till an error occurs we are NOT provided with possibility to enter any username and password. So the EPM add-in should use the same user which was logged into BI Launch Pad - in our case the user with administrative rights both in BI Launch Pad and BPC systems. Am I missing anything?
    Looking forward your feedback.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,

  • Error while creating a BO Universe (using IDT) on top of SAP HANA Calculation View with Input Parameters

    Hi All..
          We are trying to create a Universe (using IDT-Version4.0) on top of the HANA Calculation view. The Calculation view has 4 input parameters, So
    in Universe side we have created the respective prompts. For the creation of derived table we have used the following code
    SELECT *
    FROM "_SYS_BIC"."<schema_name>.<CV_Calculation_View_test>"
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_A$$','@Prompt(A)'),
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_B$$','@Prompt(B)'),
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_C$$','@Prompt(C)'),
    'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_D$$','@Prompt(D)')
    While validating the above code we are getting an error.
    I have attached the snapshot of that error for your reference. Please find the attachment and help me in resolving it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello George,
    I don't have any personalization set on the info space. Also I am using mapped Account in BI to connect to HANA. The confusing part is that it is able to validate the infospace with the input parameters and index it. However query does not return any results. I even tried running the same query which explorer sends to HANA in the SQL editor and there too the same results,the query does not return anything. The model does return data when I do a data preview and if accessed from other tools like AAO.
    Also when I use SSO connection to HANA, indexing of the infospace fails. Where can I see the error log?
    Thanks,

  • SSO to SAP works but no OLAP Connection per SSO Auth

    Hi experts,
    we have setup an SSO for the Authentication of SAP BW and SAP BO and used the portal integration. We are using SAP BO 4.1 SP4 and SAP BW 7.4.
    We use the Login via Netweaver Portal go then to the SAP BO where the reports are stored.
    The SSO login works fine, but the OLAP connection to the SAP BW system does not fly. I have tried to create a connection via IDT. This works.
    After that I created a WebI report in the Applet and chose BEx Connection and retreived the error:
    error.openSapBwBrowsingSessionFailed
    Then i tried the WebI Rhich Client and recieved the message: Unknown Error in SL Service and Even do not recieve the list of possible Bex connections.
    We are using SNC for the user authentication in SAP BW.
    An now it is getting very unnormal:
    When i go the IDT tool and create the connection again and republish this to the repository and try to connect again via WebI Applet, i do not get the error message again.
    Can you please assist, as our Business user can not publish their OLAP connection.
    Regards,
    Markus

    The new Business Objects version (BI 4.0) comes with a new authentication
    technology to create a trust relationship between a non-SAP user and the SAP
    data source. How to determine the correct method to be used?
    When using legacy .unv universes (XI 3.1 technology) = SNC
    When using .unx environments (BI 4.0 new semantic layer) = STS
    when you try to connet BICS connection or IDT it is important to use the STS methodology.
    check the below link to have configurations.
    Follows a Wiki link with a "How to setup SSO against SAP  BW in SBO BI4.0 for LDAP users".  and follow the raunak kumar suggestion when you configire SNC and STS.

  • How to create a custom Hierarchy in IDT 4.0

    Hi All.
    I am trying to create a custom hierarchy objects in the Information Design tool, But I am not able to find it here as same sort like the universe designer in 3.1 or 4.0 . I have found the navigational path but I am not sure how I can use it as a hierarchical objects in my reports, Can anyone please suggest how to create a custom hierarchical dimension in IDT 4.0.
    Thanks,
    Navin

    Custom Hierarchy are called navigation path in IDT. I will suggest to go through the navigation path tutorials below
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-22087
    Hierarchical objects are no different than any regular objects but they enable the drilling in drill mode in the report and you can create a cascading prompt on top of them..
    If after going through this you still have any specific questions just let us know...

  • Help on IDT on HANA  : secured connexion doesn't show all the views

    Hello HANA and BusinessObjects experts.
    We want to build a Universe on a HANA View.
    We are following the steps indicated in the IDT user Guide :
    Build a Relational Connection on HANA (JDBC driver) in my project.(.cnx)
    Publish the connection to BO repository and create a secured connection shortcut (.cns)
    Create a Data Foudation and that last (cns) connection.
    And there is the problem :
    If in the Local cnx connection,  I am able to see all my calculation views (as well as all HANA live views) , whereas I am only able to see a very small  subset of these views in the published secured connection (cns). 
    The name of the views I am still able to see are kind of 'renamed' : ex :
    What I see in the cnx for the 'ADVINI_ANALYSE_COPA' view
    .... And what I get in the published connection
    I have played with filters, tried ODBC connection... but anyway I am not able to see the view on which I want to build a universe.
    We are running SAP HANA 1.0 SP07, and BO 4.1 SP03.
    Thanks all for your help.

  • 64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

    Hi.
    I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
    SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
    BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
    SAP HANA
    SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
    SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
    SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
    Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
    SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
    .NET SDK
    I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
    My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
    However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
    When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
    When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
    When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
    If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection.  CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.
