SAP BO WEBI Reports - Auditing, Monitoring, Statistics

Hi WEBI experts,
what software tools are available/recommended that can be used to track report access statistics for web intelligence reports that are using universes and also bex queries as data sources?
(we are not interested in overall server metrics like cpu, ram, ...)
Scenario:
- mix of BO Reports (mainly WEBI: with both Universes and BEx Queries as data sources)
- the reports are accessed by the users via BIP Launchpad BI Workspaces
- we would like to find out which reports are used the most (daily, monthly, yearly) so that we have a list of all the reports that can be sorted based upon their popularity, where popularity is either the overall number of times the report was opened or the overall number of the unique users who opened the report; how many users opened each report and how many times over a selected time period
Any suggestions for suitable software or tutorials that can be used for webi reports monitoring opened via bip launchpad?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
David Gyurasz

  • Advantages of EP over SAP BI Web Reporting

    Dear Experts
    Can you please share your inputs on Advantages of EP over SAP BI Web Reporting?
    Appreciate if you could share any presentations or documents on this.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    They are absolutely different environments. With EP, you can develop WebDynpro Applications, using ABAP or Java, integrate Internet Service, develop applications with Visual Composer, ... It's much more than a reporting environment. You can integrate BI reports on EP, using iviews portal components.

  • SAP BW Web Report : Web Template

    Hi,
    I have created a SAP Query view and a web template.  Then i have created the web report using the below URL.
    http://port/sap/bw/Pub?sap-language=EN&cmd=ldoc&TEMPLATE_ID=TEMPLATE1
    Later i added filter condition sin the web template and created the URL which filter values for that particular Cost Center.
    http://port/sap/bw/PUB?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&CMD=LDOC&FILTER_VALUE=7&TEMPLATE_ID=TEMPLATE1&FILTER_IOBJNM_1=COSTCENTERA&FILTER_VALUE_1=7046
    I face issues with the below points.
    1.     Now the Title of the web report has to be changed.  Where can i change this ? ( HTML code / web template ) 
    2.     The Title of the report is selected from a Region Value from the .css file.  Is there any relation between this fiel and ABAP code at the backend.
    3.     The Cost center has hierarchy values at the back end.  Even if I do not enable the hierarchy for Cost center, I get values for that parent node.  But the child nodes show extra projects if hierarchy is enabled.  Should that be enabled ?
    4.     In the view I am getting both the fileds Cost centerA and Costcenter B.  But  in the report for filter COSTCENTERA=7046, I get only COSTCENTERB and vise-versa.  What could be the reason ? What should I do to get both the fileds in the Web report.
    Appreciating your valuable suggestions on the above points.
    Please help me in resolving these issues. 
    Many thanks

  • SAP BO WebI Report on top of BI Bex Query with Authorization Variable

    Hi,
         We are trying to restrict row level data using BI 7.0 analysis authorization concept. We have an authorization variable in the Bex query and is working perfect in Bex Analyzer as well as in RSRT.
    Now we are trying to achieve the same thing in BO webI. We created an Universe using Authentication Mode SSO. We are on BOXI 3.1 and implemented SSO. When we try to run the query in WebI we get the error
       "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData..(WS 10901)"
    Just for testing purpose, when we use query filter in WebI and use Values from List, it is showing only the authorized value it supposed to show and runs well with that value selected. But we have to achieve this without the query filter in WebI.
    So are we missing some thing here or any patch issue? Please share if you have done this type of reports in BO.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Moorthy.

    Yes I did run MDXTEST and it gives error as 'you do not have sufficient authorization'. The reason it is giving, I guess and we are debugging that to confirm, is first it looks for 0BI_ALL and throws error which is not the case in Bex. See the following trace in RSRT trace.
    InfoObject Properties Defined
    Reading of Directly Assigned Authorizations
    Direct Assignment Does Not Include Universal Authorization 0BI_ALL
    Reading the Indirect Assignments with Authorization Object S_RS_AUTH
    Does user have OBI_ALL?
    No, the User Does Not Have Universal Authorizion 0BI_ALL
    Negative Entry in SU53 Result of Failed Check for 0BI_ALL
    Indirect assignments found; no universal authorization
    Reduction of Authorization Dimensions on Characteristics in InfoProvider
    Reduction Successful

    Hi  Sudha,
    We had had the same issue, and we solved it reintalling the internet explorer (that was the faster and easier solution).

  • BOXIR3.1- Users, Auditing DB statistics of Report Refresh,users login info

    Hi All,
    I need to create BOXI R 3.1 DeskI reports for the statistics related to the user login information,Scheduling Reports info,user properties and other statistics .
    Any suggestion to resolve this issue , It helps me greatly.
    Thanks in advance..

    Have you tried auditing?
    That way you can get information about different kinds of information. You can install the example reports with some useful reports (average of users logged in, and so on)
    For more information, read the BOE Administrator Guide 3.1 chapter 12.
    In BOE 3.1 you have to configure the connection to your database (create a new repository from the
    CMC), to install the auditing universe and you can install some example auditing reports.
    You can get the universe (if depends on the database you are using) and the example reports (webi) in this folder from the server:

  • SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

    Hi,
    I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
    We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
    Below are the settings that I had done:
    Setting of Characteristic in BW:
    Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
    Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
    Example data:
    Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
    I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
    Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
    Thank you in advance.

  • SAP BI Mobile Publishing Webi report issue

    Hi All,
    We want to use the BI Mobile App on IPad for Webi reports. The app is successfully implemented on the IPad, connection to BO server is done, categories are visible. But no report.
    In Webi I tried to publish my report to the respective 'mobile' category, but the the 'Publish to' is missing in the menu.
    Save as is possible, but it has no effect.
    I checked the CMC and I have full authorisation for publishing (and anything else).
    What could be the reason that the 'Publish to' menu is not visible? Is this the reason why I do not see my Webi report in the Bi Mobile app?
    I would appreciate any kind of help.

    HI Danya,
    You have already done the configuration it seems.
    Mobile Category has been created.

  • Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

    Hi
    We are having Backend as SAP BW.
    Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
    i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
    My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi,  we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes  to open.
    This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
    Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
    So can you suggest any solution?

    Hi Gaurav,
    We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
    What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
    (so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
    or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
    this will result in that object being added to the result set.
    Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
    the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
    The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
    One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
    (less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
    Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
    Good luck!

  • Performance issue and data getting interchanged in BO Webi report + SAP BW

    Hi,
    We are using SAP BW queries as the source for creating some BO reports.
    Environments :
    SAP - SAP BI 7.1
    BO - BO XI 3.1
    Issues :
    The reports were working fine in Dev and Q with less data. But when we point the universes to BW prod ( where we have much data), the reports are taking quite a long time to refresh and getting timed out. This query has some key figures which are having customer exits defined to show only one month data. And also BW accelerators are updated for the infocubes pertaining to this query. The BO report is giving data if we apply a filter in 'Query Panel' of Webi to show only current month dates. But then the issue is the values are getting interchanged for many objects. For ex: there are 2 objects- ABS version and Market region. The values are getting interchanged in the BO level.
    Please let us know if anything needs to be done in BO or BW to fix this issue if anyone has faced the same
    Also Please let us know if customer exits and accelerators works fine with BO
    Thanks
    Sivakami

    Hi,
    Thanks Roberto. We'll check the notes
    @Ingo,
    We are able to solve the performance issue by removing unused Key figures and dimensions from the query, but the column value interchange issue still persisits
    The build version is  - 12.3.0
    Query Stripping
    Where should we enable query stripping? When i went through some documentation it was written that it'll be enabled automatically from XI 3.1 Sp3. Can you please let us know if its so and what we need to do to enable it.
    The coulmn interchange is happening when we use dimensions in a certain order. When product type is used along with Market region. Market region shows values of Product type also in Webi report.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sivakami

  • 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

    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.
