SAP BW - BEx

Hi Guys,
i am installing SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR 1 on HP-UX : Oracle , one of the requirnments of the server is to have the following components available for reporting purposes :-
BEx / Business Explorator
To design queries, Business Explorator shoud be activated (transaction SICF).
· IGS / Internet Graphic Server
Since queries will be displayed as graphics on web pages, IGS is required.
My question is do i need ABAP + JAVA system or just ABAP would work ?
Thanks in advance,

just ABAP engine would do
Regards

SAP BW Bex 7.3 Queries not working with Enterprise Portal (EP) 7.3 ABAP stack only

SAP BW Bex 7.3 Queries not working with Enterprise Portal (EP) 7.3 ABAP Stack
Dear Portal Gurus,
we want to integrate SAP BW Bex Queries 7.3 into an Enterprise Portal 7.3 EP ABAP Stack only installation.
1) We have Done SSO between EP And BI System
2) System Object is Created
3) When we trying to create Iview of BEX 7.3 report, its executing that report on BI server, we don't have java stack on BI System
4) We have updated the required table in Bi system for executing the report on EP
5) RFC is OK, System Object Test is OK, Report is working independently from Business Explorer, but not working from EP
There no irj services available on BI system, as it is only ABAP stack.
Can anybody help us in achieving our requirement
Thanks in advance

How Many SAP BW BEx Queries can be embedded in a Universe

Hi,
I need to create 5 reports based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
Axes details:
X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
My query is: Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.
(All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
One more, should I use Web intelligence only? Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
Please advise.
Nanda Kishore.

Answers for your qns:
Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe ?? NO
Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report. ?? YES
All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel ?? Possible- YES
should I use Web intelligence only? *WebI * or Data Federator
Nanda Kishore,
As you are in SAP BI, I suggest you to go with BO Universe==>>WebI or DataFederator.
Solution for your problem:
Sol1 : Why you are creating 5 BEx queries?? Is there any calculations or restrictions??
YES, then Design 5 Universes for each BEx query.
@ WebI Report: Develop report/chart based on Universe-1 and in BO query panel click on Add Query and do it for 4 other Universes.
Save all Charts in single report. (After running second time query, it will prompt for 3 opt's: 1. Insert new report 2. Insert data with in the existing report 3. Indulge objects without creating new report )
Here, go with Opt:2 or Opt3 or opt:1, no problem. And develop all Charts in single report by just dragging & dropping chart type and objects to it.
Now your problem solved.
Sol2: If no need of 5 BEx queries: Just drag all the Characteristics, Keyfigures and other what you want for Charting.
@Designer: Design Universe on top of this BEx master query.
@ Report : use this Universe and drag objects to 5 diff charts.
Hope you got it.
Thank You!!

Designer support for Subquery against SAP BW Bex Query

BusinessObjects designer has an option in the paramaters window to turn on "Allow Sub-Queries" in a universe that has been created using a olap source. SAP BW BEX Query to be specific. Once turned on, you can build a query and the subquery button and functionality is actually enabled and allows you to build it. When running the query I get an error message "A filter contains a wrong value. You cannot run this query".
Now, I am pretty sure this functionality is not supported on a BW or OLAP source but, I can not find anything definitive from SAP stating that it is not supoorted. So I want to make sure that this is not one of those situations where everyone just says "It's not supported" but really just doesn't know. Does anyone have the official word or link to an SAP statement that this functionality is officially not supported.

What I would say is, it won't support. The reason could be, as its not support any structure view in universe designer, that means we cannot create any derived tables where we could use sql query.
I believe the same applies here too. Even if you look at LOV defintions in universe, it won't show any query.
So the same applies to reports.
Hope this helps.

Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

Post Author: mfrank
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties. Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query. I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity. When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP. I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW? I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
Thanks

Creating a condition on a SAP BW BEx structure

Hi,
I'm trying to create a condition / filter in a universe that is built over a SAP BW BEx query that is using a structure and I can't work out how to do this properly.
I see in the XI 3.0 OLAP universe documentation a reference to structures as follows:
"Stuctures defined in the BW Query that are based on characteristics are
included in the universe as single-dimension objects with the elements of
the structure as dimension members."
A sample of my BEx structure which is named "P&L Lines" is as follows:
Gross Sales Value
Discounts
Invoiced Sales
Std Material Cost
In the universe the Class is "P&L Lines" and there is an object also named "P&L Lines". The properites of this object in the "Select" area shows [D431JNHSA9FQ901I1YLHH9WBR]
A simple example of what I have been testing is to include only "Gross Sales Value".
In the universe I have set a condition as follows:
<FILTER KEY
"[D431JNHSA9FQ901I1YLHH9WBR]">
<CONDITION
OPERATORCONDITION="InList">
<CONSTANT CAPTION="Gross Sales Value">
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
This parses ok but it has no affect when I run the webi report.
Any help would be appreciated.

Currency translation on future dates in SAP BW-BEX

Hello All We have a requirement where in user needs to do a currency translation at run time for data in future periods. For example : Savings data on a purchase order .Total savings for PO is $100,000.00 in year/month 2014/008 . We have a from and to date based on which the savings is equally distributed for each month. From 008/2014 to 008/2015. So each month savings in this case is $8333.33. This data is stored in cubes. Currency translation is based on data in TCURR and TCURX tables . We do not have future currency rates in these tables. Table is up to date only as of today . Therefore the question arises WHAT RATE WILL BEX USE TO CALCULATE DATA IN FUTURE PERIODS? (It is doing the conversion from USD to CAD - but there is no idea what rate it is using? The currency translation variable is based on 0calmonth. Please help me understand what are the default settings for currency translations in this case ? Thank your your help. Sainath Kumar

Hello Yasemin Thank you for your answer, we too think that could be the case. But is there any documentation confirming the same. Also in this case the future values will keep changing based on the availability of the data in TCURR table. Thus the report values will not be constant.Technically it makes no sense to convert rate today for a value in future. I am looking for a concrete answer from SAP saying that this is what the Bex query will do in case the future rates are not present. This will give the business a base to work with .

No data in Crystal report created on SAP BW BEx Query

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a Crystal report on top of a BW query. I am able to login to the BW system and open the BEx query and the objects are coming into the crystal report.
But when I drag and drop some objects into the details area and try to preview sample - it does not show any data (it shows accessing database but doesnt bring any data)
I copied the generated SQL query in to the section in the BW system in transaction code 'MDXTEST' and it runs correctly and shows me the result below there.
Just to try - I unchecked 'Use MDX..' check box by following the path SAP->Settings to check if that could bring back data ... and YES that worked which means data is not coming from the BW query with MDX connection but when MDX seems to be fine and retrieve result when I run the sql statement in tcode MDXTEST.
Also when I do preview samples - I can see in SM50 in BW system that it is trying to run the report just that I am not able to see any data in my crystal report.
Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sunny

Hello
The order of display of attributes in Webi and Crystal report would be different.
Collapse the infoobject and skim through the attributes, you should be able to find them.

SAP BW Bex Queries as Data source WIS 10901 Error while refreshing

Hi,
I have created a Web Intelligence report based on Universe upon SAP BEx queries.
When I refresh the report, I get the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: the supplied XML is not valid. [Measures].[4ASYKV5XU5T].(WIS 10901)
Report was fine for a day. I started showing error from today.
This is my first report and Universe based on SAP BEx queries. I do not have knowledge of SAP system as well.
Please help.
Nanda Kishore B

Hey Nanda kishore B,
It is because that Measure object definition changed @BEx. Measures.4ASYKV5XU5T
Can you check @BEx query for any latest changes??
OR
Go to Universe Designer:
1. Open Universe
2. View == Refresh Structure
3. Can you see any updates now?? OK
4. Save Universe
5. Export it
Now open the Report. It will work now, if all Objects are there at Bex query & Universe level.
Along with this Do integrity check @Universe also before exporting.
Gracias...!!

Using hierarchies from SAP BW BEx Query in BO Universe

Hello,
I'm trying to use a hierarchy (e.g. a simple customer class hierarchy) which is a part of a BEx Query in a BO Universe. But until now I have not found a way to get a hierarchy from a BEx Query working in a BO Unvierse.
1. Is it generally possible to use hierarchies in BEx Queries with a BO universe? (at the moment I can see all characteristics and keyfigures from the query... but I can't see the hierarchy levels for the characteristic)
2. If 1) is possible: I want to use a hierachy variable to select a hierarchy depnding on the user who is using a report... that's not a problem in BEx. But: Is it possible to use this query/scenario with a BO universe? Does the BO universe update itself automatically if the hierarchy has changed in a BEx query?
I've tried it with SAP BW 3.5 and SAP BI 7.0. BO Release is XI 3.0. Unfortunatelly without result.
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
1) Hierarchies are mapped in the same way as custom-made universe hierarchies. When a hierarchy is defined on a characteristic in the BW Query, Designer creates one hierarchical structure in the universe, with a subclass for each level in the hierarchy. The structure depends on the current BW Query definition.
2) If the number of levels in a hierarchy changes in the BW query, you must update the universe. In the universe connection select *Use Single Sign On when refreshing
reports at view time* to allow the user to benefit from SAP SSO.
Hope this helps

The macro "repoNewquery cannot be found" in SAP BW BEx

Hi,
when i attempt to open BEx analyzer, the following error message is displayed in SAP BW 3.5 NW platform.
"c:\programfiles\SAP\frontend\BW\SAPbex.xla!repoNewquery'
cannot be found.
I tried in the tool menu bar of MS excel to change the security status of the macro to the medium instead of high as was suggested in the pop up screen help. But it was of no use as i got the above error after changing .
Any suggestions folks?
Thanks,
Ravi

Go to c:\programfiles\SAP\frontend\BW.
OPen the file SAPbexc.xla.
If click "Start" button it will tell which components are not installed properly.
Check the 2 sheets PC as well as server.
One more thought : GO to control panel-Add/Remove Programs and RUN the Microsoft Office Repair.This will repair all the corrupted dlls.

Problem with sap logon/bex

Hello Peoples,
I have a machine is the same with Windows Vista Home Premium, sap logon 7.10 - patch 11
Access to the SAP system is perfect, but when I try to open the Bex query designer after informing username and password I get the error of communication rfc.
Can you please tell me know how can I fix this error? or if Bex is compatible with Vista Home Premium?
Regards...

Hi,
Yes,BEx is compatible with Vista Home Premium Edition.
You will get an RFC Communication Error,if the backend system is down or if you enter the language as blank(sometimes) in the SAP Logon.
Try opening other tools like WAD,RD and Analyzer and connect with backend and check whether it works or not.Try opening QD from WAD or Analyzer
This is not tool specific anyway.
Rgds,
