SAP BW Query URL question.
Hello,
In our company, we use security roles to publish our BW Queries. We do this by inserting a SAP BW Query URL using pfcg tcd. This is working well as long as you don't have a URL string bigger than the content of the Object description and continuation box.
Does anybody has an idea in the way we can insert a bigger URL in the role.
Tanks a lot.
Stéphane.
You could try a few things...
1) Try using a query view
2) Update the underlying table using open sql ( not recommended)
3) Create a new template which redirects the page to another page and point your role entry to this new template.
Code for the new template
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=insert your really long url" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

OpenDocument URL for SAP BW query
Hi,
We have built universe on top of SAP BI query and created the variable for Fiscal Year. When I run any WebI report created from the same Universe it automaticaly pops up the window to pass the parameter for Fiscal Year.
I have created two reports one Parent and other one is child. For the child report I am passing the Fiscal Period value as Period 05 2010. When I click on Parent report link to show child report it shows me the MDX error instead of report. (The report works fine without link)
Prompt Name: Fiscal Year
Values: Example Period 04 2010,Period 05 2010, Period 06 2010 etc
URL is:
="<a href='../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sPath=[PublicFolder],[MSS],[MSSScorecards]&sDocName=Scorecard&sType=wid&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSFiscal+Year=Period 05 2010'>Click</a>"
Please suggest me if I am missing anything in the URL and let me know how to format the URL for SAP Query based universe.
Environment:
BOE XI3.1 (Web Intelligence)
SAP Integration Kit 3.1
SAP BI 7.1
Thanks,
MoogiHi,
the product group is working on extending the functionality of the int.Kit and improving the integration between BOBJ and SAP in general. Stay tuned for future releases.

Hi all,
I am trying to publish BW reports in portal through import of roles to portal.I am just adding the queries to role and then uploading the role to portal.
For this i got the below steps-
1. Edit the role in question
2. Go to the tab "Menu" and click on button "Other"
3. Add "BW Query URL" from the list.
I am not clear with point 3 cause when i select BW Query URL and the help button it takes me to my desktop.
PLs guide me with point 3,and also if possible steps to upload BI roles to portal.
Thanks,
RajendraDear Rajendra,
It is for sure that you cannot use the searchhelp to fill in the BEx Query URL. I do not know why it is pointing to the desktop, but it is better to fill it in manually.
If you are using BI 7.0, you can use function module RSWR_GET_DEPLOY_PORTAL_INFO to get the exact adress for you portal. If you add '/irj/portal' to it, you will get to the login screen.
The complete URL can also be found when you execute the query from the BEx Query Designer. It should look something like this:
http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?QUERY=<queryname>
Please keep in mind that the role menu is removed as a web item in BI 7.0, because BI is more integrated with the portal. The role menu can only be accessed/used via the BW3.5 tools (like Web Application Designer).

AnithaHi Ingo,
- the BI Query in the Test system is running correct and all the variables do work ?
Yes, BI Query is working fine in the Test System and I can see all the variables too
In BI Query I can see values for Calendar Year, Version, Profit Center, Profit Center Hierarchy
- the Universe has all the variables ?
Yes, Universe has all the variables.
- do you see values in the Web Intelligence prompts when you run the report ?
No,
I can only see values for the Calendar Year & Version in the Web Intelligence Prompt.
When I try to see values for the Profit Center & Profit Center Hierarchy in the Web Intelligence Prompt, its showing below error.
u2018Database error: [SOFA Driver] : The operation completed successfully.. Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)u2019

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will sort it out and ensure the release version will be the same as Inter Kits.
By the way, i saw your post regarding the Integration Kits installation and configuration. However, i still need some clarification; appreciated you could assist me on this.
I have installed SAP BOXI3.1 SP3 on an LINUX machine (Redhat Enterprise 5) and the server was running fine without connecting to BW or SAP eCIBS.
Now, i have to establish the connectivity to BW (InfoCuve and BW Query) and SAP eCIBS system. As my customer requirement was required to using WEBI, CR and Xcelsius for connecting to BW for getting the data and then using scheduler in BOE for performing report distribution. Some of the report will connecting to SAP eCIBS directly and that will using our Client's machine for creating the report (using CR2008) and then publish to the BOE platform for report scheduling and distribution.
My question, i wish to install SAP Inter Kits and downloaded Inter. Kits for SAP Solution 3.1 SP3 from service market place. When i refer to the document from help.sap.com; there are couple of section but i wish to know which are the perquisite section that i wish to install and configure?
Eg: System Requirement which are installing SAP RFC SDK and SAP JCO SDK into my BOE server, then following my create a logon token. How to to that? It also require to install SAP Java Connector and SAP GUI, does these two available for LINUX OS as well?
The steps in doc was confuse, appreciated your kind help.

Always hided elements in structure (SAP BW query) are "activated" in WebI
Hello WebI-experts
We have an interesting challenge to get resolved, hopefully you can help us.
As datasource we use a SAP query with two structures.
One structure contains a variable (variable 0CMONTH of character 0CALMONTH) which is only relevant for the initial prompt, e.g.: 03.2010.
This prompting variable itself has the property of "Always Hide" under Display setting.
All the other elements of this structure have the setting "Always Show".
The Universe on this SAP BW query already shows NOT the elements of this structure. It "only" shows the structure itself as dimension (icon).
When designing a WebI query and executing it the result is:
Showing the values for all the elements with property setting "Always Show" AND wrongly also the only one with "Always Hide". It is required to exclude the "Always Hide" element of the structure from the reporting view.
Questions:
1.) Are there any means to show the elements of the SAP BW query structure in the universe and therefore also in the WebI query? If there are no means....then question 2.
2.) How can we exclude the "Always Hide" element of the structure from the reporting view?
Thanks for any advise.
ChäsitzerHi
I have altered the SAP BW query in the following manner:
The "always hided" element in the structure of the query has been erased.
The current structure only consists of 0CALMONTH variables, 0CMONTH, which itself are off-set ones, e.g.
STRUCTURE in the query: (consists of 12 months)
current month (variable 0CMONTH)
current month -1 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -1)
current month -2 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -2)
current month -3 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -3)
current month -4 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -4)
current month -5 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -5)
current month -6 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -6)
current month -7 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -7)
current month -8 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -8)
current month -9 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -9)
current month -10 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -10)
current month -11 (variable 0CMONTH, off-set -11)
The universe itself consists "only" of this structure, the 12 months off-set variables are not displayed respective editable.
How can we display the exact 0CALMONTH variable values, counting down from the current month, in our WebI report, e.g.:
Rows of WebI report SHOULD show:
Nov 2010
Oct 2010
Sep 2010
Aug 2010
Jul 2010
Jun 2010
May 2010
Apr 2010
Mar 2010
Feb 2010
Jan 2010
Dec 2009
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I am trying to use WebElements with SAP BW Query. I need to pass few variables including date. The date variable on SAP side is a standard SAP object that starts with 0. Seems like WebElements is not recognising it, if I use SAP customer defined variable starts with Z then it works fine with Webelements.
Is there is a way to use SAP standards objects in Webelements?
Thanks,
Sajjad Qureshihello,
you could be experiencing an issue with opendocument and the sap integration kit.
let us know what happens when you do this:
A
1) change the numeric webuilder parameter to 3 (where 3 gives you an alert box showing the opendocument url that is being created)
2) write down the url
3) paste the url into a new browser window...
do you still get the same error / issue?
B
1) on your report right click on any object and go to Format > Hyperlink and then use the enterprise hyperlink wizard to create a hyperlink to the same target report
2) ensure that in the hyperlink wizard that you include a default value to all of the parameter values in the target report
3) save the report in your enterprise environment and try the hyperlink out
do you still get the same error / issue?

SAP BW Query Vs SAP BW MDX Query
Dear Gurus,
Can someone please tell me the difference and advantages of connecting Crystal Reports2008 to "SAP BW Query" & "SAP BW MDX Query"while .
My main concern being SAP BI resource is , we don't create SAP MDX queries in BW.
Regards,
-NehaHi Ingo ,
So the Crystal report datasource will be SAP BEx queries when we select the connection SAP BW MDX Queries .
My question is do we have to write MDX statements somewhere in SAP BW or the system will automatically generate when we select the SAP BW MDX Queries ?
Regards,

Prompt List of Values in WebI - SAP BI Variable - SAP BI Query -BI Infoset
Hi,
We have a Multiprovider built on an Infoset. SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
Multiple-Single Values type Optional Variables are created for some of the Objects of this SAP BI Query.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration kit.
WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompts are created on some of the Universe Objects, for the WebI report.
We are facing a typical problem.
When a WebI prompt is created on one particular object, (which also has a Multiple Single Value type Optional Variable in SAP BI Query), its List of Values is showing up only first three values in WebI. The SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values, for the same object.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in the List of Values & this is the problem.
We tried to keep the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset, Multiprovider = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
Similar objects and similar variables for the same query / webi show all the List of Values.
Any guidance on aspects to be checked would be helpful.
regards,
Rajesh K SarinProblem :
If an SAP BI Infoset is used in data modelling, and a restricted key
figure is created in the SAP BI Query; the resultant WebI Object Prompt
for the Info-object, only shows up LOVs which have been used for the
restricted Key Figure. Both the things are not related except for the
fact that some of the values for the same object are used for the
restricted key figure.
Details :
We have a Multiprovider built on an SAP BI Infoset.
SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
There is a restricted key figure in the sap bi query. KeyFigure "Number
of Records" is restricted for 3 of the relevant Info-object "Meter
Reading Status" values.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration
kit. WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompt is created on the Universe Object for Meter Reading Status, in
the WebI report.
List of Values is showing up only the three values in WebI (which were
used in the Restricted Key Figure calculation).
SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer for the same Info-object Meter Reading
Status shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in
the List of Values & this is the problem.
We have kept the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset,
Multiprovider, Query = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
When we delete the "Restricted Key Figure" from the SAP BI Query, the
refreshed Universe and Webi have a complete set of List of Values
applicable.
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Create Infoset
2. Create SAP BI Query on Infoset
3. Create Restricted Key Figure for Number of Records and few of the
values for a characteristic info-object "X".
4. Create BO Universe on SAP BI Query
5. Create Webi on BO Universe
6. Create a Prompt on the characteristic info-object "X".
7. Check List of Values for the characteristic info-object "X" in SAP
BI Query and WebI.
8. LOVs in WebI are equal to the values used for restriction in the
restricted key figure.
9. Delete the restricted key figure from SAP BI Query.
10. Refresh Universe
11. Webi prompt shows all the values for the prompt on "X". -
Performance Issue with Webi report uses SAP BI Query as the data source
Hello.
I have created a Webi ad-hoc report which connects to a SAP BI query through BO OLAP universe.
The layout of Webi is the exactly the same as the BI query. There are filters in the Webi to restrict the number of data extraction, but even with data result of 5000 rows, it took about 30 seconds.
If I execute the BI query with the same filter restriction, it tooks less than 10 seconds.
It seems that large percentage of time is consumed at the MDX part.
Is there any tuning method that could speed up the process time of MDX?
Thank you.
Justine
Edited by: Justine Liu on Mar 18, 2009 6:59 AMHi,
please take a look here:
[https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1142664] (Look under related notes)
It includes references to various performance improvements of the MDX interface. From what I saw there it is advisable to upgrade your SAP BI (7.0) up to at least Support Package 21 (you are currently on SP 15).
This may also be interesting for you: There is a new Fix Pack 1.4 coming out for BOBJ XI 3.1. Combined with the related SAP Enh.Pack (not sure about the version of this one) should also improve WebI performance. This fix pack is not yet officially released though but it should not take look.
I recommend that you try the upgrade to Support Package 21 first.
BTW it is also advisable to take a look in the results of your MDX query (e.g using the MDXTEST transaction). You should make sure that your query is indeed restricted as expected. Sometimes the results you see in SAP native reporting tools (e.g. BEx Analyzer) differ from those returned from the MDX component, depending on the way variables/restrictions where defined in the query designer. It is all about making sure that there is no apples/oranges comparison here.

Webi Report Against SAP BW Query Fails When Scheduled
Hi all,
I'm facin a problem with all my Web intelligence Reports. When i refresh them on demand from view or design mode, everything works fine, but when i schedule them all instances fails with this error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[DF4LK70NQJ0KRU6XHODIE9TGA], [Measures].[3EG3OC7QZBODSE9J2JI4OLOPI], [Measures].[CXDGYOWE9FJFHS72KIO78WGTT], [Measures].[12C28AI1LLXSDEHMWCDUMJWCW], [Measures].[E2OE5J39YBUPP4IPZCX1HNHZX], [Measures].[5X2TIT4FSFEBHYFDEFACO2DCF], [Measures].[E6WGO3AACYBZ20ZIHZF28Y9TT], [Measures].[CB1PAR1H2KF21CWAY6G3NP2WK], [Measures].[8GZAGANUUZA7B2V59A5FBB5BO] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [ZSOLTYPE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0CALMONTH].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0MATL_GROUP].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0MATERIAL__0MATL_TYPE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0COMPL_DEL].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0BBP_STATUS].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PLANT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ) ON ROWS FROM [CUBE_NAME/QUERY_NAME] SAP VARIABLES [ENTFINAL] INCLUDING X [0I_CALZ2] INCLUDING ENE 2008 : MAR 2008 failed to execute with the error FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND. (WIS 10901) .
BO is XI3.0, BW 3.5, Universe made from a SAP BW Query.
Thanks in advance!Hi Ingo,
All the authorizations for crystal report to fetch data is in place, and crystal report refresh and schedule runs success fully. The issue is only in Web Intelligence.
If it is same as crystal report we should see similar results for crystal report, which is not the case as of now. Crystal report refreshes without any error and we can able to schedule it without any problem.
As it is said earlier, SAP secuirty guy doesnt find any missing authorizations. It is very difficult to say which authorization is missing.

Run-Time error '-2147417848 (80010108) in Crystal Report on SAP BW Query
I have installed Crystal Report 2008 SP1 and the Business Objects Integration kit for 3.1 but when I try to create a report on top of an SAP BW query using the toolbar, after entering the logon parameters for SAP BW, I get a error message :
Run-Time error '-2147417848 (80010108)
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
CR exits after this error message.
I have tried uninstalling the Kit and CR, cleaning up the registry, and installing it again and still got this error message - It is the same for all my SAP BWs.
Anyone ever had this?
Thank you,
R.Is this still an issue?

Re: Crystal Report and SAP BW Query with Variable
Crystal Report 2008 V1 SP3 and SAP Integration Kits 3.1 SP3 installed on my client machine.
I can open SAP BW Query in Crystal Report. However, in the Field Explorer >Database Fields, I dont see to be able to expan the Query and see it Key Figure/Characteristic.
I noticed this happen only if we have Variable defined in the Charactics.
If the characteristic has no variable, then I can expand the Query under Database Fields.
Do you have this problem?Yes, once I have imported the new SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 transports into BW system, I can now expand the it.
I can now see the Variable in Crystal Report.
Thanks!
