SAP HR Dashboarding/Reporting using BW or BO?

I need you suggestion in our BW HR implementation, like Payroll, Time Mgt, Employee Relations, Learning & Dev etc..
All our reports are currently in SAP BO XI3.1, since we dont have any reports in BW, i am trying to avaluate the PROS and CONS of HR Dashboard Reporting in BO. Is BO tool XCelcius Capable for HR Dashboarding or what is the best Dashbording option for HR,
1) I would like to know how are HR BW Reports handled in BO tools(XCelcius/WebI) in view of HR Time Dependant data.
2) How is BW HR Authorizations handled for Payroll and Training moduled etc.
3) How will BO Dashboard Inherit the Authorization

You can leverage the BOE enterprise security and other features if you use Xcelsius.
You can also leverage your existing Universe and use 'QaaWS' - Query as WebService as the connection model and using SSO feature - LDAP or WinAD authentication enable RowLevel security on the data as well (feature of Universe)
We have done many projects using the Xcelsius, QaaWS with Univers

Hi,
Here are the answer to your queries.
1) I would like to know how are HR BW Reports handled in BO tools(XCelcius/WebI) in view of HR Time Dependant data.Ans:- Time dependent data are handled in BO tools(XCelcius/WebI) in the same way as in BW reports. For, example if Pay Scale Group of an employee changes then same is reflected in the BW report, same in Webi and Xcelcius.
2) How is BW HR Authorizations handled for Payroll and Training moduled etc.Ans:- User should have the authorization for BEx report then only he can access the Webi report based on these BEx reports.
If, you want to see the reaport in Enterprise Portal(EP) then you need to create an iView and include ID of Webi reports in that portal, then add the users who can access these reports.
3) How will BO Dashboard Inherit the AuthorizationAns:- All the Authorizations are inherited automatically.

OBI Dashboards/Reports to RPD Link?

Hi, does anyone know how I can get the link between all the Presentation Catalogs in the RPD and which dashboards/reports they are used in?
For example I want to find out which dashboards/reports use columns from a particular Fact table which is in the RPD.
Many thanks.

Basically I need some sort of log which shows the mapping of every dashboard/report and states which columns/tables are used.
Therefore I can ascertain if I remove a table/column from the RPD then which dashboards/reports will be affected.

How do I create dashboard report in SAP B1

Hi ,
Currently I am using SAP B1 8.81 PL-06 with cockpit enabled. By default we have got in bulit sales Analysis , customer aging and service call reports, but what are the way to create our own dashboard reports. Is there any sources or methods to get Dashboard application ...Please share your views .....
Thanx
Note : In Widget gallery avaialble in download sdn site not solve the purpose ...

Hi,
To create your own dashboards you will need Xcelcius, with this you design your dashboard and can insert pretty much any query you need, you then add a Data Connection to retrieve the data from SAP Business One. Then you export it from Xcelcius as an .SWF file (Flash). Then, using the free SAP B1 Utilitiy Dashboard Packager you can then prepare it to be imported into SAP B1. You then import it, assign user permissions and Bobs your uncle.
I have very very much simplified it there, but there are plenty of examples on how to do this out there, happy to email you a couple if you wish, but you do need Xcelcius to create the dashboards to begin with.
Welcome to the small group that can design the dashboards (myself included) and welcome to all the headaches you are going to get with the B1 Integration Service and Event Sender disaster !
If I can help please let me know
Regards
Sean

2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

If I understood your question correctly.
Have a look in the link above.
It is possible to use Crystal Reports from ALV.
Tammy Powlas also has some good guides on how to do this.
The ABAP however is not covered that much.

Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

Hi All,
Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format. I'm currently running the following report in SAP and would like the
ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
much data manipulation. Can you please assist me. Below, I've tried to
provide an example of what I'm encountering. Thanks, beforehand for
your assistance.
Here goes:
Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
Inventory
Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter the
desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
selection noted in the tool bar below. The result is a data friendly
excel 2007 report is automatically generated.
Export to Excel via list:
Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
the report immediately. Now let go back and run the exact same report
with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID. Given the report generated in
the background, I would now access the report via the spool and make
the following selections:
SP01 + execute to see my report
I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
with. I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer. The currency
format and other issues arrise with this extract. Please help.
Thanks,
Chowadary.

Update to Latest GUI.
Use List -> Export -> Spreadsheet to get the output to excel.
I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

Standard SAP Reporting Using Classes and Characterstics

Hi Experts,
I am currently interested in if there are any options to using classes and characteristics within standard reporting in SAP ECC. I know some reports have the selection critiera and allow for other fields to be added to reports. Does anyone know the reports that use classes and characteristics or have the ability to use them. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,

Consultant 01,
I am not sure of the specifics of your question. The reporting approach depends on the objective of the reports and the business requirements. In general, transaction MC03 can be use to report via classification characteristics. This key figure reporting option covers many classifying attributes.
If you want to report using batch classification and characteristic values, BMBC offers options for reporting on batches. In this case you may use the classification tab of BMBC to enter the batch class for "search with batch class" and/or "search with selection class". The latter allows you to view and/or narrow your search by characteristic values.
I hope that this helps.
Regards,
Wayne
