Saving variants in web reports

Hi,
We are on BI 7.0 and all our reports are accessed by users via the portal. Is there any way for the users to save their own variants from the web?
Thanks,
Raj

Madhu,
Did you ever resolve this issue when saving a BEx WebVariant . We are facing the same in our Development system, while it works OK in QA and Production.

Issue while opening saved web reports

Hi,
The web reports are saved as excel to local machine using 'Export to Excel' fuctionality.
But when the excel report is opened from local machine BW system requests a UID/PWD.
It is a Standard functionality when Hiearchy images are present in the web report.
One solution is to create an anonymous log in for the BEX service or MIME service or create an alias for the BEX service and use the same in the URl. But we can not implement any of these solutions now.
Is there any other solution existing for this like creating a class and create a service for the class and handle this logon issues at the class itself.
Can anybody please let me know how we can handle this?
Thanks in advance..

Hello Gokul,
first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.
best regards,
Victor

Variant for a Web Report

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was a way of creating a variant for a web report, the way we can create one for a BEx report. I would like to be able to store the variable values in a variant and then select one of the avaialable ones.
Thanks,
Doniv

The save as view functionality does exist in BW 3.x. The only difference is that it is not available as a web item. There is a template named 0publishing_template. This has the save view option available. The other way is directly from the Web Application Designer. Go to Tools --> View Definition --> Select either based on a query or based on another query view. Once this is done you can either create another web template with the view as your dataprovider or you can create a hyperlink in the role menu and use a URL like this:
http://servername/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=0query_template&data_provider_id=technical name view.
One thing to note is that views will save the variable entries. You can add VARIABLE_SCREEN="X" to force the display of the variable screen. To change the values in the variable screen add VARIABLES_CLEAR="X".
Hope this helps.

Webi Reports - Stale data when saved a pdf/xls

Hi Webi Guru's - we have a peculiar issue in our BOBJ Production system.
To give you a bit of background on our production system - is hosted on
O/S - EL 2.6
Database - Oracle 11g
IE version - 9
2 Tomcat 6 servers, load balanced using F5 load balancer
3 CMC cluster servers and 1 Oracle Database server
CMC has BW 731 authentication
Problem Description -
Open any WEBI report. Pass a set of parameters. Most of the reports have from and todate as input parameters.
On the first attempt we pass the fromdate = 5th May 2014, todate = 10th May 2014. Save the report as pdf/xls file. Saves with the correct data.
Refresh the webi report - provide different set of date range as, fromdate = 12th May 2014, todate = 20th May 2014. Save the report as pdf/xls file. This time though the report brings out correct data set, when saved as a pdf/xls file, saves with data from date range that was passed the first time which was fromdate = 5th May 2014, todate = 10th May 2014
Have checked with our network team regarding if caching is enabled on tge F5 loadbalancer - an there is none.
I did raise a incident with SAP support and it was closed down saying it is a third party issue at the load balancer level and recomended that I could check with the SCN community..
Has anyone in the BI/BOcommumity come across this sort of problem before where you you have split installations and your web server is load balanced.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Savitha

Hi Amit - thanks for your reply.
If we run the reports directly from both the Web/Tomcat server - we get the correct result set saved in the PDF/XLS file. But it is not the case when we access the reports from the Load balanced URL. When we went live initially we had only one tomcat server, due to performanance issues we added additional tomcat server and since then we are noticing this issue.
The immediate thing that came to our mind was - if there was a caching option enabled at the load balancer level. The network team have confirmed that it is not the case.
We have enabled HTTPWatch to see if there was anything obvious we could spot - but there is nothing from the logs which stands out either.
The issue is only when we save the reports as in PDF/XLS format - saves the data with prompts from the previous refresh.
Hope it all makes sense.
Thanks
Savitha

Saving Webi Report as Excel

Hi there,
I have got a webi report that, when run, produces over 65000 records. When I try to save the output as an excel spreadsheet it defaults to Excel 97 - 2003 even though I've got 97-2003 and 2007 versions on my machine. If I use this option it only saves the first 65000 records and discards the rest.
Is there any way of saving the output as a 2007 excel spreadsheet so that I get all of the records.
The version of webi I'm using is 11.0.0.1952
Many thanks for any help.

Hi Stuart,
Excel-2007 supports more than 65000 rows but unfortunately BO doesnu2019t support the format .xlsx as of now.
Even using the Excel-2007 you wonu2019t get the option .xlsx . If you try to use All Files(*) to select .xlsx you will get warning: 'Invalid setting in the Excel Key of the Engines section of the Windows Registry'.
I Hope this Helpsu2026
Thanksu2026

Issues while saving the Webi Report locally in pdf and Excel Format

Hi,
I am getting issues with the images on a Webi Report when I try to save the reports locally on my machine in either a pdf format or in an Excel Format.
I think the issue is that when I am trying to save the report it saves the address of the image binded in the report but it doesn't save the image/download the image and when the report is opened locally it couldn't refer to the image location.
I am using BOXIR2 with SP2.8.
I am not sure what should be the right solution for this. Any insight or resolution will definitely be helpful.

Hi;
I would investigate on the load balancer and/or Apache front end servers, are you sure you don't have a keep alive setting enabled somewhere on one of these servers? in the Tomcat connector maybe?
Regards;
Lionel

Problem withdata while saving the Webi Report in Excel

Hi All,
Just Now we migrated our Webi reports on 4.1.
When I am schduling report in excel In my report some ? sign will come.
If I do save -> save as Excel it will save properly but Save as execel 2007 It will save ? marks in some column.
Schdule in execl also doing same.please see following screen shot.
Please guide me how to sort out this issue.

Hi Ganesh,
The reason behind the issue could be UTF-8 encoding.
We can try to convert the encoding to ANSI and check if the issue persists.
Can you use Webi Rich Client on client machine? If yes then follow the below steps on client machine:
1. Right Click on My Computer and go to Properties.
2. Inside Advanced tab, click on 'Environment Variables'.
3. Create user/system variable with name "BO_UTF_BOM" and put "any text" as its value.
Restart your machine. Log into Rich client and again try to save your report in Excel.

To integrate a web report in a web application

hi,
i have created a web report using ReportBuilder (wizard).
i have saved that file as a jsp,
my question is can i integrate that web report in any web application ,if yes how? plz let me know.
thx
abdul.

Hi Abdul,
The answer is yes, you can integrate your report in any web application as any other normal JSP. You can package the JSP as part of a WAR and deploy it on an application server. The only requirements are:
reports_tld.jar must be available to the application. You can put in inside the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web application.
Reports Server must be available to the JSP. If you are using Oracle9iAS for deploying the JSP, the Reports server is automatically available. If you are using some other application server like WebLogic, you can use the J2EE Thin Client (http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/Tools/index.html)
Also see the following thread on this Forum for deployment instructions:

Data of measure is not seen in webi report when drill is disabled

Hi
i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
the problem is that i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
the object on which im drilling is set as a section in the report
so i have added a measure in the table under that section
now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different measure
for all other level of drilling
every thing is working fine but the problem is
when i open report in view mode
the measure data is not seen
only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
i have done something like thi
i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

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
