Scaling Prompt in BW BEx Query Universe

I would like to build a prompt into a universe that allows for a selection of scaling by the report user.
For example, User is presented with a prompt for 1, 1000, or 1000000, and the WEBI report shows it is 1's, thousands, or millions depending on the user's input.
I am struggling with both the location (doesn't seem to be a condition/filter), and the syntax (my MDX does not seem to work properly since it's not filtering to an object)
Can anyone please enlighten me on how to solve this seemingly simple issue?
Thanks in advance.

END date=FormatDate(ToDate(Right([DateD];Pos([DateD];";")+1);"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/MM/yyyy")
the above formula wont work when we enter 9/12/0214 or 9/2/2014
so use this formula
Substr([DateD];Pos([DateD];";")+1;Length([DateD]))
END date=FormatDate(ToDate(Substr([DateD];Pos([DateD];";")+1;Length([DateD]));"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/MM/yyyy")
the above formula is work fine

R/3 Infoset -- Bex Query -- Universe -- WebI / Xcelsius

Hi there,
i got a hint that it should be possible to connect an Infoset with a Bex Query, but i'm not sure if they mean a R/3 Infoset or a BI Infoset. I know that a connection from an universe to an BI Infoset works but does this also work for an R/3 Infoset ?
Thanks Sebastian

Hi,
This Infoset is an BI Infoset not R/3 infoset.
We dont have an directoption to connect either WebI/Xcelsius with R/3.If you want to connect Xcelsius with R/3 we have to us Data Federator.Here we have an option to use FM,Infoset Query.

Unable to sequence the prompts as mentioned in Bex Query

Hi,
We are unable to sequence the prompt order in web i report which is build up on Bex query.
We have follwed the prompts order in Bex query,
When we build a web i report the sequence of prompts is not coming as expected, rather its taking in alphabetical order.
Please help us in ordering the sequence of the prompts in Web i.
Thanks in Advance,
Swaraj.

Hi,
Part of this other post I just answered, so I'll leave the same info here...
This is a known behavior, but I know it is bugging more people, because the same is true for (normal) universe based prompts.
They also cannot be 'arranged'. Since the Bex query is the 'universe', ordering that has been set in the 'universe' is the only chance you have.
Like with the universe you could use prefixes to separate them from the query defined prompts (based on an alphabetic sort of the prompt message). I'd say this is a good one for the idea place...
(actually it is there, part of this one... [https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/2377])
Vote for it if you want this happening.
Good luck,
Marianne

Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

Hi,
Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
Thanks in advance!

In that situation:
Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
@ Report:
As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
Hope it helps you.
Thank You!!

Olap Universe Based on BEx Query - Cascading Prompt

I need to get two prompts: 1) Division 2) Group. Division has to be selected first and then Group. I understand I have to create cascading prompt. In the universe, in default hierarchy, group stands before before division. I have created a custon hierarchy like: Division, Group. I used Tools -> List of Values ->Create cascading list of values and then selected the right dimensions and then clicked on Generate LOVs. Then I have exported it to the repository. But I cannot see any reflection at the report level. So, some questions came in my mind:
1) Where can I check in the universe whether my cascading prompt has been created or not ?
2) I am using L01 Dimension. But underneath, there are two dimensions called LovDivision and LoVDivisionBase which are in Italic. I believe integration kit creates this. It is the same as Group. So, my question is: Am I selecting the right dimesnsions ? Or, should I select those in Italic.
3) Actually, these two prompts (variables) [along with others] are already created in BEx which I can see in my report. My plan is, if my cascading prompts work, I will tell the BW developer to remove those two. Do you think that these existing prompts are creating any problem.
I would really appreciate your response.

Hi
1) Where can I check in the universe whether my cascading prompt has been created or not ?
Have you entered the cascading object in the webi query condition.At the run time it will generate hierarchy in the tree structure.
2) I am using L01 Dimension. But underneath, there are two dimensions called LovDivision and LoVDivisionBase which are in Italic. I believe integration kit creates this. It is the same as Group. So, my question is: Am I selecting the right dimensions ? Or, should I select those in Italic.
correct you are using right objects L01.By mdx driver it will create by default L00 and L01 objects.neglect the Lo00 objects.You can hide them in the universe or go to refresh structure and their is option to replace L00 definition with some other definition.
3) Actually, these two prompts (variables) along with others are already created in BEx which I can see in my report. My plan is, if my cascading prompts work, I will tell the BW developer to remove those two. Do you think that these existing prompts are creating any problem.
By default when you are creating universe based on the mdx drivers it will convert Bex query filters in the universe condition as mandatory filter and applied on the full universe.
You can go to the universe condition and open the condition and unchecked the option from their and after that these will not prompt in the webi query.
Thanks,
Amit

Cnnection error while creating universe on Bex Query in BW

Hi
I am getting connection error while connecting to BW Bex query.
The error i am getting while creating universe is A runtime exception has occured Error getting levels for hierarchy dimension .....:Unknown error.
After this
Also while creating universe no key figures/measures are getting generated from Bex query to designer.
Also in Bex query which are created as mandatory variables comes as Prompts in webi.
But when I try to parse in Condition filter it is throwing error.
Currently that mandatory variable is From Date and To Date
Is we require to change the prompt syntax in Condition filter.
Also kindly suggest solution for Connection error as impemtation is getting affected.
Regards
Gaurav Mang

Hi
R u saying allow external acces in BEX query.This option in Bex Query designer.
Or In whether while creating universes under properties tab there is use of OLAP universes option has to be made to Yes.
This both things we have tried
Let me know any other option to be tried.

Custom Filter in Universe on top of BEX Query is not working in BO Explorer?

Hi,
I have created Condition(Filter) for an Dimension Object "Submitted by Group Hierarchy" in Universe designer tool on top of SAP BEx Query and then exported the universe to Repository.
<FILTER KEY="@Select(Submitted By Group Hierarchy\L01 Submitted By Group Hierarchy).[TECH_NAME]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Submitted By Group ','A',' Submitted By Group Hierarchy\L01 Submitted By Group Hierarchy',multi,primary_key,,{‘Direct Sales’)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
To test my custom filter , I have created WEBI report and its allowing input entry in my custom filter and output is also coming .
where as in Explorer, i am not able to enter input values for my custom filter as below.
Can anyone suggest me how to create custom filter in universe and use it in explorer.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramana.

Hi Ramana,
Please try using 'mono' in place of multi in @prompt syntax and then test.

Unwanted LOVs - Universe on a BEx query on top of a Multiprovider

BO XI 3.1
BW 7.01
OLAP Universe on a BEx query
BEx query on top of a Multiprovider
Multiprovider on 2 DSOs; lets say DSO1 and DSO2
BEx query has a global filter for "INFOPROVIDER = DSO1"
BEx query has a user input variable defined for "Field1" (Field1 is present in both DSOs)
In BEx, F4 on Field1 variable entry gives the values of Field1 from DSO1. (which is what we want)
Expected LOVs for the generated prompt for Field1 in the WEBI report: Values of Field1 from DSO1
Problem:
Actual LOVs returned in WEBI report: Values of Field1 from both DSO1 and DSO2
Has anyone faced this before?
Thank you

> I have a suspicion the BEX property 'only values in infoprovider' isn't picked up/consumed by the BAPIs used by the MDX interface.
That is correct. The BEx properties do not carry over to the BO side. In Webi 3.1 here are the default selections for LOVs (as far as I know)
OLAP universe against BEx query on an infoprovider (Infocube, DSO, Multiprovider) - Only values in Infoprovider
OLAP universe against BEx query on an Infoset - Values in the master data table
My understanding now is
OLAP universe against BEx query on a Multiprovider - Only values in ALL Infoproviders under the Multiprovider
Henry Banks wrote:

I have seen this note before and according to it you can set an RSADMIN parameter MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME and have more control over the LOVs.
MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME = "A" -> The read mode for all LOVs is Only values in master data
MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME = "I" -> The read mode for LOVs is either master data or infoprovider depending on the infoobject settings
Henry Banks wrote:
> It might be easier to have to 2 data providers for this document, if you don't already, for plan and actual; or 2 seperate bex queries.
Well, that would work but it would defeat the purpose of having a Multiprovider for logical partitioning, wouldn't it?

Cascading LOV in BEx Query OLAP Universe + BEx variable

Hi gurus,
we have an universe where a Cascading LOV has been defined based on a BO Hierarchy ( based on a BW hierarchy), the OLAP universe is based on a BEx query.
Now, when the users create a WebI report selecting a value from the value list, the Cascading LOV appears and the user selects the value, descending by the nodes.
We are analyzing the universe performance and we are testing to add some time BEx variables in the query ( in the current version no variables are used).
Everything works properly but when we try to select a value from the Cascading LOV and try to select a lower level the webI returns a mdx error indicanting that the time variable is not informed. (WIS 10901: A database error ocurred; MDX query can not be executed: specify a value for the variable Z... )
We thought that the mdx for the LOV get values from the MD table because in the infoobject definition, it has the Business Explorer Settings:
Query Def. Filter Value Selection = Value in Master Data Table
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn = Value in Master Data Table
The Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn can be defined at the infoprovider also (with the provider specific Properties of the infoobject) and also at the query, whe have not modify none of them.
My first question is which settings has efect at OLAP Universes, the infoobject settings; the infocube settings or the query settings ?
Are the Cascading LOV integrated with BEx Query OLAP Universe?
Is it an application error?
Many Thanks in advanced.
Best Regards,
Nuria

Hi Ingo,
many thanks for your quick answer.
That was one of the possibilities we have analized but the problem is that the user has to inform the hierarchy level for all the reports, that kind of variables is translated in the universe as a prompt
Now we have only one universe and some business analists users create reports themselves for the business area based on that universe.
The users create WebI filters without prompts,just filtering the hierarchy node. If we add the BEx variable then the user sould inform the prompt for all the reports based on that universe.
We want to avoid that prompt, we have several hierarchies in the query for different infoobjects.
Thanks again.
Best Regards,
Nuria

Universe on Bex Query with Condition

Hi,
I'm working on creating a WebI version of a Bex Report. I've created a universe on top of the Bex Query and then a WebI report based on the Universe. The Bex Query contains 4 conditions. They allow optional filtering of two measures, Less Then or Equal and Greater Then or Equal. The conditions are applied at the employee level of the results set, so for example, if an employee's total sales is greater than 50 and the user enters 50 for the condition then none of that employee's rows of data will appear.
A single filter was created in teh Universe containing all four conditions. I had to update the syntax as they were all brought in using Equals instead of the GreaterorEqual and LessOrEqual. I also updated the filter key to use the @Select and the correct dimension.
In the WebI report, only the two using LessOrEqual are functional. The two conditions that utilize GreaterOrEqual will only remove individual rows, not the enter set of rows for that employee. I've set the aggregation to sum instead of Database Delegated for the two affected measures.
If anyone has any input on how to get the GreaterOrEqual conditions functioning properly, or a workaround that will remove all rows for an employee when their sales are not above a cert number, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Also here is the syntax for one of the filters that is not functioning properly.
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="@Select(Total Quantity of Adjustments\Total Quantity of Adjustments)"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="GreaterOrEqual"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Minimum Quantity of Adjustments','N',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>

Variables from BEx Query through Universe - separated by data provider

Hi,
I have a universe that is being used multiple times within a WEBI report, however, I'd like to select the BEx Queries' variables that come through as prompts separated by query. (multiple queries, multiple prompts; one for each)
For example, I have variables that come through for Exchange Rate type, and I'd like to select query 1 as Exchange Rate Type A, and select query 2 as Exchange Rate type B. At present, the prompting only offers me one input for all data providers that is the same.
A similar functionality exists within BEx Analyzer that is a workbook setting, does something like this exist on WEBI or in the Designer?
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure if anything like what you ask exists.
In such cases I create the prompts in WEBI that gives me control to define the prompts separately for each query.

Webi Report showing incorrect prompt from bex query

Hello Gurus:
I am facing a unique problem.
I have a BEx Query which has a variable. I have built implement a BADI which restricts the variable values for the BEx Query.
I have created an Universe on top of the BEx Query. And I have created a webi Report on top of the Universe.
The Webi Report when run does not use the Webi Prompt values, in other words it ignores the restrictions that I have placed on the variables. Instead it displays the whole list.
Am I missing anything. Can some please help.
Thanks
EmJay

Hi,
select at least one key figure in the webi report and then try.
Thanks,

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.

Didier

Need to remove prompts which is comes from Bex query

Dear Experts,
Currently i am working in webi report (4.0 SP2), Back end of this webi report is SAP Bex query, created by using BICS Connection. In bex query we have created different variables on Company code,vendor, business area, key date etc. from this company code and key date are mandatory variables.
My Bex users need input screen to execute the report as per their requirement. But my webi users don't required any prompts. they want to manipulate data by using input controls.
Req : How to avoid variables (Prompts) which is coming from bex?
Regards,
PRK.

Hi Praveen,
As per my knowledge, We can not remove mandatory BEx variables from the Webi prompt screen. Value for mandatory Query Variable has to be pass from Webi report.
You can create another Bex Query without any variable and need to use for reporting in Webi.

Creating a Universe on Bex Query --- Information Design Tool 4.0

Hi,
I am creating a Universe on a BeX Query, based on my understanding from the documentation i dont have to create a data foundation layer and i can directly call the connection in the Business Layer.
when I create a business layer and select OLAP connection (BICS connection), I get an error "this connection is not supported".
I was trying to look for a solution but i haven't found anything yet. Did anyone else encounter this issue. Please Share.
Regards,
Sheikh Hassan Ayub

HI there,
I read somewhere that the support for BEx Queries are done via Relational Connection. However, the BICS connection is only available via OLAP connection.
I was able to successfully create an OLAP Connection with BEx Queries. However when I do a Business Layer with this OLAP connection it says ERROR, not supported.
I havent tested creating a relational and thus having a Data Foundation yet as I am still have issues with my installation with ports.
Anyway, let me know if you are able to create a relational connection.
I'd be interested to hear your experience.
Regards,
Iris
P.S. the connection needs to be published.
