Security - View InfoAreas in BEX

Hi !!
I cannot see any InfoArea in BEX, when i try to create or open a query the list is empty, so i asume that is a security issue.
So, can anyone help about this ? because i dont have knowledge about security
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
You can see Infoarea, only if there are any queries in it. Otherwise it should definitely be a security issue as u said. Well you can check the behavior of 'BEx open' dialog box in the following link.

Custom secure views report is not restricting the data

Hi,
I have created few custom secure views reports and in which I have used the per_people_f , per_assignments_f secure views but when I am running this report from different responsibilities like (US Resp, UK Resp) it is producing the same number of records. From US resp it should produce the US employees and from UK it should produce the UK employees but this is not happening currently.it is a simple sql script which I registered as sql*plus executable.
Can any one suggest if I am missing some thing? Urgent help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions. How have you implemented security ? What kind of concurrent program are you using ? Pl provide details. Also see these MOS Docs

Create a View with two BEx Queries in BEx

Hi Experts,
I have got a scenario where in I have to create a single view on two BEx queries. Can any one give me the necessary steps to create the View?
Awaiting for your reply,
Thanks in advance,
With kind regards,
Shreeem

Hi Shreem,
I think that can be easily done. Check the below thread
WAD - Integration of multiple queries
Also see If you can include the two queries in a workbook and maybe later you can try creating a view on it?
Thanks

Secure View Problem

Hi ,
As you know there are some secure views in EBS tables.In order to see the data you have to change client by using set_client_info.This causes a problem while running the mappings.You cant see any data at the source tables because of this security issue.As I read from forums I have to create a procedure for that.But in my procedure I dont have any input or output variables.I want to run this procedure or script before the mapping.So I think I should have use pre-mapping operator.But how can I use this script/procedure
begin
dbms_application_info.SET_CLIENT_INFO('1111');
end;
with pre-mapping operator without any input and output variables.
or is there anyway to run/execute custom script before the mapping.
Thanks for fast replies...

Hi ,
I think there is a problem with my sql.Because when I ran my process without sqlplus operator it works.The problem occurs when I add sqlplus operator.Do you think this syntax is correct ;
begin
dbms_application_info.SET_CLIENT_INFO('110');
end;
Do I have to add declare to the beginning and exit to end?.
declare
begin
dbms_application_info.SET_CLIENT_INFO('110');
end;
exit;
The sqlplus script should be like that? and is there anyway to check the sql syntax from owb?
Thanks...

Download security viewer for BO XI R3

where can i download the security viewer for Bo XI R3?

I've requested that security viewer be created for 3.0 and it hasn't so far. I will look into places where customers can request such things. As far as I know it's not planned for 3.x. The query in 3.x will allow a more direct view but nothing really replaces the functionality that we had in XIR2. Also try (from user security) to "view security" for particular users/groups. This option has been more helpful than the security query for me...

Tim

Please send me also Essbase Security Viewer.xls.

Are you talking about the Advanced Security Manager?

Multi pass bursting of a Crystal report on business view with a bex query

In BO CMC, we have a group with a list of user.
The idea is to burst (via the multi pass bursting method) a Crystal report for this list of user with the constraint that this report should only contains data of the store linked to the user.
Our data comes from a SAP BI cube.
The link between a Store and a User comes from an other system.
We have build a bex query and use it as a data source of a Crystal Data Foundation.
In this Data Foundation we have an other table storing the user ID and the Store ID.
These 2 tables are linked in this Data Foundation on the Store ID.
Business element and Business View have also been created on top of this Data Foundation.
We have impletemented a filter in this Data Foundation to filter out data on the user id. This user id will be filled when bursting the report for all requested users thanks to this function :.
As a user is linked to one store, the data foundation will filter the data coming from the bex query and show only the data of the user's store.
We have build a crystal report using the business view created above as data source. We have made some test on a small amount of data and it works, data are correctly filter out and the reports shows only the data from one store.
But the problem is that we have a lot of stores (more than 600) and doing this way implies that the bex query will always return the data for all the stores as the filter will occurs in the data foundation and not on the bex query.
We need to find a way to make the bex query returning only the data of the store linked to the user for which we burst the report.
As we have more than 600 stores this was an idea to avoid managing more than 600 under BO groups or more than 600 different filters.
This solution do not work when the bex query result set is too large.
Does anyone has an idea on how to implement such "dynamic" filter in the bex query? The parameter is the user ID but the filter to be applied on the bex query is on the store ID.
We are under BO XI release 2, Crystal XI Release 2 and we have installed the BO release 2 integration kit for SAP

How to bring InfoAreas into BEx Analyzer

Hi Experts,
Q1: I have a total of 24 InfoAreas in InfoProvider(Admn Workbench), but I do see only 7 of them in Open Query dialog box of BEx Analyzer. How do I bring in a particular InfoArea(and all related objects) into Open Query Dialog box.
Q2: I want to see all the queries in Transport Connection's Query Elements(for selection to transport). I have 7 queries in BEx, but I could see only 2 in Transport Connection.
Please help.

Hi,
You can only see those for which you have queries created...to see all, click on the new query icon (blank page).
You can click on Select Objects and look for the other queries. The list is just like some 'history' viewing.
Hope this helps...

Cannot see the infoareas through Bex

Hi:
I have requested for and got BI Admin access for a Dev APO server (SCM 7.0). I tried to logon to the Bex query designer but cannot see the infoareas (or the cubes underneath them). There are several infoareas and cubes on the server when I look at them through RSA1.
What am I doing wrong and what should I request for?
Also, the report designer does not come up for some reason. A window is coming up saying that the report designer stopped working, etc. (this is the standard windows message when a program takes too long, etc.)
Appreciate your help with both of these issues.
Satish

The infoareas should show up regardless of whether we have built a query or not. I worked with the security and after a step by step analysis, could finally get to see the infoareas.
Regarding the other issue with Report Designer, it was the same problem described in the thread below
Error message in Report designer "Activate Default Theme: 0TRADESHOW"
The issue was that unless the theme was added through transaction RSOR or RSORBCT, it was acting up when it was trying to come up. After the theme was added, report designer came up fine.
Thanks everyone,
Satish

Hi,
Try to use some function module which will convert query data into flat tables. (eg., RS_VC_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA_FLAT).
Hope this solves your issue.

Personalization and History view in the BEx Open dialog box

We have personalization activated for BEx and have turned it on for :
     -Activate BEx History ON
     -Variables Personalization ON
     -Web Report Personalization ON
When users log in the History button appears when they attempt to open a BEx Query.
However when they click the History button the message "No Objects Found" appears.
These users have opened queries in the past and are not new IDs. We also created test IDs and generated some history by running queries and workbooks. When these test IDs try to open queries the history button still says "No Objects Found".
We are on NW2004s BI. Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this functionality is not working properly?
thank you in advance.

What versions of Photoshop and Windows are you running?
I ask, because running Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7 x64 when I select a view - e.g., Large Icons (which yields thumbnails) it sticks. Make sure you actually open a file after making the change.

Unable to view report from Bex Report Designer

Hi,
When I log on to Bex Report Designer, I click execute button, it is giving a blank page. It is neither giving any error nor any message. We have recently installed NW2004s and BI Cont 703. Now my problem is how to make report visible in the BEX Report Designer.
Thanks,
Subhani

Dear Prakash,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have religiously followed your Blog. As far as I know any one who wanna setup BEx has to follow this. It is the one place where all the settings related to BEx front end were discussed and disclosed. Thanks a lot for your exemplary attempt.
Though you have mentioned about the .NET frame work I could not understand how it will effect the "insert" menu of BEx report designer. But i have checked that also and its matching with your recommendations.
My question is pretty simple. With sapgui6.40compilation5 with all the latest patches both for gui, BW and BI. Will i get the options of "Report section", "Report section based on Querry"in the "insert" menu of BEx report designer.
The mentioned options "Report section", "Report section based on Querry" were shown in the webnair of BEx report designer. Pls check the link:
(As per the SDN these menu items should be available in BEx report designer..Pls observe the Insert menu in the very first few seconds)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9c059b57-0701-0010-3283-e5e8669f827e
We have installed and upgraded the system to spstack 8 and done all the settings. Our front end is also updated with the service packs. But we could not get those options. If you can give me your mail id i can send you the screen shots.
Thanks & Regards,

Filter of viewing details at BEx level possible?

Hi Guys
I would like to know if we can filter the users to view records only related to him and the users who is working under him and no other users at Report design level OR it is possible only by assigning roles to the users under Tcode PFCG.
Thansk & Regards,
Rohini

Hi!
Thanks Somnath and Antonino
I got another query on this.Lets me explian you what is mainted at our system.
There is a auhtorization object maintained in Tcode RSSM, then there are 3 roles maintained at Tcode PFCG. but for one of the role that is manager role no authorization is maintained. And in the Query the same info object is used as authorization variable.
So here one thing is not clear to me is where is the data filtered depending upon the user. Like when the user is manager then he is able to his details and the users direct reporting to him and when the user is general user then he is able to details only related to him. And both this users are viewing the same reports. how and where is this filtering of data happening?
Thanks & Regards,
Rohini
