Sort characteristic in web report is done by description instead of key

Guru's,
We've build a web report. In the row we use characteristic 0FUNDS_CTR. We show both key and description. When we sort this characteristic it is done on description, not on the key.
How can we sort on the key???
Regards,
René

Hi:
DId you go to the InfoObject properties in Query Designer.
Its right there.
More into:
Right Click on the InfoObject in the Query Designer (in Rows)
Go down there and see Sort Order. Make the check box - ON.
Here, give the preferences by KEY, Ascending, etc.

Sort function in web report using servlet

Dear all
Please help me this out. I'm doing an online report using servlet. When the report is displayed as a table on the web, is there a way to have a sort function-when you click on the tabs, it will sort the data accordingly.
If I didn't state my question clearly, please let me know.
Thank you all for your kind help!
Grace

You could probably do that using Javascript, but it's beyond my competence to even suggest how. Alternatively you could make the tabs behave as buttons that send a "sort me" request to the server, which would send out new, resorted, HTML.

Print Web report and don't print text but print frames

Hello , I am running a report by web browser, everything is ok and I can see that, now I want to print it so I put DESTYPE = printer and DESNAME =\\machine\printer then, when I print the report there is no mistakes but I dont know why I get a page without any character .. The frames print ok! all print ok but not the text, I test using diferent colors for the text but nothing .. could you help me please? this is really strange :( there is no message of error.

Also I for got .. This is the configuration :
Oracle IAS Release 1
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.2.0 - 64bit Production
Windows 2000 Server
Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3
The printer is HP LaserJet 8000 Series PS
8000 Series PS-172.20.6.100
I have a very simple report that works fine
for example if I put this link:
http://pelma1w2dws03/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?hidden_run_parameters=np_sr_lov_choose_showrooms&destype=cache
I can see my report in web without any trouble
but when I try to print:
http://pelma1w2dws03/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?
hidden_run_parameters=np_sr_lov_choose_showrooms&destype=printer&desname=\\PELMA1W2PCS04\PELMA1PIT0601
then I received a message of print succesfully but when I see the print
there is no text, it print images, frames, and there is an space where I expect the text but there is no text and no messages of error.

Is this report feasible either in Bex or web reporting?

I've following records in cube.
Material Date Qty
Mat1 04/30/08 400
Mat1 05/04/08 500
Mat1 05/05/08 650
Mat1 05/06/08 720
I'm looking for a report as follows. Is it possible?
rows----
Qty in columns restricted with date
Material----
          05/04/08 05/05/08 05/06/08
Mat1----
                100       250         320
above derivation is based on - "qty" in columns restricted with date but also "qty" up-to-date needs to be substracted from ( prior-month-end which in our case is 4/30/2008 qty).
Material------- 05/04/08 05/05/08 05/06/08
Mat1----
500-400 650-400    720-400
so, for example, 05/05/08 Qty (650) column needs to be substracted from 4/30/08 Qty (400) for the output of 05/05/08 column which is 650 - 400 = 250
I've created user exit variable on date to determine prior-month end date so, i'm getting 4/30/08 in our case into this date user exit variable.
but, my problem is, as long as i put date in columns which is restricted with user-input range as 5/4/08 to 5/6/08, I'm unable to get qty of 4/30/08 into the columns for substraction purpose.
Is there a workaround to get this? I'm trying either in BeX query or Web reporting (we don't want to use excel macros to achieve this)
Appreciate any help.

Search for display attributes in Web reporting

Hello,
When I execute a query in Excel, in the variable entry screen, I can search values for material, for example, using some display attributes as Colour or Size. I mean, I want to execute the report for materials whose colour is white. I can open the matchcode for Material, I select the value "white" for the Colour display attribute, and I get a list of all the materials with that colour. The report is executed for those materials.
However, when I execute the same report using Web reporting, I don't have the display attributes in the selection screen, to restrict the material. Once the report is executed, in the Navigational block, if I filter the material, there is an option called "Search for display attributes activated", where I can restrict per Colour, but only for one value.
I have two questions related to this topic:
1) Is it possible to have the functionality "Search for display attributes activated" in the variable entry screen, for Web reports, in the same way it is available in the reporting via Excel?
2) Is it possible to configure that functionality, in order to restrict several values for the display attribute at the same time (in my example, for Colours "white", "black" and "red" at the same time)?
Thanks very much for your help
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Looks like you have some new navigational attribute requirements, don't you think? I'm sure that would solve your issue, though maybe you're trying to avoid using navigational attributes (it is usually said that using navigational attributes is slower).
Maybe you can do a test on BEx to check if your query is considerably slower when filtering directly by material code (by filtering on the selection screen using display attributes) or using a navigational attribute.
Match codes on web reporting have lost some functionalities compared to BEx (such as importing a list of values from a file, for instance).

David.

Error while executing webi report

Hello Experts,
I created a universe using SAP BI query. Now I am using this query to create webi report. so while creating webi report i select 1 characteristics and 1 key figure from the universe and putting them on result objects pane.
After putting these object when I execute the report i get following error:
Database error: SOFA Driver : Catastrophic failure. Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
Can anyone suggest me how to resolve this error?
Regards,
Nirav Shah

yes, underlying queries work perfectly fine. Universe are created without any issue. However,in WebI, when I drag the any TWO objects under any class or even combination of one object and one measurement key, as soon as I refresh query, the error pops up. If there is JUST ONE object, no issue at all. I can see the data.
Mean...if there is more than one object in any WebI report, the error is thrown by WebI report. And this happens only while running WebI against SAP BW/BI, query or against any InfoCube.
Thanks

Launching a Bex web report in KM in a new window

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to configure KM so that it would launch a Bex web report in a new window
instead of being displayed in the innerpage area. The Bex web report is stored in a KM folder.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Regards,
Mel Calucin
Bentley Portal Architect

Hi Mel,
If you have already assigned the Bex report to a role, then you can open the bex iview and edit the property "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
If the report is still not created and is existing in the KM you can create a KM navigation iview or KM document iview and specify the document path where the iview is exisiting OR you can open the bex report, capture the URL of it and create a URL iview for the same... you might want to refer to this thread for more details.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/thread?threadID=1260067&tstart=0
And when the iview is ready and the content is getting displayed accordingly, if you want to open the iview in a new window instead of the portal content area, you would have to follow the instructions given above ie to edit the property of iview "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
Good Luck!

(Urgent) Sorting search help values in Web Report

Hello Friends,
We have a web report which uses a variable made on 0CALMONTH. The order of display of values for this variable search help is 02/2004, 03/2004, 01/2005, 07/2006, 08/2006, 05/2007. In this order we have the latest date (05/2007) displayed at the end of the list. What we want is that the values in the search help of 0CALMONTH should be displayed in the reverse order i.e. latest date first (05/2007, 08/2006, 07/2006... etc).
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Prem.

Hi Premanand,
If u display the report in Internet Explorer there you can see differnet buttons like
Save View, Book mark, Variable Screen etc...There click Save View give tech name and descryption. After Sorting use this in WAD instead selecting query , select this view and execute.
Assign Points Pls...

Live Office does not retain the Custom Sorting applied in a Webi report

Hi,
We have a Webi report in which we applied "Custom Sorting" to sort the Business Names in the required order. However, when we import that to excel using live office, excel doesnt retain the same format and there are not much options that are available within xcelsius to do the sorting. I have gone through various posts here but none resolved this specific issue.
Here is our environment:
Xcelsius 4.5
Live Office Frame work 11.5.5.525
BOXI R2 SP1 and MHF1
I tried using different options under "Report View formatting" within live office options but none seem to have made any difference. Unfortunately we can't make any changes to the universe in this case. I checked for few paid addon's but they seem to be for Xcelsius 2008. We have a release next week and would appreciate if any of you can guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks
Pavan

hi pavan
i can just tell you that i had no issues with custom column sorting in webi with Enterprise XI 3.0 and Xcelsius 2008.

Sort variable values in selection box in BEx web report.

Hello friends,
In my BEx web report I have cal/month selection. When I do dropdown to select values it starts with 01/1960 and I have to click 10 times to get to 01/2006, 02/2006 and so forth.
Is there a way to sort these values so I can get most current cal/month in first list?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
BJ

I would consider changing the read mode for the dropdown box. Are all of those dates actually relevant? Check out the properties of the dropdown box in WAD.
Thanks,

Scheduled Webi Reports Don't Open on iOS's MS Exchange Mail

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to write this post but I will try anyway.
We are using BO 4.0 SP6 and schedule webi reports as attached xlsx of pdf in e-mails.The problem is that the attached pdf's and excel files don't open right away in iPhone's native mail application when using MS Exchange. A tiny question mark shows up on the top corner of the attachment and when you tap on it, it asks which application to use to open it. We can choose iBooks app for example to view the file. We would like the attachment to open right away as we tap on it as it does usually.
Here are some test results:
-We have observed this issue on iOS 8. However, there are rumors that it started with iOS 7. Same rumors suggest that it would work fine before iOS 7.
-We use iOS' native mail application with a MS Exchange account set up.
-We have also tested it with a gmail account set up next to the exchange account. The attachment opened with no problem.
-If someone forwards the mail received from the BO server, to another exchange mail, the attachment opens just fine.
-We have no problem opening other exchange mails with attachments on mobile.
We suspect, the exchange mail can't confirm the sender address thus can't trust the attachment if it is really a pdf-excel file. So we tried scheduling the webi report with a valid mail address in the sender information box but it didn't work.
Has anyone came across such a problem?
I know this issue involve SAP, Apple and Microsoft and each one will point the other for the blame. But any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Emre,
Though this appears on Mobile, this belongs to Webi Product team. As the schedule of Webi reports and the email output would be controlled by them. They can work with Apple to identify the cause and fix the defect. Hence, you can post your question in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence
I would also recommend that you contact Webi Product Support through the official channel http://support.sap.com/incident

Characteristic values as hyperlinks in a web report

Hi All
I have a web report with only one characteristic and some key figures. And the number of values for that characteristics are 5 and they are always fixed (structure). In my report I need to make each of that characteristic value a hyper link. I have 5 separate reports which should be linked to these 5 characteristic values.
I think this can be achieved by using a table interface. If yes, could any one please provide me with the code for the method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL in the ABAP class?
Or, is there any other better solution?
Points will be assigned!
Thank you
