i.e  it is sorting the Day field in Ascending order. but i want to display same as the source data.
Can anybody help on this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
   Thanks for your reply.  When we go for custom sort it works. But is there any way to get the data same as the Excel sheet.  My question is, here we can simply go for custom sort, because there are only 7 days to be ordered. but when we have number of rows in a report and the first field is Name then what we have to do to get the same data. For example,
Name       Day          Date      Status 
if the Excel data format is like this, then the name field is sorted. In this case as there are number of unique names we cant go for custom sort. What to do?
If any idea, Please Let me know.

  • Query as a web service Sorting issue

    Hi All,
    We have designed an existing BI query as a web service but it seems to be ignoring the Sort order of different characteristics used (as defined in Bex Query Designer).
    Using the Context menu in QAAS and defining/managing the Sort is not working.
    Has anyone experienced such an issue and how to handle this?
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi All,
    You can try this solution. It has something to do with the universe parameter, END_SQL.
    I implemented this as a work around and it solved our problem about the sorting issue with QAAWS.
    Here are the steps:
    1: Open the universe
    2. Ope File,  then Universe Parameter
    3. Click the parameter tab
    4. Scroll down until you see the 'END_SQL' entry. This entry is blank by default.
    5. Select END_SQL
    6. On the VALUE box, type: ORDER BY 1
    7. This will enable the REPLACE button. Click REPLACE
    8. Save the universe
    9 Test a query using 2 columns and view the SQL.
    You should see now the ORDER BY 1 inferred in the SQL statement.
    Voila!!!!
    Of course you can always add ORDER By 1,2,3 later if there's a need.
    Enjoy.....

  • Sorting Issue in XIR3, Hyperlink Fields

    We are facing issue in WebI-XIR3.
    We have so many objects Hyperlinked to child report. When we are trying to sort the Hyperlink, itu2019s not supporting
    Please suggest how to resolve the issue
    Thanks
    Siva...

    Tom,
    One thought or idea is to add a column before the column of the hyperlink and populate it with the data you want to sort.  The next task would be to "hide" (or camouflage) the new column by making it appear as "white on white" (providing your background of the grid is white).  Basically you make the font color white and either make the borders white or remove them completely.  Eventually with enough tinkering you'll be able to hide the column.
    Thanks,

  • Issue regarding Web Application Designer (WAD) in SP25 / SAP note 1558066

    Dear all,
    we recently applied SAP NetWeaver BI SP25. After the update we encountered severe issues in WAD and applied SAP note 1558066, this means I deleted from RSZWMDITEM all records having MDITEMNAME TARTITLE and afterwards updated metadata.
    The situation improved a lot, i.e. now I can open web templates or close WAD, but I still cannot drop Web Items in layout tab. I am able to include Web Items in overview tab, but again in layout tab I cannot change the sorting or remove Web Items.
    Did anyone come across similar issues and find a solution?
    Thanks for your input, best regards,

    Hello Björn
    I've exactly the same problem. See
    Could you solve the problem and if yes, how did you do it?

  • Issue about web analysis

    Hi guys,
    I am facing an issue about Web Analysis. When I use the version pre-9, I can access web analysis directly with html client or java client.Then I set each user with each POV. Now I am using EPM11, I can just access web analysis by workspace.Then if I would like to access java client, I click Tools->links->web analysis studio. While I access html client by clicking explore in the workspace toolbar. However, if the user doesn't belong to admin group, I can't find the explore toolbar. Then I can't access html client. As we know, not all web analysis users should be admin users. This issue puzzles me very much. Is there someone who can give some good suggestions? Thanks a lot.

    The user needs the 'Explorer' role to see the 'Explore' button. The user does not need admin privs for this.
    To access Web Analysis Studio directly, go to http://<server-name>:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp or http://<server-name>:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp.

  • Sorting issue after upgrade from 9i to 10g

    Dear all,
    It is found that the sorting behavior is different after upgrade from 9i to 10g.
    In 9i, even if the SQL statement does not specify the ORDER BY clause, the sorting order is consistent for a particular SQL statement and most likely the sequence follows the searched key fields' order.
    After upgrade to 10g, the query output could vary as long as the SQL statement does not specify the ORDER BY clause.
    Is it due to the Reverse Docid Sorting issue? How can I troubleshoot this issue?
    Thanks for your help,

    Thanks for your help,
    M.T. This is expected behavior in 10g. Oracle will not order the dataset for you unless and until you explicitly specify it.
    So without using order by clause in 10g, oracle doesn't guarantee that rows will be ordered.
    To go back to old behavior like 9i, you can set a workaround by
    alter session set "_newsort_enabled"=false;

    Hi Experts,
    we have web templates in 3.x versions. Today, some changes were done in the Bex queries underlined.
    Normally, the changes in the Bex query will be reflected correctly in the web templates without any problem (no need to adjust the web templates). However, we are having issues - the web template doesn't display the changes made in the query.
    If you have any ideas how to fix this issue, please help me.
    I found two programs:

  • Performance issue at Webi/Universe

    Hi BO Experts,
    I am new to Business objects.
    I have developed a new universe and webi reports, but I am facing some performance issues at webi side. Below I am furnishing my development details; please let me know how I can overcome with the performance issues.
    1. Created a Query on Multiprovider (query is having nearly 125 objects (Info objects (restricted with hierarchies), navigational attributes & restricted key figures).
    2. Developed a new universe on the query.
    3. As part of performance- restricted the some fields at query filters and also applied conditions at universe level.
    4. Created a webi report and it is generating the results for 8 fields (4 characteristics (hierarchy levels) + 4 restricted key figures) and also I used 5 conditions at webi report filters.
    Finally, my Webi results are matching with BW query results, but Webi report is taking more time ( approximately 15 min. ) when I compare with BW query results( approximately 1min. ) and MDX query(approximately 2 min.) results. Requesting t you to please let me know, if I need to do any changes at universe or webi or bw query level  to overcome with this performance issue.
    Awaiting for your response.
    Regards,
    PRK

    Hi,
    Here are few steps to improve the performance:
    Try to build the aggrregrates at Cube leve for those Characterstics which u are using frequenlty in WEBI Reports.
    As you are using Hierarchy, the report performance will be always not good.
    I suggest this can be best handled in BI Modelling Level only instead of handling the same at WEBI Report Level as at WEBI Reports we dont have much options to improve the performance
    Also, I suggest you to look into the Query performance at BEX Level and then use the Query for further connections

  • Front Row sorting issues

    Hello,
    I know this issue has been posted several times and without any real solutions. But I'm going to ask again anyway in case the magical hacking gnomes have found a work-around.
    I have many sorting issues. There seems to be a lot of kvetching on here already about how Front Row sorts TV shows. But not only do my shows come up backwards within seasons, in some cases seasons themselves are out of order. For example, I have all 3 seasons of 30 Rock (purchased through iTMS) and they go season 1, season 3, season 2. Several other shows with multiple seasons are the same.
    But I also have a music sorting issue. The first part of this issue has to do with compilations. I've got several compilations in my library, and in iTunes I've sorted them by Various Artists rather than individual artists. In Front Row, if I scroll down to "V," there is no "Various Artists" like you might expect but instead a list of all the artists in all the compilations completely out of order. (Actually, they're ordered by their track number on the different albums. Yeah. That makes sense.) I could deal with these artists showing up in their normal places alphabetically, but not all lumped together under V.
    The other issue has to do with albums with one artist who has some tracks that feature other artists. Kanye West's "Graduation" is a good example. About half the tracks on the album are him "featuring Jamie Foxx," for example. So I put "Kanye West" in the sort field of this album so it displays properly in iTunes. Not only does this seem to have no effect on how things are sorted in Front Row, but there's actually multiple "Kanye West"s now, each one identical, as well as multiple "Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx," lines and all the other multiple artist track. Uh...what?
    So I know that Front Row for some ridiculous reason is (a) not customizable and (b) operates under completely different sorting rules than iTunes (which makes no sense), but if anyone has any advice or tips or comments or whatever, that would be greatly appreciated.
    I've considered switching to a different media management program, but what I like about Front Row is its simplicity. I don't really feel like learning a whole new system (let alone getting my wife to buy into that idea). I've got better ways to spend my time. So, it's a trade off, I guess.
    Anyway, Apple Gods? Are you out there? Are you listening?

    I can't believe we're still banging on about the sorting problems. Apple have seen fit to provide a number of features to allow the user to get iTunes working the way they like, e.g. grouping compilation artists and the use of sort fields. I think you can now even keep compilation artists grouped on the iPod. But why oh why do they then totally ignore this for the AppleTV and Front Row (which look like the same codebase to me)?
    I have hundreds of genuine Artists that I want to see listed in the Artists' list, but not the thousands of others that appear on compilations. They don't even sort the artists by the Artist Sort field that they themselves provide in iTunes. This makes a nonsense of trying to use either the ATV or Front Row.
    Playlists are no help as they simply lump all contained tracks in one great list. Useless.
    The annoying thing is, they can get it right. iTunes just gets better and better in this regard, each release sorting out more of the omissions of earlier versions. But ATV and Front Row - nope, nothing. Still just as stupid as always. Just what will it take to convince Apple to 'sort' (ha) this out? How can they justify such entirely different ways of working on their different products?

  • Activity log design issue in web application .. Whatabout AOP ?

    Hi guys. ..
    I am working on a big web application in which there is module called activity log which actually logs most of the activities one perform in application like make a payment , defere the payment , issue the check etc. Almost all components in the application less or more use this component.
    Now what is my issue is its design sucks. Every time a new activity has to added one has to add a separate class for that and make a call at a particular place in other component depending on some logic. sometime it becomes a nightmare to maintain all this.
    I am sure there should be better way to do it .without making a call to this component every othere class.
    I dont know much about AOP. Is AOP got some solution for that.? or any design pattern I should use to make it maintainable or simple to add new activities whenever need arise.
    Thanks

    whenever need arise.You are thinking exactly the right thing. AOP is born for this sort of thing, and it addresses exactly the problem you've experienced: Move all that code that's duplicated with every new activity into the advice class.
    You can do AOP if you have AspectJ or, better yet, Spring.
    If not, you can think of Filters as a kind of AOP. Since this is a Web app you can write a Filter that does the logging for you.
    Either way, you've nailed the idea. Good thinking.

  • Multiple Sorts Issue

    I have two fields in a WEBI report (XIR2) that I want to sort.
    1st a date field decending
    2nd a string field ascending.
    I apply the sort to each field, then double check the priority to make sure it does date first.  The issue is that the string field always sorts descending no matter what setting I have the sort on for that field.  If I only sort on the string field ascending, its works fine, but having to do the date first screws it up.
    Any ideas?

    Brian,
    Double check your sort order. You can do this by checking the table properties.
    Select the table (not the cell) and open the propery tab. You will see the last item is sort and when you click on the button you will get a place set the sort order.
    thanks,

    The root of the issue is that using JavaScript to a string
    into a date
    easily lead to inconsistent, unexpected results.
    The way I solved this in the past is to have two columns
    inside my Spry
    datasets. One stores the date in yyyy-mm-dd format (ISO 8901,
    the format
    typically used by databases), another one stores a nicely
    formatted date
    (whatever format the language dictated).
    Then I always display the nicely formatted column, but I sort
    it only the
    yyyy-mm-dd one.
    As a bonus, yyyy-mm-dd sorts okay just as a string, so I have
    no need to
    assign a different datatype to it.
    Hope it may help.

  • Issue opening Web Analysis report

    I create, with buttons, links between reports in web analysis. Sometimes when I click on one of them in workspace, it doesn't open linked report, but another one. Furthermore this last one is automatically saved as the previous report, and I can't open the original linked report. Any suggestion about this ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Natesh,
    Thanks for your reply to my query posted in this forum. Please find my inline answers between asterisk to your questions:
    Whatz the source of your Grid? Relational SQL Query (OR) A spreadsheet with Essbase database connection file?
    * Yes, the source is Essbase.*
    If source is Essbase, it seems- Outline might've got altered when you're trying to refresh the report.
    * The outline was in tandem when we tried running this report in WebAnalysis. This outline & WebAnalysis report which is in Dev Server is a replica of the one in Test Server where it runs fine. *
    If source is based on a Relational SQL query, chances are that- Query is no longer valid.
    * NA as this statement is NOT applicable to our source.*
    If it's Essbase, it's also likely that- It ran out of time while fetching the data from Essbase. You may try playing around with the parameters in Essbase.cfg file.
    * This might be one of the causes, but I double checked the all the tunning parameters in Essbase.cfg file in place.*
    Could you please through more observation on this issue. Let me know if any further information is needed!.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Currency translation key issue on web

    Dear BI Colleauges,
    I am facing a problem with respect to currency translation.Issue is that.When i execute the report on web(Please note variable exists for 0currency).I do right click and use the Global currency option.I am trying to convert EUR to USD.When i use the currency translation option,it successfully changes the value to USD.But the unit remains still in EUR.I am wondering does this Unit also changes or it remains same as its database currency.
    As a prerequisite,I have defined currency translation type in RSCUR.Exchange rate as M with Dynamic Ex.rate determination.In currency tab,For source currency its 'Source currency from data record".For target currency its "Target currency selection with translation.In Time ref,its current date.I have not used this currency translation type in keyfigure ( In KF properties conversions tab).I do use this type in run time whn i execute the report.I did try option of creating variable also and using the same variable in report.But the result is same.
    Please observe the report looks like this.First column material,second column is currency and third column is value.
    It would be great if anybody can give your inputs on the same.
