Answer to the question "how to insert a company logo to a WEBI report ?" is
Place your company logo image in the below folder.
<BO Install>\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\images
In WEBI report,
1. drag a blank cell on to the report.
2. select the properties tab for blank cell
3. click on Background image ellipses button.
4. specify value for image from URL: boimg://COMPANY_LOGO.png
5. Display : Horizontal Tile (or choose the option as required)
Your company logo appears in blank cell. Resize the cell such that logo appears fully.

It can contain tables/charts and independent cells
Standard templete for webi reports?

Webi Report : Drill Functionality not working properly

Hello Guru's,
I am working on Webintelligence Rich Client XI 3.1 FP 3.5.
I have created a hierarchy Country -> Region -> Location -> Customer and Sales Amount in my universe. I exported it to CMC and Created a Webi Report. I selected Country and Sales Amount only into the output screen and clicked on DRILL button in Webi Report and it showed me a line below Country which represents the drilldown is ON now.
When i clicked on Country, it drills to Region and when i select any region, it drills to location and then to customer. The objects which is drilled that we can see in the Report filter (in the toolbar). Now, if i want to change Country or Region or Location directly (rather then click on Up, Up and Up). So, i clicked on the objects available in the report filter (in the toolbar), it doesn't show me the other contries or Region or Location while i see the same functionality in the standard Webi report (Formatted Report for Drill) given by SAP. If i drill any dimension then it comes in the Report Filter tool bar then i can see all the values for that dimension in the Report Filter and i can change it any time.
What is the difference in that filters ? Do i have to make any settings ?
Please do the needful and let me know.
Regards,
Komik Shah

Webi report display splits a column

Hi
fairly new to Webi so I hope this doesn't sound too basic. I have a Webi report that is 30 odd columns wide (this is currently BOXI R2 on Windows 2003); it's displayed in Landscape mode and splits several columns down the middle. How can you define where the vertical page breaks should be and/or which columns should not be split?
Cheers
Mark Gillis

Thanks for getting back. That's not quite the problem: it's a 'standard' Webi report (not a crosstab) and has over 40 columns. Even in landscape mode, that displays over 5 pages. The problem is vertical splits: I can fit columns 1 to 7 on page 1 and then column 8 is half on the first page and half on the second (this is displaying in Page mode in Infoview: I can display in Draft mode, of course, to get a full span display of the report).
What I'm trying to do is define the report so that when a user displays in Page mode columns do not get split. It may be that Draft mode is the only answer but I was hoping a setting would exist to say "don't split columns over pages".

Strange issues in WebI report on standard Universe on top of BW Query

Hello,
We have a BW query with a standard Universe on top of it (generated automatically via the connection in universe designer).
However, very strange things happen when playing with the data in WebI.
There are some characteristics and just one key figure (which is just 'number of records').
- key figures just disappear when adding characteristics
- the wrong assignment is made from the infoobject to a dimension in webi when combining several characteristics in the WebI report (for example the 'customer' field holds the 'date' and the 'date' field is empty.
I think it has something to do with BO that starts from the text of an infoobject instead of from the key.
Also I constantly have to refresh the data when adding fields to the report.
Did anybody have similar issues? How did you solve them?
I also tried 'restructuring' the universe by deleting everything that's less relevant for the report, and taking the longest available text as dimension with key of the info object as detail and this seemed to work a lot better. However we shouldn't have to restructure a universe that's generated from a query?
Thanks,
Tom

We had a the same thing. Assuming it is the same cause, it is a known issue. SAP had us install two Notes on BW and the problem disappeared.. Evidently it has to do with an MDX generation problem. See response below and do some investigation.
This is a known issue.
Here are the notes that fix this issue. The second note has two composite notes in it that will need to be applied as well if they still have problems after they install the first two.
There are some items that are broken in SP6. You'll notice that SAP note 1404328 is already in SP6. You'll still need to install it again along with the second SAP note 1420169
Please install both of these and try your work flow again. If it's still not working, then you'll need to go through the composite notes in the second SAP note 1420169.

Edit standard tempalte for web reporting

Hi BW-experts,
is it possible to edit the standard web template for web analysis (0ANALYSIS_PATTERN)? The web application designer was not able to do so and I'm missing the function download/upload from/to server in new WAD. With BW 3.x one could change 0QUERY_TEMPLATE to do adjustments. Is there a similiar funtion hidden somewhere or is it sonehow else posiible to edit 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN?
Best Regards,
Leo

Hi Leo,
the new Web Application Designer should be able to edit the Web Template. You can directly open the Web Template in the new WAD do your changes and save the Web Template under a new name.
Which error are you getting in the Web Application Designer? Some error messages like query does not exist ,.. can be ignored.

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.

Prompt issue in webi Report

Hi All,
My webi report have two date prompt i.e start date & end date.During report refresh if I give the dates which doesn't have any data/wrong data then I'm getting standard error as "NO data to Fetch".
1.Here My concern is how and where do it.
i.e Changing "NO data to Fetch". to custom one. e.g Dates (start date & end date) doesn't have any data like that...
2. In the same report if it is in tabular format with given prompts have no data then empty table structure is displayed. When I change this table to any chart(pie or bar or line..) nothing is displayed for the same prompts. i.e. How can we display empty structure of chart similar to that of table if given prompts are wrong/ not having any data.
Any help is highly appreciated..
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

Hi Suresh,
Here is the complete explaination:
Consider the scenario that you have 1 data provider in the report lets name it DP, which is not returning any row for the selected date range.
1. Union the main query with the dummy Select 'A','B','C',0,0,0 from dual - (Eg given for oracle)
    When the main query returns no row, this dummy query will return 1 row, which will suppress the default pop-up
    of - "no data to retreive"
2. Place a cell in the report, with the desired error message written. Background white and no borders and font white.
3. Place the block above this cell i.e. one above the other. Check the property to hide block when empty.
4. Create alterer to make the font black or to any other color and apply it tto he cell created in step 2.
    Enable the alerter when DP returns only 1 row.
I hope the steps are clear.. and solution helps you.
Regards,
Rohit

Creation of Dynamic Date Variables to be used in WebI reports

What we are trying to achieve is to create 4 optional filters (Current Day, Current Week, Last Week, Last Month) on 4 different dates which will allow the users to use them in WebI reports.
When using an optional SAP Customer Exit variable in BEx and creating a Universe on top, the filter becomes mandatory (i.e. the whole Universe is filtered by the SAP Exit, irrespective of whether the filter is used in the WebI report). Even if the filter is flagged as optional at the Universe level, it still behaves as mandatory.
If each filter becomes mandatory then we'll have to create 16 different Universes (for each optional filter and date combination)! This is not feasible.
I've seen in other posts that MDX Statements are not currently supported for Universes base on BW and SAP Exit should be utilized.
So with the existing BO version, is it possible to create optional dynamic date variables or is that a product limitation?
We are on XI3.1 SP3 FP3.1
Thanks

Hi Adam,
In BEx, I would create this query very easily using the "Amount" key figure twice in my results and restricting each with a different SAP standard out-of-the-box delivered variable. For your reference, the variables in BEx are: 0FPER and 0FYTLFP.
If I expose these variables in my OLE DB for OLAP query, they are not transfered into the universe, but rather act as filters on the entire universe. I've seen in documentation that only "Ready for Input" variables can be transfered as options into the universe which is not something that I have seen mentioned in this thread.
>> In the BEx Query you have the option to either make the variable "ready for input" or not. The behavior is the same in Bex or in the Universe / Web Intelligence. "Ready for input" means the user can actually provide an input and without the flag the user can not provide an input. Yes those variables are supported in the Universe.
Why this is a problem: I can't create separate universes based on potential variable periods that users might want to see. Additionally, many financial reports require concurrent use of these measures in the same report. Also, in reality it's not 2 variables, but dozens.
>> Which is a decision you make already on the BEx query level. if you decide that the variable is not ready for input then the user can change the timeframe in BEx either.
Also, I don't have a good way to mimic the standard out-of-the-box functionality given with BEx in BO. If I custom create all my variables in the universe, how do I do a lookup from the system date to the fiscal calendar that is stored on the BW server? In other words, how does BO know which date belongs in which period? (the same would be true with factory calendars for a different functional area).
>> Variable are created in the BEx query and the Universe will leverage those.
If you want a dynamic date range then EXIT variable as part of the BEx query - ready for input or not - is the solution.
regards
Ingo Hilgefort
The only work around I can see is to require users to enter the current fiscal period and have the BO reports filter based off that user entered value. This is unfortunate as the entire purpose of SAP Exit variables is to avoid having to require user input at report time.

Include a Glossary Page in a Webi report for report documentation

Hi experts,
My client would like to include a Glossary Page at the start/end of each Webi report. This page should include documentation/explanation of each dimension detail, measure, formula, etc shown on the report.
I cannot find any designated location in the Webi report for documentation purpose. Assuming I have created this documentation in a word/html document, what is the easiest way of including this info in the Webi report?
So far I can think of 2 options:
1) Include a new report with one or more blank cells, and paste the text from the word/html document into the blank cell.
Pros: Can be printed out together with the report contents (print both reports together).
Cons: Considerable effort with creating this page
2) Include a blank cell in the original/separate report, and insert a hyperlink for this word/html document into the blank cell.
Pros: Less effort involved
Cons: Cannot be printed out together with the report contents
Besides these 2 options, are there better ways of creating the Glossary page?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Linda

We do something similiar in that users cannot create a new document. Users can only copy and edit the existing template for new reports. The template has standard headers, footers and confidentiality statements that are required on all reports.
Here are some of the standard formulas we include in the header/documentation report tab:
="Report Title: "+DocumentName()
="Run User: "+CurrentUser()
="Run Date: "+LastExecutionDate()
=If (DocumentPartiallyRefreshed();"Your document contains partial data only")
=DocumentName()
=DataProviderSQL([Query 1])
These formulas automatically fill in some of the basic data using option 1 from your list.

BUG in a standard SYSMAN report

i've created a global and public report that can monitoring ALL our web application from a standard sysman report (created by default) "Services Monitoring Dashboard", with the difference that no initial parameter is requested (this report can monitor ONE SERVICE ONLY). My error is the same in my report and sysman report (standard report created in the GRID INSTALLATION), so i don't think it's report fault.
I can give an example of the error with the standard sysman report Services Monitoring Dashboard:
- I open it
- I put inside the text-field a name of a service.
- When the page is shown, i click on Service Level: Last 24 Hours , Last 7 Days Last 31 Days (they are all percentages) and i receive:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Did someone have received a similar error in this context?
