Strange issues on OLAP univese based on Bex

I am posting some strange questions and this forum might have answers but any responses will helpme out here
1. Source System : The Bex query based universe object is displaying all source systems in BW, so everytime the Source Syetms object been pulled into query (since its a mandatory) it pulls the entire list. Infact while creating Bex, The BW team is selecting or showing only 5 sourece system related this project. How can restrict this in Universe to show only those source systems which were selected in BEX. The observation is that in the Univrse object its pointing to 0level (which is master data set of the BW).
2. The mandatory prompts & optional prompts: When ever we run the small report also, All the prompts are appearing with Mandatory as well Optional. Since all pormpts are coming, I believe the corresponding LOV's ar also poping-up. So to get only prompts in the screen its taking 7 min. Can anybody advise, on above issues.( I know I can uncheck the option at object level to remove the option "Use filter as mandatory in the query)
3.How to create object that gives constant values: I have a requirement where I need to show "30", "45","60","90" of credit limits.These are constants across all reports.Can I create the object which givves me constants as out put.
I have few more questions and will be posting soon. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hi,
1. Source System : The Bex query based universe object is displaying all source systems in BW, so everytime the Source Syetms object been pulled into query (since its a mandatory) it pulls the entire list. Infact while creating Bex, The BW team is selecting or showing only 5 sourece system related this project. How can restrict this in Universe to show only those source systems which were selected in BEX. The observation is that in the Univrse object its pointing to 0level (which is master data set of the BW).
>> The universe reflects what you are doing in the BW query. if you want to have a fixed list of source systems then you would create a filter in the BW query.
2. The mandatory prompts & optional prompts: When ever we run the small report also, All the prompts are appearing with Mandatory as well Optional. Since all pormpts are coming, I believe the corresponding LOV's ar also poping-up. So to get only prompts in the screen its taking 7 min. Can anybody advise, on above issues.( I know I can uncheck the option at object level to remove the option "Use filter as mandatory in the query)
>> the definition of optional / manadataory is done in the BW query for the variable definition. in case you want to avoid to load the list of values you can also enable the delegated search for the list of values.
3.How to create object that gives constant values: I have a requirement where I need to show "30", "45","60","90" of credit limits.These are constants across all reports.Can I create the object which givves me constants as out put.
>> just create a new object in the Universe.

  • OLAP Universes - Based on BEx Query - Month and Previous Month Functions

    Hi,
      I created a Universe based on SAP BEx queries and I like to create a filter so that I use in Web Intelligence report to run for "Previous Month" data always. There are "Date" filelds in BEx Query(No Month info only date data). I have no knowledge of SAP BEx Queries and new to OLAP universes. Could you help.
    How to create filter that show Previous Month.
    Nanda Kishore
    Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Dec 26, 2010 6:15 AM

    The easiest way  (but NOT the most efficient one) is to create a local variable (Dimension) in your report with the following code:
    =if (Month(CurrentDate())=1 AND Month([[MyDate]])=12 AND Year([[MyDate]])=(Year(CurrentDate())-1)) OR (Month(CurrentDate())>1 AND   Month([[MyDate]])=(Month(CurrentDate())-1)) then 1 else 0
    where MyDate is the field from your query containing the data information
    Activate the report filter area in your report design panel by pressing the Report filter icon and drag and drop your variable there and apply it to the entire report. Filter value 1 and you will get the data for the previous month.
    Keep in mind that this approach is not optimal especially if you do have many rows of data delivered to your WebI report because filtering takes place only AFTER the data is retrieved. The Best practice here is to work with BEx variables.
    How many rows of data does your WebI report normally fetches?

  • Error querying OLAP universe based on BEx query

    Hi all,
    I have a problem extracting larger (more than 80 000 rows) amounts of data through querying an OLAP universe with WebI.
    The error is:
    Query 1 - NAME_OF_THE_QUERY
    A database error occurred. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. &INCLUDE INCL_INSTALLATION_ERROR. (WIS 10901)
    The error occurs when I define larger scope of analysis in the query (four levels). With more modest scope (three levels or less) it's working OK. I need larger data set (more than 200 000 rows) to be populated at night through scheduling the report. We can't afford shrink the scope of analysis because it will hit the BW server during the day when it's needed by other users.
    Besides this the speed of the report refresh is very slow - more than 3 minutes per just 400 rows of data. I'm still unable to identify the source of the problem with this slowdown. Executing the same query over the web through the SAP BW BEx Viewer is much much faster - just 3 seconds. Maybe the reason for this is that the BEx viewer aggregates data on the higher level of the hierarchy rather than down to transaction level (like we do by expanding the scope of analysis).
    Anyway, if anyone have ideas about the error above I'll be very grateful if you share your thoughts. Thanks!
    Our environment:
    BO EDGE BI 3.1, standard
    SAP BW 3.0
    SAP Integration Kit (all transports installed)
    BW user with full access

    Ingo,
    Could you point me to an official SAP document regarding the 1 million cells limitation, which describes the exact version and patch level for SAP BW which removes this limitation? It will be very helpful for me because I have to convince the client to migrate BW from 3.0 to 7.01 if it will solve this limitation.
    Thank you in advance!

    BTW I have installed SP2 + FP2.1 and now the SAP integration is not functional, but I have opened another thread for this problem.

  • 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.

  • Xcelsius based on BEx query. Issue when transporting from DEV to PRD

    Hi all,
    I am facing an issue as described below:
    I created dashboard based on bex query in Query Browser. Everything is working find in DEV. Then I transport the dashboards to PRD, I also use the override settings to point from BOD-BWD to BOP-BWP, my connection changed accordingly. Everything seems ok. One day when we stop the BOD system. Dashboards in BOP are not working. Then I start BOD, everything is ok then.
    The issue I got:
    Internal: BOP....
    External: BOD.../XcelsiusWebServices.
    Is there any chance that dashboard in BOP using the BOD xcelsius web service?
    I have resolved this issue by:
    - Open the dashboard in BOP, then in each of the query in Query Browser, I clicked edit and click next, next until end.
    - Then re-save to BOP, then it is working
    For your information, I used BEx query in Query Browser only, not use BIWS.
    Dashboard 4.0 SP04
    BW 7.3
    Does anyone face this issue before? And how you resolved it? Please kindly share with me.
    Thanks,

  • BO BI 4.0: WebI report based on BEx query (OLE DB enabled)

    Hi Experts
    We are trying to create WEBI reports based on BEx queries, but we are experiencing some issues. We have created two BEx queries og two separate multiproviders and opened them for external use but checking the OLE DB enable checkbox. In WebI we are now only able to use on of the queries as a data source (even though both are OLE DB enabled).
    Are there any limitations to which multiproviders that can be used to create BEx queries for WebI reports?  
    We are using BO BI 4.0 and BW 7.0 SP 5.
    Kind regards
    Erik

    Hi again Henry
    We use BW 7.01 Support package 5 (we know it should have been at least 6), SAP GUI 7.20 patch 9, BEx 7.2 patch 6 and BO 4.0 patch 11.
    The BW user that is synchronized to BO has almost all rights (almost sap_all). When we log on to BEx directly with the same user we use in BO, we are able to run both BEx queries without any problems. When we then log on to BO (with the same user), we are only able to use on of the queries in WebI.
    As you say, we have to following setup:
    -     BO users are synchronized from our BW system and when they log on to BO they use the SAP authentication.
    -     The user that is synchronized from BW has been added to the Administrator group in BO  
    -     The OLAP connection is set to SSO so that the authorization in the BW system is used.
    It is really strange that we are not able to use on of our multi providers in BW in WebI. As you say, we just need to try debugging with changing the authorization concept, changing the OLAP connection setup and so on to see if that helpsu2026
    Kind regards

  • Strange issue in custom Success/Failure captions

    Hi,
    I have a strange issue in my custom Success/Failure caption. If I use 'S' letter in my customized caption .bmp file, it is not showing properly in the captivate. Attached file is for your reference. I tried converting text into image in photoshop, still it shows the same thing. Any thoughts??
    Thanks in Advance,
    -Ajay

    OK.  That's what I thought.
    So what I think is going on here is due to the way Captivate assembles text captions that can stretch to any size based on the component images.  I think your corner image that contains the text is being stretched right at the point where the S character is located on the end of Congratulations.  Captivate is achieving the resizable text caption by repeating the last few pixels of each background image.
    If you want to test my theory, just make your Congratulations text slightly shorter (use a condensed font or make the font size smaller) and I think your issue will go away.

  • BO performance issues on OLAP Universes

    Hi All
    I am working on BO XI 3.0 and installed the SAP Integration Kit for Windows 3.0 version.
    I have built OLAP Universe based on BW cubes and reporting on the Universes using Web Intelligence.
    I am facing performance issue when trying to query on OLAP Unvierses and the query is taking ~10 mins to fetch the data. I have installed the FP3 for BO XI 3.0 and there is no improvement as such. Could anyone help me on this issue.
    This has been a long standing issue and is causing a hindrance to our deliverables.
    Regards
    Chetan

    Hi Ingo,
    We are also currently facing similar kind of performance issues.
    We have sap bw Infocube and bw query on top this we have BO Universe.
    As per best practices document "the WebI query panel definition is what defines the "MicroCube" and thus the MDX query which is executed on SAP BW".
    It means that the actual query performance / query execution time / memory consumption is directly related to number of objects dragged into WebI query panel not in SAP BW query.
    if this is true then what is the reason not to have all infoObjects / keyfigures of InfoCube in a single sap bw query?
    I found another Best practices document which says that "DO NOT build one query per infoProvider because elements can add processing time even though you are not using them into the Web Intelligence Report
    In one statement it says that the WebI Query panel definition is what MDX query going to execut on SAP BW and in other statement it says that the elements in SAP BW query can add processing time even though we are not using them in Web Intelligence Report*.
    Appreciate if you can clear these contradicatory statements.

  • Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

    Dear Experts,
    I'm new to OLAP universes.
    We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling  for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
    We require a calmonth (time dimension) object  (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table.  User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
    Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
    Thanks
    Akshara

    Hi Henry,
    Thank  you for your response.
    BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
    Regarding reporting requirements,  User wants to have adhoc reporting  with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
    If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
    Thanks
    Akshara.

  • Strange issue with Exchange system

    Memento Mori

    Hi Vick,
    Based on my research, I suggest you should upgrade the AD first.
    1. Exchange 2013 CU5 contains schema changes. To upgrade the Schema to CU5 you can execute the following command:
    Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    2. And you also should upgrade the
    Configuration Partition and the Domain Partition with the following command:
    Setup.exe /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    Setup.exe /PrepareDomain /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    3. After finished above two steps, now you can start to upgrade an Exchange 2013 server to CU5. Open a command prompt and enter the following command:
    Setup.exe /Mode:Upgrade /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

  • Lose chart drill-down for webi based on BEx/BICS

    Hi All,
    I have a client for whom drill-down through charts based on SAP hierarchies is an essential requirement. My research here (and elsewhere) has led me to the following conclusions:
    1. IDT Universe (.unx) can't be based on BEx query (functionality briefly appeared then was revoked with subsequent SP)
    2. The supported/recommended method for reporting against BEx query is the BICS connectivity
    3. A webi report based on a BICS (although offers nice new sap hierarchy interaction) does not support drill-down through charts
    Just looking for confirmation that I am correct...and that my reports will therefore need to be based off traditional universes (.unv), to achieved drill down on charts in webi?
    Appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks,
    Ferdie.

    Hey Ferdie
    1. Build table in WEBI Document include the Hierarchy object (0COSTCENTER).
    2. Choose the CostCenter, right click set as Selection.
    3. Now add new Blank Cell and put it near selection , enter there some text , like JUMP TO, DRILL and etc..
    4. Now select the CELL . right click , Linking and Hipper Link or Document Link, and choose there another document
       or you also can choose self document. When your linking to another webi document you can transfer to it parameters to   prompt. So Transfer the costcenter as parameter.
    The document link option available only when you run document in View mode (No rich client without JAVA). I will open OSS to SAP about this issue
    Also you can choose to open the document in current window, so then user will think that he is still in same document
    Example for link parameter:
    /portal/1110311905/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AdJiD59b4kJKkhNpGCYT8Q0&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&lsSpsCost%20Center%3A=Ness&sWindow=Same
    I hope this will work

  • PromptSummary() issue in OLAP universe

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to display the user prompts on a webi report. The universe is an OLAP universe based on a Bex query with an SAP variable. The user is prompted to enter a month and year. When viewing the webi report in Edit mode, the cell containing the PromptSummary() idisplays the selected month/year as expected. When viewing the report (not in edit mode) the cell displays "**Query Name:Query 1**"
    Can anyone explain what's going on?.
    Cheers
    Keith

    Try increasing the cell size.
    You can also use the UserResponse function in webi.

  • OLAP universe on top Bex query

    Hi all,
    I have a Bex query with a single mandatory Hierarchy variable. This hierarchy variable was created over GL Account infoobject. I have to different active hierarchies.
    I generated a OLAP universe based on this Bex query.
    The problem is it doesn´t generate any sub-class for hierarchy and for level objects.
    I can't see any filter in OLAP universe GL account dimension.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    David

    Hi Ingo,
    Thanks for your help.
    Yes, I can see both hierarchies in result set when I run the query in RSRT.
    Both hierarchies are not time dependent and very simples.
    I made a lot of test (working with query designer 3x, query designer 7) and to me it is a problem with integration kit.
    There is no filter related to my hierarchy characteristic, nor level generated in OLAP universe.
    Hope your comments.
    Regards

  • Strange issue with a users meeting turning into a appointment.

    So we have a user that is administrative assistant to many executives.
    Today they created a meeting today and invited a few people. (for whatever reason, the user has themself as a shared calendar. Not sure if they created the meeting under their own shared calendar for themself or not)
    sometime later they decided to add another user to the meeting, but the meeting no longer had attendees and turned into an  ppointment instead.
    The previous attendees still have their meetings with all the correct info(minus the user they tried to add)
    Also when checking the OWA vs the CLIENT,  you can see the sent email/invite in Outlook 2011 (yes its a mac they're using) in the Sent folder.  However, it was not in the Sent folder in OWA, and instead it was in the trash.   The one in the
    trash in OWA however, instead of containing the original users as the attendees, contained the New user they were trying to add.(all based on the time the original invites were sent out)   The first invite was sent out @ 1:30pm while the new user invite
    was (a completely different meeting invite due to the original not being there as a meeting) was sent out at 2:30pm.
    Is there any way to sort of monitor or track this sort of transacation?  A few users in question always seem to have these sort of strange issues.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that:
    1. There is a delegate set for several managers.
    2. The delegate created a meeting with some attendees for a manager and all attendees received it successful in Calendar.
    3. When the delegate sent a meeting updates, the attendees in organizer’s calendar were missing and there is no updates in attendees’ calendar.
    Is it right? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
    Please check whether there are any mobile devices used in receiving or accepting the meetings. Please confirm whether all attendees in organizer’s calendar are also missing in OWA. we can stop using any mobile devices and try creating new meeting then sending
    updates in OWA to try whether the issue persists.
    Additionally, please refer to the following articles for more information about Best practice when when using the Outlook Calendar:

  • I suffering a strange issue ACS 4.2

    Hi Guys
    I suffering a strange issue , I have two group users (wireless user , VPN users),
    I created a NAR To restrict users,, created two group NAR (network access restriction ) wirless group and vpn group
    I attached wireless NAR group to wireless group user , and attached VPN NAR group to VPN group users ,
    Supposed Wireless users only have access to wireless ,and VPN users just have access to connect VPN and they don’t have access wireless .
    The issue VPN user can access wireless!!!!!
    Notice I used ACS4.2 And Aruba controller
    Is this bug in ACS 4.2 or what ? please advice

    Hi,
    NAR are based on two radius attributes (calling-station-id = client information) (called-station-id = network device information).
    The issue is based on the VPN NAR that you have configured.
    However let me explain why this works for the WLAN users, you configured an IP based rule (dont know if this was intentional but it works), in a way that if a client authenticates with the calling-station-id from the VPN server (ip address is the format for calling-station-id), that it must match the called-station-id that belongs in the "NDG-WLAN" which fails. I noticed that you do not have a DNIS condition configured, the ACS is designed to failover to this rule for non IP based NAR filters. For wireless dot1x authentication (calling-station-id is the mac address of the client), there is no CLI/DNIS based rule enabled so that is why the wireless requests are permitted.
    When the VPN users connect to wireless an hit the VPN NAR, the calling-station-id is a mac address format, and with no CLI/DNIS rule configured you allow them access.
    In the VPN NAR, you should create a DNIS based rule which denies access from the NDG:WLAN and wildcard the dnis field, and that will fix your issue.
    Here is some reference material:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/SPC.html#wp766301
    "IP-based NAR filters work only if ACS receives the Radius Calling-Station-Id  (31) attribute. The Calling-Station-Id (31) must contain a valid IP  address. If it does not, it will fall over to DNIS rules."
    Thanks,
