Supressing Lines in Web Report

Hello:
I need to be able to suppress lines in the web report if the key figures are zero. I'm able to do this in Bex, but when I run the same report in the Web, the lines with zeros still show up.
Can someone tell me how to suppress lines in a Web Report?
Thanks,
Helena

Hi ,
Using a view in the web report to suppress results row works fine but it is not that great of an option.
Imagine you have a user who would like the option to suppress results row for the whole report and also the option to see the report with the results row. Then you would have to create two view and buttons or drop down and allow the user to switch whenever he see fits between reports , one with results and the other without results.
Now problem with that is if user select report with results and drills down multiple times then the users decide that based on his initial drill down he wants to see the whole report in the second option without the result so he selects or cliks on the button to switch to the second view, the problem is that when he switches back he losses all drill down and has to start over not very practical.
There exists a command SET_SUPPRESSION (Thanks to Heike Guder ) but i can't seem to make it work this is would be a better option, it is hidden from the users and you can insert it with a URL BW sommand. But i need to know how to use this command and where to put it does anyone know how to use it?
Thanks

Line graph issue in web report

Hi
I have a 3 queries/reports on one page in my web report. I have 3 line graph buttons, one for each query.
My issue is, in the report result or table, I have characteristic "Product" in rows and Key figures in Columns.
Product                          Month 1     Month2
XYZ          Demand
             On hand stock
             Ending Inventory
But when I hit the line graph button, it shows Product in the X (horizontal) axis and number ranges like 15000, 20000, 25000 in the Y axis.
I need to swap the axes. I tried the "swap display axis" in the web items tab, but it didn't work.
I read other threads on the same topic here and someone had suggested creating a query view, switching the columns and rows there and running the report to display the line graph as required.
If I do that, won't the report result in the table also swap the rows and columns? I want the table to show Product in the Rows and KFs in the column as it is now, but I want the line graph to show Product in the Y axis and the Key figures in the Y axis.
Any ideas on how to do that? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Pooja

This is what I did:
1) In BEX Analyzer, I opened the local view of the Query and swapped the Key figures and Characteristics. I put the key figures in the columns and Characteristics in the Rows
2) I ran my report and save it as a View
3) In WAD, I assigned the Chart to the View.
When i ran the report from WAD, it still shows the key figures or number ranges in the Y axis and Characteristics on the X axis again.
I checked the "swap display axes" option in Web Item tab, but the line graph still remains the same.
Is there another way to do this? Or am I missing something?
Thanks
Pooja

What is the color number in HTML of the result line in the web reports

Hi guys,
what is the color number in HTML of the result line in the web reports, its like a yellow, but i m looking for the exactly number color to make some modifications, please

the same should correspond to a CSS class definition. You execute the report - view source and ideally you should be able to find the class associated with the result cells. You can also go an check out the CSS directly.

Open a webi report from a Dashboard components

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard using Dashboards 4.0.It has a bar chart,line chart,combination chart.all these chart on X-Axis have month names as dimensions and y - axis shows different measures.
So now the requirement is the user wants to select any month from any one of the chart at one particular point of time.then the dashboard should open a Detailed Webi report( created in BI Launch pad) for the selected month and display that month data in a new window.
I know that we have to use the URL button in Dashboards for linking a webi document.
However i would like to know how to pass the selected month from the dashboard by selecting a particular month from any of the graph component as a parameter to the respective Webi report in BI Launch pad.
Hence any body how to implement this in Dashboards please let me know the step by step process.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Naga Nanda Kishore.

Hi Kishore,
Month name should be prompt for the Detail Webi Report, so when u clicked on bar its going to carry that Month as Well. And Syntax for adding Month will be like below.
Suppose if it is Sample Open Doc:
/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC
So u have to use this Syntax for Month
lsSMonth=+ Map the Cell where month is capturing. (Note:In lsSMonth Month is next of Prompt for month in Detailed Report.
And final URL will be
"/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?mistype=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC&lsSMonth=+Selected Month"
(Open Doc) (Sending (Selected Month) Month)
And For trigger the URL button you have keep trigger URL when Month Value changes(Based on Selection), means you have map trigger cell to destination of Bar chart Month Destination.
Thanks and Regards

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

Error when try to schedule a Webi Report

Good day every one:
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem??? the issue is this, I want to schedule a Webi report but when i clic on Schedule and go to Format and Destinations tab, i got this message:
displayErrorMessage="VIEWER:VIEWER_ERR_DEFAULT (Error: INF )"; traceErrorMessage="\u003Cinput type="hidden" name="BENCHERROR" value="Error Number : - Error Description : VIEWER:_VIEWER_ERR_DEFAULT"\u003E";
And i can not see the formats availables to schedule the report and of course i can not see the configuration and destinations options.
Looking for an answer i found this:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1537527
but that is an old post and i can not find the file mentioned there, can somebody please help me to fix this???
We are using:
BOBJ 3.1 SP3
Windows Server 2003
32 bits
Regards

I just found this
I was able to fix the issue by replacing the webiviewer.properties file with the file from the WARFILES\WEBAPPS directory. The webiviewer.properties file looks like it was corrupt as there was only 1 line in the file. After replacing and restarting the servers there's no longer an error when selecting Formats & Destinations.
I checked those webiviewer.properties and like you , one of them had only 1 line, about the language.
So I replace the one from Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\WEB-INF\classes with the one in the folder Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\classes
My guess is that this properties is corrupted because of the installation of other language. What should be done is updating the file with the new language parameters but what is done is a replace of the file.
I foun that in this link

Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

Hi,
Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.
CF

Hi Christopher,
Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

Webi report error

Hi All,
While refreshing Webi report, I am getting error below:
"An internal error occured while calling 'processDPCommands' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)".
Could anyone help me?
Regards,

Hi Manoj,
There are many KBases surrounding this error.
1352299 - Error:"An internal error occured while calling 'processDPCommands' API. (Error:ERR_WIS_30270) " while refreshing the Webi Report in Infoview
1568293 - "ProcessDPCommnands API Error" while refreshing WebI report in InfoView and Web Intelligence Rich Client.
1643514 - Error "An internal error occured while calling 'processDPCommands' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)" when cancel the query in Web Intelligence document
A few thing to check\test would be:
Change CMC server properties:　
Please go to Central Management console.
Go to Servers.
From left hand side panel select Server categories and then Web intelligence.
Right click the Webintelligenceprocessingserver and select Properties.
Set Binary Stream Maximum size to 500 (it is in MB).
Set Maximum character stream size to 500 (it is in MB).
Click save and close.
Change in webi.properties file:
Open the 'webi.properties' form this location and make the required changes to changes the Heap size.
D:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\WEB-INF\classes
Add the following line to the end of the webi.properties file (assuming that the Java Heap Max is set to 1024):
MAX_HEAP_SIZE=1024000000
Note: The default value of MAX_HEAP_SIZE is 5000000 and is appropriate for a Java Heap setting of 512.
Stop and then restart the Tomcat application server.
Note: The Tomcat limitation for the Heap Size setting is 1.5 GB (1536 MB), but the higher the value you set, the worse the performance when you run reports. If you try to increase the value higher than this, then Tomcat will not start.
I hope this is a very, very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,

Error while running web reports

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

MS Word from Web Report

I need to produce reports that can be saved to a file and also be exported to or read by MS Word. Is this possible with a web report?
I have been unable to save any reports run on the web in either HTML, HTMLCSS, or PDF formats. Doing a copy paste of an HTML report from a browser to MS Word produces very uneven results. Do I need to set up my users with the Reports Thin client and Net8 and use command line arguments or can I use a web report to do this?
Thank you.

We normally run to a file (because of two of
those problems: we can postprocess the file
to get valid Unicode and the correct font),
but I just tried something to cache and it
built a (fairly) good RTF file.
I.e, we usually have:
desformat=RTF
destype=file
desname=<blah.rtf>
Oracle is running on Solaris, browser is
running on a DOS box via jinitiator 27 or
so. That may matter to you?
-- Allan Plumb
(Now, if I could only figure out why an
embedded graphic in a report works when
I ask for PDF or RTF but fails for HTML?
Only from the web, OK from report builder.
Sigh.)

Web reports

Hi all.
I ve created a web report which has format for Chart, In my web report i have an option of choosing the different chart formats such that it can able to display the data in the form of chart which i provide, say i can display as bar chart or line chart or column chart. My users wants me to display a combination of charts; say for example i want to display the data both as line chart aswellas column chart in a same screen. That is, the combination of line and column chart,
How do i aproach this, Please tell me the steps n doing this,
Ill assign points for it,
Thanx in advance
Regards
Dinesh,

Hi Dinesh,
I hope user wants to see different charts for different column. If not then you may have to create a duplicate column.
After that go to you Web Report and there right click on your chart and select Edit Chart. In the next window you can select different chart type for different series.

Rohit

WEBI report present different in exported excel file

Hello expert,
I create a line chart in webi, and I create a table block to cover the x axies label for the line chart. this presentation looks perfect in WEBI report, but when I export it into excel file, the x axies labels for the line chart showed up with that table block moved down a little bit. how can I present WEBI in the same way in the exported excel file?

Hi,
If your requirement is to hide labels or X Axis values from the chart ..You can do this directly unchecked the check box for values or labels from the X Axis properties.
For to adjust the table block and line chart right click on the Cell go to Align ->Relative Position and in the bottom section adjust the height from the particular block.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Amit

Web report - Variable values while switching between views.

Hi Gurus,
We have a query which has a few variables that are getting populated with default values during query execution[customer exits].
We have added this query to the web.Now there is a date variable which gets populated with the current date value by default.Suppose the users don't vant to run the report for the current date, they are able to change the date in the variable window and execute. But once the report is run, and we try to choose a different vieew for the report, the report automatically gets refreshed with the selected view, but for the default current date value (because of the customer exit).Shouldn't the selected view be getting refreshed with the date values that the user had entered while executing the report?
Also when navigating between the different views, shouldn't a variable window pop up? Is there any setting to have the variable window pop up when navigating between the different views of a web report?
Would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks a Lot
Arvind

hello,
we need to go to Query properties -> interaction tab-> remove reuse variables to populate the variable screen everytime or "Save and reuse variable values" to supress variable window
or
Problem could be due to any personalisation.try this:
One the query is executed, click on the button which says change variable values.
In the variable pop-up screen which comes up click on the personalization button
In the new screen which comes up click on reset personalization button
Enter new variable values and execute the query.

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

Hello,
I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.
However, this function seems not to be available for web-reporting...
It would be great if someone could help me out with this!
Thanks & regards,
Arvid
