Tool required to document webi reports

We need a tool for document the business objects webi reports. The requirement is follows.
The requirement is to map the BO report field to the source, so in short if I pick up any field on a given BO report can I trace it to a column in the datamart. And further the target datamart field can be mapped on to source field, which in turn gives me a complete mapping from Source column to BO report field.
Kindly let me know if there is a feature in BO which gives me the mapping of u201CBO Report field to Datamart fieldu201D in a automated fashion.
Thanks in advance,
James

Automated tool/program to monitor webi report status

Hi
I want an automated tool/program that gives data which reports are failed and which reports are success for the following
i have reports where the failure or success of the report instance matters.
i have report where the reports will be placed in the file server with destination details.
i have some reports where the PDF output will be sent to users.
How to do this?

Hi Farzana,
Why can't you use the native mechanism we have in CMC for notification of the status of scheduled report. Whatever be the destination you set, you can keep your mail id in notification tab while scheduling for all failure instances so that you will get the update in your mail.
If you are so particular about an application for fetching this information, you will have to get it from audit database by some custom coding.

How to Display Current Quarter results in WebI report?

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement where a WebI report should open up on current quarter basis by default. I have checked the refresh on Open in the document properties.What changes or formulae do I need to make/create in order to open the report with current quarter results?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,
Anila.

Hi Anila,
Do you mean if a user is running a report on the first quarter, the report should display data for the first quarter only?
If yes, here is the solution:
Create a formula:
CurrQtr = If (Quarter(CurrentDate())) = MyQuarterObject THEN "Show"
Then put a ReportFilter CurrQtr=Show

Webi Report on SAP BW/BI

Hi All,
We are on SAP BO BI 3.1 and I am required to create Webi Report on our SAP BW/BI system with BEx Query and InfoCube as source.
I need some Guidance and/or Material to help me achieve my task.
I tried finding things on scn but I was NOT successful. Even searching on Google and YouTube did not help.
How to create connection BICS, QAAWS, How to create Universe and then
What steps to follow when u creating WebiReport on BEx and What steps to follow when u creating WebiReport on InfoCube etc etc.
Thanx in Advance
NoVice.

Hi,
For more information on BO 3.1 connectivity with BW refer attached BO 3.1 Using SAP BW in Universe Designer guide.You will get fair idea on BO/BW integration and different options.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_designer_en.pdf
You can create universe on info cube or Bex Query.But you will get the advantages if you will create universe on top of BEx query as all RKF's, CFK's, Conditions, Exceptions will be automatically converted in the universe.At the same time if you will create universe on top of cube then you need to create objects in the universe and creating objects in the universe is difficult.

Web Report Personalization

Hi,
I have a requirement for the web reports I have published. I am running BI 7 right now without BI portal but will be running in BI portal soon. Bascially, I want the report to remember what the last format a user ran a report. For example, the report has 3 characteristics displayed as default and additional characteristics are available for drill down in the free characteristerics section. The majority of the users will get the report as is. But one user, she always need one additional field called region from the free characteristics section to be displayed in the default report section. So she drill it down once she opens the report for the first time. The next time when she login and run the same report again, she will automatically get region displayed in the default section of the report without drilling it down again. What will take to make this work? Can someone give step by step instruction how to configure it? Thank you in advance!
Sharon

There's a few ways this can be done. But bookmarking would be the easiest way. The user can set this up themselves.
Alternatively, you can use a view or create paramterized url which the user can call directly ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/29/4d15422ecce02ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm )

Linking a WEBI report through hyperlink in a webpage using open document

Hi All,
I have a hyper link in a web page which when clicked should open a WEBI report. I created it using the open document feature.
Once clicking on the link, InfoView login credential page is displayed. After logging in the report runs.
My client does not want the login page to be displayed since most of the users does not remember their password (since SSO is implemented).
He wants to bypass this login page so that most of the users can directly view the reports.
Question:
Is there a way to achieve this i.e without asking for login credentials or by passing this?
Possibilities :
1: To create ID's for all the people (which I think is not a feasible option in my project)
2: Create a guest account with minimum privileges and share the password with all the users.
Note:
1: I use BO XI R 3.1.
2: No SDK is installed to do any programming.
Any suggestion are most welcome.
Thanks in advance
Shreyas

Hi Shreyas,
Manual Easy Way for doing the activity in SAP Business Objects 4.0:
This method is useful if we have a special system account that we want everyone to use.
You will notice that all we do is generate a logon token using the appropriate username, password and CMS variables. Then we append the token onto ivsLogonToken.
Note: The numbers on the url after /BOE/portal represents the timestamp of the last patch or install. You can put whatever you want under the number section and Business Objects will automatically redirect to the appropriate start.do
Step I:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
Step II:
You can copy the contents from the custom.jsp that I’ve provided below to your custom.jsp.
Cutom.JSP File
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*" %>

//BO Session and redirect to Infoview
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
/* * Set Enterprise Logon credentials. */
final String BO_CMS_NAME = "bi4server";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";
final String BO_USERNAME = "Daya";
final String BO_PASSWORD = "admin@123";
ILogonTokenMgr logonTokenMgr;
String defaultToken = "";

boolean loggedIn = true;
try {
//Create session token
enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(Daya,admin@123, BI4SERVER,Enterprise);
logonTokenMgr = enterpriseSession.getLogonTokenMgr();
defaultToken = logonTokenMgr.createWCAToken("", 20, 1);
//Redirect with token attached to the ivsLogonToken parameter
response.sendRedirect("http://"+BO_CMS_NAME+":8080/BOE/portal/1205291547/InfoView/logon/start.do?ivsLogonToken="+Encoder.encodeURL(defaultToken));

Edit the username,Password & BOBJ Server Name'in BOLD Letter
Step III:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Step IV:
Trusted Authentication:
Trusted Authentication is a component of Enterprise authentication that integrates with third-party single sign-on solutions, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Applications
that have established trust with the Central Management Server can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.
This method is really cool because users don’t even have to know their passwords. Basically with this method you can log into another system and if that system has the appropriate user name, you can pass it to the custom.jsp and then it will log you into BI Launchpad.
In addition, you don’t need to create any java code for the enterprise token setup.
Step V:
In the CMC, go to Authentication, then select Enterprise. Check Trusted Authentication is enabled, then click on New Shared Secret. Finally download the shared secret key and keep it somewhere secure
Step VI:
Copy global.properties from <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default into <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom. Then using Notepad or another text editing utility, edit the following properties
sso.enabled=true
trusted.auth.user.retrieval=WEB_SESSION
trusted.auth.user.param=UserName
trusted.auth.shared.secret=<secret code from properties file you created in step 2>
Step VII:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
<\!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

window.location = "logon.jsp";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:goToLogonPage()">Click this to go to the logon page of BI launch pad</a>
</body>
Edit the username(Daya) variable
Step VIII:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Hope this help you as well.

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

WEBi reporting requirement

Hello All,
I am stuck with one WEBi requirement. The requirement is as follows. I will try to make it simple.
I have one BEx query from which i am getting data Cost Center (0COSTCENTER) & Actuals which i am displaying in WEBi report.
For example BEx 1:
CC1   100
CC2   200
CC3   300
CC4   400
I have another BEx Query which shows data as Sales Organization and actuals .
For example BEx 2
SO 1000
Now in WEBi i want to do a calculation as follows using above BEx queries as follows :
CC1   100   (100/1000)*100
CC2   200   (200/1000)*100
CC3   300   (300/1000)*100
CC4   400   (400/1000)*100
I hope the above example is clear enough. The problem i am facing is how to use the amount from the second BEx query to use against each cost center amount from the first BEx query in WEBi .
Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

Hello Govind,
As i said in my previous replies it doesn't work for me because i use hierarchies.
Here i am putting a screenshot to give you detail that it does't work for me.
Actuals YTD is coming from Query 1 in which i have hierarchy for cost elements.
Actuals is coming from Query 3.
Hope this makes it clear.

Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

Hi,
I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
Rgds..

Hi,
Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.
Best regards,
