Transport issue of a WEBI report?

Hi,
I have created on webi report with name "Sales Details Per Year" and transported to Quality system from Development. but, after few days due to some reasons i have deleted this report in development system and created a new report with the same name "Sales details Per Year". when i am transporting this webi report into quality system it is not able to transport because of same name.
kindly help me how can i overcome this? is there any overwrite option is available in promotion management ?
Thanks

Hi Krishna, We had the option in import wizard to match either name or uid but in Promotion management (BI 4) we dont have the option ,it matches both.
The other way to open the report in rich client in dev and save as the report in QA but this require the access rights to rich client.

  • 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.

  • Issue while opening webi reports using OpenDoc url in Chrome browser

    Hi
    We are in SAP BI4.0 SP7. We are facing weird issue while opening the webi report via OpenDoc url in chrome. we are facing the below issue only in chrome and it works perfectly in IE and Firefox.
    For the first time the report gets opened properly(when a session is created). If we try to open the same report from the same machine in a different browser tab, report gets opened up without any Tables\charts. We could see only a blank page with just the Report Tab name at the bottom. If we do refresh on the page, the report opens up correctly. We have checked for packet drops and there is no such thing. Is there any setting that we should make to resolve this. Your help is appreciated.
    thanks
    Gokul

    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.
    best regards,

  • Webi report gives old data in infoview on refresh

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing this strange issue on a webi report after some data updation in the SAP BW infocube.
    The webi report is based on the universe which is connected to an infocube in our BW dev system. After some data updation in the cube, we had tested the report in webi rich client and everything was working fine (the newly updated data from cube was reflecting). Now, we had tested the same report in infoview, but it was showing the old data only. We had tried exporting the report once again to infoview, refreshed universe structure; but without any success.
    What appeared to be even more strange was that the last refresh time was also not changing. While running the report in the infoview it hardly takes 40secs. But on refreshing it says the last refresh time was 5mins.
    Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Arun.

    it sounds like when you refresh report in Infoview you get the cached data, it never goes to the DB to fetch new one...
    You'll need to enable traces on webi processing server as well as SOFA/MDX tracing and review log files to see if requests are going to db or not and what is being returned.
    It could be at webi proc level or at your BW level.
    You can also try disabling webi caching in webi proc server properties and see what happens.

  • Failed Scheduled webI reports

    I am running a BO Enterprise 3.1 on a Windows Server 2003 machine.  I have recently updated to SP2.  I am having the issue of any webI report that I would like to schedule that was created on 3.1 pre-SP2 and post SP2 fails when scheduled.  My webI reports that existed on BOXI R2 seem to be behaving.
    I'm getting the following error.
    "Could not save the document to the repository for the following reason: [repo_proxy 17] unable to find the info : unknown session (WIS 30567) "
    A work around seems to be re-writing the reports in deskI, but there are too many of them for that to be feasible. 
    Any ideas?

    I have encountered the same error today.  We upgraded to XI 3.1 SP2 a few months back, but this is the first time I have seen this error.  I read the SAP NOTE 1381401 on the support site, however the Note doesn't mention any work around.  I took a stab in the dark and restarted the servers AdaptiveJobServer, AdaptiveProcessingServer, InputFileRepository, OutputFileRepository, WebIntelligenceProcessingServer from the Central Management Console.  This seemed to resolve the issue, although I probably didn't need to restart all of these servers.
    The SAP Note mentions in the Symptoms that this occurs in a clustered environment, but our environment isn't clustered, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

  • CsEX error in Webi Reports - restarting DSLBridge

    Hello,
    We are facing this issue where the webi reports throw out csEX error.
    Stats: BO 4 sp6 on a physical server windows 2008 (application server). There are 2 tomcat servers (web servers). The application server has 32 GB RAM.
    Based on a document from SAP, I broke down the Adaptive Processing Server into multiple servers. I have 2 DSLBridgesServers each has 4 GB of RAM assigned. (Xmx4 in the command line).
    We updated to BO4.0 SP6 4 days ago from BO 4.0 SP4 and are facing issues, the webi report throws "csEX" error. This only happens when I refresh Datawarehouse reports (Oracle 10g) not the SAP BW reports (webi reports using BICS connection to BW). Im stumped on this issue and the only remedy I see out of this is to restart both the DSLBridgeServers. After the restart of the DSLBridge Servers the reports seem to refresh fine till for about 5 to 8 hours. And then the "csEX" error appears again.
    can anyone please guide me what needs to be done to resolve this issue. thanks
    Regards,
    samique

    Hi Jawahar,
    thanks for guiding me to this KB, I did the suggested modification i.e:
    Add the following to the command line for the DSLBridgeServer (adaptive processing server)
    "-Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory=C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0//dataAccess/connectionServer".
    I'm now testing by refreshing the webi reports. Lets see if I see the "csEX" error again.

  • Scheduled WEBI reports based on File Events not retrieving data

    Dear All,
    We are facing performance related issues with Scheduled WEBI reports based on file based events.
    When running Web Intelligence on demand it takes  4to 5 Minutes.
    Scheduling the same report in Excel format it takes more than 20 minutes.Schedule status showing success but no data found in Excel instance.
    Env:BOXI3.1 Sp3
    Windows 2003
    It woud be great if any one can share your ideas.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    Is your report has prompts?
    if you have prompts , make sure that you assigned prompts in the schedule also.
    Hope you have multiple webi processing servers and adpative job servers for better scheduling performance.
    Try below solution .
    On the BusinessObjects Enterprise server, navigate to the folder <install root>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_X86\dataAccess\connectionServer
    Open the file cs.config in a text editor such as Notepad
    Search the file contents for the string "Traces Active"
    Modify the line from  <Traces Active="Yes">   to  <Traces Active="No">
    Save the cs.config file
    Restart the Web Intelligence Processing Server

  • Webi report: Issue Cannot retrieve dimensions from Cube

    Hello Experts,  We're facing an issue with a partical set of Webi reports in Quality environment. The reports are BW reports based on OLAP BICS connectivity on top of Bex queries.y  Below is the scenario and the issue:  1. The backed Bex queries have been trasported to Quality BW system and they're running fine when run from RSRT or Bex analyzer. 2.The Webi reports along with the BICS connections have been migrated to the Quality box and the BICS connections have been editied so that they point to the Quality BOX bex queries and they're testing and responding to the connection successfully. 3. The Webi reports pointed to the Dev Box in the Dev BOBJ system are working fine, but when the same reports for which the connections were repointed in Quality as above, are giving the error "Cannot Retrieve Dimensions from Cube".  Steps taken: a. Deleted the reports and the BICS connection from Quality environment and remigrated the reports,connecitons and changed the connecitons but still the issue persists. b.Tried finding the root cause and got the following issue in the Bex query in Quality: There are filters put in the Bex query . All other filters are working fine except 0CALMONTH. We tried putting all sorts of variables on 0CALMONTH, but the moment a variable is put on 0CALMONTH, this issue occurs. But when we tried removing the variable from 0CALMONTH in filters and restricted it to a single value, the Report works fine.  However the same is not an issue in the Dev Box and all queries with similar variables are working fine.  So we're thinking this might be an issue on the BW backend and the cube might have to be transported again to the Quality Box.  ANy quick suggestions or inputs on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and regards, Abhishek

    Hi Abhishek,
    I am facing same issue.Have you resolve this issue?

  • SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

    Hi,
    I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
    We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
    Below are the settings that I had done:
    Setting of Characteristic in BW:
    Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
    Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
    Example data:
    Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
    I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
    Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

    Hi
    We are having Backend as SAP BW.
    Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
    i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
    My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi,  we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes  to open.
    This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
    Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
    So can you suggest any solution?

    Hi Gaurav,
    We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
    What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
    (so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
    or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
    this will result in that object being added to the result set.
    Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
    the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
    The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
    One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
    (less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
    Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
    Good luck!

  • Performance issue and data getting interchanged in BO Webi report + SAP BW

    Hi,
    We are using SAP BW queries as the source for creating some BO reports.
    Environments :
    SAP - SAP BI 7.1
    BO - BO XI 3.1
    Issues :
    The reports were working fine in Dev and Q with less data. But when we point the universes to BW prod ( where we have much data), the reports are taking quite a long time to refresh and getting timed out. This query has some key figures which are having customer exits defined to show only one month data. And also BW accelerators are updated for the infocubes pertaining to this query. The BO report is giving data if we apply a filter in 'Query Panel' of Webi to show only current month dates. But then the issue is the values are getting interchanged for many objects. For ex: there are 2 objects- ABS version and Market region. The values are getting interchanged in the BO level.
    Please let us know if anything needs to be done in BO or BW to fix this issue if anyone has faced the same
    Also Please let us know if customer exits and accelerators works fine with BO
    Thanks
    Sivakami

    Hi,
    Thanks Roberto. We'll check the notes
    @Ingo,
    We are able to solve the performance issue by removing unused Key figures and dimensions from the query, but the column value interchange issue still persisits
    The build version is  - 12.3.0
    Query Stripping
    Where should we enable query stripping? When i went through some documentation it was written that it'll be enabled automatically from XI 3.1 Sp3. Can you please let us know if its so and what we need to do to enable it.
    The coulmn interchange is happening when we use dimensions in a certain order. When product type is used along with Market region. Market region shows values of Product type also in Webi report.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sivakami

  • Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

    While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
    The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
    In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
    In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
    Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

    How come , if  it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
    you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable  for that Iobj .

  • Issue with webi report on BEx query

    Hi,
    I have created a universe on top of Bex query.  There is no issue in creating and exporting the universe.  But when I try to create a webi report out that BEx query, I am not able to see the values.  Say if I have a column called "Company"  I am getting the value as "All Company" and so on.  What will be the issue?
    But when a report is generated out of BEx analyser they are able to see the values properly.
    Same user credentials are used in both the places (Importing the query into universe, Connecting to BEx Analyser) .
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subbu S

    Hi Subbu,
    the universe will generate a L00 item and a L01 item. The L00 item shows the All member of the characteristic in the case of a flat list and the Top level nodes from a hierarchy. the L01 item should give you what you looking for.
