Unable to create Business Layer on top of SAP BW OLAP Connection - BI 4.0

Friends,
Need an useful information, why can't we create a business layer on top of SAP BW OLAP connection which is built with BICS driver.
Today when i tried to create a business layer in IDT tool of BI 4.0 it didnt allow me to do so. Is it a s/w bug or am i following a wrong approach. I do know, we can create a .unx universe through relational connection. But i dont want that, please provide your input.
thanks,
Tilak

Hi,
this question has been asked many times before, so a search will reveal your answer.
as the warning told you when you tried the workflow in IDT - business layers aren't supported for Bics connections - i.e. you can't create a UNX ontop of Bex using BICS..
unfrotunately, it was a strategic product decision that seemingly can't be reversed/influenced, despite the inherent problems this causes.
There are lots of requests for this feature to be restored, on the Ideas Place here: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/community/ideas/businessanalytics/sbosemanticlayer
Please search and Vote for one.

  • Unable to create Business Foundation Layer in XI4 IDT using OLAP connection

    Hi,
    I have created a BICS connection against an SAP BW cube and want to use this connection in order to build a Business Layer in XI4 Information Design Tool. When I try to map this connection to the business layer, it errors out "Error occurred during connection selection - Connection is not supported".
    I'm currently using BO XI4 SP1 and SAP BI NW Eh1 SP6.
    Can anyone throw some light on how to create a Business Layer/Universe against an SAP BW cube?
    Also, can we query ECC systems using the new semantic layer in XI4 from WebI?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I'm getting the same error. Did you already solve the problem?
    Kind regards,
    Eric
    Edit:
    Hi,
    i found this in another thread:
    [Information Design Tool and SAP BICS|Information Design Tool and SAP BICS;
    Seems like SAP doesn't want to enable Universes on OLAP-Connections?!

  • Unable to create Business Place

    Hi Experts,
    I am unable to create Business Place in my Ides Server. when i follow the path Fin Acctg-Fin Acctg Global SettingWTax-Extended W Tax-Basic Settings-India-Define Business Place.
    Here i get the selection screen as Company Code  Section Code  Name 1 which should had been Company Code Business Place TAN Number.
    Please provide inputs how do i get this done.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Dear,
    If you want to create Business Place then maintain view J_1BBRANCV using transaction SM30.
    To create section code maintaining view J_1I_SECCODE using transaction SM30...
    Note
    Now Business Place is no longer used in Withholding Tax which has been replaced by Section Code.

  • Unable to create Business Partner in CRM

    Hi I am unable to Create a Business Partner (BP)in CRM though I could  see that the INBOUND  IDOC ( Msg type : CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M ) is getting posted.I created the IDOC through the test transaction (we19).Also i dont have any data to give in the field PARTNER_GUID without which the IDOC was failing.So i took an existing value from the table BUT000 and used it and it posted successfully but still the BP is not getting created in the system.Request you to pls suggest a solution..

    Kanth,
    You dont have to populate BP IDOC with partner guid.System generates partner GUID whenever BP is created.
    Try to create a BP without populating guid.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to create Business System with role Integration Server

    hi Experts,
    we are unable to create a BS with role of integration server, its throwing error with internal server 500.
    please advise. we do not have any issues while creating TS with role of WEBASABAP.
    thanks and regards,

    Hi Kesava,
    what is the purpose of creating a business system of type IS? This is automatically done in the post installation by CTC templates. So if the post installation is successfully executed, this should already be there. And if not you should check if the post installation was properly executed and if there where problems analyse why they occured.
    The creation of the BS is just one part of the game, so I would highly recommend to execute the hole post configuration via template or follow the help.sap.com and execute it step by step manually in the described order. Otherwise i guess this will not work.
    If there where just problems with SLD - please also have a look at SA Note 1117249 - Incomplete Registration of PI components in SLD
    best regards,

  • Create new dimension on top of SAP BW data

    Hi expert,
    I'm having a problem to create a new dimension on top on SAP BW data. I have a dimension details object called 'L01 G/L Account Key'. When I drag this object to the result object in the web intelligence, it display full data like '1000/30100'. How can I trim the data so it shows '30100'?.Is there any formula that support in universe?
    I don't want to do the formula inside the web intelligence report because I want to use this dimension to other reports as well.
    Please expert....help me!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Syahida-

    Hi,
    SAP BW MDX does not support calculations that return string or date: this is a limitation of SAP BW OLAP engine.
    By the way I found exceptions that satisfy your requirement.
    For instance you can manipulate a substring of a dimension only with NAME and UNIQUENAME attributes.
    Example, you can use these expressions:
    <EXPRESSION>right([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.name, 4)</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>right([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.uniquename, 4)</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>left([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.name, 4)</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>left([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.uniquename, 4)</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>mid([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.uniquename, 2,4)</EXPRESSION>

  • Unable to create a layer

    I am using CS5 which I have just bought.
    When I try to use layers I can open my first photo as the background which is fine.
    I then open a new layer, and my second photo. However instead of opening as a new layer it defaults as the background, replacing the original background.
    I cannot copy or paste the new photos onto the "background."
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to cure it.
    I am working in Windows 7

    Thank you for your help, however I am still struggling.
    I have opened the background, clicked "new layer" which brings up layer 1 in the panel down rhs above background.
    I then opened a second picture to be layer 1 but this becomes the background and layer 1 disappears.
    I double clicked on the name background which brought up the "New Layer" panel.
    I clicked ok and the picture became Layer 0.
    The background picture has completely gone, and the only panel down the panel down the rhs is Layer 0.
    Across the top the background and the second picture are listed but the background is now named as Layer 1.
    If I click on either of the photos they open in the main panel but I cannot open them together, and nor do they show down the rhs list.
    I have had no problems in the previous versions I have used and can only imagine I have the incorrect settings somewhere but have no idea where to look.
    Can anyone help me ............ PLEASE !

  • Unable to create Business Partner - Organization and Group

    Hello Experts,
    I am learning SAP CRM, I am working on version 5.0. I am not able to create BP in Org and Group, but I am able to create the person. I made few changes in BP role, since then I am not able to create BP in Org and Group...these both are deactivated...
    Plz help me...
    All valid answers would be given points....that's sure...!!!
    Thanks all..Happy Posting...

    Hi
    Check the roles that are not hidden.
    Are the categories Org and Group assigned to them?
    To do so, the path is IMG>Cross-Application Components> SAP Business Partner--> Business Partner > Basic Settings> Business Partner Roles-->Define BP Roles
    Here choose the option BP Role categories, now double click on the role you will see if it is permitted with the categories Org and Group.
    Incase you done have the Org or Group checked for your visible BP Roles, it will not permit to create Orgs and Groups. Check Org or Group category and you should be able to create BPs in these categories.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Unable to create sales Order/Inquiry object using SAP JCo

    Hi All,
    Pls can you help me.
    I am using BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2 and BAPI_Trancation_commit to create Inquiry object.From my Client JCo code there is no error.I debugged the BAPI_Trasaction_commit, there is no error,  return code is 0.  But th system is not creating Inquiry object. When I try the same from SAP GUI client with exactly the same input parameters it works.
    Do I need to set any option/value to commit the Inquiry to the SAP database? How to maintain the same session between the different BAPI's. Is there any issue with Session maintainance? I would appreciate if you can provide me any sample SAP JCo code for creating a Sales Order/Inquiry.
    Thanks
    mars

    Can you put the part of your code that fill the ORDER_PARTNERS table, also you could compare your coding with [Sales order creation using BAPI|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/SalesordercreationusingBAPI] in [Community Code Gallery |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/CommunityCodeGallery] (don't forget that there is a conversion exit on the partner role, so use internal codes "AG" and "WE")
