Unable to edit Web Intelligence query

We have a Web Intelligence report with multiple queries based on what I believe to be local data sources (text files/excel). The problem that we are having is that we need to make modifications to the report's queries but when we go to edit them we get a message saying "This query cannot be edited". I believe this is happening because "Editable" was deselected in the query properties but cannot be certain.
The report was created by a contractor who has recently left the company and no longer available to make updates. Is there any way to get back in to edit the query? Is there something else that may be causing the query to not be editable?

As John said that it is a permission issue. I had same case like that and I resolved my problem with following below steps ( It will be best to logging in as an Administrator account to CMC)
CMC-> Access Level -> Included Rights -> Application -> Web Intelligence -> Desktop Interface - enable local data providers
Hope this helps, who are searching same case.

  • Unable to edit Web Clipping repository.

    Hi,
    I'm connecting at ...portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping with user portal_admin and I'm unable to edit the Web Clipping Repository.
    I got this error message, I thought that portal_admin had those privileges... Any idea what I can do?
    Error : Insufficient Privilege. Please contact the administrator for privilege in Default Provider Builder Instance.

    I opened a TAR and they said that it was impossible with this version to navigate to an external web site through proxie needing a password, BUG. Supposed to be ok in the next version or patchset.
    That surprised me because many companies with web access have proxie user/password for evident security reasons. I don't understand why Portal developers haven't thought about that...

  • Unable to Edit a Bex Query

    Hi,
    I created a query in Bex recently and now it doesn't allow me to edit it.
    Gives me the following error when i open the uery:
    [E865(RSO)] System not set to changeable -objects are not changeable
    i checked in the table RSRREPDIR and there are two statuses for this query: an active and an inactive one.
    Any clues?
    Thank you
    Shalini

    Hi Shalini,
    Check in your system if you are allowed to change the query created.
    You may check this in transport connection, there is an object changeability pushbutton.
    Check what is the setting for ELEM.
    Everything changeable means: you can change transported objects as well.
    Original changeable means : if you have created the query locally in this system and saved it in local package, then it would be changeable. If the object is transported from other system,(or it has been developed in other system) then you wont be able to change it.
    Check if this is only for this query and this system that you have this problem.
    Also check if you are in dev if a proper BEx transport has been assigned to save the changes.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,
    Sunmit.

    If I change https to http I receive file. Or Business Object server have set ssl in Tomcat but we havenu2019t got set ssl in business object cms server. We want only to have ssl communication on our page but not in fat client Desktop Intelligence.
    The same function but not in edit windows work properly.
    We got Business Object R3.1 SP2.07

    SSL just on Tomcat (Client Browser to Tomcat implementation) should work with no problems with Java Report Panel. No SSL for CORBA communications between BOE servers needed.
    There must be some config issue - I think it'll be easier to find out and fix this if you open a support ticket.

  • Web-Intelligence Reports against Access Database

    We are unable to run Web-Intelligence reports against Microsoft Access Database which resides on a network drive
    Able to create Unvierse, and Universe Connection to the Access Database through ODBC, but unable to run Web-I reports, when tried we get the following error
    A database error occured. The database error text is: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path.  Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.. (WIS 10901)
    Did anyone tried to develop Web-I reports from Access database on a network drive, if so I request you to provide us details and your findings
    Thank you

    We run the designer on the same machine where BOBJ runs and also on other client machines, from disigner it works fine,
    The service account which is used to run BO Application Services has full control access to the network location and folder where the database resides
    We can run / refresh Desk-I and Web-I rich client but cannot run web-i reports against access database

  • Query Stripping in Web Intelligence

    Hi,
    I am unable to see Query Stripping option.
    Is it only available for particular database?
    What is the use of this?
    Please let me know?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Manjunath N. Jogin

    Query Stripping enables you to optimize the query generation automatically.
    It improves the performance of the report by sending the stripped query to the connection server.
    Each time you refresh a query, Web Intelligence strips the objects which areb not contributing to the report (directly or indirectly) from the report as well as from the SQL Viewer tab. It refreshes only the query that is directly related to the report.
    You can get Enable Query Stripping in the Query property.
    At the document level , select Enable Query Stripping in the Document Properties tab.
    u2022 Query Stripping is applicable only for OLAP database users.
    u2022 In a Query Stripping enabled document, if a query filter is used on a Measure object, Web Intelligence does not strip the objects.

  • Unable to open reports with Web intelligence

    Hi there,
    We are unable to open reports using Webi Intelligence.  Error of "Session is closed(Error: INF)" apears.
    I have restarted the SIA and Apache services with no luck.
    Version : Business Objects XI3, Edge Series professional
    Kind regards,

    Try changing the idle connection timeout on your Web Intelligence Processing Server to 60 minutes (from the CMC).
    If this doesn't work, please add a trace to the Web Intelligence Processing Server (add a -trace to the command line parameters of the server). and post the log for the relevant time period.

  • Unable to edit Document in WEB UI, when the status is Closed.

    Hi,
    I am working on Service Request Transaction in WEB UI. When the status of the document is set to closed, I am unable to edit the fields. Could you please help me why the system is behaving in this way? Any configuration is involved in this?
    Thanks,

    Some standard system statuses are preconfigured to disalowe certain activities when the system status s set. You can try setting in your status profile for that status the business transaction "Change document" to "Allowed".

  • Problem with a Bex Query Report with Web Intelligence

    Hello!
    I have a Bex query (with query Bex version 7.0) I'm connecting with Web Intelligence (4.0) but one of the attributes instead of displaying the description shows only the key, and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion.
    I wonder if there is a solution for this or if it is a problem of version 4.0 of Web Intelligence.
    I await your response,
    Greetings!

    Hi,
    Whereabouts in the application are you seing this problem?  (in the query panel conditions, in the prompt list of values, or in the table block? )
    also, what do you mean by "and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion" ?
    it's worth noting that the "key and text display properties" in the Bex Query Designer do not influence webi.  WebI consumes the global infoobject property from BW RSH1.
    Regards,

  • WIS 10901 with a Web Intelligence Report based on a BW-Query

    Hello together,
    first the Query had just one variable in the filter for Cal. year / month and everything worked fine. This Query was copied and a second variable for the business devision was added in the filter. On this new Query a universe was created. At the WebI-report there is crosstab (a structure with actual, actual-1, actual-2, budget etc. and 15 measurements from the query) and this one works fine. But at the moment the user put a bar chart with a restricted measurement that was created in the webi-report (like =if(="Actual") then ) the following error occur:
    Query 1 - Key Financials
    Datenbankfehler. Der Datenbankfehlertext lautet: Die MDX-Abfrage SELECT  { .[4M2YQXAGMNCVR5FJQSBC8QK4N] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY {[0CALMONTH].DEFAULTMEMBER} ON ROWS FROM SAP VARIABLES INCLUDING .[AT] INCLUDING .[201103] konnte nicht ausgeführt werden. Fehler Unbekannter Fehler bei der MDX Ausführung. (WIS 10901) 
    But if I run the same scenario at the Web Intelligence Rich Client it works.
    The MDX-Statement from the mdx.log:
    : SELECT  { .[4M2YQVSOXX4X4RNELXUYACT47], .[4M2YQW0DGVQMNE6URRXAKERTZ], .[4M2YQW81ZUCC60QAXLZMUGQJR], .[4M2YQWNF1RJR79T79A4BEKNZB], .[4M2YQWV3KQ5GPWCNF46NOMMP3], .[4M2YQXAGMNCVR5FJQSBC8QK4N], .[4M2YQXI55LYL9RYZWMDOISIUF], .[4M2YQXPTOKKASEIG2GG0SUHK7], .[4M2YQXXI7J60B11W8AID2WG9Z], .[4M2YQY56QHRPTNLCE4KPCYEZR], .[4M2YQYCV9GDFCA4SJYN1N0DPJ], .[4M2YQYKJSEZ4UWO8PSPDX2CFB], .[4M2YQYS8BDKUDJ7OVMRQ74B53], .[4M2YQWFQISY1ON9R3G1Z4IP9J], .[4M2YQX2S3OR68IW3KY8ZYOLEV] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( .[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, .MEMBERS ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, .[1ZH_SCGB] ON ROWS FROM SAP VARIABLES INCLUDING .[AT] INCLUDING .[201103]
    If I run this statement at MDXTEXT in SAP BW it also works. I also restarted the SIA and checked if all WebI-Servers in the CMC are running and activated.
    If I use the first Query (with just one variable) and put instead of the second variable in the second query a filter in the WebI-report it also works.
    So, does anyone has an idea what's the problem and how to solve it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi folks.
    Pepe - Were you able to resolve this error at your end? I have this same error appearing upon trying to 'Run query' in WEBI. Similar situation, in that there was a variable error so i took the variable out...refreshed structure, and deleted obsolete values. Everything parsed okay after that but the error appeared without variable as well.
    Jacques - There are no default values on the BEx side but the error is still occuring.
    Suggestion please.
    Thanks.

  • Creating multiple tab reports using the same query in Web intelligence

    Hi All,
    I have created a Universe on a BW Query which has fields as below
    AGE  Depaatment  Gender  Grade
    25       FIN                M            A
    27       LES               F            A+
    60       SWS            M             A++
    Based on this data i have created a WEbi report which shows all of these data under one tab.
    Now i create a new report tab in the same Webi Document by right cliicking the existing report and going to inset report and saving it.
    Similarly i create two more new report tabs.
    in each of these tabs i want to show data only for the concened departments.ie =1st report contains all the departments.
    2nd report contains only finance data, third contains only Les data  and fourth only SWs Data.
    Is it possible to create this report using the same query?
    Regards,
    Raj.

    You should use report filters, not query filters.
    A query filter will affect the entire document. Every report tab that pulls data from that query will be impacted. If you start with a single report, by default it shows the data from the query. If you duplicate that report tab, then it's still attached to the first query. There are various ways to create report filters (input controls, quick filter, invoking the filter area from the toolbar) and a report filter impacts only blocks on that report tab. You can even create block filters by clicking on the block first, then creating your filter.
    This is a fairly confusing bit for folks that are new to Web Intelligence.

  • Unable to open Webi report in edit mode

    Hi All,
    While i am trying to open a web intelligence report in "Modify" mode, its throwing an error "The document cannot be created or opened. The error code is: FILE NOT FOUND."
    Please let me know how to retrieve the report as i am not having a back up of the reports.
    Version: BO XI 3.1 SP3
    Regards,
    Akhil

    Hi Akhil,
    Generally if the "Preferences" you have set in InfoView for Creating/Modifying webi documents is Desktop, then this error is thrown.
    You have 2 choices:
    01. Change the preferences to "Web" and try the workflow.
    02. Do this workflow where WebI Rich Client is installed.
    Thanks
