Unable to view report from Bex Report Designer

Hi,
When I log on to Bex Report Designer, I click execute button, it is giving a blank page. It is neither giving any error nor any message. We have recently installed NW2004s and BI Cont 703. Now my problem is how to make report visible in the BEX Report Designer.
Thanks,
Subhani

Dear Prakash,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have religiously followed your Blog. As far as I know any one who wanna setup BEx has to follow this. It is the one place where all the settings related to BEx front end were discussed and disclosed. Thanks a lot for your exemplary attempt.
Though you have mentioned about the .NET frame work I could not understand how it will effect the "insert" menu of BEx report designer. But i have checked that also and its matching with your recommendations.
My question is pretty simple. With sapgui6.40compilation5 with all the latest patches both for gui, BW and BI. Will i get the options of <i>"Report section", "Report section based on Querry"</i>in the <b>"insert"</b> menu of BEx report designer.
The mentioned options <i>"Report section", "Report section based on Querry"</i> were shown in the webnair of BEx report designer. Pls check the link:
(As per the SDN these menu items should be available in BEx report designer..Pls observe the Insert menu in the very first few seconds)

We have installed and upgraded the system to spstack 8 and done all the settings. Our front end is also updated with the service packs. But we could not get those options. If you can give me your mail id i can send you the screen shots.
Thanks & Regards,

Unable to run query from BEx query designer

Hello,
I am connecting remotely to clients environment. I am not able to run query from Bex query designer. System generates IE window with URL
http://server.com:50300/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?QUERY=ZCOPCM02_Q017&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X&DUMMY=9
but query result isnt shown.
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
What kind of setting do I need to change to get query working?
thanks

Hi Comandante,
If you are not able to Execute the Query using Query designer, you can also execute the query using RRMX or RSRT transaction for now until the issue with the query designer is solved ..
Hope it helps!

Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

Hello,
i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting. Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
So , if you have any feedback , advise....
thanks in advance,
Rgds,

Hi,
WEBI don't replace BEX reports, is for different audience, in fact BEX is for OLAP reports and analysis.

Calling ABAP report from BEx query

Good day!
I want to call ABAP report from BEx query by right-clicking on the field and using context menu. I know that transaction RSBBS is used (sender-receiver connecting), but I don't know how to transfare data to ABAP program
In ABAP program I want to know at least data from those cell in BEx query, that was right-clicked.

Depending on your requirement and environment, you have the following options:
1. Use an info spoke and make selections as you would in a query.
2. USe FM RS_VC_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA_FLAT to send the data to a file and your ABAP can read this file.

Moving all reports from Bex to BO

Hello all,
Post Upgrade from SAP BW 3.5 to 7.0. we are moving all the Bex reports to Business objects .....voyager, webi, crystal , xcelcius.
Please advise on the strategy that needs to be used.
If anyone moved their all their reports from BEX to BO, please give inputs.
My chanllege would be performance here.i was asked a question from client if we could in any way enhance the performace of the report on the BO side once the universe is created on BEx query or Infocube....
i worked on BO-BI integration in the past but PERFORMANCE was not an issue there.But this time it is.
Any inputs on my questions above Highly appreciated.

Hello,
this is a very broad question. will try to give some input and pointers to material.
First of all its important to make sure the actual requirements are well understood the the selection of the tools is well understood. None of the tools will solve all requirements and problems.
On the requirements that are typically Bex Analyzer kind of requirements you might want to consider to stay on BEx Analyzer and then move to Pioneer.
take a look here as well:

CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

I have recently upgraded our Crystal Reports version from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to Crystal Reports 2008. After upgradation I am facing the problem "Memory full.OtherErrorFailed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation" when I am trying to export the report from Crystal Reports 2008 Report viewer, or directly from the code behind. The application is hosted application.

Report.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Filename);

GC.Collect();

Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
Regards, Grant.

Settings for SAP Portal start page from BEx Query Designer

Hi!
In order to see queries I would like to use SAP Enterprise Portal from BEx Query Designer.
When I push "execute" button within BEx Query Designer a wrong page will be shown in browser.
I changed the settings in table RSPOR_T_PORTAL, but still get the wrong Portal page shown in browser.
Question:
What is the transaction/table/report to customize the portal start page using by BEx Query Designer?
Thank you very much!
regards
Jürgen

Hi Anton?
Many thanks for your reply.
But I mentioned that I changed the URL within table RSPOR_T_PORTAL and this does not help...
Do you speak Russian? Me too
Can you also help me with the following problem?
Hi!
I am about to implement SAP Best Practices scenario "B34: Accounts Receivable Analysis".
Therefore I load the data from SAP ERP IDES system into SAP NetWeaver 2004s system.
My problems are:
when I try to load the transaction data for Infosources 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_AR_6 from SAP ERP system the following happens:
- the status is getting u201Cyellowu201D (194 from 0 records)
- at the next day the status is getting u201Credu201D and I received the following error:
Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
System Response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Error handling:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the authorizations of the background user in the source system.
Comment:
I did not find any entries on "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system"
The Source system connection EC6CLNT100 is OK
Can some one help me to solve this problem?

Calling a report from a report (10g)

Hi
I am using DeveloperSuite 10g and Application Server 9.0.4 - I am trying to call a report from another report.
I believe I am correct in thinking that as buttons don't exist in reports any more I have to use a hyperlink containing the URL to the reports service with appropriate parameters to invoke the required report.
My problem is that when I click on the hyperlink I do not see the called report, but get an html screen saying "Oracle Report Status - Successfully run".
My hyperlink is formed like this:
/reports/rwservlet?module=reportb.rdf
Is there an additional parameter I must pass to get the report to display on the client browser window?
Thanks

Hi,
Can someone let me know as to what the maximum length of the URL string that could be formed? I believe in IE browser a maximum of 64,000 characters can only be formed. If I need to pass many parameters and the length of the values passed exceeds the default length in IE, the rest of the values will not be captured in the report server.
Please let me know on how to proceed with this problem.
