Unit Conversion - in both Webi reports and Dashbaord

Hi Gurus,
BOE XI 3.1
Datasource: SAP BW query.
In BOBJ, How to allow users to make a selection on US$ or Euros and display measures in US Dollars or Euros ?
Also, how to convert KGs to LBs ?
Data Flow:
SAP BW query -> OLAP Universe -> Webi Report
Thank you,
Dev
P.s: My BW users are currently able to see data ieither in US$ or Euros on 'SAP Portal' by doing a selection on the 'currency type' field.

Hi Kuldeep,
I tried them, but, they are not useful when US$ are involved. Looks like they work only for some currency types within Europe.
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thank you,
Dev

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,
As per your reply,with the promotion managament i have make the web services again manually in Dev system...Right?
Is there any way possible that i can transport the webservices and the webi reports usind Query AS A Web Service Designer. And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.
Can you please help?

Using project libraries for both web-based and AIR applications

I need to develop substantial code to build both web-based and AIR applications. Yes, they will have different features, especially when it comes to accessing files on the local file system.
However, 98% of the code can be shared.
I want to use a project library that can be used for both types of applications. Maybe using conditional compile when required to not use AIR API's in a web-based application.
I found this (somewhat old) warning:
Include Adobe AIR libraries Select this option if your library must use AIR features, such as access to the AIR APIs. Flex Builder then changes the library path of this new Flex Library project so that it includes airglobal.swc and airframework.swc. Web-based Flex projects cannot use this library.
Do not select this option if you are writing a generic library intended to be used only in a web-based Flex application, or in either a web-based or AIR-based application.
Does this apply to Flash Builder 4.5?

I have found a workaround, but it's quite clumsy, involving a transfer vector (in old-fashioned terms) in the main application for each function in the AIR library.
I have created a library for AIR classes only (fourdtext.fileOperations is there).
The AIR application provides "Function" values that any other code in the general-purpose libraries can use.
It works, but it's nasty.
In Main.mxml:
import com.fourdtext.fileOperations.AxFiles;
// this gets a list of native path strings, from and array of "File" objects
public var AxGetListFunction:Function = AxGetListRedirect;
private function AxGetListRedirect(list:Array):Vector.<String>{
return AxFiles.AxGetList(list);
In general-purpose code:
var list:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("air:file list") as Array;
var AxGetList:Function = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.AxGetListFunction;
listFiles = AxGetList(list);

Scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL.

Our customer found when they scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL, it will cost much more time than usual after they have their SIA restarts.
The first time it takes 4-5 times longer to receive a report in mailbox than next time onwards.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Hi Abishek,
If the schedule is taking 4-5 times longer to schedule following the SIA restart I suppose it is possible that the Webi Job Server and Webi Processing Servers are not fully registered with the CMS - can you check that.
Also can you test by ensuring that if there are any Webi Job Servers\Webi Processing Servers in the environment which are stopped\disabled, can you retest after deleting those servers. There is a bug with XI3.1:
ADAPT01371367
Description:
Scheduled jobs often have a delay when the system is upgraded to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP 2.2 or FP 2.3.This problem also happens when some of the servers required for scheduling are stopped and disabled. In this case, the Adaptive Job Server (AJS) tries to confirm if all available Webi Report Servers are running, and this causes the delay in running the scheduled jobs.
New Behavior:
This problem has been resolved.
Do you have a test system where you could install FP3.1 and check the fix?
The only "workaround" I could suggest would be to ensure that all services needed for the schedule are running\enabled (Adaptive Job Servers and Webi Processing Servers). This will stop the Adaptive Job Server from its continual querying for those servers. The adverse effect of this is that the more unnecessary services which are running will necessitate increased network communication.
To check if this is the actual issue you are hitting, you would need to trace the schedule and check for messages like this in the logs:
[2010-08-27 12:02:08,769] [TID:24] [ERROR] [webi.PublishingHelper.<init>():89]: unable to retrieve all mandatories servers to proceed this job
Alternatively, log a message with SAP Support for further investigation.

Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST when using Dimensions in Prompt

Hi,
I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] } ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002] failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }
ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] } ) ON ROWS
FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
Then it worked Fine!!! If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
regads,
Nisha.

Hi Ingo,
I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
Also,
I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!! We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
Please let me know your inputs.
regards,
Nisha.

BI 7.0 Web Report and Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We have recently performed technical upgrade to BI 7.0
Now we would like to migrate web reports to NW2004s functionality. Is it necessary to configure inbuilt BI Portal before we can use web reports?
Best Regards,
UR

Hi,
take a look at this note which describes how to setup BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. All required steps are mentioned. Additionally, this note contains a checklist to check the installation and configuration.
SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web
SAP Note Number: [917950 |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_sys/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d393137393530%7d]
In SAP NetWeaver 2004s, load is moved from AS-ABAP (BI-ABAP) to AS-Java (BI-Java). BI generates load on Portal (AS-Java), therefore BI users generate more load on Portal than normal Enterprise Portal users. See note 927530 for additional information about BI-Java sizing.
Which functionalities of BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s are requiring a Portal?
- New BEx Web Application Designer (Unicode, Command Wizard, ...)
- Exporting to PDF and Printing
- Integrated Planning
- Drag&Drop (Analysis Web Item)
- Web Items (Container Layout, Menu Bar, Tab Pages, Button Group, ...)
- Formatted Reporting with BEx Report Designer
- Document Integration with storage in Knowledge Management
For details, see Release Notes for Usage Type BI-Java under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/index.htm
If you don't want to use the new BEx Web functionality, you can still use BEx Web 3.5 Runtime that is running only with Usage Type AS-ABAP.
Take also a look:

Scheduling a webi report and export the result in PDF on local disk

I'm working with the new SDK to schedule a report and export its result on my local c:\ hard disk drive. My code give no errors at run but I do not find the file on my root.
The Instance counter of the report increase each time, so there is a refresh.
Is something wrong in the following lines? I just follow the examples give in the documentation for scheduling.
Thanks in advance !
Here is my code :

Hi Jerome,
I have gon ethrough your code again and there we are missing the destination plugin.
We have to query the info store to get the disk unmanaged plugin.
Below is the code
IDestinationPlugin destPlugin = null; //Destination plugin returned by InfoStore Query
        IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = null; //Object returned by the getSchedulingOptions() method
        List listDestination = null; //List object to hold destination file location
        IDestination destination = null; //Destination Interface
        //retrieve the Scheduling Options and cast it as IDiskUnmanagedOptions
        //This interface is the one which allows us to add the file location
        //for the scheduling
          for(int i = 0; i< oInfoObjects.getResultSize();i++)
           oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(i);
           destPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)iStore.query( "SELECT * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PARENTID=29 and SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
          diskUnmanagedOptions = (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
        listDestination = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
          String dest = "c:\\";
        listDestination.add (dest + oInfoObject.getTitle()+".pdf");
          schedInfo = oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo();
        schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
        schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
        //retrieve the IDestination interface from the SchedulingInfo object
        //use the setFromPlugin() to apply the changes we made to the
        //IDestinationPlugin object returned from the IStore
        destination = schedInfo.getDestination();
        destination.setFromPlugin(destPlugin);
          iStore.schedule(oInfoObjects);

Data Different in Web reports and Bex Report

Data discrepancy between Webi Report and same Query fired on SQL Server 2k5

Hi ,
We are facing an issue in BO XI R2.
We need to run a Webi report in which negative values for forecasting data for year 2011 and 2012 should be displayed.
When we are running this report for negative values, we are getting message u2018There is no data corresponding to this queryu2019.
Then we tried executing the same query on Database. Here at db level we got the correct required result.
So now we are not able to find the reason for data discrepancy .
Why the same query generated by Webi is providing correct data when fired on reporting database and not when running the Webi Report.
Checklist we have gone through for this troubleshooting is-
-Connections of Universe (Is universe pointing to same database or not)
-Any filter condition present at universe level and at report level.
Could anyone please help on this.
Regards,
Vaibhav

Vaibhav,
Have you tried the following when you are in WebI: go under the Edit Query panel, click on the "SQL" icon, and review the query that is getting generated? At this point you can also click on the "copy" option, then paste this query into your SQL application analyzer and run to see what results are generated. To me, it sounds like the portion trying to generate the "minus" sign might be getting tripped up causing the disconnect....
Thanks,
John

How to have both Classic Report and Interactive Report from the same page?

Hello APEX developers,
I want to copy a page consisting of master-detail form together with its data, as in data stored in the tables.
I've generated a master-detail form(which by default having its detail report as a classic report). I want to copy this page and then migrate this classic report to Interactive Report. This way, I have both the classic master-detail form with report AND the master-detail Interactive Report.
I've tried doing this but ended up getting a new master-detail Interactive Report page without its data.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi everyone,
Solved already. What a relief! Kindly ignore this post.

Retrive SQL from Webi report and process it for large volume of data

We have a Scenario where, we need to extract large volumes of data into flat files and distribute them from u2018Teradatau2019 warehouse which we usually call them as u2018Extractsu2019. But the requirement is such that, Business users wants to build their own u2018Adhoc Extractsu2019. The only way, I thought, to achieve this, is Build a universe, create the query, save the report and do not run it. Then write a RAS SDK to retrieve the SQL code from the reports and save into .txt file and process it directly in Teradata?
Is there any predefined Solution available with SAP BO or any other tool for this kind of Scenarios?

Hi Shawn,
Do we have some VB macro to retrieve Sql queries of data providers of all the WebI reports in CMS.
Any information or even direction where I can get information will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
BW Web Publisher Toolbar
The version of the toolbar that you use with the Web Publisher, depends on whether you store the Web templates on the BW server or the ITS server (see Determining Path and ITS Settings).
If you have chosen the ITS as the server, the toolbar has the following functions:
Symbol
Function
Create new ITS Web template
You use this function to create a new Web template.
Check out ITS Web Template
You use this function to check out an ITS Web template, and store it locally. Storing the ITS Web template locally, means that you are able to change it, by adding a new item, for example. You either overwrite the old ITS Web template, or create a new one. You have to store the new ITS template under a new name.
Check in ITS Web Template
The ITS Web template is checked in, and saved in the BW system.
Publish to ITS
The ITS Web template is stored on the ITS you select.
Display Web template in the Browser
The Web template that has been checked in and published on the ITS, is displayed in the Web Browser.
Copy HTML tag to clipboard
You use this function to save the item as an HTML tag on the clipboard.
Wizard
This function takes you to the Web Publisher Wizard.
See also:
Creating Web Reports with the Web Publisher Wizard
If you have chosen BW as the server, the toolbar has the following functions:
The publish function is deactivated, because it is only used in conjunction with ITS Web templates. The other symbols have the same functions as described in the above table, but they refer instead to Web templates that are stored on the BW server.
Views
The saved query views that the Web reports are based on, are displayed in the Views field. You use the Switch Workbook button to get to the Open dialog, where you open queries in other workbooks.
Items
The items that are already available for the view you have chosen are displayed in the Items field.
Choose New Item to create a new item, and to specify the item type used (map, chart, table, navigation block, and so on).
Choose Change Attribute to determine the value of the highlighted attribute for the item you have chosen.
Choose Save item to save the item you have been editing.
Choose Delete item to delete the selected item.
Properties of the Current Item
In the Properties of the current item field, the attributes that correspond to the item type you have selected are displayed. Depending on the type of attribute, you activate or deactivate attributes by double-clicking on the relevant attribute, and you determine the value of the attribute with either a double-click, or by choosing the Change Attribute... function.
You can convert the spool to PDF using the program RSTXPDFT5 or
using the fun module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
then you can mail it to others using the fun module
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

Hi All,
I have an issue here.As I have 2 reports in WebI created and report1 will be a summary report and i have a object in report1 which is like a hyperlink like for eg 2001,2002,2003 and when i click on 2001 it should open up the report2 and give the Quarter,Q2,Q3,Q4.
Regards
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
U will have to use the concept of OpenDocument API.
Following are the steps for your question/difficulty.
1. Open a report in webi having an object year.
2.Open another report and have the objects year and quarter.
Type the below link in the Formula toolbar. The syntax is as follows.
="<a href=http://Server Name/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=Name Of The Second Reprt Try save this without space&s&lsSEnterYear:="[Year]">"[Year]+"</a>"
and in the properties window in the Read Cell Content As choose hyperlink.
You will get exactly what your ver looking for.
Hopefully this solves your problem.
Regards,
Bernard.
