" Universe connection through beq Query "

Hai Friend's,
I have Developed a Bex query ,I have used Calculation's in the Bex Query,I have used CKF(Calculated Key figure), when I am connecting it to the Universe ,It is not connecting.It is throwing an error. Can you let me know the steps to solve the Issue.

Hi,
Is your connection getting connection test passed? are you able to see your queries in the list to connect?
What type of connection are you trying to use "Application Sever" or "Message Server".
If you are using Message Server try with Application Server.
Provide more information.
Thanks,
Muiz Ahmed

Unable to use SSO with universe connection on top of SAP BW query

Hi,
We're creating a universe on top of a SAP BW query by using universe designer.
We logon to universe designer by using SAP credential.
When creating the connection, we set the option "Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time" in order to logon to BW server. But when clicking next, an error arises:
"DBD: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data"
The strange thing on this is that there is one laptop which is able to set up this kind of connection, while all other workstations are not able to set it because they recieve that error (we all work against the same BO server). So this looks like an installation issue.
We reinstalled SAP Integration Solutions on those workstations, but problem is still the same.
I found thread: Universe Connection Authentication on SAP BW which talks about the same issue, but solution involves uninstalling Xcelsius. But we do need Xcelsius!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David.

Data Federator data source not available causes Universe Connection error

I created a Data Federator project that connects to 20 servers across US and Canada. All data sources are SQL Server 2005. The DF project maps 40 source objects into 4 target objects. I created a universe based on the DF project and we have been quite pleased with Webi query response. Today one of the source servers was taken off line and this generated a connection error when trying to access the universe (not trying to access the data source that failed). We do not want the universe connection to error when one source server is not available u2013 is that possible?
If the answer is no then I see us abandoning what appears to be a great solution for real time distributed reporting and resorting to ETL and moving data.

Hi Chapman,
Can you be little elobrate on what you have done to solve the issue.

OFFICE 2013 - Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Query

Hi, I have installed office 2013 on a pc and used excel to run a query on a database and created a .qry query so I can use this data in word mail merge.
The query runs ok and returns the data.
However, when I go to take the data in through mail merge it comes up with a message "Confirm data source" ( I enabled this after reading kb article below) so I select "MS query files via DDE(*.qry, *.dqy)" as this is a .dqy I select
it. It says at the bottom of the screen word is starting query then comes up with the error "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Query to complete the current task".
I have re-did the query from scratch and no difference I tried the recommend kb article 918594 and it still doesn't work.
I recreated the odbc link and still no joy.
Has anyone come across this and have they a solution I would be grateful.
Thanks
Tom

Error when refreshing WEBI report with Universe Connection Type "SSO"

Hi Experts:
We are trying to refresh the Webi report in Infoview with Universe Connection set as "Use Single Sign On when refreshing the report at view time", so that we can leverage SAP OLAP authorization variable from Bex Query which the Universe is built on.
However got the error of "incomplete logon data" after all the configurations done following below blogs:
SNC Part 1
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2
SNC Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-2-of-2
We already have Win AD SSO to SAP setup, and in BO CMC, Win AD user is mapped to SAP user ID.
The SNC settings are:
- AD Account: service.test.bobj (all lower-letters)
- 32-bit gsslib on the BO server, and 64 bit on the BW server side.
- SNC0: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SU01 --> BO_Service ; SNC: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- Entitlement system tab --> username: BO_Service
SNC Name: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SNC settings tab:
SNC Lib: c:\winnt\gsskrb5.dll
Mutual Authentication settings: p:SAPServiceBP0 at DOMAIN
In CMC, the role can be imported if "RFC activated" option unchecked in SNC0.
I found a few threads on the same topic, but they are all not answered:
SNC Client side configuration error
SNC Configuration Error: Incomplete logon Data
Can you please provide details of the solution if you have impleted a same scenario successsfully, or any thoughts to help the investigation?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, we are trying to set up server side trust and enable SSO; but we still couldn't success.
What we did is:
1. We followed installation guide chapter 6, generate certificate and PSE, etc. All looks good.
2. Then we still have the "incomplete logon data" error when refreshing webi report after logon using Windows AD user ID.
3. Then we trace the PFC connection, the log is as below. We checked several BO notes, e.g. 1500150, 1461247.. The part bothers us is that we even don't have URI displayed in the log when system trying to use SNC, and we couldn't get more info on this which make us very difficult to diagnosis.
Can you please help? Thanks a lot!

Steps to create a Universe based on Bex query

HI Gurus,
I am (first time ofcourse) creating a Universe based on a Bex Query. I searched on SDN to find steps to craete a universe on top of Bex query and found a document written by tej Trivedi and found other threads also which explains all the steps.
I understood from his document that in case of OLAP Universes the Structure pan would be empty. And I will not see joins etc..Is that true?
How can I make sure that I will see data?
Regards

Hi,
I believe this is a cross post from here Re: BEX Query Objects dont show in Universe ?
So i will put my answer again:
Hi,
If you can select your BEx query, but the 'universe outline' in the webi query panel stays blank (i.e no available objects in the webi query panel) then you don't have enough rights (authorizations) on the BW -side.
to prove it, try using a sap_all profile in the universe connection .
regards,
H
p.s. there is a large section on the required authorizations in the Admin guide. Also a note covers it : Note 1585948 - No objects are visible in the query panel when creating a report using Interactive Analysis or BI Launchpad

AUTHENTICATION MODE setting in universe connection.

Hi All,
I have an issue Related to Universe designer connection. Our system is BOE XI 3.1(Fix pack 1.3),sap integration kit, universe connection is based on sap bw query.
                     Main problem is i created a universe with connection to sap bw query(when creating the connection and there in connection for AUTHENTICATION MODE i set it to (*Use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time).* i am able to create reports using this universe in webintelligence in infoview and as well as rich client. But if our developer uses the same universe and creates Rich client report he is not able to create the report, but he can use infoview and the webintelligence reports are working fine. One more point he is able to use the same universe if the connection is modified by setting Authentication mode to Use specified user name and password then its working fine in Rich client. He is not able to create the universe in his machine setting this authentication mode to Use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time its throwing error unable to connect to sap bw. But if he specifies the authentication mode to Use specified user name and password its working fine. I was able to create the universe with any type of authentication mode on my machine.

Hi SK,
Can you Please make me clear first what is your intend to create the connection (*Use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time) for creating universe.
I have the solution to guide you Guys Please be clear to me what is your intend to created universe connection with (*Use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time) for creating universe.
I am confident there is no need to change the universe connection to (*Use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time)for this simple issue right now.
Please do keep me posted if you need any issues related to BOBJ.
One Suggestion Please never use the word Main problem as a BO GUY.
Nothing is impossible with BOBJ tool .

Service name from user level through any query

Hi
One of my user want to find the oracle service name through SQL query from user level. This user is not a DBA.
With DBA privs this querry
SELECT NAME, VALUE FROM V$PARAMETER WHERE NAME = 'service_names';
brings the correct result. But user he will not have the access to read the V$PARAMETER table which is part of sys object.
select sys_context('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME')
SYS$USERS
this query is not giving my the correct result. Is there any way we can grab the service name from user level.
Your cooperation is highly appreciated.
Rao

select sys_context('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;You need to note that the result of the above depends on how you connect to the database. If you connect using NET Service, it should give you the SERVICE_NAME.
SQL> conn sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> show parameters service_name
NAME TYPE VALUE
service_names string testdb
SQL> select sys_context('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME')
SYS$USERS
SQL> conn sys@testdb as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> select sys_context('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME')
testdb
SQL> conn scott@testdb
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> select sys_context('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME')
testdb
SQL> conn scott
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> select sys_context('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SERVICE_NAME')
SYS$USERS
SQL>
So you need to understand the use of sys_context

Universe Connections migration

Hi ,
we are using SAP BW Query as the sourse for the Creation of Universe with connections to DEV system.
please let me know how should we migrate the universe connections from DEV to QA?
or how is that we can point the universe connection from DEV to QA ?
Regards

Hey Jaya,
the only thing i don't understand is how a universe can have more than connection.
>> It is not possible But this feature is avail in BO XI 4.0
I told Connection mat be same but we are in diff systems (Dev/QA/Prod)
the connection to the universe is changed in the parameters if i'm not wrong.
>> Yep
Can let me know the steps where the connection can be changed and pointed to all the systems at the same time.
>> At same time not possible.
Possible if you open all 3 systems(D-Q-P) then change connections in each system.
Hope you understood.
Gracias...!!

Universe Connections for SAP BEx

Hi All,
We are planning to build couple of Universes over SAP BEx query.
Could anyone inform if we should go for creating a single connection and use it for all Universes (or) Create multiple connections.
Does having different connections for different Universes(though Data Warehouse-BW) is same helps in increasing report performance?
Thank you.
- AK

Hi,
It all depends on your requirement. There are few ways.
You can create one super universe on the top of your BW Query and then create your reports using your super universe.
Or you can create multiple universes and then create your reports.
Basically one universe one connection. SAP Universes are different then other universes where you create one connection.
In SAP environment one universe one connection.
Hope it helps.

Bashir Awan

Error message -1073807298 when connecting through USB

Hi,
I am trying to retrive data from an instrument through serial port as well as USB,
My vi works smoothly while connecting through serial port.
But when i try to connect through USB Error code-1073807298
is coming. This error comes when visa try to write to the instrument.
From visa configure serial port.vi no error is coming.
Can someone suggest a method to solve this problem...

I get exactly the same error code with a TCP raw socket connection, the weirdest thing is that I actually can read the result of the query. I fixed the problem reading one byte at a time but this is very inefficient (it uses a while loop) and I still get warnings, so I'd like to know if there is a way to fix this or if there is an equivalent of the "Serial Settings: Number of Bytes at Serial Port" for VISA TCP connections....
This is the WARNING that I get when I read one byte at a time:
Warning 1073676294 occurred at VISA Read in LV.vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0x3FFF0006) The number of bytes transferred is equal to the requested input count. More data might be available.
This is the ERROR that I get when I set the byte count to 1024:
Error -1073807298 occurred at VISA Read in LV.vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF003E) Could not perform operation because of I/O error.
I enclosed the VI for your review,

External HD connected through network cable

Ok, I am a brand new mac user and am extremely confused. I have an external HD that connects through a cat5 cable. There is a plug in the drive for usb, but its the same jack as the computer so I guess I cannot connect it that way. It's a couple years old so I think things have changed a bit.
Anyway, when I plug it in I can't seem to find the drive anywhere. is it supposed to appear in finder or what about disk utility? It just doesn't seem to exist and I am looking for something like windows explorer to find it. When I plug it into my pc I can see it, but not my mac. I can't really reformat the drive either because I can't see it on my mac. Am I doing something wrong, or will the cat5 cable just not work?
Thanks

SQL/VBA SDK to view Universe Connection details from CMS

Hi
Am trying to find Database Name and User Name from Universe Connections. It looks like all these details are placed as a Property bag. So am looking for VBA code to view the Property bag or any direct Query Builder SQL to fetch these details.
Please share your Inputs.
Thanks.

Hi Ted
The MetaData DataConnection objects housed in the CMS repository don't have a public API associated with them.
Thanks for your information. I found the below code from BOB forum which gets Database Name etc from CMS, but am not able to make it work this in VBA (Excel Macro).

Connections = iStore.Query(QueryStr)
For Each ConnectItem In Connections
Dim sr As New System.IO.StringReader(ConnectItem.Properties("SI_METADATA_PROPERTIES").Properties("SI_METADATA_BVCONN_ATTRIBUTES").Value)

Universe Connection not stable

Hi,
I have been using Universe Designer(BOXI 3.1) and connect to an Oracle 11g DB. The issue is that the connection I have created is not stable. When I test the connection, it would show me "Server is responding!" and suddenly within a matter of few minutes it would again lose connection.
I have never seen any particular pattern in which is happens, but have done the following checks when the connection goes down:
- Connect and run a query from SQL developer - Runs fine and its quick as well!
- Monitor connection between the 2 servers - No packet drops!
- Monitor TNSPING to the DB server directly - that works fine too!
I have around 7-8 active universe's and they all contain the same Connection String as parameter. I have also tried creating different connection for different universe's but I think it hardly made a difference.
Any help would be really great.....thanks in advance.

Hi,
Keep it simple if you can reproduce from Universe layer : You want to trace the Universe Designer Client Tool
See Note 1200800 - How to enable tracing for Universe Designer and Desktop Intelligence
also, are you dealing with Webi or DeskI reports downstream?
Consider things like the user used in the universe connection
Check the windows domain account
Check that the Windows environment is seeing the DNS first in the network connections.
Make sure the Windwos environment is part of the same domain.

H
