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.

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

    Hi,
    Informatica has various ETL capabilities.
    It can interact with pretty much all databases.
    but to interact with SAP .. informatica has 2 special products
    Powerconnect for SAP BW.
    Powerconnect for SAP R/3.
    These enable you to load/ extract data from SAP and also call API's which are exposed by SAP.
    A BAPI is like a function module which can be called remotely.

  • Xcelsius connection for SAP NetWeaver BI

    Hi All,
    We are trying to create a xcelsius dashboard with combination of live office and SAP BI connection. We are using SAP authentication in infoview. My question is regarding SSO.
    As I understood that we cannot access this dashboard in Infoview and will have to create a URL objects in infoview for BEx Web Runtime URL and will have to enter login credential again for SAP BW.
    Is there a way to create SSO so user does not have to enter login credential. This is the same system which is configured in infoview as default SAP system.

  • Using OLAP Connection for SAP BW based on authentication type Prompt

    We try to use an OLAP Connection based on authentication type Prompt. This should cause a dialog to popup where the user can enter credentials for SAP BW. This works fine for Analysis for OLAP, but not in Web Intelligence and Design Studio.
    In design studio the following message appears:
    failed to connect to "BA1CLNT100"
    Configuration of destination
    customized_guid:FnTHdVPWmQ4AMLQAAD4XL4cAAFBWmWVp is incomplete:

    Does anyone know if this feature is supported and what causes this error?

    Hi,
    Can you check the option "Disallow insecure incoming RFC connections" from CMC >> SAP Authentication and see if it helps.

  • New OLAP connection for each BEx query?

    Hi,
    I am wondering whether it's really necessary to create for each BEx query a new OLAP connection in BO 4.0.
    This is the BICS connection as far as I know. But this would result in a lot of OLAP connections...
    Thanks!

    One OLAP connection is enough for one BW system.
    You can also dedicate a OLAP connection to one query if needed.

  • XCelsius :: Connections For SAP / QAWS not visible in toolbar.

    I have installed BO Edge / SAP BO Integrator and Xcelcius 2008 in that order. I have also connected SAP systems with BO and have created universerse and Queries using QAWS.
    But I cannot see buttons for SAP and QAWS on Xcelsius screen. Whats could be the reason. If it is because of the order installation (Integrator installed before Xcelsius) please can you suggest a way to make Xcelsius aware of Intergrator apart from uninstalling and installing back?
    All help appreciated.

  • Universe design for SAP BPC (MSAS cube)

    During the designing of a Universe on top of a MSAS cube there is the moment I may select Dimensions & Hierarchies. Here there are ID's of my model, e.g. Accounts-Lev1, Time-Lev1, etc.
    How do I get to see the descriptions of the levels in the Universe Designer?
    Screenshots:
    http://s772.photobucket.com/albums/yy7/Thijxx/

    Hi SR,
      In some way is true what you think, is important to put effort and intelligence in design very well the Bex query also the BW solution.
      But the effort is not only there, you can improve that with a good Universe creating MDX Measures, changing the BW names (Dimensions and measures) for other more comprehensives for the users, change and reorder the classes and dimensions to be more close to user concept, create new hierarchies and others.
      Don't forget that the Universe is a semantic layer to hide complexity and is useful for:
    -  Map complex data into familiar business terms such as products, customers, and sales.
    -  Enable simple, intuitive, and self-guided data analysis.
    -  Guarantee single version of the truth (identical results) no matter what tool is used)
    Some tips are:
    You do not need a BE query for every report and you do not need a Universe for every existing BE query
    Focus the implementation strategy on limiting the number of Bex queries and Universes that share common elements
    Build a small set of Bex queries focusing on sharing common elements in a small number of Universes
    Understand that primarily the WebI Query Panel definition influences how much data is retrieved from BW, and not the BE query design or the WebI Report layout, In some situations extremely large queries and universes can adversely affect performance
    Removing / Hide Unnecessary u201CL00u201D Objects
    Removing / Hide Unused or Redundant Detail Objects
    Remove all prefixes « Lxx ». Copy the initial name in the Description of the object
    Rename the attributes (Detail objects) when necessary : remove the suffixes when no Business signification
    Optimizing Detail Object Syntax
    I hope this help you.
      Best Regards

  • DBACOCKPIT Connection for SAP systems with SAP Router

    Hello!
    We are trying to integrate all the remote SAP systems and their databases (primarily Oracle) into DBACOCKPIT of SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
    Our SAP Solution Manager is running on Windows with Oracle 11.2.0.2
    The most SAP systems (Unix and Windows) can only be reached from SAP Solution Manger over the SAP Router connection.
    It means no direct ping from Solution Manager server to the Server of managed system will work.
    Question
    Is it possible to integrate such SAP systems (with SAP Router) into DBACOCKPIT of Solution Manager?
    According to sap note 1265134 only the DBCON-connection will be required.
    By doing so (tcode SOLMAN_SETUP), we get TNS errors.
    Do we miss some additional steps (adapting tnsnames.ora of SOLMAN with the entry of managed system), etc.?
    Thank you!
    regards

    Systems can be reached via SM59, then what's the problem ?
    In fact, this 'is' the standard procedure. This is as normal as you could have Solution manager in same 'network' with rest of the remote systems.
    Answer should be yes, you can manage several remote sap systems from sap solution manager dbacockpit.

  • WebI report based on Universe upon SAP BEx Queries:Prompt issue

    Hi,
      I am creating Web Intelligence report using Universe based on SAP Bex Queries. In WebI report I created a filter condition as I need to run report based on two specidc dates. I need to schedule report to run 2nd of every month to show data for last month. At present I have the following filter : date between 'Start Date' and 'End Date'. 'Start Date' should always be 'first date of previous month' and End Date be always must be 'Last date of previous Month'. How to do this. The solution I thought would be to create  variables at report/universe level ('first date of previous month' and 'Last date of previous Month') and use in the filter using 'Object from this Query' option.But this 'Object from this Query' option is missing in the prompt.Is there any work around to achieve this.? Could you please help me.
    Nanda Kishore

    Hi all,
    I have a related question too.
    I have 2 queries and need a Combined BEx query written on this for reporting. (WebI)
    In the 2 queries, there is a Field which needs to be restricted.
    But this field should not be restricted in the Combined BEx query.
    So I thought of restricting the Field at the report level. But in this case, the user gets a prompt to enter a value for the field.
    And this is not desirable as per the requirement.
    COuld you please tell me if there is another way of handling this without the user being prompted to enter a value while the report is being run, but still I need selection at the Field level.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Universe creation against SAP Cubes/Queries with same connection

    Hello,
    I am creating universe against the connection for SAP BW system, once I have created a connection and selected a cube or query and built a universe on top of it....If I go back and create a new universe and this time change the connection to point towards a new cube/query the old universe stops working.
    Is it a limitation for SAP database where we need to have a new connection setup for each universe...or is there a different way to use same connection pointing towards different cubes/queries for different universes.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Dharma.

    Hi
    when you build a universe based on the connection and want to use the universe with reports you can not change the underlying connection because then your universe will not work anymore.
    You can have multiple universe on a single connection.

  • Crystal reports 2013 , SAP MDX Driver not able to connect with BW BEX Query

    Hi All,
    We just installed Crystal 2013, and want to create crystal report on SAP BW CUBE/BEX Query through SAP MDX Driver.
    1.When start connecting through SAP MDX Query option from new connection , SAP Systems which are in SAPLOGON are not appearing in initial screen. where as from OLAP Connection we are able to connect to SAP BEX Query.
    2.Even from SAP Tool kit we are not able to connect to BEX query, we are getting ERROR MESSAGE.
    and we are using SAP BI BO PLATFORM 4.1 sp01 .
    Please suggest me , if I am missing any configuration settings.
    Regards,
    Joseph

    Hi Joseph,
    Before you start building the report, make sure the right transports have been loaded on the SAP System. The right Transport files are the ones found inside the installation zip you download from SAP's server. They're under the "Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports" folder.
    For more info on Transports, authorizations etc, please have your BASIS admin go through this wiki:
    Crystal Reports 2008 and BW - Installation and Configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    To resolve your first issue, please follow the steps from this thread:
    Problems with SAPLogon.ini for SAP GUI and Crystal 2011
    P.S: Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 does a better job at handling BEx queries that the CR 2013 designer. It directly connects to BEx queries via the BICS connectivity driver and doesn't need the Transports to be there on the SAP System. You might want to give this flavour of CR a try too.
