Universe from a query

Hi all
How to create a universe from a query, just as I do from a cube.
Thanks

Have a look at Ingo's blog..
BusinessObjects and SAP Part 9 - Xcelsius with Crystal Reports and Live Office
and make sure you check mark the "Allow External Access to this query" (Release for OLE DB fo OLAP) in the Query Designer

  • Error creating Universe from BW query

    Hi
    Creating the Universe connected to BW query (BI 7).   
    Connection is proper and universe designer is connected to BW system without any problem.   I have already used many queries to connect to universe and webi documents has been developed.   
    The only difference in this BW query is,  it is using hierarchy with 'derivation type'  in 'select hierarchy date'.
    BW query is working as expected in BEx designer.
    This is the error message when trying to create the universe from BW query -
    Error getting dimensions for cube <infoprovider name>/<query name>(catalog <infoprovider name>): Unknown error when executing MDX
    Product name : SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP3
    Please respond how this can be resolved.
    Thanks

    Sreedh,
    I was wondering whether you could resolve this error?
    Would appreciate if you can convey the resolution.
    I am getting the same error - ( BOE XI 3.1 ).
    Thank you,

  • How to use Results from Another Query for SAP BW universes

    Hi Everyone,
    I have two SAP BI universes.In my First universe I have Sales Doc no (dimension) and Orderqty (Measure) and in my second universe I have Sales Doc no(Dimension) and BillQty (Measure).
    Here in my first dataprovider I have 1200 rows of data and in second dataprovider I have 75,000 rows. The report should fetch only the BillQty details that matches to corresponding  Sales doc no in first data provider.
    I want to place all these fileds into a single report like as shown.
    (Datarpovider1)                (Datarpovider1)                    (Datarpovider2)
    *Sales Doc No*               Orderqty                           BillQty
    Here I am able to generate single report using merge dimension but it is leading to performance issues. I want to restrict the values at query level by passing the First dataprovider Sales doc no to second Data provider Sales doc number using Results from Anothery Query feature so that It can fetch only the matching records.
    I tried it but it was giving the follwing error:
    A filter contains a wrong value. You cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007)
    How Can I get rid of this error. Can we use Results from Anothery Query option for OLAP universe. Are there any limitation on it.
    All this I am doing in Webi Rich Client.
    Appreciate your help
    Thanks &in Advance
    Kiran Saka

    Hi Kiran,
    I think the filter has a wrong operand. For example, a filter with an empty constant, or a filter that deals with numeric values is defined with an alphanumeric value.Check out for this.

  • Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

    Hi,
    Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
    I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
    I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
    I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
    Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    In that situation:
    Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
    @ Report:
    As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
    Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
    In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thank You!!

  • Combine query, result from another query on SAP BI query Universe?

    Hello all,
    We are using SAP BI queries as datasource for our universes. Is the combined query option disabled for webi reports written on such universes?
    result from another query - is this option active for such webi reports? I see both these options greyed out so wanted to check.
    One last thing what is really difference between subquery and results from another query? subquery - you can use filters from that one data provider only right? or can you use a different data provider/report in sub query?
    Thanks a lot for all the replies.

    Hi,
    in BO 3.1 Combined query and result from another query options are not available in webi report on OLAP Universes  (SAP BW Universe.)
    Thanks,

  • Cnnection error while creating universe on Bex Query in BW

    Hi
    I am getting connection error while connecting to BW Bex query.
    The error i am getting while creating universe is  A runtime exception has occured Error getting levels for hierarchy  dimension .....:Unknown error.
    After this
    Also while creating universe no key figures/measures are getting generated from Bex query to designer.
    Also in Bex query which are created as mandatory variables comes as  Prompts in webi.
    But when I try to parse in Condition filter it is throwing error.
    Currently that mandatory variable is From Date and To Date
    Is we require to change the prompt syntax in Condition filter.
    Also kindly suggest solution for Connection error as impemtation is getting affected.

    Hi
    R u saying allow external acces in BEX query.This option in Bex Query designer.
    Or In whether while creating universes under properties tab there is use of OLAP universes option has to be made to Yes.
    This both things we have tried

  • Universe on BEX query - Measures Question !!

    Hello All,
    I am building a Universe on BEx Query.
    We have the following environment:
    SAP BOE XI 3.1 SP2 FIX Pack 2.5
    Integration KIT SP2 FIX PACK 2.5
    SAP BW 701 Level 6
    I see that in the BEX query the KF have technical names as "ZZRKF_Amount".
    But, when this query is brought into Universe, I see the tech names as
    [[4J922TWKO24NHTROOEY3WXK72]].[[4J922URARWJHKBXHBR7H15F26]]
    I would like to see this as [[MEASURE]].[[ZZRKF_Amount]].
    Does anyone know how to do it?
    Your help & time is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In the Universe Designer, select Tools ->options. In the OLAP tab, there is option to select as generate technical names as details.
    I guess this may help you.

  • Query on results from another query

    Post Author: Duncan1980
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Is it possible to query on the results from another query.  I have a query that produces a list of document numbers.  I want to use the output from that query as the filter criteria in a another query in the same Universe. 
    The output from the first query can be as much as 2000, so it would be very time consuming to cut and paste these into a filter.
    Both reports are built, but can not figure out how to link the first report output to the filtering criteria on the second report.  I
    I am using business objects XI release 2 web intelligence 11.5.3.417 enterprise.

    Hi Vivek,
    It was not directly solved but I applied alternate logic to over come the issue.
    Here's what I did to overcome:
    I used a sub query in place of the whole result from another query.
    For Ex:
    Dim1 inlist result from another query1
    I made it as
    Dim1 inlist (Dim0)
    where Conditions.
    Here Dim0 is the object which we use for Result from another query and Conditions will be the necessary filter conditions to arrive proper Dim0.  Make sure proper context is formed for the sub query.
    Even though it resolved my problem, It introduces an new issue. It causes increase in query run time when huge set of data is returned from sub query.
    Please let me know if i haven't explained clearly.
    Hi Aris_BO,
    Sorry for not responding earlier.  The logic would probably make more queries null & not null. Thats why I was not advised to use it.
    Thanks

  • Results from another Query - not available

    HI,
    My environment is Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 Edge series , i have  below quereis with web Intelligence Reports
    1. not available  the functions/options  Results from another Query(Any) or Results from another Query(ALL) at Query Level.
    2. not getting list of Values for pronpt until i refresh values for prompt?
    Please suggest me is there any fix packs available for the same to availle that functionality.
    Best Regards,
    Reddeppa K

    not getting list of Values for pronpt until i refresh values for prompt?
    There is option called  "Automatic refresh before use"  for the object properties available in the universe designer.
    Please check the box for the object you are using for populating the list of values and export the universe.
    not available the functions/options Results from another Query(Any) or Results from another Query(ALL) at Query Level.
    There is a limitation for the query on query functionality that the both the queries can-not be from the OLAP universe.
    I guess the query which needs to be filtered should be built on universe from the relational data base.

  • BO Universe on BeX Query in Lumira

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement of accessing a BeX query in Lumira and do visualizations on it. As Lumira is not capable of accessing BeX query directly, I think, I would need to create a universe on InfoCube, for that BeX query, and then consume that universe in Lumira. Thereafter, I would need to create different datasets for different queries.
    Now, I have two questions:
    1. Is this approach correct? Is there any other more efficient methos than this?
    2. Can I create a universe on BeX query directly? Is it possible?
    When I'm following first approach (universe on InfoCube using IDT) and trying to consume that universe in Lumira, I am getting below error:
    And when I'm following 2nd approach (universe on BeX query using UDT), I am not able to view that .unv in List of Available universes in Lumira.
    Please help.
    Thanks Much,
    Purnima

    Explanation on the error you faced:
    The data acquisition of medium-large, large, and very large datasets from UNV or UNX universes is not supported on default installations of both SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platforms 4.0 and 4.1.
    It is recommended for customers that want to acquire such datasets to install a SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform (SAP BIP) server dedicated to SAP Lumira and significantly increase the value of the Maximum Character Stream Size of the Web Intelligence Processing Server on that particular server. Note that increasing this value on a running SAP BIP server can impact the memory consumption and performance of any BI clients tool running on that installation, particularly Web Intelligence. While this practice is not formally discouraged, we advise customers implementing this solution that they might face memory consumption increases and longer document data refreshes so they will need to monitor the SAP BIP server's behavior adequately to control the impacts.
    Can you try to place some filters to limit the data volume retrieved?
    Best regards

  • " Steps to create a universe from R/3 "

    Dear  Friends ,
                                    Can any one let me know the steps to create a universe from R/3 .

    Hi,
    you must install Enchancement Pack 4 on your SAP ERP system in order to be able to build a universe based on an infoset query.
    If you do not have EHP 4 (not sure if it is officially released yet) you can only use Crystal Reports to report directly on SAP R/3 tables.
    You will need to SAP BusinessObjects Solution kit (a.k.a SAP integration Kit) to be able to access OLAP cubes from the SAP BW via universes.
    R3 data cannot be accessed via Webi, only if you go directly againt the database hosting the R3 tables (there will be thousands of tables though I believe).
    I would think Crystal Reports is passing a SQL statement to the SAP R3 database and a universe could be built to re-create that SQL statement. Such a universe would be really hard to build (I should know - I build Oracle E-Business Suite universes all day), but not impossible.

  • Alternative for result from other query  and merge dimension option option

    Hi Everyone ,
    Am Developing one webi report over bex Query.
    Actual scenario is output of one webi report should be the input of other webi report.
    Eg:
    Table 1
    2010        Cus 1
    2010        Cus 2
    2011        Cus 3
    table 2
    cus1    m1   100
    cus2    m2   200
    Cus3    m1  400
    Report 1 designing 
    First report created using table 1 and prompt for year
    Report  2 designing
    Second report created using table2 and prompt for customer
    So when am Running first report it will ask for parameter year and if am selecting 2010 then the report will return C1 and C2
    this out put should e the input for report 2.
    So out put will be 100+200=300
    NOTE:1. Result from other query is not working in webi filter pane since am building on olap universe.
               2. Merge Dimension performance is very slow .
    Any Solution ?
    Regards,
    Kannan.B

    Hi,
    Thanks for ur reply
    As you said , If am giving hyperlink to other report .
    Eg: User selected Tamilnadu then report 1 opened  then  he has to click the some cell or hyperlink cell to view the actual report(2nd report).
    Suppose user Clicked that hyperlink cell and 2nd report opened and he is viewing the data for Tamil nadu and he decided to see the report for
    Andrapradesh so according to this logic he has to select first report and refresh the data for Andra and from there he has to come to 2nd report.
    totally 4 screen will be opened for seeing the two states report.
    So Some other alternative.......

  • Promoting Universe from BI Dev to BI Prod

    Hi Expert,

  • Unicode String Issue while Using Results from Another Query

    Hi All,
    In a webi report i have 2 queries say Sales Out and Investment. I need to have only those chains which are in Investement in Sales Out.
    So in Sales Out query i am using the option Results from another Query. The Chain values are in Unicode format.
    Though in universe i have Set Parameter Unicode_String ='Yes', this does not get applied when using option Results from another Query.
    Is there any solution to resolve this problem.

  • Drill Down when data is coming from a query

    Hello experts,
    I have one question regarding the drill down functionality. For sake of simplicity, let's assume we are working on a pie chart.
    i) Data is coming from a query (via the universe).
    ii) The data source is really the query itself, it is not coming from the excel sheet. In other words, the query is not first copied to the excel sheet and then fed to the pie chart. Pie chart directly uses the query binding.
    ii) When a slice in the pie is clicked, I want to copy that slice's information into a cell (basically the drill-down functionality).
    I wasn't able to achieve this functionality.  I think the problem is the 'source data' field in the 'insertion' tab. I select 'Row' as my insertion type and I also select a destination. However, when it comes to selecting 'source data' I have nowhere to point to since my source data is the query (query binding is not an option here). So, since I have no real source data, I cannot drill down and copy the values to the destination cell.
    The workaround is to copy the query data into excel first, but I don't that is an elegant solution. Is there any other way to achieve this?
    Regards,
    Guven.

    Hello David,
    You confirm that mapping the whole column would be an option, right?
    Here is why I asked this question: Let's assume I have a dashboard that displays the types of encounters in a hospital. Some examples of encounter types are: emergency, elective, newborn, etc... Currently, in the database, there is data for these 3 types. So, the dashboard contains a pie chart and each slice corresponds to the number of visits by patients for this encounter type (e.g. 450 emergency encounters, 9900 elective encounters and 32 newborn encounters).
    Tomorrow, a new encounter type could take place in the hospital and this of course has to be reflected in the dashboard. If I make the assumption that there are only 3 encounter types, then the dasboard would be missing information. So, in this case, should I be mapping the whole column to the pie chart?
    Regards,
    Guven.
