Universe from multiple BEx queries

I have recently heard that more than one BEx query can be used to create universe.
Is it true? So far I have created universe with only one query. Currently we are planning for one universe per BEx query and thought of reducing the universe count.Someone please advice if its possible.

Hi,
there is no need to have the relationship of one query / Universe for one report in general.
Right now the only option to have BW sources linked together into a single Universe is the option to use Data Federator. Keep in mind that Data Federator is not using the BW query layer and instead it exposes a SQL view.

  • How to design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries

    Hi Team,
                  I would like to know some of the queries :
    1.How can you design a optimized universe from SAP BEx queries in the sense which gives you more performance
    2.What are the differences between Non SAP sources like Oracle,SQL and SAP sources in designing the Universe.
    3.Can we create a Derived table from an SAP source because i know that the Schema is not created for BEx queries,cubes.
    4.What are the advantages of having oracle as a source then SAP source.
    Can you please elobarate the above queries.
    Regards,
    Pradeep P.

    Hi,
    1. Check Ingos Blog on SDN ther are some PDF for performance regarding WebI on BW
    2. On RDBMS Source you have to design your universe. On OLAP Source like BW you generate the Universe and cant customize it a lot.
    4. Good question. In a BW all your logic is already in place. On a RDBMS you have to build your logic in a universe. But there are a lot of differences.

  • No. of Connections needed for creating universes from SAP BEx Queries

    Hello,
    I have 8 SAP BEx queries, my task to create to universe for all of these queries. I have created a datasource connection, my question here is can I use the same connection for all the queries by changing datasource connection and selecting the new query or is it suggestable to create 8 datasource connections in universe designer??
    please let me know if you need any more info.
    Your reply is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Naresh

    HI,
    You need to create 8 connection for 8 BW queries.There is  one to one mapping in the universe.If you change the existing connection source then it will not work for earlier query.
    Other thing you can check like you have 8 queries then instead of creating 8 universe if possible then merge some queries in the single bw query and then create universe.
    Thanks,

  • Multiple BEx queries in one report

    Hi All,
    I would like to know if we can use multiple BEx queries in a single report using Crystal Report 2008 / 2011?
    If so, there is another requirement follwoing the above as below:
    I have objects obj1,obj2,obj3 in query 1 and objects obj1, obj2, obj4 in query 2. I have prompts based on obj1 from query1 and prompt on obj4 from query2.
    So, when I enter a value in prompt1 for obj3, i need to have query1 executed and display the data and data should not be displayed from query2. Similarly, if I enter value for prompt2 of query2, only query2 data to be displayed.
    Pls suggest if this can be achieved and how?
    Thanks,

  • How do i access multiple bex queries in one crystal reports??

    Hello Experts,
    I have 10 cubes and 30 bex queries on it and i need to create 3 final crystal reports on these 30 queries.
    I am on BI 4.0 & CR 2011. but my client is not on correct SAP patch ie., he is on 15+ but he must be on 23+ to access multiple bex queries on CR 2011 Database expert. (I am unable to see bex queries in Database expert to link couple of bex queries)
    And my client env doesnt have SAP EP for SAP BW Netweaver Connection to create a connection to access cubes or queries in IDT.
    Do my client env need EP? so that SAP BICS Connection will work in IDT?
    How do i approach to achive this...
    Thank you...

    Hi,
    have you checked the option "allow external access" in your query? SAP Toolbar will find all queries but the database export needs this flag to be set.
    Using multiple queries within one crystal report is using the "multi database join feature" of crystal reports. You can link your queries by key fields and crystal will join them in memory. So when there are many queries or many datarows this can be a huge performance killer.
    Actuallly one of our customers is running a report which has more than 20 BEx queries linked together. It runs just fine.
    Please be sure to set your joins correctly. E.g. crystal will try to make a join on the "key figures" sturcture if you let it create a suggestion or it will try to link on all fields of an infoobject. This will bring MDX errors.
    So you should be setting your joins correctly - the [infoobject]-[20infoobject] fields are fine for that.
    I hope you can use some of my words.
    Regards

  • 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,

  • Crystal Report with multiple BEX queries

    I have a Crystal Report that uses 6 different BEX queries.  The report needs to display the results from each query, there is no need to join these queries.  The Crystal Report is using subreports and displaying the data one BEX query after another.
    The issue I have is that these BEX queries all have the same mandatory variable.  This is causing Crystal to prompt the user to enter the same variable filter once per BEX query.  
    If we change the BEX queries so only the first BEX query has a variable and use Crystal to filter the other 5, the performance is unacceptable.  My guess is the other 5 queries are experiencing client side filtering instead of the filter being passed down to BW.
    Is there a way to have multiple BW queries with the same variable and have Crystal only prompt the user to enter input one time?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    My understanding of the issue is :
    --You have 6 Bex queries and are displying on after the other becaused you have inserted all these queries as sub report.
    --All your Bex queries are having same parameter / prompt / variable which will take user input and filter the data.
    --Now the report is prompting the user to enter prompt / variable 6 times.  You are looking for an option to proimpt only ones insted of 6 tiems.
    If I understood correctly follow the method to link sub reports to grab the parameter value form main report parameter :
    Right click on sub report go in Change Subreport Links, select main reort prompt / varieable and then select sub report prompt / parameter / variable.
    Do the same for all your sub reports.  This will eliminate asking / prompting the same parameter value several times.
    Thanks,

  • Merging data from SAP BEx queries with SQL - Keys are details not Dimension

    I have a challenge when trying to merge data from a BEx query and a relational source in SQL Server.
    I have a characteristic for Material, with an associated Material key that is a attribute of Material in the BEx query.  On the SQL side I have a Material ID which is they unique identifier.
    So when you Merge Dimensions in a WebI report, it is exactly that merging dimensions,  so you link Material from BEx and Material ID from SQL.   However, on the Bex side Material displays a long text field which will never join to the data from SQL which is an ID.  The like for like objects are Material Key in BEx and Material ID in SQL, however, as Material Key from BEx is an attribute to manifests itself in WebI via a universe as a Detail object, which makes it unavailable for merging.
    I have tried to set the Material characteristic to display as KEY in the BEx query design, but alas it still comes through as a long text, hence still not able to merge data sets.
    Any workarounds ??
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    In universe designer, edit the material key detail object. Copy the text that refers to the characteristic attribute in your BEx query. Create a new dimension (say, 'Material Key') and paste this text as the definition.
    Essentially you're turning a detail object into a dimension, which (in my limited experience) works just fine.
    Let me know how you go.

  • How to add a filter in multiple BEx queries at once

    Hello everybody,
    my requirement is to add a generic filter (characteristic restriction) in more than 30 BEx queries. Instead of adding the filter in each query one by one with query designer, I was wondering if there is a tool (eg. a transaction or a query designer function) that can add this filter to all desired queries at once.
    Does anybody know if such tool exists??
    Thanks very much,
    Andrea

    Hi,
    I think it is not possible. if your all query on one info provider, then you can make filter reusable for info provider and use it when you are creating query again on that info provider.
    First, Restrict characteristics in filter as per your requirement and then right click on it and click on save as - give description and technical name. then save it. now filter is reusable

  • Chart from data with two bex queries in crystal reports 4.0 for enterprise

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to crystal reports and I have a requirement to show the data from 2 bex queries in one single cross table. is it possible ?
    after getting it i should be able to create chart with that data
    Eg: my table would be something like below :
                   calendar day
    Input     : 12      34     50     60
    Output  :  09     23     19     57
    Input Data will be coming from one bex query
    Out put data comes from another bex query
    is it possible to merge the dimensions and then work on ????         
    any help is much appreciated

    Hi Tanveer,
    The only way you can add two BEx queries in a report is using a Subreport. The First BEx query goes in the Main Report and the second one goes in the Subreport.
    You'll not be able to add the dimensions and measures from these two BEx queries in a Crosstab anyway. Perhaps, you could create a mock crosstab and send values (all rows) from the Main Report to the Subreport as a string however, I can see that it's going to get complex.

  • SAP BW Bex Queries as Data source WIS 10901 Error while refreshing

    Hi,
       I have created a Web Intelligence report based on Universe upon SAP BEx queries.
      When I refresh the report, I get the following error:
      A database error occured. The database error text is: the supplied XML is not valid. [Measures].[4ASYKV5XU5T].(WIS 10901)
      Report was fine for a day. I started showing error from today.
    This is my first report and Universe based on SAP BEx queries. I do not have knowledge of SAP system as well.
    Please help.
    Nanda Kishore B

    Hey Nanda kishore B,
    It is because that Measure object definition changed @BEx.  Measures.4ASYKV5XU5T
    Can you check @BEx query for any latest changes??
    OR
    Go to Universe Designer:
    1. Open Universe
    2. View == Refresh Structure
    3. Can you see any updates now?? OK
    4. Save Universe
    5. Export it
    Now open the Report. It will work now, if all Objects are there at Bex query & Universe level.
    Along with this Do integrity check @Universe also before exporting.
    Gracias...!!

  • Creating a universe on Multiple Cubes or Bex Queries

    Dear SDNers,
    Can we create a single universe on Multiple cubes or DSOs or BEx Queries and how do we do this?
    Can you plese tell me step by step.
    Thanks,
    Swathi.

    Hi swathi,
    yes, we can create multicubes from single universe from webi rich client/deski, create a single report  from BEx Query it makes as single micro cube.
    and Next Edit Query--> Add Query--> select same universe.  This Query makes as another Micro cube.   so you can design a report from those Microcubes. if you add additional object to query panal the microcube updated from data base.

  • Edit LOV of objects in universes build from Bex Queries

    Hi,
    We are creating webi from universes build from Bex Queries.
    Can anyone please tell me, is there any way to edit list of values for the objects in universes coming from Bex though i can see that option for edit/display LOV is greyed out.
    for eg-- i am having a prompt calendar day at the Bex level which is coming as filter in Universe but it is not showing me the values of dates for future years rather it's showing me the till date values (means upto current date of current month).
    As per my requirement, i want all the values for the future years also(can say..wanna see calendar to select any value) so that user can select from it.
    Regards,

    Thanks for reply Jacques!!!
    When i see the code of object in object properties i receive a calendar for only one prompt (Key date of the query as its data type is "D") but for other prompt (Inventory 1 to inventory 11) the data type is alphanumeric "A". and i receive only till date values not a calendar to select value.

  • How Many SAP BW BEx Queries can be embedded in a Universe

    Hi,
       I need to create 5 reports based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
       The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
    Axes details:
    X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
    Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
    Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
    The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
    My query is: Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.
    (All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
    One more, should I use Web intelligence only? Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
    Please advise.
    Nanda Kishore.

    Answers for your qns:
    Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe ?? NO
    Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report. ?? YES
    All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel ?? Possible- YES
    should I use Web intelligence only? *WebI * or  Data Federator
    Nanda Kishore,
    As you are in SAP BI, I suggest you to go with BO Universe==>>WebI or DataFederator.
    Solution for your problem:
    Sol1 : Why you are creating 5 BEx queries?? Is there any calculations or restrictions??
    YES, then Design 5 Universes for each BEx query.
    @ WebI Report: Develop report/chart based on Universe-1 and in BO query panel click on Add Query and do it for 4 other Universes.
    Save all Charts in single report. (After running second time query, it will prompt for 3 opt's: 1. Insert new report  2. Insert data with in the existing report 3. Indulge objects without creating new report )
    Here, go with Opt:2 or Opt3 or opt:1, no problem. And develop all Charts in single report by just dragging & dropping chart type and objects to it.
    Now your problem solved.
    Sol2: If no need of 5 BEx queries: Just drag all the Characteristics, Keyfigures and other what you want for Charting.
    @Designer: Design Universe on top of this BEx master query.
    @ Report : use this Universe and drag objects to 5 diff charts.
    Hope you got it.
    Thank You!!

  • How to create Universe on BEx Queries

    Hi,
       I am very new to create Universe based on SAP BW Infocubes or BEx queries. I actually need to create reports based on BEx queries. I am able to log into SPA BW using Universe connection and I see only Infocubes. Where can I find BEx queries. Is there any specific document that helps here.
    Please help me.
    Nanda

    Hi,
    You can select the queries which are part of the cubes. And make sure that the query is part of the cube.
    If still not listing then from Bex Query designer open the query from the cube and enable 'set to allow external access' in the properties of a query.
    Now, the query should be available in the Universe Designer.
