Universe is recamonded on cubes or query

Hi
is SAP recamonded build universe based on OLAP cubes or queries (bex analyzer queries)
if i connect cubes, can i get all functions in BO ( like functions in bex analyzer, variables...)
please let me know

Hi,
so its mandatory in BW we need to build query , we can build universe on top of query?
>> Yes you can build a universe on top of a InfoProvider but you would accept the limitations described above.
so why SAP is giving BO on top of BI query?
>> to leverage those items and to leverage the features you can build in the BI query
what is the advantage of BO in this scenerio? we are building complete query at analyzer and publishing into portal, end user is able to get clear details , even end user can export into excel, send to pdf out put, he can drill downll and filter of that query?
>> I assume you are using BEx Analyzer today. BusinessObjects is offering a broad range of tools for different set of users.
what is specific advantage of BO in this scenerios?
without BI query we cant get sap exit variables in BO ( if i build universe on top of cube)
>> No. Variables are part of the BI query and not the cube.

Webi error for master data attributes if universe is on top of BI query

Hi All,
We are using BO XI R2 SP5 integrated with SAP BI 7.0.
We have built a universe on top of a BI query and when we try to build a web intelligence report that includes master data attributes like Customer City,Customer Region etc BO throws the following error:
Error 1:
Database error: [SOFA Driver] : Error getting members for hierarchy (level=ZFI_I03/ZFI_I03_Q0003, member=[ZFI_I03___F172], opcode=[ZFI_I03___F172]) . System error in program CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA and form VALUEREAD-02- (see long text). Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
For a universe built on a different BI query with master data attributes mentioned above,a different error occuring.
Error 2:
Your Web Intelligence session has timed out. Log out and log in again to InfoView. (Error: WIJ 77778)
We have tried:
1) We have executed the function module BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_DIMENSIONS with necessary inputs query/cube and we got correct output, like members, optional properties, selected properties and restrictions.But, still our problem remains same.
2) Transaction u201CRSRTu201D and executed the query,transaction RSRV to check SID-tables and the related masterdata.
Above steps we performed in response to SAP tickets 541052 / 2009,541131 / 2009 based on logs generated,but still the error persists.
What is working:
If a universe is built on top af an infocube directly, then there is no problem with master data attributes in webi report.
Please let us know if you need more details to help us resolve this issue.

Hi Naresh,
based on the MDX you can identify that those are navigational attributes and thats why the issue is not happening when talking to the cube directly because when you connect to the cube directly the navigational attributes are not available.
Take a look at note : 996197
not sure if it will solve the problem because there are other notes when you search for the error message but this was most of the times the one that resolved the issue.
the issue is in the BAPI functions

Universe created on BI cube throws error.

Hi Experts,
This is the first time i have created one universe based on a Cube in BI system. After universe creation, I am logined into WebIntelligence Rich Client and create a query on top of the created universe which throws errors like below.
A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. <CONSTANT>. (WIS 10901)
I tried with many combinations, but, in result sometimes with blank report and sometimes throwing above error.
Cany anyone suggest me what is the solution for this ?
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
The reason here is some thing has bean changed at SAP BI Cube after creation of Universe in Business Objects.
Solution for this is " Refresh the universe structure " and then save it and export and try create reports. If it is not the reason give some more clarity on your error.
Thanks.

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.

In Universe Designer I can not build a Universe based on a SAP/BW Query:
-The Universe Items -> Sight -> Universe Window and -> Sight -> Liste Mode are greyed our
- Its simply not possible to move Universe "Objects" = "Classes" into the Table, Join or
Item Plane.
I am useing:
-BO XI 3.1
-BO Solutions for SAP Integration
-Universe Designer
Universe Designer based on a Database is ok
The Connection to the SAP System is stored in BO XI 3.1
What's missing ?
Any Rights/Authorizations are Misseing ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi
when working with OLAP universes (eg. universes based on SAP BW queries) it is not possible to work as you normally do when you have a universe based on a relational data source. The data madel is the one from the OLAP source (cube) so it is not possible to create your on joins, tables etc. In this case you can only add/modify the objects in the object browser (left panel).

Stratos
PS: The Data Federator will allo you to create relational universes on an SAP BW source. Still this is a product that must be licensed seperately and currently does not support SAP logon ticket-based SSO.

How to create universe for sap bw cubes in Business objects

Hi all,
can anybody tell me the steps to create universe for SAP BW CUBES from Business objects software.
Thanks.
Cheta.

Hi,
In a SAP-BW and BO environment using Business Object Universe generator, it appears that BO requires direct data base connectivity to read data from BW.
In XI/XI R2 , it use an RFC connection (MDX driver, which makes BAPI, SAP API calls) to SAP BW to obtain the details of the BW Query or Info Cube for building the Universe using the XI/XIR2 Business Objects designer application. The request for the query or cube details is done VIA BAPI function calls. For the SAP BW Query we must have allow External Access to this query checked under the Query Property window.
Our Integrated Solution Kits do not access the SAP BWs data source.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Creation of Universe takes long time on BW Query

Hello Gurus,
I'm trying to create my universe on BW Query and it is taking long time to open. When I parse my objects also it atleast takes 20 minutes to parse one object. The same thing happens from WebIntelligence also. When I export this universe and create a Web Intelligence query and run the report it takes atleast 15 minutes to show the data though data is very less. Any ideas on how to improve this performance.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for your comments. Is it the SAP Integration Kit FP1.6 are you talking about? If yes, then I was able to install it on the server but I don't have SAP Integration kit installed in the client system. Why would I need to install SAP Integration on client as I'm using my server CMS Name to connect to server and once it has the necessary components isn't that good enough?
I tried creating a report and the performance did improve just by installing it on the server. But if I just pull any one object in WebI I receive the below error when answering one of the prompts
A database error occured. The database error text is: . (WIS 10901)
When I click on help the cause and action are as below
Cause
The database that provides the data to this document has generated an error. Details about the error are provided in the section of the message indicated by the field code: .
Action
Contact your BusinessObjects administrator with the error message information or consult the documentation provided by the supplier of the database.

Universe Creation On OLAP Cube(SSAS) throwing error. in BO X1 3.1

Hi Experts,
I have created OLAP universe based on SSAS Cube using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services Driver.
i have created webi report based on this SSAS Cube,everything is fine
but when i create condition in universe level,if i use the same universe in webi report its throwing error:An internal error occured while calling the 'processDPCommands' API.
Thanks,

This should be set up in steps, Have you configured java AD kerberos so you can login via your web/app with AD? This is a prerequisite before setting up any type of delegation to the DB.
You can also set up SSO in the front end but this shouldn't be necessarry for delegating to the DB.
What SPN's do you need...
Well if using java AD you should have an SPN for the account running the SIA (typically BOBJCentralMS/something) This SPN needs to be set in the CMC, You will need the krb5 and bsclogin files to login to your web/app with kerberos/AD. The krb5.ini will have to have a setting forwardable = true, and finally the MSAS server will need SPN's http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917409
This a a very complex configuration and you will likely need to open an incident with support to get an engineer to help. I'm not sure where our current docs for the configuration are.

Number of records in cube from Query Designer

I don't have access to the cube in BW(listschema). I only have access to pull reports from cube from Query Designer. How can I tell the total number of records in a cube?
Thanks.

Hi
you can use the tech content in the query designer to display the count for no of records or you can do the same via creating a new CKF
or see the below link to display the count

Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

Hello,
I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
Thanks,
vamsi.

If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
This is what my experience.
Thanks,

SSRS report with cube – MDX query how to get an extra row with value '0'.

Hello everyone,
I'm unable to write the MDX query to get '0' value as first row in output. Following is my MDX query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Dummy] AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY Union( {[Measures].[Amount] },{[Measures].[Dummy]}) ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].ALLMEMBERS * [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].ALLMEMBERS ) }
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]
With above query, the output returns the value '0' as a separate column.
I would like to get it in form of first row for [Measures].[Amount]. Like,
Amount
0
500
200
100
What needs to be changed to achieve the above result? I'm planning to use the above value in line chart to start the line from 0th value as described in following URL. (Note: The below URL is using SQL query and not MDX expressions.)

The round brackets in your expression are forcing an implicit crossjoin between the 3 lines. I would do the following which creates a set of the DummyYear plus the real year members and then crossjoin that with the customer set.
WITH MEMBER [Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Amount]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear,
     [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].MEMBERS} *
            [Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].MEMBERS
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]

Impact of real time cube on query performance and OLAP cache

Hi:
We have actual and plan cubes both setup as real time cubes (only plan cube is being planned against, not actual cube) and both cubes are compressed once a day.
We are planning on implementing BIA accelerator and have questions related to query performance optimization:
1/ Is there are any query performance benefits in changing the actual cube to be a basic cube (using program SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS) if the F table is fully compressed
2/ Can OLAP cache be leveraged for the queries run against the real time cubes e.g. actual cubes
3/ What is the impact on BIA of having the actual cube as real time (whetehr or not there is data being loaded/planned during the day in that cube)
Thank you in advance,
Catherine

1) Is there are any query performance benefits in changing the actual cube to be a basic cube (using program SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS) if the F table is fully compressed
From the performance point of view, tha actual cubes i.e std cubes are relatively better.
2) Yes OLAP cache can be leveraged for bringing up the plan query but all the calculations are done in the planning buffer.
3) Not sure.
