Userrights to use universes and WebI

Hi,
I have a BO Edge 4.0 SP2 server here and have problems with user rights: it's afresh installation and I can't create a new WebI document using the eFashion sample universe - I open WebI, login with a test-user, click on "new document", select the eFashion universe and just get "No business layer sent back from server".
I have a maybe similar problem with Crystal Reports 2011: again the same, I click on create new document and get the message that I don't have sufficient rights to use the eFashion universe.
I already added "Full control" to the universe-folder in CMC, Universes.
What's missing?
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Also make sure that you have given Full Control rights on Connections in CMC and then test the issue.

Nakul Mehta

How To Guide : Impact of a BEx query change to universes and WebI document

Ever wondered about the impact of a BEx query change to your universes and Intelligence documents ? "If I change this, will I need to refresh the universe structure ? will my Web Intelligence documents break ?". This article aims at clarifying these questions for Web Intelligence documents that use OLAP Universe(s) based on BEx query(ies). More specifically, it clarifies which BEx query change does impact Universes and Web Intelligence documents and which one is transparent to them.
The first part of this article provides a summary table. The second part explains what to do to make the universe and Web Intelligence documents reflect the BEx query change. And finally, it covers each change scenario in details with more explanation and screen shots.

Hi Rajesh J Salecha,
What I understood is like :
You have two queries and both gives same results but one of the query having a parameter.
You have one report which is using query1. Now you want that report to be copied as Report2 and use Query2 instead of Query1.
If the this is the issue, then you copy Report1 as Report2 and go in Database and change the Data source location to Query2.
Hope this will help you. If my understanding is wrong then give us the work flow.
Thanks,

RRI drilldown on structures using javascript and Web API

Hi SDN community,
We have devised a method to RRI on structure elements using javascript and Web API statements:
var url = SAP_BW_URL_Get();
zREP_UNIT_VAR1 = "ZN_MRU01";
zREP_UNIT_VAR2 = "ZP_FPER";
var zeroFISCYEARKey = getVar("ZPFYEAR");
var zREP_UNITHierNodeKey = getVar("ZN_MRU01");
var zREP_UNITHierNodeKey = trimString(zREP_UNITHierNodeKey);
var zeroFISCPERVarKey = getVar("ZP_FPER");
var zeroFISCPERKey = convertZeroFISCPERVarKeyToKey (zeroFISCPERVarKey);
var zeroCURRENCYKey = getVar("ZPM_CURR");
zREP_UNIT_TEMPLATE = "ZWT_CPERF_M50_UC_CHART";
url = SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=" + zREP_UNIT_TEMPLATE +"&VAR_NAME_1=" + zREP_UNIT_VAR1 + "&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=" + zREP_UNITHierNodeKey + "&VAR_NODE_IOBJNM_1=" + "0HIER_NODE" + "&VAR_NAME_2=" + zREP_UNIT_VAR2 + "&VAR_VALUE_EXT_2=" + zeroFISCPERKey + "&VAR_VALUE_EXT_3=" + zeroCURRENCYKey + "&CMD_1=DATA_PROVIDER%3DFY" + "%26FILTER_IOBJNM_1%3D"+ filter + "%26FILTER_VALUE_1%3D" + parameter1 + "&CMD_2=DATA_PROVIDER%3DCMYTD" + "%26FILTER_IOBJNM_2%3D"+ filter + "%26FILTER_VALUE_2%3D" + parameter1;
SAPBWOpenWindow(url,"IO_Process_KPI_Report","width=screen.width, height=screen.height,menubar=yes, toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes");
Necessary conditions:
The same Global Structure is in the Sender Query and the Target Query
Question:
Is there any other way to RRI on structure elements within a sender query to a target query using:
BADI's, ABAP or any other method.
Thank you.
Simon

Hi SDN Community,
At the time of asking this question there were not many examples of BADI for RRI's. I now see a number of examples we can use.
Thank you.

Cisco 4402 WLC IOS Upgradation using CLI and Web Interface

Hi,
I would like to know how to upgrade IOS of Cisco 4402 WireLess LAN Controller using CLI and Web interface ?
Can any one help me regarding the same.
Please answer as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Here are the instructions for upgrading the controllers via GUI:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn52.html#wp472449
Instructions via cli:
Cisco recommends that a direct CLI console port connection is used to update the controller software.
1. Make sure a TFTP server is available for the Operating System (OS) software download. Also, keep these guidelines in mind when the TFTP server is set up:
If a download is performed through the service port, the TFTP server must be on the same subnet as the service port because the service port is not routable.
If a download is performed through the Distribution System (DS) network port, the TFTP server can be on the same or a different subnet because the DS port is routable.
The TFTP server cannot run on the same computer as the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) because WCS and the TFTP server use the same communication port.
2. Download the desired OS software update file from the Cisco website to the default directory on the TFTP server.
3. Log into the WLC CLI.
4. Issue the ping server-ip-address command to verify that the WLC can contact the TFTP server.
5. Issue the transfer download start command and answer n when prompted to view the current download settings.
This example shows the command output:
transfer download start
Mode........................................... TFTP
Data Type...................................... Code
TFTP Server IP.................................
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
6. TFTP Path...................................... TFTP Filename.................................. AS_2000_3_0_x_x.aes --OR-- AS_4100_3_0_x_x.aes --OR-- AS_4400_3_0_x_x.aes Are you sure you want to start? (y/n) n Transfer Canceled Issue these commands to change the download settings:
* transfer download mode tftp
* transfer download datatype code
* transfer download serverip tftp-server-ip-address
* transfer download filename filename
* transfer download path absolute-tftp-server-path-to-file
Note: All TFTP servers require the full pathname. For example, in Windows, the path is C:\TFTP-Root. (In UNIX forward slashes (/) are required.)
7. Issue the transfer download start command to view the updated settings, and answer y when prompted to confirm the current download settings and start the OS code download.
This example shows the download command output:
transfer download start
Mode........................................... TFTP
Data Type...................................... Code
TFTP Server IP.................................
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
TFTP Path......................................
path>
TFTP Filename..................................
AS_2000_3_0_x_x.aes --OR--
AS_4100_3_0_x_x.aes --OR--
AS_4400_3_0_x_x.aes
Are you sure you want to start? (y/n) y

Deploying BO universes and webi reports in quality and production

Hi
We are on BO XIR2 SP5 and reporting on SAP BI Infocubes and Queries.
We have 3 environments setup,each for development,quality and production.
During universe development,while creating a new connection we provide the IP address of application server,username ,password,system id,client number etc details.
The above details would defer for 3 different environments.In our case we have built around 50 universes.
So what would be the smart way of deploying these universes in each of the other 2 environments?Because changing universe connection details would mean re creating the universe classes and objects which would be a huge effort.Would the webi reports continue to work upon re creating the universe with new connection details?
Please suggest a best and smart practice for the above scenario.

Hi,
Using Import Wizard tool in BO you can migrate Universe and Reports from dev env to test.
Using the Import Wizard tool you can migrate the reports.
Steps are as follows:
Open Import window:
In Source environment , enter the details of dev environment.
Destination wizard you have to enter Test env credentials.
Then you have to select all the universe and the wid files from this wizard (The files you want to transfer ).
Finally finish this wizard by pressing finish button.........
Hope this will help you

Hi all,
I have an issue while designing a query in query designer.......I have a sales cube in which sales for every month is reflecting .....Now i have to design a query to show month wise sales....
But for some months if there is no sale record in the sales cube for that particular month like Feb 2006, when i execute the query on this month using BEX or web analyzer , it simply says "No data Found"..............
I want to show 0(zero) in sales quantity instead of this message.....Please guide me that how can i replace this message with zero value.

Dear Hina Zakir,
<b>This is the BI 7 Query designer solution...........</b>
if u want to disply even if the value is Zero then goto the query properties not the single key figures go to the entire quer property and then click the Row/columns in that Suppres Zeros in that select Do Not Suppress + Effect on Tab is there in the Select Row or column or both ................then u can ablet to c the values as Zeros..

The Oracle Database Programming using Java and Web services book is out

This book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555583296 shows how to build pragmatic applications using the combination of PL/SQL, Java in the database, JDBC, SQLJ, JPublisher, and Web services. It is intented for database developers, DBA, data architects, Java developers and Web services assemblers.
My blog http://db360.blogspot.com/ and the free/sample chapter http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf will give you a feel of the content.
Enjoy, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards
David O'Donnell

--> generate error
A database error occured. The database error text is:
The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].

Hi,
This is a big task and can't really be explained too well in a post. But here's the short version of the process you must follow:
1. In the information design tool, convert your old (unv format) universes to the new (unx) format and save them to the repository. This will create a new universe.
2. In each Webi report, go to the query panel and switch the report from looking at the old universe to the new universe. Assuming you're not making any changes to the universe all the objects will match and it will just work.
Chapter three of the information design tool manual is dedicated to converting old universes to new.
Changing the universe that a Webi report uses is in the Webi manual, it isn't specific to a BI4.0 migration.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to convert OLAP universes.
Lastly, I'd suggest making sure you're using BI4.0 SP01 - the information design tool seems to have quite a few things ironed out.
For a fast intro into the information design tool, you can [have a look at this|http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/bi40-information-design-tool.html].
Hope that helps!

Best Practice to bring OLAP Universe and WebI Report to Production

What are the best ways to bring a WebI Report that is developed on a OLAP Universe (based on BEx Query) from Development to Production environment?
Edited by: B.Wegner on Nov 8, 2010 2:54 PM

1) Move your BEx query from SAP DEV to SAP PROD (SAP internal transport system)
2) Move your report (incl. universe) using the LCM or the Import Wizard from your BOBJ DEV to your BOBJ PROD system
3) Edit the universe connection in BOBJ PROD to point to your SAP PROD system.

OTN Forums uses ESI and Web Cache

For the curious, the OTN Forums application uses Web Cache 9.0.2 and ESI -- I think since April.
We'll be preparing some case studies on Oracle's use of Web Cache for various customer-facing sites
over the next couple of months, so I'll be able to share more info then.

The Discoverer development team is currently making a few adjustments to Discoverer Viewer so it can work seamlessly with WebCache. You may see this functionality in 4.1.39, otherwise it will be in 9iAS release 2.

G5 Crashes when using iTunes and web browser

On a fairly consistent basis, my G5 will lock up if I'm listening to music in iTunes while using my web browser. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari or FireFox, and it doesn't matter what music I'm listening to.
It also sometimes happens if I'm using Dreamweaver.
The music just stops playing and it sounds as if iTunes is stuck on a song, kind of like our old LPs used to do when the needle got stuck. The only solution is a hard reboot.
Any suggestions?

Apple is testing iOS 6.0.1 to fix these issues&stability improvements. I have iPod touch 4th gen too, and it is pretty bad for me too. The best way to get Apps&Games on your iPod touch is to sync it with your computer using iTunes v. 10.7. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Error when using defined object in Universe in Web Intelligence

Hi all
I create universe connect from Infocube
I create a new Object named "Sale Value" to get YTD of Object name "SS Total value of the invoice lin" with code following
<EXPRESSION>SUM(YTD(@Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line)))</EXPRESSION>
I parse to check systax "OK".
But when I run query and using above defined object in Web Intelligence, I get error following
<<

>>
I check MDX PARSER connection in SM59 sucessfull
I am beginer of Universe and Web Intelligence, please help me solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
The MDX parser in the universe designer just check the XML Tags or Syntax. It does not validate the expression.
The YTD, QTD, MTD functions in the universe designer requires a reference to a predefined time chararcteristics eg. 0CALMONTH etc. So the correct expression would be similar to the below expression:
<EXPRESSION> SUM(YTD([0CALMONTH].CurrentMember), @Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line))</EXPRESSION>
Also you need to add the time characteristics in the result set.
Regards,
Rohit

Version control for universes and reports

Post Author: Steven
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi All,
We're running BO Enterprise XI R2 and I'm looking for ideas which will allow me to version control updates to my universes and webi reports. We've got a large development team and we've been caught out a few times with overwriting each others updates.
Is there a way of doing this with XI R2 or are there any integrated 3rd-party software tools which provide this functionality (that you'd recommend)?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Satya,, this can done easly throw some a third party product i used before, only with one single click
drop me an Email and i will discuss this with you.
