Using Voyager for BW cube reporting

Hi folks,
Am trying to use Voyager for reporting off a BW multicube. This is the first time am trying this tool out. Can't seem to find anything for Navigation attributes in the data panel when trying to create new queries. The same also applies for the display attributes attached to the Infoobjects, in that they do not appear on the Voyager side. How can this be handled at all? Or is that a known limitation?
On another front, are there any ways to create restricted key figure type functionality in Voyager? How can that be approached?
Appreciate any information on the above.
Thanks,
Rv

Hey,
Okay, first of all, i was able to create queries so there is definitely more to that then. I could not see any BW queries for the multicube in the Voyager .. are there any special settings that would show those queries?
Modifying queries - i could do that as well but then this is only applicable to the ones i created in the Voyager workspace. I am guessing you were referring to the BW queries in your note.
Okay, so for the RKFs, are there any other ways to overcome that limitation such as if my column spread to be something on these lines. Column 1 - Actual version for Previous year Sales , Column 2-Actual version for current year Sales and so on...
Thanks for looking !

Creating structure for FIAR_C03 cube reports.

Hi,
I want to create structure for report in 0FIAR_C03 cube. of which requirement is as follows.
-          Analysis of how old AR items are in days (key date for reporting minus the net due date),
-          what the balance of the open items are (USD and local currency),
-          Reporting by the country of the end customer,
-          GL restriction. We only want AR trade items, not intercompany.

Using FOP for generating PDF report

Hi,
I followed the otn article for generating pdf files uing FOP.
But I was unable to do so. When I debugged it I found that when the javascript tries to get the XMLFO output from htmldb it gets a blank xml output. I tried to use the exact same url the java script uses ( I got the url by using alerts in java script) I got back an empty xml file.
I am using htmldb 2.0 on 9.2.0.5.
Can any one point me to the right direction
thanks
amit

Hi,
I am using iAS 1.0.2.2.2 (Jserv) it is an Oracle Applications Environment.
I finished the whole note.
1. Downloaded the FOP jar files.
2. Unzipped the jar files in the JAVA_TOP of the Applications environment
3. JAVA_TOP is already in the class path of the jserv
4. Added the jsp file to the correct directory
5. Created the htmdb application with the java script
6. I put some debugging alerts in the java script
Now when I click on the pdf link I don't get any output. Because of the debugging statement in the java script I was able to figure out that the java script is not getting any output when it calls back the htmldb for the XML FOP outout.
I finally tried the URL which the java script uses directly. It came back with an empty xml file.
thanks

Using Profit Center Accounting for balance sheet reporting on various plant

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone please tell me the steps I need to take to use PCA for balance sheet reporting on various plants under one company code. If there is a better way then please let me know. Thanks

Hi,
It depends on the organisation structure you decide on and as such PCA is recomended for your requirement.
Cosider each plant as a Profit center and decide cost centers under each plant/profict centers.
For all the materials under each plant assign the prfict center or that pant.
Change the feild status groups for Profit centers as mandatory.
If you are in 4.7EE You need to write derivaton rules & Assign dummy profit center for scenarios that overlap or for sales made by one plant of the stocks of other plant.
Need to identify the Asset costcenter/Plant/location wise adn need to assign in ACSET.
You need to rum F.5D , F.5E as period end process.
Down payments need to be handled by way if user exits if you are in 4.7EE
If you are in >= ECC5.0 then simply activating the document split will give you the PCA wise balances without much month end closing activities.
Make Zero Balance and Profit centers as mandatory in document splitting charactersics.
In any case you need to completely test the scenarios and how you are goinbg to get th eprofit center in all the scenarios.
Reward if useful.

How to use voyager ?

Hi,
This is the first time i need to work with voyager.please provide answers for the following questions..
1)What exactly Voyager does? Is it doing Reporting or Analysis or both?
2)If it is a analysis tool,we can use BO itself.Then why we are going for voyager?
3)How voyager is different from BO in doing statiscal analysis?
4)can we access universe from voyager?if so how?
5)How can we use voyager for universe performance testing?
Can i get some material regarding how to access voyager through BO?

Hi ,
Thanks for sharing that user guide.But i have one more question.
The scenario is as follows..
Actually we need create a SAP OLAP universe in one environment and migrate it to anothe environment using import wizard and i have to test the performance of SAP universe with voyager.
I need to know what is the difference between normal universe and SAP OLAP universe?
Since voyager is the Query analysis tool how can we test performance of SAP universe using voyager...
I cant get clear picture from the task which is given..if you can understand the scenario just tell me clearly

Aggregates for inventory cube

hello
Can I use aggreagates for inventory cube (non-cumulative)?
thanks

Hi,
yes, you can suggest the aggregate for non cumulative (inventory cube) but with special care of time char. You need to include all time char in aggregates.
also see the help doc for details on how to use aggregates with non cumulative data model.

Is WebI the best tool for Excel file reporting?

For many years we use BO/DeskI to produce reports. The data source was DB2.
From time to time, the users find the production so user friendly the begin to use DeskI for reports with Excel files for input.
They create hundreads of reports with the 'Rich client' service.
Now we are upgrading to WebI and the Rich Client will be on the server. The BO Service server is a small machine, because of the licences we have.
We have bigs questions :
is WebI/Rich Client still a good solution for Reporting for external file like Excel?
Is this solution will create a ressource problem on the server when more then 100 peoples will connect and use the service?
Should we limite the external file for the rich client location on the server (we do not want to install any more software on client computers like with DeskI)?
Is a product like Crystal Report a better solution for office reporting (file like Excel, Access, text file, etc)?
In one word, is WebI the best solution for office reporting or we should go for a product like Crystal (server, ressources and licence limitation)?
Thanks

You should not compare Crystal Reports with Web Intelligence. If you were using DeskI then you should go with WebI because that means you are using ad-hoc reporting. WebI is the new DeskI. Crystal Reports is used for other purposes not for Ad-hoc reporting. You use Crystal for pixel perfect reports not for analysis.
For excel data sources, are you going to use Excel with universe design or directly in WebI?
If you are going to use it with Universe, then you will have some connection limitations. If more than one user tries to refresh the report based on excel universe, you will get an error.
On the other hand, if you will use the excel directly in WebI, you cannot refresh the report on InfoView (BIlaunch pad).
As you mentioned with not installing client tools then your choice will be the first one excel universes.
Hope this helps.

Create SSRS report using DMV for querying SSAS cube.

I am trying to create a SSRS Report to find the Cube/Dimension Status (when was Cube/Dimension last processed and is Failed/Success), for example I have below DMV query for the same.
SELECT CUBE_NAME, LAST_DATA_UPDATE FROM $System.MDSCHEMA_CUBES
When i execute the above query in MDX query window it comes up with results, when i try to create a data using the above query in report server its coming up with error.
Error : Please verify that the query is an MDX one and not DMX. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Controls)
Can we use DMV querys for createing SSRS report and what should be the datasource.
Thank You.

How to make use of 3EC_CS_1R for remote cube.

hi all,
I have activated the 3EC_CS_1A for consolidation reports but would like to use 3EC_CS_1R DataSource for remote cube, we have not installed SEM-BCS on the BI system, when trying to use the 3EC_CS_1R on the BI system, it complaints the DataSource can only be used by SEM-BCS. what is the best way to utilise this DataSource?
do I need to install SEM-BCS in order to use this DataSource? Can I just install BCS component only?
I am slightly confused as where SEM-BCS should be installed, on BI or ECC system?
cheers.

Can we use actual and plan data for same cube?

hi friends,
can we use actual data and plan data in same cube in bps.
Thanking u
suneel.

Hi,
Let us take std cube 0SD_C03 where we store billing info,sales order info and delivery info. But still in reporting we can get values without any mismatch in their respective KF. It is possible because of a cahracterstic called Documnet category which gets values in update rule by constant .
Similarly we can have 2 types of data (plan and actual) in a single cube by having different value for a characterstic. Most frequently used characterstics for this are 0VERSION and Value type.

Performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time after cube refresh

Hello Group Members,
This is a continuation of my earlier blog question -
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1e424a2-f102-4165-a597-f464cf03ebb5/cache-and-performance-issue-in-browsing-ssas-cube-using-excel-for-first-time?forum=sqlanalysisservices
As that thread is marked as answer, but my issue is not resolved, I am creating a new thread.
I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users system (8 GB RAM but around
4GB available RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cube DB - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after daily cube
refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (32 GB RAM, around 4GB available RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
As mentioned in my previous thread, we have already implemented a cube wraming cache. But, there is no improvement.
Currently, the cumulative size of the all 4 cube DB are more than 9 GB in Production and each cube DB having 4 individual cubes in average with highest cube DB size is 3.5 GB. Now, the question is how excel works with SSAS cube after
daily cube refresh?
Is it Excel creates a cache of the schema and data after each time cube is refreshed and in doing so it need to download the cube schema in Excel's memory? Now to download the the schema and data of each cube database from server to client, it will take
a significant time based on the bandwidth of the network and connection.
Is it anyway dependent to client system RAM ? Today the bigest cube DB size is 3.5 GB, tomorrow it will be 5-6 GB. Now, though client system RAM is 8 GB, the available or free RAM would be around 4 GB. So, what will happen then ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Could you run the following two DMV queries filling in the name of the cube you're connecting to. Then please post back the row count returned from each of them (by copying them into Excel and counting the rows).
I want to see if this is an issue I've run across before with thousands of dimension attributes and MDSCHEMA_CUBES performance.
select [HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_hierarchies
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
select [LEVEL_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_levels
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
Also, what version of Analysis Services is it? If you connect Object Explorer in Management Studio to SSAS, what's the exact version number it says on the top server node?
