Web report for Sentinel Log Manager (or possilby RD)

Hi all,
My customer wants to replace Webtrend. So customers are given me a set
of
apache log files. They said based on those logs Webtrend could already
build
some useful web based report for their business units. From what I have
known,
what makes them useful are:
1) Those IP addresses could be resolved to domain, identifying the
source of
the browsers
2) URL are analyzed such that they could give a 'hit rate' based web
report for
trend analysis.
3) What browsers are used to view their web sites so they know the
compatibility
issues.
If I customize our report now, would it be possible to generate similar
reports for the above items?
1) I wonder if it is possible during the report generate, would some
other add-on java plug-in could work for the DNS resolution before data
generation?
2) Any one know the logic of the webtrend about how it correlates
various URL visited in the apache logs are considered different 'hit'?
3) I believe we could base on filter to identify different version of
the browsers used?
I don't have a webtrend so I could not compare and look at how they
generate reports from the apache log I have. Please let me know if
anyone has any idea about it.
Thanks,
Geoffrey

Hi geocheng,
For (1): this feature already exists, although it's in a somewhat
experimental state. You need to install the Generic Hostname Resolution
Service Collector, and then enable hostname resolution for each
Collector (in this case, the Apache Collector).
For (2): I'm not sure what a "hit rate" is, but the Apache Collector
should give you a list of URLs that were visited and you should be able
to calculate counts per URL (split across the TargetDataName and
TargetDataContainer, note) using a SQL query or whatever.
For (3): I don't actually know what, if anything, the Apache Collector
does with the browser details; it may put that into the
ExtendedInformation field. You may wish to customize the Collector
slightly (this should be pretty easy to do) to copy that specific data
into a separate CV field; if you do that, then calculating the relative
frequency of hits from different browser types will again be a simple
COUNT style SQL query.
This is an interesting use case - we haven't really built much content
around the Apache Collector but as you are indicating, there might be
some simple things we can do that would be pretty useful. I'll take it
up as a potential project...

How to show muliti language data correctly using webi reports

Hi ,
Can you please suggest me how to show multi language data correctly in webi reports .
Do we need to install any lang pack in both server and client machine ?
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

you mean using translation manager? or data from DB? or both.
You need to make sure that your DB is already configured for multiple languages.
Enable the OS for multi languages
On XIR3.1, you will need to install language packs on the processing servers. then you can utilize translation manager.
Installation of Language Packs are a pain to install and update.

WebI Report using BW Query

Hi,
I am using WebI Report using BW Query. I don't see some Formulas in Universe which is there in BEx Query.
Did anybody face the same problem before?

Hi,
I meant that you should post in the forum the calculation contained in the formula that you cannot see in your universe.
But let's start from the begining since you are new to SAP: Did you generated the universe yourself? If the formula was added in the query after the universe was created then you must refresh your universe (In the Universe designer please select the option "Refresh structure" under the "view" menu) in order to get the newly created formula (I assume we are takling about a calculate figure here) in your universe also.

Currency Conversion in WebI Report

Hi All:
Need your help in currency conversions using WebI Report.
Current Scenario:
    Currency conversions are currently achieved at BEx Query Designer level where target currency is determined through a Selection Variable.
Proposed Solution:
   As per the Business proposal, BW will be publishing the data to Terradata; a universe will be built on Terradata and a WebI report will be based on this universe.
Question:
   How can this type of currency translation be achieved in WebI Based Report?

BI 7.0 Web Report and Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We have recently performed technical upgrade to BI 7.0
Now we would like to migrate web reports to NW2004s functionality. Is it necessary to configure inbuilt BI Portal before we can use web reports?
Best Regards,

Hi,
take a look at this note which describes how to setup BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. All required steps are mentioned. Additionally, this note contains a checklist to check the installation and configuration.
SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web
SAP Note Number: [917950 |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_sys/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d393137393530%7d]
In SAP NetWeaver 2004s, load is moved from AS-ABAP (BI-ABAP) to AS-Java (BI-Java). BI generates load on Portal (AS-Java), therefore BI users generate more load on Portal than normal Enterprise Portal users. See note 927530 for additional information about BI-Java sizing.
Which functionalities of BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s are requiring a Portal?
- New BEx Web Application Designer (Unicode, Command Wizard, ...)
- Exporting to PDF and Printing
- Integrated Planning
- Drag&Drop (Analysis Web Item)
- Web Items (Container Layout, Menu Bar, Tab Pages, Button Group, ...)
- Formatted Reporting with BEx Report Designer
- Document Integration with storage in Knowledge Management
For details, see Release Notes for Usage Type BI-Java under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/index.htm
If you don't want to use the new BEx Web functionality, you can still use BEx Web 3.5 Runtime that is running only with Usage Type AS-ABAP.

Multiple Column Header in Report (BEx and Web Reporting)

Hi All,
        I've a requirement where my reports is having multiple column header.
   To be precise the column header is further divided into many sub-columns (upto 4 levels).
Structure cannot help in this case since we have more than 2 such columns and we are using web reporting as well.
Here is how it looks
                         <b>Header-A</b>
Header-B1   |   Header-B2   |   Header-B3    | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
The above is a sample header structure.
This report will be a Web Based report and I need to know whether its possible to do it in BEx also.
We are not using Crystal Reports.
If there is any document related to this, please mail to
[email protected]
Thanks & Regards,
Chandran Ganesan

Hi Chandran,
I hope i am getting your problem right.
If your
Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
are a set of key figures, then there is an option.
For example:
You drag Header-B1,Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2
into column section.Right click on Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 and select down under. So your Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 will be under
Header-B1.
Like wise drag Header-B2,Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2
Right click on Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2 and say Down under and these two will fit below Header-B2.
You can repeat the above steps for Header-B3... Header-Bn
The output will be same as the one you have specified above.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Parth.

Get client ip in web reports 9i

Hi
we are using oracle 9i reports.
we want to get client's ip address when running web reports.
We are having forms which gets the ip address using
webutil but the same functionality is not available
in web reports.
How can this we get the client's ip address
when using web reports?

Hi,
From WebUtil documentation:
WebUtil is primarily focused at solving the more common challenges faced by Forms developers whowish to build applications which integrate tightly with the "Client Browser" machine - the machine that the end user is actually sitting at.
Traditionally Forms has provided the means of integration with the machine that the Forms executable is running on, but in the Web-deployed scenario this can be remote from end users and may even be a different operating system from the systems that are being used to host the applicationâs user interface. WebUtil gives Forms developers the means to interact with the client browser machines with PL/SQL, without having to learn any new technology.
As far as I know, Oracle Reports has never provided this functionality. In fact, there hasn't been much stress on interacting with the client machine. And thus there is no direct functionality in 9i as well, to get client machine information.
If you are running your reports from Forms, you can get the client's IP address in the Form and populate it in a temporary table in the DB, from where Reports can then pick it up.

WEBI reports integration with SAP portal

Hello BO experts-
Our client is looking to integrate WEBI reports with SAP portal. I found some documents which describe about have an url iview.
I just want to find out if it is possible to federate webi server with SAP portal.
Thanks,
Sharath.

I don't think you can federate WebI server with SAP portal.
You can use WebI report IDs and integrate with Portal.

How to connect Already created WebI reports with Xcelsius Dashboards

HI Experts,
My requirement it to bring data from already in use WebI reports to a consolidated Dashboard. I am aware of connecting universe with Dashboard with the help of QaaWS.
Is there is any other way that we can connect our dashboard?
We are thinking to publish those dashboards on the SAP Enterprise BI Portal.
Thanks in advance!!!
Edited by: BIBO_Apprentice on Aug 13, 2011 7:40 AM

Hi,
One can connect WebI reports with Xcelsius dashboards in 3 ways:
1. Using QaaWS : connects universe with Dashboard. Dashboard uses the WSDL link to get data that works on SOAP (that works on exchanging web structures).
2. Using Live Office Connection: With the help of Live Office one can connect the WebI reports directly. One can take advantage of the scheduled instances of the WebI reports. So it is good for time consuming reports.
3. Using BI Web Services: Here custom web services are created of intended report instances. Publication is done from CMS side.
after that WSDL is used as any other web services.
Get back if you need any further clarification.

Search for display attributes in Web reporting

Hello,
When I execute a query in Excel, in the variable entry screen, I can search values for material, for example, using some display attributes as Colour or Size. I mean, I want to execute the report for materials whose colour is white. I can open the matchcode for Material, I select the value "white" for the Colour display attribute, and I get a list of all the materials with that colour. The report is executed for those materials.
However, when I execute the same report using Web reporting, I don't have the display attributes in the selection screen, to restrict the material. Once the report is executed, in the Navigational block, if I filter the material, there is an option called "Search for display attributes activated", where I can restrict per Colour, but only for one value.
I have two questions related to this topic:
1) Is it possible to have the functionality "Search for display attributes activated" in the variable entry screen, for Web reports, in the same way it is available in the reporting via Excel?
2) Is it possible to configure that functionality, in order to restrict several values for the display attribute at the same time (in my example, for Colours "white", "black" and "red" at the same time)?
Thanks very much for your help
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Looks like you have some new navigational attribute requirements, don't you think? I'm sure that would solve your issue, though maybe you're trying to avoid using navigational attributes (it is usually said that using navigational attributes is slower).
Maybe you can do a test on BEx to check if your query is considerably slower when filtering directly by material code (by filtering on the selection screen using display attributes) or using a navigational attribute.
Match codes on web reporting have lost some functionalities compared to BEx (such as importing a list of values from a file, for instance).
Regards,
David.

Linking a WEBI report through hyperlink in a webpage using open document

Hi All,
I have a hyper link in a web page which when clicked should open a WEBI report. I created it using the open document feature.
Once clicking on the link, InfoView login credential page is displayed. After logging in the report runs.
My client does not want the login page to be displayed since most of the users does not remember their password (since SSO is implemented).
He wants to bypass this login page so that most of the users can directly view the reports.
Question:
Is there a way to achieve this i.e without asking for login credentials or by passing this?
Possibilities :
1: To create ID's for all the people (which I think is not a feasible option in my project)
2: Create a guest account with minimum privileges and share the password with all the users.
Note:
1: I use BO XI R 3.1.
2: No SDK is installed to do any programming.
Any suggestion are most welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shreyas,
Manual Easy Way for doing the activity in SAP Business Objects 4.0:
This method is useful if we have a special system account that we want everyone to use.
You will notice that all we do is generate a logon token using the appropriate username, password and CMS variables. Then we append the token onto ivsLogonToken.
Note: The numbers on the url after /BOE/portal represents the timestamp of the last patch or install. You can put whatever you want under the number section and Business Objects will automatically redirect to the appropriate start.do
Step I:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
Step II:
You can copy the contents from the custom.jsp that I’ve provided below to your custom.jsp.
Cutom.JSP File
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.net.*"%>

<%@ page import="java.sql.*"%>

final String BO_CMS_NAME = "bi4server";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";

final String BO_PASSWORD = "admin@123";
ILogonTokenMgr logonTokenMgr;

boolean loggedIn = true;
try {

defaultToken = logonTokenMgr.createWCAToken("", 20, 1);
//Redirect with token attached to the ivsLogonToken parameter
response.sendRedirect("http://"+BO_CMS_NAME+":8080/BOE/portal/1205291547/InfoView/logon/start.do?ivsLogonToken="+Encoder.encodeURL(defaultToken));

Edit the username,Password & BOBJ Server Name'in BOLD Letter
Step III:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Step IV:
Trusted Authentication:
Trusted Authentication is a component of Enterprise authentication that integrates with third-party single sign-on solutions, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Applications
that have established trust with the Central Management Server can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.
This method is really cool because users don’t even have to know their passwords. Basically with this method you can log into another system and if that system has the appropriate user name, you can pass it to the custom.jsp and then it will log you into BI Launchpad.
In addition, you don’t need to create any java code for the enterprise token setup.
Step V:
In the CMC, go to Authentication, then select Enterprise. Check Trusted Authentication is enabled, then click on New Shared Secret. Finally download the shared secret key and keep it somewhere secure
Step VI:
Copy global.properties from <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default into <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom. Then using Notepad or another text editing utility, edit the following properties
sso.enabled=true
trusted.auth.user.retrieval=WEB_SESSION
trusted.auth.user.param=UserName
trusted.auth.shared.secret=<secret code from properties file you created in step 2>
Step VII:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
<\!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:goToLogonPage()">Click this to go to the logon page of BI launch pad</a>
</body>
Edit the username(Daya) variable
Step VIII:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Hope this help you as well.
