Web Intelligence navigation somewho fuzzy

Hi folks,
If I navigate in a web Intelligence report,
after a few operations, like drill down, drill up, cut slice and dice or filter
the items are pretty much tossed arround and Iwon't get it ordered
any more.
Any one haveing the same experience ?
Any button not hitted ?
Any work arround ?
Any Authorizationmissing ?

Well, I will verify but not sure is what we need.  Explorer look more a seraching engine.  In this case, all the information is in one universe, a simple universe. 
We are almost 70% OK with Web Intelligence but it miss some feature when try to slice and dice or drill into it.
We have a universe (in this case) which is very OLAP wise.  It's a universe where we have a agregate table with dimension and user need to look information very, very quickly.  With Web Intelligence, they can do but it's sometime hard with filter and drilling. 
By exemple, in web intelligence, try to do a IN LIST filter.  Yes, you can do with right click, choose a dimension, select your list, etc...  Now, explain this to a manager, a director, or even to a VP.  You lost him or her.  They want something very flexible and easy. 
What about the drilling function in web intelligence...Every project we try this siolution, we forget it after couple of try.  We are certainly not the only to thing like this.
But I will verify Explorer anyway

  • Issue with "Drill" & navigation for Web Intelligence Rich client

    Hello,
    I  have created a document by using a local Excel file in Web Intelligence Rich client tool.
    1.Now I want to use "Drill" option to my document...can you please help me in this respect as I am not getting the "Analysis pane" & other standard options(for Drill) that we get for a document created from a Universe?
    2.I have 4 reports in this document. I want to  navigate from the first report to any other reports in the same document by clicking a button or link in the first report.Any idea how to do it?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Soumya

    1. have you created any hierarchy in the universe ? after creating required hierarchy, in the webi report you need to enable drill mode.
    2. you can use opendocument url with sReportName parameter. Please check this doc for details: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf
    But for this you need to export the report to InfoView.

  • Web Intelligence Report + BI 7.0 Analysis Authorizations

    Hello Experts,
    I have created a report on a universe based in a SAP BW InfoCube that contains an authorization relevant InfoObject (Company Code).
    BW Analysis authorization have been set up for this cube in such way that the user should have access only to data containing one of the two values of Company Code (lets say for example that the user can access value "A").
    It seems to be working fine when testing them via a BEx Query or via rsecadmin (rsrt with detailed analysis authorization logs). When the test user tries to view the full contents of the specific cube gets an "access denied" message (this is normal), whereas if the user runs a report with a filter "A" on Company Code the report returns the results as it should have. So far so good.
    For testing use within Web Intelligence, I have created the following Single Sign On (SSO) universes: a)directly on the cube, b)via a "select all" query and finally c)via a filtered query (filtering the exact allowed values of analysis authorization of the test user). All of the above have unfortunately the exact same issues:
    When a test user with limited analysis authorization (i.e. a user that can only access value "A" of Company Code) tries to view a report on either of these universes, then the result is the following message when trying to execute the query "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error loading cube MyCube/MyQuery (catalog MyCube): Unknown error. (WIS 10901)"
    I have tried several settings on the universe (like filter working on LoV as well) but none helped.
    If we replace the user's analysis authorizations with full access on company code (values "A" and "B") the query runs as it should have.
    Any ideas?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    has the Universe been created on the cube level or on the query level ?
    In case it is on the cube level it will fail because :
    Analysis authorizations are not based on authorization objects. Instead, you create authorizations that include a group of characteristics. You restrict the values for these characteristics.
    The authorizations can include any authorization-relevant characteristics, and treat single values, intervals, and hierarchy authorizations in the same way. Navigation attributes can also be flagged as authorization-relevant in the attribute maintenance for characteristics and can be added to authorizations as separate characteristics.
    You can then assign this authorization to one or more users.
    All characteristics flagged as authorization-relevant are checked when a query is executed.
    *A query always selects a set of data from the database. If authorization-relevant characteristics are part of this data, you have to make sure that the user who is executing the query has sufficient authorization for the complete selection. Otherwise, an error message is displayed indicating that the authorization is not sufficient. In principle, the authorizations do not work as filters. Very restricted exceptions to this rule are hierarchies in the drilldown and variables that are filled depending on authorizations. Hierarchies are mostly restricted to the authorized nodes, and variables that are filled depending on authorizations act like filters for the authorized values for the particular characteristic*

  • Refresh of Data in Xcelsius from Web Intelligence Results

    Hello,
    I am new to the forum but not to Business Objects/Xcelsius.  I attended the SAP Sapphire Event last May and spent time in the Business Objects lab.  Two Product Managers demonstrated how I would be able to refresh the data in an Xcelsius dashboard using Live Office by retreiving results from a Webi document without refreshing the Webi query. 
    For example, my Webi document contains 100,000 result rows.  I want to be able to select a dropdown in my dashboard and have Live Office retreive only a subset of the 100,000 rows.  This being done without having the Webi query being refreshed from the database.  The Webi query would be refreshed nightly.
    The Product Managers advised that this functionality would be available in Service Pack 3 or before.  As of now I cannot find out how to make this work.  Any help or information would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hello Charles,
    WebIntelligence Input Controls are a way to enhance and customize user experience with report filters, they are therefore based on report filters and the feature is more focused on user interface & experience rather than exposition outside web intelligence.
    Anyway, AFAIK, report filters are not available from Live Office report parts, you can only filter content with prompts, which requires the document to be refresh from the database, which has a direct impact on performance and scalability for consumers.
    However, if you are with WebIntelligence XI 3.1 SP2 you have the alternative to publish from WebI Rich Client, report elements (any table or chart) as web services (called BI Services).
    This tool is based on Qaaws technology, and share some of its features (main being that is uses the same Xcelsius Data Manager connection), it exposes a large part of WebI interactions to external consumers (esp. Xcelsius) : report filters, drill, prompts.
    Besides this tool provides a set of call input parameters to tune web service consumption for best performance and scalability, enabling to leverage WebI document management features like scehduling, publishing and refresh, so consumers can balance performance with real-time data.
    More information is available from WebIntelligence Rich Client user documentation from section sharing webi content with other web applications.
    I recommend you install the latest fix pack (SP2.5 and above), as some initial fixes were required to ensure full compatibility with Xcelsius.
    Hope that helps,
    David.

  • Connection from Web Intelligence over Universe to SAP ERP without SAP BW

    Hi there,
    is there a way to create a Universe which ic connected to SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) ? I want to use Web-Intelligence to create the Reports for my ERP-Data. But i don't want to make the way over SAP BW.
    Otherwise i have to use Crystal because Crystal + SAP ERP Integration Kit can handle a connection to ERP. But then i have to waste a lot of time for the accuracy to a pixel which i dont need and i dont want...
    Any Ideas ?!
    Thanks

    Hi
    you have 4 options:
    1) Load your SAP ERP data into an SAP BW system and use OLAP universes to build WebI reports.
    2) Use Rapid marts for SAP. This product comprises Data Integrator mappings that will allow to load your SAP ERP data into a predefined DWH based on a relational data source (like DB2, MS SQL Server or Oracle). It also includes a universe based on the predefined relational DWH that will allow you to build WebI reports.
    3) Use the Data Federator with the SAP R/3 connector. Please note that the R/3 connector is NOT a product rather a prototype tand will be used at own risk (SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Reporting for SAP ERP [original link is broken])
    4) NOT RECOMMENDED: Try to access the tables directly in the underlying database. Please note that this may work for some but not all of the ERP data. In several case the data are stored encoded in the underlying tables and there is no way to extract the required information. Additionally the ERP security will not be leveraged into the WebI report.
    Crystal reports is the currently the only BO reporting tool, which supports direct access to SAP ERP data sources.

  • Date data from Web Intelligence Report not equal to Date from Source

    Hi,
    I am creating a Web intelligence report based on a BEx query. I have a field called 'Date' that I am bringing over from the BEx query. It has a format of MM/DD/YYYY. When I view the 'Date' in Web Intelligence, it is displaying as 1/1/70. For example, in the BEx Query, 'Date' = 11/01/2011. In Crystal Reports, it is showing up as 1/1/70 as the only date. The source field contains more than 1 date.  I'm not sure what's going on. I am using the 14.0.0 (2010) version of the Web Intelligence through the BusinessObject Launch Pad.
    Please help!

    Hi
    The patches for SAP BusinessObjects BI4.0 are accumulative.  This means you can download the latest patch (for the Support Package that you have installed) and it will have all the patch fixes
    It looks like older patches are being removed from the sites & only the most recent patch or patches are available since they are accumulative
    I believe Patch 2.15 should now be available, but anything later than Patch 2.6 should help you in this instance
    I hope this helps

  • Difference Between BEx Web and Web Intelligence

    Hi,
    Could someone help me understand why someone would want to choose SAP BW BEx Web over Web Intelligence (apart from license issues)?
    Web Inteligence is a very strong tool from a UI point of view and has can do most of the functions that SAP BW BEx Web can. WebI allows users to actually create your own reports.
    A couple of drawbacks with WebI
    -  I can see is that Web Intelligence does not handle SAP BW hiearchies very well (i.e. they are not shown in a hierachical manner).
    - WebI holds the data within the report which can mean long run times. BEx Web only brings back data for fields that are shown in the report
    I have heard people saying that BEx Web is an OLAP tool and WebI is not. How does this make a difference?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    http://www.sdn.sap.com//irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d00ae0a1-8086-2d10-118c-f35b8e604bc4
    BEx is an OLAP Tool and Web Intelligence for sure not - means that Web Intelligence is not designed for multi-dimensional concepts.

  • Problem with Dates in the Web Intelligence

    Hello Everyone,
    I am facing a problem with the Web Intelligence Report, in the universe there is a Date field (L01 Date and L01 Date Key). In the report Web Intelligence when i use L01 Date Key it works fine (like 10/07/2010), but when i use L01 Date it shows a Strange Date like 31/12/69. I´ve already tried out with another infocube and query, but the value is the same (31/12/69).
    Does anybody have any idea ?

    Hi,
    The problem is coming because L01 field contains summary data of L01 filed and L01 key field contain actual value of that field.
    so date field cant be summarize so that's why you are getting an error. Please check with some non date field. hope it will work perfectly fine.

  • Web Intelligence report fails after adding hyperlink

    I am trying to add a hyperlink to a Business Objects report created in Desktop Intelligence 3.1.  When I export the report to WebIntelligence and try to run the report, I get an error box that pops up with the following message:

    Can anyone please tell me what is going on?  I can't find any reference to that error anywhere.

    This problem is with a report created in Desktop Intelligence and then run in the Web Intelligence environment.  If I tried to run the report, it would fail.  The only way I managed to get the report to work, was to turn off the auto refresh when open.

  • Creating a new Web Intelligence document using OpenDocument (requires an existing document?)

    We use the OpenDocument interface to embed the Web Intelligence viewer in our web application.  One of the problems we're having is that the code appears to require a valid document ID, even if all you want to do is create a new document (passing the noDocument=true flag, so that the application opens with no document at all).
    I've tried various permutations of the following, with no success, always getting this error message (An error occurred: Could not find the document)
    E.g:
    http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true...
    http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&iDocID=...
    http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&iDocID=-1...
    http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&iDocID=0...
    http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&sDocName=...
    http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&sDocName=new...
    It appears the only way to get OpenDocument to allow you to do this is to use an existing WebI document ID.  That is to say you can't create a new document unless you already have an existing document to include in the call to the JSP.
    This limitation appears to be artificial and only on the OpenDocument interface -- You can create new documents in Launchpad without having an already existing document to point to.  Documenting the workaround for this, having people installing the product first make a webi and save it, then configuring it so it has read-only permissions (so it doesn't accidentally get deleted), then configuring our application to lookup the ID isn't the most elegant of experiences.
    I was wondering if anyone had run into this before and/or if anyone at SAP could look into it?  I'm hoping it's an easy limitation/bug to fix.
    This limitation affects 4.1 SP4 and probably older versions of the OpenDocument interface.  See also:
