Web-Report - Graphs are wrapped without need

Hi Specialist,
I need to build a "print-save" web-template which contains 2 graphics next to each-other.
In the browser this works as expected - the graphs are displayed besides each other.
As soon as I try to print that page (via PDF), the 2nd/right graph is wrapped into the next line.
I didn't manage to figure out how to change the settings for printing the graphes as wanted.
Could you please gimme a hint about that?

Hi Simon,
When you export Web template result to Excel/PDF, All tables or charts will display one above the other..not as it is in the Web Template Image.
In your case,chart should diaplay one above the other.Try to see in the Export PDF Button settings & set your page size and fittings
Hope it helps
Sriman

How to schedule a webi report in csv format without header?

I have a requirement to create scheduled csv reports without table headers? I am unable to do this from CMC. It gives the column headers by default in the exported csv file. However, in the webI rich client, I have an option to save the document as "CSV-Archive" which allows me to omit the column header.
How are these two options different and is there a way to get the "CSV-Archive" option from CMS?
Looking for your valuable suggestions.
Thanks
Sukanto

Is there a way to get the "CSV-Archive" option from CMS?
Customization of existing options or features in CMC is not available, it will become an enhancement request, you have to place this request in SAP Idea place.
WebIntelligence Rich client is a desktop tool, auto schedule of reports as .csv is not possible, save as CSV and save as to "CSV Archive" from Rich Client is a manual job.
BI launch pad, CMC are BOE Server components have the ability to auto schedule as .csv, as a default behavior column headers will be exported to CSV along with report data.
As a workaround, have a copy of original wibi reports in your webi reports you have to hide table headers and schedule them to save as .csv
To hide table headers:
Edit the report -> Select table block properties -> Chose 'Format Table' -> Under 'General' properties 'Display' options un-check "Show table headers"

Query Builder - Find WEBI reports that are using a table

I am trying to find list of WEBI reports using a specific table. This specific table is used in only 1 universe.
Though I could successfully find list of reports that use this universe, I am unable to find drill down further and find the subset of reports using this table/object.
SELECT si_name, SI_KIND, si_id, SI_PARENTID,SI_AUTHOR,SI_OWNER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS
WHERE PARENTS("SI_NAME='WEBI-UNIVERSE'","SI_NAME ='MyUniverse'")
Is it possible to find the information I am looking for using query builder.
Also, for a given WEBI report I am trying to find the list of report names and the folder they reside in:
Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_PATH, SI_KIND, SI_OWNER From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE
PARENTS("SI_NAME='Folder Hierarchy'",
"PARENTS('SI_NAME=''WEBI-UNIVERSE'' ', 'SI_NAME=''MyUniverse'' ')" )
The above query just gives me the folder names. I am looking to find the report names as well the the folder (and preferably the path) in a single query. Is that possible.

Sri,
With respect to your 1st requirement:
In BusinessObjects 6.5 it was possible. However, post BOXIR2 this information could not be retrieved from CMS via query builder. I agree with Jorge Sosua's comment above.
With respect to your 2nd requirement:
The field 'SI_PATH' will retrieve Filestore path(physical path). If you were referring logical path(Public folder path or psuedo-reference path) will you please refer my respone to Kelly Stone at BusinessObjects Query builder queries - Part II , If this may assist you.

Any WebI reports / graphs for job chain performance over time?

I am trying to get reports over time that contain job and job chain information such as job chain, job description, elapsed time, job status, etc to allow for trend reporting against the job schedules. Thanks for any help. I would have thought that there was some basic reporting that could execute and be saved for reporting and reference.

Hi Robert,
For WebI/Graph report, you need to create the Dashboard but it will not give details which you required. It will be created on basis over day, time and dialer. You can find the option there for Graph/Techno etc.
If you want to create the report, please refer to below thread:

Schedule a Webi report from the CMC

Hi, ALL
Is there a way to schedule a Webi report from the CMC without using an email account in the
'from' box? There are other placeholders that can be used but I don't know how
to use them please advise.
Thanks.

Hermant,
You need to make sure you configure the proper email server. Go to the CMC - Server > AdaptiveJobServer>Destination>Email. You may need to enable Email as one of the Destinations.
You must configure all the HIGHLIGHTED options.

Ajay

Migrating Crystal and Webi Reports with Universe from 1 folder to different folders

Hi There
Does anybody know of a way to do the following
this is for BOE XI 3.1 SP 6 FP 6.2 on Windows 2008 R2
We have multiple Crystal and Webi reports developed from 1 universe and we need to copy these Crystal and Webi reports to different folders in the same CMS for example
Universe Dev > Universe Folder Dev - Crystal and Webi Reports set in Dev Folder
Create a copy of the Dev Universe to Universe Folder Test – Copy the Dev Crystal and Webi Reports to Folder Test we need to Map it to the universe in the Test Universe folder(Copy of the Dev Universe)
Create a copy of the Dev Universe to Universe Folder UAT– Copy the Dev Crystal and Webi Reports to Folder UAT we need to Map it to the universe in the UAT Universe folder(Copy of the Dev Universe)
Create a copy of the Dev Universe to Universe Folder PROD – Copy the Dev Crystal and Webi Reports to Folder PROD we need to Map it to the universe in the PROD Universe folder(Copy of the Dev Universe)
The reason for this is each of these universe are connected to a different database i.e Test, UAT, Prod and we have over 200 reports and at the moment we have to manually map each report to the new universe individual which take up hours.
I have tried Lifecycle manager but came to the conclusion it cannot achive this
You cannot change the universe attached to the Crystal and Webi reports
you cannot promote Reports and Universes in the Same CMS to different folders
you cannot change the folder even if you promote jobs between servers
Does anybody know of a way to do this

Hi,
The way you should do this is to have 4 different BO systems, Dev, Test, UAT and Prod.
Having this will allow you to use the same universe across all systems, but the connection to the database will be different on each system.
Not only will this allow you to smoothly report off different data sources, but you will also be able to upgrade and make configuration changes without impacting your production system.
Cheers,
Josh

Error while refreshing WEBi Report : Supplied XML Invalid

Hi,
I have a universe buit on BI query in production environment.
I changed the query in BI directly in PRD. The only chnage i did was ,unhide the keyfigure which was hidden originally as i wanted to see the data it brings in BEx analyzer.
Then i agian chaged that key figure to Hidden.
now the WEBi reports which are built on the universe which uses this bi qury is not getting refreshed.
It gives the error : Supplies XML invalid
I refreshed the Universe and Parsed it.there was 1 parsing erroe in Filter.Still i exported the universe.
Now generally the WEBI reports start working after re exporting the universe, but this time it is not working.
What can be done in this case.???
I dont think it is because of parsing error as i have exported the same universe earlier with same error and reports worked fine that time.
following is in the WHERE section of the filter:
<FILTER KEY="[!V000006]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Posting date','D',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>

How you tried editing Webi report ?
Its possible that your changes to Bex query while propagated to Universe after structure refresh, have changed some of the objects, and that change is not in Webi report yet, you'll need to edit it and maybe re-map objects.....

Display WebI Reports in JSP pages

Post Author: merciless
CA Forum: JAVA
Hello,we are using Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 Release 2with SP1 on Windows 2003. We want to integrate a report viewer into our portal, based on J2EE and JSP running on Tomcat. We tried to use the WebIntelligence RE SDK JSP Tutorials Release 110.000.00000, but it seams that this tutorial is designed von BO Enterprise 11, and we found no easy way to get it working. Most JSP samples from BOusing the CrystalReportViewer, but we want to use aviewer for WebI reports only. We also need the possibilityto securely pass filters to the reports (openDocument.jspis no solution). The filters should be set in Java codeto prevent URL manipulation. Can anybody help us? A link to a working tutorial would be fine.Another problem we have: Is it possible to solve our problem, if the Java code is running on Linux 64bit with BO on Windows 32bit? Does anybody made some experiences with that?Many Thanks!merciless

Scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL.

Our customer found when they scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL, it will cost much more time than usual after they have their SIA restarts.
The first time it takes 4-5 times longer to receive a report in mailbox than next time onwards.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Hi Abishek,
If the schedule is taking 4-5 times longer to schedule following the SIA restart I suppose it is possible that the Webi Job Server and Webi Processing Servers are not fully registered with the CMS - can you check that.
Also can you test by ensuring that if there are any Webi Job Servers\Webi Processing Servers in the environment which are stopped\disabled, can you retest after deleting those servers. There is a bug with XI3.1:
ADAPT01371367
Description:
Scheduled jobs often have a delay when the system is upgraded to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP 2.2 or FP 2.3.This problem also happens when some of the servers required for scheduling are stopped and disabled. In this case, the Adaptive Job Server (AJS) tries to confirm if all available Webi Report Servers are running, and this causes the delay in running the scheduled jobs.
New Behavior:
This problem has been resolved.
Do you have a test system where you could install FP3.1 and check the fix?
The only "workaround" I could suggest would be to ensure that all services needed for the schedule are running\enabled (Adaptive Job Servers and Webi Processing Servers). This will stop the Adaptive Job Server from its continual querying for those servers. The adverse effect of this is that the more unnecessary services which are running will necessitate increased network communication.
To check if this is the actual issue you are hitting, you would need to trace the schedule and check for messages like this in the logs:
[2010-08-27 12:02:08,769] [TID:24] [ERROR] [webi.PublishingHelper.<init>():89]: unable to retrieve all mandatories servers to proceed this job
Alternatively, log a message with SAP Support for further investigation.

Web report Goto Opens in a new window

I have 2 web reports that are linked using the Goto command on the web context menu.
This functionality works fine, except I find that the target report opens in a new browser window.
Does anyone know how to force the target report to open in the same window as the calling report?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards
rich

Thanks Bhanu, that was exactly what I was looking for - had just overlooked the setting - apologies for the simple question!
For anyone who digs this up through a search, you actually need to put "_self" to have it open in the same window. If you use "_SELF" as is suggested in the Web Application Designer, it doesn't work...
Thanks again Bhanu

Isolating WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server

Post Author: Lucia Chan
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Has anyone successfully isolated WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to be processed by specific Webi Report Processing Server? We need to enforce governance on the database side. We can restrict scheduling for Webi reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server, but not for ad hoc reports. Otherwise is there a way to do connection override for scheduled Webi reports?

New version that's comming up SBO Bi4.0 will have bouilt in monitoring that will allow what you requesting.
In the current product line - this is not possible, unless you just monitor WIReportServer.exe at OS level and alert when it's memory or CPU usage goest too high... (if memory reaches close to and above 1.7gb - you're going into troubles.)
There are various fixes and improvements to Webi processing stability in recent fix and service packs, so if you're having webi instability - you should review latest FP fix issues list (in SMP to right of FP download there is an Info link - it leads to fixed issues docs).
If you do not see your issue listed - open incident with support - let them investigate.
Webi crashing when merging/unmerging dimentions sounds like a bug...

WIS 10901 error when creating a webi report based on OLAP unv (SSAS 2005)

Hi,
I'm using two VM.
Machine A is running SSAS 2005. I'm able to create SSAS cube. Everything is ok
Machine B is runing BO XIR3.1. I'm able to create webi report on relational DB without any problem or opening samples.
Both VM machines are on the same custom network and I'am able to ping both. SQL managment server studio is installed on both machines. I'm able to manage SSAS from B also and not only from A.
Creating unv with BO designer on machine B is OK, connexion is runing and universe has been created and published on the BO server
But when I create a webi report from B, using my OLAP unv based on SSAS located on machne A I recieve following error message :
Une erreur de base de données s'est produite. Le message d'erreur est le suivant : . (WIS 10901)
thanks for your help,

How to get folder/webi reports based on user rights in BOX3.1

Hi ,
We are using java SDK to interface with BOXI3.1.In our project users will login through J2EE Screen after login users needs to see what are webi reports they are having access.
It is very greatful for me if you provide sql query/java code to get reports based on access.
Thanks,
Subash

first of all with your user previllages you can test which folders or reports can be seen at http://[SERVERIP]:[PORT]/AdminTools/ web application. After login process you can prepare a query or you can try "SELECT * from CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND='Folder' " with this query you can see a list of folders for the user who you logged the application.
For java samples code I can send in a one or two days

Hiding variables in WebI report

Hi,
We have generated an Universe based on a BW query which has 5 user entry variables with user exit logic coded for each one.
Based on this Universe we wish to create 2 WebI reports.
However, for the both the reports all the 5 variables are displayed.
Is there a way to hide the variables, so that on the first report we see two variables and on the second WebI report we are able to see the remaining three variables.
For all 5 variables, we have some logic on the BW user exits and hence we want to leaverage the BW variables and not opt for the WebI variables.
Rgds

Hi Free Will,
How did you manage to hide the variable, we have a similar issue, I have created a BW variable that is populated by Customer Exit. The problem is, for the query to be filtered in the Webi Report it the variable has to be defined as "input ready", and this allows the users to change the data in the variable which I don't want them to do. If I don't make it input ready the WebI Report is not filtered.
If we could hide the variable it would solve our problem
Thanks in advance
Lucien

Webi report takes long time to open

Hi All.
We have created few reports in webi and we have used variables in these reports.
But while opening that reports into BI Launch pad browser, it is taking long time to open. e.g. 5 to 7 min or more.
Please help to resolve this issue.

Hi Anand R,
A couple of questions from my side:
1) Does the webi report contains any chart
2) Are webi reports which are slow only on a single .UNX
3) How about the network.
4) Are you using IE
5) Are you in 3.x or 4.x
Could you try any of the below:
1) Increase Tomcat memory pool to 4096Mb
2) Stop and restart Tomcat once.
3) Try with other browser
4) Use something like Fiddler to understand the network speed
5) Delete cookies in the browser
Try the other options told by our SCN colleagues aswell..
