Web Report Personalization

Hi,
I have a requirement for the web reports I have published. I am running BI 7 right now without BI portal but will be running in BI portal soon. Bascially, I want the report to remember what the last format a user ran a report. For example, the report has 3 characteristics displayed as default and additional characteristics are available for drill down in the free characteristerics section. The majority of the users will get the report as is. But one user, she always need one additional field called region from the free characteristics section to be displayed in the default report section. So she drill it down once she opens the report for the first time. The next time when she login and run the same report again, she will automatically get region displayed in the default section of the report without drilling it down again. What will take to make this work? Can someone give step by step instruction how to configure it? Thank you in advance!

There's a few ways this can be done. But bookmarking would be the easiest way. The user can set this up themselves.
Alternatively, you can use a view or create paramterized url which the user can call directly ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/29/4d15422ecce02ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm )

Webi report publication with org unit personalization mapping

Hi everyone,
I have an HR Webi report whose source is a Bex query and is scheduled (published) weekly. The report is meant for managers so in the dynamic recipient report (another webi report) I have manager's name, email and org unit. Right now the bex query does not restrict by organizational unit, the filtering by unit is done in webi through the 0employee's org unit attribute. This works, each manager only sees data of her own employees.
However, managers would like to see not only their direct people (employees belonging to her own org unit) but also submanagers, ie, managers of subordinate org units. I tried filtering through the org unit of 0ORGUNIT, not the employee's o.unit attribute, but that doesn't work. The same manager shows up multiple times in the report.
Has anyone managed to publish a webi report (or Crystal if that's possible) that shows the chief hat's subhierarchy?
thanks

Hi Graham,
The publication should work in the same way for a user or a group.
Can you please elaborate on u201Cassigning a user to the groupu201D, I believe this is probably where you go wrong.
Please test same workflow I suggested yesterady, but instead of user, use the group:
1. create the profile
2. add the group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the group for that profile
4. add the group to the publication as Recipient
Does it work or not? If so, then do as follow for the user and group:
1. create the profile
2. Add user and group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the user and group for that profile
4. add the user and group to the publication as Recipient
Please note that in the above steps, you donu2019t have to assign the user to the group.
Regards,
Jeff

Web report - Variable values while switching between views.

Hi Gurus,
We have a query which has a few variables that are getting populated with default values during query execution[customer exits].
We have added this query to the web.Now there is a date variable which gets populated with the current date value by default.Suppose the users don't vant to run the report for the current date, they are able to change the date in the variable window and execute. But once the report is run, and we try to choose a different vieew for the report, the report automatically gets refreshed with the selected view, but for the default current date value (because of the customer exit).Shouldn't the selected view be getting refreshed with the date values that the user had entered while executing the report?
Also when navigating between the different views, shouldn't a variable window pop up? Is there any setting to have the variable window pop up when navigating between the different views of a web report?
Would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks a Lot
Arvind

hello,
we need to go to Query properties -> interaction tab-> remove reuse variables to populate the variable screen everytime or "Save and reuse variable values" to supress variable window
or
Problem could be due to any personalisation.try this:
One the query is executed, click on the button which says change variable values.
In the variable pop-up screen which comes up click on the personalization button
In the new screen which comes up click on reset personalization button
Enter new variable values and execute the query.

Some blank WebI report sent by publication

Hello
I'm working on BO XI 3.1 SP2.
I have created two webi documents.
The first one contains a report used to list the dynamic recipients of mail.
This report is filled and display : Ids, Full Name, destination mail adress.
It contains undreds of recipients.
The second Webi document contains the datas I want to send to my recipients.
My publication is set with a personalization in order to limit the datas to the scope of each recipient.
For that I use two fields matching in the recipient document query and in the sent document query.
My publixation is scheduled once a week and works fine.
My problem is that some users receive blank reports with the normal publication.
When I try the test mode and I select these users as recipients, filtering the destination list by unchecking the tick box in the dynamic destination screen, I receive the Excel file all filled.
So Can you please help me explaining why my excel files are blank with the normal publication and filled with the test mode.
This problem doesn't appears for all users.
Lot of thanks

Hi Getdaone,
First off you are not supported under XI3.1 SP2 for Product fixes, so I would recommend you upgrade to a supported patch level, i.e. SP3 or SP4.
There a few known bugs with Publications delivering blank reports.
Please check the following SAP Notes to see if any match your workflow:
1540031 - Scheduling a Web Intelligence publication does not return data.
1630285 - Empty report tabs appear in webi report when scheduling through publication.
1539855 - Users get blank Web Intelligence reports from publications with profiles when the report is saved without data in BOE XI 3.1.
1570436 - Publications containing multi-query Web Intelligence reports scheduled to dynamic recipients is missing data or sends blank reports
The bug described under 1570436 is apparently fixed in FP3.7 which should be out in December.
I hope this helps <<Text removed>>
If not then I would suggest raising a support message with SAP.
Kind regards,
John

Problems access to a web application (Web Interface or Web report)

Hi,
We found problems with the access to web application. Some users have problems with direct links to the web applications(Web Interface or Web reporting), when they click on the link an error message appears, the message displays the following text:
"Cannot open file Bex?sap-language=ENbsplanguge=ENcmd=idoc_TE.."
Clicking in details the message is "No Access to specified file"
For this users the access to excel reporting is correct, the message appears when they click on the direct web links through the browser or directly in BW system, but if they type the URL they can access. Other users can use the direct web link without problems.
I highly appreciate any help or idea about how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
please ask to your basis that check the language of every single user on su01 tx.
This is the problem i think.

Hi,
I am working in Business Objects XIR2 environment. I have a WebI report with several sections. I need to show the report as a book with 69 sections (each section on new page). there are 69 sections on cost center and each cost center section has almost 10 sections embedded in it. When i see in regular view - I only see 69 pages but when I try to see in "View Page Lay out" option, there is one blank page added after each results page.
Please let me know how to remove this blank page. I need to give users the option to download the book as PDF on to their machine. Now, when I download to my machine, I see one blank page after each results page.

Jus convert your report in Page Layout mode and see if your first pafe is getting expand in the second page.
Now check if there are any cell going into second page.
- if there are any blank cell which is there after table.
you have to check formating very carefull.

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Analysis Authorization in BO 4.0 Webi report

Hi All,
I am using BO 4.0 and creating connection from Information Design tool to a BW query using BICS client. This connection is then published to CMC.
We are using SAP authentication and importing the roles from BW system. We have added profiles to this role and these profiles have Analysis Authorization set on Company Code. So one user can access data to one company code and vice versa. Now this works well in Bex Analyzer, but if I try to create a report in Webi, the analysis authorization fails. I went through the forum before posting this question and I found that is in 3.1 version and in most cases using SSO in universe connection solved the problem.
However in 4.0 I am using BICS client and followed the same processes to create a connection but for some reason it doesn't work ? Is this suppose to work differently in 4.0 ?
I have tried:
1. To create connection in Information Design tool using SSO, selecting user ID and password. It doesn't work.
2. Checked the Bex query and it already has Company code as a Characteristic restrictions (I have made it a mandatory variable).
3. Publish the connection to CMC with my Enterprise and SAP ID and in both cases it doesn't work.
Please let me know if anyone encountered a similar issue and what is the best method to resolve this.
(BO 4.0 no service pack or fix pack installed on the system yet)
Thanks - Appreciate your help !
Prasad Rasam

Ingo,
1. To create connection in Information Design tool using SSO, selecting user ID and password. It doesn't work.
>> Correct you need to setup you OLAP Connection with SSO.
>>> What I meant was I created the connections using both the methods, Using SSO it allows me to create a connection. The ID which I am using to create a connection has Admin access to BOBJ system. When I login as a regular user to create a Webi report and select this new connection, it throws an error message 'The DSL Service returned an error: com.businessobjects.dsl.services.workspace.impl.QueryViewAnalyzer$CannotGetCubeFromConnectionException: Cannot get the cube from the connection'
Using the other method to create a connection with User ID and password, I can create a connection and with the normal user login I can connect to the BW query but Analysis Authorization doesn't work.
Ingo : Could you be more specific what you mean here with the different users ? When you say "regular" user are you referring to an SAP credentials or SAP BusinessObjects Enteprrise credentials ?
2. Checked the Bex query and it already has Company code as a Characteristic restrictions (I have made it a mandatory variable).
>> The variable in the BEx query needs to be an authorization variable.
>>> This has already been set as Authorization variable. There is still a question here. If I select the variable as Authorization variable, I cannot set the other parameters in the query properties such as Mandatory variable (as this is greyed out).
Ingo : What other parameters would you like to configure ? Could you perhaps describe the scenario with more details ?
regards
Ingo Hilgefort

How to add A single row at the middle of the table in a Webi report

Hi,
I created a Webi report using Universe(Created universe using bex query).Now i have a requirement to display a row at the middle of a report. Can you please tell me ,how to add a sigle row at the middle of a Webi report.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Monika

Hi Monika,
It is not really possible to add a row (I assume you mean of unrelated data) to the middle of a table in a report. You can add a new table with a single row between two tables. For instance you could add a new one row table, or even single cells which are positioned relatively between two tables. Possibly a block on top of another. But this gets tricky.
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
Thanks

Error while executing webi report

Hello Experts,
I created a universe using SAP BI query. Now I am using this query to create webi report. so while creating webi report i select 1 characteristics and 1 key figure from the universe and putting them on result objects pane.
After putting these object when I execute the report i get following error:
Database error: SOFA Driver : Catastrophic failure. Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
Can anyone suggest me how to resolve this error?
Regards,
Nirav Shah

yes, underlying queries work perfectly fine. Universe are created without any issue. However,in WebI, when I drag the any TWO objects under any class or even combination of one object and one measurement key, as soon as I refresh query, the error pops up. If there is JUST ONE object, no issue at all. I can see the data.
Mean...if there is more than one object in any WebI report, the error is thrown by WebI report. And this happens only while running WebI against SAP BW/BI, query or against any InfoCube.
Thanks

Please check the parameters in the prompt section while scheduling and assign proper values.
