Web Reports configuration

Hi!
I have a question about web reports, exactly what I need for getting the report on web...
Is it necessary a Web server????
Is it ITS necessary???
Thanks a lot

Hello all,
After going through the document (link) posted above, it looks like BW 3.X web reports can run without the presence of SAP EP. Is this correct to your knowledge?
SAP Labs and RIG people told us that EP is a mandatory component of web reporting in NetWeaver 2004s. If this is indeed true, does anyone know what core functionalities EP provides for BW web reports that the BI server (BW) can't do by itself (WAS)?
Thanks in advance,
Wang

  • 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 !

    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 ?

  • BW Analysis authorizations issue in BO Webi Report

    Dear All,
    I have one webi report which is on BEx Query-universe.
    Query has 6 authorization variables with ready for input(optional).
    User has authorizations for all 6 fields.
    But when we execute the webi report it is throwing error message  like" query do not retrive data"
    One of the  6 authorization fields has only few values , when we give " * " to this field the user can able to execute the report.
    Could  anybody tell me what is need be done here
    regards
    mhreddy

    Hi!
    Probabily the combination of authoriztions funcions are executing considering "and".
    See your configuration to considerer "or".
    Test one by one.

  • SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

    Hi,
    I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
    We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
    Below are the settings that I had done:
    Setting of Characteristic in BW:
    Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
    Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
    Example data:
    Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
    I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
    Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
    Thank you in advance.

  • SAP BI Mobile Publishing Webi report issue

    Hi All,
    We want to use the BI Mobile App on IPad for Webi reports. The app is successfully implemented on the IPad, connection to BO server is done, categories are visible. But no report.
    In Webi I tried to publish my report to the respective 'mobile' category, but the the 'Publish to' is missing in the menu.
    Save as is possible, but it has no effect.
    I checked the CMC and I have full authorisation for publishing (and anything else).
    What could be the reason that the 'Publish to' menu is not visible? Is this the reason why I do not see my Webi report in the Bi Mobile app?
    I would appreciate any kind of help.
    Danya

    HI Danya,
    You have already done the configuration it seems.
    Mobile Category has been created.
    Can you go to your report, right click, categories
    add it to Mobile categories
    check on your ipad
    Also, which version of BI and SAP BI app for mobile are you using?

  • Bad performance of Java Web Report in BI 7

    We are experiencing poor performance with Java web application(EP)
    comparing to that with ABAP web.
    We migrated our BI reports from the ABAP web interface to the Java web
    interface due to our upgrade to Netweaver2004 environment.
    The problem is that it takes much longer time to load the BI reports in
    Java web than in ABAP web.
    It is the same situation in RSRT. Java web needs more time to execute
    the same query.
    there is no EP logon performance delay, so I think the EP is configured good.
    But the response time of BI Java Web Report is delayed average of 4~5
    seconds in every Query compared in that of ABAP Web report.
    Anyone experience this situation?

    Hi,
    I am facing similar problem. How did you solve it?

  • Disabling Cache for a webi report

    Hello,
    We have BO 4.1 SP1 system. We have a webi report based on bw- bex. That bex is connected to a table in R3 that momentarily updates itself. So, we are supposed have a report connected to live data. (bex query cache is already disabled on bw)
    The problem is, by the data changes, the webi report fails to catch the new data in time. The bex query it is connected, almost momentarily updates itself, however, webi does not. The goal is to make the webi report's result data to match the bex query result as the table in R3 updates.
    To achieve that, we created a server group in CMC, named it "no-cache" and put some cloned servers with supposed no cache holding properties. (The screenshot of the servers are attached.) We scheduled the webi report in every 5 minutes, allowing only the no cache servers to be used. However, it is still reported that the webi report does not match the bex from time to time.
    Am I missing some server cache configuration? Or is a real-time data webi report not possible?
    Thank you

    Also, the third screen shot for the server properties is as below.
    Thank you again.

  • 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.

  • WebI report not refreshed after BW pwd change - SAP EP-KM asPoint of entry

    Config:
    BOXI3.1 SP3 FP3
    INTG. KIT SP3 FP3
    BW 7.01 SP5
    SAP EP 6.0
    Imported all transports
    Configured BW Publisher
    Configured SAP Authentication in CMC
    Imported required roles in CMC
    Imported KM Par file in Portal
    Issue:
    Users logon to EP with SAP BW credentials and clicks on a webi report within KM with Infoview structure -> report is executed and can be refreshed successfully.
    User forgets his pwd and the security team reset his pwd
    User logon to SAP EP with reset initial pwd and gets a prompt to enter new pwd -> new pwd chosen and logon successful -> clicks on a report within KM with Infoview structure -> report pops up but can not be refreshed as an error msg below pops up
    A database error occured.
    The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon). (WIS 10901)
    Temporary solution:
    Logon to Infoview directly and login with SAP account -> report executed and refreshed successfully -> Logout
    Then go back to EP to execute report and since then works fine but issue occurs again if pwd is changed and logon to Infoview directly process have to be done to move on.
    Has anybody had these issues or have an idea what config might be missing?
    Please note that SNC was not configured as we are not using AD for logon or report bursting for now. All docs read have specified that SNC is not required for my scenario.
    Also certificates have been established btw BW and EP and SSO works well with BEX queries deployed thru EP.
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Norita

    More info -
    If I clear the error msg and continue to click on refresh values in prompt screen multiple times then the bw account gets locked in SAP BW backend.
    Please note that the universe was created to use SSO authentication and no user credentials hardcoded.
    FQDN are also used for all the configs.
    Has anybody encountered these issues before? Please let me know if you have any ideas or pointers.
    Thanks,
    Norita

  • BO 4.0 : JCoException while scheduling the webi report

    Hi,
    We are in BO 4.2 patch 8.
    We have 35 webi reports. These report uses SAP BW as data source. We are using DF to fetch data from SAP BW.
    We have manually configured the RFC destination for JCO connection (as mentioned in SAP notes - 1638647).
    Reports are getting scheduled successfully. But sometimes some webi reports fails with the following error message.
    Database error: (CS) "Java Exception : java.lang.RuntimeException:com.sap.connectivity.cs.java.drivers.DBDError: [Data Federator Driver][Server] [Connector 'Sales_BO_New'] SAP NetWeaver BW has reported an exception: com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (112) RFC_ERROR_REQUEST_CANCELLED: connection with handle 3 closed
    after cancel (remote system is PBI|BILPBI)" . (IES 10901)
    This is in intermittent issue. If anybody faced this issue, then please let me know your feedback.

    Hi,
    Personally, I haven't seen this before. To recap:
    - Manual refresh work fine
    - scheduling works most of the time
    - but sometimes it fails with << SAP NetWeaver BW has reported an exception: com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (112) RFC_ERROR_REQUEST_CANCELLED >>
    You might want see if you can isolate a particular document causing the problem, or determine if it's related to using certain refresh parameters
    According to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/f6/daea401675752ae10000000a155106/content.htm
    it says Find out from the JAVA application or the JCo traces which JCo Server was cancelled and restart the server; in the J2EE Application Server context, JCo Servers are often started via the Service JCo RFC Provider
    but .. i don't know how helpful that is..
    Best of luck

  • Error when try to schedule a Webi Report

    Good day every one:
    Can anyone please help me to solve this problem??? the issue is this, I want to schedule a Webi report but when i clic on Schedule and go to Format and Destinations tab, i got this message:
    displayErrorMessage="VIEWER:VIEWER_ERR_DEFAULT (Error: INF )"; traceErrorMessage="\u003Cinput type="hidden" name="BENCHERROR" value="Error Number :  - Error Description : VIEWER:_VIEWER_ERR_DEFAULT"\u003E";

    Looking for an answer i found this:

    We are using:

    Regards

    I just found this
    I was able to fix the issue by replacing the webiviewer.properties file with the file from the WARFILES\WEBAPPS directory. The webiviewer.properties file looks like it was corrupt as there was only 1 line in the file. After replacing and restarting the servers there's no longer an error when selecting Formats & Destinations.
    I checked those webiviewer.properties and like you , one of them had only 1 line, about the language.
    So I replace the one from Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\WEB-INF\classes with the one in the folder Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\classes
    My guess is that this properties is corrupted because of the installation of other language. What should be done is updating the file with the new language parameters but what is done is a replace of the file.
    I foun that in this link

  • Launching a Bex web report in KM in a new window

    Hi All,
    I am trying to figure out how to configure KM so that it would launch a Bex web report in a new window
    instead of being displayed in the innerpage area.  The Bex web report is stored in a KM folder.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Mel Calucin
    Bentley Portal Architect

    Hi Mel,
    If you have already assigned the Bex report to a role, then you can open the  bex iview and edit the property "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
    If the report is still not created and is existing in the KM you can create a KM navigation iview or KM document iview and specify the document path where the iview is exisiting OR you can open the bex report, capture the URL of it and create a URL iview for the same... you might want to refer to this thread for more details.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/thread?threadID=1260067&tstart=0
    And when the iview is ready and the content is getting displayed accordingly, if you want to open the iview in a new window instead of the portal content area, you would have to follow the instructions given above ie to edit the property of iview "Launch in New Window" to Display in separate portal window
    Good Luck!

  • Schedule a webi report to email issue

    Hi,
    A webi report was scheduled to run and send exel file to email one time. The instance is in a status of "Running" for more than 24 hours. When checked the instance details, it said "waiting for scheduling to complete. Job ID: 15,786, name:[Report Name], kind:Webi in Pending state (FBE 60509) [0 recipients processed.]". After a day passed, the schedule failed. And in the Publication Admin Log, it said
    2011-10-17 16:55:22,173 INFO  [pool-4-thread-4] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_15786 - [Publication ID # 15786] - Running publication instance.
    2011-10-17 16:55:22,251 INFO  [pool-4-thread-4] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_15786 - [Publication ID # 15786] - The global delivery rule for this publication was met; publication processing will now begin.
    I don't know why it failed. Is there any option needed to be set such as timeout?
    All destinations have been set and enabled. Have restarted and reenabled could not help. A webi report run interactively fine.
    We are on version:
    BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1 SP4
    Windows Server 2008 R2
    SQL Server 2008 R2
    Thank you.

    Hi Ginelle,
    Most likely this problem would be caused by:
    1. Wrongly configured email destinations on the Destination Job Server, Webi Job Server and Publication Job Server - you can check in the CMC - Servers area.
    2. The source report - check it can be refreshed ok, it could be there are objects which Business Objects does not like. Test by removing fields and rescheduling to see if you can identify which field is causing problems.
    3. Also try resaving the source report under a different name and rebuild the publication with this report. Some older reports can become "corrupt", resaving\refreshing can help.
    4. Check to see if the source report has any recurrences set, it could be there is an issue with the Job Server waiting fopr a recurrence to run.
    I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
    Kind regards,
    John
