Web Reports Question

Hi all,
Does any one know where the .htm files are stored in application server. We can find the .gif, .css files in MIME repository but I cannot find where the .htm files are stored.
thanks
Sabrina

OK.
We have a web application that is mapped to the BW application server. When we open the web application, there are few static html pages, I am wondering where these are stored. Are they web templates itself, but I cannot find them(I know that we can create web template forms). I need to edit the content of these html pages, how can I? Please let me know.
http://bwreporting.bp.com is our site and I am sure bwreporting.bp.com is mapped to http://yourAppServer:yourPort
thanks
Sabrina.

BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

Hi Gurus,
Here is my issue.
I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
Two Columns
One Key Figure: Subtotal1
One Restricted Key Figure: Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
Two Rows Plant, Sales Organization
One Variable with Sales Organization.
When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
Thanks

WebI report - Report filters question

All,
please help me in understanding if it's possible to have a report filter containing all the possibile values for the dimension it refers to, so that changing the value in this filter, the query is refreshed and shows data according to the new selection.
E.g. In a WebI report I have a table with columns DEPARTMENT, SALES_VALUE and a prompt for "MONTH", so that data in the report are referred to a single month. If I insert the MONTH dimension as a report filter, the drop down list shows only the month selected in the prompt.
My question: is it possible having MONTH query filter drop down list containing all months (not only the month selected in the prompt), so that I can refresh data in the report changing selection in this list? I mean, In the moment I choose another MONTH from the drop down list associated to the report filter, the report should refresh data (re-launch queries) according to the new month.
Hope I've been understandable in some way...
Many thanks for your valuable help!

Hi,
It is not possible to have the data for all the months if you are having a prompt on month and selecting only 1 in it as an input.
If you want the use of report filter then you have to remove prompt from the report as it will always bring the data for
a single month. You can remove the prompt and can have the filter at the report level, so that when you refresh the query for
the 1st time then whole 12 month of data will be available and then you will be able to select the months from the
drop down and will be able to see the monthly data without need to refresh again.

Rohit

Question for webi reports

Hello expert,
         I have some questions as follows:
   (1) I want to design a webi report without drill down operation, how can I deactivate drill down feature?
   (2) I want to use a colunm to represent the number of rows by some group criteria, such as for year 1999, number of rows by the year is displayed, how do I formula this column for the number of rows?
   (3) I am not sure if I drill down on some block, drilldown operation will be effective in another block of the same report?
Many Thanks,

Howdy bo zhang,
1. Click the drill button up in the top right in the Tool bar when editing the report.
2. =Count([[Date]]; All) In ([[Year]])
3. in InfoView, click preferences in the top right. Expand the Web Intelligence section. There's a tick box for 'Synchronise drill on report blocks'
For number two, read up on 'input and output contexts' in the webi functions manual: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_webi_ffc_en.pdf

Question on sizing Webi reports

Is there a way to make a wwebi report fit the user's viewing window. There are so many different screen resolutions being used, that it's hard to get the report size correct for everyone.
My reports tables fit nicely on A3 paper size, and Adobe Reader nicely resizes to standard letter size paper for printing, this works great.
Can Webi reports be setup to be viewed so that the report fits inside the users viewing window, rregardless of size and screen resolution ?
Edited by: Warren Shellshear on Feb 9, 2009 5:46 PM

No. Your question is not obtuse at all.
I don't believe it's possible to avoid the scroll bars; at least I can't think of a way to do this without extensive customization.

Question if Webi reports need to be re-pointed to Universes

We are running XIR2 SP2 using a SQL 2005 database. Our Universes are connected using an ODBC connection. We have moved the database to a new SQL instance and have created a new OLE DB connection in designer. I am in the process of changing the Universe's connection in Universe Parameters, from the ODBC connection to use the OLE DB connection. This is the only change to the Universes'. Are there any reasons why the webi reports using these Universes need to re-pointed to the Universe in Query Properties?

Hi Michael,
If you have made any change in the universe connection and reexported back to the repository then you need not to repoint the report(preexisting one to the universe).
You have to just refresh the report to observe the change.
You can test this using this workflow;
Create a test universe with sql server 2000 ODBC connection , now using this create a webi report and in that use a function name connection().
It will show you the details of connection in the report.
Now go to universe and change the connection from ODBC to oledb.
Reexport the universe.
Open the report and refresh it , the data in connection() function will show oledb details which were earlier showing ODBC details.
So we dont have to repoint the reports to the universe.
I hope this helps.

Gaurav

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 ?

Ingo Hilgefort

Values not getting refreshed in web report.

Hello Friends,
Currently i am running an web report. The scenerio is i have check box with 5 options For Ex: IMS , IMR, IMN,IMM,IMP.
IMS is the combination of all divisions and IMR is the combination of only three divisions.
In BEx we runthe report with divisions . For ex : divisions are Ind1, ind2,ind3,ind4,ind 5.
Instead of displaying divisions in the select options like Ind1,ind2....etc., we have created a structure in the report
and using new selection we have restricted the divisions with IMS,IMN,etc.,
IMS->combination of all divisions. IMR is combination of ind1,ind2,ind3.
IMN... all are with single divisions
Now we have assigned the query in the data provider for select options in hte web report,
But when we select any options the values of the remaining queries are not getting refreshed.
If we use the divisons directly with out using the structures the values are getting refreshed.
Can any one give me the solutions for this?
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Mansi,
Check the Prompt properties in the Edit Query window of the webI. In the query filters section of window, click on the blue icon which says Prompt Properties. Deselect Keep Last values select and run the webI again.
If the solution is not related to your question, please provide more details.
Thanks,
Rajesh

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?

Passing hierachy node variable from BW to BO Webi Report in open doc link

Hello All,
We are working on BW-BO integration and creating Webi reports based on Bex queries.
The question is regarding passing of a hierachy node value from BW to BO through open doc link.
I see that when we pass hierarchy node value, we have to associate that with the corresponding infoobject technical name in the link but not sure in what format it has to be sent.
For example, if ARM is the node value and 0HIERNODE is the infoobject , how should we send this value to BO.
Please help.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Tangudu S

You cannot change anything here. You should really find out how the values are retrieved from the database
THere is another option:
1) Activate the tracing on your BOBJ server
Check the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes) for that:
Unix: Note 1235111
Windows: Note 1260004
2) Run your WebI report from the InfoView by choosing first the desired hierachy node value from the LOV of your prompt.
3) Extract the MDX statement from the log file. It should contain the value for the hierarchy node. Copy this to the URL
It is easier to find this out if you have access to a Crystal Reports Designer installation. Do you?

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..

To integrate a web report in a web application

hi,
i have created a web report using ReportBuilder (wizard).
i have saved that file as a jsp,
my question is can i integrate that web report in any web application ,if yes how? plz let me know.
thx
abdul.

Hi Abdul,
The answer is yes, you can integrate your report in any web application as any other normal JSP. You can package the JSP as part of a WAR and deploy it on an application server. The only requirements are:
reports_tld.jar must be available to the application. You can put in inside the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web application.
Reports Server must be available to the JSP. If you are using Oracle9iAS for deploying the JSP, the Reports server is automatically available. If you are using some other application server like WebLogic, you can use the J2EE Thin Client (http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/Tools/index.html)
Also see the following thread on this Forum for deployment instructions:

Providing un-secured access to a web report.

Hello Experts,
We have been sending out 'Load Status' emails on a daily basis for various BW loads. Recently we discontinued this process and set up a report based on one of the statistics cube. We got out the link for this web-report to all the users in our daily load status distribution list.
The problem now is that when you click on the link, it pops out a window asking for the log-on information to our production system. But it looks like a few of the users do not have access to the production system and are hence unable to access this web-report.
Is there any way to allow un-secured access to this particular web-report to all users i.e.without a screen asking for log-on information?Is it possible to set up a generic user id for this report that allows all the users to access this report without actually giving them access to our production system?
Thanks
Arvind

Arvind,
What is your BI system version ?
if it is 3.x - then the URL will have a link to your server followed by a Question mark "?" and then some parameters.
The value till the ? mark is the Web service for the same - you can make this Anonymous in SICF but then this would mean that all queries can be accessed through this URL ...
else create an RFC enabled function module based on RRW3_Query_View_data and then use this for your query and expose the same as a web service and make it anonymous ... or have a BSP page to do the same....

Objects used in a Webi Report

Hello Friends,
I need to identify all the Webi reports in BI 4.1 that use a particular object from the universe. I have never used RESTful Web Services SDK before, Does anyone have a sample code that I could use as a starting point to get this info?
Regards,
-CF

Hi Chris,
I guess you wont find someone posting a complete sample for your question.
The task itself is not that complex and can be achieved with the REST webservices.
Basically you need to use the webservice endpoints for the semantic layer and the web intelligence sdks - usually http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/sl/v1 and http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1
With the semantic layer you fetch the universes
     - <slURL>/universes
then the universe details with the outline
     - <slURL>/universes/5808
There you can identify the object and then use the webi sdk to fetch all documents
     - <webiURL>/documents?offset={offset}&limit={limit}
iterate through them and get the list of dataproviders
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders
then the dp details
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders/{dataProviderId}
There you go with all the information you need.
Hope this helps
Jan
