WebI 4.0 using BEx Query - #TOREFRESH when using input control

Once I refresh my webI report for certain month range and then I use input control for analysing my data within that month range. It always ask for refresh "#TOREFRESH".
The above happens also if I have lot of formula variables in my report then it always ask for refresh when I use input controls on different member.
Please let me know if this is a known issue.
I posted this in Ideas too - >  https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/9226?back=false
Thanks

#TOREFRESH normally indicates that the returned data have dependencies for which you need to manually refresh again to pull the correct data however this would incorrectly appear under some circumstances.
Please see [Using Functions, Formulas and Calculations in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP5/en/xi31_sp5_webi_ffc_en.pdf] for additional information.
If you are below SP3 FP3.7 we suggest to upgrade to that patch level or better to SP4 FP4.1 or SP5
Please note that Ideas is for new functionalities
Thanks

  • WebI Prompts using BEx Query Variables

    Hello,
    I have the following issues with WebI report selection input paramaters (prompts) that use BW BEx Query variables. Could anyone please assist?
    Issue 1:
    The WebI report has one mandatory and two optional input paramaters (all paramaters from BW BEx Query). When I execute the report via WebI rich client directly, enter the value for mandatory input parameter and leave blanks for both optional input parameters, the report ran OK and has no issue. However, when I ran it through CMC a strange thing happen: I could not select the value for mandatory input paramater as it requires to have values for both optional input paramaters first (which I wish to have them blank and optional). When I refersh values for the mandatory paramater, it says "List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:...(ie. the two optional parameters).
    Anyone has any idea - it seems like it is a CMC issue for the WebI...
    Issue 2:
    Take the same WebI report above, the issue here is the order sequence of the prompts (ie. the selection input parameters). How can we change/control the sequence of the prompts? Whatever sequence of the varaiables (input paramters) in BW BEx Query, the WebI ignores it. Please advise.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Andy

    I did not see separate thread for issue #1, therefore I'll us this thread.
    I am running into similar issue when I get an error message ''List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts: <Name of the prompt>".
    We are using BO V4, SP2, Patch 10 with SAP BW as DB via BEx queries.
    I opened support ticket for this issue since obviousely it's still an issue after applying patch 10.
    It's not an issue when 'Rich Internet Application' option is selected to view report in 'Reading' mode (via Launchpad Preferences then Web Inteligence; defautl value for viewing is 'Web').
    I have not tried to use Client tools but even if it works with Client tools - it is not a solution for us. Our company does not plan to install client tools on end user computers.
    Bigger issue us is that report scheduling invokes Web version (not Rich Internet Application). Therefore we cannot schedule report that is giving us problem described. I tried scheduling report from Launchpad and from CMC and both game me error highlighted.

  • Webi 4.0 with Bex Query

    Hi Experts,
    I am making webi report directly hitting bex query. I dont know much about bex may be you can help me understanding this, i have a Default Value (Global Filter date object) Recieved Date, which is also included in Free Characteristics of my bex query. Now while hitting this query Webi is showing three objects in universe outline panel for this Recieved Date , A dimension object Named Recieved Date and when you expand node of that Dimension it shows you another Recieved Date object but it is not a detail object it has a small up errow with it, then 3rd a Key detail objects.
    I am not getting why it shows us these 2 extra objects and which object needs to be dragged in to webi query
    Can some one  help me with this ?

    Hi Bilal,
    BW is an OLAP environment, the object you are talking about is an infoobject (characteristic).
    Now each characteristic comes with extra's, it not just a column in a table (consider it a dimension table in a data warehouse).
    For one the characteristic will have an (internal) key against which the actual values are set.
    Then there will be one or more text fields associated with the characteristic (short, medium, long),
    these will be available in one or more languages.
    One of these text fields will be the default to display and you can consider this as the meaningful or alternate key.
    When ever there is no masterdata (text) available in the language you make your request in, the key will be shown instead.
    So the default blue object is this either or result, the default text to display (or key if not available).
    The other ones are the text (irrespective of wether or not it holds data) and the key.
    You can use these if you specifically want the text or the key.
    So you can imagine there may be more available than the two you described for other characteristics.
    Hope this helps,
    Marianne

  • Webi report on OLAP Bex query -  Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

    Hello,
    We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
    Webi report on OLAP Bex query -  Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
    Any pointers how to do it please
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi,
    WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
    You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

  • Can i use any wireless printer when using air express

    can i use any wireless printer when using air express

    If you are looking for a new printer, any wireless model will work with the AirPort Express.
    But, since you indicate that you have an iPad, you would want to make sure that the printer you choose is AirPrint compatible. This way, you will be able to print from your iPad....if you need that function.
    See this Apple support document for info on AirPrint and compatible models.

  • Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

    Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces? The Nio reads hte guitar but GB doesn't....

    Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
    Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

  • Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

    having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

    Marco,
    If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • #Multivalue Error on Webi when Using BEx Query

    Hi All,
    I have created a Webi Report on top of SAP BW BEx Query. I have created a variable in Webi on top of a dimension. When I add that variable in the report block some of the Measures are showing as #Multivalue. I know we can get rid of this by creating a universe and then changing the properties of the measure to sum. However we do not plan to have a universe and would want to make the changes in the BEx query or in the Webi Report whereever applicable.
    Kindly suggest the solution at the earliest.
    Regards,
    James

    HI James,
    Creat Variable =
    =sum(Tonumber([Dimension]))
    use this variable in report , it will help you

  • Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

    Hi gurus!
    Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
    What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
    Thankful for advice
    Sari

    ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
    classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
    instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
    >
    but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
    it happen at translation time so will it create any
    type of burden for my code if i import multiple
    classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
    It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

  • ProcessdpCommandEx error when adding or removing object from WebI report (based on BEX query) query panel object list

    Hi,
    We have WebI reports build on BEX using BAPI connectivity. When we are trying to add a object in query panel in a existing report we are getting this ProcessdpCommandEx error. But error does not appear when we add at the end of the list of objects already added.
    Can you calrify whether this could be some setting issue or it is a known bug?
    Can you share SAP Note No in case it is a known bug?

    Hi Avijit,
    This error occurs in case of any failure in the connectivity. It is like the data providers are not getting processed.
    You have mentioned that the issue does not come with newly created reports
    Are you creating new reports on migrated universe or a newly created universe?
    If issue only comes with migrated universe, please check if the connection has been migrated properly and required middleware and database connectors are in place.
    If connections are in place, try importing and exporting the universe once and check.
    In case, new report works fine with migrated universe, then you can simply try to re-point the universe by editing the query and can run it again and check.
    Regards,
    Yuvraj

  • Using Bex Query with cell definition with WEBI

    Hi,
    Currently I am using a Bex query as a datasource for a webi, normally this works ok but I am having trouble with one particular query.
    This query has cell definitions defined in the query. When i import the query into WEBI I get an MDX error.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Flash

    Hi,
    We do not see all elements of the BW query in the universe, just those not using cell definitions.
    We are currently on Business objects XI 3.1
    Using BW 3.5
    And the query runs fine using RSRT, it does show some asterix for some of the values but this can be removed by filtering on currency type in BW report
    Thank You,

  • WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source

    Hi all,
    Has anyone managed to use the WebElements when creating a report on a BW source (BEx) query. I have used WebElements quite a lot on non-SAP sources and works like a charm. Now I would like to use it on a SAP environment, but the controls are not displaying, only the HTML text.
    Can anyone provide some insight to whether the WebElements are compatible on a SAP environment in Crystal or s there something special that needs to be done here.
    Thanks
    Jacques

    Dear Jamie & Jacques,
    Is there any news regarding this issue? I'm having the same issue here. I'm using BW datasource. My BOE, Crystal Report 2008, and Integration Kit are all on SP3 (with no FP applied yet).
    All the WebElements components are shown as HTML tag.
    But actually when i tried to remove the Datasource, the WebElements also don't show up. I've followed up all the instructions on the WebElements guide, and on the SDN link below.
    I added WECalculator and WEBuilder using formula syntax below to the report. But they only show up as HTML tag.
    Formula @calc (component WECalculator)
    WECalculator ("number", "0", "Integer", "Enter an Integer value.")
    Formula @builder (component WEBuilder)
    stringvar allelements:= {@calc};
    WEBuilder(allelements, 1)
    I've done everything as per the guide and SDN link below:
    browser interpretation
    [Interpreting WebElements in the browser;
    1) ensure that Can Grow is not checked on for the formulae that contain any webelements.
    done
    2) ensure that the formula in the designer is only 1 line in height...these 2 are required to make pass through html work in the viewers
    done, i insert the 2 formulas to report and it appears as 1 single line.
    3) the web server should be restarted after making the change to the web.xml file
    done
    if the above don't work please provide some more info such as
    a) which version of business objects enterprise you are using
    BOE, Crystal Report, and Integration Kit all on SP3. Below are the installation files i used (downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace).

  • 4.x: Document Link passing range parameter to a WebI rpt using BEx query

    I'm new to working with BEx queries, so I may use the wrong terminology.  I'm trying to create a document hyperlink from one WebI report to another.  Both are based on BEx queries, which I didn't create, nor do I have access to modify.  The BEx query for the target report has a parameter, Fiscal year/period, which is a range parameter.  The displayed value in a report or in pick lists is in the format "JUL 2010".  The key is in the format "K4/007/2010". 
    I have tried using the Document Link expert to configure passing the range parameter, but have been unsuccessful.  The typical result is an error message, ERR_WIS_30270, which is most likely the result of an incorrect format for passing the range.  I've not been able to locate adequate documentation that describes the syntax for passing a range value to a BEx parameter.  I've successfully created Document Links to reports using BEx queries that have a parameter that requires a single value, and I've done Document links in non-Bex reports in 3.1 without issues.
    Has anyone successfully passed a range value to a BEx paramter?   If so, what syntax did you use?
    The environment is BI 4.0, sp 2 (14.0.2.439)

    Marianne,
    Thanks for the heads up on the fixpack.  I tried looking at the note # you sent, but a search of SAP Notes says that the note has not been released.  However, reviewing the Fixed Issues in fixpack 6 shows the following item:
    ADAPT01580012
    Link to a WebIntelligence report using syntax OpenDocument fails when target document contains a prompt
    based on a BEx variable of type Interval. Error message is "An internal error occurred while calling
    'answerPromptEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)".
    Behavior is now correct and refresh operation takes into account interval answer passed in OpenDocument URL.
    Now we just need to upgrade to fp 2.6 to see if it resolves this issue.  I've also opened a ticket with support, so I'll see what they say.
