WEBI above universe - hierarchy restriction

Hello,
I read that the authorization concept in WEBI above universe works if we build a universe above a query and we use authorization variable. But what is the case for restriction by a hierarchy? For this restriction in the Query designer there is no need for authorization variable. Is it also possible in the WEBI?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
are you referring to a hierarchy node authorization ? so that should work via the query automatically as well.

WRT54G2 and WRT54G locks-up (freezes) when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions

I am convinced that a few Linksys routers such as WRT54G2 and WRT54G have a major issue when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy). After a few hours of internet access by 15 wired users the Linksys locks-up and blocks all internet web access. The only solution is to restart the power on the router.
We are currently using a Linksys WRT54G2 v1 (firmware 1.0.04). We upgraded the WRT54G2 v1 firmware to the latest 1.0.04 version which did not resolve the issue. NOTE: We were previosuly using a a Linksys WRT54G v1.1 (firmware 4.21.1) until the power supply blew a week after we started blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy).
Basically, we have a T1 internet connection and a hub connected to the Linksys router. We are trying to block several web sites such as facebook, myspace, etc. for 15 wired users. We do not use wireless connections.
This is the 2nd time it happened with 2 different models.
Please help ASAP.
Thank you,
Lance
(Mod note: Edited post. Some parts off topic.. Thanks!)

Also, you have already upgrade/re-flash the firmware of your Linksys Router you need to reset and reconfigure your router from scratch. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Poor performance with WebI and BW hierarchy drill-down...

Hi
We are currently implementing a large HR solution with BW as backend
and WebI and Xcelcius as frontend. As part of this we are experiencing
very poor performance when doing drill-down in WebI on a BW hierarchy.
In general we are experiencing ok performance during selection of data
and traditional WebI filtering - however when using the BW hierarchy
for navigation within WebI, response times are significantly increasing.
The general solution setup are as follows:
1) Business Content version of the personnel administration
infoprovider - 0PA_C01. The Infoprovider contains 30.000 records
2) Multiprovider to act as semantic Data Mart layer in BW.
3) Bex Query to act as Data Mart Query and metadata exchange for BOE.
All key figure restrictions and calculations are done in this Data Mart
Query.
4) Traditionel BO OLAP universe 1:1 mapped to Bex Data Mart query. No
calculations etc. are done in the universe.
5) WebI report with limited objects included in the WebI query.
As we are aware that performance is an very subjective issues we have
created several case scenarios with different dataset sizes, various
filter criteria's and modeling techniques in BW.
Furthermore we have tried to apply various traditional BW performance
tuning techniques including aggregates, physical partitioning and pre-
calculation - all without any luck (pre-calculation doesn't seem to
work at all as WebI apparently isn't using the BW OLAP cache).
In general the best result we can get is with a completely stripped WebI report without any variables etc.
and a total dataset of 1000 records transferred to WebI. Even in this scenario we can't get
each navigational step (when using drill-down on Organizational Unit
hierarchy - 0ORGUNIT) to perform faster than minimum 15-20 seconds per.
navigational step.
That is each navigational step takes 15-20 seconds
with only 1000 records in the WebI cache when using drill-down on org.
unit hierachy !!.
Running the same Bex query from Bex Analyzer with a full dataset of
30.000 records on lowest level of detail returns a threshold of 1-2
seconds pr. navigational step thus eliminating that this should be a BW
modeling issue.
As our productive scenario obviously involves a far larger dataset as
well as separate data from CATS and PT infoproviders we are very
worried if we will ever be able to utilize hierarchy drill-down from
WebI ?.
The question is as such if there are any known performance issues
related to the use of BW hierarchy drill-down from WebI and if so are
there any ways to get around them ?.
As an alternative we are currently considering changing our reporting
strategy by creating several higher aggregated reports to avoid
hierarchy navigation at all. However we still need to support specific
division and their need to navigate the WebI dataset without
limitations which makes this issue critical.
Hope that you are able to help.
Thanks in advance
/Frank

Hi Henry, thank you for your suggestions although i´m not agree with you that 20 seconds is pretty good for that navigation step. The same query executed with BEx Analyzer takes only 1-2 seconds to do the drill down.
Actions
suppress unassigned nodes in RSH1: Magic!! This was the main problem!!
tick use structure elements in RSRT: Done it.
enable query stripping in WebI: Done it.
upgrade your BW to SP09: Has the SP09 some inprovements in relation to this point ?
use more runtime query filters. : Not possible. Very simple query.
Others:
RSRT combination H-1-3-3-1 (Expand nodes/Permanent Cache BLOB)
Uncheck prelimirary Hierarchy presentation in Query. only selected.
Check "Use query drill" in webi properties.
Sorry for this mixed message but when i was answering i tryied what you suggest in relation with supress unassigned nodes and it works perfectly. This is what is cusing the bottleneck!! incredible...
Thanks a lot

Olap universe lov restriction on detail object key

Hi,
I created a restriction on dimension lov in SAP olap universe using 0PLANT dimension on Orders keyfigure as below
<EXPRESSION>(@Select(Key Figures\Orders),[0PLANT].[1000])</EXPRESSION>
this syntax works but webi results are not matching with BEx.
Values of BEx RKF and formula object (
=[Orders] Where([L01 Plant] = "1000")
)created in webi are matching.
I am trying to create restriction on detail key object, like
<EXPRESSION>(@Select(Key Figures\Orders),[0PLANT].[LEVEL01].[[20PLANT]].[Value].[1000])</EXPRESSION>
above measure is giving error when i run the webi query.
here both L01 Plant and L01 Plant Key are having same lov as 1000,but i wanted check exact values with detail key syntax.
Can anyone please tell me the syntax for using detail objects keys for restriction in Select Clause.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi,
why are you not creating this as a restricted key figure in the underlying BEx Query ?

Hierarchy restriction in a query

Hi,
I have some hierarchies defined on an object.
Lets say i have two hierarchies on an object day
first_Hier : day->week
Second_hier : day->month->quarter->year.
Now in the query i have selected first_hier for the object day.
Now the problem is when the user executes the query in Bex analyzer.
The user can right click on the characteristic, here in our case say day, go to properties, goto hierarchies tab.
Can choose the object day and now he can see and select any hierarchy that is defined on the object.
But that should not happen.He should be able to select first_hier.
Is there any way by which we can restrict the user from seeing and selecting all hierarchies defined on the object?
Because if there are any keyfigure say for forecast
and we want the users to see the forcast Keyfigures only for the next week but not for the next month,quarter and year.
But now though we have taken only first_hier
at run time they can select the second_hier and see the values for the year, quarter and month...
Pls share your thought to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Raghu

Hi Amar,
Thanks for the reply.
I feel you didn't understood what i am trying to explain.
It is not the issue with hierarchy loads.
Whenever the Hierarchies fail while saving
What do you by the above statment?
some times the error shows " The heirarchy already saved "
What do you mean by this again.
Seems you are speeking some thing about hierarchy loading...
There are no issues with hierarchy loads. Every thing is sucessful.
The note speeks about :
Executing the report rrincltab_rebuild directly or activating the hierarchies, Leads to a system dump with sapsql_where_for_all_mismatch.
But here i am not talking about the report rrincltab_rebuild

Webi and BW Hierarchy-Promts Error WIS 10901

Hi together,
I'm using Webi in Combination with a SAP BW Query. BO is 3.1 with FP 2.9, on SAP-site it's SP07.
I've got an infoobject with a hierarchy. In the Query I've got a hierarchy-variable on this hierarchy.
The variable is optional.
Using Bex-Analyzer I can use the variable to select nodes from the hierarchy and it works fine.
I've got a universe on the Query and want to create a Webi on this universe.
When prompting the variable in webi and trying to refresh the LOV I get an Error WIS 10901.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Kind regards!
Lars

HI,
yes there's a keyfigure in this report.
The complete message is: A database error occured. The database error text is: .(WIS 10901).
Kind regards

WebI performance - Universe built on BEx against an Info Cube.....

Hi,
I am using SAP BI for some time now. I know after the introduction of BIA (BI Accelerator) the performance of any query has increased atleast 90% from what it used to be. The OLAP performance does not change, but the data retrival (DB Read) has almost negligible.
My question is for some one who is using WebI on top of an Info Cube and on top of a BEx Query.
The performance will be almost comparable of a Web I created on top of a BEx query, because it will still use BIA.
The performance of a Web I document will not be anywhere close to the above when the universe is created on top of an Info Cube, because it cannot use BIA.
Can anyone validate the statement?
Thanks,
Alex.

Ingo,
As mentioned earlier, I too am grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge and insight on the SAP BusinessObjects product.
As a point of order, I was wondering if I could stick my neck out a moment. I notice that your username is marked as a mentor and SAP Employee, so perhaps you can lend a hand here. It seems that "Alex Arthur Sam", in another posting asked a question, then stated he had "found answer.", and after several postings going back to over a year ago, he has not responded. Is there some type of sanction we, as participants, can appeal to so that they can either gently ask Sam to respond or limit his access to the forum as a participant for a period? I know I don't have a dog in this fight, but some day in the future I may be facing a similar situation and am wondering what the SAP Community Network moderator's stance is. Believe it or not, I have worked with clients who, though don't question my abilities, perform their own research on forums such as this to verify when I say such-and-such cannot be done. When they see that others have "achieved the impossible" they expect me to "get to it likewise". Forums seems to be either a boon or rue, but with a moderator's help from time to time the forum can be more bearable otherwise.
Thanks for giving a listen and I (and I'm sure others) await your response.

Is it possible to migrate Universe with restrictions

There are 2 Deployment:
DEV:6400(user A,B) and PROD:6400(user X,Y)
Universe U is created in DEV has restrictions applied to it for its users such that user A has connection C1 and user B has connection C2.
Save and migrate the universe U to PROD:6400
Requirement is to migrate the Universe in such a way that for User X the connection should be updated as C1 and for user Y connection should be C2. Also the migration should happen correctly.

Hi All,
Iu2019d like to ask your help concerning an issue that Iu2019m charge of resolving. It's concerning the migration of universe overload from a source to a destination. Two unviverse restrictions are applied on two groups in the source: Rest1->Group1, Rest2->Group2.
These are the steps:
1-     In srource CMC create 2 groups: Group1 and Group2
2-     In Designer apply two row restrictions Rest1 applied on Group1 and Rest2 applied on Group2 (I used eFashion universe)
3-     Export the groups and eFashion universe to destination CMS using Import Wizard (keep the universe overload)
4-     In the destination CMS, Create a new user User1 and add it to the newly imported Group1 AND Group2
5-     In the destination system, Log in InfoView using User1
6-     Create a new Webi doc using eFashion universe
7-     You get this error :
User rigths not found: See your BusinessObjects administrator (Error WIS 00502).
does anyone knwo why the user rights cannot be found?
Thanks in advance,

WebI issue with hierarchy display and aggregation

Trying to wrangle what looks like a defect in WebI's handling of hierarchy display and aggregation. We just completed an update cycle and are running BOBJ 4.1 SP4.
The hierarchy is a standard FM Commitment Item hierarchy in which both the nodes and leaves are Commitment Items (i.e. it uses InfoObject nodes, not text nodes). An example of one of these nodes looks like this in BW:
Cmmt_Item A - Node
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf
Let's pretend Commitment Item A has $50 posted to it, B has $20 and C has $30. Analysis for OLAP handles this by adding a virtual leaf line to distinguish postings that are on the parent node like so:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Leaf    $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
So you see both the total for the node ($100) and a line for each Commitment Items with KFs posted to them. Our users like this. They can easily see the aggregation and the breakdown.
WebI, on the other hand, will display it like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
It doesn't create a separate line for the value of the parent node, but it does add it's value into the aggregate. Twice. Modifying the table with the 'avoid duplicate row aggregation' checkbox yields output like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
Cmmt_Item A - Node        $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
We're about halfway there. While the top row now shows the correct aggregation and it creates a new line to show the distinct amount on the parent node, that new line appears on the same level as the parent. It's no longer clear that there's an aggregate and a breakdown. And attempting to expand or contract a node will now crash the report with one of those 'Error 16' messages.
Has anyone encountered this issue with hierarchies in WebI? This report was built from scratch in 4.1, so I'm not sure if this affects older versions or not. Or if it would affect any hierarchy that uses InfoObject nodes instead of text nodes.

Without a fix, the simplest workaround I can think of would be to restructure the hierarchy. It can't use postable nodes, so Cmmt_Item A - Node from my example would need to be converted into a text node and the postable characteristic added as a child on the same level as the B and C leaves.
This looks like it would affect anyone using hierarchies with postable nodes in a WebI report.
Another oddity in WebI's behavior here - even though the postable nodes show incorrect sums the sum at the root node is correct. So extending my examples from the original post:
Root Node                    $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30

Hierarchy Restrictions as Per Query

Hi ,
We have one query that is using GL Account InfoObject. We are displaying GL account as Hierarchy in Bex Output. There are 5 hierarchies in BW for GL Account Info Object.
I created one Variable to select hierarchy while running the query. When users select this variable it displays all 5 hierarchies available for GL Account InfoObject. But, for Balance sheet query, only 3 hierarchies are relevant and users only want to see those 3 hierarchies. Rest 2 hierarchies are relevant for Profit and loss queries. Same user when run P/L query he should only see those 2 hierarchies.
So in nutshell, users only want to see relevant hierarchies as per queries. Same user will run these reports, so we cannot restrict hierarchies for users by authorizations.
Is there any way to do this?
Please help me.
Regards
Aman

Hi Amandeep,
Please check the following option.
I am looking this option in 7.3 and not sure whether this is available in lower options.
SPRO -> SAP Netweaver -> Business Warehouse -> Enhancements -> Restricting the value help in the variables screen.
Once you implement this BADI,
To restrict input help for flat object lists using hierarchies, use method Get_Restriction_Node.
Method GET_RESTRICTION_NODE
I_VNAM Variable
I_IOBJNM InfoObject
I_T_VAR_RANGAE Table of entries on the variable screen
I_T_COMPID Table of participating queries
C_T_HIERARCHY Table of possible hierarchies
C_T_NODE Table with node restrictions

Migrate Webi Report / Universe from Dev to production

Hello,
there are lot of possibilities to migrate a Webi report or a universe from Development server to Production server. my question for the experts is what is best practice scenario to do that. What should i take in consideration.
if i rename my Production universe, place it in an other Path and base my migration on the option "compare name and Path" of the universes. would it migrate ? What about the Connection ?
My Target when migrating Universes. Is only to migrate the universe without connections
But when migrating Webi Reports is to migrate only the reports without universes or connections. But at the same time be sure that the Report is adressed to the right universe in the Destination System.
Is that realistic .. Thanx ..

Prerequest:
You should have Remote access to both the server the BO is installed
Approach1:
Login to source server
create a folder with the name temp.biar in the desktop of server 1
Go to import wizard of server 1
select server 1 as source and temp.biar file as a destination and import all that required to biar file
from server 1 connect to server 2 and place this biar file in some shared folder
connect to server2
open the shared folder and copy that biar file and place it in the desktop of server2
Go to import wizard of server 2
select the temp.biar file from desktop of server 2 and destination as server 2
and complete the process
Note: as we are doing this in remote, there will be lot of issues while connection to path which sometimes even the erro r message will mislead us....
Approach2:
dont create any biar file
Login to server 2
Go to import wizard
select server 1 as source and server 2 as destination and move directly from server to server
Approach2 is not preffered if server 2 is production serve....
this may help
Thanks,

Hierarchy restriction

Dear All,
I am syncing the query between two system.
In the query there is a restriction on hierarchy on particular node,so
I am finding very difficulty to find the ame node in the other system,
Is there any easy way to do it.
Please help.
Thanks,
Saveen Kumar

if you know node description then you can find tech name of node from amster data table and then use same in H table of master data to find your node. level there will give you level id i.e. hierarchy level id for your node.
Hope this helps.

WEBI Error " Universe not found"

When refreshing a webi report from infoview on QA client I get the following error; Universe not found, see your business objects administrator (Error: WIS 00501).
Anybody with a suggestion please help

Hi,
When using the migration wizard, you may experience this error when trying to run a Web Intelligence report.
u201CUniverse not found (Error WIS 00501)u201D
One quick solution that seems to work for me is that you need to:
1. close the u201CUniverse not found (error WIS 00501)u201D error message
2. Save the webi report
3. close the browser
4. Re-open the report and try again
Also try changing the user preferences and check u201Cno default universeu201D and that may allow the report to work.
