WebI aggregation on top of BW query

Hi,
I'm having problems with aggregated values shown on WebI when using percentage values.
As an example:
                                                                       Actual 3    Actual 2    %
                                                                      jan-09       jan-08       R3 - R2
Product type              Sales office                                feb-09       feb-08
VINO                         ALIM. BALEARS                            789          1822         -56
VINO                         ALIMENT. ANDALUCIA                       362          1000         -63
VINO                         ALIMENT. BARCELONA                       745           830          -10
(...extra rows suppressed...)
If I remove Sales office on report design, report shows this information:
                                                                Actual 3    Actual 2    %
                                                                jan-09       jan-08        R3 - R2
Product type                                             feb-09        feb-08
VINO                                                        90123       125316      -699
So, percentage aggregation is doing a summation instead of an average.
I can't change universe aggregation because we're using the same measure on the 3 columns (it's a calculation on BW).
And the three columns are values belonging to the same dimension (they are dimension values), so how could I use a new measure only for the third column?+
Any more workarounds?
Thanks and best regards,
David.

David,
My advise would be to not use the calculation for percentage defined within the BW query. The query in Webi is executed only once. If you remove an object from your report the BW query is not executed again, but Webi is just aggregating based on the setting of the object in the universe (in this case it summerizes the percentages).
It would be better to define a variable with the calculation of the percentage in Webi itself. Then no matter what objects you put in the report the variable is recalculated at any level.

Harry

Webi on top of Bex query, maximum of fields 50 limit

Hi there,
I'm creating the Webi Report on top the Bex Query that has 50 characteristics in the row area and around 10 characteristics in Free Characteristics area. (Bex query can't have more than 50 in the Row Area)
When I create the WEbi report, it limits the output to the same 50 characteristics, it means that even though I have 10 more characteristics available from the Free Characteristics Area and I can't add them to the Webi Report.
I'm new to Webi and I didn't know about this limitation of number of fields can be added. Is there a workaround for this case?
Is 50 fields really a limit for Webi Report or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks!

Hi,
Much like BEx, with WebI it is recommended to not have more than 50 dimensions selected into a single OLAP query, otherwise performance will degrade.
I have customer who try to put 80-200 objects into webi query panel and get angry when they can't...
However, this is a silly thing to do. For example, how many people can read tables with 80 columns?
It usually mean that the business requirements aren't being focused enough, and that reports are trying to answer too many flexible u2018ad hocu2019 purposes.
To conclude, it's an u201Cirrelevant testu201D because WebI isnu2019t a u2018data dumpu2019 tool. you should perhaps use a genuine ETL to extract records for hundreds of objects

WebIntelligence report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2)

Dear experts,
I'm working on webi report on top of bex Query in BI4.0 (SP2). I would like to know your opinions about some points I have noticed.
A - I need to drill throught a hierarchy which contains several millions of members.
Is there a possibility in my report drilling down to one member without selecting all members of the hierarchy in the query panel ?
B - I cannot put a dimension with hierarchy both in the result pane and in the filter pane, although it is possible for any other dimension without hierarchy.
Is there any special trick to achieve this or is a bug??
C - I cannot sort variables defined in my bex query, but they don't appear in the window to sort prompts.
Do you know how to solve this issue ?
D - I noticed all keys and description of dimensions appear with the same label "key" and "text". SO it is very confusing for the user to understand what key or text means (if a key if the customer key or the company code key).
Any idea to have a more explicit label for BW characteristics?
Regards.
CL.

Hi,
I do not have access to a BW system to test this, but i have something on three of your questions...
A) drilling without getting all the lower members. I would look to query drill, this means a drill action in the report will go to the database to fetch the level (and only for the selected member, a drill down).
The only thing I'm not sure about is if the BEx hierarchy is seen as drill hierarchy by that option too.
If you'd ask me it really should.
C) this is an old problem, but I know it is bugging more people, because the same is true for universe based prompts. They also cannot be 'arranged'. Since the Bex query is the 'universe', ordering that has been set in the 'universe' is the only chance you have.
Like with the universe you could use prefixes to separate them from the query defined prompts (based on an alphabetic sort of the prompt message). I'd say this is a good one for the idea place...
D) also an old (very old actually) problem. Some will want to keep the text short and simple. The prefixing will tell which key it is. Some will prefer unique names, so no prefix is needed. The same was true for universe designers. Now since there is no universe, if you do not agree with the 'designer' you're out of luck no way to change it.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

How come , if it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable for that Iobj .
Refer below blog provide details:

Prompt issue with WebI Report on top of Bex

Hello Experts,
I have WebI report on top of Bex. I have Material Parameter on WebI which has materal key and text. When I select Material, It gets only Mateial Name not the key. We have some users they want to see both text and key.
Any help would be highly appereicated.
Thanks,

HI,
in the universe you have a dimension objects (blue objects) showing the description and a detail objects (green objects) showing the key.

I currently use parameters, and they are passed from the form to the report. Report is then generated based on a function returning ‘strongly typed’ cursor. The ‘strongly typed’ cursor in my case returns a record consisting of an orderly collection of fields.
This collection of fields is returned by another function that relies on the IF … THEN logic.
However, the number of IF ... THEN statements is quite large (currently 64 covering all possible combinations of 6 parameters available in the form).
I would like to avoid the large number of IF … THEN statements, and hope that there is a way of passing a string to a query, where the Dynamic SQL would in Select close and Where close reflect parameters passed by the form.
In addition to this I would like to avoid creating and populating a table or a view dedicated to the report, because this may lead to a conflict in case of multiple users concurrently generating reports with different choice of parameters.

Can't run application via Web Start 7 if there is query string in href

Java Web Start 7 cannot run application if there is query string in href attribute in jnlp file.
For example:
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/" href="Test.jnlp?query_string">
</jnlp>
There are no any errors. Web Start just does not run application.
But this jnlp could be processed by Java Web Start 6 without any problems.
Is this a bug in Java Web Start 7?
Or using query string in href attribute is not correct by some reason?

I use following example to test this problem - http://www.mkyong.com/java/java-web-start-jnlp-tutorial-unofficial-guide
If you use default jnlp from this example - everything works ok.
But if add any query string to href attribute then Web Start 7 cannot start application.
For example:
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/" href="Test.jnlp?param=value">
</jnlp>
The problem is with Java Web Start 7 Update 7 (build 1.7.0_07-b11).
WebStart 6 can start application using this modified jnlp without any problems.

Inserting WEBI into Live Office with Bex query

I have created a WEBI connected directly to a Bex query in BI 4.0. When I refresh the WEBI, I am prompted with the Bex variable and the data is refreshed correctly. I added that WEBI to Live Office, but it does not prompt me with the Bex variable. I only get the data that was last saved in the WEBI. Is there anything special I have to do to get the Bex variable to prompt me in Live Office 4.0?

Hi,
Some additional info: It seems .unx is not fully supported with LiveOffice 4.0 - an enhancement has been registered on Ideas Place: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/3578
I have also seen it that WEBI on BICS never pulls the prompts (SAP Variables) through into Live Office. There is a documentation fix in process to explicitly mention this limitation.

IP - Aggregation Level not showing in Query Designer as infoprovider

Hi guys
I just started implementing Integragted Planning at a new client. I created an aggregation level to build my input ready query. However this aggregation level is not available as an inprovider in the Query Designer nor is it available under the infocube in RSA1 on which the aggregation has been defined.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Mayank
Good point. But I could not see the aggregation level whatsoever in RSA1. The aggregation level is consistent and activated but does not show in the query designer.
I was wondering if there is some configuration that I have to do to get the aggregation level available in the query desginer.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Webi error for master data attributes if universe is on top of BI query

Hi All,
We are using BO XI R2 SP5 integrated with SAP BI 7.0.
We have built a universe on top of a BI query and when we try to build a web intelligence report that includes master data attributes like Customer City,Customer Region etc BO throws the following error:
Error 1:
Database error: [SOFA Driver] : Error getting members for hierarchy (level=ZFI_I03/ZFI_I03_Q0003, member=[ZFI_I03___F172], opcode=[ZFI_I03___F172]) . System error in program CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA and form VALUEREAD-02- (see long text). Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
For a universe built on a different BI query with master data attributes mentioned above,a different error occuring.
Error 2:
Your Web Intelligence session has timed out. Log out and log in again to InfoView. (Error: WIJ 77778)
We have tried:
1) We have executed the function module BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_DIMENSIONS with necessary inputs query/cube and we got correct output, like members, optional properties, selected properties and restrictions.But, still our problem remains same.
2) Transaction u201CRSRTu201D and executed the query,transaction RSRV to check SID-tables and the related masterdata.
Above steps we performed in response to SAP tickets 541052 / 2009,541131 / 2009 based on logs generated,but still the error persists.
What is working:
If a universe is built on top af an infocube directly, then there is no problem with master data attributes in webi report.
Please let us know if you need more details to help us resolve this issue.

Hi Naresh,
based on the MDX you can identify that those are navigational attributes and thats why the issue is not happening when talking to the cube directly because when you connect to the cube directly the navigational attributes are not available.
Take a look at note : 996197
not sure if it will solve the problem because there are other notes when you search for the error message but this was most of the times the one that resolved the issue.
the issue is in the BAPI functions
