WebI performance on Bex query

Hi All,
I have gone thru most of the earlier treads on topics of improving WebI performance.
But I was not able to find  solution hence posting another tread.
I have a Bex query built on a Multi provider with
- 12 characteristics (1 in row remaining as free char).
- 12 Key figure mainly dealing with 1 original KF and other as restricted with different time period like YTD.
in WebI query panel I am using all the 12 char and 12 KF, but not used as default view in the Webi document.
The 1 char in the row is a profit center with hierarchy enabled.
When I run the report in bex the output comes in less than 10 secs
but when I run the output in WebI the output takes more than 8-9 minutes and sometimes dumps out.
Now since we comparing apples to apples between Bex and WebI .. please provide me some solution/suggestion for how to improve the performance of my WebI report.
Note: When I remove Sold-to and Material from the webI query panel the report takes arnd 4-5 minutes but we need these 2 in the webi report for sure.
Thanks for you input.

Hi Ritesh,

>> Because you put all 12 characteristics and all 12 keyfigures into the result objects panel, Web Intelligence is asking for all data for all elements and therefore you see the difference in the performance.
Now since we comparing apples to apples between Bex and WebI .. please provide me some solution/suggestion for how to improve the performance of my WebI report.
>> actually you are not comparing Apples and Apples. Web Intelligence does not have - prior to Service Pack 3 release XI 3.1 - a concept of free characteristics.
Note: When I remove Sold-to and Material from the webI query panel the report takes arnd 4-5 minutes but we need these 2 in the webi report for sure.

    Hi Mohit Gupta,
    Degrade the java version to java 7 update 45 and also degrade the java security level to low from medium. Also delete the java temporary files and also clear your IE browser cache as well.

  • Created Webi report using BEx Query.

  • Webi report on Bex Query takes very long to refresh.

    Hi All,
    I have a report in webi on bex query which takes forever to give me data which is only 1000 rows. In our Development environment its completely fine but in our UAT environment its extremely slow. i can not push it to production until i have same performance as development environment. Can someone help to point me in the right direction? Have tried to run that Bex directly against BW and its fine takes a few secs. But in webi takes almost 10 mins. Thank you.

    A) Please, state exact version and patch level of involved SAP BusObjects system as well as SAP BW system. There have been many improvements with respect to perfromance.
    B) Are you using BICS for Webi (recommended) to connect directly to SAP BEx query or the old and slow OLAP UNV approach?
    C) Are you using the same navigation state in Webi as in BEx Analyzer or are there more dimensions in the Webi query panel than shown in BEx Analyzer?

  • Issue with webi report on BEx query

    Hi,
    I have created a universe on top of Bex query.  There is no issue in creating and exporting the universe.  But when I try to create a webi report out that BEx query, I am not able to see the values.  Say if I have a column called "Company"  I am getting the value as "All Company" and so on.  What will be the issue?
    But when a report is generated out of BEx analyser they are able to see the values properly.
    Same user credentials are used in both the places (Importing the query into universe, Connecting to BEx Analyser) .
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subbu S

    Hi Subbu,
    the universe will generate a L00 item and a L01 item. The L00 item shows the All member of the characteristic in the case of a flat list and the Top level nodes from a hierarchy. the L01 item should give you what you looking for.

  • #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

  • 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.

  • GetCellData error in WebI to SAP BEx Query

    Hi all,
    We have  multicube with a BeX query and and universe. We have created roles with authorizations and restrict users on Retun Line and Business Unit. We have created the authorization variables in the BeX query on Return Line and on Business Unit.
    When we create a query only using Return Line, the authorization works and returns the correct result. When we use only Business Unit we got no results which is incorrect, but when we use a query in Webi with both Return Line and Business Unit we get the following error:
    "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)"
    Any ideas where the issue can be? We have double checked the authorizations in BW and they seem fine. We have also assigned ALL BU's on Business Unit in so not to restrict anything.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jacques

    Hi Ingo,
    We are still having issues with the authorizations. I think this is where the root of all evil is...
    My account has SAP_ALL so I can run eveything just fine.
    An account has been created to test against... XUSER. This user belongs to roles, ZCBW_BARTN_100 to restrict data on the Return, ZCBW_BUPC_B00000 to restrict data in Business Unit and Profit Centre, and a 3rd role ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER that is used for general authorisations for the user - I think.
    When the report is refreshed an error is raised: Failed to retrieve data form the database.... Database Error:'BAPI error #: 0. Unknown error when executing MDX.' When I remove ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER from XUSER, Crystal 2008 raises and error in the line of "XUSER has no RFC authorization for function group SYST. So this is leading me to think the issue is in the setup of this ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER role and certain access/autthorization has been removed preventing the user from executing the MDX via BOBJ correctly.
    When one has a user account, what is the minimum authorization needed in a role to be able to execute queries from BOBJ using the MDX drivers? I think this may resolve the issue as the guys here have really locked down on a lot of stuff.
    Thanks

    Hi Dona,
    You can find out by looking up the query in the metedata repository (RSORMDR) or by just pulling and collecting it in the transport connection.

  • 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.

  • MDX Error in WebI while running Bex Query

    Dear Experts,
    In my System BO XI R3.1 Enterprise and Integration kit For SAP has installed.
    While creating query with Efashion and MS Acess files query is running fine.
    But in case of BI queries(InfoCube or BEx Query) it is giving "Select Dimension 1 CrossJoin Dimension2...."Error(10901).
    Test Connection of BI (The server is responding)is working fine.
    How to solve the issue?
    Thanks in Advance
    Venkat P

    Hi Venkat,
    Obviously there is something wrong with your query.
    What happens if you parse the MDX using the BW transaction MDXTEST  - does it work ok?
    You need to try and identify at what point the query is failing, i.e. is it caused at the BW layer or is it a problem at the XI3.1 application layer...?
    I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
    Kind regards,
    John

  • How to set default Web Template for BEx Query iViews in Portal?

    Hi,
    1) In SPRO you can set the Standard Web Template used, e.g. ZANALYSIS_PATTERN1.
    2) I published a query to Portal and when it runs within Portal, I want it to use a different web template, say ZANALYSIS_PATTERN2.
    I don't want to change the BEx Web Application Query String property for each iView to hardcode the template e.g. to "QUERY=TestQuery1&TEMPLATE=ZANALYSIS_PATTERN2"
    I only want the query name in the iView
    Can I set this somewhere in Portal?  I tried changing the standard "BEx Web Analyzer" iView as mentioned in
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/33/39fa40ee14f26fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm (BEx Web Application or Query as iView in the Portal)
    but it still seems to take the template from SPRO even after restarting J2EE

    Hi,
    I don't think anyone is holding back knowledge, I think it's sometimes difficult to filter out "good" questions as opposed to "bad" questions...
    In any case, I don't think it's possible to have different default templates, eg one for the portal and one for the "rest". I'm afraid you'll have to either change each one on the portal or use one for all.
    Cheers,
    Dion

    (I just published this question in Portal forum but I think it belongs here instead since it is BI Portal - apologies for the double-post..)

    D Nore did you found the way to do it ?
    I still have the issue, whatever the place where I force the template, the queries on the portal does not use my specific template.
    I tried :
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bexwebanalyzer
    (this one was working before upgrade to netweaver stack 17).
    as well as
    pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/sap_bw_report_iview
    and
    pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/sap_bi7x_report_iview
    none works !

  • Changes made in Bex query not refelecting in Webi reports BO 4.0

    Hello Every One,
    We have made changes in BeX query and these changes are not getting reflected in webi reports.
    - We try to edit the connections.
    - Recreated the new connections and point it the webi report.
    We are using BO4.0 patch 2.9.
    DO we have to made any setting in BICS or in CMC or there are any parameter need to tkae care while creating the OLAP connections. we are using SSO.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    You shouldn't have to do a "change source" at data provider level, but confirming the object mappings again by repointing webi to the bex query should help.
    As i'm sure you know, we are delivering many corrections in this area, for example:
    If this concerns a Hierarchy change see ADAPT01607814   (P2.11)
    If it concerns change to prompt variables see ADAPT01609491   (P2.12)
    Here's the link to the readme for Patch2.12 (out today) https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001362992011E
    Out of interest, what change did you make in the bex query specifically ?
