Webi Report Output using dynamic Filter

Suppose my report output contains doc. number & document date which shows data of one year which filter is applied on global level means at query filters level.
Now I want to show output of only last 3 months from current date(report run date) on the basis of document date.
So how to proceed further in such scenario.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks
Pradip

You can filter it on the report level or the block level. Highlight either one and then add the filter (make sure the filter window is open).

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

Controlling web report output

Hi, I would like to find out how to control the web report output generated by the server. Any help and ideas would be most welcomed.
I'm trying to get rid of the extra pair of <html> </html> tags generated by the report server. Below is an example of the html output generated by the server
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HW/YX+JyF1XNS6sQmfjO3063/39488071.htm">
</head>
</html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
</html>
What I want is
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HW/YX+JyF1XNS6sQmfjO3063/39488071.htm">
</head>
</html>
Apart from manually removing the tag myself, I can't find any documentation on how to do that. Is that even possible? I also notice that if I try to use paginated html reports builder, it doesn't give me the extra pair of <html> tags.
Thanks,
genie

Hi Genie,
Currentlty it is not possible. This is something that will be possible in one of the upcoming releases / patches of Oracle Reports.
However, this extra pair <html> tags will appear ONLY when you send the output directly to the browser, ie, when you use destype=cache in your command. If you send the output to a file, ie, destype=file, there will be no extra <html> tags. When you generate a file from Builder, it is equivalent to destype=file, that is why you do not see these tags in the output file.
The reason for having these extra <html> tags is: when you send the output to browser, the browser needs a BASE url, ie, a base path where the browser will look for any images etc. This BASE url is not part of the HTML output, but is written by Oracle Reports to tell the browser where the associated images etc are located.

Hello Gokul,
first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.

Output mismatch between BEx query output and WebI Report output

Hi All,
I have a BEx query in which there are only characteristics placed in rows.
There are combinations of the values of the characteristics giving different records in the query output.
Date is one of the characterisctics in the query output.
There is an output mismatch between the query output and the WebI report output in the following case:
When there are 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values, there are additional entries(rows) in the WebI report, giving repeating or wrong entries in the Date field. This is incorrect data.
Is this because of the 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values of the Characteristics or is there any other reason?
How do I fix this?
Please helo me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi B

Hi Rajesh,
I need to verify the WebI report output for records with # and 'Not assigned' values for the cHracteristics in the report.
So I cannot check the WebI report by hiding the # or Not assigned values.
The problem is that in the Query output the records are like these shown below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)             No value
Where as the WebI report output is as below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)            Date1
As shown here, there are wrong/repeating entries for the Date field in the WebI report output.
Please check this and let me know what could be the issue and how do I fix it.
Thanks and Regards,

Web report - return drilldown state & filter values using Javasript

I am customising a BW web report using Javascript.
Can anyone tell me how I can read whether a particular characteristic is drilled down and the filter values applied using Javascript?
thanks,
Hans

Hi,
for the drilldown state use:
SAPBWGetDataProviderDimensions
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/af/00453c3ff4110ee10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
for example:
var dim = SAPBWGetDataProviderDimensions("DATAPROVIDER_1");
if (dim != null){
for(m=0;m<dim.length;m++){
    if (dim[m][4]=='X')
           alert(dim[m][0] + ' is in Columns');
    elseif (dim[m][4]=='Y')
           alert(dim[m][0] + ' is in Rows');
As for the applied filters: You need to use the web item filter with generate_caption= and only_values=X inside a <span>-tag with an id. then use document.getElementById('YourId').innerHTML to get the applied filters.

Hide/Unhide Columns in WEBI Report output

We have a WEBI report which has 2 columns/measures to display the cost in EUR and USD. User would like to have the flexibility to filter the column so as to display USD or EUR cost column. Is it possible to hide/unhide column in WEBI. Can we have a input control on multiple measures so that user can dynamically select which measures they want to see on report.
Its possible in BEx Analyser using filter option on key figure. Is simillar functionality available in WEBI? We're on BO 3.1 XI. Is thre any other way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Milind

hi,
i think it is not possible to hide a column based on condition. but in webi 4.0 u have an option using which, u can hide/ show a table based on the user selection. in ur scenario, create two tables, one with value in USD and other in EU, super impose the table. then right onthe table and select "Format cell". in that u ll have a option to hide the table based on condition. select that and apply the condition.
see the follwoing url for more info : http://bihappyblog.com/2011/11/05/dynamic-visibility-in-webi/
thank u,

Error while running Webi report that uses Custom Dimension object(SAP BW)

Hi,
I have a universe that is based on SAP BW.I have created a custom dimension object that displays the maximum date.
The object syntax is
<expression>Max(@Select(CPS Online\Calendar day))</expression>
The object parses successfully.
The object 'Calendar Day ' is a defaultobject created during universe creation from the BW query.It is defined as [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
I tried to create a Webi report using this object and a measure .On running the query it throws the following error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22] AS ' Max{[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]} ' SELECT { [Measures].[EBC10672-C0DA-4998-93,80,D3,FF,C3,E8,A2,22], [Measures].[4JCOSFOKKCUR3RMBPNROFKQQD] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY [0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0CALDAY].[20CALDAY] ON ROWS FROM [ZCCPSONL/ZCPSONLINE] failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with (. (WIS 10901)
I have tried every possible syntax I could think of but I keep getting this error each time.I have set the object type to Number (even though it is actually a Date), I have tried writing the MDX inside the Max instead of the @select , but nothing seems to work.Could anyone please let me know why this error is occuring?Is there anything wrong with the syntax or is there any setting in Webi needed before a custom dimension object can be used on it.

Can you see data for Custom object @ BEx level??
YES, then just try to re-create the same variable and Save the BW query.
Now do View - refresh Strusture @ Universe. And you can see Filter for the same, just Parse it, just whether it is OK or not.
OK -- then Export the Universe and create WebI reports, this will come as Prompt.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank You!!

Selection Variables display in report output using BEX ANALYSER 7.0

HI All,
I am using BEX Analyzer 7.0 , I want to display the Variables selected in the selection screen, to be printed in the
Report Output.when i execute the same query in 3.5 , i am getting all hard coded and selected variable values in report output.
But in 7.0 analyzer i am not getting any filter values.can i know the reason for this ? do i need to do any settings ? how to display all filter values in report output.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Joseph,
I feel there might be personalization of variables.
After executing the query click on "Change Variable Values" which is on Bex Tool Bar and there click on personaliztion icon and check if any personalizations are there.

Access table directly from database in BO 4.0 WebI Report without using Universe

Can i use the table avilable in database directly to make BO 4.0 WebI Report without create any universe.
I realy appeiciate your help.
Thank you in advance.

You need to create a universe for Relational SQL databases. Universe is a must. The reason you create universe is for the end users. WebI is designed for end users to create their own reports. It is a self service reporting tool. In order to do that, you need universe which allows users to query database using SQL without knowing SQL language.
If you don't want to create a universe for reporting then you can use Crystal Reports instead of WebI

BO3.1 to BO4DeskI to WebI report conversion using RCT (2 database)

Hello,
I have to convert reports from BO 3.1 to BO 4.0 version.
I have a DeskI report which has 2 Freehand SQL and both are pointing to different databases.
So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to convert DeskI report which uses multiple databases?
2. RCT will convert these SQL and generate different universes for both databases?
Do we have any other suitable approach to convert DeskI reports which uses multiple db?

Hi
1. yes, it is.
2. I think for this you need to follow below steps:
Refresh the Query in DeskI make sure it is refreshing perfectly.
Convert the DeskI report using RCT to WebI report
Refresh the converted WebI report make sure it refreshes prefect.
Find out which connection has been used for Default FHSQL universe
Find out any universe has using the same connection.
Create a derived table using the same query from WebI report
Export the universe to RCT universe folder.
Open the WebI report and to point the universe.
Map the objects to existing WebI report objects
If you need more help on this kindly revert me back.
Hope it must help you!
Cheers,

Retrieving Webi report size using BO XI SDK

Hi,
How do I retrieve the size of the BO Webi report using BO XI SDK? I am migrating a java application from BO 6 to BO XI, and in the existing code WIDocument.getDocSize() is used to retrieve the report size. What is the equivalent of this in BO XI?
Thanks,
Subham

Hi Subham,
If you are looking for the size of the WID file, you can get this through the InfoObject.
Please note that this WID file only changes if the WebI document was actually saved.
Below is a sample code snippet that will retrieve the file size from an InfoObject:
IInfoStore boInfoStore = (IInfoStore) boEnterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore");
String query = "SELECT SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE='false' AND SI_NAME='" + webiDoc + "'";
IInfoObjects boInfoObjects = boInfoStore.query(query);
if (boInfoObjects.size() > 0) {
     IInfoObject boInfoObject = (IInfoObject) boInfoObjects.get(0);
     IFiles boFiles = boInfoObject.getFiles();
     IFile boFile = null;
     for (int i=0; i<boFiles.size(); i++) {
         boFile = (IFile) boFiles.get(i);
         out.print(boFile.getName() + ": " + boFile.getSize() + "<BR>");
} else {
      out.print("No WebI document found!");
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dan

Running web report that uses jdbc

I have been trying to run a web report from oc4j. The report was created in reprots 9i. The url:
http://localhost:8888/reports/test/myReport.jsp?userid=username/password@dbname
works great for a report that was created using a sql connection. It doesn't work for a report created using a jdbc connection. When I try to use it for a jdbc report I get the following error:
REP-4100: Failed to execute data source. REP-0069: Internal error JDBCPDS-62000:Invalid sign-on parameter P_JDBCPDS
What url should I use to run a report that uses jdbc? Thanks.

Hi Roger
To clarify, for reports which have PDS based queries, you need to give a sign on parameter in the url. This sign on parameter is nothing but the connection details. In case of reports designed with sql query, you provide userid in the url. The default sign on parameter name for JDBC PDS based report is p_jdbcpds. When you design a report, you have option of changing this sign on name. In case your report has sign on parameter name different to default sign on name, you need to specify that sing on parameter name in the URL.
For JDBC query with Oracle thin driver, the sign on parameter would look like:
scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = xxx-xxx)
(Port = 1521)
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = xxx)
(Port = 1526)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = xxxx)
After @, you basically gives DB connection info as defined in tnsname.ora file for that DB.
Thanks

How to save webi report created using InfoView into my local PC

Hi Experts,
I am creating a Web Intelligence document using infoview and once the report is ready, i want to save it in my local PC for later refresh. How can i save that using Infoview ? I don't want to save the report in the server(repository).
Regards,
Suresh

After saving WebI reports to Local PC also, one can't see them COZ of .wid extension, to view them again we need WebI installed.
You can Save them to Excel or PDF or CSV to your local PC and Schedule them to get latest data as well.
Thank You!!

Uploading reports that use dynamic parameter values

CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am having difficulty using Crystal Reports Server XI to deploy reports that were made in Crystal Reports XI.
When I create a report that uses a dynamic parameter listing, I get the follow error when I try to install it onto the server:
Failed to read data from report file C:\WINDOWS\Temp\myreport.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object
But if I were to use a static parameter listing, the server will load up the report just fine. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong and I need to do to fix the problem. As many details as possible would be helpful.
Thanks,

Does the issue happen with the built in administrator account? I believe this is a permissions issue and the permissions need to be set in business views.
