WebI Report Prompt

Hi All,
I am trying to create a report prompt where a user selects a date prior to opening the report. The user selection then sets a variable that I plan to use in a formula. I do not want to use the user selected field as a filter to the report. For example, I have a date prompt. The user selects '1/1/2011' and it is set in the 'MaxReportDate' variable within the report. I then use the 'MaxReportDate' in a MaxPrice formula:
MaxPrice = Price where ReportDate = MaxReportDate.
Is this functionality possible in Web Intelligence? Please help!

hi,
If you have access to Designer (Universe), please follow the below steps.
1) Create an Object named MaxReportDate
    Definition : @prompt('Enter MaxReportDate','D',,mono,free)
    Click Tables > Specify relevant table (i.e. table from which you are using other objects)
    click ok
Please include this new object in your WEBI Query panel as well.
Now your formula will work as last one MaxReportDate will be direct object instead of variable.
MaxPrice = Price where ReportDate = MaxReportDate.

  • SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

    Hi,
    I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
    We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
    Below are the settings that I had done:
    Setting of Characteristic in BW:
    Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
    Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
    Example data:
    Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
    Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
    For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
    I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
    Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
    Thank you in advance.

  • How to restrict values of Dimensions in Webi report prompt

    Hi
            I need to create a WebI report for a set of Business users. We have several thousands of Agencies. Business Users want to see only the agencies they work with (about 100) in the prompt. This way they need not go through thousands of agencies they dont work with. I tried to use List Of Values option but that didnt give me desired result.  Please let me know how to restrict values in prompt to few values from the n number of values available in database.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    there is no such step-by-step!
    I would encourage you to consult documentation and search for terms 'row level restriction' in the help guides.
    Practice makes perfect
    Good luck

  • Web reports prompts me to input username and password in bw

    Hi all.
      When I access web reports from bw.
      It will open a IE, then go to one url ( which is located in ITS ), and IE prompts me to input a valid username and password.
      Its very strange, because I have already logged on that BW.
      Is it possible to avoid this prompt ?

    Gu,
    Can you give us the URLs that you are using , is it that the URLs are different ?
    The URL is usually
    http://<yourserver>:port/sap......
    assuming that the URLs are
    URL 1 ( which is currently opening in IE )
    http://<yourserver1>:port/sap......
    URL 2 ( for which the login is being asked for)
    http://<yourserver2>:port/sap......
    if yourserver1 and yourserver2 are different , then a logon is required.
    Hope it helps..

  • Webi Reports Prompts Order

    Hi,
    We have migrated BO 6.5.1 Webi report to Xi R2 and observed that the order of prompts is different between 6x and Xi R2. I don''t see any option to perform custorm display of prompts as custom prompt page does not show prompts defined in Universe.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Sundaresan,
    I don't have experience with the 6.5 product, however, in XI, the order of the prompts appear in alphabetical order (this is not customizable).  To overcome this limitation I've seen put into practice by universe designers the use of pre-text to a prompt to force the proper order.  For instance using a numbering scheme "1.  Choose from the following Zip Codes"; "2.  Choose from the following Cities:"; etc, etc.  Doing it this way ensures that the desired order is presented properly.
    Thanks,

  • WebI report based on Universe upon SAP BEx Queries:Prompt issue

    Hi,
      I am creating Web Intelligence report using Universe based on SAP Bex Queries. In WebI report I created a filter condition as I need to run report based on two specidc dates. I need to schedule report to run 2nd of every month to show data for last month. At present I have the following filter : date between 'Start Date' and 'End Date'. 'Start Date' should always be 'first date of previous month' and End Date be always must be 'Last date of previous Month'. How to do this. The solution I thought would be to create  variables at report/universe level ('first date of previous month' and 'Last date of previous Month') and use in the filter using 'Object from this Query' option.But this 'Object from this Query' option is missing in the prompt.Is there any work around to achieve this.? Could you please help me.
    Nanda Kishore

    Hi all,
    I have a related question too.
    I have 2 queries and need a Combined BEx query written on this for reporting. (WebI)
    In the 2 queries, there is a Field which needs to be restricted.
    But this field should not be restricted in the Combined BEx query.
    So I thought of restricting the Field at the report level. But in this case, the user gets a prompt to enter a value for the field.
    And this is not desirable as per the requirement.
    COuld you please tell me if there is another way of handling this without the user being prompted to enter a value while the report is being run, but still I need selection at the Field level.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • SAP BO 4.1 Webi report sample with prompts to try Restful api

    I was not able to find, in the report demo samples available in the SAP BO 4.1 installation, a Webi report with prompts.
    I found many Webi reports samples but all are without prompts.
    I need at least one Webi report sample with prompts to try the Restful API http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/parameters and http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/schedules with parameters body.
    Where can I found such webi sample?
    Thanks,
    Riccardo

    As you have BI 4.1 installed, you could design a sample webi report using Webi Rich Client tool.
    Open Webi rich client, select the sample eFashion universe drag few objects in the query and a filter. Set the filter as a prompt and save the report to Enterprise.
    Now you could now use this sample report for your handson on REST SDK.

  • Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

    can we generate one report tab which filters
    with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

    Hi Shrinidhi ,
    It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
    It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

  • One Webi Report with multiple Cascade Prompts

    HI
             I have a requirement to create Cascading prompts on WebI reports. I have two questions.
    1) Can one Webi report have two or more sets of Cascading prompts.
    2) The universe is used by several groups of business useres. But only one group needs to have a Cascade prompts. Therefore, if i create Cascading prompts on Universe what is the impact to other business users who dont want the prompts as cascading prompts.
    Please provide me this information.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
              Thanks for the repoly. Can you please provide me more information.
    I understand that I need to do following steps.
    1. copy existing universe as universe II.
    2. link Universe II to Universe 1.
    3. Create cascade prompts on Universe II.
    4. Provide access to Business group with the requirement of cascade prompts to Universe II and rest of the groups to Universe I.
    Please let me know if my understanding is right.

  • How to create @prompt filter at universe level for my Webi reports

    Dear all,
    I am using BO XI 3.1 SP3 with SAP BW 7.0.
    I have created an open[big] query based on a multiprovider for my OLAP universe.
    OBJECTIVE: to create LOV prompts for Calender year, for my webi reports, which takes 2010 as input then offsets the input year and then shows Gross sales for the prompt year [2010], 2009 & 2008.
    ISSUE: if 2010 is selected in webi prompt filter, then it doesn't display any data for any other year, lets say gross sales for 2009.
    ALTERNATIVE: i tried to create a prompt filter in the universe with this syntax,
    <FILTER KEY="@Select(Calendar year\Calendar year).[TECH_NAME]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Enter year','N',,Mono,Free,Not_Persistent)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    it worked fine. but i also want to create a measure or dimension which subtracts 1 from the above filter and return a result with a previous year.
    e.g
    PROMPT: 2010
    PROMPT-1: 2009
    Universe structure
    [TIME]                         class
      [Calender year]        class
         [Calender year]     dimension  ( type:string)
    Please guide me with correct procedure and syntax.

    masood44 ,
    I think you should just prompt for year and capture and use the selection at the webi report  level.
    say you have calendar year(convert it into numeric) prompt at webi level. say user selects 2010 capture it in a variable var1:userresponse('enter year'). then create a variABLE (var2)  with formula :
    if(isPromptAnswered('enter year')='yes';([year] where year inlist(var1;var1-1;var1-2);null)
    build your report with var2 and gross income
    Thanks,

  • Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST  when using Dimensions in Prompt

    Hi,
    I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
    I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
    Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
    The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
    When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
    A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT  { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS,  { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] }  ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]  failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
    I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
    Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
    SELECT  { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } 
    ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS,  { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] }  ) ON ROWS 
    FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
    Then it worked Fine!!!  If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
    By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
    I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
    Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
    regads,
    Nisha.

    Hi Ingo,
    I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
    The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
    Also,
    I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
    This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
    MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
    Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and  "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
    COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
    So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
    and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
    I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
    When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
    But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
    This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
    We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!!  We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
    Please let me know your inputs.
    regards,
    Nisha.

  • Need to clear last selected prompt values while refreshing webi report

    While using ALL within cascading prompts its  still showing the last prompt values selected  in infoview and not while editing and trying to run webi reports.
    Is there any way to clear this?
    I have implemented following options to resolve but did not work
    1) Delete the .lov files of universe.                                                                               
    2) Delete the contents in data folder by going into storage directory
    3) Implemented the non_persistent concept in prompts
    Code is as follows for the filter with in universe
    @Select(Customised LOV\State) = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)
    or
    'ALL' = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)

    Hi,
    In Web Intelligence, the Query Filter Condition consists of 3 parts:
    - Object on which condition is applied
    - Operator (=,<,>,matches pattern, etc)
    - Operands (constant, LIst of Values, etc)
    You will find a button with a "?" sign which is also called as Prompt properties. When you click on this button, a new window will open and in this you have an option for "Keep last values selected" which is checked by default.
    Uncheck this check box --> Click OK. Run the report and save --> Relaunch InfoView to avoid any caching problems.
    Hope this works for you
