Webi reports using MSAS universe

I am using BO XI R3.1. I have created a universe by connecting it to Microsoft Analysis services 2005. In connection, I used OLE DB for OLAP providers for MSAS 2005. I used user specified user name and password and provided a domain service account that has access on the cube. Connection is successful and it brought all objects and classes from the cube. I exported the universe and tried creating reports in Webi using it.
In Webi, I can access the universe and see all classes and objects. But when I run the report it gives and error "Could not find data provider msolap.3 (WIS 10901)".
I tried to investigate and changed BO service "Server Intelligent Agent" to run on the same domain account instead of local system account. In CMC I changed the user properties to enable database credentials and gave same domain user account. Still the report does not run.
As a background, BO server is running on a separate windows 2003 server and MSAS 2005 is on a separate windows 2003 server.
Can someone please help me on this. Does it have anything to do with kerberos setup to pass security credentials across the servers?
Thanks
Tarun

Sorry Didier.
For some reason if i save the file it is saved as 0 bytes and if i try to open directly , the zip archive is empty.
Can you please attach this as a pdf or word document?

Can create Webi report using multiple universe (multiple datasource)

Hi All,
Can we create a Webi report from multiple universe (can say multiple dataprovider & datasource)?
Please suggest.
Regards,

You can bring as many sources together into one report as you like.
However, to use them together you must have some common dimension, such as a particular Sold To Party, Business Partner, etc. You can then use merge dimensions to develop your report but you will need to be aware that dimensions that are NOT Common to both data providers cannot be used in a table combining two data providers.
So, if data provider one has dimensions Resort, Product and Year and a measure object Sales Value
while data provider one has dimensions Resort and Year and a measure object Cost Value, you cannot use Product in a report but you can display Resort, Year, Sales Value and Cost Value together to show you how much revenue each resort is generating each year and how much it is costing you to do so. To have product in the report table, you would need to add it to data provider two.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Mark

#Unavailable in WEBI Report - Using OLAP Universe

Hi,
I am using BEX query (OALP Universe) to create a WEBI report, when I run the report, it shows #UNAVAILABLE in Key Figures values.
I am not using the database delegation in Key figures properties in Universe, it is default to SUM
and if i create a new report based on this universe it is displaying correct, only if i open the existing report it shows the #unavailable.
and i tested this report in webi rich client, i.e. i imported this report in WEBI rich client and ran it , it was working fine, then again i exported this report into infoview and it is working fine in Infoview, the Key figures are showing values.
I am strange of this issue...
Please let me know if you guys have any idea on this issue
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Ram

Hi,
I am not sure if it is the same problem, but I had similar issues with measure objects coming out of the universe that were defined as "database delegated" in the universe object's properties. Basically it then forces you to always refresh when you have changed anything on the report, so that it can recalculate the measure. I am not aware of differences regarding this in Rich Client vs. InfoView, but there could be. I have seen other similar issues between the two before.
Check to see if the measures are database delegated, and change them if you can to sum or count or whatever they should be.
Hope that helps.

How to schedule webi report using OLAP Universe

Hi all,
I am using the webi report which is based on BW query or cube.
I want to schedule the webi report which should get refreshed automatically.
how to set the date parameter for that webi report at universe or report level.
or shall i should create a variable at bw side i.e., (sysdate -1) and tht variable should i use in the report or any idea..
i am using BOE 3.1 SP3
Integration Kit SP3
BW 7.1
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Sarma

Hi,
it won't be at "report-level" . those local variables are formulae used for formatting, not for user inputs / responses.
Easiest is to use the SAP KEYDATE variable in the BEx query.
This SAPVAR will come through as a WebI prompt like any other, and has a default value of sysdate (if not answered differently)
As for the Scheduling mechanism, this is the same as always - done in Infoview / BILaunchPad - select the webi instance, and click Schedule .

WebI Report using BW Query

Hi,
I am using WebI Report using BW Query. I don't see some Formulas in Universe which is there in BEx Query.
Did anybody face the same problem before?

Hi,
I meant that you should post in the forum the calculation contained in the formula that you cannot see in your universe.
But let's start from the begining since you are new to SAP: Did you generated the universe yourself? If the formula was added in the query after the universe was created then you must refresh your universe (In the Universe designer please select the option "Refresh structure" under the "view" menu) in order to get the newly created formula (I assume we are takling about a calculate figure here) in your universe also.

Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

Dear Experts,
I'm new to OLAP universes.
We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
We require a calmonth (time dimension) object (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table. User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
Thanks
Akshara

Hi Henry,
Thank you for your response.
BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
Regarding reporting requirements, User wants to have adhoc reporting with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
Thanks
Akshara.

Create a Webi report using QAAWS as a data source

Hi Experts,
I am on BO 4.1 SP 3, and using the Webi Rich Client to create a WEBi report using a QAAWS url as a data soruce.
This is the first time I am trying this, so any tips/helpful links are welcome.
I get the below error, when I try to map the fields. But I do not have any personal data files involved.
Thanks,
Vasu Natari.

Hi Vasu,
We can create webi report with QAAWS.When creating the report on webservices /Personal data providers we'll not get prompt/query filters option .
Are you trying to change source ? Instead create new source and get data.

Created Webi report using BEx Query.

Hi All,
I am going to upgrade in BW and using BEx & Webi Report. I have created webi report using BEx query. Now I need to test data in webi report.
Can anyone tell me how to test data?

compare the webi report data with Bex report. more you can compare webi report with SAP R3 system for random records.

Webi Report on BW Universe works in DEV but not properly in TEST

Hi,
We have created a Webi-Report on a BW Universe on our DEV server. Everything works like a charm and we are prompted as the first thing for keydate and the report is refreshed successfully. We then export the Universe (no connection overwrite) and Report to our TEST server with the Export Wizard and the problems start.
When we refresh the report on the TEST server we are prompted for keydate. If we select a value for the date we receive an error:
A database error occured The database error text is: The MDX (and then some MDX) failed to execute with the error Specify a value for variable Financial Statement Version. (WIS 10901)
If we select Use default value the report refreshes but no currency conversion is done. We can then refresh the report again and this time if we select a value for the keydate the report refreshes without the above error.
We have tried to overwrite the connection during export from DEV to TEST so the connection points to our DEV BW Server with the same result. If we create the universe on the TEST server from scratch everything works as intended.
If we transport the Universe and report from DEV to PROD directly the report works as intended.
The BO user (SSO WinAd) testing this have admin rights on BO. The connection in the univers to BW is done using a fixed username and password (no SSO to BW)
I am now out of options and would appreciate any input you might have to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Lars

Hi Wavery,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the connections and they are named exactly the same on DEV/TEST/PROD. I have also tried deleting the universe, connection and report on TEST and then do a new transport of all of them from DEV to TEST. Same result.
What I don't understand is why the refresh works if I do it in two steps:
<OL>
<LI>
I set keydate to "use default value" when prompted and the report will refresh without the keydate dependent calculations. None keydate dependent measures are showing correct values from BW.
</LI>
<LI>
Then I refresh again and set the keydate to a date and the report refreshes with the dependent calculations.
</LI></OL>
This tells me the connection is working and the problem is somewhere else. At the moment I'm clueless
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lars

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,

LCM in SAP BO 4.0 Webi not using new Universe version

Hi I am trying to use LCM in SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 sp5. After moving a universe from a development server to a production server using LCM (promotion management) everything seems to work as advertised: connections stay the same on my production box, security stays the same, and I see the change when I import the changed universe on production into universe designer. However, in order to see the change in an existing WEBi report or a new WEBi report that uses the universe, I have to export the universe again to the production server from universe designer in order to see the change in WEBi. Note that I had tried first logging completely out of BI Launchpad and logging back in, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Hi Kevin,
After promoting universe from one env to another one import/export is needed to see all the changes in webi built on that.

Can not create Webi report on a Universe based on Bex Query

Hi,
We are using BO XI 3.1 (FP 3.4) with SAP integration Kit (same Patch Level) with SAP Authentication. We have a Universe based on a bex query and its connection is set to use SSO.
We have say two SAP users U1 & U2. Now "U1" is able to create webi reports but when we Logged in as "U2" and try to create Webi reports or try to refresh reports created by U1 it through an error ...
The database error text is: (CS) "Error on NumResultCols" . (WIS 10901).....
As per the "Authorization" section in BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solution Installation Guide we have provided this users with all the mention autherizations.
Any words over this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,

It is highly probable that this is due to missing authorizations on the SAP BW side (not talking about the authroizations which are directly related to the BO/BW integration). I would recommend to ask your SAP Basis team to do a security trace while you are accessing the reports with the user, who gets the error. THey should look for failing authorization checks.

WEBI report on a Universe - Time Format

Hi,
I have a WEBI report built on a universe that uses a BW query as a datasource.
In my BW report I have two time key figures of type DEC.
Actual Time and Scheduled Time in format HH:MM:SS or -HH:MM:SS if it is a negative value. It works well in Bex and RSRT.
There is a Universe report built on top of this report and my WEBI report is built on the universe.
When I run the WEBI report the time key figures display in the format 10,000 in BO instead of 01:00:00 (HH:MM:SS) as it is in Bex. It is obviously doing some type of internal conversion and outputting the wrong result.
Is there a way to convert the field in BO so that it outputs the same as Bw format?
I have tried changing the universe format properties of the field from Number to Character and back again but it does not give me any different result and in some cases it displays as #DataType.
Any suggestions welcome.
BO Version 3.1
BW Version 7.01
Regards,
John

If you select "Date/Time" in the format then select the time field, does this work for you?
It should be HH:mm:ss (capitalization matters).
I don't have a BW sample currently available to test so this screenshot is from an Oracle data source.
Also, are you able to set the object to a Date type?
