Webi rich clinet - problem in date

Experts,
I m working in webi rich client evaluation version. I have one problem while creating report. The data is from BEx query and the field are from the Cube which is not having the date formate. The problem is,
If i have data which is date formate like month/year, example 02/2008. If i want to create the quarter from this date formate(month/year) using formula, the webi showing formula error 'date formate is not correct'.
The error is 'The required data type is date' . But I do not have the data for the dates, that is i have only month and year. If any formula for this to find quarter from the available data, Please give me the suggestions or any idea to come up. Please do not give any other suggestion like create manually anything.
Thanks and Regards,
Dharani

Hi Diarani,
The numer you have is a character string. If you prefix it with 01/ and then convert it to a date, youshould be able to get the quarter from it.
=FormatDate(ToDate([MonthYear];"MM/yyyy");"q")

Report Developed in Webi Rich Client Consuming more time in Data Retrieval

Dear All,
I am a BO Consultant, recently in my project I have developed one report in Webi Rich Client., at the time of development and subsequent days the report was working fine (taking Data Retrieval time less than 1 minute), but after some days its taking much time (increasing day by day and now its taking more than 11 minutes).
Can anybody point out what could be the reason?????
We are using,
1. SAP BI 7.0
2. SAP BO XI 3.1 Edge
3. Webi Rich Client Version :12.3.0 and Build 601
This report is made on a Multiprovider (Sales).
What are the important points that should be considered so that we can improve the performance of Webi Reports????
Waiting for a suitable solution.....................

Unable to create or update the Excel Personal data provider in Web Rich

Hi All,
Iam getting the below error message ,when iam using Excel as personal data provider in WEBI Rich Client.
"Unable to create or update the Excel Personal data provider in Web Rich Client Cannot open the workbook WIS:10872"
Please suggest a solution ,it helps a lot..
Regards
Mahesh

Hi,
Was this issue resolved? I see this post has been marked answered but there wasn't any information on what it took to resolve the issue.
We have our CMS and processing servers on Linux while our Scheduling servers are on Windows. The WEBI reports with external data providers fail to run on Infoview/ scheduler.
We were told this is addressed in FP 3.6 but that is not the case. We installed FP 3.6 but still continue to see these errors. It required us to manually deploy the ExtensionFactoryService package for enabling the refresh of such reports on infoview/schedulers. It also involves placing of the file used [.xls/.txt] on the linux server on the PersonalDPFiles directory.
No luck so far!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Bank row was added in webi rich client when using excel as data provider

reproduding steps:
1.open webi rich client.
2.Create a new webi report,then select "local data source"
3.select an excel file as data source.
4.run query.
For example,there are 5rows in excel,but in webi report there are 6 rows,and the last row is bank which is added by webi.
question
1. mcro has been defined in the excel file,is there any impact by using macro?
2.I want to know why this happens,

>could you please test the following solution if you have multiple data providers in the report.
>We need to manually link the dimensions then in the resulting crosstab/table we are need to apply >filters and select only the values but not the #empty values.
I have only one data provider in the report.
And, I have do the following test,
test1:Delete the last row which is blank row of the excel file,refresh webi report, the last blank row is still there.
test2: press ALT+F8,delete marco in the excel file,refresh webi report, the last blank row is still there,then delete the last blank row in the excel file ,save excel file,refresh webi,the last blank row is disappear.

Problem with Date Variable in Web I

Hi everybody,
In the BW I have a query with a Date Variable (0date) and when i execute the WebI report the variable
shows date and time, like "04/22/2010 00:00:00". Is it possible i remove the
time from the variable ?
I need to do this cause i use this date to make some calculation into the WebI report, and with the time the formulas don´t work fine, it shows "#ERRO". I've already tried to insulate the date in other variable using some functions, but it does´t work nevertheless.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

Hi Jordan,
I would suggest several options.
First, you have the option within Webi to display only the date and not the time (right click on the object on the report, or go to field properties, and change the format of the display).
If you are using this value in comparisons in the report, you must make sure the format matches. Try changing the format within the variable to be the same as what you are comparing it to. If that is still not working, let me know. It may still just be a syntax or data type/format error.
Thanks

Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...
Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\EXCEL.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
EXCEL.EXE
WordPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\WINWORD.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
WINWORD.EXE
PPTPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\POWERPNT.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
POWERPNT.EXE
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
ExportDataFullPrecision=true
To me this does not seem the way to go
This did not correct my problem.
Any ideas?
thanks
Erich

Hello,
Even we have the same issue.And changed the path in webanalysis.properties file.And it worked in entire report but in drillthru reports, export to excel 2010 didn't work and prompting to select the path to excel.Does anyone has solution for this??

New browser window from CRM Web UI causes problems

Hi Experts,
We have several links to internal web sites that CRM users can access from the web UI. Problem is, whenever one of these links are selected, the user looses whatever it was they were doing in CRM and the main window displays the following message:
The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on.
Anyway to prevent this from happening? Would very much appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Stephen Brewer

Hello Brewer,
If your requirement is to open some URL say google.com etc in a now window, then there are only 2 ways
1) Use Transaction Launcher
2) Use PopUp Window.
1) If you use transaction launcher, and created the link in your direct link group then on click of the link, the URL will open in new window but you cant avaoid the message that you get in the current window. Also, if users POPUP Blocker is ON, user will never come to know why the new window has not launch.
2) This is very simple and straight forward approch for opening URL. However, POPUP windows in WEB UI are modal windows, so say on click on a button on Account Overview Screen, i open google.com in a popup then unless i close this popup , i can not work on the account overview screen . However, you can see the account overview screen as it is and you can resume back when the popup is closed. Also you can define the even handler on close event of pop up so you can pass the data to & fro between the webclient view and the pop up.
to open some extrenal URL in a PopUp , You will need to create a blank view and attach it to a window. In .htm file of the view, you can use tag IFRAME and call your external URL here.
Hope its helpful.
Thanks & Rregards
Prasad
PS : the popup blocked problem will still be there however, it flashes a message like pop up blocker is ON in case of using popup window

Web service invocation problem on host hostname and port 8000 protocol : http logical port name : LP_WS_SMDAGENT_MONITORING

hello colleagues,
In the phase Connect Diagnostics dont show the Agent available in SLD, but when go to SLD i have the agents,
Error,

Web service invocation problem on host hostname and port 8000 protocol : http logical port name : LP_WS_SMDAGENT_MONITORING
Thanks

OK, then pls follow below steps;
- Go to step 'Create Users' in solman_setup System Preparation scenario and make sure the user SM_INTERN_WS has a green status. Use the 'Test Login' button to make sure the user is not locked and has correct credentials maintained in solman_setup
- Immediately after checking the user status, navigate to Configure Connectivity->Enable Web Services and execute again the 'Create Logical Ports' automatic activity, in order to propagate the correct credentials to the Logical Port definitions.
- If the above operation is not successful, repeat the two steps above, providing a different user Id in 'Create Users' step, eg SM_INTERN_W1. This will prevent situations where the user gets locked by Logical Ports using an obsolete password.
Let me know the results.

Hello,
When you are using WS-Security you need to secure the client too. So in your case the client is the ADF Data Control.
The way you should configure your data control is documented here:

Webi rich Client Drivers Issue

Hi,
I am facing errors when i try to run the query in WEBI Rich client whereas when I run these queries directly on the server I am not getting any error messages. Based on the error messages, I think I might need to install some drivers. Can anyone tell me the drivers that we need for Oracle & Microsoft?
When i try to run a Query on the webi rich Client for the Universe that was connecting to oracle, i am getting the following error message:
Below shown are the errors that I am facing with 2 universes which are connecting to SQL Server.
1. When i try to run a query for the Universe that is built on Cube, I am getting the following error:
2. When i try to run a query for the Universe that is built on Datamart, I am getting the following error:
Please help me out here if anyone knows the solution.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
short answer to your question : it depends on what your consuming.
you need to find out the exact version of these sources (i.e. ORA 11.1? MSAS 2008 SP2? etc)
then identify the middleware from that vendor which is supported by our SAP applications. For that, you need to cross-reference the 'product availability matrix ' (pam) for your specific Service Pack of the BO BIPlatform . www.service.sap.com/pam
then, you need to look at the connectivity of your universes to see which driver they are using (ODBC, JDBC or OLEDB for example) and then download the right file from the DB vendor's site.
then make sure that you install 32 bit MW on your client tools machine, and 64 bit on your server.
You will then need to administer the ODBC data source names (DSN) everywhere .
Good luck!

WEBI Database ranking problem

Hi,
I have a problem with Add Database ranking feature in query filter in WEBI rich client.
I have 100 products and would like to pull only top 10 products onto my report based on number of sales (measure). I am using SQL server 2008. But when I use this feature I am only getting a table with only top 4 products in my report. When I increase the number to sat 50 or 60 (top 50 products in my query) I am getting top 10 now.
Is it a bug which can be fixed with any fix pack. Like I get only top 4 products if I choose top 10 in the ADD database ranking and I get 10 if I use any number greater than 63 in the query.
Eg:
Case1: Query: Database ranking : Top 10; Product (Dimension); based on Sales(measure)\
Result: Table with only top 4 products sorted in descending order instead of 10 products
Case2: Query: Database ranking : Top 63; Product (Dimension); based on Sales(measure)\
Result: Table with only top 10 products sorted in descending order.
Right now it meets my criteria of getting top 10 products when I use top 63 in the query, but I think there is something wrong with this work around. Please reply me with any solution.
Thanks
Sudhir.

Initially I used an example of Product and Sales to explain, which are in reality SCREEN.NAME and AGG_SCREEN.ACTIVE_TIME_SUM respectively as shown below.
SELECT
sum (REP.dbo.AGG_SCREEN.ACTIVE_TIME_SUM),
REP.dbo.SCREEN.NAME
FROM
REP.dbo.AGG_SCREEN INNER JOIN REP.dbo.SCREEN ON (REP.dbo.AGG_SCREEN.SCREEN_ID=REP.dbo.SCREEN.ID)
WHERE
REP.dbo.SCREEN.NAME IN
     SELECT
       View__1.Column__1
     FROM
     SELECT
       REP.dbo.SCREEN.NAME AS Column__1,
       RANK() OVER( ORDER BY REP.dbo.AGG_SCREEN.ACTIVE_TIME_SUM DESC ) AS Rk__1
     FROM
      REP.dbo.AGG_SCREEN INNER JOIN REP.dbo.SCREEN ON (REP.dbo.AGG_SCREEN.SCREEN_ID=REP.dbo.SCREEN.ID)
     ) View__1
     WHERE View__1.Rk__1 <= 10
group by REP.dbo.SCREEN.NAME
Note: text in bold represent changes I made to SQL generated to sum and group by when used against database.
