Weird behaviour of WebI Report

Hi All,
I have created a Webi report on top of BEx Query. Report is working fine,but when we ran the first time it is throwing an error stating that " No Data to be displayed", but if i ran again( with same prompt values) then it is showing me the data...after that i tried with changing the prompt values then it is displaying data..
so for the first time i am getting this error
Can anyone help me out why the report is behaving in such a way...
Regards,
Rajesh

Thanks Wavery,
I tried that option also, But every first time we run it is showing the same message.. second time if i click refresh it is displaying data.
In Bex side there is no problem...
but its strange... i created a new report then it is working fine....still unable to undertand why i am getting that message

Weird behaviour in web service input

Don't know whether anyone has come across something similar. If you have a simple class that e.g. calculates how many days left till a particular day, using the following code:
public class Countdown {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int daysLeft = 3;
try {
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
Date home = df.parse("2004/06/18");
Date today = new Date();
long timeLeft = home.getTime() - today.getTime(); // time in milliseconds
daysLeft = (int)(timeLeft / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); // time in days
} catch (ParseException p) {
p.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(daysLeft);
running this code normally produces an expected result.
BUT, if you include the code as part of a J2EE 1.4 web service (converting the main method into an ordinary method that returns an int and converting the println statement to a return statement) using the Sun AppServer, the ParseException is thrown and the date is declared unparseable: all this inside the same JVM. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Why would the String representation of the date be parseable in the one instance but not in the other??
Thanks.

Thanks!

BW Hierarchy in WebI report: strange behaviour

Hi experts,
I faced with an (apparently) strange WebI behaviour.
I'm working with SAP BW 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 SP 2.
I have a universe built on a BEx query and the BEx query is built on a multiprovider (with 2 infoCubes inside).
The universe maps a BW hierarchy (ex. H) along with other object (ex. A and B).
In WebI report all works fine if I got only hierarchy levels (in drill mode) and a measure.
Adding the A characteristic, A values seems to be mapped in the hierarchy characteristic while A values are empty.
Adding the B characteristic, both B and H are empty.
Removing hierarchy objects from the report, A and measure works fine.
B and measure works fine.
BEx query works fine.
Does anyone has ever faced with this kind of problem?
Any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

Hi,
There is a mechanism called "flattening" which transposes OLAP DataSet into an XML stream 'rowset' - this is part of the MDX interface of BW, and is most problematic.
the ultimate proof is to enable the MDA.log , capture the MDX SELECT statement, and Executing it in transaction MDXTEST in BW. There are 3 execution modes: multidim, flattening, xml - there has to be exact parity in the ouput between the 3 modes, otherwise you have a problem
You'll probably find that the query syntax Runs correctly, but perhaps the data problem is also seen in the BW back-end ?
Please check SAP Note 1446246 - MDX: Composite SAP Note for flattening API based on basXML
and ensure that you have the Related Corrections implemented

Weird behaviour in report filter with Presentation variables

Hi All,
I'm facing a weird behaviour on filtering the report using presentation variables
Prompt:
1. Start Date assigned to PV_ST_DT
2. End Date assigned to PV_END_DT
Report
In the filter section given the "between" condition with these two presentation variable
Fiscal Date between {@PV_ST_DT}{01/01/1990} AND {@PV_END_DT}{01/01/1990}
this given filter condition results in the report like
Fiscal Date is equal to ({@PV_END_DT} value)
the filter criteria is not applied as I given, I have tried by changing the conditions like greater than or equal to , less than or equal to. The filter applied only the last presentation variable value with the prompt condition, It is not taking the condition specified in the report.
Can anyone provide a solution on this?

Below format: works perfectly fine
Fiscal Date BETWEEN '@{PV_ST_DT}{01/01/2007}' AND '@{PV_END_DT}{01/03/2007}'

Mail / Exchange 2013 weird behaviour?

I’m hoping someone here can help with weird behaviour from Mail which is driving me nuts. It doesn’t appear to be the same problem as the odd Exchange behaviour described in other threads. It appeared about a month back, and I had made no changes to my software or hardware at that time.
I have the latest version of OSX Mail in Mavericks, set up with an Exchange 2013 and iCloud mail accounts. There are no extensions or add-ons running. I have two Macs and two iOS devices on these accounts, all fully updated. The problems exist regardless of which devices are powered up at any one time. Mail is set to download messages automatically.
On both of the Macs I get the same following problems:
- When new messages arrive, the mailbox notifier indicates the new messages, but they are not shown in the message list. If I select the ‘Exchange’ inbox they are visible, and remain so when I switch back to the combined ‘Inbox’.
- When I select the ‘Exchange’ inbox, rather than the combined ‘Inbox,’ then after 30 seconds or so the ‘From’ field in the message list changes to ‘To’, so all the senders are shown as my email address.
- The entire send/receive function seizes up half a dozen times a day, necessitating a Force Quit to restart the app.
iOS devices work just fine.
Is this in fact the same as the reported Exchange problems, or have I got something else going wrong here? I’ve tried deleting and recreating the account, and also had my hosted Exchange provider take a look, to no avail.
Many thanks,
Tobes

Hi Ivan,
It is really an odd issue. Working for a while, then crash.
According to your description, I found that we suspect it is a certificate issue.
If this issue really related to the certifcate mismatch or something additional, it shouldn't connect to Exchange server, even just for a while (As we
encountered).
I suggest double check our ECP VD configuration and Authentication method. Steps as below:
1. Please try to re-build ECP Virtual Directory, commands as below:
a. To remove current ECP VD:
Remove-EcpVirtualDirectory -Identity "Server01\ecp (default Web site)"
b. To check whether the Remove operation completed successfully:
Get-EcpVirtualDirectory -Server Server01
c. To create a new ECP VD:
New-EcpVirtualDirectory -Server SERVER01 -ExternalURL https://mail.contoso.com/ecp -InternalURL
https://mail.contoso.com/ecp
2. Please verify that the Microsoft Forms Based Authentication service is running on all Exchange servers.
a. To check:
Get-EcpVirtualDirectory -Server <server name> | fl *auth*
b. To enable:
Set-EcpVirtualDirectory -Identity "Server01\ecp (default Web site)" -FormsAuthentication
$true
3. Please also make sure the remote apps are all installing the trusted certificate.
4. Please also collect detailed App logs or error message in event viewer for the further troubleshooting.
Maybe I have not enough experiences, I am not sure whether the logs above that we provided is useful. Maybe others have different opinions.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Bex Hierarchy issue on Webi report

Hello Experts,
We are facing issues on use of Bex hierarchy in webi report,
Issue statement: We have webi report on bex query which have table and chart with input control on year and month to filter the report, table and chart uses hierarchy object to disply data. When we refresh report table and chart shows data with hierarchy on first level but once we check or uncheck any value from input control hierarchy in table and chart gets expanded and shows as flat structure. to get correct behaviour we have to collaps hierarchy.
Above behaviour happens for all report level filter like, block filter, drill filter, input control.
Please help me to know this is a bug or something wrong happened with development.
Regards,
Priyank Bhayani

Hello Everyone,
I have got SAP note which states this is expected behaviour hence closing the discussion.
1702356 - Hierarchy Nodes expanded automatically to all levels after selecting value in the input control in a webi report.

Issue while opening webi reports using OpenDoc url in Chrome browser

Hi
We are in SAP BI4.0 SP7. We are facing weird issue while opening the webi report via OpenDoc url in chrome. we are facing the below issue only in chrome and it works perfectly in IE and Firefox.
For the first time the report gets opened properly(when a session is created). If we try to open the same report from the same machine in a different browser tab, report gets opened up without any Tables\charts. We could see only a blank page with just the Report Tab name at the bottom. If we do refresh on the page, the report opens up correctly. We have checked for packet drops and there is no such thing. Is there any setting that we should make to resolve this. Your help is appreciated.
thanks
Gokul

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.
best regards,
Victor

Unable to change the background color of a webi report in the infoview

Hi,
Can someone please me help me with the below issue.
Environment Details:
BusinessObjects XI3.1 SP1SP2SP3
BusinessObjects XIR2 SP5
.Net infoview
IE 7
JRE versions used as;
On BOXI3.1 SP3 Server -1.6.0_03
On BOXIR2 SP5 Server -1.4.2_02
On the client machine   -1.6.0_14
Issue Description:
-Open an existing webi report in the infoview.
-In the report,I am not able to change the background and the font color for the column headings from the properties tab in the left navigation panel.
-I can change the color after hitting the color tab for multiple times.Also the color was getting changed when the color code was manually changed.
-The reports background color was getting changed,but not the font color.
-I tried to create a test report,where I was able to change the color.
I have;
-Installed the Java update 14 on BOXI3.1 server machine,here I was able to change the background and font color.
-However on the client machine,with the same Java update 14,the background and the font color for the column headings was not getting changed.
-Same behaviour is observed on BOE XIR2 SP5 machine.
Is there any limitations for using Java update 14 or am I required to do any other settings.
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
It is a strange behavior. You also stated that when you create a test report it works fine.
Can you create a copy of this report and then try on the new copy?
One thing you can do as a test to refresh the universe and then try it. And change some columns - add some column and then save and ten remove and save and make changes like this and trying changing color.
I think there is a problem with this report this is why it is behaving like this on all machine.

Getting error when refreshing the WebI report

Hi,
I am building WebI reports using a universe which is constructed over a BI cube.
Initially I am building the report and uploading it into CMS.
When I am importing the report from CMS and refreshing it, I am getting an error
"A database error has occured. The database error text is: A runtime exception has occured. (Lisence key check failed, Check that you are lisenced to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901)".
What could be the reason for this kind of behaviour?
The version of BO is 3.1.

Hi,
Your answer was really helpful, and it worked upto some extent. I have updated the lisence key and the following error is no longer coming.
"(Lisence key check failed, Check that you are lisenced to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901)".
But now I have a new error popping up when ever I import a report from CMS and refreshing it.
The error is "A database error occured. The database text is: The supplied XML is not valid.[SYMTNKEY].[LEVEL 01]. (WIS 10901)."

WebI Report Corruption on BI 4.1 SP 1 Patch 7 : An internal error occured while calling 'openDocument' API WIS 30270

Hi All,
We are facing some weird WebI report corruption issues.
Issue is specific to only one report so far. We have seen this issue usually when we save the report to enterprise or do Save as.
Report gets corrupted at both the places; local and in repository.
The report have 5 Tabs, 3 queries from same database, Cross Tab, and approximately
15 Dimensions and around 500 Measures (From 3 Queries same universe and database)
Variables: 70 Measures and 10 Dimensions (created on report level)
Error Message while opening the report:
This error is generic. however there is no relevant SAP note for this on SMP. Even in trace I could not find much relevant details:
Please find the logs attached for WebI rich client tool.
Note: Change the extension of attached file to .zip and then extract
Thanks
Satish

Hi Jen,
Thank you for the response.
I am using WebI rich client in offline mode without connecting to CMS; still the working report crashes after making some changes while saving it. (we do refresh reports here)
Secondly, APS is already split and we have enough resources on the server, which anyways are not being used so far.
Even in logs do not see any instance for insufficient memory or crashing message.
Only connection server will come into picture when we use Rich Client all other task will be done be Rich client itself.
Thanks,
Satish

Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

Hello,
i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting. Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
So , if you have any feedback , advise....
thanks in advance,
Rgds,

Hi,
WEBI don't replace BEX reports, is for different audience, in fact BEX is for OLAP reports and analysis.

Error and weird behaviour in executable launch

Hello folks,
This post is regarding a weird behaviour i am experiencing with an executable i built.
LABVIEW version(Includes Runtime engine) LV2012 SP1 f3
DAQmx: 9.6.1
The behaviour is listed below in detail.
In a nutshell, the exectuable runs on the development computer but does not run on the Target computer. Also, Irresepctive of which PC i run the executable on, i cannot access the block diagram even after enabling debugging everywhere.
On the target PC, the app fires up but does not run further, no error codes appear on the screen, it's like the app freezes after firing up. And to add to the misery, i cannot access the block diagram to debug and know what's going on.
Also, I have tried including the dynamic vis to my build script. No bueno.
What I see on running the app is addressed below:
TARGET COMPUTER:
DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE have been installed manually.
App does not run: No broken run button, the app launches but does nothing when the vi is run. No error messages.
The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
DEVELOPMENT COMPUTER:
The app launches and runs perfectly.
The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE were not installed as the app recognized the already installed Labview environment.
Additional steps that I have tried,
Created and ran only an executable on the target PC, the attempt was unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section.
Created and ran an installer with additional install options(LV2012 f4 RTE and DAQmx 9.7)on the target PC, the attempt was again unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section. No error messages.
Tried both the steps mentioned above on the development computer and the attempts were successful. .
To the best of my knowledge, I believe, the issue here is with the environment I am creating for the executable and the installer to run with/off of. After having carefully followed the installation procedure for the Run-Time Engine and the DAQmx drivers, I still do not know what I am missing.
Please advise.
Thanks guys,
RP.

Hey guys,
So, got the application to work. Almost.
The problem was that the executable was missing the hardware config from the Device.
Now, the new issue is as following:
The goal of the vi is to generate a report of the test conducted. So, the way the vi works is that, the second the vi is run, an empty word file is created with only the company logo,
Field headings, which are populated after the test is conducted.
The logo is a .jpg file, which has a relative path into the executable.
The field heading are String constants wired into a 'concatenate strings.vi' which are in turn wired to into the report generation vis.
What's happening is that when i run the app on the target pc, Only the logo appears on the word template. Even when i conduct the whole test and stop the vi, the results aren't populated in the word file. Which is a little weird.
Does any one know whats doing that?
Please refer to the attached word files.
Right - It is the file format desired.
Wrong - It is the file format achieved.
Please advise.
Thanks,
RP.

Issues faced after integrating WebI report to C4C

Hi All,
I have Integrated a WebI report in C4C by creating an HTML mashup with report URL.
I Added the mashup as a new facet in Customers->Accounts.
Expected behaviour: The report should be visible in the new facet.
Issue: While using the HTML version of tenant, when I select this new facet I am redirected to the WebI portal
Is this the Expected behavior? If not, how can I prevent this from happening?
Thanks and Regards,
Manasi

Hello Experts,
Attaching screenshots of my issue.
Mashup details
2. In Accounts, went to adaptation mode->Edit Screen and added TESTWEBI as a new facet
3. Switch to HTML5 link of the tenant. Navigate to Customers->Accounts->TestWebi
4. We are redirected to WebI portal
What could be the reason for this behavior? I tried the same steps with a Bex /BI report and there was no such issue. On load of the page I got a popup asking for uname password and the report loaded as an anscreen component on the page.
But any WebI report, whether generated from Bex query or other data sources is causing this issue.
Any thought on why would this issue occur would be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Manasi
