Hi,
To ensure BI Java is configured correctly and completely, please do the following:
1. Always use the CTC Template for BI Java for configuration (check SAP NetWeaver 2004s Masterguide available at http:/service.sap.com/instguides for details). Manual configuration or configuration via report RSPOR_SETUP should not be done for SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
2. To ensure a smooth configuration process, make sure that you have deployed the very latest patch from SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/swdc for CTC Template for BI Java.
3. To avoid encountering already known issues within the area of BI Java itself, make sure to deploy the latest patches for SCAs BI-BASE-S and BIWEBAPP.
4. Read note 983156 ('BI configuration w. Template Installer') and ake sure the necessary prerequisites are given on the ABAP side. Ensure that you have installed the latest LM Tools.
5. After running the CTC Template for BI Java, run SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool as described in note 937697 to verify your installation. In the "Advanced mode" of the tool, go to the "Configuration checks" tab and check for potential red traffic lights. To resolve the issues shown there, check the "Remedy" column and follow the instructions given there.
6. The overall process is described in more detail in note 917950 ('SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting up BEx Web'). Make sure to go through the note and also have a look at the document WDEBU7_Setting_up_BEx_Web.zip attached to that note, showing the overall process in a set of slides with screenshots.
Kind Regards,
Marcio

Run Time Errors in BEx Report Designer?....asking for Portal Setup??

In BEx Report Designer, I keep getting short dumps and timeouts when trying to design flashy reports.
I keep getting 2 errors when I time out:
1. 'Query (view) definition cannot be retrieved from Portal.
Please try again or check query and Portal Setup!
Time limit exceeded.
2. xxx Error when reading Query (via BICS)
Please check query and Portal setup!
Time limit exceeded.
We are running ECC 6.0, BI2004s, and SEM 6.0. All in Sandbox/Dev environment.
We are NOT running EP.
I am aware that we have some memory issues, and we're adding 4Gb more on Thursday....can the solution be that simple, or are these errors telling me we need Portals installed? I was under the impression that Portals were NOT required for 2004s, so long as you did not use WAD etc.
Any thoughts??

You would need to install portals(EP) for the report designer to work. When you design your flashy report in designer and try it launch it... it would try to connect to EP to publish it. It bombs when it doesnt find the portal.
On a personal note: Report designer have a long way to go when you think the output would be something like crystal .. NO not yet ... But SAP just got started ... I think they would be there pretty soon. And they promise many enhancements as of SP 13.. so lets all wait.

How to run a bex report in backround

All,
Could anybody tell me how to schedule a bacround job to run a bex report. It would be great if i could email the results also,
I appreciate any help with points,
Regards,
Mike

A reporting agent (RSREP TC) is replaced by broadcaster in 7.0, but what both do is execute the query in background and put it in cache and you try to access the cache when you execute the web template which is techinically a query.
thanks.

Hi,
I need to add a custom functionality to Crystal Report Designer so that itu2019s available as a menu option is the CRD and should able to be selected by the Report Designer when they design a report using CRD. Is it possible to write and add custom plugins to the CRD? Is there a SDK available to do this or is there a specific method that I could use? Is this supported at all? I need to add the to Crystal Report Designer XI R2 but I could use Crystal 2008 is this is available in that version.
Thank you in advance,

Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

Hi,
I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
Rgds..

Hi,
Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.
Best regards,

In which condition we need to use Rule for substitution/validation

Hi Gurus,
   I want to know in which condition I need to use rule instead of directly putting these elements in prerequisite? for example:
Case1
     Rule:TTYPEARAPO--- BSEG-MATNR <> '' AND BSEG-WERKS <> '' AND BSEG-XBILK <> 'X'
     Prerequisite:TYPEARAPO
Case2:
     Prerequisite:BSEG-MATNR <> '' AND BSEG-WERKS <> '' AND BSEG-XBILK <> 'X'
My question is the difference between case1 and case2? Thanks.

Wei Gu,
In the example you have given, there is no difference between these two cases.
However, imagine that you have to use this same condition in multiple steps / prerequisites / substitutions. In that case, it will be better design to create a 'rule' and then use it at all the places.
It makes future changes and/or maintenance more manageable.

Which IDOC segments need to be filled for message type CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M

Hi ,
I am working on data migration to CRM7.0 system.I am using LSMW for creating ISU Contracts using CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M message type and CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M01 IDOC kindly help me in what all segments needs to be filled for creating ISU contract in CRM system.
Kindly share if there are any documents related to data migration into CRM system for IS - Utilities.I need to migrate u201CBusiness Partnersu201D, u201DISU Contract Accountsu201D, u201DConnection Objectsu201D, u201DPODu201D & u201CContractsu201D to CRM 7.0 .
Also I need to migrate Customer Interaction Records, Business Activities, Service requests and other information such as u201CProspectsu201D, u201CMarketing Attributesu201D to CRM 7.0.
Kindly help me in this as I am not able to find any thing from web.
Regards,
Suresh.

Hello,
I'm not sure you're taking the best approch.
Usually when you need to migrate ISU contracts into an ISU-CRM integrated system, you first migrate everything you need in ISU through the VERY powerful migration workbench available (transaction code EMIGALL), and then you replicate your data to CRM via INITIAL download.
That's definitely the strategy that will give you the best performance, and less work.
Kind regards,

Custom drop down list for the filter for BEX report

Hi, all:
I am writing a query for a BEX report that prompts the user to enter a value for a field "GL account". I would like to have the user select from a limited number of GL options rather than have the whole Chart of accounts show up. Is there a way to make a "custom" drop down list for the filter?
Thanks!
Jenny

You need to make your GL account info object as an authorization object. And in the info object ,for BEx you need to select the option "only authorized values".
Create an analyis authorization on gl account and assign the restricted set of GL accounts to the user. Asign this analysis authorization to the user.In the query restrict this infoobject with an authorization variable. This would solve your purpose.user would be able to see only a selected set of GL accounts for which he is authorized.

Data load from BPC into BI 7 cubes for Bex reporting

Hi,
Can we pull BPC planning data into the BI cubes so that Bex reports can be created for combined data from BPC cubes and BI cubes?
Also can we create Bex reports on BPC cubes just like we create for BI reporting cubes?
Let me also give an example of the scenario we face.
We have actuals data in a BI 7 basic cube(Actuals cube). Planning is done in BPC, so I understand that the planned data gets automatically stored in a BPC cube in BI7 system. I want to load the data from this BPC cube to BI Actuals cube and create a combined Bex report to show actuals and plan data.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Archana

AS of now, if you report data in the BPC7NW cubes through BEx, you may not get the same result as you get from BPC reports. The reason being BEx won't do the same calculations (for example sign reversals) that BPC client would do. In addition, you won't be able to report the results of the dimension member formulas when you report through BEx. If you have to get data out from BPC cubes to other cubes, you can go through SQE (shared query engine) and that way, yyour results will match with what you get in BPC reports. Once you get data out through SQE into other cubes, you can use BEx to report if you wish.
More functionality will be available in near future to accomplish BEx reporting for BPC data.

Bypass a prompt for broadcasted reports-designer only

Dear All,
I'm having a little question concerning @prompt, as I used it in WHERE clause
to force users to choose only dimension value at a time ('mono' option) to lower
down number of datas.
But as reports designer I'd like to bypass this prompt .. is-it possible through
standard option ? or should I implement a technical trick like create 'ALL' in lov
and make this value available only for designer?
I noticed an optional value user:0 in @prompt syntax but coulnd find any documentation
related to this, does anybody know how to use it ?
Thanks for your help,
Rgds,
Nicolas

By bypassing the prompt do you mean that the users should not be prompted to enter values in the prompt rather it should pick up a default value and generate the report on the basis of that.
There is no such way in Designer to bypass a prompt. We can add ALL in the LOVs of the object but still user's will be prompted for the value, here they can select ALL from the LOVs. You can also specify to Keep the Last Values Selected in the prompt. Hence everytime the report the prompt will appear with the Last Value that was passed. You can either change it if you want or can refresh the report with the same value.
To achieve this you can use "Persistent" parameter.
This parameter keeps the last entry in the prompt as the default value when reusing the prompt.
The syntax of @prompt then becomes:
@prompt('prompt','Data Type','LOV',Mono or Multi,Free or Constrained,Persistent or Not_Persistent,,User:0)
Here the User:0 or User:1 is used to specify the order of prompts as they should appear in the report.
BO XI 3.0 also has a feature of "Optional Prompt". You can define a prompt as optional, hence its not mandataory for the user to enter a value in the prompt.
I hope this should help.

Need help in migrating SAP Bex Reports to BO

Hi Experts,
We have a requirment where we have to transfer bex reports to BO. Now my question is
whether all the logic performed in Bex Query designer is possible to achive in BO?
Like Customer Exit codes, Filters, Conditions,Exceptions ,Cell Definitions,Hierarchies,
Variables (text,charateritisc etc) .
Please can anyone suggest me on this any sort of document or material is very helpful.
Thanks & Regards
Sameer Khan

Hi,
Customer exit we can't write in BO,it need to be in Bex side only.
Filters-we can define any where.
Variables(char)-we can define any where but i'm not sure about Text variables.
Please have a look at the below links

Which privileges are needed to create workspace for using existing schema

Hi,
until now I always created new workspaces creating new schemas.
today I decided to use existing schemas. i created an user (default tablespace "users", with a lot of privileges (create any context, create table, etc..)
i tried to create a workspace.
now i got an error: no sufficient privileges for tablespace "users".
how to solve ?
Leo

Leo, you might try altering your site preferences using the apex_admin app so that it doesn't try to install the sample/demo applications during workspace creation. Then repeat the provisioning attempt. If it works, then you'll know the error had something to do with sample/demo app creation in the schema. If it still gives you an error we'll know that too.

Need to improve performance for bex queries

Dear Experts,
Here we have bex queries buit on BW infoset, further infoset is buit on 2 dsos and 4 infoobjects.
we have built secondary indices to the two dso assuming will improve performance, but still query execution time is very long.
Could you suggest me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Mannu

HI,
Thanks for the repsonse.
But as I have mentioned the infoset is based on DSOs and Infoobjects. So we could not perform on aggregates.
in RSRT
I have tried look in read mode of the query i.e. in 'x', which is also valid as qurey needs to fetch huge data.
Could you pls look into other possible areas, in order to improve this.
Thanks in advance,
Mannu

How do I get all servers up and running for publishing reports

I checked it and Adaptive Job Server is enabled and running. But Publication Job Server and Destination Job Server are not enabled. I read SAP Business Objects Enterprose Publisher's Guide and it says that they are mandatory. How do I get them enabled?
I use BOE XI R3.

You need to logon to the CMC (Central Management Console) with admin priviliges and go to the servers area. Her you can start/stop, enable and disable services. You should be able to find the services you are looking for. Make sure the are enabled and started.
Hope this helps...
