Worm up cach in Bex reports

Hello,
Inorder To "worm up the cache" of a report i've made a web template to it, changed its properties (via RSRT) to cache mode 4-persistent cache across each application server, persistent mode 3-tranparent table(BLOB) and generate the report. The report use a variable of calc year\month. I made a variant for the variable with the values 1.2005 - 12.2005. When i run the report with exactly the same values in the selection screen it runs very fast but when i put 1.2005 - 9.2005 it becomes very slow like i didnt worm up the cache...
Please Advice,
David

I have to agree with Jeff LaRuso on this. It should work based on what you have described.
Although I'm sure you have it setup, let's backup a bit and verify that Global Cache is active on the Appl Servers the query is running on. Even though you are not caching to main memory, global cache still needs to be on. The query could be looking in the local session cache and finding the results which could explain why the idnetical query runs very fast.
When you say you have the variable marked as can be changed during navigation - that means you have an X in the box, correct?
You've verified thta the variable you are using in the query is the variable you have marked as changeable?
Any idea how big your global cache is? There is a setting somewhere that sets athe maximum size of a result thta can be cached as a percentage of the OLAP cache - I'm not certain if that would apply to a result set that is be cached persistently, but you never know.
What Version and Svc Pack are you on?

Data Different in Web reports and Bex Report

Dear Experts,
We found that the data in web reports is not in line with BEx reports, The Infoprovider is same the query is same. But when we are executing reports with same varialbes in BEx and Web reports, they are showing different values.
COuld you please let us know what could be the possible reasons for the above criteria, and how to overcome it?

Hi Rajni,
Clear the cache memory and run the web report agian.
Hope it helps,
Thanks ,

BO migration from BEx reports

One of my client is running on SAP IS Retail 6.0, and they have few BW reports. Now they are looking for migrating the BEx reports to BO XI.
They do not want to change anything, but want to port the reports as is to BO from BEx.
My previous experience of porting BEx reports to BO as is, without puting extra filters of something, to reduce the huge data size images was not good at all.
Is there any way to have better performance in BO than the current BEx performance, if we want to port the reports as is without any structural change?
Please share your experience with me.

My company is running Webi reports using BOBJ XI 3.1 (up to current fixpack level) on SAP BI 7.01 EHP1-SP5. This config gives 50% reduction in Memory, 30% improvement in runtimes, on average compared to 7.0 BI, according to SAP. But is it good enough for full corporate deployment?
My understanding of the Webi <-> SAP BI architecture is that we still have a large image sent to the XI Box from the query -> universe -> Webi report refresh. The big flaw here in my view is that Webi is disconnected from the OLAP database tables after the refresh, thus must 'image' everything the report requires, in our case into a 32 bit Windows NT box.
This is quite different from the SAP BI OLAP front-end model, in which user navigations are threaded in various ways (sometimes from cache, from aggregates, from indexes on the DSO characteristics etc), as we can see in our BI OLAP processing steps in BI statistics.
After the Webi refresh, there are no 'threads', or calls, back to BI ABAP tables, as the Webi report has to represent all the potential navigation in the MDX model. For this reason it seems a fundamentally resource-intensive architecture, that can induce instability when very large sets of data are retrieved in concurrent user sessions. By "large" think of the 'cubed' size (count of characteristics X count of key figures X number of transactions).
If user activity results in concurrent refresh calls to generate large report 'images' from SAP BI, I have observed 100% CPU freeze in BOBJ XI, and user lockout until resources are again freed up, which can take a very long time for certain reports. Subsequently when the large images are subjected to user OLAP navigations, CPU processing again will spike.
When running large image reports, the Webi performance has been an 'order of magnitude' slower than our reports running on ABAP web. Unfortunately, the risk is greater than just slow performance - there is the CPU and memory resources that are engaged during that extended processing interval as well.
Much depends on the normal level of user activity. This is a matter of simple statistics. Say your overalll production BI system load averages ten users per hour running reports. If Webi report runtime averages 30 minutes per refresh, and BEx ABAP runs in 5 minutes, the probabillity of concurrent resource collisions is much higher - from 10% to 50%, thus the situation can snowball rapidly.
I think SAP is working very hard on this problem, but has issued guidance as recently as May 2009, that if you have current BEx reports that are working, don't migrate them all yet. Unfortunately our users are anxious to run everything in the Webi tool, because it is indeed a super user interface.
However, customers have until 2016 until the Bex tools are phased out. Interviewed by Searchsap, Jonathan Becher, SAP Sr. VP, said, "There are lots of scenarios that BEx does just fine, if you're confident using BEx, don't rush." The same article also quoted Cindy Coyle of Coors, who had tested the Webi BOBJ: ""Don't go near Business Objects [until you get a BWA]," Coyle said, "because it'll only add more performance problems on top of what's there today."

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.

How bex report take data

Hi Friends,
We loaded data to cube it was successful,again i loaded data which was modified in source system and before loading this time i deleted the previous request.
Now in cube only one request is there and in bex report data was reflecting correctly.
This cube data is used in SAP BO reporting means they built reports on cube then in their report it is not reflecting .
i have two questions here.
1) Apart from cube where data will be stored in bw server if it happen how to delete the complete data in bw server?
2) how bex fetch data from cube? ( because the way bex retreaving is differ from bo report retreave)
Pls can any one tell me.
Thanks in advance,
Thanks & Regards,
Ramnaresh.P.
Edited by: ramnaresh porana on Dec 3, 2008 5:49 AM

Hi ramnaresh,
As for my Knowledge data will be stored in two palcess , One is cube (nothing but F& E tables) Another one is PSA. But PSA data is not used for bex. So we will use only on cube data.
Bex report will bring the data from OLAP processor, it will bring data from data base tables(F&E).
once you run the query first time it will fetch data from data base(F & E tables) to olap processor and copy the same data in olap Cache then send to Bex Analizer.
second time you run the same query then it will fetch data from olap chase .
Thanks

Concatenation of Data from 4 infoobjects into a single cell in Bex Report

Hi,
I have loaded ODS with the description data. The source system for loading the ODS is the flat file. The ODS data should be a replica of the flat file.
In the flat file, there is a description field corresponding to a particular ID. This Description is greater than the standard 60 char length. So, I had to split the description while loading the flat file using single line routine in the Transfer Structure.
So, while loading different the data, I split the description field data from the flat file into 4 infoobjects and the flat file data was loaded into the ODS.
Now, from the reporting point of view, I need to display the entire description data from the 4 info-objects into a single cell in the Bex report.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Header and Footer in a BEx report

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement where I need to provide a space for the user to sign-off with their name and signature at the bottom of the print-out of a BEx report. For this purpose I need to provide a space at the bottom of the report where the user can write their names and sign-off. It should be something like:
Name: _________________________________-
Signature: _______________________________
Date: ___________________________________
Is there some way I can add all this as the footer text in the BEx query?
Thanks,
Ram

If the BEx query can use a "structure" in the rows section....
Under last row, add a selection = company code, set it not equal to the company code, & change the description =
NAME: ____________________________________________
Then, copy the above row, but change description to =
SIGNATURE: _____________________________________
Repeat, copy the above row, change description =
DATE: ____________________________________
If you want to add blank lines, copy one of these rows, but change description = a period = .
By setting the restriction <> to the real company code, then that row should be blank straight across, except for the description.
A better/more professional looking option is to put the BEx query into a web template, add 3 HTML rows under the query result table, add text per your specs. Then save web template to the appropriate role/folder to publish it on the portal.

Shortened Fiscal Year and its impact on BI back end and Bex reports

Hi All,
Our client is making some changes to the fiscal year period.
Becuase of some business requirements, we will have to shortened the fiscal year.
Can you please suggest - what are the watch points when we do this?
- what will be the impact to BI back end and Bex reports?
Thanks,
Nisha

Hello Nisha,
Since the fiscal year (Infobjects - 0FISCYEAR and/ 0FISCPER3) is compounded with fiscal year variant, therefore maintaining the correct variant in BI will automatically take care of showing the data correctly.
So there are two things to be maintained in BI:
1) To see that the variant definition.
2) If you need to display the text of the fiscal periods, then the correct texts.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Shweta

Creating Chart in BeX Report

I have few questions regarding creating Chart in BW Report. One thing I need to make it clear it's a simple BeX Report not a WAD report.
(1) How should I create a chart in the Report?? Should I have to create it in the Excel Sheet once I run the report?
(2) Do I need to create the chart everytime manually once I run the report or is there any way we can save it and everytime we open the Report it should display the chart automatically !!
(3) When users drill up/ drill down or group data in different views, the Chart should be dynamically changed follow the change in data set. Is it possible to do that??
Thanks,

hi,
you can add a chart to your report. it is possible.check out these links for details..

BEx Report Performance with selection-screen input

Hello Gurus,
My Bex report is working fine when the report had run with out PLANT filter in the selection-screen but when report had run with plant in the selection-screen , report running for forever.
Please let me know what I need to do improve the performance.
Saleem.

Hi Saleem, Just a few thoughts;
1. Check the M-table in RSD1 for 0PLANT. In Table View edit any blank or null values. Run the same restrictions you apply in the query at Info provider level > Display Data. If there's any lapse; you can judge where exactly the problem lies.
2. If you are using Infocube & that your master is >20% fact; you can declare the Info object as 'Line Item Dimension'.
3. Create Variants. Esp. if you are running the query for same set of data. Try Variable Preselection: You can restrict both the values + varaiables in the filter level. When you execute the values will be visibly pre-selected in selection screen.
4. As discussed in previous messages, running a SQL trace using RSRT may prove useful.

Bex Report Performance

Dear Friends,
I would like to know is the complex authorizations can also cause the Bex report performance.
One of my scenerio is like there are two users A & B
A is having relevant authorizations for reporting, Drill down etc which are required.
B is having SAP All authorization.
When the same report has been executed by both users on the same system.
the data retrieved by user B(SAP_ALL authorization) is quite faster than User A.
Its like ther diffference of about 10 minutes.
There are some exsclude selections in report.
So my conclusion is like the complex authorizations do also hampers the query performance.
Please confirm & share your views.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Vivek
     Can you help us understand what was the exact problem and how you resolved it / solution at Extraction / Modeling / Reporting end.
     I have a quite similiar issue with my report i have Header + Item report on Infoset
u2022     Header report takes seconds and item report takes minutes
u2022     The same report executed with exact parameter has inconsistent performance results meaning one time it takes 1 minutes next time same report same user and same authorization takes 5 minutes.
    Any help on this would be really greatfull. Suspecting is not an issue with the report at all , as no changes happened between the pre and post check.
_Additional Information : _
We Create Secondary -Bitmap index every week end i do not see that is one of the route cause.
Except that we have our regular daily loads that are running for master data loads and transaction data loads in series.
   Thanks in Advance.

Strange performance issue in bex report

Hello Experts,
I have a performance issue on my bex report.
I'm running the report with below selection criteria and getting 'too much data' error.
Country : equals EMEA
Category: not equlas 13
Date : 02/2010 to 12/2010.
But when I ran the report for smaller date ranges the number of records are not exceeding 13000.
02.2010 - 06.2010 - 6,555 rows
07.2010 - 09.2010 - 3,671 rows
10.2010 - 12.2010 - 2,780 rows
I know excel can't fit more than 65000 records, but I'm expecting 13000 records for my wide date range which excel can easily fit.
Any ideas on this one will be appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
For Question 1:
In query designer Go to the Query properties and select the tab "Variable Sequence", here you can set the order of variables as per you requirement.
For Question 2:
There will be a option "Hide Repeated Key values", if you uncheck this option then you will have the values for each row even though the material values are same.
Note; if you are viewing the report in web or WAD report you need to make the same changes in the Web template also because the settings in the query designer will be overridden when you run the query in web.
Hope this helps.

Rk.
