Xcelsius - Bex Query

Hi all,
How can create Dashboards by using SAP Bex Query (without using universe )
How can get SAP Netweaver BI Connection type in Xcelsius

Hi,
You need to update to the lastest patch levels/ENHP1 and the latest version of Xcelsius. Check the threads below:
SAP NetWeaver BI Connections - Xcelsius 2008 - XI 3.1 Enterprise
SAP BW direct connection on Xcelsius SP 2
If thats not an option you could try the approach described in the following document:

R/3 Infoset -- Bex Query -- Universe -- WebI / Xcelsius

Hi there,
i got a hint that it should be possible to connect an Infoset with a Bex Query, but i'm not sure if they mean a R/3 Infoset or a BI Infoset. I know that a connection from an universe to an BI Infoset works but does this also work for an R/3 Infoset ?
Thanks Sebastian

Hi,
This Infoset is an BI Infoset not R/3 infoset.
We dont have an directoption to connect either WebI/Xcelsius with R/3.If you want to connect Xcelsius with R/3 we have to us Data Federator.Here we have an option to use FM,Infoset Query.

Bex query in Xcelsius

Dear Xcelsius Experts,
Im having a trouble about displaying bex query data on xcelsius.
After adding a new connection i browsed my query then selected insert in area on excel.
I can see my kef figures on preview tab.On the usage tab refresh on load and use query data options are already checked.
Im also sure about my selectors (list box,combobox etc) data insertation done correctly.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Nil
p.s:im using Xcelcius sp2

Dear Nil,
If you pull the data from SAP BW using "SAP Netweaver BI connection",the whole set of data from SAP BW Query will be available through Cross Tab Data under "Output values" of "Definition" tab.So just Put one Spread sheet table or List View
item in the Workspace and simply map the Cross tab data into some Excel cells range and then map the same range of Excel cells into the Design component(Spread sheet table or List View).This will show the complete data (chars and KFs) which comes from SAP BW Query into the design component at runtime.
Hope this helps you!

Xcelsius based on BEx query. Issue when transporting from DEV to PRD

Hi all,
I am facing an issue as described below:
I created dashboard based on bex query in Query Browser. Everything is working find in DEV. Then I transport the dashboards to PRD, I also use the override settings to point from BOD-BWD to BOP-BWP, my connection changed accordingly. Everything seems ok. One day when we stop the BOD system. Dashboards in BOP are not working. Then I start BOD, everything is ok then.
The issue I got:
Internal: BOP....
External: BOD.../XcelsiusWebServices.
Is there any chance that dashboard in BOP using the BOD xcelsius web service?
I have resolved this issue by:
- Open the dashboard in BOP, then in each of the query in Query Browser, I clicked edit and click next, next until end.
- Then re-save to BOP, then it is working
For your information, I used BEx query in Query Browser only, not use BIWS.
Dashboard 4.0 SP04
BW 7.3
Does anyone face this issue before? And how you resolved it? Please kindly share with me.
Thanks,
Quan Vo.

Getting BEx query header data into Xcelsius for line chart Category Labels?

Hello - Is it possible to get header data from BEx queries into Xcelsius so they can be used for Category Labels in a line chart?
We have a BEx query that displays 16 weeks of shipment trends by column and text variables are used to display the respective date selection for each of the weeks in the query header but When connecting QaaWs to Xcelsius, the header row does not get displayed.
When using LiveOffice, the header row seems to come thru with the correct dates for each of the weeks but if you are stacking more than one connection than you will get an extra header row for each connection.
Are there any tricks to hide a header row in a LiveOffice document?
Is there anyway to display the header row from QaaWs in Xcelsius?
Any other work arounds?
Thanks,
Derek

Derek,
Below are my inputs...
-->Using QAAWS you will not be able to get the header data, so you will have to maintain header data manually in Xcelsius (Spreadsheet).
-->Using Live office you will be able to get the header data, and if you are using multiple live office connections, then you need to use cell reference formulas and format the spreadsheet (Xcelsius) as you require.

BICS - Passing Mandatory Filter Variable value to a BEx Query

Hi All,
I have similar problem as the below URL.
BICS - Passing variables to a BEx Query
Details:
I have a mandatory filter - Display Currency in BEx query. I'm trying to input this mandatory filter from Xcelsius, (by mapping the filter value to a cell in Xcelsius spreadsheet).
However, when I lauch the dashvoard in IE page, it still throws an error:
" One or more mandatory varaibles of the query... are not filled"
Does anyone face this issue?
Regards,
AK

Hi Sriram,
I assume you are using SAP direct connectivity.
>> Yes, it is direct connectivity to SAP-BW.
(And I'm publishing this dashboard in SAP-BW system itself.)
1. What are all the Variables you get in intial variable screen?
because if you have a Mandatory variable in your Bex query, a intial variable screen will appear with all the variables.
>> I'm testing the underlying BEx query, it has one mandatory variable for "Display Currency". Other are optional variable-filters, so other filters are not a problem.
2. when you get this error "One or more mandatory varaibles of the query... are not filled", just after the Launch or after the variable screen?
>> I use the option in Xcelsius: SAP --> Launch --> a new IE page opens, then I get this error
3. However you can bye pass this screen only when you give default values to your mandatory variables.
>> When I use personalization in BEx side, to input default value (e.g: USD), and then run this standard content dashboard, the hangs.(Do not see anything on IE page for long time. Though the data is very less-Few hundres rows)
So, I'm looking at passing the value from Xcelsius-spreadsheet, however, the dashboard is not picking up the value from the mapped-cell.
Hope this gives more clarity on the problem.
Cheers,
AK

BEx Query Columns come back in different Order after drill?

I have a strange effect when I work with BEx Queries in Xcelsius.
On default, I open and display the Bex Query "A". Columns are in order like defined in BEx Designer (Column1, Column2, Column3.....)
I want to do a drill, and so in Xcelsius BEx Connection settings I set the Filter on Field "X" in the XLS and in "Query Usage" I addionally apply the setting "Refresh when Trigger Cell "X" changes".
Starting the report works fine. But when I do the drill and the Query refreshes, the BEx Query Columns come back in different order?!?
It looks as if Column 2 and Column 3 are exchanged.
How can I fix that?
Thx,
B. Wegner

After some testing....
This issue is independent from the filter value. But it only seems to occure when a second BEx Query connection is defined.
The BEx Query Data Columns come back in different order after
- Refresh on Trigger
- Refresh after XY Seconds
Any Ideas?

How can we achive this
In Bex query design

Column - 0Calday
Thanks,
Chandra

We do not have any direct setting in BEx to do it. You can write a VB macro code in BEx to achieve this.

How to migrate SAP Bex Query to BO report

Hi All,
I want to migrate some of the reports from Bex Query to SAP BO.
Will you suggest me what are the best ways to do this,Whether there are any tools to do this??
Regards,
Shiva Kumar G.C

Hi,
When you say migrate do you mean to use BOBJ for reporting?
If your answer is yes then other questions come into picture.
What type of reports you have in SAP- Adhoc, WAD, Formatted etc?
BusinessObjects is combination of some tools.
WebI is a web base tool and mostly used for Adhoc. You will have to create a Universe on the top of your Bex Query and then WebI Document (WebI Report)
Crystal Reports is used for formatted reporting. You will create connection on the base of your requirement. You can create a Universe or make a direct connection with your InfoProvider and then create your reports. Use MDX functionality to create Reports.
Crystal Xcelsius is used for dash board reporting.
And if your answer is no to above question and you want to migrate your reports to BOBJ like and upgrade without recreating the reports then it is not possible.

Bashir Awan

BICS - Passing variables to a BEx Query

Hi Experts,
We are currently developing dasboards in Dashboard Design (XCelsius) using BICS. Since we want to leverage the 'create once, reuse many times' principle, we would like to populate our (data intensive) dashboard using 8 connections that fill out different values in one and the same BEx Query. The results (8 crosstabs) will be put in our embedded sheet on 4 different tabs.
All data has to be refreshed before components are loaded (so this option is set for all connections).
Furthermore, we set the 8 connections with the following parameters:
[definiton tab].[input values].[variables].[BEx variable] > link to a cell containing tech name of input value
[definition tab].[input values].[filters].[key figures] > link to a cell containing the tech name of the key figure we want to display in the crosstabs.
Now, we are facing 2 problems:
1. The variables are not automatically passed to the BEx query (we see a BEx web variable input screen on launch)
2. The key figures are not filtered (we did set the tech key i.e. 8KPM8AAGH55L3ONGZC0Y27FBG)
Does anyone have similar experiences, using BICS and (ideally) found a solution yet? I'd like to avoid creating 8 different BEx queries to solve this. Thank you in advance!
KR, Bart Santing

Hi,
You have to map the excel cell to the exact keyfigure or vriable.
For example.
I have two filters in my BEx Query. Calendar Year & Country
For mapping these filters expand the ==>Filters in Data Manager of xCelsius. Then you can see Calendar Year and Country. Map Calendar Year to an excel cell as well as map the country to another excel cell.
Do this same for variable also.
Thanks,
Ajish George

SAP BEx query's Conditions and Exceptions on BO Universe

We are planning to create Conditions and Exception on SAP BEx Query. And provide this query to BO team for their development
Could anyone tell me in what form will these BEx objects be visible in BO-Universe ....as detail objects...or query filters and a.s.o?
Will they be Invisible? If invisible will they be atleast applied to BO-Universe.
For e,g: I know that, BEx Query filter will be applied to the underlying query but are not visible in OLAP universe.
- Anil

Hi,
Conditions and Excpetions are not supported by OLAP BAPI tehrefore they are not generated in universes or consumed at query level.
You have to create conditions on measures in universes (except top end bottom exceptions that are not supported).
Exceptions need to be done at cliient level (Webi, XCelsius, etc).
I BOE CI 4.0 conditions will be supporte by the Semantic Layer direct acces with BICS but exceptions will continue to be created at client level.

IF and ABS condition statement in BEX query designer

Hi,
I would like to ask the best way for me to produce an acceptable result from Excel IF and ABS Condition statement.
The condition statement that I have on my Excel file is
=IF((A2-B2)>0,ABS(A2-B2),0)
I'm trying multiple times to reproduce this in BEX Query designer, unfortunately I'm getting a bad result or unacceptable formula.
Anyone who could help me with my issue?
Thanks,

Error while trying to Open and Delete a BEx Query in Query Designer.

Hi Experts,
I have been facing this issue with BEx Query in Designer mode for a couple of days now in Development Environment in BI 7.0.
I would like to Delete an unwanted BEx Query because I need to give it's name to another BEx Query.
Whenever I try to Open this Query in BEx Query Designer to Delete, it gives out an error saying:
"An error occurred while communicating with the BI server.
As a result of this error, the system has been
disconnected from the BI server.
Detailed Description:
STOP: Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
STOP: System eror in program CL_RSR and form GET_CHANMID-01 - (see long text)"
Details text is as below:
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
I have tried with SAP Note 899572, but still it's the same.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Could you please let me know if you have better ideas or solution?
Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Arun - Thanks a million. You saved me Nine. It worked.
Could you also please tell me how to rename (Technical) a Query or is it still "Save the Query As" the only way...?
Points already assigned.
Thanks,
Chandu
