XI3 & BI7

Please assist.
I'm using a web service data source and populating BI via XI. Once the load comes into BW, the monitor request changes to yellow status. This process never closes as it should even though on the Info Package has been set to close itself after 1 hour. This is very frustrating and if anyone can help me it would be worth losts of points...
Does anyone now how to fix this, or if possible anyone who has done an XI 3 to BI 7 landscape integration sucessfully.

Hi Mahesh,
Few questions though...R/3 to BI via SAP??????? Why on earth would you want to do that? BI has its own extractor - SAP Connect - Which does this for you...
Oh and by the way, i did solve the whole solution end to end to Integrate XI 3 to BI 7 and just to inform all those out there, it's NOT as straight forward as the HowTo guides indicate.
There are alot of things to be done:
    a.    Create the WebService Datasource in BW
    b.    Create an InfoPackage on the WebService DataSource
    c.    Create a Real-Time DTP
    d.    Set up the proxy according to the HowTo guide
    e.    Assign a Daemon to the InfoPackage
    f.    Assign the DTP to the Daemon
Now here it starts becommong interesting. The InfoPackage has a setting to close the request after 1 hour is passed, this doesn't happen no matter what you do. The Request will close after 100k records, and honestly...that is not Real-Time using a push from XI if you ask me...
As for the Daemon, it can be set to gather info from the Delta Queue every minute, but will not close the request once it has the data, but is dependant on the InfoPackage setting that says that it will close after 100k records, because as said, the 1 hr option is NOT working. This is apparantly fixed in Service Release 14.
So for the Grand Finale, you need to use some of your ABAP skills that you've accumulated over the past years and write 2 small little programs that call 2 different function modules which does the following:
    a.    It stops the Daemon - this automatically closes the request and the data
           is then automatically uploaded via the DTP to the data target which
           is normally a DSO seeing that a Cube cannot be used as a Data Target in
           a Real-Time Scenario. VERY NB!!!! - YOU MUST ACTIVATE THE
           DSO BEFORE you can load data via the Daemon again.
    b.    The other function module will then start the Daemon again.
Daemon beheviour - or as i call it Demon behaviour after the struggle - is simple in the fact that once the Daemon is active it generates an empty request that lies and waits for data. Once the Daemon is closed it releases that request. If you restart it, it will generate a new request.
Just a pitty i am not allowed to score myself...

  • Request MDX syntax for BOE XI3.0 and SAP BI7

    Hi,
    Does anyone know that where I can find a document to specify the MDX syntax that can be used for BOE XI3.0 and SAP BI7?
    I found a related topic on:
    Resources for customizing SAP Universe objects with MDX
    But after go through the above thread, the feeling is that we can only get the answer by testing each of the syntax.
    Could anyone share any ideas to this topic?
    Thanks and regards
    nora

    Hi Ingo,
    Here is the example that customer gave:
    Per you request, a real example. The following objects were created,                                                               
    when an universe was set up against a BEx Query:                                                                               
    Notation A: [0LOCNOTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTA].[Value]                                                                               
    Notation B: [0LOCNOTB].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTB].[Value]                                                                               
    Notation C: [0LOCNOTC].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTC].[Value]                                                                               
    Notation D: [0LOCNOTD].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTD].[Value]                                                                               
    User Status: [0LOCUSTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCUSTA].[Value]                                                                               
    Want to be able to create an object, CFact, defined in the universe as                                                             
    (shown in Oracle syntax here, but of course we have a SAP OLAP                                                                     
    universe thus our request for a MDX syntax for BO and SAP BW/BEx Query):                                                                               
    decode([0LOCNOTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTA].[Value],'Y','FAIL;','')                                                                   
    ||decode([0LOCNOTB].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTB].[Value],'Y','CDMN;','')                                                                  
    ||decode([0LOCNOTC].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTC].[Value],'Y','BSFR;','')                                                                  
    ||decode([0LOCNOTD].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTD].[Value],'Y','ERR;','')                                                                   
    ||substr([0LOCUSTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCUSTA].[Value],1,4)                                                                               
    Say, if values for the objects are 'Y', 'N', 'Y', 'N',                                                                             
    and 'INACESSIBLE', respectively, CFact would have the data                                                                         
    FAIL;BSFR;INAC                                                                               
    Hope the above provides you with enough detail.

    Ajaykumar,
    You have BI and BO installed and running on good environment,Correct??
    Only you need SAP Integration Kit installed.
    After installing successfully.
    Create master BEx query. Go to Properties -->> Extended tab -- Allow external access to OLAP (Incase of BW3.x)
    Create master BEx query. Go to Properties -->> Advanced tab -- Allow external access OLAP (BI7.0)
    Now go to Universe Designer:
    -->> Name Universe and Click on Connection -- New
    -->> Connection parameter dailog box -- It prompt for many options like:
    Authentication Mode:User/Pass or BO mappings or SSO
    User Name:
    Password:
    Language:EN
    Application Server: <SAP BI system details--IP address>
    System ID:<SAP BI ID>
    System No:<SAP BI NO>
    Logon Group:(greyed out)
    Message Server:(greyed out)
    -- Click on Next
    -- Here, you can see all OLAP cubes ($Infocubes) and Folders for BEx query based/Multiproviders.
    -- Select the required one.
    -- Click Next -- Next -- FINISH
    OK
    Now you can see lict of *Classes and Objects* and not Universe structure as we are on SAP BI system.
    (In Universe Designer window)
    Go to -- File -->> Export -- (Select any folder, where you have access)
    Now, *logon to Infoview*:
    -- Document list
    -- New-->> New Web Intelligence Document
    It will list out all Universe those are exist in repository.
    Choose the exported one.
    Now you are in *Web Intelligence Report panel*.
    -- Drag any objects like Dimension/Detail or Measure to Result Objects pane (to see them in Report)
    or
    Drag them to Query Filters section to restrict the data.
    --Click on Run Query
    -- Now Report you can see.
    If you want to create Report 2:
    Just Right click on Report1 and say Duplicate or New Report.
    Hope I cleared all your doubts.
    Thank You!!

  • Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

    Hi guys
    According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
    Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
    Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?

    Thanks Krishna
    I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
    I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
    Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
    Can anyone help?

  • LDAP SSO to database in XI3.1

    Hi  All,
    We are using XI3.1 and trying to find a solution for configuring LDAP single sign on to database and have not been able to find any material on that matter.
    Is it possible to configure LDAP SSO to database (Oracle 11) natively? Or is there a third party tool like siteminder that can make that configuration work? Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    V

    It should work natively.
    In the CMC > Authentication > LDAP there is an option for propogate credentials at logon time. This option will cause LDAP users to have their username/pw cached in their user account (in fields called DBuser/DBpass). Then you must configure your reports to use these fields. If using reports based of universes you need to set the universe connection to use DB credentials, if crystal then it's a bit more complicated and you may need to log a case to get the instructions.
    If using SSO on the front end with siteminder or trusted auth then the LDAP propogate option will not work (it requires users to key in their user/pw).

    Tim

  • Delta not working after upgrade from 3.5 to BI7.0

    Hello All,
    We have recently upgraded from BW3.5 to BI7.0 and the standard delta is not working now after the upgade. The name of the Extractor is 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1.
    Did anyone come across this problem before or  can anyone suggest the solution.
    Thanks
    Madhu

    Hi Madhu,
    I've experienced a similar problem with this extractor.  I attempted to Initialize Delta with Data Transfer to no avail.  The job ran for 12+ hours and stayed in "yellow" status (0 records extracted).  The following steps worked for me:
    1.  Initialize Delta without Data Transfer
    2.  Run Delta Update
    3.  Run Full Update and Indicate Request as Repair Request
    Worked like a champ, data load finished in less than 2 minutes.
    Hopefully this will help.
    Regards.

  • On Demand Surround Sound doesn't work using X1 Xi3

    I have a Pace XG1v1 DVR and the Pace Xi3 satallites. My problem is that when I watch a program using On Demand it will not play in Surround Sound. Works perfect on the main XG1v1 box but not the satellites. Everything works fine on live or recorded programs just not the On Demand on the Xi3s! I have the Xi3 going into a Vizio TV then the optical cable coming out of it into a Sony Receiver. Yes, I have swapped out the companion boxes, keeping everything else the same, and the main box pushes the surround sound through when using On Demand. It only happens with the companion boxes; all 3 that I have! Is this a known proplem or what setting can I change to fix it? Please help.

  • No data return from BI7 via MDX drvier in Crystal report

    I have:
    Windows 2000 SP4
    SAP BI7 patch level 16
    SAP GUI 710 patch level 7 (BW3.5 addon patch 3, BI 710 patch 5)
    Crystal report XI R2 SP4
    SAP_Integration_Kit_XI R2-SP4
    and the BW tranports already imported in BI7.
    I can create a report over a Bex query in Crystal report using BW Query driver and retirved datafrom BI7
    Then I tried to create a report over the same Bex query in Crystal report using MDX driver, I got no data return from BI7.
    So I used the RSRTRACE transaction to trace the log when refreshing data in Crystal report, and then go to debug the call 10- GET_CELL_DATA and I have data from the MDX excution in BI7.
    So I think Crystal report can pass the MDX query to BI7 and BI7 can excute it without any problem, the issue is no data return to Crystal report.
    Could anyone help please?
    Thanks.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\SAP]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\SAP\BW MDX Query Driver]
    "Trace"="Yes"
    "ExcludeSummaries"="Yes"
    Above are the right code in Reg and I have tried "C:\" as well, but still no trace file created.
    I was create the CR MDX report via SAP tool bar (and I create 2 reports base on the same Bex query with MDX and BW query just to compare, that one via BW query return data from BW)
    Thanks a lot.

  • BCS Short Dumps after Upgrade (3.5 to BI7)

    Hi SDN,
    We have recently upgraded our dev system from BW3.5 to BW 7 (SEM BW 6) and following the upgrade none of the queries based on the BCS virtual info provider(Remote Cube) ZVBCS01 are working or the listcube transaction on cube ZVBCS01 in RSA1.
    Both the queries and listcube short dump with DATREF_NOT_ASSIGNED (Details  "DATREF_NOT_ASSIGNED" "SAPLUCR0"  "LUCR0U08" "PROVIDE_SEM_DATA_TABLE_3")
    We have raised a call with SAP OSS they recommended to activate the InfoObject 0BCS_REPMOD from business content and regenerate the data basis. We did all this but still experience the short dumps. (We havenu2019t assigned 0BCS_REPMOD to any Infoproviders or the data basis)
    We will be unable to upgrade to BI7 unless we can resolve this issue so any help would be appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Jamie Flaxman

    Thanks for the responses, we have managed to get BCS working now following the upgrade.
    Following the activation of the business content, I had to regen the Data Basis but the way I did it originally wasnu2019t enough to force a regeneration. So I had to make a small change to the data basis (move of field names and back again) which was enough to do the re-gen.
    We have experienced quite a few issues with the upgrade from SEM 4 to 6.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Problem with Java Script after upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI7

    Dear Colleagues,
    We're facing the issue with Java Script after upgrade of BW 3.5 to BI7.
    Just after update we checked the basic functionality and it occured that some of web templates that use Java Script don't work. They generate seelction screen, but after selection the screen becomes blank without any error messages.
    We're currently stucked since web templates weren't converted to BI7 version so they should work exactly as before the upgrade.
    We compared the Java code with other environment that was not upgraded - it's perfectly the same.
    The only explanation that comes to my mind is that some Java Script settings on the server level were changed during the upgrade but I have no idea where I can check that.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
    Andrzej Bobula

    Hi Deepu,
    Thanks, it was great to read your reply and then few minutes later talk to you live on SDN Day!
    Unfortunately, http cache clean-up did not help. But there is another funny thing I found - for exactly the same 3.5 webtemplate html code returned from WebAS 3.5 was different then from 7.0.
    Unfortunately, this editor does not allow to paste complete code, even in CODE brackets, but here are main differences:
    <b>3.5</b>
       if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
    <frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=1&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
    name="Content">
    and
    <b>7.0</b>
       if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer")!=-1)
    <frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=8&REQUEST_NO=0&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
    name="Content" 0nLoad="javascript:loadTitle()">
    (I intentionaly put 0 i/o o in 0nLoad, otherwise Forum's editor does not accept the text.
    How about SAP's claim that technical upgrade from 3.x to 7.0 changes nothing?
