Displaying WebI report parts via openDocument in BI 4.1 SP 3 Update

$
0
0

1) We are using SAP BO 4.1 SP3 Update version.

2) We have a requirement to display PARTS of webi report which has prompts as well.

3) We referred the Opendocument PDF and used the below functionality to get what we need:

sRefresh=Y&mode=part&sReportPart=UIREF:RID=1:BID=1

The problem with this is we have a Prompt X which has a value say  A B C.

So our final URL would be:

http://[servername]:[port]/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=[CUID of WebI doc]&lsSX=A B C&mode=part&sReportPart=[Reference to the report part to be shown].

4) Our problem is that if we pass parameters in Prompt X which has a SPACE (Like we have in A B C) the functionality goes for a toss. Also if we pass Dates like 01/01/2012-12/31/2012, the function doesnt work.

5) This is the problem with VIEWING PARTS OF WEBI report only. Works fine if we wanna view full report.

6) Is it a known issue ?


Create Report URL dynamically

$

0

I am sending emails to users using Publications with short summaries showing up in the body of the email. At the end of the email I want to put a link to the report so users can click on it to see the full report.

 

Since the report will be opened from the email it will need to be a full/absolute URL. However, problem with providing absolute URLs is that when I move between environments the URL would have to be manually changed too.

 

Is there any way to dynamically populate the server part in the URL so that the URL points to the right one depending on what environment the report is in/email was generated from?

Counting unique occurrences of a combination

Hi all,

 

My apologies if this has been covered already. I am trying to count the unique occurrences of combinations in the data. I am using the Business Objects 3.1 Web Intelligence Rich Client and the eFashion universe.

 

With the data as reported in the image, there are multiple stores ([Store name]) where both products Bermudas and Boatwear ([Category]) were sold, with quantity sold>2 (e.g. Austin, Boston Newbury, Chicago 33rd, etc). I would like to count the distinct stores which have sold both items.

 

I have created a variable CountStores with formula (as defined below) but it is not returning any results. What am I doing wrong?

 

=Count([Store name];Distinct) Where ([Category]="Bermudas" And [Category]="Boatwear" And [Quantity sold]>2)

Hello all,

I have a parent/child webi report linked through Hyperlink in xi3.1 db: sql 2005.

The main report has universe filter and fetch last 30 days data into a croostab report.

Upon clicking any measure under date fields, open up the child/linked detail report.

 

But this functionality is not working in 4.1. always "No data for this query"

verified universe objects, date objects, linking hyperlinks with new server name and port.

 

The child/linked report takes 2- date parameter, begin and end date.

But somehow its defaulting to 6:00 PM. meaning its setting two dates parameter values to

Start date:11/17/2014 6:00:00 PM

End date: 11/17/2014 6:00:00 PM

 

also note that i have a merge dimensions on date in webi report.

 

any thoughts?

 

 

 

 


Change Author on WebI 4.0 Report

$

Our client is using a template to develop their WebI reports and they'd like to be able to change the "Author" ID that appears in the document properties. I believe in older versions this could be done with a simple "Save As" from the template and the new document would take on the ID of the person executing the "Save As"; however this does not appear to work in 4.0. The new report generated from the "Save As" retains the Author ID from the original report. Any Ideas? Points for a correct answer!

Hello!

 

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have prompt in WebI where user can choose more different values?

For example: I created Bex variable (selection options) in some Bex query. This Bex query is the datasource in some WebI document.

And for this variable we have this prompt in WebI, where there is only interval possible.

 

We are using SAP BOP 4.1 SP4

Performance issue when using the Navigation Map to jump from section to section in a Webi Report

$
0
0

Hi,

I am seeing very strange performance issues in Webi on BI4.0  (14.0.5). I have a Webi report built on BeX queries using BICS.   A requirement for my report is to allow end users to jump from one Material Number (section) to another Material Number (Section). The material numbers are a mix of Alpha and Numeric values.  If I select a material number that is all numeric, the navigation from one section to the next is quick (under a second)  However, If the material number starts with an alpha "M" or "X" or "S" it can take upwards of 1 minute to navigate to that material number.

 

Has anyone seen this or found a solution for this performance issue?

applying row level restriction on Publication

$

Hi,

 

I am using BOXI 3.1 .

I have a requirement to create a publication to dynamic recipients and the have a row level restriction implemented.

 

To implement  row level restriction, i have created a security table in Oracle DB and created a condition VARIABLE('BOUSER') in universe and applied it as mandatory on the class.

The row level restriction works fine while running the report  Ondemand .

 

Now i want to create a publication using the BO ADMIN account and apply row level restriction.

ie, i have the created the below report which will acts as source for dynamic recipients having CEO as recipient identifier

 

CEOCEO email id
ABCABC@test.com
XYZXYZ@test.com
TTTTTT@test.com

 

On creating publication, the source report should be burst to individual CEO's and should apply row level restriction for each CEO based on the usersecurity table that i have created.

ie, in the report sent to CEO 'ABC', he should be allowed to see countries which are entitled to him as per user security table.

Please note that this works fine  in ONDEMAND since , CEO ABC logins to infoview using his NTID and row level restriction will be applied.

1)How will row level restriction work, when i create publication using BO admin account .

2) what value will be passed as output of VARIABLE(BOUSER) while creating publication using BO ADMIN account?

 

Whats the best way to implement the row level security on publication using an BO admin account?

 

Regds,

Samson

A number of these excel reports are presented in pivot tables, is there anyway with crosstabs (or another option in WEBI) that the groupings can have expand and collapse options available to the end user?

Dear all,

 

I have an issue regarding WebI.

 

My environment:

BO41. SP2

Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

CPU 2

RAM 8 GB

current user 13

Java 1.6_39 (no security issue)

 

The Issue:

  • I can't open WebI docs within BILaunchPad wether in WebI HTML nor with the Java Applet
  • Sometimes a doc is opening in Jav Applet after a long time of waiting, but cannot refresh
  • With WebI Rich Client there is absolutely no problem with that documents
  • executing a query in IDT based on the same universe is ok

 

I performed this task directly on the server.

 

Anyone has an idea why this behaviour accours?

 

Thanks for your help

 

greetings

I have a doubt while performing Integrity check.

There are two options in integrity check. One is quick parsing and second one is thorough parsing.

Page Breaks

I am new to Business Objects and currently self-teaching myself from information available online.  I am trying to create a report using one of the templates (Form).  I have pulled in several objects from a large source of but am finding the following "issues"

  • I don't know how to separate each form ensuring each one starts on a new page. At teh moment, they are running continously with new page break inbetween.  Is there a command which can be inserted at the end of the form which ensure each starts on a new page?
  • In addition, if there is more then one item in the data source, it is creating a whole new report to merely take account of the additional data so that I end up with 10 reports where I should have one.  So for example, I have a form and one object deals is "Fruit".  The data source might have a line item for Apples and another line item for Oranges and another for Bananas. When I run query, I will get three full reports, the difference being is that the first one will report Apples, the second Oranges and third Bananas.   Any ideas how to prevent this or point me to a educational resrouce?

Thank you

Hello,

 

My requirement is to bring the data from SAP BW and the images/signatures from a different server.

I am able to bring all data and the images in WebI Report...

The process I did was - I create a Formula with the URL of the image and set the propperty of the cell = Display Images-URL of images

 

The problem comes when I have to broadcast these to email ids or save  in PDF format...the images do not appear..they are blank..

 

1.I cannot store all the images in the Images folder of the BOBJ as the volume is huge

2.Is there any way I can get the images in the PDF report output where the images are coming from different server

 

Regards,

Surya
