Hello,

 

I am trying to calculate the difference between current year and prior year's numbers at the division, region, district levels, but because of the way the data is layed out I am not able to get the calcultion to work. I am pretty sure I need to change the context of the calculation but I can't seem to get it right.

 

I have a break on Year and Division. The numbers in the difference column below is what I am trying to get to.

 

Thanks for any help, Maria

Hi All,

 

Have it a wall with this one and i have a feeling this is something really easy that i am just not able to see.

 

I have a webi Report with a column say "Sample" that has "1" and "0"

 

I am doing a calculation directly on the column at the report level saying: IF (Sample) > 0 Then "Y" else "N"

 

All i need to do is find a way to Calculate all the "Y"s and post the totals on the last cell of the column.

 

I tried using in that cell but it doesn't work "=Sum(If ([Sample]) = "Y" then 1 else 0)"

 

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

How to evaluate a field over multiple rows. Trying to create variable.

Hello!

 

I'm working with data for customers where one of the fields is saved in the originating software as a table. I need to be able to evaluate the entries in this field as a group for each customer. I'm having a bear of a time trying to figure out how to create the variable so it gives me what I need.

 

I'm not able to work with SQL so I'm limited to what is available within the Webi variable builder.

 

This is an simplified example of what I'm looking at:

 

Customer#   Date          Document

 

1                   5/8/2015    Receipt

1                   5/8/2015    Order

1                   5/8/2015    Delivery

 

 

I need to create a variable that puts all the documents together so I can then create some formatting rules based on the variable.

 

For example. If the variable gives me [Receipt, Order, Deliver], I can create a rule that says "If [variable] matches "*Delivery*" and not [variable] matches "*Receipt*"] then 1 Else 0". From there I can tell the system to highlight each entry where this rule is true as red.

 

I'm working with about 15-20 documents per customer. The document types are never in the same order so I can't use the previous function.

 

Any suggestions you may have would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Summation of values with same keys

Hello,

 

one of our customer has a requirement to select a so called "function group" by using input controls.

The function group is defined by a unique key (function group 1 --> "VAKU"; function group 2 --> "VAKU-KRAN").

 

The problem is that there are no direct costs for function group 1 available. The costs are only available on function group 2.

 

Now I would like to sum up all values with the key i.e. VAKU* in function group 2 and display it under VAKU in function group 1.

 

Do you have an idea/example how I can solve this problem by using i.e nofilter() and pos() function when a filter selection is done?

 

I have attached screenshots with the two tables and the defined input control.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Tobias

Problem in Running Queries using Sybase ASE

CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting

 

Dear All,

 

 

 

We are facing this error message when running queries in web intelligence:

 

 

 

Database error: ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal directory control layer error: Requested server name not found..

 

 

 

The universe is created in a client Designer with these specs:

 

 

 

OS: Win XP

 

Sybase Driver: Adaptive Server Enterprise Open Client 15.00.00.152 (SYBDRVODB.dll)

 

Client version: BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2

 

 

 

The BusinessObjects server has these specs:

 

 

 

OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS 2.6.9-42

 

Sybase Driver: libsybdrvodb.so

 

Server Version: BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2

 

 

 

The Database server where we are retrieving data is on a separate machine and has the following specs:

 

 

 

OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 2.6.18-53

 

Sybase Server Version: Sybase ASE version 12.5

 

 

 

We've installed DSN on the BusinessObjects Server and here are the configuration:

 

 

 

These are the contents of the odbcinst.ini file

 

[Adaptive Server Enterprise]

 

Description             = Sybase ODBC Driver

 

Driver          = /opt/BUSINESS_OBJECTS/ASE12/DataAccess/ODBC/lib/libsybdrvodb.so

 

FileUsage               = -1

 

UsageCount              = 1

 

 

 

These are the contents of the the odbc.ini file

 

[SERVER_READER]

 

Description             = Sybase ODBC Data Source

 

UserID          = sa

 

Password                = <password value>

 

Driver          = Adaptive Server Enterprise

 

Server          = 192.168.6.18

 

Port            = 5000

 

Database                = STAGING1

 

UseCursor               = 1

 

 

 

The interfaces file in the $SYBASE directory contains:

 

SERVER_READER

 

        master tcp ether 192.168.6.18 5000

 

        query tcp ether 192.168.6.18 5000

 

 

We've tested the connection from the client machine to the database server and it works successfully. We've also tested the connection of the DSN from BusinessObjects Server to Sybase ASE server and it works perfectly too.

I think we've done it correctly but still we cannot get through the

error. Are we missing something here? Can anyone please help us in this

issue?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Join in multisource enabled universe using IDT

Hi Gurus,

 

I have a requirement where I am using,

 

1. An SAP cube via JCO and

2. A Oracle DB connection

 

and creating a multi source enabled universe using the above 2 sources.

 

The common field on which I have to join these 2 sources is order number. However in the SAP cube the number is in a different format ie

 

for example in SAP the field is = 12345

in Oracle DB table it always has a prefix "CI" like = CI12345

 

but these 2 fields are one and the same field and the join has to be on these 2 fields.

 

But how can I join because the contents are different. How can I remove the leading 2 characters "CI' from Oracle table and make the join?

 

Please help me with this req.

 

Thank you

Merge dimension Does not work from two data sources

May 11, 2015, 2:45 am

Hi

 

We are using Merge dimension for a report.

 

Summary :

 

We have Network Product code and Text;TSA Product code and text; as dimension objects

 

Net sales :Measure .

 

Cognos Product is available on one data provider.

 

So In order to get Net sales from Cognos perspective we are using merge dimension based on Net work product and TSA product.

 

We do have Network product and TSA Product from both the data providers and so merge is based on both.

 

But when we just take the Cognos and revenue in the table it gives just one value and not consolidated

 

for eg

 

Cognos product               Net sales 

 

BB other Products                123

BB Y Product                         123

BB Z product                          123

 

 

But if

 

Cognos Product           TSA Product      Network product      Net sales

 

BB other product                abc1               xyz1                              23

BB other  product               abc1               pqr1                              56

 

BB other product                                                                            123 (This value again gives the one sum vales ) The format is break here applied

 

BB Y product                     def1               lmn1                                  67

 

 

etc

 

 

 

So this is the problem I used force merge for each In  but nothing is succedded.

 

Force merge works well with excel but not with different data providers.

 

I have one Both the universes and database is Teradata and SQL server

 

Thanks and Regards

Gaurav.

WEBI report : Problem with 1:N relationship???

Hi All,

 

Actually I got one scenario while working on WEBI report.

 

First of all my table structure and data is as follows :

 

Customer NoProduct IDOrder IDCredit LimitTotal Amount
1P1O110000200
1P2O210000300
2P3O320000500
2P3O420000400
3P4O530000600
3P5O630000700
4P6O740000800

 

Now, I have two data Providers :

 

In DP 1 , I am taking Customer No,Product ID,Credit Limit

& in DP 2, I am taking Customer No,Order ID,Total Amount.

 

Now I would like to see output as shown in table above.

 

How can I solve the issue with considering above scenario only.

I have already tried following methods :

 

Method 1: Merge Customer No object , then create the detail for Order ID object but I am getting #multivalue error because of 1 : N cardinality.

 

1 customer having more then 1 order and also more then 1 products.

 

So, Please let me know the logic\method how anyone can achieve this in WEBI.
