After BIAR file restored seeing old schedules running

Thanks for you time in advance!

 

After a BIAR file was restored I'm seeing old schedules run. Meaning that old reports are emailing out. I don't see this report or schedule in cmc or webi anywhere. We're hosted so I only have access to limited tools. I've looked in all of the personal folders and public folders where the report may be scheduled from. I checked for publications. I found a blog about query builder but don't have access to that either. Basically I don't know how to find and kill these schedules.

 

We are on BO 4.1 sp3

 

Thanks Scott

Cannot merge string "Dates" in BO Webi?

using BO Webi to merge 2 BW Queries

 

Query 1, Dates (01/01/2015), Country, Sales

Query 2, Year (2015), Country, Population

 

I want to merge on Country (no problem) and Year (problem).  In Query 1 I created string variable "Year1" = FormatDate(Dates;"yyyy"), which returns value of 2015 - but BO will not allow me to merge Year1 from Query1 with Year (also a string) from Query2 

 

I have a feeling that BO still recognizes Year1 as it was originally, a date not a year.  So how can I derive a "true" year dimension from the Date?   Yes, yes, I know it would be possible if you could go back and edit the Query 1 to include year....   but that kind of change just for me will not happen, so I need to find a way to make this work on the reporting layer....   can Webi provide this level of flexibility?

Customized access levels for a user group not reflecting in Personal folders settings in CMC

Dear all,

 

I am providing design mode access to webi reports for some set of users(department heads) and view access to some others.

I had maintained  folders for each department where I have set an access level in which I have customized the export to excel/csv feature in CMC

So when users saves in this folder, he won't be able to export data to excel/csv.

 

While when user creates a new report, by default it points to favourites /personal folder settings where users is able to see all these customized features as enabled.
I want these customizations applied to his/her personal folders as well. Can anybody help me with this?

As number of users is more, I can't go and customize in each users' favourites folder settings.

Difference Total in Cross Tab

We are having trouble getting the difference of two columns totals in a cross tab in Web Intelligence. We have a report based on an Excel spreadsheet which pulls in all of the data. There is a report filter that restricts the data to just two years. If the filter is on the block we are having the same issue.

 

The problem is that we want to see the difference in total sales revenue from one year to the next. I have defined the Sales Revenue Change variable as follows...

=Last([Sales revenue]) - First([Sales revenue])

 

That works fine for each State, but not the difference between the totals for 2006 and 2005 which should be $1,826,896.80.

 

 

Any suggestions on how to do this?

 

We are on 4.1 SP06 Patch 4.

 

Thanks,

WEBI input controls not working properly after migrating to BI 4.1 SP07

Hi,

 

We've just migrated to BI 4.1 SP07. Everything seems to be running fine but the input controls in the WEBI documents.

 

The input controls based on date dimensions does not filter by one value. It is OK when the "All values" is selected but anytime you select one single value the report does not retrieve any data.

 

The second wrong behaviour I have seen is that the values in some of the input controls are not sorted properly. They are sorted alphabetically but by blocks, not the whole list of values.

 

Has anyone experienced some of this behaviours when migrating to BI 4.1 SP07?

 

Thanks in advance,

Cascading/Nested LOV in Derived table subquery

Hello All,

 

I have created Cascading LOV's in universe and have applied them in the subquery in derived table. The query works fine in Universe query panel however it gives error when the query is ran in Web Intelligence.

 

Error: "Cannot build the query or generate the report. (WIS 30351) (WIS 30351)"

 

Is there any step I am missing or any settings?

 

 

I also tried another approach by removing LOV's from the prompts in subquery of derived table and added a 2nd query in Webi with Cascading LOVs but the prompts are not merging.

 

 

Do you know of any other approach or how can we resolve this issue?

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

How to concatenate two numeric fields as strings?

May 13, 2015, 3:29 pm
$

I have two number fields (year and quarter) I want to concatenate. However, Webi takes the concatenation function and uses it as a mathematical operator:

 

Data:

 

FYFQ
20121
20122

 

 

Variable (FYFQ):

=Concatenation([FY];[FQ])

 

Expected Output:

FYFQFYFQ
2012120121
2012220122

 

 

However what I got was:

 

FYFQFYFQ
201212013
201222014

 

 

It seems it took the two Number fields and added them when I wanted them to be concatenated. Should I convert the FY and FQ fields into non-numeric/non-interger strings before I apply the Concatenation() function? How do I do this? I don't see a ToString() function?

 

Thanks!

Cumulative Balance Roll Up by Date & GL

I'm trying to set up a report which would display the cumulative balances by day for several GL accounts.  I have gotten to the point where my report shows the following information.

 

DateGLCumulative Balance
02/19/20164001-111111600
02/18/20164001-111111450
02/17/20164001-999999500

02/12/20164001-11111150
02/12/20164001-999999100

 

The cumulative balance's that are displaying by GL by date are correct however if there was no activity on a given day, the cumulative balance does not show up.  What I'm trying to achieve would be the following.  Notice that on days where in the previous table there was no data, the resulting value is the last available cumulative total for that GL.  How can achieve this?

Any ideas on how to capture and report data using Webi?

Hey All,

 

I am trying to recommend some tool/application that can be used to capture time spent by employees on a specific activity and then be able to report on it.

 

I am trying to stay away from MS Access due to the custom development effort and support needed. The requirement is to have 3 dropdown lists with the 2nd and 3rd one being a cascading drop downs whose selections are dependent on earlier selected data in the 1st and 2nd dropdown respectively.

 

An example would be Country, State and city where the State values are not populated unless Country is selected and same thing with the City.

 

The data can be captured using MS SQL server database and I can then create a universe on top for reporting purposes in Webi.

 

Any idea on how can I achieve this requirement?

 

Does Webi have the capability to enter data?

 

Thanks!

WEBI vs BEx - Performance Issues

February 23, 2016, 4:05 pm

Hi all,

 

Environment: BOBJ 4.1 SP 5 Patch 1

 

I have a WEBI report which has 5 BEx queries as data sources, ans we're using BICS connection. There about 20 pages with different layouts using those BEx reports.

 

For a very large selection, each of my BEx queries, through RSRT takes about 2 minutes to run. So I'd expect my WEBI report to take somewhere in the 10 minute range as it serializes the executions of the BEx queries. Unfortunately, WEBI is taking significantly longer, about an 60 minutes to run.

 

When checking in BW through SM66, I can see the jobs related to the BOBJ user executing that report, and I assume because of the Micro Cube concept, I see about 20 jobs pop up and complete, which probably relate to each of the pages in my report.

 

I have managed to set up a trace, and identify the views that WEBI generates for each of those pages. However, when I run those views through RSRT1, they all complete really fast.

 

So I'm struggling to identify where my bottleneck is:

 

  • Individual RSRT executions run in an acceptable time (2mins);
  • The views WEBI generates run really fast (<30s each);
  • Doesn't seem that the bottleneck is WEBI since almost all of the processing is happening in BW;

 

Am I missing something or looking in the wrong places?

 

Any help is truly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

 

Marcelo

Wrong Value in Hiearchy in Webi after refresh (Nodes are missing)

Hi all,

 

I am facing a problem with my Webi Report.

 

I have in my table one hierarchy. If i refresh my report i am getting not the right value. Some Hierarchy Nodes are missing. But when i right click on the table and say please open or close Hiearchy then i am getting the lost Hierarchy nodes and the my values are the right one.

Do somebody what actually this  behaviour is in Webi?

 

For Example After refresh ( Change Date Prompt from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2011 to 01.01.2012 - 31.12.2012)

 

Output:

 

Hierarchy Node-1 Value 1

Hierarchy Node-2 Value 2

Sum                          3

 

Expecting output

 

Hierarchy Node-1 Value 1

Hierarchy Node-2 Value 2

Hierarchy Node-3 Value 3

Hierarchy Node-4 Value 4

Sum                      10

 

The expecting value i am only getting after open/or close the hierarchy in the refreshed report.

 

Maybe somebody have a tip for me how to solve this problem.

 

Current System : SAP BO 4.1 SP5 Patch 6. Report is based on a Bex Query.

 

Thanks you in advance.

We have created many webi reports on top of BEx query. Now customer needs the list of BEx queries and their related webi queries.

One way that i know is,

WEBI report---->Edit datasource--->Universe outine(with result objects, prompt etc)--> Here i can see the technical name of the BEx  query.

 

This manual activity is a real pain. Is there any quick way of getting it?

Cannot export a linked universe

Hi all!

 

This is a little bit urgent.

 

We're running BMC Analytics 8.1 (Business Objects 4.0.)

 

I have created a new universe, let's say "Test ITSM" (derived), and linked it to the OOB universe, "ITSM" (core). I have added several objects and also created joins from the derived universe to the core universe. It works fine in our pre production environment (created reports using "Test ITSM"). I have also managed to export the "Test ITSM" to production environment via Promotion manager in CMC.

 

In production environment when import "Test ITSM" via the Universe Designer Tool, it crashes every time I do this, but I can find and open "Test ITSM" from the file system. As expected "Test ITSM" displays objects and classes from both derived and core universe, it looks OK. I can import and export the core universe "ITSM" without problem. But when I try to export "Test ITSM" seperately I get error "Unable to export because a linked universe could not be found in cms. The linked universe may be deleted." When I run webi rich client and try to connect to ITSM Test I get error "No business layer sent back from server".

 

- Both universes have the exact same DB connection

- Both universes are displayed in CMC /Universes and both of them has a relationship to one another (Tools /Check relationship)

 

I have tried to export only the derived universe and then both of them.

 

Has this something to do with different repository id's?

Is it possible to fix this?

Report with multiple queries (and links) - results different in Webi and Deski

Hi experts,

 

I'm trying to reproduce a report in webi based on a Deski report, but I don't obtain the same results and I do not know how to solve the problem.

 

Here the report in DESKI:

 

  • The results:

     Capture1.PNG

  • In the report there are variables:
    • Committed in Forcast = If (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>="F") Then <Committed amount CNT-CT> Else 0
    • Committed in Real = If (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>="R") Then <Committed amount CNT-CT> Else 0

 

  • Fore the columns there are formula:
    • Current Budget = <Budget Initial>+<Total movement amount>
    • Amount committed in status real = Sum(<Committed in Real> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>))
    • Amount committed in status forecast = Sum(<Committed in Forcast> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>))
    • Total Real + Forecast = (Sum(<Committed in Real> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>)))+(Sum(<Committed in Forcast> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>)))

 

  • The links between queries:

Capture - links.PNG

These results are correct.

 

Here the report in WEBI:

 

  • The results:

  

     In order to show the bad results (in yellow) I have done 3 tables:

Capture2.PNG

 

Only the two last tables are completely correct but don't display all data...

In the 1st table the amounts for the 2 last columns are false (apparently accumulated).

In the second table I have reproduced the same table like in the DESKI report (by adding the "Project ID_complete" column in order to have the link between the queries DF and ABAC), the amount in the 2 last columns are now correct, but the columns with formula have not the good results and I don't know how to solve that.In the.

 

  • The formula are the same that the DESKI version.
  • Here the links for merging data:

Could you please help to understand the problem and the difference between the both tools. Could you please try to help me to solve the problem?
