Hi,
Is there any way to copy multiple data from excel and paste it as a input for BO WebI report ? Business users enter 300 or 500 orders one by one to the list and run the report. Is there any way to paste 300 or 500 records at a stretch in the BO input.
WebI Input type list.
Bex Query as a source
Version BOXI 3.1 SP5
Thanks,
Shak.
I am on BI 4.1 SP1 and build a report that has a Input Control that has a custom list of values. I use this to change the values in another variable. I have tested everything. I know that I only get this error when: I have the report set to Refresh on Open, in HTML viewer, and the first click on my report is this Input Control. If I use other Input Controls first, drill, or go to another report in the document first, the error will not. My problem is that our Executive want this to be the first page, view it in HTML, and I have to have it refresh on open. After you hit OK on the error, the Input Control works as expected.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
Hello,
I am working on scheduling reports.
One report is repeatedly occuring in the user mail box I want to pause this action.
Can anyone help me where I can find that option.

Hi,
We have our Development and Testing BO on the same machine which is BO 3.1 and for Report development we have reports in the folder structure Development folder/Subfolder1 and for Testing we copy the reports to Testing/Subfolder1.
No we have developed reports with hyperlinks using opendoc which use the iDocId and so when we copy the reports from dev to Testing we have to update the hyperlinks with the new iDocId as a copy creates a new iDocId. The problem is that we have many reports and each of them have several links and updating the iDocId is not feasible each time as we move to Testing phase.
So we looked at using the sPath and sDocName, but even in sPath we have to mention the entire Path and we end up with the same problem.
Is there a way to make the link dynamic to look at the report called in the current folder when the calling report is located ? Or any other function which can give us the iDocId or the Path of the report dynamically in webi.
Also since we will be soon migrating to BO4.0 and I came across that sPath is deprecated in BO4.x so a solution for dynamically coing the links would help using the iDocId.
thanks
Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me.
I am new to Webi (8 weeks in!) and I am using WEBI 4.0 .
I have created a report which is grouped by the dimension Group [Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 etc]. I have set this to be a section on my report and I have created some totals by these groups. However I now need to create some summaries of these groups. For example add groups 1,2,3,4 together, then 5,6,7 then 5,6,8 etc.
I an sorry if this sounds simple but I just cant see to work out how to do it.
Many thanks and again apologies for my lack of knowledge.
Hello All,
I have a requirement in a webi report where I have Manager ID in the prompt of the query. This is a single selection and is a optional prompt. So when the user runs the report and selects a Manager ID in the report it is displayed at the top where I have used a Reportfilter function.
Now for example there are 500 Manager ID's and when the user doesnt select any ID and runs the report the reportfilter shows all the Manager IDs.Is there a way that instead of showing all 500 IDs, it displays ALL when user doesnt select any Manager ID?
Thanks,

For one of our Webi document/report which was promoted to Production behaves differently than other reports in 4.1 SP2 environment.
As soon as i double click on it, it asks me to save the Excel output of last saved instance.
I checked Output format properties for this document and it's correctly set as "Web Intelligence".
| The Refresh on open option on the Document is set to | Off |
However, if i right click and say view it refreshes, Not sure why it could behave this way !! Any idea?
Also, is there a way on CMC to to set Refresh on Open option as "ON"?
Thanks,
Tilak
Hello,
is there possibility to remember user selected value in prompt and show it as a default when the user runs the report next time? The prompt feature in webi "keep last values selected" - keep the last value of the prompt with which the report was saved and will be shown for all user as preselected value.
Regards
Aleksandra
So is there a way to clear the Webi v4.1 SP1 input control selections for every report every time the user refreshes the document?
Below is the discussion from a previous post that I am moving to a new discussion:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3164391
====
To piggy back on this question (because that is how I found this forum post via search), in v4.1 SP1 the Webi input controls are remembering my last selection but I don't want them to.
How do I turn off this feature?
Thanks,
Brett
Hi Brett,
Normally input control selection should not remember old values unless you save the report with data after making the selection...
Also I would suggest to always open new discussion if the subject of discussion or BOE version used is different.. This discussion was related to prompt rather than input control..
The idea is to make things clear in a discussion so to help a fellow SCN user to find a topic discussed easily in future while searching for a similar issue

Hi,
I'm facing an issue with dates being compiled incorrectly in an American format in the SQL code of Webi queries.
This produces the error below because the databases want dates in the English UK format:
Database Error: [Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0] : the conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out of range datetime value (IES 10901) (WIS 10901)
My system is BI Platform 4.1 SP1 on Windows 2008 R2 Standard.
The server o/s is set to English UK, and UK date formats.
The browser (IE 10) is set to render pages in UK English.
The user preferences in BI Launchapd are set to English and UK English respectively.
The unv universes involved have been exported from Designer where the language options were set to English UK and 'migration forced'.
The SQL usernames involved in the connections are all using British English.
When I run a report if I include a date filter, the calendar icon in the query panel puts dates into the filter in an American format which is incorrect, but even if they are input in the correct UK English format (dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss) then the SQL is generated in the American format again (MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss) and the database causes the error.
The connections here are all OLEDB and I have tried adding the old USER_INPUT_DATE_FORMAT parameter to the sqlsrv.prm file in the ...dataAccess\connectionServer\oledb folder.
Adding this parameter along with the UK English date format enables the queries to run in the IDT installed on the server when I convert th eunv to unx (even if we switch between local and server middleware), but no where else.The unx then still shows the same behaviour as the unv when used in a query in webi.
Webi in the browser and Webi Rich Client do not take any notice of this parameter even after repeated connection server restarts.
This 4.1 system has recently been migrated from 3.1 SP5 where everything was working fine - we are using the same settings as far as we can given the differences in the products and files.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
thanks
Keith
Hello people, to export a Bex Query in the Webintelligence the Keyfigure show 4.8E9 instead of 4,800,000,000.00. I try to fix the problem through the decimal options and the Scaling Factor, but the problem persist.
Anyone knows how to organize the representation of thousands and decimals in WebIntelligence?
Thanks for your Help

Any ideas how to input the DEC 2014 in the prompt?

Hi Experts,
Let me first quickly explain the security model we've got in place for Webi : We have two kinds of access level in place 1) Power Users and 2) Report Readers, any one in IT dept has power user access and any end user is Report Reader, a Report Readeronlyhas the ability to access reports designed for their requirements and the most they can do is make Prompts selection(by refreshing the report) and drag and drop data to and from the Report to the Availiable Objects panewith no access to Query Panel at all .
My requirement : I want Report Readers to get the Prompt screen as soon as they open their report (somewhat like Office Analysis) instead of refreshing the reports to get to the prompt screen, is there any way we can accomplish this ?
Thanks

BEx query has Hierarchy Node Variable with Authorization as processing type. Its set as User Input ready
When the Webi report is refreshed, the LoVs appear as per the Authorization. However, if user doesn't select any value (pushes from right to left in variable screen) he gets NOT_AUTHORIZED error. Which is not intended, it should check the authorization in the background via SAP exit and populate the result. This is how it runs inBEx query.
However, in Webi it's giving NOT_AUTHORIZED error? This is how the product is designed to work or is it a bug.
I see several forum threads and SAP KBAs/notes but they are not answering my question. Could anyone please help.
I am ready to provide more details on this error.
Thanks,
