SFDC Parameters to pass through BI Mobile and WEBI

$

0

Hello,

 

We are looking to create mobile links that will open WEBI reports. In the desktop version we have no issues passing parameters from SFDC to WEBI and opening a report. However, when using the same type of logic to open the report in the Business Insights APP, passing parameters doesn't seem to work.

 

my code looks like this.

 

sapbi://OpenDoc/?cms=BODMHI&isSSO=YES&server_url=https://servername&isCertificateRequired=CertificateOptional&Type=webi&SSOType=X509Certificate&authType=secLDAP&ConnectionType=BOEConnection&iDocID=AQyYmlbzkYBMi5QJHJqRUj0&lsSSelect%20Customer=0004000023

Has anyone tried to pass parameters from SFDC through the BI Mobile APP to open a WEBI report? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks G

How to show Monthly YTD value having Month in horizontal bar of cross table

$

Hi,

 

I have a calculation(little complex as it is using many other custom measures) called "inflation" it is being calculated on the basis of "from" and "to" months selected in selection criteria. If I have selected Jan to March then inflation will get calculated using data from Jan to Mar and will be displayed as below:

 

inflation1.JPG

What I want is to show inflation value on Monthly YTD basis.

 

inflation2.JPG

So in Jan value should be calculated in Jan to Jan basis in Feb it should show Jan to Feb in March inflation should get calculated in Jan to Mar basis.

Meaning when month is put in tabular format then YTD month wise calculation should work.

 

Please suggest if it can be done through any filter or any custom measure is to be created.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

I have a webi report built on Bex query. Bex query has some variable which is appearing as prompt in webi report.When a particular user runs its throwing error.Attached is the error screenshot.

The strange thing is that myself(administrator ) and some other users are not getting this error.

So is it something like related to user security/authorization issue with that user.

Security team has checked the users authorization and they say its fine. Any idea how to debug this issue.

Please help.

Report Column Using Same Value For Every Row

$
0
0

To explain my issue I need to give some simplified background data. I'm using the following fields from a Universe table:

 

Year, Account#, AccountType, AmountPeriod1, AmountPeriod2, AmountPeriod3...AmountPeriod12, UserPromptCurrentPeriod

 

Using this source data I have created two queries in Web Intelligence. The only difference between them is one of the filters. qryActuals filters on AccountType=Actual and qryBudgets filters on AccountType=Budget.

 

To keep this short, I have the following two report columns:

 

Colum Actual = variableActual where variableActual = If([UserPromptCurrentPeriod]=1) Then [qryActuals].[AmountPeriod1] ElseIf([UserPromptCurrentPeriod]=2) Then [qryActuals].[AmountPeriod2]...ElseIf([UserPromptCurrentPeriod]=12 Then [qryActuals].[AmountPeriod12]


Colum Budget uses the same idea except the variable is called variableBudget and is defined as pulling the AmountPeriod value from the qryBudgets query.

 

The Actuals column works perfectly. Every account # has the correct amount based on the period selected by the user. However, the Budgets column shows the same value for each account, which is correct only for the first account. Why is one column working but not the other? Could it be because I'm pulling the Account # for the report from the qryActuals?


Doubts about WebIntelligenceProcessingServer

Hello Experts

 

I have doubts about the servers of the BO, the WebIntelligenceProcessingServer. We had problems with this service and he stopped and did not start over. To solve, we cloned it in other 2 servers and disabled the original and BO returned to work normally.

My questions are:

- These two servers to be cloned are already considered in the Audit automatically? Is there a node between the

clones and the parent server ?

- Because the server has been disabled, the Audit shows a Warning message (warning auditing data may remain in server buffers). There is some problem delete this server? We do not intend to use it more

 

Thanks,

Hi Eperts,

InList Operator in Where Clause ---Is it "And" or "Either of"...?

$

0

I have a table like this.

 

CountryCity
FranceParis
UKLondon
USNew York
US 2New York, London

 

If I run the variable like this

 

=Count([Country]) Where (City InList("New York";"London"))

 

The answer is 1, right?

 

It will be US 2, who has both of 2 items in the list.

 

Or it will be 3?

Because UK, US, US2 all have either one of the items in the list.

 

InList means..."either one of" the items in the list?

 

I would be extremely grateful if somebody could clarify on this point...

I am getting confused here...

When making a derived table in IDT, I’m not able to add a bit field. All other fields work just fine but bit(Boolean, yes/on true/false) fields do not work. Is there a reason why this is and is there a way to fix it? We are using BI 4.1-P1-S7. Thanks for your help.


Does BusinessObjects Have Loop or If/While Functionality?

I need to calculate some Year-To-Date values from individual period fields based on the period input by the user. For example, if the user inputs the period as 9 the YTD would be a calculation of 9 fields, Period 1 + Period 2, etc. all the way to Period 9. Please don't tell me that I have to do this as a huge If/ElseIf statement in which I have to write out 12 different equations depending on which period is supplied by the user.

When in edit mode in Webi I'm getting "No business layer sent back from server"

$

First thanks in advance for those that take the time to respond. My work flow is to open a report in "Design" mode. Then Data Access/Edit. Once I go into edit mode I get a message that says "No business layer sent back from the server". Now I've read/been told a number of different things but all of them have been security related. The issue with that is you can't get to the name of the universe that the report is made of. Due to this, you can't get to the connection information either. So I can't check the security on the universe or the connection.

 

Has any one seen this error and resolved it?

 

Thanks Scott

Drilling to details from Summary report

$

Hi All,

 

I am using BI 4.1 Launchpad and trying to show dynamic hide/show of fields using drill down.

 

I have a report with:

Tab 1(summary): Section on Group# and Group Name.

 

Columns: 1. Benefit 2. Amount 3. Charge

 

Then totals of Amount and charge at the bottom.

 

Tab 2(Summary): Section on Group # and Group Name

            Section on Account# and Account Name.

 

Columns: 1. benefit 2. Amount 3. Charge

 

Then totals of Amount and Charge at the bottom.

 

Tab 3(Detail): Section on Group # and Name

Section on Account # and Name.

 

Columns: 1. Member Name. 2. Date of Birth 3. Benefit 4. Amount 5. Date A 6. Date B. 7. Date c 8. Charge

 

Then totals

 

I want to be able to show just 1 tab and drill down to the details. like if I have group #, I can drill down to account # but the group name doesn't change dynamically to account name. then I want to be able to show the details like member name, dob etc dynamically when I drill down to third level.

 

Please advice.

 

Thanks for your help.

Unspecified error invoking method or accessing property "onChangeDocID"

Hello,

 

We are currently on SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2.

Every time a new webi document is being created or changed where-in the source is defined and we are ready to design the report -- it prompts an error "Unspecified error invoking method or accessing property "onChangeDocID". This is happening with all users.

 

I have checked the note  KB 1933283 for this issue and made necessary changes. The latest version of java(version 8 update 77 - build 1.8.0_77-b03) is installed on my system as well as the security settings are set to medium; low even. I have cleared the java cache. Updated to the latest version but to no avail.

This is happening with all the users while creating new webi report or while refreshing and user is thrown out of the report.

I have followed the specified link but no help from there either. SAP seems to have stopped supporting this particular BOBJ version I reckon?

 

Appreciate any help I can get. Attaching the error log and screenshots as well.

 

Thanks,

Jemma
