Webi report performance issues

Hello,

 

We have a webi report being refreshed monthly.It was running fine till last month but this month it is not getting refreshed even after multiple attempts, be it business or non business hours.

The schedule shows a success but there is no data in the report. Even by running it at the DB level no data comes up and query keeps executing continuously with no result.

There are several nested loops, union operators in the report SQL.

Can anyone please suggest how to troubleshoot this?

ENV: Bo 4.1 sp6

WebI measure objects from Excel data-providers behave like dimensions?

June 2, 2016, 11:04 pm

Hello,

 

since weeks I am stuck with unpredictable behavior of Web Intelligence and I hope you can help me understand the issue.

 

I wanted to reproduce this example: Merge Dimensions and extended merge in Webi

As I have no influence on our business universes, I created and uploaded an Excel file with two sheets, each holding the data of one of the example's tables. In WebI, I created two data-providers from this excel file, "Employers" and "Customers", containing two dimensions and a measure, like you can see in the reference's 3rd screenshot. Finally I've merged [Employers].[Emp Id] and [Customers].[Cust Id] to a merged dimension called [Merge Id].

 

Then I intended to build the table displayed as 4th screenshot. Dragging [Merge Id] into the canvas creates a 1-column-table with all 9 rows (=Full Outer Join). So far so good. But adding [Salery] as second column reduces the table to 4 rows (=Left Join on Customer), while instead adding [Revenue] as second column reduces the table to 5 rows (=Left Join on Customer). And finally adding both Measures [Salery] and [Revenue] results in #DATASYNC and #CONTEXT (if I remember correctly). But this is exactly the behavior of unmerged dimensions from our universe.

 

I have compared to two queries from our universe with partially overlapping records, to test whether it is possible to just add measures from different data-providers with one merged dimension. In that case, everything worked fine. That means: Using the merged dimension and both measures shows all records, each with figures in one or both measure columns.

 

By now I found out that the expected behavior can be achieved by turning the measures into details, with the (later to be) merged dimension as associated object.

 

However, I suppose this issue has nothing todo with adding dimension objects of 2nd data-provider to a common table and using details as "workaround". It is about measures, which I understood should work fine along with merged dimensions and actually do work with data from universe data-providers.

Why is it different with data from Excel data-providers? Is it documented somewhere?

 

Thank you!

Hi All,

I have a Bex Query, where I have master Data object [0CALMONTH] set as filter bringing in last 18 months data from current month. Now I want to show in webi each month as a separate column in cross tab report. Since each month is reflecting shipped Tons based on Month and lag Month.

How can create a variable in webi using the object [0CALMONTH], something like [0CALMONTH]-1 for previous month, [0CALMONTH]-2 for two months ago etc..

Need help,

thanks.

Hello,

I have a  A-OLAP query created on 2 different Calculation Views.

I would like to know what is the execution sequence ..is that one after the other or in parallel.

I understand that the new version of WEBI handles the multiple queries in parallel..

How about A-OLAP ? will the 2 Calculation views gets executed one after the other or in parallel.

Publications query SAP 4.1 sp7

Hi Guys

I have a question regarding dynamic recipients in Publications.

 

Currently, we have got 4 publications bases on 4 separate Webi reports as a source and 4 separate webi reports used for dynamic mapping for to generate recipients(Master Ids)

 

This dynamic list is based on a Universe.

Now the business requirement is to generate this dynamic list of Master Ids from an access database being maintained by the business.

 

I want to seek the advice of all you experts to guide me in the right direction.

 

What will be the most sensible way to use this list of Master Ids from the access DB?

1) Have a link to the access db in the warehouse and use this in the Universe?

2) Use it in  the Webi report as a filter to generate this list?

 

I am not sure whats the best possible way?

 

Looking forward to your suggestions...

 

 

Cheers

WEBI - Input help with Key+Text Via Universe

Hello All,

I have created a HANA Calculation view (Graphical) with variable on Company code

Assingned the label column as Company code text for Company code

I created a Universe on top of the Calculation view. In the Universe Business layer, assigned the Company code text as Attribute to Company code.

 

Despite doing all the possible assigned of Company code text to Company code, at the WEBI level, I only see the Key of the Company code and not the Key + Text as any one would expect and like to see..

 

When I tried in A-OLAP, using the same calculation view, I could see the input help with Key+Text with the assign label option.

 

Could any one throw light as what can be done at Universe level so that WEBI can show both Key+Text.

 

Thanks

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] problem with Unidata WebI Client

Hello community members,

 

i've got a little problem, and i hope you can help me.

I have connection do the database unidata type migrated from sap bo 3.1 to 4.1sp6 version.

And when we try to run query in Web Intelligence in BI Lounchpad we get an error:

 

The following database error occured:

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application. For information about the error, please refer to SAP Knowledge Base. Artice 2054721 on the SAP Support Portal. (IES 10901)(Error: INF )

 

We use generic odbc connection.

Strange thing is, that there are few universes that uses one connection, and just 3 of them fails, other works fine.

Also those problematic universes work in Rich Client.

We've tried, to reinstall drivers, recreate ODBC connection, set up new connection and universe and all the time error occures.

 

Any ideas?

Does a copied universe impact the original?

Good afternoon all,

I've searched the posts but can find nothing specifically answering this question.  Forgive me, i'm a little new to it all so terminology may be a bit guff.

 

So:

I imported the parent universe, which has 4 child universes. Saved this universe to a different directory then exported it to a sub folder of the original's.

 

My Question is basically if any of that will have any impact on the universes that already exist?

 

I did attempt to create a report from this copied universe but pretty much every object was incompatible with WIS 00008 error.

 

Kind regards

Ian

When two calculated fields match, how can we suppress one of them? BusinessObjects Webi report

June 7, 2016, 12:53 pm

Hello,  thank you in advance for your time. Here's the issue: We need to suppress a specific line item when it is equal to another specific field. These are non-zero values, and we have been told it is not possible in BusinessObjects (WebIntelligence) and that another reporting tool may be required. Any ideas about how this could be done without changing reporting tools would be greatly appreciated.

 

As an example, let's say these two calculated fields appear in our report, "Apples without granny smiths," which adds up all the apples we have without counting the granny smiths; and "Total Apples."

 

This is how the fields would appear if they do not match:

 

Apples without granny smiths    $400

 

Total Apples                             $500

 

 

If the values for these two fields match, we want only the Total Apples field displayed, like this:

 

Total Apples:                                $500


Instead of

 

Apples without granny smiths:     $500

 

Total Apples:                                $500

 

Thank you very  much for any ideas you have for how to accomplish this without changing the tool.

Comparing rows and hiding first row if values are the same

June 7, 2016, 8:07 am
$

Hi everyone,

 

For a report in WEBI, I received requirements to suppress a row if one of its values is the same as the row below it.

 

Example:

Capture.PNG

 

The business would like to HIDE Revenue without Use of Fund Balance IF the 2nd column's value is the same as the value below it, which is for TOTAL REVENUES.

 

The logic would be if row1, column2 = row2, column2, then suppress row1.

 

For comparison purposes, RelativeValue() does not work, I don't think, as there is no 'slicing dimension' to offset... And PREVIOUS() would only work if I wanted to suppress row2.


Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

How to dynamically sort a list of fiscal periods in webi input control

Hello experts,

 

I have the following derived table that sorts the PP_INFO into the chronological order that i need in the universe.

06/19/2016 - P13 is the last period for this current fiscal year so it is listed on top as desired. When the new fiscal year starts in 07/03/2016, I need 07/03/2016 - P14 to be listed on top. Is there a way to build an Input Control in webi with this order?

 

 

When i used this PP_INFO object in webi to build the Input Control, it returned a different sorted order as follow (P01, P02, ...,)

I tried to use the List of Values - custom option in Input Control. However, this list has become static so when a new Period comes, I have to manually add it to the custom list.

 

 

Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Filtering bulk values at query panel

Hi All,

I'm trying to restrict a webi report based on multiple order numbers(approx. 20,000). It is not possible to add all the values in the 'in list' operator and 'result from another query' has a limit of 1000 values.Alternatively, I tried using an excel sheet with all the order# and merged the excel sheet with the universe query using the order# column from the excel sheet, the problem with this approach is that webi still processes all the order# from the universe and not really filters them. Is there any way I could restrict the result set of my query by the order# in the excel file without processing all the orders in the universe ?

Please feel free to share your thoughts on this, any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
