Hi gurus,

 

We currently use https://10.0.0.11:8080/BOE/BI

 

I want to change the link to text which I guess would be more understandable and hard to forget by the users.

 

Is there any way I could achieve it? If yes how?

 

Thanks for the responses.

Publication 'Scheduled for'

Hello

 

We are running BI 4 SP4 P 6.  We are trying to create a publication and use the Schedule for option.  The webi report is against a BEx query and the authentication method is SAP.  The user for the schedule for option is a generic id that we have created in both BW & BI4.  However when the publication executes, we are getting the following error:

 

2014-02-04 11:01:49,834 ERROR [PublishingService:HandlerPool-5] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminErrorLog_Instance_889721 - [Publication ID # 889721] - Scheduling document job "Cost Center Owner Report (scheduled)" (ID: 889,729) failed: Cannot connect to the olap source

com.businessobjects.mds.olap.OlapException: [Internal] SSO token or User password is empty.

[Internal] SSO token or User password is empty.

 

 

Any help and guidance is appreciated

 

thanks

Hi,

 

I have a report which has a hyperlink on a coulmn (OpenDocument).


I have a column called as Inv number.
I also have another column called Inv Type

Inv Type has  I, C,and W values.

So the hyperlink needs to be placed on Invoice Number - once the user
clicks on this - it should check if the Inoice Type is a I, C or W.
Depending on the type, the report has to open.


Question is:

1. How can we perform 3 checks for Invoice Type ie: I, C or W on a single hyperlink

Is it possible to use formula results/ Variables of one query to run another query? or to call variables from one BO report in another report?

Is it possible to use formula results/ Variables of one query to run another query? or to call variables from one BO report in another report?

I have a variable, VAR, that was calculated from a query in my BO report. I want to run another query (from another universe) in the same report using this calculated variable, VAR. My SQL knowledge is very limited and I may not be able understand solutions using codes. Right now I am exporting the results, VAR into excel file and then run my query using the VAR field from the excel file hence if I want to refresh the results of my report I need to run the report twice; first to update my excel file and once more to get the final result using the variable in the excel file. Is there any way to automate this process or someone can provided a better solution that I can avoid the excel file and directly use the formula results, VAR to run my query.

Thanks

Regarding Order of Prompts

Is there an option to just display 'Key' in BOBJ prompt?

$
0
0

Gurus,

 

We have a BW 7.1/BOBJ 4.0 system where the requirement is to show only the 'key' for a prompt variable in webi. The variable is 'Material' and for example if the key of the material is 02.001.300, the corresponding description is '4.5 MM LCP Curved Condylar'. Like this, we have lots of materials keys and their description. The users do NOT want to see the description for the materials, they just want to see the keys on the BOBJ prompt section. Our BOBJ report is on top of BW BEx query.

 

I tried changing the BEx option for the material to say just 'Key' as opposed to 'Key and Text' but it didn't work out. Looks like the BOBJ prompt variable section is independent of the corresponding variable settings in BEx. I have attached the Webi prompt screenshot for material, which has both the description and the corresponding key. Is there a way to just display the keys for all the materials and not the text/description?

 

Thanks for your time. Points will be awarded!

 

Thanks,

G.

Does 'Multiple Single Values' work in BOBJ 4.0 Webi?

$
0
0

Experts,

 

We have a BOBJ 4.0 environment. We have a BEx variable defined as 'Multiple Single values' in BEx, so that the users can enter multiple materials at the same time to query as the input. The materials are like 02.200.100, 02.100.105, 02.100.402S etc.. In the BOBJ Webi prompt filter section, for the material, I am not able to input multiple single values for the material. I get a 'No values to display' message in the prompt section itself when I try to enter multiple materials separated by semicolon.

 

The users have around 500 different materials for which they want to see the data at the same time. They have this materials separated by semicolon in excel, and they want to copy that and enter this information in BOBJ prompt section (where it says to enter the values). I tried separating the materials by semicolon, comma - nothing worked out. When I enter each material individually, and search it with it key, I am able to see the material. So, doesn't 'Multiple single values' option work in BOBJ? I was able to see the data for those 500 materials each separated by a semicolon using the multiple single values option through BEx Analyzer and Portal. Isn't the same functionality provided by BOBJ?

 

Please find below my BOBJ prompt screen summary. Since 'Multiple single values' option was not working, I changed the BEx variable to 'Selection Option' in BEx, so in BOBJ we now have a 'Start Value' and a 'End Value' in BOBJ. Still my question is, whether BOBJ supports multiple single values option, so that the users can enter multiple values as input? The users want to enter the multiple materials in the "Enter Search Pattern" bar in the attached screenshot. Please let me know if this is feasible

 

Thanks for your time. Points will be rewarded!

 

Thanks,

How to open a link from a webi data point

Hello Gurus,

 

I am working on a requirement in which we have a table. In that table we have a column name 'Plant Area' which is basically  a space inside a production line at plant. As per user requirement he should be able to click on that data  and open my clients another application which is web based.  I was successful to open a web page using following syntax :-


="<a href=\"www.google.com\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"web\">Plant Area</a>"

But  If I do this then column is filled with 'Plant Area' as data though it should be actual values of Plant Area (ACL / CYA / CT2 etc.)
Then I changed it and put a dimension object in place of Plant Area  i.e. [PLANT_AREA] but the result was same.
Can anyone please suggest what should I do to achieve correct results:-

The Data will be like following
PLANT_AREA          HOURS
ACL                         10
CT2                          12
CYA                          08
User will be clicking on any cell of Plant Area column to open another application.
Regards





 

Web Rich Client Login

Hi,

 

I'm having problems accessing BO Web Intelligence Rich Client. Here is our setup:

 

- SAP BO 4.1 SP2

- Two SAP BW backends

- Authentication for the 2 BW backends configured, users and roles imported

- Two OLAP connections configured, one for each BW backend.

 

My problem is configuring access to our 2 backends from the WebI Rich Client. I cannot choose what backend system i want to login to.

 

Therefore, the system automatically logs in to one of the backends, and I cannot open objects belonging to the other backend.

 

What I want is something like BI Launch PAD:

 

It has input fields for SAP system, and therefore I can choose what backend I want to login.

 

 

I tried to deactivate the "Default System" authentication option, hoping that some popup asking for system info would show up:

CMC Home -> Authentication -> SAP -> Options

 

But no system popup appears, and login failed.

 

Any help?

Thanks
