Within WEBI, when using scheduled reports, it auto generates an "Instance Time", we use these so people are aware of what data is contained within the report, for example, they know a Weekly report, that ran on a Monday contains the full previous week.

We have been hit by a number of failures yesterday, and reports running late, that means the instance dates are now a day out, which is going to create confusion across our user base.

• For the instances that have run late, ie, today rather than yesterday, is there anyway in BO of amending the date manually so that it can show as 21st April instead?

• Also - have others faced the general issues failed instances cause due to the importance of the "instance date" in identifiying the report contents, and if so how have you managed to get around this? I'd have thought you could name an instance based on a MAX of the date in the report, but BO seems to not support any custom way of naming the report instances, leaving only the instance time as a useful piece of info.

Thanks in advance

Dear all,

I am an ABAP Web dynpro developer. 

As part of the workflow, i am displaying  a BOBJ Webi Report to the users.

The requirement is to allow users Aapprove/Reject the data in the report.

Is it possible to have user input or any buttons in the Webi Report?

If yes, How to achieve this ? Please help.

Hi Friends,

We have a issue with the Cost Centre Hierarchy report.  The issue is that it’s not pulling everything down to the lowest level in the hierarchy.  We have created additional levels with the one more structure, and are going down to at least 7 levels of cost centre group.

Does the report cater for that many levels?

Version Details:

BOXI 3.1 SP5

Webi Report

Source:MS Sql Server 2008

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Hi,

Environment: BI 4.1, SAP BW and Oracle 11g.

Users are imported from BW.

I am facing issue in 4.1 sp2 After migrating 4.0 to 4.1.

All UNV reports are working fine except reports on Oracle
Database in BI launch Pad, those reports are working fine in Rich client.

I have installed Both 32 and 64 bit Oracle drivers in 4.1 servers.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

I am on BO3.1 SP5. We have a few COUNT(DISTINCT X) and Ratio ( SUM(A) / SUM(B) ) measures in our universe and we figured that we need to make them Database Delegate as they would otherwise result in incorrect results based on the dimension used in query vs the dimesions user drags into a report.

Now we have the right results, but when a user tries to use the Σ on those columsn in the Webi i get the #TOREFRESH and on hitting the Refresh Query I get an error as it generated a second query and since I have Start Date dimension used it says invalid date format. However my question is why we cannot use the SUM on the Database Delegate measures and what do I need to do to make it work after the #TOREFRESH message.

Hi,

I'm facing an issue in creating a webi report against an analysis view (OLAP analysis - connecting to ESSBASE ASO cube).

I was able to create an analysis view and i'm able to see them in Lauch Pad & CMC.

But if i try to create a new webi report using this analysis view,these does not show up in the "analysis view "selection page?

Could anybody advise why the anlysis view doesnot show up when i try to create a webi out of it?

Thanks,

Anil Zacharia Chacko.

Hello Experts,

after importing BIAR-Files from our production system  into our development system, I'm not able to start the WebIntelligence Processing Server. I activated the trace and the log-file shows me the following error message:

014/04/25 12:56:54.465|>>|A| | 9960|1541950368| |||||||||||||||assert failure: (serverhelper.cpp:15). (pServer1->GetPropString( WP_SI_SERVER_ID_N, serverId ) : no message). serverhelper.cpp:38: TraceLog message 2 2014/04/25 12:56:54.469|>>|A| | 9960|1541950368| |||||||||||||||assert failure: (serverhelper.cpp:38). (0 : Now that there are servers other than OCA servers you have to figure out how to get the machines nam e).

BO is running under SLES with DB2 and the Version is XI 3.1 Support Package 6 Fix Pack 2. Until now I searched in several forums and also on SAP Marketplace ... But I had no success   The other services are running without any failure.

I also tried to create a new WebIntelligence Processing Server, but the error still occurs ...

Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

Many thanks and best regards,

Max

Hi Team,

In Edit query I didn’t see any “Prompt” in Query filter but when I click on “Run Query” its asking for option.

In option Lots of “country name” is there and “All” as well. I want “All” is always added in “name in List” box by default.

As in this report I didn’t find any prompt used, hence I am confused.

Please help me to understand the logic.

I am working on BO 3.0.

Thanks

Sam

Hi all,

Is someone already on SP03 of BI4.1?

Did it resolve the issue:

1966075 - The Web Intelligence Java Report Panel does not launch when using supported Java Runtime Environment 7 update 51 with default settings

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1966075

SAP Support mentioned it would be, but I rather get another confirmation, as I cannot find the related ADAPTs in the patch notes:

ADAPT01716488, ADAPT01709990 (no close variant either)

Thank you for your insight,

Denis

Hi everyone,

In a few weeks we are updating BW to 7.4 SP5 and I need to know if this will impact in some way our BO reports.

Our current Business Objects version is 4.1 SP2.

Is there any action required on BO side to take before facing BW upgrade?

Thanks in advance!
