Hi All,

Analysis for OLAP is not working for SSO. I am using below versions of software's.

BO ANALYSIS 1.4

BOBJ 4.0 SPS 4 PATCH 5

SAP NETWEAVER 7.01 SP 8

BW 7.01 SPS 5

I have created BICS OLAP connection from BOBJ CMC. When I try to create report from SAP Netweaver it is showing below message, but this same connection is working with Analysis Office, in which it is prompted the log in screen for BW.

Is it the expected behavior? or I missed any configurations? It will be helpful if anyone can share your thoughts on this issue.

Thanks in Advance,

Hello,

Since we use IE10 with BO 4.1 SP2 patch 4, we have everytime a warning message a  Use the device 'standards' in your application.

IE10 parameters are :

-Navigator mode : affichage de compatibilité IE10 (in french)

-Document mode : normes

What is the solution to suppress this message ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

I defined a OLAP connection for accessing a MS SQL 2008 cube. I'd like to manage also security issues, like the correct visibility of data for specific users.

For example, I have a sales data cube containing information of different countries. I define a OLAP connection for that cube and I create a Analysis view of that data.

want to manage data segregation (some users can only see data from Italy, other users can only see data from England, etc). I'm reading also some manuals and it seems I can't decide this kind of data segregation via SAP BO. Is it so? Do I have to manage these issues using MS SQL server authentication and security or there is a way to manage also with BO Security?

Thanks all for the support!

My cube environment is Microsoft SQL Server 2005.  We have installed Analysis, edition for OLAP 4.0, SP 4.  We didn't install higher service packs due to using 2005 instead of 2008.  Although our intention is to upgrade to 2008 in a few months, as well as BI Suite 4.1.

It is important to take you through the steps that lead up to getting the error.

This is the Workspace after connecting to the OLAP Cube.  The connection process works okay.

My goal is to put 1 measure in the Workspace as a column.   So, next expanded the Regular Sales Measure Group and highlighted 1 measure.  Then dragged that 1 measure into the Layout Columns section.  It was the only section that it allowed me to drop this measure into.  After I did that, it gave me the Error shown below.  When clicked on OK, it showed me it had brought in all 149 measures in the columns instead of just the 1 dragged over. into the Layout Columns.    Also you can see Measures in the Layout Columns.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  Am I doing something wrong in the Analysis Tool or is something wrong in the Cube itself?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At BI2013 conferennce today, Thierry Adus from SAP gave a really good presentation on Olap for Analysis SP05 and he may have me convinced that now is the time to begin planning on moving from Bex Web to Olap for Analysis with BI 4 SP05. 

Especially once there is a replacement for Bex broadcaster, mentioned to be coming in late 2013, we are ready to start the process of migrating our Bex web reports to Olap for Analysis.

However I remain reluctant giving Olap for analysis to casual users that are finally are comfortable with bex web after 5 years.  And it is not prtactical or possible to replace all bex reports with webis.Thought I would post this topic to see if you might offer any experiences and suggestions for migrating Bex web reports to BI Olap for Analysis and how you manage the transition from Enterprise Portal Roles to BI Launch Pad.

(1) What was the best process to take Bex reports to Olap for Analysis?  We have several  hundreds....

Is it as simple as opening the Bex query in Analysis for Olap client? 

(2) But...We also use the enterprise portal and publish to roles (PFCG) which we currently import to EP for menus for different business groups.  A query could be published to multiple roles. How do we manage this for bi launch pad?   Trying to retain similar portal role authorizations (list of reports) and avoid duplicating the documents in BI Launch Pad?  One thought is create a webi with a list of of olap for analysis as hyerplinks, but complaints are webi is too slow to open.  Guess could do same with design studio, but really miss the idea of Bex query designer publish to role, import role to portal as workset, add workset to portal role as delta link. Done, then each time we transport PFCG role change in BW ABAP, the portal role is updated automatically. 

I fear managing contnent in bi launch pad is a great deal of maintenannce.  So - question how do we manage the content?  I am not comfortable just giving casual users olap for analysis and have them open and search for the report.  They just wont do it.

(3) I learned that the mobile client for Analysis is Design Studio and in May release  will have function to save an anlysis view as a Design studio application, which can run on IOS as of BI Mobile 4.4. and BI 4 SP05.  I guess it is a manual effort to open every Bex report in olap for analysis, save as design app, then open in designer and verify/adjust,  publish as design html5 doc, assign folder categories and mobile category?  Expect to invest some time here...

I realize another long bloggish discussion, but geeked out on the great presentation by Thierry today!

Appreciate your thoughts and experiences.  I will share as I work through it and find out more.

KInd Regards,

Lee Lewis

Hello,

Since we are in BI 4.1 SP2 patch 4, some compounding attributes are displayed with all compounding fields before (and with / as separator).

Do you know how to display this attributes without compounding fields ?

It's the same thing with patch 6.

Thank you in advance fior your help.

Nicolas

Hello Everyone,

My customer wants to know if a white paper giving the comparison between Bex Web and Analysis for OLAP does exist?  (in 4.0 or even in 4.1)

Do we have such document?

Thanks,

Hello Experts,

Is there any settings to default the country specific number and date formatting in BO OLAP Analysis.

I am looking to change the number format and date format to default to US format so as to not to change the formats for evey single OLAP reports in the Analysis Workspace.

Thanks,

Jothi Kswamy

HI,

I want to make a table in HANA available in BO Analysis for OLAP. I have created a Connection with New JDBC connection in the IDT (information design tool) and published the original relational & the secured connection created to the the BO server. (The connection test in IDT was a success).

If I check the connection in CMC, I am able to see the connections. But when I login to launchpad and open up Analysis for OLAP, none of the HANA connections are visible. (I am logging in with Admin/Full access).

Is there any additional publish activity to be done or is this a limitation of OLAP Analysi?

Thanks & Regards,

Rahul Rajagopalan Nair

Hi

I have a question: I read that Analysis cannot use universes as datasource.

We have SAP BW and another non-SAP DWH, both dataprovider should be combined into a BO report. How can we use both dataprovider in Analysis for Office/OLAP if we cannot use a universe?

Thank you.

Hi,

We've currently run into an issue with OLAP Analysis.

We're able to create and save the report. But, while retrieving the report, attached error is thrown.

Report retrieval was working fine before a server restart. But when server was restarted, this error is popping out.

Please do help us here!

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

I created some reports using Analysis for OLAP in BOBJ 4.1, and I had a few question.

1) I was not able to display repeated values for Char in the report output (but was able to get them when I download to excel), can we get them by default in the report output I.e. when we execute the report on the web / BI Launch pad.

2) Display result rows doesn't work as if work in Portal or BIO, if  we try to display the result row for a particular filed say "A", it by default displays the result for all the fields that are there after "A", i.e. B,C etc.

3) Also when we drag drop an filed in the report it doesn't adjust the filed size as it does in portal, the user have to manually adjust it after he places the filed in the report.

Do we know if there is a fix fro this problem or if SAP is planning something for it in the future?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Mahesh

Hello,

Each time I open an Analysis for OLAP, I face the message Critical rendering error.

It appears since we desployed the 10th version of internet explorer.

Exact version of IE is 10.0.14.

Our BO platform is BO 4.1 SP2 patch 4 (very recent version).

Do you know how to solve this issue ?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Since we are in BI 4.1 SP2 patch 4, we have one Analysis for Olap report  which have this message : Fatal error while rendering UI component.

This report gets 7  folders  : 5 of them gets this error message and 2 of them works well

It's the same problem with patch 6.

Could you please help us to find a solution ?

I don't know how to investigate.
