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
Can someone comment on whether the filtering functionality of Analysis Edition for OLAP 4.1 SP2 is working correctly? When filtering on a BW infoobject that has a default display setting of text, the user can not search the filter values by the key value. They can display the key, but the option to search on it is grayed out. This is not the functionality in BEx Web or Analysis office edition.
The filtering option functionality isn't intuitive. I need to remember to uncheck "Select everything" when filtering. Seems like it should be unchecked by default.
Also after I have narrowed down filter values via a search, there should be a box to "select everything" vs. having to check off each box one by one.
Thanks,
John
Hello,
Some users have this error message when they want to export their reports in Excel (xlsx).
It's OK for Web Intelligence reports.
We use BO 4.1 SP2 patch 6 and IE11.
Has anybody a idea ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi everyone,
I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 and Using IE 9.
I have a number of different hierarchy's on a variety of characteristics in Bex. When I drag / drop any of these into an OLAP Analysis Workspace I get this error
If you drag the hierarchy in again it generally works but OLAP Analysis behavior goes a bit skewy after that.
The hierarchies work perfectly in BO Analysis for MS Office & BEx.
I get a similar message in Chrome so I don't beleive its browser related.
Any suggestions welcome!
With thanks

Hello, I have searched SCN and AOLAP documentation before posting the below question. Is there an option to bypass the variable screen in Analysis for OLAP? What I mean is in my workspace, for 3 tabs I have say 3 queries. Each query is connected from BI by BICS, All the 3 queries has variable screen but with default values populated. When I run my AOLAP I don't want the variable screen to pop up for the query and also when I move across tabs.(just use default values) In BI we have an option to bypass by variable_screen = X. I am not interested in URL based because the default values of my variables are dynamic. Note: I have already merged variable and saved the prompts in initial variable screen Regards, B
Hi Experts,
Just wanted to inquire, are prompts in Analysis for OLAP case-sensitive by deafult?
Is there a way to configure this setting?
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,

Hi Experts, In an Analysis Workspace for OLAP.I have put in a filter on the key figures then tried to save the application. When I open the Workspace again, The filter I saved it with is not applied, it shows the original list of key figures as defined in the BEX Query. I would like to understand why the filter is not applied on Key figures?
Hi Guys, Whenever I open a saved analysis workspace from the BI Platform and try to rename the worksheet/Tab, then save it with the changes-I get the attached error message. I also same error message when trying to add multiple tabs at once in to the Workspace. Any ideas why this keeps happening...
Hi there,
Please help me in fixing the issue, I tried creating OLAP connection to Microsoft cubes and which was successful. But when we try to create a workspace from BO analysis, I see the below error.
Please advice.
From the machine it says "MDAS service is running and that the database client software has been installed on the machine hosting the MDAS service"
- I checked in the server which DEV and APS server is running fine with Multi-Dimensional analysis service.
- Do we need the client software ( Microsoft ) on the server ???
Hello,
Our SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for OLAP application demonstrates very poor performance when used with SAP BW BEx query on HANA.
We are using SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 SP04 Analysis for OLAP application against SAP BW (7.3 SP11) BEx query on HANA (1.07). When we open an Analysis for OLAP Workspace in BI Launch Pad, fill in the BEx prompt values and execute it the first results are returned in a couple of minutes. The same BEx query when used directly returns the results in a matter of 10-15 seconds. Also I have done some comparable tests - I have created an Analysis App from this Analysis for OLAP Workspace, then opened this Analysis App in SAP Design Studio and saved it backed into BI Launch Pad. This SAP Design Studio Analysis App (converted from Analysis for OLAP Workspace) also has opened and retrieved the data in BI Launch Pad in a matter of 30 seconds (mainly because after conversion from Analysis for OLAP into Analysis App it contains 7 same data sources pointing to the same BEx query).
After searching the SAP Support Portal I have found several similar cases about problems with performance of Analysis for OLAP (0001733169, 0001762752, 0001934711, 0001955647) but unfortunately none of those Notes can be applied in our case.
Looking forward your feedback and insights on this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know how get around downloading a workspace to excel with an Infinity symbol? Screen shot below is the error message with the infinity symbol on the Margin % column. I can modify the cube to have zero values in the measure but the change to the cube would result in a very large report with lots of zero records which I am trying to avoid. I can also download the workspace as a csv but I then lose all the formatting of the report.
Currently running: SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 2 Version: 14.1.2.1195
2008 MDAS database.
Our OLAP View has 3 sheets, each out of different query from a common cube connnection.
All the 3 queries has exactly same input variables.
From Promt merge functionality, could we expect user to enter the variable just once for all the 3 sheets?
Now, clicking on each sheets - prompts user each time.
Observation:
Clicking on merge prompt in the prompt screen changes the name of the connection to "SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse"
Any help is highly appreciated
Thanks

Hey @ all,
after a Upgrade von BO 4.0 to BO 4.1 we get an error for only one Analysis OLAP Workspace.
Analysis, Edition für OLAP, hat um 8:59 PM eine unerwartete Ausnahme festgestellt und musste geschlossen werden.
"
Analysis, edition for OLAP encountered an unexpected exception at 9:17 PM that has caused it to close.
The following reasons may have caused the unexpected exception:
•Analysis, edition for OLAP has timed out. Your workspace may have been automatically saved to your Favorites folder as an "autosave" file.
•A fatal exception has occurred. Log on again to Analysis, edition for OLAP.
If you repeatedly see this error, contact your administrator."
We only get this error for one OLAP Report. All other Analysis for OLAP reports are working fine.
In Logging we only get errors in the CMS Service:

I haven't been able to find a document outlining the differences between Analysis for OLAP vs. Analysis for Excel. I've been working mainly with accountants, so we've been using OLAP for Excel because they are already comfortable with Excel. However, it has been suggested to me that Analysis for OLAP has features not available with the Excel version. Is this true, and if so is there a document or website outlining the difference in features?
Dear Experts,
While opening analysis edition for OLAP from the BI Launchpad we are getting a popup error as "Failed to get connections for connection [<BI Server>] using session locale [English]. The current password is initial. Please change your password in the ABAP backend as well as in your local destination configuration.
Please suggest how to solve this.
Best Regards,

Hi,
I have been pretty impressed with how well Analysis has been able to browse and display large cubes. However, I did encounter a MDAS service error when browsing a large cube, in which, I believe has more than 500,000 cells (see screenshot below). Is there a limit on the number of cells that Analysis will browse? In the example below, Analysis was able to browse 447,723 cells before it encountered the following error:
Thank you for your help in advance,

Hello,
I am on BI 4.1 SP4. When I resize any pane in analysis in any of our systems, dev, qa, or prod analysis will crash. The error is attached in a screenshot, kind of useless in terms of figuring out why this is happening, typical. Has anyone experienced this?
Cheers,
Hi,
I am trying to use the Analysis for OLAP version. I built a query directly based on cube, and select two column of key figures and click 'add' function of the 'Calculations', but it will throw the error message as 'Formula is invalid'. Then I tried other functions, it looks all the Calculation fail with the same error, does anyone has some suggestion about this? Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
We are using time-dependent hierarchies in combination with a key date variable.
Tools used: Query designer based on SAP BW 7.4 and BO 4.0.
The following steps are executed:
The above scenario works for BEx Analyzer, BEx Web, Analysis for Office - but not for Analysis for OLAP.
Whenever I run through this scenario and confirm the updated key date, the following error is displayed:
cube.get.dimension.info.runtime.error : java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is no default hierarchy for dimension [ORG].
In the user guide I don't find any specifics about the hierarchies and since it works in all the other applications, I wonder where the error is coming from. I also could not find it anywhere else in the forum.
Has anyone experienced the same error or any suggestions?
