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?

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 ???

Extremely slow Excel Export after 4.1 SP4 Patch 2

$

Hello,

 

We've recently upgraded from BI 4.1 SP01 Patch 5 to BI 4.1 SP04 Patch 2.

 

When exporting larger datasets from AOLAP based on a sap bw 7.4 Patch 8 bex query, resulting in greater than 250K cells in XLSX, performance is very poor.


Before the upgrade, we could export 1m cells in under 40 seconds.  Now the same query's are taking over 8-10 minutes to export.  The query itself runs between 1-2 minutes.  And response is fairly quick to navigate pages/scroll.

 

In transaction sm50, we can see that there is communication between BI and BW during the entire process of export.  It appears to not be using cache and is rerunning the entire query.

 

We see the following programs being utilized by BW during the export process

CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA

CL_RSMD_RS_READ_MDATA

SAPMSSY1

SAPLSM02

SAPLRSBOLAP_BICS_PROVIDER

 

 

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?

Excel error Downloading Workspace with Infinity Symbol

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.

Hello BI experts,

 

More and more often our users have this pop up when they work hardly with BO (Analysis for Olap 4.1 SP Patch 5) and IE 11.0.9600.17691 :

18-03-2015 14-02-24.png

In English, this means "Are you sure to quit this page?"

 

They specially have this message when the customize the layout and then come back to the prompt window.

But this message looks like random.

 

Do you have any idea to solve this annoying problem ? 

 

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi experts,

 

I have a problem with Analysis for OLAP, this is the steps to explain:

1) On BI Launch Pad, create a new analysis document

2) Choose a BEx query

3) Select the variable's values

4) Ok, the report is on the screen, with with columns, lines and values...

5) Save this document on Favorites folder (for example)

6) Close the Analysis for OLAP

7) Go to Favorite folder and open the analysis document saved in previous steps

8) THE PROBLEM: Analysis for OLAP prompt again to select the BEx query.

 

This occur with some BEx, with other BEx queries the analysis only prompt the BEx variables.

 

I suspect that could be some permission issue, but I using a administrator user.

 

I'm working with BO 4.1 SP3 and BW 7.01

 

 

Thanks for all help!

How suppress criteria tabs when exporting reports to Excel?

$
0
0

My users have many AOLAP reports that use HANA calculation views as their data source. When these users export the reports to Excel, the resulting Excel file contains twice as many tabs as are present on the reports. For each tab on the AOLAP report, the Excel file contains an accompanying tab with a "+" suffix in the tab name (e.g., "Customers", "Customers+", "Vendors", "Vendors+", etc.); this accompanying tab lists the criteria (e.g., start date, end date, etc.) the user selected upon loading the report. Is there a way to suppress these criteria tabs...or perhaps include only one such tab, since the criteria is the same for the entire report and, therefore, doesn't need to be repeated for every tab?

 

Also, the 'Export to XLSX' dialog box that appears when the user presses the 'Export to Excel' button is confusing:

  • It displays the names of all the tabs in the report twice, in a parent/child relationship. When either the parent or child checkbox is selected or de-selected, the child or parent is also selected or de-selected. What is the purpose of this?
  • Selecting or de-selecting the 'Repeat outer header members' checkbox doesn't seem to have any effect upon the resulting export....or the selection and de-selection described above. What is its purpose?

Scheduling a Report

Hi,

 

Is there any way to schedule an Analysis report?

 

There is a monthly need to have several Analysis reports created with varying dimension values. It would be great to be able to have these report automatically generated based on at least the changing time period. Please let me know if there is any way to do that.

 

Thanks,

Hi all,

 

I have some trouble with analysis for OLAP it starts but the page remains empty with an error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404

 

The BOE server is BI4 SP5, the SAP BW server version is 7.0 EHP1.

Connecting to BI4 with SSO against BW server works.

Creating BICS connection against BW server works.

Creating OLAP connection against BW server works.

 

Directly logged on the BOE server, I get this erreur when I start Analysis for OLAP from the BI launchpad webpage:

Error with Selecting a Date for a BEx Variable in Analysis OLAP

$
0

I'm using Analysis OLAP with a BEx Query that has a mandatory date variable.  It will only let me pick certain dates for this variable.  Since I'm in the US, I read dates, MM-DD-YYYY.  Apparently, Analysis OLAP does YYYYMMDD regardless of the back end formatting in BI 4.0 SP 4.  I can pick dates up to the 12th of the month, since A-OLAP thinks that is month 12.  I don't have this issue with the exact same query using Analysis Office, WebI, or BEx (via RSRT). 

 

Date 08/22/2013 doesn't work...

Image-0072.png

Date 08/10/2013 works...

Image-0073.png

I checked the SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for OLAP User Guide (for BI 4.0 SP5).  On page 126, it states...

"When you connect to an SAP BW data source, the format for displaying dates in the analysis window is

determined by a setting on the SAP BW server for the user profile that you used to connect to the data source."

 

Also, it notes, "Analysis requires that all prompt values in the Prompts dialog box be entered in the format

yyyymmdd. Dates in the Prompts dialog box are always displayed in this format, and you must follow this

format when manually typing values for date prompts."

 

Fair enough, I can enter the date in a different format...however, there's more.  If you are on BI 4.0 SP 4 Patch 0, the user account users for the OLAP connection on the BW backend must be set to...YYYY-MM-DD in SU01.  Given, that I'm in the US, the isn't a productive scenario.

Image-0079.png

Here are a few relevant SAP notes...

1761780 - Cannot enter a date value in USA format [mm/dd/yyyy] when SSO authentication is used in an Analysis edition for OLAP workspace against an SAP BW source

This note mentions ADAPT01662017 which is part of SP 05.

 

1832395 - Changes in the user specific date format in SAP BW are not getting reflected in existing Analysis edition for OLAP workspace prompts.

 

1879223 - In Analysis Edition for OLAP format for date prompt is yyyyMMdd when selecting from calendar

 

ADAPT01662017 (Available in BI 4.0 SP 5 - see release notes)

Description

In Analysis, edition for OLAP, when you connect to an SAP BW data source with a date prompt that has a

default value, the date format for the SAP BW server is applied to the default prompt value. However,

Analysis only accepts date prompts that have the format yyyymmdd.

If the date format for the SAP BW server does not match the yyyymmdd format, you will not be able to specify

valid dates for date prompts with default values.

New Behavior

This problem is resolved. The “Prompts” dialog box formats default values for date prompts as

yyyymmdd regardless of the date format setting for the SAP BW server.

The date format that you specified for the SAP BW server still applies to dates in the analysis window.

See the fixed issue note for ADAPT01637226 for more information.

 

So, I would LOVE to upgrade to SP 5, but I cant in the next few days to solve this issue.  Anyone have a suggestion as to how to deal with this in Analysis OLAP and stay on BI 4.0 SP 4?

 

Thanks for taking a look!
