Important Reminder for SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0Customers with SP2

Posted by Nic Smith Aug 30, 2012

Performance isn’t the only thing that suffers as a result of poor universe optimization and design. So too does ease of

use, and in the worse cases incorrect results are returned.

I’ve seen so many poorly designed universes and most customers are blissfully unaware of the dramatic and

negative impact it has. They are also unaware, that in many cases, it doesn’t take much to fix. This was one of the

reasons why I’ve developed a web based training course that Enterprise Support customers can attend for free. The

course allows attendees to fix all these issues!

The web based course is an ‘Expert Guided Implementation’ called ‘Universe Optimization and Best Practice’ and is

designed for customers on XI3 and BI4 using ‘relational’ universes. It provides those that attend:

An understanding what good universe best practice is.

An easy means to check if their universes will always return correct results or not!

All the information and assistance to make changes to their universe to

guarantee correct results every time

improve performance by just pressing a few buttons

Those that have previously attended this free course rate it very highly with the average rating of 9 out of 10 for “I would

recommend this EGI to others”. One customer said "I have been designing universes for more than 5 years and I still

learnt some great tips." Some customers have seen dramatic performance improvements having followed the

course, for example a 20 minute query now taking just 3 minutes!

If you’re an Enterprise Support customer with ‘relational’ universes then I can’t recommend this course enough. Get

all your universe designers on it. The next course runs in the EMEA timezone on 11th September. Just register at

https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000875452012E/ and for information on the course see

The why and how of universe optimisation

This blog will detail how to create a prompt with hierarchical display with HANA using the Information Design Tool

(IDT). First, let's take a look at hierarchy. For example, a geographical hierarchy might consist of something like,

World

Continent

Country

Region

City

It can be as granular as you like depending on the dataset.

For the example shown in this blog, the hierarchy will contain,

Continent

Country

Region

City

In HANA, we have created five tables,

Continent

Country

State

City

Customer_Location

Each of the geographic tables has an ID and a Key (a key/value pair), this is what we will map later in IDT. In HANA

Studio we have setup description mapping. For example for the CONTINENT_ID we have mapped it to

CONTINENT_NAME, as seen below.

Based on these tables, the Attribute View looks as follows.

Attribute View

Next, we need to create the universe. The first thing we will do is to create a new project and a new connection. To

create a new project use the file menu and then right click on the folder to create a new connection, you will end up

with:

Data Foundation Next, we will create the Data Foundation. Browse to the _SYS_BIC schema, find your Attribute View, and add it to the

Data Foundation.

Business Layer

Next we need to create the Business Layer. In the Business Layer click on "Parameters and Lists of Values" and then

click on the add sign for "List of values based on business layer objects",

Then click on "List of values based on custom hierarchy" and hit "Add Dimension",

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 4/41

In the "Select a Dimension" window, we want to setup our hierarchy. Since, ours is a geographic one, it will look like

as below. Thelowest level being City and the top level being continent.

Next, for each of the 4 dimensions of the hierarchy we need to map the List of Values to each object:

Test the Hierarchy We will now create a query to verify the hierarchy is working correctly. For example, if we want to find all the customers

in Europe we would select,

The result is:

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 5/41

Index Awareness In the Business Layer currently we don't currently don't have Index Awareness set, thus the query looks like,

You can see that concatenation is being done, so the query is not as efficient as it can be as it may be slow

depending on data volumes. We can make the query more efficient, by setting up Index Awareness. Index

Awareness will need to be setup for every dimension that is in the hierarchy.

Now here is the same query with Index Awareness set:

The concatenation has been removed with the indexed values from our LOV objects. Also, you may notice that your

SQL has "MAX" in the select, the reason for that is stated in this SAP note: 1632683 - BI 4.0: "MAX" function added to

the primary key's SQL.

Prompt: Equal To vs In List When a query has a query filter you can select from a variety of operators. When select the "Equal To" operator you

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 6/41

are only allowed to select one value and it has to be from the lowest level. In the example below, we are forced to

select a city from the LOV.

Changing the "Equal To" to "In List", will let us select multiple values and from any level. As seen below, we can

select a continent and a city making "In List" a lot more versatile.

Timothy Coffman, SAP, gave a presentation the other week at the ASUG Virginia Chapter meeting on remote

support for BusinessObjects customers. Why are remote support tools needed? Tim said they are needed for faster

resolution times, less down time and allow SAP to connect to environment remotely.

The first tool reviewed was NetViewer which is a screen share application. The server is at SAP. It provides

application, file and screen sharing, remote control and encrypted data transfer. It is used for solving support

incidents. Sessions can be recorded, if necessary. The connection can be closed by the customer at any time.

Figure 2: Source: SAP

Figure 2 shows the SAProuter option. It is an application gateway between SAP and customer network. It is a tunnel

between network to provide support.

It provides the ability to work on the issue independently. You do not need to be at the phone or at your desk for SAP

to work on your issue.

Figure 5 shows the architecture of the remote support component. A managed agent installed on each SAP

BusinessObjects BI Server that needs to be monitored. Figure 5 shows five agent installations one for each SAP

BusinessObjects BI Server and one for each web application server. These agents collect performance and system

data from the managed system and then send this data to the managing agent and CA Wily Introscope

CA Wily Introscope acts as an interface transmitting weekly service data to SAP where it is converted into an Early

Watch Alert report.

Next, Tim discussed high level key metrics.

A new feature available with BI 4.0 Feature Pack 3 is the ability to import & manage extended user attributes. This is

accessible in the CMC:

These extended attributes can be used for filtering and applying security at the universe (.unx) level.

For example if your LDAP server has an attribute called “Country”, you can make use of those values, and filter content

in your report based on the value of the Country attribute for any given user, or outright set security so that someone

from Canada cannot read content from Germany, and vice versa.

The filtering & security will be set up using the Information Design tool.

Let’s walk through a sample scenario here.

Let’s say I have some users, one residing in the United States, the other in France.

While I can represent this membership through user groups, although in some cases this extended information such

as region, country, and department can also be stored in your Active Directory or LDAP server. You may not always

have groups configured to represent these extended attributes.

With BI4 Feature Pack 3, you can now reference and consume these extended attributes from your external identity

store such as SAP, AD, LDAP, as well as manage these directly for the BI ‘enterprise’ users.

To do so, you must first configure your authentication plugin in and enable the attribute binding options:

Previously, this option would allow you to import the full name and email address, and we have now extended this to

do much more.

Once you have enabled this setting, you will need to know the attribute names that you wish to query. In this LDAP

example which is a screenshot from my LDAP server, I have an attribute called “Locality” which will be used for

country.

User Attribute Mapping in BI4 - in depth

Posted by Greg Wcislo Jul 5, 2012

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 22/41

To map this value to your users, click on the User Attribute Management link in the CMC

Click on the “Add new Custom Mapped Attribute button”

In the screen you are presented, select the source of the attribute, in our case it will be LDAP:

A quick explanation of the values.

The Name is what will be used in all the UI where you interact with this in the BI tools.

The Internal name is referenced by the internal SDK, and the Information Design Tool.

The Attribute Source name is the attribute value from our LDAP server mentioned earlier.

Once this is done, you can run a user update in the LDAP authentication plugin, or logon as one of the LDAP users to

validate that your users have been updated with the appropriate values. In order for the various attribute sources to

appear, you must have the authentication plugin correctly configured and enabled. To validate, look at a user’s

properties page.

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 23/41

You can now see that the name we defined “Country” has the value from the LDAP server which is stored under

“Locality”.

Great! So now what?!

Let’s say I want Jean-Luc’s reports to only contain data for his region, France.

If I first logon to Information Design Tool with Jean-Luc as the user account and run a query on my universe with no

filters, I’ll get everything returned:

However applying a filter on country will limit my results to the value of the user’s attribute:

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 24/41

The value we input here is @VARIABLE(‘SI_COUNTRY’) to make use of the custom mapped attributes. Recall that

this is the internal name that was set when we created the attribute mapping in the CMC.

If we view the details of our resulting query to see what happens behind the scenes, we’ll get the following:

Where this can become even more useful beyond filtering is during in applying security. Suppose you don’t want

users to view data outside their region, as defined by the “Country” attribute in our example.

In the security builder of the Information Design Tool, Insert a Data Security Profile:

Let’s now add a Rows security restriction on the Customers table

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 25/41

Make sure you assign this security to an appropriate group, you can do this for ‘Everyone’, and save your universe.

Now if we logon again with our Jean-Luc user, whose attribute value to ‘Country’ is “France”, our query will always be

limited to this value only, and I will not be able to access data for other countries:

If Jean-Luc relocates to the USA, assuming the underlying attribute is updated, their security access will automatically

get updated as well, and their data will be filtered to “Germany” only.

While the feature is primarily intended for taking advantage of information in your existing Identity Provider like your

LDAP directory store or your Active Directory, you can set this on Enterprise users, and you can also use the SDK to

access & set these values.

Failover:

You will notice that you can set multiple attribute sources for any single custom attribute, for example you can

configure both your SAP authentication plugin and your AD plugin to pull in the value of Country. The priority of each

source is defined when configuring authentication. If a user has an alias for an authentication source, the system

tries to take the attribute value from that source, even if the value is empty. If unsuccessful, the system uses the next

available source for which the user has an alias. In other words, if I have both SAP & AD configured, with SAP having

priority, the value from AD will be pulled in only if my user does not have an SAP user alias, or if they do have an SAP

user alias but the attribute points to a non-existing attribute on the SAP system.

About SAP system attributes.

The functionality is limited to the BAPIADDR3 SAP Structure. You can view this information and more if you enter the

Structure name BAPIADDR3 into the relevant SAP transaction such as SE11 or SE80.

Hi Everyone,

It is with great pleasure that I officially announce the launch of the first phase of the BI Platform Pattern Books:

The initial Pattern Book provides detailed step by step instructions on how to deploy SAP BusinessObjects BI platform

4.0 Feature Pack 3 into a real-world system landscape for both Red Hat and SUSE Linux.

Deploying BI platform in the real world.

You can deploy the platform entirely on one machine using the bundled database, Enterprise authentication

mechanism, and application server. This allows you to quickly set up an environment to develop and test BI

content and to familiarize your organization with the system’s capabilities. However, most production

deployment scenarios are more complex and configured for increased security, scalability, and redundancy.

They also need to integrate with a organization’s existing IT infrastructure.

Announcement: SAP BusinessObjects BusinessIntelligence Platform Pattern Books Launch

Posted by Henry Kam Jun 29, 2012

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 27/41

In a real-world scenario, you may need to:

Configure your company's existing software, such as application and database servers to work with BI

platform.

Install and configure BI platform software on multiple machines for scalability and redundancy

Integrate with your company's existing security infrastructure.

The detailed setup requirements differ for each particular combination of operating systems, application

server vendors, and database vendors. SAP provides detailed instructions for predominant production

deployments. A specific deployment combination is called a pattern.

See http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/SAP+Business+Intelligence+Platform+Pattern+Books

The second book we plan on delivering the in coming months is a pattern for Windows server landscapes.

If you have any questions about this initiative please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Earlier this month SAP's Ty Miller and Susan Guess provided an ASUG Webcast on planned innovations and

future directions. Note that the usual disclaimer applies, that planned things are subject to change.

Also hopefully everyone has seen the recent SAP Announcement from Adam Binnie re: FP3 SP4

The "Solution today" includes BI4 FP3/SP4 while planned innovations is generally the next release.

Figure 3: Source: SAP

Figure 3 shows reducing total cost of ownership, through reducing the number of different platforms and technology.

As an example, the CMS repository can move to Sybase SQL Anywhere as the default repository database.

SAP is working on making it easier to install and deploy platform. Release an enhanced server config tool provides

you how you want to install and do some preconfiguration and click 'install". They want to automate to reduce

complexity and avoid errors.

For SAP applications customers they plan on integrating with NetWeaver Identity Management capability – one place

to manage users, the properties of the users and how defined in system.

For BI with HANA users the plan to provide a more open standard for authentication based on SAML, a new but more

global standard for authentication to remove dependency on Active Directory

For software management want to provide an auto update service to manage desktop clients

Multi Tenancy where hosting BI platform for others but want segregated usages of BI platform, enabling ability to

actively manage resources of tenants and use the same instance.

Figure 4 shows the Semantic Layer planned innovations.

For big data, (HANA, Hadoop) - how access and how present it.

For HANA they plan to enable multi dimensional access to those views. Today connect via relational, as move

forward access as a multi-dimensional source. To improve HANA performance they plan to use query stripping

It is planned to work against Hadoop.In feature pack 3 / SP4 you can connect to Hadoop as a data source

It is planned to continue to integrate with BW. They plan to optimize BI platform for BW.

Figure 5: Source: SAP

From SAP, adopt Sybase SQL Anywhere embedded repository database

They are taking advantage of Java Virtual Machine – comment virtual machine for products

SAP plans to continue to adopt most up-to-date platforms from partners - Microsoft, IE10, Windows 10, Office 15

Figure 7 focuses on visualizations that are part of BI clients on Suite

With the ability to have high interactivity, visualizations are dynamic, an emotional connection to data, to bring focus

into data quickly

They compel you take action based upon data and you want users to be emotionally tied to graphics

They want you to do this with "Big Data" – they are designing them to make sense

They want to make them easy to use – improved new touch screen hardware devices enable and analytic controls to

provide in the charts.

They continue to work with HTML5 standard so mobile devices can be more quickly adopted and work with the next

Demo of SAP BusinessObjects 4 - May 2012

Profiles and Publication

I have been searching on Profiling and Publication data, but always ended up getting something general and

hardly came across something concrete. Anyways, here is a document which will give you a head start in this

capability of SAP BO.

There are 2 ways of Publication, Dynamic Recipient (ii) Enterprise Recipient

Now, let’s see what is the difference between the two:

Dynamic Recipient: - Primarily is aimed at sending to someone outside of your network or if you dont want to

have maintenance headaches for users/groups/profiles/security and so forth. For example: The Supplier of your

company needs monthly data regarding his supplies and inventory levels with us, we can send out a report with

only his data to the suppliers email id without maintaining any other things for user(s) in our system. In general

the objective of Dynamic Recipient is to send data to non-Enterprise users.

“Business Objects Inbox(es) are invalid destinations for dynamic recipients because they do not have

BusinessObjects Enterprise user accounts”

Source: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_publisher_en.pdf

Enterprise Recipient: - From the name itself it can be understood that this capability is specifically targeted

for Enterprise Users wherein all the information regarding them are present in the system while creating the

users. Reports for these kind of users can be sent to Business Objects Inboxes, File System, Email ID and so

forth.

Lets look at the 2 different types now:

Dynamic Recipient

Let’s now look at how to prepare a Dynamic Recipient publication

In this scenario we need two files created in WebI

Source File: This file should be the actual file with all supplier inventory and supplies data. The

important thing over here is that the source file should have a unique id in it, mainly Supply ID. You

will see how it works later.

(ii) Recipient File: This file should again have the Supply ID as an important field in the report, then

remaining data like name of the supplier & email are required also.

Ex: My source file looks like this

Profiles and Publication

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 35/41

Here the SKU Number is the kind of primary key which I am going to use further.

Ex: My Recipient file will look like this

Email Id has been blanked out, but your source should have email id's for SKU Numbers.

Here the SKU Number is the kind of primary key which I am going to use and also we need Category Name

and Email Id for proper working of Dynamic Recipient.

Once these 2 files are prepared, we should next create the publication.

To create publication, from Infoview, click on NEW and select Publication

Enter next the name of the publication and map the source document which we created initially.

Once these are mapped, you will get additional options like below:

In this since we are dealing with Dynamic Recipient, click on that next. Under “Choose the source for the

dynamic recipients ”, click on the drop down and select WebI/DeskI if you recipient list is in a WebI document.

From here, drill down to the place where the Dynamic Recipient file is and select the same.

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 36/41

Next select the Datasource from the drop down from which we need to consider the columns to be mapped

(basically the query from which Supply ID is coming in our example and w.r.t E-fashion, wherever SKU Number

is coming). In my example, it’s Query1. Once selected, we get the below

Map the SKU Number, Category and Email Id. By default, SKU Number is mapped, Full Name has to be

mapped to Category and Email to Email ID.

In our hypothetical example, the Supplier Dynamic Recipient file will have be mapped like below:

- Recipient identifier(required) : Supplier ID

- Full Name : Supplier Name

- Email : Email Id

You can either send data to the entire suppliers or selected suppliers. That totally depends on the checkbox

as shown below.

Once this is done, move on to the next important bit – Personalization

In the above piece you can see Global Profiles and Local Profiles. Dynamic Recipient piece can only be done

with Local Profiles.

In the first field, Report Field, select the Supplier ID from our example or in E-fashion case select SKU Number.

Next map it to the Dynamic Recipient field of SKU Number. Similarly, if REQUIRED ONLY map the remaining

like Category.

Now the important bit which I noticed is that, the splitting of the file happens based on the mapping here. The

Source file SKU Number is mapped to Recipient files SKU Number and the source file data will be split using

this SKU Number. If for example Category is also mapped, then the file will be split based on SKU Number and

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 37/41

Category.

This is how the splitting of data happens from the source and personalized data is prepared for each user.

Next up is the Format of report you would like to generate which will be in my case I am going to generate a

PDF - Adobe Acrobat file.

After this we have to ‘Select Destinations’. In Dynamic Recipient case we have to map it to an email ID. I am

not quite sure if we can actually send to an FTP Server or File System through Dynamic Recipient

functionality, but you are free to try and let all know about the same ..

Check the Package as ZIP File, Deliver objects to each user and enter details like “From Email ID”, “To Email

ID” as %SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS% (which will be taken from the recipient file). Enter subject, message and file

naming convention. Pg. 64 in the below link talks about the check box in detail.

http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_publisher_en.pdf

Once this piece of setting is done, we may/may not need to select Prompts under Additional Options tab. The

prompts are not necessary bit here in Dynamic Recipients. It can run for all the values coming from the source

and recipient files and send the data accordingly. In my example I have not given any prompts. But if you do

have prompts, please select the list of values for which the publication should run. Ex. If you select SKU

Number from 1-100 of 1000 in the LoV, the publication will only run for 1-100 and the 1-100 SKU’s will be sent

to the corresponding email id with the Category name and Sales ($) information. The remaining 101-1000 will

not be considered at all.

Remaining options are self-explanatory and I didn’t fiddle around with it much.

Once the publication is created, right click on the corresponding publication and go into test mode and test

your publication. Otherwise you can also run your publication by actually scheduling it to run now, in either

case it will work.

The output I got is shown below, if there are 10 SKU’s in the prompt selected while creating the publication,

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 38/41

then 10 SKU will be picked from the source, mapped to the recipient, and each SKU will be sent as a separate

file to each email id. I actually posted it to my own email id which looked like below

Note: SMTP configurations have to be done and up and running before actually posting data to Email ID.

Enterprise Recipient

Let’s now look at how to prepare an Enterprise Recipient publication

In this scenario we need 1 file to be created in WebI

Source File: This file should be the actual file with all supplier inventory and supplies data. The

important thing over here is that the source file should have a unique id in it, mainly Supply ID. You

will see how it work later.

So it’s the same way like earlier. But the source file has to be created with Prompts. Prompts are important here else

the publication won’t know what to filter on. So please ensure that your Source file has prompts.

Once we have this Source file ready, go to CMC and click on Profiles.

Create Users, add these users to Group and design however you want.

In my case I createed 3 users and added 2 users to 1 group and the other user to another group.

Then click on PROFILES.

Click on “Create New Profile”, top left button. Enter the name and description.

In the User Security give necessary access rights. I haven’t explored much on this, but mine looked like this

which I believe should be good enough.

Next is the Profile Targets. This is what will be used to recognize based on which field the data needs to be broke

down in the source field. Here the local profile comes from the webi/crystal file whereas Global profile comes from the

Universe.

Profile Targets are filter for any source file that will be using this universe.

In my case I want SKU Number as my Profile Target which will act as a filter for the report.

Profile Values are values by which the filtered values for each user/group will be personalized and sent across. For

Ex.: PUC_POC1 user group has 2 users under it, and they will receive data related to SKU Numbers

‘115121’,’119427’ and ‘116256’. Similarly for PUB_POC2. For doing this click on Edit (as shown in the below image),

and on the subsequent pop-up click on edit and select all the values from the LoV for the user group PUB_POC1.

Similary do it for PUB_POC2

6/3/2014 BI Platform | SCN

http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog?start=195 39/41

Once these are done, our Profiles are ready.

Next is to Create Publication, follow same process to create Dynamic Recipient, except deviations are in the following

tabs:

Enterprise Recipients: In this tab, select the group PUB_POC1 and PUB_POC2. These are the users for which the

publication will be performed.

Next click on Personalization tab, select Efashio_Profile (the profile that you created in CMC) from under Global

Profiles --> Enterprise Recipient Mapping.

Next Destination can be anything including the Enterprise User Inbox.

Next Prompts

Notice that I have entered prompt values 136786, 137635, 137638 which is not there in any of the profile value of the

user groups. These values should not come in your output as well. The report will run only for the 12 SKU Numbers

selected but only 9 values will be sent to users. 3 to PUB_POC1 user group and the remaining 6 to the other user

group.

Prompts needs to be entered in the source which is kind of mandatory as per my findings. If no prompt was present

the data coming to specific users were not filtered out at all based on the values which I had mentioned for each user

under Profile Values.

How it works is that, when we actually run the publication, the source file has a prompt for which the publication runs

the data and then from the entire data for which it ran, it then looks up the profile values for each target users and

splits the data based on the Profile target. The new file is prepared and sent to each users inbox, FTP Location and

so forth.

I hope this doc has helped you in some way. Feedback , alternative methods, mistakes in my writeup are all

welcome.

Thanks

Check out the slides on the Analytics Slide share.

The class will be taught using the latest release of BI4 in the Amazon cloud including all the new features from

Feature Pack 3. We will provide iPads to experience BI mobile hands-on. Agenda topics include:

BI roadmap will be presented by Adam Binnie, Group Vice President for BI Solution Management

BI tools including: Visual Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Dashboards, Analysis for OLAP and Office, Zen, etc. on

top of

1. Agnostic “non-SAP” back-ends

2. SAP HANA

3. SAP NetWeaver BW

Installation, configuration, migration, lifecycle management (LCM), authentication

troubleshooting and sizing

BI mobile - which will be pervasive throughout the class

HANA modeling

The current high level agenda* looks like this (cllick on picture to enlarge):

*subject to change

The class it at an advanced level and will go deep into configuration, troubleshooting, best practices and tips &

tricks with the goal to get you or your project live with BI4 as smoothly as possible.
