Dashboards 4.0

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have problems with the new Dasboards to add a new query.

If I push the button add new query, the new window opens to log on to the BOE, after initializing the window opens to select the universe, but then I have no functionality to select a universe. Has anyone an idea?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not able to see any universe in Dashboards. I see only a grey screen.

In the Information Design Tool I'm able to see the universes.

Thanks

have your universes been upgraded to UNX?

UNV universes won't be shown.

cheers!

Hi Jeremy,

I have the universes created with the Information Design Tool, so the universes are in the UNX format.

Hi

I have SP2 Patch 3.

With SP2 Patch 2 i hab no functionality on the button "add query". When I presses the button, nothing happened.

The database is SAP BW.

Im just doing another ramp up config at the mo - a v4sp2fp3 installation for a customer over course of today & tomorrow - also a BW environement and looking to use dashboards - so I'll try run the same scenario using a UNX and see if it works for me!

cheers,

Perhaps the following indication related to 4.0 SP02 patch 4 on top of BW 7.01 SP07

can be useful to you as I wrote in another post.

They describe the two connectivity option of Dashboard 4.0 on top of a BW system.

Please notice that the approach override the need of any universe:

1) the so called direct BW connectivity looks reserved to pubblication on SAP EP (Enterprise Portal) and only that.

It requires the BW java runtime environment and also pubblication to power point looks inhibited.

Therefore if you have to publish the dashboard on EP this is the way.

2) Someone defines the above mentioned approach as the BICS connectivity. This can be misleading because the BICS

connectivity can be applied also in another scenario: if you have to publish the dashboard on Launch Pad (formerly called Infoview) or to power point the approach should be the following:

a) definition of a BICS connection by means of the new client tool IDT (Information Designer Tool); take a look at:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/60ad3c37-b90f-2e10-da88-cbadc6f6fed1

b) definition of an Interactive Analysis document within the Launch Pad portal: in practice hereby you create a WEBI

report with NO need of a Universe: the BICS connection defined at point a) permits a direct connection to the Bex Query.

c) from within Dashboard Design you have to use Live Office as additional tool: from the bar of Live Office version 4.0 you

will recognize the Interactive Analysis button: this will permit a binding to the Interactive Analysis document.

hope this helps

Hi,

It may be your flash version. I recall hearing of troubles with this screen showing when using an older version of Flash. Try the latest version.

Hi,

Please check what database are you using to build the UNX. You might see the issue if its based on Access.

Try to build one on SQL or Oracle server and you should be able to see it.

The other thing, you would need to define the dsn with same name on ODBC for 32bits and 64bits.

Thanks,

Amit
