Webi error when opening in not the original language

485 Views

Hi all,

We are upgrading our BO system from BO 4.1 SP3 Patch 7 to 4.1 SP7 Patch 5.

All of our reports have been built with Spanish as the original language, however they are translated to English, French, Italian and Portuguese. And all of our reports are based on OLAP connections (BW BEx queries).

After the migration, if we run the reports in the original language, everything is fine.

But if we open the report in other language, we have different issues:

1- If the report uses a BEx structure:

1.1 If it's an existing report --> Error

1.2 If it's a new report built after migration:

1.2.a. If the Query BEx is fully translated in a language (for example: English) --> OK

1.2.b. If the Query BEx is not fully translated in a language --> same Error as above.

2- The other incident is related to translations as well, and sometimes we lose in BO variable formulas mapping if we run it in a language that it's not fully translated in BEx.

For example, this is an original formula (Spanish) in BO:

If we open the same formula in English, as you can see, we lose the mapping, and webi report gives an #ERROR

It does seem that everything is related with translations and BO-BW connection.

It's not feasible at all to translate everything as we have many BO reports, and many more BEx queries, some of them with lots of KPIs, and 4 languages to translate!!

We have also contacted SAP, let's hope they help us!

If any of you has suffered the same incident, or something similar, we will really appreaciate any help.

Cheers!
