Saving Web Application Report with Multiple Tabs

[sap_cohort]

Hi,

Can a user somehow save the drill-down and filter status of a web application with multiple reports in a tab web item?

The users have an application with 3 reports in a tab web item. (Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly) They want to drill-down by sales area and apply a filter to their sales areas in any of the 3 reports. They want the drill down and applied filters to affect the the other 2 reports reports as well. I am thinking I would do this by specifying "Affected Data Providers" for each data provider. Then they want to save the Template so they can come back and look at all 3 reports with the same drill-down and filters. I looked at the "Personalize Web Page", but from what I read in documentation it only saves the navigation state.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Patrick, Kenneth

I hope you had success with your go-live.

I'm having the same issue with getting the "Internal Server Error".... I have figured out the minimum number of steps to get the error, they are ->

1. run Web template in BI 7 with variable input (and filters & buttons to change variable input)

2. have a button on the template that use Open_Variable_Dialogue to change variable values

3. click on any filter

Crash.

I figure this is a new feature delivered with BI 7. If you have a solution I am very interested !

Regarding Multiple queries in one web template - we use a drop down box to invoke different queries (e.g. YTD, rolling 12 months, quarter to date, single period etc). A part from the feature above, the filters & nav block inteact nicely with the table & graphs (that are on seperate tabs). There is only one datasource described in the web template.

I hope this helps

Hi Karen, thanks for your reply. GoLive still imminent!

Your 'Internal Server Error' is a different one from mine. Not very helpfully, the main error description (Internal Server Error) is the same for all the errors. A bit further down there is some text with 'java.lang' included. This seems to be the part that defines what the error was.

For the Multiple queries, may I ask a favour please? Would you mind sending me a few screenprints of what your report looks like with multiple queries? And maybe even basic description of the Web Template/how you did it? See my user profile.

Thanks,

Patrick

Adding a global button with save as seems to successfully save all 3 reports even though they are not the same dataprovider that is specified in the save as.

That was a helpful post, Kenneth, it confirms what I have found.

You seem to be one of the few people on here who is talking about multiple queries embedded in a Web Template - wonder if I could pick your brains please?

I'm having regular Internal Server Error when I have select the second tab and then click Refresh Variables (command Open_Variable_Dialogue, which doesn't link to a specific dataprovider). Have you come across this?

Also, have you worked out a way of only having 1 of each of Filter, Navigate, Export and Print buttons/links? Because these are specific to a dataprovider it seems I have to have a different button for each tab, which is clumsy with 2 queries and unacceptable for more than 2.

GoLive in 2 weeks - any help much appreciated!
