Altek Solutions Business Intelligence Blog

Over the past ten years, I’ve been a part of literally hundreds of SAP BusinessObjects client demos. I’m always struck, however, when we reach the ad hoc portion of the demo and begin talking about WebIntelligence. While the end-users in the room get excited about having the ability to create their own reports and analysis without waiting on the IT department, we usually get a lot of push-back from the managers and executives in the room.

Over the last three weeks, we have been highly energized and working hard to set SAP on a better course. The excitement we feel and the passion we have for this company is very much about who we are and what we are all about. And we know that the changes at SAP have led to some questions, and we have answers for them.

This topic seems to be a request that comes in on every project that I am on and since I haven’t had a blog post in awhile, I thought it would be a quick and useful blog . Well, the ability to pass through a value into a WebI doc without having it to correspond to any dimensions/details/measures is a pretty simple process and can be easily done using a predefined query filter in Designer. We really have two things we need to look at and that is the logic and the syntax.

After viewing multiple posts on BOB about the subject and having a couple of questions directed towards me about this, I decided it would be an excellent blog topic for everyone that has a need for this solution. Check out the steps below to implement the Xcelsius Publishing Plugin.
