Using Bex Analyzer via internet

Hello experts,
I have BW 3.5 and do not have portal. I want users travelling in various locations to access / run queries via internet. Some queries are static (updated once a day) and some are dynamic (structure updated every 15 min). What all steps do I take to acheive this?
Any help would be rewarded with points.
Thanks
UV

Hi UV,
Ok..Here are the steps to create a simple web report:
1. Create a quesry on your cube. Goto bex analyzer and just drag and drop a few chars in the rows and columns sections and save.
2. Now goto start -> programs -> business explorer -> web application designer.
3. In the WAD drag and drop table web item (you would find lots of them like table, chart, etc..) to the rightr hand side.
4. Now below the web items you would find the properties tab. Now in the properties for the table select the query that you created. Save.
5. There is a button in WAD to execute the report in browser. Execute and check.
Bye

BW on HANA Trial - Using BEx Analyzer

Hello,
is my assumption correct that it is not possible to use BEx Analyzer with the BW on HANA Trial?
When I try to start BEx Analyzer via remote desktop of my instance nothing happened. Also I found a comment that there is a license problem with micrsoft und that´s the reason why it doesn´t work.
Do you know any workarround to use BEx Analyzer or Analysis for Office with BW on HANA Trial?
Thanks for your help!
Christine

Hello Christina,
the private network option will be offered when you setup your AWS account with the VPC settings.
More details can be found in the FAQ section.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-33673
if you want to use your local GUI you will have to open the corresponding ports in the Virtual Machine settings.
I would also like to highlight the fact, that this is a Trial and that - based on the Terms and Conditions - you can not upload your own data and you can not connect it to your own ERP systems.
see the restrictions here:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-58120
A trial is there for you to experience the software based on the predefined scenarios.

Run the Same query in RSRT transaction code , see if you get the same error.

How to Use calendar service via internet not intranet

Hello:
I wanted to know if there is any change or stuff (like proxy web server) to use the calendar via Internet.
i.e.
i access the calendar on my networ througth http://hostname.domainname.com:portnumbre.
When i try to access via internet therougth www.domainname:portnumer, it cannot be accesible.
What are the procedures, by the way i have used the evaluation senario for this.
Thanks in advice.

Hi:
Thanks for the reply but still yet it does not fix my problem.
Let me explain a little bit more:
The DNS looks up to the ip so the access page can be reached, but when i try to use the service it does not work.
So i guess i need to ad some line to ics.conf?? or something else:
My domain internally just works fine.
host.mydomain.com:3080
and i access and use the clalendar
however when outside the intranet i.e my home i use:
www.mydomain.com:3080
It accesses to the page where it asks me for login, but it does not authenticate. and continues asking for a user.
That�s why i think there must be some change in the configuration or software.
Once More
Thanks

How to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn.
Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
This is the only safe way to do it via windows.
http://www.dyncommunity.com/questions/18132/accessing-time-capsule-from-windows- 7-over-the-int.html
If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

Run report from Backend BI system using Bex analyzer

Dear All,
End user (GM) is having access to 5 queries (reports). Right now end user is accessing reports via enterprise portal system. Now requirement has come that end user will login to BI backend system and he should see the query names in his Role/User menu then he will double click on query name and it will point to Bex analyzer.
So end user will see reports via Bex analyser using backend system.
in backend BI system, in end user's pfcg role, i added role menu as BW report ID, it is showing in end users's user menu, but when he click on that..it is pointing to Bex analyzer but not opening report. Then again end user has to type query name there and execute...
please advise how end user can see all query names in his role menu's ?

Automated start of Excel BEx Analyzer via Web VBScript

Hi all,
at first... all the versions:
SAPGUI 6.40 Patch Level 19, BW 3.5 Addon Patch 9, BI 7.0 with NetWeaver 2004s, Excel 2002 SP3.
I got the following working code to start Excel out of our Intranet, start the BEx Analyzer and connect to our BW:
<html>
<head>
<title>Excel Script</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
sub bwreport()
Dim app
Dim myConnection ' As Object
Dim logonToBW2 ' As Boolean
' Launch Excel
set app = createobject("Excel.Application")
' Make it visible
app.Visible = true
' Open xla file
app.Workbooks.Open("C:ProgrammeSAPFrontEndBWsapbex.xla")
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!sapBEXinit")
' Logon to BW
logonToBW2 = False
Set myConnection = app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXgetConnection")
With myConnection
.client = "001"
.User = "myuser"
.Password = "mypw"
.Language = "de"
.systemnumber = "00"
.ApplicationServer = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
.UseSAPLogonIni = false
.Logon 0, True
If .IsConnected = 0 Then
MsgBox "Verbunden"
.Logon 0, False
If .IsConnected <> 1 Then
MsgBox "Fehler beim Verbinden"
End If
End If
End With
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXinitConnection")
logonToBW2 = True
' Give the user control of Excel
app.UserControl = true
end sub
</SCRIPT>
<P> </P>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick= "bwreport()">Alternative Excel</button>
</body>
</html>
I'm still working on two issues here and hope you can help me:
1.
app.Workbooks.Open("C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\BW\sapbex.xla")
The Webscript will be used by many BW-Users so the full installation path is not the same for all users. Is there a way to start the Analyzer without the full path ?
When I start Excel with "Excel.Application" via OLE out of my Script, then BEx is not automatically loaded, that's why I need the above line.
But when I start Excel manually, it's loaded automatically. So there has to be some way Excel "knows" the location of an installed BEx Add-In. Maybe there is some addition to say Excel to start all it's usual Add-Ins, or to start in standard behaviour ?
2.
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!sapBEXinit")
Before I added this line, I always got the BEx Analyzer title "xxxsapbexxxx" and was unable to use any macros or functionality of the BEx Analyzer.
I found hints and code examples to use "RunAutoMacros" so sapbex.xla is fully initialized but wasn't able to make it work in my code.
So I checked the macros of sapbex.xla and "sapBEXinit" seems to do the job although I'm not sure if this is a complete/clean initialization of the sapbex.
Thx,
Thomas

Welcome to SDN.
First of all thanks for sharing the script, good work.
coming to your first question.
you can get the path by reading the system registry
its under <b>"SAP.BusinessExplorer.Analyzer\path"</b>
if you analyze the FM "RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL" in BW system, you can get the logic for your script.

Error when using BeX Analyzer 7.0 with Excel 2007

When i try to execute a query in BeX analyzer 7.0 and my microsoft excel version is 2007, there will always have a fatal error showing. However, when i use the Bex Analyzer 3.5 , i could execute the query.
Anyway to solve this problem?

You need to do the following
Identify the SAP GUI version you're using, 6.40 or 7.10, and the patch level.
Identify the BW or BI Add-on and patch level of it.
From there, check to see if the versions you have actually support BI 7.0 and Excel 2007. Reliable Excel 2007 support requires failry current patch levels of both the SAP GUI and the corresponding BW/BW Add-ons..
Do you have access to a PC that has a more recent version of the SAP GUI and BW/ BI Add-on? If so, try using that PC and see if you still have the problem.

Create report on hierarchies using Bex Analyzer

Hi sir/mam,
can any one tell me how to create report on hierarchy in BEx Analyzer .
Basically i have an info object which is kept under Rows.what i did wasi simply dragged from Dimensions and dropped that info Object into Rows in Rows/Column pane.But that info object has hierarchy in Dimensions. when i dragged and dropped i only get that info object not with the Hierarchy.Now i have to create a report on that info object with the same Hierarchy as it is in the dimensions .
please tell me the steps how to create hierarchy .

Dolly, welcome to developing in BW.
A hierarchy is considered a 'Property' of a characteristic. You can just right-click on the characteristic and select the hierarchy from the tab titled "Hierarchy" in the properties section. Select "Activate Hierarchy Display" and choose the hierarchy you want to show. You can also use a variable to allow the user to select from all available hierarchies for that characteristic.
(Note that this is for BI 7. BW 3.x involves a similar process, but the interface is a bit different.

When installating the Comp 4 GUI make sure you have selected the BI 7.00 Add-on. There you will also find BW 3.5. For the time being just select BI 7.00 Add-on. The Patch will only update the files if they are already exisiting (installed).

Output comes as No Data Available.
This issue is happening from past 3 days..before that we were able to execute from Analyzer also.
I am wondering has any setting is changed.
Kindly suggest , as this is very important for us to solve ASAP.
Thanks

Hello,
After applying the latest patches for core GUI and BI components, and the MS Office patch (sap Note 1025122), it should work correctly. I have faced the same issue and corrected it by applying these patches. (The MS office that I am using is MSOffice2003.)
Can you try opening the analyzer from the start menu, instead of using transaction RRMX?
If this way it is working correctly, then the softwares pieces are setup correctly.
Then you may want to check the customizations of your BI system. i.e. IF it was upgraded from the BW3.5 system? What strategy are you using for the report migration? The administrator might have changed the settings according to the strategy and current phase of the report migration.
Regards,

Launch of BEx Analyzer via RRMX, other transaction?

Transaction RRMX has been a common means for us to launch the BEx Analyzer in our BW 3.x system. After upgrading to NW04s, transaction RRMX continues to call the 3.x BEx Analyzer. Is there a way to have this call the new NW04s (7.0) BEx Analyzer or perhaps to call it from a different backend transaction?
Regards,
Rod

Hi Bala
We have upgraded our development box to 2004S including front end ( SP9 and FEP 903). As we are not able to perform old 3.5 functionalities in 2004S with FEP 903 we have decided to go back to 3.x Bex Analyzer.
As you explained below, can you please shred some light how to configure to launch only 3.x BEx anayzer from START->PROGRAM->BUISNESS EXPLORER. We dont want to see the 2004S BEx analyzer if we navigate from START menu.
I am able to bring 3.X analyzer through RRMX after making changes in the GLOBAL SETTINGS as you said.
I am not able to locate Analyzer under BEx in my PC as you mentioned below.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\BEx\Analyzer]
"LAUNCH_VERSION"="LEGACY
Can you provide me more details for the sentence "For non NW04s BW system to launch only 3.x BEX, there is a fix that need to be applied to the backend system" as you mentioned previously.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Prasad Talluru

Please Help -- Launch of BEx Analyzer via RRMX?

We have users who access SAP BW reports and are having problem accessing the reports.The cause for this is the latest version of Business Explorer Release 2004's 7004.4.0.5. According to corporate standards, users need to have Business Explorer 3.5 version only and this will be supported correctly.
How do we configure to launch only 3.x BEx anayzer from RRMX?
We dont want to see the 2004S BEx analyzer.
I am able to bring 3.X analyzer through RRMX after making changes in the GLOBAL SETTINGS for individual user.
How can we do this setting on every PC in the company without going to each PC and fixing it? We have around 800 users.

Hi
I am trying to find out what version we are in SAP BW. I tried to go to tcode - SAINT or SPAM or RSA1-->system status to find the version (SP>=10) as per Chetan.
It was bit confusing for me to see which the right SP was. I have asked the basis to give me update on this.
If we are in SP>=10, who would do the changes? Can you please let me know?
I would like to thank every body who are helping me. I would give more points once I am able to solve this.
Thanks again.

RWD Uperform and BW (Using BEX Analyzer)

We are currently trying to record our BW/BI training materials with uPerform. When we try to execute the actual query to produce the report while recording, our PCs lock up and no results are returned. It actually takes closing out UPerform and BEX to get the system operational again.
Is anyone else having problems with BEX and UPerofrm?
We have tried changing settings within UPerform but have had no luck.
Suggestions anyone?
Thank you for any help...

We finally received this following information from RWD:
I believe this may be a recently discovered issue with recording Business Warehouse while the Recorder toolbar/window is visible. Could you try minimizing the toolbar before starting the recording and see if that resolves the issue? To minimize the toolbar, you will need to click the button that looks like a window with a red arrow pointing down.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If not, I should be able to set up a Webex session to troubleshoot this afternoon before 2 PM if you are available.
Thanks,
Chandra Mullineaux | RWD Senior Product Support Specialist | RWD Technologies | www.rwd.com
I was able to record a UPerform with the minimized tool bar, but the results in the task and screen flow section are of no use.
The Procedure did record with partial screen prints (not always the relevant data), but with the direction of 'Click Control'.
So technically this fix works, but the documentation is still pretty useless.
