Advanced Analysis for Office 1.1 - default workbook location

Is there a registry setting for the default workbook location?  We are deploying Analysis for Office via Citrix and would like all users to use the same default workbook.  By default, that setting is pointing to a location specific to the current user.
Anyone else deploying this way?
Thanks.

This setting is not managed by a registry key but by a file setting. You will find an xml file in the following folder after installing Analysis for Office:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\SAP AG\SAP BusinessObjects Advanced Analysis\Settings\Document
So to publish a global workbook template you would have to - as part of your rollout - push a global workbook template (excel file) into the users install directory + push an updated version of the xml file from the above file directory into the users Appdata... folder refering to that workbook template file.
Best regards,

  • Need workflow for Advanced Analysis for Office for Sizing

    Hi,
    I am in the process of sizing for BO solution .
    Part of that exercise is to find out how much cpu and memory are required for AAO?
    So i thought trace the AAO workflow and understand which BO services/servers it requires.
    If anyone any idea about it workflow, please share.
    Thanks,
    Srikar

    Hi Srikar,
    Analysis for office goes directly to SAP BW / SAP HANA for data retrieval, so there is no need to consider it as part of your sizing exercise.
    There is a note though about client Hardware and Software requirements:
    1466118 - Hardware & Software requirements for Advanced Analysis
    The only exception here is the new scheduling capability of Analysis for Office in the BI Platform, in that case the Adaptive Job Server is used.

  • BOBJ Advanced Analysis for Office patch SP10

    I imported the analysis product into my existing SAP Installation Server.  When I import patch 5 or patch 8, no problem.  But when I import patch 10 and then check server, it says I'm missing 12 files.  If I try to install to a workstation I see the same errors (11 files).  If you just apply patch 10 directly to a workstation without using the installation server, it gives no errors.  It seems that the install script for the server is just wrong.  Some of the files it is looking for are actually missing.  Others are there in the AAO folder, but they're not in the subfolders that it's looking in.  Has anyone else seen this and is there a solution?  Thanks.
    It's not pretty, but here's a paste of the text from the sapsetuperrors xml file.

    Hello Jurg,
    First, try to uninstall what you have and restart the workstation installed. Download the latest version of the Analysis Office, for the 1.0 is the SP12 and for the 1.1 is the SP4. After install it and check how it will work.
    Pay attention if your are trying to install the 1.1. We have 2 files, the 32 and 64 bit.
    Thanks

  • YTD calculation from BEx is not working in Advance Analysis for OLAP/OR Office

    I have AA for OLAP based on BEx. There are YTD calculation in BEx Designer: User enters Period in variable, and in user exits, the Period Range is populated as "1 ~ UserEnteredValue" in second variable. In BEx, YTD is calculated based on the Restrictive KF for the period range, calculated in User Exit. This is working fine in BEx Analyzer, however in Advance Analysis (for OLAP OR in Ofice), the YTD value is not coming up they way it is in BEx Analyzer...
    Anybody has any clue, why??
    Thanking all of you in advance  

    Hello Sharma
    If something is working for BEx Analyzer but not for Analysis OLAP or Analysis Office then this typically (but not always) indicates an issue with the BICS (BI Consumer Services) component.
    I would suggest you contact support about this so the appropriate logs can be captured and the issue investigated by the BICS team.
    Regards

  • How can I avoid query result overlapping in Analysis for Office?

    Hello everybody
    I have a question relating to Analysis for Office. If I've a workbook with for example two queries, how can I avoid that the query above the other one overlaps the query results of the lower query?
    The lower query result should adapt according the the query results of the first query.
    Does anybody have an idea? In Bex Analyzer I have the Option to insert a scrollbar for a workbook- is this function available in Analysis für Office? (But that way isn't the way I prefer).
    Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards
    Heike

    Not sure about this - could you take a look at this thread that suggests VBA Placing two tables in Analysis for office without overlap
    I am wondering if the next release might help?  See Figure 1 of Analysis Roadmap Update - Beta Preview, Part 2

  • Analysis for Office and Sharepoint Integration

    Hi everyone,
    we're looking for a possibility to open Analysis for Office Excel documents directly within SharePoint.
    The BO Integration kit doesn't seem to support Analysis for Office documents.
    Is it possible to use the Excel Services within SharePoint?
    Is there any other way to open the Analysis document directly within SharePoint as this is possible for "standard" Excel-Documents?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Best regards,
    Torben

    Hi Michael,
    the problem I am facing is not the generation of an OpenDocument link, I was already able to build one, but the passing of parameters to the Analysis workbook.
    For example, I have an Analysis workbook based on a SAP query with a mandatory BEx variable. With the OpenDocument link I want to set the value of the variable dynamically.
    Best regards

  • Defining operator in Analysis for office.

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to put <= operator on calender day field in analysis for office. I'm so use to webi that didn't realize there's no option/feature in analysis that can directly let me select an operator to achieve the results. I'm working on a report that needs all the transactions processed before a certain date.
    Is there any way i can use a operator to get the desired results.
    Let me know if more information is required on this .
    Thanks
    GD Bhatt

    hi Gaurav,
    One option you could consider is using the filter feature in the document itsels.
    Select an empty cell, and then insert the filter for the desired object:
    Once the filter is in the excel, go into the input cell and edit the excel formula. Your default formula would probably look like this:
    =SAPSetFilterComponent("DS_1", "0CALDAY", "ALL").
    You can then use the formula editor to change it to- =SAPSetFilterComponent("DS_1", "0CALDAY", "ALL","LOWERBOUNDARY").
    hope this helps

    Hello tammy,
    I did check the Admin Guide for Analysis Office: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AMS13/en/13_aaoffice_admin_en.pdf
    From what I understand:
    - Analysis for Office software needs to be installed on the individual PC of the users who want to use it.
    - This will enable an option on the MS Excel/MS Word/etc. called Advanced Analysis
    - The user can directly connect to the BW system. The data available to the user depends on the Authorization that the user has in BW system.
    - There is no additional Security needed for "Analysis Office" itself.
    Please correct me if I have missed anything.

  • Analysis for Office support multi thread?

    Does Analysis for Office support multi thread/core? If so, what verison? I tried searching around this site as well as note 1466118 - Hardware & Software requirements for Analysis, edition for MS Office but was unable to find an answer.
    I am on an Intel dual cpu with hyper threading turned on so it essentially looks like 4 cores. When I execute an Analysis View, I rarely see the EXCEL.EXE process go above 25% CPU utilization. I have plenty of RAM and hard drive space.
    64bit Windows 7
    32bit Office 2010
    AAO 1.3.5.2288
    Thanks

    I found the following info at:
    Excel 2010 Performance: Performance and Limit Improvements
    Large Data Sets and 64-bit Excel
    The 64-bit version of Excel 2010 is not constrained to 2 GB of RAM like 32-bit applications. Therefore, 64-bit Excel 2010 enables users to create much larger workbooks. 64-bit Windows enables a larger addressable memory capacity, and 64-bit Excel is designed to take advantage of that capacity. For example, users are able to fill more of the grid with data than was possible in previous versions of Excel. As more RAM is added to the computer, Excel uses that additional memory, allows larger and larger workbooks, and scales with the amount of RAM available.
    In addition, because 64-bit Excel enables larger data sets, both 32-bit and 64-bit Excel 2010 introduce improvements to common large data set tasks such as entering and filling down data, sorting, filtering, and copying and pasting data. Memory usage is also optimized to be more efficient, in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Excel.
    Multi-Core Processing
    Additional investments were made to take advantage of multi-core processors and increase performance for routine tasks. Starting in Excel 2010, the following features use multi-core processors: saving a file, opening a file, refreshing a PivotTable (for external data sources, except OLAP and SharePoint), sorting a cell table, sorting a PivotTable, and auto-sizing a column.
    For operations that involve reading and loading or writing data, such as opening a file, saving a file or refreshing data, splitting the operation into two processes increases performance speed. The first process gets the data, and the second process loads the data into the appropriate structure in memory or writes the data to a file. In this way, as soon as the first process beings reading a portion of data, the second process can immediately start loading or writing that data, while the first process continues to read the next portion of data. Previously, the first process had to finish reading all the data in a certain section before the second process could load that section of the data into memory or write the data to a file.

  • Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded in Advanced Analysis for Excel

    I am getting a "Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded" error when performing a drill-down in Advanced Analysis for Excel.  Is the limit 65,000 rows in Excel?  I was able to get a drill-down of 39,000 rows to work, but failed when I exceeded 60,000 rows.
    I am using Advanced Analysis for Excel v1 SP5 and Excel 2007.
    Thanks.

    Hi Everyone;
    I am running advanced analysis reports on HANA as datasource and I am getting the message Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded whenever I have a larger output. I have noticed that in the admin guide and in other SCN posts about this setting in Windows Registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\AdvancedAnalysis\Settings\DataSource]
    "ShowBicsSample"="True"
    "ResultSetSizeLimit"="-1"
    But I am having hard time finding this setting in my windows registry; can someone help me understand why I don't have it in my registry? and how to find it and change this setting?
    FYI...I am using Office 2010.

  • BO 4.0 Advanced Analysis for OLAP - The MDAS service encountered an error.

    Hi guru's,
    We are running BO 4.0 SP02 Patch 11 with SAP BW 7 and experiencing the following error with Advanced Analysis for OLAP:
    "Analysis edition for OLAP
    The MDAS service encountered an error."
    After you click show details:
    "com.crystaldecisions.thirdparty.org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL  minor code: 0x0  completed: No"
    I have researched into this and found forums such as:
    http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2053481
    SAP KB 1560100 - BI4.0 Advanced Analysis Web problem: The MDAS Service encountered an error
    SAP KB 1661163 - An error is generated when selecting a query or cube in Analysis for OLAP: Error 15
    However, none of these have helped our situation too much.
    We have rebuilt the windows server 2008 R2 recently, hence the process we followed was a fresh install of BO 4.0 SP02 platform & tools, and then patch 11 on top of these.
    Crystal, WEBI's (using the same BICS connections as the AA's) and Dashboards are all working as per expected.
    The errors are for every AA including ones with only 2 variable selections (light queries) to ones with many more. Hence it is platform wide for Advanced Analysis.
    I have also tried creating new AA using existing BICS, new BICS existing AA, new BICS new AA all with no luck.
    We have also created new Adaptive Processing Servers with only the MDAS as a common service, turned on tracing etc but nothing springs to us as to what is going wrong.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
    Thanks all,

    Hi All,
    After conversing with SAP support technicians we have found what is causing this issue.
    On the windows servers we have the following installed locally:
    - BO platform 4.0 SP02
    - BO platform 4.0 SP02 patch 11
    - BO client tools 4.0 SP02
    - BO client tools 4.0 SP02 patch 11
    - Crystal reports 2011 SP02
    - Crystal reports 2011 SP02 patch 11
    - Crystal reports for Ent SP02
    - Crystal reports for Ent SP02 patch 11
    It seems that the crystal reports 2011 or cr for Ent was causing an issue in the .WAR files that BOE uses to run Advanced Analysis for OLAP.
    After uninstalling the two crystal products and removing any left over cr files in program files on the server, AA for OLAP works successfully in our environment.
    The other point after this was i stopped the tomcat and SIA, i renamed the BOE folder under <install dir>\SAP BO4.0\Tomcat6\webapps and restarted the tomcat and then the SIA. In 4.0 when the tomcat is started again it will go and recreate the BOE folder from the BO directories effectively recreating the apps .WAR files under the webapps\BOE folder.
    SAP will hopefully document this issue for other clients.
    Cheers,
