Analyzer for Excel and Office 2007: Issue on Data Refresh and Parameters

Hi all,
for a customer BIP workshop I want to prepare a demo and experience a strange issue. Hope this is known and bugfix or workaround exists.
Created a very simple demo report with two columns and a numeric parameter. Called Excel Analyzer, the document opens correctly in Excel, data are filtered properly using the parameters initial value. I always have to log in to BI Publisher Server first, when a new instance of Excel is opened.
Then I choose 'Show parameters' from the BIP add-on menu. My parameter is shown with its correct inital value. But: After pressing 'Refresh Data' (regardless if parameter value has been changed or not), a VBA error message (Code 1004) occurs. Then the excel cursor remains hourglass and no BIP related function is available in this opened Excel instance anymore.
And another thing: After choosing 'Show Parameters' there appears a new empty column under 'Report Parameters' and the first cells of the table data are overwritten with parameter values.
Think, something goes wrong there with Excel 2007. Unfortunately I only can use this version.
Thanks in advance for hints. If I cannot fix this until Friday, customer will probably not be exalted by BIP :( .

fschulze,
I face the same issue in Excel 2003: Run-time error 91, Object variable or With block variable not set.
This happens everytime when I try to refresh the data after I open a saved excel template. But the refresh works fine when the report is initially downloaded using the Analyzer for Excel button
Have you found the workaround for this problem ?
Thanks.

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

Hi,
Check your support package and patch level of your BEx Suite. BI 7.10 Support Package 6 Patch 1 works fine with Excel 2007.
You might also want to check your installation using the file "sapbexc.xla" on your hard drive. You should find it in C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\Bw or similar, although i'm not quite sure this works with BI 7...

Pub 6.4 and Office 2007 file extensions.

Hello all,
I had an issue pop up recently regarding ALUI 6.5.1, Publisher 6.4, and Office 2007 files.
Our user base was upgraded to Office 07 several months ago, and we modified our crawlers to handle the new file extensions. We also have a Publisher portlet where users can post various for sale items; kind of a company bulletin board. This portlet uses the News template and sometimes users will attempt to publish a Word or Excel document link to accompany their for sale item. The portlet will publish okay, but when we click on the doc link we get a pop up window that shows the file name with a .ZIP extension and not the correct .DOCX or .XLSX extension. Of course the file does not open either.
Other than instructing users to save files in the older format/name, is there a way for Publisher 6.4 to support the new file extensions of Office 07? Would this work in Pub 6.5?
Thanks for any help.

Any solution to this?
We are on Publisher 6.5 and are getting the same error.
I'm assuming this is an issue with the Publisher mime-types (which aren't the same as the general portal mime-types) not being set for the new extensions?
But it is curious that it is redoing them as .zip files!

Having problems with OPA 10 and office 2007 templates

Hi,
I have a OPA 10 and office 2007 set up which is having some issues with the macros. Seems to me that the visual basic code is not kicking off really well sometimes. I am trying to map the sequence which leads to the errors and I believe that the issue is around opening an old word doc which has a old template version (.dot). This may be the cause for OPA getting lost when working with word 2007.
For example, I ask to open a rules doc and the visual basic tells me that OPA couldn't open the doc but word is opening the doc anyway. However none of the toolbar commands work as well as I can 't save the doc etc.
Have you experienced any issue with OPA 10 and Office 2007? Any special word configuration? Should i go back to office 2003?
BTW, I have both dotm and dot templates loaded as add-ins in word. The dotm toolbar looks good but the dot toolbar is a bit strange in 2007.
Cheers,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
Have a look at the following tips from Davin Fifield about troubleshooting the toolbar.
Sometimes when using Oracle Policy Modeling, Microsoft Word documents that are part of a Policy Modeling project may appear without the OPA toolbar (in Office 2003) or OPA options on the Add-Ins ribbon (in Office 2007) when opened in Microsoft Word.
This problem can be caused by various factors.
Here are the top three troubleshooting steps to try to recover from this situation.
1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
2. Try changing the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options, from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Selet General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.
Does this resolve your issue?

Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2007 Problem

I posted this in the CS3 forum originally. They told me to post here too.
Issue:
When logged in as a local user (no admin rights) Word 2007 will crash the whole computer when you type a key.
The reason I am posting on Adobe forums is that this only happens when CS3 is installed as well on the same computer.
Troubleshooting:
Both products work fine as a local user account, if only one or the other are installed.
During login, Acrobat Pro will display a MSI/Installer progress bar for about 30secs. After I updated Acrobat to 8.1.3, that stops, but the Word crashing problem doesn't.
When starting Office, setup runs everytime. It shows just a progress bar and goes for about 1min.
On a doc, if I wait about 5min and don't do anything. A MSI install progress bar will run for "MS Office 2007 Pro", this will re-spawn for several mins. until it finally stops. After that, Word IS usable.
No other problems with CS3.
Fully updated both CS3 and Office 2007
This could very well be an Office issue, but it is associated with CS3 also being installed on the same computer.
Any help would be great!

Forgot again! Using XP Pro sp2 and sp3.

Agree, this looks like an interaction between Acrobat 8 and Microsoft Office. The symptom you used to see (prior to 8.1.3) was probably Acrobat's "self-healing" process trying to fix something in Office, probably related to the PDFMaker feature that is installed into Office. Perhaps you have a somewhat unconventional installation of Office 2007 with custom registry settings?
Also, you mention that Word "crashes the whole computer" - are you referring to a BSOD or what? Word (and the Acrobat plug-ins for PDFMaker) don't go into any protected mode that can cause a full system crash. Very strange!

RoboHelp x5 and Office 2007

Does anyone know if you are able to operate RoboHELP x5 and Office 2007 without it shutting down with errors. Currently we have a help system set up and we were updated to Office 2007 late March. We are now having quite a few difficulties making changes to documents that needed updates. Usually the documents were loaded as MS Word docs and then during compiling transformed to .html files. Now with the Office 2007, RoboHELP doesn't want to import any documents because of the fact that X5 doesn't support Office 2007. Is it possible to import the files as .html files instead to sidestep this issue? Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I am a new user of RoboHELP with limited people who know how this program works.
Thanks!

Not a chance. Sorry but you will have to upgrade.

Cannot install nor uninstall Analyzer for Excel add-in

When I try to run the Analyzer installer executable, which was downloaded directly from our BI Publisher server version 10.1.3.2, the installer only asks if I wish to UNinstall the add-in. Since I have no other choice, I say yes, thinking I can start all over. It goes through it's cute little progress bars and states that it finished uninstalling. No matter how many times I run the installer, it always asks if I want to uninstall the currently installed add-in.
The add-in does NOT appear in the list of installed add-ins inside Excel.
That's just for starters. If I open an Excel Analyzer template workbook, the 'Oracle BI Publisher' menu appears. When I try to login, it says that the add-in must be updated, so I confirm. Then it successfully connects to our BI Publisher server, and starts downloading/installing various files. But this process terminates with an error, stating that the update process failed, and I will not be able to refresh the data.
There is an entry in the Windows Add/Remove Programs utillity that corresponds to the Excel Analyzer Add-in. No matter how many times I click the Remove button, this item will not be removed from the list. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 and repeating this entire process. The result is always the same. I can neither install nor uninstall the Analyzer add-in.
Is there any way to make the installer re-install the Analyzer without thinking it's already installed? Is there some utility provided by Oracle that will manually remove the mess that is Analyzer for Excel?
I HATE the Analyzer for Excel, but it's the only interface to our data warehouse that everyone is skilled enough to use.

After failing to uninstall the program again, I tried using the 'Repair' option of the XMLPReportAddinSetup.msi package. That seemed to finish normally.
So then I tried to open an Analyzer template file. It opened, but when I tried to use the 'Login' item from the 'Oracle BI Publisher' menu, it said it needed to update the add-in. Instead of updating it, I chose to UNINSTALL the program, because I thought it would now have enough pieces to complete the uninstallation. It still won't uninstall. It is still listed in Add/Remove programs.
The next time I did the whole process again, and when I got to the point where the add-in says it needs to update from the server, I confirmed. This update again failed with an error.
I still cannot uninstall the program. I noticed also that the date on the program in the Add/Remove Programs listing is from Sept 30, not today.

Analyzer for excel - timeout

Hi,
I installed the plugin excel of BI Publisher
When I try to connect to the analyzer for excel, and the query takes longer than 15 minutes. Exceed the time.
Where I can to modify this parameter? In Weblogic?
Thanks.

I should clarify the output a bit better. Originally I get 30 rows of data, one for each Hub. After I add that last RET_INV group, I now get 900 rows of output. It produces the same first 30 rows, with the extra RET_INV column, and then duplicates that 30 times (which is suspicious).

Error when trying to email report using Analyzer for Excel template

I have a report for which I have created both "RTF" and "Analyzer for Excel" based templates. I can email the report using the RTF template, but when I try to email it using the A4E template (using the 'Send' button from the report screen), it never arrives. If I schedule the report to be emailed, it fails, and I get the following error information:
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.data.DataException: Invalid format requested: html
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.generateReport(XDOJob.java:959)

Caused by: oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.data.DataException: Invalid format requested: html
Ideas?

HI,
Is this qury is running fine in SQL?? Have you checked this query in Sql server(Management studio) whether working or not??.
I feel there is some mismatch with relations in query.. Cross check your query once in SQL itself. once it is running well, we will take a look.

Internet Exporer 8 and Office 2007 Supported?

We currently have a client running BOE XI R2, and they are considering deploying Internet Explorer 8 and Office 2007. They use Web Intelligence as their main reporting environment.
Does anyone know if IE 8 and Office 2007 are officially supported at any BOE version? I have been unable to find the Supported Platforms document on the new SAP site.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello Tim,
What SP/FP are you on?
In any case, Office 2007 is supported on SP5. IE 8 is not supported. The newest supported version of IE is 7.
The Support Platforms document is available at the Business Object Article site [here|Articles].
