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).

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 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.

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:

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.

BI Publisher Template Builder for Excel

I re-installed Oracle BI publisher desktop 11.1.1.7.0 32bit on my computer (Windows 7, Office Pro Plus 2010)
Before the re-installation, I could access the BI Publisher tab in the ribbon for Word and Excel. Now, since the re-install, I can't acces the tab.
I made sure Analyzer for Excel was removed before installing the new version.
The version of BI Publisher Enterprise that we are running is 11.1.1.5.0
Someone has a clue why i'm unable to acces the tab?

I looked in the Add-ins and tried to enable BI publisher template builder, but no success.
I checked the case to load at Startup, closed Word and Excel, even rebooted my computer... still, the tab doesn't show up. I can see it's in my list of add-ins, but for some reason, I can't enable it.

Analyser for Excel and Microsoft Visual J# Framework ???

Hi
In BIP, I open the report sample "Employee Salary Report" with "Advanced Page Totals" template and then I click "Analyzer for Excel"
After activate the macro and the report be opened in Excel, I choose the option "Oracle BI Publisher -> Connection" and a dialog box appears with a message to invite me to download (it give me an URL) the following file :
"Microsoft Visual J# Framework version 2.0".
I follow the instruction to install this package (I try the english and french version) but after reboot, in Excel, instead of having the windows connection to BIP, the message to install microsoft product, continues to appear.
I don't know why and where is the problem.
Plateforme
Laptop with :
- BIP standalone 10.1.3.3.2 (with preference "UI Language" and "Report Local" in french) and his desktop tool
- Bise1 Database (I launch only the bise1 database instance to use the OE and HR schema)
- Windows XP Pro SP3 in fr
- Excel 2003 SP3 in fr
If you have the same one or an explanation...
Thank in advance for your answers
Christophe

Hi
Your response has allowed me to solve the problem.
Now it work.
To be consistent with the Framework 3.0 uninstall, I also unistall "Module language support of Microsoft. NET Framework 3.0 FRA".
However, I did not uninstall "Microsoft Visual J# 2.0 Redistributable Package - SE"
Thank you very much for your answer.

Excel Trying to Load PowerPivot Add-in (version 11.1.3129.0) for Excel 2010 even after Uninstalltion of the Add-in.

Hi all,
I am trying to Package and deploy Powerpivot Add-in for Excel 2010. I have the Powerpivot_X86_(11.1.329.0) .MSI which installs Unattended, but Uninstallation will not remove entry from COM ADD-IN list in Excel and at first re-launch (even after
Power Pivot Uninstallation) it will try to load Powerpivot add-in and will give an error.
Downloading file.///c:/Program files (x86)/Microsoft analysis services/AS Excel Client/110/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Addin.VSTO did not succeed.
this above path is the [InstallDir] which gets wiped off with the unistallation of the .MSI. So, before uninstallation,I stop the excel process and am running a script to delete HKCU Add-in Reg key entries.
and also, I thought it may be implicitly loading the add-in from folder such as,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\XLstart
%appdata%\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
but nothing is installed there.
Second Issue
when I re-install,
it doesn't automatically show up in the Excel ribbon (even after reboot and even if regeistries are created at the same location) but instead we should add it through COM ADD-IN list in Excel Manually.
Appreciate any idea's and suggestion's.
P.S
is it possible to make it completely installed per system rather having user entries?

Guys, I think I solved the
issue:
Symptoms
1. Power Pivot SQL 2012 32-bit installed over the old version without
deinstalling it
2. Installed with a user with administrator rights
3. It worked under the profile with admin rights, it didn't work under the
normal users w/o admin rights and threw this error message: Downloading file.///c:/Program files (x86)/Microsoft analysis services/AS Excel Client/10/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Addin.VSTO
did not succeed.
4. In the admin profile, it went to the path "110": C:/Program
Files (x86)/Microsoft Analysis Services/AS Excel
Client/110/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList.vsto
5. In the normal profile, it went to the - wrong - "10" path:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Analysis Services/AS Excel
Client/10/Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList.vsto
SOLUTION
1. ADMIN: Installed VSTO 4.0
2. ADMIN: Checked if the .NET Programmability Support was installed - it was -
if not, install it!
3. NORMAL USER: Create a .reg file (Backup your registry before!) and
use it UNDER THE NORMAL USER!!!
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList]
"Description"="Microsoft SQL Server PowerPivot for Microsoft Excel"
"FriendlyName"="PowerPivot for Excel"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
"Manifest"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Analysis Services\\AS
Excel Client\\110\\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XLHost.Addin.vsto|vstolocal"
"CartridgePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Analysis
Services\\AS OLEDB\\110\\Cartridges\\"
4. NORMAL USER: Rename the registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList"
into
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User
Settings\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Modeler.FieldList_old"
5. NORMAL USER: Start up Power Pivot and it should
work now!
Analysis
IMHO the issue lies in the fact, that the Power Pivot
installer creates two problems:
The first issue is that the path to the add-in under
the NORMAL user is simply wrong and points to a wrong location (the
"10" in the path). In the admin profile, where it was originally
installed, it points to the "110" path which is correct.
The second issue is that the installation procedure
somehow needs to create a registry key (the one under point 4 in the solution)
to complete it self and if this key already exists it fails to install and
throws up weird error messages. If you delete or rename this key, it is created
again (exactly in the same way) but then everything works out.
Hope this
helps!

BEx formula change not working in existing Analysis for Olap/Analysis for Excel reports

Hello all,
I posted this in Analysis for OLAP, but there has been no response so I'm hoping perhaps you BEx experts can help me.
I had to modify a formula in a Bex query to have it calculate the results of the formula by summation.
I checked the query using BEx Analyzer and it summed correctly. If I create a new analysis for olap report, it sums correctly.
If I modify an existing report, it does not pick up the change. Existing Analysis for Excel reports also do not pick up the new summary calculation.
Using the CMC, I edited the connection and reselected the Bex query, but that did not work either.
Here it is working in the query:
Line Discount is a formula with logic checking to see if "product list price total amount" is 0, set the line discount to 0; otherwise calculate it as "product list price total amount" - Net Sale. So the total needs to sum of the line discounts (0+2820+2820 = 5640) and not be the Overall result "product list price total amount" - Overall Result "net sale" (13960-96720= -82760).
Here it is in an existing Webi report - working:
Here is what is happening in an existing Analysis for OLAP report - not working:
I also tried to unselect Line Discount as a key figure from the existing report and reselect it, but that did not work.
I'd like to find a solution so that all the reports that use this query won't have to be rewritten.
I'm on BW 7.0 EP 1 SP 10 and BI 4.0 SP7 Patch 5.
Thank you for your help,
Susan

Hi,
Apply Exception aggregation on line discount formula--Exception aggregation as Total---Reference characteristic as Promega product.
Make sure to refresh the webi report once after the changes has been done.
If this does not work then you can apply summation calculation for that column at webi level as well.

BPC for Excel selection screens trouble

Hi, all!
In our BPC network there are some client machines which have strange trouble in BPC for Excel. When we try login to Excel, Run DM package and select members from CV and run others menu where exists selection screen we see black rectangle where should be text. (Examples:durin login to Excel - at Selection of Connection options (Use default port or Use secured port); during Run DM package - Selection of when to run package(Run now, Schedule or Run now & Schedule); at screen of Member selector of dimension - Data view (Hierachy or Table)). Client machine - Win XP SP3, Excel 2003 SP3. We try reinstall BPC for Excel, Excel, try different client BPC for Excel - 5.1 and 7.0 and it didn't help
Thanks, for help.
Best regards,
Iaroslav

Hello,
A similar problem was reported a while ago in an older version of the product. Our development team after analyzing the issue notified the probelm was caused by the color scheme selected on the client
machine because our dialog boxes use that color scheme.
Please set your color scheme to default and see if that fixes the problem.

Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel - Unattended installation

Hi.
I would lige the Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel to be installed silently, but it seems only to be possible for a Per-User installation with the parameter "setup.exe /passive"
I need the installation to be for All Users, but I can´t find any parameter that makes that possible.

Hi,
Based on your description, your required could be done via logon scripts. Please see the below steps:
1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste, or type, the following:
Const ENGINEERING_GROUP = "cn=engineering"
Const FINANCE_GROUP = "cn=finance"
Const HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP = "cn=human resources"
Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "h:",
"\\FileServer\Users\" & wshNetwork.UserName
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" &
ADSysInfo.UserName)
strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf))
If InStr(strGroups, ENGINEERING_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Engineering\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\EngLaser"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\Plotter"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\EngLaser"
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, FINANCE_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Finance\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\FinLaser"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\FinLaser"
ElseIf InStr(strGroups, HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP) Then
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:",
"\\FileServer\Human Resources\"
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection
"\\PrintServer\HrLaser"
wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter
"\\PrintServer\HrLaser"
End If
3. On the File menu, click Save As.
4. In Save in, click the directory that corresponds to the domain controller's Netlogon shared folder (usually SystemRoot\SYSVOL\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts where DomainName is the domain's fully qualified domain name).
5. In Save as type, click All Files.
6. In File name, type a file name, followed by .vbs, and then click Save. WSH uses the .vbs extension to identify files that contain VBScript commands.

Gauges for Excel - Power View

Hi,
does anyone know free gauges for Excel/Power View like speedometer, thermometer, etc.
Many thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, the error message "Bing error: Map tiles not found. A connection to Bing could not be established " will pop up when Powerview map can't access the Bing map server. (Quote From: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/774162/cache-power-view-map )
Thus, I suppose that this issue might be caused by your Network environment changed. When you used the power view map in your company desktop, it might be set some proxy server to connect the Bing map server, but when you put the daskboard to your laptop,
the proxy server had not been set, the powerview map can't find the right port to access the Bing map server. Please check the different network/proxy server settings between work computer and laptop computer.
Hope it's helpful.

Can I use NI Measure for Excel for stimulus response sequence?

it seems the NI software 'Measure' for Excel allows for simple AI or AO but
not sequential AO/AI, e.g. stim AO measure AI repeat for N rows of data.
I can do one or the other but cannot see how to setup a button to
do such a sequence. It is amazing to me that such basic functionality
is not available out-of-the box, or am I missing something?
Are there any more detailed VBA examples available online other
than the extremely rudimentary ones provided on the CD?
Apparently, this 'Measure' product hasnt been updated since 1998?
Does this lack of development indicate there is a better alternative
for doing Excel-based data acquisition?
tia

I have see this KB before.
But I don't understand the simultaneous sampling.
"E-Series Data Acquisition Cards multiplex all acquired signals to a single A/D converter. This introduces a slight phase delay between the acquired signals. In the case of the Lock-In Amplifier, the signal to be analyzed would then be phased relative to the acquired reference signal. That phase delay would adversely affect the phase accuracy of the Lock-In Amplifier."
It mean I still can use E-series DAQ card, but the phase maybe not the real phase?
If I can use the E-series DAQ card for a Lock-in Amplifier, what should I change the Lock-in amplifier start-up kit?
Thanks
