Authorization issues in Bex Analyzer

Hello,
Can somebody help me with an authorization challenge Im working on? For certain reports a user should me authorized to see key figures for a certain area and this area is divided into several units. This is the high level report authorization. But when they want to see more detail in the report (the can drill down the person responsible or the customer for example) the user is only allowed to see the key figures of his own unit. To make this possible we have created two authorization roles:
Role 1
Area                          *
Unit                          11
Person Responsible          *
Customer               *
Role 2
Area                    *
Unit                    *
Person Responsible          :
Customer               :
When executing the query with the characteristics area and unit in the rows and person responsible and Customer in the free characteristics there are no authorization issues. But when in the query result the user wants to drill down person responsible the error message You do not have authorization to read object XXX. I expected that the details would only be shown for unit 11. To be able to show the details the user must now first remove the drill down, filter the unit they have authorization for and then drill down the person responsible again. This is considered a workaround but not desirable. Is there a different way to solve this issue?
Kind Regards,
Petra van Noort

Hi,
Have you tried to include a authorization variable on your report that filters 'Unit'?
I'm not sure of what will happen if you use it (maybe you'll always filter your report on '11' unit, or maybe you get different filter values depending on your drill down status, which is what you want).
It's just a thought...
Regards,
David.

Issue with Bex Analyzer installation

Hi
I am working on BI 7, I had install all the patches that r relevant to BI 7.

Authorization issue regarding Bex Query

Hi All,
User Requirement: When ever the user is executing the report in Design Studio, user can able to see all the company codes (summary data) in the main page of the dashboard. If user wants to drill down to a particular Comp code, then user should access only which are authorized. Ex: If the user Test4444 is executing the report, then he/she can able to see all the comp codes data in the main page of the dashboard. If the user wants to drill down further to see the comp code wise data, then he/she should not allowed to see except comp code-4444 or what and all authorized .
Back ground work:
I have a Bex query, which is using the Design Studio. In this query, "0COMP_CODE" is a char InfoObj and I have created a Auth variable on this InfoObj. There are 4 autho objects created based on this "0COMP_CODE". And also 4 Roles and 4 users have created.
Each autho_Objet has assigned to that corresponding Role and that Role is assigned to that correspond User. Details are as follows.
Autho_Objet
Role
UserID
ZTEST_MAIN (which includes all - 23 compny codes)
ZMain_Role
All users have to access this role
ZTEST_1111 (which includes only CC- 1111
Z1111_Role
Test1111
ZTEST_2222 (Which Includes only CC - 2222)
Z2222_Role
Test2222
ZTEST_3333 (Which Includes only CC - 3333)
Z3333_Role
Test3333
ZTEST_4444 (Which Includes only CC - 4444)
Z4444_Role
Test4444
To achieve this requirement, I have created 1 auth.object for all Comp.Codes and assigned to one main role and this role is assigned to all users. This looks fine and hopefully it will work.
The problem is the next step of drill down to comp.code. Here I have created individual autho.object per Role per User and mapped accordingly. Unfortunately, user can able to access all the comp.codes data because of the main role assigned. I got stuck here in this second level restriction. Could some one can through a light how we can achieve this in authorization. It would be a great assistance if some one help here. I would be much appreciated and grateful to your assistance and inputs. Thank you in advance!

Venkat...

In the role ZTEST_MAIN,
You need to remove all company codes as this is overriding the rest
Then add aggregate authorization, ie "0COMP_CODE" = ":"
This is a special authorization which grants authorization to see the summation of all the 0COMP_CODE without giving detailed authorization to any.
The rest of your design is fine.
You should then use RSECADMIN to check any authorization issue you have.

RRI sending restrictions issue in BEx Analyzer - Known SP Issue?

We have two queries linked through an RRI interface that is designed to "send" a restriction of one characteristic when the user right clicks on the cell containing the value they want to see in the second ("Goto") query and selects "Goto" and the second query's name. This interface works fine on my machine with both my ID and the test ID the users are using to test these reports. My machine is on SP8, Patch 1 Revision 1443. However, when the users execute the same query and try the RRI they see the second query with all of the values in that column, not just the one they "selected". They are on SP7, Patch 1 Revision 1352. Is this a known issue with this version of Analyzer? I have been searching around and can't find any documentation saying so, but something "official" from SAP that documents this would be perfect to recommend and upgrade to SP8 to fix this problem.
Thanks!

Hi Somenath,
Are you sure that all the data in cube is affected? I mean also the data loaded in cube before GUI upgrade?
I have a feeling that instead of GUI upgrade something happened to the background user that is extracting the data in source system. E.g. this user master data has changed - in decimal format.
So check the user and check data loaded before/after change of GUI.

Formatting issues in BEx Analyzer

Hello friends
I need your help regarding the following problem.
I have created a Workbook in BEx 04s which has 4 queries on multiple worksheets. Now I am trying to add one more worksheet with a query embedded in it through an Analysis grid. However the Query is dynamic as in the space occupied by it in the Workbook would vary depending on the variable selected. So, how can I format the worksheet in such a way that the dynamic space occupied by the query is formatted in a same way. The problem I am facing is that I format the query result in the BEx and save it but when I execute it again with a different variable, then the additional area occupied by the result is not formatted.

Hi Rishi,
do you allready have tried to use Excel stylesheets? Change the ones starting with "SAPBEX" to your corresponding needs. It should work that way.

Issue in Bex Analyzer

Hi ALL,
As we have workbooks with 2-3 queries inserted, facing a problem with overlapping the results from 1st query to below one if we open the nodes in GL Hierarchy. We need to find a solution to dynamically push the below query down with respect to above query result area.
And also, To do this, you need to know the local queryID of each query.How to get local queryID
Please suggest on this .
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
did you think about adding each queery in it's own sheet within the workbook? Or isn't that an option for you, is it?

BEx Analyzer: Formula Variable with Replacement path change Month with Day

Hi experts I'm facing this issue in BEx Analyzer.
I need to have some dates in format DD/MM/YYYY in Index Structure, in order to do this I've created a formula variable with replacement path referenced to 0CALDAY characteristic.
The formula works but it behaves in a strange way:
if the day is higher than 12 the displaied result is correct (DD/MM/YYYY)
if the day is lower or equal 12 the displaied result is wrong (MM/DD/YYYY)
I'm on BW 7.01 SP6 and BEx Analyzer 7.10 SP12, excel 2007.
anybody has faced this issue before?
any help will be appreciated
Daniele Cortopassi

Hi Daniele,
This seems pretty strange. Pls. redo validation with the dump data, as being a flat struture BEx does not apply any logic changes. May be it might have been MM/DD/YYYY format as in workbooks. Else you may change the property of 0calday display as "Text". Business Explorer > Display > KeyMaster Data/Texts > Texts (Plese check this option). If you are using some text table you may maintain the same using BI0/TCALDAY (Similar to BI0/TCALMONTH2). Guess it should be an excel based issue; if not you may try the same in WAD/Report designer to verify the nature of the issue. If you don't face these inconsistencies in WAD/RD then you may change excel formatting options. Lastly, please let us know if the infoobject has some predefined settings in RSA1 > Infoobject > (BEx) Properites.
Thanks,
Arun Bala

Hi Alice,,
This happens some time, when i am unable to drill down by just dragging and dropping the columns. though i could not find out why. Best thing, what i do, i refresh the query and next time it works Ok.. and other th ing what you can do, right click, on the characteristics list on the left pane, go to "change drilldown", then " drill down by" there the user can select the option he is looking in for.
Hope this helps.

BEX Analyzer 3.5 Expired Certificate / Digital Signature

Hey Everyone,
Are any of you experiencing this? Expired Digital Signature issue for BEX Analyzer (sapbex.xla).
We are on SAP GUI 7.10 patch 8, and BEX 3.5 Add-On patch 4. When users
go to launch the BEX Anlayzer or open broadcasted reports, they get an
error saying Digital Signature is Invalid or has Expired.
This is because of the certificate that is provided with SAPBEX.XLA, expired on 3/6/09.
I looked into relavent notes 492364, and 929716 which come with older certificates. We do not want to enable macros completely.
Thanks!
Imran

Hi Imran,
After Opening your Bex analyzer or in Excel
Excel goto -- tools macrosecurity--Security level Tab --choose *Medium* option after setting this open your bex analyzer again you will get a pop up for *enable or disable macros* you can choose disable macros,
now you will be able to open the Bex analyzer and run queries
IF you are not still able to use or if you dont want *enable macro / disable macro* pop up then use
this setting,
Excel goto -- tools macrosecurity--Security level Tab -- choose Low option
you will not get any pop ups and you will get the select query option.
Hope this solve your issue.

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

Authorization issue to execute query via analyzer

Dear,
We are experiencing an authorization issue that we can not solve...
We have grant to user the expected objects to execute query (S_RS_COMP & S_RS_COMP1) and the central objects like S_GUI, S_USER_AGR.
When we test in RESCEADMIN, everything is fine. We can execute the query.
When we test it in the analyzer, the variable screen does not pop-up and we get the error message:
"There is no variable in the workbook, which allows user input"
Does anybody have a direction to help us to orientate our investigation?
Many thanks,
Rodolphe

Hello,
What is the basic settings you have in the Query Properties basic setting tab
Try making it mandatory

IP - Issues with Input Query: Works on Bex analyzer but not on Web

I am doing the following:
Created a Aggregation level for a multi provider which has only real time infoproviders associated with it
Created the query using Bex Query Designer availing all the options for planning
When I execute this query it executes using a web template and does not open up the Key Figure cells for input, I had tried using the Web Application designer with Save button but still the same issue
I tried the same on Bex analyzer and it works fine
Please help to resolve the above issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ram,
Cells should be input enabled on the web just running the query. No need to create a Webtemplate, altough you need to have the webtemplate to be able to use the "save data" function.
Maybe your query is not input ready at all, and you're misinterpreting analyzer layout.
To test this, please enter some plan data in analyzer, right click and choose "save".
Please check if data is written to the real time infoprovider.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Miguel P.
