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.

Cannot open query in Excel (BEX analyzer)

Hello Experts,
Issue: Cannot open the BEX report in Excel but can open the same report on IE.
1) I am trying to open a BEX report "ReportA" in Excel (BeX Analyzer).
2) As soon as the report opens it shows me a message "Do you want to open the 3.X workbook for upgrade"
3) I click on "OK"
4) then i get a message window listing a lot of warnings liike " Access to project denied" "creation of items failed"
5) i click on "OK"
6) Now, variable entry screen appears
7) i enter values and click on "OK" the report does not show any data.
Now, the same report "reportA" when i open it in Internet Explorer, it displays data. What can be reason for this problem in BEX analyzer ?
Please comment.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Hi Suraj,
If you want to execue your query, you can use the bex analyzer.
If you are opening the query from query designer 3.x query in 7.0 fronend, it will get upgraded and then cannot be reveted.
In your case this automatic migration might be havng some issues, owing to complexities.
Please recheck.

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.

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.

Error when launching BEx analyzer from Portals

BI Gurus...
We are working on an initiative to migrate our user interface from SAP GUI to Enterprise Portal.
Bex Analyzer is primary mode of reporting at this time.
After importing the Roles into EP, I am able to execute the web queries successfully, in the BEx Wen analyzer. But, I get an error when I click on any of the excel workbooks. Our expectation was that once we click on the excel workbook name, the BEx analyzer will launch from EP. But it seems like the issue is with launching BEx Analyzer from BI Portal.
Has anyone faced this issue before?
Is it possible to launch BEx Analyzer from EP?
Are their some key portal settings we have missed out on to enable launching BEx analyzer from EP?
Please provide your thoughts/experience.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi WernerS,
Thanks for your response.
The RRMXP Transaction works and it launching the BEx Analyzer as expected.
Now, as per our research, I think there are 2 ways of launching BEx analyzer from BI Portals.
1) Call via a URL
You can call BEx Analyzer via the following URL: http(s)://<server:port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/rsr_bex_launch/bexanalyzerportalwrapper.htm
You can modify the URL to open BEx Analyzer with either a workbook, a query or a query view. You can use the following parameters to do this:
●      Parameter to open the workbook: ?WBID=<wb_id>
I have tried calling via URL iView, but instead of launching the BEx Analyzer, it just throws a dialog box to "save" or "open" a file, RRMX.bex. When I try to open this file, it says "Invalid File Format".
I tried opening the file in notepad and I see the following parameters passed.
           test
           Data=BX2,CONAJP,EN,mikoyan,17,,,250,
           9
Any clue about what I am doing wrong?
2) Calling via a Transaction
You can generate BEx Analyzer in Portal Content Studio as an SAP Transaction iView.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.app integrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction Code (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
●      The Transaction Code for all workbooks is RRMXP.
●      The ApplicationParameter property contains the value WBID=<WORKBOOK_ID>.
I have tried this approach as well. When I open this iView, I see the RRMXP transaction in the Internet explorer, but the workbooks still does not open in the BEx Analyzer (Excel)
Any thoughts on where am I going wrong ?
Thanks,
Ajay.

CKF not showing correct results in BEx Analyzer

Dear Friends,
I am getting different results when viewed from BEx Analyzer and Web Analyzer for the same query. BEx Analyzer shows incorrect results. The column that is showing different is a local formula (say Formula3) that is a result of dividing Formula1 by Formula2.
BEx Web calculates Formula3 correctly while BEx analyzer does not.
I am in BI 7.0 SP 10.
Any Clues?
Thanks
Viren

For this calculated column set aggregation level as sum.

Bex broadcaster in bex analyzer

Dear all,
I have created a report in bex analyzer. I want to add this report to portal, therefore i need to select bex broadcasting from excel bex analyzer menu.
My questions are as follows:
1) As i read in document, i can put analyzer reports in portal. Is it correct?
2) In excel bex analyzer menu, my bex broadcaster menu item is in display mode. Why can it be like this?
Thanks

You can directly add the BEx query to the portal. While creating iview there is an option for BEx query also. Just select your query there and you can access this query through portal. For that Broadcaster option present in BEx analyzer I m still searching how to use it.

BEx Analyzer - Start BEx when Excel starts

Hi,
Our company uses MS 2010. We recently installed BEx Analyzer to several employee's PCs. On ONE out of 5 PCs, the user must re-check the box under Global Settings for "Start BEx Analyzer when Excel starts" every time she starts her PC each day. It stays checked until she shuts down the PC. What could be wrong? What should I look at?
Thanks,
Debbie

so at the end of day when she shuts off and log in again analyzer doesnt open in excel again.?
there is way to do that in excel to open a program .. may be they can help.
only thing i can think of that she deletes her cookies when she logs off so excel cant save it properly.

Start Excel 2007 without BEx Analyzer 7.0

Hi there,
I use Excel 2007 and if I start "Excel 2007" the Analyzer 7.0 starts automatically. Does anyone know how I can start Excel without the Analyzer? It seems that it's no AddIn (*.xla like Analyzer 3.5) but an *.exe.
Thanks for any help,
NIcole

Hi,
Go to BEx analyzer -> Global settings and there untick 'Start BEx Analyzer When MS Excel Starts'. That should stop it.

Wrong Currency shown in Bex Analyzer / SFr. Symbole in Excel

Hi Experts,
Hi have a question regarding the display of currency in Bex Analyzer.
I have a report showing Euro in the most of columns and one column should shown usd. The conversion is done in the backend.
By running the report the column which should show USD show SFr. (Not a currency).
In Excel i checked in format cell--currency. There SFr. is define as Symbole. It is a general problem. How to solve it?
Thanks
Gilo

Hi Andrey,
thank you for replying.
Have you added IO currency to rows ?
-- Other Columns with Euro are showing the correct currency.
Does your conversion work correct ?
-- Yes
If you execute the report in bex query designer (via web) do you get correct results ? i can not execute via web.
I execute in rsrt and the column is showing the result with $. I expected to see USD.
1. why is bex showing the wrong currency?
2. why is the result under rsrt with $ instead of USD?
Thanks
gilo
