Automatic Bex workbook archiving

Hello,
i'm searching for a solution to export Excel-Workbooks to a Unix server folder automatically. We use a lot of VBA functionality in our workbooks - so we have to use the Bex Brodcaster with a precalculation service. It is impossible for us to activate Bex Broadcasters portal export, because we have no portal components installed. Are there any solutions to create an new Brodcaster destination/channel for this export?
Thank you in advance,
Jens

Hi DPN,
Pause Auto Refresh purely allows you to make a number of Select Filter Value choices on the Free Characteristic block and then when you select Pause Auto Refresh again it makes one retrieval of your multiple selections.
Refresh Query is different altogether. It purely will run the workbook in the form it was last saved when you open the workbook.
Regards
Gill

How to call BEx workbooks from EP?

Hi!
How to call BEx workbooks from EP (in new window)?
P.S. For creation iView for workbooks I use "Role Upload" in Portal (System Administrator -> Transport -> Role Upload). Automatically created iView (for workbooks), unfortunately, do not work (bad argument in RRMXP transaction).

Maxim
The role migration does not do this properly so you will have to do this manually.
Create a transaction iview using transaction RRMX. Then add the following to the Application Parameter field
WBID=XXXXXXXXXXX (the workbook ID).
Then change the AutoStart Parameter to True.
Viola!

How to avoid messages going automatically to the archive folder in Apple Mail?

Dear list members, I've been using Apple Mail (version 7.3 (1878.6)) on my MacBook Pro 13" (9,2) (MacOS 10.9.4) for years to integrate my GMail, university, and other e-mail accounts in the imap mode. Since some weeks, Mail is behaving odd: some messages are sent automatically to the archive folder. That's quite annoying, as I have to move them manually back to the inbox folder, and sometimes I mess some messages. I did not change any config in Apple Mail or my e-mails servers. Could you please help me solve this problem? Thanks.

The Archive folder in Apple Mail is linked to the All Mail "label" in Gmail. A label is treated like an IMAP folder, but it really isn't the same thing.
In case you weren't aware, Gmail saves every email you send or receive inside the All Mail label. In Gmail, you can tag a file with multiple labels. So, a file that comes into Gmail appears in two places at once, the Inbox and All Mail. When you trash a file, the Inbox label is removed, but it still remains in All Mail.
Previously, the All Mail label was hidden from you in Mail. Apple has been trying to make Mail work with Gmail, but that hasn't been going well.
I have never had a problem, but I have both Gmail and Apple Mail set up such that any email I trash actually gets deleted and not stored on the Gmail server. I also have it set to no display the All Mail folder at all. This may not be a fix as others have similar setups, but have problems with Gmail.
This is how I set it up. I followed the original article, not the Part Deux article. However, you don't need to change the IMAP path prefixes or the label names in Gmail settings. I just have the part where I configured it to delete the emails when I trash them, and hid all the Labels I didn't care to see in IMAP.
Remember, this may not resolve your problems. I don't know of another "fix."

BEx workbook Default variant not working with Broadcaster

Hi,
We are broadcasting a BEx workbook, which has more than 1 queries. We have a default variant to populate all the input variables. But while broadcasting, this default variant is not populated sometimes, So the query returns wrong results. It happens randomly. I have checked broadcast logs also nothing unusual found. Can someone throw some light.

BEx workbook does not open from portal when excel is already opened

Hi all,
When I go to the portal and open a BEx workbook from there while excel is already open, then the workbook does not open.
When I close excel and then open the BEx workbook it all works fine.
I do not get any error: just nothing happens.
Any idea how to solve this?
Versions:
BI 3.5
Excel 2003
ADDITIONAL INFO
I found this only happens when excel is open with a cell in edit mode. Whenc I then open BEx from the portal I get the error 'please install suitable version'.
Let my know if you have any advice.

Problem in BEx Workbook Printing

Hi,
I need to print a BEx workbook. The column headers in the report is months, i.e April, May, June... till March. When I print the workbook the column header is getting truncated.
Please advise me what needs to be done to print the entire column text. Please suggest me if there are any settings.
Best Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
Enable the AutoFit property of the design items.
This Autofit option will be available in the Properties of Design Items dialog.
If the Autofit is enabled then the text displayed will be fit within the cell.Hence there wont be any truncation issues.
Before printing adjust the Print Area and check Print Preview

How to create hyperlink in BEx workbook?

All, I have 2 queries in a BEx workbook on 2 different worksheets. Both queries have 0materials in the row. The user wants to be able to click on material XYZ in worksheet 1 and then be directed to the corresponding line (i.e. for that material XYZ) in worksheet 2. Is this possible to do via a hyperlink?
Cheers!

Cheers but a simple hyperlink will not do. I need to link to the same material number in a different worksheet. So in worksheet 1 I have for example the following lines
Mat nr
123
333
444
555
in worksheet 2 I have lines
Mat nr
904
768
123
333
444
555
If I click on 333 in first sheet I want to jump to the line with material 333 in worksheet 2.

Display input variables in BEx workbook header

Hi forum,
I created a global BEx workbook template and would like to display the input variables (user entries) in the header section. On refresh of the workbook, this section should be updated with the new input variables. I am on BEx 7.0 and already experimented with text elements in the Design Mode of BEx Analyzer. However, you can only select general filter values, not specifically variables.
On release BI 3.x the Visual Basic function SAPBEXshowTextElements(selectgroup, ...) was available. You could set selectgroup to "V" (show variables only) and retrieve the variable values.
However on 7.0 this function does not seem to work any longer.
Do you know how this can be achieved in BEx Analyzer 7.0?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
1) Keep variable in default values in Filters.if u keep variable in default values user enterd value will be displayed in workbook filters.
2) Open workbook and go to design mode.
3) Delete the header text item and also delete the header picture bar.
4) Write report name in "A1".
5) At the end of report name (say H1or I1) use this excel formula =Replace(old text,start_num, num_chrs, new_tex).
With this whenever user changes the variable value will be changed in report header.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Ashok

Link to BEx Workbook in STS

Hi,
We have Bex workbooks created as planning applications in IP.
Could anyone suggest how these workbooks can be called from STS? For web applications we can provide the link to planning application directly in the STS customizing but not sure how we can achieve the same for BEx workbooks.
Regards,
Deepti

Hi Guys,
You can broadcast the workbook with <PR_ONLINE_LINK> in the broadcast message get the URL. When you launch the URL later, it will trigger your Bex Analyzer to launch the workbook.
Hope this helps.

Most of the time it's working fine - but some user experience a "Host Unknown" failure ?? - I suspect than it has something to do with contacting Excel, but I can't figure out exactly what goes wrong. The users have all needed componets of course, and they can run Workbooks from SAP GUI without getting this error.
Thanx Ahead.

Issue opening BEx workbooks after 720 upgrade

Hi Gurus,
We use a custom web template to leverage BW [BW-ABAP] security over the Portals [BW-JAVA]. In other words we do not need to create iViews in Portal for each BW Query or BW Workbook.
Earlier we were using 710 GUI with BI 70 Add-on. Now we are upgrading to 720 GUI [patch 5] with BI 70 Add-on [patch 400].
Now when I launch BEx workbook via the Portal, it launches Excel with the BI 70 Add-on [under Excel Add-Ins tab] and then it launches the SAP GUI screen with a success message "No authorization to change role abc. Message no. S#423". The BEx Toolbox connection icon [right besides the yellow question-mark] shows disconnected.
This happens even when I try to launch the BEx Analyzer directly from Portal.
Any help or guidance is heartily appreciated and I promise to award points.
Thanks and regards,
Pratik

Comments in Bex-Workbook IP BW 7.0 ?

Hello Planning experts
It is possible to insert a 'Comment field' in a - let say- Web planning application using the single document web item. However I am not aware of any possibilities to do so in the Bex-Workbook. Therefore following 2x questions:
- Is it possible to insert in BEx-Workbook a Comment field, where the planner could e.g comment the increased budget on a certain cost center?
- Is it possible to report over the entered comments ( let say in a query?)
Thanks and welcome every answer, which helps me to know this comment feature possibilities in IP BW 7.0
Christian

Hi,
As far as I know, this functionality is not available in excel frontend (not cent-percent sure about latest SPs becuase I heard that this was planned for some future SP).
Documents created in queries are saved against a combination value of characteristics - to be able to report on them, you should have the same drilldown of characteristics in the query alongwith which you want to fetch the documents. Also, make sure that the save level of the documents in infoprovider level and not query level (can be set in Web Template properties).

Script for automatic delete of archive logs/redologs

Hi Experts,
Do you have any idea on how to create a shell script. Actually the function of it, is to automatically deletes the archive logs/redologs if reaches the limit. Or is there any parameter to change to set the automatic deletion of archive logs/redologs.
Regards

Hi,
at first, archivelogs should always be saved to tape before you delete them. If you don't want to backup them, may be for a test system, you can suppress them in ORACLE instead to delete them later.
You can run the database in "NOARCHIVE LOG MODE". If you do so, the online redologs are not archived, they are still reused and overwritten. You can not run an online Backup, when the database is in noarchive log mode. If you want to backup the database, you have to run an offline backup.
Do not use the NOARCHIVE LOG MODE for production or developemet systems.
To change the archive log mode:
shutdown the database
startup mount;
alter database noarchivelog;
alter database open;
archive log list will show the actual status
regards Ulrich
