BEx Analyzer 3.x after 2004S Upgrade - Variable Screen

The variable screen has changed when using BEx Analyzer 3.x after upgrading to 2004S. Is there an option to go back to the original version? We are doing a "technical upgrade only" this weekend to our production system and did not want to impact our users in any way at this time. There was a thread that started out asking about this issue but then switched to discussions about the Query Designer and the variable screen question was never answered.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, I can access RRMX. However our users cannot. They log on through Citrix directly to BEx Analyzer 3.x. When I use transaction RRMX, it takes me to BEx Analyzer 2004S.
Is there any way for our users to access the old variable screen using BEx Analyzer 3.x? And if not, is there any documentation anywhere on the new variable screen that is being used for 3.x after technically upgrading to 2004S?
Thank you -
Ann

BEX Analyzer not working after SAPGUI730 update

Good day
I really require your expert assistance with the following:
The client has just upgraded to SAPLogon 7.30 file version 7300.3.1084 patch level 8, but they did not consider the application level and MO versions on any of the laptops.
A few laptops are configured with Windows 8, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and Excel for 32 bit.
Setups were run for "gui730_0-10010496: and "gui730_8-10010496".
Everything works, except for BEx Analyzer that does not want to open at all.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance
Cj

Hi,
The support for Microsoft Office 2013 is available only after BI-addon for SAP
GUI 7.30 FEP300.
See 1652769 - 730 GUI DVD - BEx tools - HW\SW requirements
Have you satisfied this criteria?

Michael

Imac not responding after mavericks upgrade- black screen

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks 2-3 weeks ago ....if I leave my mac for a while and then try to wake it up with a touch of mouse or keyboard, the screen remains black. The mac is still on as its warm .The only way to recover this is to :
1. Pull out the plug - gives fresh reboot
2. Keep the start button pressed for approx 5-10 secs, then press it again and the mac powers up...to the state it was when left ie not a fresh reboot.
This is very annoying , has my wife yelling at me and no longer gives us the instant access from sleep we used to have ...
Any help appreciated !
Thanks Jon.
I have a 27" iMac from August 2010 (ie v soon after CPU upgrade) , core i3 processor

OK I appear to have fixed this ...after the Mavericks upgrade the screensaver was reset to loading photo's from "national geographic" which it did after a few mins...i have changed this to another option photo's of earch/space etc..now i can wake the imac from sleep immediately as before ....so now fixed !

Max number of entries in the variable input list (F4) of Bex Analyzer Query

Dear BW experts,
When I run the Bex Analyzer query, it pops up the variable input screen.
If I don't know the specific value of the variable, then I can click on the input help (F4) to get a list of available values. There is a max number of entries coming back to the list. For my BW system, it is currently returning 500 values. For other people and SAP Help document, it could be 1000.
My question is: Do you know where we can configure/set this max value? Is it a global setting?
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
Kevin-

Murali & Pra,
Thanks for both of your answers. I think the answers that you provided are for BW 7.X version.
It is flexible and exactly the way it should be for each user to customize a specific variable.
I am running BW 3.5 query, and don't see the "Settings" option/button after I got the list of single values back.
Is there a way to set this up for BW 3.5 query Analyzer? My max value is always 500 for all variables. Is there a place for setting this value and save for the next time.
Any help from any BW experts is appreciated.

Problem-taking a long time to open Bex Analyzer

We upgraded from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0 SP9, Front End SP 9, Patch 3, Revision 370 and have a problem when we try to access Bex Analyzer. The response time is very poor. It can take as long as 3 minutes (or longer) for Bex Analyzer to open after we click on the Bex Analyzer option. When we were on BI 7.0, Front End SP 7, the response time was better but since upgrading to FEP 9, the time to open Bex Analyzer from our PCs is very long. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how was it resolved? Thanks

You might want to trouble shoot with web log from BINW2004s forum topper and Front end Champ Prakash ...

BEx Analyzer Varibale screen cancellation results in inactive buttons

Hi All,
In my workbook when I cancel the variable screen pop up it results in an inactive workbook. That is, after the cancellation the buttons will not work. We cannot do any operation in it. We can only work in the workbook once we enter the design mode and exit from it.
SAP note 413448 says to upgrade patch. But it is for BW system and BW FEP version 2.0. We are on BI 7.0.
Is there any other alternative for this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Jerry

Hm, Is it so. Could be some program error? As in Note 1424498 - BEx Web 7.0: Issues after Cancel in Variable Screen http://goo.gl/Dd8fw. Other option is to personalize the variables.You can check this post for more details. http://goo.gl/g4OQZ. Alternatively have you tried the following :-
1. In General Tab --> Refresh WB on Open (enable)
2. In Variables Tab --> Process Variables on Refresh (disable)

Variable screen issue in BEX !!

Hi Gurus,
Problem Description - When any query is opened through u2018Web BEx Analyzeru2019->u2019New Analysisu2019 button in portal , variable screen is shown and report is getting executed. Again, if we open same query from u2018Web BEx Analyzeru2019->u2019New Analysisu2019 (Donu2019t close the session use same session), Variable screen will NOT be shown at Second time. Directly, Query will be executed with previous Variable values & result will be shown.
I have modified following parameters but it did not take any effect to the variable screen problem.
VARIABLE_SCREEN, MELT_VARIABLES, VARIABLES_CLEAR, USE_PERSONALIZATION
100% points are assigned
kindly do the needy

Paul,
I have experienced similar issues with the behaviour of variable selection screens e.g. variable screen appears in the Bex Excel version but not the web version. One of our consultants has suggested that the behaviour depends on whether the variables are optional or mandatory, something I've yet to confirm.

Variable Screen Does Not Display in Bex Web Analyzer after first time

We recently upgraded from BW 3.1 to BW 7.0 (without upgrading specifically to 3.5). We are having a problem with our Web Bex Analyzer not showing the variable screen although the variable screen is displayed successfully when running the same query from the Bex Analyzer. Based on feedback from other posts regarding similar topics, we modified the 0analysis_pattern template to ensure that Display Variable Screen was checked on. We are finding that when we open the Web Bex Analyzer and do a New Analysis, the first query we try to run will always have the variable screen displayed successfully. Any susbsequent queries we try to run by clicking on New Analysis in that same open window will not show the variable screen and will start executing open ended. This is occurring regardless of whether the query has mandatory or optional variables and we have confirmed that there is no personalization set for the variables being used. We have tried it with several different queries and the results are consistent. The first query you run shows the variable screen successfully and any queries run after that do not. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated as we have exhausted our resources researching and troubleshooting this problem.

We did open an OSS note and heard back from SAP. We made the recommended setting, see their response below, but as they stated, it will only show variable screens for queries that have at least one mandatory variable entry after the first query is opened.
Response from SAP:
Please check if the following setting is made within your template --
In the 'Standard Actions' of the Web Template, do you have the setting
'Action Before First Display' set to OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG
The behaviour of the variable screen is different if you use mandatory
variables and optional variables. If you have only optional variables,
the Display Variable does not force the variable screen.
Also, using the parameter VARIABLE_SCREEN=X only influences the
web application at STARTUP. This would not come into affect when you
use the 'New Analysis' button. This button resets the dataprovider so
this would not affect the variable screen and would not redisplay the
variable screen as you require.

BEx Analyzer 7.1 Issue after upgrade to MS Office 2007

Message when opening BEx Analyzer after an upgrade to 3.5

When I open BEx Analyzer after an upgrade to 3.5, I get a message:
Internal Error when generating the history. Use a different view
Is this because it is the first time I am logging onto BEx after the upgrade or is this an issue? Thanks

Niten,
As A.H.P suggested what version of BW did you upgrade from ? and what version of SAPGUI are you using - try and reinstall SAPGUI or install SAPGUI6.40 final.
Also please give your front end support pack levels. This could also be due to a front end SP issue.
Some other things that could help would be :
Were there any problems / issues when upgrading ?

NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen Vs 3.X Bex Analyzer

Hi,
In 3.X, if you select refresh for a workbook having multiple queries, then the function refreshes all queries and the system displays the variable screen for each query in the workbook.
In NW 2004s, if i have the same workbook and refreshing the workbook will display only one variable screen having all the variables all the queries are using.
This is good. Except for refreshing workbook which is already having different "material number" in different queries.
In this scenario how do we refresh the workbook and keep the material number different for the queries the workbook is using. The variable screen in NW 2004s will show only one variable "material number" and assigning a material number will change the workbook
(Implies both the queries will be using same material number after refresh-hence unable to keep the workbook same)
We are on SPS 8/FEP 801.
We applied the note 953402 (variables are displayed when you refresh all queries)
After applying the note we added ANALYZER-VARIABLE_REFRESH_3X=X in the RSADMIN table.
Still in NW 2004s, only one VARIABLE SCREEN is displayed will all the variables the query is using.
Please let me know if any information is available.
Thankyou,
-Sini

Hi,
We applied to OSS NOTE # 953402 inorder to prompt the varaible like 3.X. This note did not do anything. Please advice if any other note is available or not.
Having a common or (one) variable screen is difficult to maintain. I had lot of problem trying to keep a workbook same as in 3.X. Diificult to perform workbook conversion.
Example:
I am performing workbook conversion. This workbook which I am trying to convert has multi queries.
In one query it shows material number starting with say for eg: BA, CB and no restriction is given for cal year/month and this query has plan version as mandatory variable. (NOTE: no hierarchy)
Other query has hierarchy for material number and the hierarchy shows material starting with BA01* and cal/year restricted to 01/2006 and 02/2006.
When I convert the workbook from 3.X to 2004s
1.) hierarchy drilldown icon disappears when I open the workbook in NW 2004s Analyzer
2.) Inorder to get the drilldown icon back I clicked on "refresh" which doesn't not work consistenly.
So I always click on "variable" icon and entered the values for the mandatory variable (plan version) and assigned hierarchy (XYZ).
3.) After executing it, both of my query shows hierarchy.
4.) I turned off hierarchy in one of query, set filter value for material number to BA, CB.....( NOTE: Inorder to turn off the hierarchy I have to first deactivate it and then refresh it to make it work.
NOTE: later I was unable to turn it ON.
5.) The other query has hierarchy orginally(before conversion) it has 3 level drilldown and after converting it just has only one level drilldown. ( I was not able to get the original one back. I was able to filter it my material number say BA01* and cal year.
RESULT: Unable to make the workbook indentical to 3.X. Conversion was not that succesfull.
NOTE:
1. The hierarchy activation/deactivation does not work properly.
2. For eg: Select filter value for material number, the text/key shows the expected value. But If I search for those values I do not get the result. The search on material with hierarchy does not seems to work properly.
Please let me know if you need any further details and also let me know if there any OSS Note available.
Thankyou,
-Sini

NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen problem

Our BW system was upgraded from 3.1 to NW 2004s (SPS 8/FEP 9).
When we refresh the query in the workbook that has multiple queries, then the variable screen displays the variables from all queries.
For example: Query 1 has Posting Period single value variable, Query 2 - Posting Periods interval variable. When Query 1 is refreshed, the Variable input screen will display both variables - Posting Period single value variable and Posting Periods interval variable.
Please let me know if you need any further details and if there are any OSS notes available.
Thank you,
Elena.

Hello Prakash
In BW 3.5 we had, if we have a Workbook with more than one Query, while refresh, if our cursor used to be outside the Query area, then it used to ask "Do you want to refresh all Queries on Workbook", if we say, it used to refresh all the Queries, by Promting Variable Screen multiple times.
"Melt" kind of function in this case should help.
But do we have method to refresh one query of the sheet only and not rest of them. I am afraid you may say no. But thought to recheck at least once more.

Bex analyzer variable screen input ready?

Hi Experts,
If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0 netweaver 2004s), it seems only possible for us to enter variables in the dialog screen after the pushbuttons Ctrl + K for each variable. Is it possible to change the default setting in the BEx analyser variable screen, so that the variables are ready for input (without the ctrl + k)?
In the SAPhelp information, only the following information is provided.
Prerequisites
In the BEx Analyzer, you have executed a query that contains variables and you want to change or personalize one or all of the variables in the query.
Procedure
1.      In the analysis toolbar, choose Change Variable Values or in the menu, choose BEx Analyzer ® Change Variable Values.
The Select Values for Variables dialog box appears. Follow the instructions to select a value to assign to the variable.
2.      Specify a variant name and values for the variables for which you want to change the current values.
Switch to display mode or use the pushbuttons Ctrl + K to enter values.
Kind regards
Dennis

Hello All,
We have a similar issue only in 2004s query designer when we execute a query via the web. We have the variable set up to accept multiple single values and we can pick multiple single values and add them, however, we cannot paste a list of, for example, personnel numbers from an excel spreadsheet into the web selection box to add multiple single values at one time. Does this functionality exist?

BEx Analyzer Query Selection Variable Screen Issue

We are in the process of applying support packs to our system--BI7.01 and we are going from SP04 to SP10. After the application of support packs, when we execute a query (or a workbook with attached query), the query variable screen that normally appears does not, the query just executes without being able to filter/enter selection criteria.
We are using BEx Analyzer 3.5--long story about not upgrading to BEx 7.x. In our systems without support packs, the queries/workbook execute as expected. I've tried making a variable mandatory in one of the queries as a test and the selection screen then appears; however, we have hundreds of queries.
I've searched SDN and OSS and have found some similar issues, but not a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Norris

Hello Michael,
Thanks for the informationit's funny as I think I was stumbling upon this notegoing support pack by support pack--when you posted it.
We applied to our development system and we are now getting the selection screens, so it does appear to resolve the situation. Thanks again for the information.
