BEx Analyzer 7.0 Issues

Hello everyone,
We recently started using BEx 7.0. I have 3 issues currently with BEx 7.0.
1. When I run the query I keep getting a message that says "System is not set to changeable - objects are not changeable".
RSA1> Transport connection>object changeability>XLWB - is already set to Everything changeable.
2. When I make the changes to the workbook, I cannot do "Save workbook" because it is disabled. Only option availabe is "Save workbook as".
I have checked authorization profile and S_USR_AGR has All Activities.
3. When I try to do use "Copy Sheet" function, the query short dumps with an error "Exception condition "BAD_VALUE_COMBINATION" raised.
Please note we are using Support Package 3 and Revision 1728 on Business Explorer Analyzer.
Also, we have not had any issue with Saving workbook or inserting queries in the workbook in BEx 3.5
Thanks in advance
Lakshmi

Hello Lakshmi,
Thanks for your feedback,
Error "BAD_VALUE_COMBINATION" should not be there with the latest front end patch. Can you please download the
latest frontend patch from service market place. This will resolve your issue.
Please let me know once this is not resolved the latest patch.

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.

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.

Anindya

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.

BEx Analyzer: User ID based performance issue

Hello Ladies and Gents,
The issue:
My BW team just upgraded our system to 2004s and we are experiencing an odd userid based performance issue. If we run a query from the BEx Analyzer with user ID 'A' it takes about 3min for the variable selection screen to appear. If I log into the same machine user ID 'A' was using on my user ID B the query variable selection screen appears within seconds. What could possibly cause this?
What we know so far:
1. Investigated the security roles, seems like that is not the issue.
2. It is PC client independent. Two different user IDs(A and B) on the same machine running the same query in the same way (clicking through the BEx browser) produces different response times for the appearance of the variable selection screen.
Points will be rewarded and help will be greatly appreciated!

User specific personalization is retrieved before displaying the input variables. That might be a possibility, but hard to see it making such a difference. Do you always try the sequence of User A, then User B, or have you confirmed that when you start with User B, it is quick, and tehn slow whne trying User A?
Probably the best approach is to activate Trace and then logon with User A, turn trace off and print or save, then do the same thing for User B and compare. The trace will show you all the various SQL stmts and such that run as part of your trying to launch the query.
Please post back anything you learn.
Some info on Personalization for the Help pages.
Personalization in BEx
Use
This function allows users to fill variables with user-specific values, to save user-specific accesses to BI objects for the history view in the BEx Open dialog box, and to save user-specific start views for Web applications.
Integration
The personalized data is stored in different DataStore objects, according to the personalization area.
· User-specific variable values are stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_VAR.
· Personalized data for the history view is stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_BOD.
· Personalized start views for the Web application are stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_WTE.

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.

Bex Mihration Issue while comparing the results of Bex analyzer

Dear Experts,
Currenlty i am working on a Bex migration project and we are still in the research and analysis phase. We have been migrating some queries and workbooks in sandbox for analysing the final approach we would be following eventually. For migration we first make a copy of the query and then migrate the copy to the 7.0 version. So after migration the formats in the report generated by Bex analyzer 7.0 of the migrated query and the one generated by Bex analyzer 3.x of the orignal query are quite different.
Can you help me figure out the reason behind this difference in the formats and how to go about it.
regards,
Anupam

BEx Analyzer issue

Hello Experts,
I am facing a problem with the query execution in the BEX analyzer.The problem is like this.
When the local user is trying to open a report in BW production system (which is available and seen in his roles) he is directly entering to Excel work book with out getting the selection screen and of course no data is seen in this work book.
But when the local key user is entering into the system with his own user Id he is able to see the report with a selection screen. That is, the query is working in normal mode.
Could you please help me to resolve this ssue.
Regards,

Hi,
What message displays in the Workbook results area when the local user tries to access it?
If a "No applocable data found" message is displayed after no selection screen was made available, you may find that the user made use of variable personalizations, in which case the variable screen will not appear again unless forced by making use of the "Change Query" button and selecting "Change Variable Values"
If a "You are not authorized...." message appears you will need to compare the roles of the local and key users, as this is then an authoriztion problem.
Regards

Hi Tyler,
Please check to make sure that you are on the correct support package.
For Microsoft Office and Vista support, you need to be on SAP NetWeaver support package stack 12, which is equivalent to SAP NetWeaver BI support package 13.
Please see https://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000674496& for the mapping of BI support packages to NW support package stacks.

Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

Hi,
No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options. But I am able to upload only 10,000 material from text file. I never faced same kind of issue when I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x. Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.
Thanks
Sri Krishna Ponnada.

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

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
Edited by: Suraj S Nairon Dec 28, 2009 10:50 AM

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.

How to save BI report into normal excel sheet in Bex Analyzer

Hi Experts,
version of Bex Analyzer:
Bi addon 7.x
support package 7,patch 1
version 7004.4.0.5
excel-2003
when i am trying to save the report into excel in Bex Analyzer as below:
file-save as->Microsoft excel work.
when I open excel I am getting pop up windowu201Dthis file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.Since your running under high security level,these macros will be disabled.u201D
when I click ok I am getting one more pop upwindow as u201Cmacros are diabled because the security level is set to high and a digitally signed trusted certificate is not attached to macros.to run the macros,change the security level to a lower setting(not recommended),or request the macros signed by the author using a certificate issued by a certificate authority.
what are these macros? why i am getting this pop up windows
When i opened the excel report is not looks like general excel report.how can I generate general excel report .I should not want to get excel report as in bex analyzer.I donu2019t want to have author ,status of data,chart,filter,information in excel report.
what settings I have to made to save the report in general excel format.
As i am new to Bi please correct me if i am wrong.
Anything is appreciable.
regards,
naresh.

Macros in general are nothing but piece of code in excel.
To allow unsigned macros to run, the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box must be selected on the Trusted Publishers tab of the Security dialog box. This option is selected by default. If it is not selected (recommended), Excel allows you to run only macros that have trusted digital signatures.
1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.
2. On the Trusted Publishers tab, select the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box.
