BEx Analyzer 7.0- Workbook is corrupted

We are having an issue with password protected workbooks that give the message "Workbook is Corrupted" when we try to refresh them on the BI Server. Then we get a message that: "A CRITICAL PROGRAM ERROR HAS OCCURRED".
The workbooks are saved locally (on a user's Desktop, folder, etc). Is there any reason why this would be happening? Please let me know if you need more information? We are on BI 7.0 and are using MS Office 2003.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes it is right.

Password protection doesn't work after Refresh

Well,
We have just migreatd BW 3.x to BW 7.0 and when opening a workbook

Workbooks becoming corrupted using Windows 7, Office 2010, BEx 3.x, GUI 720

Hi Experts.
I have just been upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and from Office 2003 to Office 2010. I have installed SAP GUI 720 patch level 5 and I've patched the BEx 3.x portion as well since we are still on BEx 3.x queries and workbooks.
I can execute queries and workbooks with no problems. When I save a workbook, and then I try to reopen that workbook it's corrupt. Excel doesn't even recognize the file format. When I tell Excel to open it anyway, it's in machine language.
I ran the installation check for the Business Explorer and it found 54 RED errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but still have gotten the 54 RED errors. Any ideas how to fix this?

Dear Adam,
Unfortunately Excel 2010 has a lot of bugs.
The SAP is working on these issues but, it seems the issue lies over a Microsoft DLL.
Per my experience, I recommend you to use Excel 2003 or Excel 2007. They are working fine with BEx Analyzer.
Kind regards,

Open another workbook with a button in Bex Analyzer

Hi,
is it possible to create a button in a workbook in Bex Analyzer which opens another (specific) workbook in a new window?
Or is there another easy way to open a specific workbook in Bex Analyzer.
Best regards.

Hi,
You can configure excel to open each document (e.g. workbook) in a own window, within options (display ->windows on taskbar).
You can also have 2 excel windows logged on to different BW systems (e.g. QA and PRD) bij opening not Bex but Excel for the second session and opening the BW Addin mannuelly via the Extra's -> addin menu...
How to open a specific workbook is beyond my current knowledge..

Error Message while opening workbook or Query in BEx Analyzer

Hi all,
Whenever I try to open any workbook or query using Bex Analyzer I get an error message saying "Serious error occured while reading history folder" Message class RSOBJS, number 170. But this doesnt stop me from opening the workbook or the query.
Kindly help me to suppress or eliminate this message. I am not able to find this message in the list of messages available in RSRT either.
Thanks and Regards
Mui Kanva

Hi Mui Kanva,
Does your problem occur in a copied system?
I have same problem in our Quality-BW (copied from productive system). WE are in our QBW not able to activate personalization correct and get the same error messages. I suggest the reason in the fact, that the source-system Myself (QBW) does not work correct. This reason causes that export data sources could not be activated via RFC-Connection.
Please check to activate your source system?
We accept the error messages in our QBW and did not activate the RFC connection.

Andreas

Urgent:- BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal

Hi,
Can somebody please tell is it possible to create BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal?
If it is possible, how to create the iView?
Please help.

Hi Nikesh,
The question relates much more to analysing queries.
BEx Designer and WAD are for designing queries,output of which can be seen in BEx AnalyserWorkbook. These are used for analysing the data with some test data entered by user.
But if we want them to be seen as a portal iview report we need to use BEx WebApplication Designer iview as we generally user for WAD n BEx.
Use the Version of the BEx Appl as BW or BI and then give propeties like system name,BEx Query,Appl parameters.
We need to see tht these queries in the same compatible format as with portal.
Please note "BExquery" must be the one which generates your reports.
I am not sure whether i could answer you but hope my idea is clear.
Thanks and regards,
Shaila

Workbook in BEx Analyzer doesn´t open

Dear all,
I´ve a problem, because I have a user on the bw and I work with the BEx Analyzer.
When I open a special workbook there comes a white screen and then nothing.
I deleted the user I´ve used and created the user new but still the same problem.
But when I create another user id the problem doesn´t exist.
What can it be?
Or are special user parameters set in the sap bw? because I have not set any parameter

the authorizations are ok.
I´ve made a authorization trace with ST01 and that´s not the problem.
A few weeks before the problem doesn´t exist. But after a few weeks I´ve opened the workbook and it doesn´t open.
Is it possible to delete the user but that all things of the user will be deleted like entrys in tables of the customizing where the user is in?

BEx Analyzer workbook working strangely with reset_area functionality

Hi Experts,
In my BEx Analyzer I have got an input ready query for planning. It displays data correctly. In my workbook I have a button for variables, a button to save the data to planned cube and a button for reset. For the reset button i have used the function reset_area.
Problem - Reset button works clears the analysis grid with data. But once the data is saved reset button will not work. We have to click on the variables button to reset the grid. So again the variables screen will pop up. As a result the end user is confused. Is there a unique behavior for BEx Analyzer. User found that reset button is not working after saving a result.
Is there any workaround for this. Please clarify on the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Jerry

Hello Jerry,
Functionality of reset will work only before Save ,once data is been saved no reset operations can be performed.
After Save only refresh is performed which can fetch you the data been saved .You can educate users that reset can be done only until save the data once data is been saved they can't system can't erase it completely however they can change key figure values.
Can refer to link below:-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/45/9d0fbe42c40063e10000000a11466f/content.htm
Hope it may help.

BEx Analyzer workbook cannot be refreshed

When i create an BEx analyzer workbook using the 'insert analysis grid' option as opposed to the 'open query' option, i cannot refresh the workbook when i reopen it.
The steps i am taking to reproduce this error are
1) Open analyzer
2) Open new excel workbook
3) Insert analysis grid and select query to populate the grid. When i get out of design mode i get my query and can perform all usual drill down options
4) Save workbook (typically i use *.xlsx but i have also tried *.xlsm) as a local workbook or on the server
5) Close workbook
6) Reopen workbook - at this point i cannot refresh the workbook or change variables and i notice there is no data provider in the workbook settings
My system has the following configuration
SAP GUI 7.10 Patch level 16
Excel 2007 (SP2 and SP1, have tried with both)
Windows XP/Windows 7 (have tried with both)
My business explorer analyzer is BI AddOn 7.X, support package 9, patch 1, revision 1507
Any ideas?

I have noticed that this option is not checked also when i create and save a new workbook using the 'Open query' as opposed to the 'insert analysis grid' option. But workbooks created using the 'Open Query' method still work despite this.
Actually if i create a workbook using the 'insert analysis grid' option and then open the workbook properties - even if i do not change anything in the workbook properties, as long as i open and close the properties, then save my workbook (i am saving the workbook as a local file) i will be able to refresh and use the analyzer options on this workbook after i close and re-open the workbook. To clarify the sequence of events i am trying to explain here is [Open excel --> Insert analysis grid --> get out of design mode and select variable to populate query --> open workbook properties --> close workbook properties (without changing any settings) --> save workbook locally --> close workbook --> re-open workbook --> the workbook is connected to server and i can refresh]
But if i just create a workbook via the 'Insert analysis grid' method, then save workbook --> close work book --> reopen workbook. I am not able to reconnect this workbook to server, which mean i cannot refresh, and actually if i check my workbook properties after reopening the file i notice that their is no data provider in the 'Data Providers' TAB, basically my workbook just becomes an excel file and not an analyzer workbook.

BEx Browser35 for GUI720: Workbooks in BEx Analyzer cannot be opened

Hello,
When trying to open Workbooks using BEx Browser35 the Workbooks do net get opened within BEx Analyzer, the "lInks" seem to be inactive.
The test has been conducted using SAPGUI720 with BEx35_Patch1 and Windows7/Office2010_32bit.
Does anyone know if this problem is related to the new SAPGUI-version being used or is this a known error requriring some manual configuration.
Kind regards,

Button in bex analyzer workbook

Hello all
I am trying to customize a button in bex analyzer workbook (BI 7).
I want to insert a planning sequence into the button. As far as i know (and as i did ), if the sequence contain variables, i should see in the static parameters : VAR_NAME_1 and VAR_VALUE_1, and so on.
For some reason i dont have the VAR_VALUE_1 part, and if i try to write it i get error.
What is the reason for this?
Best
Yuval

Once I am adding VAR_VALUE_1 to the static parameters, the system generates two messages error:
Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
System error in program SAPLRRS2 and form GET_SID-1
Best Regards,
Hanit

Problem opening BEx Analyzer Workbook (saved in Excel 2007) in Excel 2003!!

Dear all:
I know there are threads about this issue and numerous support tickets have been provided, but we still can't get any Excel 2007 Query to be opened by Excel 2003.
I have tried to save Excel 2007 BEx Analyzer Query into 97-2003 XLS format. But when we reopened (by both Excel 03 and 07), it prompted the warning messages and broke down the query workbook into several sheets with scrambled data. What am I missing here...? According to the support ticket, it seemed pretty straightforward just by saving the format to 2003 XLS, but in reality it just doesn't work as "advertised"
Thank you...!!!
Brian

I have the solution for this.
It works to my environment.
Follow the steps :
1. you must open the xlsx workbook from Bex Analyzer.
2. Save As workbook locally to your PC for excel 97-2003
(Not "save as" from bex Toolbar but from excel)
3. Now save that workbook with Save As->Workbook from Bex Toolbar into your BI database.
Now go to detail properties of your workbook and there you can see the format xls for your workbook.
Good Luck
