  • BEx Analyzer not working in SAP GUI 7.10

    Dear All,
    BEx Analyzer 7.0 is not working on SAP GUI 7.10. Following are the details:
    OS: Windows XP SP2
    Installed the following softwares (in the sequential order):
    1. Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP1
    2. MS Office 2003 (without any service packs)
    3. SAP GUI 7.10 (used SAPAllSetup.exe) to install both BEx Analyzer 3.5 and BEx Analyzer 7.0 alongwith SAP GUI 7.10.
    While BEx Analyzer 3.5 runs fine, 7.0 does not.
    Upon running BEx Analyzer 7.0 from the Programs menu, I see a toolbar on the left hand side on MS Excel in German. Whenever I click on any button, they do not respond.
    When I tried to install update for Office 2003 (KB907417), I received the message stating the patch has already been applied.
    I also applied SAP GUI 7.10 Patch Level 8, but still the problem remains the same.
    Running Tcode RRMX from the SAP GUI opens MS Excel with both the toolbars of 3.5 (on top) and 7.0 (on left). As before, 3.5 works fine, while 7.0 does not.
    Do I need to install Office SP2 or SP3, as well? Or something else? Any solutions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sachin.

    Hi All,
    This problem is due to .NET 2.0 assembly(nothing but .dll's),
    Step1 : Check if you can see this C:\WINNT\assembly\GAC exists
    If it does and still getting the error, then follow these steps,
    1) Uninstall office03
    2) Uninstall GUI
    3) Uninstall .Net 2.0
    4) Reboot
    5) Install .dll(WindowsXP-KB935448-x86-dll.exe) fix(this is due to .net1.1 and 2.0 coexistence)----- only if u get a critical message at startup.
    5a) Reboot
    5b) Install .net1.1
    5c) Reboot
    5d) Install .net2.0
    5e) Reboot
    6) Install office 03
    6a) Reboot
    7) Install .PIA's (O2003PIA.MSI)
    7a) Reboot
    8) Install setupall.exe for GUI
    9) Install KB907---- (office2003-KB907417-FullFile-ENU.exe)
    10) Reboot
    Let me know if you encounter any problems.
    OR....
    Update the Latest Patchs of GUI & Bex.

  • 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:-

    Hi Faisal
    Even I faced the same error while using SAPGUI 710 on Win7 with Excel 2007. You can try to get the latest Patches of the BEx 7.0 Addon and BEx 3.5 addon.
    In case it still doesn't work, I tried this work around and it worked.
    1. Login to the BW System using SAPGUI
    2. Run the transaction RRMX and it will start BEx Analyser and you would be connected to the BW System (So no login reqd)
    Please note that I didn't have problem with Query designer, only BEx Analyser was giving problem.
    Also if you are able to solve the problem, please update the Process you achieved. There is problem in using BEx Analyser with Win7-Excel 2007/2010 for now. Let have a work around at least till the time SAP/MS Fixes this.

  • 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?

  • BEx analyzer not working on GUI 7.10

    Hi,
    We install BI 7.0 now we want to use BEx analyzer , we installed SAP GUI 7.10 on windows XP
    after running BEx analyzer wehn we try to open it's not working and toolbar is in german language.
    Is any problem with GUI?
    regards,
    ajay

    We also had the very same German toolbar issue. We are using both Bex 3.5 and BI 7.0 with SAPgui 7.10
    We traced the German toolbar issue to the following Microsoft Fix. Make sure that Microsoft fix 907417 is on all PCs you are deploying the new GUI on (can be downloaded from Microsoft Help and Support under http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907417/).
    The following are also preqrequisites are for 7.10 but I am guessing you got past this as the bi will not even install if these are not met. Microsoft .Net 2.0 components are required at a minimum with .Net 3.0 also being acceptable.  Make sure that all Microsoft Windows Updates for .Net components are also applied.
    With regards,

  • 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.

  • Working with documents via BEx Analyzer not using the portal

    Hello,
    i read that we are able to create (work) with documents (comments) via
    BEx Analyzer. When i want to add a comment how it is described in the
    help we get connected to the portal. We dont want to use the portal for
    that. Therefore we searched a way to skip the portal. We read that in
    BW Versions before 7.0 the portal was not connected but since 7.0 we
    have the portal connectivity, but it should also possible to not use
    the portal and to access directly the BI Server. I searched for the
    Customizing to do so but i could not find it where to switch to the old
    logic.
    And another question is when we use the Portal with the knowledge base . The documents are stored in the document framework (SKWF). Is it the same as the Datawarehousing Workbench --> documents. This storage we want to use.
    Can anyone give me a hint?
    Kind regards,
    Murat

    Hi Murat,
       We are also facing the same issue of when trying to create/access the documents from BEx analyzer it is connecting portal , we need to bypass portal and directly access the document browser in BW server.
      In your thread you mentioned it is done. So can you please let me know how did you enable the old configuration?. It will be very much helpful to us.
    Awaiting for your reply.
    Thanks,
