BEx Analyzer is Slow to Load

Please can you tell me what happens when the BEx Analyzer loads for the first time? Excel seems to load quickly but the BEx Analyzer component can take over 30 seconds!
Is there anything that can be done to improve the start up time of BEx Analyzer on Windows XP and Vista PCs?
Thanks.

I also forgot to add that for some of the pages that don't load or load slow. if you actually type the address into the address bar preceeded by "https://" instead of relying on search links or bookmarks it will load.

Problem solved. I instaled MS Visio (MS Office) but last weak I uninstaled it. BEx Analyzer wasn´t working. So I tried to instal MS Visio again. And here we are. BEx Analyzer is working. I uninstaled Visio again and BEx Analyzer is still working.

BEx Analyzer versus BEx Web Analyzer and BIA performance

Hi Experts,
Recently I tested the performance of a few of our queries running off Infocubes with indexes loaded to the BIA and I noticed some differences in performance when using BEx Web Analyzer versus BEx Analyzer in Excel. Seems that when using the Web Analyzer the query returned the result at a much faster rate than when using BEx Analyzer in Excel. I did notice that the slow point in Excel is at the "Formatting Results Areas" stage. This can take up a long time to complete. My question is, does anyone else experience this? What could be the cause? Is this normal behaviour? Any recommendation to solve this?
Thanks very much.

Hi David,
Yes, Excel-based BEx Analyzer is almost always slower then Web (and especially on 3.x tools), and it has not much to BIA.
For web - formatting is happening on the BI server and then result is transferred to end-user machine in one shot (or as many shots as individual MIMEs to transfer). For Excel - first you have a transfer of data set to your PC (that might require several round-trips) and then formatting is all on the PC.
Possible ways to improve:
1) Check that your anti-virus does not impact opening excel workbook
2) Upgrade PC hardware (absolutely seriously)
3) Switch off formatting of workbook or at least remove exceptions and total/subtotal lines.

Problem in BEx analyzer output in BI dev and BI Quality

Hi All
I am facing a problem in BEx analyzer output in BI Dev and BI Quality server where the query is make on BI infoset.
When i am executing the query in BI dev server then it is giving the output result but when i tried to executing the BI query in BI quality server the i got 'No available data found result'.
I have also checked the same selection input result in infoprovider for infoset and output is getting for the same.
Please suggest for regarding solution.
thanks & regards,
Gourav Sekhri

Hi,
check whether you have loaded data in to quality server if no, please load data for all the target involved in info set. If data loaded check all the target 'request for reporting available 'or not.
Also check whether data is showing in infoset or not.. if data availble there change your selection critiria accordingly.
Thanks

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.

Query executes in RSRT but not in BEx Analyzer

Hi Everyone,
I have a query for an infocube and ods object, in the bex analyzer for the infocube the query executes which has around 5000 records but for the ods object which has also 5000 records comes up with this error.
An exception with the type CX_SY_EXPORT_NO_SHARED_MEMORY occurred, but was
neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING
Message no. RS_EXCEPTION000
when I execute the query in RSRT it comes up.
After closing and re logging into bex analyzer executes the query for the first but for the second time again it throws up this error.
What could be the problem? Can anyone please let me know. Its really really urgent.
Thanks,
Prashant.

hi Prashant,
try check in RSRT, after choose your query, click 'properties' and set cache mode to 'main memory cache without swapping'.
also check oss note 656060-OLAP: Cache main memory displacement not functioning.
hope this helps.
Symptom
Although one of the following two cache modes
Main Memory Cache Without Swapping (mode 1)
Main Memory Cache With Swapping (mode 2)
is set for a query, long runtimes occur when you execute the query. The statistics (table RSDDSTAT) display the database times.
If there is a heavy system load, the following message can also appear: RS_EXCEPTION000: No left space in shared memory.
Other terms
Cache, performance, displacement, shared buffer
Reason and Prerequisites
This problem occurs because the shared memory is insufficiently dimensioned.
Solution
Increase the amount of shared memory. The size of the shared memory should be at least 200 MB. You can refer to transaction RSRCACHE for the amount of memory reserved by the main memory cache (RSRCACHE -> Main Memory: Shared Memory/Buffer Reserved).
The corresponding settings are (at least):
rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb = 200000
and, as a precaution, also
rsdb/esm/max_objects = 10000.
Alternatively, for queries with large resulting quantities, you can convert the Cache Mode in transaction RSRT1 to
Cluster/Flat File Cache for Each Application Server (mode 3)
Cluster/Flat File Cache Across Each Application Server (mode 4)

Problem opening a query in BEx Analyzer 7.10

Hello,
we have problems with the BEx Analyzer, an empty screen is
displayed when we open a query.
I'm going to explain the steps:
We open Analyzer, goto open query, logon into BW window appears and then, before the screen to select query from an Infoarea, roles, etc is load, the Analyzer seems to open the SAP Logon and an empty screen from R/3 appears.
We can not close this R/3 empty window, only when we close the Analyzer this windows is closed.
The problem happens with the SAP GUI 6.40, so we updated to
SAP GUI 7.10, installed patches, addons and windows/ office
patches but the problem persists.
How can we solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,

Yes, I have done all the installations that the notes said and the pre-requisites:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 + .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 + Hotfixes and windows update + Microsoft Visual J# .NET Framework 1.1.
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 + .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 + Hotfixes and windows update + Microsoft Visual J# .NET Framework 2.0.
- Microsoft Officce 2003 patches (KB907417, KB945185) + Office 2003 SP3
- bi710sp03_300 and bi710sp04_400
- gui710_6-10002995.exe and kw710_1-10004321.exe
But the problem persist.
I have executed BI Frontend installation check tool (sapbexc710.xla) and seems everything is OK.

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 7.0 - BexEventHandler in Netweaver 2004s

Hi, I noticed that in Bex Analyzer 7.0, there is a new class called BexEventHandler which gets hit each time I select a cell or a worksheet within my VBA code. This did not happen in Analyzer 3.5. And because of this, I am experiencing major performance issue in my macro.
I have a workbook that contains 10 queries (10 worksheets) and a VBA code that merges all the data from the queries into 1 single worksheet. Upon conversion to 7.0, my code is now running extremely slow as it is always going to the BExEventHandler class at each cell.select or sheet.select.
Does anyone know how to bypass this BexEventhandler in Bex Analyser 7.0??
Would appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Thanks,
Sheila

Hi, I found the command in VBA that does disables the Bex event handler code.
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set this to false before your code starts and set it to true again after your code.

Finally delete the request then again load the data..and icon should come automatically...
3. There is R and below one excel sheet fighre...icon
4. Go and make a Report in BEx Analayzer..
Data will fetching Automatically....

BEx Analyzer Report error - microsoft office excel is waiting for another

Hi,
I am running a query from BEx Analyzer, it is throwing the error as " microsoft office excel is waiting for another application to complete an ole action "
Here in variable screen, I am trying to give input for the variables, then it is throwing the above error message.

The error message you are receiving means that an Excel macro is waiting for another macro to finish in order to proceed. It is an informational message so you understand why the system is slower than expected.
The solution is on the Microsoft side, see BOJ Note 1201513.
From the MSDN link below, you will see a description of the Display
Alerts Property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa194195(office.10).aspx
DisplayAlerts Property
wdAlertsNone No alerts or message boxes are displayed. If a macro encounters a message box, the default value is chosen and the macro continues.
The Note suggests changing the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" to "Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone"

Add own VBA Addin (.xla) to BEx Analyzer

Hi,
I created an XLA add-in, which I activated in my Office Excel. When opening Excel my add-in works fine (I can see it in my VB-Editor below BExAnalyzer.xla and it is possiblöe to use the makros.
Unfortunately this add-in is not aktivated when opening BEx Analyzer. In this case the new add-in is not listed below the BExAnalyzer.xla, whereas it is marked to be active at the office options Special / Add-ins (extras / Add-dins in german office version).
Office 2003
BEx Front End Patch 501
Does anybody know, how to implement own xla add-ins to BEx Analyzer?
Best Regards,
Helge

I guess it's because of the way the BExAnalyzer loads Excel - it's an OLE call or something alike. In other words Analyzer loads BEx addin alone. I see two possible workarounds.
One is to find some command line parameter for BExAnalyzer.exe to make it load the addin you want. The problem is I do not know if there are any such parameters.
The other way is to load the addin after the BExAnalyzer.xla is loaded. You can easily check this way by opening your addin manually. However, doing it programmatically becomes a problem since the only piece of VBA code loaded is BExAnalyzer.xla itself. Therefore you have to modify BExAnalyzer.xla to load the stuff you want when it's opened by BExAnalyzer.exe. But it may be (and I'm sure it is) prohibited by the license agreement and by the way you will lose this file's digital signature trying to save the modified BEx addin (don't hesitate to make the backup first).
This is the code to insert to ThisWorkbook module of BExAnalyzer.xla if you dare:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    On Error Resume Next
        Application.Workbooks("YourAddin.xla").Saved = Application.Workbooks("YourAddin.xla").Saved
        ' If YourAddin.xla addin is not loaded (and we get an error in the line above), then open it
        ' and run addin automacros because the event doesn't fire when opening addin this way:
        If Err.Number = 9 Then
            Application.Workbooks.Open(Application.UserLibraryPath & "YourAddin.xla").RunAutoMacros (xlAutoOpen)
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
The YourAddin.xla is supposed to be in standard addin folder (%AppData%\Microsoft\AddIns)
