BEX Analyzer open query very slow

HI,
recently got a question,when i use rsrt open a query it takes 10 secs. but when i use analyzer open the same query(same selections),it takes 50secs . Please could you look and suggest what should be done to improve performance?

Hi,
Please check if you have enabled any unnecessary settings in Excel..eg: add-ins, components etc that might be taking time to run.
You could find this from MS Excel options: Trust center settings or in Developer tab (if u r using MS Excel 2007)
Disable the unwanted add-ins/components and try.

Hi,
Check your support package and patch level of your BEx Suite. BI 7.10 Support Package 6 Patch 1 works fine with Excel 2007.
You might also want to check your installation using the file "sapbexc.xla" on your hard drive. You should find it in C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\Bw or similar, although i'm not quite sure this works with BI 7...

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.
See also https://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000676672& for Microsoft compatibility information.

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.

Opening Bex Analyzer in Webgui using NetWeaver Webdynpro

I have a Netweaver Webdynpro(Java) application which stores Transactions as favorite URLs (eg: SE37, SE38, RRMX..). When user clicks on the favorites link, the application supplies the URL to the transaction by appending the System , host details and the transaction opens up in a webgui.
This works for all transactions except RRMX for Business Explorer Analyzer(Bex Analyzer). For Bex Analyzer, the SAP WebGui opens up, but the Bex Analyzer does not open up. The message displayed is "Please install suitable Excel version."
Does anyone know what is missing?

Ok.. I have to add this. The BEX ANALYZER works in the same scenario for another link defined on Portal. So, the problem is not with the Excel/Office installation.
The only difference is that the link which works correctly on the portal : uses an Transaction Iview whose SAPGUI type WinGui.
Where as the application which we built forms a Url with the transaction code. So, when user clicks on the URL, what happens is the Transaction opens up in the WebGui mode. This is the main difference.
And, we have a whole list of transactions which needs to be opened and it would not be feasible to make seperate transaction iviews for each transaction. Currently, we are thinking of calling this already configured Transaction Iview for only the RRMX transactions. But, we are stuck trying to launch this transaction iview from WebDynpro.
Reason: The window closes after launching the Bexanalyser and we are unable to get the URL of this window before it closes. How do we read this PCD information from WebDynpro to get to launch this Transaction iview for RRMX?

Error with BEx Analyzer to open

Hi,
I am facing with this error message with the BEx Analyzer (Office 2007) when trying to open any query.
" A critical program error occured. The program has to close. Please refer to the trace for further information".
The patch level of GUI is 5(SAP GUI Final Release) and patch level of BEx Analyzer Support Package 0, Revision 461.
I really tried many different options from SAP Notes etc, but did not work. Please let me know if there is anyone faced with this situation or anything that I can do?
Reward points will be assigned.

Hi Kumar,
The critical program error means the frontend installation is not proper.
You need to check the frontend installation as per note 918394 and ensure that all the dlls are green and the frontend patch is latest.You can use GUI 640 with BI 7.0 frontend.
Which front-end version you are using.The frontend patch level is found in the BEx Analyser -> BEx Tool-Bar
-> yellow question mark -> Help -> About => Version <xx> Patch <xx>
Please goto
-> service.sap.com/patches
->entry by application group
->SAP Frontend Components
->SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS
->SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 6.40
->SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 6.40
->Win32
->Apply the latest patch..1600
This should resolve the issue..ensure .net and other prerequisites are installed as per note 877774.

BEx Analyzer delay opening

Hi,
In our company there is a very particular case with the Bex Analyzer and users are beginning to be impatient. We have checked everything, but I would like to confirm if it is to share something of SAP or Microsoft.
We have computers on the same terms of hardware and software, and installation of SAP Business Explorer with patches installed. In some computers it works well and in others, however, when you run the BEx Analyzer, it takes 4 minutes to open the Excel.
The computers have installed:
- Windows XP SP3
- .NET Framework 3.0
- Office 2003 SP3 and patch "office2003-KB907417-FullFile-ENU.exe".
- SAPGui 7.10 and patch "gui710_11-10002995.exe".
- Business Explorer patch "bi710sp08_800-10004472.exe".
Tests:
1. If we open the Excel without using the Analyzer, it works correctly.
2. After 4 minutes of delay in the initiation, Bex Analyzer works correctly.
3. BEX Analyzer have permissions to create dll's in the temporary folder: "c: \ Documents and Settings \ user \ Local Settings \ temp."
4. Uninstallation of Office and SAP, followed by the installation from scratch.
Thank you very much in advance.
I expect an answer.
A greeting.

Hello,
We solved the issue :
When you start Some BEx components there is an internet call to verisign.net servers :
The BexAnalyser and all new Businex Explorer are trying to access internet each time we use them.
The CLR tries to contact CRL.VERISIGN.NET for updating the system list of revoked certificates.
On computers having an IP connectivity but where connecting to CRL.VERISIGN.NET is impossible (firewall or proxy blocking access for example), the launch time could take up to 5 minutes :
t0 : launch Analyzer
t1: triyng to access internet "CRL.VERISIGN.NET" : wait x seconds until timeout
t2 : retry to join CRL.VERISIGN.NET
t3 :retry again
after x tries the Analyser starts.
So you must find the way to tell the CLR not to contact the Verisign revocation
There is an option on Internet Explorer options : (advanced options on the IE Tools menu / Last tab):
Unselect the "update the list of revoked certificates", the restart the Bex, you will be happy
Hope this helps and solve your issue,
Regards,
Karim

Query not Opening using Bex Analyzer

Hi Experts,
We have developed queries in Designer, and we can execute them from query designer.
But if we try to run the query from Bex Analyzer no query output comes.
Output comes as No Data Available.
This issue is happening from past 3 days..before that we were able to execute from Analyzer also.
I am wondering has any setting is changed.
Kindly suggest , as this is very important for us to solve ASAP.
Thanks
Mayank

Hello,
After applying the latest patches for core GUI and BI components, and the MS Office patch (sap Note 1025122), it should work correctly. I have faced the same issue and corrected it by applying these patches. (The MS office that I am using is MSOffice2003.)
Can you try opening the analyzer from the start menu, instead of using transaction RRMX?
If this way it is working correctly, then the softwares pieces are setup correctly.
Then you may want to check the customizations of your BI system. i.e. IF it was upgraded from the BW3.5 system? What strategy are you using for the report migration? The administrator might have changed the settings according to the strategy and current phase of the report migration.

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 ...

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.

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..
