BEx Analyzer Problems. Advice on Patches

Hi.
We are having some probles with BEx Analyzer.
For instance.
1. Run the query in BEx Analyzer and it displays different results in RSRT than in BEx Analyzer.
2. Dates sometimes have the day and month the wrong way around from what is stored in the cube field.
3. Changes made to CKF are not changed when the query is saved.
It appears there are other numerous BEx problems and I need some advice for the best solution to deal with these and other similar problems which will occur.
BW Version: SAP Netweaver 7.0 Release 700 Level 0013 Highest Support: SAPKW0013
Query Designer: BI Add on 7.X (Based on 7.10) Support Package 3, Revision 519
Analyzer: BI Add on 7.X (Based on 7.10) Support Package 3, Revision 949
Please could somebody explain the best way forward and also explain the procedure and disruption caused by upgrading support packages/notes/support package stacks.
I have looked at some sap notes and it appears there is a version 17 support package available and also quite a lot of notes on BEx problems.
The BEx Aanlyzer version above.. Is this an old version?
Best,
Steve

your frontend is indeed "old"... we're on Support Package 8, Patch 1, Revision 1443
try upgrading the front end first... it might solve a lot of your issues already
also, the date problem... are you sure that's a BI error and not a "local" setting on some user's pc's (difference between US and European time zones for instance)???

  • I am facing Problem with my Bi Bex Analyzer 7.10 .

    Hi All,
    I am facing Problem with my Bi Bex Analyzer 7.10 .
    I have Windows 7 with Office 2007 insatlled on my Machine and  SAP GUI 7.10  with  patch 11.
    When i Open the Bex Analyzer and click on OPEN Query, it shows me the German Laguage istead of English ( Open Query )
    and the Open query  Icon is not responding
    Hence my Bex Analayzer is not working .
    Is there any MS Office 2007 Patch that i have to istalled on the The Machine .
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nilesh,
    To see the text in English,you have to login to backend with Language as "EN" in the Logon Screen.
    To make the icons work in Analysis and Design Toolbar,you can install in KB from Microsoft.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907417/
    Close Analyzer,install this KB and then Launch Analyzer.
    This will solve your issue.

  • 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

  • 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 Filter 0CALDAY problem

    Hello,
    We having a problem in our BEX Analyzer, when we are filtering the characteristic 0CALDAY with a interval range based in the last days of a month (Example from 21.03.2014 to 25.03.2014), the Analyzer shows the messsage error "For characteristic 0CALDAY, enter value in a permitted format". But if we put the range 01.03.2014 to 20.03.2014, the Query executes without problem.
    The same occurs with other months either.
    Examples:
    Report:
    Filter range 01.03.2014 to 20.03.2014:
    Filter range 21.03.2014 to 25.03.2014 (PROBLEM):
    The same filter, but in single values format:
    Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

  • Problem with bex analyzer v7

    Hello,
    I have installed SAP GUI 7.10 and everything is working fine, but the bex analyzer. The problem is that I can see the Toolbox but when Im clicking on the icons of the toolbox it does not work at all, it does not execute anything, so i can not open or edit queries and so on. I have tried to install the last patches (bw 11 and 12), but I can not, I got a message  that the patches already exist.
    I would like to know what should I install for making it works..hopefully someone could help because I have tried almost everything and I dont know what is the problem.
    Thanks in advanced,
    Luis

    Hi,
    I do not mean it, i do not need to launch the correct version of the analyzer from the bw system via rrmx transaction. My problem is that wehn i launch the analyzer via windows like this:
    start -> Business explorer -> Analyzer
    I can not use the functionalities of the analyzer, they are inactive. The point is: Is it something related with the SAP GUI installion? Have something to do with excel? Or with the windows service pack??
    I have installed in my computer the following:
    - SAP GUI 7.10
    -Windows service pack 2
    - Microsoft office 2003.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Luis

  • BEx Analyzer 7.0 Problem

    Hi All,
    I am using BEx Analyzer 7.0 in a new laptop assigned to me by my customer. It has windows xp and office 2003.
    My SAP GUI is 710 version with patch level 11 and BI Add-on 800.
    The problem what i face is, after opening Analyzer, when i am clicking on the open button, nothing is happening. No open window is coming. And none of the other buttons are working...
    Also, when i hover the mousepointer over the analyzer toolbar buttons, the button name that displays is in German language.
    Anybody has any clues about this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    BIJESH

    Hi Bijesh,
    Try this
    Open a normal excel sheet --> Tools --> Macro --> Security
    Select the low security level over there.  Because of high security excel can not run macros.
    Try this and let me know.

  • 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.

  • Problem of hierarchy in bex analyzer

    Dear all,
    I met a problem when I using Bex analyzer to run a query, there is a characteristic 0CS_PLEVEL (posting level) with a hierarchy. If the characteristic is displayed in the row or column, i can filter with the hierarchy node, everything seems to be fine. But if the 0CS_PLEVEL is set to be a free characteristic in the query, when I filter with hierarchy text node (not leaves), then there will be wrong message about 'No applicable data found', but if I add drill down according to Posting Level in rows, it indeed has data value.
    And I tried filtering value with same hierarchy node with other query which is built based on Multiprovider, everything is fine.
    I wonder if there is any speciall setting for filtering by hierarchy node in the query based on virtualprovider 0BCS_VC11?
    Your reply will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    In the Exception definition,Make sure you have selected following :
    In Display tab    ->    Select Exception affects data cells
    in cell restrictions tab  -> Exception affects everything
    After that,once you execute the query,Exceptions should be shown on all levels.

  • Problems with dynamic data slices and BEx Analyzer

    Hello experts,
    we use a data slice to lock released data.
    This data slice contains an exit-variable which selects all plan that are already released out of a ABAP dictionary table.
    The user can release data via planning function. He can start this function with a button in a BEx workbook.
    He use the same workbook for insert planning data.
    the problem is:
    when a user releases data, the value of the exit variable in our data slice changes but the data slice 9999 seems to be NOT generated with the new value. the reuslt is, that the user can still change released data.
    the data slice is just new generated after logout and login again not after refresh the query.
    Is there a possibility to force the system to generate data slice 9999 with the actual value of the exit variable? maybe a function module or method?
    We have this problem just in BEx Analyzer. In Web Reporting everything works fine and the data is locked by the data slice after refresh.
    Thank you
    Johannes

    Hallo Johannes,
    if you want to have this kind of behaviour you need to go for a data slice of type exit. You will find some information about this in the Planning forum.
    The data slice is instantiated once, but when you release the data you need to call a method in your exit data slice which rereads the values. This is a rough idea how this could be done.

  • BEx Analyzer displays wrong number of decimal places after implementing BW patch

    Hey folks,
    we patched our BW 7.31 from PL10 to PL15 last weekend and now we got some issue with the number of decimal places shown in BEx Analyzer 7.x.
    One example for KF X
    Settings Info Object X
    Decimal Places:                         Not defined
    RSRT - Display X
    Shows 3 decimal places
    Query Designer Settings using KF X
    Number of Descimal Places:     0  [Use Default Settings: NO]
    BEx Analyzer Properties for KF X
    Decimal Places:                         0
    Resulting in BEx Analyzer workbook shows 3 decimal places instead of 0!
    Anyone with an good idea about that?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    Have you used the list calulation like "Calculate Result As Average" or "Calculate Single Values as normalization of result" in the relevant key figures?
    For "Calculate Single Values as normalization of result",iIt is the known design that it is always displayed with three decimal places for normalized values, and the setting in Query Designer for
    decimal place doesn't take effect.
    For "Calculate Result As Average", the following note maybe relevant.
    2096911 - Decimal places in query result is wrong, if average is used and display precision is set to less than 3, it will always show 3 decimal places.
    Another clue is to check if the key figure is a Quantity type with unit, and what's defined in table
    T006 field ANDEC for this unit.
    Hope this helpful.
    Regards,
    Ceciclia

  • BEx Analyzer version problem

    Hi all,
    We are having a problem with RRMX and the BEx Analyzer version that it's launching.
    We are running BW 3.5, and all our workstations have both BEx Analyzer 3.5 and BEx Analyzer 7.0 installed. SAPGui version is 6.40 SP26, BEx Analyzer 3.5 has SP12 installed.
    Naturally, we want RRMX to launch v3.5 but it keeps launching v7.0. Is there an easy way to configure RRMX to launch the legacy version?
    Steps I have tried:
    1) Transaction RSZVERSION. This only sets the minimun version of the BEx Analyzer, which does not help us.
    2) Registry key LAUNCH_VERSION=LEGACY, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SAP/BEx/Analyzer. This had no effect.
    3) Modifying BExAddin.xml. This one I found out myself, but it's tricky to distribute. The xml-file has a tag called <LaunchLegacyVersion>, when this is set to False, the correct BEx Analyzer version (3.5) is launched from RRMX. As a default, this is set to true.
    Now the tricky part is, that BExAddin.xml seems to be a user-specific file which resides under the current users IsolatedStorage folder (%SystemDrive%\Documents And Settings\%UserName%\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage). Under the IsolatedStorage folder, there is a 3 folder deep directory structure, and these directories have names that are randomly generated for each user. This means that I can't possibly know what the BExAddin.xml's path is for every user. Making things worse, the whole IsolatedStorage folder doesn't exist, until a user has started RRMX once.
    So the question is: is there a place that I could distribute the modified BExAddin.xml so that the settings would be made global for each user, or is there another way to do this?
    Best regards,
    Juha Kinnunen

    Hi Leo,
    Yes I tried the personalization but it seems doesn't work, I don't know why.
    I set the personalization in the BEx analyzer according to the help documentation step by step but the variable selection screen still pop up when the workbook is opened.
    If I executed  the query which contained in the workbook seperately there is no variable selection screen pop up.
    And because I don't wanna change the variable, so I didn't uncheck the ready to input.
    Thanks for your infomation!
