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!

Identify Bex Analyzer version

Hello experts,
If someone is using Bex Analyzer to execute a query, how do you know which version the Bex Analyzer is?
Some users use version 7.00 and others use version 3.x. We want to track those who are using Bex Analyzer 3.x.
Please help,
Chuong

Bex analyzer connection problem

hello
i have a problem when i want to connect from excel with the bex add-on to the application server. i geht the following error:

the connection should be established over the internet.
external computer -> internet -> gateway -> sap application server
the gateway is configured to foreward the ports 3201,3301,3401 and 3601 to the sap server.
when i open excel by using the transaction rrmx then the connection is established correct and i can work without any problems. also sapgui works correct over the internet.
maybe someone can help me.
thanks in advance

Joachim,
Did a search for your error on the internet-
or error WSAECONNREFUSED (10061)
   1The remote host actively refused the attempt to connect to it.
   2.Verify that the destination server name or IP address is correct
   3.Verify that the connection port number is correct (under Site Settings | Type tab).
   4.The remote server may be temporarily or permanently inaccessible (try again later).
   5.Verify that you have chosen the right protocol (SSH2, SSL, FTP, etc.) and have setup all required options for that protocol.
   6.Verify that the destination IP address and port numbers are correct.
   7.The remote server may be refusing multiple connections from the same client. Try using only one connection thread when connecting to this particular server (Site Settings | Options).
   8.Try pinging the address.
   9.If you are using a router, verify the router is up and running (check by pinging it and then ping an address outside of the router).
10.Do a traceroute to the destination to verify all routers along the connection path are operational.
11. Verify that your subnet mask is setup properly.
Looks like a winsock error - check if there is any service to declare on the hosts / services files
Are you using a router string in your GUI ? This may not be the issue - but possible issue could be that the SAP server is treating this as an RFC connection which is not coming through trusted channels.
What is your Frontend SP level - upgrade to the latest available and usually when you start BEx without any BI login also on the same client - there is a dummy window opened by BEx for the SAP GUI to achieve this...
Some pointers - but not sure what could be happening...

BEx Analyzer issue

Hello Experts,
I am facing a problem with the query execution in the BEX analyzer.The problem is like this.
When the local user is trying to open a report in BW production system (which is available and seen in his roles) he is directly entering to Excel work book with out getting the selection screen and of course no data is seen in this work book.
But when the local key user is entering into the system with his own user Id he is able to see the report with a selection screen. That is, the query is working in normal mode.
Could you please help me to resolve this ssue.
Regards,

Hi,
What message displays in the Workbook results area when the local user tries to access it?
If a "No applocable data found" message is displayed after no selection screen was made available, you may find that the user made use of variable personalizations, in which case the variable screen will not appear again unless forced by making use of the "Change Query" button and selecting "Change Variable Values"
If a "You are not authorized...." message appears you will need to compare the roles of the local and key users, as this is then an authoriztion problem.
Regards
PS. Hi Chandu...

BEx Analyzer comments in ABAP Runtime?!

Hallo, we are using BEx 7.3 in ABAP Runtime (only ABAP Stack). In BEx Analyzer we want to use comments functionality to upload a Word or Excel Document for comments, but the Document Browser we are getting is of BEx 3.x which doen't provide the Button to uplaod the Word/Excel Documents. According to SAP in ABAP Runtime there is no way to upload Word/Excel Documents through BEx Analyzer comments functionality. Ist there any work arround?? Can any body hepl on this issue?
Many thanks in advance,
Regards
Mansoor

Hallo Anass,
thanks for your reply but the Link to SAP-Library shows the document about the Documents Browser in Portal, JAVA Runtime. But we don't have JAVA / Portal environment, we have only ABAP Stack.
The T-Code does not help, cause the BEx Analyzer version we are using is BEx 7.3. It is only the Document Browser which is of 3.x version, because according to SAP Helpline the BEx Analyzer in ABAP Runtime works only with 3.x Document Browser.
Does anybody know a work around to upload the Word documents?
Any how many thanks.

Track Bx Analyzer version

Hi,
We have BI 7.0 and our users are using Bex Analyzer version 3.x and version 7.0 we want to track which users are using version 3.x.
Is there a program or a way how we track these users. There a zprogram for tarcking sapgui version but is there an equivalent program for tracking the Bex Analyzer version?
Thanks for your help.

Hi ,
you can use the technical content. Both analyzer versions have different Statisitc events. Thats the way you can separate them.

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?
SAPGUI version 7.03 patch 7
BIAddon (Anlyzer) patche 6
Thanks in advance.

Corrected with the notes:
1935435 BExAnalyzer: Filter with range does not work correctly
1921770 BExAnalyzer: Filter works incorrectly

Thanks

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)???

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

Problem when trying to start BEx Analyzer (7.0)

Hello - We have completed an upgrade of a sandbox to NetWeaver BI 7.0 (from BW 3.5) and we are getting ready to have users start to test to find functionality issues. When I start Business Explorer (7.0), it opens Excel (2003) with no problem and the menu appears and the icons appear to be active. However, when I mouse over any of the menu items, the text is in German, and if I click on any of them nothing happens. I have run the sapbexc710.xla spreadsheet and it comes up with some yellows (version on PC is higher than expected), but no reds.
Is there a known solution to this? This is the first time we have tried to run the 7.0 version of BEx Analyzer, but we have been using the 3.5 version for a couple of years.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Blair Towe

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.

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

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 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.
