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:-

BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook - Convert to formula function features

Hello,
when using the convert to formula function in a BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook (WB) the result area becomes completely static.
1.) Is there a possibility to add drill downs / across into an already converted to formula WB?
2.) I inserted drop down boxes to allow F4 like selections, however those are pointless if several characteristics are being used i.e. the keyfigure results get blanked out. Is there another way to do this at all?
3.) Could someone provide me with a real live example / whitepaper how the convert to formula function can be used?
Many thanks for any feedback on this.
Regards
Christian

It does become static and all the workbook gets all the excel property.
The key figures are now calulated on the basis of your data provider from the server as a formula in each cell..
I had used to populate my key figure only for the required values of a characteristic.

BEx Analyzer workbook cannot be refreshed

When i create an BEx analyzer workbook using the 'insert analysis grid' option as opposed to the 'open query' option, i cannot refresh the workbook when i reopen it.
The steps i am taking to reproduce this error are
1) Open analyzer
2) Open new excel workbook
3) Insert analysis grid and select query to populate the grid. When i get out of design mode i get my query and can perform all usual drill down options
4) Save workbook (typically i use *.xlsx but i have also tried *.xlsm) as a local workbook or on the server
5) Close workbook
6) Reopen workbook - at this point i cannot refresh the workbook or change variables and i notice there is no data provider in the workbook settings
My system has the following configuration
SAP GUI 7.10 Patch level 16
Excel 2007 (SP2 and SP1, have tried with both)
Windows XP/Windows 7 (have tried with both)
My business explorer analyzer is BI AddOn 7.X, support package 9, patch 1, revision 1507
Any ideas?

I have noticed that this option is not checked also when i create and save a new workbook using the 'Open query' as opposed to the 'insert analysis grid' option. But workbooks created using the 'Open Query' method still work despite this.
Actually if i create a workbook using the 'insert analysis grid' option and then open the workbook properties - even if i do not change anything in the workbook properties, as long as i open and close the properties, then save my workbook (i am saving the workbook as a local file) i will be able to refresh and use the analyzer options on this workbook after i close and re-open the workbook. To clarify the sequence of events i am trying to explain here is [Open excel --> Insert analysis grid --> get out of design mode and select variable to populate query --> open workbook properties --> close workbook properties (without changing any settings) --> save workbook locally --> close workbook --> re-open workbook --> the workbook is connected to server and i can refresh]
But if i just create a workbook via the 'Insert analysis grid' method, then save workbook --> close work book --> reopen workbook. I am not able to reconnect this workbook to server, which mean i cannot refresh, and actually if i check my workbook properties after reopening the file i notice that their is no data provider in the 'Data Providers' TAB, basically my workbook just becomes an excel file and not an analyzer workbook.

Bex Analyzer Workbook Refresh - How to prevent take over of desktop

Hi there,
I believe the answer to this queston will be use bex broadcaster but I will try and see if someone has any other experience.
One of our upper mgmt directors is frustrated because when he refreshes the bex analyzer workbooks, the refresh takes over his desktop.
He will kick off the refresh and then wants to go to another task - Like checking something on AS400 screen - or going to check his email - or working in word.
The refresh of the workbook is long running and has several queries to refresh so it monopolizes his desktop.
He will go to the other screens but bex refresh keeps popping up and taking over.
I do not know any other way to have it run in the background unless bex broadcaster is used. Unfortunately, we are in the process of getting that upgraded and it is not available at this time.
Does anyone have any experience with having the excel refresh run in the background?
Thank you,
Lynda

reporting agent will be helpful in caching the report...this article will explain you on the steps to do so
http://www.tnsr.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/Documenten/PDF/How_To/How_To...Perform_Tuning_with_the_OLAP_Cache.pdf
reporting agent has been replaced by information broadcasting in BI 7.0, you can try this out by going to rsa1old and caching the report.
Hope this helps.

Urgent:- BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal

Hi,
Can somebody please tell is it possible to create BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal?
If it is possible, how to create the iView?
Please help.

Hi Nikesh,
The question relates much more to analysing queries.
BEx Designer and WAD are for designing queries,output of which can be seen in BEx AnalyserWorkbook. These are used for analysing the data with some test data entered by user.
But if we want them to be seen as a portal iview report we need to use BEx WebApplication Designer iview as we generally user for WAD n BEx.
Use the Version of the BEx Appl as BW or BI and then give propeties like system name,BEx Query,Appl parameters.
We need to see tht these queries in the same compatible format as with portal.
Please note "BExquery" must be the one which generates your reports.
I am not sure whether i could answer you but hope my idea is clear.
Thanks and regards,
Shaila

Open a BEx Analyzer Workbook from a Web Application Template

Hello All,
I want to open a BEx Analyzer Workbook from a Web Application Template.
My vision is, that I have got a Button in my Web Application Template and when clicking on
it a Web Analyzer Workbook opens. The Analysis Item in the template and the Grid in the workbook are based on the same DataProvider. So you can open the report in web or in excel, but the people shouldn't open Excel separately when they use the web frontend.
I only found an export function, but this doesn't open a workbook. I couldn´t find a good solution here as well...
Best regards

Poor performance when refreshing BEx Analyzer workbook

We have a BEx Analyzer workbook that consists of about 10 worksheets, each displaying data from a different query. Refreshing the workbook in BEx Analyzer takes a very long time, typically 20 minutes or so. During this refresh process there is very little activity on the BW system itself. Each individual query runs on the web in a few seconds. Aggregates have been built for every query in the workbook.
The workbook's file size has also increased from ~2MB to 15MB as changes are made to the workbook.
Any suggestions on how to improve workbook performance would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jason Kraft

Hi Jason,
On the file size, I recommend a VBA macro which reformats the sheets for you, particularly getting rid of use of colour as much as possible.
The portal performance and the BEx Analyzer performance may be dependent on different servers. It could be that the BEx Analyzer is using the local machines CPU power. Just monitor CPU usage during idle times, opening of BEx and then refresh of the query data to see the demand.
The portal on the other hand could use an entirely different server which has more CPU power and capacity than the platform that Analyzer is being run on.
Incidentally, 20 minutes wait for a workbook with 10 sheets isn't necessarily a huge waiting time if these queries are returning many rows.

Button in bex analyzer workbook

Hello all
I am trying to customize a button in bex analyzer workbook (BI 7).
I want to insert a planning sequence into the button. As far as i know (and as i did ), if the sequence contain variables, i should see in the static parameters : VAR_NAME_1 and VAR_VALUE_1, and so on.
For some reason i dont have the VAR_VALUE_1 part, and if i try to write it i get error.
What is the reason for this?
Best
Yuval

Once I am adding VAR_VALUE_1 to the static parameters, the system generates two messages error:
Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
System error in program SAPLRRS2 and form GET_SID-1

BEx Analyzer workbook

Hello,
I am currently working on creating cost centre reports which should be sent out to cost centre managers on a monthly basis.
For example: The cost centre report for the cost centre named ABC should be sent out to ABCu2019s manager every month.
I created a BEx query and mapped it to a workbook in BEx Analyzer. There are around 300 cost centres and what I did is, created a selection variable for cost centre n the workbook. So the cost centre managers can input their cost centre to see the report.
My concerns are:
a) Since I have put a selection variable for cost centre, anyone can view the report. For instance, cost centre report for cost centre XYZ can be viewed by cost centre manager of ABC. How do we restrict the cost centres to their respective cost centre managers?
For example, Cost centre report for Cost centre XYZ can only be viewed by its respective cost manager. No other cost centre managers should see it. How do we do this in Analyzer workbook?
b) Which is the best way to distribute this report?
We currently use a SharePoint website to share documents. If we upload the workbook to the SharePoint site, my understanding is that the user will have to open the workbook in BEx Analyzer to view the report. The users have to be trained to do it in this case and all of them do not have BEx Analyzer at the moment. So I guess uploading it to the SharePoint site is not a practical idea.
Please reply with your solutions
Thanks in advance

Hello Suriya Gayathri,
Does not seem that you went through the broadcaster bursting functionality.
In short:
* You an create a broadcasting setting of type bursting.
* use a infoobject which consists all 300 users and their mail.
* use a authorisation variable in the query that relates to their respective costcenter.
* execute the 'broadcasting setting', it will send a excelfile attached in the mail to these users.
(Of course you need to set a precalculation server which does all the generation of the excelfile)
Have a look in detail about broadcaster and precalculation server.

Problem opening BEx Analyzer Workbook (saved in Excel 2007) in Excel 2003!!

Dear all:
I know there are threads about this issue and numerous support tickets have been provided, but we still can't get any Excel 2007 Query to be opened by Excel 2003.
I have tried to save Excel 2007 BEx Analyzer Query into 97-2003 XLS format. But when we reopened (by both Excel 03 and 07), it prompted the warning messages and broke down the query workbook into several sheets with scrambled data. What am I missing here...? According to the support ticket, it seemed pretty straightforward just by saving the format to 2003 XLS, but in reality it just doesn't work as "advertised"
Thank you...!!!
Brian

I have the solution for this.
It works to my environment.
Follow the steps :
1. you must open the xlsx workbook from Bex Analyzer.
2. Save As workbook locally to your PC for excel 97-2003
(Not "save as" from bex Toolbar but from excel)
3. Now save that workbook with Save As->Workbook from Bex Toolbar into your BI database.
Now go to detail properties of your workbook and there you can see the format xls for your workbook.
Good Luck

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 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.
