Bex Browser and roles

Hello All,
We currently use the BEx browser to deploy the queries and workbooks to all the users.
We have set the auth object S_USER_AGR with the value '03 - Display' only.
However, what we are observing that the users are having the capability to move workbooks from their favorites to the roles.
When we run a trace for authorization check, it is checking the above auth object and shows a value being returned for 01 - Create, 02 - Change, 06 - Delete.
Object           Text                                                                               
S_USER_AGR RC=0  ACT_GROUP=NY_BW_WP_QUERY_USER;ACTVT=02;
S_USER_AGR RC=0  ACT_GROUP=NY_BW_WP_QUERY_USER;ACTVT=01;
S_USER_AGR RC=0  ACT_GROUP=NY_BW_WP_QUERY_USER;ACTVT=06;
However, in the above mentioned role, the only value assigned is 03 - Display.
The users have no other roles which would override the values.
We want to ensure that the users DO NOT have the capability to save the work books from their favorites to any roles.
Any ideas?
Sunil

  • Report not running in BEx browser and RSRT in production

    Hi All,
    For one of the report I am getting very different error in production system. I am able to run the query in BEx analyser but when tried to run in Bex browser this gives error and terminates the report. When tried to run through RSRT it gives error and shows that some charcteristics are removed from infocube. This means it is using some very previous version of query. But afterwards the query was changed and transported to production. Still why am I getting this error.
    As if the RSRT is accessing the old query and it is not refreshed the new one. If checked in designer it shows the latest query there. Can anybody suggest what could be the issue here?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Wrushali

    Hi,
    Actually if we make a new query and save as then it works but this query doesnt work. The transport is ok. No error just warning is there.
    I tried the delet old ABAP and generate query but still geting the same error. Can you tel me what this delete old ABAP does.
    When execyted the query it goes to debug mode and some code is executed and if we check the dump is shows RAISE EXCEPTION and error in some SAR...RT19 program.
    Please suggest if any idea.

  • Bex Browser Views

    Hello,
    We're experiencing an issue when user goes into the BEx Browser and saves a View. The problem is that the View is automatically saved to the "InfoArea". There is no option to save to "Favorites".
    Is there a way to prompt the user to choose either "Favorites" or "InfoAreas"? prior to the saving the View? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Jason Chuang

    I am not as concerned about whether it is saved as a workbook or view. If I select Save a New Workbook in BEX Analyzer, it allows you to save in Favorites. When I select save in BEX Web, it does not give me an option and saves it under Roles.
    I just want users to be able to save workbooks, views, etc. to their Favorites folder and not under the public roles.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Wes

  • Arrange workbooks in BEx Browser

    Hi all,
          We are facing a problem arranging the workbooks in BEx Browser. In some folders we have many workbooks and these are just sitting on top of another. I tried to arrange them manually or with the properties option, but even then we still have many workbooks and the Users are having a tough time looking at them. I do not see any scroll bars that will make the window grow according to the number of workbooks.
         Do we have a option to set up the scroll bar in the Browser window so that the workbooks wont overlap or any other option to list the workbooks.
    Thanks,
    Prabhu.

    Hi,
    You can assign workbooks to roles and assign roles to users. After that a person can login to the Bex Browser and based on the roles that he/she has see only those workbooks.
    using tcode PFCG you can create what you want: assign roles to specific users. after saving workbooks under role and a role's menu item a user depending on his/her roles will see only what was allowed.

  • Workbook in Bex Browser

    Hello Gurus,
    When user opens Bex Browser and try to drag the workbook on to the windows desktop it creates a shortcut for the workbook on the desktop.  But when double click on it it doesn’t open up the workbook. 
    But the same thing work fine for the queries.  Does anybody encountered such problem. Pls help.
    thanks
    jose

    Hi Jose,
    The problem is the way a workbook is opened from the bex browser when you click on it.
    When opening the bex workbook, it tries to reuse the existing bex browser sapgui connection to connect to the bw server.
    So even though a shortcut to the workbook is created there should be the bex browser open and connected to the system, so that the bex analyzer starts and tries to establish a connection to the bw server using the same rfc connection.
    In the case of queries that you refer to, i suppose the shortcut just points to the web url of the query, which is then executed in the internet explorer.
    So in your case does the shortcut at least open the bex analyzer ? and can you see that the bex analyzer is connected to the server ? if not then at least you should be prompted to logon i suppose..
    Best Regards,
    Dabre

  • Bex Browser

    If we want to create a new query how do we do it to Bex Browser and do we need to transport it or we make changes in the clients only? Thanks

    Hai we do it in the query designer .check the threads there are blogs on it .generally speaking its better to create in development and then move to production .If your client is ok do directly in prod but not advicable.
    Goodday.

  • What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

    what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

    hi
    Bex Browser
    The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
    Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
    · BW workbooks
    · Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
    · Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
    · Links to internet sites (URLs)
    · SAP transaction calls.
    · Web applications and Web templates
    · Crystal Reports
    Bex Analyser
    The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
    Features
    You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
    Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
    You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
    Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
    ·        BEx toolbar
    You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
    ·        Evaluating Query Data
    The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
    Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
    ·        Queries in Workbooks
    Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
    When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
    You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
    ·        Precalculating workbooks
    You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
    Activities
    To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
    You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
    Hope this will solve your issu

  • BSP URL in BEX Browser role

    Hi,
    I'm putting a link to a BSP URL into a role in the BW BEX Browser, for transport up through our dev and test systems. How do I configure this link so that it resolves the correct address for each system?
    Regards
    Neville

    If you want place BSP applications in the roles you should place them in the role menu.
    It has options for reports, transactions and others.
    Click on others button and choose the BSP application radio button. in the resulting screen enter the BSP application name and start page.

  • BEx and Roles

    I am able to see the roles from the BI Main menu and WAD.  However I cannot see the roles when I open up BEx.  Why is this?  I am working on 3.5.  Thanks

    Just to make sure,In BEx, open-->click 'Roles' (left side of the window).
    To check roles is assigned or not: Go to SU01D-->enter your user id >Dislay>go to 'Roles' tab and see if you have role assigned
    or Execute the transaction  PFCG>enter thetech name of the role>display-->check in tab 'user' for your id.

  • Hide folder in BEx-Browser

    Dear all,
    We still use the BEx Browser 3.x (based on Backend SAP BI 7.0). In folder-structure on the left side we see also folders based on roles which are designed for using in web - and should not used under BEx Browser.
    Does anybody know how to hide these folders in BEx Browser?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    The documentation says that once personalization has been activated it cannot be deactivated again. (personalization being Bex history, variables and web templates).
    You could try unchecking the checkboxes in SPRO, although I don't think it will work...
    Also check this link..

  • Bex Browser layout changes

    Hello Gurus,
    We are using BeX browser [3.x version] as a launching pad for our BW queries. In one of the application area's, we have a main  role and within that 3 sub-roles. The layout of these sub-roles and the reprts under them in the browser are as follows. Role 1 is present in the left hand top corner of the browser. Role 2 is in the right hand top corner while Role 3 is below role 2 in the right hand side. Now Role 2 has got many reports under it and it so happens that the reports in the role 2 overflow and merge with the reports in Role 3 in the browser. The users now find it difficultto launch those reports at the bottom of Role2 & on the top of Role 3 as they appear mergerd together.
    Now we were able to move Role 3 to appear under Role 1 in our development system [the browser in our production system is locked for changes] and were able to save it. But my question is, how do I move this change from Development to Production? I don't find any option to create a transport request in the browser.
    Do I need to save the main role in a transport request, then make the changes in the browser and save it? Will my changes to the browser layout be saved in a TR if I do the above steps?
    Thanks
