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
Arvind

  • Changes not reflecting in Bex Browser

    Hi experts,
    I made changes to standard web template defined in SPRO setting. Now because this standard web template so this change is getting reflected in all web templates.
    But when user is executing these WAD templates through Bex Browser then changes are not getting reflected.
    Could you please advice some solution.
    I checked standard web templates is same for Bex Browser also.
    Quick reply is appreciable and points is also waiting for you.

    please clear the HTTP server cache using SMICM and the changes will become visible. If you are on WAD 7.0 then clear the cache in the JAVA stack also.
    WAD templates are rendered in HTML and they tend to be cached within th app servers - if you make small changes to the same - the changes are not visible until the server cache is clleared.
    SMICM --> goto --> HTTP Server Cache --> Invalidate --> Global

  • How to change color in BEx Browser?

    Hello Friends,
    How to change color in BEx Browser?
    My browser shows all the report description with pink color. I want to change the color.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Bhavin,
    It seems the patches for BW Add-On are being kept pretty much in sync for 6.20 and 6.40 (i.e they seem to be released at around the same time, even that the patch level numbers are different).
    However, at BW Add-on Patch level 4 on a SAPgui640 machine, we didn't have the "pink font" problem.
    It may be that BW 3.5 Add-On patch 6 will have a similar effect for you - it may be worth trying.
    Here is the link to the BW3.50 patch 6... https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~swdc/012002523100000108232005D/bw350_6-10001615.exe?_ACTION=DL_DIRECT
    The patch 6 referred to above is for the BW3.50 Add-On - the SAPgui patch is typically a different number (the 11 that you mention is the SAPgui patch level).
    Best regards,
    Pat M.

  • BEx browser: change decimal separator

    Hi
    How can I change the decimal/thousand separator of BEx browser (show USD 1'000.00 instead of USD 1.000,00)?
    According to another thread in SDN the decimal notation is supposed to depend on the user configuration in the backend (su01). But changes there do not affect the presentation in BEx browser.
    I also tried to change the system (Windows) configuration of the portal server, without any effect.
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind regards
    Christoph

    Hi
    Thanks for your response
    I tried both - without any effect. I also tried all the options in rsa1 -> properties of the key figure.
    Any other suggestions?

  • BEX browser saving in favourites problem

    Hi gurus,
    we are recently migrated to  Bi 7.0. But the users are still using  BW browser. Users are able to save the reports to their favourites.Now in favourites they want to arrange the reports in a convenient manner.when they save the changes and refresh the browser the changes are not reflected.
    how to proceed.

    Rajesh,
    When you saw their changes are not reflected, do you mean that when the users move their favourites objects into a particular layout on the Bex Browser page it doesn't hold this?
    We have this issue also and it's become so frustrating for the users that they have given up using the Browser and they just go straight for the Analyser instead.
    Only one thing I can suggest is to concentrate on creating folders in the left hand panel in the Browser and put files into them as a system rather than creating groupings on the display page as they will end up all over the place as you have found.
    Regards
    Gill

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Modify Browser Layout of Discoverer Plus

    Hi,
    Is there a way to change the browser layout of Discoverer Plus? I want to have an available list of workbooks area on the left hand side of the browser under available items and selected items.
    Regards,
    Gladys

    Hey Gladys.
    I have seen this 'challenge' so many times before and IMO, it's just plain wrong (sorry about the soapbox).
    I can name companies (although would be shot if I did) from small to Fortune biggies where a 'user group' gets together to decide upon a query tool. Of course that group does not include any consulants who are experts in the field, any IT people who really know all the tools under consideration already, etc.
    So, by some magic consisting of "we used it at my last company", to "it looks really good", to "well they gave me a cool t-shirt", they come up with about 3 tools to consider.
    Then ... they invite all 3 companies in to perform a 'dog and pony' show. Of course, they have to load your machine with glowing examples in a schema just for them that shows how their tool can do absolutely everything in the world plus make a decent cappuccino (sp?). Oh ... and here are your free binculars?, pens?, tshirts?, stickers?, etc.
    So, then this 'task group' comes up with - let's say for fun as this is an Oracle forum - Business Objects.
    Without going into all the detail about costs such as BO groups coming in at lofty hourly rates (all the companies do this) and buying new slam-dunk-2007-unix-capuccino servers, you have BO.
    But then ... and again not picking on BO, just an example ... does it do all you want? Does it interface completely with Oracle like the Oracle product did? What about upgrades ... do they write it for Oracle ... or all databases and therefore not cutting edge like Oracle is 'supposed' to be?
    I learned long ago to:
    1. Pick a toolset and stick with it (ie: Word vs WordPerfect). Just pick one and stay with it until Hell freezes over as they just keep leap frogging each other.
    2. Oracle is not cheap (how do you think Larry can afford to build an Asian mansion or drive a fighter jet?)
    3. Sticking with Oracle if at all possible for everything is the safest solution. Sure they may have a tool that pales in comparison at a particular time, but Larry just pulls out his wallet, throws a few billion into the pot, buys up the competition and years later you're Oracle anyway
    4. try not to have 'user task groups' decide on major decisions like BI tools unless they're are computer technical people (ie: greater than 5 years in the business) AND they're not 'last company' whiners (ie: at my last company we used PeopleSoft and boy it was 149 times better than Oracle)
    Okay, climbing off the soap box ... but that felt good.
    To misquote Clinton ... I feel your 'challenge'.

  • 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.
    Regards,

  • Replacement for BEx Browser in BI 7.0

    Hello.
    I'm at a customer that will upgrade their system from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0.
    Nowadays they have a lot of workbooks published in the BEx Browser.
    I understand the BEx Browser is not longer available for use in NW04s - BI 7.0.
    How can I have the same functionality of BEx Browser ( a single point of entry for all my workbooks) in BI 7.0?. is it a mix between KM and the BEx Broadcaster?.
    They needed a "pull tool" and the BEx Broadcaster is a "push tool". doesn't it?
    Kind regards
    Rebeca

    Hi,
    You can also look at implementing bNavigator which has been developed by <a href="http://www.entelsoft.com/">Entelsoft</a>, as a BEx browser replacement.
    bNavigator does not aim to compete with the Enterprise Portal - rather it is complementary with some unique advantages. It has "Powered by Netweaver" certification for installation in the Enterprise Portal or it can run standalone on the SAP Netweaver J2EE Application Server that comes with BI 7.0.
    More information can be found at <a href="http://www.bnavigator.com/">www.bnavigator.com</a>.
    Cheers
    Adrian
    [P.S. I work for Entelsoft, so my apologies if this comes across as a shameless plug :)...Please feel free to take any discussion on bNavigator off-line, by submitting your queries via the [url=http://www.entelsoft.com/]Entelsoft Website[/url]

  • What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

    What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
    Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
    (Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
    My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
    Thanks

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • Report Layout Changed After Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Dear Gurus,
    I do functional test of every process in ECC6 after upgrade from 4.6C. I found all report layout changed without variant (it's happen to all Query/SQ01 reports ). So I've to assign manually the fields for the reports, and create a default variant then.
    Why it happen ? Is there configuration or setting missed or this is standard while we do upgrade ?
    Thx in advance.

  • BEx Browser content in KM

    We have used the BEx Browser extensively over the past 10 years to keep track of all our queries, links and workbooks.
    Now we are taking the first steps towards the use of KM. And we face the problem of accessing all these queries through a KM file.
    We can broadcast a query or publish it to the portal. Easy enough. But we have several thousand and accessing them one by one is.............time consuming.
    So the question is, if it is possible to create a KM portofolio that points to the BI server where the existing BEx Broser structure are, presenting them to the endusers.

    I'm not a BI Consultant, so I don't know the Bex Browser but what I found at SDN is that is is possible to call it via ITS (WebGui)... as the Portal supports Transaction Iviews you could try that...
    Please note that the notes reffering to the use of Bex Browser in the web are very very old:
    - BEx browser in the Web (SAP Note Number: 318352 )
    - Use of the BEx browser in the Web with a logon (SAP Note Number: 535561)
    But I would strongly reccomend you to look at the possibilities that SAP intended to use in combination with Portal and KM otherwise you will get in trouble if SAP stops the support on the Bex Browser...
    For more info and a detailed comparison matrix what is possible look here:
