BEx Query - EMail to Users

Hi all,
I have a requirement that requires a BEx Report result to be sent as an e-mail to Users. We are currently using BW 3.1 version. We tried with Reporting Agent but it works only with exceptions. I would like to know if there is any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi shiva sankaran,
It is not possible in BW 3.1. This facility is avialble from BW 3.5 using BEx Broad cater you can send Work books or query result through email.
Only alerts can be sent to users through Reporting Agent.
Thanks,
sudhakar

Bex query crash for user on sap portal

hi gurus
i have a bex query which users see it through sap portal, i have the case where a user X has made some drill down between rows and columns of the query (over portal), and since then every time this user X open the query, portal shows the query on the rows-columns format that the user X used once.
What can i do in order user X see que query (on portal) in the default rows-columns??
This problem just happen with user X, others users see the query in the default format with no problems.
I ve tried deleting the portal personalization for user X on sap portal, but the problem persists...
suggets?

If its Java only error then there wont be any dump in ST22.
Strange issue for you, in general if we get 500 error, there should be details of it in the same page.
You said this issue is occuring for only one user, is it getting replicated every time?
You are also seeing the same error when u login as that particular user?
Do one thing, assign him the Content Admin role and then do the preview of this iView form content admin and see if ur still seeing this error.

Cannot see BEx Query in user role profile in BEx query designer

I assigned several BEx query objects into user profile menu via t-code PFCG first.
Then expected - when I need and open them in BEx query designer I could find them after clicking "Role" button in "Open" window. But unfortuantely I'm not able to do that.
Do I miss anything to archive that? Is other customizing activity else neccessary?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Hi Brad.Ma,
If you can open query from Area "button", after that, you publish it to roles you want assign.
You try generate Authoriation in Role in Tcode PFCG.
Hope help you to solve the problem.

Unwanted LOVs - Universe on a BEx query on top of a Multiprovider

BO XI 3.1
BW 7.01
OLAP Universe on a BEx query
BEx query on top of a Multiprovider
Multiprovider on 2 DSOs; lets say DSO1 and DSO2
BEx query has a global filter for "INFOPROVIDER = DSO1"
BEx query has a user input variable defined for "Field1" (Field1 is present in both DSOs)
In BEx, F4 on Field1 variable entry gives the values of Field1 from DSO1. (which is what we want)
Expected LOVs for the generated prompt for Field1 in the WEBI report: Values of Field1 from DSO1
Problem:
Actual LOVs returned in WEBI report: Values of Field1 from both DSO1 and DSO2
Has anyone faced this before?
Thank you

That is correct. The BEx properties do not carry over to the BO side. In Webi 3.1 here are the default selections for LOVs (as far as I know)
OLAP universe against BEx query on an infoprovider (Infocube, DSO, Multiprovider) - Only values in Infoprovider
OLAP universe against BEx query on an Infoset - Values in the master data table
My understanding now is
OLAP universe against BEx query on a Multiprovider - Only values in ALL Infoproviders under the Multiprovider

I have seen this note before and according to it you can set an RSADMIN parameter MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME and have more control over the LOVs.
MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME = "A" -> The read mode for all LOVs is Only values in master data
MDX_JOIN_CUBE_DIME = "I" -> The read mode for LOVs is either master data or infoprovider depending on the infoobject settings

Well, that would work but it would defeat the purpose of having a Multiprovider for logical partitioning, wouldn't it?

F4 help on Bex query selection screen

Hi,
On the selection screen of a particular field of Bex query , if the user selects F4 help (input value help), typically it picks up all values in the infoprovider for that field.
Is there any way to retrict those values.
Eg : Cube has values A, B , C for field A .
When the user selects value help on field A of the Bex query written on the cube, the requirement is to show only A and B.
thanks.

Hi,
We do this in our project:
you can use BW Reporting Variable type Auth Exit.
In the Step 0, you define what are allowed for that user. It will then automatically show only auth.zed values.

Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

Hi,
We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem". (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

Hi Vibhav,
We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.
23.08.2011 - 08:20:49 CET - Info for Customer by SAP
I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
on the below link:
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/5586
This ER contains the information of including the customer exit
variables in the report without checking the #input for ready# option.
This ER can be considered for being implemented in the future
versions. You can refer to SAP Note: 1515837 - How To: Enhancement

Bex query over sap portal

hi gurus...
i d like to know if a bex query save some user customization when a user uses it on portal? if yes, how can i delete this customization for a specific user?
regards
joker

Addy,
First you would have to ensure that there is SSO setup between BI and Portal.
You might want to follow these steps.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0a5216a-349c-2a10-9baf-9d4797349f6a
Once, you are done with it. It is a simple process, you will have to create an bex iview and give the query and you are done.
Also, have a look at [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0235c19-9493-2b10-64a5-8487b23a7a41] for creating various types of iviews.
Good Luck!

BEx QUERY - pre filter characteristic values (material group)

hi gurus
i have a bex query where the user is asked to enter a material group value, this query is for planning some kind of material groups, so i need to show in the match code for material group (variable screen) just the material groups related to this query.
For example, material group 0matl_group in rsdmd looks like this:
M1
M2
M3
M4
M5
M6
M100
I just wanna show in variable screen the first five material groups so the user can select one of them, i dont wanna show all the 100 material groups
regards
joker

Hi ,
I am not sure but You can try writing a customer exit code .
create a interval variable of type customer exit .
In the customer exit code write the code :
In I_step = 1
read the material group master data table in your case or the source from which you get the material group .
write a code to read the first five records .
In the low value read the first record.
and in high value read the fifth record .
your user should get only the first five materials to input in this case .

BEX query runs using parameters entered by user in an Excel spreadsheet

I'm trying to write a macro to automate certain functions for our users.

Essentially, the users would enter numbers (relating to clients) in column A and e-mail adresses in column B. A set of reports would run based on the first number entered, then the workbook would be saved and e-mailed to the first address in column B. This would be repeated for the 2nd number/address and so on... All Bex reports are in the same workbook. At this point, I'm having a lot of problems finding code that will fill in the Bex query parameters automatically based on inputs in the spreadsheet. Here is what I've worked up so far for the macro:

Option Explicit

'Macro step 1 u2013 run workbook for client number input and continue
'EXAMPLE u2013 cell A3 = 1008, cell A4 = 1240
'All BW queries should run based on the input given in column A (beginning wth A3).


'Macro step 2 u2013 create directory for the new files and save the first file
' This step will allow the user to save the new files in a new folder in an existing directory, or even to create a new directory:

Function GetFolderPath() As String
 Dim oShell As Object
 Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
 BrowseForFolder(0, "Please select folder", 0, "c:
")
 If Not oShell Is Nothing Then
 GetFolderPath = oShell.Items.Item.Path
 Else
 GetFolderPath = vbNullString
 End If
 Set oShell = Nothing
End Function

Sub Testxl()
 Dim FName As String
 Dim WbName As String
 Dim Search As String
 Dim Prompt As String
 Dim Title As String
 Dim MyDir1 As String
 Dim MyDir2 As String
 Dim Passed As Long
 
On Error GoTo Err:
 
 FName = GetFolderPath
 If FName <> vbNullString Then
 Prompt = "Please Select a FileName"
 Title = "Name"
 Search = InputBox(Prompt, Title)
 If Search = "" Then Exit Sub
 End If
 FName = FName & "\" & Search
 MkDir FName
 ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FName & "\" & Search & ".xls"
 
 'Test for existence of new folders.files
 Passed = 1
 GetAttr (FName)
 Passed = 2
 GetAttr (FName & "\" & Search & ".xls")
 Passed = 3
 GetAttr (ActiveWorkbook.Path & MyDir1)
 Passed = 4
 GetAttr (ActiveWorkbook.Path & MyDir2)

 End
 'Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1").Value = Search **Add if you require the name to be recorded in your spreadsheet
Err:
 Select Case Err
 Case 53: MsgBox "File/Folder not created. Failed at step " & Passed
 Case 75: MsgBox "Folder already exists"
 End Select
End Sub

'Macro step 3 u2013 save workbook
ActiveWorkbook.Save

'Macro step 4 u2013 e-mail workbook
'EXAMPLE u2013 cell B3 = amay@email, cell B4 = bmay@email
'The workbook should e-mail based on the input given in column B (beginning wth B3).
wb.SendMail u201Ccell B3u201D

'Macro step 5 u2013repeat until no inputs remain
'EXAMPLE u2013 cell A3 = 1008, cell A4 = 1240
'Steps 1-4 should repeat for cell A4, then A5 (if necessary) and so on until no more inputs remain. 


If anyone has any advice I'd love to try it out.

Thank you for your time.
Andy

BI 7 Bex Query - User exit variables after variable screen re-processed

User exit variables are not re-calculated after the variable screen is called up to re-run report with a new selection. Is there some way to force the user exit variables to change? I am aware of note 1064273 but this doesn't seem to help in these circumstances.
Example:
My Bex Query uses OI_FYPER for a static characteristic selection and I have defined a customer exit formula variable which uses the values in OI_FYPER.
All works fine when the query is run first time but if the user calls up the variable screen to change the selection and re-run the query, the customer exit formula variable is not re-calculated (customer exit is called but only with ISTEP = 3).
Software version is NS2004S (BI 7.0) SPS10, BI ABAP SP11, BI JAVA SP10, BI Front End Package 1401 rel 354.

hi.. i just came to know about this in another thread..
I_STEP 3 does not have I_VNAM stored. So, to access values at I_STEP3 :
data: l_range TYPE RRS0_S_VAR_RANGE.
if I_STEP = '3'.
read table I_T_VAR_RANGE into L_RANGE with key VNAM = 'OI_FYPER'
if SY-SUBRC = 0.
...code as required...
endif.
endif.

BEX query: filter is not displayed in one of the users

Hi,
We created a BEX Query with a Month/Year filter.
When I run the query with my user, it's working ok (photo 2).
When I run it with another user, the filter is not dislayed (photo 1).
I've checked the role with PFCG, bit i don't know what it's misssing. The infoarea, infocube and name of the query are included in the PFCG, as well as the activities: execute, visualize, etc. (Photo 3).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!!
Florencia

Hi,
Just compare assigned roles for My user and other user.
Then you may know the missed authorizations.
As my guess your issue will authorization related one.
Thanks

When using BW Bex query analyzer users cannot change reporting queries ....

Issue: When using BW Bex query analyzer users cannot change reporting queries. Any attempt to change queries results in errors.
Error: BEx Query Designer: Run-time error '-2147221499 (80040005) Fatal Error - Terminating
Impact: Business reporting is currently being negatively impacted because users cannot modify queries, cannot change filters for fiscal period and fiscal year.
OS / MS Office Suite being used: Vista & Office 2007
Backend System: BW 2.0B
Frontend System: Being a large organization, we have a controlled environment wherein all users will have the following applications installed by default:
1. SAP Client Base 7.10
2. SAP BW 3.5 Patch 4
3. SAP BI 7.10 Patch 900
4. SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 12
Does anyone has any idea as to why we are getting this error? Is it a Vista issue? Is it a front-end issue?

Just a thought - did you guys apply any Microsoft security patches before this started happening - we had a similar issue in other SAP application due to MS security update. Raise an OSS with SAP

No of users accessing a bex query

HI Bw guys,
we want know no of users accessing our Bex query.Is there any procedure to find out that.Please give the solution for us because we are hurry about this.
Thanks and regards
Sreenivas.

Hi Srinivas,
If your BI Admin Cockpit is Working Fine and getting loaded to 0TCT_MC01 this cube, then goto RSRT and Run this Query
0TCT_MC01/ZQUERY_FRONT_END_OLAP
The Count shows the number of hit for those queries for that month.
Similarly there are queries for day wise also.

I need to know the user who has created/modified a SAP Bex Query and WAD

Hi!
I need to know the user who has created and modified a SAP Bex Query and SAP Web Application Designer. Does it possible to know this information by a table or view?
Best Regards
Ramon Sanchez

Hi,
In BEx query, when you click "Queries" to open the query, the list of queries are displayed. Highlight the query, click on the "Properties On/Off' icon(right most on the top), you would see all the details.
In WAD, before opening the template, click on "Properties On/Off'" icon to see the details.
