Book Publication Macro Error

I have several reports that have Macrou2019s that perform formatting using the After_Expand function. The reports work fine except when publishing the reports with the Book Publication Wizard. It seems the After_Expand function does not run until after the book has been built. I am using BPC 7.0.113
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Chas.

Sorin,
Thanks for the follow up here is some more detail
Can you precise what is not working and when?
When a Report has a macro in it using after expand it runs fine, except when using a book publication, in which case the macro does not run.
Do you have problem during the book publications?
There are no error messages of any kind. The macro just does not run whwn using book publication
The macro is not working into published excel?The macro runs fine, except when generating the report with book publication.
Thanks
Chas.

Book Publication Error

This is in reference to an SAP BPC error that we're getting in the Excel portion of the client. Specific version is SAP BPC Microsoft version 7.5 SP6. In trying to complete the Book Publication the following error pops up:
"ActiveX Component can't create Object." Any help in this area is greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike,
if the issue is still present please read the SAP note 1185283.

Printing Selected Tabs using Book Publication

Hello,
I currently have a book publication that references a workbook that contains 3 tabs (sheet 1, sheet 2, and sheet 3).
I only want to print sheet 2 on quarter end months (which are Apr, Jul, Oct, and Jan for us), on other months I would like to exclude these from the pdf.
I am hoping to avoid manually deleting the page after the pdf is created. I am also hoping to avoid maintaining to versions of the report and book publication.
I have tried using VBA code to hide the tab, this works well when printing directly from excel. However, it appears that the VBA code is not run during the book publication process.
Has anyone else run into an issue similar to this?
Thanks,
Luke

Luke - One way to do this is to make a copy of the report you're using (Save As...) and in the copy, hide all the sheets you don't want to display (hide them manually doing..Format..Sheets...Hide - not with macros ) Set up the BookPub file to reference the copy with the sheets hidden. That's the only way I have been able to print only specific sheets.
I'd also love to hear from anyone who has a better way to do this.

EVSND within Book Publication reports?

We are still on OutlookSoft version 4.2 SP2, although we will be upgrading to v7M this summer.
Has anyone had any success using EVSND functions to return values through Book Publication Wizard? For example, if I wanted a Book Publication book to reference an input template, should I be able to get this to work in theory? I've tried and have been unsuccessful. It appears that the Book Publication Wizard opens the report and does a ReCalc but not a Refresh, which is what the EVSND formulas need to populate the spreadsheet with values.
As a workaround, I've attempted to alter the workbook options to "Expand On Workbook Open", but for some reason this does not work when the Book Pub wizard is running. I've also tried executing a refresh on the Workbook_Open event, but this doesn't work either when Book Pub is running. Does Book Pub suppress custom macros and workbook options? How do I work around this?
Thanks!

Problem solved since we upgraded to v7.

Activation of Planning Book and Macro's during Upgrade

Hello All,
We have copied all the planning books and macros from scm 4 to 7.
When I try to login in my planning book with any selection it says 'An error occured during the generation of the macro program'.
If I check the macro's for the planning in the macro workbench it says 'Macro(s) Was/Were Not Generated, Macro Book Was Not Saved'. Please let me know is there any to activate all the planning books and macros.
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi Siva,
I guess this is related to your other query. As mentioned there take a look at Note 1331066 which is part of SCM 7.0 SP 4.
One easy way to determine the relevant notes by each application area is to check the Support Pack link as below
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/spat/index.htm?sp1=SAPKY70004
You can then open each application area check for relevant notes for your issue. Use 70003, 70002 and 70001 to see the notes bundled in SP3, 2 and 1 respectively for SCM 7.0. The latest SP available for SCM 7.0 is SP5.
Hope this helps.

IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later for iTunes. Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
When I check for iTunes version 10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

I'm having the same problem.
iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
thanks

Is there any substitute for book publication?

We are currently running BPC Microsoft version and considering migrating to the Netweaver platform. I understand the Book Publication Wizard is not available in Netweaver. We use this feature to generate lengthy reports and losing it would make reporting a very difficult process. Does anyone know of a workaround or substitute for Book Publication?

Hi Barb,
You are correct it won't generate PDF's.
Are you considering going to BPC 7.5 NW? If so there are some workarounds that could be leveraged but they are not ideal.
For example if you have Crystal Reports as well, you can use the integration to pull your BPC data into a formatted Crystal Report and use the PDF scheduling to generate your "books" in that way.
Otherwise as Jeff mentioned you would have to leverage the Distributor and Collector and print to pdf via some type of task scheduler job but this would require you have either Adobe Professional or some PDF generator like PDF XChange.
Cheers, Scott

Power book not loading (error: unable to find driver for this platform) help me please

power book not loading (error: unable to find driver for this platform) help

That usually happens when trying to install Mac software intended for Intel-powered Macs (made in 2006 through present) on a PowerPC mac like teh powerbook (made before 2006).
You post is a little cryptic, however. We may be of further help if you can tell us:
<> the PowerBook's processor type (G3 or G4) and the Mac OS version, both available by doing "About the Mac" from your Apple menu.
<> what program and its version your were trying to run and/or install.

EvComment and Book Publication Wizard

Is it possible to include comments (evCom) in the reports generated by the Book Publication Wizard? I am in version 4.2 SP2. Is the answer different for version 5.1?
Best regards,
Greg

Greg,
Yes this should work in version 4.2sp2 (not with previous versions) as well as with version 5.1
The only thing with version 4.2sp2 is that you need to install the evcomment client software on the machines where you want to use the comments. From V5 the comment functionality is fully integrated within BPC.
Below some documentation from evcomment in V4 that tells me exactly what you ask for:
OutlookSoft u2013 New method available with WebExcel v4.2 SP2 (aka build 381). Using this method, OutlookSoft tells EVComment when it needs to refresh. This will allow for comments to be published using book publishing. The Client must have the appropriate supporting WebExcel code (v4.2 SP2 or later) or comments will not automatically be refreshed when the workbook opens, or current view changes.

Epublish - Book Publication Wizard / Manage Book

Dear All,
I have created a report for the publication through Manage Book and that report is also validated. Now I am printing the same with epublish -> Book Publication Wizard. When I am printing the same at that time, That report is getting printed in 3 pages and 3 times. In that 3 pages only two page contain the information and remaining 3rd page is blank.
What setting I need to do for geeting the whole report in the same page and how can I avoid the same report printing for 3 times ?
Please do the needful...
Regards,
SANJAY

You should also use the SUPRESSKEY parameter to select which intersection point should be checked if there is data. In this way, if there is no data for the intersection, for example on DATASRC=INPUT (or whatever dimension members you wish to choose), then the report will not be printed.
Also as pointed out by the others, it is of utmost importance to set the printsettings of the report correctly, as these will automatically used while printing. For example expansions of a report can cause a lot of useless cells entering the printrage which causes a lot of useless paper/pdf pages. As mentioned before, the best way to test this is by using the print to pdf option, as this will only waste diskspace.
To set the printrange correctly in a report whith expansions, make sure the edges of the printrange contain the colkeyrange and the rowkeyrange. If you do this, the printrange will adjust automatically based on the expansion.

Schedule book publication in ASCII files

Hi all,
Is there any way to schedule the extraction of reports to ascii files, using the book publication tool, or any other?
I´m trying to extract some reports using this tool. There is no problem using the "publish now" option, and i´m able to save the .txt files in the right route, but i´ll like to program this action, to be executed automatically in a certain date, every month. Is there any possibility?
Thanks for all,
Alfonso

Hi,
There is an existing functionality inside the Book Publication wizard to schedule a publication, but in fact, you can only generate PDF or HTM files. ASCII generation seems only possible using the "Publish Now" button, and not the "Schedule" button.
By the way, what is the scenario that forces you to generate ASCII files? Would it be possible for you to maybe use the Scheduling area of the Book publication, meaning that you will only have PDF or HTM files generated?
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Book publication wizard

Hi,
I have a problem when publishing a book selecting PDF file and not ticking the PDF unique file box. As a matter of fact, I do not know where the PDF files generated by the book publication go.
Has anybody already faced this problem?
Thank you

Yue,
You have two options for the location of the PDF.
By default, the files are stored on the application server(or file share if multiple application servers). The path is <BPCDATA>\Webfolders\<APPSETNAME>\<APPLICATION>\APPPUBLICATIONS.
<VAR> refers to a setting specific to your installation on the application server.
<BPCDATA> is the root directory for BPC Data. This value can be identified in the SQL by querying the table AppServer.dbo.tblServerInfo. Look for the row with Field = DataPath.
<APPSETNAME> is the name of your AppSet.
<APPLICATION> is the name of your Application, ie FINANCE.
Option two is to select the check box 'Make Single PDF File'. If selected, a secondary window provides the option to define the Filename and location. If you select the 'Local' radio button, it will transfer the pdf to your PC and the directory you specified. If not, the file again will be stored on the application server location specified above.
Hope that helps,
-Danny

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
Hope this helps.
