BPC for Excel selection screens trouble

Hi, all!
In our BPC network there are some client machines which have strange trouble in BPC for Excel. When we try login to Excel, Run DM package and select members from CV and run others menu where exists selection screen we see black rectangle where should be text. (Examples:durin login to Excel - at Selection of Connection options (Use default port or Use secured port); during Run DM package - Selection of when to run package(Run now, Schedule or Run now & Schedule); at screen of Member selector of dimension - Data view (Hierachy or Table)). Client machine - Win XP SP3, Excel 2003 SP3. We try reinstall BPC for Excel, Excel, try different client BPC for Excel - 5.1 and 7.0 and it didn't help
Thanks, for help.
Best regards,
Iaroslav

Hello,
  A similar problem was reported a while ago in an older version of the product.  Our development team after analyzing the issue notified the probelm was caused by the color scheme selected on the client
machine because our dialog boxes use that color scheme.
Please set your color scheme to default and see if that fixes the problem.

Mihaela

  • Waiting error with BPC for Excel on Citrix

    Good day,
    We are currently running SAP BPC 5.1 SP 7 (release 5.0.508.03)
    On Production and Staging , users running BPC client on our Citrix environment are experiencing a "WAITING" message when submitting on input schedules on BPC Excel after working or leaving the input schedule idle for more than +/- 10 minutes.
    We currently only experience the problem on BPC clients running on Citrix. The BPC clients running via the LAN is not experiencing this problem and we cannot replicate the problem on the LAN
    We asked our Network team to investigate they found that there was a network reset connection (RST, ACK) from the BPC Client on Citrix to the Application Server after 1 minute and 5 seconds of refreshing the input schedule.             
    Steps for Reconstruction          
    1.User running BPC for excel client on our Citrix environment.
    2.logs onto BPC for Excel.
    3.Opens and refresh's an input schedule in BPC for Excel.
    4.Works on or leaves the input schedule idle for 10-15 minutes.
    5.Submits on the input schedule after 10-15 minutes
    6.Receives a "WAITING" message in the top left hand corner for the excel for BPC screen.
    7."WAITING" message runs indefinitely.
    Notes:
    1.We can reproduce this on our Citrix Staging environment and currently experience this problem on our Citrix Staging and Production environment. The problem cannot be reproduced when a BPC client connects  via the LAN for Staging and Production.
    2.Citrix session remains active and connected during the above steps.
    3.The only way the "WAITING" message is stopped is if the users selects refresh or submit on the input schedule after a few minutes, the refresh then runs successfully, but the Submit does not go through successfully.
    4. We have asked or Citrix team to investigate and they cannot find anything that could be causing the problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Peter Bellis

    ok.
    In this case it seems you have a problem with antivirus or forewall into Citrix server which is blocking the communication with application server.
    I expect to be more like antivirus which is blocking actually the activity of add ins from excel whoich measn the BPC client.
    So actually your problem has nothing to do with Cittrix is just a pure problem with installation of client into that machine (in your case citrix server).
    So I suggest to disable any antivirus or firewall into that citrix server for test purpose and afte that you have to make sure that you don't have any restrictions on port 80 if this is used by BPC.

  • How to lookup application set status in BPC for Excel

    Hello,
    we have created some packages diabling the appset status when running.
    These packages update dimension data and/or fact data.
    Other users will receive an error when sending data to the application when the
    packages are running.
    Ist there a change to lookup the appset status in BPC for excel?
    May be continuously with a macro or just before sending data?
    I didn't find a bpc function for this task.
    Help appreciated. Thanks
    Jochen Kowalski

    Hi Jochen,
    I don't believe there is any way to do this with built-in BPC functionality.
    Assuming you're on BPC for Microsoft, in the appset's DB, you can query as follows:
    select [value]
    from tblDefaults
    where [type] = 'system' and keyid = 'availableflag'
    -- value of 1 = available
    -- value of 0 = not available
    I know this works for system availability when it's controlled on / off, manually from the admin consol. I believe it also works when the system is taken offline by a data manager package, but you'd need to check if you plan to implement this.

  • BPC for excel

    We using BPC 5.1 SP1 and SQL Server 2000, excel 2003
    We got one user gettinge the following error message "Object Variable or With block varable not set" and "Information missmatch between App info and Analysis server. Use the login screen to try to reconnecting to the Web server"  when trying to log
    in to BPC for Excel.
    BPC for Word is working fine.
    We have tried to reinstall BPC and Excel but the problem remains.

    Do you receive the messages when you log into a specific application? Or with all applications?
    The latter message seems to indicate that Analysis Services and the database are out of sync. Process each of the the applications through the Admin Console.

  • Error executing BPC for Excel

    Hi BPC Friends
    Until Yesterday I have executed without problem BPC Administration and BPC for excel.
    Yesterday I have execute the package to load the data for a dimension (masterdata).
    Now using my account I can open BPC Administration but If I try to execute BPC for excel, when I select an application the system give me this message:
    object variable or with block variable not set
    but if I execute the BPC for excel with another account It works.
    Could you please help me?
    thanks
    regards
    Michele Medaglia

    thanks.
    I have done the process but it doesn't work.
    You said me:
    if you imported a secure dimension then you have to process the security to have the right profiles for each user and member access profile.  "
    How Can I do this activity?
    Why with another account I don't have this problem?
    thanks

  • F4 Help for the selection screen field

    Hi Gurus,
    I have to display F4 help for a selection screen field. i am using following code:
        CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
             EXPORTING
                  retfield        = 'CODE'
                  dynpprog        = lw_repid
                  dynpnr          = sy-dynnr
                  VALUE_ORG       = 'S'
             TABLES
                  value_tab       = gi_text
                 field_tab       = li_fields_tab
                  return_tab      = pi_return_tab
             EXCEPTIONS
                  parameter_error = 1
                  no_values_found = 2
                  OTHERS          = 3.
    My internal table gi_emp has two fields CODE & TEXT. When i select 1 particular value, it returns the CODE value in the pi_return_tab table.
    But my requirement is i have to capture the corresponding TEXT value for the Returned CODE. Ex: following is the F4 help being displayed: -
    001    test
    001    test1
    but is i select code 001(First Value), i also need to capture it's corresponding Text value. In return table pi_return_tab i have only Code value.
    Please help me out.
    Note: Based on return code i can't search into the internal table gi_code, because as shown in the example, code has multiple text.

    Sachin,
    I think this is what you need. The following code will return the key and the text (OR any other columns), if both columns are in the selection screen the selected values (both columns) will also be passed to the corresponding parameters. If you only need the text to be in the return table and not passed to the selection screen then set the parameter for text with NO-DISPLAY option.

  • BPC for Excel Input Schedules

    Hi
    With Input Schedules in BPC for Excel, is there an easy way to see which cells get uploaded ?, for example, if I open a report written by another person, how can I easily see which cells get upload when MNU_ESUBMIT_REFRESH runs ?.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind Regards
    Gavin

    HI,
       There is no specific way (something like a menu command). You can define a specific colors or format for the cells(or some formulas which change the format of the cell), but this is related to the input schedule design.
    Best regards,

  • BPC for excel Add-in Conflict

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find out if there any known excel add-ins that conflict with BPC for Excel (v7) and how the conflicts manifest themselves.
    I am currently specifically interested in conflicts with SAP BW BEx Analyser but would be interested in any others also.
    Would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.
    Many thanks

    Usually, Crashing means excel will show crashing error message and restart it.
    Excel will just return excel error message. NOT BPC or 3rd Party ADD_IN error message because it happened at the EXCEL while it is processing request from BPC addin and other 3rd partty Addin. (Of course BEX is SAP product. that's why BPC NW support BEX report in 7.5 but still it is not fully integrated with MS.)
    Sometimes it happens when retriving data from BPC or sending data. As you know those are critical functionality of BPC.
    Again, it depends on the addin but based on my experience, Hyperion Addin and BEX addin had a problem when it runs together with BPC addin.  some simple addin might not have any issue but still recommendation is not using 3rd party addin because we don't know where the error comes.
    Thank you.

  • BPC for Excel crushes on startup

    Hi, experts.
    After installation of BPC for office client component - i'm trying to launch bpc for excel, but it crushes. When i.m pressing hyperlink "BPC for Excel" from http://<myserv>/osoft - Excel starts, window "Installing components COM" (or smnth like this, about COM installation) appears and after that Excel gives a message that its "not responding" and will be closed. Other office components of BPC client works (at least starts normally).
    Version of Excel is 2007 SP2.

  • How to display PropertyuFF1Au300CPARENTHu300D on BPC for Excel

    Hi.
    Can the dimension property：PARENTH
    Is it possible to show the dimension property：PARENTH on BPC for Excel ?
    I try to use 「EvPRO」.but it didn't work.
    Are there special function for property：PARENTH ?
    Takuo

    You could try an excel formula in the extra column, but I believe that after processing the formula is removed (never tried this myself).
    And a method might be to arrange things directly in SQL using triggers or custom ssis packages. But to be honest, is this really worth it, how many changes do you make in a parenth structure. A simple manual for the administrator here might be enough.
    My advice is always, KISS (keep it simple and stupid)

  • Problem Launching BPC for Excel in Terminal Services/Citrix Environment

    Hello.
    We are having an issue launching BPC in our terminal services/citrix environment. This is not the main way that users will be accessing BPC, but we plan to have it available for off-hours/off-site use.
    Here are details on our environment.
    1) BPC version: 5.0.502 (5.1, SP3, patch 4)
    2) Env: 1 web/app server, 1 database server
    3) SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, SP2
    4) Problem occurs sporadically for any user.
    In some instances, launching BPC for Excel does not bring up the connection wizard, instead, an error message displays saying "Object Variable is not set". We then logoff, delete the terminal services profile, and logon again, forcing the creation of a new terminal services profile, and BPC for Excel will launch the connection wizard as expected. So it seems that the terminal services profile sometimes gets corrupted. Does someone know which Windows registry key would cause this situation so we can determine the root problem? Deleting the profile is not a practical permanent solution. This is only an issue in terminal services/citrix, no other environment.
    I opened this with support, but they said it's my problem. I'd appreciate any ideas to solve this. Thanks, Nancy

    Hello,
    I have exactly the same problem too (Citrix / BPC 7.0M SP6 Client).
    Do you have a solution regarding this issue ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to create members and properties in BPC for Excel...

    Hello,
    Is it possible to maintain and create members and properties from an input schedule of BPC for Excel?
    We want to give access to the end users to maintain one dimension (invoices) from an input schedule of BPC for Excel,  in order that they will create new invoices and give properties for them... (But not accesing using BPC for Administration Console) they must access using an Excel input schedule.
    Thanks,
    Jorge

    BPC is a Business Warehouse tool rather than an Accounting system. In other words, BPC is designed to do data analysis and planning, not creating sales documents, etc.
    You should use an ERP system or at least, an Access database or Excel to create your Invoice documents. Then you load to BPC for data analysis or for planning/budgeting.
    It is critical to understand the values and functions of BPC before implementing into your Business Processes, otherwise you WILL spend hundred of thousands of dollars and end up with negative ROI or loss of time and money. To give you an analogy, no matter how well a Ferrari is designed, you don't drive it in off-road conditions. There are many case studies online that try to tell us the importance of recognizing and understanding the purposes/functions/values of the products before we use it in real world, especially in SAP environment.
    Hope this helps...
