Broadcasting in EXCEL export to PDF, Bex Analyzer

Hi!
The user wants to export the Bex Analyzer Workbook (excel) to PDF... HOW CAN I DO IT???
Thanks a lot...

Hi Leticia,
Here's are some things you can do with Broadcaster...
1. Broadcast a workbook from BEx Analyzer (must have Precalc Server set up for this). You cannot Broadcast in .pdf format from an Excel workbook. There will be no option in Broadcaster for that.
2. Broadcast a .pdf from Report Designer where your Excel query needs to be highly formatted. Create the Enterprise (RD) report first from your query, then you can Broadcast from there.
3. Broadcast a .pdf from Query Designer. Open the query and create a Broadcast Setting from the query itself and select .pdf as the format. The only difference between this and #2 above is that the .pdf won't be so nicely formatted as the Report Designer version of the query. However, you don't have to go to the trouble of creating the Enterprise (RD) version of the report using this option.
4. Broadcast a .pdf from a Web Template. You could publish the query to the Web and then create the Broadcast setting from the Web Template and select .pdf as the format.
5. Also Broadcast in other formats (i.e. Excel (XML), Portal, etc.) from Query Designer, etc.
The best looking (nicest format) .pdf would be Broadcast from a Report Designer version of the Query. The nicest Excel version would be from a Workbook within BEx Analyzer (where it would be Broadcast exactly the way it looks in BEx). But, per my comments above, you have other options. These of course are not every option but only pertain to your question about Broadcasting as a .pdf.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
R u working as Security consultant or BI developer.
If you are a BI developer you dont have access to Auth objects S_RFC.
If you are security consultant you have access and to look where for S_RFC.
I dont know how your roles organaized.But try this way.
1. gO TO TRANSACTION SUIM
2. select ROLES.
3. Under roles select Roles by Complex Selection Criteria.
4. Under this go to 4 th box Selection by profiles and Authorization Objects
5. enter S_RFC in Authorization Object.
and execute.Then you get all the roles in which S_RFC is there.
Then see the roles of the user for whoom RRMX does not work.
and match the role to the selection criteria and make the changes to S_RFC in the role.
generate role and save.
If you are not security consultant u dont have access to any of these.
Consult u r basis or security team and tell them to check the values of S_RFC.
Getback if u have any questions.

Bex Web - Export to Excel / Export to PDF

Hi gurus,
Using BI-IP.
In a web-template, I use the function "Export to Excel 2000" (or "Printable version", which generates a PDF file). The function works, except that at detailed level there is no data for input-ready columns.
Is it a known bug ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : it works fine for a user of mine

How to save BI report into normal excel sheet in Bex Analyzer

Hi Experts,
version of Bex Analyzer:
Bi addon 7.x
support package 7,patch 1
version 7004.4.0.5
excel-2003
when i am trying to save the report into excel in Bex Analyzer as below:
file-save as->Microsoft excel work.
when I open excel I am getting pop up windowu201Dthis file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.Since your running under high security level,these macros will be disabled.u201D
when I click ok I am getting one more pop upwindow as u201Cmacros are diabled because the security level is set to high and a digitally signed trusted certificate is not attached to macros.to run the macros,change the security level to a lower setting(not recommended),or request the macros signed by the author using a certificate issued by a certificate authority.
what are these macros? why i am getting this pop up windows
When i opened the excel report is not looks like general excel report.how can I generate general excel report .I should not want to get excel report as in bex analyzer.I donu2019t want to have author ,status of data,chart,filter,information in excel report.
what settings I have to made to save the report in general excel format.
As i am new to Bi please correct me if i am wrong.
Anything is appreciable.
regards,
naresh.

Macros in general are nothing but piece of code in excel.
To allow unsigned macros to run, the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box must be selected on the Trusted Publishers tab of the Security dialog box. This option is selected by default. If it is not selected (recommended), Excel allows you to run only macros that have trusted digital signatures.
1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.
2. On the Trusted Publishers tab, select the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box.

BEx Analyzer: BEx Broadcaster Option Greyed out

Hi Folks,
We are currently running SAP NW7.0 Enhancement Pack 1.
In BEx Analyzer, I have a query view saved from a query. I want to perform information broadcasting using this query view via BEx Analyzer, but the "BEx Broadcaster" option is unavailable, i.e., greyed out.
How do I resolve this?
I have found a workaround which is to open the main query from Query Designer, and then clicking Publish to get the web interface of information broadcasting to open up, and then selecting Query View and clicking Open to open my query view.
But I would still like to know how to open the BEx Broadcaster directly from BEx Analyzer.
Please advise, and thanks in advance!

Hello,
Dennis suggestion should works.
You have to be in mind, if you are using BEx Analyzer 7.0 you MUST have be installed the BI Java, otherwise the Broadcastwill not works.
If you have it, execute the note 937697 and fix ALL red marks. Probably this is a communication issue between ABAP and Java side.
Thanks.

Error when launching BEx analyzer from Portals

BI Gurus...
We are working on an initiative to migrate our user interface from SAP GUI to Enterprise Portal.
Bex Analyzer is primary mode of reporting at this time.
After importing the Roles into EP, I am able to execute the web queries successfully, in the BEx Wen analyzer. But, I get an error when I click on any of the excel workbooks. Our expectation was that once we click on the excel workbook name, the BEx analyzer will launch from EP. But it seems like the issue is with launching BEx Analyzer from BI Portal.
Has anyone faced this issue before?
Is it possible to launch BEx Analyzer from EP?
Are their some key portal settings we have missed out on to enable launching BEx analyzer from EP?
Please provide your thoughts/experience.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi WernerS,
Thanks for your response.
The RRMXP Transaction works and it launching the BEx Analyzer as expected.
Now, as per our research, I think there are 2 ways of launching BEx analyzer from BI Portals.
1) Call via a URL
You can call BEx Analyzer via the following URL: http(s)://<server:port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/rsr_bex_launch/bexanalyzerportalwrapper.htm
You can modify the URL to open BEx Analyzer with either a workbook, a query or a query view. You can use the following parameters to do this:
●      Parameter to open the workbook: ?WBID=<wb_id>
I have tried calling via URL iView, but instead of launching the BEx Analyzer, it just throws a dialog box to "save" or "open" a file, RRMX.bex. When I try to open this file, it says "Invalid File Format".
I tried opening the file in notepad and I see the following parameters passed.
           test
           Data=BX2,CONAJP,EN,mikoyan,17,,,250,
           9
Any clue about what I am doing wrong?
2) Calling via a Transaction
You can generate BEx Analyzer in Portal Content Studio as an SAP Transaction iView.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.app integrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction Code (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
●      The Transaction Code for all workbooks is RRMXP.
●      The ApplicationParameter property contains the value WBID=<WORKBOOK_ID>.
I have tried this approach as well. When I open this iView, I see the RRMXP transaction in the Internet explorer, but the workbooks still does not open in the BEx Analyzer (Excel)
Any thoughts on where am I going wrong ?
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi,
Check your support package and patch level of your BEx Suite. BI 7.10 Support Package 6 Patch 1 works fine with Excel 2007.
You might also want to check your installation using the file "sapbexc.xla" on your hard drive. You should find it in C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\Bw or similar, although i'm not quite sure this works with BI 7...

PDF Printing Capabilities for NW2004s - Bex Analyzer (MSExcel)

Hi,
the new NW2004s-Bex Web frontend offers the pdf-printing capabilites.
<b>Will this functionality be offered for the NW2004s-Bex Analyzer (MS Excel) Frontend tool as well and does anyone know when?</b>
Thanks
Christian

I don't think it will ever be used with Excel, except you have a local installation of Adobe Distiller (? the adobe printer creating .pdf-files ?). To me it doesn't makes sense because in Excel you can print as you like. Nevertheless you can jump to the BEx Broadcaster or Web Analayzer. There you can use pdf-printing.
Best regards,
Leo

Bex broadcaster in bex analyzer

Dear all,
I have created a report in bex analyzer. I want to add this report to portal, therefore i need to select bex broadcasting from excel bex analyzer menu.
My questions are as follows:
1) As i read in document, i can put analyzer reports in portal. Is it correct?
2) In excel bex analyzer menu, my bex broadcaster menu item is in display mode. Why can it be like this?
Thanks

You can directly add the BEx query to the portal. While creating iview there is an option for BEx query also. Just select your query there and you can access this query through portal. For that Broadcaster option present in BEx analyzer I m still searching how to use it.

Excel 2002 with BEx Analyzer NW2004s

Hi,
can I use Excel 2002 with BEx Analyzer NW2004s? I read somewhere, it is possible only with Office 2003. It's true?
Thanks!

Hi, for some reason the BI FAQs on SDN are not up-to-date. I will investigate and make sure they are refreshed asap.
You always find the up-to-date FAQs on SAP Service Marketplace /bifaq. There you see the correct answer:
Which versions of Microsoft Office are supported by SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI Business Explorer (BEx)?
BEx in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) supports MS Office 2003 and Office XP, SP2 (this includes Excel 2002) based on GUI 6.40
BEx in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) supports MS Office 2003 based on GUI 7.10
For information on planned support for Windows Vista and Office 2007 (based on GUI 7.10) please check the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW7.0 (2004s).
There is
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools on MS Office 97
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools for Office XP (Excel 2002) in combination with GUI 7.10
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools for Vista in combination with GUI 6.40

Cannot open query in Excel (BEX analyzer)

Hello Experts,
Issue: Cannot open the BEX report in Excel but can open the same report on IE.
1) I am trying to open a BEX report "ReportA" in Excel (BeX Analyzer).
2) As soon as the report opens it shows me a message "Do you want to open the 3.X workbook for upgrade"
3) I click on "OK"
4) then i get a message window listing a lot of warnings liike " Access to project denied" "creation of items failed"
5) i click on "OK"
6) Now, variable entry screen appears
7) i enter values and click on "OK" the report does not show any data.
Now, the same report "reportA" when i open it in Internet Explorer, it displays data. What can be reason for this problem in BEX analyzer ?
Please comment.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair
Edited by: Suraj S Nairon Dec 28, 2009 10:50 AM

Hi Suraj,
If you want to execue your query, you can use the bex analyzer.
If you are opening the query from query designer 3.x query in 7.0 fronend, it will get upgraded and then cannot be reveted.
In your case this automatic migration might be havng some issues, owing to complexities.
Please recheck.

Change in report format after exporting from pdf format to excel format.

Hi,
I got a problem while exporting the pdf format of the Report to Excel format "Fully-Foramtted Grids and Texts".
The format gets automatically changed.
Is there any solution to this problem.

Can you give some more details?
Which version are you using (and which patch level - if any).
Also what formatting is default on the reports and what is the default format in excel.
What exactly is different between PDF and excel?
Another possibility is that font substitution is going on??
