Can you run a piece of VB code in Excel attached to Macro button in Excel that launches an Application?
Notice that that question has nothing at all to do with java.
If the answer is yes, then if follows that because java is "an Application" that you can then run it.

Getting "Couldnot find Installable ISAM" error in script task in SSIS 2005 when trying to open (.xlsx files) Excel 2007-2010 files using VB script in Visual Studio 2005

Hi Experts,
I am trying to open .xlsx file in script task of SSIS 2005. I am using the 32-bit AccessDatabaseEngine driver with the Connection string as "Provider= Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=xlsx file path; Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;
HDR=YES"" in script task.
When we debug the VB script in Visual Studio 2005 and encounters the statement app.open() it throws the error "Couldn't find installable ISAM".
My SQL server version is 2005 SP2 DE
OS is Windows server 2003 EE SP2
Could anyone please let me know what is the resolution for this error?
Thanks and Regards,
Adesh

Hi Adesh,
First, make sure the package runs in 32-bit runtime mode (set Run64BitRuntime property to False) because you are using the 32-bit ACE OLE DB Provider. If it is not the case, the issue may occur due to the corrupted drivers or registry keys. You can try to
reinstall the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components as Arthur suggested.

I might not be understanding your question completely since you mention WAD and then Excel, but if you are asking how to get the key figure values using Javascript in WAD, you can go to the Dataprovider properties and enable 'Output Result Data'. This will embed an XML element into the HTML output that you can then parse using standard Javascript DOM navigation.
Hope this helps.

Why ribbon XML does not work in Excel 2007?

I installed 4 VSTO Excel add-ins on an Excel 2007 PC today. The two that use a visual designer ribbon worked fine. But the 2 that use a Ribbon (XML) did not. The add-in starts ok. But the ribbon does not show. Why would that be?
I wrote two more add-ins to demonstrate the problem. One puts an OK button on the ribbon using the visual designer. That add-in installs on the excel 2007 PC and works as it should. But the 2nd, an add-in that uses Ribbon (XML) to put a button on the
ribbon, does not work. The add-in does not display on the ribbon.
Here is the code of the Ribbon (XML) add-in project. How to get a ribbon (XML) ribbon to display in excel 2007?

Hello Steve,
Most probably you have got an error in the ribbon XML markup. See
How to: Show Add-in User Interface Errors for more information.
I have noticed the following xml namespace:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
Use the following one instead:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
Also make sure that specified idMso values exist in Office 2007.
You can read more about the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) in the following series of articles in MSDN:

BPC 7 : Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 Conflict

Hi Experts,
I have created a template in BPC 7 MS on my computer which has Excel 2003 version.
But when I try that template on another computer which has Excel 2007. The format (in the format Range) did'nt seem to work or it has diff effect on Excel 2007.
Is there really a conflict between them?? and cannot have different Microsoft Office version?? Or is there An Add-on that we have to Install so that Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 can be used at the same Time??
Thanks,
Bennie Jay

Sorin:
Situation
I also have the same issue with Excel formatting in Excel 2007, and I found a work-around specifically to my issue.
At the format section's CRITERIA, I have one entry: HEADING="New Budget" in the Column direction, apply certain color and number format to the cells of that column. However, I used Excel function CONCATENATE("HEADING=",EVDES("FINANCE",CATEGORY)) to come out with HEADING="New Budget", rather than just typing the string value.
With the above exercise, in Excel 2003 the format would apply no problem, but in Excel 2007, the entire formatting went wild and broke. After I dropped CONCATENATE() and just typed in HEADING="New Budget", the formatting applied OK in 2007.
Data
We are currently on BPC 5.1 SP5
The original report was built in Excel 2003
Question
Is there a setting in Excel that would allow me or bypass the restriction to use Excel functions to come out with CRITERIA definition?

In Excel 2007 the workbook calculation is set to Automatic by default.
Go to Excel Options | Formulas. Change Workbook Calculation to Manual and see if that improves the performance.

ALV to EXCEL-2007 issue

We are in the midst of changing over from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007.
We are seeing an issue in Excel 2007 with the use of the Microsoft Excel View option from the ALV output.
When the Excel view comes up, the Send button is grayed out. The users have to save the file to their PC and then re-open it before they can e-mail it. The Send button works for those that are still using Excel 2003.
If they use List-Export-Spreadsheet-Table-Microsoft Excel the Send button is there, but not all of our ALV report have this as an option.
Are there any thoughts on how to activate the Send button when using the Microsoft Excel View?

Before contacting OSS, search for notes. there are a number related to Excel 2007.

Error when using BeX Analyzer 7.0 with Excel 2007

When i try to execute a query in BeX analyzer 7.0 and my microsoft excel version is 2007, there will always have a fatal error showing. However, when i use the Bex Analyzer 3.5 , i could execute the query.
Anyway to solve this problem?

You need to do the following
Identify the SAP GUI version you're using, 6.40 or 7.10, and the patch level.
Identify the BW or BI Add-on and patch level of it.
From there, check to see if the versions you have actually support BI 7.0 and Excel 2007. Reliable Excel 2007 support requires failry current patch levels of both the SAP GUI and the corresponding BW/BW Add-ons..
Do you have access to a PC that has a more recent version of the SAP GUI and BW/ BI Add-on? If so, try using that PC and see if you still have the problem.

<b>where to get the jar and sda files to build the application??
In Developer Studio.. Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Classpath variables. Is this the only place where we need to give the jar file path??
Are there any other configurations to do(except setting container variable to MDM4J jar file) to connect my java application to MDM repository???</b>
Regards,
Chand.

Hi Govada,
(1)You need to add the MDM4j and other JAR files at:-
right click on project -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External JARs
(2)If the project is Web Dynpro project one
then right click on project -> Web Dynpro Reference -> Library Reference -> and add sap.com/com.sap.mdm.tech.mdm4j
Are you using JAVA API 1 or 2???
Thanking you

Building customize component using java API

Hi,
Appreciate for hepls... being trying this for few days...:(
I am trying to build a customize component to use in a process using adobe java API. I follow the document and include all the necessary lib files. It compiled with no errors. And I pack it into JAR file and deploy to the workbench, no error. Then I call the customized component method and it throw the error as below, is merely cause by "Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.client.TaskManagerClientFactory
". Portion of my code is as follow.
What did I miss out? I include the libs file as stated in the document. Do I need to specify the class-path in a manifest file? How? It is not mentioned in the document. Is the "adobe-taskmanager-client-sdk.jar" pack in one of the ear or war file in the App server's (I'm using websphere) installedApp directory?
Really appreciate for help... Is there any documents describing the deployment details. The sdk document is not very detail...
=== portion of the code ===
Properties ConnectionProps = new Properties();
ConnectionProps.setProperty("DSC_DEFAULT_EJB_ENDPOINT", "iiop://localhost:2809");
ConnectionProps.setProperty("DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL","EJB");
ConnectionProps.setProperty("DSC_SERVER_TYPE", "WebSphere");
ConnectionProps.setProperty("DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME", "administrator");
ConnectionProps.setProperty("DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD", "password");

Thanks WorkflowUser,
I manage to solve the NoClassDefFound problem in any other way. Will try your method.
What I do is I add the adobe-taskmanager-client-sdk.jar file to my customize component jar file (at root). And I add the classpath tag for the adobe-taskmanager-client-sdk.jar to the component.xml file. But when the customise component is run at a process. Another problem occured. I got an exception "com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.client.query.TaskRowImpl incompatible with com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.client.query.TaskRow".
It is cause by the following code,
TaskManager myTaskManager = TaskManagerClientFactory.getTaskManager(myFactory);
TaskFilter filter = queryProcess.newTaskFilter();
StatusFilter sf = filter.newStatusFilter();
sf.addStatus(StatusFilter.completed);
filter.setStatusFiltering(sf);
List result = queryProcess.taskList(filter);
Iterator iter = result.iterator();
int i = 0 ;
while (iter.hasNext()) {
TaskRow myTask = (TaskRow)iter.next(); //CAUSE BY THIS!!!
long taskId = myTask.getTaskId();
I try using this: TaskRowImpl myTask = (TaskRowImpl)iter.next();
also give exception error. Does it have to do with the compilation, the java version. My websphere is runing 1.5, and I compile using the same version... Any ideal? Thanks...
