Business Explorer 7.10 -- Bex Problem

Hi to all,
we have implemented GUI for Business Explorer 7.10.
Everything (Query Designer, Web Designer) works fine, except Bex Analyser.
When click on any item in Bex Analyser Toolbox (Excel) nothing appears.
Analyser 3.x that comes with GUI 7.10 works fine.
Our Office Version is 2003.
Anybody knows waht we have to do ?
Thanks in advance.
Horst

In continuation....
Some Insights-
The minimum frontend requirements for any backend support pack are available in table: RSFRONTENDINIT
In order to launch new Bex ,the setting has to be made in the new BEx Analyzer, and is called "Launch legacy version from RRMX"
However for some this settng worked for some it didnt ,check below link to tweak settings as needed.
Re: Launch of BEx Analyzer via RRMX, other transaction?
But the important note on FEP for Bex analyzer versions is
Note 970002 - Which BEx Analyzer version is called by RRMX?
it talks the SP level 10 and 12 to be minimum and walks you through different ways to achive the Bex version.
Re: BEx analyzer settings
BEx Query version required
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Anil

BI 7.0 Business explorer / analyzer Can't open queries

Hi, I recently upgrade our 3.0B sandbox to BI 7.0. When I run "start" -> "Programs" -> Business explorer -> analyzer Excel bex tool launches but when I click on the folder to open queries (Offnen open) Nothing comes up. However, if I am logged into the BI 7.0 system and lanuch RRMX excel comes up with the Business explorer tool bar. I re-read the upgrade guide and could not find out if I am supposed to run a conversion program or this is the default behavior.
Thanks in Advance

Hi PG. When I run transaction RRMX from within SAP gui while logged into BI 7.0, Excel launches and I get the Business Explorer tool bar. I have the options "open" "save" "refresh query" Back" "change query" "goto" "Olap Functions ..." "format" "layout" "tools" "settings" and "help" Under Settings I don't have "Launch Legacy Version from RRMX".
I clicked on help -> about and it showing me finall release 3.5. Shouldn't it read 7.0?
The installation of sap gui with BW add on was done with DVD 50083078 SAP NetWaver 2004s presentation SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 comp 1.
If I click on "Start" "All Programs" "Business Explorer" "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x) -> Analyzer (BW 3.x) it's also showing version release 3.5 but the Business explorer tool bar is there. If from the excel menu I click Business Explorer -> Installation check I get the message 12 red signed Files found , 14 yellow signed Files found, please check SAPSETUP.LOG in c:\windows. See note 197460 from more details. I can't find the sapsetup.log anywhere (supposed to be under c:\windows). Note 197460 refers to the check I just ran. The note also mentions Red files have to be manually registered, so it looks like I will either have to find a newer release or have a lot of work to do

BI7 Business Explorer Installation Problem

I am new to BI, after install SAPGUI Front End and SAPBIGUI and then install BI7.10 Business Explorer 1000 patch. However when I go to Program -> Business Explorer -> Analyzer, an Excel pop up, click on the Bex Toolbox ("xxxBEx Analysis Toolboxxxx") Open icon, an foreign language label show "Offnen" , double click, no response. Move over other icon show like German "Sichern" "Atkualisieren" "Werkzenge".
Normally, it should allow me to click, and let me select "Open Query" or "open Workbook", however if I use the BW 3.x, it works fine.
Please let me know what goes wrong.
Thanks a lot

Business Explorer (BEX) Query open Error

Hi
When opening BEX(Business Explorer) Queries from Excel , it asks for System to choose.
But business doesn't want to see this option. It should go directly to open query selection for the system it has logged in.
Say , it has logged in BIQ , it should go to open the queries selction for BIQ without asking to login to BIQ as user has already logged in BIQ.
In some other users desktop , when they open Queries from Excel it directly goes to open query selection without prompting for System selection
We are using SAP GUI 7.20 patch 4 , BEX 3.5 patch 3.
We also have BEX 7.20 but we will not use it
We tried to with applying all latest patches but we still get the same error.
We perfomred a Excel test provided by SAP , that shows gree.
Business wants to use SAP GUI 7.20 patch 4 and BEX 3.5 patch 3.
Can any one help on this ?
Note: please don't recommed to apply latest patch to GUI or BEX or apply patch to System component. . Thats not the solution as the current version works in some other desktops.
Please let me know if you want to understand more in this scenario.
Thanks
Rabi Kumar

Dear Das,
In that case you need to call the RRMX transaction from your BW system and if SSO works , then it leads you directly
to the Open save dialog.
For SSO , I would suggest you to please implement the below note:
Note 1498947 : RRMX: Logon mechanism for 720 GUI.

Arvind

Problem executing a report in the Business Explorer

Hi people,
I'm trying to execute a report with the transaction RRMX in BW but when I execute it in the business explorer I receive this error:
internal error Problem when writing table: C_T_VARIABLES
Abort system error in program SAPLRRK0 and form NODE_AUTORITY_FILL_2
Someone have an idea of the problem?
Thanks a lot!

Hi
Is it for all your reports ?
If it is for one, what does it do ?
Do you have the customer exit activated and filled in ?

View Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) queries in NWBC?

Hiya,
The business would really like to view their BW report via NWBC.
Currently they are using Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) - this is the analysis and reporting tool that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
IS there any way that NWBC can connect to this?
Or would a different approach be needed for making BW queries in NWBC?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, by web enabling them. The latest and coolest solution available is connecting Lumira to the BEx query. There are many other options such as WAD, Xcelsius, Crystal Reports, etc. You should take this discussion to the relevant space (BEx, Business Objects, BI, etc).

SAP Business Explorer (BEx), not BI

For clarification, in 2008, SAP used the term u2018business intelligenceu2019 in two ways:
SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions
SAP NetWeaver BI
In order to remove confusion, the term business intelligence is now associated only with the solutions from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio.
SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) is no longer used and instead we refer to the following:
SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW)
SAP Business Explorer (SAP BEx)
SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (BWA)
Therefore, this forum name should probably not refer to BI. We hope this helps clear up the confusion.

Hola esta información la he encontrado la he recolectado de la comunidad
BEx (Business Explorer) es la herramienta de informes que se utiliza para trabajar con datos en la base de datos BW. BEx tiene una interfaz de usuario basada en Web y está formado por dos componentes, el navegador BEx y el analizador de Bex.
El navegador BEx proporciona una interfaz organizada donde el usuario puede acceder y trabajar con cualquier tipo de documento que se les asigna en la bodega de Información Empresarial, tales como libros, enlaces e informes BW. La base de datos BW misma se divide en áreas de datos discretos llamados InfoCubos que se componen de los datos y los metadatos asociados. El analizador BEx permite al usuario examinar los datos segmentados en una variedad de combinaciones útiles, por ejemplo, al comparar los datos financieros de diferentes ejercicios.
Con esto el BEx es una herramienta de reportes para Inteligencia de Negocios usada para el Bussines Warehouse(BW), el WEBI es la herramienta de reportes usada por Bussines Object (BO), el Universe designer se usa para crear los universos en los cuales quieres tus fuentes de datos sacadas de una bodega como el BW.
Espero te ayude mi respuesta para aclarar tus dudas

Business Explorer install error

Hello all,
I am currently trying to update our existing Business Explorer 3.5 (patch level 11) to the latest patch version 13 with the sapadmin tool. The installation works fine but when we try to open a query in business explorer excel addin I get the following error:
<install error> Missing ActiveX component: Business Explorer Open Dialog.
The version information states that Bex is at patch level 13.
If I then manually install the patch (no objections that i'm already at patch level 13 here), everything works fine. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Hey all,
Good news, i found out what the problem was. One of the dll's needed was not registered:
wdbfodlg.dll
I now manually registered this dll in the install script, but it remains strange that it was not included in the normal installation via SMS.
Greetings,

Business Explorer code

Hi Guys,
Is there any way that we can control BEx (SAP Business Explorer) VBA Code... ? I am able to login to business Explorer with BWLogon() code and i am able to refresh query using "Run "SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXrefresh", False, myRange". but as soon as this code executed i am getting a form where i need to give some input like Period number, Fisical Year number or Employee number like that and then i have to click on Execute (Manually). what i am looking is , is there any VBA code through which i can do click on Execute button in the form or entering values in to required fields of the form ... ?
please do let me know ... as soon as possible.
thanks in advance,
sukumarchalla

Hi Shakaran,
What version of GUI r u using?
use GUI 710 - it will solve your problem.
ask your basis guy to install the patch or reinstall the GUI 710 on your system so that you will get the BEX options.

Business Explorer Installation

Hi Everyone,
I've installed the SAPgui and Business Explorer for BI7 and BW 3.5 on my system. Everything except the BEx Analyzer for BI 7 is working fine. When I try to start the Analyzer, an excel window pops up, but the BEx toolbar with the 'Open, Save, Refresh' buttons does not appear. When I execute RRMX, I get a message 'Business Explorer is not installed. Please install Business Explorer'.
I removed and re-installed BEx but I'm still getting the same error.
This problem is only with the BEx for BI7 component. The 3.5 BEx is working fine. Also the other components like Query Designer, Report Designer are working fine.
Is this a problem with my installation or am I missing some settings to be done for BEx for BI7?
Thanks,
Ram

Oké... than I know what you have to do:
read note 1121263 and implement the zip-file that is named there.
Actually, the bex analyzer is not properly installed because there is a key registration missing in your excel. (believe me: you are not alone... happened already with 3 of my customers...)
once you installed the zip-file, open your analyzer again and the ? is yellow and analyzer will work fine.
Don't forget to install support packages afterwards!
Ciao

SAP Business Explorer Analyzer Performance testing

Hi, All
I don't have any experience in SAP at all. So maybe I will ask silly questions.
I was asked to provide performance testing for SAP Business Explorer Analyzer. As you know it is Excel base application with ActiveX control from SAP. HP Loadrunner doesn't support such configuration (It can only work with SAPGUI). So I am forced to search for other possible solutions. So maybe here I can get ideas and opinions about options:
1. I asked SAP admins about possibility to do the same things what users do from BEx (query execution + some drill down in data) in SAPGUI, maybe with predefined parameters or with additional customization. Unfortunately I've got an answer that it isn't possible at all. Is it really?
2. Another idea is to simulate what users do in BEx with VBA since anyway Excel interacts with BEx engine via DBA. There I met another problem. There is no any documentation about ActiveX components (e.g. com.sap.bi.et.analyzer.addin.BExConnect) or API used in BExAnalyzer.xla. The question is "is it possible or not to fully automate all data manipulation with VBA" and "Where can I get documentation about SAP VBA API?"
Thanks,
Alexander

You can run the queries with drilldown using transaction rsrt in list mode and interact via standard screen functions
This won't however give you the WAN or the presentation server overhead (ie formatting of the cells with excel wrappers of styles)
Read here for a testing example

Business Explorer Analyzer not installed

Hi, I installed SAP GUI 710 (patch level 8) and I have no problems going into Bex Query Designer but when I try clicking for Analyzer, it doesnt work. Nothing happens.. But when I try using transation RRMX, i get an error that the Business Explorer Analyzer is not installed. I am using Excel 2007.. Can you help? Do I have to do anything else??

Hi,
I had similar problem in my PC also earlier. After updating to our IT Dept, they uninstalled GUI and then installed .Net patches and then SAP GUI 710 with latest patch.
Also in MS Office 2007 they went into the Macro security settings and made it low.
After that the problem is resolved.
Hope this helps.
