Trouble Shooting in Business Explorer and its Solution ....

Hi All BW Experts,
I would like to have some sample of BW Reporting issue (Data Discrepancies)and how to solve them in General including its solution. Like on Navigation Display and etc, any input is very highly regarded.
Thank You in Advance
Kumar

Hi dear,
first of all you need to divide the error analysis in several check-areas...
(WHERE your data is wrong ? in PSA? in data mart section? in the final infoprovider ? only at query level ? at DB level?)
As you can see, understand WHERE is your problem solves half problem it-self !
Then look at OSS notes, first of all to verify that there is no std bug in some pgm, or to receive some useful suggestion...
578379 "Analysis/Required infos for wrong values in BW Query Results"
565086 "Composite SAP note: Wrong or no data..."

Authorisations to Save in a role in Business Explorer

Good Afternoon,
I am attempting to allow certain users to save their workbooks in a certain role in Business Explorer, where they can share their workbooks with others that wish to see them (those who have access). But I dont want the users to be able to save changes or create workbooks in every role.
I am currently adding the authorisation object S_USER_TCD (Authorizations: Transactions in Roles) with the value * (All transactions) to the role. Unfortunately this allows the user to modify workbooks in EVERY role. How can I avoid this and only have the one role modifiable??
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Simon,
Using Auth object: S_USER_AGR, provide activities: 01, 02, 03, 06 and in the Role Name add the name of the role to which the workbooks are stored. This new role will then become your workbook maintenance role.
Hope this helps...

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

Federating the Business explorer role

Recently we have successfully federated some reports for some business users. Now another business group is interested in federating the Business explorer role. They would like to take advantage of the BexWebanayzer iview and a few of its features. They want the ability to personalize (change the columns and filteringu2026) a report and save it in their personal Portfolio area in KM on the producer. I'm having some issues federating that iview and the business explorer role. Is anyone aware of any other SAP users that have federated the Business explorer role?
Along with federating the role the users would like to hide 2 of the tabs within the popup iview of the "save as" in the BexWebAnalyzer iview . I don't know if this is even possible to modify the popup and I can't seem to find that popup object/iview.
Thanks, any info is appreciated.

Hey @ All,
how did you install the EP? What kind of Usagetype did you select?
To have the BI content installed to the EP you need to install the BI usagetype as well. So in SAPinstaller you have to check the marks properly.
If you have installed only the EP usagetype you are able to reinstall the BI usagetype afterwards. As far as I know you can start the SAPinstaller again and set the right checkmarks.
The BI (usagetype) content needs a WEBAS Java and EP installed.
Hope this explanation helped a little... if so points are very welcome since i am starting from scratch!
kind regards

Business Explorer - Internet Explorer

I present you following problem :
since the installation of the module Business Explorer for SAP Gui 7.10 we encounter problems with one of our manufacturers website application through Internet Explorer. It seems that Internet Explorer can't open the module (which is used to list a tree of several components) and so gives us an typical script error message on that specific page.
This problem has been reproduced on several computers and only occurs when the combination of Internet Explorer and Business Explorer is installed. The problem does not occur with other browsers like Firefox.
I wanted to download the latest patch available " bi710sp06p_602-10004472.exe BI AddOn Patch for GUI 7.10 602 Info 34960 21.08.2008" but can't seem to download it (error HTTP 400), even through the Download Manager.
Can anybody help us?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards!

Laurent, it appears our company is also having any issue with IE after upgrading our BI 7.0 Front End tools to PL5 or 500. In reading the notes regarding PL5 and PL6 (600,601,602) have not seen any mention of potential installation issues with PL5.
Our desktop group is researching what IE items might have changed with the BI 7.0 Front End Tools upgrade to PL5 and once I get some info from them, I will open an OSS message on this.
I am also trying to re-create on my laptop so I can see the issue myself.
More to come.

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
Saludos

InfoObject - Business Explorer Tab and field Authorization Relevant

Is their a SAP utility / table / or transaction which can identify a field flagged on InfoObjects.
I would like to determine all active InfoObjects which have the "authorization relevant" flagged on the
InfoObject - Business Explorer tab.
Version 7.0
Thank you ...... dan

Hi Dan,
trIf you have used old analysis authorizations of BW3.5, in transaction RSSM if you click on Check authorization infoobjects for all infoproviders you should find a list of all authorization object which are in productive use.
However, it does not give you the list of object which are marked as authorization relevant and have not been used in any productive cubes.
Try table RSDCHA in se16. CHARNM - Put your char name and in OBJVERS put A. Authorization relevant flag would be 'X', if it is marked for authorization relevance.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Sunmit.
