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!

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

I got the answer from below link

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

No update of Business Explorer 3.50 and SCM via Installation Server 6.40

Dear all
We use SAP Installation Server 6.40 to deploy SAP Front End 6.40 and updates. For new installations, target systems will get the latest version of SAP GUI 6.40 (PL 27), Business Explorer 3.50 (PL 13) and Supply Chain Management add-on (PL 6).
On existing installations only SAP GUI will be patched resp. updated. Business Explorer 3.50 and Supply Chain Management add-on will not be patched by Installation Server. We have checked this by local installation of patch (patch level 13, your present patch level 4). What is going wrong? Has anyone a hint how I can solve this problem?
Thanks
PK

Hi. I'm think first you need to chek this :
Viewing the Log
Use
You can check the installation by viewing the log file sapsetup.log. The log file can be found in:
C:\WINDOWS\ under Windows XP
C:\WINNT\ under Windows 2000
The most recent log has no number. The older logs are numbered. The higher the number, the older the log. Each time new log is generated, each of the log numbers is incremented by 1.
Procedure
1. Run saplogvw.exe from the server, to start the SAPSetup Log Viewer.
2. Enter the path and filename of the log file.
3. Choose Finish.
The log file is displayed. Errors are colored red. Warnings are colored blue.
Also run this in command line
sapsetup.exe /check
Regards.

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,
Tom Willems

Business Explorer 7.1 With Windows Server 2000?

Hi
We are looking to upgrade our SAP GUI from 620 to 710. As part of this due to other system install and upgrades we are looking to upgrade the Business Explorer from the included 3.5 to 7.1.
My issue/question is this......I am reading conflicting information, of sorts, in that in the prerequisites it states that Business Explorer 7.1 is only compatible with Windows XP or Vista. However in the installation guide for Business Explorer 7.1 in Chapter 5 it says "The user with which you are logged in to your workstation (Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista)"
To add to the confusion we access the SAP GUI, and in turn the business explorer, via Citrix and so there is no SAP software installed locally on the users desktops.
So in case I haven't yet asked the question, Is it possible to have Business Explorer 7.1 working on Windows 2000 Server? And if so is it straightforward or are there workarounds required?
Thanks in advance
Ian Newbury

We have installed the BEx Analyser version 7.1 and it works so the answer to my question is Yes.

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.

Business Explorer crashing excel

Hello,
Each time I attempt to start Business Explorer Analyzer it crashes Excel before Excel will fully load.
This morning it worked, but between this morning and now I installed the following files to the Excel startup folder: Personal.xls, book.xlt, sheet.xlt, and toolbar.xlb.
After I installed these files to the startup folder, BEx analyzer started crashing Excel.
I have since removed all of these four files, but now BEx analyzer still crashes excel on load each time, and I cannot find any way around this.
Please help. Thanks,
Jon

hi Jon,
what's the 'red' status ? something dll file ? you may try to re-install bw add-on or re-register the files,
check if oss 615800 may help.
oss message is a message we create and send to sap to report error found and through sap propose solution, service.sap.com/message, need id, you can ask basis for one.
please don't forget to reward helpful answers.
ps. Peter is our bw frontend expert (especially excel, vba)
oss note
Symptom
After upgrade of a BW Frontend installation from a 4.6 GUI (BW 2.x)
to a 620 GUI (BW 3.x), the frontend check program sapbexc.xla
causes a memory-Access violation / Dr. Watson on execution
on verification of the wdttree.ocx
The Query-Designer causes a similar memory Access violation.
Other terms
wdttree.ocx, sapfwdraw.dll, sapfewrm.dll, sapfhook.dll, sapfewut.dll
sapbexc.xla, Bex Analyzer, Bex Query Designer
Reason and Prerequisites
The removal of the 4.6C/D gui was incomplete.
A number of DLL's have remained in system libary path (c:\winnt\system32.exe).
The 620 Frontend attempts to load several dll's formerly shipped with the 46C gui if started from BW-Programs (presumably in non-new visual design mode).
The SAPGUi relies on these DLL's beeing no longer present.
In the specific case, the following DLL's were still present in the c:\winnt\system32 directory in a 46 version (Right mouse-> Properties -> Version 46xx.x.xx.xxx ).
c:\winnt\system32\sapfhook.dll
c:\winnt\system32\sapfewrm.dll
c:\winnt\system32\sapfdraw.dll
c:\winnt\system32\sapfewut.dll
Solution
Case specific solution:
Remove the remainders of the 46C/D gui installation:
Unregister the files by executing the following steps from the
commandline ( or via a script).
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfhook.dll
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfewrm.dll
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfdraw.dll
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfewut.dll
Subsequentlyremove them from the library directories.
General Solution:
1). Remove all 4.6C DLL's prior to installation of the
620 GUI. Refer to the SAPInstall-Documentation for this process.
2) Verify that all sap components have been removed from the PC.
Check specifically the c:\winnt\system32 directory for components
labelled sap.dll or sap.ocx.
Check via the respective properties whether the components is
a) delivered by SAP ( Manufacturer ).
b) part of the 46 Setup ( Version 46xx.xxx.xxx.xxx ) .
2.1) Manually unregister these components by the script above.
(regsvr32 /u <yourdll/ocx> ). Note that some DLL's need not/cannot
be unregistered, this is not a cause for alarm.
2.2) Remove them from the pc ( keeping a backup).
2.3)(optional) You may want to run Dlister.exe ( See Note 585643 ) to check for suspicious dll's of potentially SAP origin. Look for dlls with an sap versioning pattern (SAPGui 46xx.x.x.x, BW 3xxx.x.x.x).
3) Install the 620 SAPGui and the 3.x BW Frontend.
Please refer to the respective documentation. Note that there have been changes to some commandline options for the sapinst setup.
The 620 GUI/3.x BW should bring all SAP components required for a clean installation on a new PC.

Inactive menu "PC check" in Business Explorer

Hello BI expert,
I 've installed SAPGUI 7.10 patch 4, BW 3.5 addon patch 2 and BI 710 addon patch 300 on pc (window XP SP2, Excel 2002 SP3.
In the Bex Analyser, the entries tab PC check (and Browser, Web Application Designer) into the Business Explorer are not active (displayed as pale gray) ?
Files sapbexc350710.xla and sapbexc710.xla are present in C:\Program Files\...\SAP Shared\BW and the results is correct when I execute then directly.
But I don't understand why it is not possible to launch them by menu into the BusinessExplorer.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi,
Problem with the installation of these files.I will recommend you to uninstall the GUI and frontend patch and reapply it again.

"404 error" for business explorer

Hi Expert,
I installed SAP Business Objects Enterprise 4.0 SP2 for development, test and productive environment and they work fine. Development and Test BOE are installed in a single host instead the productive environment is installed in more hosts, in particular this is the configuration for the productive BOE environment:
host 1: WAS (Tomcat 6)
host 2: WAS (Tomcat 6)
host 3: CMS server 1
host 4: CMS server 2
host 5: CMS DB
After that I installed BOE, I also installed SAP Business Explorer 4.0 in the development, test and productive environment (I installed BE in host 3 and host 4). SAP Business Explorer work fine in development and test system instead is not working in the productive environment. In particular if i go to BI lunch pad (productive environment) and I selected the Business Explorer icon the following error message appear:
404 Missing Page
The page you requested is not available on this web server for one of the
following reasons:
I checked on Central Management console the status of the Business Explorer servers and they are in status "running".
I noted that in the development and test system the file explorer.war has been created from the BE installation program in the following folder :
"D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjectsEnterprise XI 4.0\wdeploy\workdir\tomcat6\application"
instead in the productive environment the file explorer.war doesn't exist. How can I resolve this critical issue? Must I install some component also in the WAS hosts?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
gio'

Looks like you need to do a web tier install on your tomcat server or you could copy the war file over. How did you deploy your war files when you did your initial install of BOE? Do you see an explorer folder in your tomcat6\webapps directory?
