Business Explorer Role

Hi
I have assigned a role for Business Explorer : com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase.
I got the following links:
My Portfolio | BEx Portfolio | BEx Web Analyzer | BEx Broadcaster | Collaborative BI
What is purpose of this role. Can anyone give me some documentation about the purpose of this role.
Murali.

Hi Murali,
the Business Explorer role is a show case for Information Broadcasting. My Portfolio, BEx Portfolio and Collaboriative BI have different layouts and features for working with a BW report.
Information Broadcasting is a feature of a BW system.
For more information look at

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.
Jim

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
Tobi

Business Explorer and Business Intelligence Roles

Can someone answer the following questions about these 2 roles:
Business Explorer
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase
Business Intelligence
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.bi_showcase
It appears the BI Role above has the Business Planning feature, but Business Explorer does not. Other than this, can someone explain the difference and why 2 seperate roles?
Also, if we give users the Business Explorer role, we do not want them to see the Bex Broadcasting tab that comes by default. Is the only way to avoid this is create a copy of this standard delivered ivew (contained in the Business Explorer Role) and remove this tab?
Can anyone share thoughts or experience with these 2 different roles and modifying?
Thanks, Mark.

Business Explorer role is from 3.5 and BI role is new in 04s.
You will have to create the copy and remove the unwanted iViews from the new role.
You can set permissions at iView level (permission to specfc users for broadcaster iView) but it will be hard maintaining it.

Publish web templates in business explorer

Hello Guys,
In standart business explorer role , we can run queries in BEX Web Analyzer in portal.But we can not see web templates in BEX Analyzer in business explorer role in portal.It is not possible to see web templates in business explorer role in portal?

Hi,
Web Templates have to been embedded into iViews.
iViews are the smallest possible unit of information in the Portal. You can arrange them in Pages, Worksets and Roles.
Thus, if you want them in the Portal, "wrap" them into an iView, then is it up to you whether you put them in the Business Explorer tab or elsewhere.
For information :
- Business Intelligence (1st level tab) is both a Role and a Workset. The fact that it appears on the first level is because it is set as an Entry point in the Workset.
- Business Explorer is a Workset (2nd level tab)
You have to be Content Admin. to create Portal Content in the Content Administration tab : the editor that is called is the Portal Content Editor.
Best regards,
Guillaume

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...

there are 3 items to change in layout set

by making changes in above 3 u can get the layout options as u wish.
copy the admin iview and change the layout set with modified one and assign to end user role.

Business Partner Role Specific Field View in WebClient

Hello to everyone,
I have a question that really needs a answer. We are upgrading from SAP CRM v4 to SAP CRM v7.0 and as such we have a number of custom Business Partner Roles within the Person BP Type. Against these custom roles we have developed custom field and tabs in order to separate the content within the BP Role further.
After rolling off an implementation of SAP CRM v6.0 [2007], the following seems apparent:
- Assignment of Roles is done via an assignment block in the Customer Maintenance view.
- You can create Business Partners in different roles initially.
- You cannot maintain Business Partner details in specific roles
However, you cannot display the role specific fields as you can in the WinClient. As an example, a Citizen Role BP will have different fields to that of a Teacher, but these roles could be assigned to one Business Partner.
There does not seem to be any guidance as to how this is managed in the WebClient and as it seems a fundamental part fo the SAP CRM offering, you would have thought that this questions has been asked, but I have found no answers.
I really hope anyone can help and appreciate any time and effort put into solving my question.
Many Thanks,
MatFlat.

Hi MatFlat,
Yes, your observation is right - in the Web UI, fiel grouping is not implemented for roles. This is because the role concept is quite different between SAP Gui and Web UI.
In SAP gui, (CRM 4.0) roles had a functional meaning as well as a UI control. However, the concept was changed with Web UI. Now, roles have only a functional meaning, and no effect on the UI at all.
If you want to implement role based field grouping in Web UI, you need to define your own methods in the implementation class.
E.g : you can write code to influence the field properties based on the roles. I guess you can redefine the DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT methods of the impl class.
In order to get info about which roles the BP is maintained , you can use FM BUPA_ROLES_GET_2.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
Rishu.

E-Recruiting 6.0: Business Partner Role For Branches

Hi Experts,
In the IMG, SAP E-Recruiting > Basic Settings > Enterprise Structure > Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Can anyone help in the following:
1) What is the purpose of Business Partner Role and how does it relate the Branches? Or how can i make use of it?
2) If i am going to maintain the Company & Branches via the Administrator function instead of IMG, do I still need to configure this step: Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Thanks. Will reward points for any helpful tips.
William

Hello William,
the Business Partner is an application / module which belongs to the base components of the SAP. It is used and partly extended by various other applications / modules. Next to E-Recruiting it is used for example by CRM and the financial service solution (FS-CS, FS-PM, FS-RI). All of these modules can put their data for a person or an organization into the same tables. Depending on the installation / system environment or even within one single module the requirements for available fields and business checks as on authorization differ between kinds of business partners (e.g. in FS-CS the commission solution for the financial service sector knows external agents and internal employees which have to be treated differently). The business partner is the element to assign the logical / business role in which a person is handled by the system.
For E-Recruiting you have 2 kinds of business partners, too. On the one and there are people being candidates and on the other hand there are branches of your company which hire people. The configuration allows you to seperate them if you need to identify anywhen which business partner is a branch and which is a candidate. So far I never tried if this is really working as there is no real use for this I never set it up. The attributes and the business checks are the same anyways.
Hope that helps a bit to understand the context
Best Regards
Roman Weise
PS: please remember that you have to maintain the branches via administrator bsp application. Using the IMG entry won't work.

Problem in Creating a Business Partner Role

Hi Frns,
I am trying to create a BP Role from CAC->SAP Business Partner->Business Partner->Business partner Roles->Define BP Roles.
I copied BUP003 and given my BP Role name as ZEmp.
When i try to save it, it is giving an error message saying
"NO STANDARD ASSIGNMENT DEFINED FOR BP ROLE CATEGORY BBP003".
I have checked in BBP003 Category in the same.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in Advance
Rohan

Hi Roshan,
You have Created a BP Role,
You must also have assgned the Same to a BP Role Category Check the Settings for BP Role Category Assignment and when Appropriate you shall Assign Std Assignment of BP Role Category to your BP Role by Selecting the Check Box
Referal Notes:
BP Role Category
Attribute of a BP role.
Use
The role category makes it possible for SAP and customer programs to program on the BP role.
Dependencies
The role category depends on a differentiation type.
Any number of BP roles can be assigned to a role category, with one role always acting as the standard role per role category.
It is possible to control the update of a role by assigning a role category to a role.
Hope it Anwers your Queries..
Thanks and Regards,
RK.

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..."
112458 "Trace log in the Business Explorer"
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto
