Business Explorer Sorting Function

Hi Experts,
Weu2019re using BO Explorer XI 3.2 together with BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 SP2 on top of a SAP BW 7.01.
Our issue is the sorting of months in a proper order. The Info Object we are using is 0CALMONTH2. There is no choice to sort it by key or text in the information space. Only ascending or descending by text, smallest to largest, largest to smallest and occurrences (row count).
Any ideas?
I would be so pleased to get some help.
Best regards
Carsten

Explorer Sorting in Manage Space in Business Explorer

What is the meaning of "Explorer Sorting" when you start to create the space and add in the object? It says that it will be based on relevancy from the Help file but kind of not clear. Want to know some sample.

Javascript sort() function not working correctly

I have an image gallery that automatically loads via a PHP readdir function which populates an array, and then I have a Javascript sort() function which sorts the images in order numerically. In Chrome and Safari, the images display as numbered in the directory. However, in Firefox and Internet Explorer, they display out of order (firefox) and not at all (ie). Here is the code for the php file: <?
Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
function returnimages($dirname=".") {
$pattern="(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.jpeg$)|(\.gif$)";
$files = array();
$curimage=0;
if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
$file = basename($file,".jpg");
echo 'myImg['.$curimage.']="'.$file .'";';
$curimage++;
closedir($handle);
return($files);
echo 'var myImg=new Array();';
returnimages()
?>
and here is the code for the javascript sort:
function sortNumber(a,b)
return a - b;
myImg.sort(sortNumber);
// Tell browser the type of file
myImgEnd = ".jpg";
var i = 0;
// Create function to load image
function loadImg(){
document.imgSrc.src = myImg[i] + myImgEnd;
Any ideas as to why Firefox is behaving this way?

After you check the box to sort on the column, are you making sure to select a sort order for the same column?

DRQ# Payment Wizard Sort Function

Hi,
The sort function in the SAP payment wizard, loses it's settings in Step 6. In Step 3, you can sort the BP name field to sort by alpha, but in Step 6 the sort converts back to numeric, by BP Code. Our client is having problems with this when making their invoice selections in the wizard, as their invoice filing system is alphabetic and they have a large pile to sort through when making payments.
I would have thought the sort option should retain throughout the wizard from Step 3 to Step 6. Additionally it would be nice if in Step 6 there was also the option to sort again if needed.

Hi Janne,
I trust you are well.
Please post the DRQ in the forum ['SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration'|/community [original link is broken];.

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.

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 3.5 compatibility with BI

Our current environment is Windows 2003/SQL Server 2005. We have a existing BW 3.5 system. Now we want to upgrade the existing BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We don't want to install the BI_JAVA usage type this is a ABAP stack only. Now I have some questions in regards to this and if anybody can help me with this I would appreciate it greatly.
Q1. If we upgrade to BI without the BI_JAVA usage type would we be able to use all of the BW 3.5 functionality without having to install JAVA Stack?
Q2. This BW system connects to ECC 5.0 and SRM 5.0. I would like to know do we have to upgrade the Plugins to a specific support pack level in these source system (ECC5.0 and SRM 5.0)?
Q3. What is the minimum patch level for Business Explorer front end tools with version 3.x to work fine with BI 7.0 system?
If you can awnser any of these questions I would appreciate your help immensly and award you points generously as well.
Thank you,
AA

If it's MiniDV and has a FW port, I can almost guarantee it will work. Both FCE and FCP's "compatibility lists" are for the most part incomplete-- I have seen many devices not listed there work fine.

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
--- Steve

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

Sort functionality in Data Grid

Hi Gurus,
I am new to this DataGrid control.I want to establish the sort functionality when clicking on the headercolumns as in matrices.
(ie.When double clicking the header column , sort the data in ascending or descending order of that column) like in system form matrices.
How ever this is not possible when I tried with grid control.
The problem I am facing is that I cannot get the column headers of the grid programmatically.(in duble click event or itempressed event)
Anybody did this one previously? Also how
we can change the column order of the grid using screen painter?
The columns that actually come visible in the grid are actually columns of the linked datatable object.
In the designer ,there is no "swap" button for column re-ordering.
Only one way I know is changing the query associated with datatable.
This is a crucial thing ,since client may ask for re-ordering of columns frequently.
Can anybody help?
Regards,
Deepesh

Hi Deepesh,
1. This functionality is not available with the SDK. Thus it's not possible to change it on the fly. Your only option is to change the query associated with datatable (as you mentioned). You may set up a user preference table, that the user can configure with its preference. That's the best you can do.
2. To swap the columns in screen painter you must use SBO 2005 (it's not available on previous release). What you must do is, click on the one column you want to swap and the other you want to swap and click on the swap button (on the left bottom of the page in the columns tab)

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,

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...
