Business Object XI R2 and office 2007

Hi,
Does Business Object XI R2 SP3 (installed on unix server) is compatible with Office 2007 ?
I have checked the supported paltform documents and office 2007 is mentioned for Windows only and not mentioned in Linux/Solaries document.
I am trying to export data from a webi report to excel and when I export it in office 2007 it gives a warning "some data may have been deleted " and it export with some format missing. But wnem we export it in office 2003 its working fine

Hi Ravi,
Office 2007 is not officially tested with  Business Object XI R2 SP3 on Linux environment.

  • Business Objects 3.0 and Sharepoint 2007

    We are currently upgrading from XI R2 to BO 3.0 and would like to use Sharepoint 2007.  I see a integration Kit for the XI R2 version but not for 3.0. What are our options, how can we utilize sharepoint 2007 ?

    We upgraded from Crystal Enterprise 10 to 3.0 only to find (even though all the documentation was there and we were encouraged to do so) that the Sharepoint2007 portal was not yet available. Last I heard was 3rd qtr 2008 or 1st qtr 2009 for availability.
    Since we have had many users download CR2008 and create reports that they wanted published this created a political nightmare.
    We have now fallen back to XI R2 just so we could implement the sp2007 portal kit.

  • Internet Exporer 8 and Office 2007 Supported?

    We currently have a client running BOE XI R2, and they are considering deploying Internet Explorer 8 and Office 2007.  They use Web Intelligence as their main reporting environment.
    Does anyone know if IE 8 and Office 2007 are officially supported at any BOE version?  I have been unable to find the Supported Platforms document on the new SAP site.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello Tim,
    What SP/FP are you on?
    In any case, Office 2007 is supported on SP5. IE 8 is not supported. The newest supported version of IE is 7.
    The Support Platforms document is available at the Business Object Article site [here|Articles].

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

  • Having problems with OPA 10 and office 2007 templates

    Hi,
    I have a OPA 10 and office 2007 set up which is having some issues with the macros. Seems to me that the visual basic code is not kicking off really well sometimes. I am trying to map the sequence which leads to the errors and I believe that the issue is around opening an old word doc which has a old template version (.dot). This may be the cause for OPA getting lost when working with word 2007.
    For example, I ask to open a rules doc and the visual basic tells me that OPA couldn't open the doc but word is opening the doc anyway. However none of the toolbar commands work as well as I can 't save the doc etc.
    Have you experienced any issue with OPA 10 and Office 2007? Any special word configuration? Should i go back to office 2003?
    BTW, I have both dotm and dot templates loaded as add-ins in word. The dotm toolbar looks good but the dot toolbar is a bit strange in 2007.
    Cheers,
    Paulo

    Hi Paulo,
    Have a look at the following tips from Davin Fifield about troubleshooting the toolbar.
    Sometimes when using Oracle Policy Modeling, Microsoft Word documents that are part of a Policy Modeling project may appear without the OPA toolbar (in Office 2003) or OPA options on the Add-Ins ribbon (in Office 2007) when opened in Microsoft Word.
    This problem can be caused by various factors.
    Here are the top three troubleshooting steps to try to recover from this situation.
    1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
    2. Try changing the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options, from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Selet General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
    3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.
    Does this resolve your issue?

  • Implementation Business Objects in CAF and developing WDJ application

    Hi Experts,
    I've read some articles about SAP CE CAF from SDN and I'm making some exercises according those guidence. Right now I have a problem and want to get suggestion from you. 
    As you know, from CE 7.1.1, the CAF support importing the Business Object through EJB model. So when develop a WDJ application using caf, we can using these procedures:
    (Implementing business objects in CAF and developing WebDynpro application)
    1) Create business objects or application service.
    2) Generate EJB Implementation class for business objects or app service.
    3) Create a WebDynpro application
    4) Importing the EJB model using the template.
    5) Create the UI for the app.
    My problem is: In the business object or application serivice, if the operation parameter type is integer, after we generate the EJB class, the type will changed to String. After the WDJ UI is created, the application test failed. The integer field could not passed to the BO successfully.
    If all the parameters type are string in the operation, there's no problem.  But when I use Integer or Date, the EJB class will change the type and the WDJ app will failed.
    I've also test the scenario in CE enviroment including 7.3 also failed. So I'm a little confused which step was wrong. I don't know whether you've seen such problem before, if you could give any suggestion, it'll be very appreciated!

    Hi, Winters.
       I got the same program, try to parse into the type which you want in AS operation.

  • Business Object, SAP BW and SAP Enterprise Portal

    Hello all,
    I've a few questions about the possibility for linking Business Object, SAP BW and the SAP Enterprise Portal.
    The Business Package MSS 1.41 give us a functionality to display (in a federated portal) personalized Budget and costs in an Overview Iview (kind of Welcome page).
    Those information are retrieved from SAP BW and I'd like to know if it's possible to retrieve those data (with the same functionality) from Business Object tool.
    Is it possible to have those personalized reports without having a direct link (standard architecture) between SAP BW and the federated portal?
    Thank you in advance fro your answers.

    Hi,
    The procedure to replicate BW users in BO is explained in detail on the blog of Ingo Hilgefort:

  • Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2007 Problem

    I posted this in the CS3 forum originally. They told me to post here too.
    Issue:
    When logged in as a local user (no admin rights) Word 2007 will crash the whole computer when you type a key.
    The reason I am posting on Adobe forums is that this only happens when CS3 is installed as well on the same computer.
    Troubleshooting:
    Both products work fine as a local user account, if only one or the other are installed.
    During login, Acrobat Pro will display a MSI/Installer progress bar for about 30secs. After I updated Acrobat to 8.1.3, that stops, but the Word crashing problem doesn't.
    When starting Office, setup runs everytime. It shows just a progress bar and goes for about 1min.
    On a doc, if I wait about 5min and don't do anything. A MSI install progress bar will run for "MS Office 2007 Pro", this will re-spawn for several mins. until it finally stops. After that, Word IS usable.
    No other problems with CS3.
    Fully updated both CS3 and Office 2007
    This could very well be an Office issue, but it is associated with CS3 also being installed on the same computer.
    Any help would be great!

    Forgot again! Using XP Pro sp2 and sp3.

  • Does Business Objects read SMF and RMF records on a mainframe?

    Post Author: byrsch
    CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
    I need to know if Business Objects reads SMG and RMF mainframe records and if I can do analytical work like I do with SAS with it?

    Hi Ravi,
    Files, DLLs, executables, etc corruption is the most probable suspection in this issue scenario.
    Best would be to uninstall BO again, removing registry entries and then re-install again with the default DB as suggested by Arvind and then later it could be point to SQL Server.
    Please share your further views/thoughts.

    Agree, this looks like an interaction between Acrobat 8 and Microsoft Office. The symptom you used to see (prior to 8.1.3) was probably Acrobat's "self-healing" process trying to fix something in Office, probably related to the PDFMaker feature that is installed into Office. Perhaps you have a somewhat unconventional installation of Office 2007 with custom registry settings?
    Also, you mention that Word "crashes the whole computer" - are you referring to a BSOD or what? Word (and the Acrobat plug-ins for PDFMaker) don't go into any protected mode that can cause a full system crash. Very strange!

  • Pub 6.4 and Office 2007 file extensions.

    Hello all,
    I had an issue pop up recently regarding ALUI 6.5.1, Publisher 6.4, and Office 2007 files.
    Our user base was upgraded to Office 07 several months ago, and we modified our crawlers to handle the new file extensions. We also have a Publisher portlet where users can post various for sale items; kind of a company bulletin board. This portlet uses the News template and sometimes users will attempt to publish a Word or Excel document link to accompany their for sale item. The portlet will publish okay, but when we click on the doc link we get a pop up window that shows the file name with a .ZIP extension and not the correct .DOCX or .XLSX extension. Of course the file does not open either.
    Other than instructing users to save files in the older format/name, is there a way for Publisher 6.4 to support the new file extensions of Office 07? Would this work in Pub 6.5?
    Thanks for any help.

    Any solution to this?
    We are on Publisher 6.5 and are getting the same error.
    I'm assuming this is an issue with the Publisher mime-types (which aren't the same as the general portal mime-types) not being set for the new extensions?
    But it is curious that it is redoing them as .zip files!

  • RoboHelp x5 and Office 2007

    Does anyone know if you are able to operate RoboHELP x5 and Office 2007 without it shutting down with errors.  Currently we have a help system set up and we were updated to Office 2007 late March.  We are now having quite a few difficulties making changes to documents that needed updates.  Usually the documents were loaded as MS Word docs and then during compiling transformed to .html files.  Now with the Office 2007, RoboHELP doesn't want to import any documents because of the fact that X5 doesn't support Office 2007.  Is it possible to import the files as .html files instead to sidestep this issue?   Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I am a new user of RoboHELP with limited people who know how this program works.
    Thanks!

    Not a chance. Sorry but you will have to upgrade.

    The Report Generation Toolkit does probably not support Office 2007 yet. This is because the Office ActiveX interface used to change with each version and the Report Generation Toolkit comes with specific libraries for each of the Office versions it supports. With the wrong office version the Report Generation Toolkit VIs are normally broken and can't run without some more or less involved modifications.

  • Performance Problems Bex 7.0 and Office 2007 Workbooks

    Hi
    we had a performance Problem with Bex 7.0 and Worksbooks in Office 2007.
    The Workbooks are created with Office 2003 and runs with good performance but in Office 2007 the performance is inacceptable.
    E.g. open Workbook with Office 2003   --    30 seconds
           open Workbook with Office 2007   --    15 minutes
    We do everything what we find in SAP Notes, Whitepapers oder SDN Messages.
    For Example:
    - We installed all Excel Patches witch descriped in: Microsoft Excel 2007 &
    SAP Business Explorer Compatibility
    - We set the optimize X: RS_FRONTEND_INIT setting u2018ANA_USE_OPTIMIZE_STG = Xu2019
    - We open worksbooks in Office 2007 with the repair Flag.
    - We used Flag open in XLS format
    But same Workbooks are extrem slow.
    We try to create a new Workbook with Office 2007 and it runs with good performance.
    But there are 500 Workbooks we didn`t wont to create all new.

    Hello Carsten,
    Try to use Workbook compression:
      -  Open the specific workbook in BEx Analyzer
      -  Open Workbook Settings dailog
      -  Check "Use Optimized Storage"
      -  Click on OK Button
      -  Save the workbook
    But also, your front end tools are on a very old version.
    I would like to recommend you to install the latest patch of SAPGUI 7.20 and Business Explore 7.20.
    Front End Version 7.10 will be supported until April 2011.
    But, if you want to continue using 7.10, update to latest patch:
