BW add on. Business Explorer on Mac platform

Hi all,
Are all the BW add ons, including Business Explorer, available for the Mac platform? ie: Mac OS X + Excel for Mac.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards

Does not look like it will be supported for MAC. See the attached link for Product Availability Matrix for BI Suite.

How do I add my business information to the bottom of my email

how do I add my business information to the bottom of my email. I have a Macbook Pro and Verizon email.

If you're using a webmail interface, check with their documentation or their support personnel.
If you're using the Mac's Mail app, look in Preferences / Signatures.

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...

Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow. I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day. There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
here are some of the things I'd love to see:
- support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
- an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
- industry compliant tagging
- robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
- robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
- global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
- integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
- integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
- an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out. Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
- integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac. I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
So, yeah, somebody get on this.

This ANE does not support Desktop(Mac) platform

I'm getting the following error when I try to add an ANE to my mobile project.
This ANE does not support Desktop(Mac) platform
I'm using Flash Builder 4.7.(Air 3.7) The iOS SDK path has been set. I've tried to just ignore the error and just apply settings but this causes and error. I'm having the problem with all ANE files. The Target is showing up as Google and iOS so I'm not sure why it thinks I'm trying to run on the desktop.

Created a new mobile project and still getting the same problem. I think it's a Flash Builder 4.7 issue.

Where can I download internet explorer for Mac?...

thank you.

Microsoft never developed Internet Explorer 6 for the Mac platform. The latest version I believe was 5.2.
So in other words, you need a Windows based computer to view that site or AOL 9.
-Ryan
Edit: Since you're using Panther and IE was still bundled with the Panther install discs (I'm almost positive), pop in the Panther install disc and see if you can find it on there through the use of Pacifist, if necessary.
Edit #2: From Wikipedia (mirror to download).

I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

There is no Internet Explorer for the Mac, only for Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Is there internet explorer for mac?

Is there Internet Explorer for mac?

If the developers of the site insisted on using Microsoft-proprietary technology such that the site requires Internet Explorer, then your only solution will be to run Windows on your Mac, either via Boot Camp or one of the virtualization solutions (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox) so you can run the Windows version of IE. There is no IE for Mac any more, hasn't been for years, and almost certainly is not coming back.
I run Windows on my system and it works fine; no "pollution" has occurred. In circumstances like this, it's often the only, or at least optimal, solution.
company who makes the program now has a iPad APP. Why put the money into an app but not have it available on safari.
You'd have to ask that company that question. It seems odd to me as well, but they obviously have a business reason for their decision.

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.

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 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.
