Save new workbook in menue role with VBA / ABAP

Hello,
does anybody know of a way to save a workbook which is not stored in SAP BW by then in a menue role folder through VBA or ABAP automatically?
I know that there is the SAPBEXsaveWorkbook function in VBA but that only works if the workbook already has an ID in BW. Maybe there is some workaround to assign name and ID beforehand? Where does the BEx get the ID if the workbook already has one? Is it stored in a temporary mapping table or something? I found that there are NO very hidden sheets as long as there are no queries embedded in the workbook, and I want to save a workbook WITHOUT queries.
Also, I know that there is the saveDialogWorkbook function, but as stated above the saving process should be automatically, i.e. a function like SAPBEXsaveWorkbook(name As String, role As String, node-id As String). By the way, where would I get the node-id for the nodes in the menue role?
Thank you for ANY hints!

Hi Peter,
thanks for your update! Saving in the "root folder" of a role might already be sufficient if we don't figure out how to save in folders.
I've done some research, too, and the strange thing is that the number at the end is obviously not the folder ID. When you choose "Open -> Workbooks", then copy a workbook entry using Ctrl+C and paste it in an editor, you get more information than what is displayed in the dialog even with technical names turned on. The pasted entry includes the role name and the number you referred to. And the thing is that even two workbooks in the same folder have different numbers! When you save a workbook using 0000000000 and then look at the number assigned in the way described above, it also has an ID different from 0000000000. It seems that every workbook has its own number. So to me it's still a mistery where the folder is specified.

Jörg

BI upgrade: abap menu role, url format conversion ?

hi all,
I'm upgrading from BW3.5 to BI7.0.
In BW3.5 abap role I am using menus wich include BW3.5 queries. URL format for query is like <bsp_protcl>://<bsp_server>/sap/bw/BEx?...
The system gets upgraded in BI 7.0. Abap menu role still have the URL format for the query (like above). I would like to have the new BI format wich is like <prt_protcl>://<prt_server>/<bi_launcher>?...
Is there a way to make URL format mass conversion ?
There are thousand of queries in abap menu roles, I do not imagine this has to be changed manually ...?????
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Jean

You could write a short SE38 program against the AGR_BUFFI table on the URL field:
Replace <bsp_protcl> with <prt_protcl>
Replace <bsp_server> with <prt_server>
Replace sap/bw/BEx with <bi_launcher>
Replace VARIABLES_CLEAR with CLEAR_VARIABLES
Replace DATA_PROVIDER_ID with initial_state=VIEW&initial_state-view
Keep in mind that you would not want to automatically convert entries that reference a 3.5 Web Template, or a table API.

Assign queries to roles

Hi,
I want to be able to assign queries to role. For this purpose I went into PFCG and created two folders. I have assigned the queries to the two folders ( technical names). However they are not showing up in the roles in BEx.
Can someone tell me Step-by-Step how this is to be done.
Any help is deeply appreciated and will be rewarded with points.
Thanks

I am on BW 3.5. We have done the following steps.
1) Created a Role in BW using PFCG.
2) Created two folders under the Menu option
3) Assigned BEx queries to the folders.
I have a question here:
When assigning queries to the folders, what options do I choose. What Technical name do I give.
i think the problem lies there as I am not able to execute the queries from within PFCG.
Please let me know. Any help appreciated and will be rewarded with points.
Thanks

Publishing Queries to Roles

Hello Gurus,
I would like your take on the practice of publishing BW queries to roles? For an example there are 10 sets of queries and these 10 are published into a role for each company that exists. So in essence if there were 20 company codes we will have 20 roles containing 10 queries hardcoded with a company code. I spoke to our BW developer to get an idea as to why this is being done instead of restricting access through S_RS_COMP. Response was that this was done due to performance reasons (something to do with the queries linking directly to the infoprovider containing the information rather than going through all of the infoproviders). So, Rather than leaving the query open and the user entering the parameter themselves it was decided that the queries were to be hardcoded to cut down the time it takes for systems to display the results.
Anyone experience this issue before? My goal is to setup a derived role where the child roles are restricted by S_RS_AUTH for the company codes and query access through S_RS_COMP instead of being published to a single role. Before I do this I would like to figure out a way to move away from this practice without affect performance for end users.
By the way our users access these queries through the Bex Analyzer.
Thanks,
Wes

Wes,
        Using derived roles in BW or S_RS_AUTH may not be the best design as field for S_RS_AUTH does not appear as org level. So you are not really going to have any advantage by going with derived role concept in terms of maintainence effort.
        With 10 queries - 20 Company Codes - you will not need 20 roles because of Company Code, just update the queries with appropriate authorization variable for company code and restrict users on company code. Just 20 company codes should not cause any performance issues
        Also with hardcoding the queries for each single company code - how are you resolving the scenario when user has access to more than one company code/ or global access.
Regards

Portfolio menu role issue.

Dear Gurus,
I am new to this FPN area.
We are working on a Federated Portal Network(FPN). We are having an SAP Enterprise Portal(company wide) and SAP BI Portal(content). The issue is that when ever we are trying to run the report under the Portfolio Menu role in BI Portal it is running without any error. When we are running the same report under the Portfolio Menu role under SAP EP we are getting the error saying the requested page not found. Please suggest a solution to this.

BI portal and SAP EP both are different is it?
Have you published the report in SAP EP properly and added to the role which is present in the SAP EP.
When publishing report, you have make as template=<report technical name> at last.
if any mistakes in the steps when you publish the report. it would give the error when you try to execute the report.
Please check with your EP administrator.
Hope this would help you.

Link between queries and roles

Hello,
Could someone tell me if there is a way to have an overview on the link between roles and queries?
For example a table which give us a role and the liste of queries which are linked to this role.
Thanks in advance.
Hicham

Hi,
I also had same query :
mapping between the query/report and the role with technical names - BI Sec
Its a bit tricky.
Actually there are no direct linkage between queries and roles. However, you can look up S_RS_COMP in the roles that will help you identify which all queries the role gives access to.

Zaheer

How to remove transaction that was added under Menu - Role Menu

We have roles that we need to remove some transactions.
These transactions were added under Menu - Role Menu and expanded for ex: Logistics and Picked Miro transaction.
When I go to PFCD and check under s_tcode I cannot remove Miro transactions since it's grayed out.
The only way to remove this is to go back to the Menu and do a find on miro and work through the menu until I get to Miro transaction and then delete it.
Is there another way to accomplish this.
Thanks
Joe

This is the intended way a role built from a menu works. What might be the use of an authorization without any corresponding transaction to start it? It is only a risk...
Unless of course you know better or design differently and don't make the effort to adjust SU24, then you can insert manually or cause "changed" authorizations, but PFCG will not look at it from a "your own fault" view and not adjust it or protect it against illogical changes.
To use the discipline of the one approach but keep the flexibility of manual authorizations is not possible for S_TCODE, S_RFC and S_SERVICE objects (the entry points).
Cheers,
Julius

Menu Role and Security

How do you enable menu roles and enforce security in forms?
For example in an complex application if we want to have a control of access of menus based on user login
I know it can be done thru the front-end itself by using an if then condition.
but can it be integrated with the database user logins itself
kindly reply
Thanx in advance

Hi,
first RUN frm60sec.sql under system/manager
create different roles
GRANT roles to users
Grant select access to the view created by frm60sec as follows:
SQL > Grant select on frm50_enabled_roles to public;
Note it is NOT frm60_enabled_roles.
To verify that your roles and grants are correct, log on as a user and run the following:
SQL>Select * from frm50_enabled_roles;
You should be able to see the users roles.
then come to MMB file contibue assiging the roles in each menu Item. U ll see get the result.
regards

Menu Role Security

I have a menu with role security enabled. If I grant one of
these roles to a pre-existing user, everything works fine.
However, if I grant it to a brand new user I get "FRM-10256 User
is not authorized to Run Form Builder Menu". (Note that all of
the forms, menus etc are held in the file system).
I have definitely granted the right role. What is going on
here?
Thanks

Menu Role Privelages

How to use the Menu Role Privelages in the Menu using the script found in the \TOOLS\DBTAB60\FORMS60\FRM50_BLD.SQL?
So far I've created a required Roles and Im not able to assign them to the Menus.

Menu Security only controls the menus that are shown it has no effect on what data is shown, that needs database label security or your own views to achieve

Menu roles details

Dear All, could you please let me know the procedure to get all the menu roles information presented in SAP BI system. Thanks. Regards, Prasad.

You can use RSA1 and business content available roles.
