Calling Bex Workbooks from the Web Dynpro

Hi All,
I'm calling Bex Workbooks from my dynpro using the following code:
create reentrance ticket

concatenate l_workbookid `.sap` into l_filename.

    i_mime_type     = `application/octet-stream`
    i_in_new_window = abap_false
    i_inplace       = abap_true ).
Most of the time it's working fine - but some user experience a "Host Unknown" failure ?? - I suspect than it has something to do with contacting Excel, but I can't figure out exactly what goes wrong. The users have all needed componets of course, and they can run Workbooks from SAP GUI without getting this error.
Thanx Ahead.

Look at below link: it might help you.

How to call BEx workbooks from EP?

Hi!
How to call BEx workbooks from EP (in new window)?
P.S. For creation iView for workbooks I use "Role Upload" in Portal (System Administrator -> Transport -> Role Upload). Automatically created iView (for workbooks), unfortunately, do not work (bad argument in RRMXP transaction).

Maxim
The role migration does not do this properly so you will have to do this manually.
Create a transaction iview using transaction RRMX. Then add the following to the Application Parameter field
WBID=XXXXXXXXXXX (the workbook ID).
Then change the AutoStart Parameter to True.
Viola!

Call BEX-Query from VBA with BEX-automatic login?

Hi,
I'm trying to call a query from VBA. I have two problems/questions:
1. Automatic login?
I want to do an automatic login. I found this peace of code here, but I get an error:
Public Function LogonToYourBW()
' create Logon & RFC-Handle
logonToBW = False clear connect Flag the flag can be used to find out if connected or not
    'load SAP functionality by opening BEX file ( use your installation path)
        Workbooks.Open (c:\sappc\bw\sapbex.xla)
    With Run("sapbex.xla!sapbexGetConnection") call the connection
       ' Set the params for Auto logon
       .client = YOUR CLIENT NO
       .user = YOUR BW USER
       .Password = YOUR BW PWD I recommend to create a dummy reporting user for this task
       .Language = YOUR LANGUAGE YOU LIKE TO USE FOR QUERY DISPLAY ( i.E. EN)
       .SystemNumber = YOUR SYSTEM NO
       .ApplicationServer = YOUR SERVER Name OR IP-ADDRESS
       .UseSAPLOgonIni = FALSE 'important for automatic connection
       .logon 0, True This will provide a dialog to appear
        If .IsConnected <> 1 Then
            .logon 0, False
            If .IsConnected <> 1 Then Exit Function
        Else
            Set g_oFunction = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
            Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
        End If
    End With
    Run "sapbex.xla!sapbexinitConnection" this will enable the connection you just created
    logonToBW = True
End Function
The error is by this row:
Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
Object is needed! How is the g_oConnection-object defined?
2. How can I pass values for the parameters from VBA?
If I open the query usually from SAP-BEX-Toolbar, after selecting the query, I get a parameter mask, where I must put in a value. How can I this automatize from VBA? Has anybody a short samplecode for that?
Thank you for your help

Peter and others:
What I really want to do is write a stand-alone application that I can run from windows scheduler that queries our BW for sales data for certain items (in a tabular form) and pulls that data into a VB recordset, or a .NET dataset so that I can insert the rows into another database (SQL Server, or Access) I already know how to do all the data movement to/from datasets and databases I just cannot figure out how to programmatically grab this sales data from BW our company has workbooks already set up that aggregate WW sales information by region (IE, there is a separate workbook for each region of the world) I can manually go into the Excel interface, tell it which items to pull the sales info for, and it dumps the data into the worksheet (organized by customer, and then by cat #)
So, what Id like to do is write an app that will pull data every week or so from the BW (from each regions sales invoice detail workbook), and insert it into another database that we use for reporting other, non-sales, data.
Thoughts on this ? Is there another, non-BEx method that is better ?
thanks !!

Javascript Error while executing BEx querry from browser

Hi Folks
We have been getting a number of Javascript errors while executing BEx querries from the browser.
The various errors that we have been getting are:
'SAPBWItemCatalog' is undefined
'SAPBWJSgdo' is null or not an object
'SAPBWShortCutCatalog' is undefined
We have already looked at SAP Note 783496 and validated the solution.
Is there some specific settings that needs to be maintained for this?

Hi Sandip,
Just spent 2 hours chasing this one so I know how frustrating it is.
Solution:-
Check mime service in SICF - dafault_host/sap/bw/mime - if it's greyed out activate it.

How to copy BEx Workbooks from one user's favourites to another user's

Is there a way to copy BEx Workbooks (Excel Analyzer) from one user's 'Favourites' to another user's Favourites?
A user is away on vacation and we need to get at a couple of workbooks that are stored only in that user's Favourites. We do not have access to that user's user id and password.
Were on BW version 3.5.

Thanks Ravi.
We are aware that if a workbook is assigned to a Role then other users can access the workbook.
In order to assign the workbook to a Role, we need to be able to see it in the first place.
The workbook is currently saved only in a specific user's Favourites, and that user is away on vacation. We can not assign it to a Role unless we sign on as that user. We do not have the user's logonid and password.
So we are still interested in finding out how to copy from that user's Favourites, perhaps via a program or via the Administrator Workbench.

Call Bex Workbook with parameters via ABAP

Dear all,
I have a problem with Excel workbook run from the functional module and transfer parameters to it.
For this purposes I have used FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL. I use SAP BW 2004s version.
In fact this FM opens the Excel workbook but these parameters (that were defined in the table I_T_VAR) are not available in Excel. The window with variables pops up anyway and fields in this window are empty.
What I would like to do finally is to run this Excel workbook, send some parameters to avoid of appearing this window. It was possible to do in Sap BW 3.5 (according to my experience). Probably it is possible to do in some other way in 2004s? If you know please give me a clue.
One more question: I try to use the function SAPBEXsetVariable() in BeX that I used to use in 3.5. In 2004s it is not available. Does somebody know what can be used instead of it in 2004s?
Thanks in advance.

How about putting values of variables into filter area of WB?

Open Bex workbook from BPS web interface,How hard it could be?

Hi all,
    I want to add a link or function-button in my BPS web interface,hope it could open a query(excel analyser),I tried 2 methods as follow:
   1. MIME , It can only open a static excel file, not a analyser query. I gave up this method.
   2. I use the program RRMX_START_EXCEL and add a plan function which is a EXIT in BPS0,in my EXIT function I used some code in RRMX_START_EXCEL,I test it in BPS0 ,it works ,it can open a analyser excel query.But when I put this plan function(including a parameter group ) in BPS_WB ,when I click the function-button in web interface, it crashed,says:
Error when processing your request
What has happened?
The URL http://bw1.:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zwebcaxa001_998/page1.htm was not called due to an error.
The termination type was: TH_RES_FREE
and some other Error infomation,
Is it possible to realize my requirement? or Web interface and analyzer are just 2 total differrent things ,it is not possible to realize this?
thanks all

Hi Denny,
Have a look at www.javascript.internet.com and do a search for "whatfile".....
This should give you the javascript code whereyou can enter a file name (say an excel file name) and click a button to navigate to it.
Although I have not tried exactly what you have asked, I have successfully used parts of this code to open specified files (excel files) on our local directory from a BPS planning web page.
Obviously you will need to adapt the code to your specific evironment/situation...
Good luck.

Call Workbook from another Workbook

Hello,
I want to call a Workbook from another Workbook just like calling a Query via Report-Report-Interface with restrictions from the selected line.
Does anybody know, if this works in Excel?
Thank you for your answers!
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
San's response will open the workbook. If you want to also refresh the queries in the workbook, you have the option of setting workbook properties (see the Interaction tab in the BEx Workbook properties dialog) to refresh all queries when the workbook opens; or, use
Run "sapbex.xla!SAPBEXrefresh", True
But, you also mentioned restrictions (filters?) based on the line selected. You can do this using
ReturnValue = Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", myFilter, "", myRange)
I would suggest an entirely different approach, however. I would suggest that you actually do use RRI; and, if you want to have the RRI query open a particular workbook (instead of in a blank workbook), you set the local properties to "Use permanent template" ... and define the workbook you want the RRI query to embed in as the "permanent template". Then, after the RRI query refreshes and embeds, change the embed option back to whatever the user's default was before.
Here is example code to achieve this:
Sub jump2KPIODS()
Dim myCell As Range, resultRng As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet, myRange As Range
    Set myCell = ActiveCell
    Set ws = ActiveSheet
    If Not BExIsLoaded Then Exit Sub
    'ensure that user selected a cell within the query results table!
    On Error Resume Next
    Set resultRng = Range(ws.CodeName & "_results")
    If resultRng Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Unable to locate query results on " & ws.Name & ".", vbCritical, _
            "Unable to jump to KPI ODS query."
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Set myRange = Application.Intersect(myCell, resultRng)
    If myRange Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Please select a cell in the query results table.", vbCritical, _
            "Unable to jump to KPI ODS query."
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'set New Workbook on embed ... is based on Permanent Template
    Run "sapbex.xla!templatePermanent"
    'define the KPI ODS jump workbook as the Permanent Template
    wbID = Documentation.Range("M5")
    retVal = Run("sapbex.xla!rfcSetTemplate", wbID, "")
    'rfcSetTemplate function returns a Boolean
    If Not retVal Then
        MsgBox "Unable to set workbook for receiver query.", vbCritical, _
            "Unable to jump to KPI ODS query."
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'check that jump is valid
     retVal = Run("sapbex.xla!SAPBEXcheckContext", "BS01", myCell)
    If retVal <> 0 Then
        MsgBox "Please refresh query before attempting jump to details.", vbCritical, _
            "Unable to jump to KPI ODS query."
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'make the initial jump via RRI to QURY0001
    Run "SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXjump", "r", "QURY0001", myCell
    'set New Workbook on embed ... is selected from list
    Run "sapbex.xla!templateChoose"
End Sub
NOTE: the RRI jump query will embed on top of the LAST query embedded in the "target" workbook. So, if there is more than one query in the "target" workbook, be sure that the jump query is the LAST one embedded.

BEx workbook does not open from portal when excel is already opened

Hi all,
When I go to the portal and open a BEx workbook from there while excel is already open, then the workbook does not open.
When I close excel and then open the BEx workbook it all works fine.
I do not get any error: just nothing happens.
Any idea how to solve this?
Versions:
BI 3.5
Excel 2003
ADDITIONAL INFO
I found this only happens when excel is open with a cell in edit mode. Whenc I then open BEx from the portal I get the error 'please install suitable version'.
Let my know if you have any advice.

Calling Javascript from Flex through FAB

What's the standard way of calling JavaScript functions from
Flex through the FA Bridge?
i.e. is there a new way other than navigateToURL or
ExternalInterface.call()
Most of the examples I've seen are scripting Flex from
JavaScript, not the other way around.
Thanks.

Hello,
You need to register the JavaScript function as a callback to
a Flex action. You can do this from javascript in a function that
gets called when the flash movie has finished loading. Then, when
the Flex event is triggered it will execute the JavaScript
function.
Hope this helps,
Cristian

Executing BW Workbooks from EP as background process

Hi all!
I need to execute BEX workbooks from Enterprise Portal with automatically predefined values of variables. Iu2019d like to do this in two ways: normal (ordinary way) and as background process (result: xls. file). Can you help me?

Hi Alzatula,
You can do this in information broadcasting.
You can configur broadcast settings for workbooks.
The prerequisite is you need a precalculation server.
Check on sdn, how to register a precalculation server.
You can execute it in foreground or you can schedule it in background.
Check this link, it may help you to set up the broadcast setting.

Iview in portal PA to open BEx workbook in a different server

Hello gurus!
   It is my first post in this forum, so I hope I can be clear enough. I am facing a client request for which I have not found any documentation of how it could be possible. I will explain more or less the requirements. I have been searching through the forums and I could not find anything.
   We have 2 production servers PA and PB. The portal is working over the PA. Is it possible to create an Iview in the PA portal to link somehow and get a BEx workbook from the PB BW server opened? Do you know of any document or guide on how to do it?
   Thank you very much in advanced,
   Victor

Hi Lawrence,
   Using this link I created the iview. Then in collaboration with the basis we configured the system landscape correctly and now it works perfectly
