Canu00B4t run business explorer from APO

Hi,
I can´t run the business explorer from APO (transaction RRMX). I get the error message "Please install Excel as a viewer" (Msg no BRAIN 871). However opening BEx in excel and then opening queries work. Any suggestions how this could be solved? Have checked the add-ins in excel and they are all disabled.
Thanks for any help!

Welcome to SDN
Please install MS Excel again in your laptop/PC. it seems the version you have right now is not compatable with Business Explorer.
Hope this helps
Thanks

  • Error accessing Business Rules from EAS

    Hi,
    I am using EPM System 11 and trying to access Business Rules via Essbase Adminstration Services Console (EAS). When I open up the Business Rules node from Enterprise View, and select Repository View > Rules, a list of all the Business Rules is displayed. However, when I try to click on one to open it in the editor, I received an error message from EAS the reads:
    Business Rules Error. Error creating DBUserGrpObjLinkTable. Cannot continue.
    When I click Get Detail, it just displays Detail: null. This occurs when trying to open any of the Business Rules. In the past I have had no problem creating, editing, and launching business rules from EAS.
    I am still able to successfully launch the Business Rules I have already created and assigned to my Planning application FROM the Planning Web Application, but I am not able to edit them or create any new ones in EAS. Does anyone know what has happened to cause this error? It appears as if something happen to the one of the tables in the relational database that was configured during the installation of the EPM system? I can provide more detail if necessary. Thank you.

    I have restarted the services and that did not solve the problem. This may be a stupid question, but I'm not exactly sure who I would contact at Oracle about this problem. Can someone tell me where I should look for this?
    Also, I have a bit more information from the logs that may be helpful in solving this. Here is an excerpt from the hbrserver.log:
    2009-12-09 03:28:10,656 WARN main com.hyperion.hbr.core.AccessControlManagerServer - HBR repository is not configured. HBR will not be available.
    2009-12-15 10:25:02,656 FATAL http-10080-Processor4 com.hyperion.hbr.core.AccessControlManagerServer - Error creating DBUserGrpObjLinkTable. Cannot continue.
    It appears that the HBR repository is not configured? I am confused because Business Rules were working fine just last week, and I'm not sure what has changed. Also, I can still successfully run Business Rules from Planning. Any ideas on how to fix the repository? Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Run a Business Rule from Custom Javascript

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether it is possible to call a business rule from the custom javascript, ValidateData.jsp. If it is ok, any simple example?
    Thanks

    I'd say try running individual rules from Planning and see if they fail individually.
    If that works, then start by adding one rule in the sequence and try running it.
    Try finding out if the issue is specific to the sequence or if a new sequence with a rule that you know runs from Planning.
    When you say there's nothing in the Application log, somehow seems the rule isn't hitting Essbase at all. The error comes before that.
    Cheers,
    Abhishek

  • The Business-System  from SLD canu00B4t read

    Hello,
    during export from an configuration object folloging exception occure:
    "The Business-System  from SLD can´t read"
    It seams all OK ...
    Thanks in advance,
    Frank

    Did you change the name of the Business System in the past? Then you need to keep the old Business System name in the SLD, as during exporting and importing of configuration objects the history of the objects is checked as well.

  • Impact of PR created in ECC from  APO

    Hi,
    there are 2 systems, ECC1 and ECC2. now , Purchase requisition is created in ECC1 and transferred to ECC2 through idoc messages.
    but the process is changed and  instead of PR created in ECC1 , APO creates the PR and transferred to ECC2.
    Now , my job is to analyse the impact of  PR  created from APO.
    what would be the impact and are there any side eefects of this ?
    Raghu

    Raghu,
    Based on the business requirements stated up until now, it is unclear what business processes will be performed in which systems, and what data must be maintained in each of the 3 systems.
    So, a direct answer to the latest post.
    If you create PRs in APO, and transfer to ECC2, the implication is that all data required for the creation of PRs must first exist in APO.  This means all master data, and enough transactional data to support PR creation, and configuraton to support planning (you haven't stated if you intend to perform planning in APO, but I will assume this is the case).
    If you thereafter treat ECC2 and APO as the primary OLTP-Planning combination, then there are no special implications.  You can establish 2-way CIF between this pair, and, as far as APO is concerned, you can 'pretend' that ECC1 does not exist.  The sole source of Master and Transactional data in APO would then be ECC2.
    If it is necessary to continue to exchage some data between ECC1 and ECC2, I would suggest that you continue to use IDOCs, and do not attempt to connect ECC1 to APO. In addition, my opinion is that you should evaluate, 'is it still necessary to retain 2 ECC systems?' 
    You ask about the impact of creating a PO in ECC1 without the benefit of a PR.  That totally depends on what you intend to do with the PO in ECC1.  Technically, SAP supports the creation of POs directly, without reference to PR.  However, without knowing your entire business cycles (eg, order-to-cash, plan-to-execute, and procure-to-pay) I can't tell you if you will run into problems.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • "404 error" for business explorer

    Hi Expert,
    I installed SAP Business Objects Enterprise 4.0 SP2 for development, test and productive environment and they work fine. Development and Test BOE are installed in a single host instead the productive environment is installed in more hosts, in particular this is the configuration for the productive BOE environment:
    host 1: WAS (Tomcat 6)
    host 2: WAS (Tomcat 6)
    host 3: CMS server 1
    host 4: CMS server 2
    host 5: CMS DB
    After that I installed BOE, I also installed SAP Business Explorer 4.0 in the development, test and productive environment (I installed BE in host 3 and host 4). SAP Business Explorer work fine in development and test system instead is not working in the productive environment. In particular if i go to BI lunch pad (productive environment) and I selected the Business Explorer icon the following error message appear:
    404 Missing Page
    The page you requested is not available on this web server for one of the
    following reasons:
    I checked on Central Management console the status of the Business Explorer servers and they are in status "running".
    I noted that in the development and test system the file explorer.war has been created from the BE installation program in the following folder :
    "D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjectsEnterprise XI 4.0\wdeploy\workdir\tomcat6\application"
    instead in the productive environment the file explorer.war doesn't exist. How can I resolve this critical issue? Must I install some component also in the WAS hosts?
    Thank you for your help.
    Best regards
    gio'

    Looks like you need to do a web tier install on your tomcat server or you could copy the war file over.  How did you deploy your war files when you did your initial install of BOE?  Do you see an explorer folder in your tomcat6\webapps directory?

  • Is it possible to run an application from a user or container login script?

    Is it possible to run an application from a user login script or a container login script?
    A "Force Run" application object works fine if the user's workstation is setup to auto-load "Application Window" or "Application Explorer" but in this case I'd like to run an application when someone does a manual login (ie. they right-click red "N" and choose "Novell Login...")
    Using a User Package's "Scheduled Action Policy" and the Event=Login also does not work when a user logs in manually. This type of Event seems to only apply when the user first logs into the workstation, not at a manual login.
    Thanks,
