Change description of Bex Workbook in 2004s

How do we change description of the workbooks? Change description option from Bex analyzer is not available.
How would one move or copy a query / workbook from a role to another role ( There was an option with 3.5 in Bex browser and Bex Analyzer)
Option of saving a workbook and query to a role from Bex Analyzer > Open screen is not available

  • Change characters in the background after upgrading BEX workbook

    Hi,
    I have just upgrade the Bex workbook from 3.5X to 7.0.  Functionally, it works fine.  However, one thing that irritates the end users is that when one opens the workbook, it immediately shows an Excel-sheet with change symbols, numbers and characters scattering from line 1 to 4 (like TRUE, FALSE, arrow-symbols etc).  Later on a variable screen pops up on top of this background.  The background will disappear only after the variable screen is filled and the result is finally displayed. 
    Does anyone comes across this issue?  Is there any way to get a clean background to start with?
    Thanks.
    Best regards,
    Zabrina

    Hi,
    The problem is due to the fact that we are using too low level of SAPGUI.  After upgrading the GUI level and patches, this together with other frontend problems such as missing role button, variants not showing and so on are dissolved.

  • Display input variables in BEx workbook header

    Hi forum,
    I created a global BEx workbook template and would like to display the input variables (user entries) in the header section. On refresh of the workbook, this section should be updated with the new input variables. I am on BEx 7.0 and already experimented with text elements in the Design Mode of BEx Analyzer. However, you can only select general filter values, not specifically variables.
    On release BI 3.x  the Visual Basic function SAPBEXshowTextElements(selectgroup, ...) was available. You could set selectgroup to "V" (show variables only) and retrieve the variable values.
    However on 7.0 this function does not seem to work any longer.
    Do you know how this can be achieved in BEx Analyzer 7.0?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi,
    1) Keep variable in default values in Filters.if u keep variable in default values user enterd value will be displayed in workbook filters.
    2) Open workbook and go to design mode.
    3) Delete the header text item and also delete the header picture bar.
    4) Write report name in "A1".
    5) At the end of report name (say H1or I1) use this excel formula =Replace(old text,start_num, num_chrs, new_tex).
    With this whenever user changes the variable value will be changed in report header.
    Hope it is useful.
    Thanks,

  • How to change color in BEx Browser?

    Hello Friends,
    How to change color in BEx Browser?
    My browser shows all the report description with pink color. I want to change the color.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Bhavin,
    It seems the patches for BW Add-On are being kept pretty much in sync for 6.20 and 6.40 (i.e they seem to be released at around the same time, even that the patch level numbers are different).
    However, at BW Add-on Patch level 4 on a SAPgui640 machine, we didn't have the "pink font" problem.
    It may be that BW 3.5 Add-On patch 6 will have a similar effect for you - it may be worth trying.
    Here is the link to the BW3.50 patch 6... https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~swdc/012002523100000108232005D/bw350_6-10001615.exe?_ACTION=DL_DIRECT
    The patch 6 referred to above is for the BW3.50 Add-On - the SAPgui patch is typically a different number (the 11 that you mention is the SAPgui patch level).
    Best regards,
    Pat M.

  • Issue opening BEx workbooks after 720 upgrade

    Hi Gurus,
    We use a custom web template to leverage BW [BW-ABAP] security over the Portals [BW-JAVA]. In other words we do not need to create iViews in Portal for each BW Query or BW Workbook.
    Earlier we were using 710 GUI with BI 70 Add-on. Now we are upgrading to 720 GUI [patch 5] with BI 70 Add-on [patch 400].
    Now when I launch BEx workbook via the Portal, it launches Excel with the BI 70 Add-on [under Excel Add-Ins tab] and then it launches the SAP GUI screen with a success message "No authorization to change role abc. Message no. S#423".  The BEx Toolbox connection icon [right besides the yellow question-mark] shows disconnected.
    This happens even when I try to launch the BEx Analyzer directly from Portal.
    Any help or guidance is heartily appreciated and I promise to award points.
    Thanks and regards,
    Pratik

  • 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!

  • By opening of a BEx-Workbook marco would be deaktivate

    Hello,
    I'm working on Netweaver 7.0, since tody morning by the openning of a BEx-workbook, I got a message "macro in this file is not agree in the digital signatory, only a macro virus can be the cause. macro would be deaktivate."
    I can open the work book, but the marco is allways deaktivate. If I turn the secrity degree from medium to low, then I can run the query on this workbook. I get this case since today.
    The workbook, which I created yesterday and saved on my desktop, can be opened without this issue.
    I'm totally confused, can somebody give somme idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Renee,
      Kindly check if this will be applicable to your scenario.
      Since you have changed your query to meet the user's requirements by adding a hierarchy, etc.:
      1) Open your workbook where this query is assigned to.
      2) Once the workbook has been opened, instead of refreshing the query, try to click the "change (global)" option in Bex toolbar. This should lead you to the query which you previously changed.
      3) In the query designer, just do a re-save and execute. The query will be executed on the workbook with its changes.
      4) If the desired results have been obtained in your workbook, re-save your workbook with this new layout.
      5) Close and re-open your workbook and refresh it once again. It should now generate the new changes based on your query.
      Hope this helps..
      Thanks..

  • Messagen asking for save the changes when open a workbook in BW

    Hi
    I create a lot of workbooks in BW system.
    If I run those workbooks it run's without any error.
    If I ask my collegues to run, ii apperars imediatly when the Excel is open, if they want to save the changes.
    If they say no the excel closes.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks
    Dora

    Yes. This prompt is from Excel and not from BEx. It just prompts you to save the workbook locally in your system.
    I think this can be suppressed using Excel options. If you save, then you are saving as an Excel (.xls) spreadsheet - it's not going to change the actual BEx query or workbook. Other related threads : http://goo.gl/bwNsV

  • Create a number of Dynamic Charts based on "Work Centre" in BEx Workbook?

    Hi all,
    We are on BI 7.0
    I am trying to create a number of dynamic charts in a BEx workbook based on the different values of "Work Centre" so that each unique work centre has its own chart.
    All titles and descriptions would have to be dynamic based on the work centre.
    I.e If there are 20 work centres we would need 20 charts. 30 work centres 30 charts etc.
    Also to add a little more complexity we need to only show a chart if a key figure (Demand Hrs) has a value greater than ZERO.
    Would be very grateful and would assign generous points for a solution.
    This needs to be done in a BEx workbook.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve Jones

    Hello,
    The only possible way you can have a work around is with help of VB macros.
    The logic would be simple: Have a VB Script to check the varying work centres from the report. Then for each work centre check for demand hrs greater than zero. Then you can go with a for or while loop to create the graphs as per needed.
    Take help of VB Script expert for this if needed. Also if you want to work around for yourself you can check the record marco functionality of the excel. VB Script Macro is your only way out and as in your case youu2019re using workbook, this satisfies your need.

  • 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.

    Hi
    Which SRM version are you using ? What is your business requirement ? Do you want to change Service Item description value for every line item in the shopping cart OR

    <b>Incase you want to modify the HTML template Text, then it can be done using HTML Template modification.</b>
    Using Transaction SE80, In the Internet Service - BBPSC01, you need to find the relevant HTML Template and make the required chnages to the Description there as per your business requirements.
    All BBPSC* transaction are using the HTML sources of service BBPSC01.
    So you have to modify template SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS_300 from service BBPSC01.

  • Problem in BEx Workbook Printing

    Hi,
    I need to print a BEx workbook. The column headers in the report is months, i.e April, May, June... till March. When I print the workbook the column header is getting truncated.
    Please advise me what needs to be done to print the entire column text. Please suggest me if there are any settings.
    Best Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    Enable the AutoFit property of the design items.
    This Autofit option will be available in the Properties of Design Items dialog.
    If the Autofit is enabled then the text displayed will be fit within the cell.Hence there wont be any truncation issues.
    Before printing adjust the Print Area and check Print Preview

  • How to create hyperlink in BEx workbook?

    All, I have 2 queries in a BEx workbook on 2 different worksheets. Both queries have 0materials in the row. The user wants to be able to click on material XYZ in worksheet 1 and then be directed to the corresponding line (i.e. for that material XYZ) in worksheet 2. Is this possible to do via a hyperlink?
    Cheers!

    Cheers but a simple hyperlink will not do. I need to link to the same material number in a different worksheet. So in worksheet 1 I have for example the following lines
    Mat nr
    123
    333
    444
    555
    in worksheet 2 I have lines
    Mat nr
    904
    768
    123
    333
    444
    555
    If I click on 333 in first sheet I want to jump to the line with material 333 in worksheet 2.

  • Problem in BW system while tranporting a change in a Bex Query

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem in BW system while tranporting a change in a Bex Query. Actually on our BW system our Client team works as well. I have done started doing some change in query in dev. I have created bex transportable request
    I want to transport a change in bex query. I am doing that dev work. usually i create a request in RSA1->tranport connection-> drag a query to a bex transportable request which I have already created. But the problem is my client also want to work on the same query for another change. so he is asking me to release the request or delete the request.. Is there any otherway that I can do the transports without conflicting with Client.
    Regards.
    haaris

    Hi Harris,
    A transport request if is BEx transport request (i.e. a request which is assigned as BEx transport request in transport connection) allows multiple users to work on same query.
    Instead of deleting your request, you could assign it as a BEx transport request in transport workbench and your client can also make changes under the same request without adding him under the request. It will also be better as all the changes made to one query will be onder one request.
    Please let me know if you need any more help.
    Regards,
    Pankaj
