' Character present in BEx queries and Workbooks

Hi Guys,
I've got a problem with the ' character when executing a query or workbook.
This character only becomes apparent when clicking on a cell (appears in the formula bar in excel) (usually apears in cells which does not have a value).
This character is proving problematic for users referencing the report results in other excel sheets.
Is there any way I can get rid of this?
Thanks,
DeVilliers

Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks

Hi,
Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks.
For instance when you edit,open an 3.x query in 7.0 query designer it is automatically migrated.Would it be same if we open it in 7.1 query designer?Is it possible to migrate queries and workbooks without any fail or deletion or loss?
Thank you.

I will add to the already excellent suggestions made above that the migration from Bex 3.x to Bex 7.0 is VERY laborious. There are no automated tools.
All queries and workbooks must be identified (use this as an opportunity to get rid of unused objects)
Each query must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as needed.
Each Workbook must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as well. The "Automated" conversion tool that SAP provides (it's behind the scenes Visual Basic) presents problems with at least 50% of the workbooks, and so they have to be manually fussed with.
If you've used Visual Basic at all in your Workbooks, you'll have to change 'em all. The On Refresh event no longer exists.
And of course, test... test.. test.. and test.
And don't forget to retrain your users. The User interface is dramatically different.
Good luck ! We're 3 months in to a five month conversion project.

Bex Default template for Queries and Workbooks

Dear All,
We have a default template for all queries and workbooks.But this default template was created using a AP query and saved as a workbook.Now all the users having AR role are not able to execute queries or workbooks.Since this default template has a AP info provider associated with it.Is it possible convert this default workbook to a generic one without any security restrictions.Please provide a solution.

In Bex analyzer, you have option to convert a template into a default template.
Or you can create a copy of the existing template without AP infoproviders and assign it as default template.

Delete the link between the BEx Query and workbook

Hi Experts,
I have a workbook it contains 6 querirs, now i want to delete both.
insteated of delete the first queries in workbook, i deleted directly workbook.
now its not allowing me to delete queries.
i think internally it will maintain a link in some table and there was a programme to delete that link between the queries and workbooks.
Please let me know the programme name which we can delete the links between the queries and workbooks.
Thanks,
Babu

Before even going for changing the table entries.
You can go to query and do "Where used" list if it refers only to the same workbook(which you deleted) then it may be inconsistency.
But the chances are the query is used in workbook or WAD etc and is present in someone else's favorites so that would make the workbook void.

BW BEX Queries and Analysis Authorizations

Hello....
Have an opportunity with BW BEX queries and Analysis Authorization...would like to see if anyone has had the same experience and if so is there a answer....
1) given a query....
2) given a analysis authorization with a info-object that has intervals defined to be both single values and ranged values
the following happens...
after the query is fired the starter screen appears...the info-object in question appears with the defined single values only....if....the window is opened....again only the single values appear...the range values do not appear...once the query is executed the only results given are those for the single values...
also if you re-fire the query and manually enter a valid value for the info-object that falls with-in any of the range values no result is given...even if there is data for it....the reponse given is no data found....
NOW...if the single values, for the given info-object, are removed from the Analysis Authoriization then the range values appear and work....
Is this a problem within in the query...or...is this a "feature" of the query...and thus must be "lived" with...
Terry
PS...this problem currently only happens if the window for the info-object allows for multi-selection....this problem does not occurr when the window only allows for one selection...

Hi,
This is a known problem with analysis authorization and multi selection IO selection criteria.
When you define the analysis authorization with ranges and when you try to enter single values on the selection critera of the query, then the system shows zero data.
You can run the query without entering any selection values for the IO in question only.
I have tried several combinations and still encountering the same issue.

Is there anyway to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting?

Our environment has thousands of old queries and workbooks. We plan to delete any object that has not been used within 13 months, but there's a concern we may someday need a few of the reports that will be deleted.
Is there a way to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting them?
Is there another approach to solving this matter?
Thanks!

Jim
This is really a intersting question as this is a reality as many BW reports are not used/accessed by users but still they have tendancies of sitting on these reports.
I wanted to suggest to carry-out report usabilty analys. This analysis u can carry out by using BW statistics/standerd queries/new queries in technical cubes showing usability data. If u found that a perticalar BW report is not been used for long time, u can discuss the usability of this report with the report user ( as it is a normal practice of owning BW report by user/user group across industry ), if user is no longer uses it Or do not need it any more, it will be better to delete those reports, this will free up some resources and will reduce the junk. ( if user wants these queries ask him to use it or it will better to personalise report in his desktop easing him to see those reports. )
Changing the technical names of the query as suggested by Bhanu will have follwing effects.
1. It will add more reports in repository leading to junk
2. Old queries still be assigned to user roles, so collide with user authorisation.
hope views are clear, others are welcome to add or share their experince in this regard.
kindly assign the points if it helps.

Relationship between Queries and Workbooks

Hi All
I know I should know the answer to this but its been a while since I did my Queries Course.
What is the best way to find out how many Workbooks are connected to a Query.
The reason I am asking is that I have to convert a load of Workbooks from 3.5 to 7.
I have got a list of all queries run in the last year, now I want to make sure I get all associated Workbooks.
Thanks in advance.

John,
Compile a list of all your queries and feed them as a selection to the COMPID field in the RSRREPDIR table.
Take the GENUNIID from the table result and use it as input to the GENUNIID field for the table RSRWORKBOOK. This should give you a list of workbooks associated with your Queries.
Use the above result and feed as input to WORKBOOKID field of table RSRWBINDEXT to get the Workbook Desricptions.
Hope this helps.

Permissions for Planning functions, queries and workbooks

Hello experts,
i have a short question about permissions in SAP BW and BW-IP. How can I restrict the execution of planning functions/sequences and queries or workbooks?
Thanks and regards!

Hello,
If you record an authorization log for your planning sequence you can see what objects are checked and this should help you to create authorizations to restrict access:
To record authorization logs for planning sequences, you have to go to RSECADMIN, activate that trace for the user and run the planning sequence as usual. See detailed steps below:
1. Activate the authorization log
- Go to RSECADMIN transaction
- change to "Analysis" tab and click on "Error logs" button.
- There you can see the "Configure Log Recording". Click on it.
- It will open a new screen, add the user which need to has the authorization log recorded.
- save it.
2. Open a new windows and execute the planning sequence.
- you can use the RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE report in se38 or other way to run it
3. Deactivate the authorization log recording
- following the same steps to activate the log, delete the user which you added in the step 1.
4. Check the authorization log
- Go back to RSECADMIN transaction
- change to "Analysis" tab and click on "Error logs" button.
- select the time interval to find your authorization log (or delete selections to see all)
- click on "display" button
- find your recorded log
- double click on it to open the log
- analyze it.

Des

Assigning Queries and workbooks to user roles

Hi Guys,
I was hoping that someone could explain, how the queries, workbooks and Web Templates can be assigned to roles.
What are the steps involved in creating the roles and assigning the queries.
How are these reports accessed by the users (by URLs or through SAP GUI) If I would want to use the URLs to access them, how do I open the workbooks?
I seem to have a lot of questions, hope to find answers to a few of them.
Thanks,
Doniv

Hi Doniv,
Queries, workbooks and web templates can be assigned to roles during the time that they are being saved. The assignment can also take place in PFCG > role. These kind of roles are usually basic placeholders that are assigned to different users as per requirements. This ensures that the usersa can see only those objects which are on the roles assigned to them.
The workbooks are not accessed by a URL in the internet explorer, they are accessed in the BEx Analyser.
Hope this helps...

Difference between BEx tansport and normal transport

Dear Experts,
Could someone please explain the difference between normal transport truck button and the truck with 'BEx' as label.
Please let me know the context where these will be using
Kind regards
Shanthi

If you press the help button this appears:
Transporting BEx Objects
BEx objects (queries and workbooks) are transported differently in BI to
other objects. When you maintain these objects, you do not get a dialog
box asking you to create a transport request. Instead, an administrator
has to generate requests for these objects in the Data Warehousing
Workbench (function area Transport Connection).
Standard BEx Transport Requests
All BEx objects that have been transported already and have therefore
been assigned to a package, are written to a standard BEx request
whenever they are changed. This request is set by the administrator. All
changes are written to this request regardless of the current user.
When this request is released, the administrator needs to create a new
BEx request immediately. If there is no request stored as a BEx request,
you are not able to process queries or workbooks.
BEx Transport Requests for Single Packages
In some cases, one request is not big enough for all the BEx objects.
This can be the case, for example, if you want to transport objects from
a development system into various different productive systems.
If this happens, you can create BEx request for each package. The BEx
objects are distributed among the different requests according to their
package. The package specifies among other things the transport target
of an object, and this means that you are able to use this process to
put BEx objects that you want to transport to different transport
targets into different requests.
If you do not create a special request for the package of an object, the
object is written to the standard BEx transport request.
Remember to create a new request as soon as one request is released.
Hope it helps.
