Default Query or Workbook on BEx Open

Is there a way for individual users to set a default Query or workbook to execute when they open BEx?

Hi
There is a way to do it using Windows functionality.
right click on the Analyzer icon and add the full path name of the work book (which is saved on the local PC) in the Target text box.
You can also open the saved work book and then run the Analyzer.
I don't think there is a way to do it via the BW server.
Thanks Edan

POWL Default Query

Hello Experts,
We just upgraded to ERP 6.0 EHP6 SP11 and activated business function HCM_ERC_CI_4 in our development system. After doing so, the default query on the Recruiter dashboard is no longer "My Open Requisitions;" it is now "Open Background Checks." I am describing the situation when the Recruiter has never themselves specified a default query using the Personalize feature on the Recruiter dashboard. Therefore, the system would default them to “My Open Requisitions.” This is no longer happening.
How do I make the system go back to using “My Open Requisitions” as the system default?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
John Holland

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for the suggestion. I ran POWL_D01 on a couple of users in our development system. It did cause their default query to now be "My Open Requisitions." This is perfect for someone who has not specified a default query themselves. However, it had two affects that are not desired. I had my default query set to “Open Team Requisitions” along with a custom view I defined. After running POWL_D01 for me, it removed my selection for “Open Team Requisitions” so that I now do not have a default query specified under Personalize. It also removed the custom view I created and had set as my default.
So the two problems are:
1. Elections that Recruiters make under Preferences as their default query are deleted.
2. Custom views that Recruiters create are deleted.
The behavior that is desired is that any one who has specified a default query would not have that election changed. Also, custom views would not be deleted. Only Recruiters who have NOT specified a default query would have their default reset to "My Open Requisitions."
How do we accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
John

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.

1. Bex: I have created new workbook and saved it in Role X
2. in pfcg -> Role X => I see this role and can start workbook from there

The test has been conducted using SAPGUI720 with BEx35_Patch1 and Windows7/Office2010_32bit.

How to open a workbook in BEx 700

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to open a workbook in BEx, just knowing its ID and name?
Workbook is not saved in a role, psooibly in favourites of a user. In 3.5 using FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL
was a way to achieve this.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi again,
First of all thanks for answers.
Please let ne give a short explanetion of my issue:
i'm BW Admin, we are currently "moving" from 3.5 to 7.0. My problem is, that I'm missing al ot of ueseful tools, provided in 3.5.,
not longer available in 7.0, as you can see form my threads in the past. In all of the long years of working in IT, I never expeienced such a step back and a lack od conbienence intrducing a new release of any software.
However, one of my users is spending his holidays and a collegue just wants to run a workbook obviously saved
in his favourites. And I'm still searching for a possibilty for achieving this in a easy way, without changing settings in
user administration (copying favourites copying ,even etire user....).
Thanks and Regards
Joe

HELP! How to make RRI from BEX query into Workbook with one report???

How to make RRI from query into Workbook???

Hi Alex,
A workbook is a set format of queries, so when you try to jump to another query , you will definitely open another session and hence another excel file. This is the same for web templates also though you have an option of opening the new result in the same window.
You would have to use some macros and open the query on the same page. A RRI is a query jump and not a drill down . A drill down would be getting more of the dimensions into the query.

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 !!

How to add more than 1 query in workbook

Hi All,
How do we add More than 1 query in workbook, Can any one provide me steps.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
If you are using BI7 Bex analyazer, please check whether the following explanation helps you:
"Steps of creating workbook and to insert more than one query in a workbook.
When you run a query and it opens in Bex Analyzer you can click the save button and pick "Save as Workbook".
Once you save it as a workbook Click on the "Design Mode" button in the Bex toolbar (looks like an A).
Click in the sheet where you want the new query to go, click the "Analysis Grid" button. It will add the analysis grid to your new sheet.
Right click on the Analysis grid and go to properties.
Click on button to change data provider and select the query you want to attach.
Exit design mode and you should be all set. "
Thanks & Regards,

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.

Insert Query in workbook

Hi
Can anyone of you please give me some information or any links explaning step by step procedure on:
1. How to copy a query
2. How to insert query in Workbook
Many Thanks

Hello,
1. How to copy a query
Open the Query Designer and choose edit of the query then choose "Save as". This will copy your query. You can also use transaction RSZC to copy queries between different InfoProviders if possible
2. How to insert query in Workbook
Just open the workbook, go to the place you want and click on the option Tools->Insert query (with BW 3.x); With BI 7, just open your workbook, choose a place you want to insert the query and click on the table button, then you have to assign that table to a dataprovider (a query)

Query and Workbook BI 7.0

Hi
I am in BI 7.0
1)I created a query X and saved it as workbook. When I edit the changes in query, I don't see the changes reflected in workbook.I thought if I change the query or workbook, the changes should take place.
2) I have to create 12 queries of same structure but contains different hardcoded costcenters.Can somebody advice me what is the best method to accomplish the above requirement.Should I create query or query views and what major differences did you guys observe between Query and Query View from your expereince and practices...

Hi Jacky,
If you change the query this way you wont have to re-insert the query each time you make changes.
1. Open the workbook.
2. Select the query by clicking on it. Then use the Edit query option from the toolbar.
3. Make changes to the query.
4. Execute the query by clicking the Green check mark.
5. After making sure that the changes have been applied, save the workbook.
Hope this helps...
