Display Hierarchies in BEX Analyser

Hi Experts,
How to display hierarchies for the Infoobject in BEX. I have created a hierarchy in BW for the infoobject, How to display the same structure in BEX.

I assume you have loaded the Hierarchy. Now, in the Query designer, click on the infoobject and on the right panel, go to Hierarchy tab. Check 'Activate Hierarchy Display' and choose your hierarchy from the selection help.
You can expand your hierarchy to a certain default level viz. 1,2,3 etc based on the level to which you want to display your Nodes.

Hierarchies in BEX

Hi,
i have a problem with displaying hierarchies in BEX. I have created a hierarchy on infoobject (hierarchy is active) and I have added this infoobject in a cube. I have created an report on a cube and I want to display hierarchy in this report.
The hierarchy on infoobject seems to be OK in BW, but in BEX it displayes only unassigned values and the direct values - not a hierarchy.
I have filled in a cube values, which correspondes "NODENAME" in hierarchy on infoobject.
Is it OK?
Thans for help
Radka

Hi,
it seems does not help.
But I have another question, the hierarchy is created using infoobjects as nodes, but I have filled in a cube only the infoobject with hierarchy. It is neccery to fill somewhere the hierarchy nodes, for example in atributtes of infoobject or so.
Thanks for help
Radka
Example :
00000000000000000000 00000001 0HIER_NODE 00000000000000000000000000002000 01 00000000 00000002 00000000

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

How to have more that 50 charecteristics displayed in BEx Analyser

Hi *,

You can keep them under free characterstics and display them in BEx analyzer when there is a need.

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

The length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser

Hi,
The password is 8 characters in the BW system.
When users changing their newly assigned passwords. When logging into the BEx Analyser, and prompted to change the password, a password entry box is displayed, with an entry field longer then 8 characters. Some users are therefore entering passwords longer then 8 characters. This is fine when they first login, but when they try come back to the system, their logon fails.
Can something be done to restrict the length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan
we are having the same problem - did you find a way to resolve this? I did not find any SAP notes referring to the issue.

Binding variables to a button in BEx Analyser

Hi,
I have built a planning application in BEx Analyser but I am having an issue with planning sequences I have attached to a button.
I have attached a planning sequence to a Save button, carried out the steps of choosing planning sequence radio button, the appropriate data provider, attaching the planning sequence etc and then I attached a save to that same button as well. So when I run the application now it tells me the planning sequence ran with no issues and the data was saved. But I get an error message also saying: Parameter VAR_VALUE_LOW(_EXT)_2 is missing for variable ZINGRNG1
The data gets saved but the planning sequence doesnt actually execute despite it saying so. I know it is not an issue with the planning sequence as I have the same planning application built in BEx Web Application Designer.
To explain further I have 2 dropdowns boxes with must be selected before the the data becomes input ready and it as if when I save it doesnt recognise these variables or something.
Can any shed some light on this issue. Need to resolve it if at all possible for a presentation I am doing.
Thanks,
Elle

Date format in BEx Analyser / PreCalc Server

Hi All,
First off, i have read many threads in this forum but none seem to solve our issue. So hopefully somebody will have a fresh view on this.
When i broadcast a workbook from BEx Broadcaster using a Precalc server, the date format displays as mm/dd/yyyy. We want it in dd/mm/yyyy.
1. The BI profile (SU01) has the correct date format.
- When the user runs the query in the portal or through BEx Analyser, the date format is correct.
2. There isn't any issue with the query / workbook as we can broadcast it through a test pre-calc server and it displays in the correct format.
3. Many threads have suggested changing the date format in the control panal of the precalc server. Not only have i done this for the logged in user, i've updated all users on the server through the registry. The precalc service is being run under the Local system user and this was one of the entries which i updated as it was still in US format. We tried restarting the service and also rebooting the server. But no change to the date format display. It is still in US format.
Has anybody any other suggestions for this issue. We want to apply it to all users for all queries if possible. Should be an easy one but nothing has worked.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Georgina

Hi Ravikanth,
Thanks for your reply.
The first option won't work as i'd need it to be in the correct format when broadcast out by email to users in excel format.
I was hoping that this could be resolved without a custom solution, however the second option sounds like it could work but i have not worked with macros before and i'd imagine you'd need to know what you are doing to modify any of the modules behind the workbooks as it could mess them up.
If you have any suggestions or resources that you can point me to, that would be great.
Thanks,
Georgina

Customer names with cyrylic characters are wrongly shown in Bex Analyser

Customer names with Cyrillic characters are wrongly shown in Bex Analyser. The master data is correctly maintained and extracted\loaded by BW for these customer (Master Data object is correct). This might be a Bex Designer issue.
Furthermore, it has nothing to do with the local settings, when copying the name of the customer to Bey Analyzer the name is correctly shown.

Hi,
We are facing the same problem with the turkish characters, Our system is BW 3.10 (3.30 Cont) and ECC 6.0. The turkish characters are displaying correctly at the table level, but not at the RSRT or the Bex level.
The turkish characters are displaying correctly at the table, RSRT and Bex level if we load the same record from the Non-unicode Prod system to the Non-unicode BW Dev system, but if we load from the unicode QA system the same record is not displaying correctly.
Has anybody got a solution for this issue

Text characters displayed as # on Bex analyzer (excel)

Hi all,
I am having issues with Turkish Charaters displayed on the report output on Bex analyser.
The Turkish text characters in the fields like Name 1, Name 2, city are displayed in # format.
This is happening only when the report is executed on Bex analyzer (excel). In BW system I can see the turkish characters properly. There is no # symbol anywhere when i check in cube or master data.
The # sign is not shown when the query is executed on internet explorer(web report). This issue is only with Bex analyzer(excel).
Some sample data is as below.
Correct data in BW cube or master data: ÜCRETLI ÜRETICISI TÜ
The same is displayed when executed the report over web.
But when executed on BEX analyzer(Excel) it shows as: #CRETLI #RETICISI T#
This was not happening last month. I was able to see the turkish characters last month properly on BEX analyzer.
Now we are having this # issue.
Can anyone suggest what could be the problem with? and how we can rectify this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Maddy,
I also think it is a front-end issue.
The texts look fine in RSA1 and in Web Analyzer.
The problem with the codepage variable is that as far as i know it can have only one value.
On my report I have a list of purchase orders with the vendors.
The vendors come form different countries and are maintained by the country's affiliate in their native language.
The user needs to see the texts for all displayed vendors regardless the language and alphabet.
Right now I have probelms with Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian.
But next month the report may contain the vendors from other countries.
Therefore I would have to add all languages to codepage variable.
In fact in my system it doesn't even work for one value.
I also added other languages to windows regional settings but it didn't help.
Do you have any tips on that?
Thanks,
Marek
