Error executing BPC for Excel

Hi BPC Friends
Until Yesterday I have executed without problem BPC Administration and BPC for excel.
Yesterday I have execute the package to load the data for a dimension (masterdata).
Now using my account I can open BPC Administration but If I try to execute BPC for excel, when I select an application the system give me this message:
object variable or with block variable not set
but if I execute the BPC for excel with another account It works.
Could you please help me?
thanks
regards
Michele Medaglia

thanks.
I have done the process but it doesn't work.
You said me:
if you imported a secure dimension then you have to process the security to have the right profiles for each user and member access profile. "
How Can I do this activity?
Why with another account I don't have this problem?
thanks
regards

Waiting error with BPC for Excel on Citrix

Good day,
We are currently running SAP BPC 5.1 SP 7 (release 5.0.508.03)
On Production and Staging , users running BPC client on our Citrix environment are experiencing a "WAITING" message when submitting on input schedules on BPC Excel after working or leaving the input schedule idle for more than +/- 10 minutes.
We currently only experience the problem on BPC clients running on Citrix. The BPC clients running via the LAN is not experiencing this problem and we cannot replicate the problem on the LAN
We asked our Network team to investigate they found that there was a network reset connection (RST, ACK) from the BPC Client on Citrix to the Application Server after 1 minute and 5 seconds of refreshing the input schedule.
Steps for Reconstruction
1.User running BPC for excel client on our Citrix environment.
2.logs onto BPC for Excel.
3.Opens and refresh's an input schedule in BPC for Excel.
4.Works on or leaves the input schedule idle for 10-15 minutes.
5.Submits on the input schedule after 10-15 minutes
6.Receives a "WAITING" message in the top left hand corner for the excel for BPC screen.
7."WAITING" message runs indefinitely.
Notes:
1.We can reproduce this on our Citrix Staging environment and currently experience this problem on our Citrix Staging and Production environment. The problem cannot be reproduced when a BPC client connects via the LAN for Staging and Production.
2.Citrix session remains active and connected during the above steps.
3.The only way the "WAITING" message is stopped is if the users selects refresh or submit on the input schedule after a few minutes, the refresh then runs successfully, but the Submit does not go through successfully.
4. We have asked or Citrix team to investigate and they cannot find anything that could be causing the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter Bellis

ok.
In this case it seems you have a problem with antivirus or forewall into Citrix server which is blocking the communication with application server.
I expect to be more like antivirus which is blocking actually the activity of add ins from excel whoich measn the BPC client.
So actually your problem has nothing to do with Cittrix is just a pure problem with installation of client into that machine (in your case citrix server).
So I suggest to disable any antivirus or firewall into that citrix server for test purpose and afte that you have to make sure that you don't have any restrictions on port 80 if this is used by BPC.

How to lookup application set status in BPC for Excel

Hello,
we have created some packages diabling the appset status when running.
These packages update dimension data and/or fact data.
Other users will receive an error when sending data to the application when the
packages are running.
Ist there a change to lookup the appset status in BPC for excel?
May be continuously with a macro or just before sending data?
I didn't find a bpc function for this task.
Help appreciated. Thanks
Jochen Kowalski

Hi Jochen,
I don't believe there is any way to do this with built-in BPC functionality.
Assuming you're on BPC for Microsoft, in the appset's DB, you can query as follows:
select [value]
from tblDefaults
where [type] = 'system' and keyid = 'availableflag'
-- value of 1 = available
-- value of 0 = not available
I know this works for system availability when it's controlled on / off, manually from the admin consol. I believe it also works when the system is taken offline by a data manager package, but you'd need to check if you plan to implement this.

BPC for excel

We using BPC 5.1 SP1 and SQL Server 2000, excel 2003
We got one user gettinge the following error message "Object Variable or With block varable not set" and "Information missmatch between App info and Analysis server. Use the login screen to try to reconnecting to the Web server" when trying to log
in to BPC for Excel.
BPC for Word is working fine.
We have tried to reinstall BPC and Excel but the problem remains.

Do you receive the messages when you log into a specific application? Or with all applications?
The latter message seems to indicate that Analysis Services and the database are out of sync. Process each of the the applications through the Admin Console.
G'luck,
Garvi

BPC for excel Add-in Conflict

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if there any known excel add-ins that conflict with BPC for Excel (v7) and how the conflicts manifest themselves.
I am currently specifically interested in conflicts with SAP BW BEx Analyser but would be interested in any others also.
Would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.
Many thanks

Usually, Crashing means excel will show crashing error message and restart it.
Excel will just return excel error message. NOT BPC or 3rd Party ADD_IN error message because it happened at the EXCEL while it is processing request from BPC addin and other 3rd partty Addin. (Of course BEX is SAP product. that's why BPC NW support BEX report in 7.5 but still it is not fully integrated with MS.)
Sometimes it happens when retriving data from BPC or sending data. As you know those are critical functionality of BPC.
Again, it depends on the addin but based on my experience, Hyperion Addin and BEX addin had a problem when it runs together with BPC addin. some simple addin might not have any issue but still recommendation is not using 3rd party addin because we don't know where the error comes.
Thank you.
James Lim.

Problem Launching BPC for Excel in Terminal Services/Citrix Environment

Hello.
We are having an issue launching BPC in our terminal services/citrix environment. This is not the main way that users will be accessing BPC, but we plan to have it available for off-hours/off-site use.
Here are details on our environment.
1) BPC version: 5.0.502 (5.1, SP3, patch 4)
2) Env: 1 web/app server, 1 database server
3) SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, SP2
4) Problem occurs sporadically for any user.
In some instances, launching BPC for Excel does not bring up the connection wizard, instead, an error message displays saying "Object Variable is not set". We then logoff, delete the terminal services profile, and logon again, forcing the creation of a new terminal services profile, and BPC for Excel will launch the connection wizard as expected. So it seems that the terminal services profile sometimes gets corrupted. Does someone know which Windows registry key would cause this situation so we can determine the root problem? Deleting the profile is not a practical permanent solution. This is only an issue in terminal services/citrix, no other environment.
I opened this with support, but they said it's my problem. I'd appreciate any ideas to solve this. Thanks, Nancy

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem too (Citrix / BPC 7.0M SP6 Client).
Do you have a solution regarding this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

BPC for Excel Input Schedules

Hi
With Input Schedules in BPC for Excel, is there an easy way to see which cells get uploaded ?, for example, if I open a report written by another person, how can I easily see which cells get upload when MNU_ESUBMIT_REFRESH runs ?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
Gavin

HI,
There is no specific way (something like a menu command). You can define a specific colors or format for the cells(or some formulas which change the format of the cell), but this is related to the input schedule design.
Best regards,
Mihaela

How to display PropertyuFF1Au300CPARENTHu300D on BPC for Excel

Hi.
Can the dimension property：PARENTH
Is it possible to show the dimension property：PARENTH on BPC for Excel ?
I try to use 「EvPRO」.but it didn't work.
Are there special function for property：PARENTH ?
Takuo

You could try an excel formula in the extra column, but I believe that after processing the formula is removed (never tried this myself).
And a method might be to arrange things directly in SQL using triggers or custom ssis packages. But to be honest, is this really worth it, how many changes do you make in a parenth structure. A simple manual for the administrator here might be enough.
My advice is always, KISS (keep it simple and stupid)

How to create members and properties in BPC for Excel...

Hello,
Is it possible to maintain and create members and properties from an input schedule of BPC for Excel?
We want to give access to the end users to maintain one dimension (invoices) from an input schedule of BPC for Excel, in order that they will create new invoices and give properties for them... (But not accesing using BPC for Administration Console) they must access using an Excel input schedule.
Thanks,
Jorge

BPC is a Business Warehouse tool rather than an Accounting system. In other words, BPC is designed to do data analysis and planning, not creating sales documents, etc.
You should use an ERP system or at least, an Access database or Excel to create your Invoice documents. Then you load to BPC for data analysis or for planning/budgeting.
It is critical to understand the values and functions of BPC before implementing into your Business Processes, otherwise you WILL spend hundred of thousands of dollars and end up with negative ROI or loss of time and money. To give you an analogy, no matter how well a Ferrari is designed, you don't drive it in off-road conditions. There are many case studies online that try to tell us the importance of recognizing and understanding the purposes/functions/values of the products before we use it in real world, especially in SAP environment.
Hope this helps...

Hi,
You need to change the macro assigned to the standard button. There are few macros available. You can try them and see which one suits you the best.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_CLEARANDREFRESH: Sends workbook and clears data and refreshes workbook.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_NOACTION: Sends data without clearing or refreshing the worksheet.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_NOACTION_SHOWRESULT: Sends data without clearing or refreshing the worksheet, and shows the result in a window upon successful send.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_NODIALOG_SHOWRESULT: Sends active book without any dialog and show result box.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_REFRESH: Sends workbook and refreshes data.

Disable "logon" button for BPC for Excel,powerpoint and word .

Hello All,
Is there way to hide u201CLOGONu201D button for BPC for excel, word and PowerPoint. We want that our end users canu2019t see it.We have 300 users . Is there any environment variable or BPC package setting for this to do it for all users in one shot?
Thanks,
Saquib Khan

Hi,
I still don't get why this requirement but I can understand it is required by a customer.
I don't understand where is the problem if somebody will press by mistake that button.
It will prompt login window and the user will be able to press cancel button.
I think the solution proposed it is really dangerours and it can cause a lot of issues with BPC if you will delete the logon dll.
What I want to clarify is who is asking about that button to be hide?
Are we speaking about BPC users?
If yes then they will use a really nice functionality.
Majority of BPC users are working in Excel and at some moment they need access to BPC.
So in that case it is easy they have just to press the logon button.
If you will hide that button they will have to go into launch page and from there to start BPC webexcel.
So that's means they will really loose a lot of time just to be back again into excel.
So I don't get why the people request to hide that button.
Let's suppose somebody press by mistake that button ...what is the issue with that?
I need to understand the requirements to be able to understand what kind of solution we can provide for customer.

Launching a BPC for Excel template from a webdynpro link

Hello,
Does anyone know how to directly launch a BPC for Excel template using the FileService asmx call through a webdynpro link? We are currently using BPC 7.5 NW SP5.
Regards,
Nik

Could you try a couple of things....
1) Copy/Paste the worksheet into a new workbook. There may be inherent issues with a version 4.0 created EVDRE/EVGET template than a version 5.0 one
2) Check you dont have any Park N'Go issues (set to Live) or there are no Worksheet Dimension Lock options enabled.
3) I assume the old V4.0 client software was fully uninstalled before installing the new client?
4) Try delete 1950 of the formulae's and check whether the remaining 50 refresh ok or not (although I think you've said part of the report refreshes ok?)
5) Make sure you don't have any broken name ranges for example
6) You dont mention what version & service pack excel you are running, but if its Excel 2003, try apply service pack SP3.
7) Do a find and replace on EVGET and replace it with something nonsense like TESTABC, then find replace TESTABC back to EVGET. See if this initialises the EVGET or not. (shot in the dark this one).
8) Clear out your client information (eTools > Client options) and reconnect afresh with connection wizard.
9) FINALLY: Develop the new report from scratch. May not be ideal, but weigh up whether this is worth it from a time/cost benefit perspective
Regards
Anis
