Error running XL Reporter: 'a required COM add-in program..' for Excel 2007

I have 2 users running Excel 2007 that can't run XL reporter. They get the message 'a required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded'. I have instructions for Excel 2003, but not for 2007. Does anyone know how to resolve this for Excel 2007?

Gordon,
I have instructions to get the IXXLReporter.dll file in the installation area, but 2007 has completely different layout. I can't find where to go??? Can you please give me the procedure?

Required COM add-in program for XL Reporter

Hi everyone,
Is SBO 2007A XL Reporter compatible with MS-EXCEL 2007? How can I configure the settings if the system would prompt a message "A required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded and prohibits MS -Excel from running"
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM:
Reason and Prerequisites
You need to be an administrator on the local machine to add COM add-ins.
Solution
The user should be added as a member of the administrator role on the
local computer the first time you start Excel from XL Reporter the first
time so that the COM addin are registered, then you can remove the user
from the administrator group again.
Manually Loading the XL Reporter Excel COM Add-In
Symptom
If you install Microsoft Office after installing the XL Reporter
application or use another Windows user than the one you used when
installing XL Reporter, you can get an error message.
Reason and Prerequisites
The reason for this is that the report writer COM Add-in has not been
loaded, which prohibits Microsoft Excel from running.
Solution
1. Start Microsoft Excel. If you already have the COM Add-ins command on
the Tools menu, go to step 7.
2. In the Tools menu, choose Customize.
This opens the Customize window.
3. Choose the Commands tab and select Tools from the Categories pane on
the left.
4. In the Command pane on the right, scroll down to the COM Add-ins
command.
5. Select the COM Add-ins command, hold down the mouse button, and drag
COM Add-ins from the Commands pane over to the Tools menu on the Microsoft
Excel men bar. When the Tools menu commands appear, point to where you
want the COM Add-ins command to appear on the menu and release the mouse
button.
6. To close the Customize window, choose Close.
7. On the Tools menu, choose the new COM Add-ins option.
This opens the COM Add-ins window.
8. In the window, choose Add to open the Add Add-in window.
9.Select the IXXLReporter.dll file located in the Client directory in the
XL Reporter program installation area and choose OK.
10. In the COM Add-ins window, select the XL Reporter checkbox and choose
OK.

XL reporter error-requried COM add-in program for XL reporter has not ben l

Dear All,
I am getting this error could anyone please let me know the solution:
"A requried COM add-in program for XL reporter has not been Loded and prohibuit Microsoft Excel from running.

Hi,
try to use the solution from the SAP note 893307:
XLR - Activation of Other Microsoft Excel Add-Ins
Symptom
When Microsoft Excel is launched from within the XL Reporter application, other add-ins selected in Microsoft Excel's Add-Ins window are not automatically loaded into Microsoft Excel upon start.
Other terms
XLR, Business One, Addins, deactivated
Reason and Prerequisites
When Microsoft Excel is started through Automation (COM), Add-ins are not loaded by default. This is by design and XL Reporter follows this behaviour.
The following is a workaround solution that is avalible in SAP Add-On XL Reporter 2004 SP02 patch 2 and SAP Add-On XL Reporter 2005 SP00 patch 1 and subsequent releases.
Solution
If you need to have other add-ins automatically loaded upon start, a workaround solution is now possible:
In the Microsoft Registry Editor on your client machine, change the following settings in your system registry: in the registry tree underHKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/iLytix/XLReporter/Settings/SBOOEM, add a key with the following name: StartExcelAddins. The key can have two values: the value, 1, which activates other add-ins upon start, and the default value, 0, which leaves the other add-ins inactivated.
Incorrectly editing the registry may damage your system. System registry changes should therefore only be performed by an advanced user who is prepared to both edit and restore the registry. For details about the system registry, please refer to Microsoft Registry Editors help system
if not solve yet, just let me know

You are running a report. It is taking long time for

You are running a report. It is taking long time for
execution. What steps will you do to reduce the
execution time.
plx explain clearly

Avoid loops inside loops.
Avoid select inside loops.
Select only the data that is required instead of using select *
Select the field in the sequence as they are present in the database, and also specify the fields in the where clause in the same sequence.
When ur using for all entries in the select statement, check whether the internal table to which ur refering is not initial.
Remove select... endselect instead use into table
Avoid Select Single inside the loop, instead select all the data before the loop and read that internal table inside the loop using binary search.
Sort the Internal tables where ever necessary.

we are running a report ? it is taking long time for execution. what steps will we do to reduce the execution time?

Hi ,
the performance can be improved thru many ways..
First try to select based on the key fields if it is a very large table.
if not then create a Secondary index for selection.
dont perform selects inside a loop , instead do FOR ALL ENTRIES IN
try to perform may operations in one loop rather than calling different loops on the same internal table..
All these above and many more steps can be implemented to improve the performance.
Need to look into your code, how it can be improved in your case...

How to create Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007

Hi,
When I create my Add-On into SBO I have some issues.
Which program do I use to create an Add-On into SBO?
Is there a URL or Path where I find the program?
I am using a 2003 program which is built by my colleague.
I assume SAP provide the Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
Thank you,
Rune

Rune,
At a high level ...
1) VS2005
2) Compile your program
3) Generate and Add-on Identifier
4) Create a registration datafile
5) Create the setup program consisting of your .EXE and the .ARD file
6) Add-On is created and running in SBO
Again ... the details on deploying and packaging your add-on can be found in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation and the SDK eLearning.
Also, you can use B1DE using the Simple Installer or Professional Installer will do most of the work for you after you have coded the add-on.

pls help me how to overcome this issue give me reponse asap
thanks.

To answer my own question, referring to document 1J6MCMIN the error was due to the requirement for an even number of points. It would be nice if this were documented. This doesn't explain the problem where the computer locks up with a small number of points.

Error running a report with the rwclient utility

I am running the following command:
rwclient.sh server=rep_vese3valso9 report=/oracle9ias/appl/rec/bin/rep/CAJR30020.rdf userid=uspan/uspan@gio NU_SEC=727586 paramform=no destype=file batch=yes desformat=wide220 desname=/oracle9ias/appl/rec/lisrep/CAJR30020_727586.lis
and I am getting the following error:
REP-0177: Error while running in remote server
Invalid value for parameter 'DESNAME'.
A friend told me that I have to modify some files of the report server in order to allow this type ( desformat=wide220 ) in the sentence.
Do you know what are those files or how to solve this problem ?
Have you had any problem like that ?
Thanks
Joel Pérez

What's desformat=wide220? Never, ever seen that before!
As you use destyp=file, I believe you should change desformat to desformat=delimiteddata and add a delimiter, for instance delimiter=tab
rwclient.sh server=rep_vese3valso9 report=/oracle9ias/appl/rec/bin/rep/CAJR30020.rdf userid=uspan/uspan@gio NU_SEC=727586 paramform=no destype=file batch=yes desformat=delimiteddata delimiter=tab desname=/oracle9ias/appl/rec/lisrep/CAJR30020_727586.lisYou should also define REPORTS_PATH, so that you could skip the path in reports, i.e. report=CAJR30020.rdf instead of report=/oracle9ias/appl/rec/bin/rep/CAJR30020.rdf
Also, you might have gotten faster (and better) respons if you had posted this in the Reports forum, instead of here in the Application Server forum.

Error running BW report frm InfoView when pwd initialized/changed in BW

Hi Experts,
We encountered error "A database error occured. THe databse error text is: unable to connect to sap bw server name or password is incorrect (repeat logon) (WIS 10901)" when we tried to run a BW report from InfoView. We realize this happens only when the user's password is initialized or has been changed in BW.
In our landscape, users SSO into InfoView via Windows Authentication. SSO between InfoView to BW is via SNC.
The error is gone after loggin into InfoView through non-SSO method, then selecting "SAP authentication" method and login
with new BW credentials. It seems like there' s a cache in BOBJ server containing the user's BW credentials. However, this is not a realistic scenario since users change their passwords frequently and we cannot expect them to login to InfoView with SAP authentication each time there is a password change. The requirement is that they are to SSO into InfoView using Windows Authentication.
Similar to when password is initialized, it requires user to login to BW to change the password, then login to InfoView using SAP authentication to "sync" up the credentials. This kinda defeats the purpose of SSO isn't it? Anyone has any solution to this?
THanks,
ZM

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for the prompt reply. From the behaviour of the testing, it seems like BOBJ server has a cache ( correct me if i'm wrong here) that contains users' BW credentials that is retrieved when user runs BW report in InfoView, as whenever the pwd is changed in BW via SAP GUI, users will always hit the error unless the user logs in the InfoView by selecting "sap" authentication on the logon page, which thus refreshes the cache in BOBJ. If users change their passwords in SAP GUI (BW), this will result in passwords in BW and cache of BOBJ server to be out of sync, and thus error still appears.
1. Is this the standard behaviour for BOBJ cache to store the BW credentials?
2. How can we sync up the user credentials?
Thanks,
ZM

Error running 9i reports from forms.

Hi folks,
i am having problems running 9i reports from a form.
i have installed Oracle 9iDS on a Win XP machine with 256 MB RAM and a Pentium 1.4Ghz processor.
i also have a local Oracle 9i database. i have created several reports that i am trying to run from some forms but all efforts to date have failed.
below is some sample code.
declare
v_rid report_object;
v_rjob varchar2(100);
v_rptstatus varchar2(100);
v_jobid varchar2(100);
BEGIN
/*get handle to report object itself*/
v_rid := find_report_object('pbranchlist');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESTYPE,'CACHE');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_SERVER,'repsrv');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,synchronous);
v_rjob := run_report_object(v_rid);
v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
while v_rptstatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') loop
     v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
     message(v_rptstatus);
end loop;
if v_rptstatus = 'FINISHED' then
     /*display report in browser*/
--      web.show_document('http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
--      substr(v_rptsvrjob,instr(v_rptsvrjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rjob,instr(v_rjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
else
     message('error running Report');
end if;
end;
pbranchlist is defined in the form,
repsrv is a report server i installed and explicitly started.
on clicking the button to run the above code, i get a message on the browser status bar as follows
opening http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid11?server=repsrv...
that's it. it stays like that forever and a progress bar showing the status of the operation gets to the halfway mark and stays there for up to 15 minutes.
I eventually halted the operation by clicking the stop button of the browser. The form then becomes totally non-responsive with the mouse indicator changing to the hour-glass shape and a small vertical bar moving rapidly back and forth at the bottom of the form window.
My only recourse then is to explicitly close the browser window.
I have already configured Reports to run in non single sign-on mode by setting SINGLESIGNON=NO in the rwservlet.properties file.
Is there anything i have not done properly?
Thanks in advance.

Steve,
can you check the Reports cache directory if the Reports file got created? I would assume yes, but better check.
