Excel Functions Do Not Work When Data Source is BW

Hello,
My platform is, BOBJ BI 4.0. Data source is SAP BW. BW is connected to XCelsius with BEx. My problem is, excel functions do not work when data source is BW. For example, Excel cell A1=quantity1 B1= quantity2 C1= excel function "=A1+B1" When data source is Excel, for example A1=5, B1=9 C1 automatically equals to 14. (There is no problem when data source is Excel) But, in BW, for example when BW set values to A1=5, B1=9, the system does not calculate C1. C1 always equals to initial value, the system does not care any excel calculation when data source is BW. Any guess for my problem? Thank you for your effort.

Hi,
As you are using very simple formula,it will work no matter which source you are consuming.As mentioned,try to place a simple component(Eg:spreadsheet),just to check whether you are getting the right calculated value or not.
As you are using BW as source,the Preview option will not show the runtime data,so you need to publish in Portal to check whether the calculation happened or not.
As far as I know only few fromulas are supported in Xcelsius,but these kind of simple formulas are very much supported.
Rgds,

The Open URL or File function is not working when I publish as a exe?

The Open URL or File function is not working when I publish as a exe. I have tried putting the exe in the same location as the files with no luck. How do I get the buttons to function properly with a exe file.

Have you set the Publish folder as a trusted location in Flash Global Security?

Export to Excel functionality doesn't work when DataControlScope is shared.

Hi All,
I have a taskflow whose transaction setting is as Below:
1.Always Begin New Transaction
2.DataControlScope is isolated(Share data controls with calling task flow checkbox is unchecked).
I have an Export to Excel functionality with exportCollectionActionListener.The jsff source snippet is given below.
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{smviewcontrollerBundle.EXPORT_TO_EXCEL}"
id="cmi1" icon="/images/excel_icon.jpg"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_fragments_RefSetSearch.cmi1}">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="resId1"
type="excelHTML"
filename="SmRefSetCodes"
title="System Reference Inquiry Result"/>
</af:commandMenuItem>
The jsff is used in the above mentioned task-flow.Having this configuration in task-flow,export to excel doesn't export any table data in the excel sheet.But the moment,data-control-scope is changed to shared,export starts working.
Is there any specific reason on this kind of behavior.
In all other task-flows in my application,I have data-control-scope as isolated only,but there,export is working perfectly fine.
Please help.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply.
Exactly,I have just one task-flow in which I have a page fragment for which export to excel is not working.The moment I change the data-control-scope to shared,export functionality starts working.
I do have correct table id mentioned in exportCollectionListener.
Is there anything I need to look into?
Thanks,
Gaurav.

Function module not working when used with 'In Background Task'

hi,
this is my code
call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
              in background task
              destination 'SAPD220125'
              tables
                  it_net1 = it_net1
                  it_net2 = it_net2
                  it_net3 = it_net3 .
when this code is executed i am not getting any data in my internal tables i.e it_net1, it_net2, and it_net3
but i changed this code see the below code
      call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
             in background task (THIS IS COMMENTED)
              destination 'SAPD220125'
              tables
                  it_net1 = it_net1
                  it_net2 = it_net2
                  it_net3 = it_net3 .
now i am getting data into my internal tables
can any one tell me what can be the problem and how to solve it in my case
its very urgent

Hi,
Pls. go through the docu..
CALL FUNCTION
Variant 5
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
Additions:
1. ... AS SEPARATE UNIT
2. ... DESTINATION dest
3. ... EXPORTING p1 = f1    ... pn = fn
4. ... TABLES     p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
Effect
Flags the function module func to be run asynchronously. It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and the next COMMIT WORK executes it in another work process.
Note
This variant applies only as of Release 3.0, so both the client system and the server system must be Release 3.0 or higher.
Note
qRFC with Outbound Queue
This is an extension of tRFC. The tRFC is serialized using queues, ensuring that the sequence of LUWs required by the application is observed when the calls are sent.
For further information about qRFC, refer to the Serialized RFC: qRFC With Outbound Queue section of the SAP Library.
Addition 1
... AS SEPARATE UNIT
Effect
Executes the function module in a separate LUW under a new transaction ID.
Addition 2
... DESTINATION dest
Effect
Executes the function module externally as a Remote Function Call (RFC); dest can be a literal or a variable.
Depending on the specified destination, the function module is executed either in another R/3 System or as a C-implemented function module. Externally callable function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder (of the target system).
Since each destination defines its own program context, further calls to the same or different function modules with the same destination can access the local memory (global data) of these function modules.
Note
Note that a database commit occurs at each Remote Function Call (RFC). Consequently, you may not use Remote Function Calls between pairs of statements that open and close a database cursor (such as SELECT ... ENDSELECT).
Addition 3
... EXPORTING p1 = f1 ... pn = fn
Effect
EXPORTING passes values of fields and field strings from the calling program to the function module. In the function module, formal parameters are defined as import parameters. Default values must be assigned to all import parameters of the function module in the interface definition.
Addition 4
... TABLES p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
Effect
TABLES passes references to internal tables. All table parameters of the function module must contain values.
Notes
If several function module calls with the same destination are specified before COMMIT WORK, these normally form an LUW in the target system. Calls with the addition 1 are an exception to this rule - they each have their own LUW.
You cannot specify type 2 destinations (R/3 - R/2 connections).
(See Technical details and Administration transaction.)

Function Key not work when using jre1.5

My application was based on JDK1.3 to develop and JRE 1.3 is using in the client side.
In the application, function keys are the shortcut and it is working fine based on the above setting.
Since JRE 1.5 is encouraged to be used in the future, we try to use it to run our application. But we find that all function keys are not working.

I try to compile my code using JDK 1.3 and 1.5. Actually, there is no compilation error.
Please help me if you know the fact or solution.
Thanks a lot!

The supported Software in iPlanet's Portal Server is JDK/JRE 1.2.2_07 and JDK 1.2.2_09(in SP4). Starting with JDK1.3.1_01, applets are handled somewhat differently. Enable Java and look at the error messages in Java Console to find why the Netlet is not loading in JDK1.3.1_02. The issue might be with two JRE's or with your cache setting. Hope this helps you.

Export to excel function is not working

Hi all,
i am having a problem using the export option that is available to export table data to an excel sheet.when i click the submit button, the ouput displays in the table and then when i click export i get an exception which say:...
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.sap.ip.bi.alv.xml.ALVXMLCellCollector.collect(ALVXMLCellCollector.java:105)

    ... 87 more
and i dont get this error when i dont use "user data" connector ( a connector that contains the personal data of the user ) or when i dont click submit button to get the output.
can anyone slove this problem?
Regards,

Hi all,
The problem is solved.It was due to a numeric field in the output of the table not due to USER DATA connector.This field is basically ´"COST" and it takes decimal values.So i just changed the value of this field to
=FLOAT(@cost) ( this converts the text string to a floating point number or you could use NVAL(@cost) even this would work )
the export function worked !!!!

MinList function is not working in Date or datetime values in DRM

Hi,
We have a custom property End Date with data type as Date. We want to calculate the minimum end date across all the children of a particular node.
While using the below function it is giving blank value as output.
MinList(ReplaceStr(ListNodePropValues(ListChildren(SortOrder),[comma],Custom.NO_ALL_ALL_ENDDATE),[comma],#,true),#,date)
If we remove the MinList part and only evaluate ReplaceStr(ListNodePropValues(ListChildren(SortOrder),[comma],Custom.NO_ALL_ALL_ENDDATE),[comma],#,true), we are getting an output like 12/31/2019#12/31/2018.
Why DRM is not able to extract the min value? Does DRM not support this kind of use of this function?
We have even tried with a date time property, but the result is same.
If by using the above mentioned method it is not possible to get the min date value, what alternative approach can be taken for achieving this?
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks
Sudipta

I found this useful, check if it helps,
Using MinList and MaxList with Date Or DateTime Values In DRM (Doc ID 1967005.1)
Hyperion Data Relationship Management - Version 11.1.2.3.000 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
GOAL
Example: How can we calculate the minimum end date across all the children of a particular node?
You have a custom property End Date with data type as Date. You have tried using MinList in conjunction with ListNodePropValues thus:
MinList(ReplaceStr(ListNodePropValues(ListChildren(SortOrder),[comma],Custom.EndDate),[comma],#,true),#,date)
This gives a blank value as output.
SOLUTION
The most robust way of doing this using formulas is to format the date property as a string in ISO 8601 format. In yyyy-mm-dd format, alphabetic order is also date order. Add a helper String property like this:
FormattedDate(Custom.EndDate),yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss) -- omit the time from the 'T' on if desired. Note that the format string is case sensitive.
Then the MinList function
MinList(ReplaceStr(ListNodePropValues(ListChildren(SortOrder),[comma],Custom.Helper),[comma],#,true),#,string)
will work.
Note that the functions MinList and MaxList return a blank value if the list contains any members that are not of the specified data type. Using ReplaceStr will implicitly convert the dates into strings, causing MinList and MaxList to fail if you specify DateTime.

FUNCTION IS NOT WORKING WHEN RUN IN SRW.RUN_REPORT, URGENT

Hi,
I have a report. it has got 1 Query and 2 groups.
Q1
|
|
__G1__
|F1 |
|F2 |
|F3 |
|
|
|
__G2__
|Items|
|Sales|
| Qty|
|Store|
|Func4|
|Func5|
|Func6|
The Query looks like above. Now In the report I have a 3 User parameters . For Each record in G2 the functions Func4,Func5 and Func6 adds the value to the user parameters at the report level.
Now the Func1,Func2,Func3 takes the value of last 4 record for each item at each G1 Level and devides it by 4 and prints . As an example given below
ITEMS-----SALES-------QTY-----------STORE
10001-----10000-------200-------------100
10001-----20000-------500-------------200
10001-----15000-------350-------------175
10001-----45000-------650-------------225
10001-----50000-------700-------------300
AVERAGE==>32500-------550-------------225 ==> Calculated by F1,F2,F3
20001-----70000-------900-------------400
20001-----30000-------600-------------350
20001-----20000-------500-------------300
20001-----25000-------450-------------275
20001-----35000-------550-------------225
20001-----65000-------800-------------400
AVERAGE==>36250-------650-------------300 ==> Avg of last 4 records
This report takes an parameter which is part of the Where condition of the Query Q1. If I run this report from the report builder and provide the value for the parameter then the report runs fine printing the exact values. If I run the report from another report(which I have to do, due to circumstances) using SRW.Run_Report and pass the parameter in the same command. The the function FUNC4, FUNC5, FUNC6 does not do the addition, as a result the Func1,Func2,Func3 returns 0. I dont know why this is happenning .
This is very very URGENT, My project manager is on my head to finish it ASAP. Please help.
Thanks
Feroz

Hi Toby and Danny,
Thanks for the quick reply. I dont think I am having an interdependancy of the functions. Here is an sample what two functions do at each level
Func6 =========> This function at group level G2
begin
-- To initialize the user parameter for each new item.
     If :CNT = 1 Then
          :Wk4_Pos_Qty := 0;
     End If;
-- to add the qty value to the user parameter for last 4 records. Uchange is the no of records for each item
If :CNT >= :UCHANGE - 3 Then
     :Wk4_Pos_Qty := :Wk4_Pos_Qty + :Qty;
End If;
return 0;
end;
Func3 ======> this function at group level G1
Begin
-- if no of records are less than 4 then devide by the no of records or devide by 4.
     If :UChange < 4 Then
               return((:Wk4_Pos_Qty + :Qty) / :UChange);
     Else
               return((:Wk4_Pos_Qty + :Qty)/ 4);
     End If;
end;
Here Wk4_Pos_Qty is the User parameter created to hold the calue for the Um of last 4 records Qty.
I tried to modify the Func3 so that it looks like this
Func3
begin
srw.reference(:Wk4_Pos_Qty);
     If :UChange < 4 Then
               return((:Wk4_Pos_Qty + :Qty) / :UChange);
     Else
               return((:Wk4_Pos_Qty + :Qty)/ 4);
     End If;
end;
But it does not effect anything. I mean its the same. The Wk4_Pos_Qty returns 0 and Func3 returns 0.
Any Suggestions .
Thanks
Feroz

A simple one: Save function does not work when a client is trying to save a form on his desktop i cr

Hi, i have created a simple form in live cycle designer with just some fields the cleint can enter infomartion into.
when ever they then open the PDf to fill in the fields, they can never save it, it seems to be the case everytime i make a form in live cycle designer. the documnet has no security settings on, and i cannot find anywhere else to enable/disable saving the documnet.
Can anyone help?
thanks.

Ben,
You are half correct with your thinking. The problem is two fold. The basic Adobe Reader program will only allow a user to view a form in all reality. Yes you can fill it in and print it, but saving the completed form is not something Reader is allowed to do on its own. The exception to this is having a Reader Extended form. A reader extended form has been given additional rights that allows the basic version of reader to perform additional tasks, that normally require Adobe Acrobat to accomplish. In order to be able to save your completed form you will need to either open the form with Adobe Acrobat, or reader extend the form first if you are going to do the same thing with Reader.

Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
Any idea what could be wrong .
I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

Hi,
I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Any input is wellcome.

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.

Barry

TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.
The failure in communication is two parted:
1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)
2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)
therefore confused clients.
For readers '''CAUTION''' check the minimum requirements for Reader X.
Here: [http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html Adobe's Reader X requirements link]
Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. '''aging''' Hardware
Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has
downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.
This is '''very expensive''' for both the sender and receiver
It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...
