Favorites in BEx Analyzer

Hello everyone!
We work with BW 3.0B and GUI 6.40.
Is there a possibility to organize the favorites in BEx Analyzer? I would like to create some subfolders.
thx for your help
rgds Adi

Hi
thanks for your quick answers.
I started Excel with the BEx Add-In. I tried to open a query. The screen to choose a query appears. I have three buttons on the left hand side: Favorites, Roles, InfoAreas. When I select Favorites, I see just one folder "Favorites" and all queries in that folder.
I don't have a chance to create a new folder (not with a button, not with a right mouse click) or to drag and drop.
Do I make anything wrong?
thx & rgds Adi

Difference between bexbrowser and Bex analyzer

Hi,
   can any body tell me what is the difference between bex browser and bex analyzer and how end users will access the reports and how they access SAP.

Hi
*BEx Web Analyzer *
The BEx Web Analyzer is a standalone, convenient Web application for data analysis that you can call using a URL or as an iView in the portal.
The Web Analyzer allows you to execute ad hoc analyses on the Web: When you have selected a data provider (query, query view, InfoProvider, external data source), the data is displayed in a table with a navigation pane. You can navigate to the data and use other Web Analyzer functions available in the application toolbar. For example, you can change the type of data display, use the information broadcasting functions to broadcast your analyses to others, and create printable versions of your analyses.
In the Web Analyzer, you can save the data view generated from navigation and analysis as a query view by choosing Save View in the context menu, and you can save the ad hoc analysis by choosing Save As. When the query view is saved, only the data view is saved; when the ad hoc analysis is saved, the entire Web application is saved, including the properties of Web items and the layout of the data.

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

Opening queries in BEx Analyzer

Hi,
We have a new SAP BW installation. When we try to open a query from the BEx Browser, it is opened with an Internet Browser instead of BEx Analyzer. The same occurs if we try to open it from the Favorites menu in the administrator workbench.
Does anybody know where we can change the setting so that the queries open in Excel?
Thanks very much,
Ana

Hi,
You define the standard Web template in the SAP Reference IMG->Business Information Warehouse->Reporting-Relevant Settings.
check this may be it suits ur need

Opening Bex Analyzer in Webgui using NetWeaver Webdynpro

I have a Netweaver Webdynpro(Java) application which stores Transactions as favorite URLs (eg: SE37, SE38, RRMX..). When user clicks on the favorites link, the application supplies the URL to the transaction by appending the System , host details and the transaction opens up in a webgui.
This works for all transactions except RRMX for Business Explorer Analyzer(Bex Analyzer). For Bex Analyzer, the SAP WebGui opens up, but the Bex Analyzer does not open up. The message displayed is "Please install suitable Excel version."
Does anyone know what is missing?

Ok.. I have to add this. The BEX ANALYZER works in the same scenario for another link defined on Portal. So, the problem is not with the Excel/Office installation.
The only difference is that the link which works correctly on the portal : uses an Transaction Iview whose SAPGUI type WinGui.
Where as the application which we built forms a Url with the transaction code. So, when user clicks on the URL, what happens is the Transaction opens up in the WebGui mode. This is the main difference.
And, we have a whole list of transactions which needs to be opened and it would not be feasible to make seperate transaction iviews for each transaction. Currently, we are thinking of calling this already configured Transaction Iview for only the RRMX transactions. But, we are stuck trying to launch this transaction iview from WebDynpro.
Reason: The window closes after launching the Bexanalyser and we are unable to get the URL of this window before it closes. How do we read this PCD information from WebDynpro to get to launch this Transaction iview for RRMX?

Error when starting Bex analyzer

Hi All!
We have a world wide BW-SEM application. In one country they get the following error message when starting Bex analyzer:
<install error> Missing ActiveX component: Business Explorer Global Services
Does anyone have a hint on what to do?
Thanks for your help!

hi
try to check with SAPBEXC.xla
and take a look oss note 585643
may need to manual register .dll with regsvr32
Do an Installation check of the BEx Analyzer as follows:
In the bex analyzer menu, Business explorer -> Installation Check -> Once the excel sheet opens, press the start button to start the check. Check the entries in red to see any missing/old ocx, dlls.

Difference between Bex Analyzer and Bex WAD

Hi Every one,
I am pretty new to SAP, and working on SAP BW Front end.
I am pretty aware of Bex Analyzer and also Browser, but i always have a doubt about Bex WAD.
In my present job i talk to the users and take the requirments and create queries in the Bex analyzer which i am comfortable doing it.
I also know all the features of Analyzer and created quries and also published it on web, and also created workbooks and inserting multiple quries in the workbook etc etc..
However i have zero knowledge on WAD and how it is useful to me, and as if now i haven't got any requirment from the client for me to create any report in WAD or do some thing in WAD.
I have gone through SAP SDN help etc but i am not understanding it at all.
So can any one explain me in a laymans terms what WAD is and how it will be useful to me?
and also if possible send me link which has got PDF screen shots of what WAD is?
Points is for sure.
Regards,
Ram

Raj,
Thanks for the reply, but i still did not get the understanding about WAD. i have studied the link which you sent me.
I am still not able to understand how it is helpful for people like me,
See i create my report in Query designer, and i can execute the query in Analyser. and if i want i can execute it in the Web from my query designer, and also i can create chart on the web if i want.And i can Broadcaste it in the Web.
and also if i want i can create it in the workbook and create chart in that work book.
Then what is the point of Web Application Designer (WAD).
See i have created the Query in Designer in Development say Sales report Query on the infoprovider for SD, now what should i do with it in WAD.
How can i get it in WAD, i went to start> all Programs>Bex> WAD and i logged in to development and a sereen opend. And from here what i can do, i mean how can i open my created query in WAD?
As you guys know i am new to SAP itself, but i dont see any advantage about WAD, i read all the articals and there i found that i can create Web Items, HTML etc etc, but i already have HTML, when i execute my query from the Designer i get it in Web Browser...
See my question is simple, i have a query which i have created in the Query Designer, now how can i get it to WAD and after getting it what can i do with it??
If any one has a screen shots of there pls send me.
And Sanjeev has sent me a PDF which i saw earlear and i done the same in my WAD but i am not about to get it to work.
I have given the points to every one but still what i need i did not get yet.
Regards,
Ram

Hi,
check whether you have loaded data in to quality server if no, please load data for all the target involved in info set. If data loaded check all the target 'request for reporting available 'or not.
Also check whether data is showing in infoset or not.. if data availble there change your selection critiria accordingly.

Conversion of characteristic values before displaying in Bex Analyzer

Dear all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to get influence on the manner in which a characteristic is embedded into an BEx Analyzer sheet (may be via user exit, function module exits or something else) .
In our project we have characteristics (describing production parameters) with numeric values which can't be used successfully with EXCEL AutoFilter functions because they are strings in EXCEL. Due to our data warehaouse design koncept it is not all right for us to store these values as key figures. So we are searching for methods to convert these string values into numeric values before we give them into the EXCEL sheet.
Lot of thanks for you in advance!
Dorothea Gebauer.

High Leo Gillian,
at first thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately your information is not practicable for us. There are hundreds of characteristics, in the future there may be mor than two thousend, which have to be converted before they are embedded into the sheets. Therefore we need an automatically done conversion.
with best regards Dorothea Gebauer

Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

Hi,
No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options. But I am able to upload only 10,000 material from text file. I never faced same kind of issue when I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x. Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.
Thanks
Sri Krishna Ponnada.

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

Excel 2002 with BEx Analyzer NW2004s

Hi,
can I use Excel 2002 with BEx Analyzer NW2004s? I read somewhere, it is possible only with Office 2003. It's true?
Thanks!

Hi, for some reason the BI FAQs on SDN are not up-to-date. I will investigate and make sure they are refreshed asap.
You always find the up-to-date FAQs on SAP Service Marketplace /bifaq. There you see the correct answer:
Which versions of Microsoft Office are supported by SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI Business Explorer (BEx)?
BEx in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) supports MS Office 2003 and Office XP, SP2 (this includes Excel 2002) based on GUI 6.40
BEx in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) supports MS Office 2003 based on GUI 7.10
For information on planned support for Windows Vista and Office 2007 (based on GUI 7.10) please check the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW7.0 (2004s).
There is
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools on MS Office 97
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools for Office XP (Excel 2002) in combination with GUI 7.10

Problem-taking a long time to open Bex Analyzer

We upgraded from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0 SP9, Front End SP 9, Patch 3, Revision 370 and have a problem when we try to access Bex Analyzer. The response time is very poor. It can take as long as 3 minutes (or longer) for Bex Analyzer to open after we click on the Bex Analyzer option. When we were on BI 7.0, Front End SP 7, the response time was better but since upgrading to FEP 9, the time to open Bex Analyzer from our PCs is very long. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how was it resolved? Thanks

You might want to trouble shoot with web log from BINW2004s forum topper and Front end Champ Prakash ...

BEx Analyzer not working in SAP GUI 7.10

Dear All,
BEx Analyzer 7.0 is not working on SAP GUI 7.10. Following are the details:
OS: Windows XP SP2
Installed the following softwares (in the sequential order):
1. Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP1
2. MS Office 2003 (without any service packs)
3. SAP GUI 7.10 (used SAPAllSetup.exe) to install both BEx Analyzer 3.5 and BEx Analyzer 7.0 alongwith SAP GUI 7.10.
While BEx Analyzer 3.5 runs fine, 7.0 does not.
Upon running BEx Analyzer 7.0 from the Programs menu, I see a toolbar on the left hand side on MS Excel in German. Whenever I click on any button, they do not respond.
When I tried to install update for Office 2003 (KB907417), I received the message stating the patch has already been applied.
I also applied SAP GUI 7.10 Patch Level 8, but still the problem remains the same.
Running Tcode RRMX from the SAP GUI opens MS Excel with both the toolbars of 3.5 (on top) and 7.0 (on left). As before, 3.5 works fine, while 7.0 does not.
Do I need to install Office SP2 or SP3, as well? Or something else? Any solutions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sachin.

Hello Experts,

1) I am trying to open a BEX report "ReportA" in Excel (BeX Analyzer).
2) As soon as the report opens it shows me a message "Do you want to open the 3.X workbook for upgrade"
3) I click on "OK"
4) then i get a message window listing a lot of warnings liike " Access to project denied" "creation of items failed"
5) i click on "OK"
6) Now, variable entry screen appears
7) i enter values and click on "OK" the report does not show any data.
Now, the same report "reportA" when i open it in Internet Explorer, it displays data. What can be reason for this problem in BEX analyzer ?
Please comment.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair
Edited by: Suraj S Nairon Dec 28, 2009 10:50 AM

Hi Suraj,
If you want to execue your query, you can use the bex analyzer.
If you are opening the query from query designer 3.x query in 7.0 fronend, it will get upgraded and then cannot be reveted.
In your case this automatic migration might be havng some issues, owing to complexities.
Please recheck.

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

Anindya
