Federating the Business explorer role

Recently we have successfully federated some reports for some business users.  Now another business group is interested in federating the Business explorer role.  They would like to take advantage of the BexWebanayzer iview and a few of its features.   They want the ability to personalize (change the columns and filteringu2026) a report and save it in their personal Portfolio area in KM on the producer.   I'm having some issues federating that iview and the business explorer role.  Is anyone aware of any other SAP users that have federated the Business explorer role?
      Along with federating the role the users would like to hide 2 of the tabs within the popup iview of the "save as" in the BexWebAnalyzer iview . I don't know if this is even possible to modify the popup and I can't seem to find that popup object/iview.
Thanks, any info is appreciated.

Hey @ All,
how did you install the EP? What kind of Usagetype did you select?
To have the BI content installed to the EP you need to install the BI usagetype as well. So in SAPinstaller you have to check the marks properly.
If you have installed only the EP usagetype you are able to reinstall the BI usagetype afterwards. As far as I know you can start the SAPinstaller again and set the right checkmarks.
The BI (usagetype) content needs a WEBAS Java and EP installed.
Hope this explanation helped a little... if so points are very welcome since i am starting from scratch!
kind regards
Tobi

  • Problem executing a report in the Business Explorer

    Hi people,
          I'm trying to execute a report with the transaction RRMX in BW but when I execute it in the business explorer I receive this error:
    internal error Problem when writing table: C_T_VARIABLES
    Abort system error in program SAPLRRK0 and form NODE_AUTORITY_FILL_2
    Someone have an idea of the problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi
    Is it for all your reports ?
    If it is for one, what does it do ?
    Do you have the customer exit activated and filled in ?

  • Define the Version of Excel starting over the Business Explorer

    Hello,
    we are running SAP BI 2004s. On my computer are two versions of Excel installed. Excel 2003 and Excel 2007. Actually over the Business Explorer I can only start Excel 2003. Is there a possibility to change this adjustment without deinstalling one version of Excel? I need both versions because of tests.
    Many thanks!

    Jörg,
    another way of starting BEx analyzer is by running the XLA file directly out of Excel.  Open up the 2003 version, and start this file (this is the default location):
    "c:Program FilesSAPFrontEndBwBExAnalyzer.xla"
    BTW - I use both versions of excel (2003 and 2007) with BEx, and both are running fine.  Beware that you cannot save workbooks in xlsx format (new Excel 2007 open XML format) and then save them in the system yet (will be fixed in the upcoming support stack I believe).  For that reason, I typically would save the workbook by using Office 2003, and then when I return to it, I can use either 2003 or 2007
    good luck

  • Business Explorer and Business Intelligence Roles

    Can someone answer the following questions about these 2 roles:
    Business Explorer
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase
    Business Intelligence
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.bi_showcase
    It appears the BI Role above has the Business Planning feature, but Business Explorer does not.  Other than this, can someone explain the difference and why 2 seperate roles?
    Also, if we give users the Business Explorer role, we do not want them to see the Bex Broadcasting tab that comes by default.  Is the only way to avoid this is create a copy of this standard delivered ivew (contained in the Business Explorer Role) and remove this tab?
    Can anyone share thoughts or experience with these 2 different roles and modifying?
    Thanks,  Mark.

    Business Explorer role is from 3.5 and BI role is new in 04s.
    You will have to create the copy and remove the unwanted iViews from the new role.
    You can set permissions at iView level (permission to specfc users for broadcaster iView) but it will be hard maintaining it.

  • Publish web templates in business explorer

    Hello Guys,
    In standart business explorer role , we can run queries in BEX Web Analyzer in portal.But we can not see web templates in BEX Analyzer in business explorer role in portal.It is not possible to see web templates in business explorer role in portal?

    Hi,
    Web Templates have to been embedded into iViews.
    iViews are the smallest possible unit of information in the Portal. You can arrange them in Pages, Worksets and Roles.
    Thus, if you want them in the Portal, "wrap" them into an iView, then is it up to you whether you put them in the Business Explorer tab or elsewhere.
    For information :
    - Business Intelligence (1st level tab) is both a Role and a Workset. The fact that it appears on the first level is because it is set as an Entry point in the Workset.
    - Business Explorer is a Workset (2nd level tab)
    You have to be Content Admin. to create Portal Content in the Content Administration tab : the editor that is called is the Portal Content Editor.
    Best regards,
    Guillaume

  • Trouble Shooting in Business Explorer and its Solution ....

    Hi All BW Experts,
    I would like to have some sample of BW Reporting issue (Data Discrepancies)and how to solve them in General including its solution. Like on Navigation Display and etc, any input is very highly regarded.
    Thank You in Advance
    Kumar

    Hi dear,
    first of all you need to divide the error analysis in several check-areas...
    (WHERE your data is wrong ? in PSA? in data mart section? in the final infoprovider ? only at query level ? at DB level?)
    As you can see, understand WHERE is your problem solves half problem it-self !
    Then look at OSS notes, first of all to verify that there is no std bug in some pgm, or to receive some useful suggestion...
    578379 "Analysis/Required infos for wrong values in BW Query Results"
    565086 "Composite SAP note: Wrong or no data..."

    Hope it helps!

  • Business Partner Roles and Account Life Cycle management in IC

    Hi all,
    We have IC agents creating prospects but also back office people (i.e. sales staff) creating prospects. Back office staff uses account life cycle management to identify the prospect role. However, I noticed that the business partner role (prospect in this case) is not visible within the IC - during account creation - because the role is used within the account life cycle role exclusion group.
    I can always enhance the IC component to remove the filter on the BP Role. but question I have is why does SAP IC remove the roles from the role drop down list in the IC account creation screen and how did other people get around this?
    Thanks,
    John

    I am also looking for an answer on this. How did other people who work on Interaction Center get around this? How do you create accounts when IC removes the BP roles mentioned in the Exclusion group config in SPRO ?

  • Regarding Business object roles in CRM

    Hello friends,
    What are the business object roles in CRM ?can any one can explain about this.
    Regards,
    Rajasekhar.

    Hi Rajasekhar,
    Did you mean "business roles" ?
    The concept of business roles is more used and important in WebUI. SAP CRM business roles are used to package the main business content needed to perform a specific job function. Defining a role influences the complete content visible to a user assigned to this role.
    Some examples of standard roles are:
    SALESPRO (Sales Professional)
    SERVICEPRO (Service Professional)
    IC_AGENT & IC_MANAGER (Standard Interaction Center Agent & Manager)
    Hope this is what you are looking for.

  • Business Explorer 7.1 With Windows Server 2000?

    Hi
    We are looking to upgrade our SAP GUI from 620 to 710.  As part of this due to other system install and upgrades we are looking to upgrade the Business Explorer from the included 3.5 to 7.1.
    My issue/question is this......I am reading conflicting information, of sorts, in that in the prerequisites it states that Business Explorer 7.1 is only compatible with Windows XP or Vista.  However in the installation guide for Business Explorer 7.1 in Chapter 5 it says "The user with which you are logged in to your workstation (Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista)"
    To add to the confusion we access the SAP GUI, and in turn the business explorer, via Citrix and so there is no SAP software installed locally on the users desktops.
    So in case I haven't yet asked the question, Is it possible to have Business Explorer 7.1 working on Windows 2000 Server?  And if so is it straightforward or are there workarounds required?
    Thanks in advance
    Ian Newbury

    We have installed the BEx Analyser version 7.1 and it works so the answer to my question is Yes.

  • Business Explorer Analyzer not installed

    Hi, I installed SAP GUI 710 (patch level 8) and I have no problems going into Bex Query Designer but when I try clicking for Analyzer, it doesnt work. Nothing happens.. But when I try using transation RRMX, i get an error that the Business Explorer Analyzer is not installed. I am using Excel 2007.. Can you help? Do I have to do anything else??

    Hi,
    I had similar problem in my PC also earlier. After updating to our IT Dept, they uninstalled GUI and then installed .Net patches and then SAP GUI 710 with latest patch.
    Also in MS Office 2007 they went into the Macro security settings and made it low.
    After that the problem is resolved.
    Hope this helps.
