How to connect to BO from Excel 2007

Hi everyone,
as I am new to BO I need help how to establish connection to a BO Universe from Excel 2007 - what components I need to install to be able to make the connection, and steps for creating the connection
Thanks in advance,
Maria

Hello Mario,
It looks like what you are looking for is the "live office" plugin/toolbar that is added to excel that allows you to import WEBI reports based on universes into excel.

Oracle SQL Query from EXCEL 2007 with prompt

Hello,
I have many excel reports where I am pulling information from our Oracle 9 db through Excel using the following method:
http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/microsoft-excel/how-to-query-oracle-from-excel-2007/
http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/30/sql-query-in-excel-2007/
However, I am having trouble when I try the following query due to the prompt:
SELECT
IM.ITEM_GROUP,
IM.ITEM,
IM.DESCRIPTION
FROM
LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
WHERE
IM.ITEM = '&ITEM';
Does any one know how I can connect a prompt to an excel cell and then pass the query on to Oracle, or have a PL SQL prompt work from Excel?
Thanks,
Ben

The 'prompt' as you call it is a sqlplus feature, so does not belong to the SQL language
You would need to write a stored procedure returning a resultset.
create or replace procedure foo(rc in out sys_refcursor, p_item) as
begin
open rc for
'SELECT
IM.ITEM_GROUP,
IM.ITEM,
IM.DESCRIPTION
FROM
LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
WHERE
IM.ITEM = '||p_item;
end;
and call that using ODBC or asp.net
Obviously this is profusely documented.

How to upload the data from excel(3 tabs) file to sap environment

Hi all,
This is Mahesh.
how to upload the data from excel(3 tabs) file to sap environment (internal tables) while doing bdc.

Hi,
The FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' makes it possible to load a worksheet into an internal table in ABAP.
However, if you want to get the data from several worksheets, I think you are stuck with OLE access to your Excel Workbook...
You can find a solution for 2 worksheets in this post :
TO UPLOAD DATA FROM 2 EXCEL SHEETS INTO TWO INTERNAL TABLES
I think you can easily modify it to handle any number of worksheets.
Hope it helps !
Best regards,
Guillaume

Cannot Save New Document to SP2010 from Excel 2007

I have two users who cannot save a new file from Excel 2007 to Sharepoint 2010 using the network share path. They receive the following error:
You cannot save the file you selected. The folder you selected is not an actual file system location.
However, other users can save this way with not trouble at all.
When they have the Excel file open, they go to Save As... and the window opens. Then they type in the path to the Sharepoint library where they want to save the file: \\intranet\DavWWWRoot\site\library\
At this point, they should be able to click the Save button and the window will refresh to the Sharepoint library. They would then be able to enter the name of the file and click the Save button again. However, when they click the Save button the first time
to refresh the window, nothing updates and the path they just typed goes away.
My first thought was an issue with permissions, but I've checked and double checked that they are in the correct group.
Then I decided to go even more basic and have them use Windows Explorer to browse to the location. They were able to.
I then had them right click within Windows Explorer, select New, and click Text Document. Not only were they able to create the new text file, but I confirmed it updated
the Sharepoint library successfully. So, that obviously rules out any issues with permissions.
Out of sheer frustration, I even tried mapping a network drive to the Sharepoint library and having them save to the mapped drive location, which of course yielded the exact same error.
I have also double checked that the Webclient service is running on the machines.
One more piece to note is that these two users are still running XP. They'll be upgraded to Win7 later this year, but this needs to work before then.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did the issue only occur in Excel? What about the other Office suits?
Please copy the site URL to the File name Text Box in the Save as window. Like:
http://intranet\site\library

How to connect oracle database from tuxedo

Hi,
How to connect oracle database from tuxedo.
If any one can help me.
Regards,

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.

How to connect to db from sql navigator ?

database active and working.
login from web working normally.
how to connect to db from sql navigator ?

Remote connections generally need three bits of information, whether its an oracle, odbc, or some other type of client ...
1. Where does the database "live" (hostname or IP address)
2. What port is the database listener "listening" on for connections
3. What is the database service name or $ORACLE_SID
Default port is 1521, if its an XE install the service name is XE out-of-the-box (as set up by the installer and no DBA intervention.)

Excel connections failing after the move from XP to Win7 and from Excel 2007 to 2010

We recently upgraded to Win7 from XP, and from Office 2007 to 2010. Some of my packages that use CSV or Excel as sources are failing. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there a quick fix?
I tried saving the excel source files to 2007 format, but that really doesn't seem to be an option since both 2007 and 2010 ostensibly use the same extension, viz., .xslx.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. I'd hate to have to rewrite some of these packages if there's an easy fix.
We're running SQL 2008 R2 and I'm using BIDS 2008

Problem Creating PDF Files from Excel 2007

I am running WinXP SP2, Office 2007, and Acrobat v8.1.2. I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. When I was using Excel 2003 I could create a PDF file using five of the six worksheets. Since upgrading to Office 2007 I am unable to create PDF files from Excel. I can create PDF files from Word 2007. When I attempt to use the Acrobat Plug-in to create a PDF I get a message saying the file needs to be saved first. It then attempts to save the file to a strange, somewhat random, file name (e.g. A234G53). When I say OK Excel just hangs and is unresponsive. The way that I can clear it is to stop Excel using Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling Acrobat without successfully solving the problem. Any ideas on how I can diagnose and/or solve the problem?
Thanks.

Is your Excel file on a location outside your machine's disk? If so, try copying to local disk.
Does the Excel file have any protection applied to it? If so, try removing the protection
If these don't work, can you post a sample file that demonstrates the problem.
