Inactive menu "PC check" in Business Explorer

Hello BI expert,
I 've installed SAPGUI 7.10 patch 4, BW 3.5 addon patch 2 and BI 710 addon patch 300 on pc (window XP SP2, Excel 2002 SP3.
In the Bex Analyser, the entries tab PC check (and Browser, Web Application Designer) into the Business Explorer are not active (displayed as pale gray) ?
Files sapbexc350710.xla and sapbexc710.xla are present in C:\Program Files\...\SAP Shared\BW and the results is correct when I execute then directly.
But I don't understand why it is not possible to launch them by menu into the BusinessExplorer.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Daniel.

Hi,
Problem with the installation of these files.I will recommend you to uninstall the GUI and frontend patch and reapply it again.
Ensure that you meet all the prerequisite for GUI 7.10 See note 1025122,1050605.

I'm using BEx Analyzer and tring to disable some controls in BEx toolbar.

BI 7.0 Business explorer / analyzer Can't open queries

Hi, I recently upgrade our 3.0B sandbox to BI 7.0. When I run "start" -> "Programs" -> Business explorer -> analyzer Excel bex tool launches but when I click on the folder to open queries (Offnen open) Nothing comes up. However, if I am logged into the BI 7.0 system and lanuch RRMX excel comes up with the Business explorer tool bar. I re-read the upgrade guide and could not find out if I am supposed to run a conversion program or this is the default behavior.
Thanks in Advance
--- Steve

Hi PG. When I run transaction RRMX from within SAP gui while logged into BI 7.0, Excel launches and I get the Business Explorer tool bar. I have the options "open" "save" "refresh query" Back" "change query" "goto" "Olap Functions ..." "format" "layout" "tools" "settings" and "help" Under Settings I don't have "Launch Legacy Version from RRMX".
I clicked on help -> about and it showing me finall release 3.5. Shouldn't it read 7.0?
The installation of sap gui with BW add on was done with DVD 50083078 SAP NetWaver 2004s presentation SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 comp 1.
If I click on "Start" "All Programs" "Business Explorer" "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x) -> Analyzer (BW 3.x) it's also showing version release 3.5 but the Business explorer tool bar is there. If from the excel menu I click Business Explorer -> Installation check I get the message 12 red signed Files found , 14 yellow signed Files found, please check SAPSETUP.LOG in c:\windows. See note 197460 from more details. I can't find the sapsetup.log anywhere (supposed to be under c:\windows). Note 197460 refers to the check I just ran. The note also mentions Red files have to be manually registered, so it looks like I will either have to find a newer release or have a lot of work to do

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!

CRM - Process Flow of Authorization Check in Business Transactions

Hello Folks:
I have implemented CRM security using Process Flow of Authorization Check in Business Transactions.
What I have in place:
CRM_ORD_OP (inactive, don't want access to own documents)
CRM_ORD_LP (inactive, not using standard org level values Distribution Channel, Sales Group, Sales Office, Sales Organization, and Service Organization.)
CRM_ACT (active)
CRM_CMP (active)
CRM_ORD_OE (active, restricted to display with dummy value ' ' for Distribution Channel
Sales Group, Sales Office, Sales Organization and Service Organization, as we are not restricting on them)
CRM_ORD_PR (active and restricted to display)
Issue:
Restrictions to display for documents works fine when using CRM backend system and the system throws out a message that you are not authorized to change. But, when i come in through Portals (PCUI), i dont get the display at all and it throws out a message insufficient access authorizations.
Traces on backend CRM reveal failing on change access for CRM_ORD_LP and CRM_ORD_PR, which we dont want to give out b/c we dont want to provide change for documents.
OSS notes to SAP have resulted in no results....please advise what is wrong here.
Thanks
KT

Thanks for the Priyanka for the reply, but what you mention is not correct.
BSP errors are different from what I am refering to.
The issue is still open...and looks like a SAP bug, which even they havent been able to fix so far.

Spry horizontal menu goes wrong in Internet Explorer

I have designed the start of a site and the client is pleased, except that for some reason the Spry menu goes bananas in Internet Explorer 8. I have checked it in Safari, Opera, Firefox and Chrome and it looks fine. Earlier in the design process I was having some issues with a gap at the end of the horizontal menu, but with persistance I managed to cure this. According to DreamWeaver there is an issue with line 70 of the CSS file :-
#footer {
    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    color: #FDCB00;
    background-color: #333;
    height: 30px;
    width: 900px;
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0px;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 9px;
    letter-spacing: .3em;
    border-top-width: thin;
    border-top-style: ridge;
    border-top-color: #999;
....   but I can't see what is wrong with this. This relates to the footer which ironically behaves fine. I have just upgrade IE8 to IE9, but this hasn't helped.
I am fairly desperate to finish this site but can't until I find what is wrong. I've not seen this problem before and the DW diagnosis isn't helping me.
Here's a link http://www.tattoo-bristol.co.uk/
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Have a look at the following piece of code in your modified CSS file
BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
/* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1010;
    filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
    background-color: #000;
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
    display: inline;
    f\loat: none;
    background-color: #F00;
You have changed the latter two highlighted lines, which you must have done because you felt that you are an expert.
Sorry to disappoint, because the last highlighted line is where the problem lies. If you replace the f/loat value back to the original left, your problem will have disappeared.

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

BI7 Business Explorer Installation Problem

I am new to BI, after install SAPGUI Front End and SAPBIGUI and then install BI7.10 Business Explorer 1000 patch. However when I go to Program -> Business Explorer -> Analyzer, an Excel pop up, click on the Bex Toolbox ("xxxBEx Analysis Toolboxxxx") Open icon, an foreign language label show "Offnen" , double click, no response. Move over other icon show like German "Sichern" "Atkualisieren" "Werkzenge".
Normally, it should allow me to click, and let me select "Open Query" or "open Workbook", however if I use the BW 3.x, it works fine.
Please let me know what goes wrong.
Thanks a lot

I got the answer from below link

No update of Business Explorer 3.50 and SCM via Installation Server 6.40

Dear all
We use SAP Installation Server 6.40 to deploy SAP Front End 6.40 and updates. For new installations, target systems will get the latest version of SAP GUI 6.40 (PL 27), Business Explorer 3.50 (PL 13) and Supply Chain Management add-on (PL 6).
On existing installations only SAP GUI will be patched resp. updated. Business Explorer 3.50 and Supply Chain Management add-on will not be patched by Installation Server. We have checked this by local installation of patch (patch level 13, your present patch level 4). What is going wrong? Has anyone a hint how I can solve this problem?
Thanks
PK

Hi. I'm think first you need to chek this :
Viewing the Log
Use
You can check the installation by viewing the log file sapsetup.log. The log file can be found in:
C:\WINDOWS\ under Windows XP
C:\WINNT\ under Windows 2000
The most recent log has no number. The older logs are numbered. The higher the number, the older the log. Each time new log is generated, each of the log numbers is incremented by 1.
Procedure
1. Run saplogvw.exe from the server, to start the SAPSetup Log Viewer.
2. Enter the path and filename of the log file.
3. Choose Finish.
The log file is displayed. Errors are colored red. Warnings are colored blue.
Also run this in command line
sapsetup.exe /check
Regards.

InfoObject - Business Explorer Tab and field Authorization Relevant

Is their a SAP utility / table / or transaction which can identify a field flagged on InfoObjects.
I would like to determine all active InfoObjects which have the "authorization relevant" flagged on the
InfoObject - Business Explorer tab.
Version 7.0
Thank you ...... dan

Hi Dan,
trIf you have used old analysis authorizations of BW3.5, in transaction RSSM if you click on Check authorization infoobjects for all infoproviders you should find a list of all authorization object which are in productive use.
However, it does not give you the list of object which are marked as authorization relevant and have not been used in any productive cubes.
Try table RSDCHA in se16. CHARNM - Put your char name and in OBJVERS put A. Authorization relevant flag would be 'X', if it is marked for authorization relevance.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Sunmit.

Business Explorer crashing excel

Hello,
Each time I attempt to start Business Explorer Analyzer it crashes Excel before Excel will fully load.
This morning it worked, but between this morning and now I installed the following files to the Excel startup folder: Personal.xls, book.xlt, sheet.xlt, and toolbar.xlb.
After I installed these files to the startup folder, BEx analyzer started crashing Excel.
I have since removed all of these four files, but now BEx analyzer still crashes excel on load each time, and I cannot find any way around this.
Please help. Thanks,
Jon

hi Jon,
what's the 'red' status ? something dll file ? you may try to re-install bw add-on or re-register the files,
check if oss 615800 may help.
oss message is a message we create and send to sap to report error found and through sap propose solution, service.sap.com/message, need id, you can ask basis for one.
please don't forget to reward helpful answers.
ps. Peter is our bw frontend expert (especially excel, vba)
oss note
Symptom
After upgrade of a BW Frontend installation from a 4.6 GUI (BW 2.x)
to a 620 GUI (BW 3.x), the frontend check program sapbexc.xla
causes a memory-Access violation / Dr. Watson on execution
on verification of the wdttree.ocx
The Query-Designer causes a similar memory Access violation.
Other terms
wdttree.ocx, sapfwdraw.dll, sapfewrm.dll, sapfhook.dll, sapfewut.dll
sapbexc.xla, Bex Analyzer, Bex Query Designer
Reason and Prerequisites
The removal of the 4.6C/D gui was incomplete.
A number of DLL's have remained in system libary path (c:\winnt\system32.exe).
The 620 Frontend attempts to load several dll's formerly shipped with the 46C gui if started from BW-Programs (presumably in non-new visual design mode).
The SAPGUi relies on these DLL's beeing no longer present.
In the specific case, the following DLL's were still present in the c:\winnt\system32 directory in a 46 version (Right mouse-> Properties -> Version 46xx.x.xx.xxx ).
c:\winnt\system32\sapfhook.dll
c:\winnt\system32\sapfewrm.dll
c:\winnt\system32\sapfdraw.dll
c:\winnt\system32\sapfewut.dll
Solution
Case specific solution:
Remove the remainders of the 46C/D gui installation:
Unregister the files by executing the following steps from the
commandline ( or via a script).
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfhook.dll
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfewrm.dll
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfdraw.dll
regsvr32 /u c:\winnt\system32\sapfewut.dll
Subsequentlyremove them from the library directories.
General Solution:
1). Remove all 4.6C DLL's prior to installation of the
620 GUI. Refer to the SAPInstall-Documentation for this process.
2) Verify that all sap components have been removed from the PC.
Check specifically the c:\winnt\system32 directory for components
labelled sap.dll or sap.ocx.
Check via the respective properties whether the components is
a) delivered by SAP ( Manufacturer ).
b) part of the 46 Setup ( Version 46xx.xxx.xxx.xxx ) .
2.1) Manually unregister these components by the script above.
(regsvr32 /u <yourdll/ocx> ). Note that some DLL's need not/cannot
be unregistered, this is not a cause for alarm.
2.2) Remove them from the pc ( keeping a backup).
2.3)(optional) You may want to run Dlister.exe ( See Note 585643 ) to check for suspicious dll's of potentially SAP origin. Look for dlls with an sap versioning pattern (SAPGui 46xx.x.x.x, BW 3xxx.x.x.x).
3) Install the 620 SAPGui and the 3.x BW Frontend.
Please refer to the respective documentation. Note that there have been changes to some commandline options for the sapinst setup.
The 620 GUI/3.x BW should bring all SAP components required for a clean installation on a new PC.
