Install Workbook Precalculation Service

Hello,
I am trying to install the workbook precalculation service locally on my PC, but did not succeed up to now.
I have installed the following on my PC:
- Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1
- SAP Gui 6.40 (with extra patches)
- BW Workbook Precalculation Service (downloaded via the SAP Marketplace)
Allready installed:
- Windows XP
- Microsoft Excel 2000
After these installations I created a 'precalculation server' via transaction rsprecadmin.
Then I tried to start the service, but it was only started and then immediately stopped afterwards.
So although all installations seem to be done successfully, I did not succeed in starting this feature.
Could anyone give me any idea what I might do to get it right?
regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,
Sorry to not have been of help so far. If I understand correctly, the actual service on your PC is the source of the issue(?) If that's the case, and if the service dies soon after you start it, you may need to check that the UserID is OK to start services. Otherwise, you may just need to reinstall the program.
If the error is on the SAP side, you may want to confirm the SM59 connection - PREC_TH_PRECALC I think - to test communications.
Otherwise, this sounds like an issue for SAP Support!
Hope this is the fix for you.
Cheers,
Tim

Workbook precalculation service for 2004s

Anyone have a link to Workbook precalculation service for 2004s download. I found a link in SAP Marketplace for BW 3.5 but not for BI. Is there a separate download for BI or can I use the one for BW 3.5?

Hello Manoj,
Thanks for pointing to the correct version of Services.
I tried with the latest version of Services but nothing changed except the error message.
The error message while running from IB I get the error message, Precalculation failed: E The process cannot access the file "C:\WINDOWS\TEM
Cannot precalculate workbook ZNW20004S_PRECALC
and
While running the same from IBTCODE 'RSPRECADMIN' , I receive the document but its an empty document.
Any clue, whats wrong ?

Precalculation service

Hi guys,
I have installed precalculation service on a dedicated server. We are using BW 3.5 and I have installed the precalculation service version called: BWAPSERV12.
Well actually it works fine, but when it comes to the scheduling, I have some problems. When I schedule a job to run f.ex. every day at 6am it runs fine the first morning, but the following morning it doesn't run. When checking the status in RSPRECADMIN, the status is 'red'. I can then stop/start the service again, but the same issue follows at the next 2. run in the schedule... Any ideas?
Best regards
Andreas Madsen

Hi andreas, can u give me some more detials of ur server like, environement of the server u have installed, like that because, there are lot of issude regarding BW precalculation , after it has been installed.

Precalculation service - backward compatible?

Is the precalculation service backward compatible? E.g. Can I use precalc 7.10 latest patch with BW 3.5 or BW 7.0 system?
I would appreciate it if you could point to SAP literature that confirms / denies this.

This is the latest status for precalculation services as of today.
From a Windows server perspective, Precalculation 7.10 patch 801 works on Windows 2003 32 bit OS only. It is also supported on XP etc.
If you are on BW 3.5 , you must use precalculation 6.40
If you are on BW 7.0, you must use precalculation 7.10 patch 801 ( or higher if available ).
System Version     Object version used on the systems (ex. Queries, workbooks...)      Precal Version
SAPKW350##     3.5     Precalc Server 350
SAPKW700##     3.5     Precalc Server 7.10 patch 801      * in that case, you should install the KW addon 3.x for SAPGUI 7.10
SAPKW700##     7.0     Precalc Server 7.10 patch 801

BW Workbook Precalculation with Multiple BW Servers

Greetings,
We have recently set up a Windows 2003 server with the BW Precalculation service. We have successfully configured the precalculation service to attach to our BW Production server and it is functioning properly. We have workbooks that are precalculated and emailed each day.
As we develop new precalculation scenarios we would like to develop and test these in our BW Development system. However, I cannot get the existing Precalculation service to connect to both our BW Development server and our BW Production server. It will either attach to our BW Production server or our BW Development server but not both.
I've tried various combinations including...
deleting all BW calculation services from SPRO in both BW systems.
logging onto the server where the BW precalc service is running.
stopping the BW precalculation service
from the server, creating the SPRO configuration in both bw servers.
restarting the precalc service.
the precalc service will then attach to one of the bw servers but not both.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a single precalculation service handle requests from multiple BW systems? If so, could you please help me with the configuration steps?
Thanks in advance,
David Eady
Reporting Team Lead
SI Corporation

Thanks for the quick reply! I upgraded the BW precalc service to SP12 but still cannot attach the service to multiple BW instances. It will attach to one or the other but not both. Do you have any suggestions regarding the setup/configuration steps?
Thanks,
David.

Urgent-Precalculation Service: Unable to create instance

Gurus,
I did install the SAP BW Precalculation Service on my desktop and did configure the Precalculation Service under SPRO->Administrate Precalculation Server. And after all that, whenever I started the Precalculation Server (via services) from the desktop the server at the BW end used to turn green. Until here everything was working a week back BUT! I got on to it again today and when I try and start the service on my desktop, I get the following error:
<b>Application has generated an exception that could not be handled
Process id=0xefc (3836), thread id=0X84c(2124).</b>
And when I try to uninstall (hoping I could re-install), I cannot even uninstall the same instead I get a different error:
<b>Unable to create an instance of the com.sap.bi.et.precalcultion.BExPrecWindowsService.ProjectInstaller installer type.->Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation --> Security error.</b>
Can someone throw light on this please?

Update: is it possible that security rights to the Essbase directory would affect the Query Designer? On a machine that it works on, I've noticed that the "xla" file updates each time it is accessed.

Workbook - Precalculation server

Hi,
W consider publishing workbooks in our SAP BI Portal. (BW/NW Portal 7.0).
Is it mandatory to install the precalculation server or can we publish workbooks with out installing this server component?
- What's tha advantage/disadvantages?

Hello,
Yes, it is mandatory a precalc. Server if you want to publish Workbooks. There is no other way.
However, you can publish queries without a Precalculation Server.
So, you can publish the queries used on the workbooks without a precalc. server. This is only a workaround.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
Edward John

To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,
Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

HT1923 I'm trying to re-install itunes on my laptop & I am getting a message that has stopped the re-install & it says: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system servic

I'm trying to re-install itunes on my laptop & I am getting a message that has stopped the re-install & it says: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." The diaglogue box gives me the options to abort, retry, or ignore; when I tried retry and ignore the re-install process stays stalled & the dialogue box comes back & I don't want to abort & start this all over to probably end up with the same issue; what does this mean & what do I do?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
On pressing retry I got the same message.
On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
I hope you can advise me how to recover my backups

is this problem resolved ? - this seems related to DB/OS (e.g., if largefiles not enabled then the datafile cannot grow beyond 2GB and file resets)
or something like that which SAPinst is not equipped to handle and does not give a better error message
the system.log in the sapinst_instdir may have some clues
