Launch of BEx Analyzer via RRMX, other transaction?

Transaction RRMX has been a common means for us to launch the BEx Analyzer in our BW 3.x system. After upgrading to NW04s, transaction RRMX continues to call the 3.x BEx Analyzer. Is there a way to have this call the new NW04s (7.0) BEx Analyzer or perhaps to call it from a different backend transaction?
Regards,
Rod

Hi Bala
We have upgraded our development box to 2004S including front end ( SP9 and FEP 903). As we are not able to perform old 3.5 functionalities in 2004S with FEP 903 we have decided to go back to 3.x Bex Analyzer.
As you explained below, can you please shred some light how to configure to launch only 3.x BEx anayzer from START->PROGRAM->BUISNESS EXPLORER. We dont want to see the 2004S BEx analyzer if we navigate from START menu.
I am able to bring 3.X analyzer through RRMX after making changes in the GLOBAL SETTINGS as you said.
I am not able to locate Analyzer under BEx in my PC as you mentioned below.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\BEx\Analyzer]
"LAUNCH_VERSION"="LEGACY
Can you provide me more details for the sentence "For non NW04s BW system to launch only 3.x BEX, there is a fix that need to be applied to the backend system" as you mentioned previously.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Please Help -- Launch of BEx Analyzer via RRMX?

We have users who access SAP BW reports and are having problem accessing the reports.The cause for this is the latest version of Business Explorer Release 2004's 7004.4.0.5. According to corporate standards, users need to have Business Explorer 3.5 version only and this will be supported correctly.
How do we configure to launch only 3.x BEx anayzer from RRMX?
We dont want to see the 2004S BEx analyzer.
I am able to bring 3.X analyzer through RRMX after making changes in the GLOBAL SETTINGS for individual user.
How can we do this setting on every PC in the company without going to each PC and fixing it? We have around 800 users.

Hi
I am trying to find out what version we are in SAP BW. I tried to go to tcode - SAINT or SPAM or RSA1-->system status to find the version (SP>=10) as per Chetan.
It was bit confusing for me to see which the right SP was. I have asked the basis to give me update on this.
If we are in SP>=10, who would do the changes? Can you please let me know?
I would like to thank every body who are helping me. I would give more points once I am able to solve this.
Thanks again.

Automated start of Excel BEx Analyzer via Web VBScript

Hi all,
at first... all the versions:
SAPGUI 6.40 Patch Level 19, BW 3.5 Addon Patch 9, BI 7.0 with NetWeaver 2004s, Excel 2002 SP3.
I got the following working code to start Excel out of our Intranet, start the BEx Analyzer and connect to our BW:
<html>
<head>
<title>Excel Script</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
sub bwreport()
Dim app
Dim myConnection ' As Object
Dim logonToBW2 ' As Boolean
' Launch Excel
set app = createobject("Excel.Application")
' Make it visible
app.Visible = true

app.Workbooks.Open("C:ProgrammeSAPFrontEndBWsapbex.xla")
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!sapBEXinit")
' Logon to BW
logonToBW2 = False
Set myConnection = app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXgetConnection")
With myConnection
.client = "001"

end sub
</SCRIPT>
<P> </P>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick= "bwreport()">Alternative Excel</button>
</body>
</html>
I'm still working on two issues here and hope you can help me:
1.
app.Workbooks.Open("C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\BW\sapbex.xla")
The Webscript will be used by many BW-Users so the full installation path is not the same for all users. Is there a way to start the Analyzer without the full path ?
When I start Excel with "Excel.Application" via OLE out of my Script, then BEx is not automatically loaded, that's why I need the above line.
But when I start Excel manually, it's loaded automatically. So there has to be some way Excel "knows" the location of an installed BEx Add-In. Maybe there is some addition to say Excel to start all it's usual Add-Ins, or to start in standard behaviour ?
2.
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!sapBEXinit")
Before I added this line, I always got the BEx Analyzer title "xxxsapbexxxx" and was unable to use any macros or functionality of the BEx Analyzer.
I found hints and code examples to use "RunAutoMacros" so sapbex.xla is fully initialized but wasn't able to make it work in my code.
So I checked the macros of sapbex.xla and "sapBEXinit" seems to do the job although I'm not sure if this is a complete/clean initialization of the sapbex.
Thx,
Thomas

Welcome to SDN.
First of all thanks for sharing the script, good work.
coming to your first question.
you can get the path by reading the system registry
its under <b>"SAP.BusinessExplorer.Analyzer\path"</b>
if you analyze the FM "RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL" in BW system, you can get the logic for your script.

Using Bex Analyzer via internet

Hello experts,
I have BW 3.5 and do not have portal. I want users travelling in various locations to access / run queries via internet. Some queries are static (updated once a day) and some are dynamic (structure updated every 15 min). What all steps do I take to acheive this?
Any help would be rewarded with points.
Thanks
UV

Hi UV,
Ok..Here are the steps to create a simple web report:
1. Create a quesry on your cube. Goto bex analyzer and just drag and drop a few chars in the rows and columns sections and save.
2. Now goto start -> programs -> business explorer -> web application designer.
3. In the WAD drag and drop table web item (you would find lots of them like table, chart, etc..) to the rightr hand side.
4. Now below the web items you would find the properties tab. Now in the properties for the table select the query that you created. Save.
5. There is a button in WAD to execute the report in browser. Execute and check.
Bye

Query Jump from Bex Analyzer to r/3 transactions: error of web server

Hello,
I have created a query jump in the RSBBS transaction to go in R/3 through a Bex Query. When i choose the jump in the query anayzer I have the error message:
<b>No Web server maintained for the presentation of log. system.</b>
Do you have ever had this message? what is the solution? why do my bex anayzer use a web interface to connect in R/3?
Thanks a lot!

Hi
this may be possible by using an openDocument URL.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf
Still you have to configure the auhtentication connectivity between BOBJ and SAP Backend in the BOBJ CMC console.
And setup the SSO option in the database configuration panel of your CR reports (this has also to be done in the CMC, just go to Folders, navigate to your report and invoke the context menu. You have to scroll to the the bottom of the panel in order to find the SSP option)

Error when launching BEx analyzer from Portals

BI Gurus...
We are working on an initiative to migrate our user interface from SAP GUI to Enterprise Portal.
Bex Analyzer is primary mode of reporting at this time.
After importing the Roles into EP, I am able to execute the web queries successfully, in the BEx Wen analyzer. But, I get an error when I click on any of the excel workbooks. Our expectation was that once we click on the excel workbook name, the BEx analyzer will launch from EP. But it seems like the issue is with launching BEx Analyzer from BI Portal.
Has anyone faced this issue before?
Is it possible to launch BEx Analyzer from EP?
Are their some key portal settings we have missed out on to enable launching BEx analyzer from EP?
Please provide your thoughts/experience.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi WernerS,
Thanks for your response.
The RRMXP Transaction works and it launching the BEx Analyzer as expected.
Now, as per our research, I think there are 2 ways of launching BEx analyzer from BI Portals.
1) Call via a URL
You can call BEx Analyzer via the following URL: http(s)://<server:port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/rsr_bex_launch/bexanalyzerportalwrapper.htm
You can modify the URL to open BEx Analyzer with either a workbook, a query or a query view. You can use the following parameters to do this:
●      Parameter to open the workbook: ?WBID=<wb_id>
I have tried calling via URL iView, but instead of launching the BEx Analyzer, it just throws a dialog box to "save" or "open" a file, RRMX.bex. When I try to open this file, it says "Invalid File Format".
I tried opening the file in notepad and I see the following parameters passed.
           test
           Data=BX2,CONAJP,EN,mikoyan,17,,,250,
           9
Any clue about what I am doing wrong?
2) Calling via a Transaction
You can generate BEx Analyzer in Portal Content Studio as an SAP Transaction iView.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.app integrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction Code (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
●      The Transaction Code for all workbooks is RRMXP.
●      The ApplicationParameter property contains the value WBID=<WORKBOOK_ID>.
I have tried this approach as well. When I open this iView, I see the RRMXP transaction in the Internet explorer, but the workbooks still does not open in the BEx Analyzer (Excel)
Any thoughts on where am I going wrong ?
Thanks,
Ajay.

SAPBEXgetConnection doesn't return proper values when BEX is open via RRMX

had to put a lot of interactivity in some workbook based on the user profile and going far beyond the simple authorisation objects.
Following the advice of some specialists such as Peter Knoer, I used the following code to get the user connection details:
<i>Set myConnection = Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXgetConnection")
With myConnection ' call the connection
Sheets("BAPI").Cells(27, 2).Value = myConnection.Client
Sheets("BAPI").Cells(28, 2).Value = myConnection.User
Sheets("BAPI").Cells(29, 2).Value = myConnection.language
Sheets("BAPI").Cells(30, 2).Value = myConnection.SystemNumber
Sheets("BAPI").Cells(31, 2).Value = myConnection.System
Sheets("BAPI").Cells(32, 2).Value = myConnection.ApplicationServer
End With</i>
Everything works fine as long as the user first launch BEX and connect directly in BEX.
This command function fails if BEX is launch from SAP EasyAccess Menu via the RRMX transaction.
Any clue why this function does not work in the case of a launch via RRMX?
I tried several alternative, is there a better Function to use to get all the user connection details in this case?
thanks for your insights on this point.

Doubts about the advantages and disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

Hi people!
Do you know in specific. What are the advantages and disadvantages of BEx Analyzer?
and Do you know the limitations and scope of the bex analyzer?
Talking about the security issue. What kind of resticciones be applied to end-users to control information. Protecting system
resources and the information that the user uses, not be manipulated.
I hope you could answer my doubts

Hi!
The standard BEx BI 3.x tools, is no longer available with the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI tools; however, it is part of the SAP BI add-on installation that, by default, will install the BW 3.x tools along with the newer BI 7.0 tools.
We want to prevent unauthorized download of data to excel sheets from users who have installed bex analyzer but are not authorized to do that. Certain users only have to access querys from web and shouldn't have to use reports from bex analyzer.
The only accepted way to access reports for all users is by using web querys published in our intranet. But many users have bex analyzer installed and we don't want that an unauthorized user download data to a excel sheet via bex analyzer.
I'm testing with one user with this roles, but bex web template and bex analyzer have similiar object authorizations, and i don't know if is possible prevent unauthorized download of data from excel sheets.
Final users don't access to bex analyzer by rrmx transaction
Until know i'm testing with this user roles:
1. ZBW:BEX_WEB:RFC (for web templates)
S_RFC:
ACTVT: 16

please take in count this points:
1. Prevent unauthorized download of data to excel sheets from users that should have accees only querys from web not bex analyzer (very important this point)=
2. what are the disadvantages of BEx Analyzer, if only if limited by excel...from other point like performance, workprocess with long runtimes, memory issues, for said something.
I don't know if i'm going by good way.
Somebody could help me?

check if you are to logon to Query designer for the same system and client. I guess you will not be able to correct.
Most probably, entry for the system is missing in the ini file. check if you are able to connect to Bex analyzer on some other system. If yes, copy the INI file from that system to your system.
you should be able to ini file

BW on HANA Trial - Using BEx Analyzer

Hello,
is my assumption correct that it is not possible to use BEx Analyzer with the BW on HANA Trial?
When I try to start BEx Analyzer via remote desktop of my instance nothing happened. Also I found a comment that there is a license problem with micrsoft und that´s the reason why it doesn´t work.
Do you know any workarround to use BEx Analyzer or Analysis for Office with BW on HANA Trial?
Thanks for your help!
Christine

Hello Christina,
the private network option will be offered when you setup your AWS account with the VPC settings.
More details can be found in the FAQ section.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-33673
if you want to use your local GUI you will have to open the corresponding ports in the Virtual Machine settings.
I would also like to highlight the fact, that this is a Trial and that - based on the Terms and Conditions - you can not upload your own data and you can not connect it to your own ERP systems.
see the restrictions here:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-58120
A trial is there for you to experience the software based on the predefined scenarios.

Different in viewing the query in query designer and bex analyzer in BW Prd

hello...i transported the query from bw dev into bw prod successfully. when i view the query using query designer in prod, the query is the same copy of query in bw dev and QA but when i view the same query under the bex analyzer in prod, the query is not the same.
the correct query should be able to see 3 mandatory variable input but when i view it under the bex analyzer, only 1 mandatory variable can be seen here. Whereas when i view it under query designer, i can see the 3 mandatory variable being define there. And this query is assigned in one of the role as well.
any idea on this? thanks!!!

i checked in rsrt in sap, the personalization of the variable is not in yellow color, i can see the 3 variable in bex analyzer but the other 2 variable which is a mandatory field input for that query appear as optional variable input instead of the mandatory field input...

Start BEX via RRMX doesn't work

Hello
BW 3.5 /SAP GU 6.2
It is possible to access bex via system-> program-> BEx -> analyzer.
However transaction RRMX doesn't start BEX . There is also no error message. But the EXCEL Process starts ( seen in the Windows Task Manager) and disappears immediately.
I have also checked authorization, where everything is ok.
Please has anyone a good idea how to solve or at least some investigation ideas.
Best regards

Hello
Thanks a lot of your answer. Perhaps I didnt write all important information on this issue down.
It is a user, who is not able to start Bex via RRMX. However when I start RRMX it works perfectly and we are on the same platform.
Do you have another idea?

Hello,
R u working as Security consultant or BI developer.
If you are a BI developer you dont have access to Auth objects S_RFC.
If you are security consultant you have access and to look where for S_RFC.
I dont know how your roles organaized.But try this way.
1. gO TO TRANSACTION SUIM
2. select ROLES.
3. Under roles select Roles by Complex Selection Criteria.
4. Under this go to 4 th box Selection by profiles and Authorization Objects
5. enter S_RFC in Authorization Object.
and execute.Then you get all the roles in which S_RFC is there.
Then see the roles of the user for whoom RRMX does not work.
and match the role to the selection criteria and make the changes to S_RFC in the role.
generate role and save.
If you are not security consultant u dont have access to any of these.
Consult u r basis or security team and tell them to check the values of S_RFC.

TRYING TO LAUNCH BEx ANALYZER FROM R3 SYSTEM, WITHOUT LOGIN AGAIN...

Hi mates,
We are trying to launch BEx Analyzer, with a Program/Function from R3 System, using an RFC.
1.- We create a program in R3 system (4.6c), in that program we try to call BW (SAP BI 7.0, SP18), with:
        - CALL FUNCTION 'RSAH_LAUNCH_TRANSACTION_SLAVE'
          DESTINATION **RFC TO BW**
         EXPORTING
        TRANSACTION                  = 'RRMX'
or
       - CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_CALL_TRANSACTION_USING'
          DESTINATION **RFC TO BW**
             EXPORTING
               tcode                         = 'RRMX'
               mode                          = 'N'
With that, or calling an Z transaction, with an Z program, and calling the next functions in the BW program:
         'RSSEM_QUERY_LAUNCH'
         'RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL'
         With o without setting Infoprovider and Query or Workbook in the functions.
The result was the same:
1.- R3 call BW - OK
2.- BW call BEx ANALYZER/EXCEL - OK
3.- Analyzer shows, but the user have to login again in BEx Analyzer to open queries or workbooks, and that step we are trying to hide to the users.
We need that users call BEx ANALYZER from R3 to BW using an R3 program or transaction, without login again into BW or BEx, but it seems like there is a problem with ANALYZER, RRMX (and its functions) and SSO.
RFC works fine, and is "trusted". Remote connection and Test Connection works OK.
If you make a REMOTE ACCCES with the RFC, and call RRMX, the result is the same, you have to login again in BEx Analyzer, to open queries or workbooks...
We think, must be something wrong with the SSO, or the SSO with BWE and BEx Analyzer, i mean something wrong with the standar or versions.
We tryied with:
1.- BIAddon 9 in Excel 2007
2.- BIAddon 6 in Excel 2003.
We really appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Bruno.

Launching BeX Analyzer from BeX Query Designer

Hi,
We are using BeX Frontend version 7.x.
In the Query Designer, when you presss the 'Execute' button, it generally opens the report on the web (calls the portal). Is there any way to change this so that when you press 'Execute', it runs the report on the BeX Analyzer?
Best Regards,
Rajib

Hello...
I regret to inform you, there is no way to do such a thing.
You cannot call via "Query Designer" the "BEx Analyzer".
I don't thing my suggestion is very helpful, but as workaround, you can call via SAPGUI, with transaction RMMX.
I personally suggest you to install and use the BI Java stack, since the BI 7.0 addons was designed to work together with an BI Java Portal.
Thanks...
Best regards,
Edward John
