Login pop up when downloading BW query to Excel in Portal

I have published several BW queries as iViews in the EP 6.0. I have SSO set up between the BW and the EP 6.0 and viewing the queries on the Portal works fine.
However, when I open the queries in Excel or download them to Excel, a pop up box promting the user for a login keeps appearing. This only happens with queries that contain images, for example hierarchical queries contain little arrow .gifs for expanding and collapsing hierarchies - queries without images don't promt for a login. The behavior is very annoying since one pop up is generated for every image and you have to click ok or cancel 100 times before you are finally able to view the content in Excel.
Can anyone tell me what to do to prevent this from happening? Can the images be put in a public part of the BW Server that doesn't require a login or can the images somehow be downloaded to Excel or even be totally ignored?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Nicole

  • Error 'Unable to open file' when downloading SAP Query to Excel

    Hi all
    I'm running a SAP Query which is set to download straight to a spreadsheet (Pivot Table / Microsoft Excel).  Intermittently it does not work -  apparently at random (at least, I've can't recreate the error at will).
    It does one of the following:
    - Works ok, and creates the pivot table
    - Gives an Excel error message 'Unable to open file', then returns to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup when enter is pressed on the error.
    - Does not issue error message, just goes to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup.
    In the last two cases, the excel pivot table sheet is not created.
    Has anyone seen anything similar, or have any idea as to what is causing the problem?
    Any help gratefully received!
    Not urgent as I've found a way round -  further testing seems to show that I don't get the error is Excel is already open - but in the past I've run many SAP query downloads without needing to open Excel first.  I suppose it's possible that this is just something to do with the Excel setup at the user site

    Hi,
    Ensure that file name with same name and in same path should not be open while saving the data.
    Award if it helps.

  • Is there a setting to automatically close the "please wait while we generate your document" page that pops up when downloading a pdf file?

    I am constantly downloading pdf's and excel files from our company software which uses a web browser to access it. When I download a file, firefox generates a full screen pop up window that states "please wait while we generate your document." My problem with it is the fact that pop up window does not close after the download. I have to manually close the window. Is there a way to set that pop up window to close automatically after the file has finished downloading and is open in foxit reader or excel or word or whatever?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Hi,
    You could try is to '''Disable''' the Foxit, Adobe and Office '''Plugins''' in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' and use the normal Firefox Open with (when you click on a link) to browse/open it in the required application.

  • Login pop-up when launching Webdynpro ABAP application from SAP Inbox

    Hello All,

  • How to correct UTF8 when download to csv or excel

    Hi,
    when download function in IR to export to csv or excel, how to keep utf8 characters correctly ?

    "hlthanh",
    If you want the CSV download to always be encoded in utf-8, then you should set the application-level attribute "Automatic CSV Encoding" to No.

  • Avoid essbase login pop up when using API

    HI,
    I have written a vb macro to retrieve data from essbase using APIs. I have used EssVConnect. Eventhough i give the server,username and password to a variable and execute the procedure, the essbase login screen appears. I want to avoid this as this code would be used for automation. Please help me in doing so. The retrieval code which is part of the automation code is here below. Here the sheet name, application name and the database name is read from another worksheet and assigned to the variables sheetName , AppName and DBName. The Cache here is the application name and database name which are assigned is to the variables AppName and DBName is highlighted in the essbase login popup. And if i modify the variable Server1 to server the procedure stops running. it says login failed due to insufficient credentials. But i use admin user.
    Declare Function EssVConnect Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" (ByVal sheetName As _
    Variant, ByVal UserName As Variant, ByVal Password As Variant, ByVal Server _
    As Variant, ByVal application As Variant, ByVal database As Variant) As _
    Long
    Declare Function EssVRetrieve Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" (ByVal sheetName As _

    sts = EssVConnect(sheetName, UserName, Password, Server, AppName, DbName)
    If sts = 0 Then
    x = EssVRetrieve(sheetName, Null, 1)
    If x = 0 Then
    Y = EssVDisconnect(sheetName)
    If Y <> 0 Then
    GoTo ErrHan

    Hi,
    Thanks for your responses. Server variable problem is secondary. I have a excel worksheet in this format
    ApplicationName     DatabaseName     SheetName
    RetilPOC     Plan1     Sheet2
    RetilPOC     Plan2     Sheet3
    RetilPOC     Plan3     Sheet4
    The application name,database name and sheet name are read by a procedure from this worksheet row by row and passed as a parameter to the procedure "RetrieveData".My primary objective is to login to the essbase application and database which are passed as parameters from the procedure which invokes the procedure "RetrieveData" without the essbase login screen coming up. How can i do it automatically?The user shouldn't keep typing the username and password. The procedure should read the login credentials from the variables and login automatically. How do i need to modify my code to achieve this?

  • Getting ERROR when downloading alv output to Excel

    Hello All,
    I get a error message when I try to use the standard funtionality to download the alv output to excel.
    The current statement only supports character-type data objects.
    What happened?
    The current ABAP/4 program "SAPLKKBL " had to be terminated because
    one of the statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP/4 program.
    Error analysis
    In statement
       "STRLEN( obj )..."
    the argument "obj" can only take a character-type data object.
    Source code extract
    038620   *   ansonsten entspricht sich min. Ausgabelänge und Ausprägungslänge
    038630       else.
    038640         if gs_fc-tech_form ne 99.
         >           gs_out-hlplen = strlen(  ).
    038660         endif.
    038670       endif.
    In this case, the operand "obj" has the non-character type "I".
    Please can anyone put some light on this. It is veru difficult to go through the whole std functionality to download.
    Thanks for all support guys!
    Sri.

    Hi srikanth,
    This error comes because the values present in any one of the displayed coloums containing special character like * present before or after the number....  i.e  instead of 4 ...**4.
    While displaying in the screen it is of no problem. since both *4 are converted into char format (internally) and gets displayed.
    But while you download the same throu the EXCEL functionality SAP will intenally convert the same into NUMERIC format. Since 4 is number.
    So in that case *4 will cause dump.
    *So find out the place in which the value appearing like this *4 and try to correct it.
    *Surely it is of Field LENGTH problem. Try to increase the length of the field 4.
    It Should WORK.!!!..  else post ur query here.

  • Display of leading zeroes when downloaded from ALV to excel

    Hi All,
    I have a problem in ALV grid display.
    There is a specific field which has value starting from '001' to '999'. This is a char(3) type of variable.
    The problem is that the display shows the value as '001' which is correct. but when the same file is dwnloaded to excel using standard SAP functionality, the value of the field gets changed to '1' instead of '001'.
    Is there any option by which this can be controlled. Please let me know, its urgent!!
    thanks

    hi Ankur,
    the Excel download is done by Z program? IF yes you have to do:
       SET PROPERTY OF go_cell 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
    this will set the Excel cell to Text type and leading zeros won't be lost.

  • Column Aliases not working when using MS Query into Excel?

    I setup an Oracle ODBC connection from my desktop to an Oracle 9i DB, and created an MS Query sql:
    select sysdate as "Today" from dual;
    When I tried to run it and return it to Excel, it would ignore the column alias of 'Today' and keep putting in 'SYSDATE' as the column header.
    SYSDATE
    ==========================
    2007-04-18 11:55:54
    What I expected was:
    TODAY
    ==========================
    2007-04-18 11:55:54
    I've read some other reports out there on the web and tried changing a registry entry per the MSDN knowledge base, but that didn't help. Several of the existing threads in this forum only refer to exporting directly to an Excel file from Oracle, rather than pulling the information from the db into excel using an abstraction layer such as ODBC (ADO would be similar I'm sure).
    Just curious if other Oracle SQL guys have run into this same problem. I'm sure somebody's had to use a column alias in their Oracle->Excel results before..

    Are you using SQL plus? Have you tried Oracle's SQL
    developer? It is free, does not require an install
    on your computer (you can run it from a flash drive),
    and it exports pretty smoothly to excel.I'm not using SQL Plus -- this was purely excel / ODBC as the client and Oracle as the database layer.
    I had looked at SQL Developer, along with DB Visualizer (along the same lines , as a sql gui with some export capability to .csv and excel formats). However, I don't think it quite served my purpose in trying to have a workable data-source where I could pull from Excel and use VBScript or C# to do the manipulation and customized reporting/charting/pivot-tabling.
    My eventual workaround was to bypass MS Query altogether for creating the 'external data table' in Excel, and instead create the query through code.

  • Issues when Downloading Large Datasets to Excel and CSV

    Hi,
    Hoping someone could lend a hand on the issues described below.
    I have a prompted dahsboard that, dependent upon prompts selected, can return detail datasets. THe intent of this dashboard is to AVOID giving end users Answers Access, but still providing the ability to pull large amounts of detail data in an ad-hoc fashion. When large datasets are returned, end users will download the data to thier local machines and use excel for further analysis. I have tried two options:
    1) Download to CSV
    2) Download data to Excel
    For my test, I am uses the dashboard prompts to return 1 years (2009) worth of order data for North America, down to the day level of granularity. Yes alot of detail data...but this is what many "dataheads" at my organization are requesting...(despite best efforts to evangelize the power of OBIEE to do the aggregation for them...). I expext this report to return somewhere around 200k rows...
    Here are the results:
    1) Download to CSV
    Filesize: 78MB
    Opening the downloaded file is failrly quick...
    126k rows are present in the CSV file...but the dataset abruptly ends in Q3(August) 2009. The following error appears at the end of the incomplete dataset:
    <div><script language="javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/browserdom.js"></script><script language="javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/common.js"></script><div class="ErrorMessage">Odbc driver returned an error (SQLFetchScroll).</div><div style="margin-top:2pt" onclick="SAWMoreInfo(event); return false;"><img class="ErrorExpanderImg" border="0" src="res/sk_oracle10/common/errorplus.gif" align="absmiddle">  Error Details<div style="margin-left:15px;display:none" compresssrc="res/sk_oracle10/common/errorminus.gif">

    2) Download to Excel
    Filesize: 46MB
    Opening the Excel file is extremely painful...over 20 minutes to open the file...making excel unusable during the opening process...defeinately not acceptable for end users.
    When opened the file contains only 65k rows...when there should be over 200k...
    Can you please help me understand the limitations of detail data output (downloading) from OBIEE...or provide workarounds for the circumstances above?
    Thanks so much in advance.

    Thanks for your response. I'll try with the export button but also willing to know how to create button on toolbar.And by clicking on that button a popup box will come having two radio buttons asking to download the report either in .xls or in .csv format. I am looking for the subroutines for that.

  • Dump when exporting an ALV to excel at Portal

    Hi there,
    I am getting a dump ( Exception condition "CNTL_ERROR" raised) when exporting an ALV to an excel document. 
    I've done the following:
       1 - Create an ALV report at SAP R3 (with option export to excel);
       2 - Create a SAP transaction iview to show the ALV report at portal;
       3 - At portal, I am trying to export the ALV to excel.
    Isn't this correct?
    How can I get throught this problem. I really need to export this ALV to excel.
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi,
    if it should not dump then it_output_alv-gehalt_eff this should be of type C. is it type char.
    and can you show the fieldcat of the field <b>gehalt_eff</b>, that might causing the problem. though you changed the type.
