Maintenance of documents in Bex browser

Hi FrIends,
My requirement is i want to maintain 10 documents(excel,word documents) on Bex Browser. Where only one user maintained/updates those 10, then that will be avilable to all users(lets 5), whoever is accessing bex browser with their USER ids.
Is this feature possible? Is should require any authorizations?
thanks,
Raju

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

Working with documents via BEx Analyzer not using the portal

Hello,
i read that we are able to create (work) with documents (comments) via
BEx Analyzer. When i want to add a comment how it is described in the
help we get connected to the portal. We dont want to use the portal for
that. Therefore we searched a way to skip the portal. We read that in
BW Versions before 7.0 the portal was not connected but since 7.0 we
have the portal connectivity, but it should also possible to not use
the portal and to access directly the BI Server. I searched for the
Customizing to do so but i could not find it where to switch to the old
logic.
And another question is when we use the Portal with the knowledge base . The documents are stored in the document framework (SKWF). Is it the same as the Datawarehousing Workbench --> documents. This storage we want to use.
Can anyone give me a hint?
Kind regards,
Murat

Hi Murat,
We are also facing the same issue of when trying to create/access the documents from BEx analyzer it is connecting portal , we need to bypass portal and directly access the document browser in BW server.
In your thread you mentioned it is done. So can you please let me know how did you enable the old configuration?. It will be very much helpful to us.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks,

Input of Multiple values in BEX Browser

Dear All,
Can I input multiple values i.e Can I copy values from a excel or a data base which are at random and paste in BEX Browser as a input variable. is there any way to do this operation.
Note:- Values need not be in series as stored in table.

Hi Abhijit,
I hope u are asking about input multiple values in data selection of the Query (Infact at selection screen, where u input the value for the query).
Well u can do this if u are using BW3.5 or Above. What u need to do is copy all those selection values from Excell sheet then at selection screen u have to there is a button of multiple copies which will suck values even more than 12 in numbers.
This functionality is perticularly benefial when u want to check the status BW for randon numbers of document numbers.
Hope this works for u.
Kindly assign the points if u feel this solution workable for u.
Regards.

Bex Browser and roles

Hello All,
We currently use the BEx browser to deploy the queries and workbooks to all the users.
We have set the auth object S_USER_AGR with the value '03 - Display' only.
However, what we are observing that the users are having the capability to move workbooks from their favorites to the roles.
When we run a trace for authorization check, it is checking the above auth object and shows a value being returned for 01 - Create, 02 - Change, 06 - Delete.
Object Text
S_USER_AGR RC=0 ACT_GROUP=NY_BW_WP_QUERY_USER;ACTVT=02;
S_USER_AGR RC=0 ACT_GROUP=NY_BW_WP_QUERY_USER;ACTVT=01;
S_USER_AGR RC=0 ACT_GROUP=NY_BW_WP_QUERY_USER;ACTVT=06;
However, in the above mentioned role, the only value assigned is 03 - Display.
The users have no other roles which would override the values.
We want to ensure that the users DO NOT have the capability to save the work books from their favorites to any roles.
Any ideas?
Sunil

Bex Browser in NW2004s

Dear Prakash,
   Can I still use the BEx Browser (Windows Version) in SAP NetWeaver BI
2004s?
   The BEx Browser is on maintenance. There are no new features
developed and the tool is phased out. You can still use it in NW 2004s BI for
queries, templates and workbooks developed with the 3.x BEx Tools and for
queries, templates and workbooks developed with the new NW2004s BEx Tools.
However it is not recommended. SAP recommends to use the Portal infrastructure
of NetWeaver as a user- and role-specific single point of entry for BI
users.
Can you please clarify us below points on Bex browser or direct us where
we can find this information.
1) SAP recommends to use the Portal Infrastructure inplace of Bex
browser ( as explained above in FAQ). Does this mean, we need to install the portal components .
2) Is Bex browser runs on NW 2004s without 3.x runtime (i.e without ABAP
runtime) or do we need to have ABAP runtime.
3) Is there any time frame for phasing out Bex browser.
Regards
Madhukar

The BEx Browser is still available and works, but SAP recommends not to use it because it is fairly dated technology.
1. If you're on SAP NetWeaver 2004s, you will have 4 usage types installed: AS-ABAP, AS-JAVA, BI-JAVA, and EP. You cannot run 04s without the portal. So if you don't install the portal components, you can't use any new features or functionality. This is explained in lots of details in the FAQ: http://service.sap.com/bifaq
2. BEx Browser is a client based tool. Workbooks are launched in the respective BEx Analyzer you have flagged as your default, but again, it isn't recommended to use it.
3. No specific time frame, but again, it isn't recommended to use it.
See phase 7 in this blog:

I talk specifically about workbooks on the portal.

BEx Browser Reconnection via the Portal

Hi All,
I'll lay down the problem:
At regular points during the day, our BW users are booted out of the system while cube refreshes and aggregate generations occur.
At present, this is ok for us because everybody knows their BW user names and passwords and once the refresh is complete they just login to BW again when they attempt to refresh the workbook.
We are now setting up a portal implementation (EP 6.0) to enable single sign on via active directory to all our SAP and BW systems.
As such I have created an iView to launch the BEx browser via transaction RRMXP using a blank workbook id. This enables them to launch any of the workbooks in their profile via the open workbook method in Excel.
However, now at the point where the BW connection is terminated for each user, I cannot find a way to re-establish the connection to BW without forcing the users to shut down all their workbooks and excel.
Does anybody know if it is possible to reconnect to the BW server via the portal without the users having to close their excel session and the related work books?...I will reward you with lots of points if you do ;o)
Thanks,
Mike.

Replacement for BEx Browser in BI 7.0

Hello.
I'm at a customer that will upgrade their system from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0.
Nowadays they have a lot of workbooks published in the BEx Browser.
I understand the BEx Browser is not longer available for use in NW04s - BI 7.0.
How can I have the same functionality of BEx Browser ( a single point of entry for all my workbooks) in BI 7.0?. is it a mix between KM and the BEx Broadcaster?.
They needed a "pull tool" and the BEx Broadcaster is a "push tool". doesn't it?
Kind regards
Rebeca

Hi,
You can also look at implementing bNavigator which has been developed by <a href="http://www.entelsoft.com/">Entelsoft</a>, as a BEx browser replacement.
bNavigator does not aim to compete with the Enterprise Portal - rather it is complementary with some unique advantages. It has "Powered by Netweaver" certification for installation in the Enterprise Portal or it can run standalone on the SAP Netweaver J2EE Application Server that comes with BI 7.0.
More information can be found at <a href="http://www.bnavigator.com/">www.bnavigator.com</a>.
Cheers
Adrian
[P.S. I work for Entelsoft, so my apologies if this comes across as a shameless plug :)...Please feel free to take any discussion on bNavigator off-line, by submitting your queries via the [url=http://www.entelsoft.com/]Entelsoft Website[/url]

I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." What do I do?

I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.” What do I do? I have opened this up in the past without a problem.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

BEx Browser content in KM

We have used the BEx Browser extensively over the past 10 years to keep track of all our queries, links and workbooks.
Now we are taking the first steps towards the use of KM. And we face the problem of accessing all these queries through a KM file.
We can broadcast a query or publish it to the portal. Easy enough. But we have several thousand and accessing them one by one is.............time consuming.
So the question is, if it is possible to create a KM portofolio that points to the BI server where the existing BEx Broser structure are, presenting them to the endusers.

I'm not a BI Consultant, so I don't know the Bex Browser but what I found at SDN is that is is possible to call it via ITS (WebGui)... as the Portal supports Transaction Iviews you could try that...
Please note that the notes reffering to the use of Bex Browser in the web are very very old:
- BEx browser in the Web (SAP Note Number: 318352 )
- Use of the BEx browser in the Web with a logon (SAP Note Number: 535561)
But I would strongly reccomend you to look at the possibilities that SAP intended to use in combination with Portal and KM otherwise you will get in trouble if SAP stops the support on the Bex Browser...
For more info and a detailed comparison matrix what is possible look here:

Adobe reader will not open documents in the browser. What do I do?

I do not know anything about technical jargon or anything about add-ons or plug-ins, I just know that typically if I open a PDF file from a website it opens just fine in the browser. However, I am unable to open PDFs inside of Adobe Reader. When I do, the error message reads as follows:
"Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details."
I have no idea how to fix this, as Adobe Reader is installed and I assume it is installed correctly? Please, any help would be fantastic.

Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

Nothing to do with the download; you need to open Adobe Reader once after the install is complete, and accept the EULA.

Documents Open in Browser Issue

Hi All
I have strange issue, word document open in browser as expected. But a read permission user open up the document in browser and able to edit and save it.
Please advice
Thank you
Joe

Hello joe_aro-SP,
looks like your user has more permissions than needed. You could try to remove the user from User Information List (<a href="http:///_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0">http://<your_site>/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0)
and grant him/her ONLY read permissions (add it to the SharePoint group with read permissions).
Another options is to create a new permission level (via Central Admin->Manage Web Application, select the web application and choose "Permission Policy"). When creating the permission policy select "View Items" under List permissions.
Create a new SharePoint group and assign the newly created permission policy. Inside the permission policy you could add accounts that could Only view items for the site collection.
Let me know if this one is helpful.
Regards

I don't understand how to do this.??
