Need for Portal to support BEx Report (Excel based) in BI7.0

Experts,
We are on BW 3.5 version and upgrading to BI7.0. We have all the reports so far is Excel Based (no web reporting). Do we need to have portal implemented for our BW report to run after upgrading to BI 7.0? In other words, is Portal mendatory to have to run any BEx Report in BI 7.0 invironment? Thanks.
NP

Hello Nimesh,
No, in BI7.0  BEx Analyzer is still supported. Portal is used only for web reports and if needed these web reports can be exported to excel or pdf. It is not mandaory to have portal to see BEx reports.
Thanks

  • BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports

    Hi BW Gurus,
    Would like to bring to ur attention for a small solution which i have proposed for SAP Tech Ed. As a BW consultant, you would have come across a situation where you had to decide a reporting tool that was flexible, reliable, user friendly, less expensive and that can be used with less training but still have all the features of Excel.
    Topic : BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports
    Abstract : The workshop will help you to provide advanced formatting with Bex Reports. You will also learn how to add and retain Formats in Bex reports with BW Macros. Advanced formatting includes retaining of formats with excel shawdow boxes, automatic print settings, comments, hiding rows or columns, adding calculations, changing color, maintaining report titles. etc.  The solution will help the business users/ power users to maintain different formats of a report without going for any 3rd party tools like Crystal or Business objects. As most of the business users are familiar with Excel, it would be easy for them to maintain or change the reports rather depending on IT for each change.

  • Skills needed for Portal

    Hi All,
            I am an ABAP consultant. I am trained in Web Dynpro ABAP.
            I have a working knowledge on creation of i-Views.
            What are the additional skills needed for maintaining a Enterprise Portal.
            Is Java knowledge needed for this. If yes please provide the topics that I need to understand in Java.
            Thank you all in advance.

    Hello,
    You will have to know the different components and what kind of configuration is possible out of the box within the enterprise portal i.e KM, Collab for example. Also general administration tasks - system creation, SSO federation. Getting into portals is easy being a good portal consultant is challenging to some since you would need to wholistic view of the landscape internet facing , intranet portal. Good to have also is a view of what portals other than SAP EP offer the same or better features.
    Java is needed if you have to customize any existing component or if you want to build new components either in java or WD 4J
    You may require muchmore than these but then as a starter you can install a portal on your local pc and explore the world
    Good Luck!!!

  • Getting wrong values  for decimal value in Bex report

    Hi,
         I am getting some problem in Bexreport decimal values.
       In ODS i am able to look the values for this key figure
      (Total PO Release Val)= 140.692,00,the same value in Bex report looks like this $ 140,692.00.
         Here one calculation is going with these above values
       % Used = 'Total PO Release Val' / 'Target Value' * 100
        as per ODS value calculation  it is correct = 140.692/1000 * 100 =14.692
       as per Bex  it is coming like this = 140,692.00/1000 *100 = 142.692.
        in Bex report Percentage valus is not considering value is taking as 140,692.00 rather than 140.692.I mean to say decemal values are ignoring while calculation in Bexreport.can you any please advice me how to comeout of this problem.Appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Ramesh

    <i> "(Total PO Release Val)= 140.692,00,the same value in Bex report looks like this $ 140,692.00."
    </i>
    How do you check the ODS value? The amount will only have two decimal places after it, so you can't have a value like 140.692,00. It seems to be an issue of user's decimal notation (where decimal is represented by comma, and thousand seperator by '.'). Go to user profile, change this setting (in default tab) to correct one (ie decimal being represented by '.') and login again and check it. The value that you see in ODS is 'one hundred forty thousand six hundred ninety two, the same that you get in Bex, only the representation is different).

  • Need for Speed not supported on current profile

    Hi Folks,
    I just got a playbook today and when I try to download Need for Speed from the app store it says "This item is not supported by your current device profile"
    The tetris says the same thing, I can download other apps without issue though.
    I'm running OS version 1.0.3.1868 and connected to wifi.
    Anyone know what causes this or how I can get around it?

    The question is WHERE are you?
    I'm in the UK and had this problem until yesterday.
    I wouldn't be surprised if you're in a region that doesn't have the PlayBook on commercial release yet.
    To get around this, you need to set up your PlayBook's network connection to use a USA public proxy, so that App World thinks that you're in North America. Look at this page: USA Open Proxy List
    Hope this helps you.

  • Are licenses needed for Portal Users?

    Hi, do you need seperate user licenses for users created on the Portals Database (J2EE only) using the MSS and ESS components? We have an HR ECC5.0 system with 700 users, but only about 100 Managers will login to the Portal to do reports via the MSS component. I thought of creating these 100 managers on the Portal (Database Only), and then using Single Sign-On with SAP Logon Tickets connect them to the HR ABAP system where they also have the same user accounts, thus enabling them to do their work seemlessly. I don't want to use the ABAP User Persistence model, as I don't want the Portal UME to pull in all 700 users from the HR ABAP system when we only maintain 100 managers on the Portal for the MSS component. Will user licensing be an issues?

    There is no need to license your Portal users.  The ABAP license is all that is required.  I would check with SAP just to make sure that your license agreement doesn't contradict this but I highly doubt that it will.

  • Critical need for Aperture to support new Panasonic Lumix RAW files (.RW2) anyone know an app that can handle this in the meantime?

    New Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 produces .RW2 RAW files, and we are dead in the water with Aperture.  Dying to see what this camera can do, but have to shoot jpgs for now.  Have tried to encourage Apple and Panasonic to get together:) 

    I don't understand this. I have GF2 but I assume RW2 files will be the same & they load into Aperture 3.2.1 & I can do everything with them. Just returned for 9 National Parks with 1000's & working on them no problem.
    Are you running latest Aperture?
    There are quite a few posts about no support in Aperture for RW2 files but I have been importing every RAW I shoot on Nikon & Lumix. I noticed one for the G3, but people in our camera club are inporting RAW in to Aperture from this camera. I will need to check if they do as I do.
    In the Import screen I have Both(as separate Masters) clicked, no probs

  • Pre-define filter for query in a BEx Report

    Hi all experts, I have a question, I have created a report with WAD and Query Designer, and I need a pre-define filter for different user or different role. Anyone knows where should I set this pre-define filter to the query ? In the WAD itself, or must do it in backend ? My scenario is, lets say User A login to this report, he will have value A, B, C as filter value in characteristic Z, User B login to this report, he will have value D, E, F as filter value in characteristic Z. Perhaps you guys can understand what I trying to say.

    Hi,
    You can set a customer exit variable on characteristics Z. the value for Variable is populated in customer exit written in CMOD using I_STEP = 1.
    You also need to maintain a mapping table for value of characteristics Z to user. Now if user A checks the Report, using the sy-uname you lookup to the mapping table and get the corresponding values of characteristics Z and populate the default value of the variable or straight away restrict it in the query by not making it ready for input.
    Hope it helps....

    Hi Sally,
    You can create chart into workbook based on the query data.
    Execute the query it will show result in excel sheet. In the tool bar of the sheet you find 'Chart wizard' icon . Select the icon, it will ask for the type of the graph. After select the ranges of the data from result. It will display the graph. Then you can save the workbook.
    Graphs can be embedded in different sheets.
    Hope it helps.
