Need Information: Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)

Hi,
in SAP-GUI 7.10 there is the SAP BW 3.x integrated.
How can i find Information about this?
What have i to do in R/3 (ECC6) and Praesentation-Server to implement this?
Thanks.
Regards, Dieter

Hi Dieter,
What do you mean by saying "SAP BW 3.x" is integrated?? I suppose you ask because you have "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)" in your Start Menu.
I have just finished (at least I hope so) installing SAP GUI 7.10 two hours ago (man, this was an experience...), and I believe that:
- SAP GUI 7.10 (the install package) comes with BI Addon 7.10 by default, but you do not need to install that if you do not want it
- You can download and install BW 3.5 AddOn separately (a separate .exe file for the Windows platform).
So I think, first SAP GUI 7.10 was installed on you PC without BI7.0 Addon and after that BW3.5 AddOn was applied. I am not sure if any of these addons (BW3.5 Addon, BI7.0 Addon) have anything to do with R/3, I do not think so.
Hope it helps and is not confusing. If it is completely useless and is not what you asked, please disregard my post.
Regards,
Csaba

SAP Business Explorer (BEx), not BI

For clarification, in 2008, SAP used the term u2018business intelligenceu2019 in two ways:
SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions
SAP NetWeaver BI
In order to remove confusion, the term business intelligence is now associated only with the solutions from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio.
SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) is no longer used and instead we refer to the following:
SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW)
SAP Business Explorer (SAP BEx)
SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (BWA)
Therefore, this forum name should probably not refer to BI. We hope this helps clear up the confusion.

Hola esta información la he encontrado la he recolectado de la comunidad
BEx (Business Explorer) es la herramienta de informes que se utiliza para trabajar con datos en la base de datos BW. BEx tiene una interfaz de usuario basada en Web y está formado por dos componentes, el navegador BEx y el analizador de Bex.
El navegador BEx proporciona una interfaz organizada donde el usuario puede acceder y trabajar con cualquier tipo de documento que se les asigna en la bodega de Información Empresarial, tales como libros, enlaces e informes BW. La base de datos BW misma se divide en áreas de datos discretos llamados InfoCubos que se componen de los datos y los metadatos asociados. El analizador BEx permite al usuario examinar los datos segmentados en una variedad de combinaciones útiles, por ejemplo, al comparar los datos financieros de diferentes ejercicios.
Con esto el BEx es una herramienta de reportes para Inteligencia de Negocios usada para el Bussines Warehouse(BW), el WEBI es la herramienta de reportes usada por Bussines Object (BO), el Universe designer se usa para crear los universos en los cuales quieres tus fuentes de datos sacadas de una bodega como el BW.

BI 7.0 Business explorer / analyzer Can't open queries

Hi, I recently upgrade our 3.0B sandbox to BI 7.0. When I run "start" -> "Programs" -> Business explorer -> analyzer Excel bex tool launches but when I click on the folder to open queries (Offnen open) Nothing comes up. However, if I am logged into the BI 7.0 system and lanuch RRMX excel comes up with the Business explorer tool bar. I re-read the upgrade guide and could not find out if I am supposed to run a conversion program or this is the default behavior.
Thanks in Advance
--- Steve

Hi PG. When I run transaction RRMX from within SAP gui while logged into BI 7.0, Excel launches and I get the Business Explorer tool bar. I have the options "open" "save" "refresh query" Back" "change query" "goto" "Olap Functions ..." "format" "layout" "tools" "settings" and "help" Under Settings I don't have "Launch Legacy Version from RRMX".
I clicked on help -> about and it showing me finall release 3.5. Shouldn't it read 7.0?
The installation of sap gui with BW add on was done with DVD 50083078 SAP NetWaver 2004s presentation SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 comp 1.
If I click on "Start" "All Programs" "Business Explorer" "Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x) -> Analyzer (BW 3.x) it's also showing version release 3.5 but the Business explorer tool bar is there. If from the excel menu I click Business Explorer -> Installation check I get the message 12 red signed Files found , 14 yellow signed Files found, please check SAPSETUP.LOG in c:\windows. See note 197460 from more details. I can't find the sapsetup.log anywhere (supposed to be under c:\windows). Note 197460 refers to the check I just ran. The note also mentions Red files have to be manually registered, so it looks like I will either have to find a newer release or have a lot of work to do

SAP GUI 7.10 business explorer gives

Hi Experts
we have installed SAP GUI 7.10 , patch 4 , successfully and there seems to be an error on Business Explorer.. while processing some of the queries in designer it gives out an error message " critical program error occured.The program has to close.Please refer to the trace for further information" this caused the entire application to close.
do i have to upgrade the patch level? or please advise on this.
thanks..!

It may help you to know I currently have two OSS messages raised for just this error - I suggest you do the same!
The combination of software elements that you have may well be the issue, but raising the OSS will help take you through the process of identifying the issue.
The 710 GUI seems quite flaky still, I'm just hoping it will be robust before we roll it out globally.
Points if that helps?

SAP Business Explorer Analyzer Performance testing

Hi, All
I don't have any experience in SAP at all. So maybe I will ask silly questions.
I was asked to provide performance testing for SAP Business Explorer Analyzer. As you know it is Excel base application with ActiveX control from SAP. HP Loadrunner doesn't support such configuration (It can only work with SAPGUI). So I am forced to search for other possible solutions. So maybe here I can get ideas and opinions about options:
1. I asked SAP admins about possibility to do the same things what users do from BEx (query execution + some drill down in data) in SAPGUI, maybe with predefined parameters or with additional customization. Unfortunately I've got an answer that it isn't possible at all. Is it really?
2. Another idea is to simulate what users do in BEx with VBA since anyway Excel interacts with BEx engine via DBA. There I met another problem. There is no any documentation about ActiveX components (e.g. com.sap.bi.et.analyzer.addin.BExConnect) or API used in BExAnalyzer.xla. The question is "is it possible or not to fully automate all data manipulation with VBA" and "Where can I get documentation about SAP VBA API?"
Thanks,
Alexander

You can run the queries with drilldown using transaction rsrt in list mode and interact via standard screen functions
This won't however give you the WAN or the presentation server overhead (ie formatting of the cells with excel wrappers of styles)
Read here for a testing example

What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

Hello,
What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

Hi,
you need to setup a BOBJ server (eg. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 or BO Edge 3.1) and then install the BusinessObjects integration Kit for SAP on the same machine your BOBJ server runs.
In order to build reports you can either use Crystal Reports (eg Install Crystal Report Designer 2008 V1 if you have an XI 3.1 server installed), WebIntelligence (Install the Business Objects XI 3.1 Client Tools in order to be able to build universes), BusinessObjects Voyager or XCelsius. Please note that you have to always install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP (should be the same version as your server and client installation) on your clients AFTER you installed one or more of the above client tools.
Please take again a look at the following link for more detailed information (from Ingo) on this:

Trouble Shooting in Business Explorer and its Solution ....

Hi All BW Experts,
I would like to have some sample of BW Reporting issue (Data Discrepancies)and how to solve them in General including its solution. Like on Navigation Display and etc, any input is very highly regarded.
Thank You in Advance
Kumar

Hi dear,
first of all you need to divide the error analysis in several check-areas...
(WHERE your data is wrong ? in PSA? in data mart section? in the final infoprovider ? only at query level ? at DB level?)
As you can see, understand WHERE is your problem solves half problem it-self !
Then look at OSS notes, first of all to verify that there is no std bug in some pgm, or to receive some useful suggestion...
578379 "Analysis/Required infos for wrong values in BW Query Results"
565086 "Composite SAP note: Wrong or no data..."
112458 "Trace log in the Business Explorer"
Hope it helps!
Bye,
