Need to provide certain informations within BEX Analyzer

Hi folks,
we need to provide certain information to users being connected over BEX Analyzer ...
Is there any way to write a custom help text or to provide some kind of info box or pop up or something similar to the info box on the SAP logon screen or anything else that can be used to inform users of certain things ?
Tricky thing is, that we don't want a permanent pop up appearing every time the user logs on to the analyzer. It's supposed to be more like something that the user can open every time he wants to look up the information or alternatively a permanent info text somewhere on the screen or maybe under the system information that one can open up under Bex Analyzer ...
Or how about adding a new (custom) button to the BEX Toolbar opening an information window ? Is that possible ?
Any idea what could be done to accomplish this ?
Regards
Thomas

Hi,
Is it an idea to make one or more Excel Comment fields in your template
Like directly under your company logo using a row with Excel cells with subjectnames and adding the documentation as comments in there?

Cell definition in Query Design within Bex Analyzer

Hello,
I would like to use special cell definition to visualizing the difference row definition between 2 columns (last year and actual year). With "Cell Definition" function in Query Design within Bex Analyzer there's a option to select a new restricted key figure for a related cell. But as a result I just can see a star (*) against a result number in that field. Do you have an idea, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Nuran

Hi again Dirk,
there's not a unit problem. We use 2 different restricted key figure definition for a same row. The first restricted (or can be decribed as calculated key figure) key figure must be used in the first column to represent the value of the last year. And at the same row with usage of same text (for example: cost of goods sold)the second restricted key figure should be used to show the value of actual year (B2:costs in euro). The problem is the key figure definitions are totaly different; they're using different account groups etc. Cause of, I wanted to use cell definition function. In the first value field (B1) should be shown first key figure but I just get star (*) and a wrong value in the formula field of excel (between the toolbars and the result area).
Thanks for your reply.

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

Run-Time Error '6' Overflow within BEx Analyzer after copy/paste query

Hi all,
User is getting a "Run-time error '6' overflow" message which is caused after copying any query in a 'query pack' to any free row/column within the same sheet (BEx Analyzer). This "query pack" has multiple queries within one sheet and covers 1800 rows so there is enough free space left for copying one of the queries to another position in the same sheet.
Microsoft Office Excel SP2 is used which is part of MS Office professional edition 2003. The BW version is 3.0.
Please let me know if more details are required or above mentioned error message is recognized and can be explained.
Thanks and kind regards,
Raymond Flaton

Hi VRV,
This error is caused whenever there is memory issue. If your query is built on a cube which has a BWA index then this problem can be related to the issue with the BWA server. Check your BASIS team to check if there is memory issue presently in the BWA server.
Sometimes the issue is temporary, where the several users accesing the reports to fetch data from BWA lead to this type of error as the BWA gets overloaded. Try exiting the report and run it after some time again.
Alternatively you can also try restricitng the selection for fetching the data in the report as suggested.
Thanks

Is there a possibility to disable the DESIGN MODE within BEx Analyzer 7.0?

We need to disable the DESIGN MODE in the BEx Analyzer 7.0.
Does someone know a possibility to restrict the access?
Thanks in advance,
Ulli

Yes, it is possible to restrict the design of already existing workbooks.
You may go to Workbook Settings, enable the option, 'Password Protect Workbook' and keep a password
which may be known only to the people who can change the structure of the workbook.
When this option is selected, if you goto design mode, it would prompt for a password, and if correct password is entered, only then be allowed to add/modify design items.
I hope this helps.

Gunjan Narang

How to Suppress result rows for ALL Characteristic within BEX Analyzer

HI,
We Currently upgrade from BEX 3.5 to BEX 7.
In BEX 3.5 Analyzer there was an option by right clicking on a Characteristic and then going to "All Characteristic" and then "Suppress all Result Rows."
In BEX 7 Analyzer it seems that you can only suppress result rows one characteristic at a time. Is there a way in BEX 7 Analyzer to suppress ALL characteristic at once. The same as BEX 3.5.
Thanks!

Hi,
in 7x Analyzer, surpressing the results & Filtering is specific to characteristic. and this feature is more advanced and useful than the at a time surpress,
even i fyou go to the Query Properties, it will allow you to surpress by characteristic only instead of at a time.
Hopes it is clear

Setting Default Global Settings for Bex Analyzer 7 for all users

We need to set default settings for Bex Analyzer Global Settings when we install SAP-GUI 7.2 in our user's workstations. The current default settings are that all of them are turned off. We would rather not have to run around and change each of our 1,000 user's settings.
Ed:. Apparently [OSS Note 1254112|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1254112] discussed how to adjust Windows Registry settings to resolve this.

Just so any one is looking for the correct solution and it worked for me.
Small correction to the information in the OSS note 1254112.
for setting the legacy version setting use the below string in the registry
"LAUNCH_VERSION" = "LEGACY" insted of "LaunchLegacyVersion"

Broadcasting in EXCEL export to PDF, Bex Analyzer

Hi!
The user wants to export the Bex Analyzer Workbook (excel) to PDF... HOW CAN I DO IT???
Thanks a lot...

Hi Leticia,
Here's are some things you can do with Broadcaster...
1. Broadcast a workbook from BEx Analyzer (must have Precalc Server set up for this). You cannot Broadcast in .pdf format from an Excel workbook. There will be no option in Broadcaster for that.
2. Broadcast a .pdf from Report Designer where your Excel query needs to be highly formatted. Create the Enterprise (RD) report first from your query, then you can Broadcast from there.
3. Broadcast a .pdf from Query Designer. Open the query and create a Broadcast Setting from the query itself and select .pdf as the format. The only difference between this and #2 above is that the .pdf won't be so nicely formatted as the Report Designer version of the query. However, you don't have to go to the trouble of creating the Enterprise (RD) version of the report using this option.
4. Broadcast a .pdf from a Web Template. You could publish the query to the Web and then create the Broadcast setting from the Web Template and select .pdf as the format.
5. Also Broadcast in other formats (i.e. Excel (XML), Portal, etc.) from Query Designer, etc.
The best looking (nicest format) .pdf would be Broadcast from a Report Designer version of the Query. The nicest Excel version would be from a Workbook within BEx Analyzer (where it would be Broadcast exactly the way it looks in BEx). But, per my comments above, you have other options. These of course are not every option but only pertain to your question about Broadcasting as a .pdf.
Hope this helps!

Variable hierarchy display not changed (BEx analyzer)

Hi
We have a BEx query, in which a drilldown characteristic is displayed as an hierarchy
Hierarchy display is active
Selected hierarchy:
Name - constant
Version - customer exit variable
Customer exit calculates version from manual input variable.
We need to view the report in BEx Analyzer.
When the query is opened, we select manual input variables and the hierarcy's version is set correctly.
The issue is that when we change manual input variables at runtime, the data is refreshed,
but hierarchy display is not changed. The selected hierarchy's version remains unchanged.
In order to change hierarchy display, we need to open characteristic properties and change the selected hierarchy manually
or we need to reopen the query and provide another manual input variables.
Our system version is 7.01 patch level 9
Is there any way to fix this problem
Or some workaroud?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Michael, thank you for reply.
But I don't see how these notes may help me with my problem.
1753959 - I don't get a short dump
1745472, 1751321 - system displays all queried nodes, the problem is that if I input another variable, hierarchy version variable is calculated via user-exit properly (I see it in ABAP debugger), but displayed hierarchy has version, which was set when I opened query initially.
1717433 - nodes are returned with non-empty result. I can see that data is refreshed, hierarchy version is requested correctly, but is displayed incorrectly. We can see, for example, new hierarchy leaves, but in "n/a" node.
I tried to run the same report on system with version 7.01, patch level 12 and get the same behaviour.
My problem is similar to that described in notes 993151, 957219, but our system patch level is already higher.

Query Not Running Via BEX Analyzer Role Menu

Hi All,
I have a problem when executing queries via the BEX Analyzer role menu. I can select a query from a role but, when I select the query to run, nothing happens. When I select the same query from the infoarea it runs without any problems. This behaviour occurs for all our queries so is not specific to a particular query.
We're running on version 3.5 and I've just upgraded to the latest patch but this hasn't helped at all.
If I use the role menu via the web application designer the queries all work fine so the problem looks to be pointing at the role menu within BEX Analyzer.
Any ideas ?
Dave

this issue is more related to Security , Roles & authorisation.
u will have to talk to Security team.
While installing latest patch,usuallys uch trouble occurs.
the excel extensions , roles gets affected sometime..

Does Bex Analyzer V7.0 need Portal?

Hi experts,
When I open a query with Bex Analyzer with NetWeaver 2004s, the system is connectinng with Portal?
Thanks,
Ada.

Hi,
Definitely.
The Bex Analyzer which was running on the ABAP stack in BW 3.x has been replaced with Java and this is running on the Java stack.
That is why when you install BI 7.0, you have to install both Java and ABAP stack.
You can still use your old (BW 3.x) queries on the ABAP stack, but, if you choose to migrate them to BI 7.0, then they will run using the Java stack.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Advantages of BW Query in SAP Portal when compared to WEB BEx Analyzer

Hi
What are the advantages of having a BW Query in SAP Portal when compared to WEB BEx Analyzer
I had to presention to higher managers of having a SAPPortal for BW report that WEB BEx Analyzer
can any one please update me with few points (10-20) that will be useful for my presentation
screen to geethikakrishna->gmail
Thanks in advance

Hi Krishna ,
I think you should highlight the portal role in presentation
Now a days all organizations using sap portal as their user interface. We can login portal once and we can get all the information from bw,crm...sap systems and non sap systems.
so no need to login each and every system individually.
The portal offers a single point of access to SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise applications, information repositories, databases and services in and outside your organizationall integrated into a single user experience. It provides you the tools to manage this knowledge, to analyze and interrelate it, and to share and collaborate on the basis of it.
With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables usersfrom employees and customers to partners and suppliersto focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes
For all information on portals refer to help.sap.com->documentation->netweaver->Netweaver2004->English
