Open a BEx Analyzer Workbook from a Web Application Template

Hello All,
I want to open a BEx Analyzer Workbook from a Web Application Template.
My vision is, that I have got a Button in my Web Application Template and when clicking on
it a Web Analyzer Workbook opens. The Analysis Item in the template and the Grid in the workbook are based on the same DataProvider. So you can open the report in web or in excel, but the people shouldn't open Excel separately when they use the web frontend.
I only found an export function, but this doesn't open a workbook. I couldn´t find a good solution here as well...
Best regards

Poor performance when refreshing BEx Analyzer workbook

We have a BEx Analyzer workbook that consists of about 10 worksheets, each displaying data from a different query. Refreshing the workbook in BEx Analyzer takes a very long time, typically 20 minutes or so. During this refresh process there is very little activity on the BW system itself. Each individual query runs on the web in a few seconds. Aggregates have been built for every query in the workbook.
The workbook's file size has also increased from ~2MB to 15MB as changes are made to the workbook.
Any suggestions on how to improve workbook performance would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jason Kraft

Hi Jason,
On the file size, I recommend a VBA macro which reformats the sheets for you, particularly getting rid of use of colour as much as possible.
The portal performance and the BEx Analyzer performance may be dependent on different servers. It could be that the BEx Analyzer is using the local machines CPU power. Just monitor CPU usage during idle times, opening of BEx and then refresh of the query data to see the demand.
The portal on the other hand could use an entirely different server which has more CPU power and capacity than the platform that Analyzer is being run on.
Incidentally, 20 minutes wait for a workbook with 10 sheets isn't necessarily a huge waiting time if these queries are returning many rows.

BEx Analyzer workbook cannot be refreshed

When i create an BEx analyzer workbook using the 'insert analysis grid' option as opposed to the 'open query' option, i cannot refresh the workbook when i reopen it.
The steps i am taking to reproduce this error are
1) Open analyzer
2) Open new excel workbook
3) Insert analysis grid and select query to populate the grid. When i get out of design mode i get my query and can perform all usual drill down options
4) Save workbook (typically i use *.xlsx but i have also tried *.xlsm) as a local workbook or on the server
5) Close workbook
6) Reopen workbook - at this point i cannot refresh the workbook or change variables and i notice there is no data provider in the workbook settings
My system has the following configuration
SAP GUI 7.10 Patch level 16
Excel 2007 (SP2 and SP1, have tried with both)
Windows XP/Windows 7 (have tried with both)
My business explorer analyzer is BI AddOn 7.X, support package 9, patch 1, revision 1507
Any ideas?

I have noticed that this option is not checked also when i create and save a new workbook using the 'Open query' as opposed to the 'insert analysis grid' option. But workbooks created using the 'Open Query' method still work despite this.
Actually if i create a workbook using the 'insert analysis grid' option and then open the workbook properties - even if i do not change anything in the workbook properties, as long as i open and close the properties, then save my workbook (i am saving the workbook as a local file) i will be able to refresh and use the analyzer options on this workbook after i close and re-open the workbook. To clarify the sequence of events i am trying to explain here is [Open excel --> Insert analysis grid --> get out of design mode and select variable to populate query --> open workbook properties --> close workbook properties (without changing any settings) --> save workbook locally --> close workbook --> re-open workbook --> the workbook is connected to server and i can refresh]
But if i just create a workbook via the 'Insert analysis grid' method, then save workbook --> close work book --> reopen workbook. I am not able to reconnect this workbook to server, which mean i cannot refresh, and actually if i check my workbook properties after reopening the file i notice that their is no data provider in the 'Data Providers' TAB, basically my workbook just becomes an excel file and not an analyzer workbook.

BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook - Convert to formula function features

Hello,
when using the convert to formula function in a BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook (WB) the result area becomes completely static.
1.) Is there a possibility to add drill downs / across into an already converted to formula WB?
2.) I inserted drop down boxes to allow F4 like selections, however those are pointless if several characteristics are being used i.e. the keyfigure results get blanked out. Is there another way to do this at all?
3.) Could someone provide me with a real live example / whitepaper how the convert to formula function can be used?
Many thanks for any feedback on this.
Regards
Christian

It does become static and all the workbook gets all the excel property.
The key figures are now calulated on the basis of your data provider from the server as a formula in each cell..
I had used to populate my key figure only for the required values of a characteristic.

Urgent:- BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal

Hi,
Can somebody please tell is it possible to create BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal?
If it is possible, how to create the iView?
Please help.

Hi Nikesh,
The question relates much more to analysing queries.
BEx Designer and WAD are for designing queries,output of which can be seen in BEx AnalyserWorkbook. These are used for analysing the data with some test data entered by user.
But if we want them to be seen as a portal iview report we need to use BEx WebApplication Designer iview as we generally user for WAD n BEx.
Use the Version of the BEx Appl as BW or BI and then give propeties like system name,BEx Query,Appl parameters.
We need to see tht these queries in the same compatible format as with portal.
Please note "BExquery" must be the one which generates your reports.
I am not sure whether i could answer you but hope my idea is clear.
Thanks and regards,
Shaila

Button in bex analyzer workbook

Hello all
I am trying to customize a button in bex analyzer workbook (BI 7).
I want to insert a planning sequence into the button. As far as i know (and as i did ), if the sequence contain variables, i should see in the static parameters : VAR_NAME_1 and VAR_VALUE_1, and so on.
For some reason i dont have the VAR_VALUE_1 part, and if i try to write it i get error.
What is the reason for this?
Best
Yuval

Once I am adding VAR_VALUE_1 to the static parameters, the system generates two messages error:
Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
System error in program SAPLRRS2 and form GET_SID-1

Bex Analyzer Workbook Refresh - How to prevent take over of desktop

Hi there,
I believe the answer to this queston will be use bex broadcaster but I will try and see if someone has any other experience.
One of our upper mgmt directors is frustrated because when he refreshes the bex analyzer workbooks, the refresh takes over his desktop.
He will kick off the refresh and then wants to go to another task - Like checking something on AS400 screen - or going to check his email - or working in word.
The refresh of the workbook is long running and has several queries to refresh so it monopolizes his desktop.
He will go to the other screens but bex refresh keeps popping up and taking over.
I do not know any other way to have it run in the background unless bex broadcaster is used. Unfortunately, we are in the process of getting that upgraded and it is not available at this time.
Does anyone have any experience with having the excel refresh run in the background?
Thank you,
Lynda

reporting agent will be helpful in caching the report...this article will explain you on the steps to do so
http://www.tnsr.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/Documenten/PDF/How_To/How_To...Perform_Tuning_with_the_OLAP_Cache.pdf
reporting agent has been replaced by information broadcasting in BI 7.0, you can try this out by going to rsa1old and caching the report.
Hope this helps.

Pass data from one web application to another web application

Hi,
Please provide suggestion for following scenario:
Scenario: Basically the aim is to transfer large amount of data from one application to another and display JSP of second application.
User enteres data on a JSP of one web application. When he submits that data, another web application opens in new window and data from first application should be passed to this second web application. Another web application will display that data on its own JSP. User can perform whatever he wants on second application screen.
Possible solutions:
1) response.sendRedirect(): This makes GET request. But, there is large data to send. So, GET is not effective.
2) forward(request, response): Can't use as I have to pass data to different application that is in another context.
3) URLConnection: Here, I can make POST request and set attributes in HTTP request and make connection to another application. I can pass data using output stream. But, I can't display second application JSP to user even if I use input stream to read response. Because control will be ultimately in first application only.
Is there any othe method to achieve this or any of the above options extendable?
Please give your inputs.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to migrate list data from one web application to another.
We can migrate list data programmatically, there are some articles for your reference.

IMAP/SSL: problem connecting from a web application

Hi,
I try to connect to a IMAP/SSL server (with a self-signed certificate) from a web application. I followed http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip115.html.
When I try to connect from a java application it works fine. But when I try it from a servlet, it fails:
javax.mail.MessagingException: gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory;
nested exception is:
     java.net.SocketException: gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory
     at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:461)
     at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:236)I use Tomcat 5.5, jdk1.5.0_06 and javamail-1_3_3_01. Here is my code:
          Security.setProperty( "ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory");
Properties props = new Properties();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect(server, 993, username, password);
store.close();Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Előd.

I am not sure there is a class called MBoxSSLFactory. Is that a typo? We are in the same boat. We have a web application running on Tomcat that needs to connect to the IMAP store on the MS Exchange 2003 Server. It was working fine until we enabled Basic Authentication - SSL/TLS required setting on it.
In order to eliminate any complications due to Tomcat and all we are trying to get a simple standalone program that talks to IMAP server (using the DummySSLSocketFactory, DummyTrustManager etc) working.
I am stuck on the same error: (shown below is the stack trace and the code we are running). I have tried all the suggestions that have been posted on this "Unconnected Sockets not implemented" issue. I have tried it with both Jdk 1.4.2_08 and JDK 1.5.0.
The JavaMail version is 1.4. If I use JavaMail version 1.3.1 it complains that there is no store type "imaps". If I use "imap" and not "imaps" as the store type I end up getting "Authentication Failed" exception.
Instead of a DummyTrustManager I even tried importing a certificate. We have deployed a Verisign trial certificate on the EXchange server side. So when we run the InstallCert program (http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/no_more_unable_to_find) it allows us to add the valid certificates to our keystore. Once that is done we have tried to create TrustManager based on that keystore. But NOPE..No success. same problem.
We have been stuck on this one for the last 4 days and we have a very critical client deployment that is hampered by this one. I know it is turkey time now..but would really appreciate it if some one can help us out.

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.
