Open BEx Analyzer Workbook from WAD

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 the planning people can plan in web or in excel.
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

Problem opening BEx Analyzer Workbook (saved in Excel 2007) in Excel 2003!!

Dear all:
I know there are threads about this issue and numerous support tickets have been provided, but we still can't get any Excel 2007 Query to be opened by Excel 2003.
I have tried to save Excel 2007 BEx Analyzer Query into 97-2003 XLS format. But when we reopened (by both Excel 03 and 07), it prompted the warning messages and broke down the query workbook into several sheets with scrambled data. What am I missing here...? According to the support ticket, it seemed pretty straightforward just by saving the format to 2003 XLS, but in reality it just doesn't work as "advertised"
Thank you...!!!
Brian

I have the solution for this.
It works to my environment.
Follow the steps :
1. you must open the xlsx workbook from Bex Analyzer.
2. Save As workbook locally to your PC for excel 97-2003
(Not "save as" from bex Toolbar but from excel)
3. Now save that workbook with Save As->Workbook from Bex Toolbar into your BI database.
Now go to detail properties of your workbook and there you can see the format xls for your workbook.
Good Luck

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.

Problem-taking a long time to open Bex Analyzer

We upgraded from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0 SP9, Front End SP 9, Patch 3, Revision 370 and have a problem when we try to access Bex Analyzer. The response time is very poor. It can take as long as 3 minutes (or longer) for Bex Analyzer to open after we click on the Bex Analyzer option. When we were on BI 7.0, Front End SP 7, the response time was better but since upgrading to FEP 9, the time to open Bex Analyzer from our PCs is very long. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how was it resolved? Thanks

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

Hello Vishal.
Did you find a solution for this problem?
I'm facing right now the same problem, I need a way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD) and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Have found an answer to this issue? If yes, please kindly inform how have you solved this.

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

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.

Message when opening BEx Analyzer after an upgrade to 3.5

When I open BEx Analyzer after an upgrade to 3.5, I get a message:
Internal Error when generating the history. Use a different view
Is this because it is the first time I am logging onto BEx after the upgrade or is this an issue? Thanks

Niten,
As A.H.P suggested what version of BW did you upgrade from ? and what version of SAPGUI are you using - try and reinstall SAPGUI or install SAPGUI6.40 final.
Also please give your front end support pack levels. This could also be due to a front end SP issue.
Some other things that could help would be :
Were there any problems / issues when upgrading ?

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.

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.

BI 7.x Bex Analyzer workbook Query Changes

Hi All,
I have question regarding the BI 7.x analyzer workbook.
Have created a 7.x workbook and save the query..runs fine.
The I changed/replaced the key figure on the bex Query using the Query designer.
When I run the workbook, I thought it would automatically pickup the new Keyfigure and display in the workbook;
Can anyone suggest what is the procedure to make to workbook reflect the current query componant changes.
I can run the workbook..but it diplays blanks in the keyfig column?? Do I need to re-design my workbook from scartch.
Appreciate your helpful answers.
Rao

HI,
Open the Work book.
Click on the Design Mode button in teh tool bar.
You will see the table item in teh Work Book.
Right Click on it and say properties.
From the Option of Data provider, click on teh edit button and rebrowse the query.
This way you can see the new KF in the out out.
But if you had and customised navigation in the Work Book it will be rest to the initial view of the query and you need to reset it again.
Regards.

Opening Bex Analyzer in Webgui using NetWeaver Webdynpro

I have a Netweaver Webdynpro(Java) application which stores Transactions as favorite URLs (eg: SE37, SE38, RRMX..). When user clicks on the favorites link, the application supplies the URL to the transaction by appending the System , host details and the transaction opens up in a webgui.
This works for all transactions except RRMX for Business Explorer Analyzer(Bex Analyzer). For Bex Analyzer, the SAP WebGui opens up, but the Bex Analyzer does not open up. The message displayed is "Please install suitable Excel version."
Does anyone know what is missing?

Ok.. I have to add this. The BEX ANALYZER works in the same scenario for another link defined on Portal. So, the problem is not with the Excel/Office installation.
The only difference is that the link which works correctly on the portal : uses an Transaction Iview whose SAPGUI type WinGui.
Where as the application which we built forms a Url with the transaction code. So, when user clicks on the URL, what happens is the Transaction opens up in the WebGui mode. This is the main difference.
And, we have a whole list of transactions which needs to be opened and it would not be feasible to make seperate transaction iviews for each transaction. Currently, we are thinking of calling this already configured Transaction Iview for only the RRMX transactions. But, we are stuck trying to launch this transaction iview from WebDynpro.
Reason: The window closes after launching the Bexanalyser and we are unable to get the URL of this window before it closes. How do we read this PCD information from WebDynpro to get to launch this Transaction iview for RRMX?
