Performance Analysis for Office

Hello Everyone,
doese anybody know about the details of the processing of data sources in Analysis?
if there are several data sources on one query - is the query excecute once or as many times as I have data sources?
is the processing done parallel or sequential - can I influence the processing?
Thank you for your answers!
Carola

Hi Carola,
For your queries:
If there are several data sources on one query - is the query execute once or as many times as I have data sources? - You have the option to Refresh All - this action will refresh all the queries in your work book with one click.
Is the processing done parallel or sequential - can I influence the processing? - Yes, you can influence the processing in sequence by refreshing only desired query at a time, right click on active cell by placing with in the query region and select Refresh option.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Uday

Analysis for Office as Citrix Add-in - Performance measure

Hi experts,
could you suggest me some tool to measure the performance of Analysis for Office used as Citrix Add-in?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards
Andrea

Thank you Diego.
I would to do a stress test, with different session concurrently, of Analysis Add-in in Citrix and measure the memory and cpu consumed.
So i need something that permit to :
1) simulate concurrent use of Analysis Add-in
2) measure the performance and resource used during this test
To avoid risk when the more than 100 people using concurrently Analysis add-in and occur CPU or memory issue.
I find some tools that permit to do this analysis, for example: Citrix Edgesight, but i would know if someone have done these analysis before to release to Analysis for Office as Citrix Add-in.

Analysis for Office support multi thread?

Does Analysis for Office support multi thread/core? If so, what verison? I tried searching around this site as well as note 1466118 - Hardware & Software requirements for Analysis, edition for MS Office but was unable to find an answer.
I am on an Intel dual cpu with hyper threading turned on so it essentially looks like 4 cores. When I execute an Analysis View, I rarely see the EXCEL.EXE process go above 25% CPU utilization. I have plenty of RAM and hard drive space.
64bit Windows 7
32bit Office 2010
AAO 1.3.5.2288
Thanks

I found the following info at:
Excel 2010 Performance: Performance and Limit Improvements
Large Data Sets and 64-bit Excel
The 64-bit version of Excel 2010 is not constrained to 2 GB of RAM like 32-bit applications. Therefore, 64-bit Excel 2010 enables users to create much larger workbooks. 64-bit Windows enables a larger addressable memory capacity, and 64-bit Excel is designed to take advantage of that capacity. For example, users are able to fill more of the grid with data than was possible in previous versions of Excel. As more RAM is added to the computer, Excel uses that additional memory, allows larger and larger workbooks, and scales with the amount of RAM available.
In addition, because 64-bit Excel enables larger data sets, both 32-bit and 64-bit Excel 2010 introduce improvements to common large data set tasks such as entering and filling down data, sorting, filtering, and copying and pasting data. Memory usage is also optimized to be more efficient, in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Excel.
Multi-Core Processing
Additional investments were made to take advantage of multi-core processors and increase performance for routine tasks. Starting in Excel 2010, the following features use multi-core processors: saving a file, opening a file, refreshing a PivotTable (for external data sources, except OLAP and SharePoint), sorting a cell table, sorting a PivotTable, and auto-sizing a column.
For operations that involve reading and loading or writing data, such as opening a file, saving a file or refreshing data, splitting the operation into two processes increases performance speed. The first process gets the data, and the second process loads the data into the appropriate structure in memory or writes the data to a file. In this way, as soon as the first process beings reading a portion of data, the second process can immediately start loading or writing that data, while the first process continues to read the next portion of data. Previously, the first process had to finish reading all the data in a certain section before the second process could load that section of the data into memory or write the data to a file.

Average in Results row in calculation properties for Bex Key figure does not work in Analysis for Office 1.4.7

We are moving from Bex 3.5 to Bex 7.0 and using Analysis for Office 1.4.7
We have queries that do an average for the results rows of dynamic calculations and the queries will not open in Analysis for Office 1.4.7 (example is below)
We get an error message that can be found below
We were able to open the queries in Analysis 1.4.5 with the correct results.
We do not understand why it worked in an older version and not the new one.
Is there something missing in the version 1.4.7 of Analysis for Office that is preventing our queries from running?
We do not want to move back to 1.4.5 because the performance is better in 1.4.7.
Help.....

Hi Patty,
I just checked 1.4.7 by making "Calculate Results As.." for Key figure and formula to Average(and also tried others as well). No error is coming in Analysis Office. reason might be because of other reason
Any way, As Tammy Powlas suggested can you check with SP8

Hi Tammy,
We can do calculations now with Create Scenario" system privilege.
The issue I am facing was what objects we can do calculation and what objects I can't or should not.
Example:
     I can do calculation between kilos and Net Weight(Kilos) since both are quantity. Once I bring in Gross Profit at Standard which is dollar value into my calculation, I got "No applicable data found".

SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 on Microfost Office 64-Bit Version

Hello,
Has anyone installed SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP6 on Microsoft Office (Excel) 64-Bit Version. I am getting message "The launcher was not able to connect Analysis Add-In. Make sure that Analysis Add-In is not disabled by Office Application".
When I activated the Analysis Add-In, I am getting below Error: "Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'analysis' add-in." and it is forcing to disable the add-in and asking to check for if any update is available. It was working fine on 32-bit Excel version.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for the response. It is working fine on 32-bit Office version (with OS 64-bit). I checked the compatibility (OSS 1466118 ) and it supports Microsoft 64-bit office version. Just wanted to see if anyone had successful installation.
Thanks,
Ram

Defining operator in Analysis for office.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to put <= operator on calender day field in analysis for office. I'm so use to webi that didn't realize there's no option/feature in analysis that can directly let me select an operator to achieve the results. I'm working on a report that needs all the transactions processed before a certain date.
Is there any way i can use a operator to get the desired results.
Let me know if more information is required on this .
Thanks
GD Bhatt

hi Gaurav,
One option you could consider is using the filter feature in the document itsels.
Select an empty cell, and then insert the filter for the desired object:
Once the filter is in the excel, go into the input cell and edit the excel formula. Your default formula would probably look like this:
=SAPSetFilterComponent("DS_1", "0CALDAY", "ALL").
You can then use the formula editor to change it to- =SAPSetFilterComponent("DS_1", "0CALDAY", "ALL","LOWERBOUNDARY").
hope this helps

Analysis for Office - Security

Hello,
Our Basis team has deployed 'Analysis for Office' in our BO 4.1 system.
However, I am unable to see this Application in CMC in teh List of all Applications..
I need to configure Secuity for thsi Applciation. How do we do that if the applicaiton is not in CMC?
Thanks.

Hello tammy,
I did check the Admin Guide for Analysis Office: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AMS13/en/13_aaoffice_admin_en.pdf
From what I understand:
- Analysis for Office software needs to be installed on the individual PC of the users who want to use it.
- This will enable an option on the MS Excel/MS Word/etc. called Advanced Analysis
- The user can directly connect to the BW system. The data available to the user depends on the Authorization that the user has in BW system.
- There is no additional Security needed for "Analysis Office" itself.
Please correct me if I have missed anything.

Need workflow for Advanced Analysis for Office for Sizing

Hi,
I am in the process of sizing for BO solution .
Part of that exercise is to find out how much cpu and memory are required for AAO?
So i thought trace the AAO workflow and understand which BO services/servers it requires.
If anyone any idea about it workflow, please share.
Thanks,
Srikar

Hi Srikar,
Analysis for office goes directly to SAP BW / SAP HANA for data retrieval, so there is no need to consider it as part of your sizing exercise.
There is a note though about client Hardware and Software requirements:
1466118 - Hardware & Software requirements for Advanced Analysis
The only exception here is the new scheduling capability of Analysis for Office in the BI Platform, in that case the Adaptive Job Server is used.
Best regards,
Victor

Advanced Analysis for Office 1.1 - default workbook location

Is there a registry setting for the default workbook location? We are deploying Analysis for Office via Citrix and would like all users to use the same default workbook. By default, that setting is pointing to a location specific to the current user.
Anyone else deploying this way?
Thanks.

This setting is not managed by a registry key but by a file setting. You will find an xml file in the following folder after installing Analysis for Office:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\SAP AG\SAP BusinessObjects Advanced Analysis\Settings\Document
So to publish a global workbook template you would have to - as part of your rollout - push a global workbook template (excel file) into the users install directory + push an updated version of the xml file from the above file directory into the users Appdata... folder refering to that workbook template file.
Best regards,
Morten Kjeldsted

Where can I download Business Objects Analysis for Office Edition?

Hello
I was told by our SAP Rep that the software is available for us to download. I did not bother asking him for a link and now I am lost. I see BO software (server and client). I don't think Analysis for Office would be bundled in the Client tools, would it? Where do I download our licensed copy of this software?
TIA

How can I avoid query result overlapping in Analysis for Office?

Hello everybody
I have a question relating to Analysis for Office. If I've a workbook with for example two queries, how can I avoid that the query above the other one overlaps the query results of the lower query?
The lower query result should adapt according the the query results of the first query.
Does anybody have an idea? In Bex Analyzer I have the Option to insert a scrollbar for a workbook- is this function available in Analysis für Office? (But that way isn't the way I prefer).
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Heike

Not sure about this - could you take a look at this thread that suggests VBA Placing two tables in Analysis for office without overlap
I am wondering if the next release might help? See Figure 1 of Analysis Roadmap Update - Beta Preview, Part 2

Analysis for Office and Sharepoint Integration

Hi everyone,
we're looking for a possibility to open Analysis for Office Excel documents directly within SharePoint.
The BO Integration kit doesn't seem to support Analysis for Office documents.
Is it possible to use the Excel Services within SharePoint?
Is there any other way to open the Analysis document directly within SharePoint as this is possible for "standard" Excel-Documents?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Torben

Hi Michael,
the problem I am facing is not the generation of an OpenDocument link, I was already able to build one, but the passing of parameters to the Analysis workbook.
For example, I have an Analysis workbook based on a SAP query with a mandatory BEx variable. With the OpenDocument link I want to set the value of the variable dynamically.
Best regards
Stephan
