Problem displaying Web charts via Excel 2003

Hello,
While displaying a Web template via a hyperlink in <b>Excel 2003</b> (the hyperlink contains the template's URL), all charts in the template aren't displayed. The small red x appears in the chart's area. Charts are displayed only after refreshing the browser.
Same scenario works fine with Excel XP !!!
No problem occures when openning the same URL directly in the browser, so I guess the problem relates somehow to the hyperlink.
Any ideas?
Thanx.

Strange...
I can think of a hack: Have an intermediate html page that gets displayed first anytime the display type (html/xls) is changed. Just a blank html page with a redirect that directs to the source you really want to display.
Should be transparent, and it should clear up your problem as you described it.

1.1.3 problems displaying web pages

After updating (and paying $20) to 1.1.3 Safari on my iTouch is now not displaying web pages nicely. Most don't fully load. Some load as text instead of html. Often I get "can't locate server." even for CNN and Apple.com. Google search doesn't work.
All these pages load to some degree but something is missing?!?!?
"Cannot connect to YouTube"
"Error Retrieving Chart" when trying to get stocks from Yahoo widget.
Anyone else having these issues??

Misery loves company..... I'm having the EXACT same symptoms. The Weather app also gets a failure trying to update. It's even erratic trying to access the iTunes on my iPod. Most times, I get an unable to connect to server message after it appears some items are downloaded. On Mail, it works, but even though I'm accessing Gmail via POP, after accessing it okay it then tries to access via IMAP, and gives me an error. And it sometimes will give me an entry saying "Download next 25...." and shows me I have a few million unread emails. But if I tap that entry it goes away. I'm also using a WRT54ag, but I really have a problem having to swap this out to get wireless going again. Hopefully, Apple will come to the rescue before I decide I need to go down that path. I also tired to restore the iPod, but after a few minutes it told me it couldn't restore. I've seen workarounds for that, but.... Anyway, at least I know I'm not hallucinating all these quirky problems.

Problems embedding PDF files into Excel 2003 workbooks

Several of my fellow consultants engaged on a client project were previously able to successfully embed PDF files as objects within Excel 2003 workbooks. However, most recently, a few of them have been encountering odd icon displays for the embedded object (not the standard Adobe PDF icon), resulting in the user unable to view the object (these colleagues are using desktop PCs running Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2). Has anyone encountered this and have a remedy?

Thanks for responding -
My colleagues report that no error messages appear when adding the object to the Excel spreadsheet - however, the object is created with a non PDF icon being displayed. Once the icon is double clicked, nothing appears. The sample of the problem was forwarded to me - where I can see that the object icon is in fact a non Adobe PDF icon (see below). While I am able to open the PDF file with my PC desktop configuration (Windows XP, Excel 2007, Adobe Reader v9.4.1.), those with Windows XP, Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader v9.3.2 can not. Any thoughts?

Printing problem Adobe Pro X from Excel 2003

I produce a number of reports each month using Excel 2003 and printing/converting them to PDF documents. All were nicely formatted and printed perfectly and reliably using Adobe 5.0 (ancient I know). I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro X. Now what once printed nicley only prints part of a page - about the right 1/3 is not showing. Even when selecting "fit to 1 page wide and 1 page tall" in excel page setup doesn't fix the problem. Changing the BINDING setting in Adobe doesn't fix the problem either. Previously I selected Adobe Writer from my printer listing which I understand has been discontinued. Now my only option is Adobe PDF. Any suggestions?

Interesting. My approach would
1. Try on a different system if available. If still bad...
2. Try to create a simple test application with CreateDC and StartDoc, and really nothing else not absolutely needed.
Test that. If it is good, look for other problems in your application (e.g. memory overwrite).
If your little example is still bad, post it here and other people can try and compare your results.

Problems displaying Web Templates in Enterprise Portal

Hi folks,
I'm trying to create an iView showing a BI-Webtemplate. Both systems, the BI and the EP are running on different servers in the same domain and are both using Netweaver 7.0.
I've created a new system using the "SAP System Dedicated Application Server"-Template. I've also configured all necessary options for a connection via the WAS and logon with UIDPWD. The connection test also succeeds.
From the Web Application Designer I got the following URL to my web template:
http://<domain>:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=Z_BL_GP_RW_01&DUMMY=1
I've then created an iView (BEx Web Application iView (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Format)) pasting TEMPLATE=Z_BL_GP_RW_01&DUMMY=1 as web application query string and entered the correct system alias.
The problem is, when previewing I can enter my credentials but then I receive a 404 error. It's not that the template isn't there, the URL generated by the portal to call the template is wrong, because the wrong port is used. The generated URL is:
http://<domain>:8000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher
Well, it's the right port for the WAS, but apparently not the right port for the web template which should be 50000. When I set the the port in the system configuration for the WAS to 50000, the connection test fails, but I don't get a 404 error when previewing the iView. Nonetheless the template is not displayed correctly...
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Danny,
Logon to the BI system and go to transaction SE37 and execute RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET to get the portnumber, try applying this and test your iview again.
If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you to refer to SAP Note 937697 - Usage of SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool, it is a pretty simple tool and helps in resolving most issues with regards to BI Portal integration.
Cheers!

Web Chart to Excel

Hi All,
The Howto Webprinting With Excel says that not all BW Web Items are supported but a couple are. Specifically with the Chart is says:

Typical problems with Data in MS Excel 2003

Hi,
I am uploading more than 21,000 records of Data to Business Partner table from xls file.
Earlier I was doing it with ease, now the Data is being imported to the repository.
I am using the same map at the time of import. It also has remote key mapping.
After the import, # character and some unusal character is being displayed in the
Data Manager while the xls sheet does not have any # or any special character
in it.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Some times Jet Drivers used by import manager incorrectly determines the data type of the field of excel file.
Try to import data from same source file again after doing following configurations:
1. go to windows registry editor and change TYPEGUESSROWS "dword" key value for following registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICORSOFT \ JET\4.0\ENGINES\EXCEL from its current value to 0. (if it is already zero then it means you did it when you executed import manager first time. SO you just need to perform step 2)
2. Open your excel file and select column which i getting wrongly imported, right click and assign correct format. and then try to import it.
Please follow these steps and let us know the result.
Regards
Shiv.

Problem Exporting Webi report to Excel in Edit mode

I have posted this question on BOB forum [http://forumtopics.org/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=189429&sid=8539bfcc4dbbf782ba1a9950085373ed] and found no response so I am cross posting here.
I have two environments: Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 and Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 FP3.6. On both instances when I open reports in web intelligence and try to export it to excel (using Save to my computer as Excel) I will get a "file download" dialog box asking me if I want to open, save or cancel. However when I am in Edit mode I get the same options to save/open only in the first instance(SP2), what I get in sp3 is a somewhat different "save docuemnt" dialog box (with a save as type all files not explicitly excel), doesnt allow users to open at all. I need your help to get the file download option to open/save when i export reports to excel in the second instance too. BTW it works fine for PDF export.
Thanks.

Please check if matches this behavior and if the suggested solution works
[1467147 - Neither File Download dialog box is shown, nor error ERR_WIS_30271 occurs when saving the Web Intelligence document as Excel file in Java Report Panel after Binary Stream Maximum Size has been reached |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1467147]
Worth to have a look also to this KBA for higher SP levels
[1665049 - Save behavior is inconsistent in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI3.1 SP4 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1665049]
PS: Just noticed also that there is a bug ADAPT01568649 for which the option for saving as Excel doesn't appear.
This is fixed in FP3.7

Help! problem displaying Web Photo Gallery in IE and Windows browser

Hi all,
Sorry if this issue is old news but, i have tried to find the answer in the archives first, with no luck.
It's about this;
I am working with Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS2.
Recently i haveust published Web Photo Gallery on my website.
It looks good in Safari and Firefox. But when viewed in Internet Explorer it's totally different layout. Thumbnails are shifted to the middle of the frame, and it is not a pretty sight.
Can't find the way to fix it...
here is the link
http://www.exornocreations.com/html/gallery/pendants/PENDANTSindex.html
If someone here has a clue how to go about it and wants to share a good tip i would be eternally grateful.
Many thanks,
Karmela

>There are more browsers than just IE that will have trouble with this page.
Which ones?
I am currently building a site for a client and I have a page which should play a Movie inside an iFrame.
My HTML includes heights and widths and is as follows (angled brackets have been removed for display purposes in the Forum):
"iframe id="movie_play_iFrame" name="movie_play_iFrame" src="../movie/Movie-screen.gif" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" align="middle" height="269" width="398" /iframe"
This works perfectly in the latest available version of Safari, Firefox, Netscape, AOL, and Opera.
The only one that it does NOT work in is IE.
In IE, the movie plays all right but it does so in a new window and not in the required position on the page (which is inside the iFrame).

Web Analysis Problem using the "Send to Excel" service

I built reports using WebAnalysis 9.3.0.
I attached the "Send to Excel" service button to my report. I am using a combination of Excel 2003 & 2007.
I have the following settings in my webanalysis.properties file:
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
My problem is when I try to use the "Send to Excel" button. For "small" reports Excel opens quickly with my report information. Small being around 1,000 rows and 20 columns. If I add more rows, say another 400 or so - Excel never opens with my report information. Web Analysis sits there for about 5 minutes or so and does nothing. After that I can start using WA again - but no report in Excel.
I get the same result by right clicking on the report in WA Studio and selecting "Export Data..."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe;C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
Where D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on the server where WA Studio is installed.
And C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on my laptop.
This did not correct my problem.
Am I using the ExcelPath=.... correctly?
I was not sure this would work since WA Studio successfully starts Excel for "smaller" reports. But I tried it anyway.
Any ideas?

Excel Analyzer template problems with Excel 2003

There are numerous common problems when using Excel Analyzer templates with the Analyzer Add-In for Excel 2003:
The following problems have been found in the latest version of the stand-alone BI Publisher version 10.1.3.3.2:
1) If your report name is more than 24 characters long, the Excel Analyzer template will never open in Excel. The error is completely uninformative, too. The reason is that the Analyzer template tries to make a tab in the Excel file called <report_name>.xdo. Since tab names can only be about 26 characters long, Excel chokes when opening the file. It would have been nice if BI Publisher printed an error when encountering this situation.
2) If your report produces too many rows, Excel will time out when opening the Analyzer template. Again, the error in this case is completely uninformative. In fact it appears no different from the error in (1). Excel 2003 is supposed to have a row limit of 65,000, but we can't get the Excel Analyzer template to open with more than about 15,000 rows. This is a completely unacceptable limitation if you're going to be making pivot tables in Excel. This is a processing time-out problem, which cannot be remedied by changing any settings in BI Publisher.
3) If you use the data in your Excel Analyzer template to make a wide report, like maybe one column for each day in the year, because maybe you want to plot the data over a full year, then forget about opening this report successfully. Since the number of days in a year is more than 256, Excel will choke when trying to open the template. No informative error here either.
4) If you're going to make a Pivot Chart in Excel, in the Analyzer template, then your reports cannot produce more than 256 rows. I'm not talking columns, I'm talking ROWS people! No more than 256 rows. This is because Pivot Charts require creating a sideways pivot table, which means your rows end up as columns. This is the only way to plot data with time on the x-axis, which is where it should almost always be.

Report Manager - Template Conversion Problems Excel 2003/2007

Hello,
We are having an issue in which templates created using excel 2003 are showing incorrectly formatted outputs in excel 2007. We have performed testing by creating new templates in Excel 2007 and most formatting is correct as long as we only make minimal changes to the initial template. Once the template is changed to a further extent the formatting is correct but no actual output shows, just the token defaults. Patches have been applied for both the issue of incorrect formatting caused by Excel's smartcutandpaste and also the problem with the token defaults showing instead of actual Oracle data. We would prefer not to have to recreate the templates as this would be a lengthy process. To me it seems as something was modified that affected the existing templates (other than the Generic FSG Template, which works fine), but does not affect newly created templates. Other methods of viewing the data work fine (pdf and html).
Any ideas?

The BNE.log for the report that would not show the data (due to column deletion):

The same error appears on the report that works fine (one without deleting columns):
10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Error trying to check whether the job will be importing.
10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Parameter value is not a Boolean.

10/20/10 3:22 PM ERROR BneAsyncUploadPage.renderPage Parameter value is not a Boolean.
The client is testing now and believes the report output is what she needs and will not need to delete the columns afterall, but for my curiosty, any ideas?

Anyone seen this problem with Excel 2003?

We're developing a Microsoft Excel-based app. The help system uses HTML Help (.chm) format, and works just fine with Excel 2007 and 2010. However, since a lot of potential users out there are still using older versions, we've been asked to adapt the app for Excel 2002 and 2003.
The help system works, more or less, with Excel 2002, but when we try it with Excel 2003 the tri-pane is missing. The default topic appears but the left-hand pane containing the navigation system (TOC, Index and Search) is missing. Consequently, users can't move away from the default topic. Has anyone come across this problem before, and do you know how to fix it?

I cannot help you with this one other than to say I haven't seen any other such reports. That may suggest it is worth checking for some small difference you haven't identified yet.
Of course it could also mean there aren't many people with that workflow.

Problem in accessing Web Service from Excel

Hi All,
I have faced a new problem when calling WS from Excel.
I have created a WS from CAF which has one method and the method takes a list (a table) of structure as an input and returns a string as output. The structure contains three fields
such as
medPlace -- String
publictn - String
amount - long
This WS is working fine when I am testing from WS Nevigator.
Now I have imported the WS in Excel and now the data types are like
medPlace -- String
publictn - String
amount - double
My requirement is to send the multiple row of the Excel to the WS at a time( I mean as a List). So when I have executed it first time I got error like deserialisation error. But I got an article (SAP Web Services and Microsoft Office: How to Create Simple Composite Applications ) by Marcus Schiffer and that problem is resolved.
But Now I am getting the error like ......Client:Type conversion failure for element eXLSTRUCT0 HRESULT=0x80020005: Type mismatch. - Client:Unspecified client error. HRESULT=0x80020005: Type mismatch.
eXLSTRUCT0 - This is my structure name in input.
Can you please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible that your web service is receiving something
