Problem to open a WorkBook

Hello All,
I cannot open a workbook after some modifications.
The error message is the following
<workbookname>.xls cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding.
Please, how can I recover the WorkBook ?
Thanks in advance.

Is this happening for only one workbook or all of them?
Also upload any simple XLS file into favorites and reopen after logout.
Also, xlsx is not supported and results in corrupted workbooks.
Check out following notes:
Note 887002 - BEx Open/Save Dialogs: known errors
Note 312503 - BEx Analyzer: Save/Read Workbook fails

Discoverer need a long time to open a workbook

Hi,
we have 2 workbooks with over 60 calculations/workbook
and the discoverer need over 2 min to open the parameter window.
looks that the discoverer check all calculations if they are valid or not before display the parameter window.
we had no problems with this 2 workbooks until our DBA's move our DB-Server to a other destination. (time for open 25 sec/workbook)
now, the network to the new destination is not so fast like the old one.
a trace gave us the follow information.
the discoverer send round 50,000 small packages to the DB
to the old Destination: 1ms/package
to the new Destination: 10ms/package
is there a way to disable the check function (Registry?) or know anyone what do the discoverer between "open workbook" and display the parameter window?
This 2 Workbooks are our most used query's in the company.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestion you may have which can help in addressing this issue.
Thanks,
Maurice

Maurice,
Have you discussed this issue with your network administrator? Another place is to check with the DBA if the new DB lacation's storage and memory. To tune the discoverer report itself, you may try to create a materilized view, or have a custom folder for each workbook.

Newly added discoverer responsibility does not open the workbook sheets

Adding reports to newly added discoverer responsibility does not open the workbook sheets
Actually its a new responsibility where i add existing workbook, also shared the business area but when trying to execute the report through my user firstly it says "Workbbok cannot be expanded, Unable to open workbook" later when i close the page i get the below error
“Contact with the Discover server has been lost. To continue with your work, please restart Discoverer Plus. If this problem persists, please contact your Oracle Application Server Administrator” error message.
Please suggest.

Hi,
You need to run a trace for this user to diagnose this issue. Look at note 133055.1 for more details.

Not Able to Open a workbook created by a User

Hi,
I am facing a lot of problems when trying to open a workbook created by userA. The Situation is as follows :
we have several workbooks which were created by a userA. This User Shared these workbooks to a responsibility. But recently this user left our company. Now we are trying to open his workbooks through the responsibility he shared but whenever i try to open it, it give me the following error :
Missing Item or Condition
The Main problem is, we dont even know what Business areas that workbook is using. Unfortunately there is no link between workbook and business areas from the back end (EUL Tables).
I dont have any clue , what should i do inorder to open those workbooks.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

AND QS.QS_CREATED_DATE > '01-JAN-2008'
AND QS.QS_DOC_NAME = workbook_name;
You can change the CREATED_DATE to be a more recent date and then enter the name of the Workbook as the last variable.
You will also need to have run the EUL5.SQL script, again as the EUL Owner.

Error of access denied opening a workbook in discoverer viewer 10.1.2

When I open a workbook in discoverere viewer in the html page shows this message:
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer no ha encontrado los datos necesarios para mostrar los resultados de este evento. Corrija los errores y vuelva a intentarlo.
- access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission oracle.discoverer.connections)
However data seems correct, but I don't know how to delete this message.
Thanks,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Metalink has some information regarding what sounds like a solution to your problem under Doc Id : 265228.1. Have a read and let us know if this is for you and whether you get it working in a development environment.
Symptoms
Discoverer 10g (9.0.4) Plus and Viewer throws 'page cannot be displayed'
Other symptoms
A.) Discoverer Plus shows a file download dialog with virus warning "Some files can harm your computer. If the file information below looks suspicious, or you do not fully trust the source,do not open or save the file."
Opening or cancelling will again throw "page cannot be displayed"
B.) Plus throws a blank page and Viewer throws 500 internal server error
Cause
Installation failure on configuring discoverer in OC4J_BI_Forms may caused the problem.
Using pre-production / beta code (M16b shiphome) will cause the problem.
Fix
1.) Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME(midtier)/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/config/java2.policy
2.) Add the below lines at the end of the file
================================
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/discoverer/lib/discoverer5.jar" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/j2ee/home/-" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/portal/jlib/pdkjava.jar" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/portal/jlib/ptlshare.jar" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
===========================
3.) Restart OPMN.
4.) Invoke Discoverer Plus or Viewer.
Let us know how you get on.

Can naybody help me in this regard as the same workbook is opening in other system..Points will be awarded for the helpful answers..
Thanks in advance..

Niyati,
That hotfix can run only to the 640, even we have the same problem over here. Actually you should not upgarde the front end patch if you want to install. But that hot fix might run or may not run, you may get issues later with the GUI..
All these probles will cause becoz of frontend patch... If you are at patch 27 then you need to unistall and come back to the same patch level as your colleague has... actually i dont know how to unistall that patch.. Or else try out with frontend patch 28...
Hope it helps..
Assign points if it helps

Getting error while opening the workbook

Hi,
I am getting one error while opening the workbook.
Error: The Dependency "Join condition" is not found in EUL.
Basically, the workbook was working fine. But we droped some joins and recreated new joins. After this change, our worknbooks starts giving this error.
Please advice.
Where i can get the dependency information in EUL?
Thanks, rajesh

This has to be one of the most 'pain in the butt' errors you can get (well ... 0000 - normal successful completion is another).
Although I've seen this one for years, these days I'm finding many more examples that are happening to me with this (simply the environment I'm in) and in many cases, requires rebuilding the workbook again. For example, sometimes I put in the join that I think it's having a problem with, but the existing workbook simply won't run. Recreating the workbook exactly the same gets it to work properly. Maybe it's a 4.x thing (version I'm on these days) ... but just a warning that you may well have to rebuild.

Problem in opening Query

Hi all,
I need to create a workbook on a query, Am facing problem in opening the query, when i try to open a query in analyzer/ RSRT it starts processing & continues till 1 hour or more & finally message "Time limit Exceeded" pops up.
i tried opening a workbook & copy the workbook & tried changing the query in the data provider. but the same problem persists.
can anyone suggest me an alternate way to create workbook on a specified query.
Regards
jasmine.

Hi arun,
It is not due to query performance coz all the performance related measure such as BIA & Aggregates are already taken, i dont even get the variable pop up screen for selecting &
once when i executed the query in RSRT it gave an ABAP Debugger errror. i check if it was problem with table space, but space is available & its auto extendable.

How to open a workbook in BEx 700

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to open a workbook in BEx, just knowing its ID and name?
Workbook is not saved in a role, psooibly in favourites of a user. In 3.5 using FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL
was a way to achieve this.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi again,
First of all thanks for answers.
Please let ne give a short explanetion of my issue:
i'm BW Admin, we are currently "moving" from 3.5 to 7.0. My problem is, that I'm missing al ot of ueseful tools, provided in 3.5.,
not longer available in 7.0, as you can see form my threads in the past. In all of the long years of working in IT, I never expeienced such a step back and a lack od conbienence intrducing a new release of any software.
However, one of my users is spending his holidays and a collegue just wants to run a workbook obviously saved
in his favourites. And I'm still searching for a possibilty for achieving this in a easy way, without changing settings in
user administration (copying favourites copying ,even etire user....).
Thanks and Regards
Joe

Macro not executing on opening a workbook in 2004s analyser

Hello Everyone,
I have a macro called callback in my workbook and in the workbook setting under the exits tabs I have checked "Run macro on refresh " option with callback as the macro.
The macro is not being executed automatically on opening the workbook even though the workbook is being refreshed on opening the workbook. Again If i were to refresh the query after opening the workbook it gets invoked.
A couple of people seem to have same issue but no one has a clear cut solution.
Please be advised that I am using 7.0 and I am SPS15 with FEP 6 and patch 1.

Hi Mitchell,
This is actual code I have used :
Sub Macrotest(ParamArray varname())
' Macro1 Macro
    Range("H2").Select
    Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
    Range("K2").Select
    Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
End Sub
The problem I have is that the macro is not invoked the very first time I open a workbook (I have the query refresh on wokrbook option set). Once the workbook is open changing the report or variables trigger the macro.
Anyways I have sent an error message to SAP, will update this thread on feedback from them.

Auto-load SAPBEX.vba when opening the workbook

Hi,
I open a query from SAP BW ... I make all the changes I need and I even check the box that says Refresh query everytime you open the workbook. The problem is that when I open the workbook it's just like a regular Excel...because the SAPBEX.vba file is not loaded anymore.
Any ideas on how can I solve this?
I want the workbook updated with the latest data every time I open the workbook.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please reinstall the FEP with latest it should resolved your issue.
Thanks,

Critical program error in BEx designer when open the workbook

problem is coming related to Workbook.when i m opening the workbook then busiess explorer giving the error messgae i.e * A critical program error has occured. The program will now terminare.please refer to the trace for further information * kindly please provide the best solution for this problems.

hello , I got the same error while opening a workbook, and I found that this is happening coz I made some changes in Query structure contained into workbook.
So when you are opening and inserting the input variable do following things:
1.Open the workbook and insert the variable, but do not click "OK" just click on "CANCEL",
and your Workbook will display without data .
2.Now go to "Design Mode" reinsert the query by refreshing dataprovider(data analysis grid), and do the changes if you required and exit design mode,
3. Save workbook and now insert the variable values and check the work book will work without any error.
Thanks Hope it will help, coz it helped me.

PowerPivot Gallery "No Items to Show We can't open this workbook."

I am setting up a SP 2013 (Enterprise) install, and created a PowerPivot Site Site Collection. Everything seems to be working - I upload one Excel file to the PowerPivot Gallery, and that is fine. It renders the display images correctly. But then if I try
to open the Excel file, I get the error:
No Items to Show
We can't open this workbook. It's set to show only certain named items, but they aren't in the workbook.
You might want to contact the author for more information.
I tried to "Open & Repair" the .xlsx file in Excel 2013 on my desktop, and then re-upload, but that did not fix things. I have no problem with other Excel files I've tried. Any suggestions here?

Hi cgtyoder,
Please create another simple Excle for testing, see if the issue only haapen to this particular Excel file, then check if there are some mis-configurationins in the Excel file or SharPoint gallery side, e.g. if each Named Item is
correct and existing.

Oracle Discoverer unable to open the workbook due to insufficient Permissio

I have an error message when I try to open a workbook with some worksheet.
( It's working fine with only one Worksheet)
Any idea ?

Well here's how it's supposed to work.
Step 1: Create workbook A with 5 reports (5 worksheets)
Step 2: Go into Disco Admin and make sure each business area where the folder(s) referred to in the step 1 can be seen by each user you're sharing the workbook with (security). For example, if worksheet 1 accesses business area: GL_Stuff, then security on GL_Stuff must be with all 5 users you'll share the report with.
Step 3. Share workbook A with the 5 users (via Plus or Desktop where you created the workbook).
Step 4. All users can see and run the workbook / worksheet.
Questions:
1. I don't know what you mean in your Step 3. There's no permissions at this point. What you do is give read to ALL tables / views, etc. to the owner of the EUL. Then either the owner of the EUL (or another user who has been given admin privs) controls security to other roles via the Tools-> Security window in Admin.
2. Are you 5 worksheets based on the same business area or are they going to different business areas. No problem if going to different ones, but you must make sure security for sharing with the other users / roles is for each business area they will be using to retrieve data from the folder and therefore the underlying view / table / sql statement.
