Problems using BEx / Macro

Hi
I have 2 users that expierience strange errors in BEx.
The first user is able to update queries and execute variable selections. If he however tries to change a query the message "Argument not optional" is displayed and nothing happens. Any Idea? Other users have the same authorizations without this error.
The second users Excel session crashes every time he tries to log on BW from Excel. If he however logon from SAP BW TC RRMX there is no problems. Any idea?
Chris

Hi Aneesh
The useres are updated Gui support package 54 and 15 for BW. Other users using the same Gui version do not expierience problems.

Problems using Bex 3.x on Citrix Terminal Server Nw2004s

Hello,
we've got some problems using Bex 3.x on Ctirix Terminal Server.
1.) There are 3 Windows displayed (1)sapbex.xla
remote (2) Mappe 1
remote (3) Mappe
Why these Remote-Windonws are diplayed ? Do I have to set a path ?
2.) There occurs after a time when the Query should be changed ? No entry in SM21 ? An unexpected 'unable to show modal form within this context' error occured in wdbrlog"
Is there any connection time out-setting for the Bex ?
Thanks
Frank

Re: CS4 missing features and functions
The problem is caused by a bug in the handling of US and GB language files either in InDesign CS4 or its installation program.
You can "force repair" this by using a macro I made: www.e-fastems.com/cs4_indesign_repair_missing_help_and_shortcuts.zip
In the last step, you need to choose the default shortcut set of your area. E.g. For me it was [Default Finnish]
I'm not sure if there are more similar problems in CS4. But in my company, we were able to fix the problem in InDesign CS4 using this macro.
--end--

OK, that's a zip archive that contains a simple DOS script that does the file operations that are described at How I fixed the missing shortcuts in InDesign CS4 which is where you found the post.
To run it you need to first unzip the file, then double click the .cmd file. It's designed to work with a program being installed in C:\Program files, so if you have a different path, you'll need to do some editing. You should be able to open the .cmd file in Notepad to do that.
I strongly recommend you create a resore point, at the very least, before running the file, and a real backup would be prudent.

Problem in delevering an email to the recipent inbox using BEx Broadcaster.

Hi Gurus,
I was trying to send an e-mail with output format(HTML,PDF,EXCEL etc) using BEx Braodcaster wizard - Whenever I press execute in BI 7.0 BEx Broadcaster wizard after giving e-mail adress, contents, and subject the session is closing and it displays the message.. 'Started to send document Zxxx.hmt' .
But finally the recipent is not getting an e-mail in to his inbox. It shows the status as sent but no mail is delevered with the attachment. Receipent e-mial address is correct and sender settings in SU01 are (ex. E-mail adrress, username, and Communication method - E-mail ).
I dont understand why e-mails are not delivering to the recipent inbox. Could you please guide me in this regard with your inputs ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Sasi

Hi,
call transaction SCOT and see if you have error or in transit messages under the internet node;
You can start the send process manually from here and if it works (ask your basis if it doesn't)...
Please note that you need to schedule a job to be executed on regular basis to send the emails... (menu view / jobs)
hope this helps...

Error when trying to generate a report using BEX Quesry in Crystal Reoprts

HI Experts,
As per the SAP NOTE we did FP 2.6 Unicode Transports and then SP3 transports. Transports are imported with min Errors.
Now *when am trying to generate a report using BEX Quesry in Crystal Reoprts* am getting error
"Database Connector Error: BAPI Error #:0
Error occurred when starting the parser: timeout during allocate /CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' "
*When trying to Generate using OLAP CUBE Report Wizard. AM getting Error*
" READING OLAP META DATA FAILED."
Thanks,
Bharath

This is not really the correct forum to be posting Reports issues. However, if I were to guess, your issue is likely related to the known issues related to installing FMw11R1 on machines which had IPv6 enabled. In most cases, disabling IPv6 would correct the problem, however some issues were not resolved even after disabling IPv6 post-install. I would recommend patching to WLS 10.3.6 and FMw 11.1.1.6 as these versions include fixes for all of those issues as far as I recall.
Consider referring to this MyOracleSupport document if you have access:
Steps to Maintain Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (Doc ID 1073776.1)

How to use a macro with AAA Authorization set?

So!
We have ACS version 4.1, and one goal is to start working on authorization sets for groups. I am able to get basic commands to work, but was curious about making a macro work without having to allow all of the commands that are actually contained wihtin the macro itself.
I'm looking into this to promote standardization and minimize confiugration issues/inconsistencies on ports accross swtiches in our environment.
The macro I created is used for configuring a port on a swtich to change its VLAN. Basically as follows:
macro name T2
Description $DESC
switchport mode access
no cdp enable
switchport access vlan $STATIC
switchport port-security
switchport port-security aging time 2
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
storm-control broadcast level 25.00
storm-control action trap
switchport nonegotiate
no lldp transmit
no lldp receive
#macro keywords $DESC $STATIC
In ACS I've created a shell command authorization set, and allowed 'macro' with 'permit apply T2' and 'permit trace T2'. This works fine and allows me to use those macro commands. The problem I'm having is that every command in the macro is not allowed in the authorization set, so when I run the macro it fails for each command.
I don't want to allow each individual command in the authorization set as it would then allow jr. admins the ability to make config changes on ports that would be outside of our standard. For example they could get into a port and forget to disable CDP and LLDP, casuing inconsistencies accross the envrionment. Is there a way to run these macros without putting all of the commands in the authorization set?

Hello Eric,
Please see the below link for configuring Macro and how you can use them with AAA

Using Excel macros & change properties

Hi,
1) my program use Excel macro via a runtime.exec(cmd). I want to use JWS to deliver new versions of application but if I have to put my macros in a jar file how can I reach them (no problem with a file propertie or with gif ressources).
2) how can I change default properties ("Dossier des applications" in French maybe Applications dir in advanced) wich is enabled in the window.
thanks a lot
Sophie

1) my program use Excel macro via a runtime.exec(cmd).
I want to use JWS to deliver new versions of
application but if I have to put my macros in a jar
file how can I reach them (no problem with a file
propertie or with gif ressources).You have a lot of options how to do this.
I would try to use the I/O APIs that reads the macro file
from a web server (InputStream is = url.openStream()) and put it
in a local file (FileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)).
Of course you would need a local location where to store it, could
be hardwired, or asked from the user.
2) how can I change default properties ("Dossier des
applications" in French maybe Applications dir in
advanced) wich is enabled in the window.I do not understand what you want to do. Explain again.

Execute Infopackage Through BAPI Using Excel Macro (BAPI_IPAK_START)

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when execute infopackage through BAPI using excel macro. I have create a button in macro. When this button is clicked, BAPI for trigger InfoPackage will executed (BAPI_IPAK_START) and this button will disabled.
After this process completely done (traffic indicator for the request is green in update rules), the button will enabled again.
Here the subroutine or pseudocode that i will write :
Private Sub ClickButton()
Begin
1. ThisButton.Activated = False --> Disabled Button
2. Call BAPI/custom Function Module to execute InfoPackage (BAPI_IPAK_START)
4. ThisButton.Activated = True --> Enabled Button
End
The problem is i need some statement like this between statement no 2 and statement no 4
Statement That I Want :
3. Wait Until BAPI Execute Completely
So user can click this button again only after the process is finished completely. I don't know how to do this in macro (in ABAP i know i can use "WAIT ... SECOND"), others said this can be done using event in schedule option at infopackage. Anyone,please help me.
Thank you.

Satria B

RWD Uperform and BW (Using BEX Analyzer)

We are currently trying to record our BW/BI training materials with uPerform. When we try to execute the actual query to produce the report while recording, our PCs lock up and no results are returned. It actually takes closing out UPerform and BEX to get the system operational again.
Is anyone else having problems with BEX and UPerofrm?
We have tried changing settings within UPerform but have had no luck.
Suggestions anyone?
Thank you for any help...

We finally received this following information from RWD:
I believe this may be a recently discovered issue with recording Business Warehouse while the Recorder toolbar/window is visible. Could you try minimizing the toolbar before starting the recording and see if that resolves the issue? To minimize the toolbar, you will need to click the button that looks like a window with a red arrow pointing down.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If not, I should be able to set up a Webex session to troubleshoot this afternoon before 2 PM if you are available.
Thanks,
Chandra Mullineaux | RWD Senior Product Support Specialist | RWD Technologies | www.rwd.com
I was able to record a UPerform with the minimized tool bar, but the results in the task and screen flow section are of no use.
The Procedure did record with partial screen prints (not always the relevant data), but with the direction of 'Click Control'.
So technically this fix works, but the documentation is still pretty useless.

BW on HANA Trial - Using BEx Analyzer

Hello,
is my assumption correct that it is not possible to use BEx Analyzer with the BW on HANA Trial?
When I try to start BEx Analyzer via remote desktop of my instance nothing happened. Also I found a comment that there is a license problem with micrsoft und that´s the reason why it doesn´t work.
Do you know any workarround to use BEx Analyzer or Analysis for Office with BW on HANA Trial?
Thanks for your help!
Christine

Hello Christina,
the private network option will be offered when you setup your AWS account with the VPC settings.
More details can be found in the FAQ section.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-33673
if you want to use your local GUI you will have to open the corresponding ports in the Virtual Machine settings.
I would also like to highlight the fact, that this is a Trial and that - based on the Terms and Conditions - you can not upload your own data and you can not connect it to your own ERP systems.
see the restrictions here:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-58120
A trial is there for you to experience the software based on the predefined scenarios.
regards

"Before Aggregation is Obsolete": BI 7, using BEx 3.x.

Good day
We have upgraded to BI 7 but is still using BEx 3.x.
I received a problem on a BEx query. The Aggregation in the CKF's properties is set to "Before aggregation". Now with BI 7, it is not accepted. I have read through all the threads relating to this issue and exception aggregation, but nowhere could I find a clear answer for my related problem. I've found proposed solutions on SDN ie. (1) You have to change this setting in the "old" BEx Query desginer (3.5). (2) U need to use exception aggregation and set the properties on each infoobject level in BI 7.0"
But what does the above really means?
What I have done: I have created a new CKF with the aggregation setting to "After Aggregation". I added the new CKF to the query. Unfortunately the user cannot find a previous saved report in order for me to validate the figures between before the upgrade and after the upgrade, with the new setting, to BI 7.
Question: Is this the only setting I need to change?
Thanks in Advance.

you're "lowest level of detail" for the calculation you are trying to accomplish, should either be: a product, a customer, a document number OR a combination of document number and item
it totally depends on your specific case, so I cannot help you unless you tell me what kind of data you're reporting on... right now, all I know is that you have some kind of vehicle class and invoice group... so I'm assuming you have a level "vehicle" as well? now you need to ask yourself, what exactly am I trying to calculate... and try that in Excel... it should be clear from there how to "set it up" in BI

Broadcasting to Enterprise Portal using Bex Broadcaster from Query Designer

I have already been able to broadcast from Query Designer using BEx Broadcaster to the portal based on a role or a user.
I select "Export into Enterprise Portal" as the Distribution Type.
I then select "Export Document to Personal Portfolio" and then enter a role.
Then I check "User-specific" because I want it to be user specific.
This all works fine.
Now I get to my question.
Can I go one step further and broadcast to a folder call... lets say "Sales" inside of their Personal Portfolio?

Hi Eric,
I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve it?

Problem using File sharing in a small office network

I have a problem using File sharing on an Imac and Macbook Pro.
My office has a small network running Windows Small office file server 2003. I have one Windows 2000 PC connected to it and 3 Macs, an 2.4 gHz Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 , a MBP running the same and a Mac Mini running 10.5.
From the Finder Shared window of the Mac Mini, I can see all the computers on the network. It also used to be the case for the iMac, but the MBP could never see the Windows PC’s, not the server or the Win2000. This wasn’t a big problem as I was communicating between the Macs and using the shared printer on the iMac.
On Monday Jan 19 the iMac was suddenly unavailable to the other 2 Macs. It was working normally on the Friday. The iMac can access the Mac Mini and copy files to it. The Mac Mini can see the iMac but cannot access it. Even trying to connect as, ends in a failed connection. I have tried rebooting, turning File sharing off and then on again to no avail.
The iMac now also cannot see the Windows PC’s which it previously could.
To get files from the MBP for printing, I now copy it to the Mac Mini and acces the folder from the iMac, a very tedious procedure. I don’t know why this happened and am scared that the Mac Mini is going to do the same thing.
All three computers are also running VMware 2.0 with Windows XP pro, and from VMware the server is visible on all the computers.
Any help will be much appreciated, I live in a small town in South Africa and the local computer suppliers have no knowledge of the Macs.
I think that the problem with the iMac may have started after a software upgrade to 10.5.6 but I am not entirely sure.
Thank you
ajdk

Well, you're current method sounds pretty good. But if you want to user a file server, hey go ahead.
What you want to do when you centralize project files is to keep track of which one is the newest and becareful not to overwrite files with the same name. So you either have to set up individual spaces on the server (separate AFP/FTP folders maybe), or you'll need to run a file checkout service.
The individual space is cheaper, but it's not much of a difference from backing up to the network drive. Since you have Gigabit connections, you might even opt to save ALL the user files on the server instead of just the project files.
If you want to run a file checkout service, there's two approaches. You can run a service that can host any kind of file, or you can run a version control system for each kind of application (Photoshop, Word, etc.). Please notice, that as you read further and further along, the methods become more and more expensive and complicated. Once you get to this point, it will be necessary to purchase or build software in addition to the Mac OS X Server package.

Huge problem using apple mail while sending email to a group...

Hey - I am quite confused... apple mail has huge problems using groups with about 150 addresses when writing and sending an email... the writing of emails is nearly impossible. Once the group name is inserted in the addressline (address book in iCloud!), apple mail uses nearly 100% CPU and further writing is nearly impossible. When sending such an email, all addresses are suddenly visible - though the box is NOT checked and the addresses should be hidden... what can I do? I use this feature (sending mails to groups) on a daily basis and cannot accept visible addresses...
Greetings and sorry for inconvenient english...
Christof

How about next time you send to the group, cc yourself, or include yourself in the group. Then receive the email on the iphone, you can "reply all" in order to send to the group. If you use an imap account, you can make a new folder, call it something like "groups", and save different group emails there for the next time you need to "reply all".
