Refresh query when opening workbook is ticked automatically

Prior to Upgrade, the bex properties settings for "Refresh query when
opening workbook" was unticked(deactivated) and now after upgrade to BI
7.0 the bex properties "Refresh query when opening the workbook" is
ticked(activated).
Again, This has happened only to a particular strand.
Can anybody guide me on this. As a result of the above, all the work books are now refreshing automatically. This has affected hunderds of workbooks and we need to restore this back. Please help.

Hi Dave,
That is a local workbook setting. The setting is stored in the workbook on the sheet named SAPBEXqueries (see earlier postings on how to make this worksheet visible).
If there is only one query in the workbook, then look at at cell U4. This cell will read TRUE if the setting is check (do refresh on open) and will read FALSE if the setting is not checked (do not refresh on open).
One way to be sure that this setting is not altered would be to create a subroutine for the Workbook_BeforeClose event. The user then can make any selection they like, but you will over-ride it when they close the workbook.
Hope this helps.

Problem refreshing query when opening workbook in VBA

I have a report menu in a workbook not containing any queries - only the description, technical name and additional information about the reports.
I use Run ("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXreadWorkbook"), <TECHNICAL_NAME> to open the respective workbooks, which works fine.
However, if I try to refresh the query, BEx displays a message saying:
"Can only refresh this query agains a server of release 2.0 or higher: <QUERY DESTINATION RANGE>"
We're using BW 3.5!
After that, BEx is a complete mess:
- Open workbook dialog is from a previous version (without History, Favorites, Roles buttons)
- All workbooks are displayed, but if I try to open one, BEx claims that "The workbook does not exist in the document store". Then why display it, dear SAP programmers?
Now, if I disconnect and reconnect, the query can be refreshed as if I had opened the workbook directly instead of using VBA.
Our users like the idea of a report menu, so any help would be appreciated!

Changed the error handling as follows, dropped the SAPBEXinitConnection function, which is completely redundant:
Sub OpenWBTechName()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    Run ("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXreadWorkbook"), <TECHNAME>
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
    If Err.Number = 1004 Then ExtraInfo = "Start BEx Analyzer!"
    res = MsgBox("Sorry, could not open requested report!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ExtraInfo, vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Open SAP/BW workbook report: ERROR!")
End Sub

Rich Client keeps refreshing docs when opening them

Hello,
I would like to ask a question about the refresh on open with Rich Client. Using FP2.10, I have Rich Client which keeps refreshing documents when opening them. This happens even if the 'refresh on open' option is unchecked. I would like to know if there is another option that is forcing the refresh of my webi doc when opened with WRC.
this behavior I'm facing is systematic and does not depend on universe, document, objetc or whatsoever.
It happens when I create a brand new doc using demo universe (eFashion for instance). I use a prompt in the query; then I save the document locally as a .WID file making sure that option 'refresh on open' is uncheck. However when I open this newly created document, the prompt dialog box shows up meanign that the doc was refreshed.
This behavior is happening wiht only one machine. that' what made me think that it might be related to some configuration within that machine.
Thanks in advane for any input you might have to resolve this issue.
Best regads,
Mohamed

I have got a question with regards to this thread.
I understand the new option that has been added u201CDisable Automatic Refresh on Open for all documentsu201D
In this instancce all reports refresh when opened in WRC and not in Infoview?
Is this right specific to WRC or Webi in Infoview as well?
With BO administrator, the report does not refresh as u201CDisable Automatic Refresh on Open for all documentsu201D right is granted by default.
However, with a non-admin user, the report will refresh.
If the aforementioned right is granted to the non-admin user then the auto-refreshes stops.
Therefore, my query is:
Is this functionality of refreshing all documents specific to WRC or does it also applies to Webi in Infoview?
If specific to WRC then is it documented somewhere?
Thanks
Steph

Error when opening workbook

Hi
I'm recently having a problem when opening a workbook in BEx Analyzer.
This never used to be a problem, however when opneing it now I get following error message:
Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
System error in program CL_RSR_FIPT_TRANSFORMATOR and form GET_MAPPING-01
No information can be found on program CL_RSR_FIPT_TRANSFORMATOR...
I found that it has something to do with a conversion of a Key Figure using a budget rate, after I remove the conversion everything works fine.
Notes found on this problem: 930168
but this note states that support package 8 will solve the problem.
We are at 16...
Can someone help me?
Thnx!
Kind regards
Davy

Hi Murali
I found that it has something to do with a conversion of a Key Figure using a budget rate, after I remove the conversion everything works fine.
I tried building a new query from scratch, again the error appaers when using the conversion.
I executed other queries which also use the same conversion and they run fine.

Problem Refreshing Query Definition on Workbook

Hi guys ....i have a very strange case.....in 3.5 users can execute workbooks without problems and also can change global and local definition of the query on formulas and keyfigures....but the column header texts are not updated in workbook....i have a description for columns and rows on workbook and another description on definiton of query....i checked the "goto query defintion on refresh" on properties and nothing happens...headers are not refreshed.....
I hope somebody could help me
Regards

Hi,
Is there any macro written which may be overwriting the column header.
If this is not the case then you must have saved workbook when it was last edited by editing the column headers. You can change in workbook the heqader column and then see whether the column header is taken from query definition or what you have saved in workbook.

Niraj

HP Quality Center - Version 11 - Refresh Requirement when opening

Hello,
Is there a way to set up a requirement to automatically refresh prior to it opening (to show most current update). Currently, if there is a user (user 1) with the screen sitting on the requirements module and a user (user 2) making updates while user 1 is idle - the requirement does not automatically show the updates when user 1 opens the same requirement after user 2 completes the updates. User 1 will have to manually refresh the screen for it to get updated immediately. By user 1 not refreshing, the requirement does not shows the updates until after user 1 makes a change to the same requirement or upon closure of the requirement.
I tried using "Actions.Action("actFilterRefresh").Execute" but it did not work (unless I set it incorrectly).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This issue is usually due to having multiple monitors, particularly when used with a laptop where the configuration can frequently change. For example, when at one location, the display settings are such that the laptop is on the left and the secondary monitor is on the right, but at another, the laptop is on the right and the secondary monitor on the left. Applications remember where windows were when last opened, so if the monitors are not configured in the expected order, the window may be "invisible" when next opened. What is actually happening is described in nathanielcoyle's response regarding the coordinates of the window.
The solution is to go to the Display settings under Control Panel and reverse the order of the monitors. It may alternately help to change which monitor is considered the main display (this is just a theoretical guess). If you use dual monitors at work but only have one (your laptop) at home, you're pretty much hosed until you get back to work or find another monitor to plug in. That is, of course, unless you happen to have your QC administrator on speed dial to implement nmailey's solution.
Preventive measure: Always bring windows back into your main display before closing them.

Hiding some variables from displaying when opening workbook

Hi BW Gurus;
We are on BI7..
We have a BI workbook that has one query embedded in it that displays 3 input ready variables on startup.
(Selection Options, Optional Type Variables)
What we would like to do is to hide 2 of the variables in this workbook so that only one variable (Project Definition) is displayed and (Plant and Cost Centre variables) are hidden.
Is there a way to achieve this.
We have considered personalisation but need ALL users to see only the one plant at startup and also variants. The values for Plant and Cost Centre need to be blank however and just the project variable displayed.
We can also create a copy query removing the two not needed variables but would prefer an easier solution if there is one..
Any advice.
Thanks in advance..
Steve

If these Variables are just used in this particular Query. go and Edit these variables and make them not ready for Input.
You would not see them on the variable screen.

Auto refresh when opening a workbook

Hi
When I open a workbook, I would like the query to auto refresh. In that way the planning user will see the latest planning values and not the ones saved in the workbook.
Is there any functionality for running the planning function refresh automatically when the workbook is opened?
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Erik,
Once you open the workbook, just right click on result area and select properties.
In that select the Interaction tab and then check Refresh query when opening workbook.
Then dont forget to save the work book.

Automatic refresh of queries into workbook

Dear SAP fans,
I am using a workbook with 2 BEX queries and some VBA coding for each "onRefresh".
I set both queries to "refresh query when opening the workbook" so that my workbook is automatically updated when I open it.
Unfortunately the "system" automatically refreshes the queries in the "wrong" order. Therefore my result in incomplete...
Any idea to refresh the queries in the right order?
Alternatively, I was thinking to refresh the second query via VBA coding, but I can't get it right...
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Kind regards
Julien

Hi both,
Thanks a lot for your great answer:
S.Sankaran,
I saw the same behaviour, but was not quite sure it will be the rule...
This solution does work!
However I would be happy to use Sebastian solution, which sounds cleaner and more flexible...
Unfortunately I do not manage to make it work: I do not manage to get the option definition..
Seastian,
Could you help me to open the object katalog of the sapbex.xla?
Thanks again both of you!
Julien

Query form when opening the application (update state)

How do I set a form to auto query when opening it?
I read some things about, but did not find a good answer. I made a button which updates selected values in two LOV's. For that button to appear, i need to press the Query button. Else it is not visible.
Any id how I can get the form to open in a state, that the update button becomes visible?
THANKS!

I was able to do this with Javascript. In your first lOV, add the following code in the OnChange event:
javascript:for (var i=0; i < document.forms[0].elements.length; i++)
if (document.forms[0].elements.name.substring(document.forms[0].elements[i].name.indexOf('DEFAULT.')+8,document.forms[0].elements[i].name.lastIndexOf('.01')) == "QUERY_TOP")
do_event(this.form, document.forms[0].elements[i].name, 1, 'ON_CLICK', '');
