SAP Bex Analyzer (Netweaver 7.1) Opens workbooks twice when starting.

We just upgraded from bex 3.5 to 7.1, and have set it to open the Analyzer whenever excel starts. But now whenever we open an excel workbook it opens each workbook twice. We have one file in the XLSTART folder that loads in macro's but just opens a blank workbook. The file we are opening has code that sets calculation to manual and prompts the user that it has set to manual.
Whenever we open a file, it promps the user twice about setting it to manual, but only 1 workbooks pops up (because excel only allows one workbook with the same name to be open at a time), but we also get two blank workbooks that open up because the file in the XLSTART folder is being opened twice as well.
Has anyone else seen this problem with workbooks being opened twice, or attempting to be opened twice with bex analyzer 7.1?

What version of SAP-GUI are you using ? SAP-GUI 7.2 (latest version) was heavily rewritten using Visual Studio and SAP has stated that certain features that existed in earlier SAP-GUI versions are no longer available (it's Microsoft's Fault). It is also quite possible that your initial launch macro in Excel is causing the problem.
I would personally recommend that you do NOT launch Bex Analyzer when Excel opens, unless this is your primary method to interact with Bex workbooks and such. That may resolve your issue.

Vb error 'run-time error '13', type mismatch when starting SAP BEX Analyzer

Dear experts,
I encountered the above error whenever I opened the BEX analyzer either from the start program or call sap transaction 'RRMX'.
My desktop is currently running BEX 3.50 with patch level 5 and office XP and my SAPGUI version is SAPGUI 6.4 compilation 2, patch level 11.
I have tried installed and reintalled SAPGUI and also downloded the latest patch from the net but still having the same problem.
Any input/help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
NCW

I managed to solve the problem by uninstalling some of the recent Microsoft XP security patch (released in April '05). So, I think the problem is due to the security patch.
Just hope that there will be a fix by SAP so that we can still have the uptodate security patches.

SAP BEX Analyzer Set values for variables

Please help us out in sorting out this problem,
We are automating BEx Analyzer for a Testing Project with Quick Test Professional (QTP) a functional automation tool uses VB script.
Problem:
There are 5 steps in automation
Invoke BEx Application
Log in to BEx server
Run Query
Set values for Variables for Query
Display Report
We are able to do 1,2,3 steps using BEx API functions and running BEx macros but we struck up with 4th step,
1. Invoke BEx Application
Launch Excel
Dim app
Set app = createobject("Excel.Application")
Make it visible
app.Visible = true
Attach add-in to Excel file
app.Run ("'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SetStart")
2. Log in to BEx server
Login to Bex server
Function logonToBW(app)
Dim myConnection
Dim logonToBW2
On Error Resume Next
logonToBW2 = True
' Create logon to system with following user and system details
Set myConnection = app.Run ("'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'! SAPBEXgetConnection")
With myConnection
.client = "600"

Exit Function
End If
End If
End With
' Run connection query to see if connected
app.Run ("'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXinitConnection")
logonToBW2 = True
End Function
3. Run a Query
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'! runQuery", "ZZCCA3_M01_Q0003"
Till here the script is running fine then the Select values for Variables window is displayed.
This is where exactly we struck up; in this window we need to select values.
Name of the Fields
     Field Name     Technical name of characteristic     Variable Name     Value

5     Fiscal Year     0FISCYEAR     0P_FYEAR     2007
To select values for variables, we are trying below code but its giving an error,
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 1000, "0COMP_CODE"
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 1000MDON, " 0COSTCENTER "

How do I open up BIOS when starting up?

I cannot figure out what key to hold down when starting windows xp professional to open up BIOS.
What do I have to hold down?

I am trying to do the same thing - access some type of BIOS or EFI upon startup.
The reason I am looking for the BIOS or EFI is because BitLocker (a drive encryption program) on my Vista side of things requires either: a TPM chip (which it seems I don't have), or the use of a USB key at startup.
Problem is: the BIOS needs to recognize USB in the "pre-operating system environment" (Microsoft's words). On a non-Mac machine, there is a setting in the BIOS to do this, but I don't know how to accomplish this task on a Mac.
Any ideas?

Thanks for answering,
but that's not what i'm searching for.
Now a more detailed description of my probelm.
I'm searching for a mechanism to place (automaticly) a Text in an empty row of a Query ( e.g. to display "That is a Testquerie don't use " or to display a Help message ).
To solv this I found a couple of functions (e.q. UPF_EXCEL_AFTER_DATA_PUT_01 or RH_START_EXCEL_WITH_DATA) but they don't work .
Maybe I'm just to stupid to handle them right...
Hope somebody can help me.
Kind regards

I don't want to open certain tabs when starting FF

I'm using a PC in a different environment and when I start FF 6.0 a couple of Tabs open that I no longer need. How do I stop FF from opening those Tabs?
Thanks,
John

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Open specific folder when starting

Would like to set specific folder/catalog as the one to open on initial load of organizer? How?

And, if you're using "Folder View", I think it remembers the last folder used. In any case, you cannot specify the default folder to open.

Scale.tif opening in preview when starting OSX 10.8.2

In the last few days, I've been having scale.tif opening in Preview everytime I start up. It just shows a ruler in the Preview app.
I can't get it to stop. I've tried restarting and shutting down with the reopen windows box unchecked, but it still comes up.
It shows the file is locked. I've tried to find it in spotlight to see if I could delete the file, but spotlight yields no results.
It's very annoying. Any ideas?

Here's the screen shot.

Since upgrading to version 32, firefox always opens old tabs when starting, even though i do not have this option set. Version 33.0.3 does the same.

When I updated Firefox to version 32, it started to always show my tabs from the last session when it is started. I tried changing the option "when Firefox starts" to all three of the available choices. None of these changed the behavior. It still opens the tabs that were last opened. I waited for the next release (33.0.3) but the behavior is still the same. I would like Firefox to open to my selected home page.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro.

One possibility is that Firefox keeps crashing during shutdown, and so Firefox is recovering from a crash every time. But if you can see that it is shutting down normally in your testing, that probably isn't it.
Sometimes external software will create or update an optional settings file named user.js. For some reason, one of the things that often shows up in there is a preference to restore your previous session just once. However, because Firefox uses user.js to override your normal settings every time it starts, that then turns into a permanent change. To check for this and remove any user.js file you find, try this support article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

Nokia 5800: cannot open messages, error when start...

In the last day, I've had an issue with my 5800 whereby when a new text message arrives, I am not able to open it fully. It seems stuck in the inbox. This has happened about 3 times.
I restarted the phone and got this message:
"Unable to install from memory card. Go to application manager" (or something like that).
I went to the application manager, but there was nothing in there.
When I went back to the messages inbox, all messages (inbox, draft, sent) were gone.
I've tried changing back and forth between the phone (C and memory card (E drives, but nothing is showing.
Any advice would be more than helpful. Thanks.

Hi, may also help if once you've cleared all messages if you go to options in messaging and select other, memory in use; select E:Mass memory, or F: Memory Card . Sorry if you're already aware of this, but it does help, also , after using usb cable always check this setting as , for some unknown reason, phone reverts to C, after being connected to computer! If there are messages you may need, sync with ovi, before deleteing. Hope this helps.
Good Luck

BEx Analyzer 7.0 result column

Hi Gurus
I have a question regarding the BEx Analyzer 7.0. Hope you can help.
My customer wants to use BEx Analyzer 7.0 but is not happy with the fact that the excel query result starts in column F instead of column A (like the old BEx Analyzer did.)
Is there a way to automatically hide/disable columns A-E in the BEx Analyzer 7.0????
Many thanks for any info.
Regards!
Willem van der Hut

Hi Willem,
By Default it opens from Column F becasue Column C and Column D is used for Filter box. You can create your own workbook and can define the items where ever you want and can publish to role. End user can define their own workbook template also.
Within the BW 3.x analyzer, this is done by going to "Business Explorer -> Settings -> Permanent Workbook Template" and choosing the permanent workbook template. This will create an entry in the RSRWBTEMPLATE table for this user. Similarly, within the 2004s BEx Analyzer, the user can go to "BEx Analyzer -> Global Settings -> Select Default Workbook". This will allow them to set a permanent workbook for themselves or they can flag the global parameter to set this globally.
Please check below blog, it might help you:

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

BEx Analyzer version problem

Hi all,
We are having a problem with RRMX and the BEx Analyzer version that it's launching.
We are running BW 3.5, and all our workstations have both BEx Analyzer 3.5 and BEx Analyzer 7.0 installed. SAPGui version is 6.40 SP26, BEx Analyzer 3.5 has SP12 installed.
Naturally, we want RRMX to launch v3.5 but it keeps launching v7.0. Is there an easy way to configure RRMX to launch the legacy version?
Steps I have tried:
1) Transaction RSZVERSION. This only sets the minimun version of the BEx Analyzer, which does not help us.
2) Registry key LAUNCH_VERSION=LEGACY, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SAP/BEx/Analyzer. This had no effect.
3) Modifying BExAddin.xml. This one I found out myself, but it's tricky to distribute. The xml-file has a tag called <LaunchLegacyVersion>, when this is set to False, the correct BEx Analyzer version (3.5) is launched from RRMX. As a default, this is set to true.
Now the tricky part is, that BExAddin.xml seems to be a user-specific file which resides under the current users IsolatedStorage folder (%SystemDrive%\Documents And Settings\%UserName%\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage). Under the IsolatedStorage folder, there is a 3 folder deep directory structure, and these directories have names that are randomly generated for each user. This means that I can't possibly know what the BExAddin.xml's path is for every user. Making things worse, the whole IsolatedStorage folder doesn't exist, until a user has started RRMX once.
So the question is: is there a place that I could distribute the modified BExAddin.xml so that the settings would be made global for each user, or is there another way to do this?
Best regards,
Juha Kinnunen

Hi Leo,
Yes I tried the personalization but it seems doesn't work, I don't know why.
I set the personalization in the BEx analyzer according to the help documentation step by step but the variable selection screen still pop up when the workbook is opened.
If I executed the query which contained in the workbook seperately there is no variable selection screen pop up.
And because I don't wanna change the variable, so I didn't uncheck the ready to input.
Thanks for your infomation!
