SAP Business Explorer (BEx), not BI

For clarification, in 2008, SAP used the term u2018business intelligenceu2019 in two ways:
SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions
SAP NetWeaver BI
In order to remove confusion, the term business intelligence is now associated only with the solutions from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio.
SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) is no longer used and instead we refer to the following:
SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW)
SAP Business Explorer (SAP BEx)
SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (BWA)
Therefore, this forum name should probably not refer to BI.  We hope this helps clear up the confusion.

Hola esta información la he encontrado la he recolectado de la comunidad
BEx (Business Explorer) es la herramienta de informes que se utiliza para trabajar con datos en la base de datos BW. BEx tiene una interfaz de usuario basada en Web y está formado por dos componentes, el navegador BEx y el analizador de Bex.
El navegador BEx proporciona una interfaz organizada donde el usuario puede acceder y trabajar con cualquier tipo de documento que se les asigna en la bodega de Información Empresarial, tales como libros, enlaces e informes BW. La base de datos BW misma se divide en áreas de datos discretos llamados InfoCubos que se componen de los datos y los metadatos asociados. El analizador BEx permite al usuario examinar los datos segmentados en una variedad de combinaciones útiles, por ejemplo, al comparar los datos financieros de diferentes ejercicios.
Con esto el BEx es una herramienta de reportes para Inteligencia de Negocios usada para el Bussines Warehouse(BW), el WEBI es la herramienta de reportes usada por Bussines Object (BO), el Universe designer se usa para crear los universos en los cuales quieres tus fuentes de datos sacadas de una bodega como el BW.

  • SAP Business Explorer Analyzer Performance testing

    Hi, All
    I don't have any experience in SAP at all. So maybe I will ask silly questions.
    I was asked to provide performance testing for SAP Business Explorer Analyzer. As you know it is Excel base application with ActiveX control from SAP. HP Loadrunner doesn't support such configuration (It can only work with SAPGUI). So I am forced to search for other possible solutions. So maybe here I can get ideas and opinions about options:
    1. I asked SAP admins about possibility to do the same things what users do from BEx  (query execution + some drill down in data) in SAPGUI, maybe with predefined parameters or with additional customization. Unfortunately I've got an answer that it isn't possible at all. Is it really?
    2. Another idea is to simulate what users do in BEx with VBA since anyway Excel interacts with BEx engine via DBA. There I met another problem. There is no any documentation about ActiveX components (e.g. com.sap.bi.et.analyzer.addin.BExConnect) or  API used in BExAnalyzer.xla. The question is "is it possible or not to fully automate all data manipulation with VBA" and "Where can I get documentation about SAP VBA API?"
    Thanks,
    Alexander

    You can run the queries with drilldown using transaction rsrt in list mode and interact via standard screen functions
    This won't however give you the WAN or the presentation server overhead (ie formatting of the cells with excel wrappers of styles)
    Read here for a testing example
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60981d00-ca87-2910-fdb8-d4a2640d69d4?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

  • Business Explorer (BEX) Query open Error

    Hi
    When opening  BEX(Business Explorer) Queries from Excel  ,  it asks for System to choose.
    But business doesn't want to see this option. It should go directly to open query selection for the system it has logged in.
    Say , it has logged in BIQ  , it should go to open the queries selction for BIQ without asking to login to BIQ as user has already logged in BIQ.
    In some other users desktop , when they open Queries from Excel it directly goes to open query selection without prompting for System selection
    We are using  SAP GUI 7.20  patch 4 ,  BEX 3.5 patch 3.
    We also have BEX 7.20 but we will not use it
    We tried to with applying all latest patches but we still get the same error.
    We perfomred a Excel test provided by SAP , that shows gree.
    Business wants to use SAP GUI 7.20 patch 4 and BEX 3.5 patch 3.
    Can any one help on this ?
    Note:  please don't recommed to apply latest patch to  GUI or BEX  or apply patch to System component. . Thats not the solution as the current version works in some other desktops.
    Please let me know if you want to understand more in this scenario.
    Thanks
    Rabi Kumar

    Dear Das,
    In that case you need to call the RRMX transaction from your BW system and  if SSO works , then it leads you directly
    to the Open save dialog.
    For SSO , I would suggest you to please implement the below note:
    Note 1498947 :    RRMX: Logon mechanism for 720 GUI.

    Arvind

  • Business Explorer Analyzer not installed

    Hi, I installed SAP GUI 710 (patch level 8) and I have no problems going into Bex Query Designer but when I try clicking for Analyzer, it doesnt work. Nothing happens.. But when I try using transation RRMX, i get an error that the Business Explorer Analyzer is not installed. I am using Excel 2007.. Can you help? Do I have to do anything else??

    Hi,
    I had similar problem in my PC also earlier. After updating to our IT Dept, they uninstalled GUI and then installed .Net patches and then SAP GUI 710 with latest patch.
    Also in MS Office 2007 they went into the Macro security settings and made it low.
    After that the problem is resolved.
    Hope this helps.

  • Tutorials for starting with SAP Business Objects Explorer: Excel / Crystal

    Hello,
    we want to start with SAP Business Objects Explorer. I have been searching for tutorials for while without success.
    Are there any tutorials or documentation that shows how to work with excel-files as data source or how to upload Crystal reports files (.rpt) to the Explorer?
    Thanks in advance for helpful hints.
    Best regards,
    André

    As far as I know the SAP BUsiness Explorer car retrieve data either from a universe or from the SAP BWA. So hat you should be looking for is information on how to set Excel files as data sources for universes.

  • Business Explorer and Business Intelligence Roles

    Can someone answer the following questions about these 2 roles:
    Business Explorer
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase
    Business Intelligence
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.bi_showcase
    It appears the BI Role above has the Business Planning feature, but Business Explorer does not.  Other than this, can someone explain the difference and why 2 seperate roles?
    Also, if we give users the Business Explorer role, we do not want them to see the Bex Broadcasting tab that comes by default.  Is the only way to avoid this is create a copy of this standard delivered ivew (contained in the Business Explorer Role) and remove this tab?
    Can anyone share thoughts or experience with these 2 different roles and modifying?
    Thanks,  Mark.

    Business Explorer role is from 3.5 and BI role is new in 04s.
    You will have to create the copy and remove the unwanted iViews from the new role.
    You can set permissions at iView level (permission to specfc users for broadcaster iView) but it will be hard maintaining it.

  • SDK development for SAP BusinessObjects Explorer Accelerated version

    Hi all,
    in one of our project we need to use the engine of Explorer Accelerated an SDK application.
    Is it possible or does exists sdk libraries for using only the search component of Explorer?
    What we need is something that give to Explorer box our search request and give back to us a result that could be a table/webi report/xml file without using the webinterface itself of Explorer.
    Thanks!

    This forum is dedicated to all other development-related questions which
    are not directly addressed by other forums. This includes Business Objects SDKs,

    Hello BI expert,
    I 've installed SAPGUI 7.10 patch 4,  BW 3.5 addon patch 2 and BI 710 addon patch 300 on pc (window XP SP2, Excel 2002 SP3.
    In the Bex Analyser, the entries tab PC check (and Browser, Web Application Designer) into the Business Explorer are not active (displayed as pale gray) ?

    Hi,
    Problem with the installation of these files.I will recommend you to uninstall the GUI and frontend patch and reapply it again.

    Hi Shakaran,
    What version of GUI r u using?
    use GUI 710 - it will solve your problem.
    ask your basis guy to install the patch or reinstall the GUI 710 on your system so that you will get the BEX options.

  • Business Explorer Installation

    Hi Everyone,
    I've installed the SAPgui and Business Explorer for BI7 and BW 3.5 on my system. Everything except the BEx Analyzer for BI 7 is working fine. When I try to start the Analyzer, an excel window pops up, but the BEx toolbar with the 'Open, Save, Refresh' buttons does not appear. When I execute RRMX, I get a message 'Business Explorer is not installed. Please install Business Explorer'.
    I removed and re-installed BEx but I'm still getting the same error.
    This problem is only with the BEx for BI7 component. The 3.5 BEx is working fine. Also the other components like Query Designer, Report Designer are working fine.
    Is this a problem with my installation or am I missing some settings to be done for BEx for BI7?
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Oké... than I know what you have to do:
    read note 1121263 and implement the zip-file that is named there.
    Actually, the bex analyzer is not properly installed because there is a key registration missing in your excel. (believe me: you are not alone... happened already with 3 of my customers...)
    once you installed the zip-file, open your analyzer again and the ? is yellow and analyzer will work fine.
    Don't forget to install support packages afterwards!
    Ciao
