Create a role in tcode PFCG and assign that role to users. Whoever have an access on this folder they can run the queries existing under this folder.
Firstly,
To create Role folder goto tcode PFCG ..enter role name and create.
Under Menu tab you can create folder.
Secondly,
Assign relevant queries to these folder from design mode of query using following navigation.
Query--> Publish -->To Role
After this,
Assign this role to user to access these folders.

Comments in Bex-Workbook IP BW 7.0 ?

Hello Planning experts
It is possible to insert a 'Comment field' in a - let say- Web planning application using the single document web item. However I am not aware of any possibilities to do so in the Bex-Workbook. Therefore following 2x questions:
- Is it possible to insert in BEx-Workbook a Comment field, where the planner could e.g comment the increased budget on a certain cost center?
- Is it possible to report over the entered comments ( let say in a query?)
Thanks and welcome every answer, which helps me to know this comment feature possibilities in IP BW 7.0

Hi,
As far as I know, this functionality is not available in excel frontend (not cent-percent sure about latest SPs becuase I heard that this was planned for some future SP).
Documents created in queries are saved against a combination value of characteristics - to be able to report on them, you should have the same drilldown of characteristics in the query alongwith which you want to fetch the documents. Also, make sure that the save level of the documents in infoprovider level and not query level (can be set in Web Template properties).

By opening of a BEx-Workbook marco would be deaktivate

Hello,
I'm working on Netweaver 7.0, since tody morning by the openning of a BEx-workbook, I got a message "macro in this file is not agree in the digital signatory, only a macro virus can be the cause. macro would be deaktivate."
I can open the work book, but the marco is allways deaktivate. If I turn the secrity degree from medium to low, then I can run the query on this workbook. I get this case since today.
The workbook, which I created yesterday and saved on my desktop, can be opened without this issue.
I'm totally confused, can somebody give somme idea?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Renee,
Kindly check if this will be applicable to your scenario.
Since you have changed your query to meet the user's requirements by adding a hierarchy, etc.:
1) Open your workbook where this query is assigned to.
2) Once the workbook has been opened, instead of refreshing the query, try to click the "change (global)" option in Bex toolbar. This should lead you to the query which you previously changed.
3) In the query designer, just do a re-save and execute. The query will be executed on the workbook with its changes.
4) If the desired results have been obtained in your workbook, re-save your workbook with this new layout.
5) Close and re-open your workbook and refresh it once again. It should now generate the new changes based on your query.
Hope this helps..
Thanks..

How to copy BEx Workbooks from one user's favourites to another user's

Is there a way to copy BEx Workbooks (Excel Analyzer) from one user's 'Favourites' to another user's Favourites?
A user is away on vacation and we need to get at a couple of workbooks that are stored only in that user's Favourites. We do not have access to that user's user id and password.
Were on BW version 3.5.

Thanks Ravi.
We are aware that if a workbook is assigned to a Role then other users can access the workbook.
In order to assign the workbook to a Role, we need to be able to see it in the first place.
The workbook is currently saved only in a specific user's Favourites, and that user is away on vacation. We can not assign it to a Role unless we sign on as that user. We do not have the user's logonid and password.
So we are still interested in finding out how to copy from that user's Favourites, perhaps via a program or via the Administrator Workbench.

Hi,
We are broadcasting a BEx workbook, which has more than 1 queries. We have a default variant to populate all the input variables. But while broadcasting, this default variant is not populated sometimes, So the query returns wrong results. It happens randomly. I have checked broadcast logs also nothing unusual found. Can someone throw some light.

Sent messages aren't saved in the Sent Items folder in Outlook 2013

When we send a message in Outlook 2013, a copy of the message should be saved in the Sent Items folder by default. If Outlook doesn’t save a copy of the sent message, it may be caused by any one of the following
reasons:
The “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”
option in Outlook is disabled.
The save location for sent messages was changed to another folder.
There is a custom view set on Sent Items folder, or the view on
Sent Items is corrupt.
Outlook Data File may be damaged.
To resolve the issue, use the appropriate method for your situation.
Enable the Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
option
To configure Outlook 2013 to save copies of your sent messages in the Sent Items folder, please follow these steps:
1. Click File tab > Options.
2. Click Mail on the left pane.
3. Scroll to the Save Messages section, select the check box before “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”.
4. Click OK.
If it is the replying message that is not saving to the Sent Items folder, we need to disable the “When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder” option in the location mentioned above.
If you’re using an IMAP account, please also make sure you didn’t select the “Do not save copies of sent items” in Account Settings. To check this, Please refer to the following steps:
1. In Outlook, click File tab > Info.
2. Click Account Settings > Account Settings, and then double-click your IMAP account to open the
Change Account wizard.
3. Click More Settings button.
4. Under Sent Items heading, clear the check box before “Do not save copies of sent items”.
5. Click OK and click Next to complete the configuration.
Make sure there is no rule or anything else to redirect sent messages to other folders
To check if it is caused by Outlook rules, please follow these steps:
1. In Outlook 2013, click Home tab.
2. Click Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
3. In the rules list, check if there is any rule that applied to the sent messages may cause this issue.
In addition, some rules may be corrupt or hidden and we cannot see them from the rules list. We need to use the MFCMAPI tool to find and delete the corrupt/hidden rules. To do this, we can use the following steps:
1. Download MFCMAPI tool from: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/
2. Start MFCMAPI tool.
3. Click Session menu >
Logon, select the Outlook profile you are using and click OK.
4. Double-click the mailbox that contains the inbox rules that you want to delete.
5. A new window will open. In the new window, expand
Root Container or Root – Mailbox, and then expand
Top of Information Store or IPM_SUBTREE.
6. Right click on Inbox and select
Open associated contents table.
7. In the Inbox window, locate and then right-click the items that have the
IPM.Rule.Message message class, and then click Delete Message.
To identify a specific rule, you’ll have to select the rule in the top pane in MFCMAPI and then scroll down in the lower pane and look at the
Property name(s) column. Find the ptagRuleMsgName property name and check the value against the rule name you were trying to delete in Outlook.
8. In the Delete Item dialog, select
DELETE_HARD_DELETE from the Deletion Style drop-down menu.
9. Click OK.
Reset the view settings on Sent Items folder
If you accidently changed the view settings on Sent Items folder, this may cause some sent messages not visible in the folder. To check if you’ve set any view settings on Sent Items folder, please follow:
1. In Outlook, select Sent Items folder.
2. Click View tab from the Ribbon.
3. Click View Settings button. If you notice the
Reset Current View button is clickable, it means the view settings for Sent Items have been changed before.
4. Click the Reset Current View button and then check the Sent Items folder again.
Scan and repair the Outlook Data File
To repair the .pst file, please follow:
1. Find and start the Inbox Repair Tool in the following path:
For Outlook 2013 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
For Outlook 2013 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
2. In the Inbox Repair tool, click Browse to locate the PST file by using the Windows file system.
3. Click Start.
4. After the analysis scan has completed, it will present you with a scanning report and options for the next step. Click Repair button.
To repair the .ost file, since this type of data file is a copy of information saved on your mail server, we can just delete the OST file and restart Outlook to re-create a new one.
For more information about repair Outlook data files, please refer to this article:
Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost).

Same problem here, connecting to a Groupwise (not latest) server. Whenever Mail.app 3 tries to upload/save a new messsage to the server, it would not save and completely lose the message!
I found slightly more information by turning off the "Save to server" option for Sent and Drafts, created a new message that I saved as draft, and then tried to manually move items to the Drafts or Sent folder on the IMAP server.
The error I received was: The message <message> could not be moved to the mailbox <mailbox>-<account>. The IMAP command "APPEND" (to <mailbox>) failed with server error: APPEND NotJunk.
To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like the latest version of Mail changed it's default IMAP handling commands that may be incompatible with older IMAP servers. Anyone else have more insight or know how I can get back Mail.app 2.x from Tiger?

BEx workbook does not open from portal when excel is already opened

Hi all,
When I go to the portal and open a BEx workbook from there while excel is already open, then the workbook does not open.
When I close excel and then open the BEx workbook it all works fine.
I do not get any error: just nothing happens.
Any idea how to solve this?
Versions:
BI 3.5
Excel 2003
ADDITIONAL INFO
I found this only happens when excel is open with a cell in edit mode. Whenc I then open BEx from the portal I get the error 'please install suitable version'.
Let my know if you have any advice.

Problem in BEx Workbook Printing

Hi,
I need to print a BEx workbook. The column headers in the report is months, i.e April, May, June... till March. When I print the workbook the column header is getting truncated.
Please advise me what needs to be done to print the entire column text. Please suggest me if there are any settings.
Best Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
Enable the AutoFit property of the design items.
This Autofit option will be available in the Properties of Design Items dialog.
If the Autofit is enabled then the text displayed will be fit within the cell.Hence there wont be any truncation issues.
Before printing adjust the Print Area and check Print Preview

How to create hyperlink in BEx workbook?

All, I have 2 queries in a BEx workbook on 2 different worksheets. Both queries have 0materials in the row. The user wants to be able to click on material XYZ in worksheet 1 and then be directed to the corresponding line (i.e. for that material XYZ) in worksheet 2. Is this possible to do via a hyperlink?
Cheers!

Cheers but a simple hyperlink will not do. I need to link to the same material number in a different worksheet. So in worksheet 1 I have for example the following lines
Mat nr
123
333
444
555
in worksheet 2 I have lines
Mat nr
904
768
123
333
444
555
If I click on 333 in first sheet I want to jump to the line with material 333 in worksheet 2.

Display input variables in BEx workbook header

Hi forum,
I created a global BEx workbook template and would like to display the input variables (user entries) in the header section. On refresh of the workbook, this section should be updated with the new input variables. I am on BEx 7.0 and already experimented with text elements in the Design Mode of BEx Analyzer. However, you can only select general filter values, not specifically variables.
On release BI 3.x the Visual Basic function SAPBEXshowTextElements(selectgroup, ...) was available. You could set selectgroup to "V" (show variables only) and retrieve the variable values.
However on 7.0 this function does not seem to work any longer.
Do you know how this can be achieved in BEx Analyzer 7.0?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
1) Keep variable in default values in Filters.if u keep variable in default values user enterd value will be displayed in workbook filters.
2) Open workbook and go to design mode.
3) Delete the header text item and also delete the header picture bar.
4) Write report name in "A1".
5) At the end of report name (say H1or I1) use this excel formula =Replace(old text,start_num, num_chrs, new_tex).
With this whenever user changes the variable value will be changed in report header.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Ashok

Link to BEx Workbook in STS

Hi,
We have Bex workbooks created as planning applications in IP.
Could anyone suggest how these workbooks can be called from STS? For web applications we can provide the link to planning application directly in the STS customizing but not sure how we can achieve the same for BEx workbooks.
Regards,
Deepti

Hi Guys,
You can broadcast the workbook with <PR_ONLINE_LINK> in the broadcast message get the URL. When you launch the URL later, it will trigger your Bex Analyzer to launch the workbook.
Hope this helps.

Most of the time it's working fine - but some user experience a "Host Unknown" failure ?? - I suspect than it has something to do with contacting Excel, but I can't figure out exactly what goes wrong. The users have all needed componets of course, and they can run Workbooks from SAP GUI without getting this error.
Thanx Ahead.
