Unable to drilldown on a characteristic in Bex Analyser

Hello Experts,
In one of our Bex report we need to drilldown on a characteristic (ABC) which is marked as authorisation relevant. We have maintained few values for ABC and have created a variable on this characteristic with the processing by type as authorisation.
We get the report O/P appropriately but when I try to drilldown on this particlar variable created on characteristic (ABC) in the report I get a error message saying:-
Abort SID=3 does not exit for characteristic or is not selected and if I click OK on this pop-up message I automatically get disconnected from the BW server.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dinesh,
Issue we had was related to composite roles with the menus in them. We changed and moved all menus into single roles and assigned t-codes to the authorization to publish into the roles along with RRMX and it's fixed the issue.
Some notes are below:
The T-codes SAP_BW_QUERY and SAP_BW_VIEW are not real t-codes but are needed – see Note 316470 - No authorization to change roles
Also noted the menu role is a composite role – this may be part of the issue Note 954009 - Unable to publish in a composite role. Try a single role on its own (i.e. don’t assign the composite role to the user) and see if that works. We have single menu roles that are included in composite roles (i.e. for a position) but not a composite “Menu” role.
Hope it helps,
Cuneyt

How to convert a key figure to Characteristic in BEx.

Hello Experts,
I have a key figure of type Quantity unit Second. Is there are way that I can convert this to a characteristic in BEx so that I can use in restrictions (range).
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.

There is no feature in BEx to do that. Closest feature is conditions. You could look at creating a virtual characterisitc in the cube.

Show / Hide characteristic in Bex Web

Hi,
since we use a fixed Template without the possibility to choose the characterstics / key figures from the
Navigational Menu the question is if its possible to show / hide a characteristic in Bex Web via a button in the template.
Thanks for help,
Marco

Hi Marco,
       That functionality is not present in the Button. But there is a way to acheive this.
        All you need to do is create two different queries, one showing the characteristics and other query without characteristics(hiding the characteristics).
       Then do the following steps:
1. Goto Design mode and Place a button For Showing the Characteristics.
2. Then in cmd type, choose 'Data Provider Specific Command'.
3. In the Next window, choose 'Assign Query' and select the query that show the characterisitcs.
4. Then give finish and give the Description as "SHOW CHARACTERISTICS".
5. Then place another button in for hiding the char.
6. Perform the 2nd and 3rd steps, but while selecting the query chose the one that hiding the characteristics.
7. Then give the Description as "HIDE CHARACTERISTICS".
     So, if you click the SHOW button, it will show you the query that displaying all the characteristics and vice versa if you click the HIDE button.
     It will help you to solve the issue. Let us know if any further issues.
     Assign points if it helps you.

Yokesh.

Bex Analyser-Unable to login

Hi,I am able to login to the AWB but I when I try to log into the Bex Analyser I get "not authorized client,session terminated".Is there anything I could do in AWB to log into Bex Analyser.
Thank You,
Regards,
Salma.

Looks like you are not authorized to use BEx. Check your User Authorizations in SU01.
If you are a BW Developer you need to have SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW profiles assigned to your user profile.
If you are authorized to use BEx, request Access from your security team.

Unable to start BEx Analyser 7

Hi All,
I have recently upgraded my FEP to the latest available (801).
In our sandbox system, we have applied a number of OSS to help improve the performance of BEx Analyser. These all seem to work fine, as does BEx Analyser.
However, we have now applied the same OSS notes to our development system.
Unfortunately, BEx Analyser now gives a fatal error (X_MESSAGE) on opening and trying to connect to the BI system.
We presumed that this meant the OSS notes had not been applied correctly, but after checking, all appears ok.
Has anyone seen this before? Can anyone advise how to correct the issue?
I ran the BEx check tool and all OK.
This is a strange error as BEx works in one system but not another. I'm sure this rules out local PC issues. Another user has also installed the latest FEP and is facing the same error. Prior to this, they were on FEP 300 and this gave no errors in the development system.
Regards,
Mark

None of the above; organizer, editor, welcome screen appear. Nor do I get any error messages. Nothing happens.

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

BI-IP Bex Analyser - Input Queries / Workbooks

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, we want to make an input query with the standard chars. WBS Element and Asset Class. In our business 1 WBS can be planned to several asset classes, but 1 asset class only has 1 WBS. The link between both is made by a common attribute value (the account determination).
Ex:
WBS A - Account determination 123
Asset Class A - Account determination 123
Asset Class B - Account determination 123
We want the input query to show automatically:
WBS A - Asset Class A
- Asset Class B
Any suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
MA

Maria,
You need a characteristic relationship of type combination/proposal.

The length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser

Hi,
The password is 8 characters in the BW system.
When users changing their newly assigned passwords. When logging into the BEx Analyser, and prompted to change the password, a password entry box is displayed, with an entry field longer then 8 characters. Some users are therefore entering passwords longer then 8 characters. This is fine when they first login, but when they try come back to the system, their logon fails.
Can something be done to restrict the length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan
we are having the same problem - did you find a way to resolve this? I did not find any SAP notes referring to the issue.

BI-IP - Bex Analyser - select excel single row and aplly planning function

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, is it possible to select a single excel row (or a range of rows) and then apply a planning function? I know that in WAD it's possible with the binding option to select a single web item.
The purpose is to apply a revaluation factor to selected (by the user) cost elements rows in the workbook.
Thanks and regards,
MA

Hi
It is possibel in WAD to select one or many rows while executing Functions such as--Reposting; Revaluation etc.
However, you should be in a position to select the rows based on....unique identifier such as Require ID; Request #; Serial #; ....this is more so in case of multiple entries for the same cost element for different combinations.

BI-IP - Bex Analyser - Adding colums / rows in workbooks

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) in Bex Analyser we are facing the following problem:
In the workbook if the user inserts a column nearby the input ready columns and inputs values at the time of transfer / save values, the system automatically copies these values to the next input column. The same if they insert rows and add values, at the time of transfer values the system deletes the row but adds the values in the above row.
Is it how Bex Analyser (workbook) works or we are having a problem?
Thanks and regards,
MA

Hi Maria,
Please do not take it offesive.
The issue you guys are encountering is due to lack of Training to Users.
Planning is an intelligent activity. Planners are expected to do their home work before they embark on planning and layouts help capturing values in an orderly manner.
It would be wonderful if you restrict the access to queries, else train the users on the impact and relevance.
As you are aware adding a row is possible in WAD.

IP - Various problems with BEX Analyser - help would be nice

Hi,
we use IP in combination with BEX analyser. We experience certain problems. Does anyone experienced the same issues mentioned below:
1) if a planning function is executed, it is executed twice when your cursor is within the query itself. If it is outside the query when clicking on the button, it is executed once (like it should).
2) Locking: we don't have locking problems, but from the moment two people lock each other once, they need to close their analyser and re-open it (so logon again) in order to be able to start planning again in a non-locked part. If they just change their selection (to the not-lock part) they remain locked!!!
3) planning function with multiple variables: system cannot retrieve values of all variables.
details of function:
CMD                                               1       EXECUTE_PLANNING_FUNCTION
PLANNING FUNCTION NAME           1      AG10_COPY01
DATA PROVIDER_FILTER                 1     DATA_PROVIDER_1
VAR_NAME                                     1       PROF_CTR
VAR_VALUE                                    1       510
VAR_NAME                                     2     PERIOD
VAR_VALUE                                    2        012
VAR_NAME                                     3       CUSTOMER
VAR_VALUE                                    3     1000
-> following the instruction of the SAP course, in case of multiplle variables they should start from 0 and have an incremental increase. But the system only recognizes the variable with index = 1
regards
D

Dear Dries,
could it be that the variable type you use require a different set of commands?
In general the parameters of the BEx Analyzer follow the rules of the SAp BW 3.5 Webruntime. When reading this detailed documentation you find that depending on the type of variable other names have to be used, e.g. when using a selection option variable you need something line varname_low, varname_high, ...
The documentation can be found in the online-help:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/ff413a3ace7022e10000000a11402f/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/ff413a3ace7022e10000000a11402f/content.htm</a>

Binding variables to a button in BEx Analyser

Hi,
I have built a planning application in BEx Analyser but I am having an issue with planning sequences I have attached to a button.
I have attached a planning sequence to a Save button, carried out the steps of choosing planning sequence radio button, the appropriate data provider, attaching the planning sequence etc and then I attached a save to that same button as well. So when I run the application now it tells me the planning sequence ran with no issues and the data was saved. But I get an error message also saying: Parameter VAR_VALUE_LOW(_EXT)_2 is missing for variable ZINGRNG1
The data gets saved but the planning sequence doesnt actually execute despite it saying so. I know it is not an issue with the planning sequence as I have the same planning application built in BEx Web Application Designer.
To explain further I have 2 dropdowns boxes with must be selected before the the data becomes input ready and it as if when I save it doesnt recognise these variables or something.
Can any shed some light on this issue. Need to resolve it if at all possible for a presentation I am doing.
Thanks,
Elle
