Infoobject - Setting for Business Explore and its performace

Hello BW-fans,
I am not sure, whether I am here at the right topic or this is a question for Bex-Topic. However it's something to do with data modelling so I firstly put the question here.
I have an example: the InfoObject 0CUST_HIE01 is from SAP-Standard referenced on 0CUSTOMER - it's ok. By selection at query execution, depending on the general settings for Business Explore, especial at "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn", the content of 0CUST_HIE01 will be showed as the content of master data 0CUSTOMER or the content of 0CUST_HIE01 itself. In our data model it's two different values, so the general settings should be correctly "Only value in InfoProvider" or "only posted value for Navigation".
The problem is the perfomance when I select the filter value at query executation. With those two settings like above it'll take very long time, the voluminous data is updated in InfoProvider the slower the performance will be. In my example is showing the content of master data 0CUSTOMER due to setting "Value in master data table" is very quick but wrong and showing the "posted value in InfoProvider" is correct but it takes very long time.
My question is: Is there any method to upgrade the performance for this case?
Many thanks for answers!
Van Anh Nguyen

Hi,
To avoid that goto the maintaince of that characterstic infoobject and in the Tab Page: Business Explorer set property Filter Selection in Query Execution property to Only Values in InfoProvider so that variable will not fetch all the data instead it will display only required data.
Its becoz "This field tells you how the selection of filter values is determined when a query is executed.
When queries are executed, the selection of filter values is usually determined by the data that is selected by the query. This means that only the values for which data has been selected in the current navigation status are displayed.
In many cases, however, it can be useful to include additional values. Therefore you can also choose the settings Only Values in InfoProvider and Values in Master Data Table. If you make this selection, however, you may get the message No data found when you select your filter values."

User manual in PDF for AcrobatPro8 - where to find it?

I tried to print the Help of AcrobatPro8 however could not find an option to print whole manual as it is, for example, with Illustrator where you can get the whole manual in a neat PDF format.
The only way to print anything from the very large Help menu, apparently is to print page by page.
The question:
Is there any website or link where I can download the user manual for AcrobatPro8 in PDF ?
Thanks for any tip

The online Resource page for Acrobat 8 provides additional links and more detailed information, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/.

"404 error" for business explorer

Hi Expert,
I installed SAP Business Objects Enterprise 4.0 SP2 for development, test and productive environment and they work fine. Development and Test BOE are installed in a single host instead the productive environment is installed in more hosts, in particular this is the configuration for the productive BOE environment:
host 1: WAS (Tomcat 6)
host 2: WAS (Tomcat 6)
host 3: CMS server 1
host 4: CMS server 2
host 5: CMS DB
After that I installed BOE, I also installed SAP Business Explorer 4.0 in the development, test and productive environment (I installed BE in host 3 and host 4). SAP Business Explorer work fine in development and test system instead is not working in the productive environment. In particular if i go to BI lunch pad (productive environment) and I selected the Business Explorer icon the following error message appear:
404 Missing Page
The page you requested is not available on this web server for one of the
following reasons:
I checked on Central Management console the status of the Business Explorer servers and they are in status "running".
I noted that in the development and test system the file explorer.war has been created from the BE installation program in the following folder :
"D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjectsEnterprise XI 4.0\wdeploy\workdir\tomcat6\application"
instead in the productive environment the file explorer.war doesn't exist. How can I resolve this critical issue? Must I install some component also in the WAS hosts?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
gio'

Looks like you need to do a web tier install on your tomcat server or you could copy the war file over. How did you deploy your war files when you did your initial install of BOE? Do you see an explorer folder in your tomcat6\webapps directory?

Edited by: Kanishak Gupta on Feb 4, 2010 1:06 PM

Hi Kanishak
You can use userexit userexit_cobl_send_header
If you overule the settings, you will be able to enter business area ( GSBER )
Also, try out:
userexit_cobl_receive_vbak to transfer the screen value entered by the user back to vbak-gsber.
If item level is also necessary you also need :
userexit_cobl_send_item
userexit_cobl_receive_vbap
Hope this helps.

Disabling external sharing in OneDrive for Business for selected users

Hello,
I have a requirement to disable external sharing option in OneDrive for Business for a few user and allow external sharing for a selected users. Is this possible?
What I know is, we can enable or disable external sharing for all the users who use OneDrive for business by configuring Sharing option for My site collection at "xxx-my.sharepoint.com". But I want to know is if it is possible to handle this at
user level by doing changes to "xxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_domain.com" site collection.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Thanks Vasil for your reply. Yes, as you mentioned, removing edit option or admin access is not the right solution for my requirement. I just want to know why My site collection is tightly coupled with personal site collections. Many users will use OneDrive
to store data and share it with others internally and externally. So, as a security measure there should be some option to enable this only for a specific users. Hoping someone will give me idea to achieve this.

Effective Language for Business Process Modelling in a Web Community

It's a very exciting idea of having business process definition/innovation a community driven process.
Just Imagine a stituation where somebody can innovate a process on a theoritical level which is then perfected by business community opinion/examples for benchmarking, effectiveness, relevance etc.
The ultimate business community dream would be Finding their process in the community. Finding merits and demerits of their process. Explore for a refinement to the process. Getting a copy of their newly created process and
droping it into their IT system and the wonderful IT system upgrading itself to the new process and executing it.
The Impact of simplification would be enormous:
Just check out the possibilities
Every businessman would be an IT user to get ideas for business and business execution
The IT Guy would be recognized as process maker
For a business entity Presentation during AGM could be extra transparent :-).
A very concrete step in this direction would be to have a language or tool which is very easy to understand and drives people for exploration.
My Wish would be a Visual web tool which defines a specific business process in the most simple form, and from there somebody can explore the enhancements to the process.
For example a simple selling process done in medicine shop is
listening the order verbally , delivering it immediately, getting cash immediately and [typing the Invoice on XL or Word or POS machines], printing it and then giving to Customer.
after selecting this business process on the tool one should be able to explore the possible process
enhancements with known business benefits
like
a) offer credit facility to customer--> just a worklist to collect pending money
b) take order now and supply later for non available medicines
c)Start home delivery
The businessman should be able to select (1) or (2) which then becomes his new process.
This can be sent to his IT landscape which should be able to interprete it and then grow itself Ah....
dreaming
[or atleast the model should tell the IT guy what to do!!].
The generic business Process enhancements Options are not too many and can be defined and classified
See the Options in the above mentioned business process context
1)Automation[Create Purchase order from ]
2)Increasing depth [The above example a,b,c are for increasing depth]
3)Step simplification[In the above example instead of word using the POS Machine is simple]
4)Resource utilization[If you have a PC and don't want to buy POS Machine then type the invoice on a Word :-)]
5)Delegation
5)Workforce optimization {any examples :-)community driven}
7)Process optimization (How to deliver the medicine route wise)
8)Colloboration (Using courier to send medicine)
9)Knowledge provision (giving sales/payment trends,)
The idea is so simple but making this tool highiely context(business) sensitive and intuitive is challenge.
But anyway it's not impossible to have a business process language which is effective and an IT systems for which starting point is a business process. The IT system which takes your business process and executes them
wonderfully.
looking forward for this future
Anand

Hi Dilip,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I'm also interested to know from community what are different tools used by them for process modelling?
What are their merits?
1)are they easily understandabale
2) do they come with business context
3)whether they can be used in a web comunity? Like somebody can give feedback or business case for a particular business process/step.
4)Does it drive the IT automation
5)Are there any appservers which take business model and generate/grow applications
6)How the different modelling applications should communicate?
7)Common standards
For example
I have used rational rose and RAD like VB they are complicated/simple enough to generate model based applications but the business representation and business context is totally missing. I would seek something with more business context or knowledgebase.

Federating the Business explorer role

Recently we have successfully federated some reports for some business users. Now another business group is interested in federating the Business explorer role. They would like to take advantage of the BexWebanayzer iview and a few of its features. They want the ability to personalize (change the columns and filteringu2026) a report and save it in their personal Portfolio area in KM on the producer. I'm having some issues federating that iview and the business explorer role. Is anyone aware of any other SAP users that have federated the Business explorer role?
Along with federating the role the users would like to hide 2 of the tabs within the popup iview of the "save as" in the BexWebAnalyzer iview . I don't know if this is even possible to modify the popup and I can't seem to find that popup object/iview.
Thanks, any info is appreciated.

Hey @ All,
how did you install the EP? What kind of Usagetype did you select?
To have the BI content installed to the EP you need to install the BI usagetype as well. So in SAPinstaller you have to check the marks properly.
If you have installed only the EP usagetype you are able to reinstall the BI usagetype afterwards. As far as I know you can start the SAPinstaller again and set the right checkmarks.
The BI (usagetype) content needs a WEBAS Java and EP installed.
Hope this explanation helped a little... if so points are very welcome since i am starting from scratch!
kind regards
Tobi

Business Explorer 7.1 With Windows Server 2000?

Hi
We are looking to upgrade our SAP GUI from 620 to 710. As part of this due to other system install and upgrades we are looking to upgrade the Business Explorer from the included 3.5 to 7.1.
My issue/question is this......I am reading conflicting information, of sorts, in that in the prerequisites it states that Business Explorer 7.1 is only compatible with Windows XP or Vista. However in the installation guide for Business Explorer 7.1 in Chapter 5 it says "The user with which you are logged in to your workstation (Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista)"
To add to the confusion we access the SAP GUI, and in turn the business explorer, via Citrix and so there is no SAP software installed locally on the users desktops.
So in case I haven't yet asked the question, Is it possible to have Business Explorer 7.1 working on Windows 2000 Server? And if so is it straightforward or are there workarounds required?
Thanks in advance
Ian Newbury

We have installed the BEx Analyser version 7.1 and it works so the answer to my question is Yes.

Skype for Business & Lync : Contact icons not appe...

In our environment we have several users that are using Skype for Business, and the rest using Lync.
We have noticed that when migrating our users over to Skype for Business, the contact functionality that shows "icons" next to each person's name is now blank.
As an example, my personal icon shows up for me but none of my contacts show their customized pictures.
Lync users can see my icon and can see everyone elses.
Thank you

Hi Alan Dooley,
Have you tried to create a new desktop shortcut ?
In addition, you can try to follow the FAQ below to rebuild the icon cache.

Business Explorer 3.5 compatibility with BI

Our current environment is Windows 2003/SQL Server 2005. We have a existing BW 3.5 system. Now we want to upgrade the existing BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We don't want to install the BI_JAVA usage type this is a ABAP stack only. Now I have some questions in regards to this and if anybody can help me with this I would appreciate it greatly.
Q1. If we upgrade to BI without the BI_JAVA usage type would we be able to use all of the BW 3.5 functionality without having to install JAVA Stack?
Q2. This BW system connects to ECC 5.0 and SRM 5.0. I would like to know do we have to upgrade the Plugins to a specific support pack level in these source system (ECC5.0 and SRM 5.0)?
Q3. What is the minimum patch level for Business Explorer front end tools with version 3.x to work fine with BI 7.0 system?
If you can awnser any of these questions I would appreciate your help immensly and award you points generously as well.
Thank you,
AA

If it's MiniDV and has a FW port, I can almost guarantee it will work. Both FCE and FCP's "compatibility lists" are for the most part incomplete-- I have seen many devices not listed there work fine.

Business Explorer 7.10 -- Bex Problem

Hi to all,
we have implemented GUI for Business Explorer 7.10.
Everything (Query Designer, Web Designer) works fine, except Bex Analyser.
When click on any item in Bex Analyser Toolbox (Excel) nothing appears.
Analyser 3.x that comes with GUI 7.10 works fine.
Our Office Version is 2003.
Anybody knows waht we have to do ?
Thanks in advance.
Horst

In continuation....
Some Insights-
The minimum frontend requirements for any backend support pack are available in table: RSFRONTENDINIT
In order to launch new Bex ,the setting has to be made in the new BEx Analyzer, and is called "Launch legacy version from RRMX"
However for some this settng worked for some it didnt ,check below link to tweak settings as needed.
Re: Launch of BEx Analyzer via RRMX, other transaction?
But the important note on FEP for Bex analyzer versions is
Note 970002 - Which BEx Analyzer version is called by RRMX?
it talks the SP level 10 and 12 to be minimum and walks you through different ways to achive the Bex version.
Re: BEx analyzer settings
BEx Query version required
Hope this helps.

Anil
