WEB BEx Analyzer Comments on Query level

I would like to enable BW users to create comments for some queries an enable other user to read them. System BW 7.01.
Issues and questions:
-how to create comment on query level - it's always on data (KYF), Metadata or Master data level
-I would like to show the document icon - next to the query title (it's relevant for the query)
-when I create Comments (with the button in the standard template), it's on the data level (combination of KYF) - and when I
switch to icon display (settings) I get icons in every line. If this would be just at KYF header??
-where can I edit, delete, ... recorded comments
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
1) If you want to create comments on query level, you need to create metadata documents, object type 'ELEM', object name is the technical name of the query.
2) Document icons are always shown in the data table. Thus it will be hard to show a document icon for a document on query level. If you are using web templates, you can insert a single document item on metadata documents to display the comment on the query.
3) Where the document is displayed depends on the document properties. If a characteristic is document property depends on the infoobject setting -> transaction RSD1 -> enter the characteristic -> tab 'general'.
To see the document properties you can execute the query for example in RSRT (html mode) -> create a new document on any cell. On the bottom you will see the document assignment. Compare this assignment with the cell next to it. If its the same the document will be displayed in both cells. The same can be done for example in java web -> create a new document and switch to the second tab ('BI').
4) Documents can be edited and deleted in the document browser itself, when you open the document in the executed query or in transaction RSA1 -> documents.
Best regards,
Janine

  • BEx Analyzer comments in ABAP Runtime?!

    Hallo, we are using BEx 7.3 in ABAP Runtime (only ABAP Stack). In BEx Analyzer we want to use comments functionality to upload a Word or Excel Document for comments, but the Document Browser we are getting is of BEx 3.x which doen't provide the Button to uplaod the Word/Excel Documents. According to SAP in ABAP Runtime there is no way to upload Word/Excel Documents through BEx Analyzer comments functionality. Ist there any work arround?? Can any body hepl on this issue?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Regards
    Mansoor

    Hallo Anass,
    thanks for your reply but the Link to SAP-Library shows the document about the Documents Browser in Portal, JAVA Runtime. But we don't have JAVA / Portal environment, we have only ABAP Stack.
    The T-Code does not help, cause the BEx Analyzer version we are using is BEx 7.3. It is only the Document Browser which is of 3.x version, because according to SAP Helpline the BEx Analyzer in ABAP Runtime works only with 3.x Document Browser.
    Does anybody know a work around to upload the Word documents?
    Any how many thanks.

  • Execute button for BEx Analyzer in the Query Designer

    Hello,
    My current BEx Query Designer 7.1 and we are using Excel 2003. Currently, I can execute query through BEx Web but I am also looking for green check button of BEx Analyzer also. Could you please tell me how can I incorporate/add this BEx Analyzer check box in Query Designer so that I can execute query both in BEx Web as well as BEx Analyzer.
    Thanks very much in advance.

  • BEx Analyzer Workbook, display query 2 under query 1

    Hello Guys,
    actually I got a problem and did not find a solution for that.
    I have a query, displaying all cars from one particular salesorg. Under this query I want to add a new query displaying all other cars, not belonging to that salesorg. Now I have two problems:
    1) Is there an automated way to display one query among another in bex analyzer, if the number of rows in each query is not constant?
    2) Can I negate the variable from my first query (not salesorg in first query)?
    Thank You!
    Markus

    Hi Markus Alber,
    why can't you do this in one query?
    You can create two selections:
        One for that particular salesorg can use restriction on "salesorg"
        another selection uses "salesorg" restrictions of excluding that particular salesorg

  • Bex Analyzer 70 opens query but does not display results

    Hi Gurus,
    My computer is windows XP 2002with Service Pack2. I have MS Office 2003.
    My SAP GUI is 7.1 with SP 5. ( I am unable to install Windows XP SP3 on my computer).

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated andI would award points.

  • URGENT: SAPBEXonRefresh or Callback in BEx Analyzer after opening query

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to create an standard excel sheet which should be used by default when opening queries. This works so far...
    My goal is to change the format of specific cells in order to get a nice layout and design. If I use the functions SAPBEXonRefresh or Callback (used in the SAP standard sheet) it is just possible to change the format <b>after</b> a refresh. I want to access the cells after the selection of the query, when it's first launched. This does not seem to be possible...
    The functions are declared in the sheet settings dialog and the corresponding sheet is also declared as default in the global setting.
    Now I have to <b>first</b> open the query, which also opens the standard sheet. <b>Second</b> I have to manually do a refresh, that the code in the functions can work as expected.
    Does anybody of you has an idea or solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joerg

  • Query executes in RSRT but not in BEx Analyzer

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a query for an infocube and ods object, in the bex analyzer for the infocube the query executes which has around 5000 records but for the ods object which has also 5000 records comes up with this error.
    <b>An exception with the type CX_SY_EXPORT_NO_SHARED_MEMORY occurred, but was
    neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING                                                                               
    Message no. RS_EXCEPTION000</b> 
    when I execute the query in RSRT it comes up.
    After closing and re logging into bex analyzer executes the query for the first but for the second time again it throws up this error.
    What could be the problem? Can anyone please let me know. Its really really urgent.
    Thanks,
    Prashant.

    hi Prashant,
    try check in RSRT, after choose your query, click 'properties' and set cache mode to 'main memory cache without swapping'.
    also check oss note 656060-OLAP: Cache main memory displacement not functioning.   
    hope this helps.
    Symptom
    Although one of the following two cache modes
    Main Memory Cache Without Swapping (mode 1)
    Main Memory Cache With Swapping (mode 2)
    is set for a query, long runtimes occur when you execute the query. The statistics (table RSDDSTAT) display the database times.
    If there is a heavy system load, the following message can also appear: RS_EXCEPTION000: No left space in shared memory.
    Other terms
    Cache, performance, displacement, shared buffer
    Reason and Prerequisites
    This problem occurs because the shared memory is insufficiently dimensioned.
    <b>Solution</b>
    Increase the amount of shared memory. The size of the shared memory should be at least 200 MB. You can refer to transaction RSRCACHE for the amount of memory reserved by the main memory cache (RSRCACHE -> Main Memory: Shared Memory/Buffer Reserved).
    The corresponding settings are (at least):
    rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb = 200000
    and, as a precaution, also
    rsdb/esm/max_objects = 10000.
    Alternatively, for queries with large resulting quantities, you can convert the Cache Mode in transaction RSRT1 to
    Cluster/Flat File Cache for Each Application Server (mode 3)
    Cluster/Flat File Cache Across Each Application Server (mode 4)

  • Run-Time Error '6' Overflow within BEx Analyzer after copy/paste query

    Hi all,
    User is getting a "Run-time error '6' overflow" message which is caused after copying any query in a 'query pack' to any free row/column within the same sheet (BEx Analyzer). This "query pack" has multiple queries within one sheet and covers 1800 rows so there is enough free space left for copying one of the queries to another position in the same sheet.
    Microsoft Office Excel SP2 is used which is part of MS Office professional edition 2003. The BW version is 3.0.
    Please let me know if more details are required or above mentioned error message is recognized and can be explained.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Raymond Flaton

    Hi VRV,
      This error is caused whenever there is memory issue. If your query is built on a cube which has a BWA index then this problem can be related to the issue with the BWA server. Check your BASIS team to check if there is memory issue presently in the BWA server.
    Sometimes the issue is temporary, where the several users accesing the reports to fetch data from BWA lead to this type of error as the BWA gets overloaded. Try exiting the report and run it after some time again.
    Alternatively you can also try restricitng the selection for fetching the data in the report as suggested.
    Thanks

  • BeX-Analyzer - color more levels of hierarchy

    Hi,
    i have a hierarchie with 10 levels and i would like to give each level a different color. Using Analyzer i am only able to set different colors for the first 4 levels. Excel offers the following style sheets for this:
    SAPBEXHLevel0
    SAPBEXHLevel1
    SAPBEXHLevel2
    SAPBEXHLevel3
    Is it possible to have more style sheets like:
    SAPBEXHLevel4
    SAPBEXHLevel5
    Thanks,
    Holger

    well, defining my own style sheet wouldn´t help much, because the problem is that BeX Analyzer marks all hierarchy levels bigger than 4 with SAPBEXHLevel3. If i define a style sheet for SAPBEXHLevel4 this wouldn´t work, because the elements of hierarchy level 5 are still marked with SAPBEXHLevel3. Somehow i need to tell BeX Analyzer to mark level 5 elements with style sheet SAPBEXHLevel4, level 6 elements with SAPBEXHLevel5 etc...i guess this is done somewhere in the SAPBEX-Add-In?

  • Usage of BEx analyzer 3.5 and 7.0 in parallel

    Dear experts,
    for testing activities we have to install new BEx Tools 7.0 on client machines because the new solution is built on NW2004 BI and just the new 7.0 frontend will be supported.
    However the "old" system will still be used even after go-live for a certain period. We are facing the problem that old queries and workbooks might be migrated and overwritten if the user accidently hit the save button in new BEx analyzer or new query designer.
    We found a solution for the query issue by limiting use of query designer to a small set of power users. However we do not have a solution to prevent the migration of old workbooks by now.
    Looking forward for your answers.
    Thanks and cheers,
    Joerg

    Hi Joerg,
    The old (3.5) workbook stil remains and can be opened through the 3.5 version of BEx analyzer, even if you have migrated and saved in the 7.0 Analyzer.  Be careful though as simply taking a 3.5 workbook and migrating it can cause undesirable formatting...in our case we recreated the workbooks into new roles by running the query and saving the workbook, instead of doing the migration.
    You can also limit the users' auth so that they cannot save into the global workbook roles.
    Hope this helps...

  • IP - Issues with Input Query: Works on Bex analyzer but not on Web

    I am doing the following:
    Created a Aggregation level for a multi provider which has only real time infoproviders associated with it
    Created the query using Bex Query Designer availing all the options for planning
    When I execute this query it executes using a web template and does not open up the Key Figure cells for input, I had tried using the Web Application designer with Save button but still the same issue
    I tried the same on Bex analyzer and it works fine
    Please help to resolve the above issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ram,
    Cells should be input enabled on the web just running the query. No need to create a Webtemplate, altough you need to have the webtemplate to be able to use the "save data" function.
    Maybe your query is not input ready at all, and you're misinterpreting analyzer layout.
    To test this, please enter some plan data in analyzer, right click and choose "save".
    Please check if data is written to the real time infoprovider.
    Hope this helps you.
    Regards,
    Miguel P.

  • Webi Vs Bex Analyzer for the same query

    Hi Experts ,
    I face an issue in Webi Vs Bex Analyzer for the same query :
    Output of Bex query:
    Transport System     Location ID     Quantity
    PIPEC1-Z4          LOCCP1-Z4     1,000.000 BBL
                              LOCCP2-Z4     400 TO
                              LOCGAL-Z4     *
                              LOCRAS-Z4     200 TO
                              Result     *
    Here as the Unit of measure is different, the RESULT displays a *
    Only in cases where the unit of measure is the same, the result
    is displayed correctly.
    However in webi, the sum function blindly adds up without any possibility
    to check whether the uom is the same.
    How can I check to add only when the units are the same ?
    Regards, Jerin.

    Hi Jerin,
    Each Key Figure used in a BW query can have up to three different sets of information:
    Numeric value of the Key Figure corresponding to the Key Figure without the unit.
    Unit or Currency information, A Dimension object with character format that contains the unit or currency. For example, 'USD', 'u20AC', 'km'
    Formatted value, representing the user-specific formatting. A Dimension object with character format that contains the Key Figure and the unit (formatted value) based on user preferences configured on the SAP server. For example, '200 USD', '345 u20AC', '25 km'
    Each Key Figure is represented with a Measure object in a Class u201CKey Figures.u201D In the case where the Key Figure is configured in BW with a unit, an additional Dimension object will be added representing the unit information. The u201CFormattedu201D value represents the numeric value Formatted as a string value, following the user-specific formatting settings.
    Or if doesn't appear the Unit, for some CKF or RKF it happens, you can add to your BEx query and then to the universe the unit or currency and create a separate dimension with that information.
    I hope this help you.
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    There has been some escalation with regards to similar problem with the early version of BI 4.x.
    I would advise you to download the latest version and latest patch in your QA environment and do some testing with the same query.
