Why authorization needed when accesing an export in excel from Bex

Hi Experts,
Before upgrade to version 7.0 when our user export a report to excel is
neccessary enter user and password, the issue is that not everybody
have a user therefore so they cannot see the excel.
This problem is due to the icons are in the server and in the excel
there are links to these icons of the server.(for example the icon of the hierarchy node)
If you configurate the excel to not load the icons the issue disappears
In Microsoft Excel
Select tools->Options->General->Web Options->General tab
and unmark the flag "Load pictures from Web pages"
But this solution is not always available for all users due to different excel plug-ins installed in their local computers.
Our questions are:
1.- How can we avoid these icons in the future?
2.- Why these problems occurs since the upgrade to SAP BW 7.0?
3.- Is there any option to insert the icons instead of having links?
Thanks in advance

Hi Reddy,
it has been some time ago you have posted this issue so I'm not sure if you still need a solution for this issue.
Anyway, I assume you have found the manual regarding the export to excel, csv and pdf for Visual Composer (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123)
We also had issues with the export funcationality described in the document. I don't recall the exact error message.
Just some advice:
Copy the code from the document into Notepad. Then, make sure you re-arrange the code into 1 single line (remove all enters). Then, copy the code into the formula editor of the hyperlink action. Don't forget to define a store (e.g. reptname) but that is explained in the document as well.

Sven

Exporting to Excel from Aria People Search

Is it possible to export to Excel from Aria People Search.
I would like to output the Org Chart (built in) and the Tree (I created) to an Excel file.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
If you are using 10g, then OLE2 is supported. However, it will be executed in the App Server Machine.
If you want to do the operation in the Client machine (as how it was done in the Client / Server), you need to use Client_OLE (Which is part of WebUtil).
Look at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
for more details on WebUtil.

Alternatively you could use OLE2 to do the bulk of the importing and exporting and then use the webutil file transfer functions to move the file to the client and then simply open the file there...That might be more efficient in terms of performance as well.

Exception when remotely executing Export-CsArchivingData cmdlet from C# managed code

Hi,
Hopefully this is the right forum.
The issue is specifically about remotely executing Export-CsArchivingData cmdlet from C# managed code.
I use RunspacePool to connect to remote Lync server as described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706598(v=vs.85).aspx
I can connect to remote Lync server and execute many Lync cmdlets (e.g. Get-CsUser, Get-CsSite, Get-CsPool, etc) and get the results just fine.
However, when it tries to execute Export-CsArchivingData cmdlet remotely, it throws the following exception:
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: The term 'Export-CsArchivingData' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
   at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.AsyncResult.EndInvoke()
   at System.Management.Automation.PowerShell.EndInvoke(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
Additional info:
1. I created a custom RBAC role and added Export-CsArchivingData to it. Then, assign this new role to the account that runs the application.
2. Using regular powershell (not Lync powershell) from the machine (that I run my app from) with Lync admin tool installed and ran with the account that has the custom RBAC role assigned, I can connect to remote Lync server and execute Export-CsArchivingData
just fine.
3. Execute the app using the same above account (that has custom RBAC role) on two machines (one with Lync admin tool installed, one without) and connect to remote Lync server.
   Same behavior on both machine, I got the above the exception when executing Export-CsArchivingData and no problem when executing other Lync cmdlets mentioned above.
   Yes, even from a machine without Lync admin tool installed, I can execute other Lync cmdlets mentioned above.
At this point, I am not sure why I get the above exception when Export-CsArchivingData is executed from my app while I can connect to remote Lync server and call Export-CsArchivingData just fine via regular Powershell, both on the same machine.
Note: I do not call Import-Module Lync in C# managed code since it is not necessary so far for executing other Lync cmdlets remotely.
Any idea on what to look for?
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend you call Import-Module Lync first, the command is not recognized.

Problem with numeric columns when ADF table exported to Excel

Hi,
We have a ADF table on a page which can be exported to excel spreadsheet using the <Af:ExportCollectionActionListener>. The adf table is within panel collection.
There are many numeric columns in this table and there is <af:convertnumber> used on these columns. No other properties are changed on the <af:convertnumber> tag, everything is default. And no formatting is applied on the view object attributes as well. When a user from US is exporting the table to excel everything works well no issues. But a Netherlands or French user exports the excel, the numeric values which have decimal point are shown as left aligned and the whole numbers in the same column are right aligned. As a result when the user is trying to sum the entire column only the right aligned numbers are getting added.
I am not sure what is the issue here ?
HAs someone seen this scenario before ?
Am I missing anything here - any property setting ?
The numbers are shown like this in the excel exported from table.
4,077.78
3,555,34.12
1,234
19,219
3,4445,33.22
Jdev - 11.1.2.3
Thanks

Add a decimal to the whole number columns to make all columns left-aligned. Do all left-aligned columns get added?

When trying to export to Excel the tool hangs for 10-15 min. (1.5.1.54.40)

When trying to export a result set after a query the tool hangs for 10-15 minutes. This is regardless of the export fileformat; xls, html etc. It seems like the problem is related to the complexity of the query: Low-cost query=export OK, High-cost query=Export Not OK (even though the number of returned records is low)
Exporting to any fileformat from a tables data-tab is OK, the problem occurs only in combination with a query that has been ran in a Worksheet.
Will be greatful for any hint!
SQL Developer: 1.5.1.54.40

Hi,
If you are using SQL Dev 1.5.1, you can include the column header by using
CTRL + Shift + C (instead of CTRL + C), and paste it to Excel.
I got this info from other forum, sorry I couldn't find which one.
Don't use the Edit - Copy Path menu, even it uses the same shortcut.

Error detected by Export DLL, when trying to export to excel

Hi All
We are having an issue that has occured recently where some of our user's are unable to export to excel. They were working ok.
The crystal viewer was originally designed using Framework 1.1 (vs.net 2003) and we have applied the hotfix to the user's pc called:
crnet11win_en.exe
Which fixed the issue originally, by upgrading the ExportModeller.dll to 9.1.1.528.
However in this case, even after running the patch, the user's pc is still unable to export to "excel", works ok for PDF and WORD, just not excel.
Tested the report on 2 other pc's and the report is able to export to excel.
Just not on that user's pc, is anyone able to give advice of what could be stopping the user from running the report.
The user is on Windows XP SP3, but we been informed that other user's with XP SP3 are able to export to excel with no problem.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice that you can give.
Regards
Chris
Edited by: CMThompson on Feb 22, 2010 11:52 AM

Thanks Ludek
We found the issue after doing control tests, here.
We found that our crystal viewer, developed in .NET 2003, does not work with XP SP3, even with the fix crnet11win_en.exe.
Our control test, was:
Ran report with XP SP2, exported ok
Upgraded pc to XP SP3, then ran report again, Report failed to export, with error message as described.
Had a crystal viewer set for using .NET 2005 files, but not yet ready for deployment to users, tested and was able to export to excel using .NET 2005 with XP SP3.
The issue seems to relate to exportmodeller.dll, which was the issue in the past when XP was upgraded and stopped the export function from working before.

Hi Ravi,
Normally we dont have to write any code for getting data in ALV's Excel inplace View. It is taken by SAP itself.
Any way waht we can try is just comment
   <b>it_events = gt_events[]</b>
and test whether the data is getting populated in excel..

How to remove values formatting in export to excel from ALV grid

Hi all,
I have small issue, I have ALV Grid with some data, but the problem is with columns containing e.g. gross amounts, because it is displayed in the grid as e.g. 1.764,81, and after export to excel it is still in this format (with dot and comma), so excel doesn't treat it as numeric value but as text, and then when I try to calculate total on the column then this values are not taken to the total. Do you know if that is possible to remove column formatting?
kind regards,
Marcin

I replied too soon to Peter's suggestions. For some reason, I was able to add new info. to my first new row, but not the second. However, I finally figured out the problem.
I found the Help Center page on: "Here are ways to change custom formats and apply changes to table cells:"
To change the elements associated with a custom format that’s been applied to cells, select the cells and click Show Format in the Format pane of the Table inspector.
I saw that the "cell format" was listed as "automatic," so I changed it to "Custom;" then left the new custom window at it's default settings. Now my cells would accept pasted info. without spreading it through the lower rows. Whatever automatic was in the table, it was not what I wanted. Doing this to other new cells, solved my problem. Thanks again.

Export to Excel from Report region (pl/sql returning sql query)

Hello all,
I have encountered an interesting problem. I have an HTMLDB application with a lot of sql reports coded straight inside the report region. In order to better organize my reports, I decided to
1. make all my report regions of type "Pl/Sql function returning SQL query"
2. create a package inside my database schema which houses all reports as pl/sql functions returning VARCHAR2, the string returned being the report query
3. just calling "return package_name.function_name" from inside my report region of type "Pl/sql function returning SQL query".
This technique seemed to work perfectly. The reports were being returned as expected. I was then asked to provide the "Export to Excel" capability to all my reports. This seemed like a piece of cake using HTML DB's "Export to Excel" extension. However, the "export to excel" does not function correctly when my reports are inside a package in the database. HTML DB tries to export but inside the excel spreadsheet, instead of seeing row data, I see:
<pre>failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: missing expression
<!-- select a.username, b.table_name, 'View Row Data' from schema_browser_user_list a, all_tables b where a.user_id = and a.username = b.owner order by b.table_name asc
--!>
</pre>
I am building my query string inside of my package functions by using a combination of literal strings and concatenating them with some parameter values being passed in. It seems that the HTML DB engine which exports the report to excel does not properly understand the concatenation of variables as can be seen by the empty space to the right of the equal sign in the "a.user_id = " clause. Does anybody have any input as to whether this is a known issue or if I am doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for your time.

James,
Thanks for the quick reply. I think you mis-understood what I'm doing. All I'm doing is creating packaged functions which return VARCHAR2. The VARCHAR2 that they return is the report query. With this technique, I no longer have to type the query into the HTML DB report region. Instead, I make the report region a "Pl/sql function returning sql query" and make the following call: return package_name.function_name(some_application_items passed in as parameters)
This makes for a much more organized html db app. The problem is that the "export to excel" function does not correctly interpret the VARCHAR2 that my packaged functions are returning. Is this a better explanation? Thanks again for your time.

Error while Exporting to Excel from ALV Report

Dear Experts,
When I am exporting my report output to an Excel Sheet directly some of the headers are appearing in Row No 1 and some are displaying in Row No. 2. Hence the corresponding values are also showing in the same manner.
I want to show all the Rows in a single row in row No 1. I am unable to find the solution for this.
But when I am exporting the same report into the MHTML Excel format the Report Headings are showing correctly in a single row and hence the respective values are also showing correctly in a single row. And if I save the same MHTML Excel as normal EXCEL(97-2003) format then also it is showing correctly.
The problem comes only when I as exporting it directly into EXCEL(97-2003) format.
Plz help.

Hi,
This is the Technical limitation of ABAP list export to local file.
ALV grid greater than 1023 characters per line will be split into 2 lines.
To prevent a line break occuring when you download the list as a local spreadsheet file, you must reduce the width of the list in ALV. You can do this either by hiding columns or by changing the column widths in the ALV. Take care that the column heading characters also dont exceed 1023 characters. This will work.
Thanks
