Workbook migration BEx 3.5 to Analysis 1.4 SP3
Hi togther,
we are currently in the migration phase at customer site. And we have many performance issue when we start the migration of bex workbooks to analysis workbooks. And we would like to know how we could monitor the migration.
Is there any possibility to create a trace file for the migration where i can see the reason of the system crash?
And the second question is:
Is there a possibilitity to get an progress bar for the migration? I mean the user dont know is the application crashed or is the migration still in progress.
Thanks in advance and best regards
Christian
Hello Christian,
On the first question, are you seeing the log for the conversion? (shown in Figure 4 here SAP BusinessObjects Analysis Office 1.3 – BEx Workbook Conversion Details + Q&A )
Maybe the log will help with the crash?
I don't work for SAP so I can't answer your second question. Maybe enter this in Idea Place as an idea (ideas.sap.com)

Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks
Hi,
Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks.
For instance when you edit,open an 3.x query in 7.0 query designer it is automatically migrated.Would it be same if we open it in 7.1 query designer?Is it possible to migrate queries and workbooks without any fail or deletion or loss?
Thank you.I will add to the already excellent suggestions made above that the migration from Bex 3.x to Bex 7.0 is VERY laborious. There are no automated tools.
All queries and workbooks must be identified (use this as an opportunity to get rid of unused objects)
Each query must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as needed.
Each Workbook must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as well. The "Automated" conversion tool that SAP provides (it's behind the scenes Visual Basic) presents problems with at least 50% of the workbooks, and so they have to be manually fussed with.
If you've used Visual Basic at all in your Workbooks, you'll have to change 'em all. The On Refresh event no longer exists.
And of course, test... test.. test.. and test.
And don't forget to retrain your users. The User interface is dramatically different.
Good luck ! We're 3 months in to a five month conversion project. -
Hi All,
I am working on migration of workbooks to BI 7 enviornment.
I want to know the answer or pointers for the following questions,
1. What is the best strategy to migrate -
Open the workbook in each system in Bex 7 analyzer and
save it.
or Save in new tool in development system and transport to production.
2. How to restore the migrated workbook to old BW 3.5 version.
3. What kind of common issues are faced in workbook migration.
Regards,
NirajHi Chetan.
Thanks for the response.
I have already read the blog sent by you. But it does not answers the questions which I raised.
I s there any way to restore workbook to 3.5. We can restore the queries using program COMPONENT_RESTORE. -
BEx Browser35 for GUI720: Workbooks in BEx Analyzer cannot be opened
Hello,
When trying to open Workbooks using BEx Browser35 the Workbooks do net get opened within BEx Analyzer, the "lInks" seem to be inactive.
The test has been conducted using SAPGUI720 with BEx35_Patch1 and Windows7/Office2010_32bit.
Does anyone know if this problem is related to the new SAPGUI-version being used or is this a known error requriring some manual configuration.
Kind regards,
ChristophHi,,
Please read through Note 1435326 and check that all of the prerequisites are met.

How to open a workbook in BEx 700
Hi Friends,
Is there a way to open a workbook in BEx, just knowing its ID and name?
Workbook is not saved in a role, psooibly in favourites of a user. In 3.5 using FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL
was a way to achieve this.
Any ideas?
Regards
JoeHi again,
First of all thanks for answers.
Please let ne give a short explanetion of my issue:
i'm BW Admin, we are currently "moving" from 3.5 to 7.0. My problem is, that I'm missing al ot of ueseful tools, provided in 3.5.,
not longer available in 7.0, as you can see form my threads in the past. In all of the long years of working in IT, I never expeienced such a step back and a lack od conbienence intrducing a new release of any software.
However, one of my users is spending his holidays and a collegue just wants to run a workbook obviously saved
in his favourites. And I'm still searching for a possibilty for achieving this in a easy way, without changing settings in
user administration (copying favourites copying ,even etire user....).
Thanks and Regards

Arrange workbooks in BEx Browser
Hi all,
We are facing a problem arranging the workbooks in BEx Browser. In some folders we have many workbooks and these are just sitting on top of another. I tried to arrange them manually or with the properties option, but even then we still have many workbooks and the Users are having a tough time looking at them. I do not see any scroll bars that will make the window grow according to the number of workbooks.
Do we have a option to set up the scroll bar in the Browser window so that the workbooks wont overlap or any other option to list the workbooks.
Thanks,
Prabhu.Hi,
You can assign workbooks to roles and assign roles to users. After that a person can login to the Bex Browser and based on the roles that he/she has see only those workbooks.
using tcode PFCG you can create what you want: assign roles to specific users. after saving workbooks under role and a role's menu item a user depending on his/her roles will see only what was allowed.

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
- I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
- My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
- The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
- My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
- Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
Any ideas? If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it. -
Error while Saving Workbook in BEx
Hi Experts,
When ever I am trying to same a workbook, I get the following error:
"workbook format .xlsm is not supported by the server"
Does anyone of you faced this error earlier ? Please suggest. I am working on SAP Netweaver 2007 and have MS Office 2007 installed in my system..
Best Regards,
RishiHi,
Please let me know if you are opening the workbook in 3.5 Analyser. If
then unfortunately Business explorer Analyzer 3.x is not supporting the
new file-format. Please refer to note 1052761. If you would like to use
new office 2007 file format you need to use Bex Analyzer 7.0. Due to
the architecture of Analyzer 3.x this behaviour cannot be changed.
BW Support Package lower than SP16 it is not
possible to save files in Excel 2007 file formats on the server. But you
can still save files from Excel 2007. When using the SAP Default
Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format" as defined in note
1267924. If you create workbooks from scratch ensure that Excel creates
new files in XLS format (in the Excel options).
Afterwards you are able to save files with Excel 2007 in XLS file
format. The new Excel 2007 file formats require the implementation of
the latest BW Support Package.
If you are interested in saving workbooks in xlsm format you have to
use at least SP16 and a recent FEP (e.g. FEP801). But it is
not correct that it will work also when you implement the notes on a SP
level which is older then SP15, as then other corrections are missing.
And these points, I am afraid, cannot be downported to a Support package
less than SP15.
Therefore I have to ask you to import furhter SPs. Then I am pretty sure
that it will work.
Please check also note 1055581 ... where you find the info that
we recommend to use at least SPS15 (which is BW-SP17).
Thanks,
Venkat
So as mentioned above you can still save files from Excel 2007. When
using the SAP Default Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format"
as defined in note 1267924. For saving the workbook in the new file
format(xlsm) you need atleast SP16. The latest Sp being SP20, I suggest
you to look for an upgrade. -
Adding workbook in Bex Browser
Hi
My requirement is i have to add a new workbook under a particular role in Bex Browser How can i do that please help with the steps
Thanks
SheetalSheetal,
Bear in mind that you will need designer access to add a workbook to a role.
Do you know you can also add a workbook to a role from the BEx Analyser? When you workbook is to be saved just select Save - New Workbook - and place it in the required role. It will appear in the Browser in that role.

Hi Experts,
We are migrating 3.5 workbooks to 7.0 . Can anyone please let me know what could be the issues in the new workbooks due to migration.
Thanks,
AMHi,
There will be various issues like; Format issue( lost format, vba,macro codes etc.), design Issues etc.
To retain the fromat after migrating the workbook to 7.0: I did this, in following way:
-save it. At this stage the format is going to be exactly same as 3.x workbook. If you start refreshing, you loose format.
-Go to design mode and deselect 'apply format' option and save it again. Here you can see that you have lost the format.
-Format it again and save it.
-This will work now when you refresh. Refreshing takes.

2 Queries within 1 workbook in BEx BI7.0
Hi Experts,
I know that there is a new method of creating a workbooks in BI7.0 using the Design Mode.
Suppose I have put 2 queries within 1 sheet in excel (one on top of the other). I did this by inserting 2 analysis grids within the same worksheet.
When I try to drill down the query on top, the area it occupies expands and completely overwrites the query at the bottom. As such, the bottom query disappears.
Is there a setting somewhere which will make the system adjust the position of the query at the bottom in this scenario?
I remember that with 3.x, when you insert 2 queries within the same worksheet in the workbook and you try to do a drilldown, the system would ask if you want it to overwrite or adjust the affected query area.
I am trying to look for the same functionality in BI7.0 workbook creation.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Workbook in BEx Analyzer doesn´t open
Dear all,
I´ve a problem, because I have a user on the bw and I work with the BEx Analyzer.
When I open a special workbook there comes a white screen and then nothing.
I deleted the user I´ve used and created the user new but still the same problem.
But when I create another user id the problem doesn´t exist.
What can it be?
Or are special user parameters set in the sap bw? because I have not set any parameterthe authorizations are ok.
I´ve made a authorization trace with ST01 and that´s not the problem.
A few weeks before the problem doesn´t exist. But after a few weeks I´ve opened the workbook and it doesn´t open.
Is it possible to delete the user but that all things of the user will be deleted like entrys in tables of the customizing where the user is in? -
Hi Experts,
We are migrating workbooks from 3.x to BI 7. While opening the workboon from BI 7 Analyzer we are getting the following System Error and Disconnecting from BW server.
'Program Error in class SAPMSSY1 method UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION. System error in program CL_RSR_XLS_VIEW and from ASSIGN_QUERY_2_DP03'."
We are at support pack level 17 and GUI - 710 with patch level 8.
If you have experienced with the above errors. Please respond.
Thanks
DBHi Naveen,
In migration you will get all these errors related to Front end. First save the Existing 3.x workbook so that the old version of the workbook will be saved into new Excel version (2003). now try to migrate the workbook , this time you will not get this error.
The root cause for this problem would be all your workbboks have been created erlier in very old version of Excel.
Thanks
DB
