Workbooks

When I transport a workbook it transports ok to the test system - appears in the role and can be opened. However, when I import to production it appears in the role but when I try and open it I get a message that it does not exist in the data store. Why is this and how do I resolve? Thanks

when you collect the objects in transport connection select the role you will get all the workbooks under that role then select you workbook and assing it to request and release the request and transport .

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

Error while transporting a Workbook

Hi Pioneers
I got an Error while transporting a Workbook from Development to quality.The error is "logical transport object 432L not found in table RSTLOGOPROP".
Could u let me out with a possible solution....Plz...

Hi,
You have to create a new request and transport it again before transporting ensure that you collect all the dependent objects manually in the "Transport Connection" in the collection options.
Hope this helps

Running workbook from .bat fails to start application missing CORE40 dll

I have been running several workbook via windows task scheduler / vbscript &/or bat files.
I now have a new box which I access thru Remote Desktop Connection, so I can run all these automated updates without having my screen blinking everytime a shedule workbook starts.
If I click on the actual Discoverer icon, or the discoverer workbook shortuct, all works well.
If I click on the .bat file, or try to run the workbook via the cmd , it gives me the following error:
DIS4USR.EXE – Unable To Locate Component
“this application has failed to start because CORE40.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
The dll is under c/orant/bin/core40.dll, which is where I've read it should be, and it works fine in my regular box...
Please help! URGENT :)
Thanks!

Hello
Check the PATH environment variables for the machine you are on and the one you are connecting to.
You might not have Discoverer's objects in the PATH.
Another possibility is that you have more than one piece of ORACLE software on the machine and you may need to also set the ORACLE_HOME within the BAT file.

On excel sheet upload read the workbook and populate data to sharepoint list

Requirement in my current project:
In a document library when I upload an excel sheet, a specific workbook has to be read and the contents have to be uploaded to a sharepoint custom list.
The approach followed was create an event receiver and register as a feature. Following is the code for event receiver.
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
            base.ItemAdded(properties);
            var list = getSPList("{150301BF-D0BD-452C-90D7-2D6CD082A247}");

            string filepath = doc.File.Url.ToString();
            doc["Msg"] = "excel name" + excelname + filepath;

            finally
                System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ExcelUpload", "finally block");
Is this the only approach to meet this requirement or is there any other way to crack it. sharepoint techies please help me.

as you described the scenario of the event that it should happen when user upload excel to a document library. Event Receiver is your best bet. However if you would have a requirement that users can send excel files any time to a network file location and
you want to pick it, read it and create list items etc. You would write a sharepoint timer job that would run every 10 minute to check for file and if available on the network drive, perform the operation etc. so that users who send excel file does not need
to come to the sharepoint etc. You can see that you have Event Receivcer option or Timer job option OR you would write a console application to trigger the code at a scheduled time on sharepoint server etc. so you are using the event receiver in the correct
scenario.

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul

Long time to open workbook for first time

Hi,
I have a workbook with three queries . Performance of workbook is good when it was created for first time. It has additional 22 sheets with formulas and other sheets with values based on query sheets.
The problem starts after I close the existing session and open in another session when it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come up.But after that the book is slow even for single click button action.
Version of analysis 1.4.6
Win 7(64 bit)
Ms office 2010(32 bit)
Refresh on opening is disabled.
Few thing which I did:
>> I opened up task manager and did analyze wait chain, I found that excel.exe is waiting for splwow64.exe process.
>> I enabled logging at "debugging information" in support setting for workbook and checked things out in log file.
Found that
There was warning "AddSerializer failed (Command processors not initialized)
Looking at log file for events when book took time to open, I found that time stamp gap between following events"
-verbose: Working mode as serialized in document:'Local'
-verbose: Successfully deserialized system info from workbook XML
- verbose: ...its logs various properties of queries like query name,id etc"
and its immediate previous event of cache formula string is 20 mins.
>> in another session I opened a workbook with normal performance.Found above mentioned warning message and deserialization... information.
the difference in this case is that there is not delay in events.
Has anybody faced this issue? Any idea on deserialization of workbook xml in analysis.
Any idea where is metadata saved in analysis. is it in form of some hidden script object just as in BEx 7.0
Thanks
Pramod.

Hi Pramod,
Since you have several sheets in this workbook, have you checked the number of custom styles?
Please check the SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1899658
According to the note, too many styles slow down Analysis for Office.
The note also contains a macro that you can run on your workbook to delete the custom styles if you want to check.

Filipe

Error while running a Discoverer Workbook with parameter from command line

I am trying to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls on to my local machine. I could do it fine for a simple workbook, but if I add a parameter(madatory) to the workbook and run it from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for, I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr.exe /connect user/password@database /apps_user /apps_responsibility "System Administrator" /eul EUL_US /open C:\Disco\Test.DIS /sheet Testsheet /parameter Period Jan-07 /export xls C:\Disco\X.xls /batch
Parameter value is entered in correct format(Jan-07).
When I removed /batch from this to see if I get any error, Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Did anybody come across this issue before?

Hello,
If you have a few minutes, Windows is also aborting for me:
the differences are, my situation is:
a) am running the command line from a .bat file
b) am NOT running with parms, want the discoverer query to come up for the user
c) am running a query from the database
i am signing in as myself BUT running a query that was created by a generic user called SREG
c) if i run the .bat file from Windows Explorer, the query opens fine
d) if i execute the .bat file from within Microsoft Access using the shell command,
the query opens and then aborts RIGHT BEFORE the parm screen would display
e) btw, if i modify the .bat file, to run a query from MY database signon, then (d) - running .bat file
from vb using SHELL command works
Do you have a ideas as to why (d) does not work? I would be very grateful for your time, tx, sandra
this is what i posted yesterday, tx: Re: Running Discoverer command line

Error while scheduling a workbook

Hello.
I'm trying too schedule one of my wDiscoverer Workbook, but I meet a SQL error :
+"ORA 04063 : package body MYUSER.EUL5_BATCH_USER" contain errors.+
PL/SQL : uni program called "MYUSER.EUL5_BATCH_USER" doesn't exists
I searched on the forum, and I found this workaround :
Error when trying to schedule a workbook
So I granted select on my user, but it didn't work better since.
Is there another solution ?
Thanks for help !
PS : I'm on Discoverer Desktop

Hi,
You need the follow database object priviliges:
GRANT SELECT ON v$PARAMETER TO MYUSER;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_SQL TO MYUSER;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_JOB TO MYUSER;
Alternatively, you could grant the following system privileges:
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO MYUSER;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO MYUSER;
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO MYUSER;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO MYUSER;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO MYUSER;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE TO MYUSER;
GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO MYUSER;

Error message while displaying a Workbook in Portal

Hello,
We have a Workbook with 5 Queries in ech sheet. When we open the Query from Portal it displays the error message that
1. Query was changed! Characterisitc no longer exists
2. Invalid filter on CUST_SD: Filter changed
I opned the Workbook directly from Analyzer and it did not display the error message.
Thus it seems to be a change required in Portal side or may be some property of the Workbook.
Please let me know your opinion to fix the error.
Regards,
Nitin S.

Can you define "sometimes" a bit more?
Is it after a number of runs of a report?
Is it on a particular report?
Is it after you do certain operations on the report (paging, zooming, dill down, print, etc., etc.)?
Can you duplicate the issue if you isolate the report to a new test app?
Did you happen to notice if the issue existed prior to FP 3.5?
Is this on your dev computer or a client computer?
OS?

Error while migrating discoverer Workbook

Hi All,
I am migrating Business Area and Work book from one instance(QA) to another(Production) DB instance.
I have successfully did export of business area and import in production instance.
For workbook migration I have followed the below mentioned steps.
1) Open QA instance and open the required workbook.
2) Do "Save As" of the workbook to local machine as ".DIS".
3)Then Login to Prodcution Open the workbook from the local machine. But in that case it gives following error
" Cannot join tables.Item dependency "" not found in EUL. "
"Attempt to open workbook failed" Anyone can help me to solve this issue. Please.
Thanks
Alaka

Hi Janet
Here are some more notes from my private collection of tips and tricks:
Discoverer workbooks are very picky when it comes to opening up against an end user layer. Basically, here is what happens:
All EUL objects have an ID number and a name. When Discoverer saves a workbook it saves both the ID number and the name of every essential object (business area, folders, items and joins) that is used within the workbook. The next time Discoverer opens the workbook it looks at the ID numbers of the objects and tries to find them in the EUL. If it cannot find an object by its ID number it tries to locate it using the object's name. If an object cannot be located either by its ID number or by its name you will get the dreaded Item Dependency error.
OK, having got that out of the way, if you delete a folder from within the EUL and re-create it you will lose the ID number of the folder and all of its associated objects (items and joins). The only way Discoverer will be able to open this workbook now is if everything within the folder is named EXACTLY the same way (including underscores and casing of the name), otherwise the workbook will not open. Discoverer will report the error message that you are seeing.
So what can you do? Well, you need to have some way of finding out what the old folder name(s), item names and join names were. Also, you need to make sure that all items that were not hidden are not hidden now. There is no need to worry about the names of hierarchies or lists of values. These are not stored within a workbook and are only hooked in at runtime.
Seems like you have to somehow painstakingly determine what all of the item and join names were in your old folder(s) and re-create them 100% the same way in the new folder(s). By the way, when the workbook gives you the error message does it also give you an opportunity to assign al alternative item to the item that it can no longer find a value for? This may work but, in my experience, usually doesn't!! It only works if the missing dependency is an item, it won't work if the error is being caused because you have got a join name wrong. Unfortunately, joins MUST have the same name exactly otherwise there is just no way to open the workbook.
Best wishes

Error while opening an workbook

Hi
I have a condition on the base query. The requirement was the user wanted a Selection option range on Key figure, so i had to create a condition with two variable (To and from). And also if I enter some value in the variables my workbook opens fine if i leave the condition variables empty i get the error and disconnects from the server. Please advice how to overcome this error
PS: recently the system is upgraded from 3.5 to BI7.
Thanks

Error while executing the WorkBook

Hi,
While executing WorkBook, I am facing an error "A critical program error has occured. The program will now terminate.Please refer to the trace for further information".
When I check in the trace, the error description is "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Can someone plese guide me on how to solve this issue !!
Thanks & Regards
Seshendra Reddy

Hi,
Make sure you have .NET framework 2.0 with latest Service Packs installed on your system. Also try and see if you will be able to run the report by having more selections for restricting the data to a minimum. This is because, BI 7, uses more memory than what BW3.5 used to use. This inturn results in some reports not to run for same selection for which we could get back result in BW3.5
Thanks,
KR
