Hello,
It should be possible now (BO 4.1) to schedule an Analysis for Excel workbook
I followed those steps:
Well, the Excel-File is sent to the destination. But the data inside doesn't get refreshed. The static excel content is just sent to the destination, which makes it more or less useless.
Is anyone scheduling analysis for excel workbooks and can tell me if this is behaviour is on purpose?
Thanks!
I have been creating a macro workbook that repeatedly can select a report, set filters and variables and then save them in Excel. This is saving me a lot of time.
One thing I struglle with though is the exact syntax of some of the commands like "SAPSetFilter". I can set filters in flat dimensions without a lot of issues. When w dimension is displayed in HIERARCHY mode however, my SAPSetFilter calls fail.
example. If you have a hierarchy like this:
Dimension CARS
[-] All
[-] GermanCars
BMW
then Run.Application("SAPSetFilter","DS_1","CARS", "BMW", "IINPUT_STRING") will work fine
How do I filter for GermanCars though? I can't seem to make it work. Help is appreciated! I read all the manuals with naming conventions, but I need some working examples to help me out here!

Hi All,
In SAP BO Analysis Edition for Excel the logon credentials to Business Objects BI Platform are not saving for some of the users. Usually once user is given the logon details, next time onwards when the user login, the details will show; the last logon credentials will show as default except password. All the ‘Web Service URL’ and ‘System’ credentials will be saved automatically, if it is tried once and user will be able to select required ‘Web Service URL’ when required. But for some users this is not happening. Anyone know why this is happening in some users/system?
We are using following versions of software’s.
ANALYSIS 1.4 SP 02
BOBJ 4.0 SPS 6 PATCH 2
BW 7.0 EHP1 SPS8
It will be helpful if anyone can share your thoughts on this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Rakesh
Hello,
We configured Windows AD SSO and SAP BW SSO, both working fine so far with BO Analysis for office (BO 4.1 SP1 Patch3, Analysis for Office 1.4).
Unfortunately after a while of inactivity (around 30-60min) in the excel client, the users receive the following error message when inserting a new query in analysis for office. I assume that it's a timeout issue, but I already increased the session.timeout-parameter in dsws.properties.
Any other ideas what the reason for that error could be? Thanks!

Hello,
We are using Analysis for office directly on top of HANA analytical view. We are looking for the option to repeat the key values in the rows so the values will appear in all the rows even if the row above has the same value (if the report was ontop of Bex query than we had the checkbox of "hide repeated key values" that we could uncheck) what is the alternative of this checkbox when using Analytical view directly?
Thanks,
Amir
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to restrict the users to see the packages in our system.

Hi All,
Can you please guide me to understand if SSO is possible for SAP BO Analysis Office on SAP HANA.
I found this Note: 1846640
Which mentions that it is currently not supported .
But want to know if there are any latest developments around this and future roadmap for support of SAO BO Analysis Office Excel/OLAP SSO support on SAP HANA?
Awaiting your response.

Hi all,
We have many customers using complex Analysis for Office workbooks created by themselves, however they were using 3.x queries and now we need to replace the queries with 7.x queries with a different technical name.
We tried by changing the datasource in "components", here we change the 3.x query for the new 7.x query. The problem is that the workbook layout is changed to the initial layout of the query, the workbook layouit saved by the user changes.
Do you know a way to chenge the query behind keeping the layout of the workbook?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I´m looking for additional style set defintion for following custom styles
- Row/column for the display of scaling factors/currency for key figures -> this is combined in the set SAPMemberCellX/SAPMemberCell
- different style definition for subtotals -> it´s defined in the SAPReadOnlyDataTotalCells. Is there a way to distinguish between totals and subtotals?
Thanks

Hello experts,
I'm trying to save a workbook as analysis workbook the BI folders repository.
I'm always getting the same error
"Setting the property SI_ADM_ADD_SI_AOWORKBOOK_COMMONCONNECTION of the object named 'fghfg' with id number 18057 failed because a constraint was violated. The constraint failed for the object named 'DD_HANA_PROD' with id number 14824 and the object named 'fghfg' with id number 18057 because of the following constraint: if then SI_KIND = 'CommonConnection'."
What could be the reason for that ?
Any ideas ?
I'm using BO analysis sp 5 with office 2010 on BO 4.1 sp2.

Dear all,
I use the formula SAPSetFilterComponent on my sheet.
In the background there is an excel add-in running. The add-in is programmed in VBA and registered for the callback event AfterRedisplay.
In the Callback procedure a generic header line is computed containing the current filter values.
Everything works fine, but from time to time the cell containing the formula SAPSetFilterComponent is not working any more. The funnel icon just won't show up!
After a refresh the funnel icon re-appears.
The error does not occurs on a regular base.
When I disable the handler procedure by entering a Exit Sub in the first line, the error does not occur (i.e. the funnel icon will always show up).
That's why I assume some connection between the formula and the callback. Usually when changing the header line, the event AfterRedisplay is triggered again. Analysis does recognize that it is already in "callback mode" but maybe there is still a bug.
Does anyone have a similar experience?
Any feedback is welcome.

I tried searching through SAP documentation for my inquiry but haven't found anything concrete. What are the main differences between Analysis View and Workbook within Advanced Analysis for Excel?
I know an Analysis View is made from a BEx and a Workbook is a saved instance from an Analysis View. I am just trying to understand the key differences so I can make the appropiate security changes within our model.
Are there significant functionality Pros and Cons outside the fact that Analysis View comes first before the Workbook in terms of creation.
Is there an advantage in an end-user being able to save an Analysis View in their My Favorites or only allowing he/she to save Workbooks in their My Favorites?
Thanks!
I have a recent install of Analysis for Office 1.4.5.2826, I think this the SP4.
I am not able to work with the data once it is access from HANA. As soon as I click in the sheet, Excel exits. I tried to enable logging but that also exits Excel.
My systems is:
Windows 8.1 64bit
Office 2013 64bit
I installed the 64bit version of Analysis and left all the features enabled.
I have a second PC that works fine with the above except it is Win7 Office 2010 32bit.
Thanks

Is there a limit to the number of crosstabs that can be inserted in a workbook? Analysis Office 2013 V1.4.1
Hi,
I scheduled an Analysis Workbook and basically it works fine, it refreshes the Excel sheet and stores it correctly in a folder of my file system.
Unfortunately in about 30% of the cases it fails randomly with the following error in instance manager: Precalculation of instance failed with error: 31.
In the log file I found the following entry:
| - Information: | @@@@@ Precalculation Start. (SharedAddIn 2007 Build 1.4.5.2826 Main method) @@@@@ | | 2014-01-27T04:32:07 | | com.sap.ip.bi.pioneer.precalculation.PcMain.ProcessLogPath() () |
| - Error: | System received an expired SSO ticket | | 2014-01-27T04:35:36 | | com.sap.ip.bi.pioneer.precalculation.PcProcessor.Process() () |
Normally we don't have any problems with SSO. Any ideas?
Hello,
is it able to convert / migrate BO-A Reports into Netweaver BI ?
I was looking arround the web and found nothing about it.
Could anybody give me some information about it?
Tanks and Regards

I read through Tammy's 1st steps article - BusinessObjects Analysis Office 1.4 is now GA - Your First Steps - and the PAM for 1.4 that was reference within that Blog. (Thanks for that...!)
It appears that the pre-requisites for BO Analysis for Office 1.4 deployment are Windows-7 (no XP-Pro) on the desktop, and SAP BO BI-4.1 on the platform side.
Therefore, my "lagging" location with XP-Pro on the desktop, and SAP BO BI-4.0 on the platform-side is "stuck" until I can get them to complete their other upgrades to desktop OS & platform....
Anyone know of a work-around, or I am as "stuck" as I assume...?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi Experts,
I'd like to know if there's anyway to disable the prompts or functionality of a refresh of an RRI (receiver). Not entirely sure if that's the correct term.
We have a report (R1) with line items and would be using the Go To functionality to access a second report (R2). Here, R1 will be "throwing" R2 the parameters it used together with the line item information. What I'm asking is if there's anyway to prevent the users to refresh R2 (ie disabling its prompts)
Hopefully, it wasn't too confusing.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark
