Migrating BEx Reports from BEx Analyser to Analysis Office

Hi,

 

We are migrating a couple of BEx Reports from BEx Analyser to Analysis Office.

Problem is the Size Limit issue.

With default size limit in Analysis Office, we get Error: "Maximum Size limit Exceeded".

To overcome this, when I increase the Result Set Size limit, we get Error: "System Out of Memory".

 

Both being Excel based tool and working on .Net framework, while the BEx Analyzer is capable of working with large result-set, we are not able to achieve the same with Analysis Office.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

How to get variables queryID and Result Area in AO same as SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, ResultArea As Range)

Hi Folks,

 

I am migrating some BEX 3.5 workbooks that contain macros into BusinessObjects Analysis workbooks.

VBA knowledge is rare but I figured out how to call routines after refresh using

Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "RegisterCallback", "AfterRedisplay", "Callback_AfterRedisplay")

 

Now I attempt to copy the SAPBEXonRefresh code into the Sub Callback_AfterRedisplay() but SAP SAPBEXonRefresh

used queryID and ResultArea as parameters.

 

As far as I see these are global SAP variables available in BEX but not available in AO.

 

What are the equivalent functions in AO to get those values so that I can use the functions to fill the variable values and the "old" code can run?

 

Thanks for all replies in advance,

Axel

Hi

 

I have an interesting issue when testing the 64-bit version of SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 and I have done a comparison/test of the various combinations of Operating Systems, Microsoft Office and SAP BusinessObjects Analysis software to determine the compatibility and below is the results:

 

64-bit Operating system + Office 32-bit + Analysis 32-bit versions:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2007 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working
Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2010 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working
Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2013 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working
Windows 8 64-bit, Office 2010 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working
Windows 8 64-bit, Office 2013 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working
Windows 8.1 64-bit, Office 2010 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working
Windows 8.1 64-bit, Office 2013 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-bit = Working

 

64-bit Operating system + Office 64-bit + Analysis 64-bit versions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2013 64-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 64-bit = Working
Windows 8 64-bit, Office 2013 64-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 64-bit = Not Working (crashes)
Windows 8.1 64-bit, Office 2013 64-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 64-bit = Not Working (crashes)

 

The following errors were encountered with the last 2 combinations:
1. - Error: General .NET Exception:
Connect to addin failed; launch file cannot be evaluated.

 

Resolved by installing the Analysis add-in on the laptop/pc

 

2. - Error: Error while reading from the registry:
General .NET Exception:
Input string was not in a correct format.

 

Resolved by settings the Windows Regional settings on the laptop/pc

 

3. - Error: General .NET Exception:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A01A8
   at Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarPopup.get_Controls()

 

Unresolved, a search of SAP OSS Notes found a number of OSS Notes, i.e. 1968330 - AO: Excel freezes or crashes when it is getting closed by the user refers to this error and is resolved in SP6 and SP7 of AO 1.4, however this still occurs in my test with AO 1.4 SP7.

 

4. - Error: General .NET Exception:
Type mismatch. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH))
   at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application.get_Selection()

 

Unresolved, a search of SAP OSS Notes results in no OSS Notes

 

5. - Error: General .NET Exception:
The remote procedure call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)
   at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName, BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData)

 

Unresolved, a search of SAP OSS Notes results in no OSS Notes

 

The PAM for Analysis for Office 1.4 shows that Windows 8 64-bit is supported:

 

SBOP Analysis 1.4 PAM.PNG

 

Checklist:
1. Latest Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 64-bit updates applied
2. Latest Microsoft Office 2013 64-bit updates applied
3. Latest Analysis 1.4 patch applied - Check - Currently on version 1.4 SP7 (Update as of 2014/05/14) I see there is already a note with reference to a hotfix soon to be available.

 

Retesting still results in the same issues with Windows 8/8.1 and Office 2013 64-bit and Analysis 1.4 SP7 64-bit

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue(s) before with Windows 8/8.1 and Microsoft Office 2013 64-bit and Analysis for Office 1.4 SP 7 64-bit?

When I activated the Analysis Add-In, I am getting below Error: "Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'analysis' add-in." and it is forcing to disable the add-in and asking to check for if any update is available. It was working fine on 32-bit Excel version.

AOSP7 - insert an info field - Effective Filters

Hi

 

I've just installed AO SP7 (from SP00...) and i found a regression (??) with the insertion of info field 'Effective Filters'.

 

In SP00, the insertion of info field 'Effective Filters' displayed information about the global filter set in the query designer.

 

Now (SP7), this info-field 'Effective Filters' displays the same information as info-field 'Variables' which are only filter set by user in the variable pop-up...

 

Any idea about this issue?

 

Thanks

When we try to add a filter via Insert Component - Filter we get the following error message:

 

"An exception occurred in one of the data sources.

 

SAP BI Add-in has disconnected all data sources. (ID-111007)"

 

"Nested exception. See inner exception below for more details:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

 

We get disconnected and have to close Analysis completely.

 

We are on version 1.3 SP5 (version 1.3.5.2288)

 

What could be the reason for this disconnection?

 

If we filter the same dimension via the Design Panel then we have no issues.

 

Kind regards,

I have a user that has Analysis for Office v1.4 installed on her machine. She's using Windows XP and Office 2007 and when we try to start up Analysis Excel opens but no splash screen comes up. When I close Excel the attached error message comes up with the text of "The Launcher is exited with error, see log file for more details.". The log file text is:

 

- Error:General .NET Exception:

After opening excel again I was able to manually activate the Analysis COM Add-in and use the program as usual. However, after I exit and try to re-launch I have to manually activate it again. I saw one "fix" that mentioned copying the dlls from the temp install files into the Analysis folder but that didn't fix it either. We've used the same install on other machines with the same configuration without incident. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Converting BEx workbooks but using on BI Platform

July 1, 2014, 1:08 pm

Hi guys,

 

We are in the process of moving our BEx 3.5 users over to Analysis and the workbook conversion tool works great. But we have hit an issue. To convert the workbook it needs to be saved on the BW server and then converted within Analysis. So we save it to PW1 (our Production BW system) and then convert the workbook. This 'ties' the workbook to PW1. This works OK for users who do not need to go through the BI Platform to log on. So these could be users who have a 'Named' user licence. However, Concurrent users need to log onto the BI Platform to fulfil their licencing requirments. But when they come to refresh a converted (or created for that matter) workbook that is 'locked' to PW1 they don't get the option to log onto the BI Platform - it connects directly to the BW system (but does allow them to refresh the query).

 

Is anyone aware of a way of detaching a workbook from a system and reconnecting it to another one? I have tried by changing the Data Source name in the Components tab and I am able to choose the same query on a different system. The only trouble with this is that it refreshes the query and resets the data source to the default query design layout - not good!

 

This is going to be a real stumbeling block for us as we won't be able to have all our users going through the BI Platform route and will end up having a mix of log on methods.

 

Looking forward to some help from you guys!

 

Regards and thanks in advance,

Does Analysis for Office support multi thread/core? If so, what verison? I tried searching around this site as well as note 1466118 - Hardware & Software requirements for Analysis, edition for MS Officebut was unable to find an answer.

 

I am on an Intel dual cpu with hyper threading turned on so it essentially looks like 4 cores. When I execute an Analysis View, I rarely see the EXCEL.EXE process go above 25% CPU utilization. I have plenty of RAM and hard drive space.

I'd like to know if it's possible to insert a text column betewen two columns. For example, I have a cross tab showing 2 dimentions, one of them the text is "e/3/r/123" which is the key for that member.

 

What I want to do is insert a column before that one and insert a formula to only show 123 and hide that one that shows the id, is it possible?

BO Analysis standard workbook

June 26, 2014, 6:59 am

Hi all,

 

we are migrating some BEx workbooks to BO Analysis for office 1.4. As for our first try it worked really good in our opinion. We just have some question regarding the "got to" functionality and standard workbooks.

We created a standard workbook which we used as template for all our BEx reports. After migration we still have all the template look and feel but we want to use that created standard workbook for all our Analysis reports also when we use the "go to"/ "report to report interface" function.

 

For example:

The user will open a report workbook saved within the BW repository. For further analysis he/she wants to "drill down" to another query. With right click onto the table and selecting the "Go to" functionality the desired query is available as we configured all that within the query designer and the BW. By selecting the query, a new workbook opens without any layout or standard workbook look&feel. Just a new workbook with standard excel layout opens and the query result is entered from cell A1 to xyz.

We would love to have that report opened with a standard look and feel but can not find any way for this. Therefore we would need a template or standard workbook functionality so that every Analysis reports which will open, will have that basis template look&feel.

 

Could anyone provide help for that issue or is this not available in the Analysis version 1.4?

 

Many thanks in advance and just the best,

Katja

LogOn LogOff in Analysis?

Hi all

 

we are using the regular LogOn when refreshing an Analysis Workbook / datasource.

 

I am aware of the API of Analysis to silently ( no dialog) Login onto BW by providing the

iAppCall = Application.Run("SAPLogon", "DS_1", "MyClient", "MyUser", "MyPWD", "EN")

 

API call.

 

In 3tier environment we really need a LogOff functionality, that might allow us to have 3 buttons like:

LogOn DEV

LogOn QA

LogOn Prod

 

to verify and test query data without closing AO Excel anytime we change the system by just having a LogOff and relogOn  via API & VBA

 

Does anyone know if there is a hidden feature ( @ Victor: maybe you have a hint )

 

If not I'll add it to the feature list of AO

 

Best regards

BOA for Office - Analysis Ribbon greys out when a different sheet in the workbook is locked

July 2, 2014, 7:16 am
$

Here's an interesting bit of behaviour from the Analysis Ribbon: it appears to grey out and lose functionality (apart from the Display function) when another sheet in the workbook is protected:

Frozen BAO Ribbon.png

 

If I try to operate a filter I get an error message:

BAO_error_message.png

 

Note, I have not protected the sheet holding the query or protected the workbook. I can understand that I would not be able to perform a "Reset Data Source" if I had. But I don't understand why the functionality would shut down if a different sheet in the workbook is protected. The query output is never going to spill over into that other sheet. (Not to my mind anyway).


Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Is this a feature or a bug? We are using SAP BOA 1.4.7.3073

 

I discovered this because I want to give a workbook to a group of users and I want to give them an instruction sheet with some screenshots. I want to be able to protect this instruction sheet so that they can't alter the content of the instructions but of course I would like them to be able to run the query on the other sheet, operate filters etc. I can probably work around this but it's a bit annoying that I can't seem to protect any other sheet in the workbook without locking down the query.

 

It would be good to hear of others' experiences of this.

 

Thanks.
