Hi Team,
I have created a workbook by embedding three similar BEx queries in the Analysis for Microsoft Excel.
Now my requirement is to execute this workbook by itself and then send an email to the users. Is this possible?
I need this automation as the workbook takes 30 min long to execute and hence the users do not want to waste time in that.. and they need email or the report saved in some folder some thing like that
any ideas?
Thanks
Pallavi
I have an AO workbook with two worksheets with properties of the workbook set to merge variables. I am using replacement path variables to populate one of the queries based on input from the prompts. After execution, the result of both worksheets are "Unsubmitted variables". If I remove the merge variable setting, both queries execute as expected. I've searched and cannot find anything related to this behavior and welcome any guidance.
We are investigating moving our planning front-end from BEx Analyzer 7 to BusinessObjects Analysis for input queries. Is it possible to switch an individual crosstab to change or display mode where there is more than one Datasource in the workbook?
In a BEx Analyzer workbook we have several worksheets with each one having an input query/Grid. Each input screen is set to display mode (Not Input Ready setting within Query Designer) when the workbook opens to prevent locking issues.
In each worksheet we have 2 BEx Analyzer buttons that the end-user must use, one that will allow the user to switch the Data Provider to Edit mode and the other to switch back to display mode. The configuration for these buttons is Data Provider specific, therefore the other input queries in the workbook do not change their status.
However in BusinessObjects Analysis:
1. I cannot get the queries in each worksheet to open in read only mode when the workbook is opened;
2. When the query is set to input-ready mode (Components Tab) the toolbar buttons for Change and Display affect all Data Sources in the workbook, on each worksheet tab.
Thank you
Kevin
p.s. We are using BI 7.01 SP08 with BOA V 1.4.3.2665

Hello,
We are using SAP BO Analysis for Excel version 1.1.0.1167 with MS Office 2007 on Windows XP.
after selecting the query, we are getting below error message:
Error\: Provider Selection Object: Initialization Issue
Workflow to reproduce the issue:
1. Launch SAP BO Analysis for Excel
2. Select the Analysis tab on the Excel Ribbon
3. I then click the Insert button on the Data Source section of the Ribbon and click on “Select Data Source…”
4. I then select the P2W server and click “Next”
5. I enter my P2W login details and click “OK”
6. I then select the Search tab, enter the query technical name, click the search button, select the query from the list box and click OK.
Rather than table of data appearing I get a popup error message in the bottom left of my Excel window:
When clicked gives the error message pasted below.
Could someone help me in resolving the issue?

Dear Colleages,
I have already connected SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office to a HANA DB via ODBC connection but I would like to do the same via BICS as well.
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
When I start AO 1.4 SP09 PL1, I get the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". The log file contains the detail below. This is on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and .Net, with Office 2013.
Would anyone have an idea why this happens or how to fix it?

Hello,
We are using Analysis for office on top of HANA Analytical view. The Analytical view is based on a huge table of about 3B records.When the user try to filter on a member:
The following SQL is generated on the HANA side:
SELECT DISTINCT "AAA" FROM "BBB"."CCC" ORDER BY "AAA" ASC LIMIT 10001
For huge dimensions this query doesn't make scene and will never finish..
Is it possible to prevent from the users to create this LOV when filtering a member?
Thanks,
Amir

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,
Krishnendu Roy.

Hi,
We can't get sso to work between Analysis for excel and our BI4 server, I followed all the instructions in note 1785270 (addng kerberos details to dswsbobje xml and properties page). AD sso works fine with the BI launchpad but I can't get it to work in Analysis.
Were using 1.4 sp1 patch 9 for analysis and BI4.1 SP4 patch 2 on server.
It looks like the userid is not send with the request, the host name of the server is used.
Error in Tomcat is
Acquire TGT using AS Exchange
[Krb5LoginModule] authentication failed
Client not found in Kerberos database (6).
Anyone having similar issues ?
A big thank you for any advice or tips :-)
Hi ,
I'm trying to created a workbook using input ready query created on Aggregation level. When I try to add Planning function I get this below error. we are on the following support pack 1.4.9.3241.
An exception occurred in one of the data sources.
SAP BI Add-in has disconnected all data sources. (ID-111007)
Please find attached the document with screen shorts.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a question on how others have setup the connection to HANA for Analysis for Office. I am wanting to setup end users to access data from HANA using Analysis for Office.
According to the Administrator Guide the SAP HANA OLAP connections are currently not SSO compatible. Also according to the guide an OLAP connection to the Hana database with authentication type Pre-defined cannot work with Analysis for Office because the pre-defined user (and password) is not exposed to local clients such as Analysis.
We have HANA Analytic views and Caculation views which we are accessing using Analysis for Office using an OLAP connection defined in the CMC. At the moment the way for users to access the HANA data is to log in to the HANA system through a SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform prompt and then a second login prompt to HANA. This is not a very good solution as users have to go through two prompts entering two user ids and passwords. Also this means that every end user has to have a HANA login as well rather than us being able to setup a pre-defined user in HANA like we can with Analysis for OLAP.
I am hoping that someone can shed some light on what a good solution might be.
Note:We have native HANA and we don’t have BW on HANA.
Thanks
Steve,
Hello,
Did any one face a similar problem?
Business Objects Analysis for Excel dumps on Save Data in a Standard Input-ready query
Error when multiple rows of data is saved in Analysis. Works fine when a single row of data is saved.
Any pointers to find the probable cause are appreciated. Thanks.
Versions: BO Analysis for Excel Client (Version: 1.4.6)
Netweaver 7.3 SP 11
Steps:
Open a Standard delivered Input Ready query /ERP/COOM_A07_IRQ0001
In the Input template, enter values for multiple WBS Elements for a single period
Click on Save Data
Analysis Error occurred. Data is not saved.
Error Messages:
a) An exception occurred in one of the data sources.
SAP BI Add-in has disconnected all data sources.
If you want to restart, press the Restart button below. (ID-111006)
b) Nested exception. See inner exception below for more details:
Invalid program status\: RFC call BICS_PROV_GET_RESULT_SET returned an exception: INVALID_DATA_PROVIDER_HANDLE
Also, question on Analysis and Java. Is BI-JAVA required for Bex queries to work on Analysis?
From what I gathered from scn, Java isn't a pre-requisite. However all the SAP Notes related to BO Analysis point to corrections or upgrade to BI-JAVA
Hi,
I've recently started using SAP Analysis for Excel at work and I really like all the report I am able to create. I would like to take these reports one step further and rather than creating Excel reports, I would like to programmatically access the data source through Visual Studio and retrieve the necessary data for one of the applications I have already written.
Is this possible? What API or .DLL is required to access the data source directly? Are web services an option if an API is unavailable?
Thanks,
Alex
I've searched all over SCN as well as the rest of the web and can't find a good comparison between the two tools. I did see a post on here comparing WebI 3.X with Analysis 4.0 but we're specifically looking at 4.0 tools. We're working on a side by side comparison of BusinessObjects Analysis vs Web Intelligence and what situations, if any, you would want to use WebI over Analysis, especially when you have Crystal Reports as an option for formatted reports. To us it seems that Analysis gives you much more flexibility without the restrictions of WebI. Any input on this or links to relevant articles is much appreciated and points will be awarded for helpful answers!
Hi everyone,
I need urgent support for one use case in our customer project.
I converted a BEx workbook to BO Analysis for Office via the converting function in the analysis file options.
This is a really big woorkbook with a lot of tabs and queries but I was able to convert it and have it as a BO analysis for office workbook.
After converting, I saved it onto our BO platform and tried to opened it right from the platform.
I just receive two error messages and a empty workbook:
The errors within the Log File are just saying stuff like

Environment
Using Analysis for Office version 1.4 (1.4.8.3163 to be precise) and BI 4.1 SP02 patch 6.
Issue
Can someone confirm that when using "Add lines using filter by member" option, you cannot use the "Select All" option unless you un-check one or more of the selected values in the prompt panel?
Most of our BEx queries have a combination of mandatory and optional prompts with and without authorization variables and when selecting the list of values i always see a "# Not Assigned" value in the list of prompt values. Not sure if the # value is preventing AFO from selecting all values.BEx analyzer allows you to select all values without any issue so would like to know if this is a defect or "design feature" of Analysis Office.
Any suggestions or workarounds are appreciated!
Regards,
Praveen
