HI togheter
We have configured our BI 4.1 (SP2 patch1, Win2008 R2) to use SSO for WinAD ((Kerberos). this working without any problem, we can logon to the BI Launchpad without user and password.
Now the next step is, that we can logon to BI 4.1 with the Advance Analysis for Office, also with SSO.
For this i read the note '1785270 - How to configure AD SSO for Advance Analysis for MS Office with Business Objects BI 4.0'
If we logon tp BI 4.1 we got the error this message:
'constructor exception (Error: WSE 99999)'
This are our settings in the file web.xml:
<filter>
<filter-name>KerberosFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.businessobjects.sdk.credential.KerberosFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>idm.realm</param-name>
<param-value><Domainname></param-value>
<description>
Required: Set to the Kerberos realm you wish to use.

</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>idm.princ</param-name>
<param-value><Username></param-value>
<description>
Set to the Kerberos service principal to use.
This will be a name of the form HTTP/fully-qualified-host.
ie. HTTP/example.vintela.com
If not set, defaults to the servers hostname and the
idm.realm property above.
</description>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>idm.keytab</param-name>
<param-value>C:/WINDOWS/bosso.keytab</param-value>
<description>
The file containing the keytab that Kerberos will use for
user-to-service authentication. If unspecified, SSO will default
to using an in-memory keytab with a password specified in the
com.wedgetail.idm.sso.password environment variable.

</init-param>
In the dsws.properties we changed the parameter kerberos.sso to true.
Has someone an idee what is wrong?

Dear Experts,
I used Analysis for Excel and allow users to add lines in the report. (After that they will upload that Excel File to BW)
My problem is that I come across the error message Crosstab overlaps Excel Cell Content. The reason is data in crosstab overlap users input data.
Is there any way to let the system replace the user input lines and ignore this warning msg?

Hi!
I have built a query that runs fast and smooth in BEx (result is returned on screen within a few seconds). However, when executing the same query in BO Analysis (for MS), it's slow. It can take up to 2 minutes to get the same query result returned.
How do I solve this? Can I expect the same query performance in Analysis as in BEx?

Dear Community,
as you can see in the title, I am trying to modify an user interface. We are using Excel BOA as a frontend to our business partners and I want to make it more clearly; but I'm currently facing some issues regarding this.
First of all, I want to "fix" or "lock" the column widths. Therefore I used "Format" --> "Sheet protection" and marked the selections, which users still might change. Unfortunately after locking the column widths BOA won't let me refresh the whole worksheet. Even if I "only" lock some specific cells outside of a planning function (for example cells related to a process graphic).
Is there any other way I can deal with this?
In addition, is it possible to automatically mark the third row within a single cell "bold".
E.g.
| Plan data Season 1 November | Plan data Season 1 December |
In this case all the months (November, December, etc.) in this row should be automatically marked "bold".
At last I also have an issue regarding the cell borders. I added some individual cell styles. I edited the font color as well as the background color, but when I want to change the border color, it won't apply. Font and background color are working perfectly fine. Is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong?
I appreciate any response. Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Dominik Drebinger
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 everybody,
I have a question concerning the SAPListofMembers method.
In my workbook I have several pop-ups that consist of user forms which are intended to read in user inputs. With these inputs I want to select the members of variables of my planning functions.
Here is one of the pop-ups: In this case the user has to select a plant.
The list is filled via the following method:
Sub fillCombobox(cntr As MSForms.ComboBox, dataSource As String, memberType As String, name As String) ' Methode um die Kombo Boxen aus einer Variable zu füllen
Dim lData() As String
Dim length As Integer
Dim result
Dim i As Integer
'On Error Resume Next
result = Application.Run("SAPListOfMembers", dataSource, memberType, name, Key)
If Not IsError(result) Then
length = UBound(result)
Dim lLine
ReDim lData(length)
'On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To (length)
lLine = ""
lLine = WorksheetFunction.Index(result, i)
If TypeName(lLine) = "String" Then
lData(i) = lLine
Else
lData(i) = lLine(2)
End If
Next i
On Error GoTo 0
End If
cntr.List = lData
End Sub
And this method is called via the following code:
Call fillCombobox(UserForm1.ComboBox6, "PS_1", "PLAN_PARAMETER", "ZPLANT_MMEO_01")
My problem ist the following:
Depending on the Logon Language in Analysis either the keys or the Texts are shown in the list:
Now I want to be able to have the list consisting of the keys instead of the texts also when I logon in german, because my customer uses the german logon (but wants to use the keys to select the plants). But I don't see any possiblity to define that in the SAPListofMembers method. I also tried to change the display behaviour in the query, but this did not change anything. Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you and best regards,
Jan Gutzeit

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for the easiest way to insert two or more ribbons and some buttons as placeholders in BOA. Right now I have only one ribbon with two planning functions, but I want to introduce some placeholders next to them. In addition I want to create a "dummy" ribbon, which will also be "filled" with complete planning functions in the future.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Dominik
Hi!
I just upgraded to the newest version of Analysis Office (1.4.5.2837) and now there is a .0 at the end of every key figure. This behaviour is present on two completely different systems.
The Key figure are set to display two decimal places.
The key figures are set to display no decimal places. There is still the .0 at the end.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like that?

There is a new profiling functionality available since Analysis for Office 1.4 SP4.
The purpose of this profiling is only for support cases, means if SAP needs more data for solving a customer incident. But the strength of this profiling makes its worth to show it here.
Please keep in mind that you will never get support for this functionality!
At the registry entry
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\AdvancedAnalysis\Setting\Utilities
you have to create a string value called “ClientProfiling”. The enable the profiling the value should be “True”. Everything else is deactivating the profiling.
If the profiling is enabled it’s not possible to enable the BW Server Tracing in parallel!
After restarting Analysis for Office every interaction will be captured.
After you did the steps you need to profile you can open the results via the help menu:
The following screen will occur:
The bottom of the screen shows you the summary:
In that easy usable tree view you are able to navigate in each of your interactions.
“Step 1: 5481 / 0ms, Insert Query ‘RSDDSTSTAT’ Overall”
In that line we are able to see that I inserted a Query. That step took 5481ms overall processing time, excluding the time that I spent in dialogs, means the application was idling (for example entering the password).
“>> RFC: 279 (Count 9), Client: 5202, User at dialog: 6812”
In that line we can see that Step 1 caused 9 RFC calls. 279ms were spent for that. 5202ms were spent for client processing time. Step 1 mentioned 5481ms in sum, that the sum of 279ms RFC time and 5202ms client time. I spent 6812ms inscreens like entering password or selecting the query.
“1059/993ms, Update UI”
That’s one of the most important. In that profiling step I can easily find out if one of my navigation steps (especially if I am doing navigation via VBA) is causing (unexpected) RFC calls. In the given example we can see that the update of UI caused 2 RFC calls. The calls are listed underneath: BICS_PROV_SET_STATE and BICS_PROV_GET_RESULT_SET.
The button “COPY” in the screen gives you the chance to export the results.
(Back to the purpose of this functionality)
You can attach that to a customer incident to help SAP solving your issue.
Please answer to that document or write me a private message if you need more details to a specific profiling step.
I will put them to this document…
Hello,
I have BusinessObjects 1.4 SP06 with Excel 2013 and I am trying to include a planning sequence (or function) in the workbook.
After including the planning sequence in the components tab, the properties are not displayed and if I try to select it again the system issues the following error message:
Control does not support transparent background colors
The image shows the error message and the components tab with no properties for the planning sequence.
The detailed error, from the log file, is the following:

Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
While trying to open a workbook or a datasource in SAP BO Analysis for Excel, I am trying to locate SAP systems which are not included in my local "SAP logon". Though, the option of "Local System" in the show connections option of SBO Analysis is my only option as the dropbox is inactive.
According to the User Guide, all other options (All/System/Cube/Infoprovider/Query/Query View) which are included in the "Connections" section are referring to Business Objects Enterprise which is not my case.
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
We are in Analysis Office 1.4, BW 7.3 SP9 and Portal 7.3. We can't find
iView template for AO in the Portal according the note 1825429. As confirmed by SAP last week, the iView template doesn't exist yet.
We also can't follow the instruction in the note 1799515 to create the
iView template manually. In our portal 7. 3, iView wizard doesn't have
option to create portal component ( step 1 ).
Does someone know the detail steps on how to go to - iView Wizard -
Application Technology - Portal component -create an iView from a portal
component contained in a deployed portal archive (PAR file) in Portal 7.3?
Hi Experts,
We have a request to have one of the filter cells in wrap text. We've set it as such, however upon refresh, the cell still doesn't seem to wrap it automatically. The cell performs the wrap text once a property of the cell has been updated.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark
Hey,
is there any chance to integrate analysis workbooks into Enterprise Portal?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I'm facing some troubles regarding my prompt in BOA. I unticked the "use characteristic setting" and then said "display as Text" (Text view Standard). Now it shows my prompt like this in the BEx Analyzer:
Unfortunately it shows my prompt like this in BOA:
How can I get rid of the "technical name" in front of "brand"?
Thanks in advance

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,
Lieselot
