Analysis for Office SSO with more then one OLAP connection within CMC

January 12, 2015, 7:35 am

Hi together,

 

I do have a question:

we enabled to use SSO with Windows Active Directory for Analysis for Office to logon.

This is working fine while opening existing workbooks coming from the BOE platform and of course only for login to the BO platform. This was a huge success.

 

Now we are struggeling with the situation:

If users try to create a new workbook from scratch and we do have more then one OLAP connection deposited within the CMC (one to productive database (BW) and one to test or quality system for example) the user have to choose which connection he wants to use and then type in his BW user + password again.

 

 

Login to System.png

 

How can we configure to login with SSO to one of those systems?

 

Actually I would suggest it to work like this:

 

When the user chooses one of those systems within Analysis for Office he or she will be connected with the OLAP Connection authentication settings. Is it set to predefined it always refers to that users connection credentials. If it is set to SSO, the system knows the user from windows active directory like the login to BO platform is working?

 

Is there a possibility to enable the Windows AD SSO for the BO Analysis Add-in too themselve too?

 

Many thanks and best regards,

Katja

Filter member

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:

1.jpg

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

Change the format of dates

Hi,

 

I'm working with analysis for excel version 1.4.10 and my question is whether it is possible to change the format of dates?

 

I mean, for example I have in my query the fiscal period, for example, 001.2015. I know it can be changed to text 'ENE 2015' but this is a string and I would like to know if it could have a date format, for example ENE-2015 (but not a char string bu date format).

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi,

 

I am trying to put together a presentation in Analysis for Power Point (Version 1.4.6.2960).

And I would like to add InfoFields for specific variables at certain spots on the slides. Apparently, I can only add one Info Field that contains all variables. There is no possibility to change the content of this InfoField. Is this correct?

Or is it possible meanwhile to access API functions like SapGetVariable within Analysis for PPT?

 

Thanks and regards,

Hierarchy authorization issue

January 15, 2015, 8:49 am

Hello,

 

I have following requirement for analysis report. Generally it considers the datasource query and the characteristic 0costcenter.

I want to restrict costcenters in the report to the specyfic levels of the specyfic hierarchies. I have created bex variable for flexible hierarchy selection and also additional variable for flexible hierarchy level selection. So when i.e. hierarchy A is selected in the first variable then in the second variable user can select specyfic levels of hierarchy A. And now I need to add authorization restrictions to the reporting process. So that when user is able to use only hierarchy A or B he should not see rest of hierarchies when he selects F4 - only A i B should be displayed. In rsecadmin I created authorization object for costcenter including the hierarchy part.

 

As hierarchy variable accepts only single value input I can't use default values or user-exit. Is there a way to filter the F4 help according to the user authorization - specified in RSECADMIN? My goal is to have a clear presentation to the user which hierarchies can he used. Maybe in the infoobject settings there is some setting relevant for my requirement?

Hello Experts,

 

I have created Analysis for Office report on BEx Query.

For user required formatting I have converted crosstab to formula excel using "convert to formula" button of Analysis.

 

Now when I saved this report on local machine, file saved as formula in each cell of excel, like "=SAPGetData("DS_1","ZZZ","YYY=XXX") "

When I am not connected to Analysis for office and open the report file on local machine then it shows #NAME in each formula cell.

 

I tried with copy entire report and paste special with values & source formatting. But in vain ..

 

Can someone please help me with information on how to save "formula analysis of office report" on local machine so that it can used offline/without connecting to analysis for office.

Applying Number Formats

Hi,

 

In the properties of crosstab in components tab, we have an option "Apply Number Formats" (need to enable registry to view this option KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\AdvancedAnalysis\Settings\NumberFormat) when we enable this option, the number formats should be applied after each navigation step. if disabled, the number formats should be set back to defaults after each navigation step. I have observed that there is no change in behavior (after refreshing or any navigation step) of number formats even when option is enabled or disabled. Observed the same behavior with "Apply Analysis Styles" as well. where default analysis styleset should be applied when refreshed.Have anyone observed this? Currently we are on Analysis for office 1.4.10.3290.

Hi everyone,

 

one question regarding BEx Analyzer and BO Analysis for Office report and settings.

 

When we are having a BEx workbook which includes aggregated keyfigure with different units we are receiving "MIX" but the value is calculated in the background and can be used for graphics etc. too :

 

BEx MIX.png

 

And we want to convert this workbook to an analysis for office workbook we do have the difference that we do not see the aggregated sum in the background anymore:

 

BO MIX.png

 

Is there any settings within BO analysis to change this handling or view, as we need this sum eventhough the business statement of this value is incorrect because of the different units.

 

Many thanks in advance,

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 8.1 64-bit, Office 2013 32-bit, SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP7 32-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:

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?

Hello Everyone,

 

In 3.X Bex Analyzer users can able to freeze the crosstab columns after refreshing the bex workbook.

 

Now we have coverted the 3.X query to 7.X query and created the AO WB.

 

Users are familier with freezing the column width in Bex and we would like to know, how this can be achieved in AO.

 

Looking forward for your inputs.

When users install a new version of Analysis for Office(AFO) they have a problem with the regular excel opening.  It does not matter which version of AFO it has happened on all installs.  The last version we just install was 1.4.10.3290

 

I was given these instructions on how to fix the problem.

 

               User should navigate to C:\users\GID\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel and delete the Excel14.xlb file.

 

My questions are:

   Why does this happen?

   What can be done to prevent this?

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
