Hi,
Below check-list you have to follow for AA Workbook broadcasting:-
1. Refer to chapter 3.3 of Admin Guide available in http://help.sap.com/boao for the prerequisites and installation procedure of AO BIP ADDON.
2. Check all the precalculation restrictions on chapter 10.1 of the User Guide available on the link http://help.sap.com/boao;
3. Check the installation of BIP ADD-ON following the steps below:
1) Go to BOE/CMC (Central Management Console);
2) Go to Servers/Core Services/[SIA_NAME].AdaptiveJobServer;
3) Open "Properties" and check the scheduling services;
4) Is there an entry "Analysis Office Scheduling Service"?
If NO: the installation of the AO BIP ADD-ON failed. Try to install it again.
If YES: confirm that the parameter "Precalculation Server Path" is set. The parameter must be filled with the path to the precalculation
executable, for example (please adapt to your installation):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Analysis Precalculation\BiPrecalculation.exe"
4. Check the registry for the .NET version installed.
You will find the relevant information here:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework"
There will be subfolders for each installed .NET version.
It is mandatory that .NET v3.x is listed here. It is not sufficient to have .NET 2 and .NET 4 installed.
5. Check whether the issue occurs in the latest version of AO BIP ADD-ON. Refer to the SAP note 1518359 and download the latest version by
visiting the link below and following this menu path:
1) http://support.sap.com/software/patches.html
2) - Click on "Browse Download Catalog"
3) --- Analytics Solutions
4) ----- SBOP ANALYSIS MS OFFICE
5) ------- SBOP ANALYSIS MS OFFICE 1.4
6) --------- Comprised Software Component Versions
7) ----------- ANALYSIS OFFICE BIP ADD ON 1.4
8) ------------- Windows on x64 64bit
6. Confirm in Analysis for Office that the SSO between BI platform and BW system is correctly working for the workbook, following the steps
below:
1) Start Analysis for Office and use MS Excel -> File -> Analysis -> Open workbook from BI platform;
2) Log in to BI platform;
3) Open the workbook and click on “Refresh All” in Analysis ribbon;
4) No login to BW system should be necessary, workbook is refreshed;
If SSO is not set up properly you will get an additional login dialog at step #4 that prompts for BW system credentials.
** The SSO must be working in order to schedule AO workbooks.
7. Check the job in Instance Manager. If it is with status “Failed” create log files of this failed job following the steps below:
1) Go to CMC > Servers > Core Services > [SIA_NAME].AdaptiveJobServer > TraceLog Service;
2) Check if the Trace Level is set to "High";
3) If Trace Level is different than "High" please set it and restart the [SIA_NAME].AdaptiveJobServer service;
4) Reschedule the workbook that will fail;
5) Go to the logging folder of the BOE (default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI
4.0\logging);
6) Check if there is a document named "Analysis_Precalculation_[JobName]_[InstanceID].log";
7) Attach the log on the SAP incident for further analysis.
** Refer to SAP note 2110682 for the log files.
8. Variable prompt is only available from BIP 4.1 SP5 and AO BIP ADD-ON 1.4 SP10;
9. Scheduling functionality is only supported for BW data sources. Currently it is not possible to schedule workbooks that use HANA data
source;
