We are progressing towards purchasing Business Objects Analysis for Office and have questions concerned Named user licenses. Do we need any named user license or would the regualr user license suffice?  Also it looks like you need to purchase additional licenses for Zen or Design studio.  Has anyone else had these questions.

 

We are not a current business objects user - we are planning to use Analysis to replace Bex.

 

thanks for all responses.

Somehow I always manage to forget to check note 1518359 that provides the support stack schedule for Analysis Office. 

 

https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1518359

 

I installed one of the SP's, but I was getting frustrated that Analysis would not launch.  I uninstalled Analysis Office and still it would not work.

 

Then in Excel I went to File > Options > Add-Ins and then select Disabled Items

Analysis was Disabled by Excel, and then I selected Enable and then everything worked.

SAPExecuteCommand Refresh - ambiguous return values - Part 2

November 16, 2013, 4:53 pm
$
0
0

The SAPExecuteCommand's Refresh command has some ambiguous return values, as I've previously documented.

 

I've since discovered a further, related ambiguity regarding the QueryLastRefreshedAt property of the SAPGetSourceInfo.Analysis function.

 

As a reminder:

 

The following code will return 1 (Success), regardless of whether the DataSource (DS_1) is already refreshed:

 

Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Refresh", "DS_1")

 

The following code will return the date/time that a DataSource was last refreshed. If the Datasource has not already been refreshed, it returns Error 2042.

 

Application.Run("SAPGetSourceInfo", "DS_1", "QueryLastRefreshedAt")

 

So, what happens to the date/time after each subsequent Refresh? It remains the same as the initial refresh date/time....

 

Dim vLastRefreshed as Variant

Dim vResult as Variant

'DS_1 hasn't been refreshed, vTest will be assigned Error 2042

vLastRefreshed = Application.Run("SAPGetSourceInfo", "DS_1", "QueryLastRefreshedAt")

 

'First Refresh of DS_1, vResult will be assigned 1

vResult = Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Refresh", "DS_1")

 

vLastRefreshed will be assigned the ACTUAL Refresh Date/Time

vLastRefreshed = Application.Run("SAPGetSourceInfo", "DS_1", "QueryLastRefreshedAt")

 

'Time elapses.....


'Second Refresh of DS_1, vResult will AGAIN, be assigned 1, suggesting that a Refresh actually occurred

vResult = Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Refresh", "DS_1")

 

'vLastRefreshed will be assigned the ORIGINAL Refresh Date/Time, suggesting the most recent refresh didn't actually occur

vLastRefreshed = Application.Run("SAPGetSourceInfo", "DS_1", "QueryLastRefreshedAt")


I've experienced this behaviour under SBO 1.4 and Excel 2007, please add your experiences with other versions in the comments...

 

I'm not sure that this is the desired/expected behaviour of the function, but it's something to watch out for in your code.....

SAPExecuteCommand - Be careful with your parameters

November 16, 2013, 5:19 pm
$

The Analysis' SAPExecuteCommand function can be used to execute a variety of commands.  The function can take up to 3 parameters, depending upon the particular SAP command that you're calling. For example, Refreshing all data sources requires the function be called with 1 parameter, and hiding the Ribbon requires calling the function with 3 parameters.

 

However, the function doesn't always check your parameters for validity, and it can sometimes return 1 (Success) if you don't provide the right parameters, so a simple typo can lead to a false positive. Just one more argument for a centralised wrapper for Analysis function calls (article coming soon)

 

For example, the following function call will hide the Ribbon, as expected, and return 1 (Success).....

 

Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Hide", "TaskPane", "Analysis")

 

But the following function call with a small typo in the first parameter, will also return 1 (Success), even though "Hidd" is not a valid parameter or command... The subsequent parameters thereby have no contextual meaning, and the TaskPane will not be hidden....

 

Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Hidd", "TaskPane", "Analysis")

 

Conversely, typos made in subsequent parameters (at least for the Hide command) do return 0 (Failure), as one might expect....

 

Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Hide", "TaskPann", "Analysis")

Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Hide", "TaskPane", "Analyss")


I doubt the false positives are desired/expected behaviour, and that the function should return 0 (Failure), or possibly an error, when an invalid parameter is provided.

 

I've experienced this under SBO 1.4 and Excel 2007 - Please add details in the comments if you've seen different behaviour in other versions, or ambiguous behaviour with specific function parameters....

Exploring the Analysis functions - Part 2

November 16, 2013, 7:41 pm
$

In Part 1, I discussed how we can find the functions that are registered by Analysis, and how we can determine their return types and argument types. This article goes further and exposes how those functions are made available to Excel and to VBA.

 

We saw in the last article that an Analysis function such as SAPGetInfoLabel is actually registered as "SAPGetInfoLabel_v12", so how does Excel expose the function to the Worksheet and to VBA?

 

Remember, with an Analysis Workbook open and connected, we can call SAPGetInfoLabel in 1 of 2 ways:

 

Method 1 - From the worksheet, by entering a formula:

 

=SAPGetInfoLabel("LastRefreshedAt")

 

Method 2 - From VBA, by calling Application.Run

 

Dim vResult as Variant

vResult = Application.Run("SAPGetInfoLabel", "LastRefreshedAt")

 

So, how does Excel know that SAPGetInfoLabel should actually call the function registered as SAPGetInfoLabel_v12? The answer lies in a little known feature of Excel's Application.Run method....

 

The Application.Run method takes up to 31 Parameters, the first parameter defines the macro or function that should be run, and the optional 2nd through 31st parameters define between 1 and 30 arguments to the macro or function. When you're calling a VBA macro, you provide the name of the macro as a string, but when you're calling a function from a DLL or XLL (as we are with Analysis functions), you provide the "Register ID".

 

So if we're calling a registered DLL function, how are we able to call it with the function name, as a string, and not be forced to provide the Register ID? Herein lies the little understood aspect of registered functions.... The exposed/friendly function name is defined as a hidden Name in the Application, so when you call the function by its exposed name, Excel is resolving that name to the Register ID of the registered function. You can find out more about hidden Application level names here, but in short, we need to use the Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro Method to resolve a friendly function name to the registered function name.....

 

To continue our example of SAPGetInfoLabel.... When the Analysis Add-in is loaded, it registers the function "SAPGetInfoLabel_v12" and a "Register ID" is allocated for that function for the life of the Excel session, or until Analysis is unloaded (the Register ID will likely be different every time you load Analysis). Furthermore, a name is added to the Application's hidden names collection (not the Application.Names collection) that associates friendly function name "SAPGetInfoLabel" with the Register ID.

 

We can find the Register ID from the hidden names collection, but only by calling the Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro method with the friendly function name as the only argument, as follows:

 

Dim dblRegisterID as Double

dblRegisterID = Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro("SAPGetInfoLabel")

 

'dblRegisterID = 841089055 in my current Excel/Analysis session

 

So, now you know more than you probably need to about how Excel lets you call Analysis functions. In part 3, we'll return to a more practical application, and see how we can use this knowledge to hide or hook/enhance the Analysis functions...

↧

Exploring the Analysis functions - Part 1

November 16, 2013, 6:12 pm
$

The Analysis Add-in exposes a number of documented and undocumented functions, but how can we find out more about the functions that exist, and the arguments that they'll accept? Be warned, this gets technical.

 

Excel has, since the very early days (think Excel 4 Macros and REGISTER commands, rather than VBA Declare Functions), allowed external functions to be registered and used within Excel. The history and technical aspects of these capabilities is beyond the scope of this document, but we'll be relying on built-in VBA commands and some sparse documentation to discover more about the Analysis functions.....

 

The following procedure will output the Analysis functions and parameter signatures to the Immediate window in the VBE....

 

Sub EnumSAPFunctions()

 

  'The default path to the Analysis DLL, in Windows XP, and Analysis 1.4

  Const SBO_DLL As String = "c:\program files\sap businessobjects\analysis\BiXLLFunctions.dll"

 

  Const INDEX_DLL_PATH As Byte = 1

  Const INDEX_FUNCTION_NAME As Byte = 2

  Const INDEX_FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS As Byte = 3

 

  Dim aFunctions() As Variant

  Dim iFunctionCounter As Integer

 

  'Fetch an array of registered functions

  aFunctions = Application.RegisteredFunctions

 

  'Check we got an array

  If IsArray(aFunctions) Then

    'Loop over each function

    For iFunctionCounter = LBound(aFunctions, 1) To UBound(aFunctions, 1)

      'Check the function is from the SBO/Analysis DLL

      If StrComp(aFunctions(iFunctionCounter, INDEX_DLL_PATH), SBO_DLL, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then

        'Output the function name and the parameter/argument string

        Debug.Print aFunctions(iFunctionCounter, INDEX_FUNCTION_NAME), _

                    aFunctions(iFunctionCounter, INDEX_FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS)

      End If

    Next iFunctionCounter

  End If

 

End Sub

 

As of Analysis 1.4, this produces the following output (tidied and sorted alphabetically below, into a table, for ease of reading):

SAPSetPlanParameter_v12JC%C%UC%
SAPSetRefreshBehaviour_v12JC%C%
SAPSetVariable_v12JC%UC%C%

 

You'll notice that the function names are suffixed with "_v12" indicating that they're for use with Excel Version 12 (Excel 2007) or later (because they have argument types that are only valid in 2007 or later). You'll also notice that there are some functions that aren't mentioned in the Analysis documentation, like ApplyStyleForRanges_v12, and FormatNumberForRanges_v12.

 

The second column might seem a little more cryptic... It details the stuctures/types of the return value type, and the number and type of arguments that each function can accept. You can find more information about these argument structure codes here, but in short, "J" means the value is a signed 32-bit integer, "U" means the value can be "Values, arrays and range references" and "C%" means the argument must be a "Null-terminated Unicode wide-char string". The first structure code indicates the return type, while subsequent structure codes indicate the argument types.

 

For example, the SAPGetInfoLabel function is registered as follows: SAPGetInfoLabel_v12, UC%

 

The structure signature, "UC%C%" is interpreted as follows:

 

U - The return value will be of type "Values, arrays and range references"

C% - The first and only parameter is a "Null-terminated Unicode wide-char string"

 

See Part 2 for information on discovering more about the Analysis functions.
