Step By Step Process to Run BEX

Report in Background

Applies to:
SAP BW 3.x.

Summary
This paper describes step by step process of implementing of a generic tool
and how to run BEX query in background using that tool. It is accomplished
through a Custom ABAP Program, which can be used to run any BEX query

Step By Step Process to Run BEX Report in Background

Requirement
BEX Query Analyzer is the tool used to analyze ad hoc query results in MS
Excel. BEX Query Analyzer can be used to run ad hoc queries and open BEX
Query Designer to create and modify ad hoc queries. BEX Query Analyzer
opens in MS Excel and provides its own toolbar and Business Explorer menu
to perform query analysis.
Proposed Tool can be used in below situation: Those environments, where Excel 2003 or below is installed for BEX
reporting, which is having a limitation to display only 65 K rows.
Run a BEX-Query in Batch-Mode (periodically and automatically) and
download output in a directory, which can be read form another system.
If the query is performed on detail level data and no further drill down is
required on the output. Only Static information is required.
As an alternate of Open Hub.
If the query gives shortage of memory dump or exceeding the time limit
dump due to high volume of data.

How BEX Query Run in Foreground

Run Tcode RRMX and click on open button. Click on query menu and select
the query you want to run

The program ZBWR_BEX_QUERY can be used to run any BEX query as a

background job. User will be able to run the query on predefined selection
values which are saved as a query variant.

Step by step process

Step 1: Run BEX Query
Run Tcode RRMX and click on open button. It will be found on the Business
Explorer toolbar. Click on query and select the query you want to run

Step 2: Give the value in Selection screen

Give the value in the selection fields in input screen

Step 3: Save the Variant
