Automatic refresh of workbooks not working when opened from SAP GUI

617 Views

Hi experts,

I will appreciate your help with this issue:

We have recently performed the technical upgrade from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0. We are in SAPKW70015 on the server side. SAP GUI 710 Patch Level 4 and Front End Business Explorer Patch Level 2.

Since we are not in Portal yet and BEx Browser is not an option anymore, we will provide access to workbooks through SAP User Menu.

All our workbooks were migrated and we activated in all of them the properties “Refresh workbook on Open” and “Process Variables on Refresh” in the workbook settings.

If we open any workbook directly from the BEx Analyzer everything works as expected. The variable screen appears and the data is refreshed. The “Refresh” option is active.

It is not the case when we open any workbook from the SAP GUI user menu or from transaction RRMXP. In this case the variable screen appears but the data is not updated. The option “Refresh” is not automatically active and only if we press the “Refresh” button we get the data updated.

We don't want our users having to do this additional click to get the data refreshed. How can we ensure the refreshing of data when workbooks are called from SAP GUI (user menu or transaction RRMXP)?
