InfoProviders/MultiProviders are missing from Search or Business Area while using Analysis Office

Dear all,

I'm facing some issues when searching for a an InfoProvider - in this case a MultiProvider - with Analysis Office (any version).

My use case is the following:

I using Analysis Office and SAP BW 7.31 and I will like to run some analysis against a specific MultiProvider. But, searching with the Search bar or inside the Business Area hierarchy, I'm not able to find it under any folder.

Here below I will show you some examples:

1. I'm searching the MultiPorvider which is starting wit "ZMH..." as marked with red here below;

2. The InfoArea which is starting with "Hig..." or Sub-InfoArea called here "Sales" are not shown in Analysis Office, "Area" tab.

To be more precise, I'm searching for this MultiProvider Analysis Office but I cannot see any trace of it. Here you can see a part of the Hierarchy, but it cannot be seen under any InfoArea Folder.

I have compared the tow different MultiProviders, one that can be found with Analysis Office, and the one that was presented here, and I cannot observe any difference.

Please note that I have the same issue with several other InfoProviders, not only the one I have shared above.

I've tested to see if I have something similar with BW 7.5 SP10 and with all the environments we have in BW 7.5 everything seems to be okay.

I'll be grateful for any idea you have!

Best Regards,

Alex

Hello,

I'm using Analysis Office 2.6 (Version 2.6.101.79403) but this issues is present under all the versions I have tested (2.4; 2.5). I don't know exactly if Analysis Office is real source of the problem but I can see the MultiProvider in cause with Lumira Discovery 2.1 for example or BEx Analyzer.

Hello Alexandru - are you using the old BEx authorization outlined in this blog https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/11/sharing-experiences-with-analysis-office-2.5-2.6-bihana2018/ as starting in 2.6 Analysis Office honors the authorization

Could you have your BW security person perform an STAUTHTRACE in the BW backend to see if it is an authorization issue?

Hello Tammy,

I have tried blog page you have shared with me here - also the note 2418359. After testing, the problem is still there.

To be much clear, my problem is not connected with the "Area" button as I've seen into your example, my problem is with the unavailability of some "Multiproviders" when searching into the hierarchy of InfoAreas BW.

Here is the messages I've got when activating STAUTHTRACE:

I have tested also in the development system -full rights- and I can see the objects I'm searching for.

So I still think that there is an Authorization problem but I'm not able to find by myself.

I'll share these informations with the Authorization team on our side.

Best Regards,

Alex

Strange, the STAUTHTRACE doesn't show anything missing too.

Yes, but I have found recently some clue in SM53. I'm not very familiar with the Authorization in BW, but I think that I'm close with my analysis.

For your information, here you have the screen-shoot of the message I have in SU53:

Yes, those look interesting and obvious authorization issues; very strange that they didn't appear in STAUTHTRACE. You are close to resolving the issue!

Dear all,

I have resolved partially my problem. In fact it was an authorization problem; actually it's still there but only for the InfoArea - which cannot be found into the hierarchy Area.

At this time I can search for my InfoProvider and I can use it without any issue.

I hope that we will find soon also the issue with the InfoArea -but it seems to be a little bit more complex than expected. I'll be back with some detailed informations around this topic.

Regards,

Alex
