Hi specialists,
I read the help documents about the "pause automatic refresh" feature/switch of BEx-Analyzer 7.x
(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f1/0a5502e09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/content.htm)and either did not understand its function or my client behaves unexpected:
When I deactivate the automatic refresh, I expected that I could do several navigation-steps without the delay of data collection between the naviation steps.
What I experienced does not fit to this expectation:
I deactivated the automatic refresh and did some navigation steps:
Added char "sales-organisation" to the drill-down,
added char "customers" to the drill-down,
added char "materials" to the drill-down,
wanted to set some filters then,
wanted to refresh the query to get the data and see the drill-down according to the navigation-steps I did before.
I had to experience that adding the char "sales-organisation" to report is followed by short delay (5 secs),
while adding the customers is followed by a longer delay (30 seconds),
while adding the materials is followed by an extrem long delay (> 5 minutes).
So it seems as if the drill-down would be calculated according to every single navigation-step - but: directly after each step, instead after refreshing the report. The drill-down-result was not displayed while I did the navigation-steps.
So: Did I misunderstand the function of the "pause automatic refresh" feature?
Or does the feature not work as described? Should I open a support-request or is the experienced an absolutely normal behaviour?
Thanks for your comments in advance and:
Have a nice weekend!
