Hi guys,

Just want to ask the authorization object so I can remove the AREA tab in the ANALYSIS FOR OFFICE when opening a query.

Thank you.

Hello Loed - I have a video on how to do this in this blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/11/sharing-experiences-with-analysis-office-2.5-2.6-bihana2018/ - please do a find on "authorization"

Thanks Tammy. Unfortunately we are only in SAP BW 7.5 SP level 7. I can't implement the note.

Is this the only way to achieve this requirement?

Thank you.

Hi Loed - I am traveling today; I recall you *might* be able to apply a note to use this. If you can't find it post back here tomorrow and I will try to check

Hi Tammy,

Yes your blog says I need to apply a NOTE. But the note requires to have at least SP level 8 for BW 7.5. Unfortunately we are only in SP level 7. I don't know of the impact in upgrading the SP one (1) level up.

Maybe you have another idea.

I will just wait for your reply tomorrow.

Thank you Tammy.

Unfortunately I don’t have another idea. I’ve applied BW support packs myself but I don’t want to speak for your Basis team’s workload to do it. But the only option I see is to apply the note

Hi Tammy,

Any impact when you applied the SAP note? By the way, which note did you apply? Is it the 2418359, 2419099, or 2083067?

We are on BW 7.5 SP 7 so 2419099 can't be applied in our system.

Thanks.

Hi - I don't remember the note; the blog I posted was based on a February presentation I gave. I do not recall any negative impacts from applying the SAP Note.

Hi Tammy,

When you implemented the NOTE, do you still remember if you manually CHECKED per machine the CheckInfoAreasAuthorization setting in ANALYSIS FOR OFFICE? Can it be configured for the whole company or we really need to do it per computer?

Thanks.

I'm sure I just did it on my machine

For company wide, you can set a profile - we have Citrix, and that is one option

Hi Tammy,

Just implemented the SAP NOTE 2418359. But I still can see the AREA tab in the analysis.

Any idea why?

So what I did was to implement the following notes in this order:

1668882

2418359

The note 2248091 cannot be implemented in our system so I skipped it.

After implementing the notes, I checked the ANALYSIS but the AREA is still present. I already have the S_RS_FOLD checked with TRUE before implementing the notes above.

Did I miss any step?

I also can't see the options in your video in the Analysis setting. We are using ANALYSIS 2.6.

Thanks.
