unable to open Project management reports

[Former Member]

Hi,

I tried to access Reports under Project management, I can see some list of reports but whenever i click any report i get this message " Do you want to save this file or find a program online to open it , Name : BExab6f08f3 , type : unknown , from: xxxxxx " . I get this whenever i try to access any reports in project management.

I had checked few things from my side, /BCV/Main is activated, I have BCV_admin role and also CPR_BCV_USER role, but still i am not able to view a single report. I tried accessing from NWBC desktop GUI and web gui, same error. Please guide me in solving this problem.

Hi,

Sounds like a configuration issue.

The following SAP Notes should help 944221, 894009, 736902.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I just have some clarifications, is it necessary to have BI system to access the Reports under Project management / portfolio management?, Or can it be accessed without any BI system?. I found that whenever I run any report under Reports section it tries to execute the RFC SAP_BW, but in my system there is no data available in that RFC, since we dont have BI.please let me know about this.

For reports under Reports section, you need to have SAP BW system. PPM refers to SAP BW for all the standard reports under Reports section.
