Re: Messages missing in BI IP planning functions using SAP BusinessObjects Analysis

Hello Dmitry,

note https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0001911177 describes a fix that is available with Analysis Office 1.4 SP 4.

In addition I add a VBA sample where that error handling is described:

' defined in a module
Public Function Callback_BeforePlanDataSave() As Boolean

     ExecPF ("PlanFunctionX")

End Function

Function ExecPF(PF_Alias As String) As Boolean
    Dim lastError As Variant
    Dim PFExecSuccesful As Boolean
    Dim MessageLogWithErrors As Boolean
          
    ExecPF = False
    PFExecSuccesful = Application.Run("SAPExecutePlanningFunction", "PF_1")
   
    If PFExecSuccesful = False Then
        Call SAPGetPropertyLastError
        Exit Function
    End If
       
    Dim listOfErrorMsgs As Variant
    listOfErrorMsgs = Application.Run("SAPListOfMessages", "ERROR")
   
    If IsError(listOfErrorMsgs) Then
        Call SAPGetPropertyLastError
        Exit Function
    End If

     If IsArray(listOfErrorMsgs) Then
        If UBound(listOfErrorMsgs) > 0 Then
            ' access last error
            Call SAPGetPropertyLastError
            Exit Function
        End If
    End If

    ExecPF = True
End Function

Sub SAPGetPropertyLastError()
    Dim lastError
    lastError = Application.Run("SAPGetProperty", "LastError")
    If lastError(1) <> 0 Then
        MsgBox (lastError(2))
    Else
        MsgBox ("No further information available")
    End If
End Sub

hope this helps, karim
