I am new to BPC (trying to learn!)
We have an issue publishing books to a SharePoint Portal.
I am using BPC Add-In 10.0 SP 20 Patch 2 .NET 3.50, Build 9063 installed locally.
I am using SAP BPC for Netweaver 10.1
I am publishing a Book to a single PDF containing 19 sheets.
I start up Excel (so no workbooks Open), go into EPM and Book Publication.
Select all details and set to publish to a SharePoint Team Site (defined as a mapped Network Drive)
Set to run now.
However when the publish runs the first 6-8 pages show as an error and don't create in the PDF, but then all subsequent pages do not error and appear in PDF.
Error displayed is "Error while saving the file...."
If I run this to a local (desktop) directory instead of SharePoint then all is OK - all pages created in PDF with no errors.
Distribution works OK, even to the same target directory (so I don't think the issue is a connection to SharePoint or authorisation issue)
I looked in the Log File and can see error detail:
|ERROR|BookOperation|FPMXLCClient.Books.BoopOperationProcessImpl.PublicationPrinting|p01comsc|||||9|You cannot save this workbook with the same name as another open workbook or add-in. Choose a different name, or close the other workbook or add-in before saving
This is confusing, nobody else is logged in, I don't have any other sessions logged in
When I run locally I see that Excel opens a Workbook with the name of the Publish (that I entered), and another one for the worksheet the template says to use, so 3 worksheets open until process is completed and then only left with one worksheet.
However when I run to SharePoint I see different behaviour, as each sheet fails I get a Blank Excel Workbook called "Bookn.xslx" (where n is an incremental number). This is only created where there is an error. Pages that are OK don't create additional workbooks. This is probably not a cause but thought it best to mention!
Can anyone shed some light?
I have seen on another thread a suggestion to install amyuni, but how does this help?
Have also seen a suggestion to save to .xltx rather than .xlsx but not sure if this is relevant. The underlying report on BPC is a .xlsx, but I am creating a .pdf? If this was an issue why does it fail for the first few pages and then work for the remainder of the pages?
