Hi There,
I have a strange issue: If I use a BICS Connection in my A-Office Workbook, I have to wait 10 seconds until the variable/prompt window pops up. If I use a local connection (directly to SAP NW BW), the variable popup appears after 2 seconds.
Environment:
SAP BO BI Platform 4.1 SP5 Patch 2
Analysis, Edition for MS Office 1.4 Patch 10
SAP NW 7.4
As far as I know, the workflow to refresh a query over BICS is as follows: A-Office starts a connection over HTTP(S) to a webservice (DSWSBOBJE). The Web Service connects to the CMS. The CMS creates a session for the user and get the connection information for the BICS connection and sends these information to A-Office. A-Office opens a RFC connection to SAP NW BW and requests the data based on the query. There's no more BO Server/Service involved in this process.
After I set the values for the variables, the time for the refresh is the same (using BICS or direct).
Any idea how to reduce the time to get the variable popup window?
(without the need to change the connection in all workbooks?)
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Stefan
