BPC nw Excel vba macro security

$

Hi,

 

My environment : SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP17 / Excel 2013

 

 

We have recently changed the macro security for Excel from "Enable all

macros" to "Disable all macros with notification".

 

We can no more refresh the data from the report nor send input data to

the database : it seems like that the functions "MNU_ETOOLS_REFRESH"

and"MNU_ETOOLS_EXPANDANDREFRESH" cannot be executed (no effects at all).

 

I have tried to change the macro security option to "Disable all macros

except digitally signed macros" and the two buttons work correctly ie

we can refresh and send data again.

 

 

Also, I have found out something strange after some other tests : even if i

have defined the macro security to "Disable all macros except digitally

signed macros", only the buttons with the behind functions

"MNU_ETOOLS_REFRESH" or "MNU_ETOOLS_EXPANDANDREFRESH" work properly.

 

I meant that if i add another button with the following VBA code :

msgbox "hello"

well, it doesn't work at all unless i changed once again the macro

security to "Enable all macros (not recommended..." : then, it works

fine.

 

If we want an input schedule work properly with BPC internal functions ("MNU_ETOOLS_REFRESH"

and"MNU_ETOOLS_EXPANDANDREFRESH") and VBA code (button), is it mandatory to

define the macro security to "Enable all macros...." ?

 

Are there some other ways to workaround this issue ?

 

Thanks for your feedback.
