Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the conflict between .bex file extension handling by wbklnch.exe and BExAnalyzer.exe, relevant to SAP Gui for BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 AddOns. Depending on their installation order, file extension association errors may occur, affecting the launch of transaction RRMx. The resolution involves a frontend patch to differentiate .bex (linked to wbklnch.exe) from .7xbex (linked to BExAnalyzer.exe). Additionally, backend corrections enable this mapping through SAP BW Support Packages or ad-hoc note corrections. Users should monitor updates via SAP notes for the release and availability of necessary patches and packages.
