Problem:
TIBCO Spotfire Data Connector for SAP BW fails to load data with error "External error:Unable to read beyond the end of the stream".
Solution:
When the result of SAP BEx query or data selection from the TIBCO Spotfire Data Connection for SAP BW is more than 1 million cells, it may fail to load with below error in either of the two scenarios:
1) Using ODBO driver
2) Though SAP BAPI driver is installed, preference 'UseNativeSapFunctionsAllowingMoreThanOneMillionCells' have not been enabled from Administration Manager
Could not connect due to an unknown error. External error: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.
There are 2 options to resolve the issue:
1) Install the SAP BAPI driver (SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK). See "Installing BAPI driver" reference for more details
or
2) Set the 'UseNativeSapFunctionsAllowingMoreThanOneMillionCells' preferce to "True" using Administration Manager (TIBCO Spotfire Analyst > Tools > Administration Manager > Preferences > Select desired user group or Everyone on Left side > On Right side, Connectors > SAP BW) which will allow to load more than 1 million cells without any error.
