0
0

Hello,

 

I am hoping someone can provide some help here. If we develop a unx via client tool set in windows and use an ODBC connection direct to SQL databases. When we publish to our server which is on AIX, what do we need to configure on the server end?

 

regards

Need help on Universe promoting steps

0
0

Hi All,

I am serching for best practises to promote universe from one environment to another.

We have BO XI 3.1 Dev & Prod environment.

There are lots of changes in Dev environment Universe that we don't want to productionise.

So whenever we want to productionise some of the changes in dev universe, we are just making those changes in Prod environment universe.
(i.e. not promoting universe to prod)

Is this good practice ? Will it cause any problem in future ?

Please help.

Regards,
Vishal

How migrate universe to additional environments?

0
0

I'm working in a BusinessObjects 4.0 SP 05 Patch 9 environment. My CMC is on a Windows 2008 R2 server.

 

I'm developing universes in the Information Design Tool; these universes use connections I've set up to my RD1 (i.e., Dev) SAP environment.

 

When I'm ready to migrate a universe to my RI1 (i.e., Integ) and RP1 (i.e., Production) environments, what do I need to do to ensure that the universe can connect to SAP in those other environments? Must I create a connection to each SAP environment and (somehow) configure the migrating universe to use the connection appropriate for the particular environment?

 

(I came across a similar thread on this forum but it was for connecting to SAP BW.)

Hi,

 

We are currently using bo4 sp6.

 

Having a look at the various issues fixed in bo4 sp7 and some would be of benefit to us.

 

One looks of particular interest - ADAPT01689382

 

 

Mentions makes webi docs quicker to open.

 

Tried searching sap service marketplace for further info on this adapt.

 

Is there anywhere can find more info on this or any particular adapts?

 

Also - anybody yet using sp7 - how are you finding it compared to sp6.

 

Thanks

How to Find Unused Reports in 4.0

0
0

Hi All,

 

We are currently in the process of migrating our reports from XI R2 to 4.0.

One audit report (in crystal 2008) that I would like to have at hand is a list of reports that have not been run since a specified date. We have auditing turned on, however this will only show events that have happened. If the report has not been accessed, it will have any events in the database. The only way I can see to do this is to query both the CMS and auditing databases. Is there any other way?

 

We would also like to do something similar with users in regards to find any that have not logged on since a specified date.

 

Can anyone provide a strategy for how they handled these scenarios? It seems they are fairly common ones and I would appreciate any assistance given.

 

Thanks in advance.

XI3.1 SSO Setup Problems - Kinit Invalid Realm Error

0
0

I have been following Tim Ziemba's guide to setting up SSO however have come stuck at the step when I verify my krb5.ini file.

 

When running Kinit.exe via the command line before I even get to enter a password I get the eror 'Invalid Realm Name'. I have checked all of the parameters in the file using the set command and they match up. Furthermore I have recreated the files multiple times only to receive the same ones.

 

Im not convinced the problem resides in the file itself now as I have removed the files altogether and I still get the same error. Any help in resolving or identifying this would be very much appreciated.

WIReportServer on Windows 2008 R2 64bits

Hi,

 

We have BO XI 4 installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64bits

 

We have created multiple Web Intelligence Processing server, but is it possible for one WIReportServer.exe to use multicore CPU (so use more than one processor for the WIReportServer processus)?

 

It's take lot of time to have our report created, and the CPU is used at 100% by the WIReportServer. If we can use more CPU per exe it's should be faster.

Thanks in advance

.unv to .unx

Hi All,

 

We are planning to migrate from BOXI R3.1 to BI 4.0. I have heard that extension of Universe in BI 4.0 is .unx. Following are my question realted:

 

1- Which tool needs to be used to migrate Universe and reports from BOXI R3.1 to BI 4.0? Will it be Import Wizard?

2- If the extension of the Universe will change from .unv to .unx than all the webi reports will get manually pointed to this .unx Universe?

3- If it will not get manually pointed to .unx than do we need to manually repoint all the reports to .unx?

 

Please help me with the above answers.

 

 

Many thanks

Crystal reports 2011 connection to BO enterprise failing: 'unable to connect to CMS... logon cannot continue'

Hi All,

I'm attempting to connect to BO Enterprise (4.0) through Crystal reports 2011. I used the BO CMC server name and my username formatted in a way that works perfectly well when I'm trying to connect to BO 3.1 through Crystal 2008.

I get the following error:

'Unable to connect to CMS ... . A wrong connection is made to @@BI....(servernames in brackets). Logon cannot continue.'

Any idea what this could be? I can login to Infoview on this server successfully as well as access the CMC.

Thanks,

Jeanne

CPU based License

0
0

I have few questions about SAP BO4.0 Licensing.

We have CPU based License in our Environment. Max we can have 16 CPU’s.

Hence we have used 2 servers which each server is having 8 CPU.

Where servers are running with tomcat and all the BO services. Where all 3 tiers are in both the 2 servers.

  1. Web Tier (Tomcat)
  2. Processing tier
  3. Intelligent tier

Now I would like to remove web server (tomat) in these 2 servers and install it in the new servers.

Tomcat will be installed in 4 CPU servers.

Will the no of CPU count will be increased if we install webi tier particular on dedicated nodes.

Ex:

D1 is one server with 8 CPU ( Tomcat + Intelligence + Processing Tiers)

D2 is the second server with 8 CPU ( Tomcat + Intelligence + Processing Tiers)

Now it has reached the maximum CPU s ( max 16)

Now I would like to remove/Stop Tomcat in D1 and D2 servers and install Webi Tier(Tomcat) in D3 and D4 servers (D3,D4 are new server with 4 CPU Each)

Will the no of CPU will be increased by adding Tomcat in D3 and D4? Will it exceeds the License limit?

Could you please share your expertise on this.

End to End SSO Kerberos - LaunchPad and Database SSO

0
0

We are using BI 4.0 SP4 Patch 12. We have SSO configured and working with AD authentication and kerberos. Users can log in to LaunchPad without entering credentials and things are working as expected except for when a user attempts to "view" a report. They get the login error saying there is a problem. I have checked the settings in the Window AD authentication setup and specified to "cache security context" which is required for database sso, but it still doesn't work.

 

Then next step I tried was to create a SPN for the sql server service account and this did not work either. My question now is... does the SQL Service account have to be the same service account used for BI? I have a service account specified for SIA and a separate one for SQL Server. Do they have to be the same for end to end sso to work, where a user that is viewing a report in LaunchPad doesn't have to enter db credentials to view a report?
