Regarding SAP Social Media Analytics

$

Hi,

 

We are planning to use social media Analytics.

 

As of my knowledge using SAP Data Services & SAP HANA  to extract the social media data. These two tools extract the data and load into the data warehouse.

 

But we need direct Analytics without data warehouse.

 

I have searched in the SAP forums and I found a product called   SAP Social Media Analytics by Netbase.

 

Still this product is available or not?

 

How can I extract the social media data and directly feed to the BI tools without using Data warehouse layer using SAP products.

 

Please suggest me which product supports Social Media Analytics

 

Thanks & Regards,

Is it possible to install BO 4.1 SP6 with Microsoft IIS 7.x

Is it possible to install and run BO 4.1 SP6 with Microsoft IIS 7.x? I know Tomcat is bundled with BO and my employer doesn’t want to use it, WACS or any other web server besides IIS. Has anybody been able to install BO 4.1 just on IIS (custom jobs as well)? The PAM states that BO 4.1 can utilize IIS only for Microsoft SharePoint (IOMS) . Thanks!

SAP BO 4.1 SSO on Linux

$
0
0

Hi,

 

we have a SAP BO 4.1 SP5 Patch 7 system on Linux Redhat. The BO database which is used is SQLAnywhere.

The users are now connected through our SAP BW backend. (SAP Authentication)

 

The customer has come up with a new demand. The BI Launchpad has to become Single Sign On for their users.

So the BO frontend (bi launchpad) has to become SSO . (Preferable with Window AD users)

 

Normally with BO on a Windows server this shouldn't be that difficult, but on Linux it is something different.

We found SAP note 1965433 to be a solution. But ... SAP is not really supporting this option. It states that all support will be best effort , And if you read between the lines it just says :"we don't support this at all!" .

 

So , we can go ahead with this "unsupported" option, but we also have SAP Netweaver Single Sign 2.0 setup in our landscape.

This also should work,but we can't find any information or instructions on how to set this up correctly.

 

The question is, what option is best? Should we go ahead with the note which is "unsupported", or can we use our Netweaver SSO 2.0 solution for this? And if so , where can we find the right information?

 

thanks.

 

with best regards

change hostname in document link

Hello,

 

We are on BI 4.1 SP1 on Win2008R2.

We moved from hosta to hostb.

 

In BI LaunchPad, when I right click the report and choose "Document Link" it open a link.

I still see the old hostname, which is hosta.

 

How can I change it. There must some global setting so all link picks up new hostname.

 

Please advice if anyone has come across this issue.

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Appreciate if any one can advise me on these promotion management issues .


Brief about the system architecture and landscape:

  • I am using promotion management form the detestation system.
  • This is fresh new servers of SAP BI 4.1 SP06.
  • We are using distributed system where with one server for application server another server as web server (tomcat) with webtier.
  • Dev and production system are in different network.
  • We do no have QA system.
  • Issue #1:Creating job in destination system --> Trying to connect source system (Development) with Hostname:6400, Administrator and password. Then I am getting below error

            source sys conn issues in prom mang.png
         Resolution Steps taken so far and Questions:

    • We already opened port in firewall request. We are able to telent <hostanme of dev> 6400 successfully.
    • Tried to login source system using Hostname, cluster name and ip address.
    • Tried login CMC in prodcution with hostname and Ip address.
    • Do I need to apply SAP note 1628154? I see this note talking about Dev to QA with in the same network, Prod different network and LCA as centralized system. But our Dev and prod are in different network.


 

  • Issue #2:No "Save", "Promote","Schedule" buttons when importing lcmbiar file.
    • lcmbiar.png
    • Resolution Steps taken so far and Questions:
      • Exported required objects from Dev system in the format of LCMBIAR file. Then created job by importing LCMBIAR file.
      • Now when I tried to promote job the Save, Promote and schedule buttons are not appearing.
      • As per SAP note #1941033. I have tried to login CMC in destination system with hostname and IP address rather than cluster name. Also tried to login destination with hostname and ip address during the promote the job.
      • We are able to see promote button in the source system (Dev).

WEBI Process Servers Failing.

$
0
0


Hope this is the correct location to post a questions. Enterprise 4.1SP05FP03 on Win Server 2012 R2. I have split out all of my platform servers identically to the servers on another Enterprise 4.1SP05FP03 system that I use on a very similar machine hardware wise that is running Win 2008 R2. The older system running on the 2008R2 machine runs perfectly with no issues. My new machine that is identically configured is experiencing some troublesome issues with the WEBI Proc Servers.

 

I have 4 WEBI Process Servers and for some reason, they keep timing out and restarting. They slowly consume memory until the Memory Upper Threshold is approached then stop accepting requests which is expected behavior. I realize that this is expected behavior but they do not hand off process to other WEBI Proc Servers so the instances are left for dead and fail. Reports fail with "Server Busy" errors. Why would this happen when I have 4 WEBI Proc servers? Shouldn't the other servers take over when one is restarting! The servers will hit the Memory Upper limit of approximately 4.5gig in a relatively short time, within a couple of hours after restarting then the entire scenario happens again. On my older system, the Webi Proc Servers never reach the Memory Limits and always hover around 2.2 to 2.5 Gig of memory so consequently they never restart or present any problems for that matter. Again, all the servers on the newer system are configured identically from server setting to command line script with memory settings.

 

Oh yes, one more thing... Tomcat is configured identically between the two machines as well!

 

I have no clue were to start!

 

Thank you in advance.

DST Issue?

$

0

Environment: BI 4.1 SP06 patch 3

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Clustered environment with 2 CMS and 2 Web servers

SQL Server 2012

Webi reports

 

Issue: while creating a new schedule when we select the date parameters and apply the dates after clicking on apply the dates are getting changed.

 

Example: In one report I started creating new schedule and click on parameters and selected following dates as start and end date.

Start Date 11/01/2015 12:00:00 AM End Date 11/30/2015 12:00:00 AM

Once click on apply, the parameters show dates as below. (This is for server in CST timezone)

Start Date    10/31/2015 7:00:00 PM  End Date    11/29/2015 6:00:00 PM

And for servers in PST time zone the times are getting changed as below.

Start Date    10/31/2015 5:00:00 PM  End Date    11/29/2015 4:00:00 PM

 

Our Dev server is in CST time zone and TEST and PROD is in PST timezone.

 

I am wondering if its a DST related issue as the users started reporting this issue today only, tried rebooting the servers but didn't help.

 

Have raised an incident with SAP waiting for their response.

 

FYI, no issues with report refresh.

Can't connect to Crystal Server CMS

$

Hi

 

We have a copy of Crystal Server 11.5 running on Server 2003 which runs automated reports for a legacy CRM system.  It has been in place many, many years and has never had a problem.

 

However we are not able to connect to the CMS at the moment (directly on the server or remotely) - we get a transport error as per the screenshot attached.

 

There are also warnings in the Windows Application Event Log which say:

 

"Failed to commit the collection to the CMS"

"Transport error: No response from server, timeout exceeded"

 

And there are errors which say:

"Failed to register with the CMS Vm32.  Please make sure the CMS is up and running.  Attempting and

 

VM32 is the name of the server.

 

I have done some Googling and the answer seems to be a problem with a firewall, however this server does not have a firewall and never has.

 

I'm not at all experienced with this product and can't think of any recent changes to the server that may have caused this.

 

Any ideas?

 

Many thanks

Webi Processing Server crashing/restarting

$

BI 4.1, SP1, Patch 2 (Windows/Tomcat)

 

Running into intermittent error messages of the ERR_WIS_30270 variety when using Webi, and eventually WIReportServer.exe on the app server crashes and restarts. (This causes additional problems on the client PC when the "auto-save" timeout ends and the user's browser tries to save the report [fail] hundreds of times per minute.)

 

So far have tried, none have worked:

Setting all servers to run on static ports

Creating a second Webi APS (both running, for redundancy)

Creating a second Webintelligenceprocessingserver (same)

Adjusting Xms, XmX, and MaxPermSize parameters on Webi APS

Adjusting JTCss size on Webintelligenceprocessingserver

Unchecking "Use LOV Cache" on the Webintelligenceprocessingserver

Creating a duplicate SIA with all new servers and running from those

 

Occurs with small or large reports. Does not matter whether they were migrated from XI3.1 or created new in 4.1. Also does not matter whether I am running reports via the web or in the Rich Client, I see the same behavior. And occasionally, the Rich Client will crash on my local PC.

 

I have an open support case and have searched and read through every pertinent article I could find, but have not seen anything that matches these symptoms yet.

 

Has anyone else had similar trouble? Is there anything else I can try (aside from hoping newer patches will work)?

WIS 30951 Doc can't be retrieved from FRS

$

We're getting the following error when we try to open some but not all Web Intelligence documents:

 

The document can't be retrieved from the File Repository Server.  (WIS 30951)

 

Specifically, we get this error for approximately 500 documents that were created or last modified (or both) on April 29 or April 30.  There are other documents created or last modified at that time that are fine.  We also get the error for approximately 400 documents that were created and last modified on Feb. 27, 2012.  Again, other documents created and modified on that date are fine.

 

The CMC shows the documents and has the FRS filename and path, but the file isn't in that path in the FRS; even the directory that the file should be in doesn't exist.

 

We could restore the documents from a back-up.  But this has happened twice this year, and also happened in previous years.  I need to find out why this is happening and prevent it from happening again.

 

Any suggestions?  We're currently running XI 3.1 SP 5 and in February we were running XI 3.1 FP 3.1.

SSO on WinAD not working with full name

Hi,

 

I've successfully configured the SSO on a new BI4.1 SP6.3, but it works only with the hostname (eg http://boxi:8080/BOE/BI ), not with the FQDN (http://boxi.domain.fr:8080/BOE/BI ), not with an alias on the server ( http://alias.otherdomain.priv:8080/BOE/BI), and not with the IP.

 

Is it supposed to work, is there a hope, am I missing some configuration? Putting the FQDN in the trusted zone in IE does not work.

 

We hope to make it work with IE and Firefox...

 

Any idea? Thanks!

 

I've setup the setspn this way:

 

setspn -a BOEXI40SIABOXI/adminbo.domain.fr adminbo
setspn -a HTTP/boxi adminbo
setspn -a HTTP/10.1.2.3 adminbo
setspn -a HTTP/boxi.domain.fr adminbo

setspn -a HTTP/alias.otherdomain.priv adminbo

 

 

Config : BI 4.1 SP6.3

Dear Experts,

 

During BOBJ 4.1 SP06 Installation, I am trying to create new data source (ODBC) for the step "Configure CMS Repository Database - SQL Server (ODBC)" by following the path Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC). But, I get the error "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" (see attached screenshot).

 

Am I missing anything? Do I don't have full authorizations?

 

Any ideas, please?

 

Thanks  & best regards,

Sreenu
