Doubts about named user license in CMC.

Hi Gurus,

 

I'm kinda new to this issue, our client has a named license for only eight users, while testing we realized that a user can logon several times with the same user name in different computers. My questions are, What would be the potential costs that this may entail?, why can I logon several times with the same user?, Is there a way to logon on a computer ending the same user logged on another computer? I have read different posts but I can't find answers to these questions.

 

thanks in advance.

Issue with Analysis Connection

Hi to all! I have installed BoBj 4.1 edge edition.

 

When I try to open OLAP connection in CMC I receive the following error:

 

 

Analysis, edition for OLAP encountered an unexpected exception at 18:14 that has caused it to close.

 

The following reasons may have caused the unexpected exception:

  • Analysis, edition for OLAP has timed out. Your workspace may have been automatically saved to your Favorites folder as an "autosave" file.
  • A fatal exception has occurred. Log on again to Analysis, edition for OLAP.

 

 

If you repeatedly see this error, contact your administrator.


Have anyone experience the same problem? All BI platform servers are running properly.

SSO (trusted authentification?) not working after update SAP BO 4.0 to SAP BO 4.1

Dear experts,

 

After update SAP BO 4.0 SP05 to SAP BO 4.1 SP04 we have the problem with SSO to http://<boserver>/BOE/BI.

 

Our environment:

SAP BO 4.1 running on AIX 6.1, integrated Tomcat7, one server (no cluster)

 

In fact, tomcat is able to communicate with AD, in debug mode I see

[DEBUG] Mon Aug 04 14:57:23 CEST 2014 jcsi.kerberos: ** credentials obtained .. ** messages.

 

BUT after starting http://bodev.vse.sk/BOE/BI logon page to BI launchpad is comming, no SSO action.

 

Our custom properties files:

 

global.properties

sso.enabled=true

trusted.auth.user.retrieval=REMOTE_USER

siteminder.enabled=false

vintela.enabled=true

idm.realm=AD.VSE.SK

idm.princ=krbbod

idm.allowS4U=true

idm.allowUnsecured=true

idm.allowNTLM=false

idm.logger.name=simple

idm.logger.props=error-log.properties

idm.keytab=/home/bodadm/keytab/krbbod.keytab

 

BIlaunchpad.properties

authentication.visible=true

cms.visible=true

sso.types.and.order=vintela

(last line I added after reading some discussions, but it didn't solve the problem)

 

After update I've generated the new TrustedPrincipal.conf and saved it into /usr/sap/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/aix_rs6000 (also using -Dbobj.trustedauth.home=/usr/sap/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/aix_rs6000 in JAVA_OPTS), but it didn't help.

 

Before update to 4.1, SSO was working without problems.

 

Can you help me?

How can I be sure, that tomcat is passing the correct username and using the shared secret from TrustedPrincipal.conf when logging to CMS? Is it possible to debug it?

 

Best regards,

Slavomir Kysel

Hi All

 

A penetration test of our Environment BI4.1 SP3/Tomcat 7 has highlighted a CSS vulnerability in WEBI can anyone point me in the right direction for a patch the only thing I can find is note 1931399 but that seem to refer to BI4.0 SP1 and 2

 

The same test also highlighted issues with

 

verbose error messages (full stack traces in webi ) - can these be suppressed?

BIAREngine Tool for Backup in BI41

Hello All,

 

I understand that SAP doesn't recommend using Promotion Management for taking backups of hugh BOE systems (with more than 10000 objects). In such scenario's, SAP recommends using the BIAREngine mechanism.

 

However, I have not been able to find much on this topic for BI41 environment. There is not much of information available for the same in the BI41 Admin guide. Request if someone could help me with relevant resources (docs, links, guides etc.) for creating a robust backup strategy in BI41 env.

 

Thanks & Regards,

BOBJ Audit Database

Hello,

 

We are attempting to write a report to determine which of our BOBJ objects are being accessed and how often (and by whom).  This questions centers around the MS SQL audit database.  I am curious if anyone has any experience reporting against it or could provide any artifacts that would help me understand the meaning of certain fields.  I have had some success getting the results I am looking for, but I am not confident that we should be making decisions off of them because I don't fully trust my filter selections. Any help or direction that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Team  ,

 

We are observing old files in the audit folder in  in our multimode  clustered SAP BO 4.0 installation. Files automatically appeared of their own with old date time stamp. Few days ago we have set the retention period of Audit DB  to delete the old Audit DB. Could it be related to this.

What needs to be checked.

BI Launchpad, CMC, BOBJs, Dashboards info needed please.

Hello All,

 

There are some many parts and pieces of SAP and BOBJs, I am confused.

 

Out of CMC, BI Launchpad, Netweaver Business Client, Dashboards, etc. I am not sure which ones will handle what I am looking to achieve.

 

What I think I want is to have only a few people on the CMC to create and add the crystal reports and then schedule them and only these few people could mess with them, but using another piece allow many others to view the reports in one location based off of their roles or hierarchy. What I am seeing is that to do this with CMC and Launchpad we have to have licenses for a lot people. Do any of these programs listed in the above act as the equivalent of Adobe Acrobat Reader vs Acrobat Pro. I want some to be able to create and make changes, (Acrobat Pro) and some to only get the info passed to them, (Adobe Acrobat Reader).

 

Please any advice would be great on how to handle this!


Regards,

Erin

BO XI 4.0: Logon to CMC is not possible after installation.

Hi,

 

We have recently installed BO XI 4.0 and the installation went fine. However after the installation process was finished, it is not possible to logon to the CMC due to the following error:

 

"Error: Server XXXXX:6430 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null"

 

In the CCM are the following services registered:

Apache Tomcat 6.0.24                                                                RUNNING

BW Publisher Service_BOE140BWPublisher                              NOT RUNNING

SAP BusinessObjects Mobile Authentication Server                  NOT RUNNING

SAP BusinessObjects Mobile Processing Service                      NOT RUNNING

World Wide Web Publishing Service                                            RUNNING

 

The non-running services can not be started, they only run for a second and then stops. I have tried to restart the server and to change user acount for the services, however it does not affect the problem.

 

In the MS SQL Server Configuration Manager, all services are running except:

SQL Server Agent (BOE140)

 

And this service will not start either, the error message generated is:

 

"The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details."

 

But there are no error message in the event log and I have not found any other errors either. I have also tried to change the user account for this service, however it will not let me to do that.

 

What could be the problem in this case? Please help us out.

BO4 Promotion Management of reports

August 6, 2014, 7:20 am

Hi,

 

We plan on doing the following.

 

1) On development/test server creating reports against universe

 

2)  Promoting these reports (not the universe) to the live system as we won't want to overwrite the live universe.

 

Using bo4 sp08 - assume no problem promoting reports just between development and live system - universe same name and objects but don't want to overwrite the live universe so assume no need to migrate objects the reports depend on ( i.e. the universe).

 

Is this understanding correct?

 

Thanks

NeedOfContexts error message?

March 18, 2014, 1:30 pm

I am struggling to define the details of the issue I am having.  I'll try; maybe I can add more details soon.

 

First of all, we were running 4.1 SP01 Patch 2.  On March 7, 2014 I upgraded our environment to 4.1 SP01 Patch 6.  Things seem to be working fine, but there is no way I can run every single report in our system.  So I cannot say for sure if the problem we are having now was happening immediately after the upgrade or not.  I do know it was not happening before the upgrade.

 

Just yesterday a user reported getting the following error...

 

 

This report isn't used regularly, so I believe this was probably the first attempt to run it since the upgrade.  This report is built on a UNX universe on top of a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.

 

Now for more background information which may or may not be pertinent.  There are 8 other reports that are based on this same universe.  Only one other report is having issues (same errors).  The thing that the two reports having issues have in common is that they both prompt for a context.  That isn't all that surprising given the error messages.  However, Google and SAP xSearch yield exactly zero results.  Well, I am about to change that with this post.

 

The user that was getting this issue also has the Rich Desktop Client installed.  She tried to run the problematic report there and got the same error.  I received the same error when running the report through the browser, but not in Rich Desktop Client on my machine.  However, I have not had the opportunity to update the client tools on my machine to 4.1 SP01 Patch 6, but my user that reported the issue has upgraded.  So all of that together makes me suspicious that the upgrade is the issue.

 

We cannot go back.  We need a work around.  Perhaps I need to update my client tools and rebuild and redeploy the universe.

 

Has anyone else seen this?  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Noel
