Drop down boxes ok in Crystal Reports but not ok in Crystal Reports Server

$
0
0

I have the following problem with "dynamic dropdowns"

 

Initially, I have a Crystal Report (.rpt).  It has two dynamic drop downs. They work

in both Crystal Reports Designer (preview)  and Crystal Reports Server (right-click-View).

 

The first drop down is the result of a rather complex sql query. The second drop down

is a child of the first.

 

I make a small change to the sql "WHERE" clause using the Crystal Reports Designer. It works fine in preview.

I save (Enterprise mode) to Crystal Server. I use Business View Manager to configure

the _DC_n object.  (I did notice that the .._DC_n gets incremented by one.)

The _DF object seems to know about the updated sql so I do not have change it.

 

However, when I go to back to Crystal Reports Server, and right-click-View, the

"dynamic dropdown" is not working properly.  I can not make sense

of what has been retrieved.

 

Please tell me what is most likely to have gone wrong here?  The Business View Manager

seemed to knew about the sql change. But Crystal Reports Server has

not responded to the change in the same way as Crystal Reports Designer.

 

                   ...thank you, Stan

Does Promotion Management Gives You Problem?

We recently upgraded to BI 4.1 SP1 in our system and started to use "Promotion Management" to migrate reports from one environment to another. We often get "Partial Success" with a various reasons. Just doesn't seem to be very solid. When migrating from "Upgrade Management Tool" then no issues. What are your experience with Promotion Management? Any tips, tricks?

 

Example of some messages we get:

 

  • Failed to decrypt the object
  • Cannot open report document. --- Unable to load report
  • Cannot open report document. --- Cannot logon with the custom database information
  • Cannot open report document. --- Custom table prefix specified in the InfoStore does not exist

Avoid undeploy/deploy when installing Updates?

$
0
0

Hello Community,

 

when our BO environment was first set up (years ago) the option "Install Tomcat application server and automatically deploy web applications and services to it" was checked. So the bundled Tomcat was installed and everything will be automatically deployed.

 

This means with every update web applications get undeployed and then deployed. When installing several Service Packs and Patches in a row this takes so much time..

 

Is there a way to stop auto undeploy/deply and do it manually after all updates finished? I am looking for a configfile like wdeploy.conf or something else.

 

Regards,

 

Michael


Updating BO 3.1 to BO 3.1 SP??

$
0
0

I've a system which is on 3.1 and it should be upgraded to work with Win7, so SP3 is minimum to go for.

 

Question is, should we upgrade to SP3 or to SP7 or something else? (BO4.x is no option at the moment, but will probably be on next year)

Secound Questions is, how should the upgrade be done, I've read SP7 requires SP5 or 6 to be installed and I think this will continue.

Is it better to install SP7 directly on a new machine and migrate all content or is patching a fast, save way to do this?

 

Any suggestions are welcome!

 

Thanks in advance!

Audit report for User Session Count

$
0
0

Hello Experts,

 

I have created a small BOBJ audit report on top of the imported  SAP std. audit universe on the audit database. The purpose of the audit report is to find the total number of sessions Per User in a day.

 

The objects i've used in the report from the BI 4.0 Audit universe are Username,Count([Session]) In([User Name]) to find the count of sessions for user and a date prompt.

 

Below is the sequel being generated for this:

 

SELECT

  "BOE140_Audit"."dbo".ADS_EVENT.User_Name,

  "BOE140_Audit"."dbo".ADS_EVENT.Session_ID

FROM

  "BOE140_Audit"."dbo".ADS_EVENT

WHERE

  CAST( "BOE140_Audit"."dbo".ADS_EVENT.Start_Time AS DATE)  IN  ('08/13/2014 18:0:0')

 

But when i try to match this output to the values in the sessions tab in CMC, there is a mismatch and all the values from Sessions tab in CMC dont seem to appear in the audit report and the vice versa, all the users from audit report dont show up on the sessions tab in CMC and also the values dont match on the common id's showing up.

 

Below are the 2 outputs:

 

1. Audit report output:

 

Capture.JPG

 

2. CMC Sessions tab values:

Capture.JPG

 

So am i choosing the wrong fields for the audit report? What is the reason for this discrepancy?

 

Thanks and regards,

Abhishek

Auditing CMC Activity

Hello,

 

Our company is looking to find a way to audit CMC Activity to see who is doing what.  As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to do this.  However, I hope I'm wrong which is why I've posted this question here.  I'm also new to the CMC so I hope there is a solution to my question.

 

If you know one way or the other, please let me know.

 

Thank you,

BI 4.0 DR setup

$

Hi,

I am trying to build DR setup to existing Production BI 4.0 instance on Sybase/Windos 2008 platform.I read various places to backup CMS database and FRS (input and output) directories and restore same on target location.

I need clarification to following:

  1. To restore CMS database, Do i need to use database tools e.g Sql anywhere 16 or simply windows copy paste DB file from one host to other.
  2. On target host, i installed plain vanila BI 4.0 instance along with database name (BI4_CMS). So if i use restore option, Do i need to overwrite the existing database with the one from source system or create another database.

 

Thanks

Hi All,

 

I am not able to execute function with syntax select * fromtable(CSW_PACKAGE_FUNC('00000999990001357843'))

Data foundation is created on multi source connection i.e SAP ECC and Oracle .

 

while executing above sql getting below error:

 

"Error on execute:bad allocation

Error:

[] <com.businessobjects.dsl.commons.exception.NestedException: Failed to execute: WITH

"Derived Table" AS NATIVE ( "POC",

'select * from table(CSW_PACKAGE_FUNC)................................................."

Sql works fine in Derive table for a single source  connection which is oracle but gives error when connection is multi source.

 

 

Thanks in Advance.

InfoView shows 12.1.0 (which means 3.1 no SP) and SP5 is installed.

Anyone seen this issue bevor?

Does it only show the wrong version or do you think there might be something wrong with the webdeployment?

 

Last server reboot was some days ago, on the first look everything looks fine, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Versions, warfiles, everythins seems to be from the date SP5 was installed.

 

The main issus is webi:

The propertytab is empty if I open it with the new Win7.

SP5 can be used with Win 7.

 

Thanks in advance

Jens
