Business Objetcs & DRP

$
0
0

Hello experts,

 

I am currently working on the architecture design of an application using SAP BI4 and I am facing an issue with the DRP.

 

I have two datacenters which are separated (no SAN replication between the two sites, different IP ranges on each site, etc.). The only link between my datacenters allows me to do LAN replication (dataguard, rsync, etc.).

In case I lose my first datacenter, my application must be restored on my secondary site within a day (or less...).

 

So, in the first place I had thought of the following architecture :

On the first site, one "active" virtual machine (with Apache, SAP BI4 and Oracle as RDBMS).

On the second site, another "passive" virtual machine (same components)

Between the two : Database and file replication

 

But, a SAP consultor that I met told me that it wouldn't work because of an issue on BO. According to him, when you install BO, the software stores informations about the machine that runs the CMS (such as hostname or IP) in the CMS system databse.

So if you synchronize your database on another machine, you put informations about machine A on the machine B... And then it doesn't work !

Have you ever heard anything about that issue ?

If it is true, backup/restore from one server to another shouldn't work either, should they ? So how would the data loss be secured ?

 

Anyway, I am very worried about this issue so if you have any idea about how to implement a DRP solution don't hesitate :-)

For about a second, I thought of creating a BO cluster between my two sites but I believe that such a cluster wouldn't be technically possible...

 

Thanks for your help,

Best regards,

Sessions remaining active in CMC

$

Hi

We are using  WebIntelligent and Explorer in BI 4.0. We have a combination of named and concurred users licenses and we use AD single sign on to log into both clients. Some users also have Enterprise alias to log in, as for example the administrators of the system.

 

Another thing to notice is that when we are working with Web Intelligent it tells us that the session has time out as I would normally expect.  However, although we have a timeout set up for when working with Web Intelligent,  I have noticed that the sessions remain in the system after the user stop using it. It happens with both Enterprise and AD log in.

 

1) With Enterprise: I have included an attachment. This is my user and I am an administrator of the system, I appear with 5 sessions although I am only log in once. In this case, the log in is using Enterprise authentication.

 

2) If I log in with SSO AD and close the windows without log out, and then log in again, the first session remains in the system for a long time.

 

I have seen the option "Windows SSPI Configuration"

 

Could you please let me know which parameters do we have to change?

 

Thanks in advance,

Branding and Theming of BI launch pad

Hi All

 

I tried to change the theme of my BI Launch pad following Tutorial:Branding and Theming of BI launch pad

(http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog/2013/06/01/tutorial-branding-and-theming-of-bi-launch-pad)

 

Version: SAP BO SP4 14.0.4.738

Tomcat6

 

I changed the following colors

---------------------------------------------------------------------

/*=== (1) BI Launchpad login page ===*/

 

/* (1.1) customize background color and border of authentication fields container */

div.logon_table {

    background-color: #0B64A0 !important;

    border: 2px solid #F1B563 !important;

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I had no webpath.InfoViewBranding under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins. So I created a folder named 'webpath.InfoViewBranding' and then copied folders from template.zip.

So now my folder paths are

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoViewBranding\web\css\cutomize.css

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoViewBranding\web\images\theme\

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoViewBranding\web\images\favicon.ico

 

What else to be done from the tutorial?

 

It is said in the tutorial that

" The Tomcat work directory is not permanent and your temporary changes are deleted after a Tomcat restart."

Does it mean that after restart, the folders I created will be deleted?

 

Please help me...

 

Thanks

RWI 00313 Error When Using QaaWS from Webi in a Dashboard

$

Hello All,

 

I have been experiencing a consistant RWI 00313 error when I try to preview a Dashboard that is using multiple 'Query as a Web Service' calls from a single Web Intelligence document. The error states: "There was an error retrieving the document from the token storage".

From the little bit of help I have found by searching, I believe it may have to do with the fact that there are multiple calls to the same document. However, I know that this should be an ability of QaaWS... thus the head scratching. 

 

 

Some details: The Dashboard is set to refresh the QaaWS on open and I am on BO4 SP6.

 

Thank you ahead of time for your help and expertise!
