How to enable AD SSO for WACS

$

0

I'm trying to set up AD SSO for the REST API.  I've already set up SSO in BI Launch Pad, so I know the SPN is correctly configured.

 

In: java\pjs\services\RestWebService\biprws\WEB-INF\web.xml, I set:

 

      <param-name>idm.realm</param-name>

      <param-value>AD1.PROD</param-value>

 

      <param-name>idm.princ</param-name>

      <param-value>BICMS/(domain account).ad1.prod</param-value>

 

      <param-name>idm.keytab</param-name>

      <param-value></param-value>

 

I then set the password in the WACS command line parameters:  -Dcom.wedgetail.idm.sso.password=(password for domain account).

 

After restarting the WACS, I get a ton of errors, and it's left in "Running with errors" status.  These seem the most relevant:

 

SEVERE: Exception starting filter WrappedResponseAuthFilter

increase thread in tomcat 7

Hi,

 

We have BI 4.1 SP1 in Win 2008.

I was going through a link -

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-52399

 

It suggest to increase a thread (MaxThreads), which might apply to me. I am still investigating it though.

My question is, it appeasr twice in the file server.xml.

 

One is - "maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="4"/>"

Second is - "maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true""

 

Which part needs to be changed? We do not have SSL. I also think that i need to uncomment the section rather than just line.

 

Another questionis that is it the same which cane be monitored using Tomcat Administration web link e.g hostname:8080.

 

Please advice.

Thank you.

AO - https Web Serice URL

Hello,

I have ssl configured in Tomcat with no issues. For Analysis for Office connecting to BOBJ we have issues with https web service URL.

 

AO web service url has no issues with http.

http://myserver.mycompany.com:8080/dswsbobje/services/Session

 

AO web service URL with https gives "Error while checking availability of SAP..."

https://myserver.mycompany.com:8143/dswsbobje/services/Session

 

Both URLs work in browser and I'm able to test services. I found note 1812984 - SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.0
Client Tools on https not working
that mentions maintaining param in axis2.xml which I have done below. Still we receive same error with https url. Any ideas on what else to check?

 

    <transportReceiver name="http" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServletListener">

      <parameter name="port">8080</parameter>

    </transportReceiver>

    <transportReceiver name="https" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServletListener">

      <parameter name="port">8143</parameter>

    </transportReceiver>

 

Thanks!

Display of daterange parameter returns an error on BOXI 3.1 R3 Server, but works in Crystal developer 2008

Hi

i have report with a suppresed group header.

That group header shows the date range of the entered date range parameter  (minimum(?date_range) and maximum(?date:range))

 

When we drill down everything is fine in the crystal developer (version 2008) when we schedule the report on our Business Objects Server (Veersion XI R3) we get an error :

Error in File <Report_name>: Error in formula Display Date Maximum: '//Shows the Maximum date range selected ' Parameter has no value. Details: errorKind


Looks like the parameter is not passed to the group header ?


Can aynone help on that?

Setting trusted authentication for BI4.1

Hello Everyone,

I'm configuring SSO using trusted auth between SAP Portal and BO, to recall an Iview ( OpenDocument ) without to be prompted for insert user and pass.

 

I followed the BI Administration guide applying corrections suggested into SAPNote 2075905, but mechanism still not works!

 

Is unclear and not properly documented if I have to modify and how, the web.xml under infoview or opendocument folder as I read in some thread.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

Connection Server keeps restarting, InfoView hangs

$

We have been running  BO XI 3.1 SP6 on Windows 2008 server using IIS/WACS smoothly for a couple of months.  Now, users and administrator have issues with InfoView hanging (i.e. no folders/objects showing on InfoView when login; cannot create a new report as list of Universes don't materialize).  When we look at the connection server, we see that it has restarted itself.

 

The only difference has been some customized .ASP pages deployed that host a port that provides acces to Xcelsius dashboards.  Some errors in Windows/IIS/BO logs are below.  I couldn't find a SAP note that detailed the reasons why the connection server would restart and was wondering if anybody knows if there is a link between the below errors and this connection issue or if there is a guide for all connection server restart causes. Thanks.

Hi,

I have created a webi report based on a multisource universe with connection SAP ERP 6  JCo where my data source an infoset. When I first created the report I filtered in the webi query with a constant it worked fine. Then I turned it in to prompt where it started giving this error. When I try running the query even without prompt it still gives me he same error.

The infoset set generates the data perfectly good,same for the information design tool where i tested the query in business layer with the prompt and it also worked.

The version I am working on is 4.0 support package 4.

I searched but I didn't find anything related to such an error.

BOXI XI 3.1 - Viewing Existing Definition Links In Desktop Intelligence Reports

$

Hello,

 

As an Administrator, it has not been part of my role to create BusinessObjects Universes or reports. However with trying to organise an upgrade from 3.1 to 4.1, we need to get away from using Desktop Intelligence.

 

There are many Desktop Intelligence reports on our network drives, that I want to convert to Web Intelligence using the Report Conversion Tool. I have read that any existing object definition links need to be unlinked before conversion, if someone could please confirm this. If I do need to unlink all of the objects in a Desktop Intelligence report, how I can confirm what they are currently linked to, so I can relink them again after conversion ?

Migration of SAP BI 4.1 platform from Linux to Windows

$

Hi guys,

 

Hope you can shed some light on this topic.

 

We have a client with an implementation of SAP BI 4.1 platform which is deployed on Red Hat Linux.

 

They want to move away from Linux and deploy it on Windows Server.

 

I would like to understand if the process of content migration from Linux is any different from the process of migration from Windows.

 

Can the content migration be done by simply running Upgrade Management Tool from within new deployment of SAP BI 4.1 platform on Windows ?

 

Are there any additional steps specific to Linux deployment ?

 

Any pitfalls ?

 

Could someone point me to any documentation applicable to this process ?

 

Would greatly appreciate your feedback.

 

Regards,

what are the best practices for granting BI super users modification/creation rights?

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

In cases when BI developers are responsible for creating and modifying all contents in BO server, I know that according to best practices, they are supposed to create reports /make changes first in Dev server and then promote the content to Production using the promotion tool in CMC.

 

But what if a small group of super users in different departments would like to have modification/creation access rights too?  What are the best practices for such cases? 

 

Should we allow them to have full access on Dev server and in order not to grant them access to Promotion tool of CMC, schedule regular Dev to Prod promotions?

 

And shall we grant View access , and not modification , on Production server so that anybody responsible for changes, whether BI developers or superusers, are forced to go through the promotion process?

 

What do you recommend?

 

Thanks
