Hi Experts,

 

We have BOE 4.1 server in our environment. Everything was ok until we upgraded the server from SP4 patch 4 to SP5.

 

After up gradation all the services (AdaptiveJobServer, AdaptiveProcessingServer, etc.) except  CMS, InputFileRepository and OutFileRepository are in starting state.

 

Did anybody faced this issue? If yes kindly let us know what may have caused this problem.

Issues Moving from CR11 Server to SAP CR Server 14

$
0
0

Background:

 

We have been successfully running a CR 11 server to automatically generate reports for several years now.  It runs on a virtual XP machine, now one of the last 2 in the company, and we'd like to phase it out.

 

Thanks to a related project, we also have an SAP Business Objects Enterprise CR 14 server independently up and running.  I've been asked to start porting our existing reports from the old server to the new.

 

The reports themselves pull their information from DBF (dBase) files -- this has to do with the agency management software that I'm accessing for the data.  Most of the reports are emailed to the end users as PDF files, a few are emailed as XLS files.  We currently do not use any other format for the report output.

 

Issue:

 

The problem I'm running into is that I can't seem to get a test report running on the new server.

 

I have the UNC path to the actual location of the source DBF file mapped correctly.

I'm logged into the CR 14 server as the Administrator.

I've set the database type using the ODBC driver, and we know that the Microsoft drivers for dbf are installed.

I've tried multiple users, including the actual Network Admin and several system accounts that have Network Admin rights.

I've verified that all of these users have full rights to the folder containing the files on the network.

 

Yet I continue to get failures, most of which give me the error message "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."

 

I must be missing something.  But what?

How to track enterprise idle session??

For example,  user logged in infoview and refresh the report. And idle for some time. Can we track the idle time? We have session time setup to 120 minutes.

 

Our users login to deski using 3 -tier mode. Is there a way to track users coming from 3-tier vs Infoview sessions?


Issue Re-Using Oracle Connection in IDT

$

0

I am the BOBJ administrator for my company.  I have configured an Oracle connection based on the Oracle jdbc in the IDT.  The connection has a successful tnsping, and I can build universes from it.

 

The problem is once the connection is published, I log on to the IDT, open a session, search for my connection, and perform a "test connection" to only get "test failed."  However, the published universe is still viably used for report consumption.

 

If I create a shortcut and place it in my project folder, it also fails.

However, if I totally recreate a brand new connection with the exact same credentials, it tests successfully!  In which, I can build another universe.

 

Is it possible to re-use an Oracle connection? 

We reuse BICs/BEx connections all the time. So this is confounding.

 

The error I receive is as follows: 

Unable to retrieve the datasource configuration : com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException$OCAFramework: Unable to find servers in CMS abc-bodserver1.na.ad. mycompany.com:6400 and cluster @BOD with kind pjs and service null.

Webi report export to Excel - hyperlink to another report

Hi

 

Hope you guys can provide some guidance.

 

 

I have a client that would like to upgrade to SAP BO 4.1.

 

Assuming that they would deploy BO 4.1 with Single Sign-On authentication:

 

If one user exports a Webi report to Excel and the report has a hyperlink to another platform Webi report,

and if the hyperlink is clicked in the exported Excel file (by the same or another user) would the user be prompted

to log onto the BI Launchpad ?

 

If yes, is there a way how to prevent this behaviour in a Single Sign-On authentication mode ?

Is there a workaround to this behaviour in BO 4.1 as well as in BO 3.1 ?

 

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

Hi Experts,

 

This is my first upgrade as an Admin. I have referred a lot of notes and discussion forum for the upgrade. I have got lot more variant solution and process for the upgrade.

Since, I have lot more questions to be shared with you all experts for upgrade. I hope I would get proper guidance for the upgrade process.

 

1. What are the system and database that needs a backup before installation other than CMS, Audit database, FRS?  Do we need to backup the previous Installation Database, the present Reporting Schema( along with table and data)?

2. What are the important consideration for Pre and Post installation?

 

Please do guide me in this processes.

 

Thank you,

Version Management

Hi Community,

 

I am a newbie in SAP BI, currently we are using the platform's version 14.1.3.1257. I'm very happy with the platform services but I don't know the version management is useful for. Is a version management like Subversion or CVS? Is it used for the same purpose?. We are trying to use with our BI content (universes and webi's) but we don't know how to commit new versions.

 

In the official admin guide they talk about infoobjects. What are they?

 

Our main purpose is to have a VM of our BI content. Is the version management the correct tool for that?

 

Regards.

Hi experts,

We did the configuration steps and installed the Agent with the newest PL (7.20 205).

Details w'll be found in the attached log.

 

Where is the configuration to be done to correct the port (8080).

 

Kind regards + thanks for any hint!

Import SAP BW roles to SAP BO withour prefix

$
0
0

Hello,

 

we are re-using our SAP BW authorizations roles for folder authorizations in SAP BO.

Therefore we import roles from SAP BW source system and add these roles to different BO-Groups. Folder authorizations are maintained for these BO Groups.

Import of roles works - but all imported roles / Groups start with a prefix "<SYS-ID>~<CLNT>@"

So if we promote groups/authorizations to qa and prod system we have to add BW roles in each system.

 

E.g.

     DEV-System:

          DEV~001@BW_ROLE --> added to BO Group "BW"

     Promotion to QA-System:

          BO Group contains Role DEV~001@BW_ROLE and QA~002@BW_ROLE has to be added.

         

How to avoid this?

 

There is a similar issue with user which has been resolved by maintaing registry setting.

Thanks and best regards,

P.S. we are using BI 4.1


Monitoring WEB App Server during Load testing

$

We currently have setup our 4.1 SP4 server in a clustered environment with Web Application Server (Tomcat- Bundled with BO) on one machine. It currently has 10 GB and 6 Cores CPU. We did a small load test last week with around 25 users (or less) but when I was monitoring my CPU and Memory usage on this server, it was almost 100%. it was most of the time 70-80% but reached to 100% soon. Other servers (including CMS) are looking much better with well under 10% CPU and 20-30% Memory.

I have requested for memory upgrade since then but questions are

1) Why is there 100% consumption of memory on web application server when no other services are on this box

2) What else I should monitor to make sure this will perform better for big load

 

Does anyone has any ideas or sugggestions?

 

thanks

Auto saved webi document list

$

Dear Members,

 

Because of a recent audit issue in our PROD environment due to a lengthy file name of a webi report, we would like to keep a check on length of the name of the auto saved documents(that gets stored in the recovery folder ~WebIntelligence).

 

What we would like to do is as below -

 

  1. Create a report that pulls the names of all the reports in the ~WebIntelligence folder of the users
  2. If the length of any of reports is more than N chars we would send out emails to such users to either rename or delete them
  3. This way we will avoid the audit issues due to this

 

Can someone guide me to achieve this, if possible.

 

 

Thanks.

Hi

 

We are trying to use Amazon Cloud Email servers with SSL encryption for email distribution with the Adaptive Job server in Business Objects4.1, i have also followed a guide that i found online for setting up SSL encryption email distribution and was unsuccessful. The error that i get after i make the changes from the below document  which is a very generic error. " Object failed to run due to an error while processing on the Job Server."

 

https://decisionfirst.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/enabling-bi4s-email-destination-to-work-with-encrypted-email-servers.pdf

 

I used Authentication as 'Login' and provided it with Amazon Email server User ID and Password on the Adaptive Job server Destination Email configurations.

 

The scheduled reports fail and email distribution doesn't happen. If any of you has performed the same in your organizations, please share your experience to help me. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
