Hi,
I am trying to get list of Disabled users in BOBJ XI 3.1.
I ran the following query in query builder
Select SI_NAME,SI_DESCRIPTION,SI_ALIASES from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS where SI_KIND='User'
This will return me with all the details of alias as
SI_ALIASES 1 SI_NAME secEnterprise:Guest
SI_DISABLED true
SI_ID secEnterprise:#11
SI_TOTAL 1
But am not so sure how to query into si_aliases >> si_total >> si_disabled = true.
Please advice.
Regards,
Diego
Hi,
I'm trying to instal the live office add-in to Excel but when I come to add the path it tells me the crystal_addin_framework.dll file is not a valid office add-in.
I've ticked the excel box in the Live Office Configuration file, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled live office but keep getting the same error.
Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening and how do I resolve the problem.
I'm am using:
BI4.1 SP4 Patch 4
Live Office 4.1 SP4
Excel 2010.
Thanks
Stuart.
I have a database field in 3.1 Universe Designer that is a Long Text data type and parses and displays as expected in the Webi report.
In 4.1 IDT this same field is read as a Blob data type, and does not parse and is not available in Webi. I referred to SAP DOC-42781 that covers Blob/Clob and changed the SQL to "Dbms_lob.substr(Table.CLOB_Column , number of characters, start position)". However, there seems to be a character limit when using this SQL. I initially set my number of characters at 14,000 (my largest record thus far is 13,268), but this produced a IDT query error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at line 1". Again following SAP DOC-42781, I kept reducing the number of characters in the SQL until the error disappeared. Ultimately I determined that it caps out at 4,000 characters. This SQL works for most of my records, but a few are larger than this and as previously mentioned the largest right now is over 13,000. Thus some records are truncated and all text is not displayed as it should be. Given the Dynamic nature of the field, this SQL does not work on surface if there is such a small maximum character limit.
I've tried a couple of workarounds, but the only way I can get the field to display correctly at the report level is to create several similar objects, each extracting 4,000 characters of the string. So in my case I have 4 objects allowing for a character length of 16,000. These objects can't be combined/concatenated at the IDT level because I get an error message "ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long". Thus all 4 objects have to be included in any query, and I then have to create a Webi report variable to concatenate the 4 objects.
This obviously is not a practical or efficient solution. Also given the Dynamic field lengths, it is not a full proof solution either.
As previously mentioned, this was not an issue in 3.1, but is an issue in 4.0/4.1 and SAP DOC-42781 does not fully cover the size limitations.
Is there any viable solution for this within IDT?
Dear all,
I have a question on SAP BO Design Stdio 1.5 client version.I am just trying to add a data source as universe(.unx)
and when I am trying to edit the query specification it gets hung.
Now its taking almost 9-10 mts to connect finally.Once when we restarted our server,it got reduced to 1.5mts which is still not acceptable.
Next day it again stopped responding. Can anybody suggest me some solution on this?
Adaptive Processing services nd DSL Bridge services all are present and are working fine.
The latest update from SAP is to provide request ports to all the APS in our environment which are free and bi directioanlly open which we are just trying.The backend to which we are connecting is SAP HANA.OLAP connections are working fine also.
It has been 1 nd half months that I raised an incident in SAP whcich actually didnt come out with any great results.
Can anyone help me regarding this issue?It would be of great help.

Archana
Dear Community,
I have a requirement to implement an OLAP connection between Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Service (SSAS) Cubes and SAP BO 4.1 SP6 via a secured connection (https).
With this guide I successfully connected my SAP BO server with the SSAS Cubes.
But now I would like change this http connection to https.
The upcoming question is now: Is SAP BO ready to handle a https connection to the SSAS server? And if the answer is yes: Is there a guide to do like this?
In advance much thanks and kind regards,
Sebastian
Hi community members!
Is it true that concurrent users are not able to use tools like Webi Rich Client, Universe Design Tool, Report Conversion Tool etc.?
Hi All,
Here is the requirement : There are some filters in Report and User can enter one value for filter /If user doesn't enter any value ,BO should fetch all the data from SAP EHS.
Could you please provide suggestions for fetching the data as per above requirement from BO, without any performance Issues?
For example , using ABAP FM- IF Input parameter of FM(of SAP EHS) is made optional and is used in BO Report -If User doesn't enter any value,this might have performance Issue.
Please suggest .
Thanks,
Anusha
Hello to All,
I'm back here because I'm with a frustrating understanding of reports status.
I've been trhough BO Administrator documentation since release XI till 4.1 and haven't found the answer.
The problem is, in some ocasions, when we "run now" a report, it stays with "pending" status and will never be executed.
In the end it finishes withe "failure", with a non suggestive message: "The object could not be scheduled in the specified time".
What in fact does "pending" status mean?
What are the job servers waiting for to execute the report even when there are no jobs running?
I tried to set the log of job servers to trace, but no relevant message was logged. And I totally agree with the documentation of BO4.1 SP6 that says "The programmatic information logged to these files is typically useful only to SAP BusinessObjects support staff for advanced debugging purposes.". The logs are almost non-human readable.
In the documentation I found "pending" only related to "Remote scheduling":
1. Tom schedules Report A for Remote Scheduling.
2. Report Instance A is created on the Destination site and is in the “pending” state.
3. Replication Job A runs. First it replicates changes from the Origin to Destination site (including previously completed instances). Second, it copies the instance in the pending state to the Origin site, as well as changes to be replicated from the Destination site to the Origin site.
4. At the Origin site, the scheduler picks up the instance in the pending state and sends it to the appropriate job server for processing. The instance is then processed and placed in the completed state on the Origin site.
5. Replication Job A runs again. When it replicates content from the Origin site to the Destination site, the completed instance Report A is picked up and the changes are applied to the Destination's version.
6. Once completed, the Destination's version is completed.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

BO 4.1 on RHEL. Cluster environment. Web tier - Tomcat + Apache.
Cannot logoff from BI Launchpad.
Suddenly last week clicking on logoff brings be the logon right away.
SSO with SAML assertion and header variables are read by BO. There was no problem for 6 months and last week suddenly logoff stopped working.
We have a URL.EXIT on BIlauncpad.properties and it points to an external xyz.company logoff page. Apparently the logoff button on BI is redirecting the user back into BI launchpad and never letting logout.Any ideas?
Hi Experts,
please let me know how we can re-activate the servers with status failed from Monitoring in CMC..?
EIMadaptive server is in stopping state even after i restarted it, it is not running, may be this is the reason i believe every report (webi) in Launch pad is not executing. The status for EIM server once i checked in monitoring is 'Failed'.
Appriciate you response.
Thank You.
In 3.1 DESKI, there is an option "Show negative values". When it is unchecked the negative values are considered as positive values. Is there any similar option in 4.1 WEBI?
Hello,
I have difficulties to understand why ranking works in the way described below:
It’s simple table (164 records) without any filters, no breaks, no sorts, no section on the report. Just simple table with raw data. Now when I want to apply a BOTTOM ranking something is wrong
I receive results:
In results I have 35 rows which is inccorect. And I don’t know why it’s happening like this. Can someone explain me this, please?
However when I apply a TOP ranking I receive correct results:
I my table I need to show 3 bottom values. Does anybody knows why it’s happening like this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Experts,
We are planning to upgrade our environments from XI 3.1 Sp3 Fp 3.6 to BI 4.1 Sp5. Our current XI 3.1 environment is a 2 node cluster while we are also planning to have the new environment 4.1 Sp5 in cluster as well
Is it required to first cluster the new environments and then migrate the contents from XI 3.1 to BI 4.1 or we can first migrate the content to the new server and then add another server in the cluster?
I'm also referring to the following link to have a better understanding
Planning for upgrade - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Also is it recommended to do an incremental upgrade or a complete upgrade as we approximately have around 1500 enterprise users, 50000 reports , 150 universes, 100 connections and no custom access levels?
As we have setup the security using the default access levels while migrating the contents with security is there a possibility of any issues or known issues?
Please advice

Diego
I would like to know if there are any plans to support Microsoft Edge browser in the SAP BI 4.x product? We are looking to roll this out to some of our customers and the question came up about support for Edge. Has anyone had any experience in using this combination or know of SAP's plans?
Thanks,
Simon
Hi Experts,
When we migrate the users only, is it a best practice to select the universes and connections associated with it or should we select when we promote the reports under Public Folder?

Diego.

Hello All,
We are unable to connect BO XI R2 environment as source to SAP BO 4.1 SP5 environment as destination using Upgrade Management Tool. We have opened following ports bi-directionally and tested Telent command successfully from both the environments:
1. CMS Request Port
2. CMS Name Port
3. IFRS Port
4. OFRS Port
When we try to connect, it shows "Could not reach Source CMS".
We have tried using IP and Domain name also.
What all port are need to be open for successful connectivity? Do we need to open CMS Database port of the BO XI R2 Environment to BO 4.1 environment?
Thanks,
Kushal
Hi,
I have created and scheduled a report using CMC publication, in this report we have 2 date parameters i.e. Start Date and End Date (in interactive filters) which are by default set to 'yesterday' and 'today', but while creating publication, it is again asking to set their initial values (where I selected as default values).
Since the publication is created to run this report automatically at the end of the day, thus we don't want to set these parameters manually everytime.
Please suggest is there any option to do that and why the publication is not setting the default values as selected?
We have SAP Business Objects enterprise version 14.0.7.
Thanks,

Is it possible to create a calendar in business object that only runs jobs hourly Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I know how to do the Monday to Friday part in the calendar and the 9-5 bit in the recurrence but to put it all together so a job is automatically run every Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm hourly has stumped me.
Any ideas?
thanks
Stuart.
