Hi ,

We have installed BOBJ 4.0 SP 2 with FP 6 on LINUX with ORACLE 11 G R2 as DB. Running TOMCAT 6.0.33 as Web App Server. We are having issue when we goto Authentication->SAP->ROLE IMPORT location in CMC. As soon as we click on ROLE IMPORT, it is issuing HTTP STATUS 500 error. Not sure if we need to manually provide the sapjco.jar files as we do in BOBJ 3.1 BOE SAP Integration Kit installation. Tried re-deploying the applications using wdeploy.

Here is the error message:

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

I was recently informed from our network security team that the tomcat we have installed with SAP BO 4.1 SP2 is out of date. I was able to upgrade the tomcat independently from 6 to 7.0.32. But I was told the vulnerability exists in versions older than 7.0.55

Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue with this or any newer version of BO. If there isnt where can i download and install a newer version of tomcat.

I tried and downloaded the jre-8u25-windows-x64.exe from Java which upgraded the JVM to 1.8.0_25 but my tomcat is still at a 7.0.32

Thank you,

Zac

Hi Moderator,

I have searched the below question in the SCN search and also raised SAP ticket. I could not get a helpful reply. Also the support team said, they would not support the upgrade for tomcat. So please help me to post this question.

Question

we have SAP BI 4.1 SP4, we have been asked to upgrade the tomcat due to vulnerability issue, I would like to know the following.

1) Is it safe to upgrade tomcat to the latest in  SAP BI 4.1 manually?

2) Has anyone done this?

3) Does it need a Java, JVM/JDK upgrade along with tomcat upgrade.

4) Can some tell me the steps to do it.

(Currently we have Tomcat - 7.0.32. This is installed as part of the SP 4.1 SP4 bundle.).

Regards,

Shiva

Hi,

I have a really big problem with installations of Design Studio on the BI 4.1 Platform. Can anyone explain me what is written in the CMS database when we install a new version of Design Studio on the Platform ? At the moment I have the problem that I get the following error if I want to add the Analysis Application Service to a Server Node. "The edge between objects xx and xx does not exist. (FWM 02054)". I installed DS 1.5 SP0 Patch 1 but I had to uninstall it because of problems with bookmarks. I uninstalled it and installed DS 1.4 SP1 again. Now I get those error message.

Thanks for any comments or help!

How can i check the list of published reports and profiles in 4.1?

We are in process of getting license to to upgrade SAP BOXI 3.X to SAP BODS 4.2. We do not have any major plans to utilize wide range components in 4.2 like IS data quality etc.,. we just want to utilize same functionalities in 4.2 which are available in 3.1.

In process of obtaining new 4.2 license we need to a full system scan report showing that we are within the compliance of existing license.

Is there a self-auditing tool that is baked into DI system that we can run to show SAP we are staying in compliance with the licenses we have?

Appreciated if any one can response on this ASAP.

Thanks

Hi,

I am using publications in SAP BI 4 which connects to SAP BW. I am using row level security so have set the publication to run for each user. When I run the publication as I can see i does connect to SAP BW with multiple users in parallel during the publication.

is there a way to control the number of parallel users it uses?

Cheers,

Hi,

as we know, from BI 4.1 SP6, SSO can be used for CMC. Especially for administrators who need to login to CMC several times a day, this is a very nice feature. Thanks you, SAP !

Last weekend we upgraded to SP6 on our Production-environment.

Now I was wondering whether an URL can be used, as for Infoview and Explorer, to bypass the SSO.

But neither http://<YourServer>/BOE/CMC/logonNoSSO.jsp (the one for Infoview), nor http://<YourServer>/noSSO.jsp (the one mentioned in a SAP-Note for Explorer) is working.

Does somebody know if there is an URL to be used for No-SSO for CMC as well ?

Many thanks.

Hi,

We have one parameter in our reports whose value is passed from the portal. As a result the parameter is not displayed.

But when the user clicks on the refresh icon the parameter is displayed and asks for value.

We need to either hide the parameter on refresh or disable the refresh icon?

Can anyone let me know a solution for the same.

Thanks,

Simran

I've seen several topics here, one being pretty much the same as my issue, but I didn't see anything to do to make a correction here.

We have AD set up on a test machine, and it's working fine. But in moving to the Production machine, the initial testing failed, specifically the kinit command.

My prod service name is business.objects.app. I can run kinit from the test machine and it's good . . .

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

But when I run kinit from the Prod machine (recently configured), it doesn't work:

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

Here's my krb5.ini file:

[libdefaults]

default_realm = MY.DOMAIN

dns_lookup_kdc = true

dns_lookup_realm = true

udp_preference_limit=1

default_tgs_enctypes = rc4-hmac

default_tkt_enctypes = rc4-hmac

[realms]

MY.DOMAIN = {

kdc=MY.DOMAIN

default_domain = MY.DOMAIN

}

I'm not the server guy but I do get on the machine to poke around for the AD settings.

any assistance is greatly appreciated !

HI Experts,

We have a current situation where our report is hitting only one single node(Node A) and making a huge load and spikes in that server. The current CPU Runtime usage is 75-80 % in NodeA  but the CPU usage on the other node(Node B) is just 21%. Since we are getting complains from the fields from all over places saying the Reports are clocking and is taking very long time to get into and sometimes it even times out. The reason I can say at this time is due to the Load on Node A.

All I need to know is, How do I make a balance usage of both the nodes?

We have a Red Hat Linux environment and We have SAP Business Objects 4.1 SP 5 Patch 6 installation.

This is urgent. Please do help me.

Thank you,

Chandan

Hi Gurus,

Kindly help me out in finding the following from the CMC

Thank You for the Support !!!

Hi,

When I search for a document in Public folder, it also displays me the report under user personal folders as well.

Is there a way to restrict the search of documents in Public Folder only.

It doesnt mean that the user should not be able to search reports in their personal folder, but only the list should not display the report names from other users personal folder/inboxes.

Regards,

Diego.

Hi experts, please help me answer below questions

1. when do I increment the version and HOW to do it?

2. how to rollback to previous version?

3. Any document that outlines the entire strategy from start to finish.  What things need to be implemented?  What new procedures will developers do?

Any solutions or documents will be quite appreciated

Thanks, Kris

Dear Experts

I wondered if there is a possibility to change the "get copy of version" name of a Web Intelligence report.

When there is the need of changing a report I make the changes and I click on "Checkin" to ensure that the latest version of the cms is under version control. Now often the newest report is not the report currently used by the customer because the newest version has not been tested yet for example.

Therefore it is necessary sometimes to promote an old version of this specific report. I then click on history and choose the desired revision number and finally click on "Get copy of version". This action provides a report out of version control which can then be promoted accross the systems. The problem now is that the filename ends with a string containing something like "<reportname>(Copy of Version 2 @ 2014/06/11 11:41:24)".

Is it possible to change this string which is beeing automatically added to the filename? For example to "<reportname>_<revisionnumber>". Or even better: Are there any other ideas to handle the version management in interaction with promotion management?

Thank you

Lars

Hi there,

Currently we are running BOBJ 4.1 SP2 version and we have no issues with Launchpad in SAP portal in Internet Explorer 9.

But we are upgrading our end user machines to IE11 and we are running into issues of Launch Pad not being able to display “Documents” tab of Launch pad in the SAP Portal. Please see attached Image.

As per SAP guidelines in this document, we upgraded to BOBJ 4.1 SP4 version because they say it is compatible with IE 11.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/507d3365-009b-3010-04b0-e5abc8f00c91?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&59407987714033

After upgrade, we are still running into the same issue with Launchpad in SAP portal in IE 11, The “Documents” tab is not showing up  as show in the attached image. This works fine in IE9.

Any Ideas/Thoughts please. Is IE 11 compatible with BOBJ 4.1 SP4 when Launchpad is embedded in the SAP Portal.

Thank you
