Hi, We have a requirement to schedule an object from Monday to Friday and only from 6 AM to 10 PM. I know we can use Calendar to define workdays but in that case object would run once a day. I need it to run every hour every working day. Do we have any means to do that?
Thanks,
Hi,
We have found that WIreportserver.exe process taking high memory in our BO systems. We are in SAP Business objects XI 4.0 SP 07 Patch 2 version now.
We have found that the Web intelligence server memory threshold settings to be changed in case of these issues.
But there are no documents that says about the recommended settings for SAP BO BI XI 4.0 version.
The XI 3.1 recommendations(SAP Note:1544103 ) can not be taken as its a 32bit server and the X14.0 is a 64 bit one.
Please let me know the recommended settings for web intelligence server memory threshold settings SAP BO BI XI 4.0 version or any SAP note that says about it.
Any suggestions/ recommendations are welcomed that will fix the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Has anybody had any luck modifying the web.config for Business Objects? Since our version BO 4.0 SP6 FP11 doesn't agree with IE10's compatibility view mode we were hoping to add the below code to the web.config to override it. Company policy is to set Compatibility View Settings to Display intranet sites in Compatibilty View.
It's possible for our users to switch out of compatibility view settings, but adding an override would be a cleaner solution and not affect other intranet sites.
Thanks for any help!

Hi all,
I'm just curious how to find the cab file that contains the dsws_consumer jar files.
I.e. I'm downloading SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 CLIENT TOOLS WINDOWS (32B) or any other client tools version (can be 3.1, 4.0 or 4.1) and I don't want to install the full client.
I just need the files that are installed in the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\web services\en\dsws_consumer\data\dswsJavaApi
Is there a way to get those jar files out of one cab file without installing the whole client ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Alexander
Hello everyone,
We were using Business Objects 4.0 SP4 with many OLAP Connections to BPC MS 10 using XMLA Web Services and they were working perfectly.
After an update to SP9 for BO, the connections stopped working. resulting in the following error:
Failed to get connections for connection [...] using session locale [English].
No changes was made in the BPC server, only BO server. And the connection String, User and Password is exactly the same as when it was working. No changes made in BO Application.
Screen captures of the error and configuration are attached.
Could Anyone Help me?
Thanks!
Hi,
Once we enable auditing, is it possible to know
1) all the universes accessed by the end user?
2) what are the objects that he has accessed from those universes?
3) when did he access those universes etc.,?
4) Would the ADS_Event table in 4.x Audit schema give those details?
5) Are there any equivalent tables in 3.x?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I tried to found the location where hot backup is store in system for businessobjects 4.0.
In CMC :

I looked at the issues related to Hotbackup feature is turned on permanently. I submitted an idea in idea place, if SAP gives an option to in Hot Backup feature to schedule to turn on specific time , similar like Scheduling the report. Please promote the idea if you think it is a better feature.
Anyone has a script to turn on/off the Hot Backup feature and duration? So i can schedule that script to tun on/off whenever i am planning to take backup.
I have two business objects environments. For two of them I am failing to login to a specific part of CMC.
I want to go to Authentication tab, SAP authentication. The page is not opening.
I have on both environments 500.000 + Failed jobs. (settings - view global system metrics).
I have the feeling my CRYSTAL user account's password has expired and the 500k+ failed schedules are due to the scheduled update of roles and aliases which is failing.
Can anybody tell me how to cleanup these 500k events, and hopefully being able to access my sap authentication again (and update the password for crystal user? They cannot be deleted from instance manager.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Had issues with displaying the HTML output on update and refresh of a given report selecting specific categories. Current, using CR 2008 and Central Management Console(CMC) Product 12, 2008.
Cannot view the report's output using webElements like SelectDuo, SelectLink etc. When one clicks on a filter from the formula passed to the SelectDuo
the report redirects to the SAP Business Objects info-view Logon page.
Here is the default URL, in the CMC: Does it need to be tweaked to view the result of the same report refreshing itself without prompting for a login.

Hello,
Little rant against SAP about the translation of the name of a product...
In "SAP BI" Windows starting menu, for a french installation, when I saw for the 1st time a module called "Mettre à niveau l'outil de gestion", I couldn't help thinking/saying :
I've finally discovered it's "Upgrade Management Tool" !
French is my native language and I can tell you that the french translation is actually ridiculous !
I would suggest : "Outil de gestion de mise à jour"

Hi BO Gurus,
I installed SAP BOE 4.1 SP2 for my client and then implemented Windows AD on the platform using same service account.
Now due to comply with some regulations my client wants to change the service account and its password everywhere in BO -
I will have to change it
- Under CCM --> SA --> 'Log in as' account information
- ODBC data source connection
- Windows AD
Could you please let me know if I need to implement all windows AD again using the new service account?
What are all the steps and precautions that need to be followed while changing service account?
We recently upgraded our SP of our BOBJ environment. We were on 4.1 SP 01 Patch 03 and we upgraded to SP 03.
Though we found couple of bugs been fixed but noticed one new defect which wasn't there before.
So, now i am concerned what should be our testing strategy? Could you please help me in getting some check list for the testing after a SP upgrade?
Thanks,

Hi All,
We will be taking our CMS database offline for maintenance. I was wondering what the impact would be for the BOBJ system?
I realise no reports or anything like that will be able to be executed, but is there any danger in keeping everything running and then taking the database offline?
Would you then be able to bring the database back online and have everything work ok again? Or do I need to shut down everything BOBJ related during that time?
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
