$

0

Hi all,

 

I encountered one issue in the process of semantic layser BO SDK development, where i want to update existed connection resouce in CMS.

It is a bit like the featuer provided by sample codes enclosed with semantic layer SDK package.

 

the code is listed as below

 

          context = SlContext.create();

          enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(bo_username,

                   bo_password, bo_cms_name, bo_auth_type);

          context.getService(CmsSessionService.class).setSession(enterpriseSession);

          

           // Creates the CmsResourceService service

        CmsResourceService service = context.getService(CmsResourceService.class);

        System.out.println(CmsResourceService.CONNECTIONS_ROOT);

       

        System.out.println(CmsResourceService.CONNECTIONS_ROOT + existed);

       

        // Loads the connection to edit

        DatabaseConnection connection = null;

          try {

               connection = service.loadConnection("/Connections/OSS_TEL_Instance3");

               //service.

          } catch (SlException e) {

               // TODO Auto-generated catch block

               e.printStackTrace();

          }

 

once it run, the error message poped up

 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid network layer: JDBC

     at com.sap.sl.sdk.authoring.connection.internal.RelationalDriverFactory.getRelationalDriver(RelationalDriverFactory.java:116)

     at try_sl_sdk.ConnectionModification.changeConnectionURL(ConnectionModification.java:110)

     at try_sl_sdk.ConnectionModification.main(ConnectionModification.java:72)

     

Notice, i have added VM arguments as the SDK develoment guide and switch the JDK to 32-bit version.

Promotion Management Push or Pull?

$
0
0

Hi Pro's,

 

I would like to know what's the best practice when using Promotion Management in the Central Management Console (CMC) with regards to what server to use to host the Promotion Management jobs. Source (push) or destination (pull) ? 

 

Lets say I'm migrating folders, reports and dashboards from Development (source) to QA (destination) on the same network, do I:

 

  1. Create the Promotion Management jobs on Development (push)
  2. or create the Promotion Management jobs on QA (pull)?

 

The outcome should be exactly the same.

 

Environment: SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 1

 

Thanks

Gerrie

Sending reports by email

I have a report that will be broken by User name. There is a table which holds that user's email address.

 

What I would like to do is have the Crystal report, separate the large report to ind. users.

 

so the date would look like this:

 

User              date              Cust no                     Cust name         Note1

 

Joe                010114         123                      Mycust1                 note1a

Joe                050114          456                     Mycust2                 note1b

John              040114           789                    Mycust1                  note1a

 

I can get the email from another table. Where do i place the email address so that it would break after line2 and send that part ( the first 2 lines here) to Joe?

Effects of service account change in windows AD

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?

No Data return from Query running on JDBC based Universe communicating DSO

I am facing some critical issues with SAP BW Netweaver connection in IDT. I have tried to create a Unx based on 4 such connection calling 4 separate DSO from SAP BW.

 

Firstly I got the issue relating to multiple instances of RFC connections created in SAP BW.(Snapshot attached)

Issue cause each time connection are creating separate RFC connection in BW and earlier connection remains unused.

After reaching the max count of RFC connection in BW, IDT stop connecting to BW.

 

I find a workaround in this link

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BW+With+RFC+JCO+Connections+In+Information+Design+Tool

 

followed the steps, Now test connection passed.

However, another issue raised queries fired from Unx are keep running and returning no results. Even no error message is coming.

I tried simple test in IDT to run a query on single DSO, it worked. But when i am trying to run a join condition on 2 DSO, query keeps running.

Same analysis is done in Data Federation Administration Tool. Results are same, query keeps running.

 

Could anyone provide inputs on this front, How query get split on different RFC connections while execution.

Any help is appreciated.

Upgrading a larger BI 4.0 Deployment to BI 4.1

Does anyone know the best approach to migrate a larger BI 4.0 deployment to BI 4.1?  Based on the post below, the recomended approach to migrate from 4.0 to 4.1 is to perform a fresh install on new hardware and use the LCM to migrate the objects over.  However, it notes that the LCM packages should be limited to 100 objects and that this approach is not recommended for larger installations.  If that is the case, am I stuck performing an in-place upgrade?  I would much preffer to perform a fresh install.

BO4 - job server affecting other ad-hoc services

$
0
0

Hi,

 

A couple of times recently we have discovered that our job servers were impacting ad-hoc users and causing the launchpad to show launching when users trying to view reports/create reports in bi launchpad.

 

We had to stop and start the adaptive job servers in order to allow ad-ho users to continue.  Our implementation partner had seen similar problems with bo 3.1

 

We have 3 job servers (which can run 5 jobs each).

 

On one occasion 15 jobs were reported as running but nothing actually running  and on another which had greater impact on the actual ad-hoc users we only had 5 reported as running however when looked on database these jobs weren't actually running.

 

Anyone seen anything similar.

 

We are using BO4 SP08

 

Have 2 concernes 1 - that all job servers can become clogged  - this is why we have 3 separate job server services so if get problems with one at least hope th eothers would run no problem.

 

Second concern is that the scheduling services can stop users being able to use launchpad sucessfully when.

 

Jobs on scheduler not heavy reports - normal report time only a few minutes/not many rows and database not stressed.

 

Any thoughts/ideas?

 

Thanks

Promotion Manager error: Promotion Status=Failure : Application not available

I know there are numerous quirky things with promotion manager (4.0)  but for the most part we can manage. I have used it numerous times and never seen this error and do not find any info on it.

 

Promotion Status=Failure : Application not available

 

All I am doing is trying to promote two crystal 2011 reports only, from our dev to prod, they do not exist in prod. All the services are running fine, What does it mean with application not available? I have the nice green check box on my connections to each environment. Any help is appreciated!


Can't "save as" report to server repository

$

I've got a trial environment, including Crystal Server 2013, Crystal Reports for Enterprise (2013), and Client Tools.  My ultimate goal is to implement a Crystal report with real-time refresh (SDK or webElements).  In the interim, I'm trying to make the following simple scenario work: create DSN (note: I'm using a DSN created using the Windows ODBC Administrator) and postgresql (JDBC) connections in the Information Design Tool.  Publish the connections to the server repository.  Create Crystal reports that reference these data sources.  Publish the reports the server repository.  And, then to play with scheduling and adding webElements to the reports.

 

I'm stuck in Crystal Reports "save as", where I'm asked to change the connection to a BI Platform connection.  I've got both DSN and postgresql connections in the repository.  When I set target to the DSN, I get the error "unable to connect to repository".  For the postgresql connection, I get the error "The data source Postgresql 8 is not supported". 

 

Interestingly, I also tried a similar scenario using sample reports that come with the server download.  Open a report from Crystal Reports, and then "save as" to a different folder in My Folders.  Opening the report, get the message about unsupported data source migration.  Then, "save as" results in request to change data source.

 

Thanks!

Enable Real Time Cache - Document Output

Requirement is to capture the query as well as the data returned when a webi document is run by the end user. End user has the ability to access universe and create their own documents.

 

 

1) Would it be possible to capture the temporary webi document from repository by turning on "Enable Real Time Cache" and saving the document somewhere else (or in another format)?

 

 

2) Is there a way to capture the select statement using Triggers or something and run it and store the output in a excel or csv file in oracle or sql server database by using any packages?

 

Thanks

New SIA node and login error

$

Hi there

 

Just wanted to solve one issue which seems abit weird to me. We have one server with SAP BO 4.0 Sp09 on it, with single node - the default one. Then I need to create another node for testing purposes, but it fails all the time with the text

 

Logging into SAPBISER as user Administrator with secEnterprise authentication... Sleeping for 5 second(s).

 

here are the steps:

1. I shutdown the default node, checking for SAP BI leftovers

2. Create new SIA by adding different port for SIA, CMS and different Cluster key, pointing to new DV schema

3. Tables are being created in DB , but log file is full of "Logging into SAPBISER as user Administrator with secEnterprise authentication...

Sleeping for 5 second(s)."

 

Am I doing smth wrong? Besides, I was able to replicate this with 4.0 only, in 4.1 everything works great and second node was created and added successfully.
