$
0
0

Hello,

 

 

Performing a server migration using BOE XI R3.1 (from BOE XI R3.1 to same release BOE XI R3.1) on Linux Platform.

After performing a data restore, the BOE server executables could not be launched (do not start) due to different BOE base directory path in these environments.

Could someone help point me on how to edit server configuration data to correct the base path in the migrated server?

Hi,

 

I have an installation of SAP BusinessObejcts BI Platform on a server and i already have a few universes and WEBI reports working, but we will change the domain (for i.e. domainnet to domain.local) so i think we will loose our reports like they are working like now.

 

 

What i need to do to make sure that we won't have any problem?

 

A step-by-step guide would be a help. I try to find anything on the web but was usefully.

 

 

 

 

tks, regards.

Trusted Auth Works with QUERY_STRING but not with COOKIE

$
0
0

Not sure whether to post here or in the .NET SDK space.....

 

Environment: BI 4.1 SP3 on Windows Server 2012.  Separate Web server and app server.


I'm trying to use Trusted Authentication to log in to BO from a VB.Net app using Trusted Authentication.

 

This code works:

 

If Not IsNothing(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("BOEURL")) Then
    ReportingURL = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("BOEURL")

    Response.Redirect(ReportingURL & "?BOUser=" & PersonID.ToString())
    'Remove the error message.
    SetMessageText(lblMessage, "")
Else
    SetMessageText(lblMessage, "Unable to find BI Launchpad URL")
End If

 

With this in global.properties:

 

trusted.auth.user.param=BOUser

sso.enabled=true

trusted.auth.user.retrieval=QUERY_STRING

 

So I know that Trusted Authentication is configured correctly in the CMS.  However, I don't want to include the user ID in the query string, so I'm trying to use a cookie instead.

 

But this code sends me to a login page:

 

If Not IsNothing(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("BOEURL")) Then
    ReportingURL = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("BOEURL")
    Dim BOCookie As New HttpCookie("BOCookie", PersonID.ToString())
    BOCookie.Path = "/"
    BOCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5.0)
    Response.Cookies.Remove(BOCookie.Name)
    Response.Cookies.Add(BOCookie)

    Response.Redirect(ReportingURL)
    'Remove the error message.
    SetMessageText(lblMessage, "")
Else
    SetMessageText(lblMessage, "Unable to find BI Launchpad URL")
End If

 

And this is what's in global.properties:

trusted.auth.user.param=BOCookie

sso.enabled=true

trusted.auth.user.retrieval=COOKIE

 

Does anyone have any thoughts about what's happening?

 

Thanks!

Email to Dynamic Recipients and Dynamic Message in CR

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

I'm on BO 4.1 SP4.

 

I have query. I'm doing a proposal to a client. they want the PDF to be sent to the dynamic recipients list. I have used the dynamic recipients functionality in WebI. But this customer used Crystal Reports to create the source document.

 

1. Does the functionality in Dynamic recipients for Crystal reports actually work in BOE (anybody with experience)?

 

2. Apparently there is a functionality in CR, to make crystal report details to be dynamic based on grouping? when we schedule this CR, can we use that functionality for Dynamic recipient list mail body (message)?

 

Eg: Based on the email Id i want the names to change eg: if mail is sending to james@gmail.com i want in the dynamic recipients message to contain name James in the message.

 


Please let me know if you need further clarifications.

Hello BO Experts,

 

Im having a problem with SIA, its just not starting(it never appears as stopped but it continues initializing and starting and then intializing), and generating hprof files in the logging folder until the disk is full.

 

What I have done already:

 

Changed the java allocated memory on setenv.bat file to:

 

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

 

Read the heap files on the Memory Analyzer, where all the files show the same error:

 

Problem Suspect 1

The thread java.lang.Thread @ 0x16acbf80  Thread-0 keeps local variables with total size 268 450 440 (68,23%) bytes.
The memory is accumulated in one instance of "char[]" loaded by "<system class loader>".
Repaired the BO Installation with no results
Increased the server memory to 16GB.
BO information:
BO 4.0 SP4 with data integration.
Please if anyone have any hint about what to do I would really appreciate. this error happened out of nothing,
Thanks on advance.

Auth error using OData to read Sharepoint list

Hi,

I'm trying to read a Sharepoint 2010 list using an OData 2.0 source in SAP BusinessObjects 4.1.

Every time I test the connection I have the same authentication error

A problem occurred while communicating with the provider. Detailed message: Server error: (response: status=401, reason='Unauthorized', request='/myURL/$metadata')


I confirmed that the user name and password are correct, the same for permissions

I made some basic test and I can connect to my OData feed using Excel/PowerPivot and IE for example. Also, I can connect to "sample" OData feeds in SAP BusinessObjects (http://services.odata.org/V3/Northwind/Northwind.svc/)

Any help about it ?

Thanks!

Crystal Report exported as PDF in BO 4.1 SP03 is creating Margins

$
0
0

Our users began complaining this past weekend (6/29/2014) that our Crystal Reports that are formatted to fit to letter head page size in
PDF format are seeing their columns truncated because Adobe is imposing a 1/4 margin on the top and sides of their reports, causing dollar values to truncate a digit at the front or back of their numbers -- NOT a good thing.  We have been up on SP03 for several months, but just started seeing this change recently.  We also just recently upgraded to CR2011 SP09 a few weeks ago.

 

Are there new settings that we can tweak to remove the PDF margins on the server?  Anyone have any ideas?  We will try any idea, no matter how far-fetched as it may seem.

 

Thanks,

Lost password for the administrator

Hi experts,

 

I'm on a client where they lost the password for the administrator on they PRD environment, and here are the steps that I took already,

 

Tried using the note 1719361 to set the password to blank, but after all the steps, when I try to login without password, I get the following error.

 

The property <undeterminable property name> of the object with ID 1373923 is not exclusive. Table= '{2}'. Column= '{3}'.

 

So is there any other option? Like can I turn a regular user into an administrator via console mode?

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Best

Changing Data Source of a BO Query

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

I have a report that is based on a OLAP universe which is in turn based on a BEx query. Now, I have a new BEx query and I have created a new OLAP universe over it.

I try to modify the existing report by changing the BO query from old universe to new universe. I am able to do so, but I noticed that the data fetched by the BO query is not exactly the same as the data returned by the BEx query. The data in the BO query is subset of data returned by the new BEx query.

Then I tried to create a new report, instead of modifying the existing report, on this new universe. The data retrieved by this new report is exactly the same as the data returned by the BEx query.

 

Has anyone faced similar issue when changing data sources for an existing report? What is the solution and cause of this.

We are on BO4 SP7 Patch 7.

 

Also, what can be the workarounds. I can think of few -

1) Creating a fresh new report.

2) Adding new BO queries --> changing variables to pick objects from new BO queries --> remove old BO queries.

3) Avoid Universe and try creating OLAP connection and change data source from universe to BEx Query.

 

Please guide.

 

Thanks,

Sameer

Repository Diagnostic Tools 4.1 SP4 Unable to Run

Hello all,

 

Running the below .bat file as Admin returns the reposcan.exe list of help options (doesn’t actually run). I’ve played around with moving the .txt file and all files have adequate permissions. I think it might be due to dbkey or connection string. Do you know if dbkey is the same as the cluster key? If so – can the encrypted cluster key accessible in CCM -> SIA -> Properties -> Configuration -> CMS Cluster Key Configuration be used as dbkey?

 

  1. Reposcan.bat:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\reposcan.exe" -optionsfile "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\reposcan.txt"

 

  1. reposcan.txt:

-dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsystem -connect “UID=xxxx;PWD=xxxx;DSN=xxxx” -dbkey xxxx -inputfrsdir “C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Input” -outputfrsdir “C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Output” -outputdir "C:\"

 

Thank you,

Hi Everyone,

 

We are using Business Object XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008.


We have a few reports which uses Java Beans Connectivity. They all run fine using Crystal Report 2008 Designer.

I have looked the configuration of Crystal Job Server, Reports Cache Server and Processing Server, nothing obvious that has limited the connection to 10 mins. I have extended the time in CRConfig.xml still no luck.

 

There are other reports on the server using direct db connection and run fine for 2 hours+.

 

Anyone has experienced this before and aware of any configuration that might cause the report to fail in 10 mins?
