For the Webi Processing Server, there is a property called "Maximum Documents per User". If you have multiple Webi Processing Servers defined in the platform, does this mean maximum per server or is it an over all maximum for the system as a whole? None of the documentation I've looked through indicates which is is.
I am struggling to define the details of the issue I am having. I'll try; maybe I can add more details soon.
First of all, we were running 4.1 SP01 Patch 2. On March 7, 2014 I upgraded our environment to 4.1 SP01 Patch 6. Things seem to be working fine, but there is no way I can run every single report in our system. So I cannot say for sure if the problem we are having now was happening immediately after the upgrade or not. I do know it was not happening before the upgrade.
Just yesterday a user reported getting the following error...
This report isn't used regularly, so I believe this was probably the first attempt to run it since the upgrade. This report is built on a UNX universe on top of a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
Now for more background information which may or may not be pertinent. There are 8 other reports that are based on this same universe. Only one other report is having issues (same errors). The thing that the two reports having issues have in common is that they both prompt for a context. That isn't all that surprising given the error messages. However, Google and SAP xSearch yield exactly zero results. Well, I am about to change that with this post.
The user that was getting this issue also has the Rich Desktop Client installed. She tried to run the problematic report there and got the same error. I received the same error when running the report through the browser, but not in Rich Desktop Client on my machine. However, I have not had the opportunity to update the client tools on my machine to 4.1 SP01 Patch 6, but my user that reported the issue has upgraded. So all of that together makes me suspicious that the upgrade is the issue.
We cannot go back. We need a work around. Perhaps I need to update my client tools and rebuild and redeploy the universe.
I am using BO 4.1 version and in webi report we had an optional prompt. Now the requirement is we have to implement the optional prompt in Universe Design Tool (UDT). Is there any workaround for this requirement?
I have a system on SAP BI BO 4 SP6. I want to restrict report viewing as per the following requirements. Please advise:
1) I want to restrict a user to view report during a specific time interval only, for. eg from 08 00 to 16 00. Is this possible? How can this be achieved? Or maybe can we restrict the user to login in the BI lauchpad during this period only.
2) I want to allow only specific IPs or MAC addresses to access the BI launchpad. Can this be achieved and how?
This behavior is occurring on BOE 4.1, SP4 (which was just recently applied)
We have several Crystal Reports documents in BOE 4.1 SP4. When the user is prompted to supply a value for a date parameter, the user clicks the "calendar" icon, which opens a calendar popup. The popup is displaying the calendar in right to left order; for example, the 1st week of July 2014 is displayed as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. This behavior began immediately after SP4 was applied.
My best guess is that this is a localization issue, but if so I can't figure out how to correct it. Here's what it looks like:
I am trying to capture Analysis Views through the standard Oracle Auditing universe. Auditing configuration within CMC has everything selected but when I I run a query for Analysis Views = Object Type, I only see events for Create and Modify (Event Type). I don't even see the Analysis View description through Object Name.
We are trying to schedule a SAP BO Analysis, edition of MS Office workbook.
All necessary steps for preparation have been done.
- Install the Add-On
- Enter the precalculation server path
- OLAP connection configured with SSO
- SSO Token Service configured
Everytime we try to schedule a workbook, the document appears in "My recently run documents" with the error message 'Document does not contain OLAP connections'.
Does anyone have had the same error and how did you get rid of it?
We need to disable Export to CSV in a Report from Infoview.
In the CMC, we have already defined "Public Folder User acces level". On top of that i have denied the following options. -> User Security -> Select the group to affect -> go to Advanced tab -> click the Assign rights link -> within the Content section on the left, select Web Intelligence Report -> under Specific Rights for Web Intelligence Report, deny "Save as CSV" & "Save for Excel" & "Save for PDF" options.
After i denied the above options, The implicit value showas as "Not Specified". For the above mentioned rights it has been granted in "Public Folder User acces level".
Kindly guide me how to override this changes so that i can restrict Save Option.
In our environment we have noticed a very large number of events with user_name as null. These events are growing daily and consuming all the DB space.
I have checked service_type_name (from ads_service_type_str table) for those client_type_id (from ADS_EVENT table) and found the below details
Web Intelligence Processing Service
Job Server
Logon without Client ID
Central Management Service
Central Configuration Manager
CMC
BI launch pad
Open Document
Live Office
I couldn't find anything related to this (user_name as null) over net or forums. Please let me know If someone has any idea on the probably reason.
Has anyone ever attempted to parse a BO webi log file with powershell (or other windows scripting language) to get something in a more friendly output that could be passed on to an internal support team for review? For example, when I review our log files I see a variety of error messages that might be something I need to pay attention to as a system admin or they might be 'training' type errors that I can hand off to our support team to get with the user. I want to parse out the 'useful' info and ignore the noise ( such as excess info, 'soft errors', or successes). Plus, the support team does not have access to our webi logs/webi servers.
I am self-teaching as I go with powershell and since I have other scripts running in powershell, I started with that (there could be a better way). I would just like to extract the date, server, full error information and username and format it to a list. There is just no easy way that I can figure out to identify a single log entry line... or to know where the error information 'really' ends. Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious though - which is very possible as these webi logs make my eyes go buggy!
Has anyone ever tried anything like this and can share some insight? we are on 4.0 sp7 patch 7 if it makes a difference in log format or anything.
