Because we have acquired Crystal Reports Server 2013 and now need to move all reports from the old crystal server to the new server.
I read the problem is CR X11 R2 is minimum needed to be able to upgrade these reports over.
I look under software download and not readily finding any R2 version that I could use to upgrade from...
Any thoughts or insights ?
I'm trying to compare Crystal Report views for February 2014 and February 2015. We had BOE3 in 2014 and have BOE4 now. There is a very large discrepancy in the view count. One folder shows 268 total views for 2015 and the same folder shows 3,279 views for 2014. In fact, all view numbers are much lower when collecting data from BOE4.
For BOE3 using the Activity universe: I'm using the Event Type Description: "Report Viewing Succeded" along with "Object Folder Path", User Name, Event ID and Start Time.
For BOE4: I'm using Event Type "View", Object Name, User Name, Action ID and Start Time.
I have "Set Events" at "Default" for BOE4 Auditing and User Group Details and Folder Path Details checked.
What am I missing? There can't be THAT much of a viewing discrepancy between BOE3 and BOE4.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,
Can you help me with the query to list the no of failed instances through query builder for the month of March only?
I'm also trying to get the data from instance manager as I'm interested to analyse the error with which the reports failed, but it is only listing it for a specific user even though its not selected in any of the criteria. Not so sure why

I have created a new universe using Information Design Tool 4.1 Build: 14.1.5.1568, this is my first full blown universe against an Oracle 11g database.
It contains 69 tables, 119 joins and 12 contexts. There are no issues in the DFX. I have the customer table joined to 10 fact tables. So the customer table is in 10 contexts plus an additional context just for the customer group of tables.
When I try to pull just customer number into a webi report with nothing else, the query is joining customer to a fact table instead of just pulling the customer table.
I am not getting prompted to select context.
COMPARE_CONTEXTS_WITH_JOINS set to YES.
Why aren't I just getting a select from customer in my webi report?
Thank you,
Roger

Hi Guru's
We recently had a issue where disc space was full in BO server and it was down. The reason was there was one job in print spool folder which was eating up whole space in C drive.
We had to stop the print spool service and delete the jobs and restart it back.
In order to prevent this from happening what can be done??.
One way that my client suggested is to write a script where in it will send us the size of print spool folder every hour so we can find the report which is causing this. I have no idea how this can be done.
This happened once and I dont have an answer when my manager asks will it happen again. Is there a way where we can monitor this or stop this from happening.
My current environment is
BOXI R2 , crystal report XI is the reporting tool.
Thanks.
Dear BO Architects,
I have a Dev, Test & Prod environment in BO 3.1 and working on preparing a plan to upgrade to SAP BO 4.1.
From what I understand, we can perform this in more than one way but I am unsure of the recommended approach.
1) SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Prod and then move contents from SAP BO 4.1 Prod to Test to Dev with appropriate testing
2) SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Dev and then move contents from SAP BO 4.1 Dev to Test to Prod with appropriate testing
3) SAP BO 3.1 Dev to SAP BO 4.1 Dev, SAP BO 3.1 Test to SAP BO 4.1 Test, SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Prod
Can you please advise me on the correct approach?
Appreciate all the help!

Can you please go step by step?
Thank You.
Hi,
We are using SAP Crystal reports 2011 in the OPD platform (server). OS - Windows 2008 server. We have around 40 reports hosted on this platform.
In CMC and BI we are unable to see the old instances(history reports) that completed. Only a blank page gets displayed when i right click on the report and click on History option.
At the bottom total items is displayed as 1. this 1 item is also blank with no names. When i right click on this item i get the usual options (Organsie, Send, More Options). I have attached the screen shots in the word document.
From BI when i click on the report it opens the last successfull instance.
This issue started when i restarted the Server Intelligence Agent service. I am able to see all the rpt files in the root folder in the server.
Could you please assist me in fixing this issue.
Thanks,
Sathish
Hello
Over the past few months I've been trying to create a Multi-Source Universe in the IDT tool. I've finally got it working on our DEV and TEST environments, but am having issues when trying to promote the between the different environments.
I promote the .UNX from DEV in Promotion Manager(in the CMC) , then retrieve into TEST through the IDT tool. But because the Data Foundation(DF) is pointing to DEV connections , it doesn't work.
I've tried to copy the DF into my TEST project and change the connections but once I delete the existing DEV connections, all the tables turn black and are invalid . It wont let me re-point the tables to the TEST connections. And the only way to add a table is to delete everything from the DF and start again.
This is a bit of a showstopper for us as we do all our work in DEV then promote it through TEST and LIVE. Judging by my progress so-far it looks like we'd have to completely re-do the DF in each environment, which isn't ideal.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
How do I create an OLAP connection using .net C# code ?
provider is SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse ... BW 7.x...based on BEx query.
What all dlls are needed ?
Authentication is LDAP.
I am new to sdk and OLAP creations.
It would be great if I get code snippet as well.
Is this possible ? if not possible in .NET then is it possible in Java ?
Thanks,

Hi I am working with colleagues on building a WEBI dashboard on the BI Launchpad. However, my colleagues are unable to access WEBI fully (view/edit reports) because the following error displays on their Internet Explorer web browser:
"Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine"
I have tried asking them to download the latest version of Java and still this error is not resolved. Does anyone know the root cause of this and how I can provide a solution for my colleagues?
Hi,
How do I create an OLAP connection using .java ?
provider is SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse ... BW 7.x...based on BEx query.
What all jar files are needed ?
Authentication is LDAP.
I am new to sdk and OLAP creations.
It would be great if I get code snippet as well.
Is this possible ? if not possible in java then is it possible in .net?
I have already asked in .NET sdk but wanted to ask in java as well
Updated:
I missed to mention main requirement:
We are working on BO SAP Analysis tool that uses olap connections created in BO CMS based on BEX query in BW.
The connections created are used to run SAP Analysis on Excel tool.
The challenges is that we have 100 plus connections and many be time consuming also we have to migrate connections across regions.
Plan was to automate its creation thru any SDK/RestFul approach .
The first thing that came to my mind to automate its creation in CMC using .NET just as I was able to create a folder using plugin manager .
Thanks,

Testing a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit with our BI4.1 environment but having issues printing Crystal Reports - getting the Print to PDF (Export) displayed when clicking on the printer icon on the report header section. Exporting the report to a file using the Export this report button works as expected. With similar Windows XP and Win7 32 bit machines, with all the same browser versions there are no problems.
Details:
Server side: SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 4 Version: 14.1.4.1327
Client side: Windows 7 64 bit with IE 11.0.9600.17691, Firefox 37.0.1. Google Chrome 42.0.2311.90 m (64-bit)
Printing of Crystal Reports works fine with IE and Firefox - they have the ActiveX installed and I realize Chrome does not support ActiveX. I have attempted to use both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Chrome. If we right click on the web page/report and select Print (or Ctrl-P) we are presented with an option to output(print) to a physical printer but the page layout is the webpage not the report.
We have selected PDF one-click printing and ActiveX one-click printing under Preferences/Crystal Report options while using Web (no downloading required) for default view format. If we configure the default view format for Web Java and set the printing control to either PDF one-click or Active-X one-click then we receive an error - "This plug-in is not supported" when attempting to run a report.
So why can we run reports from the same BI 4.1 server on 32 bit WinXP and Win7 machines, print fine but not have an option to print on a Win7 64 bit? We assume the problem is the 64 bit OS but hoping someone has some additional information to assist us.
Hi,
IS there any update about the compatibility of BI with office 2013 64bit?
Thank you,
Maged
