BI - HA and load-balancing

0
0

Hi everybody,

 

I would like to ask you for help with HA and load-balancing.

 

Can we set 4 BO servers as active/active to support HA and load-balancing? If yes, how to do that?

 

 

Thanks.

qaawsWsdl.zip is not creating

0

HI Experts,

 

I am using Qaaws for my dashboard to fetch the data. recently we have implement a new server with load balancer. while i am promoting the dashbaord to my new system with QaaWs I can able to see the QaaWsin Query as web service client application. but when I use to check it it gives an error called

 

D:\-\-\tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes\qaawsWsdl.zip (The system cannot find the file specified)

 

So I got an help by the below discussion, but that havent helped me to get the file.

https://scn.sap.com/thread/1968231


You can do the following to regenerate the qaawsWSDL.zip file

 

Visit the following URL.

http://<hostname>: <port>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/wsdlGenerator

 

This (WSDL generator) simply creates qaawsWSDL.zip by retrieving query information from CMS so you don't lose any queries

 

Could anyone help me to get an solution for this.

 

Thanks!

Ramesh

We are migrating from BO 3.1 to 4.1 sp05. We have two PROD boxes with 8 CPU each and BO is clustered in it. We used system configuration wizard to split the APJ. My question is regarding AJS and WEBI processing server

 

In existing 3.1 environment ,We have lots of jobs run everyday and we have created 8 adaptiveJobserver and 8 WEBi processing server created to handle the load. How do I replicate the same in 4.1 ? Can I create the same way cloning the servers as per the CPU ? Please advice

Hello Experts,

 

 

We have a requirement to enable BO monitoring and gets the e mail of the alerts.

I have studied the SAP Note and blogs but one thing is not clear to me how BO application machine and server authenticated when some message is send to the SMTP server.

 

First i have to make a connection to the SMTP server. For that i just need to ask SMTP server name and the port that it is listening to usally 25 ryt?

 

Then in monitoring i configure the email address and in Watchlist i have to enable the notification. Where else i have to make entry for it?

Environment: SAP BI 4.1 SP05 Patch 4

Windows OS of BO Server: Windows 2012

 

We are using Java SDK in our application UI to refresh a webi report, set prompts and save the report as PDF or Excel. We have copied all the jars from the BI 4.1 server to our app server.

1. Prompts prompts = document.getPrompts();
2.
3.  if(prompts != null && prompts.getCount()>0){
4.    String[] ls_parmValue = (String[])lmap_xiPromptValues.get(ls_promName);
5.        prompt.enterValues(ls_parmValue);
6.  }
7. document.setPrompts();


We are getting error at line #7.

Is 64-bits .NET SDK (BI Platform 4.1) available ?

0
0

Try to build an application that can manage users and have to be able to run on 32-bits and 64-bits. 

 

Already installed .NET SDK but DLLs are 32-bits . Get to get the following DLLs from BI servers where is 64-bits OS but the DLLs in 64-bits folder are actually 32-bits version.  Where I can get 64-bits SDK or DLLs?

 

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.User.dll

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.UserGroup.dll

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework.dll

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.PluginManager.dll

 

Another option is to use WSSDK but we are not sure how to get users from InfoStore and get user's properties and enable/ disable user accounts. Any C# sample codes for Web services if anyone know where.

LCM: Promoting CR with Dynamic Prompts

0
0

Hi,

 

We are running BI 4.1 SP5 and WebSphere 7.  We are not able to promote Crystal Reports with Dynamic Prompts.  The new environment does not show any values in the prompt.  We tried a simple test against the cms_aliases7 table and it does not appear to be working.  Has anyone gotten this to work in BI 4.1 SP5 and WebSphere 7?

 

We can get it to work by using the Business View Manager export/import, but we need to use Promotion Management.

 

Thanks,

Mike.

"Not a valid query. (FWB 00025)" error after changing description

0
0

I have a publication written a while ago for a report that is scheduled to run weekly. So far so good, the schedule works.

 

I had to change the schedule date and time so I modified it, First modification. After this, everything was still working great.

 

Second modification: I changed the description in the Summary section.

 

After this, now I can not edit the publication anymore, when I right-click on Properties, I get a Not a valid query. (FWB 00025) error.

Like BO didn´t have enough bugs...

 

Do I have to write the publication from scratch? Is there a way to recover it?

 

The funny thing is that I just run the publication in test mode and it works, seems the corruption is limited to the description (?).

 

Thank you

Juan Carlos

SSO Issue when using Load Balancer URL

0
0

We are facing an issue with SSO when using the load balancer URL, however it works when we use the actual server URL.

 

The environment is

BO 4.1 SP5 FP3

2 Application Servers + 2 Tomcat Web Servers + CISCO H/W Load balancer

 

We have also checked whether there is any duplicate SPN (using setspn -X) but there is nothing. Looks like all the necesary SPNs are created. When we enabled the kerberos trace in the client machine, we could see the below error

 

A Kerberos Error Message was received:

......

Error Code: 0x19 KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_REQUIRED

.....

 

Has anyone faced the similar issue?

Performance Issues with InfoView in SAP BO 3.1 Service Pack 5

0
0

Hi All,

 

We have seen severe performance issues with InfoView in SAP BO 3.1 Service Pack 5.

 

Below are some of the issues, our users are facing:

 

1. After entering the credentials in InfoView, sometimes it takes more than 3 mts to validate the credentials. Other times, the process happens pretty quickly like under a minute. So, not sure how to troubleshoot this.

 

 

2. After validation, sometimes the directory structure to load in InfoView takes more than 2 mts or so.

 

Please note, we have maximum of 3 - 4 users running the reports simultaneously and we have 5 user license. The reports are developed in Crystal Reports.

 

Not exactly sure, how to troubleshoot this. I will shortly post our server configuration, so you can give some recommendations.

 

Are there any general guidelines which we need to follow in order to improve the InfoView performance.

 

I would be grateful, if someone can guide me on this.

 

Thanks.

Setting up SSO - Multiple Windows AD Controllers

0
0

Hi,

 

I require clear steps on setting up SSO with multiple Windows AD domain controllers.

 

I have been able to successfully setup SSO with a single Windows AD Controller but I am not sure what to do to setup SSO with multople ones. I am using Vintela.

 

I have been looking at SAP Notes

1323391 - What are the requirements to perform SSO or manual authentication from multiple AD forests in XI 3.1 or later.

1245178 - krb5.ini rules of configuration with Business Objects java AD

 

It looks like the information is in here but i cant make sense of it. Can someone help de-crypt exactly what i need to do? Questions I have are:

 

1. Do I need to create keytab files for both domains and add them to the global.properties file?

2. Do I only need to update the krb5.ini file with both domains?

 

Thanks

Opendocument blank screen

0
0

Hello All,

 

When we open any opendoc URL once it gets authenticated through SSO, blank screen will show for around 10 sec in which only right hand side panel will be visible, please refer following image

1.png

After this screen the dialogue box stating processing document will come as below and then report will get displayed.

2.png

 

Environment:

BI 4.1 SP04 patch 2, clustered

Tomcat 7, clustered

Windows 2008

 

I have tried to narrow down the issue for individual nodes, tomcat, WIPS still the same behavior.

The issue is same for all our environments, Sandbox, TEST, PROD.

 

The expected behavior is as soon as the user gets authenticated the dialogue box "Processing Document" should come, having blank page users accessing the URL feels that its doing nothing and they close the window and repeat the process again.

 

Please let me know if its a default behavior/bug/some issue in our environment.

 

Thanks in advance

Hello All,

 

I know that we can use Alias using LDAP autentication with SSO in SAP BW , so the user do not worry about remember a different user or pass, ¿can we use the same funtionality using SAP HANA standalone Database so we can connect to SAP BW or SAP HANA in one single point?
