Hi,

 

 

Using bo4.

 

We are looking to consider a procedure whereby a simple report will run each time say 10 minutes anytime the service intelligence agents have started.

 

We would then e-mail a group if the job fails.

 

What is best way to achieve this?

 

At moment everyday report runs at 4.30 a.m. and the service desk have instructions to restart the servers if an e-mail not sent out by 5.00. a.m.

 

However, if second restart fails have no knowledge of this until user alerts us after which we would restart servers.

Thanks

Hi

 

After upgrading from Patch 4 to Patch 5 we are experience problem in Crystal Reports 2013 using Universe that contains Stored Procedure in Oracle.

 

We get the following error:

The viewer could not process an event. Error in File [the filename, which I have removed]:

Unknown Database Error []

---- Error code: 0 [CRWEB00000119]

 

By downgrading one of the servers to Patch 4 and run the Crystal services on it, we could confirm that this was related to the Patch 5 installation.

 

Anyone experienced this?

 

Best regards, Torfi

Hi,

 

I plan to migrate all of my company's dashboards, which are currently produced by a custom legacy software to SAP tools.The data sources for them are excel files produced using WEBI or database connections.

 

Researching a little bit on Design Studio (and knowing that the use of HANA is prohibited in this case), it's data restrictions of 5000 rows makes it impossible to recreate all the present dashboards there. So, I'm looking at all 3, WEBI, Explorer and Design Studio in order to redistribute the dashboards, perhaps eliminate the heavier ones, or change the way information is represented to make the given data and available SAP application compatible. S

 

So, when analyzing the current dashboards, how should I be deciding which dashboards should go where in the SAP BI tools?

(For instance, the size of the underlying data, the complexity of operations needed to be performed on the data, etc)

 

Any kind of comparative analysis on these 3 tools and suggestions are welcome!

 

Best,

Sakshi

Hi,

 

Hope you guys can help me with some issues I am facing while doing platform content migration from BO 3.1 SP2 to BO 4.1 SP5.

 

Source platform:

 

- about 480 users

- 80 universes

-  300 Deski reports

-  480 webi reports

 

The source BO 3.1 platform is setup as Single Sign-On.

 

I wanted to do a test incremental migration via UMT tool live-to-live.

I scoped this migration to just: Users and Groups (all) , all Universes and just one test folder with 5 Deski reports.

I run the migration as administrator on both ends.

 

During run of UMT reported errors related to user migration (various type of errors, some related to licensing of concurrent users, etc.)

 

In the end, all Universes are imported, some of the users but more disturbingly the test folder with 5 Deski reports has not been imported.

 

Questions:

 

1. Any idea as to why this report folder has not been imported to the destination ?

 

2. Can UMT tool migrate Deski reports to BO 4.1 at all ? I know that deski is not supported in 4.1 and that they need to be converted. But is it just possible to migrate them first and then convert them later ?

 

3. Does Single Sign-On on the source platform somehow affects the migration as I have not setup Single Sign-On on destination platform yet ?

 

Your feedback is badly needed.

 

Many thanks.

 

Regards,

 

Davor Mitrasevic

Hi,

 

I have some macro to recalculate the total page number for all Sheets / Reports in my document.

The macro was coded After_DocumentRefresh.

 

I am able to run it on Desktop Intelligence but after exported to Infoview, it can't run.

 

Understand that the macro might not be executed due to compatibility with the web server. Tested schedule it, not able to execute the macro either.

 

Just wonder any other alternative / settings that I could miss out so that my macro can be executed in Infoview so I can get the total pages for my entire document ?

 

Thanks.

Hi Experts,

 

Attached are the list of vulnerabilities that has been sent across from the security team when scanning the BO XI 3.1 SP 3 Fp 3.6

 

Could you please let me know if these vulnerabilities are resolved in later versions of BO ? Probably BI 4.1 SP5 Patch 2?

 

I believe it could be as BI 4.1 SP5 is bundled with Tomcat 7. But if you could confirm I would really appreciate .

 

When searching for it I found the following discussion, but did not understand much about it

Please advise.

Hello Experts,

 

I am facing this issue in Crystal Server 2013. Is there a way to update an existing crystal report file published in Central Management Console without deleting. When i try to upload the same report with updates, it throws an error, duplicate report exists it cannot be added... I know we can do it from crystal report client by connecting through a repository and saving it there. I want to know if its possible without using the client repository as we don't have the connection setup from client.. Please share your experience.

We are trying to change the default document title when it's sent to BI Inbox. For example, the title of a Webi document appears in the BI Inbox as  "My_File : 12345" and what we want is the title to be like "My_File".

 

Is there any option to do this by default?

I noticed that in a Cross tab table report format, #Multivalue is displaying on Last Log Solution column and after researching I found that the service desk Analyst entered 2 log solutions in the same ticket within few seconds after submitting the first one. Is it possible to display only the last one by using a relevant formula rather than having to tweak the current SQL query using max() query ?
