BI inbox notification
Dear all,
If you send a document to the BI Inbox is it then possible to let the end-user know that he has a new document in his BI Inbox?
Or can the system automatically send an e-mail to the e-mail address of the end-user with this notification?
And we do not want to use the Home page of the BO platform where you have the unread messages in My Inbox (because our platform opens automatically on the Documents tab).
Kind regards,
Lieselot

The "Home" page doesn't display and keeps on refreshing when logging to BI Launchpad
Hello Experts,
We are using BI 4.1 SP3 with Tomcat 7.
We have 2 dev servers - Dev 1 & Dev 2 with the same setup of Business Objects.
The problem is with DEV 2 server where after logging into BI Launchpad, the "Home" page keeps on loading and the refresh clock goes on for more than 2.5 hrs. But if I click the "Document" tab it shows up correctly and quickly within 5 sec.
Also, I have notices some error on Home tab at the task bar which is as below:
Also, it's a surprise that the same configuration is done on DEV 1 server and "Home" tab is displaying correctly over there. I searched the forums for AFDashboardPageView.do errors but couldn't find anything relevant.
Please advise.
Appreciate your help & time.
Thanks,

Email Content Customization
We are on BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 SP5.
Basic email content configuration within CMC only support text based emails and does not support HTML. We would like to send out HTML rich emails to our users when a report is completed as a result of a schedule execution. In addition, we would also like to include additional information in the emails that isn't available through the placeholders but only through the SDK API. We are creating schedules through the API and users are not going through CMC or Launchpad.
I am interested in hear solution ideas. My research is just starting but for now the only ideas I have are following:
- Create a Crystal Reports processing extension - this option requires C++ programming and only applies to Crystal Reports. Further, processing extensions while supported in 4.1 do not seem to be in use much and support for future is unclear.
- Use File System (or FTP) destination and post process - this requires us to save users email information (to, cc, bcc, subject, etc.) somewhere and not as part of the destination (I think).
- Implement customization on the email server - we can look into this but not sure what options are available yet.
Thanks in advance for your time.

SAP authentication problem in BO 4.1
Hello.
I have strange situation with maintaining SAP authentication in our SAP BI Platform.
After we imported BW role in BO i try to logon under BW username, input system credentials, but get the folowing error:
"Account information not recognized: Access is denied."
Accidentally i discovered what if add the user as principal to any group (it could be newly created group or group of imported bw role) and assign him security " Edit objects" or "Edit objects that the user owns"
Then the user successfully logged in.
Can anybody explain why it happend?
And why i can't enter the BO without these dances with a tambourine?

SNC configuration
Hi All,
Currently we have configured SAP Authentication and it is working fine for logging in to BO. The Problem we are facing is as follows
Users are logging in to BI Launchpad with their Windows AD credentials and cretaing a Report based on a BICS Connection using SAP SSO. But getting the following following error while selecting the BICS Connection on BI Launchpad and WRC
SSO token or User password is empty
The user aliases from Win AD and SAP are mapped properly with simplename Format using the registry key method.
This seems to be a very well known error. I would like to know whetehr the error is due to SNC configuration. Currently we have not configured SNC on our Server. I understand that SNC is required only for .UNV universes connecting to BW.
But we are using only BICS Connection, so I understand that SNC configuration is not required for us. Is this correct ?
Our aim is to achieve SAP SSO whereas users are logging in using their Windows AD usernames.

Data provider with uniserve based on Excel is not refreshed.
Hello Guys,
I'm here again beucase sometimes BO issues are really tricky, and hard to understand its behaviour.
So here we go, the scenario that I have is:
- BO Version: BO4 SP1
- A connection was created based on a excel sheed (JavaBeans 'driver')
- Then a (stored procedure) universe was created with this connection.
- It is possible to use the universe in a Web Intelligence report, data appears. So far, so good.
But the problem:
After the report is created and the data is captured from the data provider, the data from the excel will never be refreshed again.
I mean, we push the "refresh" button on the report, but the old data remains there.
Even if I delete the excel file, the old data from the very first execution will remain there.
I was thinking about some parameters that manage cache in both services (servers) and Universe, but I found none.
In fact there is no possibility to change parameter for that stored procedure universe: the fields are disabled.
So, do you know how can I force the report to be refreshed when I'm using a stored procedure universe?
Note: I have the same behavior in both stand-alone and client-server universe.
Thank you very much in advance.

IDT connection gets changed when I enter cluster name
HI,
This is relaetd to BI 4.1 SP1.
I have three connection in IDT going to -
server1:6400
server2:6400
server3:6400
All is working fine. Now the server3:6400 has new cluster name now and it is @newcluster. When I logon to CMC i see the new cluster name in the login screen rather than server3:6400, which is good.
Now I cannot connect to BO system from IDT using server3:6400 but when I enter @newcluster instead of server3:6400, all works well.
The issue is that this it replaces the server1:6400 and server2:6400 with @newcluster, which is incorrect. It should not touch other connections.
Anybody came across situation?
Please advice.
Thank you,

SL SDK help required
Hi,
I am new to SL SDK. I am able to successfully retrieve an unx from repository and save it in local.
Now I want to extract its metadata.
Is there a way to identify whether the universe uses Multisourcedatafoundation or Monosourcedatafoundation other than verifying number of connection files getting downloaded.
If I have more views other than Master view in my Businesslayer how identify and access them through SL Sdk.

SAP BI 4.1 SP5 - enabling Live Office server component
Hi guys,
Hope you can help me with this issue.
I have a test deployment of SAP BI 4.1 SP5 on Windows Server 2012. It is configured as Single Sign-On deployment.
My client wants to use Live Office (LO) to integrate MS Office with SAP BI content from the installed platform.
I understand that there is a LO client component which is installed on user desktops that have MS Office.
I have some questions related to LO server components:
1. Is there a special process to enable LO server component ? SAP documentation implies that LO is enabled once you apply the SAP license for the LO product. Is this correct ?
2. I have applied the LO license key on the server . Is this enough to get the LO server component enabled ? How do I verify this ?
3. Basically, what is a correct process of enabling LO server components in Windows environment (with SSO configured)?
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Documenting BO reports
Hello Experts!
I have a requirement to study over 500 report templates to make a project decision
The below needs to be documented
- Universe(s) used
- Objects used - object & filter pane
- Custom SQL (if any)
- Report created date
- Report last refreshed date
- Reoprt last updated date
While some of them can be obtained via Query Builder, most of them cannot be.
We are running on BOXi R3.1 SP7, and we need the above for WebI , Crystal & Full Client reports
I know I am being greedy, but is there a utility which we can run to achieve this? 
Any suggestions would be helpful
Thanks in advance..!

SAP BI 4.1 SP5 - how to configure SSO for OpenDocument (Windows, Tomcat)
Hi guys,
Hope you can shed some light here.
We have a new deployment of SAP BI 4.1 SP5 with Tomcat on Windows Server 2012. We have configured SSO for BI Launchpad and it's working.
We have a need to modify behaviour of OpenDocument URL so that a user does not have to log into the platform when he/she selects OpenDocument URL from an EXPORTED or EMAILED document.
Usage Scenario:
-------
For example, on my client's BI 3.1 platform, a user gets an emailed report in Excel format with a hyperlink to a platform report. At the moment, when user clicks the link he gets prompted to log onto the platform (through Enterprize authentication). We want to avoid this behaviour.
-----
What we want in our new BI 4.1 platform, is a silent SSO via OpenDocument so that user gets to the URL-ed report in the platform without any prompt.
Is this possible in BI 4.1 ?
Would you be able to provide some pointers as to how to configure this in my environment ?
Are there any SAP notes on this process in BI 4.1 ?
Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Davor Mitrasevic
