Error Webi Report BO 4.0 Colums 0,#IND

Hi,

 

we have a problem since upgrade from BO XI R2 SP2 to BO 4.0 SP11. After refreshing a report we get an error in some colums '0,#IND'. We checked the database and our universum, it seems ok. We imported all data to another server and the same report is ok. At our production server running Kaspersky Antivir - can this result an error like 0,#IND?

We are having this issue now. Appreciate if someone can shed some light please.

 

Prior getting to this error, the oracle repository was terminated. But right now we have make sure our Oracle repository is up and running, so does the SIA. But still we are unable logon to BO. It seems that BO unable to communicate to the CMS/repository.

Hi,

 

Is it possible to fetch run time of each queries in a dashboards from Audit Database.

 

When I initially run the dashboard I could see 6 entries with different Event Detail value in the AUDIT.

 

Later when different selection is made and another query is executed that event is not logged in the AUDIT.

 

Below is the query am using

 

SELECT

a.session_id,

b.event_id,

a.object_name,

a.user_name,

((a.duration_ms/1000)) as "duration_secs",

d.object_type_name,

a.start_time,

b.event_detail_value

FROM

dbo.ads_event a,

dbo.ADS_EVENT_DETAIL b,

dbo.ads_event_detail_type_str c,

dbo.ads_object_type_str d

WHERE

a.event_id = b.event_id

and b.event_detail_type_id = c.event_detail_type_id

and c.language = 'EN'

and a.object_type_id = d.object_type_id

and d.language = 'EN'

aND

d.Object_Type_name= 'Dashboards'

and

a.Event_Type_ID = 1003

--group by a.session_id,b.event_id,a.object_name,a.user_name,d.object_type_name,a.start_time

order by a.Start_Time desc

Issue with running report with Cascading Dynamic Parameters as a user

$

I recently migrated some crystal reports from CR XI to BO 4.1 and some of the reports have Cascading Dynamic Parameters

 

I was able to successfully run these reports when I log into BI Launchpad as an Administrator and the dynamic parameters where displayed for me to pick a value

 

However when I tried to run these reports when logged in  as an AD user the dynamic parameters are not getting populated with values

 

I have searched through the forum and tried what was suggested here https://scn.sap.com/thread/3722041 but it didn't work

WIReportServer CPU consuming more than 90%

We are experiencing issues with the BO Server, the WIReportserver process is consuming a lot of CPU resources lately, when we check in top command, more than 90% of CPU is consuming for some pid's , I've been looking for a solution, but I haven't found it yet, Is there a configuration to avoid this behavior? or Do you know possible  causes?, because I've only found a configuration of disabling the Indexing of Universes, but had been previously set on that way on the Server.

How to change the name of the instance in Publication history

$

Hello All,

 

I have created a publication using a Web I as dynamic recipient list. While destination was email, I was able to rename the file attachment and subject as per my needs (Using a column from report to rename the report pdf attachment). But when click on the publication history in BI launchpad, the name of the instance is still the default name created by BOBJ (<report name>: <random number>)

I was wondering if there is a way to change the name of the instance as well that we can see on BI launchpad in similar fashion as the one sent out. Please suggest.

 

Thanks in advance.

I've been tracking a correlation between the LDAP update and the CMS crash since we moved to BI 4.0 SP05.  Currently on BI 4.1 SP04, and testing a quick move from that to SP05.

Good day everyone,

 

Is there a way to bypass the launchpad credentials so a report can be automatically displayed in the web browser without asking for username and password?

 

For what I've found on the forums and  I understand so far there is Single Sign On feature but it used to connect to another systems for example to connect SAP BO to SAP ERP.  

 

Any idea to make this simple would be nice,

 

Thanks in advance.

I've been searching for some information about this issue:

 

We have some publications based on a webi report on production environment that loses the source document after promoting it from other environment.

 

So the associated scheduling jobs becomes corrupted.

 

Does anyone knows about this issue in SAP BO BI 4.1 SP03 patch 4?

 

Thanks in advance,

Find hard code text in crystal reports/Webi

How to find hard coded text in multiple Crystal reports and Webi?


A way to see the maximum number of sessions (on a day)

$
0

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to list in some way the maximum number of (different) users were logged into the BI-Platform during a day.

 

Reason : suppose you are licensed or 100 concurrent users

 

A BI-Admin can look at any moment in CMC to see the number of open sessions. But that number can vary every minute.

 

In order to predict whether it is time to buy more concurrent licenses, one should know what the maximum number of users logged in was in a day.

 

Suppose that number always vary between 95  and 98 then it is almost for sure that on a certain day, there will be an 101th user who wants to log in, but cannot anymore.

 

So it would be very good to know pro-actively whether that is going to happen soon or not.

 

I was thinking to use the Auditing-database (universe), but at the first thoughts, I do not think there is a way to retrieve it easily.

 

Has somebody any idea how this info can be obtained ?

 

Many thanks.

Unable to perform loadbalancer after Apache Web Split on Cluster

$

Hi Gurus,

 

Installed SAP BI Platform SP05 on two machine(A,B) and performed clustered on A,B everything is working fine. Done Apache Web Split on A

and it is working fine and i want to implement Load Balancer  on both tomcats of A & B.

 

 

 

When i used below script in workers.properties file in Apache2.4

 

# Name the Load Balancer ajp13 to leverage wdeploy auto-config

worker.list=ajp13

worker.ajp13.type=lb

# Balance workers from each of the application server nodes

worker.ajp13.balance_workers=winbiserv1,winbiserv2

 

# Define the first member worker winbiserv1

worker.winbiserv1.type=ajp13

worker.winbiserv1.host=winbiserv1

worker.winbiserv1.port=8009

# Define preferred failover node for winbiserv1

worker.winbiserv1.redirect=winbiserv2

 

# Define the second member worker winbiserv2

worker.winbiserv2.type=ajp13

worker.winbiserv2.host=winbiserv2

worker.winbiserv2.port=8010

# Define preferred failover node for winbiserv2

worker.winbiserv2.redirect=winbiserv1

 

# Define the status worker to monitor load balancer

worker.list=lbstatus

worker.lbstatus.type=status

worker.lbstatus.mount=/lbstatus

and modified both servers A&B server.xml files with JvmPort. Everything is working fine.

But if the server A tomcat is down it has to redirect to Server B tomcat. But its failing to reach the server B.

If B is down and A is up then it is working.

Is it because of Apache Split am facing this issue ?

Migrating SQL Express DB to SQL Server

$

Hi,

 

I have a system where I want to migrate the CMS / Audit DB to SQL Server.

 

The steps I plan to take are:

 

1. Setup CMS and Audit DB on SQL Server

2. Configure ODBC Connections to SQL Server

3. Disable all users - so no changes are made. (Any quick way to do this?)

4. Copy the Databases from SQL Express to SQL Server

5. Re-direct the BI 4.1 install to SQL Server Databases.

 

Anything I missed? Any other approaches? Anything I should be concerned/wary of? Just want to break the system!

 

Cheers

Landscape - Patching

Hi,

 

I just wanted to get a appreciation of the best practices / what people do in reality in relation to landscape and patching.

 

We have a Development, Test and Production System.

 

If we were to patch a system and test it - do we also need a patching test system?

 

If we applied patches to Development and breaks something we would have to roll back. Also, this could impact development?
