Hi Experts,

 

I would like your suggestions/Help on how to make my reports available in launch pad to run faster/proper.

 

Example: I tried executing a report earlier(2 days back), it was taking 34-40 seconds to refresh, now once i am trying to execute the report it is taking 10+ minutes, and appearing with out any data or any error message.

 

The servers in CMC, all are in running status, System memory is sufficient. What can go wrong ?

 

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

 

Thank you.

Active sessions BW not closing

Hi Everyone,

We are on a BO 4.1 system, and use IE 11.

 

I noticed in BW that the user sessions don't get killed when the user logs off from BO or closes the browser.

When I look in the CMC I don't see any active sessions.

 

Any idea where I can configure the sessions to close in BW?

 

Kind regards,

Dwain

couldnt connect to one of the clustered server box through thick clients.

Hi,

 

we have got two BOXI 3.1  boxes(Prod 1 a and Prod 2) which are clustered.I am not able to connect to Prod 2 from thick clients(rich client ,universe designer).but i am able to connect to Prod 1 from all the thick clients.Both the boxes are connecting through web clients as well(launchpad etc).

Error i am getting while im tryimg to log on:

 

[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Unable to log on: Could not connect to server xxxxxxxx.  Please check that the server name is correct, and that the server is running.

(hr=#0x80042a01).

 

I have checked the firewall settings and all the ports are also open.

 

Not making any sense for me as prod1 is working fine.

 

we have recently patched our Prod 1 and Prod 2 windows servers would that cause this issue?

 

Help please....

 

Thanks

Audit Bunches

$
0
0

I'm trying to understand the structure of the auditing tables in BI4.1.  For the most part, I am finding the new structure very useful.  But I am struggling with one thing:

 

Table ads_event_detail includes a column "BUNCH' which appears to iterate multiple EVENT_DETAIL_VALUEs within a single event, providing a way to tie name/value pairs.

 

But it doesn't appear to be implemented for all detail types. 

 

I am trying to tie universe CUIDs with names for Refresh events.  For a document with one universe, the result is straightforward:

EVENT_ID  EVENT_DETAIL_ID   EVENT_DETAIL_TYPE  BUNCH  EVENT_DETAIL_VALUE

12345                   1                  13      1  AdHWpjF6DAlAqEgwhROk0f8                   

12345                   2                  14      1  My Universe


But if the document has multiple universes, I just get multiple IDs and multiple names, with no way to tie them together::

EVENT_ID  EVENT_DETAIL_ID   EVENT_DETAIL_TYPE  BUNCH  EVENT_DETAIL_VALUE

12345                   1                  13      1  AdHWpjF6DAlAqEgwhROk0f8                   

12345                   2                  14      1  My Universe

12345                   3                  13      1  AQn9TNNH4h5MqVC6kk2cKss                   

12345                   4                  14      1  Universe 2


I would have expected that BUNCH would associate universe id and universe name like this:

 

But if the document has multiple universes, I just get multiple IDs and multiple names, with no way to tie them together::

EVENT_ID  EVENT_DETAIL_ID   EVENT_DETAIL_TYPE  BUNCH  EVENT_DETAIL_VALUE

12345                   1                  13      1  AdHWpjF6DAlAqEgwhROk0f8                   

12345                   2                  14      1  My Universe

12345                   3                  13      2  AQn9TNNH4h5MqVC6kk2cKss                   

12345                   4                  14      2  Universe 2


 

But that is not the case.

 

It seems that the event_detail_type is always ordered by universe id/universe name, but I can't be sure if that's guaranteed.

 

Am I looking at this the wrong way, or is there a better way to tie universe ID to universe name?

Unable to extract report instances triggered by Events

Hi BO folks,

Have a requirement to extract reports instances triggered by Events for specific time period in BOXI 3.1 environment. When tried, am able to extract the report instances which was ran through recurring instances (not based out of events) or ran on adhoc basis however the list has no instances triggered by Events.

 

I can retrieve the list of all recurrence schedules based out of Events but not the successful/failed instances.

 

Query to extract list of all recurrence schedules based out of Events:

SELECT SI_NAME, SI_OWNER, SI_PARENT_FOLDER, SI_INSTANCE, SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_STARTTIME, SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_ENDTIME,
SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_SUBMITTER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_RUNNABLE_OBJECT = 1 AND SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_DEPENDENCIES.SI_TOTAL > 0

 

Could you please help me with the query which will extract the report instances triggered by Events.

Hi,

 

So I am setting up Single Sign on with Windows AD.

 

When adding the keytab file to the configuration (global.properties) it doesnt work. I have used the note 1359035 to test the keytab file and the results are below:

 

Exception: krb_error 0 No supported key found in keytab for principal HTTP/XXX.XXX.COM@XXX.XXX.COM No error

KrbException: No supported key found in keytab for principal HTTP/XXX.XXX.COM@XXX.XXX.COM

        at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.main(Kinit.java:107)

 

Does that mean the keytab file hasnt generated correctly?

How to provide date range parameters in publication?

$

Hi,

 

I have created and scheduled a report using CMC publication, in this report we have 2 date parameters i.e. Start Date and End Date (in interactive filters) which are by default set to 'yesterday' and 'today', but while creating publication, it is again asking to set their initial values (where I selected as default values).

 

Since the publication is created to run this report automatically at the end of the day, thus we don't want to set these parameters manually everytime.

 

Please suggest is there any option to do that and why the publication is not setting the default values as selected?

 

We have SAP Business Objects enterprise version 14.0.7.

 

Thanks,

Hi Experts,

 

When we migrate the users only, is it a best practice to select the universes and connections associated with it or should we select when we promote the reports under Public Folder?
