Want to Dsiplay a Report version in LCMBIAR file. Is there a way?

0
0

Hi

We are delivering BO report to our customers through lcmbiar file. Some times what
happens is the import/update of lcmbiar file is not successful at customer end.
So we are not able to identify if the customer is having correct version or
not.

  

Is there a way we could stick a version string in the lcmbiar file per report basis
say in BusinessObjects.xml and identify the Version in the report in WebI. I
want to set the version in the report say lcmbiar(which is basically a ZIP)
file at build time and make sure that thi sis reflected after importing in BO
Server.

  

Any solutions?

  

Thanks

Hello,

 

We have just upgraded our SAP BI to 4.1 SP6 Patch 1 partly to allow a user running Mac OS to access the SAP BO portal and Web Intelligence.

His configuration should be compatible (I check the SAP requirements) but he still cannot connect to the portal, is there any manual action to do?

 

User configuration:

 

Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.3

Safari 8.0.6

Chrome 43.0.2357.132

 

Thanks,

Mathieu

ERROR_INTERNET_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED

Hello,

We're facing what seems to be a cert issue but is client specific. On my machine I can go to BOBJ https and all is fine every single time. On another machine when I go to BOBJ https the UI doesnt load properly and with http watch I can see error ERROR_INTERNET_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED when first go to url. We use x509 certs with nwsso. Cert is fine on both machines. I make IE prompt for client cert and I can see it is fine. Same nwsso version. I matched up IE settings but cant seem to find out why on certain clients never an issue while other clients have this issue. Using same user ofcourse. Any suggestions on what to look for is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How to remove a temporary CMS created during SP update from the cluster?

0
0

Hello Everyone,

 

Following is my situation: I have a 2 node clustered environment with SAP BI 4.1. I have performed an SP5 update on it recently. I have started the parallel update of the 2 CMS nodes (let's say CMS1, and CMS2) and during the update, the installation was stuck on the "Initializing CMS" step on both nodes for more than a hour. I have ended the installation thinking that I can repair it later. But what I observed in the servers section of CMC is that a temporary CMS that was created by the installation programming exists (it has a long string, for example: BAdgVaQsdYcTL2ukdH42afgq), I guess its the CUID as its server name), but it is in the stopped state. My 2 original CMSs are running and enabled. I looked into the CMC Home > Settings > Cluster, following is what I see:

 

CMS Name: BAdgVaQsdYcTL2ukdH42afgq (CorrectSIAName)

Cluster Name: CorrectClusterName:6400

Cluster Members: BAdgVaQsdYcTL2ukdH42afgq (SIAName2)

                           CMS1.CentralManagementServer (SIAName1)


I tested running some WebI reports, did some query builder queries to make sure CMS is recording data correctly, tried a few more things. Everything seems to be working fine but I am not sure how. I want to remove the temp CMS from the cluster and add the CMS2 to the cluster and get the system working normally. I am also afraid that if I keep the system running this way now, I might have problems in the future when performing another update.

 

Please let me know if you need any more information.

 

Please provide any suggestions or share your experience on how to delete the temp CMS from my cluster and add the correct CMS to the cluster.

 

Thanks for your help,

Sunil

BI v4.1 Explorer performance issue

We were having issues with Explorer on BI v4.0; SAP suggested us to upgrade to version 4.1.

We installed BI V4.1 SP6 but still have issues with Explorer performance, cpu & memory utilization on server are well under acceptable limits.

Logged a ticket with SAP support, SAP support is not able to investigate cause as this issue with explorer is not consistent.

The standard reply from SAP support is to just restart explorer services.

Have anyone faced issues with explorer on v4.1? any suggestions/comments?

 

Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

SAP Lumira Desktop Edition: "Could not connect to Central Management Server (CMS)": error

0
0

Hi experts,

 

Hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

 

I wanted to test drive SAP Lumira Desktop with SAP Lumira Server for BI Platform.

 

When I try to connect to my BI platform to get a Universe as my data source I get error:

 

"Connection failed: Could not connect to Central management Server (CMS)." error.

 

Please note that I did provide: correct system name, user and password as well as a correct authentication type.

 

I have the following deployment, all on the same Windows Server 2008 R2 machine:

 

  • SAP BI 4.1 SP4 Platform
  • SAP Lumira Server for BI Platform v 1.27
  • SAP Lumira Desktop Standard Edition V1.27

 

I looked into my BI platform services and I can see that my LumiraServer is running happily.

 

I am just confused by this error as on the surface everything looks OK.

 

I would greatly appreciate if you could provide some hints as to the cause of this problem.

 

Regards,

 

Davor Mitrasevic

How to make a Java Program Object that can run on InfoView or LaunchPad?

0
0

Hi All,

 

I have been using SAP BO Java SDK for a while now to connect to BO Repository and access different kinds of data. It has been extremely useful in a ton of situations. Links like Shawn Penner's Blog neatly explains on how to write these codes and execute them as a part of AdminTools.

 

So far, I have used SDK as JSP that is kept in AdminTools and is executed via Internet Explorer. I have also written & ran Java code from Eclipse to access information. Now I'm trying to export the code as a JAR file and I want to upload it to BO as Program Object so that I can run it them from InfoView/LaunchPad and not Eclipse or AdminTools.

 

How do I modify my code - say the below one - for that purpose? Could you please guide me through the steps? This code prints all the parameters used in the scheduled instances of a WebI report. It's only a sample without any try-catch blocks or exception handling.

 

Needless to say that I'm not at all a Java expert. Also, it would be great if someone can answer this as an SCN Document so that everyone can use the same concepts.

 

import all the required stuff;
public class paramsInScheduledInstances{  public static void main(String[] args) throws SDKException{        Scanner scanner1 = new Scanner( System.in );        System.out.print("Enter user name : ");        String userName = scanner1.nextLine();               System.out.print("Enter password : ");        String password = scanner1.nextLine();               System.out.print("Enter System Name : ");        String envmnt = scanner1.nextLine();                System.out.print("Enter parent CUID : ");        String parentCUID = scanner1.nextLine();               IEnterpriseSession eSession = null;        System.out.println("Connecting...");        ISessionMgr sessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();        eSession = sessionMgr.logon(userName, password, envmnt,"secEnterprise");        System.out.println("Connected!");               IInfoStore iStore = (IInfoStore) eSession.getService("InfoStore");        IInfoObjects objs = iStore.query("Select * from ci_infoobjects where SI_PARENT_CUID = '"+ parentCUID +"'");               for (int i=0; i<objs.size(); i++){         IInfoObject report = (IInfoObject)objs.get(i);                 IProperties prompts = (IProperties) report.getProcessingInfo().properties().getProperty("SI_WEBI_PROMPTS").getValue();                            int num_prompts = ((Integer) prompts.getProperty("SI_TOTAL").getValue()).intValue();                for (int nPromptNameIndex = 1; nPromptNameIndex <= num_prompts; nPromptNameIndex++) {          Integer propNum = new Integer(nPromptNameIndex);              IProperties prompt = (IProperties) prompts.getProperty(propNum).getValue();                                      IProperties promptValue = (IProperties) prompt.getProperty("SI_VALUES").getValue();              String strTotalValue = promptValue.getProperty("SI_TOTAL").getValue().toString();              Integer IntTotalValue = new Integer(strTotalValue);                  int numPromptValues = IntTotalValue.intValue();                                 String     promptDataValues="";              for (int nPromptValueIndex = 1; nPromptValueIndex <= numPromptValues; nPromptValueIndex++) {                   Integer propvalueNum = new Integer(nPromptValueIndex);                   String  strpropvalueNum = propvalueNum.toString();                   String  singlePromptVal = promptValue.getProperty(strpropvalueNum).getValue().toString();                                      if(nPromptValueIndex == 1)                        promptDataValues = singlePromptVal;                   else                        promptDataValues = promptDataValues + ";" + singlePromptVal;              }                            System.out.println(promptDataValues);                                           }        }               if(eSession != null)         eSession.logoff();         }  
}

 

Thanks a lot,

Adding as new server for Lumira For BI Platform

0

I want to add a new server to our single server dev environment BI4.1 sp 6 ( CMS , Web Tier on Windows 2008) to try out Lumira , I am quite comfortable about doing the install and the platform component but have a few questions around the web tier

 

1. Do need to spilt out the web tier to effectively giving me a 3 server set up ?

2. If I don't need a separate machine for the web tier , do I need to cluster the tomcat instances on both machines or do I only need Tomcat on one machine ?

 

 

Any comment gladly received and if anyone can share any experiences of doing something similar that would be great

 

Thanks in advance

Crystal Server 2013 admin issues after fresh trial install

After a complete default install and trying to run the SAP Crystal Server Central Management Console I get a web page with this data on it:

 

.NET          System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Tcp channel protocol violation: expecting preamble. at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpSocketHandler.ReadAndMatchPreamble() at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpSocketHandler.ReadVersionAndOperation(UInt16& operation) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpServerSocketHandler.ReadHeaders() at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpServerTransportSink.ServiceRequest(Object state) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.SocketHandler.ProcessRequestNow()

 

If I try to run http://<servername>:8080 I get a download and the download contains the following text:

 

.NET                   h   Server encountered an internal error. To get more info turn on customErrors in the server's config file.    

 

The Tomcat Configuration comes up if I Run as Administrator and appears to be configured correctly.

 

What will fix this?

 

I installed to Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS and installed from CRS_2013_SP1_SERVER_COMP_WIN__64B__ directory after extracting the archive 51046786_1.zip.

 

I really wanted to run without having to install Tomcat and subversion and SQL Anywhere it that is possible.

 

TIA,

Tim

Business View Manager - Dynamic Data Connections

0
0

Dear Experts,

 

I am using CR 2008 - BOXI 3.1.

 

CR has a main + 2 sub reports. The report queries are 3 different Business Views on Business View Manager. Here are the issues:

 

1     In the data foundation, when I paste my sql code it dosent copy the entire code. It appears there is a character / file size limit. Is that true? Anyways to change it?

2     Since there are 3 views, I get the connection choice 3 times (1 for each view). Is there a way to pass the selection choice from one parameter to the other 2 & that way the user dosent have to select it 3 times?

3 I tried to avoid the sub reports by adding multiple connections in the main report & Crystal will not like it. Throws out this error:

 

"Business View connections cannot be mixed with other connections"

 

I do have 3 connections but then they are all Business View connections. Any workarounds?

 

Thanks

BO session on BW

0

Dear All,

 

  As we are using only one OLAP connection between BO and BW system for all the reports and dashboards. So whenever we are refreshing the report, in BW system Dialog user session creates because we are using only one communication user for OLAP connection. Due to this sometimes BW system hangs and causing lot of performance issue. Is there any solution to set the session in background in BW system. Please suggest your valuable inputs.

 

Thanking you in anticipation.
