Publication using multiple values in the dynamic user list

0
0

Hello Everyone,

 

I have been trying to schedule a publication using the dynamic user list. We have webi report which has the object for "Marketing Fare Basis" and dynamic user list also contains the same field.

 

We have successfully scheduled this publication for the dynamic users, however we have found that when we specify multiple fare basis for any particular user in the dynamic user list then it does not work.

 

Following is the dynamic list we have used which did not work.

 

 

Marketing Fare BasisEmail
RACPabc@xxxxxxxx.com
RTBE;BTWE;UTAExyz@xxxxxxxx.com
BJGN;RJGNpqr@xxxxxxxx.com

 

This publication has successfully delivered the report to user abc, however it failed to deliver to the users xyz and pqr.

 

Source document has the prompt for marketing fare basis and specifying multiple values while viewing this report works fine.

 

We have found that publication does not work when we specify multiple marketing fare basis in the dynamic user list as RTSBAE;BTSBAE;UTSBAE(using the semicolon).

 

If we specify these marketing fare basis values line by line in the dynamic user list then it works fine. We have used the following dynamic user list which has worked fine.

 

Marketing Fare BasisEmail
RACPabc@xxxxxxxx.com
RTBExyz@xxxxxxxx.com
BTWExyz@xxxxxxxx.com
UTAExyz@xxxxxxxx.com
BJGNpqr@xxxxxxxx.com
RJGNpqr@xxxxxxxx.com

 

Later we have found one more problem that the above successful publication has actually sent the PDF files for all of the fare basis individually i.e. it has sent 3 PDF files to xyz user and 2 PDF files to pqr user.

 

Whereas it should have sent only 1 PDF file to each of these users i.e. 1 PDF file to abc user for the "RACP" marketing fare basis, 1 PDF file to xyz user for RTBE,BTWE,UTAE and 1 PDF file to pqr user for BJGN,RJGN.

 

So our observation is, It simply did not merge the data into a single PDF file. We had selected the merge option while scheduling this publication.

 

I would like to know whether anyone has faced the same issue with the publication or not and whether we have any option to merge the data into a single PDF file for the multiple marketing fare basis using the dynamic user list. Can we use , or ; to specify multiple values in the dynamic user list?

 

Appreciate all your help.

Send email to user when report lands in their inbox

Hi,

 

I will be scheduling reports using publications to users inbox. Is there a way an email can be sent to the users automatically in this process so that they are aware they need to login into SAP BI 4 launchpad? Even including a link to the report in their inbox would be good?

 

Cheers,

Web Intelligence - Authorisations issue

Hi,

 

I have a requirement to now allow users to edit a report, that is press the edit button and make changes.

 

i have setup a access level without edit functionality but when a user tries to drill down on a hierarchy or uses any of the functions. For example, linked objects where the chart is updated. I get a message saying user does not have rights to edit the report.

 

Is there a way i can allow the user to drill down and use interactive functionality. But not use the edit button/

 

SAP BI 4.1 SP2 is what we are using.

WEBI Reports Bi Platform 4.1

0
0

Hello All

 

I'm getting a strange issue with a suite of WEBI reports in Page Mode.

 

I developed them a while ago and they all seemed to be OK. However the users are putting in a new period(it's one of the prompts) and this is causing serious issues.

 

One report that should only have 66 pages has 107,815 !!! But If I remove the 'Repeat - Headers on Each Page' option then it goes back to 66 pages.

This is not ideal as the users want to print in PDF and see the headers on each page.

I'm not sure why the Table Header on each page would cause this to happen.


I've tried all sorts of formatting changes , but as long as the table Headers are there the issues occurs.


Has anyone come across a similar issue, and if so , was there a fix?


Thanks


Rob

Export Crystal to PDF giving ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file error

0
0

Hello,

We have code that we are trying to use which is supposed to pull a Crystal Report and export into a PDF but are having an issue.

 

QueryHelper q = new QueryHelper(boeHelper);

 

String strQuery = "Select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where  SI_CUID='" + strCUId + "'";

IInfoStore infoStore = boeHelper.getInfoStore();

IInfoObjects iInfoObjects = infoStore.query(strQuery);

 

if (iInfoObjects == null || iInfoObjects.size() == 0) {

  throw new ReportingException("Error getting the report ID from Business Objects");

}

else {

 

  IInfoObject iDocObject = (IInfoObject) iInfoObjects.get(0);

  IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession = boeHelper.getSession();

 

  IReportAppFactory reportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("RASReportFactory");

 

  ReportClientDocument clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();

        clientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(iDocObject, 0, java.util.Locale.US);

 

        ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) clientDoc.getPrintOutputController()

    .export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);

 

}

 

The Code works fine all the way down to the export line itself.  When that line executes, we get the following error:

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal

 

We did get another error first: com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.ManagedRASException: Cannot open report document. --- File Repository Server error : The authentication credentials do not permit the operation. (FWB 00061)  But I was able to get around this one by setting the appropriate permissions on the folders for downloading an object.

 

We do have a general class QueryHelper, which is just a wrapper to do the mundane stuff like logon and establish sessions and iinfostore but that works.

 

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Nathan

Utility to switch connections

0
0

Does anyone know of any good utilities out there that can help us switch the connection used in Analysis for OLAP reports and/or Dashboard queries?  For whatever reason (created before my time), we have two connections that point to the same BW system, and have many reports/dashboards for both of them.  We'd like to remove one of the connections, to avoid confusion with end users, but need to point the existing reports to the other connection.  We also have a good number of Web Intelligence reports for both connections; even though it's easy to switch a connection for a WebI report, it would be nice to not have to do it one report at a time.

 

Thank you


Deny new reports with connection, but grant existing reports to same connection

Is there a way to prevent users from using a specific connection when creating new reports, but still be able to view existing reports that use that same connection?  We have two connections pointed to the same system, and are planning on removing one of the connections.  However, it may take us a while to switch the existing reports to the other connection.  In the meantime, we'd like to prevent users from creating more content with the connection that we plan on removing.

 

Thank you

BO webi Report size handling in Publication

Hi,

 

We have created the  reports in Web Intelligence and those reports are distributed to users through Publication.. Publication is using the "Dynamic Recipients" to personalize the user's data... There is chance to have more volume around 70 MB for the whole report data and publication will split up the data to all customer in dynamic recipient list... I am aware that Webi report support only 50 MB file export,,, Is the same limitation was applied for Publication as well?

4.1 Promotion management and Business View not promoted

0
0

We use sp5 on a 4.1 platform for Crystal Server -

 

I am using the Promotion Management tool for the first time.  I migrated a large amount of Crystal Reports, which worked great.  However the Crystal reports that use List of Values created in the Business View Manager did not work.  Looking at the Repository in the Destination Server, all the list of values were promoted, along with the business elements.  However the Business view or the Data Foundation was not promoted.  All the dependencies were checked in the promotion manager. 

 

That makes all my reports with dynamic parameters based on a LOV, useless.

 

is this a bug ?

BI Launch Pad change title after uploading document

I just watched the "survey" tutorial.  The Title is autopopulated with the document name.   Can you change the Title after the document has been uploaded?   Haven't been to training or installed the software yet, and the BI Launch Pad User Guide 4.1 SP06 didn't say if you could do this or not.   thanks

Crystal Surpress no values nodes in BW hierarchy.

0
0

We are using Crystal Report s for Enterprise 4 with BW, and we are trying to use a BW hierarchy in the report.

 

Our problem is that the hierarchy we create displays all node and children, even if their are no values.

 

For example:

 

WW

     EU

          FR

          DE

          GE

     NA

          US

          CA

     etc

 

 

 

The way our reports works, we would display every country in the world in our display.  Is there a way to only show those nodes with postings?  This is the way the OLAP and Excel Analysis tools work.

 

Thanks you;
