Report hanging in Running Status - Crystal Server 2011

0
0


We have a report scheduled to run at 7:00AM every morning Monday - Friday. In the last week we have noticed that this report will show as running in CMC's instance manager more than an hour after it is scheduled to run. When this happens, we need to stop/start the print spooler and manually run the report from CMC. If we don't recycle the print spooler other jobs will stack up and show as running without indication they will complete or fail. Other reports may not show as running, but we will receive the failure notification we set up for them when restarting the print spooler.

 

Ou

 

r BI platform runs on a single node. Windows 2008 R2 64 bit. Our print servers are also running on 2008 R2 64 bit. Most printer are using the HP universal driver - HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.4).

 

Has anyone else had similar issues? What did you do to resolve it?


SAP BI Platform Documents and SAPGUI

0
0

Hello,

 

Can all SAP BusinessObjects documents that are working in SAP BI Launch Pad also work via the SAPGUI?  I have a customer that wants to have a single area for all of their reports.  They will be using several ECC reports, which are exposed through SAPGUI.  Therefore, any reports that we create in SAP BusinessObjects (i.e. WebI, CR, Lumira, Design Studio, etc.) will need to be available to them from SAPGUI.  Is this possible?  How is it done?

 

Thank you,

Crystal Report Application Server not staring

0
0

Hello everyone,

 

as the headline already tells you, I'm facing an issue with the crystal reports (2013) application server not starting. The status only changes to "stopped" if I stop the server or "being started" if I start or restart it. It never gets the status to "running" and remains "getting started" without assigning a PID to the server. There is no error message being shown in either the server overwerview nor in the logs.

 

 

This problem has just recently and suddenly appeared. I've already tried the follwing troubleshoots with no improvement:

 

  • starting / restarting the server
  • stopping the server and starting / restarting the server
  • force stopping and restarting the server
  • cloning the server
  • recreating the server
  • restarting the apache server the platform (BO 4.1) is running on

 

If anyone has a solution for this problem, please tell me.

 

Regards,

 

Robert

A way to setup explicit grant access

0
0

Hi guys. Here's a situation. We have a folder called "Chicago office" in WEBI. This folder can be accessed by many employees with view on demand access and inheritance to any sub folder. But now there is a need to have some HR (Human Resources) data for Chicago office. And this data is quite sensitive, so only few employees can see these reports. Logically would be to place HR folder inside "Chicago office" folder as this is Chicago office HR. However I have a real headache to figure out how to grant access to this HR folder only to few employees.

 

Solution 1: I remove the inheritance on HR folder for any existing employees/groups. And then set required permissions to those few employees.

Problem: If a new employee is required to have access to "Chicago office" folder, then setting this access would automatically give access to HR folder because of inheritance. So administrator would need to remove the inheritance from HR folder for every new user. Which is prone to errors...

 

Solution2: I put HR folder outside "Chicago office" (under top level) folder. Grant required access.

Problem: Could become a messy structure if more of such cases would come out

 

Solution3: any suggestions?

 

Goal: I want administrator to ALWAYS have to grant EXPLICITLY access in order to see that folder ("HR")

I'm not sure which rights to include, but have the granted the following access rights so far:

  • BI Launch Pad:  Send to Business Objects Inbox
  • BI Launch Pad:  Send to email destination
  • General:  Schedule document to run
  • System:  Inbox
  • Web Intelligence:  Desktop Interface - send by mail

I've also set the Top-Level User Security for Everyone to 'View' on all of the CMC Job Servers.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Gurus,

 

We installed SAP BI 4.1 SP05 on RHEL 6.5 linux server with default SQL Anywhere Database for CMS and Audit Database.

Installed drivers for UnixODBC and Microsoft SQL Server ODBC in Linux.

 

 

 

 

The problem is we have two odbc.ini files in two different location we added the MS SQL ODBC Data Source Details in both odbc.ini files

  1. /etc/odbc.ini
  2. $BOBJEDIR/enterprise_xi40/odbc.ini

 

 

When we are trying to connect a Microsoft SQL Server Database from Linux Server it is working fine.

 

Created one report using Web Rich Client and is working fine. We published this report on server and tried to access it from BI launchpad.

We are unable to refresh the report and getting below error. Not sure why this is happening. Is there any problem with odbc.ini file or anything else?

BI Launch Pad - View a folder of documents with hyperlinks

0
0

Hello all!

 

I am very very very new to the BI Platform, and BusinessObjects in general, and I am in the processing of customising a workspace for the Launch Pad.

 

I've noticed there is a built in Module as part of the BI Launch Pad Modules called "My Recently Run Documents" and was wondering if it is possible to either customise this module or create a new one in a similar fashion.

 

What I want to be able to do is create a list of all documents in a folder, and display them in the same way the "My Recently Run Documents" does, with links to the files inside the folder. Basically the same as the "My Recently Run Documents" module, but using files that are in a folder that I've created instead.

 

Is this possible through creating a BI Workspace or a Module, or is there a different way to achieve this?

Crystal report taking really long when there is a subreport in it.

0
0

Hello,

 

I have a Crystal Report with many sub reports in it. It consists of stored procedures. When I try to schedule it from our Dev environment it works fine. But when executed from Prod it takes really long time to finish. The database(SQL Server) for both the environments is same.

 

When I look in SQL Profiler while executing from Prod it runs all the suppressed sub-reports as compared to DEV.

 

I talked to SAP Support and they couldn't figure out yet.

 

Any one has faced this issue.

 

Thanks

Bursting a Report using Publication - actual end user requires add/delete rights to folder?

0
0

Hi,

 

I am SAP BI 4.1 and connecting to SAP BW which has line item authorisations for users setup. I have been able to setup a publication which emails each user a copy of a report to their inbox.

 

The report is held in folder in which i dont want users to be able to change/amend/refresh.

 

When carrying out the scheduling it fails unless the user which i am scheduling for is able to add or delete items to the folder in which the report i am trying to schedule? Is there any way around this and I doesnt make sense why this is the case? Any user could just delete the report which we are scheduling!

 

Cheers,

Unable to set the sort direction to no sort

Hi Team

 

I am trying to set the sort direction to no sort for the sorts using the below code and getting the exception followed.

 

Error: "Invalid sort direction"

 

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)

{

               m_ReportDoc.DataDefController.SortController.ModifySortDirection(m_ReportDoc.DataDefinition.Sorts[i],                     CrSortDirectionEnum.crSortDirectionNoSortOrder);

}

 

I am doing this to handle removing sorting on Groups. I am getting error if try to delete the default sort provided on the groups. Getting the invalid field error and SAP agreed that there a bug. So as an alternative when user tries to delete sort provided on group I am setting it to NoSort and not showing it to the user if the sort direction is no sort.

 

Please let me know how can we set the sort direction to No sort or how can we remove the sorts on the groups.

 

Regards

I had to completely uninstall and reinstall Business Objects XI 3.1.

 

The installation appeared to be complete successfully but now when I try to log into the CMC I get an error:

 

ServerName:6400 not found or Server may be down (FWM 01003)

 

So I immediately had a look in the CCM to check on the SIA.

But it is not listed there.

 

When I try to add SIA in the CMC it cannot connecto my server.

 

Can anyone please advise?

How to extract list of Tables used in a Webi Report using Java SDK - BI 4.1

Hi Experts,

 

I would like to extract the list of Tables used in a Webi report using Java SDK in BI 4.1. I am able to get the Data Provided/SQL Query of a Webi report successfully and I got stuck in getting the Table names from the Data Provider/SQL or from Webi Report.

 

Is there any way to get such information using Java SDK. I have gone through Report Engine SDK but I didn't find any such method/class to fulfill my requirement.

 

Kindly advise me on this.

 

Thanks in Advance.

 

Regards,

Madhu.
