Hi Guys,

 

I setup SSO on Business Objects 4.1 SP6 with AD/Tomcat , followed all the suggested steps but keeps running into the following issue when I launch the BI Launchpad as follows. We are not using SSL in this case.

 

HTTP Status 500 - com.wedgetail.idm.sso.ProtocolException: com.wedgetail.idm.spnego.server.SpnegoException: GSSException: Failure unspecified at GSS-API level (Mechanism level: com.dstc.security.kerberos.KerberosException: Could not decrypt service ticket with Key type 18, KVNO 5, Principal "HTTP/bisdox.xxx.com@AD.xxx.com" using key: Principal: [1] _svc-bobj@AD.xxx.com TimeStamp: Fri Sep 25 09:36:12 CDT 2015 KVNO: -1 EncType: 18 Key: 32 bytes, fingerprint = [47 38 25 a b9 4f bd 5b 5d 4a 1c 35 b2 4c 42 aa] Exception for this key was: com.dstc.security.kerberos.CryptoException: Integrity check failure[Note: principal names are different; this may or may not be a problem] [Note: KVNO used wildcard match, not exact match; perhaps the password used to generate this key is not the most recent password?] )

 

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions on troubleshooting this issue.

I am looking for options to configure End to End SSO from Frontend/Laptop to BO to BW system. I found 2 options but those are not End to End. Can you please let me know if we have any option where we can configure full SSO from Frontend to BO to BW.

 

 

Attached is the screen showing 2 options i have. Let me know if i have any other alternate options .

 

Can i use SAML in any of these options to get complete  SSO setup.

Dear Experts,

 

Please help me with below error when I try installing BI 4.1 Client tools SP5 32Bit, this happens for SP4 too. I have windows 7 enterprise SP1 64 bit and figured that Server version doesn't show this kind of gibberish symbols but I do not need the server software as my OS is not compatible and I already have access to server tools from my corporate server.

 

I am not even seeing the language EN option

 

Provide me any inputs why this happens with client tools installation, I would need IDT, UDT, webi rich client etc

 

 

Thanks in advance, Kris

Crystal Reports for Enterprise on BI 4.1 SP5 Server

$

Hi,

 

Hope you can help guys.

 

I would like to install SAP BI 4.1 Edge SP5 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (64-bit)

 

We also want to install a Crystal Reports Designer on this server so that users can design their reports.

 

I understand that the only version of Crystal Reports that support UNX Universes is Crystal Reports for Enterprize. This support for Universes is critical for us.

 

I have some questions regarding the dependencies between CR for Enterprize and SAP BI 4.1 Edge SP5 platform.

 

1. Does Crystal Reports for Enterprize support UNX universes ?

 

2. Is Crystal Reports for Enterprize a client product like Crystal Reports 2013 Designer ? I don't want another server product because I will have SAP BI 4.1 Edge server installed.


3. If I want to have both SAP BI 4.1 Edge server and CR for Enterprize installed on the same server what is the order of installation ? What goes first ?


4. Which version of Crystal Reports for Enterprize shoud I install given that I have SAP BI 4.1 Edge SP5 platform ?

 

5. How do I find a correct client version of CR for Enterprize on the SMP /

 

5. Can CR for Enterprize be licensed through a CR 2013 Designer license ?

 

Thanks guys, hope you can shed some light here.

 

Regards,

Crystal Reports 2013 - dynamic parameters don't work when published in CMC

Our team uses dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports a lot.   We have recently upgraded to BOE 4.1 and Crystal Reports 2013.  After creating a new report in CR 2013 and publishing it in CMC, I find that the dynamic parameters will not populate.   This just is not acceptable for us.   Has anybody had this problem and if so, have you solved it or found a work around?

 

Thanks,

We have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI release 2. and getting error "An Internal Error Occurred While Calling the 'openDocumentMDP' API. (Error: WIS 30270) (Error: INF)" for one of the reports. This was working until last month. Trying to figure out what could be the issue.

 

The trace log shows below error -

 

Tue Sep 29 15:22:03 2015] 8948 9268 trace message: jobserver: Fail to get remote size of document [frs://Output/a_084/020/004/267348/cdzbac899706a3779e.wid], ret: -18]. Reason: File frs://Output/a_084/020/004/267348/cdzbac899706a3779e.wid not found on File Repository Server..

 

I checked .wid file doesnt exist in Output folder. i could not find the file in ouput folder (old backup copyi had taken couple months back)..

 

thouhg this .wid file exist in input folder - Input\a_017\185\000\47377\cdzbac899706a3779e.wid

I am new to BO. so trying to understand is there anything wrong with the report config/params as its looking at ouput instead of looking at input?

 

Can someone pleas assist on this?

Migrate Micro Strategy Reports on to SAP BI 4.0

Experts,

We have requirement to migrate micro strategy reports (close to 33,500 count) to SAP BI 4.0 platform. I enquired about this with few consultants, they told me that re-building those reports is only option. As the report count is too high, we can not rebuild them all.

There should be some or other way to achieve this. Wanted to know from your previous experiences of this sort.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Unable to edit graph exported in Excel format

Hi Experts,

 

In the previous version of BO XI 3.1 SP3 FP 3.6 we were able to export the webi report containing charts and graphs into an Excel (.xls) format and they were editable.

 

Now in the new version BI 4.1 SP5, when we export the same webi report into Excel (.xls) and Excel 2007 (.xlsx), the charts and graph are being displayed as a picture and are non-editable.

 

Do we know why this could be the case ? Was this a bug in previous version which is corrected in the new one ?

Diego.

Error viewing reports in .Net Apps after upgrade to Crystal Server 14.1.5

We have recently upgraded to Crystal Reports Server version 14.1.5.1501 from 11.5.  We have a few legacy apps written in VS 2005 and VS 2008 that view reports on Crystal Server using the CrystalReportViewer control.  We are trying to get the old code to work with minimal effort but have thus far been unsuccessful. We've resolved numerous firewall issues, but now we receive the following error message while trying to view reports: “The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.”  Are we missing something?  Can the code used to access reports on Server 11.5 be used to access reports in 14.1?  Sample code of the page used to view reports is attached.  Any assistance is appreciated.

I have been trying to get Crystal server to promote from 2011 to 2013 for over a year now and continue to run into brick walls. My latest issue is with the Dynamic Prompts. They don't show any data when using them. My question is if there is a way to dump all of the reports and prompts and start over without having to re-install Crystal Server again?

Migrating report owner info using UMT

Hi Everyone,

 

We’re doing an incremental upgrade from 3.1 to 4.1 using UMT, specifically migrating folders with Crystal Reports 2008, including instances. While the upgrade completes successfully, the owner info of the reports from 3.1 does not get migrated to 4.1 but instead picks up the “UserName” used to login for the Source and Destination. Users have already been set-up in 4.1. Are we supposed to migrate both report content along with users and groups, or is there another way around this?
