Hello Experts,

 

We are on BI 4.1 SP5 Patch 7 platform. Currently we have CMS cluster environment over 2 nodes.

 

Now we are planning to "Lumira server for BI Platform installation 1.28 version". Please clarify below points

 

 

1. Can we install the Lumira Server directly in PRD server which is CMS clustered over 2 nodes or do we need to install in DEV & QA box first just like other SAP products.

2. Kindly provide a high level steps to perform the installation over CMS clustered environment.

 

Best Regards,

Alok

Incorrect date format in webI charts with English(UK) as preferred viewing locale.

$

Hello Experts ,

 

We have recently upgraded to BI 4.1 SP6 with BW upgraded to 7.4 from 7.0 .

 

We have tested that the following steps ensure Date format appears in dd/mm/yyyy for our customers based out of UK .

 

- When working in BI Launchpad -> Preferences -> Locale and Time Zone

-> Preferred Viewing Locale -> set it to "English (United Kingdom)"

now log out and log in again and test the behaviour.

- When using In Rich Client -> Open the report -> Properties ->

Application -> Locale -> set Preferred Viewing Locale to "English

(United Kingdom)" and check the second radio button "Use the preferred

viewing locale to format the data".

Close and re-open WRC completely.

 

This has ensured data is appearing as dd/mm/yyyy for universe based reports /BEx based reports and even for webI formulas .

 

But the date is not appearing correctly in dd/mm/yyyy when we are using them in charts .

 

 

 

Would like to have opinion from experts what we are missing here .

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to configure SAML SSO from SAP BO to SAP HANA and has completed the SAP HANA part. However, when I try to generate certificate for SAP HANA in SAP BO CMC, I get the following error:

 

Failed to generate the certificate due to: A random object must be specified for RSAKeyPairs.. (FWM 02127)

 

I get this error while doing the following, CMC >> Applications >> HANA Authentication. Add the hostname, port and unique ID. When I click on GENERATE, I get that error.

 

Has anyone seen this error before or has an idea on how to solve this? If yes, can you please share how to solve this? Thanks a lot.

Can someone tell me, how i can find out which publication instance failed ?

I scheduled the report based on a webi-list with around 2000 recipients and i'm not able to find the failed credentials.

Can i use the ID -> (ID: 7,765,961) to find something (maybe a folder)  on windows-level ??

 

Thanks a lot

Crystal Reports Server 2013. Not able to view a report.

$

Hi All,

 

I'm new to crystal reports.

 

I have both Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports Server 2013 installed on a server.

 

Created a System DSN to MySQL server database ( which is the report source ).

 

Create a report on Crystal Reports 2013. It runs fine there.

 

Saved this in a folder in Crystal Reports Server 2013.

 

Corrected the database configuration in Crystal Reports Server 2013.

 

I ran the report and it said it is successful. (This I was able to see from the history).

 

However when I try to view the report it opens up Crystal Reports Viewer and  I see a window with a pop up dialog that says "Please wait while the document is being processed".

 

It is just stuck there.

 

Any idea / suggestions.

 

Thanks,

Kalyan.

Script for setting up ProfileValue for user

$
0
0

Hi SDK gurus,

 

Environment: Windows 2012 Server, SAP BI 4.1 SP05

 

Scenario:

We have to assign profile value to group of employees.

Group will be based on employee job code (Fetching Job Code & Employee Number field from Windows AD into CMS)

After adding employees into group, we have to assign their employee number as profile value.

 

Now this activity should be repeated everyday, as there may be chances of job code change daily.

 

I have created one group. And looking for below process in code.

 

1. Remove profile values (only Employee number, as there may be more profile value assigned to user) of all employee belongs to the group

 

2. Remove all users from the group

 

3. Add users in the group based on their job code

 

4. Assign Employee Number as profile value to user.

 

I already developed code for first 3 points. But stuck at 4rth.

I am not able to change Value Type of profile. It should be 2 (Type = Value), but by default it is taking 1, Full Client filter (Type = Filter)

 

 

Challenge: Below script is assigning value to user/profile, but whenever we are trying to publish a report, we are getting error. And that is obvious, because we are not setting Profile Value Type "Value" and by default it is taking as FullClient "Filter".

 

BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminErrorLog_Instance_749712 - [Publication ID # 749712] - Unable to find a profile filter expression for the document type "Webi" for the user or group '27,131' (ID: 748,171) and profile '{3}' (ID: {4}). Please ensure that your administrator has set a filter expression for document type "Webi" in the profile in the Central Management Console. (FBE60317)



Below is the part of code.


Set aset;

String s1;

String s2;

int empno;

int SAPempno;

String s3;

IInfoObjects boInfoObjects_addProfile;

 

boInfoObjects_addProfile = (IInfoObjects)infoStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE DESCENDANTS(\"SI_NAME = 'USERGROUP-USER'\" , \"SI_NAME= 'Account Managers'\")");

 

 

for(int boCount_addProfile  =0; boCount_addProfile  < boInfoObjects_addProfile.size(); boCount_addProfile++ )

{

  IInfoObject boObject = (IInfoObject)boInfoObjects_addProfile.get(boCount_addProfile);

 

  IUserBase bouserbase = (IUserBase)boObject;

  IUser bouser = (IUser)bouserbase;

 

  imapattrib = bouser.getCustomMappedAttributes();

  aset = imapattrib.getAttributeNames();

  s1 = imapattrib.getAttribute("SI_EMPLOYEENUMBER");

  empno = Integer.parseInt(s1);

  SAPempno = 10000000 + empno;

  s3 = Integer.toString(SAPempno);

  s2 = imapattrib.getAttribute("SI_JOBCODE");

 

 

        // Retrieve the user as an ISystemPrincipal object.

        ISystemPrincipal userPrincipal = (ISystemPrincipal)boInfoObjects_addProfile.get(boCount_addProfile);

 

 

        // Create the association between principal and profile.

        IProfileValues profileValues = userPrincipal.getProfileValues();

        IProfileValue profileValueObject = profileValues.add(profileID);

 

 

  IProfileValueItems vitems = profileValueObject.getValues();

  IProfileValueItem vitem = vitems.add();

 

 

        // Set the profile value.

        vitem.setValueItemValue(s3);

 

 

  out.println("Adding profile values for: " +boObject.getTitle()+ ": " + boObject.getDescription()+ ": SI_EMPLOYEENUMBER: " +s1+": Job Code: " +s2+": New employee number: " +s3+"</br>"  );

 

infoStore.commit(boInfoObjects_addProfile);

}



Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Database Views in IDT tool BI4.1SP6 - Postgres9 - JDBC - Multiconnection

$

Hello,

 

I am using IDT tool BI4.1SP6 for Postgres9 to create a multi connection (JDBC).

 

I have managed to create the connection, which works fine.

in the connection, when I expand to look at the tables available, I can see only Tables not the Views .

 

I can access the views in Postgres tool.

 

I have checked, if any filters are on, for viewing Tables and Views.

 

Has any one experienced this behaviour  or am I missing a setting ?

 

(The same happens for Single Connection).

 

And in addition, if have a connection to Oracle 11g database, I can see the database views.
