BI 4.1 SP6 servers are detecting as being down while they are disabled

HI,

 

we are on BI 4.1 SP6.

 

We have 4 nodes on our PROD-environment.

 

Regularly we see that CMS detected a server being down, while the referred server is down and disabled in CMC. Error -message we see in the Windows Event-log is (example) :

 

"

CMS Server Watcher: server named BIPRD_INT02.ConnectionServer32 is being marked as down because it is unresponsive:Monday, November 23, 2015 07:24:21(1), eventlog: 1  critical

"

 

Anybody any idea what is causing this ? And how to avoid ?

 

Many thanks

Using Java Api to change the Managed Relational Connection to a database in a Crystal report

I am newer to crystal reports and I am working with your api right now and need some help understanding how it works. I am trying to change a shared connection (database connection) from dev to qa by using your java api. I am working in Crystal Enterprise BO 4.0 or 4.1.  I have tried several different ways and a couple different jar files. I am have used the ones that came with the eclipse down load and I have used the the ones that come from the Crystal enterprise down load.  I get this error when running the ones that come with the enterprise down load. Do I need to set up the server? Where do I do that if I do? this error comes when I try and open the report using the Enterprise jar files

Please help me to know if this is possible with the api so I can either give up or or solve it/ what I am missing

Bar coding

I am in a new job which uses Crystal Reports mainly for 'packing slips' in shipments. I heard that they want to do barcoding

and use such data in the reports. Are there any issues in doing this? I heard that you have to get special font

softwares for this. If so, which ones would you reccomend me.

Hi Community members,

 

One of our high privileged users want's to have access to private folders owned by users he works with. I don't want him to have access to all private folders, but just part of them. Is it possible to do?

hi

 

We have bo 4.1 sp6.there is a webi report.Bi launchpad format and webi client format are different.

 

 

 

There is a "sales quantity" column

 

For example:


BI launch pad shows 44,000,000

web intelligenct rich client shows 44

 

 

I changed local view settings,language of web intelligenct rich client.But there is no solution.

 

 

why does webi client show different format than bi launchpad.how can I solve this problem.

 

 

thanks

We are trying to install SBOP BI Platform 4.1 SP06 and SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP06 on a new server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Service Pack 1.

 

We have followed the instructions provided in SAP Knowledge Base Article 1419387 How to configure the Report Application Server as unmanaged server.(Yes, I am aware this document says it is for BOE 3.1, this is the document the support engineer referred us to when we asked about it on SBOP BI Platform 4.1 SP06.)

 

The Command Line Parameters in the Report Application Server properties shows:

 

-loggingPath "D:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/" -ipport 1556 -reportdirectory "D:\Crystal Decisions\Reports"

 

-fg -restart -name TDI4AVACOCRS2.CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer -pidfile "D:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/serverpids/TDI4AVACOCRS2_TDI4AVACOCRS2.CrystalReports2013ReportApplic ationServer.pid" -ns TDI4AVACOCRS2.z1.tdi.state.tx.us:6400

 

The drive and folders that contain the report templates are all shared with Everyone having permissions of Full Control, Change and Read. We have verified the ports are open and listening. We have also confirmed that the directories containing the report templates can be accessed via the network shares from a Windows workstation with general privileges.

 

The developer who is making the API call is getting the following results:

Bi4.1 installation on Linux mount point

0
0

Hi

 

Need some inputs of BI 4.1 installation on Linux.

We want to install bi4.1 on mount point; the idea is bi 4.1 services will restart automatically when the server restarts or crashes.basically we want to consider this as our fail over mechanism as we do not want to do clustering for which we would require two servers sharing the same database.this would be configured for prod.

 

Is it possible to install bi4.1 on a mount point something similar to shared drive on windows server. Are they any disadvantages ? Please suggest.

 

Thanks

Using Crystal Server with PostgreSQL database

0
0

Hello everyone.

 

I've installed a free trial of Crystal Server 2011 on my Windows 7 machine to try the reporting solution with my PostgreSQL database, however I'm having some troubles. After the installation I head into Central Configuration Manager to try and add my database.

 

I add a new node with CMS, enter name and port.

 

When I am asked to provide the datasource I'm only given a limited number of options for the driver none of which works with PostgreSQL:

 

SAP HANA (ODBC)

SQL Server (ODBC)

Oracle

DB2

Sybase

MySQL

MaxDB

SQL Anywhere (ODBC)

 

When I try to use any of those and then select my PostgreSQL ODBC data source (I have created it in Data Sources in Windows control pannel) it tells me it is not supported.

 

Shouldn't there at least be Generic ODBC? Is PostgreSQL even supported by Crystal Reports? I can connect to that database just fine with a Crystal Reports desktop program, but I would like to use server solution. Can somebody please advice how can I get this setup running?

               Failed while trying to log on user XXX. RFC error: "Number:000 (USER_OR_PASSWORD_INCORRECT)" (FWM 00013)

     I'm sure that I using the right user and password from SAP BW because I can login with that user in SAP BW using SAP Logon.

 

but there is a user (YYY) that can access every dashboard with no problem occured.

I have checked this two user (XXX) and (YYY) have same role in SAP BW and same user group in SAP BO. Both of them have full access in BW and in SAP BO.

 

I hope there is a solution for this problem.

 

Thank You.

Schedule a report to export as csv

Hi,

 

I have a report that contains several sub-reports. The main-report itself only has the function to pass on a parameter value to the sub-reports.

 

If I upload this report onto the server, is there a way to have each sub-report exported separately in csv-format?

 

Thanks,

Implementing Password policies for BOBJ 4.1 Users

Dear Experts,

 

Recently, we installed BOBJ 4.1 in our Windows Server 2008 R2.

 

Now, we would like to have Password policy for BOBJ Users, that is, we would like to restrict their Passwords creation only with capital letters and numbers.

 

Is there an Option, like Setting any Parameters in BOBJ User Management (in CMS (Central Management Server))?

 

Any ideas, please?

 

 

Thanks & best regards,

Unable to view publication log

Hi All,

 

When I create a publication based on a WebI document and try to view the publications  log I get the following error message:

"The object with ID XXXXXX does not exist in the CMS or you do not have the right to access it FWM 02020"

 

I've given full control over where the publication is held to the user. Surely you don't have to be an Administrator to view publication logs.

 

Could someone please provide me with some knowledge on this.

 

Kind Regards,

Sandeep Johal

Follow up BI migration query

We are moving BI 4.1 SP5 system from SQL Server on Windows 2008 R2 to Sybase on Windows 2012. I have gone through the administration guide and think this is the high level plan. Can you review and let me know your thoughts / Comments please.

 

1) Install Sybase on Windows 2012 server, Create database for CMS and Audit etc...per norm

2) Use system copy procedure in Administration Guide to perform export activities on source server

3) Use system copy procedure to import and build new target SQL Server on Windows 2012 from

4) Copy data from one CMS system database of SQL Server to Sybase. At this point both SQL server and Sybase are on same windows 2012 server
5) Perform post processing and validation

6) Uninstall SQL server from the newly built windows 2012

 

Does any one see any flaw or if you have any comment about improving it, please share your thoughts. Thank you again
