Hi All,

Basically we are running one SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 Trail System in our premises.

We had developed few webi reports in this instance.

Now we are singing up with SAP PartnerEdge Program Application Development for Innovation pack for SAP Business Intelligence.

Sign Up

So we want our On premise BI trail system webi reports to be exported to the New SAP BI System what we are taking from SAP PartnerEdge.

Old BI System Version:- SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0

New BI System Version:- SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1

So can we export & import the webi reports between these 2 systems as there version levels are different.

Hi folks,

We have a requirement to mirror the prod environment to DR(Disaster Recover) environment. I stopped the SIA service from prod server and took the CMS(SAP BO 3.1 XIR2) on prod offline and took the .mdb and .log files for CMS and took the FRS backup at the same time, but when I restored these db files to the DR db and replaced the DR FRS with Prod and started the SIA service on DR, it is still pointing to the servers (Adaptive job server,IFR/OFRS, etc) on prod server.

Kindly let me know how do create a SIA so that its replicates the Prod but is an independent instance.

Thanks & Regards,

Nachiket.

I don’t understand why Webi generates other script! I have performance problems with this type of sql generated by Webi

Sorry for my English.

Thanks in advance for ours answer.

Posting this question under JAVA SDK Application Development upon a suggestion.

Hi All.

         I'm working on a JAVA application which uses BO reports.

I'm trying to update the application from BO 3.1 to BI 4.1 where I'm facing some issues with compatibility.

We use classes like BIPlatform, ResponseHolder, InfoObjects and methods like get (from BIPlatform) and getInfoObjects (from ResponseHolder) to fetch the reports from the BO folder

If we run with old jar files, the code couldn't pick up from the folder.

If the dsws-biplatform.jar is updated, we receive an error "Unhandled Type Exception DSWSException" which couldn't be resolved with importing it (or) using try/catch block (or) adding throws declaration.

If the dsws-session.jar is updated, we face issue with EnterpriseCredential.

EnterpriseCredential is used to pass the credentials to login to the BO Server

In BO 3.1, EnterpriseCredential is a class which can be initialized directly using newEnterpriseCredential();  .. whereas in 4.1, EnterpriseCredential is an Interface which cannot be initialized. If we use EnterpriseCredential.Factory.newInstance(); to intialize it, there's no error but it couldn't login to the server

Appreciate any help/suggestions on how to proceed with the upgrade.

Hi,

We have a 2-node bo4 cluster which are using about 65% and 80% physical ram but are not actually running much processes.

24gb ram on each cluster.   Not execeeding menory but seems high for not much activity.

Have checked on differeent days and seem similar.

Thoughts?

Thanks

We are on 4.1 SP2 Patch 2 and have an intermittent issue we're unable to resolve. Web/App tiers on Windows.

When a user opens a Crystal report (either from Launchpad, or their Desktop) occasionally an LOV based on a Business View is blank. The issue can always be corrected by closing the report and reopening it, and it seems only to happen once per day per LOV; other users who access reports using that LOV after the initial blank incident see everything as it should be.

Generally, the LOVs refresh daily or weekly, and all of the scheduled instances complete successfully. We don't restart any servers on a nightly basis, and have no other external processes running to clean cache, etc. We have tried adding the flag "-procreportoptions __noverifydatabase" to all of the Crystal Reports servers in the CMC, but this has not resolved the issue.

I have not found anything obviously useful in the logs or audit DB. The only thing I have noticed is under the metrics for CrystalReports2013ProcessingServer  > Open Jobs, when the LOV for a report is blank, it does not show in this list. After closing/reopening the report it then appears. So it almost seems like the server is not "calling" the LOV initially.

A related question I have about Business Views is for the "Oldest data given to client" setting, and how this interacts with similar values for the Crystal Cache and Processing servers. If the Business View is scheduled only daily but "Oldest data given to client" is set to 300, does this mean the LOV instance is purged after 300 seconds? Or is it then cached by the Cache server (cache/processing servers both have this value set to 0)?

Hello, We are going to implement S/4 HANA with a new customer and customer needs BO platform too. But is not clear for us if we have to install it over hana servers too, I understand that CMS and Audit database are the database that will be created over HANA if we choose this option

Do we have any advantage if we install BO over hana database?

Can BO platfrom be installed with another products? S/4, CRM i.e.

I will appreciate all your knowledge about this scenario

thanks in advance

We had an issue upgrading from Windows 2008 to windows 2012, so we rolled back to a previous backup of 12/16/15 for both the database and the server.

We are using BO 4.1 SP4 in MS-SQL 2008. One server setup, no clusters.

The CMS comes up and I can see it in task manager, the SIA also comes up and I can also see it in the task manager. I can log in to the CMC.

When I check Servers everything is down except for the CMS, I try to start but they will not start. If I look at the CMS server properties it states: Database access error. Reason Error decompressing properties BLOB for tuple R498-P1009-C728 with error (4294967293)..

When I look at any server properties for the other services it says: The Server Intelligence Agent for this server is unavailable.

I have checked the ODBC setup and the service accounts and they are all OK. I also checked to make sure I was able to login to the database with the service account and I was.

I checked the Windows Event Log and it is getting filled with Event ID 33018: Unable to delete file from the file repository. Make sure a File Repository Server is running and registered and enabled. Details : Failed to connect to the File Repository Server Input. Make sure the server is up and running.

I have restarted the server several times, no luck.

On the SQL side the service account is the dbo for the database.

Hi,

We have webi publications about 90 and I migrated publications from BO edge 3.1 to BO edge 4.1 SP 7. I migrated using Upgrade Management tool .

In Upgade Management tool, Object Log, I see the message beside Publication as (0 objects succeeded with  no warnings,  objects failed, 6 publication objects have warnings)

warning: This publication object is excluded from being committed.  This is part of the upgrade process, and is not an error. (UMT 10004).

In the SAP BO error guide for (UMT 10004), it says under "Action" :

No action is necessary.

Right now, I cannot see the 6 publication objects in CMC.

What steps shall I have to take?

Hi,

We are using Crystal Report Server 2013 under, SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 1.

We are using the Crystal SDK to launch the Crystal Report. I am trying to encrypt the communicate with the Crystal Report Server 2013.

I have followed all the steps that are mentioned in the Business Intelligence Platform Administrator Guide, under point Configuring servers for SSL, but unable to get this working. I have created all necessary files and performed configurations, but the data flowing through Crystal SDK to the server is plain text.

The Crystal SDK is invoked from a servlet deployed in a Jetty Server. The Crystal Server is running in embedded Tomcat packaged with BusinessObjects BI Platform.

We need help regarding the SSL Encryption to find out what is missing in the SSL configurations

Thanks

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the installation of Design Studio 1.5 on BI 4.1 SP5. When the installer checked the prerequisites, it showed the next error:

The installation is on the same folder than BI and the user is the same that installed BI.

I looked into the installation logs and I found the next problem (the version installed is SAP BusinessObjects 4.1 SP 5 (Version: 14.1.5.1501):

A successful installation would be like the next:

I think the installer can't find the minimum version of BI  installed, but I don't know why.

Could you help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I create an Universe using as base an ECC Infoset.

In Rich client i create some reports merging with another Universes as well based on Infosets.

All is fine but when i change some table in the base infoset i need to recreate all the reports i did before even if the change in the table it is not in the fields we want to merge

How can i avoid this behaviour?

Hello,

We are in trouble with datetime format.

We work with datetime objects and we need to display the date with the time part in the report but we want to filter (prompt) only with the date without time in the where clause (there are two distinct objects in BO, one for the select and the other for the where).

We are updated BO from BO 4.1 sp5 (14.1.5.1501) to BO 4.1 sp7 (14.1.7.1853) and since this update we have a problem with a date format in the where clause.

Our configuration:

In the database (SQL Server 2008 R2), the date is in the format “MDY”.

The desktop date setup is FR (dd/mm/yyyy).

We already tried to change the sqlsrv*.prm files in the “…\SAP\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\odbc\extensions\qt” folder, and more precisely the two following lines:

<Parameter Name="DATABASE_DATE_FORMAT">MDY</Parameter>

<Parameter Name="USER_INPUT_DATE_FORMAT">'dd/mm/yyyy HH:m:s'</Parameter>

We have the following message when we tried to execute the query:

“The following database error occurred: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. For information about this error, please refer to SAP Knowledge Base Article 2054721 on the SAP Support Portal. (IES 10901) (WIS 10901)”

We also tried to use the cast and convert functions to truncate the time from datetime object (and keep a date as result), but with no success for now.

Remark: we want to keep the date in a date format and not to convert it in a text or a number. 

To sum up, we have two problems: the date interpretation between SQL Server and BO (US vs FR); and the time part in the where clause.

Could you help us to find and solve this issue?

Best regards

Olivier

Hi,

i get to know that i have to move from Crystal Server 2011 to Crystal Server 2013. Now the order management bought named user licences.

Or is there some need to buy the software itself?

Is this enough that i can install the Crystal Server 2013 product? If so - where can i download the package?

Kind Regards

Hi Folks,

I am installing the BODS in a distributed landscape.

The IPS/BI plataform are in server A and BI/Plataform/IPS (local SIA/CMC using remote CMS) in serverB

Now, I am trying to install the Data Service in server B, following the scenario B of the MAster Guide.

At the moment to enter the CMS Server data an error is generated saying - No valid local SIA.

If I reach the Information Plataform Services Central Management Console, I am able to log on CMC in server B. The IPS is up and running.

I saw the OSS note 1784835 but it does not work for my scenario.

Has anyone faced that?

Thanks,

Paula
