Moving reports and users from SAP BI 4.1 SP3 to SAP BI 4.1 SP6

$
0
0

Hi

 

I need to move reports(50 webi) and users(100 users, where some are Windows AD user) from BI 4.1 SP3 to the fresh installed BI 4.1 SP6 system.


Is this will be the best way to move reports and user -> upgrade management tool in 4.1 SP3 - Live to BIAR and by using promotion management in 4.1 SP6 to import the BIAR file?


I have gone through some documents but I haven't get a proper steps.

Can anyone guide me step by step process to move the users.

 

Thanks in advance.

2. Is it possible to create 1 Intelligence Tier, 1 Processing Tier, 1 Application Tier? If no..What is the minimum dedicated servers need to be create for Intelligence Tier, Processing Tier, Application Tier?

3. If there are more than 500 concurrent user, it is recommended to create additional Application Tier. Likewise in which scenario need to create multiple

Hi ,

 

Could anyone help to provide details on below

 

Does latest tomcat 7.0 supports BusinessObjects 4.0 SP9

 

We are currently using tomcat 6.0 and our network team claiming below are the concerns with tomcat 6.0 and recommendations:

 

Vulnerability

 

 

Apache Tomcat: Important: Session fixation (CVE-2013-2067) (High)

Missing Secure Flag From SSL Cookie

Click Jacking

TLS/SSL Server Supports SSL version 3

 

 

Recommendations:

Upgrade to latest Apache Tomcat version

Add the Secure flag to cookies sent over SSL. For each cookie sent over SSL in your web-site, add the "Secure" flag to the cookie.

Use HTTP X-Frame-Options. Send the HTTP response headers with X-Frame-Options that instruct the browser to restrict framing where it is not allowed.

Disable SSLv3 protocol support. Configure the server to require clients to use TLS.

Crystal Report takes forever to run in PRODUCTION

$
0
0

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a Crystal Report scheduled to run everyday in production and lately it is taking a lot of time for this report to run, This report never took more than a couple hours earlier, now takes 10 hours or so to finish. To ensure it's not the data that is causing the delay I tried pointing a copy of this report in QA to same database as used in PROD (with no parameters selection), the report runs as normal and finishes just in time (2hrs). Knowing that it's not the data that is to be blamed in production env. I need your inputs as to what else can cause the report to almost endlessly .

 

I'll really appreciate your thoughts on this. Please feel free to ask should you have any questions.

 

Thanks

DB2 Client 10.05.00.420 for Linux

$

0

Hello People

 

I need to get data from a data server with DB2 10.5 installed via BI Launchpad

 

I see, in a PAM document from SAP, for BI 4.0 SP5+ / BI 4.1 the network layer is named DB2 CAE (?) and the middleware version must be "DB2 Client 10.05.00.420" or "DB2 Universal JDBC Driver for 10".

 

The questions:

 

1. Which is preferable? (i.e. to retrieve a big quantity of data as result of a query)

2. How can I get/find the client/driver?

3. Wher can I get any documentation for installation/test?

 

I work with BI 4.0 SP10 under Linux Rhel5 64 bit and, on next future I upgrade on BI 4.1 SP5 (or 4.2)

 

Thanks in advance

Windows AD Authentication - "Invalid group name, cannot find group"

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I have a customer with a test system which doesn't have Windows AD authentication set up (unlike their production system, which is authenticating correctly), but they would like it set up. Somehow they have managed to migrate some users across with Windows AD aliases, which I have deleted in order to try and get it working, but to no avail.

 

When I go into the Authentication section of the CMC, the Authentication Mode was disabled. If I enable it, and then enter the AD Administration credentials (in the form DOMAIN\serviceaccount) and Default AD Domain (fully qualified), it pauses for a while then tells me:

 

"Invalid group name, cannot find group (S-1-5-21-1891586110-854747954-926709054-9022)."

 

If I click cancel, the Authentication screen does now show the AD administration credentials, but if I click the Update button at the top of the page, it says

 

"The Active Directory plugin does require valid global administration credentials in order to access Active Directory. Please specify administration credentials and try again".

 

If I enter the name of the Windows AD group into "Mapped AD Member Groups" (in the form DOMAIN\business objects) then the group is added correctly in its expanded form in the list, and also added to the list of groups in that section of the CMC; however none of the users is created. This the group that some existing users were members of.

 

Furthermore, the SID of the "business objects" group above is different from the one it is complaining about.

I ran the following query in Query Builder; this simply shows 65 Enterprise groups and one AD group, the business objects one above, and had a different ID (the last four digits are different).

 

SELECT SI_ALIASES FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = UserGroup

 

I have confirmation from the system administrator that there is no group or user with the ID ending 9022. I can't see it in the system database, and I can't delete it from the Authentication page as it's not there.

 

Can anyone advise how I can get this phantom group removed from the system?

 

Thanks

Darren

Promotion of everyone, administrators group and administrator user

Hi,

 

I have migrated BO content from 3.1 to 4.1.  Now I have to promote the content from BO 4.1 development to BO 4.1 development.  Now I am using promotion management live to live. So my approach to  promote (1) users and groups (2) custom access levels, connections and universes (3) public folders, publications, favourite folders etc.

 

During promotion of users and groups, Do I have to promote administrators group and everyone group?

Do I have to promote administrator user?

Do  I have to use override settings for connection changing from BO 4.1 development to BO 4.1 test?

 

Thank You,

Issue in installing SAP BO Dashboard 4.1 on linux server

hello,


I want to install SAP BO Dashboard 4.1 Linux version with Oracle database. The hosting servers are different for Oracle and SAP BO Dashboard. I am facing certain issues like:

 

Database access error. Reason Loading shared object failed. First tried to load library clntsh and failed because of error: [clntsh: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]. Second tried to load library libclntsh.so and failed because of error: [libclntsh.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]. (FWB 00090)

 

Can any body help to identify which package is missing we have Oracle DB 11g installed on separate server.

Any work around or recommendations if hosting servers are different or do they need to be necessarily hosted on same server?

 

Best regards,

Harsh

BI Platform Support Tool Issue: E2E Trace

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I am attempting to use the new integrated E2E trace tool within BIPST v2.0.  I know in the past we had issues where we would have to launch the exe with elevated privileges for it to run from a client machine. 

 

So now, I have installed BIPST on my client machine and launched it with elevated permissions.  I clicked on End to End Trace and connected to the appropriate CMS.  In the lower left, i see that I can put my admin credentials there too.  So I do that.  I start the trace -- it launches IE, but then throws the error of No candidate process found. 

 

If I close out if it and IE and return to the BIPST, the tool just hangs on Steps 3: Execute Trace - there is no back option and at the bottom, it spins with the message of 'Now overriding the BO_trace.ini'.  Clicking Next seems to do nothing other than hang the wizard/support tool. 

 

I have tried launching the BIPST with elevated privileges and putting in my admin credentials in the E2E, as well as launching with without admin privileges and only putting my admin credentials in the E2E. 

 

Ideas on what's going on/How to resolve that?

 

Thanks,

Missy
