Hi guys
What is version management in CMC used for? could I use it to keep track of the changes made in the universe? are there any tutorials or articles I can follow?
I need to publish or save webi reports in PDF to folders in Jam.
From BO CMC I found yo can configure destinations to email, ftp, files and Streamworks but not Jam.
I Understand Streamworks is being replaced by Jam, so how do I publish and object to Jam from BO Scheduler?
Regards
Hello,
I have set up a client-server environment.
In the server I installed Crystal Server 2013 SP7 OEM Edition (the one that only has the RAS).
The client has a website where a ASPX form is trying to connect to the Crystal server to display a report.
In the client I installed the Business Objects BI Platform .NET SDK Redistributable 32 bit 4.1 SP7.
Whenever I try to display the form, however, I keep getting the following error:
[COMException (0x80004005): The system cannot find the path specified.]
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocumentClass.Open(Object& DocumentPath, Int32 Options) +0
The error is displayed in the last line of the following code block:
currentReport = new ReportClientDocument();
if (gReportAppServer != "")
currentReport.ReportAppServer = gReportAppServer;
Object filepath = "rassdk://" + Server.MapPath(WRM.GetResourcePath(WebResourceTypes.CrystalReport, rptFile + ".rpt"));
currentReport.Open(ref filepath, 1);
The filepath value is correctly pointing to the location where the RPT file is located:
rassdk://C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\site_name\\rpt\\Expense.rpt
Could this be an installation issue? or why is the code not working?
The code is the same that I used in a previous version of Crystal Server (2008 embedded) so I know it works (or at least it worked in that particular version).
The only difference in the code is that I changed the assembly references from the 12.0.1100.0 version to 14.0.3500.0.
Thanks in advance,
Hector
I migrated the BO content from BO 3.1 to BO 4.1 SP7 with Upgrade Management tool with security option selected.
When I click a user in BO 4.1 for Eg: "testUser" in CMC "Users and Groups". Right Click user "testUser" and select "User Security", I find rights such as "Administrators" and "Everyone" group rights and "testUser" rights i.e. "Advanced" added by default.
There are about 400 users. So, for every user, user right is added by default as "Advanced". I have to delete the User's rights manually by clicking "User Security" for each user i.e. 400, in order to make user security consistent with BO 3.1.
After removing the User's rights, I promoted the BO content from BO 4.1 development to BO 4.1 test.
In BO 4.1 test also, I find the user's rights getting added by default to each user. So, I have to remove each User's right manually.
Please experts suggest me how to resolve this behaviour.
Thanks in advance.
Dear all,
We face the following scenario:
1.) We have a SAP BO BI 4.0 SP7 server which runs on SuSE SLES 11.
2.) The authentication scheme currently used is LDAP > LDAP Server Type = Oracle Internet Directory.
3.) The customer wants to change the LDAP> LDAP Server Type = Microsoft Active Directory Application Server.
If we fulfill all the necessary restrictions while mapping LDAP against Windows AD, as stated in Administrator's Manual, I would like to ask:
A.) Are the following assumptions correct?
A1.) If an existing user has the same name with one coming from Windows AD, then the user will remain intact.
A2.)If an existing user has different name with one coming for Windows AD, then the existing user will be removed and a new one will be created.
There are two useful links:
10 easy steps - How to use LDAP-based authentication in SAP BusinessObjects 4.1
Setting up the LDAP connector - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hi, i have a problem with SAP as i need to export a SAP report for use in GIS applications.
As the GIS application needs the data on a row to row basis and not accumulated, i have a problem in creating a divider in a SAP report, is there a easy way to split up data as i do not have access to the direct source?
Hi,
Is it possible to have a windows based script which looks to see if tomcat stopped and restarts automtically if in stopped state between certain hours?
Any examples or downsides to this?
Occasionally we see tomcat in stopped state and restart manually as it has crashed.
Thanks

Hi guys
Webi crashed as the webi processing server exceeded the maximum connections which is set to 450 in our case. Maximum concurrent sessions allowed is 55.
What is the difference in Webi sessions and maximum connections?
We had to restart the server to make it work.... What is the way out to make sure this does not happen in future?
We are on BO 4.1

Hello.
We were running BOBJ 4.1 SP6 Patch 2 up until just recently with no issues. We have a small customization to the BILaunchpad to hide the header (logo, preferences, logoff link etc).
We patched our environment to SP7 just recently, and while our customization still works, going to CMC we get an internal server error (HTTP 500 status 500 - ClassCastException).
I know the error has nothing to do with our customization as I have rolled it back to the file version that came with 4.1 and the error still occurs.
I've tried setting precompiled.jsp.files.use back to true, and the error goes away.
Has any one else encountered this error? Any workarounds?
SAP has stated that they will not support this as it isn't listed in their customization guide.
Thanks

HI All,
For some unknown reason this afternoon, we lost a Universe folder in BI Platform that carried 4 universes. We requested a recovery from last night's back up for the input file store (Universe object location), the restore was done on a temp folder so we could do a comparision between the two folders and restore the missing file. There's only one folder that's not a part of input file store right now and it contains a zipped file in it, which is unusual because generally these folders have multiple sub folders within and one of these subfolder holds the universe.
Can someone please help me determine a way to know which folders needs to be restored and if there's an effective method to execute this kind of restoration . How do I know which folder needs to be restored.
your insight on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
we have 9 users that are all assigned to the default Administrator group. Now, for 4 of them, we want to adapt the rights slightly: they should have Administrator rights on everything in BI, except for a few specific things that they are no longer allowed to do: basically making sure that they can no longer see/refresh/excecute/change certain WEBI reports with sensitive HR-data in them
Translated into specifics i think i need to make sure they can
All other actions as BI admin they should be able to do!
First i was thinking of creating a new custom user group like "Admin_Light", assigning them into that group and removing them from the standard Administrator group, but then i fear i will never be able to allow this new group the necessary right on each application, folder, etc... that is relevant
Then i was think i could maybe create a 'negative group' for them: leave them in Administrator but also assign them to another group which i can then use to block them from the mentioned actions above, but not sure if this will work (if you grant them rights in one group, and disallow them in another group, what will be the result?)
Any advice or suggestions on how i can best solve this?
Hi all,
I've recently migrated the BI platform from 3.1 to 4.1. Some users realized that they didn't upload to the BI platform all of their local WebI report so these reports haven't been migrated.
I cannot migrate these report anymore since the BI platform 3.1 has been dismissed and the problem is that the reports have the security bounded to the old platform and if they try to open these reports on the new platform this error occurs:
"You cannot open this file with you current connection".
Is there any way to detach the security from the webi report in order to be able to recover it ?
Thanks,
Michele
