Installation of Crystal Report for Enterprise 4 Client Tool Error

$

0

All,

 

We have BW 7.31 / BO 4.1 (SP 5) and we are trying to install Crystal Report for Enterprise 4 Client Tool on Standalone machines but unable to start the installation.  When I open the setup.exe file and the extraction finishes and open for you to select the language, I always get a window like below and there is absolutely nothing to select in the drop down.  An administrative right has been used and no difference.  An installation on another machine would also not solve the problem.  Any suggested solution would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Timi Jones

 

 

 

Without the CR client, the modification to the Crystal Report is not possible and you will be getting a window similar to the one below:

 

A good installation of Crystal Report client should be displaying a window similar to this one below when you click "Modify" (Design Mode) on the context menu of the report.

 

Launching a report using RAS under VS.NET 2013

$

Hello,

 

I am an experienced Crystal Reports developer and have built a very simple report using CR Developer 14.  The report is designed to be used against a SQL Server database and an Oracle database.  In the designer, I have no problem loading the same report, and when I run it, connecting to either the SQL Server or Oracle database. 

 

Using the asp.net application I developed under VS.NET 2013 Professional, different story and bigger problem.  Using the Crystal Reports Engine, I have no problem loading the report and displaying in the crystal reports viewer, provided I load the report first in the designer and save it for the target database.  In other words, using the crystal reports engine/document objects under vs.net, I cannot dynamically set the datasource; the only logon property I cannot set is the db provider!  Thus I am stuck.

 

However I have been told that the Report Application Server can dynamically set the datasource/all logon properties.  But I have not been able to get a report to launch.  I get the error message attached to this thread. 

 

I do not understand what to do next; if I need to buy more Crystal components or install/configure my environment better or ?

 

Can someone please provide me with a list of steps/tasks I can look into that will launch this report?  Again, my launch code is very simple, and it results in a very hard error that I've been grappling with all day.  Please advise!  Thank you.

 

   ProtectedSub Page_Load(sender AsObject, e AsEventArgs) HandlesMe.Load

        Dim myReport AsNew CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument

 

        myReport.ReportAppServer = "GEORGED743"

Design Studio: JCO_ERROR_DESTINATION_DATA_INVALID

Hi experts,

 

we are getting different "JCO_ERROR_DESTINATION_DATA_INVALID" errors if we are navigating through design studio applications (-> OLAP connection SAP BW) released at our SAP BO BI Platform caused by different reasons:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 1, Size: 1

 

Invalid axis tuple size: Provider Result set ROWS

 

Invalid program status
...

 

The problem only occurs if there are more than 20 - 30 contemporaneous OLAP/BIP connections (different users). If there are i.e. 5 OLAP connections/BIP sessions we are not able to reproduce the error.

 

In every case we get the same warning:
JCO_ERROR_DESTINATION_DATA_INVALID: Destination
custom_cuid:AZx__tBaMIdNjIp5nH3cCNA is invalid because destination
cuid:AZx__tBaMIdNjIp5nH3cCNA was changed. Refresh the destination
instance with the JCoDestinationManager.

BW SSO to BO - No longer working for new users

$

0

Hi experts,

 

We are currently facing a strange behavior in our BI environments.

 

Capture.JPG

 

We have set up SAP authentication and SSO from BW to BO according to this documentation "How to setup SSO against SAP BW with SAP BO BI4.0"

 

And it worked fine according to KBA 1767629.

 

However, since a few days, all the new users for which we have created an Enterprise account aliased with an SAP account fail to leverage the SSO connection to BW data through BICS.

 

Strangely, we are still able to leverage SSO with all the accounts created a few months ago.

 

So far, we've checked roles in BW and permissions in BO (all users have the exact same profile) and almost all the steps from note 1976414 seem to be fine.

 

Any lead on what could be wrong?

 

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Elodie

Backup - IPS + Data Service

$

Hello Expert,

 

I am so confused about Information plataform services backup.

I install the Data service and as prerequisite the IPS should be installed. I understood that for Data Service only the database backup is required but for IPS there are a couple of backups which we should care about and here are me doubts:

 

Enable hot backups - Use the Enable Hot backup tool. That option should be enable manually everytime that the online database backup and file system backup are taken. After finishing the backup that option should be disabled. Is that the strategy?

 

Backing up BI content - That option is not required in my scenario because I have installed Data service instead of BOBJ?

 

 

Thank you so much guys. I am totally lost.

Hi All,

 

I received this alert and can't find anything in the logs that would back this alert up. I know this is a canned watch. The only thing that comes close is that it seems the CMS auto restarted for some reason. As the Date Modified shows that in the CMC. If the CMS restarts then everything on the server would also restart. The other servers have older Date Modified entries.

 

What would cause this to happen?

Possible to Run RepoScan from Linux Server that Accesses a Remote CMS & FileStore?

$
0
0

Hello SAP Family,

 

 

I have found myself in a unique situation while trying to run a RepoScan against our Production CMS.

 

 

Here is the initial problem:

We are using Business Objects XI 3.1 on a Windows Server 2003 environment (a little old-fashioned, I know). I have been able to confirm what the initial problem is for us. The CMS repository boasts over 3,900,000 objects to scan. This, unsurprisingly, sucks a ton of memory from the computer and one of the restrictions of a 32-bit operating system is that memory usage for an application cannot exceed 2GB. This threshold is exceeded within 2 minutes of running the RepoScan tool.

 

 

Here is the workaround I hope to enact:

We have a Linux sever with Business Objects 4.1 set up on it at the moment. Is it possible to provide the same command to run RepoScan in the Linux environment? We are pointing to a remote CMS repository, as well as a remote FileStore repository on a separate computer, entirely.

 

 

Is this possible? How different would the command need to be? Or is it good to go, as is?

 

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

 

 

In addition, here is the RepoScan command I am trying to run in the Windows environment:

 


reposcan.exe -dbdriver oracledatabasesubsystem -connect UID=XXXX;PWD=XXXX;DSN=SERVCMSCOPY -inputfrsdir \\remotefilesrv\FileStore3\Input -outputfrsdir \\remotefilesrv\FileStore3\Output -outputdir e:\Profiles\mmocniak\ -scanfrs true -scancms true -repair false

After update, when I create a new repository or try to test the previous repository connection, I am getting the below error.

Is there any workaround to solve this error.

issues about BO migration

$

The issues is to migrate from BI 4.1sp2 to 4.1 sp4. (sp2 server crashed).

the lcmbiar file is about 750MB. when I use promotion management (in CMC) to import this lcmbiar file , it reports error like the attachment.  (UMT causes same error).

I referred  KB 1650107/1904814, but it still doesn't work.

the temp file space is enough( 150G+) and temporary storage of CMC is empty now.

the other side,  I imported a small backup file ( 6M+) and it's successful.

So the question is : does the import function have limitation file size of lcmbiar file? if not, how can I import this big file?

Hi,

 

I have created HANA universe in IDT, based on HANA view.

Universe was created successfully and i was able to develop Webi report on that.

Later there was some changes in HANA view, which i wanted to reflect in my universe and simultaneously in webi.

For that i refreshed my data foundation layer and i was able to see some new fields were added in my data foundation layer(.DFL).

But that all new fields were not reflected in my universe or business layer.

Can anyone help me in this.

I am currently using BO 4.1 version.

Your help is appreciated.

Crystal Reports Bursting

Hi Experts,

 

I am new to report publication / bursting and distribution.

 

Have a requirement to burst crystal report not written against universe on the basis of a department code. We have 30 different departments. The output should then reside on a shared drive location where there are individual subfolders for each department.

 

There is a lot of material on bursting WEBI report but could not find anything on Crystal Report (Again - not using universe). Also, the bursting is not distributing the reports to email, it needs to go to different folders.

 

Is this possible? How to do it? I am on CR 2008 BO3.1.

 

Thanks

Publication Question

$

Hi Experts,

 

I have a report and the parameters allow to change the grouping on the report. The report will run every Monday and send the output to a specific folder (1 single folder) but for different values of the parameter. Say, if there are 15 different values for the report to group, it should create 15 pdf outputs and place it in one folder location. Is it possible for me to create a publication to meet this requirement instead of setting individual schedules?

 

We use BOXI 3.1 sp3 and CR 2008.

 

Thanks

-Sunil
