SAP 4.1 PlatformSearch Issue
Hi Team,
We have configured Schedule Platform Search in our env for the "Platform Matedata" Indexing.
Also as recommended by SAP the Master index location is set to a shared drive.
We are observing some issues with the platform search in our env's, we ran a landscape report for the "Platform Search" in the BI Support Tool and observed the below warning message in the Queue #1 "To Be Extracted Queue"
Also as stated by the SAP, the documents exists in 6 queues (Queue 1 to Queue 6 ) , we observed in the landscape report some of the queue is having 0 documents and some had few documents.Does this indicate the platfrom search is not running completely?
i would like to check your inputs if we have to make any changes so that we do no recieve these warning messages.
Thank you in Advance.
Regards,
Sumith

STRUSTSSO2 - Binary Option
Hi Team,
we are facing an issue in SSO authentication for OLAP connection in BO 4.1.
recently in our tst system we have done an DRP activity in which the SSO certificate imported in STRSUTSSO2 is not working now, when I try to re-import the certificate we cant able to see any option called binary or base. so we tried to import the certificate directly but still we cant able to use the OLAP connection in SSO authentication.
so could you please suggest that what could be the issue here, does the issue could be due to certificate bite like 1024 or 2048? whether we need to generate the cert.der file in some bite version?
Thanks!

Destination Configuration Service in AJS

We have a SAP BO 4.1 SP6 environment with a single node.
In Adaptive Job server properties tab the Destination Configuration Service displays This service has no configuration property..
I am not able to find any particular issue as the File system and Email are properly configured as destination and working as expected.
However while scheduling report to the share point the reports are failing with source file error.

SI Dependencies
I am getting an error when trying to schedule a Crystal Report from Crystal Server 2013. I believe it has to do with a missing event that no longer exist or does not match up with what the MetaData for the RPT is.
My question is how do I dig in and find what dependencies a report is looking for?
Here is the Error: "Object failed to run because its constraints refer to missing objects. Please confirm that the server group, calendar and any dependencies are valid and that you have View rights on these objects."
This is the part from Query Builder that I want more info on:
Any Ideas?

IDT ConnectInit Parameter
Hi all,
Our DBAs are trying to gain a bit more insight into who/what is running a webi report that contains a poorly formed query, long-running query, etc. Currently, they can't do this without looking at their Oracle tools to identify which webi server the user is running on and reaching out to me to use the (unsupported SAP) Webi Admin Tool to identify the user and report, based on the server name.
We came across this link: http://blog.whitehorses.nl/2013/02/25/monitoring-business-objects-end-user-activity-using-oracle-enterprise-manager/
which discusses adding values to the Connection for the ConnectInit Custom Parameter.
We added it as shown and it sort of works. For one, they can now see the user running the report. However, instead of the report name, it only shows/provides them with the universe name, though both are identified in the parameter value. Additionally, if the report name has an & in the title, running the query or refreshing the webi report will fail - it seems like Oracle wants to interpret the & as a parameter being passed in. We tried adding a 'translate' into the mix, but then it fails on the word translate saying it's not being used correctly.
Wondering if anyone has successfully implemented anything like this or an alternative that has worked (providing the username and report name back to the DBA... like via grid control, query via Toad, etc.). We are on BO 4.1 SP6 Patch 4.
Thanks,
Missy

Issue with logging into CMS from Java Web Application
Hello,
When I try to login to SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1 from our Web app using the following method:
CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(username, password, cmsServerName, authType)

I've included all the jar files that are in the development docs for deploying Crystal with an application and I
have been unable to locate this class in any of those jar files from the installation.
Where may I find the jar file that contains this class?

Java heap dump onOutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded after upgrade to 4.1 SP7
Hello,
We upgraded from Xi4.0 sp3 to xi4.1 sp7. Now APS is split into four servers, then APS.core frequently crash due to java outofmemory error. After getting 32GB RAM, we changed heap maxium size in APS.core from 2g to 4g. APS.core gets less heap dump file, but still crashes on outofmemory, and each log file size also increases from 2.5GB to 4GB. The error now is GC overhead limit exceeded.
Meanwhile, /PlatformSearchData data is growing in a abnormal speed, 3GB per day. We've deselected some index item, kept webi and universes only. Don't see any difference.
Please advise if we should change aps.core heap size to 8G? or anything else. Thanks very much!

BI LauchPad Customizing - Logos
Dear community
I would like to change the logos in the BI LaunchPad. I already read the following papers:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_bi_customization_en.pdf
Tutorial: Branding and Theming of BI launch pad
Tutorial: Customizing BI launch pad name
These links are very helpful but do not solve my problem. In the installation file exists the com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar-File which has an orange design. And that is my problem.
I would actually like the standard BI LaunchPad design (white) and just change the company logo. But in the actual dirctory "tomcat\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins" does not exist this kind of jar.
Does have anyone a solution for that?
Thanks for every hint.

Changing "My Recently Viewed Documents" in BI Launchpad to open last instance?
Hello,
We have a number of WebI reports scheduled for generation once a day. However, when our users are on the Home tab of BI Launchpad and click some of the documents displayed in the "My Recently Viewed Documents" part of the window, that particular instance opens, even if newer instances were already generated in the meantime.
For example, the following timeline occurs:
- A user views a report instance created on April 1st.
- The user then has a few days off. In the meantime, every day a new instance of the report is successfully generated.
- The user then returns on April 8th, opens the BI Launchpad, he sees the report he last opened in the "My recently viewed documents", and he clicks to open it.
- The instance from April 1st opens, even though newer instances exist.
Toggling the "Smart View" setting to "View latest instance" in CMC -> Applications -> Web Intelligence only works for reports accessed from the Documents tab - we would have to "force" the users through the folder structure.
So, my question is - is there any way to make the My recently viewed documents automatically look for and open the latest existing instance of a clicked document?
With best regards,
Petr Götz
EDIT: I forgot to add - we are using BI Platform 4.1 SP6.

How to link a document in BI inbox with the source document ?
Hi all
On my platform I have multiple schedules on Webi & Deski documents, the destination is set to multiple BI Inboxes. This is working fine. But I am searching a way to know / to link the document generated in BI inboxes to the original document that have generated the document... I don't seems there is a link present in the document present in the BI Inbox (no reference to the parent doc when I check that on the iinfoobject via AdminTools).
Do you know if there is a way to achieve that ?
THANKS for your help !
