The action cannot be performed. (Error: INF) when opening a Webi Report

0
0

Hello Gurus,

 

I keep getting this error when I open any Webi report, most of them open fine when I try to open the second fine, but that is annoying to users.

 

We're at BO 4.1 SP7 Fix Patch 2, and out server has 2 nodes, APS is split in CMC, using the System Configuration Wizard, by selecting Capacity - Medium as the RAM is between 15 - 25GB.

 

I checked the KBA 1621131 and it says, "Check the command lines of all the Adaptive Processing Servers in the cluster using CMC’s Servers page. Make sure that the value for the argument “-workdir” is different for each server." If this fix is correct, what should be the workdir be for all the APSses (Analysis, Auditing, Core, DataAccess, LCM, Search, WebI) which are created? How should it be different? Do I have to add a sub folder name, so it creates and uses them?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mahboob Mohammed


Dynamically Logging into CrystalServer 2016 BI Launch Pad from another website

We've recently upgraded to Crystal Server 2016. Previously, we were using Crystal Server 2011.

 

In our internal web application, we were able to put a link that would open a new tab and dynamically log our users into CR 2011's BI Launch Pad. However, we are having difficulty doing this with the new server.

 

The code we were using is in the attachment.

 

Does anyone have a clue had to get this functionality back?

Hello,

 

i maybe in the incorrect discussion group but here goes.

 

we are using SAP BUSINESS OBJECTS ANALYSIS edit for MS version 2.1.352433

 

and always come across users receiving error messages when opening the application from their launchpad.

 

more often then not, we repair office or uninstall/install the components to get it working again. then to find, a week later the same error comes up.

 

the log files all point to the analyis add on pack not being enabled/registered correctly.

 

could the issue be back end, instead of client side software?

Hi Friends,


 

Help much appreciated.


 

Issue 1:

Actually, they are N number of project folders.

In each project folder, there is a specific folder which has been assigned with a custom access level role.

We would like to get the list of those specific folders for which custom role is assigned.


 

 

Issue 2:

Sessions - using this option in CMC, we can see the current number of sessions in the system.

Can we see the same result in a dashboard. If yes, please let me how can we make this possible.


 

Issue 3:

Recurring Instance:

I see that we have an excel macro enabled to get the list of recurring instances with the events. As well, another excel is available which shows success, failed, pending, paused instances except recurring.

But, I want to get only the list of recurring instances. Can we achieve this using the audit report or any macro enabled excel. f yes, please let me know how this can be possible.

Analytics reporting in SAP GRC environment through ODP implementation

0
0

Hi All,

 

We are in process of implementing Analytic's reporting in GRC environment through ODP functionality.


We do not have BWA or HANA in our GRC environment.  Also we do not have plan to use external BW system to update the data .. so basically we are looking for reporting from GRC systems only. 

Also SAP suggested that they will be stopping support of BW part of GRC systems. GRC systems have in built BW part. That's one of the reason we are going with ODP approach.

 

We have activate standard ODPs .. Which generated transient providers and now we are in process of reviewing the standard queries of these ODPs.


In ODP documentation on help.sap.com it’s mentioned that for better analysis performance, we must have SAP HANA/BWA installed. However this is Not a mandatory step.

 

Now we are facing performance issue while trying to execute these ODPs.  these two ODPs are giving time dump even for small amount of data. In addition to these ODPs there are more which are giving dump.

 

ODP Tech Name           Description                      

0GPC_IS                       GRC PC Issue Attributes   

0GPC_CN                     GRC PC Control Attributes


Question:

Can we proceed with ODP solution without having HANA / BWA installed in our GRC environment?

Are there any SAP notes which we need to implement to resolve performance issue?


Can we join two ODPs data in backend? Is there any good documentation available?

Can we create custom ODPs which generates transient providers? Is there any good documentation available?


Thanks,

Niraj

Launchpad changes

Hi All,

 

I would like to change following text in launchpad page in BI4.2:

 

Enter your user information, and click "Log On".

 

If you are unsure of your account information, contact your system administrator.


In 3.x this used to be easy however I am not sure where to change this information in BI4.

 

I think it's in the following section in logon.jsp of Launchpad/Infoview however I am not sure:

 

  <h:form onsubmit="return onSubmitLogon();">

            <cwl:logonComponent

                id="logon"

                logonProperties="#{logonBean.properties}" />

                </h:form>

 

I can add a line in this section however can't edit the text.

 

If any has successfully done it then could you please share.

 

I have referred related links of customization but I don't see this information in it.

 

Regards,

Pavan

SAP Business Objects 4.x and Windows Server 2016

0

Hello,

 

any ideas if SAP supports Windows 2016 server for Business Objects.

End of July 2016 the new OS Windows Server 2016 will be available.

 

We should migrate our Business Objects server from Windows Server 2008 R2 to the latest Windows OS.

Should we wait till Windows Server 2016 is available or should we migrate now to Windows Server 2012 R2?

 

If SAP will not support Windows Server 2016 we will migrate now to a new machine.

 

regards, Helmut

BI Platform Support Tool Issue:

0
0

Good Day Team

 

I have started to use BI Support Tool version 2.0.3 and happy with the new features this tool brings

 

However, I have observed an issue per below

 

For the alert "static.webi.memory.analysis.check", even though the actual system property is set to value True, the support tool is saying that it is set to false. This alert is triggered for all WIPS. Have checked & confirmed the Webi Processing Server Parameter "Enable Memory Analysis" is in enabled status.

 

We are using BI4.1SP6 patch 6

 

Do you think that the tool is not picking this property correctly or is there any other property that overrides the "Enable Memory Analysis" parameter that needs to be changed as well?

 

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

 

 

Thanks

[Deski (XI)] Access to Query Panel Standalone Mode

0
0

We are facing a migration from BO XI 3.1 SP7 to 4.2 and we have a problem with deski reports that are going to dissapear.In this case, we have already converted most of the reports with the conversion tool, but some of them are not possible to be converted due to filters and such.


 

We have a request that asks us to maintain the possibility to see old deski reports (the ones that are already with data) and their queries. We have tried to open a report with data without CMS access and it seems to work just fine. The problem comes when trying to see the query, an error appears(we just want to see it, so users can check where they are getting the data they get on report). The error is the following (rough translation from my language):


"The universe could not be found '%s' or you don't have the rights for this universe. (DA0008)"

 


We're looking for any mechanism to access to the Query Panel to see the objects that make a query

 


Since we haven't found any info regarding this, can anyone tell us if this is possible? If yes, how would we do it?


Best regards

Hi,

 

I am using the BIP 4.2 for some tests with SAP BO Design Studio. For the DS there is a new version available, so I've downloaded the client side part and the part for the BIP. When I want to upgrade the BIP Addon I get an Error INS00013 at the console, that tells me, that the CMS is not reachable or the credentials are wrong.

When I try to take a look at the CMS I also get an error when I want to log in. The credentials that I try are right, because they are saved in the browser and were right all the time. I found this thread below, but I'm on linux and running the sqlanywhere.

 

Account information not recognized:Could not reach CMS.The CMS on machine "X" was stopped due to critical error.(FWM 200…

 

 

Is there any hint?

How to schedule a PDF report using BI4.2 .NET Enterprise SDK

0
0

Hi, I am trying to migrate XI3.1 report scheduling C# code to BI4.2 SP2.  Unable to find any .NET samples or documentation showing how to do this, I contacted SAP support who pointed me to a copy of the information held here:  Schedule Webi Report Sample


Unfortunately, I don't believe the code in this link is applicable to BI4.2 and I can find no way to instantiate a WebiFormatOption object as shown.


Two questions:


1) Is it still possible to schedule a PDF report using the BI4.2 .NET Enterprise SDK

2) If so, does anyone have example code which shows the BI 4.2 equivalent of casting an InfoObject to a Report and setting the appropriate WebiFormatOption.


Thanks,


Steve Coffey

Hi

I am checking on if the upcoming 2.0.4 release will include the update/patch for the <installpath>\BISupport\bin\bitool64_lib\commons-collections-3.1.jar or if this will be part of future release

 

My organization is scanning and flagging all installs that are less than version 3.2.2  as non compliant.

BI 4.1 SP4

 

I'm developing an application that will pull all of the information about a universe and its objects using the Semantic Layer SDK.  I'm using Eclipse as my development environment and currently just running in debug mode in Eclipse, but I'm getting the above error when I try to load the retrieved .blx file into the LocalResourceService.

 

BuildPath includes references to the following:

 

sl_sdk.jar

com.sap.sl.sdk.framework.jar

com.sap.sl.sdk.authoring.jar

com.sap.sl.sdk.jar

All of the .jar files from ..\dataAccess\connectionServer

 

JVM has the -Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory parameter correctly set in Eclipse.

 

The win32_x86 folder is in the Path environment variable.

 

I've looked at the following discussions and tried to implement the solutions mentioned in them:

Help accessing universe properties

0

I am able to access my universe through the webi restful api via something like http://sapbo21:6405/biprws/sl/v1/universes/7582:

 

{u'universe': {u'cuid': u'...'',

  u'description': u'...',

  u'folderId': 4914556,

  u'id': 7582,

  u'maxRetrievalTime': 10800,

  u'name': u'...',

  u'outline': {u'@aggregated': u'false',

  u'folder': [{u'item': [{u'@dataType': u'String', ....

 

But when I do the following in the java semantic layer sdk:

 

service.getUniverseConnections("/Universes/7582");

 

I see com.sap.sl.sdk.authoring.internal.AuthoringException: File "/Universes/7582" not found in the repository. (SLS 10003).

 

I also tried service.getUniverseConnections("/Universes/4914556/7582"), ie specifying the folder the universe is in as specified by the restful api call.


Is there something I'm missing with regards to specifying the universe path for the java sdk?
