SAP 4.1 SP2 - How to suppress /BOE/BI

$
0
0

Hello All,

 

 

We have a server under SAP BI 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 (with SSO), and we want to access to launchpad with a simplified URL, such as http://BO-Server.domain.com. So we want to redirect http:// Server:8080/BOE/BI to http://BO-Server.domain.com.

 

All actions on DNS are done and fully working, we have also change the Tomcat (7) port from 8080 to 80, but we don't succeed to change the tomcat' root page. When we go to http://BO-Server.domain.com the tomcat' root page is displayed instead of LaunchPad.

 

Do you know which settings file to change (probably an index.html) ?

 

best regards

Laurent

Hi Experts ,

 

Environment : BI 4.0 SP6 , no patches

We have webi reports based on .UNX and .UNV

When we are creating a job to promote reports based on .UNV , .UNX Business layers and connections are getting added to the job.

We found that , webi reports are created by copying the existing report. .UNX files are belongs to copied report.

We found this issue was there for jobs created based on publication .By removing history this will get resolved.

for luck we tried removing the history and creating job ,issue persists.

Please assist to resolve this issue.Thanks in advance.

ncs.conf port value & saphostagent port 59818

$

Hi,

 

I have a problem with ncs.conf  property agent_port=6404 or 59818

I understand that 6404 is default and  sap notes recommend to change it to 59818.

But i don't get how this formula: 5<SMD AGENT Instance Number> 8100 + 18 leads to  a valid port number on customer system?

I scanned every log of SMD agents installed on our landscape and saw only p4 ports like 59804 , 59813. 

59818 doesn't even show up in netstat. I saw a note#1866707 asking to check port blocking. I do not see any blocking. If 59804 and 59813 are active , i do not think firewall will block 59818.

 

I understand sapagentconfig.xml file needs to be checked for BO instances. Unfortunately in our BO systems, this .xml file when opened is showing chinese characters. Hence cannot verify whats there in this file. Anyways it should either 6404 or 59818. But none of the ports are active. Just making the change in file, doesn't make the hostagent process listen on this port.

 

So what is the correct port number that needs to go in ncs.conf for host_agent property?

Please share if you know anything on this area.

 

Thanks,

How to implement "real-time" report with automatic refresh/update?

$
0
0


We need to create a report that queries a real-time database (TimesTen) and automatically refreshes data on an administered schedule, as frequently as every 3 seconds.  How can this be done in a Crystal report launched from the Crystal Report server?

 

Also the report will have 2 sub-reports, 1 query per sub-report.

 

The high-level algorithm, using the Java SDK, would be something like:

 

viewer = new CrystalReportViewer

viewer.setReportSource

viewer.View

while true

     sleep(x)

     viewer.refresh()

viewer.dispose

 

Any specifics on how to do this code?

 

Thanks!

"CrystalEnterpriseLib.SessionMgr" under Windows 7 / Visual Studio 2008

$

I have an application that I wrote nearly a year ago, under Windows XP, with Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008.  It uses the CrystalEnterpriseLib and other libraries to connect to the Business Objects Enterprise 12.1.x server and get information on reports so I can run a "report of reports".  I've upgraded to Windows 7, 64bit, and everything works with Crystal Reports and Business Objects, but I cannot get that application to run.  It has been awhile since I've touched this (a year, maybe more) so I'm lost as to why this doesn't work, and as to what needs to be done to make it work.

 

Is there a System Setup Step-By-Step starting point for Windows 7 to connect to a Business Objects server from a Windows 7 VB client?  I have a bazillion code examples from the internet and SAP, and as I said, the code I have worked.  I am missing the system configuration steps that make running the application possible.

 

The application is using the following controls/libraries, which exist on the system, but trying to register the DLLs/COM objects does not work.

CrystalFileDialogLib.EnterpriseLogonControl

EnterpriseSession

CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoStore

SessionMgr

 

The errors are such that I cannot even open the Logon Form that used to work.  The form loads an active x control to create an enterprise section.  Here's that little bit of code.

 

Private Sub LogonToServer()
    System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
    myEnterpriseSession = mySessionMgr.Logon( _
                            AxEnterpriseLogonControl1.UserName, _
                            AxEnterpriseLogonControl1.Password, _
                            AxEnterpriseLogonControl1.ApsName, _
                            AxEnterpriseLogonControl1.Authentication)
    myLoginStatus = True
    myInfoStore = myEnterpriseSession.Service("", "InfoStore")
    System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
End Sub

 

 

Any suggestions?  Training datasheets, etc?

Installation Issue: BusinessObjects BI 4.0 SP6 on AIX 7.1

$
0
0

As stated in the title, I am experiencing an issue while trying to install BusinessObjects BI 4.0 SP6 on AIX 7.1.

 

Files were extracted from RAR archives on Windows box using .exe file that came with AIX installer. Files were FTP'd to the AIX server and permissions were changed to 777 for the entire directory, owner was changed to "webi" from root.

 

When trying to run ./setup.sh, the installer does not actually start:

 

webi@<host>:/apps/BusinessObjectsA/51046020/DATA_UNITS/BusinessObjectsServer_aix > ./setup.sh

/apps/BusinessObjectsA/51046020/DATA_UNITS/BusinessObjectsServer_aix/setupexe -launchedFromSH

Finished, return code is 0

 

I did not find the output very informative and was not sure how to proceed. I've looked at similar threads and the problem usually turns out to be a permission issue, but usually that is clear from the output. I've used the chmod -R 777 /apps/BusinessObjectsA/51046020 command to set permissions and also tried running with root so thinking that is not the case here.

 

Any ideas on what it could be or where to look next?

 

Please let me know if additional information would be helpful... Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thank you!

SAP BO Translation Management Tool

Hi,

 

 

I am using the SAP BO Translation Management Tool to translate our WEBI reports into French language. Most of the queries are getting translated properly and after the export to the server they are available in French language.

But I am having issues with two of those reports in which even on successfully translating the variables and exporting the same to the server the translation is not available. On opening the WEBI report again in TMT it shows that none of the variables were translated and this problem is only with the variables not with query names or prompts.

 

Any kind of help would be great.

Arminder Singh

Hello,

we are experiencing strange issues in Version management when there is need for adding new content - especially universe into version management system via "add to VMS" button. The trouble is it throws an error "Universe is locked", but it is not. This error is thrown for ALL universes from time to time and the only thing which helps is restarting BO servers which is not exactly best solution.

Is there any option how to resolve it without restarting?

Thank you
