How to Schedule Lifecycle Manager for a Folder
Hi All,
With users creating their own web intelligence reports in production, we would like to have a nice way of moving them down to our dev and test environments at selected intervals. Is there a way to schedule the lifecycle manager to create a job and send a folder and its contents back down to these environments? We would like to just schedule it automatically and fire off maybe every night or something like that.
Any ideas out there if this is possible? If not what is the best practice about moving this user created content back down to other levels for testing and such?
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided on the above.
Regards,
Michael

Hello,
WebI 4.0 Sp6, Data in SQL Server, using *.unx universes
My Data Looks like this.
***********************
S.No. Group seq datetime
A123 M 1 01/02/2014 12:00:00 PM
A123 Y 2 01/02/2014 12:50:00 PM

C678 B 8 01/03/2014 11:45:00 PM
***********************
I want to get the Group values (lets call it "finalgroup") for each S.No using its corresponding max.seq value OR/and max.datetime
S.No. max.seq *max.datetime *finalgroup
A123 2 01/02/2014 12:50:00 PM Y
B345 3 01/02/2014 12:55:00 PM K
C678 8 01/03/2014 11:45:00 PM B
I need my final report to be displayed like this sectioning by S.No
***************************
[Section: S.No]
Sno: |* max Final Group | *max Datetime | max seq
-----
[Section: S.No]
Sno: |* max Final Group | *max Datetime | max seq
***************************
So i created sections based on S.No. Then I have tried creating variables but keep getting #multivalue errors when i display the finalgroup value.
max_seq: =Max([seq]) In Block
finalGroup=[Group] Where ([seq]=[max_seq] In Block)
Tried the same with datetime but no luck.
Any help appreciated on how to extract and display this as stated above.

We are trying to enable some features of WEBI tool bar in the Portal Launchpad for the end users as show in the image here.
How can we enable, Track, FilterBar, Outline features in the attached image, without enabling the Design drop down menu to the far right corner.
For a group of end users, we need just the ability to Track, Outline and Filter, nothing less , nothing more :-)

/crystal/rptadmin - Unable to call out to destination.
We are changing the Enterprise system from a BOE 3.1 to BOE 4.1 sp2 in transaction /crystal/rptadmin.
I've made the necessary entries in each of the screens for that transaction.....including a valid / working RFC pointing to the new 4.1 system. I have also re-assigned the Roles to this new Enterprise system.
The BW Publishing service is running and connected to the registered server program ok.
However when I click on "Verify BOE definition" on the RFC Destination Tab...I get this.
"Unable to call out to destination. Verify destination in SM59" ----(and the rfc in sm59 works perfectly)
Any feedback is appreciated!

Migrating, BO .NET Enterprise SDK 3.1 to 4.1, SDK differences
Hi All,
Recently our company decided to move from BOXI 3.1 to 4.1.
We're using BOXI 3.1 .NET Enterprise SDK to run Publications and distribute reports to users.
Basically, workflow is as follows (simplified):
We run multiple publications simultaneously on a Job server; each publication has a Webi document associated with it. To make reports refreshing properly, we update underlying Webi document's Prompts (without saving this document back to InfoStore), and then run this Publication. Each publication has MHTML output format enabled among all others (this is required); all these output files are distributed to a dedicated folder using a DiskUnmanaged plugin. Then we process/distribute these files by using our own custom framework.
When I tried to investigate how to do it with SDK version 4.1, I noticed that there are few key parts missing:
- BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Desktop.Webi does not exist anymore, and there's no more ReportEngine, so there's no way to get a Webi document together with its Prompts;
- Even if we could get Webi Prompts somehow, there's no way to copy Prompts values back to Publication's underlying Webi document, because there's no ReportParameterUtility anymore with its PopulateWebiPrompts method.
The question is: is there some alternative how to achieve the same in .NET 4.1 SDK?
I know, there is RESTful web services SDK; it allows running publications, but there is no way to set up prompts of a Publication's underlying Webi, and running Webi Reports directly is not something we want (plus MHTML output is not supported in this case). It is possible in fact to export a Webi report to MHTML, but it will require to save refreshed report back to InfoStore prior to exporting, which we don't want either.
We're considering moving BOXI-interoperating code to Java SDK 4.1 as Java's one is more feature-rich, written in pure Java contrary to .NET's COM interop, includes a proper documentation (which is not the case with .NET one) and probably it will allow to reuse existing workflow completely (there are some quirks with populateWebiPrompts still, but there is one 'unofficial' workaround to solve that).
What would you recommend?

Creating a new "root level" folder in Infoview
In Infoview (XI 3.1 SP6), does anyone know if it is possible (and how) to create a new "root level" folder, to add to the existing ones that are already there?
At the root level, is "My favorites", "Inbox" and "Public Documents". I've been asked to create a new folder at that level called "Team Space" so that people can store WebI documents in a folder structure, keeping them out of the general "Public Documents" folder. I know that we can hide folders from groups etc, but I've been asked whether it's possible to do this.
This is a mocked-up image of what they'd like it to look like, so if you have any great ideas or suggestions, i'd love to hear them!

Configure Multi domain and SSO enable
Dear Experts,
Currently our system have single domain with SSO enabled and now client asked us to add another domain with SSO enable. I have gone through the scn forums and SAP note, and I need answers for following questions:
Multiple domain means - both are separate like Domain1 and Domain2?
If we have two domain what about the service account? it should be any one domain or same account should be create in two domains
The krb5.ini file should be like this right?
[libdefaults]
default_realm = MYDOMAIN1.COM
dns_lookup_kdc = true
dns_lookup_realm = true
default_tgs_enctypes = rc4-hmac
default_tkt_enctypes = rc4-hmac
udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
MYDOMAIN1.COM = {
kdc = MYDCHOSTNAME.MYDOMAIN1.COM
default_domain = MYDOMAIN1.COM
}
MYDOMAIN2.COM = {
kdc = MYDCHOSTNAME.MYDOMAIN2.COM
default_domain = MYDOMAIN2.COM
}

Webintelligence Cache Mecanism
Hello,
i would like to start a discussion regarding Webi cache mecanism.
To my opinion cache information are stored into the following folder:
\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Data\myserver.domain\storage
and it contains report metadata and data as stored in the file store.
When a user asks for a report, webi will first try to retrieve it from cache and if it is not there it will retrive it from the filestore.
and that's it.
Once the user goes with a refresh of data there is no more interaction with the cache.
Some of my collègues think that data retrieved are cached as well for later resuse if another user asks for the same data (same prompt) for the same report.
That way how may BO know that data have not changed in the source?
What is your opinion on the mecanism?
Thanks a lot

Live Office 4.1 SP2 - How to get the prompt (Variable Screen) in a webi sourced from BEX?
I have a Webi report using a Bex Query as a source.
When I try to refresh the power point using live office 4.1 SP2, the prompt (variable screen) does not work anymore.
I found on the SAP user guide for Live Office 4.1 SP2:
"Note:
This version of the software also does not support prompts in Web Intelligence documents based on
BEx Query data that is accessed directly."
Does anyone have the same issue?
Any ideas when that will be solved?
Thank you
