Hi All,
One of my user gets an attached error when he opens a report. I noticed that, this happens because his report always open in "Design" mode. Now when we click on "Reading" mode, it works fine.
Also, this behavior is happening only for one report. What can be the issue ? Is there a way in settings that I can do, so that the report always opens in "Reading" mode.
BI4.1 SP1
Thanks,

Question: I would like to publish PDF files to BI Launch pad 4.1
I know thier are many ways to produce PDF from Crystal reports and other tools, however in this case I have a PDF I would like to distribute created by another application and I would like share the file using BI Launch pad 4.1
Does anyone have suggestions on how I can acomplish this?
We want to upgrade our BI 4.0 to BI 4.1 on Windows platform. I know BI 4.0 to 4.1 is simple in-place update. But we also want to do homogeneous migration clubbing both upgrade and migration together.
I think to do installation of BI 4.1 on fresh Windows host and select option Custom (New) installation and choose "Select Existing CMS Database Type". Will this option install BI 4.1 and also bring the data from old source of BI 4.0?
Hi
I know how to publish a Webi block as a web service and use it in xcelsius to view the data.
I wanted to know if I can call/consume a web service like http://server:8080/dswsbobje/services/BIPlatform
from Xcelsius. I thought I could just paste this URL in WSDL URL in connection in xcelsius and click on Import
and it will list all the available methods under this service but it doesn't. Or these service can only be consumed
thru some programming language like Jave or .Net. What am I missing?
Thanks

Hi,

If I have installed how do i connect app and web?
Hello,
We have BO 4.1 sp1 (on mostly BW) with winAD enabled. We have mapped the groups and imported the AD users to BO. The users have no problem logging in and viewing reports. The company has a policy of updating AD passwords in every 2 months so that we have decided to schedule to update the AD groups every hour.
Recently We have witnessed a strange problem and suspect it is due to the scheduled update of the imported AD groups. In CMC some BO users have their database credentials enabled so that they can only view the restricted data on coming from Bw. The problem is, those database credentials we have entered is somehow changed on its own to the id number of the imported user. We don't want that, because there is no such bw user.
We suspect, some property (id number perhaps) of the AD user is mapped to the database credentials of the imported BO user so that it updates that part. And there is one more thing, each time we update the AD groups, the database credentials are not always overwritten. I am still trying to figure out the pattern (if there is one).
Any ideas or suggestion will be helpful.
Thank you very much

We want to buy the Crystal Reports Server to utilize its InfoView feature for deployment and publishing, but the install isn't going too well.......
The install process is asking for CMS Cluster Key and we have none.
Please help.
Dear All, We are on BOBI 4.1 SP2 and we are updating to SP4. This is imp as we want to integrate recent sharepoint server. We are on SUSE linux. We got the tar files on shared location on Linux. This shared location is available on both Linux and HP machines. Now SAP team untar Linux Install files by logging into HP and untar from there. untar from HP for Linux did not work well. Some files are copied with missing extension i.e. .z instead of .zip. We started the install but it failed as it was looking for assembly.zip file and we had assembly.z file in /<Install>/InstallData/InstallCache directory.
We came to know this and now we untar files using Linux server. Now we see the files with correct extensions. We started the SP4 update from this new location but this failed again. Installer will skip the files which were previously copied and start from next steps. Files previous copied in installCache folder is wrong files.
Now we are stuck. We don't know how to force installer to recopy all the files it previously copied. It always uses the old files which are corrupt.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hello, Community,
i'm struggling with the parameter dialog in the CrystalReportViewer.
I hope, i'm posting this question in the right place...
I'm developing a JSP application to display Reports. Parameter values are read from a database, when the report is opened, set to the viewer and saved to the database, when the user changes them in the viewer. This works fine.
But as soon as i set the parameter values programmatically to the viewer, the Parameter dialog is not showing up any more, and the report is opened immediately with these parameters. Instead, i would need to set the parameter values as suggest values, so the user can see and change them in the dialog.
I tried several approaches to set the values in a way to get this behavior with no success (it's more like guessing and not knowing, what i do).
Is it maybe possible to get the values from the database and save them in the report document somehow?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Here is the code where i set the parameter values to the fields:
List<ParameterInfo> results = queryBean.getReportParameters(reportName);
if (results == null || results.isEmpty()){
return;
}
String parameterName = "";
ParameterField paramField = null;
Values newValues = null;
// now map the parameter values to the parameter
for (ParameterInfo parameterBean : results){
// yet another value for the same parameter?
if (!parameterBean.getParameterName().equals(parameterName)){
newValues = new Values();
parameterName = parameterBean.getParameterName();
// get the next parameter field
paramField = getParameterField(parameterName, paramFields);
if (paramField != null){
paramField.setCurrentValues(newValues);
}
}
// set the parameter value from parameterBean to the value list
if (paramField != null){
addParameterValue(paramField.getType().value(), parameterBean, newValues);
}
}
// set the fields with the new values to the viewer
crViewer.setParameterFields(paramFields);
Hi,

BO Single sign on configuration with existing BOBJ user
We are above to do single sign on configuration between SAP BW and BO 4.1 . I referred documents of SSO SAP Authentication of SAP BW and SAP BO.
Analysis
As per the document it shows we need to create a role “Crystal enablement” with required authorization in SAP BW
Authorization such as Crystal/Security/ , BDH,BDL5………etc
And after that we need to add the role to users
Concerns & Doubts
Please suggest .
Environment
BW 7.3

Hello All,
I have a situation at my work place. We are planning to update our BusinessObjects version. I would give the exact scenario of what's happening.
We are currently using the version XI R2. We also have an unused version of XI 3.1 which they tried to upgrade, but failed, as IE9 did not support it. So, they were waiting for a better version that supports our situation. Finally, they found XI 3.3 SP5 as the suitable one for our situation.
My question is, if we have to migrate XI R2 to XI 3.3 SP5, do we have to first upgrade the XI 3.1 whcih is sitting idle, to 3.3 SP5? or can we directly move from XI R2 to 3.3 SP5? In that case, what about 3.1 which is already there, do we have to uninstall it? Which one would be the best approach?
Please someone let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is there a metric in CMC which can be used to send an alert notification when a crystal reports schedule runs for more than certain time (say 3mins)?
in other words, a scheduled report has been running for more than 3mins.
Using BI4.1 sp1
Thanks!

We have an issue isolated to one client PC where the font size of the UI is enormous and thus not all checkboxes, buttons etc are visible (see attached screenshot). This happens with both the thin and thick client. Any idea how to resolve?
