Provide Edit WebI reports authorization with Save as option.

Hello Experts,
I am new to BO authorizations.
I have a scenario where i need to provide my users Edit rights(not modify) and provide them with Save As access while denying the save access(So that they don't overwrite the original report with their changes).
I was able to provide my users access to reports (like view & refresh) but they are not able to edit reports(have already provided Edit report access for Webi), also  "save as" come grayed out while Save option is active.
Can anyone suggest how shall i proceed to give the users required rights.
Thanking you in anticipation.
We are on BO 4.0 SP6.

Hello Anurag,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already assigned Schedule & VOD access for the folder but that doesn't help. and at Webi Application level i have allowed almost all the formatting options.
also  the Manage - top level security for folders wont work for me as I have to give the users access to their specific folder "A" only.
Best Regards
-Neeraj.

  • SAP BO 4.1 Webi report sample with prompts to try Restful api

    I was not able to find, in the report demo samples available in the SAP BO 4.1 installation, a Webi report with prompts.
    I found many Webi reports samples but all are without prompts.
    I need at least one Webi report sample with prompts to try the Restful API http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/parameters and http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/schedules with parameters body.
    Where can I found such webi sample?
    Thanks,
    Riccardo

    As you have BI 4.1 installed, you could design a sample webi report using Webi Rich Client tool.
    Open Webi rich client, select the sample eFashion universe drag few objects in the query and a filter. Set the filter as a prompt and save the report to Enterprise.
    Now you could now use this sample report for your handson on REST SDK.

  • How to run webi report automatically with the current date/system date in webi report

    Hi Friends,
    I have a webi report which has a date prompt now. Based on the selection that user makes while running a report, he will get the related data for that particular date selection. Now I want to make that date prompt automated that is the report should run automatically based on the system date daily on scheduling.
    I want it to run current day automatically without have to go in and pick the date in webi report. I will be scheduling the webi report. Can you please let me know how to achieve this functionality of running a webi report automatically with a system date.
    Please let me know if I couldn't make you understand so that I will write with an example.
    Waiting for your valuable solutions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar

    Hello Bhasakar,
    1.Create sysdate object in the universe
    2.Create another query in webi and select only sysdate object
    3.In the original query drag the Day object in the filter pane and choose the "List of values" from another query.and select the sysdate object from the second query.
    So your report always will run for sysdate...

  • Webi Reports - Object with id ... cannot be created because it has no name

    I'm trying to launch a Webi report from our application using openDocument method. When the report is launched it fails with following error -
    30567: Unable to save the document to the repository due to the following error: The object with id number '27731' cannot be created because it has no name. (Error: WIS 30567)
    Before scheduling the report I'm calling setName method to set the name of the report but still it does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Manas

    Hi John,
    I will try to give you some more background about this problem.
    From our application we are not directly launching the report. We schedule it to run immediately and then view the instance created (using the instance id returned by the schedule call).
    For scheduling we use the web services API (BIPlatform) and before scheduling we fetch all the prompts (again using a webservice API). The call is something like this -
    WebiProcessingInfo wProcessingInfo = boWebIReport_.getWebiProcessingInfo();
    After that we populate all the prompts with their corresponding values in application and schedule it. However the scheduling fails with the error I mentioned in the start of this thread and when we try to view it we are presented with a screen to enter prompts again.
    From the scheduling error it looks like its failing because the name could not be set but I really doubt if thats the case. We use same calls to schedule and view Crystal reports also and they work perfectly. Only Webi is giving this error.
    Thanks for looking into this.
    Manas

  • WEBI reports integration with SAP portal

    Hello BO experts-
    Our client is looking to integrate WEBI reports with SAP portal. I found some documents which describe about have an url iview.
    I just want to find out if it is possible to federate webi server with SAP portal.
    Thanks,

    I don't think you can federate WebI server with SAP portal.
    You can use WebI report IDs and integrate with Portal.

  • Webi report publication with org unit personalization mapping

    Hi everyone,
    I have an HR Webi report whose source is a Bex query and is scheduled (published) weekly. The report is meant for managers so in the dynamic recipient report (another webi report) I have manager's name, email and org unit. Right now the bex query does not restrict by organizational unit, the filtering by unit is done in webi through the 0employee's org unit attribute. This works, each manager only sees data of her own employees.
    However, managers would like to see not only their direct people (employees belonging to her own org unit) but also submanagers, ie, managers of subordinate org units. I tried filtering through the org unit of 0ORGUNIT, not the employee's o.unit attribute, but that doesn't work. The same manager shows up multiple times in the report.
    Has anyone managed to publish a webi report (or Crystal if that's possible) that shows the chief hat's subhierarchy?
    thanks

    Hi Graham,
    The publication should work in the same way for a user or a group.
    Can you please elaborate on u201Cassigning a user to the groupu201D, I believe this is probably where you go wrong. 
    Please test same workflow I suggested yesterady, but instead of user, use the group:
    1. create the profile
    2. add the group to the profile
    3. assign the profile value to the group for that profile
    4. add the group to the publication as Recipient
    Does it work or not?  If so, then do as follow for the user and group:
    1. create the profile
    2. Add user and group to the profile
    3. assign the profile value to the user and group for that profile
    4. add the user and group to the publication as Recipient
    Please note that in the above steps, you donu2019t have to assign the user to the group.

  • I can't open a web page saved with "save page as" from the Firefox (3.6.16) file menu. What gives?

    The icons for the saved page appear in the folder selected (e.g., Desktop)--and the default "whole web page" was selected in the "save as" box--but either double-clicking or right-clicking and selecting "open" on either icon leads to zippo. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you have any custom DNS settings on the devices that cannot connect?
    What happens If you connect to a different Wifi network outside of your home with any of the devices that can't open the website in your home, can you view the website?
    If you Ping the website from home what IP address does it attempt to ping?

  • Web Reporting Authorizations for Web Application Designer

    Hi,
    any information on authorizations in context with the Web Application Designer would be appreciated. I know the data access is regulated the normal class RS and RSR authorization objects. Any way to secure and regulate access to the Web items in the WAD?
    thanks,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Security settings are the standard ones (RS/RSR) as you mention plus limiting access to Web templates using roles.
    I do not know any mean to limit access at the web item level; you can define security restrictions on the underlying queries though.
