Hi Sweety,
What happens if you login as the Enterprise Adminstrator account, do you get the option to View Latest Instance?
- What do you mean exactly when you say you cannot view the latest instance?
- Are you missing the option/context menu or is the incorrect report displaying?
I would suggest working with your Enterprise Administrator to ensure you have sufficient rights to View the latest instances. However, if you're not able to select the option check out this SAP Note:

How to config for only "View Latest Instance" is available in infoview ?

Hi,
The BO version is "BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0"
The purpose is in infoview, for each report user can see, only the feature "View Latest Instance" is available.
I have tried to set the access right, but at least, the user has below features:
View
Properties
View Latest Instance
History
New
Add
Organize
Is there any idea to do remove the "View" feature but keep others there ?
Thanks & regards,
Forest

Hi Forest
I would like to make following suggestion :
The option "View" and can not be removed. It is the primary right to access the Report.
If there is no right "View Objects", Report will not appear in the desired folder.
It is important to have "View Objects" right which will make "View" appear. Once this right is present
rest of the situation for Report can be imagined.

InfoView - Default view latest instance possible?

Hi,
I have an issue with InfoView, and the opening/viewing of Desktop Intelligence reports.
The report I am talking about is scheduled on a daily basis (each night) so users don't have to refresh it every time they open it.
To view it via InfoView, they have 2 options:
a) The most usual and logical is to press the main hyperlink, the one which shows the name of the report. This is always showing you the report with the data from when you did a last refresh of it (report is set to not refresh data on open). Seemingly totally ignoring the scheduled instances!
b) Users can also open via 'View Latest Instance'. This shows the last result(instance) of the last successful schedule of the report.
This is confusing, since I would of course like the users to view the latest version(instance or whatever) of the report in both scenarios a and b.
Is it possible to make the main hyperlink with the name of the report point to the latest instance of the report also?? Or am I wanting too much here???
Thanks for any help!
Frode

Hi Frode,
Yes you can... In the CMC, goto to BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications --> InfoView and the Object Listing property set (1) View the Object or (2) View the latest successful instance of the object.
This is a global setting and affects all users so changing this setting here will make it the default setting for all users. No individual setting is available for a user.

How to hide the view latest instance option for the reports in XIR3

Created an access level and denied the rights "view document instances" and "view document instances that the user owns" in the access level.
Applied this access level for a particular group on a particular folder.
Login to Infoview and when view the history,there are no instances for a particular report under that folder.
But we could still see the 'View Latest instance' option in the properties of the report and when click on it,we are able to view the report.
As per the security assigned,the user should only be able to view the instances owned by him.
Plz help me how to hide the option in INFOVIEW

In 9.3.1 (not sure about 9.2) there is a table in your BIPlus repository which stores preferences/profile information, however, having a user simply log in to WA doesn't appear to automatically create a row for them in this table. (So this may not be a viable solution to your situation, I'm still looking for one myself.) This table stores lots of preference info such as whether or not to show the Main Menu, Toolbar, Masthead, etc. by default.
To hide the View Pane, edit the data in the SHOW_INFO_PANEL column, change it from a 1 to a 0 and for that user the View Pane will not longer appear by default.
HYA_USER_PREFS
But again, this only works if you already see the user in the table otherwise I guess maybe they have to 'touch' their Preference before it creates an entry in that table. Haven't figured that part out yet, and Support didn't have any information.
If anyone has found a way to maneuver through the table structures I'd love to hear any insight you can offer.
Before you make any changes to the data in this table be sure to take adequate repository backups, and use caution as usual.
I'm going to create a Shared Preference and have each user point to it the first time they log in - but then you lose the ability for each user to have their own personal folder as their default, so it's still not the ideal solution. Really wish there was a way for Admins to set certain prefs. A coworker reminded me under 7.? or 6.x things like View Pane were system-level settings which was easy to control, but now it's at the user level.
Good luck,
Karen

BO 3: View Latest Instance by default

Hi gurus!
I have an issue i cant resolve. Please, help me with adivce.
I made a bex with no variables. The one variable is bex date that equals current date (0P_ERC01).
Then i created universe in Universe Designer, base on this bex. AFter that i've created report. This report will transfer data to the dashboard via QaaS.
As the report will have much amount of data, i want it to be scheduled for everyday execution. So, everyday business user will open a dashboard and will get cached current date information from the latest instance.
For this purpose i want to use standart scheduling in BO InfoView (vers. 3).
How should i do this?
For testing i've created a test report and scheduled it to execute every 5 minutes:
The last successfull instance was at 10:04.
But when i open a report (not an instance) - i see the data, that i was updated manually at 09:44
How can i get a fresh data in report, a data from the latest instance?
Now i can get this data just by pressing "View Latest Instance"
So i want my report to be refreshed by latest instance every time when the instance is executed successfully.
Waiting for your questions and advices.
Thank you!

Doble click on a report, it opens the latest instance.
Right click, then view, opens the report. there is no way that by clicking on 'View', you get the latest instance.
best regards,

View latest Instance Option in Dashboard

Dear Experts,
Could you please tell me the advantages of VIew latest Instance Option in Live Office Connection in case of every user has different authorizations.
Please answer the below things.
1)If we create a Dashboard using the View Latest Instance option after scheduling the Report,what are things we have to do so that every user can see the data
based on his related authorization?
2)If users are more number ,then is the View Latest Instance Option in Live Office Connection is the right option,in case every user have his own Authorzation?
If yes ,how the dashboard ll work for different Users?
3)Users how can see the dashboard in which they should able to see the data related to their Authorization?
Could you please share ideas related to View latest Instance Option?
Regards,
Venkat

HI Wolfgang - not sure it's possible. You'd probably have to leverage an alternate scheduling 'destination', i.e. if for instance you schedule to a users Inbox, then they should see the latest instance in their inbox - no right-clicking required to open that. Possibly impractical if separate instance is created for each user - though I'd hope this wouldn't be the case if the report contents are the same for everyone.
Cheers, Ferdie.

"View Latest Instance" as Default in BOE XI 4.0

Dear all,
I am using a BO BI Platform 4.0 to deploy Crystal Reports in my organization. These reports are scheduled daily, users are viewing these reports via the BI Launch Pad.
Now I want to protect my users from the need to click first on the document and then on the "View Latest Instance" as this would most likely be asking to much of them. So - I would like to make the "View Latest Instance" the default behavior when users click on a document.
I read a couple of forums and it seems up to XI3.1 this was possible. However, is seems that the feature is gone with BIP4.0.
Or is there still a method to achive what I want?
Thanks & best reagrds
Wolfgang

Unable to view latest default trace in log viewer

Hello all,
We have NW 7.0 J2EE production server. We have a CI and two application servers.
Our SP level is SP18.
The DB is oracle and the operating system in RHEL 4.
I have a problem in viewing the default trace files in log viewer using the visual administrator.
I am able to view the old default trace but unable to view the latest trace data generated.
I am facing this problem when i try to view the logs of a particular application server.
Able to view the latest default trace properly for CI and the other application server. Problem lies only with a single application server.
I have also check the permissions in OS level for the trace files. Everything looks fine.
Could some one give me a clue on how to solve this issue.
Regards,
Chandru

Hello Joey,
The trace file isnt too big....
We have set the file size as 10 MB.
We have some 15 to 16 default trace files for each of the server process and we have 3 server process in that application server.
The ForceSingleTraceFile parameter is set as YES in visual admin.
So the logs will be displayed in visual admin as a single default trace file.
Hope I had provided the inputs you have asked...

Chandru

Unable to view SQL Instance when install SP2

Hello All,
I am trying to update my version of SQL 2012 (Build 11.0.3128) to at least CU2, however whenever I try and run any update package (even up to SP2), I am unable to see my instance to upgrade. I can only see shared features. I am using a Named Instance.
SQL is running as expected, browser etc all are only and can be queried.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

It looks as though I have resolved the issue... and it turns out to be a rather embarrassing PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer) error.
My instance is x86 and my SP is x64. DOHHH!

[BO XI 3.0] view document instances count is wrong

If a user does not have the "View document instances" right and there are schedules set up for a particular report to go to other users then the count showing in InfoView is not zero, it counts all the recurring and successful instances even though that user cannot see them!
I can't see this mentioned in fixed issues manuals for FP1, FP2 or FP3, and I can't find a fixed issues manual for BO XI 3.1
What we want to happen is when a report is scheduled back to default destination ( i.e. public folders ) then we give the users the "View document instances" right and then the instances count would alert them to click the "view latest instance" option rather than just double clicking as they used to do in V5.1.9, but given that it counts other users schedules as well then that does not seem to be much use to alert users
I know there is a global option to "open latest instance" but that fails because if there is not a latest instance then it does nothing when you double click
anybody got any ideas about this?
regards
Andrew Dale

How to sync the latest instance' of scheduled report with the report link

I've scheduled one report daily and it seems to be working fine: I can view the latest instance or I can do it from the history.
But when I'm trying to open report using traditonal link to the report, it shows only content based on the last save manual event after refreshing.
I'm looking for a way to sync reports under 'View Latest Instance' link and Report link.
Any ideas?
thx

Jacques, thanks a lot, it is very helpful.
But now I got another headache, the link to that report shows the latest instance, but 'View' link points to old report manually run and it can be confusing for customer.
What will be next logical step: remove 'View' but how or I can add time-stamp to each report to highlite when the report is produced
Any suggestions?
anyway, many thanks for your help

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

Unable to view PDF files in Infoview

I am unable to view pdf files in InfoView (Business Objects Edge Series XI 3.0)
When I select the pdf file from Infoview, I receive the message 'Do you want to save this file' which only allows me to save the document to a location on my computer.
Other users can view the file in Infoview, so it probably relates to a setting on my computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've had a little look on Adobe's knowledge base; try this to check whether the issue is related with opening PDF in your browser in general:
"Determine if the web browser can open the PDF file from your local hard drive rather than from the web:
In the web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
Choose All Files from the Files Of Type pop-up menu (Windows)
Click Browse
Select the PDF file you saved in step 1 of task 5, and then click Open to open the PDF file. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file, but won't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file."
If so, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here:
