Webi Report Schedule failing in BI Launchpad

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has come across this error message when trying to schedule a webi report in BI Launchpad.
Firstly, the webi report refreshes successfully in BI Launchpad. The source for the Webi report is an OLAP universe that was migrated from a 3.1 environment into BI 4.0.
The error message occurring when scheduling is:
'while trying to invoke the method org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject.eClass() of an object loaded from local variable 'eObject' '
I haven't been able to find any documentation on this error message on a failed scheduled.
If anyone has an idea what might be causing this I would appreciate the help.
Many thanks,
Ainsley

Hi,
- Does your souce BEx have SAP Variables coming through to the OLAP universe as Filters?
- Does your WebI document's dataprovider have filters defined as Prompts in the query panel ?
- or, I wonder if 'local variable' may refer to a report-level variable ? i doubt it. i imaging it's the SAP VAR.
I know that these 2 types of prompts have been troublesome on occasions with scheduling.
Please check Note 1602665 - SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 SP02 Patch 2.6 Release Notes
and refer to the fixed issues .pdf attached
there are a number 3 / 4 corrections for scheduling webi with prompts ontop of bw

Webi Report scheduling issue

Dear Experts,
I have webi reports which are running fine when i refresh the query from query panel. When i am scheduling the report it is failing.
My webi reports are connected to the Bex Queries using OLAP Connections which is working fine for other reports.
I am getting the following error message
"Can not connect to the source olap com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (103) JCO_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Access key access is no longer possible"
Because of this BW Credentials are getting locked and user cannot able to access the BW System.
Kindly help us getting this issue solved.
Thanks in advance.
THanks & Regards,
Archit Sarwal

Hi Archit,
Try this...
Logon to Central Management Console (CMC) with an Administrator user.
Click on OLAP Connections.
Right click on the connection and click User Security.
Assign Full Control to the User on the connection.

WEBI Report Scheduling based on event.

Hello All,
We have a requirement to schedule a webi report based on event generated by ETL loads.
Scheduling works fine based on events.My requirement is If event is not generated we want to schedule the report at specific time.Lets assume event will generate between 10 Am to 11 Am.If event is not generated report will not schedule,but we want schedule report after 11 Am.
Please let us know if any one have solution for the above
Thanks,
Kumar

You can schedule your report based on the file event to look for the trigger file till 11 AM. If the file not generated, you can use the below VB Script to generate the file in the desired location by 11 AM.
Private Sub writeDebug(ByVal x As String)
    Dim path As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)
    Dim FILE_NAME As String = path & "\mydebug.txt"
    MsgBox(FILE_NAME)
    If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = False Then
        System.IO.File.Create(FILE_NAME).Dispose()
    End If
    Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME, True)
    objWriter.WriteLine(x)
    objWriter.Close()
End Sub
Script does the below operations:
It will verify if the file already exist for the day.
If it does not exist, it will overwrite the old file with the new one. If already exist, the script will end.
Script contains "Debug" function which will be helpful for your analysis.
Add this program to your scheduler to run everyday at 11 AM.

Filter condition for Webi report scheduling

Hello,
I have a Webi report with a query that has one filter (it states the starting and ending date of data to be displayed in the report). This report has to be scheduled but it has to contain different filter values each time the report is run.
I'd like to know if there is a way to schedule this report taking into account that each iteration of the scheduling process has to use different values for the filter.
On the same way, the Webi report has a XY diagram with a text title made up of a fixed literal label. Is there any way to inject the text title from the scheduling process (in order to avoid editing the report before each scheduling iteration occurs)?
Thanks a lot!

Victor,
one filter (it states the starting and ending date of data to be displayed in the report). This report has to be scheduled but it has to contain different filter values each time
There are a couple of ways to handle this requirement, depending upon other environmental factors. Here is one method, but it requires the ability to update/change data at the database using an external tool (anything that permits processing transactional information).
You can set up an additional table with two columns: starting_date and ending_date
Someone updates the additional table as appropriate before the next run will kick off in the schedule.
The tricky part is in getting your current report to incorporate the other table, and for this you may need to either create a view in your database or a derived table in your universe. Here is the rudimentary SQL structure that might work for you:
create table start_end_dates (beginning_date datetime,end_date datetime)
go
insert into start_end_dates values ('9/1/2009','9/30/2009')
go
create table my_data (col_a char(1),month_id datetime)
go
insert into my_data values ('a','9/1/2009')
insert into my_data values ('a','10/1/2009')
go
select *
from my_data
where month_id >= (select beginning_date from start_end_dates) and
month_id <= (select end_date from start_end_dates)
The start_end_dates table is the one that receives a single input, populated with the starting and ending date of data. The "my_data" table is an example of how the source table can call in the "parameters" of the "start_end_dates" table to fulfill its quest for filtering (additional filtering on other things within your scenario can also be applied).
Once you can get the mechanics of the SQL to work for you (either in the universe or a view), then you can set the report up to work hand-in-glove with the above structure. In the report, you can either have a second data provider that selects on the "start_end_dates" table, storing that data in the report and displaying it somewhere, or you could use the min(month_id) and max(month_id) concepts and display that somewhere too.
Thanks,
John

Webi/Report : Schedule : Destination configuration

In the Report : Schedule : Destination of Webi, is it possible to disable the "Use the Job Server's defaults" check box in ?

Oh, I am not sure if you can simply change an config file to achieve this. We had to modify the JSP code behing the schedule page to make the tweaks. But I could be wrong and there might be an easier way to do it that I don't know of.
If at all you want to play around with the JSP code, I think you might want to look at the file -
desktoplaunch\InfoView\schedule\destination_include.jsp

Server Side Trust and Webi Report Scheduling via Portal

Hello,
I have opened a similar thread about Server Side Trust and webintelligence reporting through the portal a few months ago.
At the time, we had some complaints about users that were getting SSO errors after 8 hours when scheduling WeBi Report through the SAP Portal.
Basically, the users connect to the Portal and then FROM the Portal, to a BOI view pointing to the Infoview.
Then, after investigatinon, it was my understanding that the WebI Reports should be scheduled through an Infoview token and not a portal token. In concrete terms Server Side Trust had to be implemented between the SAP BW Backend and the BOE 3.1 Server.
And after that the users who wanted to schedule WebI reports should connect to the Infoview directly (using their SAP BW credentials) to generate an Infoview Token.
Scheduling Webi reports from the Portal will not be solved by implementing Server Side Trust, since it is only a matter of time before the the Portal token expires ( 8 hour by default).
Now, I have configured the server side Trust between our BOE 3.1 SP2 and our BW 701 system, SNC configuration, PSE generation, exchange of certificats , etc ...
I did some scheduling tests connecting directly to the BO Infoview and it works.
But of course, now I am being told by the users that this solution is not acceptable.
The Portal being the entry point of our Infrastructure, they don't want to connect to the Infoview to schedule their reports.
So I opened a SAP customer call to try to have an official and clear statement from SAP but I never obtained it.
I had a look at my SAP BO courses but I am still confused
For example according to SAP BO100 , server side trust should be implemented when ;
"BOE client session authenticated using Single sign on using SAP token
(Enterprise Portal) and SAP reports are being scheduled at a future point in
time (after token expiry date)."
Anyone can help me to clear my mind ?
Thank you
Best Regards

Hi,
first of all lets separate the UI portion from the technical portion.
on the technical side:
yes for scheduling the Web Intelligence document you will need Server side trust
on the UI side:
- scheduling is part of InfoView
- scheduling is part of the KM integration with the portal
if that is not accepted from a UI point of view from the user you can create your own application to schedule documents using the SDK.

Report schedules failing silently

Hi SAP BI gurus and experts!
We are facing a tough intermittent issue concerning report scheduling. From time to time, mostly on a weekly basis, scheduled reports are not sent via email to the recipients. We try to check on CMC if there's any error, but cannot find anything there - no error status or error message for any report instance. Most of the time, when we restart AdaptiveServer service, emails that had not been sent are then sent normally.
Does any of you have faced this issue before?
Could you tell us how we could see the status of the sent/not sent reports?
We are also checking the log, as described in this post Schedule report (log file) to see if we can find something there.
Are we checking the right places? Any ideas on what could be causing this behavior?
We are using SAP BI 4.0 SP9.
Thanks!!
Best Regards,
Luigi

hi,
You will not get instances of friday and saturday.
You will get an instance on the day your cms starts.

WebI reports Scheduling using ASG Zena Schedular(third party tool)

I have 90 Web Intelligence reports developed i need to Schedule them using a third party tool ASG Zena, if any body has any Idea or already done this activity please respond ASAP.
Thank you in advance.

There is no command line interface for scheduling reports, so you're going to have write a program to do the actual scheduling. I recommend this program up so that you can pass in the report ID or name and the parameters. That way you can use one program to schedule all reports. Your scheduling system would then run a .bat file that contains the specific information for the report being scheduled.

Cannot connect to the OLAP source - when Scheduling WebI Report

Hi,
I am confused by seeing the above mentioned error on random days....
Scenario - WebI report scheduled daily:
Some days the report works fine and other days it is not processing correctly but gives me this error message "Cannot connect to the OLAP source".
Our connection is via BICS and it is SSO. Data Source is BW and we use BEX.
Person who scheduled report has admin rights, our version is 4.0 SP7 P5.
Please advise if anyone has faced this issue and if there is a solution, did try the community but only found that the key store was a problem but that was previous versions.
Any help or input is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sarat.

Hi Sarat,
This problem can occur for multiple different reasons, so it's hard to give an advice for such symptom. Could you look at trace files from SemanticLayer component (it is hosted in APS with DSLBridge service), you should find clearer errors which can then be analyzed. There is no need to activate logs if it is still at level 'Unspecified', errors have level high enough to be output by default.

Crystal Reports Publication fails when using dynamic recipients

Hi experts,
We are facing a problem related with the BOE 3.1 Dynamic recipients Publication.
We have created a Publication with just one Crystal Report based on a MDX Query. We send the report in PDF format to email destinations
Dynamic recipients are defined in a WebI report pulling data from a BW query universe. We can display the email, user ID, Use Name and other fields we would like to use as dynamic parameters.
Server side trust seems to be configured (is there any way to test it is properly configured?).
The Publication is working fine with enterprise recipients (which have SAP BW account), and each recipient receive its PDF by email.
When we execute same report with dynamic recipients without selecting dynamic personalization parameters it is working fine. But when we select one dynamic parameter (which is coming from the WebI report we use for dynamic recipients) eg: Profit Centre, the Publication fails and we get a Database Connector error:
2011-02-14 08:53:25,275 ERROR [PublishingService:HandlerPool-13] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminErrorLog_Instance_31036 - [Publication ID # 31036] - Scheduling document job "P&L" (ID: 31,051) failed: Error in File ~tmp191067bfa343ff0.rpt: Database Connector Error (FBE60502) [1 recipients processed.]
How can a dynamic parameter affect on the Database Connection?
Does anyone have an idea about what could be wrong?
Thanks!

Ino, what do you mean for "technical name or the member unique name"? Are you talking about the SAP User name? So in the dynamic recipients we can find these parameters:
- Recipient Identifier (required):
- Full Name:
- Email:
In the Recipient Identifier I should refer to a SAP user?
Dynamic recipients option is working for same recipients. The problem appears when I assign one parameter to a field coming from the dynamic webi report.It fails with the previously detailed error. This parameter assignment seems to be causing the Database Connector error.

SAP BO WEBI Reports - Auditing, Monitoring, Statistics

Hi WEBI experts,
what software tools are available/recommended that can be used to track report access statistics for web intelligence reports that are using universes and also bex queries as data sources?
(we are not interested in overall server metrics like cpu, ram, ...)
Scenario:
- mix of BO Reports (mainly WEBI: with both Universes and BEx Queries as data sources)
- the reports are accessed by the users via BIP Launchpad BI Workspaces
- we would like to find out which reports are used the most (daily, monthly, yearly) so that we have a list of all the reports that can be sorted based upon their popularity, where popularity is either the overall number of times the report was opened or the overall number of the unique users who opened the report; how many users opened each report and how many times over a selected time period
Any suggestions for suitable software or tutorials that can be used for webi reports monitoring opened via bip launchpad?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
David Gyurasz

Failed Scheduled webI reports

I am running a BO Enterprise 3.1 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have recently updated to SP2. I am having the issue of any webI report that I would like to schedule that was created on 3.1 pre-SP2 and post SP2 fails when scheduled. My webI reports that existed on BOXI R2 seem to be behaving.
I'm getting the following error.
"Could not save the document to the repository for the following reason: [repo_proxy 17] unable to find the info : unknown session (WIS 30567) "
A work around seems to be re-writing the reports in deskI, but there are too many of them for that to be feasible.
Any ideas?

I have encountered the same error today. We upgraded to XI 3.1 SP2 a few months back, but this is the first time I have seen this error. I read the SAP NOTE 1381401 on the support site, however the Note doesn't mention any work around. I took a stab in the dark and restarted the servers AdaptiveJobServer, AdaptiveProcessingServer, InputFileRepository, OutputFileRepository, WebIntelligenceProcessingServer from the Central Management Console. This seemed to resolve the issue, although I probably didn't need to restart all of these servers.
The SAP Note mentions in the Symptoms that this occurs in a clustered environment, but our environment isn't clustered, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Scheduled webi reports fail, why? If I restart BO services they work again

Hello.
I'm having a problem with my scheduled Webi reports and I don't know what is causing it. I have some reports scheduled to run at 8:00 am, and are supposed to be sent to a determined e-mail. Last week it worked well and the reports were sent to their destination successfuly, then this week the same reports didn't reach their destination. I verified in the History option and all of them showed a Failed status. I checked the detail and this is what it shows:
Unexpected exception caught. Reason: [java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null.]
If I try to reschedule these reports or any other report or a new report I get the same error. The only way I can make the schedule option work again for my webi reports is restarting BusinessObjects services.
But I guess this is not the right solution.
What can I do? How can I determine what is causing my scheduled webi reports fail?
What does this java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null message mean?
Is there a way I could track the service that is failing? which BO service is the service that manage the Schedule reports?
Any help is welcome.
