Post Author: hcso
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello All,
Did you find the users had a hard time grasping the concepts of creating reports as ad hoc reports using Infoview or have you implemented that?
Thank you!

in my organization i've faced much hard time teaching users how to create ad-hoc reports using webIntelligece it may took some time from them to get how to use that, but after 3 or 4 months they are ok with it, and they are generated their own reports,
all things is based on the business itself and also how much ur universe design is suitable to that business , if you made a good design , which they can understand it easly then you will not face much of problems with the users.
one more thing, there is a group of smart users who can understand the system quickly , focus on them, and let them teach the other ppl, just to save your time, dont waste much of time with the user , i admit you've many other things to do with the system.
good luck

  • Error while scheduling DESKI report in infoview

    I m scheduling a DESKI report to users enterprise inbox from infoview using a server group. This server group has DesktopIntelligence Job server, Destination Job server, Adaptive Job server and Program Job servers and all these servers are running.
    When I schedule the report to boldusers enterprise inboxbold it get failed and shows this error message
    bolddestination DLL disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp] bold
    I m wondering what has to be enabled for scheduling a report to infoview's own inbox.

    Abhilash
    You are correct that it shows all the prompts but only when we run the report either directly from the CR Designer or via View on Demand in Infoview/CMC.
    But if I try to schedule an instance of this report, I am getting a check box in the parameter section which says "Show unused parameters" to see this dyanamic prompt. And When I check that box in Infoview still I am not able to select any value for this prompt as it's greyed out.
    Hope I am able to explain my query to you.
    Also attached a screen shot of the scenario for your reference.

  • DB error while running reports in InfoView

    Hi,
    we are trying to create a report in infoview.
    however we are facing following error while trying to create new webintelligence document or running existing report:
    A database error occured. The database error text is: (CS) "DBDriver failed to load : /bobje/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/dataAccess/RDBMS/connectionServer/libdbd_oci9.so (libclntsh.so.11.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)" . (WIS 10901)
    We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2, Oracle 11g server on Linux.  Both oracle and bo server are on same machine.
    thanks in advance.

    Looks to me that you are using the 64bit oracle driver. Make sure to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable (for th euser running the BO services) to point first to the directory with the 32bit libraries of the Oracle driver.

  • Error on Running Full Client Reports on Infoview

    I'm running WebI 6.x on a system with the following environment
    Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP 1Business Objects 6.5 SP2Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0
    Whenever I try to run a fullclient(FC) report through Infoview, I see the following error 'A system error occurred. (Error: INF 00130) (65535)'
    I've checked the following -
    1)Login user is a local administrator access on the system.2)Login user has been given 6 privileges through the 'Local Security Policy'. (Act as part of the operating system,Access this computer from the network, Logon as a batch job etc.)3)Password for the Login User was changed some time back, but has been updated using the 'Update Service Parameters' option on the   Configuration Tool.4)'BusinessObjects.document' was updated by giving all privileges to the login user, and selecting 'This User', and adding   the credentials of the Login User on the 'Identity' tab.5)bomain.key has the same name in the 'locdata' folder in <INSTALL FOLDER> -> <nodes> -> <servername> -> <clustername>
    Is there any other check that needs to be done?Also, can I have a separate user for starting the BO WebI & Scheduler service?Where do I provide such an authentication?Kindly advice.
    Thanks,Amit.

    You are running on Windows 9x or Me, right? The darn OS has 300 or so bytes allocated for environment by default.
    Try setting the Initial environment to 4096 in the Properties|Memory tab for the batch file. That will get rid of "Out of environment space". The syntax error is another matter; Windows (except NT and derivatives) shells do not allow '=' in an environment variables value. You cannot overcome that. Some software (Sybase for instance) interprets # as = just because of that. Unfortunately, the JVM doesn't take such an approach.
    Better, grab copies of Unix utilities for Windows (www.gnu.org) including the wonderful shell 'bash' and write .sh scripts, which are inherently more powerful.

  • Scheduling Crystal report from Infoview portal doesn't show up data

    "The crystal report is based on a SAP BI query. The parameters of the report are basically the parameters(SAP variables) of the SAP BI query. When we run the crystal report in the CR Report Designer tool, it runs fine showing all the data correctly. Then we published the crystal report to the Crystal Enterprise Server from the SAP BI system. Through the Infoview portal, the user clicks on the 'Schedule' link for the report and sets the parameters. When the 'Schedule' button is clicked, it runs successfully but no data is seen in the report except for the template. But under the same report, in Infoview portal, if the user selects "View" link, sets the parameters and then clicks the 'Execute' button, it runs successfully showing all correct data.
    Dont understand why it works for 'View' link but doesn't work for 'Schedule' link. Is there any setting that needs to be made for this?"
    Thanks in advance,
    Sri

    Once you tick the schedule button the History window opens and you should see your instance. Status is usually pending and after a refersh (scheduled for run now) you should get the status running/successfull or failed. What is your status here and what happend if you tick on the instance once you get the status successfull?

    Hi Sri,
    When we are able to see the report and unable to schedule the report with in the Info view, then check with the user rights.
    Just try to login with admin account and try to schedule the report.
    Also check the report in CMC and see the preview of the report.
    If the user doesn't have enough rights to schedule the report, then  it doesn't allow it.
    Also check with in the Folder rights with in the report is saved.

    Naveen.

  • Direct Print a webi report, from InfoView

    Hi,
    I want to direct print a webi report after I open it with InfoView, but i don't know if it's possible.
    Right now, when I open a webi report in InfoView I have a button saying "Print to PDF", which will open that report as a PDF document.
    But I want to print directly to a printer and not to open the report in a pdf viewer.
    Is there a way to have a direct print button in InfoView for webi documents ?
    Thank you.

    Hi Eugen,
    At this point it is not possible.
    Here is SAP Notes which clearly state that SAP BOJ is aware of it and got several enhancement request and these requests are reviewed every six months. Since these requests require major changes in the software, SAP BOBJ has not given any time frame of availability of this feature.
    Here is SAP NOTE: 1345933

  • Error: RWI 00223 when trying to view a Web Intelligence report in Infoview

    Hi,
    I have a problem when I try to view a webi report in infoview, I get the error message: "Could not get page number. (Error RWI 00223) (Error: INF)". It is possible to modify the report, and run the report from the development application.
    I am using BOXI release 2, SP 5 on a windows server. Tomcat. Java 1.5.
    I have tried to find an answer in the forums and have for instance tried to increase the heap size, it did not help. I have also read something about replacing jar files in the desktoplaunch folder in tomcat. Though, these files are not really covered by the ones found in ..\Business Objects\common\3.5\java\lib. So it does not feel like I can just replace them?
    Do you have any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    BR, Emma

    Hi Emma,
    Thanks for the information.
    Could you please review the following solution and information.
    BusinessObjects XI Release 2 is deployed in a distributed environment. Only the WCA.NET component of BusinessObjects XI Release 2 is installed on the IIS server.
    When attempting to view or edit a Web Intelligence document in the Java Report Panel, a "WIJ2002" error occurs.
    This error does not occur when BusinessObjects XI Release 2 is fully installed on the IIS server.
    Cause
    The TraceLog.dll file is not installed when only the Web Component Adapter is installed on the IIS server.
    Resolution
    Copy the TraceLog.dll file from a full installation of BusinessObjects XI Release 2 to the computer that has only the WCA component installed.
    Background
    This error occurs when the Java applet attempts to send a POST request. The IIS error log files show an HTTP 500 error with POST request type on the cdzisapi.wis file.
    The detailed error message thrown by the Java applet in the browser is similar to the following:
    "http://excalibur:80/businessobjects/enterprise115/cdzisapi.wis? java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://excalibur:80/businessobjects/enterprise115/cdzisapi.wis at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin.net.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.cpi.CPIConnection.postRequest(CPIConnection.java:440) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLViaHttp.loadScript(XMLViaHttp.java:144) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLViaHttp.initInstance(XMLViaHttp.java:971) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLSession.load(XMLSession.java:157) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLSession.load(XMLSession.java:45) at com.businessobjects.wp.om.OMSessionLoader.load(OMSessionLoader.java:29) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.TCMain.initClient(TCMain.java:1431) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.thread.InitAppletRunner.run(InitAppletRunner.java:81) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.cpi.CPIConnection.postRequest(CPIConnection.java:444) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLViaHttp.loadScript(XMLViaHttp.java:144) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLViaHttp.initInstance(XMLViaHttp.java:971) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLSession.load(XMLSession.java:157) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLSession.load(XMLSession.java:45) at com.businessobjects.wp.om.OMSessionLoader.load(OMSessionLoader.java:29) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.TCMain.initClient(TCMain.java:1431) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.thread.InitAppletRunner.run(InitAppletRunner.java:81) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Additional info:case 302675238 .

  • Not able to schedule Webi and Crystal reports in Infoview

    Hi All,
    We are using Business Objects XI 3.1.
    I am not able to schedule reports in Infoview irrespective of the report type.
    The Webi report throws the error "Bad Request(Invalid URL)" when I hit on the Format Destination section.
    The Crystal report without prompt hangs when I hit schedule button and the report with prompt throws the error "An error has occurred:Invalid postback or callback argument."
    Recently we installed the Fixpack 1.2 for XI 3.1.
    Thanks in Advance
    Umesh

    Hi Kilic,
    You mean to say re-install the Java version.
    Also there is issue in IIS Server. It always encounters a problem and stops. I have to restart the IIS Server. How to deal with these issues? Very confused

    Reagrds,
    Ramesh

    Hi Ramesh,
    It may seem like a lot of information, but from a debugging perspective it doesn't tell us much.
    You need to give some more info and even then it would probably be a good idea to call support.
    Can you tell us;
    Which version are you on?
    Can you open de document from another desktop intelligence machine, not only the one that it was built on?
    - This checks ; you can import the document; the structure of the document is fine (not corrupted).
    Can you refresh the document on that other machine?
    - This check ; the link to the universe is fine, the universe can be imported, the connection to the database is fine.
    What is your preference as a BOE user to view Deski documents?
    - Try a few others, so you know if the problem is with one type only (and which).
    Now you will have a few more pointers more as to where the problem lies.
    Even then it can be sheer size of the document, complexity of it, etc.
    Good luck,
    Marianne

    Hi Hitesh,
    Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
    Issue might be related to timeouts on the connection server.
                                                                                    Please login into CMC and go Home>servers , locate Input and Output File servers and modify timeout of each to be 60 minutes. Default is 10 mins                                                                               
    This 10min default value can be modified in the registry as well:                                                                  
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suit 11.5\File Server\Instances\input.<machine name>                                  
    There is a registry key called u201CServerMaxIdleTimeu201D. Modify it and change the decimal value to 90 (default is 10, max is 90).                                                                               
    After this change is made, please restart CMS and FRS servers and test same again. Please let me know the results.
