Backend BW roles for users needed when running reports in infoview?

Hello all,
We are using SAP BI Queries as the sources of our universes, the user is going to logon to infoview to run report in webi. We have created some access levels in CMC to restrict users, the question is - the user will still need some kind of backend BW roles to have access to the BI query that is developed in BW system right? That way the user can fetch data?
Let me know
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you are using SAP Authentication and Single sign on option in universe connection, the users must have sufficient roles to access SAP BW database.
if not, the only user login which you create during connection creation having roles to access to BW database is enough. In this case, the user can login to Infoview using any user and can access the report if he has priveleges to the report.
Hope this helps!

  • Failed to accept user input when run report on Web

    I've testing a report with one input parameter. It's a date with default current date. It is done by using SQL 'select sysdate from dual;' has been added to before form trigger. User is allowed to input any date other than the default sysdate before submitting the report. The report works fine when run in report builder, but it's failed to accepted user input date when called through web browser. The report still uses the current date as SQL parameter rather than user input date.
    Can anyone help me to fix this bug?
    The report is develped by Oracle 9i and is saved and run in .rdf format.

    I created a report with a user defined parameter p_date of DATE type. In the layout model, I created a field with p_date as data source. In the before form trigger, I put
    'select sysdate into :p_date from dual;
    I run the report through rwservlet:
    http://host:port/reports/rwservlet?report=datetest.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&paramform=yes
    In the html parameter form, I change the date from default current date to a future date and that date is shown in the final report.
    So I can't reproduce the bug.
    One thing you can try it to turn on reports server trace file, see what command line is sent to reports server when you submitting the parameter form.
    Thanks,

  • Proxy error when running reports in Infoview

    We are running XI 3.1 sp4 and are getting a Proxy error on some reports when running in PDF mode. Any ideas?
    Here's the error:
    Proxy Error
    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
    The proxy server could not handle the request GET /AnalyticalReporting/ViewAsPDF/Disposition Analysis Report.pdf.
    Reason: Error reading from remote server
    Apache Server at preprod.nalts.com Port 443

    Hi Sylvia,
    It seems that the reverse proxy you are using: Apache could have problems with the sessions of the users. I have seen the same behaviour with other Load Balancers. If you have different WAS in the backend, make sure they stay with the same WAS (session affinity).

  • Error when running reports: "File Server needs to be re-initialized"

    Hi.
    This error "File Server needs to be re-initialized" appears when our users try to run reports on 11.5.10. EBS.
    There is also a message box that appears and reads:
    "A error occurred while attempting to establish a conection to Application File Server. There may be a network configuration problem, or the TNS listener may not be running."
    This is a problem in our test environment. We recently ran autoconfig on the test side.
    I have checked Metalink and also wider google search.
    Perhaps we have an issue with the tnsnames files? Well, I verified this and the tnsnames in production and test, and they are the same.
    Perhaps a listener.ora file issue?
    "The issue is caused by the variables APPLFSTT and APPLFSWD is not being set properly in the <8.0.6_ORACLE_HOME> listener.ora file. " (Note 263654.1)
    I am trying to verify the meaning of the following (in listener):
    ( SID_DESC = ( SID_NAME = FNDFS )
    ( ORACLE_HOME = /oracli2/oracle/testora/8.0.6 )
    ,APPLFSTT=
    TEST_BALANCE;TEST;PROD_806_BALANCE;TEST_FO;TEST_806_BALANCE;PROD_FO,APPLFSWD=/or
    acli2/oracle/testappl/admin;/oracli2/oracle/testcomn/temp;/oracli2/oracle/testco
    mn/html/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted' )
    In the APPLFSTT entry, should there be any mention of "PROD" ? Shouldnt this all be changed to TEST?
    Also, comparing this to the PROD listener, the order of APPLFSTT is different:
    TEST: APPLFSTT=
    TEST_BALANCE;TEST;PROD_806_BALANCE;TEST_FO;TEST_806_BALANCE
    PROD:APPLFSTT=
    PROD_806_BALANCE;PROD;PROD_BALANCE;PROD_FO,
    I have made a copy of our listener in TEst, so I can edit the existing one. Trouble is, not sure if I even should try to edit it!
    Any suggestions, much appreciated.
    Oracle 9.2.0. AIX 5.2.
    Notes covered in Metalink:
    274177.1
    303971.1
    304568.1
    263654.1

    Yes thanks for that. Metalink has informed me to do the same, basically.
    But I am in the middle of a cloning, so I will finish that then run autoconfig once again.
    I already ran Autoconfig on both source and target, so will do again once this process is over.
    Cheers.

  • Changing role for users

    Hi,
    in forms 10g , it's possible to change the role for user
    REVOKE role_name FROM :USERNAME;

    This should work, but the user revoking a role from a different user needs to have the admin option of this role.
    When creating a role, by default the "Admin option" for that role should be enabled for the user creating the role.
    Normally, this would be the schema-owner of the application objects ...
    A user holding the "admin option" may grant a role to a different user and grant the other user "admin option" on this role...

  • To download content locally when needed when running TS

    Wanna ask, i am doing OSD in SCCM 2012 and all my TS i have set to download content locally when needed when running TS... Questions is:
    1) Will it download and copy temporarily only the OS image into the targeted machine or it will download all of the packages that is referenced by the TS into the targeted machine? Reason is because i can only see the downloading progress appear during the
    Apply OS steps when running the TS...
    2) After completed running the TS, will it remove the previously downloaded file on the targeted machine?

    Hi,
    1. Yes it will only download the packages that are needed by the installation.
    2. It depends, it will remove Images, but applications you install during the Task Sequence will still be in the SCCM Client Cache.

    2. Are you referring to the folder MSICache? Only cache folder that i can see got a lot of the software folders is this MSICache folder. Is there anyway that i can remove it after the TS completed running?
    Does this folder also cater for a normal software distribution. Any software that is execute for installation from the software center, will the software files be stored in the MSICache folder as well?

  • Role for Batch Scheduling and Running?

    Is there are role/combination of roles that will restrict who can schedule and run batch reports in Financial Reporting (9.3.01 or 9.3.1)? We're looking at "Scheduler", but the Job Runner portion of that role seems to apply only to Interactive Reporting and Production Reporting.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You must be doing the below activities while running full synch:
    1) Run the batch job for full synch one after another and not all together viz. first User Analysis when completed other can be scheduled
    2) Select the appropriate rule set
    3) Select one system at a time for running the job
    It needs to be run in the order as below and in FULL SYNC mode.
    a.USER SYNCHRONISATION
    b.ROLE SYNCHRONISATION
    c.PROFILE SYNCHRONISATION
    d.Batch Risk Analysis for Rule Set and Permission type individually for User, Role, Profile and Critical Actions
    e.And finally the Management reports which will update the INFORMER tab of Management reports.
    Schedule the job immediately or at specific time you want.
    The fulll synch should be done only once in month as it consume lot resources and mostly run during the night.
    If you are missing out on any of the activities then correct the same.
    We are able to successfully run the background job in full synch mode in Batch Analysis.

    Jwalant

  • Who granted role to user and when

    In Oracle 11g, is it possible to find out who granted a particular role to a user and when? Like maybe from logs?

    SELECT log_mode
      FROM v$databasewill tell you whether the database is running in ARCHIVELOG mode or not. You'd need for the database to be running in ARCHIVELOG mode and to have the archived logs back to the point in time that the role was granted in order to use LogMiner.
    I don't suppose there is any chance that you had enabled auditing of GRANTs prior to the role being granted, is there? That would be the appropriate way to capture that information going forward.

  • Internet Explorer Script Error when running report with user-entered params

    We are using Crystal Reports Version 11.0.0.1282.  We have multiple copies each installed on a separate computer.  We have a relatively simple report with a prompt for 2 values (parameters) to be selected or input by the users.  The desktop is either Windows XP SP3 or Windows Server 2003 SP2  On all the XP/SP3 computers, this report works as expected.  On the exception computer, the Windows Server2003 Desktop, we see the prompting screen with place holders for graphics instead of the buttons.  When we attempt to select a value for the parameter by keying in the value and clicking on the OK link (no button), we see message box titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" with text: An error has occurred in the script on this page.
    Line: xxx (varies depending on param chosen)
    char 1
    error: Object expected
    url: file:///c:/doc...../temp/1/prompting1.html
    ===============================
    Searhing around the forum and using Google, I found a suggestion to be copying the "prompting" folder and dll from a known working system - tried this, it didn't work.
    So. I still need a solution. Any other suggestions??

    If I create the report without asking for user-entered params, it works.

    The active browser on the computer is IE7 - 7.0.5730.13
    I am using the installed crystal reports 11 program to run the report.  I open the report in CR by going to File/Open and selecting the report. Then I get prompted for my ms sql login info, which I enter.  Then I see the "Enter Values" window with my data entry fields; but I don't see the nice formatting and buttons which I see when I run this from the other computers; I see only the placeholders.  I select or enter data and click on the "OK" link.  Then the message box pops up.  The message box pops up when I click on any of the links or on the "x" in the upper right.  Mesage box is explicit - Intenet Explorer Script Error, etc., as I described in my original post.
