BI 4.0 FP 3 Dashboard Builder Connection direct to BEX

Hi all:
Currently my client does not have enterprise portal. in the past we could not do direct connection to BEX report and deploy it on BI launchpad. Reading some article in SDN /people/tammy.powlas3/blog/2011/11/25/sap-dashboard-bi-40-feature-pack-3-planned-features-asug-webcast-summary it mention it is possible in FP 3. I want to know whether we can use BI 4.0 EP 2 for enterprise and just upgrade Dashbuilder client tools. Is there anything additional we have to do to make it work.
we have
BI 7.2
BOBJ 4.0 EP 2
no enterprise portal
Also
we also upgraded the client tool to FP 3.0 when i click on the bex connection and bex, it is only showing up the server name and nothing else
Thanks
Maria

In CMC I never see the infoproviders, just a constant request for username and password.
The only time I see a list of infoproviders is in Information designer tool. There I can define a connection and if I say I want to select a specific query I get only two catalogs (Favorites and InfoArea) neither catalog shows infoproviders. If I say I will not use a specific query, then I can save the connection.
In the Information Designer you can then use a tab called Show Values, which will create the same two catalogs (Favorites and InfoArea), which will have no infoproviders. It will also create a third catalog with no description or name, and in this catalog there are infoproviders visible.
It is not possible for me to see this third unnamed catalog anywhere else. Interactive Analysis will not display this catalog, so it is not possible to use the infoproviders.
Not sure but I hope this makes it clearer.

Dashboard Builder integration with BO universe

Hello,
I want to find out if we can drill down from one dashboard to another dashboard and then another dashboard in Xcelsius Enterprise.
I know that we can drill down from one level to another, however there are no examples in it.
Alternatively, you can drill drown in Dashboard Builder also, and I heard that dashboard Builder also connects to the universe data. Is it easy to you dashboard Builder instead.
Thanks
Abhijit

Try the following and see what happens:
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*"
%><%
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
String serializedSession;
/* * Set Enterprise Logon credentials. */
final String BO_CMS_NAME = "MyCMSName";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";
final String BO_USERNAME = "MyuserName";
final String BO_PASSWORD = "MyPassword";
Set Java InfoView start page URL
final String INFOVIEW_URL = "http://<hostname>:<port>/InfoViewApp/logon/start.do";
Log onto Enterprise and serialize the Enterprise Session.
enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(BO_USERNAME,BO_PASSWORD, BO_CMS_NAME, BO_AUTH_TYPE);
serializedSession = enterpriseSession.getSerializedSession();
Redirect to InfoView, passing the serialized Enterprise Session.
response.sendRedirect(INFOVIEW_URL + "?ivsLogonSession=" + java.net.URLEncoder.encode(serializedSession));
%>

Dashboard Builder - Anyone using this in Live environment

Hi,
We have requirements wherin we want to integrate Xcelsius and Detailed Webi reports and develop a kind of reporting suite where the Xcelsius will drive the reporting outputs in Webi.
we have completed a prototype and know this works with the use of 'Dashboard builder'.
Wanted to now check if anyone has used 'dashboard Builder' in a lIve environment and how stable it is.
Can we publish reports developed in Dashboard Builder to folders and control who has access to which report ?
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi some customers are using Dashboard in PRD environment and it works fine is ver stable.
Respect to the authorizations, you must asume that a dashboard is a resume of webi, xcelsius and analytics reports and you need authorizations for any element individually and then also authorization to the dashboard if you need you can restrict the access as any other file in the BO.
Regards

Dashboard Builder Not Available

Hi guys
I´ve installed BO XI 3.1 SP 2 FP 2.8 without problems it work fine i´ve create universes and webi documents but when i wanted to create an analytic in dashboard builder i notice that the dashboard builder is not available i have the option in the toola bar but is grayed.
I enter CMC and in applications i didnt found anything about Analytics.
In servers i didntfound any server about analytics or performance or any AA server.
Somebody told me that is needed a licence about Performance MAnager or Analytics, i found temporary licences of both and i installed but nothing happened.
How can i make dashboard builder works, is necesary to install anything or is just only needed a configuration?
I hope somebody could help me with this.
Regards

Hi Oscar,
There are higher chances that you've not chosen to install Dashboard Builder at the time of installing BO Enterprise XI3.1 and hence you are not able to see the Dashboard Builder services. BOXI3.1 comes with Dashboard Builder embedded and hence there is no additional installer for it.
It is recommended that if you wish to use Dashboard Builder, you must have a Premium Keycode (License) for BusinessObjects Enterprise. "Performance Management Dashboards" are an Extention of Dashboard Builder and needs Extra License and Database however, we just need to configure it, there is nothing to install additionally for Performance Management Dashboards.
Would request you to please go through the relevent litrature to have more insight on Dashboard Builder and Performance Management Dashboards so that you can choose accordingly.
Regarding your scenario, you can go to BOServer (machine where you've installed BO) >> Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs >> and can "Modify" the BOE Setup. From there, you can select the Performance Management services install them additionally. Just make sure you have the BOE Installation files handy.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

PWVERSION sql error in dashboard builder

Hi all
We are currently attempting to deliver SAP Strategy Management through the dashboard builder as part of an integrated solution of SSM, Xcelcius and Webi. When we try to run SSM within a tab page on Dashboard Builder we get the following error;
Error: SqlStatement
Error: SqlStatement: SELECT * from PWVERSION
Error Code: no such table: PWVERSION
The SSM does not then start up.
This is a pioneering attempt to integrate the two tools in a portal style solution so any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Gareth

Thats right...
Err..Ohk. Don't tell me that you are using Hierarchical columns and other attributes in same prompt (i.e. Single GO Button)
Like you have columns like Region-Country-State-City and say Category in same prompt where Region-Country-State-City is hierarchy in OBIEE RPD.
You will have to create 2 seperate prompts here to get it work.
Prompt 1: Region-Country-State-City (Constraint on each level)
Prompt 2: Category and other attributes
This will have 2 prompts so 2 GO button. No way you can achieve this in Single GO even if you change the XMLs and all.
This is OBIEE logic working behind pulling the common fact and also fetching hierarchical data based on level above i.e. constraints here...
Hope this clears your doubt. Or may be give the exact structure of your prompts.

Dashboard builder with SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1

Hi,
is it possible to install / activate the Dashboard builder with the trial version of the <a href="http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx">SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1</a>?
I have read a couple of OSS-notes about the Dashboard-builder, but they all describe this feature for BObj Enterprise.
Any help on this?

I have a greyed out button "Dashboards" on the top bar in my InfoView.
There is no server for Dashboards visible in my CCM.
What I do have is a PerformanceManagement.war in my BObj-installation (which I deployed into my TomCat).
Any help on activating the Dashboard-builder with the Edge-BI-trial?

Is Dashboard Builder located in Portal or its part of SAP BI or elsewhere

Hello
Is Dashboard Builder BI located in Portal or its a part of SAP BI or something else?
I need to know where its actually based.
Thanks

You will have to be on SAP BW 7.01 (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP1) and SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.x in order to integrate and requires the SAP Integration Kit for SAP Business Objects Enterprise.
Dashboard Builder, while still part of the BOE suite, is somewhat being replaced by Xcelsius which is again a different tool and different licensing.

Encyclopedia and Dashboard Builder

Hi Experts
I have a customer that wants to use the Encyclopedia together with the Dashboard at analytics level. I have played around with the different options but there doesnu2019t seem to be solution. As I see it the Encyclopedia is only shown at tab/ dashboard level and cant be linked at lower level. I hope that I have missed something ?
Kind regards
Anders Toft

Encyclopedia and Dashboard Builder
you can use the Encyclopedia to show the information when you click on some tab while you are navigating through the dasboard itself.
for everytab or sub-tab you can have different information
but dont think that you can use it for analytics level
good luck

Dashboard builder vs single dashboard

Hi all, can someone please tell me whats the difference between Dashboard builder, single dash board.
I have access to single dashboard. What features does it provide other than accomodating multiple reports.
Regards

Dashboard Builder is some module comes with the EPM , Enterprise Performance Manager, which allows you to create corporate dashboards, add analytics web pages,,, etc
which is also different in its navigation and developing more than the single dashboards,
the single dashboards its just like you create one page using the infoview, and you put some shortcut for you reports on it.
good luck
