Biar Command Line - Only move reports?

Hi,
I need to copy only reports between environments on a schedule. By my reading of the Administrator manual, it appears it will not work.
Importing relationships
The BIAR Command Line Tool only keeps the relationships between imported objects intact if both objects are imported together, or if one of the objects already exists on the destination. For example, if you have a Web Intelligence Report that uses a Universe, and you import the Report without also importing the Universe, the relationship between the two is dropped. The Report will not run on the destination.
Is this true? The import wizard doesn't seem to have this limitation.
Are there other options to do this aside from LCM?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
Basically you want to sync reports between two environments on a periodic basis. Federation would be a good choice over here.
You can refer to the Admin guide for various options.
Hope it helps.

Error while exporting webi reports using BIAR command line tool.

HI,
We are trying to export webi objects to a biar file using the biar command line tool, biarengine.jar in XI 3.0. We are using the query select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind='webi'.
We are getting an error "unable to create plugin object".
Export of all other objects is going through fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ashok

Try this
importBiarLocation=C:/test.biar
action=importXML
userName=UserName
password=Password
CMS=cmsname:6400
authentication=secEnterprise
exportQuery=select * from ci_appobjects where si_kind='universe'

Biar Export using Biar Command line tool

Hi All,
I am trying to export biar file using the biar command line tool for that i have written a .properties file and running that using the batch file , Here are the contents -
Biarexport.properties -
exportBiarLocation=C:/work/biartest/level.biar
action=exportXML
userName=E372019
password=welcome9
CMS=tss0s108:6800
authentication=secEnterprise
includeSecurity=true
exportDependencies=true
exportQuery= Select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind in ('CrystalReport','Folder') and si_name='Air Travel Activity' and SI_INSTANCE = 0
and running the above .properties file using below command u2013
cd C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib
java -jar biarengine.jar C:\work\biartest\biarexport.properties
I get the biar file created on the given folder but if I compare itu2019s size(261KB) with the biar which I create manually from the Import Wizard(35 KB) , then comparatively it is bigger. It seems biar has every instance.
This increases the file size unnecessary since we do not need the instances in the BIAR, just the report and the dependent repository objects.
Need your assistance on this issue!
Thanks for your help!

I would suggest creating a case with support to go over this, you should have a support agreement since you have the Enterprise product.

Logs for BIAR command line tool XI3.0

Hi,
Will there be any log files generated by the BIAR command line tool, when we try to export to a BIAR file?
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar M

Information regarding the import can be found in the following locations:
- Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 11.5\Logging
- Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 11.5\win32_x86
- Windows Event Viewer " If an error was encountered during import, the information will often be found here.
To generate more logs during the import:
Create a shortcut of the Import Wizard executable. The executable is found in <installation directory>:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86.
Right-click the new shortcut. Click Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab. Add "trace at the end of the Target command line as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32-x86\ImportWiz.exe" -trace
Click OK.
When starting the import process, use this new shortcut instead of the previous one to start a trace. The resulting logs will reside in <installation directory>: \Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 11.5\Logging.

Using Command Line to move objects from one environment to another enviroment

Can the Command Line (sacmd) be used to move Job Groups/Jobs and other object from one environment to another environment? If so, how?

Moving jobs and objects can only be accomplished by using the Transporter application. There is a document called "Transporter User Guide" with a chapter called "Running Transporter in Batch Mode" that details how to send commands to transporter from the command line. It also details how to setup jobs in Tidal to use this command line. Once you have jobs in Tidal using the Transporter command line, you can then use sacmd to run these jobs.
Does this make sense?

Command line editing -- move quickly

Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
I'm running bash.
I have a long command line:
/Users/mac/Sites/bithoist/BitHoist-PPC-MacOS-X   -offset 0x0000 /Users/mac/Sites/bithoist/commandLine/bins/aSunbird.bin   -stdout -hex   -r 0x0000,0x002f
I'd like to move quickly to the last 0 in -offset 0x0000.
I know about control + a and I found out about esc + f. I do not find pressing esc then f then esc then f that easy. I'd like to at least be able to hold down the esc key and press f's.
Can I configure something?
Could I redefine a word to only be " " (space) in the terminal? Not sure I like this idea.
Would be nice to user the mouse.
Robert

You could switch to vi style command line editing.
shopt -s -o vi # can be put in your .bash_profile (or .bash_login (or .profile))
but then you need to hit <ESC> to get into vi command mode, but once in command vi command mode, you can use 'e' to quickly move to the end of the next work. Hitting the key repeatedly will quickly get you to the end of 0x0000
But now you need to hit 'i' to get back into insert mode.
I do realize that vi mode is not without its annoyances.
You can also remap the emacs key bindings using the bash 'bind' command.
bind '"\C-f"':forward-word # which would find control-f to forward-word
which might be easier than escape-f

BIAR Command line tool Properties

hi,
what does
action = exportXML and action = importXML means.
where we should use
exportBiarLocation and importBiarLocation
plz explain.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
biarengine.jar supports 2 functionalities:
1) Importing a BIAR file using command-line
2) Exporting a BIAR file using command-line
To import a BIAR file, you would specify:
action=importXML
importBiarLocation=C:/path/to/biarfile.biar
To export a BIAR file, you would specify:
action=importXML
importBiarLocation=C:/path/to/biarfile.biar

Larch-7.2: command line only (so far)

Because of various problems with version 7.1 on the command line and on other linux distributions, I've structured version 7.2 differently. It is based on command-line scripts (rather like version 5 was). I guess there will be a gui some time, but that might take a while ... . Meanwhile, if you prefer, or have to use command-line scripts please use this version, and don't mix the two - there haven't been many changes to the structure of the profiles, but enough to cause trouble. Most of the relevant documentation has been updated. Go to the website for download info, etc.

Thanks for a very complete and thorough description wiiphone!
Question about your wireless channel: Are there any other competing wireless networks in your area that led you to choose channel 10?
If you don't mind doing some experimenting, does changing the channel from 10 to some other (fixed) channel, have any effect? The reason for asking is that I have reason to believe "automatic" might not be desirable, but there ought not to be anything magical about channel 10.
Please post if you experience any more dropouts. I'm glad it's working for you; I'm just doubtful this will prove to be a permanent fix.

Reports on the command line

1)Is it possible to run a report that has a parameter form on the command line? I am using rwcli and passing parameters on the command line but it is comming up with the following errors:
REP-0177: Error while running in remote server
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'TestI.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'TestI.rdf'
2) I want to run a dummy report that calls the actual report. Is it possible to do this on the command line? The dummy report has a dummy query. Should the destype be set to file or screen for this dummy report?
Thanks

Hi Srikanth
You can specify the parameters from the command line while running Reports.
Say, if you have a parameter called P_1. While running reports you may specify:
rwrun report=blah.jsp userid=foo/bar@db P_1=Friday ...
You may specify the destype of the dummy report to file. Perhaps you may want to create this file into a temp folder so that it can be cleaned up regularly.

Sripathy

How can hide the command line of a t.code in the portal

Dear Experts.
I have the following doubt:
How can hide the Command Line of a Report that is called with a T.Code in the portal?
Attach Image:
[Image T.Code|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/eab3b6a03c.jpg]
When I created a service using the T.Code SICF for the T.Code , I can hide buttons and the filed command line using
~webgui_simple_toolbar
~singletransaction
~NOHEADEROKCODE
With notes 1010519, "SAP GUI for HTML: Simplified Title Area Without Menu and OK Code" and 959417.
But the problem is that when I create the service in the T.Code SICF, I also have that create an Iview IAC in the portal.
The Question is : How can hide this fields and buttons if I want Publish the T.code using an Iview Transaction in the portal?
In this moment I have used the two options:
1 option) I created a service using the t.Code SICF for my Transaction and I also created an Iview IAC in the portal for call the service.
RESULT:
SAP Web Application Server
         500 Connection timed out
        Error: -5
       Version: 7000
       Component: ICM
       Date/Time: Sat Jun 12 20:26:39 2010
       Module: icxxthr_mt.c
       Line: 2698
       Server: xyxab...
Error Tag: {-}
Detail: Connection to partner timed out after 60s
2) created an Iview Transaction in the portal and call my transaction.
RESULT.
[Image T.Code|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/eab3b6a03c.jpg]
But not can hide the field Command Line and other buttons.
I think that the command :
~webgui_simple_toolbar
~singletransaction
~NOHEADEROKCODE
Only can be used if I create a service using the T.Code SICF .
Best Regards
Carmen.

Hi Carmen,
The bottom line is that this cannot be done for transaction iviews without modifying the standard webgui service in SICF, which is probably not a good idea (since it affects everyone using SAP GUI for HTML). (You could hack the appintegrator to add the ~webgui_simple_toolbar parameter to the transaction URL template in the portal, but again its not a recommended thing to do ...). Better to create an IAC service in SICF with ~webgui=1 where you set the required appearance using an appropriate value for ~webgui_simple_toolbar, and then create an IAC iview to point at this service.
You can even override the ~transaction value configured in the new service in individual IAC iviews by entering the appropriate value in the application parameter of the iview, for example:
~okcode=/nSU01
And you can pass parameters in the same way:
~okcode=/nSU01 USR02-BNAME=xyz;USREFUS-USERALIAS=abc;
By the way, it would not be recommended to create a URL iview to access an IAC, since you are likely to encounter session management issues in this scenario - better to use an IAC iview.

Command line - two devices with the same name

I have two identical logitech usb webcams on the same system,
and I'm trying to use the command line to encode from each. The
problem is that the xml profile requires the device name, but both
devices are listed using the exact same name, so the command line
only ever chooses one of the cameras as the source. Using the GUI,
I can select one or the other because they both appear in the drop
down list.
Is there a way to specify the device index ala ActionScript,
or another way to specify the device? I tried renaming the camera
in the WinXP control panel, but that change was not seen by FME.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem - I tried attaching my Canopus
ADVC 1000 adapters to different Firewire chains (motherboard and
PCI-based) but that didn't help.

Command-line installation issue : InstallMediaPath parameter?

Hello,
I have an unsuccessful command-line installation of SQL Express 2008 R2. I need to do it to install a new local instance so that a Winforms application could use it (I'm packaging the app thus installing pre-requisites through my installer).
I hit "InstallMediaPath" blank parameter issue, if I look into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Detail.txt".
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
2014-09-08 09:40:17 Slp: Parameter name: InstallMediaPath
I read on the forums that this error can solve by uncompressing before running setup, so here are my two commands. I still have the issue.
"Resources\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe" /Q /X:"%TEMP%\SESetup"
"%TEMP%\SESetup\Setup.exe" /ACTION=Install /QS /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms=True /Features=SQL,Tools /InstanceName=MSSQLSAFETIFY /SQLSVCACCOUNT=\"NT AUTHORITY\\NETWORK SERVICE" /AddCurrentUserAsSQLAdmin /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="somePassword"
Earlier in log file I see a correct value for InstallMediaPath so am clueless.

Thank you so much for helping. Do I have some incorrect parameters?

I finally found a solution, using a Configuration.ini file. Blog entry dealing with MS SQL unattended setup
I suceeded with a configuration file, adding though two parameters to file, IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="True" and SAPWD="passwordOfMyChoice".
With command line only, I had "path2" parameter null value error, once I added /InstallMediaPath undocumented (?) option to my initial command line switches...

Rwclient.sh command line

Hello,I've searched a lot of forums to know how can the username and passwords are hided when we invoke reports through rwclient.sh.I am getting a perfect output if I issue a rwclient.sh but I am hardcoding userid parameter while issuing the command.
I would like to hide it.Have gone through cgicmd.dat but all the examples I got is with respect to URL based reports requests.
Can anybody have a fair idea to hide the username and password and to handle the rwclient.
Am using oracle 10g
Mani

Hi Many,
Use CMDFILE to call a file that contains reports command line arguments. The file called must be an ASCII file, either .txt or any other ASCII-type file. CMDFILE differs from the cgicmd.dat file, in that CMDFILE can contain one command line for one report, where the cgicmd.dat file can contain multiple key-identified commands for multiple reports. The CMDFILE keyword enables you to run a report without specifying a large number of arguments each time you invoke a run.
Follow the steps given below:
1.Create a text file "pwd.txt" containing one line: userid=username/password@database, e.g.:
userid=scott/tiger@v901
2. Run rwclient.sh using this file pwd.txt:
rwclient.sh report=test.rdf cmdfile=pwd.txt destype=file desformat=pdf desname=out.pdf server=test
This would not display login information in ps -ef output.
Hope this helps, RZ

Issues With Printer Using drv:///sample.drv/generic.ppd from Command Line

Hi All,
I was using generic postscript driver earlier with Mountain Lion. I Created a print queue using "lpadmin -p MYPrintQueue -m drv:///sample.drv/generic.ppd -v socket://<IP>:9100 -E"
This created a print queue with Generic Postscript Driver.
Now when i am trying same command with Mavericks, It's Creating a Local Raw Printer. Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong.
I need command line resolution only.
I know i can create print queue from cups web interface. There its working fine.
But i need to use command line only.
Thanks.

Hi,
Would you please try following commands?
Please don't add quotes on the inf file path: change the driver folder name NC Print Drivers as NCPrintDrivers.
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /if /f C:\Temp\NCPrintDrivers\dellopd_A06\dellopd.inf /r "192.168.10.157"
Make sure to run the command as admin.
Let me know if it can work fine.
