BO 4 ports openned to access from client tools

Hi,
We have a BO 4 installation in a server, we are trying to connect from a PC with the client tools installed (Webi) and we can not access to the system. We are connection thought VPN. Do you know which ports should we open in order to have access?
Which one for CMS, Input FRS, Output FRS...?
Thanks!

Hi,
you have to open the ports for the SIA, CMS, IFRS and OFRS. SIA and CMS are static assigned. IFRS and OFRS have to be assigned manually via the CMC. Open the Services and assign the Port.
Open these Ports bi- directional in your Firewall(s) and you should be fine.

Ports used by SAP BO Client tools

Hi Team ,
We are planning to put our BO Landscape( BO 4.0 SP7 patch 2 ) to be accessible by SAP to trouble shoot. We needs a list of ports we may need to open the from out network to SAP. Could you please tell which all ports are used by BO Client tools to connect to the BO platform , in case SAP may need to connect via client tools.
Regards ,
Abhinav

Hello,
as per default the following Ports need to be open bi- directional on your Firewall as TCP:
6400
8080
8443 (in case you use HTTPS)
But this is not sufficient enough. You also need to narrow down the IFRS and OFRS and open these ports aswell.
I recommend you check the Chapter 7.15 from the BI 4.0 Admin Guide - there is everything explained. And when you start configuring your Firewall, never forget the local Windows Firewall (when your BI deployment is on Windows).

Cannot Open Topology Services from client

Hi, I'm using LMS 3.2 and I can open the topology services from LMS server itself.
This LMS didn't use a DNS resolution
I can telnet from my laptop to port 42342 and 43242 using the LMS IP Address and Hostname, But unfortunately I still cannot open Topology Services from my laptop.
I already disable AV at my laptop and Ciscowork Server.
Looking forward for your advice.

I would suggest you need to check again for hostname issues;
1) check the hostname of the LMS server with the command "hostname" in a DOS box of the server
2) from the client try to telnet to the ports 42342 and 43242 using the hostname from step 1); like this in a DOS box on the client:
    telnet yourlmsServer 42342
3) check the entry of PX_HOST in the file
    NMSROOT\lib\classpath\md.properties
    (NMSROOT is your installation path; windows default: C:\Program Files\CSCOpx)
if the value of PX_HOST is different form the one in step 1) test if the mentioned ports are available using this name
4) if you cannot establish a connection with one of the names you have to fix this issue by either adding a DNS entry or adding the names to the clients hosts file

This error usually means that the user doesnt have the proper authorizations. So please login to the appset with the ADMIN ID and check the task profile and the member access profile of the user. Assign appropriate authorizations.
Hope this helps.

When I open Add-ons, from the Tools menu, I get an unresponsive script error: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623.

When I try to click on Add-ons, from the Tools menu, I get this error message of an unresponsive script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623. This is to say the least about the unresponsive script errors at other times. However, at all times, it won't go away - even by clicking on the 'stop script' option; even with checking the 'don't ask again' option. I've cleared the cookies and history as best I could, but it appears that there is some sort of conflict. How can I resolve this? Kevin: [email protected] Thank you.

This is typically caused by a problem with the Personas Plus 1.6 add-on and it conflicting with the Google toolbar.
Try disabling the Personas Plus add-on. To do this open the add-ons manager by selecting the Tools menu, then Add-ons. In the list of installed extensions click on Personas Plus, then click on either disable or uninstall.
If you can not access the add-ons manager, follow the instructions in the [[safe mode]] article to start Firefox in safe mode. You should then be able to disable or uninstall Personas Plus. You can find more information on this procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Opening a file from client machine

Hi All ,
I have a requirement .I need to <b>integrate / Open </b> an .exe file in the portal and this exe file will reside on every on every client machine from which portal is accessed . Can you suggest me some methods . I have tried with URL iview , but it is not working .
Thanks
Aneez
<b>P.S Guaranteed points for helpful answers</b>

Hi Aneez,
In the registry the URL(s) that you add are for the source, not target. So you will have something like;
URL1=http://<portal>:<port>
of course this would allow any code run from your portal to open exe files without a warning; so you can add the URLs of individual iViews to your registry if you want a bit more control from a security point of view.
Where you launch the apps;
javascript:launchApp('c:\windows\notepad.exe c:\autoexec.bat')"
I think you can only launch one app at a time, here you pass one string containing the paths to two apps, pass one at a time to the launchApp function.
Also, try adding four '\' characters each time instead of two, one an escape character for the Java compiler and one an escape character for the JavaScript in the browser.
Temporarily add
alert(strCmdLine);
to your launchApp function to see the exact path that the function is trying to launch, make sure that this path contains one and only one '\' character at each point, eg "C:\Windows\notepad.exe". You can also put the
obj.LaunchApplication(.....
line in a try/catch block, put an alert in the catch and see if there's a problem with the JavaScript code trying to launch the app or if the problem is elsewhere.
As far as using XP goes...... I've used LaunchInIE at a few customer sites but I don't think that any were using XP so I can't say that I've seen this working under XP. Perhaps on the WhirlyWiryWeb website you can find some info about whether or not you can expect this to work under XP.
Perhaps, if there's another PC in or near your office that has access to your portal but doesn't have XP installed you can try it from there yourself and see if your code is working on that machine but not yours with XP installed.
I hope this helps,
Patrick.
Edit.
Of course if you're running this from some HTML file on your own harddisk and not from the portal for testing purposes then in your registry the URL that you need to add should be localhost, 127.0.0.1.

Open LMS Session from client host

Dear all,
i have a LMS application installed on a server X, the campus manager version is 3.2.
the application version is pretty old, but it is just working fine.
LMS is opening normally from the server itself.
My problem is that if i try to open Campus Manager/Topology services from a host different than the server itself a java screen opens mentioning trying to connect to ani server, and it just freeze and do not proceed. if i reopen from the server itself it works fine.
the server and the client host are on the same vlan, so no network access limitation exists.
Note: When i open the http request on LMS server from the client side, i authenticate and enter to the app normally but if i try to open the topology services or path analysis it do not proceed.
While checking the logs i found that it is like denying the Client Host name or IP Address.
please find log attached.

Dear Afroj,
Concerning the above mentioned debug steps; i don't find the option in the sequence on my server.
Point 1)      I can find LMSHomeScreen --> ServerConfiguration --> Setup --> ANI ServerAdmin --> DebuggingOptions
Point 2) & 3) I Select "Enable tracing on the selected modules". From the drop down list i check the "Trace enable" check box for the Module "topo".
       On the same page down, i check the "Record trace messages in log file", i enter the name and the path for the log file, C:\ANI_Debug
       And i press apply,
Point 4) & 5) From here i am not able to continue, there is no button to start debug nor under LMSHomeScreen --> ServerConfiguration --> Setup --> ANI Server        Admin --> Debugging Options nor under LMSHomeScreen --> Campus Manager --> Topology Services
There no path Campus Manager --> Admin
Point 6) How to run a new data collection?!
Point 7) if i enable "debugging" of java from control panel and i select to "show" java console, how to view Java Logs?
Thank you for your help

Open Directory access from outside of network / internet

Hello all,
Got a question I'd love to get some help on, I have some users who are outside of my network and I'd like them to connect into the open directory on our leopard server so they can use the Shared iCal calendars, addresses, etc.
So my questions are A) Is it possible to connect in from outside the network and get access to the directory without having to have a seperate user account and use our VPN every time you want to connect? - if not is this the only way to do it (would you have to connect via the Mac VPN and then connect to the directory?)
B) is it possible to do this "seamlessly" so that you don't have to change any settings, login details each time you switch between your local user from outside the network and your directory access. (so basically if you are in iCal if you have internet access it will connect you to the directory, without you doing anything extra?)
Hope that makes sense, I can't seem to find the answers I need in the manuals, if I knew how this was meant to work I could probably have a fair go at figuring out how to actually do it (firewall changes etc)
Thanks in advance for the help
Martin

So my questions are A) Is it possible to connect in from outside the network and get access to the directory without having to have a seperate user account and use our VPN every time you want to connect? - if not is this the only way to do it (would you have to connect via the Mac VPN and then connect to the directory?)
If your OD server is visible from the internet -- i.e., it has a public address -- then you can do this without the VPN. However, it's not advisable to have a server exposed in that fashion.
You would be better off doing this through the VPN:
- Remote user connects to internet at hotel, for example.
- Remote user initiates VPN connection.
- Remote user now has access to iCal server and directory information.
Explain to the users that this information is private to the company, and private company resources are only available through the VPN. Allowing access without the VPN would be similar to the company posting its Employee roster and meeting calendars on the face of the building where any person (or competitor) could see them.
B) is it possible to do this "seamlessly" so that you don't have to change any settings, login details each time you switch between your local user from outside the network and your directory access. (so basically if you are in iCal if you have internet access it will connect you to the directory, without you doing anything extra?)
It's just one extra step: Connect to VPN. You're still the same local user on the computer.
If you're talking about laptop users needing directory access to authenticate when logging into their computers, well...That sounds like a whole other situation.
Hopefully this helps.

Porting open source application to SAP WAS

Hi,
I'm porting jZForum ( http://www.jzforum.org ) to integrate it with SAP WAS and SAP Dictionary instead of internally used
HypersonicSQL database. I mainly changed obtaining connection to the database directly through JDBC:
jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:1476
into connection obtained through JNDI with Spring Framework (more precisely through org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean class) :
jdbc/MY_DATABASE
with connection pooling parameters:
initial connections: 1
maximum connections: 50
maximum time to wait for connection: 120
expiration: yes
connection lifetime: 600
cleanup thread: 300
Unfortunately ported jzForum seems to "hang on". I see in Log Viewer (Visual Administrator) log that it is quering database with a lot of SELECTs,
I assume that it is indexer which on startup is indexing all objects from the forum to speed up searching this objects in the future.
After about 2-3 minutes hanging on, application shows generated page, but every subsequent request to
the server cause hanging on in the same way.
I assume that it might be the case that application is obtaining through JNDI connection to the database, but is
not releasing it. I have examined entire jzForum code, and closed all unnecesary Connection in final Java statements,
but it unfortunately didn't help.
Original jzForum (not ported to SAP Dictionary) works on SAP WAS just perfectly.
Have someone else experience with porting open source application from some database (eg. HSQL) to SAP Dictionary ?
Maybe it is a problem with Spring Framework implementation ? Maybe it is a problem with wrongly configured connection pool ?
I have no idea at the moment. Every help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Marcin Zduniak

Hi Marcin,
from what you are describing, the port to JNDI obtained connections and your "research" in visual admin uncovered some issues with the original code ( not closing open connection ).
My attempt to explain your difficulties:
1. Working with hsqldb in direct mode, where hsqldb connection are obtained by driver.getConnection(), works well, becuse GC "reclaims" unused but not closed
connections. Things seems to work out this way.
2. Getting connections through JNDI involves a datasource with its associated db pool. Not closed connections are then "trapped" in the pool as long as is specified by the "connection lifetime" DS parameter. Things get worse by the time, becuse the application leaks constantly connections.
Remedy for the problems described in 2:
- middle term: fix the application: here spring might be useful, consider using its JDBC support classes!
- short term: set the connection lifetime to a small value to let pool reclaim the unclosed connections
Hope it helps a bit,
Gregor

Edit .app file in excel and then open it in client tool?

Dear Gurus,
I am very new to HFM and would like to know what practice a HFM consultant will use in editing the metadata.
My boss recommend me to edit metadata( .app file) in excel and save it into a format that can be read and opened by client tool.
However, I find no way to achieve this.
How can i edit metadata in excel and then open it in HFM client tool?

Good morning,
I think the best way to do it it's working with macros. You can work with an Excel file and then, convert it to the .txt format by using macros. A .txt is more suitable to be later worked as .app.
However, you can also do it by using Copy/Paste.
1. Open the .app in a Note Pad, so you can work with .txt file.
2. Copy the .txt data in the Excel file.
3. Then, it's just working with Data > Text to Columns to format the file. Then, you can work in Excel.
Then, you will have to put the Excel file in a .txt, so you will have to follow the data files requirements. You still can do this manually, but you will have to pay attention to the format (FILE_FORMAT=11.1.2, !VERSION=11.1.3609, !CUSTOM_ORDER=Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4, !APPLICATION_SETTINGS, !CURRENCIES, etc., as it is the Admin Guide). It will also depend on the HFM version you're working with, specially when working with customs.
I received a good document about a couple of months ago that can be helpful, so if you send me an email address, I'll forward it.

Lu

Is SSDT only a client tool?

Sorry I'm a bit confused about SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT).
What I read on internet is: "SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is a toolset which provides an integrated environment for database developers to carry out all their database design work for any SQL Server platform (both on and off premise) within Visual Studio.
Database developers can use the SQL Server Object Explorer in VS to easily create or edit database objects and data, or execute queries."
But what is not clear to me is: if I haven't installed a SQL Server engine (e.g. SQL Server 2012), how to and where SSDT run/execute DDL/DML queries and store my .mdf file??
What I want ask to you is: Do SSDT is only a client tool or it provide also a server engine for run/execute DDL/DML queries and store my .mdf file??
thanks.

Nope SSDT is a client tool which is used for developing projects. That itself comes in two favours
1. SSDT which can be used for database projects
2. SSDT BI - used for creating BI projects (SSIS/SSRS/SSAS)
See
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2012/04/03/ssdt-what-s-in-a-name.aspx
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2013/04/03/ssdt-naming-confusion-cleared-up-somewhat.aspx
For creating databases you need to have a server instance (database engine) installed and will need to connect to it using client tool
like SQL Management studio and use create database option or CREATE DATABASE T-SQL command which will create mdf,ldf etc files. Once database is setup you can create scripts etc to be run against it from client tools.

Client access from W7 to Server 2008 with SQL Express 2008 R2 not possible anymore (since installing yesterdays patches)

Hi everyone!
We are suddenly having Problems to access our SQL Express Server from our Clients (SBS 2008 with W7 clients).
Till yesterday evening everything was working fine. At night we installed the latest MS patches für our Server 2008 (SBS2008).
Since then we are not able to connect to the SQL Express Server over the Network. Locally (on the Server) it runs fine.
Switching the Windows Firewall off on the Server also lets the clients connect ...
The Windows Firewall still has all the ports open needed for SQL Server, we havn't changed anything.
All the incoming rules that worked for years are still there (untouched).
We just deinstalled all the latest patches, but problem still is here ... not sure if this was just a coincidence ...
Any ideas what could be the Problem?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Thomas

Check firewall rules
enable traffic on TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 (if isn't a named instance) or check sql using ports.
Check Sql Server Browser in Configuration Manager and also net protocols.
let's know about it

Hi Imran,
If you are going to use SCAN for serious client connectivity , then it should be registered with the DNS .
Putting SCAN name in /etc/hosts file will only provide you a workaround during installation.
If you don't have a DNS setup , then use tns entries with VIP names.
If you want to use SCAN for client connections, then
1. configure SCAN in DNS and make sure nslookup scan-name resolves to 3 IPs
2. Use SCAN name rather than IP for HOST in your tnsnames, jdbc URL . Currently you've set IP in your tnsnames , (HOST = 10.168.20.29 )
3. Now, set REMOTE_LISTENER = scan-name:port on all nodes so that SCAN listener can handover the client connections to the least loaded local listeners.

The Report Server page comes up on local server, but the page does not open from clients

Hello,
The Report Server Page opens up just fine on the local server, but page does not open up from desktops and client PCs. SSRS is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server and with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
Clients are using IE 11 and they see:
Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to tumdv-fsql01
How can make this site accessible from clients?
Thanks
Paul

That did not work.
What port numbers specifically does SSRS use? I will check the firewall.
http://100.100.100.100/CengeaReports/Pages/Folder.aspx
When I add the IP Address and try the link again, IE says "This page can not be displayed". When I try the Fix connection problems, IE says:
"The website is online, but it is not responding to connection attempts."
