BOBJ 4.0 Client Tools Configuration Help

i have 32 and 64 bit System DSN setup on the server using the 2005 drivers. 4.0 was installed with 2008 Express. i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it? dumb question, should it be set to the db or cms db?
i don't remember configuration being this confusing.
here's what it shows in CMC settings:

sia properties:

setting up new connection, i'm trying to use the credentials for the boe140 db. someone tried connecting to the SQL 2005 db and that makes a connection but i get errors.

created a new connection using IDT and the test worked:

imported and used the new connection for the universe i need. the test worked:

error in crystal reports:

webi error:

You would need to have 64-bit DSN to install BO. during the installation the DSNs are created automatically. This is what you showed us in the images.
Many client tools use both 32-bit / 64-bit drivers. This helps them to talk to CMS Db in right way. You were using a CMS Db connection to create Universes , crystal reports and webi reports. Please note these client tools retrieve data from Db's other than the CMS Db usually. It is not recommended and suggested to have data made out of CMS Db. You should use the audit Database to know about the activities happening within the server.
good luck!!

BPC Client tool configuration for multiple appset selection

Hi Expert,
is there any way to configure BPC client to select multiple applications simulteniously instead of closing one application to select another application, nothing but multiple BPC sessions at a time like SAP GUI sessions.
thanks
Venkata

Hi,
I guess you are talking about BPC excel. You cant have different sessions in BPC. If you open a report1 from application1 and then if you want to open report2 from application2, you need to change the CV. Once the report2 has been opened in application2, the CV of report1 will still show application1. However, if you want to refresh report1, it will access application2. The CV of the last opened report holds valid for all the previously opened reports.
Having said this, we do have a workaround for the above problem. When you open report1 from application1, go to workbook options and click on "save the active session CV with this workbook". Then you can change your CV to application2 to open report2. And again do the same thing for report2 as well. With this, both the reports will work in their own region. However, you wont be able to change the CV. Even if you do change the CV, the report will not be refreshed based on the new CV. It will still work for the saved CV.
Hope this helps.

I am unable to identify the 'Dashboard' in SAP BOBJ Client tool 4.1.
Please find the attached screen shot of all the items present in the complete Suite of BOBJ client 4.1
If the 'Dashboard' tool in SAP BOBJ 4.0 is 'Xcelsius dashboard'., then what is the Dashboard tool in SAP BOBJ Client 4.1.
Below are the tools which got installed after installing SAP BOBJ Client 4.1, out of those please help me identify 'Dashboard Tool"
--regards
ranendra

Hi Ranendra,
Dashboard Designer 4.1 will not be installed automatically with BO Client Tools 4.1. You need to install separately.You can download the Dashboard Designer 4.1 in SAP Market Place(http://service.sap.com).It will ask you license key,you can get temporary license keys for BusinessObjects tools in SAP Market place itself if didn't raise a request for permanent license keys.

WDS - Client Configuration Help

Hi All,
I have many ap1252ap's, I have configured WDS on the one ap and it authenticate to itself OK - to the locally configured radius server.
state = wlccp_ap_st_registered
The problem is that I do not know where to go from here.
I have followed the docs (Fast Roaming, WDS) but I cannot get very far, in fact I do not think that my clients are even attempting to authenticate with my AP. I have modified the following taken from the sraom doc,
AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# dot11 ssid fastroam
AP(config-ssid)# authentication network-eap eap_methods
SSID CONFIG WARNING: [fastroam]: If radio clients are using EAP-FAST, AUTH OPEN with EAP should also be configured.
AP(config-ssid)# authentication key-management cckm
AP(config-ssid)# exit
AP(config)# interface dot11radio0
AP(config-if)# encryption mode ciphers ckip-cmic
AP(config-if)# ssid fastroam
AP(config-if)# exit
AP(config)# end
But something is still not right or missing. I have added users (or at least I think I have from an authentication point of view) with the username and password as the MAC of the clients to the local radius server, using command
ap(config-radsrv)#user xxx password xxx
But i do not understand how this links in with the client, basically how do I configure a client to attach using cckm, where do i put in a username and password for the network profile, if i pick leap, then I am prompted for the username/password, but what username/password is this, is it the username/password entered with
ap(config-radsrv)#user xxx password xxx
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Thankyou for reading my Post, I have managed to work out how to configure my WDS with usernames and passwords, if anybody else is interested, this is what I did.
dot11 ssid fastroam
authentication open eap method_clients
authentication network-eap method_clients
authentication key-management wpa
(method_client is basically a list pointing with IP of server providing WDS/Radius)
Interface dot11radio 0
ssid fastroam
encryption mode ciphers tkip
no shut
To configure user/passowords
conf t
radius local-server
user testing password testing123
then on client
athentication:
configure LEAP
user: testing
password: testing123
encryption:
tkip
the client should now authenticate to AP/WDS.
The only thing I have not worked out yet is how to configure a backup WDS. nor do I quite understand which of the authentication methods the client is using when it succesfully connects.
Please can you advise: When you have a username/password on the radius server, does it mean that any/or all clients can use the same username/password.
or will the radius server detect that the login is already is use and prevent another attempt. reason behind my question is that if the username/password gets into the wrong hands.
Thanks and Regards

Running reports created with Reports 9i in client-server configuration

I need to have users run reports created with Oracle Reports 9i on workstations without any Oracle products installed on it, (in a client-server configuration as opposed to Web based) . I am looking for a step-by-step approach to accomplish this. I looked through the installation documents in OTN and I did not see one that addressed this.
BTW, I saw an earlier post in this form which disscussed this,indirectly, for Reports 6i but I don't think these steps will work for 9i rpeorts
** Earlier post
Question:
I have an application in Oracle 8i, Forms 6i, Reports 6i. Now I want to make executable CD which will be installable in nature. I don't know how to make it or what tools to be used for this . Kindly help me out.
Answer:
You can write a .bat file for installation.....
This file should do following things.
1. Oracle8 Personal Setup
Install only Database (no tools)
2. Oracle Developer200 Setup
Install only Forms Runtime
Reports Runtime
Graphics Runtime
3. Use imp/exp to put the desired database...
4. Copy exexutables in some directory and place shortcuts in programs and destkop
5. Make new file-types in start->setting ->folder options-> file-types
and specify that in which runtime-application you want to open your executables....
Thanks in advance,
Audrey Watson

hi audrey,
there is no client/server runtime available for reports9i. what
you can do is to use the rwclient executable shipped with IDS
to submit jobs to the reports server.
there are plans to provide a stand alone thin client in the
future but this is not available yet.

christian

OBI SE 1 Administration Tool as a client tool to another OBI SE1 instance

Our client has installed the OBI SE 1 on a "server" machine with no hassles. They then installed OBI SE 1 again on a different "client machine", in order to use, only the Administration Tool as a client tool to the other OBI SE 1 Server instance.
They changed the Oracle BI ODBC connectivity to point to the other machine but when they try to use the Administration Tool they get the following message:
[nQSError: 37001]Could not connect to the Oracle BI Server instance.
They then tested the ODBC Client tool to test connectivity and they can access the OBI Server instance in question.
I know that with the SE 1 installation there are no separate installs for client and server components, so my question is: can they do this or in the SE 1 the Administration tool must reside on the same machine as the Oracle BI Server??
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sergio

Did they use the "Oracle BI Server" ODBC type?
Are they able to successfully ping the remote machine?
There is also a possiblity that they did not fully configure the connection to the Remote Repository. There are 3 steps to the wizard.
The Admin tool is the same admin tool that comes with BI EE (but at a lower release level than the current BI EE, so do not try to just install that client, it will adjust the Repositoy upward and then it will be incompatible with BI SE One). I have connected to many remote repositories without any problem.
Can you post the full log from C:\OracleBI\server\Log\NQSAdminTool.log
Thanks

BO XI3.1 Client tools connection with SAP BW

Hello everyone,
I have the following challenge:
I have an installation with Businessobjects XI 3.1 which connects to SAP netweaver BW.
When I use the client tools wich are installed on the server also, I can make a connection to Sap BW in the designer tool, and create a web intelligence rapport on this connection. When I get the rapport in Infoview, I can refresh the data, en this is showed.
When I Use the Client tool from a workstation, and test the connection, or refresh the data, is get the error message :
A database error occurred. The Database error text is: A runtime exception has occurred. (License key Check Failed. Check that you are licensed to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901)
In Bussinesobjects I configured each server to a dedicated port, and made sure that every server can be reached for the workstation.
Somebody any suggestions for this issue? When I search on the error n=message, is get a few hintu2019s but they are not the problem, because it is running fine from the server.
I appreciate every suggestion.
With Kind regards,
Ronald van Amelsvoort.

Hello Dennis,
You're right, I did not have the SAP intergration kit installed, at the workstation. After installing it works.
I did not know, or did found this in the installation manuals.
Thanks for your help.

Https call from SAP SOAP client tool

Hi,
in order to call a webservice via https using the SAP SOAP client tool, I've done the following:
1. The Client cert field filled with my personal certificate from IE (pcert.pfx)
2. The Trust store field left as it was (cacerts file of the jre).
When calling the service I am getting
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
Very likely this is caused by setting 2.
Could anybody advise how to get an X.509 certificate of trusted root CAs? Any chance to export from IE or would one have to get that from a CA? File types required are ppfx or p12, which is strange since these contain private keys.
Much appreciated.
Rene Funke

Hi Rene,
You need to include the full certificate chain in the p12 file. i.e. private cert and root CA cert. IE will not export the full certificate path with the private certificate unless it was imported into IE with this flag set. You could use Firefox to generate the pks12 file. It will include the full certificate path.
This private certificate (p12 file) should then be added to the truststore in XI.
Also, .p12 (pkcs#12) file format defines a file format commonly used to store private keys with accompanying public key certificates - not just private keys.
Hope this helps.

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.
Regards,
Lu

BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP4) Error

BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP3) are installed OK on a Workstation...
Business View Manager = 12.3.0.601
Designer = 12.3.0.601
WebIntelligence Rich Client = 12.3.0.601
I have downloaded the "SBOP Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 ServicePack 4" files from the SAP Support site (ENTERPRISECLNT04_0-10007619.exe).
When I run the EXE - it unzips the files for about 10 minutes and then starts the install - but quickly throws the error below...
"The update installation cannot proceed because either the target product is missing or is not the correct version for this update. Verify that the product to be updated exists on your system and you have the correct patch."
Anyone seen this error before - and know the fix...?
Thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions.

Hi Mark,
This error may show up if have installed the client originally from the Server build, or the other way around. You may check the registry, if it has key codes for the enterprise it means the client was installed by the server build.
I have installed BOXI 3.1 sp4 clients on several machines no issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Muhammad
