BODS Management Console link in WEBI Report

Hi All,
Need help, can we create a link for BODS Management Console in WEBI report ? Is it possible? I created one but it is not working for me. Ideally, when we click on the link, it should take the user to the login page of Management Console but that is not happening.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Purnima

It worked Sathish. Some server issue earlier I guess. Thanks Much .
Have a few questions :
1. Is it possible to create a link, in WEBI, to a document (.txt file) which is stored on BODS server?
2. Does BODS store error and warning description in BODS system tables? I know that it stores error log file path but I am not sure if it stores error description anywhere.
3. AL_SCHED_INFO table contains Job Scheduling information. But does this table contain the next scheduled time anywhere in this table?
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Purnima

How to link a webi report from crystal report

Hello everyone,
I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

Linking a WEBI report through hyperlink in a webpage using open document

Hi All,
I have a hyper link in a web page which when clicked should open a WEBI report. I created it using the open document feature.
Once clicking on the link, InfoView login credential page is displayed. After logging in the report runs.
My client does not want the login page to be displayed since most of the users does not remember their password (since SSO is implemented).
He wants to bypass this login page so that most of the users can directly view the reports.
Question:
Is there a way to achieve this i.e without asking for login credentials or by passing this?
Possibilities :
1: To create ID's for all the people (which I think is not a feasible option in my project)
2: Create a guest account with minimum privileges and share the password with all the users.
Note:
1: I use BO XI R 3.1.
2: No SDK is installed to do any programming.
Any suggestion are most welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shreyas,
Manual Easy Way for doing the activity in SAP Business Objects 4.0:
This method is useful if we have a special system account that we want everyone to use.
You will notice that all we do is generate a logon token using the appropriate username, password and CMS variables. Then we append the token onto ivsLogonToken.
Note: The numbers on the url after /BOE/portal represents the timestamp of the last patch or install. You can put whatever you want under the number section and Business Objects will automatically redirect to the appropriate start.do
Step I:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
Step II:
You can copy the contents from the custom.jsp that I’ve provided below to your custom.jsp.
Cutom.JSP File
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*" %>

Edit the username,Password & BOBJ Server Name'in BOLD Letter
Step III:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Step IV:
Trusted Authentication:
Trusted Authentication is a component of Enterprise authentication that integrates with third-party single sign-on solutions, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Applications
that have established trust with the Central Management Server can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.
This method is really cool because users don’t even have to know their passwords. Basically with this method you can log into another system and if that system has the appropriate user name, you can pass it to the custom.jsp and then it will log you into BI Launchpad.
In addition, you don’t need to create any java code for the enterprise token setup.
Step V:
In the CMC, go to Authentication, then select Enterprise. Check Trusted Authentication is enabled, then click on New Shared Secret. Finally download the shared secret key and keep it somewhere secure
Step VI:
Copy global.properties from <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default into <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom. Then using Notepad or another text editing utility, edit the following properties
sso.enabled=true
trusted.auth.user.retrieval=WEB_SESSION
trusted.auth.user.param=UserName
trusted.auth.shared.secret=<secret code from properties file you created in step 2>
Step VII:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
<\!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

Edit the username(Daya) variable
Step VIII:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.

Linking 2 WebI reports and passing values

Hi All,
I have an issue here.As I have 2 reports in WebI created and report1 will be a summary report and i have a object in report1 which is like a hyperlink like for eg 2001,2002,2003 and when i click on 2001 it should open up the report2 and give the Quarter,Q2,Q3,Q4.
Regards
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
U will have to use the concept of OpenDocument API.
Following are the steps for your question/difficulty.
1. Open a report in webi having an object year.
2.Open another report and have the objects year and quarter.
Type the below link in the Formula toolbar. The syntax is as follows.
="<a href=http://Server Name/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=Name Of The Second Reprt Try save this without space&s&lsSEnterYear:="[Year]">"[Year]+"</a>"
and in the properties window in the Read Cell Content As choose hyperlink.
You will get exactly what your ver looking for.
Hopefully this solves your problem.
Regards,
Bernard.

[Forum FAQ] Configuration Manager Console shows nothing if you change SSRS to using SSL after Reporting Service Point is installed

If the SSRS is changed to SSL mode and http binding is removed after Reporting Service Point is installed. The Configuration Manager Console shows nothing in Reporting Pane. After digging into this problem, the cause is that the SSRS information has not
been updated in Configuration Manager Database. The following steps are taken for finding the root cause.
1. After changing to SSL, the Reporting Service Point log shows the error as shown in Figure 1.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
(!) SRS not detected as running
Failures reported during periodic health check by the SRS Server DB2.SCJIZHO.COM.
Figure 1
From the error, seems the cause was the Reporting Service Point detected a wrong port. We digged around in Registry and found the information is a Registry key named ReportServerUri at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP. After changing the Report
Server address to https. The error is gone as shown in Figure 2. But the issue remains, the Console still shows nothing. It is not a right direction.
Figure 2
2. Open the Console log file, it also shows some valuable information.
instance of __ExtendedStatus
                Operation = "ExecQuery";
                ParameterInfo = "SELECT * FROM SMS_Site WHERE SiteCode = 'PRI'";
                ProviderName = "WinMgmt";
\r\n

Figure 3
It seems the Console wants to access the old http site and it fails to get into the site for sure. Actually, the Site Configuration information is come from Site Control File and as we all know that ConfigMgr 2012 doesn’t store the Site Control file in the
file system. However, it’s stored in the SQL database (as XML file). The XML file is stored in a view named vSMS_SC_SiteControlXML. This view is a read-only view. We cannot edit it directly. The related table stored the SSRS information for this view is SC_SysResUse_Property.
Running the following query will list the SSRS address. We can see the address is still the old one. This is why the Console shows nothing.
SELECT
name,
value2
FROM dbo.SC_SysResUse_Property
where name
='ReportServerUri'
or name=
'ReportManagerUri'
Remarks:
This article is just to let you know why the Console cannot show the Reports after changing to SSL mode. We do not intend to make you change the table in Database, if you want to change it, you will be at your own risk. The real solution to this situation
is to reinstall your Reporting Service Point.

Ok, but how do you solve this problem? Does uninstalling the RP and adding it back solve this problem?

Link from BOBJ Webi report to CRM webUI screen

Hi experts,
I was wondering, if there's a way to create a link from Webi report (based on CRM data) to webUI content in CRM? For example, Webi report will have opportunity numbers. User will be able to click on the opportunity number and get to webUI screen where he could see opportunity details and maybe even modify it.
Best regards,
Vlad

Hi,
You can link Webi Document to webUI content in CRM with help of Hyperlink based on particular column then you need to parse the data.
Once Parse button is clicked, it displays with the parts of the URL parsed into sections depending on parameters specified in OpenDocument URL.
for more information kindly go through following document.

Link to Child Webi report from Parent Webi report

Hi All,
I have child link for webi report in my parent webi report.
But, when i click on URL for child report, its again asking for logon credentials.
Is there any way to avoid asking logon credentials, instead it should pick credentials from parent.
Please reply.
Thanks,
Bhanu

Hi
If your link contains different host that is, after clicking the link if you want to redirect to another document with another BO server that time you have to supply credential (Login info of this server).
Case of same server no need to supply credential.
Thanks

Webi report publication with org unit personalization mapping

Hi everyone,
I have an HR Webi report whose source is a Bex query and is scheduled (published) weekly. The report is meant for managers so in the dynamic recipient report (another webi report) I have manager's name, email and org unit. Right now the bex query does not restrict by organizational unit, the filtering by unit is done in webi through the 0employee's org unit attribute. This works, each manager only sees data of her own employees.
However, managers would like to see not only their direct people (employees belonging to her own org unit) but also submanagers, ie, managers of subordinate org units. I tried filtering through the org unit of 0ORGUNIT, not the employee's o.unit attribute, but that doesn't work. The same manager shows up multiple times in the report.
Has anyone managed to publish a webi report (or Crystal if that's possible) that shows the chief hat's subhierarchy?
thanks

Hi Graham,
The publication should work in the same way for a user or a group.
Can you please elaborate on u201Cassigning a user to the groupu201D, I believe this is probably where you go wrong.
Please test same workflow I suggested yesterady, but instead of user, use the group:
1. create the profile
2. add the group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the group for that profile
4. add the group to the publication as Recipient
Does it work or not? If so, then do as follow for the user and group:
1. create the profile
2. Add user and group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the user and group for that profile
4. add the user and group to the publication as Recipient
Please note that in the above steps, you donu2019t have to assign the user to the group.

Jeff

Images as Hyperlinks in webi reports

Hi,
I’m trying to link two webi reports (summary through Details) through Open doc syntax using Images in a cell.
We have a requirement to link two webi reports (summary through Detail) using buttons (like Back & email) as images which will be embedded in to the cell and made hyperlink.
I found many articles on "Hyper linking on the images" between 2 webi reports (summary to detail) using open doc syntax which did not help much. So I am starting a new thread.
I’ve 2 scenarios happening, after the images being placed on the server - (…/usr/bobj/<installation Directory>/enterprise/images) –
1st Scenario – Right click on the cell contents, make it read as “hyperlink” and set appearance to “boimg://image-name.png”
Result: Image appears and there is no link. Cursor does not changes or no place to click.
2nd Scenario – Read the image directly into Ahref tag as - <img src=\” boimg://image-name.png\”>
Result: The link works perfectly fine. But, in the image place holder, a big “RED X” appears.
The steps -
- Placed a blank cell
- Right click -> Appearance -> Image from Address: boimg://image-name.png
- Read contents as "Hyperlink" (at this point, tested the cell, image appears fine, but no link appears!)
- Right Click on the same cell -> Document Link -> pass the values of the related objects -> Parse
- Also Include the <img src=\” boimg://image-name.png\”> in the AHref tag generated by the system after open doc call
- In the cell, both the image and the big RED X appears - image does not have a link and the big red X has link but no image. So basically nothing works!
We are on BO 4.1 SP1.
Experts please help!

Hi Fahid,
You can try the below steps which are pretty simple. It worked fine for me. For this I used an image object placed in ROOT directory of a web application server.
1.
Add a blank cell
2.
Right-click on the blank cell and select “Format cell”
3.
Under “General” specify Read content as “Hyperlink”
4.
Apply >> OK
5.
Right click on the cell >> "Edit Formula" >> Use the following formula
="<html><a href='http://localhost:8080' target='_blank'><img src = 'http://localhost:8080/sample.png' /></a></html>"
Hope this helps.

Niraj
