BOXI3.1 How to dedicate server groups to select Webi reports?

We have a select number of Webi reports that we would like to always run on a specific server group which consists of a number of WebIntelligenceProcessingServer(s). I can get this to work fine by 1) setting up the server group 2) Specifying that server group in the "Default Settings" of a Webi report using the CMC 3) scheduling the report and viewing the latest instance. However I can find no way of stopping all other Webi reports in the system from running on that same server group.
Anyone know how to set a server group up so that it only processes specific reports and not ever report in the entire BO XI repository?
Thanks,
George

I have set up a little test on my BOE 3.1 SP3 system and have found the following:
2 server group: SDKNO and SDKYES
4 WEBI Server (2 ADP and 2 WPS)
Have given SDKNO a set of WEBI servers and have given SDKYES the other WEBI servers
Created 2 user group SDKNO and SDKYES
Have set SDKNO group to have NO acess to SDKYES and full control to SDKNO have set SDKYES group with full control to SDKYES and No Access to SDKNO
Have created and schedlued webi reports as a user that should have NO access to the SDKNO server group and reports will still use the SDKNO servers.
I have gone one step further and set security directly to the servers as opposed to the server group and still a member of the "SDKNO" group can use the "SDKYES" servers.
Apperantly there does not seem to be a way to isolate servers based on group membership.
What does this mean to you?
Basically, if you want to use serve groups and you want to ensure that no "other reports" use any available server then all reports MUST be assigen to a only use a specific server group as, if this is not set, the "use first avaialble" option will come into affect and trump any server group security settings that have been set up.

How to setup "Server Groups" in RSPC (process chains)?

I'm a BASIS person working with our BI group on setting up their loads to only run on the application servers. If you don't define a host in RSPC, it will always run on the database server. We don't want to specific one host in case that server has issues. How can we setup the "server group" so we can use all our application servers for these process chains. It doesn't seem to use the SMLG logon groups we defined already.
Thanks in advance!

I have setup the load balancing in the RFC, but for these jobs that are submitted via RSPC, they don't look at the SMLG parameters, they just always pick the database server. We can specify one host (other than the database server) in RSPC similar to SM36, but we were trying not to do that so in case that server is down, these jobs wouldn't fail.
I thought we could setup a "server group" and assign our 3 application server to them that way they would never fail if one is unavailable and it would keep them off the database server.

This will list three radio buttons ""Query View","Query" and "InfoProvider" under "Define Data Provider Type".You can select "Query View" radio button and assign Query View.

How to get the Empty page in Webi report

Hi,
I have to insert the charts in the report but i don't have the space to insert the charts in same page so i need one more page how to get the blank page in report
thanks,

turn your report from Page Layout to Draft Mode. Than you will be able to insert chart in it.
You can view Web Intelligence reports in different modes depending on how you want to work with data and how you want the data to appear.
1. In Web Intelligence Interactive, select the report tab of the report you want to view.
2. Click the arrow next to the View button on the main toolbar above the report.
3. Select the viewing mode.
4. In the Java Report Panel or Web Intelligence Rich Client, use Switch Page/Quick Display on the Reporting toolbar to alternate between Page mode and Quick Display mode.

Apparent server timeout when running Webi report

Hi,
when running a Webi report in BOXIr2 SP4 we are getting the follwing error which appears to indicate that the reports is hitting the Webi Report Server timeout:
"The Web Intelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your BusinessObjects administrator. (Error: WIJ 20002)"
However we get the error after approximately 5 minutes, but the Webi Report Server connection timeouts are all set to 60 mniutes.
What other settings could be causing this 5 minute problem? The same report works fine when a shorter period of time (and so a smaller selection of data) is used in the parameters.
thanks
Keith

Hi,
Do you have a Windows Server?
If so, please find the below information, you need to implement this on the server box.:
Swap Timeout
This is the amount of time before a user session WebI document would be removed. In other words, this controls the flushing interval of WebI temporary files. When you are in the Java Report Panel and you leave it idle for more then 5 minutes (Default), you will notice that you will no longer be able to save your
WebI report into the CMS or your report will take longer to generate. This is because every 5 minutes the WebI cache is cleared so those temporary files would have to be regenerated by refreshing the document before you can actually save the document.
The temporary files can be found in
..\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\ServerName\
ServerName.Web_IntelligenceReportServer\sessions\SessionID\
In order to modify this timeout you need to change the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite
11.5\default\WebIntelligence\Server\Admin\SwapTimeOut
Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks,
Madhu.

How to restrict values of Dimensions in Webi report prompt

Hi
I need to create a WebI report for a set of Business users. We have several thousands of Agencies. Business Users want to see only the agencies they work with (about 100) in the prompt. This way they need not go through thousands of agencies they dont work with. I tried to use List Of Values option but that didnt give me desired result. Please let me know how to restrict values in prompt to few values from the n number of values available in database.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there is no such step-by-step!
I would encourage you to consult documentation and search for terms 'row level restriction' in the help guides.
Practice makes perfect
Good luck
