Business Objects Dashboard External HTML/JAVA Script Link - User Authentication Depolyment Q

Hello,I have a rather unstructured problem here and am relatively new to Business Objects Enterprise. We have users who are authenticated through Business Objects. The login sets their access levels and permissions. In addition to the BO reports, we would also like to link through BO Dashboard a JAVA Script webpage.The JAVA Script and Business Object software sits on the same webserver.The problem is that through BO Dashboard and also an external URL link we can only pass a static link (i.e. /some directory/some doc.html) and not a dynamic userid with the URL, which changes based on the user (i.e. /some directory/some doc.jsp?UID=user1).The solution might be to insert a Business Object API call that can determine the user who is currently logged in? Or, if there is some way around the static html link through Business Objects Dashboard?Any ideas or thoughts would be deeply appreciated.Thanks,Joe

Are you setting Business Objects up as an external application?
If so, what parameters are you using to set it up?
Based on the fact that you're seeing the basic auth dialog, you probably need to specify
that it's using basic auth -- not GET.

Need help in SAP Business Object Dashboard

Hey, I need some help.
i have a dashboard which is current built in Qlikview.
Now our client proposed that they need to migrate this dashboard to SAP Business Object.
Please guide about dashboard desigining using SAP, since i am absolute novice about BO so guide according like which BO software needs to be install and some learning material of BO, please email @ [email protected]
Many Many Thanks in advance!!

Too generic to answer this question and also you can find lot of thread, discussions & blogs are available to get the info. Also you can find some templates & samples inside the dashboard itself, play with those component and understand them better.
Best place to get familiar with the dashboard using the tutorials.

Business Objects Infoview 'cms' Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

I was recently notified that we are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. We are using Crystal Enterprise XI R2. I read that we need fix pack 3.5, however i dont know where to find it within SAP. I thought that Service Pack 3 would help but it doesn't appear available to download. Has anyone else talked this vulnerability?

Hi experts,
i checked the permissions at the PCD and everything should be fine.
But what i found out at the moment is that the Business Objects Application does try to change the Browser height and width...for some reasons i don't know.
Well and the portal does not allow this action at the portal browser / content area.
1) The error messages are window.setIframeHeigth :
while (childFrame != parentWin && parentWin.setIframeHeight && parentWin.supportResizeFrameToContent) {
        var x = parentWin.document.body.scrollLeft;
        var y = parentWin.document.body.scrollTop;
        parentWin.setIframeHeight(childFrame.name);
        parentWin.scrollTo(x,y);
        childFrame = parentWin;
        parentWin = childFrame.parent;
2) the other message is Window.document
function findElementById(Id) {
     var mywin = window;
     while (mywin != mywin.parent && mywin.parent && mywin.parent.document) {
          mywin = mywin.parent;
The only way it works now, is when i chosse the option "display at own window" the application is started and can be accessed.
Well, but unfortunal this is not the integration layer i am looking for.. i would like to "integrated" the web application at the portal content area.
Has anybody some other ideas?
Thanks in advantage and beste regards

ID CS5 on Mac 10.5.8 can't run java scripts from User folder

I seem to have a problem with my java scripts in ID on my Mac. I store them in my user scripts folder, but while I can run any applescripts in the folder, doubleclicking on any of the java scripts gets me exactly nothing. If I open the scripts in Extend Script Toolkit and run them from there, they will work, but I can't run them from within ID. The scripts in the Sample Script folder work. I've tried changing the script extentions, I've opened them in the toolkit and resaved them. Still no response at all when I doubleclick on them in the scripts panel. Any idea what could be wrong? I can run the same scripts from within ID on my Windows laptop, so I don't think the scripts themselves are at fault. In fact, I just moved them into the Sample scripts folder, and they run with no problem. Does the User script folder just not work?

Not sure what a screenshot will tell you, but here you go.
Well, I was hoping that the icon next to the scripts would be instructive.
Apparently not, though!
You said the same scripts work fine if you move them into the Application Scripts folder, specifically the Sample Scripts folder. I assume, then, that the sample scripts also break if moved to the User Scripts folder?
Is your User Scripts folder (and thus your home directory) on a non-local (network) filesystem? Are the permissions on it wacky? If you Reveal In Finder it, and Get Info, do you see anything out of the ordinary?
What if you delete it (err, move it aside) and recreate it?
This seems pretty strange...

HTML link from external html page to link to a frame in swf

Hi
I am trying to set up something to should be fairly basic to
do .. but I cannot get it to work.
Need a link from another website to link to a frame label or
number in my flash movie.
Something like this ..
<a href="mySwfPage.php?label=labelnamehere&">Click
here</a>
My guess it will not work because I have several stop
functions and a preloader in the 1st frame not allowing the href
link to jump to the frame name I want.
Here is the page I am trying to apply this to -
http://www.mloudesign.net/tampico/index.html
We need for an external link to link to the espanol label so
that would start first, otherwise the english version plays 1st.
In case this helps this is the preloader I am using in frame
#1 ..
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
~mlou

he! I'm not alone in my desperation. Take a look at my problem:
I've got a JEditorPane (not editable) inside a JFrame. The JEditorPane is loaded with the HTML text and all the links to anchors are working properly when I click on them.
BUT
If I try to go to an anchor from outside this JFrame I can see how the JEditorPane scrolls to the right anchor and suddenly it scrolls back to the place where the caret was located!!!
The "funny thing" is that my code is working in jdk1.3.1 but this is happening in jdk1.4.2. Is it a bug?!?!?!
How could I figure out what position I have to set the caret to for every anchor in order to get the scroll working correctly???
My implementation of hyperlinkUpdate (working properly, here isn't the problem):
 jEditorPane.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
 public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
 if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
 MiEditorPane src = (MiEditorPane)e.getSource();
 src.goToAnchor(e.getDescription().substring(1));
 });My object jEditorPane is an instance of this class:
class MiEditorPane extends JEditorPane {
 MiEditorPane() {
 super();
 public void goToAnchor(String anchor) {
 super.scrollToReference(anchor);
}And this is the method I call from outside the JFrame containing the JEditorPane:
public void goToAnchor(String anchor) {
 jEditorPane.goToAnchor(anchor);
}Any help greatly appreciated ...

Object expected error in java script...

Dear All,
we have Java Struts 1.1...
I am getting "Object Expected" error while processing jsp page.
I want to modify the text field so that only number and one dot(.) should be entered.
I have one function and i am calling it as "onkeypress" event.
Below is the function....
function isNumberKey(evt)
alert("here");
var charCode;
clearerror();
charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode
alert("here");
if (charCode != 46 && charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))
return false;
return true;
and below are html tags...
<td>Total No Of Customers *</td>
<td><html:text property="noOfCustomersUnit" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)" style="width:160px"/></td> Please suggest how to solve the issue....

Why? This is not a javascript forum.
In any case, run it in firefox which has decent Javascript error handling functionality, then do some Google searches on Javascript event handling to try and figure out what you're doing wrong. It might be something browser specific and I suggest you look into using something like JQuery for standardized and proven ways to do things like event handling logic in stead of rolling your own Javascript stuff.

Hi Vijay,
I am on BI 4.0 Sp6 and would like to create a BO Dashboard based on Webi Instance. What is the best approach to do the same.
If you are using LO connection, then its not mobile supported connections & struggled a lot to make it stabilize. but still its a good connection to view the data in dashboard design time.

How to Configure and Access Dashboards from IPad
Dashboards currently support only data manager connections defined using Query Browser as Live Data connections and QaaWS and Flash variable connections support is planned in BI 4.1
In case of live office , how does the refresh mechanism work
Refresh can be done webi side by scheduling the report in repository or you can keep a refresh button in dashboard to refresh the data. I hope automatic refresh is not possible here.
Does add on tools like XWIS help in mitigating the issue
I have no idea regarding this,
Hope this helps.

Photos Break in DW3 - HTML Java script Errors in HELP

Hi
I just opened DWCS3 for the first time since I purchased the Suite last year.
Before this,I was using the Dreamweaver from right before Adobe took over the company, in my G-4 MAC Powerbook and Tiger 10.4.8.
I created a website in that program.
Now I have a MacBook Pro, using Leopard 10.5.7 and DWCS3.
All my files were transferred to this new computer as they were on my Powerbook.
Today, I tried to open my website in DW3 and encountered the following problems:
1) None of the images appeared. Instead, I got "broken" icons in their place.
2) When I went into "HELP" I got this message: The following JavaScript error(s) occured: Unable to open script file: Macintosh HD: Applications: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3: Configuration: Commands: Clean Up Word HTML.js" (error 2 ).
#2 - what does this means.
#1 - can anyone tell me why the images are broken and won't open?
I am not so knowledgable in this program. I can do basics. I don't know what the problems are.
I don't know troubleshooting that well.
Can someone help me with this??
Thank you!!!

First, although the names might seem confusing, Dreamweaver CS3 is NOT DW3. DW3 was released about ten years ago, and is very much out of date. DW CS3 is the version released in 2007. Please use the correct version name. Otherwise, your questions are likely to be ignored.
As for why you get broken image icons, the answer probably lies in the way you have defined the site in Dreamweaver. Press F1 and read the Help pages about setting up a site in Dreamweaver.
As for the JavaScript errors, did you check the Dreamweaver FAQ before posting here? It contains an item, JavaScript and other unexpected errors, that answers your question.

Business Objects Enterprise 4.0 java web applications support

Hello experts,
We are in the process of migrating our BOEXI R2 installation to BOE 4.0. To host BOE java web applications , we are targetting our SAP NW CE 7.2 installation, in accordance to the latest BOE PAM.
Now, the PAM mentions that SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3 is supported as well.
Our questions:
1. Is SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3 = SAP NetWeaver 7.3?
2. Knowing that SAP NetWeaver 7.3 is SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 next release (ref. https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001342562009), if we migrate our SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 to NetWeaver 7.3, than, we should still be supported by SAP, right? ... assuming that the answer to question 1 is yes...
We are confuse with the interpretation of the latest PAM arround the "SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3" statement and if anyone of you experts can help us, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and best regards,
Nathalie

Hi Nathalie,
The BI4.0 PAR details 2 distinct SAP NW versions which are supported:
SAP NetWeaverCE 7.2 SP3
and;
SAP NetWeaverJavaApplication Server 7.3
You ask:
1. Is SAP NetWeaver Java Applications Server 7.3 = SAP NetWeaver 7.3?
Yes, these are the same products.
2. Knowing that SAP NetWeaver 7.3 is SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 next release (ref. https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001342562009), if we migrate our SAP NetWeaver CE 7.2 to NetWeaver 7.3, than, we should still be supported by SAP, right? ... assuming that the answer to question 1 is yes...
Correct, if you migrate from SAP Netweaver CE 7.2 to Netweaver 7.3 you will be supported against BI4.0. The other alternative would be to upgrade your CE 7.2 version to CE 7.2 SP3.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Problem with PermGen memory (Java) - Tomcat Server - Business Object XI

We have installed Business Objects XI on a W2003 Standard with SP2 (x86), using Tomcat as web server and MySQL as DBMS. The server has 4 GB of RAM and dual-core processor. From the beginning we have been given the memory problems of the Java virtual machine. The exception that occurs is of type "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space failure". We modify environment variables (JAVA_OPTS) -XX: PermSize = 256m and-XX: MaxPermSize = 512m and install the monitor LambdaProbe to see the use made of memory. We note that at no time was the PermGen memory indicated by these variables, continuing in that has a default 64MB. For this reason we decided to change the Tomcat 5.5 BO included in the version 6.0.20 and also updated Java to version 1.6.0_18-b07, and make deployment by wdeploy.bat file that comes with BusinessObjects (changing config.tomcat55 and tomcat55.xml). The deployment was successful and everything works, but as with the previous version of Java / Tomcat, shortly PermGen memory fills and returns to "hang". In this latest version of Tomcat installed as a service, do not use environment variables, use an application, "Configure Tomcat", which is a tab to pass parameters to the JVM. After looking at many sites, I have seen to be putting "-D" to pass the parameter. Currently this is my configuration:
-Dcatalina.home = C: \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0-Dcatalina.base = C: \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0-Djava.endorsed.dirs = C : \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0 \ endorsed-Djava.io.tmpdir = C: \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0 \ temp-Djava.util.logging.manager = org.apache.juli . ClassLoaderLogManager-Djava.util.logging.config.file = C: \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0 \ conf \ logging.properties-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote-D-Xms2g-D-Xmx2g-D -XX: + UseConcMarkSweepGC-D-XX:-D PermSize = 256m-XX: MaxPermSize = 512m-Daf.configdir = C: / Program Files / Business Objects / Dashboard and Analytics 12.0-D-verbose: gc-D-XX : + PrintGCTimeStamps-D-XX: + PrintGCDetails
I tried changing the values of-XX: PermSize and XX: MaxPermSize, and modifying the various policies of the Garbage Collector (-XX: + UseConcMarkSweepGC,-XX: + UseParNewGC,-XX: + UseParallelGC, ...), but nothing. Any idea how to get change the value of the report? Or how to solve this problem?
Thank you!

Victor,
Is the Product you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise XI (Release 1)?
With XIR2 and XI31, Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5 are included with the software, and when installed with the BOE installer, you will get an application installed to the startmenu named "Tomcat Configuration".
Using this "Tomcat Configuration" utility, there are several configuration options available. On the JAVA tab, you will see the JAVA_OPTS that are set (These are prefixed with "-D") and also your initial and max memory sizes are listed at the bottom (Max 1024 by default in XI31).
Here is the default setting for permsize in XI31 Tomcat:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M
From your post, your issue might be the spaces in between your values (there should be no spaces, each "-" parameter on its own line).
I would suggest starting Tomcat and reviewing your stdout.log file to review what options were set.
Hope that helps
-Brian
