Business Objects Edge 3.1 - Dynamic Parameters prompting for password

Hi,
I installed BO Edge 3.1 and Crystal Reports 2008.
Designed report which is using dynamic parameter. Then I deployed this report to BO Edge. In CMC I configured database parameters, so user doesnt have to input it everytime when viewing or refreshing report.
The problem is that when there is dynamic parameter in CMC or InfoView it is asking for database credentials anyway.
I found out on the couple forums that it is cause by dynamic parameter. And I found also solution using Business View Manager.
The problem is that BO Edge 3.1 doesnt have in the Client Aplications Business View Manager.
So my questions are :
1. Is there possibility to get Business View Manager for BO Edge?
2. Are there any other possibilities how to specify database credentials also for dynamic parameters so user doesnt have to do that anymore?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Viktor

Going from Crystal XI to Crystal 2008 (Business Objects Edge).

Hi. I currently use Crystal XI use BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 to schedule and run my (our) reports.
I rang the customer support line and they said my questions were best tried out here in the forums.
I currently have five licences for Crystal XI.
I am looking at looking at going over to Crystal 2008, which comes in the Business Objects Edge, standard package.
I had a few questions about doing this and I was hoping the community will be able to assist with.
1. If I go ahead with Crystal 2008 will it need to totally replace my Crystal XI set up? For example could I have some of my staff using XI, and other staff members using 2008, but be able to schedule (and save) the reports centrally from my existing Business Objects Enterprise server?
2. Or would it be simpler to roll out Crystal 2008, via the Business Objects Edge standard package, and migrate the reports from XI to 2008, and in doing so totally replace the use of Crystal XI altogether?
- Are there compatibility issues with migrating reports designed in XI into 2008?
- If so was the quickest solution to rebuild existing reports in 2008?
- Is it simple to do? (say as simple as re-opening the XI reports in 2008 and clicking save?
I appreciate any comments in advance.
Hab.

The 2nd option is the one officially supported by SAP.
Regarding the XI reports stored in the XI R2 repsoitory:
You should just install BO Edge 3.1 on a new server and migrate your XI R2 repository contents into the new installation. YOu can use the ImportWIzard for this.
Regarding local XI reports:
Local XI reports can be migrated by opening them using the CR Designer 2008 and just saving them back to the local filesystem.
BTW if you run into problems with a report which was migrate it as part of the XI R2 repository you can also try to open it from the Edge 3.1 repository using the CR 2008 Designer and save it back again.

Crystal Reports 2008 - saving to Business Objects Edge

Post Author: GWilks
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
When trying to Open or Save a report in Crystal Reports 2008 to the Business Objects Edge server, the following message is received:
Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS.
Does anyone know when or if these two versions will be updated to support each other?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Jeffrey,
The problem when ever you see that error is due to the versions mismatch. The is due to a call into one the updated or older versions of the dll that doesn't exist where it is expected.
They MUST be the same version number.
Options are to bring BOE up to SP3 and FP 3.1 also or roll back CR to SP 2 and Fix Pack 2.7.
Thank you

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

Business Objects Edge SP2

Hello,
Does anyone have any updated information as to when SP2 will be released for Edge?
I have an issue with version 3.1 regarding a reverse pivot not giving correct results, which I think is addressed in this fix:
ADAPT01316434
Reverse Pivot transforms produced incorrect result when a Table Comparison transform appears in the downstream in the same data flow.
For info - a workaround to this problem is to include a temporary table connected directly to the reverse pivot, as well as the rest of your flow. Not ideal, but it does then function correctly.
Thanks,
Rhodri

I installed the business object edge series and business object edge integration. The guide of edge integration tells to confirm if the file sap_desktop.war exists, and this file WASN'T created. Does anyone knows why??

Installing Fix Pack for Business Objects EDGE XI R3

Hi,
Has anyone had any experience installing the Business Objects EDGE XI R3 fixpack?
I'm curious as to how to install it and what changes it will make. I tried quickly searching the SAP support site and did not find much.
I want to find out as much as possible before installing this in a LIVE system.
We are using RHEL with tomcat and mysql for our system.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi,
you can find the "fixed issues" and "whats new" documents at the download of the FP. Just click the "Info" link and you will be pointed to the Documents.
You only need to install a FP if this solves an actual Bug you are facing with.
The only installation Problem i often face is the deployment of the Web Applications of the Fix Pack. Somethimes i have to re- deploy all the war Files using wdeploy.
So if you have a custom Web Application deployed on your BOE Tomcat or customized the BOE Application make a Backup before.

SAP Business Objects Edge 3.0

Hi Gurus,
I was downloaded the SAP Business objects Edge 3.0 Trial version from SAP. I am using SAP 4.7 with oracle 9.2 DB... I want to integrate Edge 3.0 with our SAP for reporting purpose.. Please explain how can i configure this and what are the other softwares are required for this. I go throw the guides but i am not getting clear idea.
Now i just installed the business objects enterprise in one system web console are login correctly.
But i don't know how to connect my SAP DB with this.
Please help me.
Regards
Mahendran

Hi,
you still need the mentioned software packages even if you do not have an SAP BI system. You can also configure your SAP R/3 system to do the BO authentication. The main difference is that you have to use crystal reports in order to access the data in your SAP system. You cannot report using Web Intelligence (universes) on an SAP R/3 data source.
So you have to do the following:
1) Install the SAP BusinessObjects Edge 3.0 software on host A
2) Install the Crystal Reports Designer 2008 V0 on host B (HostA and hostB can also be the same computer)
3) Install the Java Connector 2.1.8 on host A ([http://service.sap.com\connectors]). You will find more information on this in the installation guide of the integration Kit for SAP solutions.
3) Install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host A (Choose the server option in the installation). Please follow the instructions in the installation guide on how to do this.
4) If hostA and hostB are two different machines then please install also the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host B (Choose the desktop option in the installation)
5) Import the transports delivered in the integration KIT for SAP solutions in your SAP R/3 system (Check the installation guide for more information on these steps)
6) Configure the SAP authentication in your BOBJ Edge system (necessary if you want to logon with your SAP credentials in BOBJ)
This way you should be able to create reports based on your SAP R/3 data.

Stratos

XFA Pdf form call secure webservice without prompt for password

Hi,
We are using XFA forms within the company. We have created many (400+) interactive forms with fields to fill manually.
Now the business would like to lookup account details. They want user to be able to enter account number and then lookup details through webservice.
The webservice is created on HOST/CICS and in COBOL. We need security on HTTPS and we cannot accept that the user is prompted for password.
Our security department state that normal practice is to use KERBEROS token that gets authenticated later - is that possible with Adobe Reader??
Have anyone developed this functionality within XFA forms and Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Groenbaek

Reader can make Web Service calls but the form must be Reader Extended by LiveCycle Server to allow this. It does support secure web service calls but it does uid/pwsd or certificate authentication. Note that the web service can only return simple types. Objects cannot be returned.

Why does Outlook keep prompting for password

We have seen our community members ask questions about Outlook keeps prompting for credentials many times. This issue could be caused by numerous reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for this problem:
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
Incorrect password cached in credential storage
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
Corrupt Outlook profile
Slow or unstable network connection
Antivirus programs
Shared calendars
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
If you are using an Exchange account, there is a setting in your Outlook profile to always prompt for logon credentials. To find the setting, please follow:
1. In Outlook 213, go to File tab > Info >
Account Settings > Account Settings…
2. Highlight your Exchange account and click Change button.
3. Click on More Settings button.
4. Select the Security tab.
5. Under the User Identification, make sure the “Always prompt for logon credentials” option is not selected.
If you are using other types of email, please make sure you have ticked the option “Remember password”.
Incorrect credential cached in Credential Manager
Your Windows system stores user credentials on your computer. If the cached credentials are incorrect, you will be prompted for password. This issue usually happens after the password for your domain user account is changed. Before your password changed,
you saved your credentials. The stored credentials are not overwritten when Outlook triggers the authentication prompt even if you enable the Remember my credentials option.
To fix this issue, you need to remove the corrupted credentials, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Credential Manager.
Note If View by is set to Category, click User Accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.
Locate the set of credentials that has Outlook in the name.
Click the name to expand the set of credentials, and then click Remove from Vault.
Repeat step 3 for any additional sets of credentials that have the word Outlook in the name.
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Different email provider may need different authentication settings. Please make sure you have set the server settings correctly. You can contact your email provider to gather the information.
In general, we select the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option and the first bullet “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
In addition, click on the Advanced tab and check if you have enter the correct Server Port Number and select the correct encrypt type. Below is a screenshot for an IMAP account:
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
The Outlook Anywhere feature allows you to access your Exchange account remotely from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall.
When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your Exchange server, we need to choose
the authentication method among Basic Authentication, NTLM Authentication and Negotiate Authentication. The difference among them is the way that the passwords are sent when connecting to the server. With Basic Authentication,
the password is sent in clear text. Using NTLM Authenticationcan significantly reduce the number of password prompts.
To check the authentication setting, please go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings,
select the Exchange account, and then click
Change. In the Change Account wizard, click
More Settings, and then click the Connection tab. Click the Exchange Proxy Settings button and now, you can see the settings under
Proxy authentication settings. Try to change the authentication to
NTLM Authentication and then check the issue again.
Slow or unstable network connection
If your network connection is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose connection to the mail server. When Outlook try to reconnect, it will prompt for the credentials. To verify this, please switch to a stable network environment and then check if this issue
persists.
Corrupt Outlook Profile
Corrupt profile may cause Outlook to no longer remember your password. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to fix the issue. To create a new mail profile, you can refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
Antivirus software
Antivirus software usually integrates into your Outlook and it may cause some conflicts. Try to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone.
Shared Calendar
Shared calendars can impact the user credentials, this issue may also occur if you have shared calendars opened in Outlook. You can try to unselect the shared calendar to check the result. It’s recommended to not open the shared calendar unless you want
to view them.

Nope...
I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
time I start Outlook. None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me. I don't even have to supply a password. When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it. Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
"Need Password" with a key icon to the left. Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
The freaking software is BROKEN! Period.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

Outlook 2010 prompting for password

Hi everybody. I ran into an issue yesterday morning where at one of our sites Outlook 2010 has started prompting for a username and password. If the user types in their username as "MYDOMAIN\myuser" and their password, it lets them in but the Exchange
status shows as "Disconnected". If the user sets their username to just "myuser" without the domain on the front it lets them in and works as expected until they close Outlook, at which point they have to enter their credentials again.
The strangest thing about this is that it's only affecting one of our sites and only Outlook 2010. Users running 2007 and 2003 do not have the problem and only users at this physical location have the problem. Does anybody know where I can look? I have tried
clearing stored credentials, created new Outlook profiles and reset passwords. None of these things seem to have had any effect.

After changing a ton of outlook settings, deleting the user's account profile on outlook, deleting their domain profile from the effected computer, trying to fix the registry, deleting stored credentials, etc.... almost everything else I found something
that FINALLY worked for me after over a year and about 12 different users being effected.
in the past I would just give up after much frustration and upgrade them to Office 2013 but that gets very expensive especially when I have 57 other users that could potentially run into the same issue.
Here is what I did.
- back up the user's data. log out and log into local admin
- delete the user from the local registry
- repair Office 2010 through control panel/programs, restart
- have user log back in with their credentials to make new local profile. recover their backed up documents. log out and log back in as local admin.
- install hotfix KB2597011
- restart computer
- install hotfix KB2583935
-restart computer
- log in, open outlook and setup user's account.
Some of these steps may be skipped as I didn't find the hot-fixes until after I repaired office, however I am just providing what I did in the process to end up with a working outlook again.
Some things unique to my situation that may or may not help.
- I noticed some of the computers have Office2010 32bit installed on 64 bit machines.
- Some of the users were swapped over using a profile mover program when we moved to a domain environment.
- For me this always happens when the user's passwords expire and they have to log in to the portal to change it. Then outlook starts with the repeated prompt for passwords. It is always computer specific and nothing but what I provided above has worked
other than re installing windows 7 and then office or upgrading to office 2013.

Office 365 Outlook prompts for password whenever outlook is restarted.

Hello Folks,
We have recently deployed Office 365 (We had Kerio email system previously, But we did not do a migration).
The problem is
Office 365 Outlook prompts for password whenever outlook is restarted
Tried the following workarounds,
1) Logon network security under More
Settings on the Microsoft Exchange Security tab
is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication
2) Tried removing the Generic Credentials from Credential manager.
The is issue is only for some users (Majority).
(OS Platform: Windows 7/Windows 8).
Thanks in Advance

The first thing I would recommend to do is to make sure that your install missing Outlook updates and try again.
I would also recommend asking them in this forum: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=outlook

I would expect you to add the RSA public key to the "authorized_keys2" file and not the "authorized_keys" file.
