Business Objects Enterprise and publishing Access Database reports

Hi,
I have searched the forum but cannot find anything to help me so any help would be appreciated
I have an access database on a shared drive that I want to publish a report for.
On the BO server I created a system DSN to the database through a mapped drive.
I use the publishing wizard to configure the report but I am getting the following error when I try and run the report:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: -1023 ]
I have also gone in on the Business View Manager and created the connection and it connects successfully.
I have successfully published Sybase and SQL reports but I just cannot get the connection to the Access Database to work.
Thanks in advance,
Sinead

Try using UNC to point to the database.  In other words,
servername\sharepoint.
Also, make sure the service account of the server processing the report (I don't think you mentioned what type of report it was) is running under a domain user account that has access to the share (rather than the default local system).  You can set this in the CCM.

  • Crystal Reports published on Business Objects Enterprise Server

    Hi all,
    I am having a few difficulties after i save my crystal report to the Business Objects Enterprise Server XI 3.1.
    1) for the reports with static parameters the "Crystal Reports Print Control" doesbnot work. It gets stuck and i guess cannot load the print function. Don't know what exactly causes it but i made two similar one field reports and saved them to the server. One with a dynamic parameter and the other with a static parameter.
    The report with static parameter could not be printed.
    This happens when i use the HTML viewer for crystal reports. I cannot use the activeX or Java viewers as they mess up the formatting of my Arabic reports.
    2) For some reports i get one type of parameter screen (like we get while running through the designer) while for other reports i get a different type of Parameter Entry Screen. Sometimes when i view the report first time i get the former type of parameter screen and when i refresh the report i get the later screen.
    3) Also my dynamic parameters are not showing all the values when the reports are saved to the above mentioned server. On my desktop i made the LOV registry tweak and it works fine. I did the same tweak on server registry but it is not working.
    Thanks a lot even if u read it

  • Business Objects Enterprise Licensing for Crystal Reports

    I am new to Business Objects & Crystal Reports. I have recently been given the repsonsibility of supporting our BO XI R2 environment. This system is not in production yet, but initial use has shown an inability to create a crystal report.
    If I select Crystal Reports Explorer in Business Objects Enterprise Applications, I get the following error:
    "You do not have the correct keycode installed to use this option. Please contact your support office for further details."
    I informed my boss who provided me with a "Crystal Reports Explorer Windows XI R2 License CPU English" keycode.
    I entered this keycode in the License keys correctly. The license reflects "BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Explorer" but does not show any licenses - just dashes for named users, concurrent users, processors, expires...
    I still get the same error when accessing the Crystal Reports Explorer.
    Am I missing something here? Is there more that I need to do, or is there a problem with the keycode?

    Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
    BI Platform
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
    Thank you for your understanding,

    Hi,
    here are some answers:
    1. Well for the Installation of the Software as itself (not the databases) i would recommend at least 30 GB. All the Reports are getting stored physically in the installation directory. This behavior is by default. Later you can move the FileStore (where the Reports, Universes, etc. are located in) to a NAS share f.e.
    With Regards to the Databases i would recommend 1 GB for the CMS DB and 5 GB for the Audit DB. It depends on how you Audit your System. If you audit more actions, more information in the Audit DB will be stored.
    2. 2 Schemas on one DB is fine
    3. Usually you run a BOE installation on UNIX/LINUX under an installation user. BOE will be installed into his Home Directory.
    Regards

  • Business Objects Enterprise vs Crystal Reports Server for Central Reporting

    A question for all the Architects and Administrators out thereu2026
    I have a vision of centrally managing operational reporting (reporting directly against applications and/or ODS databases).  The main reasons:
    - Management of Security
    - Management of Report Inventory
    - More efficient use of server resources and capacity (clustering/sharable)
    This will be Crystal Reports only.
    Is Business Objects Enterprise a feasible solution for this or is a series of Crystal Reports Servers?
    My understanding is that the server version does not cluster or scale and a series of them operates independently from each other.  Is there a concern of the over-kill or magnitude of Business Objects Enterprise for just Crystal Reports?
    What are everyoneu2019s thoughts?
    Thanks Much
    Ryan Shaw
    Enterprise Architect

    Hi Ryan,
    It really depends what meets your business needs.  If you require to scale and expand your BOE XI environment then BOE is what you'll need.  BOE will allow you to have clustered CMS' and have multiple processing servers that reside on remote servers.
    If your deployment does not require a lot resource and one server can handle the amount of reporting requests and logons,  then CR Server would be the better choice.  You are correct,  CR Server is not scalable and is a single server install only.  You cannot expand or add additional BOE servers on remote servers if you use CR Server.
    Regards,
    Wallie

    If you want to centralize this,  a series of CR Servers will not work as each installation will be its entity.

  • Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects  Enterprise

    Can anybody just tell me in brief what is the Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects  Enterprise?

    Here's the brief summary:
    CR Server is essentially Business Objects Enterprise with the following limitations:
    - Limited to a single server (no clustering)
    - Limited to a maximum of 4 CPUs
    - Limited to the Crystal Reports content type
    - Limited to a maximum of 20 Concurrent Users (or CAL - Concurrent Access License)
    - One CAL can service between 5 and 10 'real people' depending on your usage patterns.
    - No Web Intelligence
    - No Crystal Xcelsius
    - No Dashboarding
    - No Enterprise Performance Management
    - No Data Integrator
    It is ideal for a departmental or a small company reporting server.  It includes
    - CAL licensing (BusinessObjects Enterprise doesn't)
    - One copy of CR Developer Edition for every 5 CAL purchased (Report designers are extra with BusinessObjects Enterprise)
    - Live Office for office integration
    - Sharepoint 2003 Portal Integration Kit
    - Web based report administration and consumption
    - Business Views Manager for semantic layer maintenance
    I hope this helps - let me know if you have more questions.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI - A subset of Business Objects Enterprise?

    Post Author: RVM
    CA Forum: General
    I'm evaluating Crystal Reports Server XI with a view to fulfilling the reporting requirements of my Client. I've identified Crystal Reports Server XI as the ideal solution and have been looking for documentation that describes the constituents of CRS XI and the architecture of the product from a technical perspective. I haven't been able to locate an administrators guide for CRS XI similar to the one available for crystal Enterprise 10 and Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. I've read that CRS XI is a subset of Business Objects Enterprise XI and as such has the same arichitecture. COuld some please clarify what constituents of BO Enterprise XI also reside within CRS XI?
    Thanks in advance,
    RVM

    Post Author: yangster
    CA Forum: General
    It is kind of annoying that they didn't bother to create any documentation for Crystal Server XI.I've used both products and the key difference is that Crystal Server XI is limited to 20 user licenses (combination of either named or concurrent types) so if you have a very large user environment then your only choice may be BO XI.In terms of development and deployment the key difference between the 2 is that BO XI allows you to create universes.  Which in terms allows you to use the Webi functionality.  You can still use webi in Crystal Server but that's kind of pointless as the only universes you will be able to report off are sample universes.  Within Crystal Server you will still have all the functionality that exist in BO XI with the exception of the universes so you can still build business views, list of values, schedule reports, create custom calenders, etc.  So if you were to just snip out everything that deals with universes in the BO XI admin guide you'd have the Crystal Server admin guide.

    Hi MK,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you published Access database to SharePoint 2013.
    Please deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features at site collection level and deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features at site level, then activate them again, compare the result.
    Per the error message, please type a value in the ‘Name’ filed, then publish the table, compare the result.

  • Use of MYSQL when installing Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1

    Hello Team,
    I am quite new Business Objects and right now I am using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1.
    when installing BO XI 3.1, I was prompted to select the database server to be created. I chose MySQL.
    Now, I am curious to know the pupose/involvement of a database server for BO. I understand that the database is being managed/used by CMS and it has four main functions:
    Maintains security (users)
    Manages objects (folders, reports, and program objects)
    Manages servers (services)
    Manages auditing (system auditor).
    Is there any better explanation to the database and its purpose?
    what does the database schema/user holds (any database objects,tables,etc..,)?
    Does repository and database schema the same?
    Are all the report objects, users and universe being stored in the database schema?
    Thanks in advance for the reply.
    Regards,
    Kathir

    CMS handles security and routes the request to other services.
    Yes, CMS also maintains the BOE repository.
    CMS is responsible for authenticating users and groups, and keeping track of the availability of the other BusinessObjects Enterprise services. If CMS is down then users wont be able to log into BOE.
    Report Objects, Universe are stored in the Input File Repository and the instances are stored in Output File Repository server.
    In simple words, CMS is like heart of BOE.

  • Upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects Enterprise 11

    Here's the situation:
    We decided to upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 10 on server A to Business Objects Enterprise 11 on server B. We went with the method of importing all the objects and users from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects Enterprise 11. The import also brought in all the DB connection settings that were set in Crystal Enterprise 10. I also brought over all the ODBC System DSNs so that those can be consisten with the old server.
    The problem we are having is that the reports are failing due to the connections to the database. I thought importing the database connection settings from Crystal Enterprise 10 along with bringing over the ODBC System DSNs would not make this an issue but it hasn't.
    I checked the server logs in SQL and it's telling me that it's trying to log into the server as NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON. Shouldn't it try to log under whatever I define in the report's database settings or ODBC System DSNs?
    These same reports work fine in Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise 10.
    Edited by: Gingerbread Man on Feb 9, 2010 10:41 AM

    go into the properties of the report and verify that the Database Login values are still set.  I found that it doesn't always transfer those when doing the import.

  • Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 / Linux / Oracle / Tomcat Web Server

    Hello Experts,
    I have never done a BOBJ install before and I have some questions:
    First, here is our setup: Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 / Linux / Oracle / Tomcat Web Server
    1.     We are being asked how big u2013 disk space- to make the server. All I can find is 14 GB for an English only install, there is no documentation on how big the databases need to be. Does anyone have any experience and can tell me how big the databases are going to be initially? I need to tell the server team how much space to put on the server.
    2.     The documentation says to have two databases or schemas, one for Central Management Server and one for the Auditing Data Store. My question around this is whether there is a preferred way to do it, separate databases or separate schemas?
    3.     The documentation does not say anything about the file system layout, do we need to create the standard SAP file system layout (i.e. /sapmnt, etc.)
    Many many thanks in advance, any advice would be a greate help .. please help

  • Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 FTP Transfer Problem

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone out there will be familiar with the issue I'm having and be able to provide a solution.
    We are running Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 on our Windows 2003 server.  I've created and scheduled a job on the server that creates an XLS file containing loan portfolio data that is to be transmitted to a third party client on a monthly basis.
    The problem centers around the method of transfer, which is via FTP to a secure site hosted by the client.  When executed through Crystal, the FTP actually does achieve a successful login using the credentials the client provided (we have verified this repeatedly by looking at the logs), but the client's server "kicks out" when we attempt any operation on it.
    A similar result was produced when we attempted to FTP to the site via the Windows command line.  The login was successful, but even a simple command to view the directory "dir" resulted in the connection being rejected.   To make a long story short, after reviewing the issue extensively with the client's technical department, our conclusion was that the problem was the result of the FTP sending in "active" mode instead of "passive".  We confirmed this by installing a freeware FileZilla on the same server, and switching between active and passive modes (active failed, passive did not).
    Their tech people recommended that we contact SAP to get answers to two questions, which I'm hoping someone out there may know:
    1)  How does Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 execute the FTP process?  Is it using its own native logic or simply invoking the command line?
    2)  Is there any setting with the console that would enable us to modify the FTP settings to send force it to send in passive mode?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This is a known limitation. BO only supports active mode for FTP. Refer 1782115 - Which FTP mode is supported as a schedule or publication destination for reference.
    If you are able to write a batch file or a program object to transfer a file from a file location to Client FTP, you can try the below workaround.
    1. Add the script\batch file as a program object in BO. In the script make sure you include the code to delete the instance after it is successfully transmitted through FTP.
    2. Create a File event pointing to the location along with the name of the instance.
    3. Schedule the report to the file location with the specific instance name.
    4. Schedule the program object based on the file event you created in step 2.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards
    Chinmaya
