Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4 Infoview and IE9 HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path

Hi There,
When I working in Infoview with IE9 32Bit or 64Bit and I right click on any object i.e Crystal Report, Folder, Webi Report etc. and select properties I get the following Error
HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path /PlatformServices/properties was requested
Has any one got a workaround or a solution for this problem.
Server - BOE XI 3.1 with SP4 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit.
Client PC`s\Laptops - Windows 7 64 bit
Kind Regards,
Frikkie

Dear all,
Seems the issue is browser compatibility ans the below solution may work in your case
HTTP 400 occurs because of URL difference between IE9 and older versions of supported IE. To resolve this issue, this error in Tomcat will be redirected to a HTML script that applies new URL format. Please follow this 3 steps process:
STEP ONE: Solution in InfoViewAppActions Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from InfoViewAppActions folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions\WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
        <error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/httperror_400.htm</location>
    </error-page>
STEP TWO: Solution in AnalyticalReporting Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from AnalyticalReporting folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting \WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>

WebElements 2.46 with business Objects XI3.1 SP4?

Hi Guys,
We recently upgraded our Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.8 to Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4. When we try to view WebElements Report via CR2008 or via Infoview it basically shows just the HTML code behind that report. We followed the WebElements 2.46 guide to configure the BusinessObjects Enterprise server to allow pass-through HTML but it's still the same.
Just wondering if anyone out there is running WebElements on Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4? Or if anyone has a similar issue?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Adnan

hi Adrian,
there were some issues with webelements in the latest service pack of xi 3. this was due to changes in the xi 3 dhtml viewer.
if you've got a test bed with the latest version up still, please try the latest version of webelements [here|Crystal Reports webElements]. that version is .247 and has been tested on xi 3 (latest service pack) and bi 4.0.
the 246 version will not work on bi 4.0. we have no customer feedback for webelements on bi 4.0 as this will be the first release for 4.0. there were recent changes in a fix pack of bi 4.0 which delayed the release of webelements by quite a bit...sorry for that.
there are also a couple of new functions in 247 too.
i hope this helps,
jamie

Bex3.5 query to Business Objects

Hello experts.
Can anyone tell me on the possibilities of porting the Bex 3.5 queries directly to Business Objects.
This is without upgrading to BI 7.0 queries.
Thanks
Mrinalini

Hi Mrinalini,
I am agree with Shiva for data up gradation in BOE You can use webi. XI 3.1 and SAP BEX .
Best performance optimizations are done on both SAP BW backend on SP5 and on BOXI 3.1 on Service pack 2 Fixpack 2.1.
For Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports) even if you have built them with the Query Designer 3.5. in BEX Query analyzer who support BOE 3.1 , You can use your stuff for best Query writing , design for the same !!

Unable to Save more than 1 Business-object-provider for the Connector.

I m using MEP 1.0 Platform.
My Ecbo Connector "BankDb" had initially "Account" Object Provider which i was able to save successfully via the MEP console.Later on i added the "Statement" Object Provider to the same connector. But i get this Exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object:
{[[email protected]f,
[email protected]55,
[email protected]f,
[email protected]c,
[email protected]2,
[email protected]d,
[email protected]9]} is not a known entity type.
I shut down my Server & then restarted it.i removed the AccountObject Provider & Added StatementObject Provider instead & clicked save & it saved my Connector Successfully But when i tried to add the AccountProvider too i get the same exception.In short i am unable to save both providers at the same time in the console.
I googled later on & found something Similar on java.net
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3235
I am not sure about all of this as i am just a beginner.
Please Help
Thx in Advance
Alex.

Hello, thanks for your interest in the GlassFish Mobility Platform. The ECBO architecture supports exactly one business-object-provider per connector. You could combine your account and statement data into a single composite business object. You could also upgrade to MEP 1.1 and use the dynamic data feature (JerseyME) on the client to retrieve dynamic data such as the statement report and use the business-object-provider for the synchronized data, ie. the account activity. For more information see the [Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 Developer's Guide for Enterprise Connectors|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7207] .

Hans

Business Objects / BODS Upgrade

Hi Guys.
We have an end to end Business Objects solution implemented in our environment consisting of BODS (XIR3), Business Objects (XIR3) and Crystal Reports (2008). We are planning to upgrade the BODS and Business Objects environments to the latest version but would first like just the BODS to be upgrade as the support for the application has now been ceased by SAP. I believe for the same we would require to use IPS as BOE will still be at the old version and in the latest version BOE and BODS have been integrated.
Please can you suggest any documentation which we can refer for such scenarios and will we be facing any problems once we upgrade BOE in future in integrating it with BODS as that will be dependent on IPS. Any information on the Pros and Cons on using this methodology will be very helpful.
Please let me know if in case any further details are required. Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Cheers,
Shazin

Hi
since there is no really an upgrade package from XI R2 to XI 3.x you have to do a new XI 3.x installaiton and copy afterwards your repository contents from the old to the new system. THis means that the old system is always available for your users. The migration process is officially supported and SAP should provide support for any related issues.
I would recommend to start on both sides with the most actual Service pack and fix pack version. For XI R2 this should be SP6 with FP 6.1 (note: you should have at least SP4 on XI R2 in order to do the migration) and for XI 3.1 this should be SP 2 with FP 2.6.

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.

Upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI R3

Hi Guys,
I am upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI R3. The server which have Crystal Enterprise 10 is not on the network, please let me know to copy CMS database from CRE10 (Not on the network) to BOXIR3.
Burhan
Thanks

you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.

Business Objects Planning Database Upgrade

I have attempting to upgrade Business Objects Planning from version 11.2 to 11.6. The upgrade appears to run successfully, however, when I attempt to start the Planning Application Services, the service fails to start up, stating the current DB version is less than the working version. I have spoken to our consultant, who stated he knew nothing of any changes that must be made to the database. The first portion of the error log is copied below. I have tried an incremental step of upgrading from 11.2 to 11.5 and have received the same error. What must I do to configure the database either before or after the upgrade?
Application is set up as single server.
OS is windows server 2003
Database is Oracle 10.2.0.4.
Database user is SRCAdmin, and is an owner of the db.

hi Santhosh,
you may be able to use the query builder tool to do this.
BusinessObjects Query builder - Basics
if you need further info on using this particular tool let me know & i'll move your question to the bi platform space.
you can also look into 3rd party tools such as rpt inspector which may be able to do this.

Upgrading CE 10 to Business Objects XIR3 by using Import Wizard

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI3, I have installed Business Objects XI3 on a new server, I will be using Import Wizard to import Objects, groups, Users ect... Do I need to copy the contents of the CE10 FRS input and output directories to the BOE XI3 FRS input and output directories?
Please help.
Thanks,
Burhan

Do I need to copy the contents of the CE10 FRS input and output directories to the BOE XI3 FRS input and output directories?
No. Do not do this. The import wizard will migrate your objects and copy them to the FRS in 3.x format for you, nothing manual like this is needed.

Unicode upgrade of Business Objects

Hi All,
Can someone let me know how to do Unicode upgrade of Business objects.
For programs, we can set the unicode attribute, in the similar way how to set this Unicode attribute for Business objects?
Amogh

Hi Amogh.
We have the same issue.
Whe are in the middle of the ABAP unicode enabling and we haven't found a solution for some customer Business Objects - e.g. Z_BUS2017. They are OK (UCCHECK transaction) but they haven't the Unicode flag. The standard Object BUS2017, program MM07MMOB have the Unicode flag activeted (view TRDIR-UCCHECK).
If you have got a solution please, advice us.
Best regards,
Carlos

We have to upgrade IE9 to IE11 (Internet Explorer ) for Business Objects XIR2 environment

Hi Experts,
We are currently using Business Objects XIR2 Infoview link in Internet Explorer 9 version. Now my client wants to upgrade IE9 to IE11.
Is it compatibility to Business Objects XIR2
Please let me know if we have any issue for upgrade to IE11 .
Thanks,
Veera

XIR2 is not compatible with IE11 at all. You're user will see all sorts of possible issues. Or no issues at all.
XIR2 is no longer supported by SAP (several years now) so no testing or patching been done to make XIR2 compatible.
