Business Objects Xi3.1 access to SQL 2005

What level of security does the BO service account need to a SQL 2005 database?
We are having some issue with getting the permissions correct.
Thank you,
Krysta

Hi,
could you please state your problem in more detail. Do you talk about SQL Server as Repository DB or as DB for your reporting ?

Business Object XI3.0

Hello,
I Install the Business Object XI3.0 successfully. Where can wei see system name, usename, password information. what will be the default user name ? installation time system asked me Mysql root user Account password,Mysql Business Objects User name & password. I tried all these user names and passwords its giving invalid user name or password.
Folks where wecan see User name and password infomation?
Thanks

Hi Jacqueline, the Motors database does not come with the BusinessObjects installation. If you have taken a training class, it should be provided in the class material (in a CD on the back of the training book if you have purchased the book).
Since you took a web based training instead of an instructor-led training class, I am not familiar on how the training materials are disseminated. Did they ever ask you to download the training materials? Or perhaps your BO Admin had downloaded and installed the Motors database? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to go through the training class back then. How did you do the practice exercises?
Regardless, if you don't have it for some reason, you can always contact SAP Support for assistance.
If you are using the BusinessObjects tool, you should join [ASUG|www.asug.com]

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

Business Objects Password reset via Oracle SQL

Post Author: Neville
CA Forum: Administration
Hello ,
Is it possible to reset a Business Objects user Password using Oracle SQLPlus?
The password data is stored under obj_m_actor in the repository!
Regards,

What do you mean by "application"?We do have a number of home grown applications that require username, and password.
Some of these application use the standard ldap username/password. So resetting the password here may also reset other application passwords as well. Yet some of our application have their own unique way of resetting the password for the application. I am hoping to copy the way that a sys admin usually does this and replicate it using java. Some are command line, other are through the use of a tool used by the application. So far I have been able to replicate most of them using java. I am still working on 1 other. 5 out of 6 not bad. Anyway, we would like to go to one place to reset the password for a user, and then email that temp password to them. Of course we will have some sort of authentication to change the password, such as unique questions they must answer, etc...

Business Objects XI 3.1 using SQL Server 2005 SP3

Hi,
I've searched and googled and can't find a definitive answer to this question: I'm looking to move to BOXI 3.1 and am checking compatibility with our systems. The 3.1 Supported Platforms doc lists SQL Server 2005 RTM/SP1/SP2 as compatible, but I cannot find out whether SP3 is! I assume not, but the Supported Platforms doc is dated before the release of SP3- does anyone know whether SP3 will work and/or the document will be updated?
Thanks for your help!
Tom

Most likely it will work just fine. As supported platforms documents were released prior to SP3 release, they cannot be changed.
With new SP Supported platforms will have MS SQL2005 SP3 record in them.
What this means - product weas not tested with SQL2005 SP3, so we cannot guarantee that there are no issues.

The tables are not listed in table browser (Designer) MS SQL 2005 SP3

Database: SQL 2005 SP3, using ODBC Connection
Database name: Test_7.6_Reporting
Business Objects XI3.1 SP2
When I open the table browser, I see all my databases listed.
If I expand these I see three folders - Information_Schema, dbo and Sys, it doesn't show anything after i expand dbo.
I need to know how to get these tables to show.
Please advice. Thanks!

Hi BK,
This seems odd. All I can think of is that there may be a security issue. Maybe it doesn't register you as dbo. Check into the possible security differences between you and a user who can see those tables under dbo.
Thanks!
Bill

Business Objects is not returning all rows from Query

We set the rowcount to 1000000 and the business objects query only returns 16,960 rows. We then uncheck the limit for the rowcount and the first run of the query returns 65,535. The subsequent run of the query returns all the rows which is greater than 65,535. We are on release 6.1A of business objects and selecting from Microsoft SQLServer 2005 in 2000 compatablility mode. We noticed that the rowcount being sent to SQLServer is replacing the set number with the 65,535 the first time the query is sent and subsiquent queries have the correct rowcount set. What would be causing the rowcount to be reset and how can it be fixed?

CMS is not started, giving up while Insatlling Business Objects XI 3.0

Hi
I am trying to install Business Objects XI 3.0 in Linux. But it is failing at 55% all the time. I checked the log at that time and it is like
*[info] Return code from cmslogon.jar: 1*
*[info] ... waited for 160 seconds ...*
*=== [1249047696] Begin: Execution of Java: -jar "/bobje/BO1/setup/utils/cmslogon/cmslogon.jar" "pokcbsapdb13:6400" Administrator "" secEnterprise*

*[info] ... waited for 170 seconds ...*
and this is repeating till 210 seconds
I have opted for this steps while installing
1. New enterprise install ( enable severs after installation)
2. Default ports
3. Use existing database(oracle).
4. Use existing Java application server, do not deploy web applications.
Please help with your suggestion.

Hi Tim,
I already try installing with MySql and I can see again these messages in my installation log file.
At the moment SAP Support can not give any advice to resolve this problem, do you have any idea why this can be?? and if somebody know anything about the error message that said "method amibiguos" because i believe there is the problem.
These are the resolution sending by SAP, I already try this but still the same.
Symptom
Segmentation fault during the CMS initialization phase of the install
Core file may be created in the <bobje> directory and install will abort
Gdb output of the core file shows the following:
#0 0xf63cdeee in process_next_block () from <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/libWrapCryptoC.so
Reproducing the Issue
1. Launch installation of XIR3 or XIR3.1 on Linux running on AMD Quad Core Opteran chipset
2. Monitor the installation and notice that at approximately 55% during the install the CMS initialization phase will begin
3. CMS initialization will throw a segmentation fault and the installation will abort
Cause
The issue has been identified as a product defect and tracked under ID ADAPT01258674. The defect is in a 3rd party library which is embedded in Business Objects XI3.1 release.
Resolution
Launch the Business Objects XI3.1 installation on Linux.
Wait for the installer to extract the libWrapCryptoC.so file under <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86 directory. This will happen well before the install reaches 55% completion.
While the install is running, and before the CMS initialization begins, replace the libWrapCryptoC.so under the <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86directory with the modified file (see attached).
Let the install continue and you will see the CMS initialize successfully.
The file is uploaded on the SAP site.
Thanks.

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.

Tim

SQL 2005 suppprt for CF 7.02?

Hello,
I'm sure that SQL Server 2005 is supported by CF 7.02 but I
can't find proof on the Adobe site. Is there such a document saying
this is supported on for 7? Our db guy needs this to start the db
upgrade process. We'd also like to know if CF can connect to a
"named instance" of SQL Server.

I haven't had any issues using the SQL Server driver included
with CF7 to access a SQL 2005 server. If you're interested in a SQL
2005 specific driver you can get one from Microsoft.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C 1BA&displaylang=en
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=ded4216b
Note that I think the Adobe article applies to an older
version of the MS JDBC driver so some filenames, paths may be
different.
In my experience the SQL 2000 to 2005 upgrade was painless
however in 2000 the case sensitivity of SQL passwords was based on
the server collation and in 2005 all passwords are case sensitive.

Comparison between Crystal Report Server XI R1, Crystal Report Server XI R1 , Business objects Enterpirse XI R1 and BOXI R2?

Hello Everybody,
I am new to Business Objects Enterprise. I need to know what is differnce between Crystal Report Server XI R1and Crystal Report Server XI R1 ; Business objects Enterpirse XI R1 and BOXI R2?
As a beginner, it will be very much helpful for me to learn in a better way and to go in the right track.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Annapoorani

Annapoorani,
I will start off with the basic difference beteen Crystal Report Server and Business Objects Enterprise. We can continue on after this initial bit of information.
Essentially, Crystal Report Server is a much like a subset of the full Enterprise Product line. Whereas CRS is used for storing and scheduling Crystal Reports, the Enterprise product extends this usability to also include Desktop Intelligence Reports as well as Web Intelligence reports. There are also added features available with the full Enterprise Suite (depending on the licensing and installation) that also provide Performance Management, Dashboards and other enhancements.
In the sence of XI vs XIR2, XIR2 is more up to date with fixes and service packs. You will find the original XI products to be closer to an end of lifecycle when it comes to support.
As well, the newest release not mentioned in your line of questioning is Business Objects XI3.0. Currently this is a java based deployment, but there will be a .NET version forthcoming. Many new features have been added and you can find more information directly at www.businessobjects.com pages. There is a full section on the website that outlines the various products.

Importing Data from MS Access into SQL Serevr 2005 via Linked Server: User-Dependent failure

I am operating an Express version of SQL Server 2005 on a Windows XP machine.
I have successfully setup a linked server to a remote Access (.mdb) database. With my user account (Windows authentication) I can retrieve and store data without any problem.
I have another user (apparently with same settings as my own account) that is always failing to get the data.
The Error message he gets is:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "TSU_Tmp" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\\DSITSO-NT0001\Exchange\Database5.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another
user, or you need permission to view its data.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "TSU_Tmp".
Here below the code used to set up the linked server (coming from the Code Snippets of SQL Server 2005).
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'TSU_Tmp',
@provider = N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = N'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = N'\\DSITSO-NT0001\Exchange\Database5.mdb'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = N'TSU_Tmp',
@useself = N'TRUE',
@locallogin = NULL,
@rmtuser = N'Admin',
@rmtpassword = NULL
We both run the script, actually is a Stored Procedure, (see code below) on the same XP machine where SQL Server is running.
EXEC('INSERT INTO tblFcst
(StartBUCode, StartBUType, StartBUSeq, StartTrz, StartCty,
EndBUCode, EndBUType, EndBUSeq, EndTrz, EndCty,
FcstCreationPeriod, FcstValidForPeriod, Fcst, FcstExternalReference,
IsProcessed, IsSolved)
SELECT TSU.BUCodeSend, TSU.BUTypeSend, TSU.BuaNoSend, Null AS StartTrz, Null AS StartCty,
TSU.BUCodeRcv, TSU.BUTypeRcv, TSU.BuaNoRcv, Null AS EndTrz, Null AS EndCty,
TSU.[Current week], TSU.[Forecast for week], TSU.[Volume trp m3], TSU.[TSU_ID (Don''t touch me)],
0 AS IsProcessed, 0 AS IsSolved
FROM TSU_Tmp...tbl_TSU_trpm3 AS TSU;')
PS: it is run using an 'EXEC(String)' format as at compile time of Store Procedure the Linked Server is not existing and otherwise compile would fail.
We tried it with different files, in different locations. It always wors for me, never for him...
The files were not used by anyone else. The folder(s) where they were stored are open to "Everyone".
So I concluded it should be something linked to the User... :) But I really do not know what, as said apparently we have exactely the same setup in our Login profiles.
Any idea or suggestion is welcome.
Thanks
Luca

Hi Luca Lentati,
According to your description and T-SQL statement, we need to verify if the download and install the Microsoft.Jet.OleDB.4.0 as a provider.
If the 64bit SQL Server is running on the server, The error, the Microsoft.Jet.OleDB.4.0 is not support, I reommend you download and install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 as a provider.
The error 7303 message indicates that the linked server does not have correct login mapping. You can execute the sp_helplinkedsrvlogin stored procedure to set the login information correctly. Also, verify that you have specified the correct parameters
for the linked server configuration.
In addition, if the issue still exists, I recommend you copy the access file to local Server, and create linked server between them , check if it can run well. If yes, it means that
the account which SQL server uses to run the service does not have read/write access to that file share.
There is an article about configuring a Linked Microsoft Access Server on SQL 2005 Server , you can review the following article.
