Error when refreshing WEBI report with Universe Connection Type "SSO"

Hi Experts:
We are trying to refresh the Webi report in Infoview with Universe Connection set as "Use Single Sign On when refreshing the report at view time", so that we can leverage SAP OLAP authorization variable from Bex Query which the Universe is built on.
However got the error of "incomplete logon data" after all the configurations done following below blogs:
SNC Part 1
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2
SNC Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-2-of-2
We already have Win AD SSO to SAP setup, and in BO CMC, Win AD user is mapped to SAP user ID.
The SNC settings are:
- AD Account: service.test.bobj (all lower-letters)
- 32-bit gsslib on the BO server, and 64 bit on the BW server side.
- SNC0: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SU01 --> BO_Service ; SNC: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- Entitlement system tab --> username: BO_Service
SNC Name: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SNC settings tab:
SNC Lib: c:\winnt\gsskrb5.dll
Mutual Authentication settings: p:SAPServiceBP0 at DOMAIN
In CMC, the role can be imported if "RFC activated" option unchecked in SNC0.
I found a few threads on the same topic, but they are all not answered:
SNC Client side configuration error
SNC Configuration Error: Incomplete logon Data
Can you please provide details of the solution if you have impleted a same scenario successsfully, or any thoughts to help the investigation?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, we are trying to set up server side trust and enable SSO; but we still couldn't success.
What we did is:
1. We followed installation guide chapter 6, generate certificate and PSE, etc. All looks good.
2. Then we still have the "incomplete logon data" error when refreshing webi report after logon using Windows AD user ID.
3. Then we trace the PFC connection, the log is as below. We checked several BO notes, e.g. 1500150, 1461247.. The part bothers us is that we even don't have URI displayed in the log when system trying to use SNC, and we couldn't get more info on this which make us very difficult to diagnosis.
Can you please help? Thanks a lot!

Refresh Webi report with merged cells in crosstab in PowerPoint

Hello,
I have created a Webi report with a crosstab. In this crosstab I have merged some cells in the top left corner and inserted a title for the crosstab. Now I want to import the crosstab in PowerPoint with Live Office. The problem is, that after the import in PowerPoint the cells are not merged anymore. So I merged them manually. When I refresh the crosstab, the cells are still merged in PowerPoint, but they are empty.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Invalid Year error when refreshing the report with date prompt

Hi All,
I am working on BO XI 3.1 with Informix database.
When refreshing the report without any date prompt the report is running fine,but when applying the date prompt it is giving the error message
"Invalid year in the date".
I have tried changing the value in the advance tab of the object property to 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'
But it also din't work for me.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Rishabh

Hi Experts,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Since changing the PRM file was not a fesiable solution for us.
We have manged to find a work around to solve this issue
We have created the filters at universe level with following formula for all the date objects which we ere using at report level as a prompt:
@Select(classname\objectname)=TO_DATE(@Prompt('Enter Date:','D',,mono,free,not_persistent), '%Y/%m/%d')
Although when we parse this formula it wil give an error message saying 'illigle operation',
still it will work when we use this at report level.
Thanks and Regards,
Rishabh

Cannot display Crystal Report with ActiveX Viewer

I am using SmartViewerActivex.asp in a classic ASP website to display Crystal Reports and the report will not load.
I get a blank grey screen with only the toolbar showing but able to export out with data intact.
I am using CR9, running in Windows Server 2012 R2 IIS 8.5.
I've already spent about 2 weeks and have not found an answer. Please HELP!

Unfortunately, no help available. I suspect when CR 9 released in 2002, Win Server 2012 was not even a twinkle in Bill's eye. E.g.; you are looking for CR 9 to be 10+ years forward compatible. In other words, it is not supported on WIN server 2012.
Possible option is to upgrade to CR XI R2 (v. 11.5). There you have a weak prayer and hope. With luck it may work. Note that CR XI r2 was the last version of CR to include the AcitiveX viewer. And CR XI R2 has been out of support for over 2 years now.
Best bet: CR SDK for VS .NET or CR SDK for Java. This would mean a new app...

Unknown error when executing MDX when refreshing Crystal Report with BEx

Hello Experts,
I have created a Crystal Report (Crystal 2008 SP1) with BEx Query (7.10) and have been able to refresh successfully when the SAP_ALL authorization is included in my user role. I don't want my end users to have SAP_ALL so I created a role and assigned the authorizations recommended in the SAP Integration Kit for BusinessObjects 3.1 Install Guide.
When I run the report as one of the users assigned to my new role I get the following error in the trace file.
ERROR: .\crdb_bwmdx_execution.cpp [200]: l_bapiGetStreamInfo failed with return code RFC_RC = 0 Exception: BAPI Error: BAPI Error #:0
Unknown error when executing MDX
2188     6556     Caught DbError #1 with Message 'BAPI Error #:0
Unknown error when executing MDX'
2188     6556     Caught DbError #1 with Message 'BAPI Error #:0
Unknown error when executing MDX'
2188     6556     Caught DbError #1 with Message 'BAPI Error #:0
Unknown error when executing MDX'
I tried all the Fix Packs (ie 1.1., 1.2 and 1.3) for XI 3.1 Integration Kit to try resolving the error but it didn't work.
The same query works fine in BEx Web when running as one of the users in the new role I created for Crystal Report users.
Are there any other Authorizations that I need to include in the role?
Cheers.
Paul.

We have been able to identify what causes the MDX driver to error and I will explain what we are trying to implement with the hierarchies.
Firstly, we are creating reports of the HR cube Mutliprovider using the SAP MDX Driver which works well when there are no authorization analysis set on the cube. But with the authorization analysis set for on 0ORGUNIT for BEx Explorer Crystal returns the MDX error.
Each of the Business Unit managers are assigned to an Organization Unit that will be used to restrict the employees that will be reported. To restrict the Managers to only see their Org Unit we have set the 0ORGUNIT object to use authorization ananlysis and a custom authorization variable to return only data for the Org Unit they belong too.
In Crystal this works well when a manager has an Org Unit that is a head department of other Org Units. This scenario will give Crystal the NodeID and Parent NodeID to create the hierarchies in the report. But when a manager does not have any other Org Units beneath there own department then Crystal doesn't have a Parent NodeID to create the Hierarchies with the NodeID. In the RFC trace I can see an error when Crystal is trying to get the Parent NodeID but the user is not authorized to that Org Unit then it throws the error.
We have got a temporary workaround which is to create the managers a dummy Org Unit below their own department. The workaround will do for now but shouldn't the MDX driver be able to recognise that it has returned the last level in the Org Unit Hierarchy and not return an error?
The customer is looking for a product fix as they believe this should be handled by the driver. Is this a bug or a limitation of the product?

Issue in Infoview while refreshing DeskI report with prompts

Hi all,
When I tried to refresh a WebI report whose Data Source is Universe, which is having some prompts, the prompt window was displaying the prompt values that were used to run the report earlier. Similarly when I tried to refresh a few DeskI reports whose Data Sources are free hand sql/ Universe -> Customized SQL which were also having prompts, the prompt window is not showing me prompt values (especially prompts with texts) that were used to run the report earlier.
Now my issue is how to display the prompt values that were used in the prompts earlier while refreshing for DeskI (Data Source: Free hand SQl/Universe -> Customized SQL) Reports
Any help is highly aprreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
Noticed you still have no answer.
For Deski prompts, only the last value selected is 'remembered', same for freehand as for a universe query.
It does get 'erased' however when you purge the data or when you select a 'wrong' value resulting in no data.
This is the basic difference, webi will remember even though you purged
(you can specifically purge those to if you want to), so not the freehand sql.
It is possible however to use the @prompt() syntax and pre-build the possible list of values if the list is not too big.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Caching report with RAS SDK

I have an application that runs reports using the RAS SDK in BO Enterprise XIr2. The application uses RAS to retrieve the report from BO XI and manipulates the report be changing the database connection information (ODBC DSN name, user name, and password). It also changes the parameters of the report dynamically and then displayes it within a web page using the .NET Report Viewer control.
My problem is that the Cache Server never seems to cache any of the reports. The settings for the cache server are set high so it should still be in cache. Clicking on the next and previous page buttons will always rerun the entire report. Are there configuration settings I am missing? Should the code be doing something in order to handle the next and previous buttons? Just looking for pointers on where to continue my exploration of this problem.
Thanks

The Report Application Server does its own caching internally.
The Crystal Report Cache Server caches for the Crystal Report Page Server.
Specific to your issue, are you caching the ReportObject in HTTP Session, and retrieving it on postback? Or are you opening a new ReportClientDocument each time? That sounds like not a server-side caching issue, but application side caching issue.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Error while refreshing a report using local csv file

Hi,
I'm using BI 4.1 SP02.
While using Rich client, I've created a report with some merged queries, while one of the queries is a local CSV file - saved on AD in some server, and not on the repository inside BO.
While trying to refresh the report with the Rich client, it all went great.
Now, while using BI Launchpad java based app, I can't refresh the report - I get the following error:
"An Internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270) (WIS 30270)"
Should I be able to refresh a report without the Rich if it contains a local file (which is possible to EDIT only with rich) ?
If so, then did someone ran into this error?
Thank you,
Or.

First of all, thanks for both of the replies.
Second,
my problem is unlikely have to do something with permissions from one reasons -
when the report is using XLS\XLSX on same folder(with same name prefix) - the report is running without any problem.
Only problem is while refreshing without Rich while the source is network CSV file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Unable to refresh a report in P21 Activant

We recently upgraded our Activant P21 (Prophet 21) software which includes Crystal Reports. Standard P21 canned reports in their software can be viewed, exported and printed. The P21 software includes a feature to create and link custom reports. We create the custom reports with Crystal Reports 2008 and set up the external report links. We can open, view, print and export the custom reports but when we refresh the report with or without an input parameters, we are prompted for a "Database Login" password. When we enter our password, an error message titled "Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer" states "Logon Failed. Please try again". We have contacted Activant about this issue and they do not find any errors in the set up. They have told us there is probably an issue with Crystal Reports and asked us to contact your company. We have also contacted a friendly competitor who uses the same Activant P21 software and create custom reports with Crystal Reports 2008 which include user input parameters. Their custom reports work without a glitch. What would prevent us from refreshing a custom Crystal report?

Hi Don,
Activant P21 is insisting our issue is a Crystal problem. We are unable to refresh the reports inside their software. We have tried every user id and password we know and it still will not refresh our CR report.
When we use CR2008 to refresh a report, a window opens titled "OLE DB (ADO)" and asks to choose a data source "ODBC Data Source....Choose a data source from the list" We select our ODBC DSN: P21 Live and click next. Another window opens titled "OLD DB (ADO) asking for a password "Connection Information...Provide necessary information to log on to the chosen data source." At this point it does not matter what "User ID" or "Password" we use, the report will refresh. We have used the Adminstrator with a password, we used my user name and password and we used the administrator without a password and in all three instances, the report refreshed with the correct data.
I don't see how this is a Crystal problem unless there is something I am missing. Any help you can provide will be deeply appreciated.

Failed to Refresh Dynamic Report

Hi Gurus,
I'm having issue refreshing a report with dynamic selection of entities.
There are no error message but it just didn't list out all the entity I've selected.
The same report has no issue listing out the entities in 2 other computers which I've tested.
The only difference between the 2 computers and my computer is the 2 computers are on EPM 10 SP14 while mine is on SP16.
I've checked all the Sheet options, Context options and User Options between the pc and they are all similar.
I've attached the errors which are extracted from the Log option.
We are all using BPC 10 MS version.
Please advise. Thanks!

Hi,
I guess the problem is with your connection.
As you say that the other universes work fine, try to import the universe which is not, and then
edit the connection till the finish button. Save and export, and try the reports again.
If this does not work, try to create a new connection, and save and export the universe.
Otherwise you can copy paste the objects and the universe structure into a new universe, and edit the report to point to the new universe, and try again.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

How to share a parameterized and refreshable report with my colleagues

I usually send monthly reports to 2 or 3 of my colleagues by email. Now I am thinking to use crystalreports.com to publish and share the reports. Which way is better to share the parameterized reports and also make them refreshable (updated), ODC or salesforce? How to allow the online reports to access our Oracle database when users view them? I am new to crystal reports, any suggestions will be appreciated!

Hello,
Currently, the ODC is only supported on Windows / IIS. We were working on a linux version, but it has been put on hold due to other priorities. I don't believe we have an estimation for when it may be released.
You do need the crystal reports db drivers on the same IIS machine. I am not sure if this means you need a full install of crystal reports or just the sdk or what. But yes, you do need at least a portion of the crystal reports install on the IIS machine.
Inside the desktop publisher, you can create a task which represents a scheduled report on your local machine. When you create the task, you will be prompted to select the report on your local machine and where you want it to go in cr.com along with when you want it to run (now, once, daily, weekly, etc). When you save the task, it will figure out if any parameter prompts or db logon prompts are needed and actually prompt you for those right there. The values you enter will be saved into the task and used when the task actually runs. At run time, the task will refresh the report based on the prompt values you entered and upload the refreshed copy to cr.com as a saved data report.
If you have registered for a starter account on the website, you can download and try out the desktop publisher and see if it meets your needs.
Cheers
Steve
