Connecting to a database through Business View Manager

Hi,
I am connecting to various application databases (Oracle) using the Business View Manager. When does the connection between my Business View Manager Data Connection and my application database gets "released"? If I have scheduled, say a report to run every 0800 hrs, does the connection cease after the report run has completed?

I can't tell from your post if you're concerned about db connections being left open too long or if you want them to remain open for use by other documents. But there is a setting on the CRProcessingServer called "Allow Report Jobs to Stay Connected to the Database until the Report Job is Closed" which helps control this. Default is unchecked. However, I believe a report job when scheduled closes the db connection at the end as part of its closing steps. It's possible you are seeing a connection left open until the jobtimeout triggers (which is another setting in the CMC on the same CRprocserver page).
You may want to monitor the database while scheduling a new report to see the session open. And then watch it after the scheduled job finishes to see how long it takes to close out.

Issue with creating List of Values in Business View Manager

Hi,
Could any one help me to figure out what this issue refers to?
When i created a List of Values in Business View Manager, it is throwing the following error!!!!
The List of Values used by this parameter cannot be based on a Business View derived from the current Data Foundation or Business Element.
Prior to creating LoV, i've done successfully with creating Data connection, Data foundation, Business element and Business View..
Thanks
Viswa

Hi Visaw,
Firstly,
-->Open Repository Explorer,
-->where you are have related DF,DC,BV,BEand LOV's
-->Right click on LOV's -->There you can find Schedule list of values.Then schedule list of values and check if it prompts for errors.
If you face the same problem, what is the error you are getting.
Else try to use the LOV's and proceed further.
-->Check whether the LOV's are pointing to the same Business View and check the Business view pointing to the same Datafoundation.
If you are facing the same problem then try with the below steps:
-->Try to Create a report at designer level Using then Business view
-->Create two new parameters and select the existing parameters(LOV parameter's)
-->Check whether it is working.
-->If you face the same problem ,Update the connection of Business view manager.
Go to Database tab-->Select Set DataSource location and update it with current Businessview Manager.
Try this ,and let us know.

Using a data source configured in Business View Manager?

Post Author: Rob
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,We're using Crystal Enterprise 10 service pack 6 on Server 2003 and I'm having a bit of a problem (surprise)! I've configured a data source in Business View Manager with the intention of the users not having to enter a password for the data source in a report. However, the data source has been stored in the repository but is not visible anywhere within Crystal Reports or the Enterprise web site at all. Any pointers as to the usage of said data source would be gratefully received!Thanks in advance,Rob

You created a datasource connection in the BV Manger and then what?Did you make the corresponding Data Foundation, Business Element, and Business View?You can only report off the business view not a datasource.

Dear Laura,
I mean first variant where the database would be the same:
scott/tiger@database1
foo/bar@database1
Of course I understand that we must register every user in database by "CREATE USER XXX" and it is unacceptable for Internet. But it may be very convenient for an Intranet because we can build access restriction based on set of views without any changes in applications.

SAP BW MDX Query - Business view manager

Hi,
i want to create a list of values in business view manager based on a BEx Query.
But after creating a connection to the BW System, i am not able to get any query shown (no items found).
Configuration:
SAP BW 7.31 SP5
BO 4.0 SP7
Any ideas? maybe a specific bw transport?
Regards,
Zaki

If, after making sure that you have the correct transports installed, you still can't get this to show up in BVM, you could try this:
1. Create a report that contains just the data that you want to show in the prompt.
2. Create a dynamic prompt in the report to show the data that you want to use.
3. Publish the report to your Favorites folder in BO, making sure to turn on the option to save repository objects.
This will automatically create the LOV and its supporting objects in BVM. You should then be able to edit them as necessary to set up the automatic login for the connection and anything else you need to do.

Updating databae password in Business view manager and CMC

Hi All ,
We are carrying out a step of changing the database password on which the Infoview reports run.Currently the solution i know is to log on to Business View manager and change the password manually for each promopt. similarly i have to log on to CMC and go to report >Process>Database and enter the new password.
We have 85 reports and their corresponding promopts. So we have to manually enter the password upto 150 times.
Could you you please advise on a more efficient way to change the password.
Thanks.

Error creating LOV in Business View Manager - cannot be based on current DF

Hi,
I'm trying to use Business View Manager for the first time. I'm trying to create a dynamic, cascading prompt to be used by Crystal Reports.
I've been able to create:
- data connection
- data foundation - simple one table
- business elements - two columns from the table
- business view
- List of Values
I am now trying to create a parameter in the Business Elements tool. The parameter needs to be a Dynamic, Cascading parameter.
When I try to save the new parameter, I get the follow error:
The List of Values used by this parameter cannot be based on a Business View derived from the current Data Foundation or Business Element.
HELP
Thanks

Hi Chris
If you are trying to create a LOV and use that as a parameter, then you need to create LOV as Dynamic Cascading values. Once created then you can use that LOV in the Crystal Reports.
This is the best way to get dynamic cascading prompts in Crystal reports.
Please refer to Business View Admin guide for more information.
Hope this helps!!

How to find required information in order to log on Business View Manager?

After Business Object Client installation successfully, I try to log on Business View Manager, but failed. One pop-up windows(Log on BusinessObjects Enterprise) come and let me put the information as below;
System:
User name:
Password:

Could anyone let me know how to find the above required information? Thanks!

You need to find this information from a person who installed server part of this deployment.
System: Name of the CMS server
User name: Administrator or other user name that exist in the Enterprise
Password: obviously...
Authentication: type of the authentication setup on the server side for the user you will be using.

LOVs in Business View Manager

Hi All,
I know the implementation of dynamic cascading parameters using list of values in Crystal XI.
But i need some information regarding Business View Manager.
Country > Region > City - This is my desired cascading parameter. For creating this parameter, what should be my data foundation?
Select country,region,city from customer
Can i use this query in my data foundation? I think this will duplicate the values inside country and region...
Please help me in this issue....

Can i connect to the database through the internet

hi all
i installed a database oracle 8i enterprise edition on a pc that exists in a town far from me . i wonder can i connect to this database through the internet from my house
please i need a answer
thanks in advance

You can connect from an Oracle client to any Oracle database in the world that meets certain requirements.
First you need an open network connection between the two points so either no firewall exists between the two stations or the firewall(s) have been configured to allow Oranet traffic. This means both databases must have access to the Internet and certain ports are open.
Second you will need the IP address and port for the remote listener, which in turn must be up and running on the target server.
Then you must have the Service Name or SID and a valid username/password combination for the target database. Plus the username must have create session privilege.
That should be about it.
