Answer 1

Hello Gokul,
If using Citrix:
Database Connectivity will have impact on the reports.
Need to activate the database connection on the Citrix server.
If using Stored Procedures:
Workaround 1:
Just put SET NOCOUNT ON parameter before the select statement and put SET NOCOUNT OFF parameter in the end of the stored procedure. After that run the stored procedure in the Desktop Intelligence report.
Workaround 2:
-You have to add the given parameter in ".sbo "file -> save the file and run the stored Procedure.
This file should be located under <drive>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 6\dataAccess\RDBMS\connectionServer\odbc\odbc.sbo
<Defaults>
<Parameter Name="Force SQLExecute">Always</Parameter>
Another possibility:
When doing the custom installation, make sure that the Samples section is selected for installation.
This downloads the appropriate database and configures the driver under Control Panel > Administrative Tools > ODBC Data Source Administrator > System DSN.
Alternatively, the sample database can be manually copied to the client and the driver manually configured.
The Universe might not be on the server.
Another possiblity:
Perform the following steps:
Check the Oracle client installation version (for example, 9i).
Locate the Oracle client installation path (for example, c:\oracle\ora90).
Open the DOS command prompt by clicking Start > Run and typing "cmd".
Test the following command:
TNSPING <Database Name>
Check the System Path for Oracle client (for example C:\oracle\ora90\bin).
Check the TNSNAMES.ora and SQLNET.ora files. In this case, the SQLNET.ora file did not exist so it was copies to C:\oracle\ora90\network\admin.
Restart the machine.
Hope this has been helpful,
