Creating a new Web Intelligence document using OpenDocument (requires an existing document?)

We use the OpenDocument interface to embed the Web Intelligence viewer in our web application. One of the problems we're having is that the code appears to require a valid document ID, even if all you want to do is create a new document (passing the noDocument=true flag, so that the application opens with no document at all).
I've tried various permutations of the following, with no success, always getting this error message (An error occurred: Could not find the document)
E.g:
http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true...
http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&iDocID=...
http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&iDocID=-1...
http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&iDocID=0...
http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&sDocName=...
http://bo-server:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?noDocument=true&sDocName=new...
It appears the only way to get OpenDocument to allow you to do this is to use an existing WebI document ID. That is to say you can't create a new document unless you already have an existing document to include in the call to the JSP.
This limitation appears to be artificial and only on the OpenDocument interface -- You can create new documents in Launchpad without having an already existing document to point to. Documenting the workaround for this, having people installing the product first make a webi and save it, then configuring it so it has read-only permissions (so it doesn't accidentally get deleted), then configuring our application to lookup the ID isn't the most elegant of experiences.
I was wondering if anyone had run into this before and/or if anyone at SAP could look into it? I'm hoping it's an easy limitation/bug to fix.
This limitation affects 4.1 SP4 and probably older versions of the OpenDocument interface. See also:

Creating a new web server instance using script

Hi
We have to create 10 instances of sun one 6.1 web server again and again. Creating them from GUI and deleting them after testing is going to be a time consuming process. Is there a way to copy an existing instance with the help of some command line tool or shell script (If we know what enteries should be there in each configuration file). Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Anoop

6.1 unfortunately does not provide a way to create instances through command line tool. With 7.0 (soon to be released as Beta in the coming weeks) will have a full fledged command line tool for all server administration tasks
meanwhile, as a temporary work around one could do the following within a shell or perl script.
[ this approach is totally not supported by Sun. You are on your own ]
1. cd INSTALL_ROOT
2. copy https-HOSTNAME to https-test (/bin/cp -Rf https-HOSTNAME https-TEST) - assuming TEST is the new instance name that you want to create.
3. use a script to edit the following files and replace 'https-HOSTNAME' to https-TEST in all occurrences.
list of files to change:
start , stop , reconfig , restart , rotate
config/magnus.conf
config/server.xml
4. finally, you can use 'HttpServerAdmin' to change the listener port, security settings etc
./bin/https/bin/HttpServerAdmin -h
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0130/agcmdln.html
for eg ( i would do something like this )
(to create instance https-TEST from default server instance, assuming you do not have special ACL file configured in the default instance, I would do something like )
use a perl script to copy https-HOSTNAME to https-TEST
(/bin/cp -Rf https-HOSTNAME https-TEST)
/bin/cp httpacl/generated.http-HOSTNAME.acl httpacl/generated.http-TEST.acl
cd https-TEST
replace https-HOSTNAME to https-TEST in following files (start, stop, restart, reconfig, rotate, config/magnus.conf, config/server.xml)
cd ..
now delete the listener socket id
./bin/https-TEST/bin/HttpServerAdmin delete -l -id ls1 -sinst https-TEST -d INSTALL_ROOT (where you server is installed)
followed by create a new listener socket id
./bin/https-TEST/bin/HttpServerAdmin create -l -id ls1 -ip ANY -port NEW_PORT -sname HOSTNAME -defaultvs https-TEST -sinst https-TEST -d INSTALL_ROOT
[ similarly, you can perform other server admin tasks using this command' ]

Can't create new Web Intelligence document

My company is migrating server from BO 5.1.8 to BOXI R2. Migration was fine with the exception of a few issues.
FIrst, no one has the ability to create a new Web Intelligence document in InfoView, not even administrator although permissions are there for Web Intelligence under the BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications on the main screen of the CMC.
Second, when a user attempts to change the parameters for a report, by clicking on the "prompts" link, they are presented with a server error mentioning that the document cannot be opened since it was saved with "Write Reservation Password". Would this password need to be removed in BO 5.1.8 and then the migration redone or can this password be removed post migration?
I appreciate any help or advice. I have three other things I am working on and need to get these things resolved.
thanks

Also, when I have joined this user to Administrators group, then this user was allowed to create a new Web Intellingence document.
Could anybody help me?
Thank you in advance,

Issue while creating a new web part page (Safeunit.aspx) within a folder located under a Document Library.

Hi, I am facing an issue while creating a new web part page (Safeunit.aspx) within a folder (Safematic Seal Support Systems) located under a Document Library (Product Information Documents).
The path I am explaining:
Going to the Document Library (Product Information Documents) --> now inside that, clicking on a folder (Wet Seal Support
Systems) --> now inside the folder clicking on another sub-folder (Safematic Seal Support Systems) --> Here I want the web page Safeunit.aspx
Issue is that when I reach to the required destination, and want to create the web page by clicking on 'Site Action' --> 'Create' --> 'Web Part Page', now while selecting the Document Library name from the drop-down list, I do use 'Product
Information Documents' since the folder is inside this library only; but that create the page directly under the 'Product Information Documents' library, not under the sub-folder (Safematic Seal
Support Systems).
FYI, it is SP2007 version.
Kindly assist in this. Thanks in advance.

I see that you have the namespaces reference in your code.
I think you have changed the NameSpace name of your code to CreateSPFolder, change the reference in all your manifest, and other files to point to the current namespace name. It should help.
Hope this helps!

Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

Hi,
I will create a new web application, i.e named newApp. Then I create a file structure as follows:

To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
Something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
<init-param>...</init-param>
</servlet>
Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

Getting error while creating a new web app saying "The password supplied with the username domainname\username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again"

Hi ,
I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".
I tried running this command also "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password <newpassword>" but when it got executed it showed me "Access Denied".
What should i do ??
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Anurag

HI,
right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

Just don't install the sample schemas. See the installation guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10831/installation.htm
Using the Database Configuration Assistant
When you install Oracle Database with the Oracle Universal Installer, the sample schemas are installed by default if you select the Basic Installation option. Selecting the sample schemas option installs all five schemas (HR, OE, PM, IX, and SH) in the database. If you choose not to install the sample schemas at that time, you can add them later by following the instructions in section "Manually Installing Sample Schemas".
Choose a custom install and don't install the sample schemas.
All other schems/tables installed are REQUIRED by Oracle

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

Hello all,
When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device? I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign.
Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution? With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration? Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

TS1538 I have just purchased an iPhone5 and created a new user instead of using my previous ID. How can I access my previous data?

I have just purchased an iPhone5 and created a new user instead of using my iPhone3 ID. How can I access my previous data?

don't just sign out!
if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

Why I cannot download some apps on my Apple ID ? Because that before I create my new Apple ID , I use my old Apple ID to download instagram but now I use my new Apple ID that cannot download some apps

Why I cannot download some apps on my Apple ID ? Because that before I create my new Apple ID , I use my old Apple ID to download instagram but now I use my new Apple ID that cannot download some apps

What happens when you try to download those apps ? You haven't got an app age restriction set in Settings > General > Restrictions on your iPad ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

Added user as Farm Admin - still can't create a new Web Application

What exactly does it take for someone (assuming through Central Admin) to be able to have enough permissions to create a new Web Application?
I just added one of our developers as a Farm Admin, and the 'New' button is disabled for him, so he can't create a new Web Application.

As I mentioned in my post. To create a Web Application you need to be both a Farm Administrator and a local administrator on the server. You said he was a farm admin. Was he also a server admin on the server?
