Dashboard with Webi Report link  - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a  dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for
"Web Service Query"
Regards,

  • Xcelsius SWF with QaaWS through SSL: Cannot access external data

    I am getting the following error while loading Xcelsius Dashboard in https mode.
    Error: Error #2170, Cannot Access External Data
    Connection Type: Query as a Web Service
    To access external data, add a cross-domain policy file to the external data web server.
    The same dashboard is working on the following conditions:
    1)     In http mode(both from a hosted website and from a clarity portlet)
    2)     When I click preview from Xcelsius designer.
    3)     When I run the .swf file directly.
    The error is coming only when I host the swf file into a website (or running from a clarity portlet).
    I am using the following cross-domain-policy file.
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">

    Hi
    I am facing the #2032 Error while running the Dashboard in portal developed using SAP Netweaver BW connection.
    Scenario:
      1>Actually our dashboard changes as fiscal year or budget type changes,so we have set trigger for the queries.
      2>for 3-4 trigger times the dashboard changes as required without any error but after that when we change fiscal year or budget type it shows the following error:
    Error:"Cannot Access External Data"
    { The BICS Remote web Service could not process your request.Open a CSN message on component BW-BEX-ET-XC and attach the technical details of the error from the following link:
    http://sgsgsav0s2006:5000/bicsremotedebug?geterrorticket=KSF-1324043982210(this link changes each time the error pops up}
    This error will popup and then the dashboard randomly displays data for some queries and for some it does not pull data.
    After reloading the dashboard it runs fine for 3-4 times after that it again shows the error.This happens for 4-5 times then dashboard stucks at Initializing Screen for 10 mins then #2032 error comes.Then we restart our developement portal and the Dashboard runs fine for some time.
    This happens even while triggering 4 queries.

  • Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information.

    Hi All,
    In my dashboard there are live office connections which has optional prompts defined in SAP BI. I have bound the cells to these prompts in live office object properties.
    There are no errors while refreshing the LO connections from excel sheet.
    But when i run that dashboard and give BLANK value for that prompt then it throws the error :
    Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315).
    Reply highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    DJ

    Hi Hardik,
    I am building a similar solution as yours connecting webi reports to Bex queries and reading the webi data through live office into the dashboards. I am using almost similar versions as yours - BW 7.1 SP5, BO 4.1 SP4, Dashboards and Live Office SP4 versions. I am facing issues setting up the live office connections itself. I create the Live office connections within an excel and when I try to import this excel spreadsheet into my dashboard designer, it runs forever and crashes.
    Could you please list out the steps you performed to get the Dashboard to preview live office data? Do you have OLAP connections for BW cubes and created WebI reports using these connections or You created a Universe on top of the Bex Queries?
    It would be great if you could share the steps performed.
    With respect to your issue, check if the report engine service is running. Do you have any error message details apart from this error?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Rohini.

  • Cannot access external data - xcelsius

    Hi All,
    We are currently building QAAWS connections based on the existing webI reports and universes (BO 4.1 SP2 & Dashboard Designer). However, while executing the dashboards on iPad we are getting an error message "cannot access external data". Please confirm if QAAWS is supported on iPads or not. If not, is there any SCN official PAM / document for the same. And, what is the workaround or alternative to QAAWS, since re-mapping is required for the existing dashboards as well.
    Best Regards,
    Sameer

    Hi Shwetha,
    Thanks for the needed details.
    I have gone through the SCN note 1970047 which talks about user id / pass should be hardcoded within your dashboard for QAAWS. However, I am still getting an error "Cannot Access External Data: Failed while trying to log on user Sameer. RFC error: Number:000 (USER_OR_PASSWORD_INCORRECT)" EVEN if I provide my enterprise credentials and click on preview. The same credentials works for me on BI Launchpad (same web server URL).
    Is there any permanent solution / alternate to this issue? We do have a generic enterprise ID, but I should not get the above mentioned error anytime.
    Best Regards,
    Sameer Sachdeva

  • PDF Export - Cannot Access External Data

    I've exported a simple live office enabled dashboard to PDF and stored this locally on my pc.  When I open the file and change a dropdown value (which forces a refresh of the LiveOffice content), I get the following message before I get any BOBJ login screen:
    To access external data this file must be trusted.  For a PDF file, in Adobe Reader, click Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)...
    Almost helpful, doesn't tell me what to do when I get there, however, I've added the File, the Folder Path, and the Host to the  Privileged Locations box, but I still get the error message.  What else should I be doing?
    Exporting the same dashboard to PowerPoint file stored locally, and adding POWERPNT.EXE to the Flash Security settings, I can successfully login and refresh the dashboard.
    Thanks

    System: BOBJ XI 3.1 SP2 FP5 and Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP1, Adobe Reader 9.3.1

    This is because of the Flash Cross Domain policy, make sure you have the file in the root of your BusinessObjects server. Here are some useful links  http://tinyurl.com/6j7osn   |  http://tinyurl.com/2dfdov6

  • Dashboard with QaaWS - cannot access external data

    Hi all,
    I built a dashboard with 3 qaaws, all based on one universe which is base on one bw-query.
    All works fine for the group: Administrators.
    If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group, i get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
    Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control on the QaaWS, the Universe, the Connection and the Dashboard itself, it does not work.
    We use BO 4.0 SP01 FP11.
    As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Regards Karin

    Sergey,
    Considering you have sufficient rights, use fiddler tool to ensure as to why you are getting the error.
    If it is not a rights issue then you need to check if you have crossdomain file deployed.
    For using fiddler:
    Go to fiddler2.com
    Get Fiddler downloaded and installed
    Run Fiddler
    Launch your dashboard
    In Fiddler, on left hand side panel you should see HTTP traffic happened between you server and the dashboard.
    Go through captured HTTP traffic to find where exactly we are facing the issue.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Web Analyzer - ability to access external data sources?

    Documentation on help.sap.com for the 2004s Web Analyzer notes it can render queries, query views, infoproviders, and <b>external data sources</b> for ad-hoc analysis in the standardized reporting template.
    Can anyone clarify exactly what constitutes external data?  To my knowledge, I didn't think it was possible to report on something outside of the BI instance (let's say an Oracle table on another server, for example).
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Scott,
    in the Web Analyzer you can use external OLAP data sources(ODBO or XMLA) . Relational data sources are not supported in NW2004s.
    You can set this up in the portal system landscape.
    Please have a look on
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/8e/020597f9b4486492e69283fab424fa/frameset.htm
    and
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/8e/020597f9b4486492e69283fab424fa/frameset.htm
    Depending on the data source different capabilities are supported, so that some options are only available when you are using the BI OLAP Processor and won't be supported when using external data sources.

  • What is the right sdk api to work with webi reports in BOXI Release 4?

    Hello,
    I just read in the omg model for rebean (sdk for working with webi report documents) that all functions to access the report structur and layout are no longer availabe beginning with Release 4.
    Can anyone confirm, that this is the case?
    Are those functions moved to a different SDK component?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bernd
    Dokumentation about rebean _omd
    u2022 The object model shows many funtions , classes in red which means:
    Note: The Classes, Interfaces, and Methods marked in red are no longer functional from the SAP
    BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.0 release onwards.
    u2022 Among those functions are all !! We need to analyze the report layout
    u2022 No longer supported: DocumentInstance.getDictionary() , DocumentInstance.getOpenDocumentInfo(), DocumentInstance.getResourceManager(), DocumentInstance.getStructure()
    u2022 Classes no longer supported: ReportElement, ReportDictionary, Query, QuerySorts, DataSourceObject(s), SQLDataProvider,QueryNode, DPExpression, QueryContainer, Link,
    u2022 Classes no longet supported: ReportBody, ReportContainer, ReportStructure, ReportBlock, Graph, *Table
    u2022 Classes no longer supported: Cell, PageHeaderFooter

    Thank you for the information srrachna !
    Well, the point with the report engine sdk is a surprise. What is the sense of new functionality when you cannot use it (spoken for the api processing), and in addition when the new functionality eliminate functionality which was available before in the sdk.
    In my view this cut is to hard. The .pdf speaks from deprecated, but the blog and the information in the report engine api speaks a different language. The functionality is not just deprecated but no longer available.
    Hope SAP will address that before relase 4 becomes GA in May 2011.

  • My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive.  The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data.  Is there any way to resolve this?

    My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive.  The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data.  Is there any way to resolve this?

    WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
    For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
    What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
    Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625800.aspx

    Hi,
    Can you please elaborate whether the data you are getting is from excel file or from database.
    1. If you are populating it from excel , then you can use the Excel service, Power pivot etc mechanism.
    2. If you are getting it from SQL database then you can use BCS service application and use the OOTB external list and content type to display the same in your home page.
