Disable designbutton in webi reports BO 4.1

Hello!
I want to disable the design button in webi reports for everyone except a small group.
The problem I have is that if I disable the "Application mode buttons" for the group "Everyone" the button also is disabled for the group should be able to see it.
Are there anyway to disable this button for everyone except for a specific group?

Hi Carly
That would solve the problem at the moment.
But if new users log in with AD authentication their user is created and put into a AD domain group it will work as long as no new groups are introduced in our AD domain.
So I guess that I could do like that, I only need to remember to change this on a new group when it is created.
And I was hoping there was a solution where I could say that a single group would take precedence over the "Everyone" group as there are quite a few groups to do this on

Disabling Cache for a webi report

Hello,
We have BO 4.1 SP1 system. We have a webi report based on bw- bex. That bex is connected to a table in R3 that momentarily updates itself. So, we are supposed have a report connected to live data. (bex query cache is already disabled on bw)
The problem is, by the data changes, the webi report fails to catch the new data in time. The bex query it is connected, almost momentarily updates itself, however, webi does not. The goal is to make the webi report's result data to match the bex query result as the table in R3 updates.
To achieve that, we created a server group in CMC, named it "no-cache" and put some cloned servers with supposed no cache holding properties. (The screenshot of the servers are attached.) We scheduled the webi report in every 5 minutes, allowing only the no cache servers to be used. However, it is still reported that the webi report does not match the bex from time to time.
Am I missing some server cache configuration? Or is a real-time data webi report not possible?
Thank you

Also, the third screen shot for the server properties is as below.
Thank you again.

I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

How to disable refresh button in webi reports in BOXI3.1SP2-Java SDK

Hi all,
We have integrated Java with BO, here end users will give parameters through java screen. After submitting all the parameters webi reports will opens in separate window.
Here requirement is end users should pass the parameters from java screen and they should able to save the report in to excel/PDF.
Refresh/edit buttons should disable/hide in the webi report.
below is the sample url we are using in the java.
http://" + CMS + ":8080/ OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?"+ "iDocID=" +ReportID + "&sType=wid&sRefresh=N&sWindow=New&lsSEnter List Name: =+List&token=" + token
we tried with using &buttonrefresh=hide in above URL.
Note: We are also having hyperlink reports in the Webi.
Please provide me inputs to disable refresh button.
Thanks,
Subash

Hi,
why do not set this over the authorization scheme? Just deny your users the right to refresh/edit the report.

How to disable drill option for one column in the WebI Report

Hi,
How to disable drill option in a column in WebI?
When the Drill option is enabled by default all the column in the report will have that enabled,
I ahve added Hierarchy in the Custom hierarhcy list in Universe.
I am using BOXI3.1 WebI Reports.
But I wanted only the hierarchy column to have that drill option enabled, rest all column should display text data.
PLease let me know if you have any idea.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Cretae the variable at the report level (may be with the same definiton) and then use that variable in the table
to disable the drill. It will be displayed as normal text object.
Drill functionality is enabled only on the objetcs coming from the universe.

Rohit

Data of measure is not seen in webi report when drill is disabled

Hi
i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
the problem is that i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
the object on which im drilling is set as a section in the report
so i have added a measure in the table under that section
now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different measure
for all other level of drilling
every thing is working fine but the problem is
when i open report in view mode
the measure data is not seen
only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
i have done something like thi
i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

Webi report gives old data in infoview on refresh

Hi Experts,
We are facing this strange issue on a webi report after some data updation in the SAP BW infocube.
The webi report is based on the universe which is connected to an infocube in our BW dev system. After some data updation in the cube, we had tested the report in webi rich client and everything was working fine (the newly updated data from cube was reflecting). Now, we had tested the same report in infoview, but it was showing the old data only. We had tried exporting the report once again to infoview, refreshed universe structure; but without any success.
What appeared to be even more strange was that the last refresh time was also not changing. While running the report in the infoview it hardly takes 40secs. But on refreshing it says the last refresh time was 5mins.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Arun.

it sounds like when you refresh report in Infoview you get the cached data, it never goes to the DB to fetch new one...
You'll need to enable traces on webi processing server as well as SOFA/MDX tracing and review log files to see if requests are going to db or not and what is being returned.
It could be at webi proc level or at your BW level.
You can also try disabling webi caching in webi proc server properties and see what happens.

Scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL.

Our customer found when they scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL, it will cost much more time than usual after they have their SIA restarts.
The first time it takes 4-5 times longer to receive a report in mailbox than next time onwards.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Hi Abishek,
If the schedule is taking 4-5 times longer to schedule following the SIA restart I suppose it is possible that the Webi Job Server and Webi Processing Servers are not fully registered with the CMS - can you check that.
Also can you test by ensuring that if there are any Webi Job Servers\Webi Processing Servers in the environment which are stopped\disabled, can you retest after deleting those servers. There is a bug with XI3.1:
ADAPT01371367
Description:
Scheduled jobs often have a delay when the system is upgraded to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP 2.2 or FP 2.3.This problem also happens when some of the servers required for scheduling are stopped and disabled. In this case, the Adaptive Job Server (AJS) tries to confirm if all available Webi Report Servers are running, and this causes the delay in running the scheduled jobs.
New Behavior:
This problem has been resolved.
Do you have a test system where you could install FP3.1 and check the fix?
The only "workaround" I could suggest would be to ensure that all services needed for the schedule are running\enabled (Adaptive Job Servers and Webi Processing Servers). This will stop the Adaptive Job Server from its continual querying for those servers. The adverse effect of this is that the more unnecessary services which are running will necessitate increased network communication.
To check if this is the actual issue you are hitting, you would need to trace the schedule and check for messages like this in the logs:
[2010-08-27 12:02:08,769] [TID:24] [ERROR] [webi.PublishingHelper.<init>():89]: unable to retrieve all mandatories servers to proceed this job
Alternatively, log a message with SAP Support for further investigation.

How to deactivate the context menu for data cells in web reports

Hello,
we would like to have the data cells (for example: values in euro) without context menu. I mean, right now, when users navigate in web reports and stop with a mouse over the data cell, text like "Context menu for 5.000 Highlighted" appears. Especially users don't want to see the exception cells with this information like
"Context menu for 6.000 critical 4".
Is it possible to deactivate this context info?
Thanks and Regards,
Nuran Adal
Message was edited by: Nuran Adal

Hello Nuran,
I guess you want to disable the Tooltip and not the ContextMenu. Anyway, use the table interface for it.
Have a look at paramter C_CELL_CONTENT
In Method DATA_CELL.
This one contains strings like:
30,0
Rebuild this String to:
30,0
Kind Regards,

Multiple access level Webi Reports

Hi,
We have Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.4. Our problem is that we want to asign to the same user diferent levels of visualization for a webi report, but if we asign the security at application level (WebIntelligence) the access levels applies for all reports and if we assign the access level at folder level it doesn´t applied to the visualization of the report. Basically we want that a user see a WebiReport without refresh the data and the same user saw a diferent report in a diferent folder with the capability to do this action.
Is this possible??
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I apologize for not replying earlier. I tried to reproduce what you mentioned. InfoView kept crashing on my end when I disable right-click.
In any case, you mentioned that disabling right-click only works when applied on on the application level (for Webi). We can work with this itself.
Again, for sake of simplicity, lets assume that we have only two access levels.
1. Right_Click_Disabled
2. Toolbar_Disabled
Also, lets assume that a specific user requires the Right_Click_Disabled access level on Rep_1 in Folder_A and the Toolbar_Disabled access level on Rep_2 in Folder_A.
For this, you'll need to create two groups. Lets call them Right_Click_Disabled_Grp and Toolbar_Disabled_Grp. Add the user to both groups. Also apply access level Right_Click_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Right_Click_Disabled_Grp (principal).
Similarly, apply access level Toolbar_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Toolbar_Disabled_Grp (principal).
Now, give both groups View access on Folder_A. So, the user will have the most restrictive access of the combination of ViewRight_Click_DisabledToolbar_Disabled for all Webi reports in Folder_A.
Now, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, the user requires Right_Click_Disabled access. So, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, for principal Right_Click_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Right_Click_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_1. Similarly, for Rep_2 in Folder_A, the user requires Toolbar_Disabled access. Again, for Rep_2, for principal Toolbar_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Toolbar_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_2.
Summary:
Groups
Right_Click_Disabled_Grp
Toolbar_Disabled_Grp
Access Levels
Right_Click_Disabled
Toolbar_Disabled
Let me know if you have any questions.Also, note that I haven't tested this.
Best.

Roles & Authorizations for Web Reports...

Hello Experts,
We are newly implementing Web Reports in our organization. I need your great thoughts regarding implementing Authorizations for users to access the reports.
We are using a report menu page that contain links to all the reports. The page opens by clicking on a link on the portal. The individual reports are basically accessed from this page by clicking on the corresponding button (links a URL ).
I wonder if there is any way to look into the menu page (XHTML code of that web page/application) when ever the users click on the reports link and disable those buttons that the users are not allowed to access depending on the roles users are assigned to. Otherwise is there any better way to do it.
And also how to call a function from web applications.
This is a kind of urgent issue any quick ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize for the difficulty in reading this I will repost.
We have had no training or received any documenation on WAD. The below was created from internet research. Hence there may be WAD functionality that would allow easier maintenance, however; this is what we use.
With our dashboard, I have a web template that contains hyperlinks for our reports. I will call this HeaderTemplate1. For each web page I have report templates. These report templates have the HeaderTemplate1 mentioned above as well as the report tables, charts, text elements, tabs, etc.
The JavaScript logic for accessing the urls of the specific report templates is contained within our HeaderTemplate1.
Below is how our setup was tested. Keep in mind, this was only for testing basic functionality. If this is something we use I will most likely create a master data table that houses the user ID and an attribute for the header type. Thus, any report menu changes can be altered quickly without changing the javascript of each report template. Also this will accomodate the few thousand users we have.
To add the functionality of different 'menus', I created another header template with the same hyperlinks of HeadertTemplate1 with the exception of one or two hyperlinks. This, HeaderTemplate2, was added to each report template just below HeaderTemplate1. Note that both HeaderTemplate1 and HeaderTemplate2 were set as visible on each report template.
Also, on each report template I added a text element. The 'List of Text Elements'property was set as such; Element Type = General Text Sympol, Element ID = SYUSER. This Text Element was linked to a query or view from BEx via the dataprovider. On the HTML side, I surrounded this Text Element with
<Font ID="UserID",,,textelement....</Font>
Each Report template has this javascript function, fnRepOnLoad, which is triggered at the OnLoad event.
[<SCRIPT language = "JAVASCRIPT">
function fnRepOnLoad()
    var user_ID=document.getElementById("UserID").innerHTML;
    if (user_ID=='USER123')
      document.all["HEADTMPLT1"].style.visibility = 'hidden';
      document.all["HEADTMPLT1"].style.position = 'absolute';
    else
      document.all["HEADTMPLT2"].style.visibility = 'hidden';
      document.all["HEADTMPLT2"].style.position = 'absolute';
</script>
The function results as this. If the user is USER123, HeaderTemplate1 is hidden, leaving only HeaderTemplate2 visible. Otherwise HeaderTemplate2 is invisible leaving on HeaderTemplate1 visible.
We do not use buttons as our global leaders prefer hyperlinks but buttons can be enabled or disabled similarly.
As mentioned before, if this method is implemented, I will create a reportable master data table. Create a customer exit variable to retrieve the header template required for the user. This header template variable value will then be pulled by a text element on each report template. The script function will act as follows. If many report headers are necessary I may use a case statement.
Var User_template=document.getElementById("UserTmplt").innerHTML;
If UserTmplt = HeaderTemplate1
--> make all header templates other than HeaderTemplate1 invisible
else
--> make all header templates other than HeaderTemplate2 invisible
etc...
I hope this helps. Please keep me posted with your solution. I am very interested to learn what others are doing.
Best Regards,
Larry

Hiding refresh button in Webi Report

Hello experts,
I would like to hide 'refresh' button on webi report in XI 3.1. One way to do this is using rights which I don't intend to use at this stage.
Do we have any other way out to do this task?
Many thanks in advance
Regards,
John

Options:
a) roll your own viewer/portal - probably the safest bet, although a bit unwieldy if Infoview works fine and you only want to make this specific change
b) make changes to Infoview's javascript files that render the toolbar buttons - entirely unsupported by SAP as well as a maintenance headache during upgrades
c) ...revisit your reasons for not being able to disable refresh of the report to users - surely there's a security matrix that satisfies your requirement. If there isn't (meaning that, for whatever reason you need these users to refresh against this content area in normal scenarios but want it disabled for this portion of your workflow) - then there are kludgy "work arounds" like adding/removing the user to/from a "no refresh" group you've created in the CMC, programmatically, when running the report(s)
good luck
