How to link a webi report from crystal report

Hello everyone,
I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

Linking a WEBI report through hyperlink in a webpage using open document

Hi All,
I have a hyper link in a web page which when clicked should open a WEBI report. I created it using the open document feature.
Once clicking on the link, InfoView login credential page is displayed. After logging in the report runs.
My client does not want the login page to be displayed since most of the users does not remember their password (since SSO is implemented).
He wants to bypass this login page so that most of the users can directly view the reports.
Question:
Is there a way to achieve this i.e without asking for login credentials or by passing this?
Possibilities :
1: To create ID's for all the people (which I think is not a feasible option in my project)
2: Create a guest account with minimum privileges and share the password with all the users.
Note:
1: I use BO XI R 3.1.
2: No SDK is installed to do any programming.
Any suggestion are most welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shreyas,
Manual Easy Way for doing the activity in SAP Business Objects 4.0:
This method is useful if we have a special system account that we want everyone to use.
You will notice that all we do is generate a logon token using the appropriate username, password and CMS variables. Then we append the token onto ivsLogonToken.
Note: The numbers on the url after /BOE/portal represents the timestamp of the last patch or install. You can put whatever you want under the number section and Business Objects will automatically redirect to the appropriate start.do
Step I:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
Step II:
You can copy the contents from the custom.jsp that I’ve provided below to your custom.jsp.
Cutom.JSP File
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*" %>

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

//BO Session and redirect to Infoview
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
/* * Set Enterprise Logon credentials. */
final String BO_CMS_NAME = "bi4server";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";
final String BO_USERNAME = "Daya";
final String BO_PASSWORD = "admin@123";
ILogonTokenMgr logonTokenMgr;
String defaultToken = "";

boolean loggedIn = true;
try {
//Create session token
enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(Daya,admin@123, BI4SERVER,Enterprise);
logonTokenMgr = enterpriseSession.getLogonTokenMgr();
defaultToken = logonTokenMgr.createWCAToken("", 20, 1);
//Redirect with token attached to the ivsLogonToken parameter
response.sendRedirect("http://"+BO_CMS_NAME+":8080/BOE/portal/1205291547/InfoView/logon/start.do?ivsLogonToken="+Encoder.encodeURL(defaultToken));

Edit the username,Password & BOBJ Server Name'in BOLD Letter
Step III:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Step IV:
Trusted Authentication:
Trusted Authentication is a component of Enterprise authentication that integrates with third-party single sign-on solutions, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Applications
that have established trust with the Central Management Server can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.
This method is really cool because users don’t even have to know their passwords. Basically with this method you can log into another system and if that system has the appropriate user name, you can pass it to the custom.jsp and then it will log you into BI Launchpad.
In addition, you don’t need to create any java code for the enterprise token setup.
Step V:
In the CMC, go to Authentication, then select Enterprise. Check Trusted Authentication is enabled, then click on New Shared Secret. Finally download the shared secret key and keep it somewhere secure
Step VI:
Copy global.properties from <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default into <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom. Then using Notepad or another text editing utility, edit the following properties
sso.enabled=true
trusted.auth.user.retrieval=WEB_SESSION
trusted.auth.user.param=UserName
trusted.auth.shared.secret=<secret code from properties file you created in step 2>
Step VII:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
<\!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

</script>
</head>

<a href="javascript:goToLogonPage()">Click this to go to the logon page of BI launch pad</a>

Edit the username(Daya) variable
Step VIII:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.

BODS Management Console link in WEBI Report

Hi All,
Need help, can we create a link for BODS Management Console in WEBI report ? Is it possible? I created one but it is not working for me. Ideally, when we click on the link, it should take the user to the login page of Management Console but that is not happening.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Purnima

It worked Sathish. Some server issue earlier I guess. Thanks Much .
Have a few questions :
1. Is it possible to create a link, in WEBI, to a document (.txt file) which is stored on BODS server?
2. Does BODS store error and warning description in BODS system tables? I know that it stores error log file path but I am not sure if it stores error description anywhere.
3. AL_SCHED_INFO table contains Job Scheduling information. But does this table contain the next scheduled time anywhere in this table?
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Purnima

Linking 2 WebI reports and passing values

Hi All,
I have an issue here.As I have 2 reports in WebI created and report1 will be a summary report and i have a object in report1 which is like a hyperlink like for eg 2001,2002,2003 and when i click on 2001 it should open up the report2 and give the Quarter,Q2,Q3,Q4.
Regards
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
U will have to use the concept of OpenDocument API.
Following are the steps for your question/difficulty.
1. Open a report in webi having an object year.
2.Open another report and have the objects year and quarter.
Type the below link in the Formula toolbar. The syntax is as follows.
="<a href=http://Server Name/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=Name Of The Second Reprt Try save this without space&s&lsSEnterYear:="[Year]">"[Year]+"</a>"
and in the properties window in the Read Cell Content As choose hyperlink.
You will get exactly what your ver looking for.
Hopefully this solves your problem.
Regards,
Bernard.

WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

Hi
We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi,
Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

Link from BOBJ Webi report to CRM webUI screen

Hi experts,
I was wondering, if there's a way to create a link from Webi report (based on CRM data) to webUI content in CRM? For example, Webi report will have opportunity numbers. User will be able to click on the opportunity number and get to webUI screen where he could see opportunity details and maybe even modify it.
Best regards,
Vlad

Hi,
You can link Webi Document to webUI content in CRM with help of Hyperlink based on particular column then you need to parse the data.
Once Parse button is clicked, it displays with the parts of the URL parsed into sections depending on parameters specified in OpenDocument URL.
for more information kindly go through following document.

Link to Child Webi report from Parent Webi report

Hi All,
I have child link for webi report in my parent webi report.
But, when i click on URL for child report, its again asking for logon credentials.
Is there any way to avoid asking logon credentials, instead it should pick credentials from parent.
Please reply.
Thanks,
Bhanu

Hi
If your link contains different host that is, after clicking the link if you want to redirect to another document with another BO server that time you have to supply credential (Login info of this server).
Case of same server no need to supply credential.
Thanks

Tool required to document webi reports

We need a tool for document the business objects webi reports. The requirement is follows.
The requirement is to map the BO report field to the source, so in short if I pick up any field on a given BO report can I trace it to a column in the datamart. And further the target datamart field can be mapped on to source field, which in turn gives me a complete mapping from Source column to BO report field.
Kindly let me know if there is a feature in BO which gives me the mapping of u201CBO Report field to Datamart fieldu201D in a automated fashion.
Thanks in advance,
James

Images as Hyperlinks in webi reports

Hi,
I’m trying to link two webi reports (summary through Details) through Open doc syntax using Images in a cell.
We have a requirement to link two webi reports (summary through Detail) using buttons (like Back & email) as images which will be embedded in to the cell and made hyperlink.
I found many articles on "Hyper linking on the images" between 2 webi reports (summary to detail) using open doc syntax which did not help much. So I am starting a new thread.
I’ve 2 scenarios happening, after the images being placed on the server - (…/usr/bobj/<installation Directory>/enterprise/images) –
1st Scenario – Right click on the cell contents, make it read as “hyperlink” and set appearance to “boimg://image-name.png”
Result: Image appears and there is no link. Cursor does not changes or no place to click.
2nd Scenario – Read the image directly into Ahref tag as - <img src=\” boimg://image-name.png\”>
Result: The link works perfectly fine. But, in the image place holder, a big “RED X” appears.
The steps -
- Placed a blank cell
- Right click -> Appearance -> Image from Address: boimg://image-name.png
- Read contents as "Hyperlink" (at this point, tested the cell, image appears fine, but no link appears!)
- Right Click on the same cell -> Document Link -> pass the values of the related objects -> Parse
- Also Include the <img src=\” boimg://image-name.png\”> in the AHref tag generated by the system after open doc call
- In the cell, both the image and the big RED X appears - image does not have a link and the big red X has link but no image. So basically nothing works!
We are on BO 4.1 SP1.
Experts please help!

Hi Fahid,
You can try the below steps which are pretty simple. It worked fine for me. For this I used an image object placed in ROOT directory of a web application server.
1.
Add a blank cell
2.
Right-click on the blank cell and select “Format cell”
3.
Under “General” specify Read content as “Hyperlink”
4.
Apply >> OK
5.
Right click on the cell >> "Edit Formula" >> Use the following formula
="<html><a href='http://localhost:8080' target='_blank'><img src = 'http://localhost:8080/sample.png' /></a></html>"
Hope this helps.
