Hello ALL,
I have the same problem when I am trying import from BIAR file. Please tell me how you resolved this issue.
I did not understand much from your previous message.
We are using BO XI R3.1 and below is the error message that Import Wizard is throwing.
Failed to open the BIAR file. Reason: com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.om.internal.iw.ObjectManagerIWException:required dependencies not found target system : 'AWAS3XkMSEtGn1TXI370kAU'

Error importing from BIAR file (BO XI 3.0)

Dear BO community,
I am using the BIAR tool for backup purposes. For my backup, I use a properties file as input which looks like the one shown below:
action=exportXML
exportBiarLocation=C:/Temp/BOBackup.biar
userName=Administrator
password=XXX
CMS=XXX:6400
authentication=secEnterprise
includeSecurity=true
exportDependencies=true
exportQuery1=select * from ci_infoobjects
exportQuery2=select * from ci_systemobjects
exportQuery3=select * from ci_appobjects
exportQueriesTotal=3
The file creation seems to work without any problems. A file is created. However, when importing the file into another CMS, I am getting the following error:
Failed to open the BIAR file. Reason: com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.om.internal.iw.ObjectManagerIWException:Input/Output exception occurred: 'Couldn't find entry 'BusinessObjects.xml'.
I have opened the BIAR file using a ZIP program and checked that there is no "businessobjects.xml" file in there. When creating BIARs using only a single query, this file exists and the import is no problem.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening and can help me?
Thank you and best regards!

Hi Yogesh - when you say "i don't think the file is corrupt, because it works fine in eclipse", do you mean, you are actually able to publish them to a server and test those out?
Dont know your exact scenario, but when you say that you took the sbconfig from another machine and used it on your local system, cant we just go ahead with that? I mean, clean up your code base, and then import this latest "working" sbconfig and start afresh?

Import a biar file into a specific folder in CMS through java sdk

Hi,
How to import a biar file into a specific folder in CMS through java sdk?
Can anyone help.
Regards,
Kavitha S

Hi Kavitha,
Have a look at the sample available at
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-6006, for importing a biar file using java sdks.
As far as I am aware of, you would not be able to import the contents of a biar file to a specific folder.
Why would you want to use a biar file to import contents to a different folder?
Organize>Move functionality from CMC/Infoview/BILaunchpad can work for this.

BI XI R2 Import to BIAR - BO XI 3.0 import from BIAR file. issue

Hi
I am importing My Universe, Desktop Reports, Web Intelligence report from BO XI R2 in to BIAR.
And then importing it to BO XI 3.0 using the BIAR file.
However import went successfully but on BO XI 3.0 I do not see universes or desktop report that I have imported from BO XI 3.0.
These file .unv .rep gets stored in <BO XI 3.0 Installation Directory > \FileStore\Input
What needs to do when importing so that my BO XI3.0 import will follow same folder structure as like BO XI R2.
Am I doing something wrong
--Kuldeep

When you do the import do you see all the objects marked as imported in the details log? Also are you bringing in the user security?

Error importing Quicktime Ref file

Until yesterday i could import a quicktime reference file from AVID to AME. Since today i get the message that the file may be corrupted. I did a test with different files (also with files which worked until yesterday) and i got always the same error message. I didn`t made any changes in my settings.
Last thing i tried: I imported the "corrupted" file into After effects and made a composition. The composition was accepted by AME without any errors.

That's how I got to Adobe, when Media Composer 6 came out with all the issues. I uninstalled Avid completely, went to the Adobe Cloud thinking the grass was greener with all the hype. I do high end weddings and my sequences are normally anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour long and I grade every single clip. That means hundreds or over a thousand or so clips and lots of noise removal for the reception parts. The built in filters for color grading in Premiere is way too hard to use and are nothing like anything I have ever used to color grade with, so the only options were Colorista or go to After Effects and use Color Finesse. Don't like Colorista, way to limiting, if you have ever done real color grading, you will know what I mean. Adobe Dynamic Link for the first couple of clips works okay but soon every time you move in Premiere you have to wait 30 seconds or more for the frame to come up, even with quality turned all the way down. When I finally would finish a project and try to open in Encore it would take 20 minutes to open, would work a little and then Encore would crash. Wait another 20 minutes for it to open, repeat the process over and over again. Tried to encode the project first in AME and it was not unusual to get 10 hours into an encode and then Adobe would just stop encoding for no reason (lots of others having same issues, no fix just lots of troubleshooting and workarounds). When I finally did get through the 22 hours render if there was no issues with the project I would take it into Encore where things would go faster but Encore has lots of issues (can't burn directly to disk, you have to built to a folder and then burn that to disk and not to mention all the errors you get when trying to build to the folder). If you are going to create DVDs and a Blu-rays you have to created projects in Encore for both from scratch.
Spent days every project reading forums where others are having the same issues, trying different workarounds and after finally getting it done, the next project running into the same issues. I have only mentioned a couple of the issues I had and lots of other people are having also, with no real fixes, just lots of troubleshooting or workarounds. Every project I would try something new like, I will try to simplify my work flow and try to do everything in Premiere and maybe it will work better and faster. Color Finesse has a version that can work in Premiere Pro, so maybe if it works, I will buy it and work only in Premier. Got the demo and nope, not only does it crash but Premier Pro does not through 32bit video to Color Finesse so that makes that program useless, glad I did not buy it. According to Synthetic Aperture this is a Premiere thing and there solution was to send a product suggestion to Adobe.
Again, this is a brief overview of some of the issues I ran into without 99% of the details. After months of trying to find a suitable workflow I had to give up. After a few days of searching for a suitable workflow with Avid, I found one. Now I add timecode to all video and tape names, transcode all video to DNxHD 36, (about 2 - 3 Hours) edit in Avid, with all titles speed effects etc, AAF to Resolve, color grade, render (about 1 to 2 hours)and back to Avid AAF DNxHD 175x check the final and export a QT Reference file (2 minutes to render out). Final transcoding to a Blu-ray about 1 hour. May not seem simple but it is, and things never get sluggish, everything just works that is until I get to Encore. What was taking weeks in Adobe only takes days in Avid.
My suggestion before you make any permanent changes, complete a real project from start to finish and test the workflow with Adobe. Maybe it will work for you and your needs. I know not every person is having every issue I have had, but I cannot imagine how anybody trying to use Adobe has got it working efficiently the way they advertise it to work. No matter what anyone says, I would have to stand over their shoulder and watch them from start to finish to believe them. Maybe the Matrox will speed things up a bit but I am not familiar with how all that works. I know lots have complained about how Avid runs with Matrox. The thing I can say about Avid is within a couple of day I was able to get around the defects of it and come up with a workflow that works, Adobe I was not, even after weeks and months of trying.
And yes I had issues with Avid before and a rebuild of the databases helped.

Importing a BIAR file into BO XI R2 SP2

We are trying to import a universe and reports from a BIAR file, using the Business Objects Import Wizard.
When we get to the screen that should list the universes that are available in the BIAR file, we do not see any universes for selection. (The reports show up fine)
We have tested the file on our development system, and the Universe is displaying on the screen in that environment.
We have also tried using an old BIAR file that worked in the past, and this is also not currently working.

Hi,
I have a similar situation at hand, when running the wizard to import universe from a BIAR file.
On the Select Universe Selection Page of the wizard, I could only see the BIAR File but there were no universe under that.
Hence i could not select any universe.
(other information)
BIAR File Size: 85.1 kb
Actual Universe File Size: 190 kb
Could anything be done inorder to get the list of universes in that page.
Please help me out.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

BIAR File Import from XI 3.0 Enterprise into new XI 3.0 Enterprise System

HI there,
I am encountering an error message when I attempt to import BIAR files from our old Enterprise XI 3.0 system into our new Enterprise XI 3.0 System. When I use the Import Wizard it asks me what source to copy from and I choose the location of our BIAR files. Next I choose our CMS name and logon to it using the Adminstrator credentials. When I click next the process begins to import the file but then stops at 23% and gives an error message that says:
Failed to open the BIAR file. Reason: come.businessobjects.sdk.biar.om.internal.iw.ObjectManagerIWException:A runtime rxception has occured in the Object Manager. null
This is a very concerning issue as we backed up our entire enterprise system with the BIAR files. In total there are 43 of them, each between 500 to 600 megs in size for a total of about 23 gigs. We had hoped to import these files to restore our system from a major crash but now has us very concerned. Any help in resolving this would be appreciated as we are now desperate to recover 4 years worth of work. Thank you.

Hi i have used Import wizard for importing the biar file in to the system and that too using the administrator in to BOXi3.1SP3 machine.
I am getting the following error
Logon Error:Failed to open the BIAR file. Reason:com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.om.internal.iw.ObjectManagerIWException: A runtime exception has occurred in the Object Manager, null
Please let me know if solutions to resolve this. What could be the problem while importing.
The same bair is working on my local machine but not on the client side
Thanks in advance

Why do I get an error importing .mov files in Lightroom 4.2 RC

I have Lightroom 4.2 RC on a Windows 7 desktop and laptop. Mov files from a Nikon D4 import fine on the desktop, but I get an error importing the same files on my laptop and they get skipped. My laptop is actually newer and more powerful than my desktop.

I was getting this message: "There is a problem with the video file" when attempting to import video files on Lightroom 4.1 (and after upgrading to 4.2) on Win7/64-bit.
The video files were M-JPEG/AVI and H.264/MP4.
Seeing a recommendation elsewhere, I uninstalled DivX and rebooted.
This resolved the issue for me!
Perhaps it will work for you, too, William.

Modifying an IDataConnection during BIAR file import

Hi
I am programmatically importing a BIAR file that contains some Universes/reports/connections/etc. I need to change the connection InfoObjects during the import. I have found a document called "Updating InfoObjects while importing BIAR files" which more or less describes what I want to do. It seems these InfoObjects are of type "IDataConnection" (which I can't find in the API documentation!). But when I change the connection (using setUVConnectionInfo(...)) and I import the BIAR file, my changes to the Connection Info (username, password, server) don't show up in the Universe Designer. The Universe Designer shows the old values and gives me this warning:
The current connection was edited with a previous version. After the edition, it will not be anymore compatible with previous version. Do you confirm you want to edit this connection?
So my question is:
How can I properly set the connection info on an IDataConnection object (my underlying DBMS is Oracle, and so I have a username, password, and TNS string). And is there any api documentation for this? (the document at http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/boesdk_java_apiRef_12_en.zip doesn't have anything...)
Thanks a lot
Zak

Hello Ted,
You can use BIAR to transfer the data connection, but currently the only public SDK to modify connection logon info is to use the COM-based Universe Designer SDK to pre- or post- process.
Alternatively, the Life Cycle Manager (LCM) product - that allows for modification of InfoObject properties on the fly - may be an option.
Is there a progress in this subject? I am writing a post-install tool that imports BIAR file with pre-defined Universes, reports and connections. I am looking for JAVA SDK to to change the connection during import.
I understand that LCM doesn't have SDK, so I cannot use it.
thank you

4.1 SP4 Import BIAR File and change connection information

Hi experts,
I have generated an LCMBIAR (contains Dashboard and Webi, Universe) in our current system landscape and we are trying to move this BIAR file to another system. However if we are to import this biar file into another system that is not connected to our current system landscape we need to be able to configure the DB connection information to point to new system DB. Is it possible to change the connection information for the universe when you importing the BIAR file, if yes, could you please give me the STEP by STEP instructions.

Hi,
1. Refer the following KBA -
1759284 - How To: Step-by-Step LCM Override Settings via LCMBIAR file
2. Then promote the reports and connections to the destination using Promotion manager.
Hope this helps.

Updating a biar file - database connection

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way of doing the following:
I have a biar file that was exported from a universe that I don't have access anymore. This original biar file doesn't have database connections set.
I am not able to connect directly to the machine I want to import the biar file using Designer, I can just use an alternative IP that is not the main one linked to machine's hostname (that is the Enterprise name). This alternative IP is the only one I have access to all ports, as you already know, I am not able to connect to it using Designer because it is not the CMS name.
I imported the biar file using command line.
Now I want to update database connection, how can I perform that? Is it there a way?
Thank you in advance,
A.

Hi there,
the full path on the system where it is running must be provided.
The 'Update a Sequencing File' is good for development but storing the value in a file somewhere on your system can quickly become a problem. The option 'Update a Sequencing Table in Another Database' gives you the non-obtrusiveness of the file based approach but stores the value in a database table. It is a little bit more work to set up but likely worth it over time.
Thanks
Steve
