IDT BICS Connection Slow Listing Infoareas

Hi,
We are having an issue when we create a BICS connection and trying to browse to select a query it takes a long time to list infoareas, cubes, and queries. Our environment is BO4 SP6P1 against SAP BW 7.3. When we use the search feature to find a query it never completes. Is anyone else seeing this? Does anyone know the workflow of servers that are used to list this information? Do the DSL service or Tomcat come into play?

Hi
I suspect it's related to network issue...If possible check with other regins users also have same issue.
if you increse bandwidth speed ...it may take less time.

BW Authorization and setting issue to set up a BICS connection for Xcelsius

We are trying to create a BICS connection with Xcelsius on our BW production system and would like to know what the minimal settings should be to be able to publish and run an Xcelsius dashboard. We have been able to make a BICS connection with Xcelsius and publish and run/launch the dashboard on BW development. BW Development is completely open; there are no restrictions on the settings. But of course we cannot open our production like this. We have tried to open our BW test according to the SAP NetWeaver How to Guide: How to... Create Authorization Objects Required to Work with Xcelsius Dashboards in SAP BW. We have done the following:
First of all we get the following message when saving a Xcelsius file to BW, when all the settings are equal to the production settings (not modifiable):
! The specified technical name is not valid for the permitted namespace
!     R7     063     Namespace u2018/BICS/u2019 must be set to u2018changeableu2019 (transaction SE06)
After that we changed the settings on our BW test environment to modifiable by doing the following steps:
1.     SCC4 (System temporarely open; after changing the system change options by SE06; the system will be closed again)
2.     SE06 (Namespace /BIC/ to modifiable)
After that when trying to do the same thing as before, saving the Xcelsius file to BW, we get the following error message:
! The specified technical name is not valid for the permitted namespace
!     R7     017     Namespace u2018u2019 is not a valid BI namespace
And also this message:
Diagnosis
Namespace u2018u2019 must be entered in both the BI table RSNSPACE and the basis table TRSNSPACE or the view V_TRNSPACE. You also have to enter the relevant generation namespace u2018&V2u2019 in table TRNSPACE. This value is taken from RSNSPACE.
Both namespaces must be set to u2018Changeableu2019 u2013 providing they are not empty.
System Response
You cannot edit or create an object in this namespace.
Procedure
Use a different name.
Or contact your system administrator. He/she can switch the namespace to u2018Changeableu2019 using transaction SE06, or - if they do not already exist - enter them in the table named above using transaction SM30.
If the namespace u2018&V1u2019 is empty, then the problem is with the generation namespace u2018/BIC/u2019.
Procedure for the System Administrator
Following this error message:
X    System is not set to changeable u2013 objects are not changeable
When everything is set to modifiable and the BW test environment is fully open, we are able to publish the Xcelsius file to BW and the dashboard can be run on the BW data.
What we would like to know what the minimal settings should be to be able to publish and run/launch the Xcelsius dashboard without completely setting the production setting open. And what are the other consequences of adjusting the BW production settings; any drawbacks?

Hello,
goto transaction RSA1 – transport Connection – button « Object Changeability » - in the list please switch ligne XCLS as « Changeable ».
Hope that works
Best regards
Arno

Can we create custom objects in WebI 4.0 BICS connectivity in BI 4.0 ?

Hi All,
I am using BI 4.0 and would like to know if we can create custom objects(measures or dimensions) in WebI 4.0 using the BICS connectivity with SAP BW BEx Queries?
Rohit

Hi,
No, I'm afraid that's not possible with the BICS 'transient universe' (because you cannot edit the BW OLAP business layer in IDT)
Sure - in XI3.1, SAP Integration Kit, OLAP .unv universes, it was possible to do custom objects with MDX and XML tags.
Infact, the UDT is still available in BI 4.0

Henry

LOV issue for Crystal Report 4.0 ( Enterprise ) using the BICS connection

Hi Expert,
I am working for one our client which is using Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0 SP 2 i am facing the following problem with the LOV .
- I have created the crystal report on top of BEx query using the OLAP connection in CMC .
I have the variable at BEx query level which have list of value around 100 K and user want to search through that LOV in order to make his selection but as soon as i include that variable in my Query and run my CR my report crashes and i cannot run the report .
I gave the user the option of manual input of value to that variable it does not work as it uses the BICS connection and i read somewhere we cannot use the manual input in case of BICS connection for crystal report you have to select the value from the LOV .
My Question is is there any workaround if we can restrict our LOV to some extent and let the user to select and search from that any setting if we have at query designer level to restrict the LOV to burst in the report .
Any input will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Vibhav

Saving Xcelsius Dashboard on 4.0 version using BICS connectivity

Hi All,
On the newly released SAP BO 4.0, could you tell if use BICS connectivity for Dashboards.... can we save the dashboard on BOBJ repository- CMS
and open this Dashboard in Infoview portal.?
(or)
do we have the Limitation of saving this Dashboard only in BW and use Enterprise Portal to view.
I know that in XI 3.1 version we have this limitation. Is this improved in 4.0?
Thanks!

Hi !
Dashboard Designer NW Connection + BI Launchpad(BO 4.0)

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting on the computer, and how?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

Xcelsius Parent/Child SWF Loader with BICS Connections

We have several Xcelsius Dashboards that use BICS connections to retrieve data from BW queries that we'd like to combine into one Parent/Child tabbed dashboard. I can't seem to find solid information on if this is possible using a SWF Loader component due to the BICS requirement of being published through BW Portal and not InfoView. Does anyone have any ideas (short of combining them into one huge dashboard due to the volume of data)? Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I have been working with SWF loader on the SAP portal using the BICS connection type. It was not supported last time I asked about a year ago. However, it can work if you specify the URL in the SWF loader in this way:
http://sapwebdisp.vestas.net:8103/bicsremotebex?SWF=XXX&TIMESTMP=1318867468000
XXX is the name you publish your child dashboard under. Data can be exchanged between the parent and child dashboard by using the custom component "Data sharer" from Inovista which can be downloaded for free:
http://www.inovista.com
Besides the fact that this setup is unsupported there are some limitations so from my point of view it should only be applied under the following conditions:
1. It is not possible to build eveything into a single dashboard.
2. A solution having several independent dashboards does not make sense.
An alternative might be the setup described in note 1526291. The way I understand it, it binds the dashboards together in a similar way as on a BO server with flash variables.

Michael

So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.

Dashboards with BICS connectivity and Infoview (BO4.0 Information Platform)

Hello All,
I have worked on Xcelsius 2008 with BICS connectivity to consume BEX Queries,
and I'm aware that its not possible to export BICS based dashboards to BOE.
But with the latest BO 4.0 release,
I understand that BICS connectivity is inbuilt in BOE and we can consume BEX queries directly to create WEBI Reports.
so my question is :
in the latest version of Xcelsius ( Dashboards ),
is it possible to Export Dashboards based on BICS to BO Information platform (4.0)???
or is it still published in BW server only like the earlier (2008) version??
To be able to create BEX based dashboards published on Info platform ,
is QAAWS/Liveoffice still the only available possibility???
Appreciate the help ,
as we need to propose high level architecture to a customer who want to use Information platform as report
delivery tool, and use BW as backend.
Thanks and regards,
Vinay
Thanks and regards,
Vinay

Hello Tracy,
Thanks a ton for the response.
But in our case the customer does not plan to have Enterprise portal integration.
So to be able to Deploy dashboards directly to Infoview from BEx query,will the below architecture work?
1.Creating WEBI (4.0) document from BEX Directly ( new functionality with 4.0)
2.Create BI web service or Live office document
3.Consume the same from Xcelsius and deploy into BOE.
This will internally use BICS as it is internally used to create WEBI docu in 4.0.
Let us know if there are any limitations with this architecture.
Thanks and regards,
Vinay

Internet connection slows down after a while

I have a wrt160n connected to an arris cable modem. When I set it up it works fine - after a period of hours the internet connection slows down a lot. If I then connect my computer directly to the modem it is is fast again. But to get the signal to the router working fast again I have to reset the modem and power cycle the router. Is there a conflict - is my router rationing access or what?

You should download and upgrade/flash your router's firmware...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1350 and click Save Settings...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

WRVS4400N - Increasing the number of Wireless Clients in Connection Control List

There's a limit of 20 MAC address that i can add to the Connection Control list on the WRVS4400N.
Is there a way to increase that list?
We're growing quicker than expected and need more than 20 client access now.
Thanks.
Sean.
Message Edited by seanchua on 05-06-2008 09:54 PM

Appologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I have this exact question and can't find a definitive answer.
Is there a maximum number of wireless connections for the WRVS4400N?
We're using this for a church and see about 200 people come through on a weekend and the goal is to provide a connection on an open SSID to all of them, while the speed doesn't really matter, but the fact that they can get a connection does. At some point every sunday we see the connection drop, although users can get IP addressess from the DHCP on the router.
I tried the following:
Changed wireless channel from 1 to Auto
Change band from b/g/n b/g
Disabled IPS
increased lease count from 50 to 250
decreased lease time from 1 day to 2 hours
If there's some hard coded maximum, then perhaps this router just isn't the right one for this establishment. Thoughts?

Different type of BICS Connectivity?

I did not know that BICS connectivity is different for different tools. Does anyone know the difference?
BICS (Dimensional Transient Universe)
BICS (Direct to BEx)
BICS (NW BI Java)

Hi Ingo
thanks for your answer...
Im however a bit confused. My understanding is that, with BICS, the user does no longuer need to develop a universe in order to connect to SAP BW (Bex Query as a source of data). We just need to define an OLAP connection using BICS interface. We only need to develop a universe when we are using a relational connection(on RDMS datasource).
My point was : having a BICS connection on a Bex Query build on the top of multiprovider (on multiple cubes for instance), would be better that a using a multi source-enabled datafoundation---+ business layer of course, in terms of performance, since SAP recommand using BICS connection on top of SAP BW. Why would you have to develop a universe if you are connecting to sap BW and if performance is an issue?

Connect caught listing registry?

I ctrl-c'd my running RMI server and, as expected, cannot create a new registry on this port.
However, I created a small test app to attempt to 're-attach' to the registry:
try {
/* does one already exist? */
serverRegistry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry("localhost");
System.out.println ("\n\nReturn from locateReg = " + serverRegistry + " \n\n");
try {
/* show names bound in registry */
serverRegistry.list();
LocateRegistry succeeds in returning a Registry object.
However, serverRegistry.list() throws the following exception:
Exception java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: localhost; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect caught listing registry
I've probably oversimplified what needs to be done to regain access to the server, but does anyone know what's going on here?

LocateRegistry.getRegistry() merely gives you a client stub to the registry. Because the registry uses a well-known remote ID, this call will always succeed and by itself does not guarantee that the registry is up and running. You need to execute an actual registry API call to make sure [and list() is a good choice, for example].
Is your registry embedded into the server VM or running in a separate process [rmiregistry.exe]?
