Infoview and VBA

Hi to all,
I've tried to publish some reports to Infoview which have got a lot of VBA (these are legacy reports, done with 6.5). They used to work perfectly through Infoview and BusinessObjects, but now they work only with DesktopIntelligence.
Is there a way to debug/see some logs from Infoview?
Thanks
Daniele

Dan, I'm actually running into the exact same issue. Here's an example of the code we are trying to get to work.
Public Sub Forced_Refresh_All_Scorecards()
    Dim Result As Integer
    Dim OverWriteMode As Boolean
    OverWriteMode = OVERWRITE_ON
    Const SourceDir = "CPR - PreProduction/Operations/CPR - Migrated Reports/2.0 Kerry/Already Migrated"
    Const DestinDir = "
cpr.ca\rail_Data\WIN_ACB\CSTDataInt\Everyone\BO Development\"
Result = Refresh_Scorecard("scorecard9daily", DestinDir & "Scorecard9daily\", SourceDir, "Scorecard")
End Sub
When we run the DESKI report, on the BOE 3.1 server as the BOE 3.1 server ID it works correctly, however when the report is schedlued it will run to success very quickly but never actually execute the code.
I am toying with the idea of ripping out the VBA code and executing the VBA as a standalone VBA script file with the BOE program job server. If I have any success I will update.

Crystal 2008 and VBA in excel 2003

We have currently crystal reports in VBA form in excel 2003 using Crystal XI Release 2. when I tried to migrate this report to "Crystal Report 2008 SP2" in VBA, I only found following reference 12.0 library
Crystal Activex Report Viewer Library 12.0 (Crviewer.dll)
but I couldn't find any reference library for (Craxdrt.dll) for crystal XI Release 2 it use to be
"Crystal reports Activex Designer Run Time Library 11.5";
so If i use 12.0 CRViewer.dll in VBA then I can create report object for it if "Craxdrt.dll"; is missing.
thanks

Infoview and java 1.6.0_16

We have Crystal Reports Server 2008 InfoView and another web application running on the same Tomcat installation. Recently upgrading the corresponding version of java to 1.6 build 16 caused Infoview to throw a HTTP 500 error when trying to view any reports. Is there any known guidance to an issue like this? We are now discussing leaving the BOE Tomcat/Java installation to handle Infoview and installing a separate instance of Tomcat/Java for the other application. Recommandations?
VR,
Chad

We have been running 1.6 update 12 without any problems. We have only encountered problems when we recently updated to update 16.
For security purposes we are unable to use 1.5 because of some security flaw.

Hi Madhu,
For Scenario 1 : Go to CMC.
Go to : Home > BusinessObjects Enterprise Applcations > InfoView
You can customise Inforview properties and Rights here, like setting up ur logo,style sheets etc.
For Scenario 2: Each User will have to customize their own Infoview.
Go to Infoview. On the top right corner will be 3 icons. Click on the 'Preferences' icon.
In the General tab of preferences you can customise the infoview settings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!!

What is different between using Scriptlet and VBA

Did any know what is different between using "Insert test Scriptlet" and VBA (on Cusom Page Programmability node)?

It?s really the environment used. Scriptlets are Microsoft VB Script which is a loose scripting environment with no variable declarations, no intellisence, microhelp, etc. VBA is actually the full VB6 for applications language environment that provides a very helpful integrated development environment, variable declorations, library references, intellisence and more. VB Script generally uses less system resources, but with powerful hardware today we find that VBA meets all our needs. VBA Also easily allows the use of global modules and class files.

Hi, I am a newbie to Crystal reports and i am trying to view a report that i have designed thought MS Access. I have the development version and have added reference to Crystal ActiveX View Library then tried to open the report with the following code Dim testRep As New CrystalActiveXReportViewer testRep.ReportSource = "C:\Eclipse\Reports\test cust report.rpt" testRep.ViewReportbut I get a type mismatch error when is assigns the report source, so i guess it does not like a string being assigned to it. any one tell me where i am going wrong please ?

Wish moving to .net was an option, but unfotunately that is not an option for us at the moment.
I have tried looking at that example before and it doesn't really assist me much as it is for older version of rdc, do you know any good resources for CR11.5 and vba? I've tried searching the forums and not come across anything that will assist. I don't understand why when I insert the Crystal Reports viewer object I don't get the same properties as in the examples such as viewreport and setsource.

InfoView and CMC speed

Hi,
Just a quick question to see if anyone else is having issues regarding the speed of both InfoView and Central Management Console? It takes an age compared to the previous version of InfoView and CMC.
Our Crystal Sever is on a virtual server. Would this compromise the speed?
Any ideas of how to solve this?
Thanks in advance

Using ms project 2007 and vba macro to list all the custom fields used in the project?

Hi,Using ms project 2007 vba macro, I would like to be able to list all the custom fields used in the project and their corresponding field names. e.g. let us say I create a calculated duration field and name it "expected duration" and the name
of the field I select is Duration1.
I am trying to write a macro that will list all the used custom fields such as the result would look like:
Duration1 ---> "expected duration"
Text1 ---> "anything"
Flag1 ---> "....."
Number1 ---> "..............."
Can anyone provide me with the solution?
Regards,
Chuck

John,
I found this module, which provides the the list of custom fields used in the project but does not provide the name given to the field. Here below is the module and hope you could help me achieve this by modifying the macro to list the renamed field.
' MSP Checks all Custom Task Fields
Sub checkfields2()
'This macro will check and report out which custom task fields are used
'It requires Project 2002 and above as it relies on the GetField
'and FieldNameToFieldConstant methods which were not introduced until
'2002.
'It does not include resource fields, however it is a simple matter to
'do it by replacing the pjTask constant with pjResource.

Can't open an Excel doc (w/ macros and VBA) in Excel 2011 for Mac. Anyone have any ideas (other than using a pc instead)?

Hi all,
I am trying to open a document created in Excel in Windows on my Excel 2011 for mac copy. The issue seems to be related to using the Macros and VB associated with the .xlsm doc. The specific error I get in Excel is:
Compile error in hidden module: Utilities
When I try to open it in an Excel web app, or other online excel environment (whether using Firefox or Chrome) I get this message:
We can't show these features in the browser:
VBA Project
Shapes or other objects
few other forums suggested an issue with adobe add-ins, but I don't show one in the Excel>Tools>Addins dialogue.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

The same error message will result from a problem in any add-ins ,thus you should investigate other installed add-ins. It is worth the effort to try to start your excel program in safe mode. About how to use safe mode in Mac OS, Please refer to :http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892428
If this issue is gone in this situation, try to disable add-ins in excel.
In addition, since this issue is related to Excel 2011 for Mac, I would suggest that you post your issue in the following forum:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

ODBC, 32bit Windows 7 and VBA

I've got a VBA script that works fine with any v10 of the Oracle client on Windows XP.
However, on Windows 7 (Professional, 32 bit, no UAC, running as Administrator), it hangs and locks up the calling program at the objConnection.Close part of the script (after it's successfully connected and inserted the data).
I've tried it with 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.5 and 11.2.0.1.0
I don't particularly want to keep deploying new PCs with a 10 year old OS on them, but I can't give out more Windows 7 boxes until I get this fixed.
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
Gareth

Hi there (unusual user ID you have there...),
Ok, I support a number of MS based legacy 32 bit applications that need to work on Win 7. It was tricky at first. I wish that someone would find a place to post the basic instructions. I have a word document that describes the process in detail (which I gave to our IT department), but will summarize here.
1) I recommend going with Oracle 11g - it works fine on both the XP and Win 7 systems. Yes, I had to get a special approval from our IT, but I simply told them it was this or not having a bunch of staff able to work....
2) Remember that you need to install the 32 bit ODBC drivers if you want to run a 32 bit application - even if the computer is running Win 7 64bit. Also, note that some applications can run in both modes and, if running in 32 bit mode, may require the 32 bit drivers.
3) When you install the 32 bit drivers, use the custom option and check sqlPlus, Oracle ODBC Driver, and Oracle Net (the last so you can configure TNSNames)
4) After you install the 32 bit drivers, the ODBC Administrator that Oracle shows in its menu is the same as you get from the other Windows menus - BUT IT ONLY WORKS WITH 64 BIT DRIVERS.... So you need to create a shortcut and point it to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe - which is the 32 Bit version of the ODBC Administrator. There may be some other way to get to it, but I don't know how. Also, there is no easy way to tell if you are running the 32 or 64 bit version other than by looking at where the exe is located. Also, I have no idea why the 32 bit software is in SysWOW64 and the 64 bit software is in System32 (you would think the numbers would be reversed) - so don't ask.
5) If you have installed the ODBC drivers and can't see them when you run the ODBC Administrator, run the other version in case you accidently installed the wrong drivers. They only show up in the ODBC Admin that is the same bit as the drivers.
In my case, after I did this, then all my MS based apps ran just as well on Win 7 or Win XP.
One last thought. If you accidently posted to this forum but do not use ODBC, there are some other tricks I used as well to get my connections to Oracle working (in this case with my .NET apps.)

Crystal Reports Server XI , Infoview and Internet Explorer 7

Hi,
We have just upgraded to IE 7 and we are facing some problems in the Crystal Reports Viewer that is launched from Infoview when users run reports off of Crystal Reports Server XI.
- there is no horizontal scroll bar
- the print button on the CR Viewer does not work
- there is no busy/hourglass symbol to indicate the report is running
etc.
Has anyone experienced problems like this?
Any solutions or Service Packs or updates we can use?
thanks
-Jai

Hello Jai,
as you refer to Infoview I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Best regards,
Falk

Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4 Infoview and IE9 HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path

Hi There,
When I working in Infoview with IE9 32Bit or 64Bit and I right click on any object i.e Crystal Report, Folder, Webi Report etc. and select properties I get the following Error
HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path /PlatformServices/properties was requested
Has any one got a workaround or a solution for this problem.
Server - BOE XI 3.1 with SP4 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit.
Client PC`s\Laptops - Windows 7 64 bit
Kind Regards,
Frikkie

Dear all,
Seems the issue is browser compatibility ans the below solution may work in your case
HTTP 400 occurs because of URL difference between IE9 and older versions of supported IE. To resolve this issue, this error in Tomcat will be redirected to a HTML script that applies new URL format. Please follow this 3 steps process:
STEP ONE: Solution in InfoViewAppActions Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from InfoViewAppActions folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions\WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
        <error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/httperror_400.htm</location>
    </error-page>
STEP TWO: Solution in AnalyticalReporting Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from AnalyticalReporting folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting \WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/httperror_400.htm</location>
    </error-page>

How to enable log4j logging on Infoview and CMC on JBoss Appln Server?

Hi
I have enabled log4j logging on Web Intelligence (For Analytical Reporting Application). Can anybody help me in enabling logging for CMC and Infoview.
Please refer to the below link for more details on Logging in JBoss AS.
http://docs.jboss.org/process-guide/en/html/logging.html#d0e3341

If you have the EM (Enterprise Manager) installed on your stand alone WLS (which you should) you can select the managed server your app is running on, select the 'Log Configuration' menu and you should see almost the same representation an in jdev.
