Issue in Infoview while refreshing DeskI report with prompts

Hi all,
When I tried to refresh a WebI report whose Data Source is Universe, which is having some prompts, the prompt window was displaying the prompt values that were used to run the report earlier. Similarly when I tried to refresh a few DeskI reports whose Data Sources are free hand sql/ Universe -> Customized SQL which were also having prompts, the prompt window is not showing me prompt values (especially prompts with texts) that were used to run the report earlier.
Now my issue is how to display the prompt values that were used in the prompts earlier while refreshing for DeskI (Data Source: Free hand SQl/Universe -> Customized SQL) Reports
Any help is highly aprreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
Noticed you still have no answer.
For Deski prompts, only the last value selected is 'remembered', same for freehand as for a universe query.
It does get 'erased' however when you purge the data or when you select a 'wrong' value resulting in no data.
This is the basic difference, webi will remember even though you purged
(you can specifically purge those to if you want to), so not the freehand sql.
It is possible however to use the @prompt() syntax and pre-build the possible list of values if the list is not too big.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

TimeoutmexpiredState: HYT00 error while refreshing Deski Report

Hi All,
I am tryting to refresh a deski report and get the following error:
Error during SQL execution: (DA0003): Exception DBD, [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeoutexpired state: HYT00] The following data providers have not been successfully refreshed: QUERY with CONNECTION. (DMA0007): (Error: INF)
The report has prompts e.g Regions. When I select Region 1 the report runs fine, but when I select Region 2 this error occurs. I presume this region also has a lot of data and could take a couple of minutes to run.
I have tried analysing the universe and add index's to the database tables to try and speed up the query process - but no luck.
Has anyone seen this or been able to resolve this...
Many thanks
Jacques

This is scary... Google just returns 2 results and they are not much use either..
But anyway, I went all the way... and so I shall post the results.
Firstly, I tool the SQL from the report and ran it in query analyser to see the query execution plan. Where I could detect high query cost, I created index's on the tables where appropriate.
Futher, I incorporated the physical tables instead of using views from the database (from my legacy developer)...
And finally, I recreated the report to iron out the objects/tables that make the report run slow when added.
A lengthy process - most probably not the best, but at least the report runs and no timeouts occur.

Scheduling BO deski reports with prompts

Hi All,
I am pretty new to this site and Business Objects also... can anyone help me plzzz...
Below is my requirement..
Environment: Business Objects XI 3.1, Oracle Database, Deski reports.
In my deski report I have column called Product ID..This column has many list of values (for example 500 lov's) and this varies every month, may increase or decrease.
I have to schedule this report(like for a period of one year and should run every month-end) and it should generate all separate .xls reports for all the ID lov's , i,e it should generate like all 500 reports at a time and send it to a file system(Destination).
And these IDu2019s are not users in BO and there are no Profiles created in BO.
Can anyone tell me how can we do this.

Hello,
This is a very common requirement but unfortunately it's not an "out of the box" functionality.
If you know Java script you should investigate "Publication Extensions", this will allow you to add post publication rules.
Have a look at Page 33 in the publishing guide:
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_publisher_en.pdf]
Publication Extensions:
A publication extension is a dynamically loaded library of code that applies
business logic to publications. Publication extensions are useful for situations
where you require additional automated customization of publications after
processing or delivery.
For example, use publication extensions to perform the following tasks after
processing:
u2022 Merge documents of the same type (for example, merging multiple Excel
spreadsheets into a single Excel workbook).
u2022 Add password protection to or encrypt a document.
u2022 Convert a document to a different format.
u2022 Create custom log files for the publication job.

Error while refreshing a report using local csv file

Hi,
I'm using BI 4.1 SP02.
While using Rich client, I've created a report with some merged queries, while one of the queries is a local CSV file - saved on AD in some server, and not on the repository inside BO.
While trying to refresh the report with the Rich client, it all went great.
Now, while using BI Launchpad java based app, I can't refresh the report - I get the following error:
"An Internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270) (WIS 30270)"
Should I be able to refresh a report without the Rich if it contains a local file (which is possible to EDIT only with rich) ?
If so, then did someone ran into this error?
Thank you,
Or.

First of all, thanks for both of the replies.
Second,
my problem is unlikely have to do something with permissions from one reasons -
when the report is using XLS\XLSX on same folder(with same name prefix) - the report is running without any problem.
Only problem is while refreshing without Rich while the source is network CSV file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Error occured while refreshing webi report in bi system

Dear Experts ,
please look into my problem
While refreshing WebI report in BIDEV system, we are getting the following error. The problem occurs only while refreshing the report.
ERROR: a database error occured. the database error text is unable to connect to sap bw server incomplete logon data.. (wis10901)
Regards

HI ayur
In the universe connection if the username and password is hardcoded then make sure those username and passwords are correct.
else
Make sure you are in the right BOX, for example if Universe is pointed to Prod, and you execute the report associated with that universe in the Dev, then that error will show up. So in universe connection find out to what BOX(dev, test, prod) it is pointed to and login to webI in the same BOX as universe pointed to and execute the report.
It should work, if not please let us know.

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
Is there any way to increase the performance.

Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.
O/S
App. Server
Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.

Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

Hi,
Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found".
Thanks,
Debbie

Debbie,
That's standard.
It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
I hope that clears it up for your.
Regards,
Mark

ReportViewerBean refreshReport behavior running report with prompt

I've been blocked trying to test this behavior: whether or not the automatic refresh (on a timer) of a report with prompt will bring up the Refresh Report Data" window, asking about current or new prompt values, requiring manual intervention on each refresh. So, I take it to the community! When a report with prompt running from the server or within the client is manually refreshed, the Refresh Report Data window comes up and must be "answered" before the actual refresh occurs. We need to have 15 second automatic refresh of the report with prompts.
Does the ReportViewerBean::refreshReport() behave in the same way (bringing up the Refresh Report Data window and blocking data refresh), or does it simply result in refreshing the query data in the report?
Thanks!

Hi,
What you have to do is to purge the data for your deski reports then refresh them and republish them and then proceed.
The other thing which may cause this is your variables.
Are you using some variables, like date, year etc?
If yes then recheck them. Sometimes these variable gets corrupted.

Reports with prompting stop working when moved from Crystal10 to crystal 11

Issue:
We are having trouble with Crystal Reports XI. It appears that the Crystal 10 runtime included the ability to process reports that used prompting. If we run the same report with the Crystal XI runtime, it fails.
I can send a sample of the report.
Error Dialog:
Title: Internet Explorer Script Error
Error Details:
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file: /// C:/Program%20Files/Business%20Objects/3.0/crystalreportsviewers11/prompting/js/promptengine_strings_en.js
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
Yes/No
Our Configuration:
We use Merge Modules that install Crystal Reports through the browser via a CAB file that we created. It runs a setup executable
The setup executable project that installs CR XI uses the following Merge Modules:
CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of your hot fixes)
Observation:
When the install is finished, the folder structure under u2026. Crystalviewers11/prompting do not have any files like they do if we install the development environment.
Question:
What do we need to do to correct this situation?
*why the reports with*
*prompting stops working when it is moved from a Crystal 10 to Crystal 11*
*environment. I believe that it has something to do with Merge Modules*
*because the files under the prompting folder do not populate with the*
*merge module like they do with the full install of Crystal Reports.*
Please help.
Best Regards,
Peter Freeman
Edited by: Vivek Kumar Sharma on May 19, 2009 3:43 PM

We have JDK 1.6 installed. The License Merge Module is not related to
this issue.
The files under \Program Files\Common Files\Business
Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\prompting are not being installed.
If we copy files, into this folder structure the reports work.
One of the Business Object's Merge Modules should install the files
there rather than just an empty folder structure.
I got was able to figure out how to enter a customer support message.
They said that they could not support us because we were not on CRXIR2
(Crystal Reports 11 Release 2).
I found a download for CRXIR2SP4 (same thing service pack 4).
I installed it the Merge Module names changed to include a "_5"
Was:
CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of
your hot fixes)
Now:
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm (should have been included)
*CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (not needed anymore)
I will try to put a installer together with these. If this work there
will be some complexity around uninstalling the old one and installing
the new one.

Page size issues while saving Deski report to PDF

Hi All,
While saving the Deski report as PDF, the page size changes randomly.
The workflow is:
Created a report in Deski.
-- Chekced in File | Page setup the zoom size(Fit to Print | Adjust to) is 100% and the paper size is A4.
-- Saved it as PDF.
-- In Acrobat Reader 7.0, opened the save report, the size of paper is 8.5*11, the normal paper size.
-- In the report in theFile | Page setup, changed the zoom size to anything less than 100% (e.g changed to 90%) whereas the paper size is A4.
-- Saved it as PDF.
-- In the Acrobar Reader noticed that the page size increases to some random size(e.g 9.18*12.99).
When priting the Document the printer changes the same to A4 resulting in truncating of the content.
The page size should be same but the content size should reduce.
The issue can be reproduced in 6.5 and XIR2 as well.
Is there any workaround for this that the size of the content decrease rather than increasing the page size??

Hi Sarbhjeet,
Thank you for all your help.
Further to our investigation we found that this is known issue and it is a limitation of the Product, it wont be fixed.
The ADAPT for the same is ADAPT00743734
It is reproducible with XI 3.1 as well.
FYI...........
1. PDF Engine will get the rendering information from the busobj. If there is a character size differences between PDF and busobj, there are chances that you may see bigger cells or reduced data in PDF.
2. In the report when Fit to 1 page by 1 wide in Pagesetup->FitToPrint, the page size will be set to the fit the complete report in busobj.
3. When save as PDF, this information (increased page size, due to settings in 2) will be sent to PDF Engine. The Engine will try to fit the size into the available standard PDF size (based on Print settings and other combinations).If it tries to fit the report (enhanced page size) to the available size, then we loose lot of information depending on the number of columns and rows.
4. Shrinking the report in busobj may not feasible.
When we change the page size in Fit to Print (either Adjust to % or Fit to ) , in reporter it changes the page size instead of changing the rendering to fit to the page.
When save the report to PDF, it gets the information with extended page size. So we see the enhanced page in PDF.
Also in order to implement the shrink (instead of changing the Page size), each cell has to be shrieked to the percentage of the reduced page (compared to the original page size). It becomes more complicated when charts come to picture.
I hope the above information helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Anisa

Error while scheduling DESKI report in infoview

I m scheduling a DESKI report to users enterprise inbox from infoview using a server group. This server group has DesktopIntelligence Job server, Destination Job server, Adaptive Job server and Program Job servers and all these servers are running.
When I schedule the report to boldusers enterprise inboxbold it get failed and shows this error message
bolddestination DLL disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp] bold
I m wondering what has to be enabled for scheduling a report to infoview's own inbox.

Abhilash
You are correct that it shows all the prompts but only when we run the report either directly from the CR Designer or via View on Demand in Infoview/CMC.
But if I try to schedule an instance of this report, I am getting a check box in the parameter section which says "Show unused parameters" to see this dyanamic prompt. And When I check that box in Infoview still I am not able to select any value for this prompt as it's greyed out.
Hope I am able to explain my query to you.
Also attached a screen shot of the scenario for your reference.

DeskI report with free hand sql

Hi,
I have converted a deski report from BO 5x to BO Xi. R3. That report contains a free hand sql connection. The report run fine when running from the server. But it is not when I am trying to refresh it through Infoview; somehow I am getting the CORBA Initialization failiure.
I tested successfully the connection through Desinger. I am not sure what I need to do next.
Please help!!!!
Edited by: Brian Mangan on Sep 9, 2010 10:53 PM

Hi,
When a report with free hand sql converted from earlier versions (5x) to latest version (r3 I guess) then the connection parameters sholud be changed in latest version (r3). Please change ur connection parameters in r3. i.e the user name, password and connection string so that in r3 we can connect to back end and then try to refresh the report in webi.
The Corba Initialization is related to invalid connection to back end.
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.
