Limiting the Infoview export. CS 2008

Is there any way to limit the export options in infoview?
Restricting viewers to only export to PDF, Excel and CSV?
I realise that you can block exporting completely from the security settings, but is there any way to just limit the file types that can export too?

Hi Jimmy,
Having the same problem here. Would it be possible to share where to apply the settings mentioned? I was exploring on CMS Folders authorization and could not find it...
Thanks..

Hello James,
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.

Is it possible to restrict the available export formats in InfoView?

Hi all,
I uploaded some reports to Crystal Reports Server 2008. For most of them the user should be able to export them to CSV when viewing them in InfoView. For some reports this does not work correctly because they contain embedded subreports, cross tables etc., which can not be exported to CSV. Is it possible to remove the CSV format from the list of possible export formats for those reports?
Alternatively, is it possible to insert some hint into the CSV export like "Not all data contained due to export restrictions"?
Thanks for infos

HI,
you will able to disable the group tree icon panel when the crystal report opened. to do this,follow the steps mentioned below.
1. Go to your BO installation folder and then tomcat folder and then choose the CrystalReports web application.
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CrystalReports
Now change the web.xml of the this web app and insert a context parameter

<context-param>
<param-name>viewrpt.groupTreeHide</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Restart your tomcat, or restart crystal report web app from tomcat manager.
you can remove or add or disable the group tree icon as per your requirement.
Let me know if this works,

Limiting the file size on Export Action

Hi,
Is there an easy way of limiting the file sizes created by the Export action by simpoly stating the limit, for example 5MB?
Thanks,
Ronen

But you can proxy it by knowing that, say, a JPEG at 3000 x 3000 at 90% quality will be about 5 Gigs. - example, figures not meant to be accurate. Or a Tiff at 1000 X will be.....

Unable to change the background color of a webi report in the infoview

Hi,
Can someone please me help me with the below issue.
Environment Details:
BusinessObjects XI3.1 SP1SP2SP3
BusinessObjects XIR2 SP5
.Net infoview
IE 7
JRE versions used as;
On BOXI3.1 SP3 Server -1.6.0_03
On BOXIR2 SP5 Server -1.4.2_02
On the client machine   -1.6.0_14
Issue Description:
-Open an existing webi report in the infoview.
-In the report,I am not able to change the background and the font color for the column headings from the properties tab in the left navigation panel.
-I can change the color after hitting the color tab for multiple times.Also the color was getting changed when the color code was manually changed.
-The reports background color was getting changed,but not the font color.
-I tried to create a test report,where I was able to change the color.
I have;
-Installed the Java update 14 on BOXI3.1 server machine,here I was able to change the background and font color.
-However on the client machine,with the same Java update 14,the background and the font color for the column headings was not getting changed.
-Same behaviour is observed on BOE XIR2 SP5 machine.
Is there any limitations for using Java update 14 or am I required to do any other settings.
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
It is a strange behavior. You also stated that when you create a test report it works fine.
Can you create a copy of this report and then try on the new copy?
One thing you can do as a test to refresh the universe and then try it. And change some columns - add some column and then save and ten remove and save and make changes like this and trying changing color.
I think there is a problem with this report this is why it is behaving like this on all machine.

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:

How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

Changing the InfoView website address that is displayed

I'd like to change the website name that is displayed when people log onto Infoview.
I have a 4 server clustered environment, and each server is running Apache and TomCat. The sequence of events is:
user types in Infoview address in form http://myinfoview
Apache translates this to http://myinfoview.domain.com:8080
The network load balancer then redirects it to anyone of the 4 servers that is up, on a round-robin basis.
Tomcat responds to the request and redirects the users to http://serverX.domain.com:8080/InfoViewApp
(where serverX is serverA thru D)
This presents the user with the name of the server in the webaddress at the top - I'd like to always present the user with the same web address, http://myinfoview.domain.com etc no matter what server they are on, rather than presenting the individual server names.
I've tried changing the ROOT\index.html file to point to http://myinfoview:8080/InfoViewApp rather than http://serverX:8080/InfoViewApp, and this works, until you try and do anything - I just keep getting TimeOut messages.
I've tried using a relative path instead of using the FQDN (so doing a rediorect to /InfoViewApp), but this also gave me a timeout message.
I've added the required domain to the HOSTS file on the server. I've tried adding a virtual host to the Tomcat 5.5 CONF/Server.xml file, and this also kept giving me "A timeout has occurred" message.
What I'm wanting shouldn't be too hard to do, but I can't quite get it working. Has anyone who has done this and got it working, give me some pointers on what I'm missing?
Summary of my setup:
BO XI 3.1, SP3, Fixpack 3.5 x 4. All machines are Virtual Servers running identical hardware, with identical installations of BO, with the full suite installed on each server.
Windows 2008 R2 (x64), running Apache on port 80 and TomCat on 8080, using mod_jk with a hardware network load balancer.
FRS is on a network SAN.
Clustering is setup and appears to be working correctly, as loads seem to be balanced across all 4 servers. Windows AD SSO is setup and working correctly.

Unfortunately, that isn't working for me, which is why I'm looking for suggestions.
Here's my full details.
NAME      IP                           DNS Name
ServerA 10.18.16.61           ServerA
ServerB 10.18.16.62           ServerB
ServerC 10.18.16.63           ServerC
ServerD 10.18.16.64           ServerD
NLB         10/18.16.248         MyInfoView
The NLB has a DNS entry called "MyInfoview" so if you ping it etc, you see 10.18.16.248, and if you navigate to it in a browser, it takes you to one of ServerA-D.
So far so, everything is good.
ServerA-D each have the full BO suite on, using a network SAN for FRS storage. The CMS is clustered correctly - going directly to ServerA could actually end me up on a different server (the Tomcat/Apache is also clustered).
BUT, the link at the top says "http://serverA:8080/InfoViewApp" etc. I want it to say "http://MyInfoview:8080/InfoViewApp".
It's likely because of the way that I have had to get TomCat working - as I mentioend in my post, the Apache (port 80) index.html repoints to "http://myinfoview:8080"
Tomcat (port 8080) then has in the ROOT\index.html file
"http://serverA:8080/InfoViewApp" - and this is where my problem is.
I have tried the following:
in the Apache index.html : redirect to http://myinfoview:8080/InfoViewApp
In the server's Tomcat ROOT\index.html: redirect to http://myinfoview:8080/InfoVeiwApp
OR
relative path "/InfoViewApp"
Then I get logged on OK, but as soon as I click on "Document List" - or anything that accesses the CMS - then I get
"An error has occurred: A timeout error has occurred"
The ONLY way I have got this to work is by having the server name hardcoded into the Tomcat ROOR\index.html file.
I already have a DNS name that I want to use, and that is linked to the NLB.
I was hoping that maybe all I needed to do was setup a virtual host in the Tomcat server.xml file, but I was unsuccessful in setting that up in the Infoview environment.

What is the best export setting for video on blogger

What is the best export setting for video from premeire to blogger.com or blogspot.com

I have not been able to find the technical limits/specs for the site Blogger or blogspot.com. That is why I made the post here thinking some Adobe users may have experimented already and come up with good export settings for AVI DV video to a format optimized for Blogger.

Limits the PerformancePoint Analytic Chart drill down dimensions

Actually my requirement is, how to limits the Performance Point Analytic Chart drill down dimensions.
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. Is it possible to achieve it in SQL Server 2008 R2 without
Perspective?
I should not change my system from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 for
Perspective.
Is there any other way to achieve it.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Poomani,
In your scenario, you create a Performance Point Analytic Chart, now the requirement is that limit the Performance Point Analytic Chart drill down dimensions, right?
As you know, to limit the drill down dimensions, we can created a perspective in the cube that limited the visible dimensions to those couple of dimensions. In your scenario, you said that you need change my system from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012
for Perspective, right? We can create a Perspective on SQL Server 2008 R2 version. The links below might help.

Looking for a sample of the Flash Export from Encore CS3

I am close to upgrading to the CS3 Production Premium and one of the features that intrigues me is the Flash export from Encore CS3. I have searched the Adobe site without success for a sample of what an exported project looks like and functions on the web. Can anyone point me to a on-line sample of an exported project? Thanks in advance :)

'Black Gaps' in Flash usually come from the Flash trying to locate & load the next Flash file. Without a Pre-Loader, you will probably always have this... especially if your quality is set too high. This equates to longer load/buffer times which means there is nothing to display until there is enough video loaded in the buffer to play.
If your ultimate goal is to create Video for the Web... you'll need to learn proper techniques for producing video for the web. It is much different than producing video for TV or DVD. On the web you have to compress your video a lot more therefore you should not use a lot of Motion/Movement in your Characters, Camera, Media, Motion Backgrounds, etc. The less Motion/Movement you have means you can lower your quality settings but still get awesome looking video & good load times eliminating the Black Gaps and making an all around smoother internet presentation/experience.

Limiting the Text Size in CRM 5.0 IC Web Client

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where in we can enter the text for a CRM Document (say Service document) in the text field of IC Web Client. We have noticed that we are even allowed to enter the text of size around 73 MB also (which comes into 1000s of Word Documents).
We have now have a requirement for limiting this text as it is causing some problems and somehow affecting system performance.
Could anyone help me in limitating the text size in CRM 5.0 IC Web Client. I mean whether there is any configuration setting for doing the same or we need to do it in any text determination Procedure. Thanks in anticipation for your response.
Best Regards,
Kishore K

Kishore,
Use below code to determine no of characters typed in FoUpText.htm:
data: col_wrap type ref to cl_bsp_wd_collection_wrapper,
      lr_entity type ref to if_bol_bo_property_access,
      lv_str type string,
      lv_len type i.
      col_wrap = typed_context->BTTEXT->get_collection_wrapper( ).
      lr_entity ?= col_wrap->get_current( ).
      lv_str = lr_entity->get_property_as_string('CONC_LINES').
      lv_len = strlen( lv_str ).
Place this code in controller FoUpText.do anywhere accordingly
Cheers,
Ankur
