  • How to connect Already created WebI reports with Xcelsius Dashboards

    HI Experts,
    My requirement it to bring data from already in use WebI reports to a consolidated Dashboard. I am aware of connecting universe with Dashboard with the help of QaaWS.
    Is there is any other way that we can connect our dashboard?
    We are thinking to publish those dashboards on the SAP Enterprise BI Portal.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    One can connect WebI reports with Xcelsius dashboards in 3 ways:
    1. Using QaaWS : connects universe with Dashboard. Dashboard uses the WSDL link to get data that works on SOAP (that works on exchanging web structures).
    2. Using Live Office Connection: With the help of Live Office one can connect the WebI reports directly. One can take advantage of the scheduled instances of the WebI reports. So it is good for time consuming reports.
    3. Using BI Web Services: Here custom web services are created of intended report instances. Publication is done from CMS side.
    after that WSDL is used as any other web services.
    Get back if you need any further clarification.

  • How to link a webi report from crystal report

    Hello everyone,
                          I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
    In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
    So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
    The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
    can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

    Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
    http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

  • Open the WebI report from Xcelsius dashboard

    Hi All,
    I would like to know how to open the WebI report from the xcelsius dashboard.
    Looking at the previous posts I followed the following steps to implement the same but that is not working.
    Inserted the component URL button and used the folowing link:
    http://servername/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sIDType=XXX
    But this is givingerre: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
    Also, tried the copying the reprot link, but that is opening the Infoview login page.
    I want the report to opened when we click the URL button.
    Could someone please provide me a solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sindhu

    did you try passing the iDocID parameter? When prompted did you try to login to InfoView and check whether Report gets displayed?
    Ideally the URL should be as below:
    [http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<cuid_of_the_document>]
    If you want to bypass the logon screen,you need to modify the OpenDocument.jsp to pass logon token to the above URL i.e.token=+token where the +token is being retrieved by sdk.

  • Linking a WEBI report through hyperlink in a webpage using open document

    Hi All,
    I have a hyper link in a web page which when clicked should open a WEBI report. I created it using the open document feature.
    Once clicking on the link, InfoView login credential page is displayed. After logging in the report runs.
    My client does not want the login page to be displayed since most of the users does not remember their password (since SSO is implemented).
    He wants to bypass this login page so that most of the users can directly view the reports.
    Question:
    Is there a way to achieve this i.e without asking for login credentials or by passing this?
    Possibilities :
    1: To create ID's for all the people (which I think is not a feasible option in my project)
    2: Create a guest account with minimum privileges and share the password with all the users.
    Note:
    1: I use BO XI R 3.1.
    2: No SDK is installed to do any programming.
    Any suggestion are most welcome.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Shreyas,
    Manual Easy Way for doing the activity in SAP Business Objects 4.0:
    This method is useful if we have a special system account that we want everyone to use.
    You will notice that all we do is generate a logon token using the appropriate username, password and CMS variables. Then we append the token onto ivsLogonToken.
    Note: The numbers on the url after /BOE/portal represents the timestamp of the last patch or install.  You can put whatever you want under the number section and Business Objects will automatically redirect to the appropriate start.do
    Step I:
    Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
    Step II:
    You can copy the contents from the custom.jsp that I’ve provided below to your custom.jsp.
    Cutom.JSP File
    <%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException" %>
    <%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*" %>
    <%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*" %>

    Edit the username,Password & BOBJ Server Name'in BOLD Letter
    Step III:
    Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
    Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
    Step IV:
    Trusted Authentication:
    Trusted Authentication is a component of Enterprise authentication that integrates with third-party single sign-on solutions, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Applications
    that have established trust with the Central Management Server can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.
    This method is really cool because users don’t even have to know their passwords.  Basically with this method you can log into another system and if that system has the appropriate user name, you can pass it to the custom.jsp and then it will log you into BI Launchpad.
    In addition, you don’t need to create any java code for the enterprise token setup.
    Step V:
    In the CMC, go to Authentication, then select Enterprise.  Check Trusted Authentication is enabled, then click on New Shared Secret.  Finally download the shared secret key and keep it somewhere secure
    Step VI:
    Copy global.properties from <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default into <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom.  Then using Notepad or another text editing utility, edit the following properties
    sso.enabled=true
    trusted.auth.user.retrieval=WEB_SESSION
    trusted.auth.user.param=UserName
    trusted.auth.shared.secret=<secret code from properties file you created in step 2>
    Step VII:
    Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
    <\!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

  • BODS Management Console link in WEBI Report

    Hi All,
    Need help, can we create a link for BODS Management Console in WEBI report ? Is it possible? I created one but it is not working for me. Ideally, when we click on the link, it should take the user to the login page of Management Console but that is not happening.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Purnima

    It worked Sathish. Some server issue earlier I guess. Thanks Much .
    Have a few questions :
    1. Is it possible to create a link, in WEBI, to a document (.txt file) which is stored on BODS server?
    2. Does BODS store error and warning description in BODS system tables? I know that it stores error log file path but I am not sure if it stores error description anywhere.
    3. AL_SCHED_INFO table contains Job Scheduling information. But does this table contain the next scheduled time anywhere in this table?
    Please help.
    Thanks Much,

  • Execute WebI Report within Xcelsius - Bypass Authetication of Infoview

    Hi,
    Env: BO Enterpise XI3.1 SP3, Xcelsius 2008 and LiveOffice.
    I have 2 web intelligence reports say Report1 and Report2.
    In Xcelsius, Report1 is embedded using Live Office. The data is displayed in form of a list. When the user selects a record from the list, appropriate parameters are passed on to the 2nd report i.e. Report2 by clicking the URL button. The URL uses the openDocument to execute the Report2.
    The problem is when I am trying to click the URL, On clicking the URL, It is displaying the Infoview Login screen and is requesting to enter the login credentials. The URL is as follows:-
    http://<servername>:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AVGE4RlLphlNo0LFC0DkYno&sDocName=OperatorDetails&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&lsSEnterBilling+Operator=ABC
    I am not sure how to suppress the Infoview login screen. I assume it is looking for a token but am not sure how to generate the token within Xcelsius. One of the blogs did mention a process to bypass the authetication of executing the dashboard by creating a token in jsp and then calling the dashboed swf file. Is there something silimar we can do by creating token within Xcelsius to avoid authetication to Infoview thus running webi report using openDocument from within Xcelsius.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    As the second report is to be viewed with the help of OpenDOc URL, so if logon tickets are not passed then the pop-up will be displayed to share the same.
    You can refer the below Opendoc guide from the latest BOE version released and go through the Logon Ticket section for more information.
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_opendocument_en.pdf
    Hope this gives you proper details.

  • Error when geeting the WebI report into Xcelsius using LiveOffice

    Hi All,
      I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP2 and Live Office. I run the report in the WebI and I am trying to get the report into Xcelsius using the live office. When I go to live office and select web intelligent I  am able to see the report it the InfoView but when I go to next step to insert into live office I am getting the below error "
    An error occurred when an object was selected in the report part viewer.(LO 02026)

    Could any one please help me.
    Thanks
    Muvva

    Hello Raghavendra,
    What is the size of the WebI report? There may be a limitation to the rows of data you can pull into Live Office.
    If this is the issue, you can avoid it through an alternative connection method called the [Xcelsius Web Intelligence Integration Suite.|http://antivia.com/products-xcelsius.stm]
    You can use this to connect Xcelsius directly to WebI, without the need for Live Office.

  • Linking 2 WebI reports and passing values

    Hi All,
              I have an issue here.As I have 2 reports in WebI created and report1 will be a summary report and i have a object in report1   which is like a hyperlink like for eg 2001,2002,2003 and when i click on 2001  it should open up the report2 and give the Quarter,Q2,Q3,Q4.
    Regards
    Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    U will have to use the concept of OpenDocument API.
    Following are the steps for your question/difficulty.
    1. Open a report in webi having an object year.
    2.Open another report and have the objects year and quarter.
    Type  the below link in the Formula toolbar. The syntax is as follows.
    ="<a href=http://Server Name/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=Name Of The Second Reprt Try save this without space&s&lsSEnterYear:="[Year]">"[Year]+"</a>"
    and in the properties window in the Read Cell Content As choose hyperlink.
    You will get exactly what your ver looking for.
    Hopefully this solves your problem.

  • How to pass parameter from xcelsius report to WebI report

    Hi,
    I have a pie chart in xcelsius. When user clicks on one of the slices of the chart I want to pass the selected slice value to a WebI report.
    For this I am doing following steps
    1. When user clicks on a chart slice the selected slice value will be written into a cell say B1
    2. Create a URL button which will get triggered on change of the value of cell B1.
    3. Set the URL value in the cell say C2. Here I am using Opendoc function to open Webi report.
    If I enter following value in C2 and run the report it works fine and opens the desired webi report.
    ="http://myServer.xyz.com:9001/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision="  &$B$1
    here I am Passing two parameters Company and Decision.
    Now I want to make this report run in all the environment so I changed the actual path of server( myServer.xyz.com:9001) to following
    ="../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision="  &$B$1
    but if I do this it gives me following error in Webi:
    "Error 404--Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.5 404 Not Found
    The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address."
    Is there any other way to open the WebI report from xcelsius?

    Hi Peter,
    the link provided refers to Xcelsius V4.5.
    In Xcelsius 2008 you have to control Flash Vars in the Data Manager.
    Go to the Data Manager, Add the Flash-Var Connection Type, Select CSV-FlashVar and define a name and a range.
    But i am not sure if Xcelsius Engage can handle FlashVars, because i am only working with Enterprise.
    Please take a look at your manual.
    For sure there are other ways to import data during runtime. Take a Look at the Connections provided by Data Manager. (e.g. QaaWS, SSRS, LiveOffice, Webservices, ...)
    Also take a look at the link below. It might be another nice option for "pseudo" data connectivity
