Multiple access level Webi Reports

Hi,
We have Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.4. Our problem is that we want to asign to the same user diferent levels of visualization for a webi report, but if we asign the security at application level (WebIntelligence) the access levels applies for all reports and if we assign the access level at folder level it doesn´t applied to the visualization of the report. Basically we want that a user see a WebiReport without refresh the data and the same user saw a diferent report in a diferent folder with the capability to do this action.
Is this possible??
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I apologize for not replying earlier. I tried to reproduce what you mentioned. InfoView kept crashing on my end when I disable right-click.
In any case, you mentioned that disabling right-click only works when applied on on the application level (for Webi). We can work with this itself.
Again, for sake of simplicity, lets assume that we have only two access levels.
1. Right_Click_Disabled
2. Toolbar_Disabled
Also, lets assume that a specific user requires the Right_Click_Disabled access level on Rep_1 in Folder_A and the Toolbar_Disabled access level on Rep_2 in Folder_A.
For this, you'll need to create two groups. Lets call them Right_Click_Disabled_Grp and Toolbar_Disabled_Grp. Add the user to both groups. Also apply access level Right_Click_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Right_Click_Disabled_Grp (principal).
Similarly, apply access level Toolbar_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Toolbar_Disabled_Grp (principal).
Now, give both groups View access on Folder_A. So, the user will have the most restrictive access of the combination of ViewRight_Click_DisabledToolbar_Disabled for all Webi reports in Folder_A.
Now, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, the user requires Right_Click_Disabled access. So, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, for principal Right_Click_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Right_Click_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_1. Similarly, for Rep_2 in Folder_A, the user requires Toolbar_Disabled access. Again, for Rep_2, for principal Toolbar_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Toolbar_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_2.
Summary:
Groups
Right_Click_Disabled_Grp
Toolbar_Disabled_Grp
Access Levels
Right_Click_Disabled
Toolbar_Disabled
Let me know if you have any questions.Also, note that I haven't tested this.
Best.

Reg accessing the webi reports from visual C#

Hi,
I m using visual studio 2005 c#.Can some one throw lights on how to access the webi reports using this environment....
Thanks & Regards

Thank you for you reply! So there is no way to access a Crystal Reports Server from an arbitrary application using URLs out of the box? I would have to implement this "automated access" feature inside the server by myself. Is this correct?
If this is the case, I think I will do the whole report generation without a dedicated Crystal Reports Server. I have compared different alternatives for replacing the old RDC component of the C++ application described above. I think the best way would be to replace it via the JRC API of CR4E 2.0. In this case, I would have to access the Java API via JNI or by calling an external Java program, which generates and exports the reports.
In both cases (CR Server vs. JRC API) I would have to implement new application logic. But a dedicated Crystal Reports Server needs to be maintained and administered... And I think the Crystal Reports Server would be a bit oversized for my purposes (generating and exporting reports)...
If somebody has got other suggestions for replacing the RDC component (CR XI R2) inside a C++ application in order to use this application under Linux, I would be thankful .

Access Level - WebI XI3.0/3.1

Hi all,
Is there any access levels like can able to edit WebI Reports but not Save?
thnx in Advance.

Hi Reddeppa,
Hoffpauir's observation is correct and in order to attract more feedback that will serve your best interest, this thread will be moved to the appropriate section.
This is a quick mail to notify you that your question has been moved over to the Business Objects Administration section.
It is possible to set rights in Designer, however your question seems to be specific to the (CMC) central management console.
I hope this transfer will enrich your experince.

Access 2013 Web reporting seems to be missing

I have a simple request from a user to print out a list of the database in a nicely formatted form. Should take 10 minutes (or so I thought). The version is Access 2013 web.
It appears that this simple request is not easily done. There appears not to be a reporting function in the Web version of Access. I spent a long time looking for it and decided that it just isn't there.
For my second choice I decided to deploy the desktop version and create the reports there, but can't get a connection to the SQL Server where the Access Web App stores my data in SharePoint.
I found a web link showing me how to hook up Excel to the SQL server supporting the web app database. I have gone to the Web Access FILE\INFO screen and selected the Manage Connections section. Followed the instructions
for enabling a read only connection and then copied and pasted the server, database name, username and password into Excel using the "From other sources" button, then selecting the "From Data Connection Wizard", Selected other/advanced
and then SQL Server Native Client 11.0. It does not find the server when I test the connection. I constantly get a time out.
I am using a 365 SharePoint server to host my access web site. I called 365 Tech support and spent hours trying to work this out with people that didn't know anything about Access. The SharePoint people didn't understand the problem of not
being able to connect and was eventually told that it wasn't a feature they offered.
As an aside, with 18 years experience in developing Access applications, I am looking at other products to replace Access. I didn't jump into Access 2010 web because of the way SharePoint handled the database, but this is worse. Hate to walk away
from the experience I have, but seems I have been left little choice.

See if this blog post that our support team created helps you with the connection information. This can create the desktop Access application linked up to the Access 2013 web app tables you have.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_access_support_team_blog/archive/2014/03/24/how-to-make-external-connections-to-an-access-web-app-new.aspx
Also, you might just try clicking the Create Reports button in the Access web app client interface and Access will create the reporting database for you with links to the web app tables. On the File menu (when using the Access web app in client) make sure
to click the option to Allow Any Location under the Manage button. After that, just click the Create Reports button on the File menu (right above the Manage button) and wait a few seconds. Access will create a new desktop database linked up to all of the Access
web app tables. You can then create as many reports or other desktop objects as you like.
Hope that helps,

Access to WebI reports

Post Author: Use_BO
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
hi,
I am new to this environment and have a question,
If there are 2 universes of absolute same structure and objects, can the WebI reports built on one universe accessed from the other.
I mean is there any way we can change the source(universe) of a report.
Please help me with this question.
Thanks.

Post Author: prasingh
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
I know we can do this on Desktop Report -
> click on view data -> switch to definition tab -> click on three dots and change to the other universe. It will tell you if there is any problem in switching the universe and then you can chage the universe locally and then achieve the same ion the repository later.

Multiple Access Level Management

Let's say there are 8 pages on a web site. Each of the pages
until now has had a different access level defined in the database.
A user logs in, and access levels are checked via the predefined
levels on the pages he is attempting to view. Now users begin to
require access to different combinations of the 8 pages. So user A
might require page 1, 3, 5, 7 user B 1, 2, 3, 4 and user C wants 2,
4, 6, 8.
Is there a way to tell coldfusion to examine a string in the
access level field in which case a 1 means grant access and a 0
means no access? In other words, a string of 11001000 would grant
access to page 1,2 and 5 while a string of 00011100 would grant
access to 4, 5 and 6.
It seems as though this should be relatively easy, but after
searching the documentation, I cannot find any solution.

It would be easier to store individual database records
resembling
user_id has_access_to
1 1
1 3
1 5
etc

Reg: How to change Multiple Queries in WebI Report

Hi all,
I am woking in Xcelsius Dashboard. I used WebI approach for creating dashboard. I have two customers which one customer has SAP and another customer does not have SAP. so intially I have used Excell as data source. now I want to replace the Excel with BI Queries.Both having same structure.while replacing I faced the following problem.
I created one WebI report based on Excel as data source that has two Queries(Two universes).I want to replace excel based universe with BI query based universe.If I change the universe in an one query ,the univese is changed in an another query also. How can I replace two different universes that based on BI queries with existing universes ?
How can i resolve the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

hema,
As Thomas mentioned, changing one Data Provider causes the other Data Provider to get changed as well -- this is a problem for trying to change the universe on one tab and the system automatically goes and goofs up the other tab(s) as well. I'm still on XI R2 and the problem happens so maybe someone with XI 3.1 or higher loaded can confirm that this unwanted occurrence has been cleared up or not.
Thanks,
John

Multiple Access Levels per User

In a site I'm building, I need the ability to allow an administrator to intuitively assign different access levels to different users. There may ultimately be roughly 25 different pages to which a user may be granted access. One user may have access to section/page levels 1, 4, 5, 7 and 21. Another user may get access to 2, 3, 4, 17, 19 and 24, etc. While this is possible under the existing ADDT user login system by creating a separate access value that includes only the permissible pages (access level 1 could get to page 1, 4, 5, 7 and 21; access level 2 could only get to pages 2, 3, 4, 17, 19 and 24) it becomes impractical for the administrator since the developer (me) would have to come up with an access value and corresponding permissible pages for every possible combination. Every time a new combination was needed, my client would have to contact me to add that access integer and modify all the corresponding sections/pages that the user could access.
The ideal solution IMHO in this scenario would be for the administrator to simply be able to select or deselect a checkbox at will for each page to which the user is granted access (this is actually the scenario to which another of my feature request post refers:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b75119
In searching the old InterAKT forums, I came across a post in which this exact scenario was requested. The user and Ionut came up with a solution which I was able to modify to enable the system I describe above. Rather than repeating the solution, here is a link to that post:
http://www.interaktonline.com/Products/Dreamweaver-Extensions/MXUserLogin/Product-Forum/De tails/110205/Access+level+based+on+pages.html
While it appears this solution will work for me, it took me quite a while to find it, and even longer to understand it.
So, that's my feature request: The ability for an administrator to easily assign any combination of pages to which a user is granted access, preferably with a set of checkboxes.
Thanks!

This is functioning now. With 9.0 you simply use a forward slash between device IDs.
[device ID #1]/[device ID #2]
Put this information in the "Mobile Device ID" field on the user form.
It also has been verified with 8.82 PL15-16, but I don't know how far back it goes.

Providing un-secured access to a web report.

Hello Experts,
We have been sending out 'Load Status' emails on a daily basis for various BW loads. Recently we discontinued this process and set up a report based on one of the statistics cube. We got out the link for this web-report to all the users in our daily load status distribution list.
The problem now is that when you click on the link, it pops out a window asking for the log-on information to our production system. But it looks like a few of the users do not have access to the production system and are hence unable to access this web-report.
Is there any way to allow un-secured access to this particular web-report to all users i.e.without a screen asking for log-on information?Is it possible to set up a generic user id for this report that allows all the users to access this report without actually giving them access to our production system?
Thanks
Arvind

Arvind,
What is your BI system version ?
if it is 3.x - then the URL will have a link to your server followed by a Question mark "?" and then some parameters.
The value till the ? mark is the Web service for the same - you can make this Anonymous in SICF but then this would mean that all queries can be accessed through this URL ...
else create an RFC enabled function module based on RRW3_Query_View_data and then use this for your query and expose the same as a web service and make it anonymous ... or have a BSP page to do the same....

Dashboard with Webi Report link - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for
"Web Service Query"

Live office database errors in Citrix - underlying WebI reports work fine

Hi,
We have a live office report with 30 tabs in the excel file i.e. 30 webi report parts in it. It accesses 20 webi reports, each built on a BEX query.
Please see below the error which users get while running the report in Citrix environment. The underlying WebI report has no database errors, and we were able to run the Live Office reports at the same time on LAN. The Citirx users get these database/auth errors intermittently, on different tabs of the report at different times - the underlying BO reports are error free and users have proper rights to execute them.
"An error occured while opening the report. The report does not exist; youhave insufficient rights to open the report; or you cannot make a connection to the BusinessObjects Web Service. (LO 02010)
Failed to get the document information (LO 26315)
A database error occured. The database error text is: ...."
Please help.
Thanks,
Soumya

Hi,
BO Version is BO XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.1
Datasource - BEX queries BW Relese 701, support pack level 8
We have made users login to Infoview and checked that they are able to execute the WebI reports. Also, earlier they were able to run all reports, so there is no access problem.
These errors started occuring when we had to refersh BO Universes after some of the BEX queries changed. We even asked users to stop using the excel files on which they used to get errors, thinking the files may be corrupt. Then we sent them new files which we had successfully refershed at our end. But still they get these errors in their environment.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Soumya

Access from WebI/ Universe to SAP Query with user who has analysis authenti

Hello together,
I try to run and build a WebI report which is build on a universe based on SAP BW query. The user has restricted access to the data provider on which the SAP query is build. This restriction is based on analysis authentification (SAP BI 7.0) if I start the SAP query in BW the user has only restricted access to the data in the data provider (on which the SAP query is build). If I start the WebI report the user has full access to the data. I checked the authentification and in my opinion there is no other authentification in SAP BW which extends the restrictions.
Has anyone an idea why the authentification doesn't work?
Greetings Janine

Hey here,
I m creaing my universe on top of Infocube or multiprovider.
>> The recommendation path is to use BW queries with the necessary Authorization Variables leveraging your BI Authorizations.
For eg:
I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
>> This is part of BI Authorizations in BW.
Here are my queries:
1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
>> assuming you follow the 2 steps mentioned above (Query and authorization variables) - yes
If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
>> Data level security is part of your BI authorizations in BW.
In a nutshell, BO alone can't do that, one has to set up at BI level.
Hope clarified all your doubts.
Gracias...!!

Drill to webi report from a Linechart

Hi Experts,
We are showing regionwise no.of orders for each product in a line chart .

My problem is how can i capture those selected values.I am anle to capture selected series (Product) but not the Category label(region).
Any idea please share....
Is it possible to drill like this?
Thank you

Best tool to reduce the network bandwidth for WEBI reports

Hi Experts,
We have a central BO XI server installed in Head Office. Few users are needed to connet to Head Office from their place (Regions) to access the WEBI reports.
For this we have two options to refresh the report.
1. BO InfoView
2. Web Intelligence Rich Client
My question is , which is the best way to reduce the internet bandwidth. Since my users are on remote location and doesn't have good link, which one is the best option to reduce the bandwidth consumtion.
Regards,
Suresh

If you're launching Webi Rich Client in 3-tier (ZABO) mode there should be no difference from Infoview refresh, as WRC will utilize same webi report servers for refresh as Infoview does.
If you use 2-tier mode with WRC, then refresh will be local, using local connection to the reporting DB.
I'd say Infoview will be less bandwith intensive and you will be sending only structured and prepared data tot he client browser, not the rough data report needs.
To further decrease bandwith, you can design your server infrastructure to have regional processing, that way most communicatyions with be local and requests go to central location only for main data...
