Hi,
First you sould make sure of your portal is up and running.
Then try to restart portal instance, you never know
Check clearly your authorization as well.
Afterwards try to chekc your portal setup. Check via following path: Logon to portal ->
Goto System Administration -> System Configuration -> System Landscape -> check Portal Content folder.
Chekc this sub/folder (Systems) for the your BW system which is suppose to be integrated into portal.

    Hi
    Once you get the error, without leaving that screen, execute transaction /nsu53 or ask your basis guy to check it for you.
    You will get details of missing authorization.

  • 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.

  • Error while executing webi report

    Hello Experts,
    I created a universe using SAP BI query. Now I am using this query to create webi report. so while creating webi report i select 1 characteristics and 1 key figure from the universe and putting them on result objects pane.
    After putting these object when I execute the report i get following error:
    Database error: SOFA Driver : Catastrophic failure. Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
    Can anyone suggest me how to resolve this error?
    Regards,
    Nirav Shah

    yes, underlying queries work perfectly fine. Universe are created without any issue. However,in WebI, when I drag the any TWO objects under any class or even combination of one object and one measurement key, as soon as I refresh query, the error pops up. If there is JUST ONE object, no issue at all. I can see the data.
    Mean...if there is more than one object in any WebI report, the error is thrown by WebI report. And this happens only while running WebI against SAP BW/BI, query or against any InfoCube.
    Thanks

  • HT1539 Is it necessary to have internet connection to watch videos? And can the movies in my iTunes library be played when I am in Rio, Brazil?

    Do I need to be on the internet to access movies in my iTunes library?  And would these same movies in my library play in Rio, Brazil. Most videos will not stream from US to Brazil...... such as no Hulu, video clips or song samples will not play in Brazil.

    No. The movies are on your computer.
    And would these same movies in my library play in Rio, Brazil.
    Yes. Your computer does not know where you are.

    iTunes application does not stream video over the internet anywhere. It only streams on your local network (to Apple TV or iDevice)

  • Unix shell script should execute (run) webI report.

    Hi
    i am new to BO.
    I have webI reports developed, can any one tell me how  to execute a webI reprot using unix sheel script.

    Hello Vijaya,
    Thatu2019s an interesting question.  BusinessObjects does not supply any native UNIX shell interfaces or scripts for running/executing Webi Reports. Not knowing what it is you are exactly trying to accomplish Iu2019ll give a very general answer.
    I have had several customers who had requirements to have external systems execute, refresh and export reports in BusinessObjects Enterprise before.  These external systems could execute a shell script so what they have ended up doing is creating generic Java applications that use the BusinessObjects BOE Java SDK. Once they had the Java application created their external application could execute a java directory or they created shell wrappers that were called.  So what you could do is create some Java applications that wrap the functionally you need and then execute those from the command line.
    With that said there is a lot of functionally built into BusinessObjects Enterprise.  If I was to know exactly what you were trying to achieve I might be able to point you in the direction of an existing product feature.
    Cheers,
    David.

    Hi All,
    I checked with the BO authorization team who grant access to different user groups to access BO reports.  It means that I was not having the access rights to view my report in "Rich Internet Application" mode. Once the access permissions were granted to my user group. I see the option as highlighted in red below. To view the report in reading mode in BO 4.0 BI Launchpad, you should set the preferences as below:

  • Modifying existing webi report BO 4.0

    Hi Experts,
    In pre-production system I executed webi report, went to Design mode --> Drag & drop a new object to the report. Then by mistake clicked on Save  instead of "save As" This made changes to the original report.
    I have below doubts, pls clarify.
    1.) Will this affect the OLAP connection between report & data source?
    2.) Do I need to made any connection again for this report somewhere?
    3.) Will this affect the original report in production in any manner?
    Thanks.

    1.) Will this affect the OLAP connection between report & data source?
    Since the changes were made only to the WebI report, there won't be any impact on the Connection.
    2.) Do I need to make any connection again for this report somewhere?
    Not needed. As mentioned before there will be no impact on the Connection.
    3.) Will this affect the original report in production in any manner?
    It will only impact if you migrate the report to Production. Revert back the changes in Pre-Prod box if it is small change else just ask the Admin team to do a reverse migration from Prod to Pre-Prod Box

    Hello all,
    After going through the document (link) posted above, it looks like BW 3.X web reports can run without the presence of SAP EP. Is this correct to your knowledge?
    SAP Labs and RIG people told us that EP is a mandatory component of web reporting in NetWeaver 2004s. If this is indeed true, does anyone know what core functionalities EP provides for BW web reports that the BI server (BW) can't do by itself (WAS)?
    Thanks in advance,

  • How to add Tabs and List Boxes in Webi Report in Reporting Area(Not Report Filters & Input Controls)

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to use some components called List Box and Tabs in my WebI report for presenting the information by dynamic dimension and measure selection using list box and segregate information by using Tabs as in below image.
    Image was prepared in MSPaint not executable webi report.
    Is it possible to integrate the list box and tabs into Report Zone in BO Webi? as show in below image?
    Thanks in Advance
    Muralidhar Reddy N

    Hello Muralidhar Reddy,
    The exact tool for your requirement is SAP BO Dashboard or SAP BO Design studio. WebI is a tool for ad-hoc reporting tool and we have limited functionalities to make dashboards using webI. You can have all those chart options in WebI and you can use Input controls or drill filters for restricting data. But you cannot have these selection components in reporting area. Tabs as shown in above post, you can have in bottom of the report.
    find below a good example of dashboard using WebI

  • Data of measure is not seen in  webi report when drill is disabled

    Hi
    i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
    the problem is that  i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
    the object  on which im drilling  is set as a section in the report
    so i have added a measure in the table under that section
    now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
    i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different  measure
    for all other level of drilling
    every thing is working fine but the problem  is
    when i open report in view mode
    the measure data is not seen
    only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
    i have done something like thi
    i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

    Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
    why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

  • Company code restriction for dashboard and webi reports in BOBJ

    Hi Friends,
    We have a requirment where we need to restrict user on company code level in bobj.
    we have some dashborads and webi reports which need to be restricted at company code level, hence i have created a  role in BI and restricted the queries (bex queries) on company code level and same role and user i have imported in BOBJ.
    Now i can see the role and user in BOBJ and also i can login to BILAUNCH PAD with authentication as SAP  But unable to run the webi reports and dashboard hence i have added those reports to this user in bobj and now i can run the reports, but restriction is not working.
    In BI I am able to restrict user  but in bobj its  not restricting. kindly let me know if i am missing anything?
    We are having BO 4.0 SP6.

  • Setting the HTML Web Reports encoding to UTF-8

    Hi,
    We have a problem with web reports (Reports6i with 9ias r1) showing some characters wrong(like the pound/yen symbols). The whole system (database and reports server) runs in UTF-8 characterset, but the web reports dont set any "ecoding=UTF-8" tags in the header section of the generated HTML .. so the users browser doesn't display the html correctly (unless he switches the browser from "Western European" to UTF-8 encoding himself).
    Any way we can force this? i didn't found any way on setting the UTF-8 tag in the report?!
    Cheers, Stefan

    OK. I think I can answer your question. You can change the Apache settings into UTF8 of your Apache Web Server in which you deploy your reports.

  • Link to Child Webi report from Parent Webi report

    Hi All,
    I have child link for webi report in my parent webi report.
    But, when i click on URL for child report, its again asking for logon credentials.
    Is there any way to avoid asking logon credentials, instead it should pick credentials from parent.
    Please reply.
    Thanks,
    Bhanu

    Hi
          If your link contains different host that is, after clicking the link if you want to redirect to another document with another BO server that time you have to supply credential (Login info of this server).
    Case of same server no need to supply credential.
    Thanks
