Need help setting up BI Mobility for an iPad

I'm brand new to everything BusinessObjects, as we have just purchased and installed BOE Platform 4.0. I'm trying to get report mobility up and running on an iPad. I have tried to follow the steps in the 403 Guide, but got stuck on the step "Creating an SAP BI URL."
It says to create a URL that lets users have this pre-populated parameters for a connection, it needs to be in this format:
sapbi://addconnection?name=<ConnectionName>&server_url=<ServerName/IP:Port>&cms=
<ServerName/IP:Port>&authType=<AuthenticationType>&default=<yes/no>&user=<User
Name>&password=<UserPassword>&save_password=<yes/no>
My questions are:
1. Where do I even type in the above config string to generate the pre-configured connection?
2. One of the parameters in the config statement is "server_url". What is that, and how do I generate/locate the server_url for my system.
Sorry if these questions are overly basic, but I've got to start somewhere! Thanks for any help you can provide!
Dustin

Hi Dustin ,
I guess your query is already answered in the page you viewed your URL.
The URL needs to be put in the browser window on your ipad.
Also, the serverurl simply means the servername or ip address of your BO machine with port number as 8080(tomcat default) while for cms= servername and cms port (6400)
Select the authentication type default (enterprise)
Regards,
Atul

NEED HELP FINDING THE RIGHT APP FOR MY IPAD!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M TRYING TO FIND A APP FOR MY IPAD THAT YOU CAN TYPE A LETTER OR PRESENTATION THEN CLICK PRINT AND IT WILL GO TO A WIRELESS PRINTER!!!!!!

There are a large number of word processing programs available. A simple app store search in the productivity section will bring up a wide range, from Docs2Go to Pages and many in between. There are also simple text editors, such as Elements and others which are cheaper, but not as full featured.
For printing, you need an HP printer that supports AirPrint. No special app on the iPad will allow you to print to any printer, just to those that are AirPrint enabled.
Being on a PC, I don't know of any other printing options. If you have a Mac available, you can install Printopia, and print wirelessly to any printer your Mac can print to.

Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I need help setting Win7 Advanced attributes for the USB drive connected to my EA4500 router

I can drill down to the Permission Entry for [foldername] window for a folder on the USB drive. There I learn that user group Everyone does not have the Full Control permission box checked. When I check the box and then click Apply, I get an Error Applying Security window. If I click Continue there, I get a Windows Security window that says "Unable to save permission changes on [foldername]. Access is denied." with no way out but an OK button.
I have Administrative authority in Win7, but maybe I need to know some Unix voodoo to come to terms with my router-mounted drive. I put the drive on the router to make always available, and I'd like to get it to work. For example, I can't turn the archive bit off for any file or folder on that drive when it's mounted on the router. Not with ATTRIB -A and not with XCOPY /M.
Just to stuff it in my face, XCOPY /M returns a two-line error message for every sub-folder that exists in the target folder:
Access denied
Unable to create directory - foldername
Help! And thanks in advance.
:+)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bill Dennes,
(Solutions/Work-Arounds below this paragraph, but sets up some useful information.)
As for the Security tab, I'm unsure of exactly why it doesn't appear on the tab itself for folders; however, clicking "Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit" will display the permissions; although, this doesn't appear to be a part of the problem in a sense. Additionally, “Everyone” always only has read & execute and is also not a part of the issue. To go further with this, the only users that have delete permission are “0” and “root” and since we can delete, we “should” be logged in as one of them and as such have “Full Control.”
As for the drive type, I'm unsure of why it "changes" it from FAT32 to NTFS (probably something to do with how it handles permissions); however, this is also not a part of the issue.
I have a flash drive formatted to FAT32, albeit only a 4GB and on an EA6500 with secure sharing enabled, that it does these both to and "xcopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m" works on it when all files and folders have the A attribute; however, disabling secure sharing makes it fail.
I’ve looked further into this and there are three ways I know of, as of right now, to make copying files with the bat file work for you:
The first way is to enable secure sharing and map the drives using it, once that is done you won’t need to enter the password again and your script will work as you currently have it coded. Given you have no need for the secure sharing, but it’s a simple solution. This is also the only way to be able to modify any attributes, although the only ones I know of that it will accept are R and A.
The second way is to instead use ROBOCOPY with the options /e, /m, and /copy:dt.
For example: "robocopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m /copy:dt"
/e = Copy subdirectories, including empty ones. (or use /S which will not copy empty folders)
/m = Copy only files with the Archive attribute and reset it.
/copy:dt = Copy data and timestamps, does not copy attributes, security, owner info, or auditing info.
The only important option to use is /copy:dt, the others can be replaced with whatever you need. Note that things like Song Author will still get copied as they are a part of the data section. I don’t believe XCOPY supports doing this, and in either case robocopy is a better solution that comes with Windows Vista and up, and can be gotten for those below Vista.
The third way is to add a section to the script to remove attributes from all folders before using xcopy to copy to the NAS, or modify the section that is causing the folders to have the A attribute as xcopy will gladly still copy them with /E or /S enabled.
The issue seems to be that when secure sharing is off, the server refuses attribute changing of folders, which is what is causing XCOPY to fail, as I suspect it attempts to change the attributes on the folders. Similarly, using robocopy without /copy:dt will also fail but gives you “Error 5 … changing file attributes [folder/path] Access is denied”. This is why I suspect that when XCOPY says “unable to create directory” that it is actually trying to change the attributes of the directory. Furthermore, it seems that the reason this works while secure sharing is on is that while it is on, the server pretends to accept the attributes but in reality ignores all attributes besides R. The server then adds the A attribute to all files put onto it, which you can only modify when secure sharing is enabled for some reason. The exception to this is that in either case, any file with the “H” (hidden) attribute, will not be copied, even if explicitly told to copy it. (This is true for both robocopy and xcopy; you also cannot manually add it afterwards.)
Is there an issue with the files on the NAS having the A attribute? If so the only way I currently know of to get rid of it is to enable secure sharing and have the script remove the attribute after copying. For example, when you look at the permissions, the user "0" and “root” have full control as I've previously stated. You can tell Windows to specifically use one of them when mapping the drive, which in turn should give you full control; however, the server still refuses modifying attributes without secure sharing on for some strange unknown reason. Although, I am no "UNIX gearhead," so there may in fact be another way that I do not know of. The only time they are not listed as “Full Control” on my end is when a file was previously marked Read-Only, in which case they all share the same limited control. When I said in the beginning that the permissions are not a part of the problem in a sense, it’s more of that for the general case of what you need to do, they aren’t the problem as long as you don't need the R attribute and having the A isn't an issue, as it seems to be more of the server is refusing attributes even though we should have permission; however, they do appear to be a bit weird and are possibly displaying incorrect when secure sharing is disabled.
I'd like to apologize in advance for any unclear, weirdly stated, or just plain odd things said in this post as I was pulled away to do a bunch of things and ended up editing, adding things, and finishing it late into the night and hope that one of the above is an acceptable resolution to your issue.

I need Help setting up port forwarding for my foscam FI8910W.

I am currently on Mac OS X 10.7.5. My ISP is verizon FIOS and I have an Actiontec MI424WR router with the wireless turned off. I have an AirPort Extreme running from the actiontec router for my wireless network. First of all I need to know if I should plug the Foscam into the actiontec router or the Airport Extreme? Then I need to know if I should set up the port forwarding on the Actiontec or the Airport Extreme. Lastly I need detailed instructions on how to set up the port forwarding. Hopefully someone has a solution. Thanks

OK, and what sort of help do you need?

Need help setting up Mac server for dental practice?

My dentist is running windows server 2003 and wants to do a total upgrade to Apple server components. The issue is that the software his office uses for patient records is not Mac compatible. He is really set on the Mac environment and is curious if he can run the software on a Mac running Windows and I guess my question is the same. I don't have the specifics on the software he needs to run but from what he says it is fairly low overhead and handles some large jpeg files but mostly small data files.
I am curios how difficult the task of migrating all the info into the Mac environment will be? He is also curious about remote access from home or wherever he needs to get to his info and am curious if a VPN or other method is best.
Thanks

Ok, I am a sucker. I will bite.
The answer is yes. OS X and OS X Server can run Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels of VMWare (or virtual box, or Crossover, or... you get my point). This will allow you to run Mac hardware with Mac software but at the same time run Windows and the required applications.
But, there is a cost penalty here. First, there is the cost of the hardware. Not a big deal, Apple is competitive in price and the server hardware is very nice. Then there is the cost of Windows and the VM software. This is your tax. You have to add these costs on top of what you are already buying and then there is the hidden cost of the additional support. You are now supporting two operating systems, OS X and Windows. And just because Window is running on a Mac does not make it immune to viruses/spyware/trojans/etc.
If this guy really wants to go the Mac route, then go all Mac. Check out http://www.macpractice.com/mp/dds/ or http://www.macdentpro.com/index.php or do a search. There are a number of products that can handle dental practices on Macs, including the radiology aspect. Google is your friend.
As for remote access, OS X Server has a VPN built in that works well. That is not a problem. Or you can get a dedicated VPN appliance to handle security. Once bit of advice. Make sure you implement a good backup solution. Don't be foolish and think that TIme Machine alone is going to save you. This is medical records. Do not mess with them. Spend the dollars to properly harden the environment and ensure record retention policies are met.
Hope this helps

"it's always DNS" - Need Help setting network/DNS settings for MacMini Serv

Well, I must admit defeat and ask for help. I've set up an Xsan or 2, but for the life of me cannot set up my mac mini server. My basic two problems seem to be these:
1) Service Order in System Preferences/Network
I want to run my private LAN through Ethernet, using a 10.1.17. IP range, and use my Airport Extreme Base Station (Technically a Time Capsule) for the Public ISP 192.168.1 DHCP service. Cannot get both to work. The only way I can get the server to work and to be able to login using Open Directory is to either set the Ethernet as Primary for both my client and server, in which case there is no internet service AT ALL for either. I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with either DNS or a few extra DNS entries in the ethernet or airport categories, but for the life of me I cannot find the right combination. Is there any way to have BOTH Ethernet LAN and Airport internet service?
2) Related to the first question, I think, is that my local FQDN (not registered, just meant for internal LAN use only right now) and DNS name only show up to my client computer in Server Admin, Directory Utility, Workgroup Manager if I DISABLE my airport card. Otherwise, they come up as <servername>.local and not the FQDN <servername>.editdog.com, and I cannot login using OD.
3) I'm not sure what happend to the Binding I used to have to do in OSX Server 10.5, but maybe that's the issue? I have the Peachpit OSX Server Essentials Book, and it's been less than helpful.
Any ideas out there?

I need help setting up Lightroom 4 for tethered capture, to a Canon 5dMkIII, for a class I am teaching.

Searching and can't find the needed plugin. Lightroom support is kinda sketchy.

Thanks. The update helped, however it's still very buggy. Only hitting about a 20% success rate of LR loading the capture image and lots of "busy" messages in the camera. I'm doing some maintenance on the laptop, clearing some memory, etc. and hopefully that will help.

Need help setting up 0404 PCIe for SPDIF in/out

Hello,
I had previously been using an M-Audio card but have moved to the Emu 0404 b/c M-Audio doesn't support PCIe yet only PCI.
Anyway, I am trying to make simple connnections and find the Patchmix very confusing. I don't want to use any of the DSP effects since I have excellent plugins in my DAW software.
All I want to do is have SPDIF L/R going from my Mytek Stereo 96 AD into my DAW and SPDIF L/R going out to my JBL monitors which have built in DA conversion.
So far I have not been able to get any sound at all from my Reaper projects, just trying to play them back at this point not even trying to record anything new yet.
Any suggestions? I've tried putting sends on the tracks etc but still can't get any sound to my monitors and the SPDIF outputs don't show up in my DAW software routing matrix...
Thanks

Well it looks like I've got more troubles. Reading the 0404 users manual last night there is a sentence there that says "The SPDIF inputs and outputs are usable at 44.1, 48 and 96khz." This is pretty much a dealbreaker for me since everything I've recorded for the past 2 years is at 24/88.2 and it's my preferred sample rate going forward.
Does anyone know of a PCIe interface with SPDIF in/out that supports the 88.2khz sampling rate?

HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

Teresa,
I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.
