Number of reports/instances in a BOE XI R2 environment

Is there any tool, BusinessObjects or third-party, that can list a total number of reports and/or report instances in a specific environment.
My goal is to get an idea of which one of our client folders has the most reports, and more specifically which is taking up the most space on in the file-repository.
Any ideas?

Hi David,
In order to find the total numbers of reports in the Enterprise fire the following query from the Query Builder tool.
SELECT
Count(SI_ID)
FROM
CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE
SI_KIND = u2018CrystalReportu2019
The queries above will return the total count of the CR reports which are present in the Enterprise.
In case you would like to find the WebI Or DeskI reports reports then use the following in the where clause respectively SI_KIND = u2018webiu2019 and SI_KIND = u2018fullclientu2019
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Prashant

Question about the number of ERS instances in a dual-stack MCS environment

Hello to the group.
I have a simple question for those running a NetWeaver 7.0 (i.e. 2004s) dual stack (ABAP/JAVA) setup in an MCS environment. On each individual node, do you have two separate ERS processes running on the node (as seen in Task Manager) that is opposite to the system running the ASCS/SCS instances? If so, do you have a set of profiles for each of these ERS processes (I am guessing that is true)?
Thanks in advance for your help.
J. Haynes

Has anyone found a good description of the process that runs after one node fails over to another one? help.sap.com mentions that the ASCS will restart and run the command enstatus.cmd but I cannot find what is supposed to happen after that. Is the ERS service itself stopped?
Thanks
J. Haynes

Error while trying to view report instances

Application: BO XI 3.1
Crystal Reports 2008
While in BOE Infoview, users sometimes receive "Internal Error. Please contact system administrator" message as they try to view the report instances (from History tab and/or trying to refresh report). This seems to happen intermittently since sometimes users can run/view the reports as they log out of Infoview and log back in and it works normally again OR wait for a few minutes. THis is very strange and quite annoying having users log out and in all the time and sometimes they can't view the report instances or try to refresh the report with new parameters....Anyboy has experience with this type of behavior?
Thanks!

Do you have any service packs and/or fix packs installed?
What is the sizing of your BOBJ server environment(number of servers, memory etc)?

How to pick up the latest report instance of a schedueld report

Hi,
I am supporting a custom application (.NET), which has to pick up the latest report instance by accepting the Report ID.
At times, the application does seems to be pick up the wrong (older) instance. This is not happening all the times but certain reports behaves this way once a while.
This is how the application seems to be determining the latest instance.
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report'
AND SI_INSTANCE_OBJECT = 1
AND SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 1
AND SI_PARENTID= '" + id + "'
ORDER BY SI_ID DESC
Once the above statement returns all the available instances it just pick up the very first instance and returns it back to the application and it gets displayed through the Report Viewer.
My question here is that, does this order (ORDER BY SI_ID DESC) will always return me the latest instance first? When I manually verify the instance ID, it seems to be getting incremented eventhough it is a random number.
When I review the InfoView code, which also seems to be doing the same thing I have found that it is using SI_UPDATE_TS instead of SI_ID.
Could someone please tell me which is the correct one to use? I tried by could not able to find references anywhere.
Environment: BO XI R2 - SP2

Jason,
Thanks for the info. The query builder o/p and the application o/p are the same. When this situation happened last time I just simply deleted those older instances from the history and left only the current one.
This has forced the query to return the only available instance, which is the current one.
My suspect here is that, the SI_ID of a new instance is smaller than the older instance...
for example,
Instance 1 - 10023
Instance 2 - 12344
Instance 3 - 9892
Is this possible?? Since I have deleted the older instances I have no way to confirm this case unless it happens again.
The BO documentation about SI_ID reads like this...
"This property is used to uniquely identify an object. The number is assigned at creation time, and is never changed until the object is destroyed. You should never hard-code this number, however, since if the object is destroyed the number may be assigned to another object. No two objects have the same ID, even if they are different types of objects; that is, you will never find a report that has the same ID as a folder."
As it claims that an ID can be re-used if the object is destoryed I assume that though the new ID will be unique there is no guarantee that it will be bigger than the previous instance of the same object.
But the problem is that I dont have a documentation proof to claim this hence asking help from the guru's here...

Elan.

BOMM - Metadata manager busobj.exe process limit number of report processed

Hello,
We're facing the following problem, we have a BOMM setup which is running flawless for universes and webi reports. But we have a huge amount (+8000) Deski reports all stored in the same folder.
While the integrator is processing the Deski reports at a certain point in time it goes wrong, we found out that to process the Deski reports BOMM launches a busobj.exe process which uses 2 GB of RAM at the moment the integrator stalls. The integrator does not give an out of memory error, it just stops processing and seems to timeout.
What I am now looking for is a parameter that can limit the number of Deski reports processed by the busobj.exe process, before it is terminated to free up the memory. We thought that the pplimit parameter would do just that, but it is not.
In the log we see all kinds of parameters, but there's very little information about what they do. These are arguments for which we would like to get some more information:
- maxSelect (defaults to 1000000)
- mtc
- ppc (number of concurrent jobs, but this seems not to influence the number of busobj sessions)
- pplimit
- ptc
our setup:
BOE = 3.1 SP2.5
BOMM Version: 12.1.0.6
Kind regards
Guy

Thank you Manoj,
This was already helpful, it confirmed our thoughts about the parameters.
I can not confirm your first comment about the fact that the busobj process closes after eacht report, I've monitored the processing on the server and during the run of the integrator the same busobj process was active (same PID).
Currently we try to process 100 reports at a time by manipulating the date modified on our dev enivronment by checking the reports in scope out and back in, and then starting the integrator.
The reports average around 200KB in size and none of them is set to refresh on open. Base on the logs it takes around 1 minute to process a single report. Depending on the fact if it is processing the associated universes or not. Disk space is not the issue.
I noticed similar behaviour when we used a VBA-script to feed our own mm, and I had to write code to limit the number of reports processed by the busobj process to around 100. I did this by closing the busobj process after 100 reports and then start a new batch of 100 reports in a new busobj process. I think busobj does not cleanup after closing the report, and with every report opened within the same process the memory usage of the process grows, until it reaches 1.8 GB and then the process just hangs.
I can open cases, if you can tell me on how to make sure it reaches you I'll just create one. Do you already have a release date for the fixpack you are talking about?
Regards
Guy

Filtering data in historic report instances

My goal is to filter data in a managed report instance without refreshing it. But I am having issues even viewing an instance. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 Server and the RAS API. Code below displays reports fine (i.e. SI_INSTANCE=0) but not report instances (i.e. SI_INSTANCE=1).
Approach 1, Use reportSource from PSReportFactory:
//Here is my query:
String reportQuery = "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS " + "WHERE SI_NAME = '" + report.getName() +
"' AND SI_KIND = '" + CeKind.CRYSTAL_REPORT + "' AND SI_INSTANCE = 1";
// Here I grab the latest report instance
IInfoObjects reports = iStore.query(reportQuery);
IInfoObject oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) reports.get(0);
IReportSourceFactory factoryPS = (IReportSourceFactory)es.getService("PSReportFactory");
Object reportSource = factoryPS.openReportSource((oInfoObject), getLocale());
// Here I prep and attempt to display
viewer.setReportSource( reportSource );
viewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos( newDBConnectionInfos() );
viewer.setEnableLogonPrompt( false );
viewer.setBestFitPage(true);
viewer.setOwnPage(false);
viewer.processHttpRequest();
processHttpRequest above throws:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Invalid job number.---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal
Approach 2, use ReportClientDocument from RASReportFactory...
// Same query as above:
String reportQuery = "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS " + "WHERE SI_NAME = '" + report.getName() +
"' AND SI_KIND = '" + CeKind.CRYSTAL_REPORT + "' AND SI_INSTANCE = 1";
// Here I grab the latest report instance
IInfoObjects reports = iStore.query(reportQuery);
IInfoObject oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) reports.get(0);
IReportAppFactory raf = (IReportAppFactory)es.getService("RASReportFactory");
ReportClientDocument rcd = raf.openDocument(oInfoObject, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly, getLocale());
// Here I prep and attempt to display
viewer.setReportSource(rcd.getReportSource());
This approach throws an exception from
raf.openDocument()
with error:
Cannot open report document. --- Item SI_NEWOBJECT was not found in the collection.
Of these approaches I prefer the second as I can potentially filter the data.
Any ideas or help greatly appreciated as I am new to crystal reports.

Good call Ted, and thanks for the reply! I had a bunch of Failed instances and it was choking on a failed one.
Now that I have identified a successful instance, I'm having trouble displaying the historical report data.
When I attempt to display using the PSReportFactory, from first approach above, it displays the report but I
don't get historic data, i.e. it is refreshing from the database. Of course historic data display works in the
CMC so I'm sure it must be possible. How can I get the viewer to show the data as it was when the report
was run?
Also, using the preferred RASReportFactory, from second approach, I get the following exception:
ReportSDKServerException: Failed to retrieve initial report values. For example, the database information for this report could be incomplete or
incorrect. This is a configuration problem. Please contact your system administrator.---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
This seems odd as I am passing the database logon infos to the viewer, and it works the other way:
viewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos( newDBConnectionInfos() );
viewer.setEnableLogonPrompt( false );
Any ideas about how I can get it to work this way?
Thanks,
--Jeff.

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

Incorrect date format on report instance

Hi,
I have a problem (well a question) relating the the instance detail information behind a report instance in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI3.1 SP2 FP2.5. On one of my servers I can view the history of a report thorough InfoView and then select the link in the 'Status' colum. This displays the 'Instance details' page. On this page the 'Creation Time', 'Expiry', etc. are shown in the format dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss. But, on my other server the same page shows these records as 'mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss'.
I suspect that there is a server setting to be made somewhere, but where?
Any ideas please?
Mike

Hello,
Found it. I run my SIA under a service account and not a user account. This service account was using the wrong Regional settings. When changed to the correct Regional settings the reports showed the dates in the correct format.
Thanks for looking.

Hello Gokul,
first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.

Crystal Report Server XI recurring report instance is not viewable

I have scheduled a report to be run every morning, and each instance return status is "success". However, I encountered the following problem when I try to view instances of the report: There is a long time period of waiting (seems to be waiting for some kind of timeout), and then eventually the message: "A request was cancelled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server."
I also noticed that in event viewer (windows server 2003) I see many failure audits to login to the sql database, and the events contain the login used in my data source.
It's interesting to note, that when I run a single instance of the report "Now" there is no problem.
Some info about the report which may be relevant:
The report uses 2 formula fields to auto-parameterize 2 of the 5 parameters used by a subreport. The other 3 subreport parameters are set when scheduling the report.
The subreport uses a call into a stored procedure in a MS SQL server 2005 database to retrieve its records.
The 2 fields which are parameterized are datetime fields (StartTime, EndTime), and the main report is basically just a wrapper to only show the previous day.
JDBC data source to local Sql server instance.
Also, the crystal report server XI install uses the same sql server instance to store CMS data under a separate database.
I'm stumped on this.
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Is there a simpler way to auto-parameterize the report?
Why are the failure audits occurring when I view the instance of the report? Is this because the instance is setup to use RPT output format?
Are there logs I can look into aside from event viewer? I can't find anything that looks relevant under program files, but perhaps I missed something.
The failure audits would make more sense to me if it occurred with the other report instances, but some instances are shown correctly, and some just do this timeout thing.

Hello AV,

Batch Number Transaction Report

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to modify the form settings of Batches table in Batch Number Transaction Report as I need to add in some user-defined fields into it?
Below is the layout of my Batches table in the report:
Batches
#   Item No   Item Description   Batch   WhsCode   Qty   Status   Manufacturing Date
and I would like to add in Width, Length & Height columns in the table.
I can't preset the value of length, width & height of the item in Item Master Data because different batches of same item will have different length, width & height. So I created these fields (Width, Length, Height) in Goods Issue & Goods Receipt and assigned different values there. After that, I need to do some references at Batch Number Transaction Report to find out which batches got the specified measurement of that item.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sachin. I think you have misunderstood what I mentioned before.
I want the report to show like this
Item No.   Item Description              Batch   WhsCode   Qty   Direction   Status        T     W        L
A893S     Pine 14 x 125 x 1030mm          A123    WH01       100   In        Released   14   125    1030
A893S     Pine 14 x 125 x 1030mm          A123    WH01       -10 Out       Released     14   125    1030
A126B     Ash 14 x 125 x 1090mm          J123     WH01        50   In         Released   14   125    1090
In fact, below is the result table that I get
Item No.   Item Description                Batch   WhsCode   Qty   Direction   Status        T     W        L
A893S     Pine 14 x 125 x 1030mm            A123    WH01       100   In           Released   14   125    1030

using this query

case when T0.[Direction]=0 then 'In' when T0.[Direction]=1 then 'Out' end Direction,

Is it possible to deploy 2 SCOM 2012 R2 reporting in a SQL server which already has SCOM reporting of a different management group but with 2 different reporting instance.

Hi Experts,
I have a typical situation in the LAB environment. Hope some one helps. I have Installed a SCOM 2012 R2 with SQL 2012 SP1 in a single server (Management group 1). I have installed another management group on another server using this SQL server for its database
so i have everything going fine.
The first management group has its reporting installed in the SQL server. For the second i created a new named instance for that. But i cannot run the SCOM setup in the SQL server (Also holding the Management group 1 MS) as 1 st reporting is already there.
When i run the setup it is asking me to repair it. I don't get the install option so i can install the reporting for management group 2 in the named instance.
Default instance is being used by the 1st management group.
Can any one figure a possibility for installing 2 SCOM reporting services for different management groups in a same SQL 2012 server please.
Gautam.75801

Hi Yan Li,
Thank you for the reply. So as you are aware If i need to instal reporting, i need to run the SCOM 2012 R2 setup in the SQL server and select reporting and select the
instance and then mention the management server there right. I am not getting that option there it is asking me to remove or repair the existing installation as there is already a SCOM entire setup including reporting there. As it is a lab there is no problem
in testing. I have 2 reporting instances. Any suggestions for me on how to overcome this issue and deploy the second reporting in the new named instance ?
Below is the screenshot of the error what i am talking about when i run SCOM 2012 R2 setup to install reporting in the SQL server
When i click on add feature reporting is greyed out (As already 1st management groups reporting is installed)
When i click on remove or repair it
uninstalls the existing one. But i want both SCOM 2012 r2 reporting to be there(For both Management group). Is it possible ? If yes What is the trick to run the setup ?
