Open CrystaReport on Business Object Infoview

Hy, i have this problem: i create a crystal report and i publish on particular folder. The problem is when i try to open this report on Business Object Infoview because i receive this error message: Unable to find servers in CMS ..:6400 and cluster @...:6400 with kind cacheserver and service BlockingDocumentConnectionRepository. All such servers could be down or disabled by the administrator. (FWM 01014) [RASLIB9006]
Could you help me?
Thank's a lot.
Sincerely yours,
Andrea Maraviglia

Hello Andrea,
some basic checks:
As already suggested check: Are the server running and enabled in CCM ?
Can you open the CMC ?
Can you open your report in CMC?
Can you open other reports in the CMC ?
Can you open other reprots in Infoview ?
Thanks for keeping us informed

Business Objects InfoView translation (without language pack)

Hello, everyone,
We need to translate SAP BO InfoView interface. The language we require doesn't have native BO language pack.
We discovered a bunch of .properties files, translated them, but not all of the texts was converted.
Maybe someone could give me some advices, or some ideas for solution?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. The report is using an ODBC connection to the Access database that resides on the Business Objects server. It is setup as a System DSN on that box, using the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb) - as the Access db is v2007.
I can run the report on the server using this ODBC connection, and I'm assuming that when I run the report on demand in InfoView, it is using this connection as well. The problem is only presented when I attempt to schedule the report. The datasource is there as well.

Business Objects Infoview 'cms' Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

I was recently notified that we are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. We are using Crystal Enterprise XI R2. I read that we need fix pack 3.5, however i dont know where to find it within SAP. I thought that Service Pack 3 would help but it doesn't appear available to download. Has anyone else talked this vulnerability?

Hi experts,
i checked the permissions at the PCD and everything should be fine.
But what i found out at the moment is that the Business Objects Application does try to change the Browser height and width...for some reasons i don't know.
Well and the portal does not allow this action at the portal browser / content area.
1) The error messages are window.setIframeHeigth :
while (childFrame != parentWin && parentWin.setIframeHeight && parentWin.supportResizeFrameToContent) {
        var x = parentWin.document.body.scrollLeft;
        var y = parentWin.document.body.scrollTop;
        parentWin.setIframeHeight(childFrame.name);
        parentWin.scrollTo(x,y);
        childFrame = parentWin;
        parentWin = childFrame.parent;
2) the other message is Window.document
function findElementById(Id) {
     var mywin = window;
     while (mywin != mywin.parent && mywin.parent && mywin.parent.document) {
          mywin = mywin.parent;
The only way it works now, is when i chosse the option "display at own window" the application is started and can be accessed.
Well, but unfortunal this is not the integration layer i am looking for.. i would like to "integrated" the web application at the portal content area.
Has anybody some other ideas?
Thanks in advantage and beste regards

Label printing problem from Business Object Infoview

Hi,
I got a problem with printing label (roll) from Zebera Label Printer. The label is designed in CR XI which works properly printing from Crystal Report XI and Zebera printer prints labels (more then one labels) without any trouble.
But the same label (report) does not get printed with all its pages (labels) from the same Zebera Label Printer using BO infoview. It prints only one page (1st label) and stops.
It seems that BO infoview takes all the labels converted in pdf as one page. Where I want that each label should be considered as single page.
Any idea?

Thanks Don
Yes the same report is published in the BOE.
From infoview, It prints on the screen eight (8) labels in two column on one A4 size page. While I want to have each label (W=3.9in x H 2.1in) as one page printed. So that, each label can be printed as one page on label printer.
I want to print as pdf format then printing on Label Printer.
Thanks
GJ

Business Object Infoview very slow on my PC

We are using BO XI3.0 on a Windows server with an oracle database on a unix platform.
We have build severall dashboard for data analysis, each one with "interactive metric trend" and multidimensional queries analysis.
We found Infoview very slow to display the performance data and also to run and get the multidimensional queries data. Keep in mind that the DB is not big (less than 100 K of row)
The users are using windows Internet Explorer version 6 for accessing Infoview.
Are there any requirements on the client site such as required RAM or specific version of Java ?
Is there any tool for analysing the infoview performance ?
Thank you.

Can you try increasing you Client Side java virtual memory by setting up following variable.
JAVA_OPTS = -Xmx512m
Also, Check your server performance, It should have enough space on the drive on which BO is installed, also do check memory, you can shutdown unrequired servers, like Dashboard,PM,Desktop INtelligence, Crystal Reports, if you are not going to use it.

Portal logoff not clearing business objects SSO connection

Is there a way to clear the saved SSO information from the business objects session in the background?
The scenerio;
On a computer shared by multiple users
UserA Logs on to the SAP Enterprise portal, navigates to an iview that uses OpenDocument to run an xcelsius dashboard. Single signon works great and dashboard is displayed. This dashboard resfreshes on open and data retrieved is correct based on this users autorizations in BW. The user Clicks the logoff link in the masthead of the Enterprise portal, the portal session and its SAP logon ticket are closed and the Portal logon page is redisplayed.
UserB logs on the the SAP Enterprise portal, navigates to the same iview, the dashboard runs and retireves the data, but the data displayed is based on the BW autorizations for UserA.
I verified that the SSO connection that userB is using to retrieve data is left over from UserA. (I did this by simply opening an InfoView window and it shows the userid of UserA in the Welcome message.
Closing the Browser window between each user login takes care of the problem, but is not really something we can count on our users doing.

Hi Gail,
We are also facing same issue as you had, Integrated BI launchpad with Portal and SSO is working fine via portal. But issue is already opened reports or Business objects will not clearing as you had after log off and lo-gin back.
Can i setup any property to clear the BOBJ cookies or Can i create sap note for logoff option button on BOBJ via portal.
Can you please suggest me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Naveen

Business Objects XI R2 compatibility in AIX 5.3

Hi,
Our project is migrating to a new server and will require to move the Business Objects InfoView to that server. The current server has AIX 5.2 and has the WebSphere 5.1.7 . The new server has AIX 5.3 and has the Websphere 6.1.2.2..
The problem is that we can't install the Business Objects Web Component Adapter in the new server.
Is this a compatibility issue or are we missing some tools that are required?
Thanks guys!

Hi,
Currently, we are running in an AIX 5.2, WebSphere 6.1.0.5, and JDK 1.4.
We are migrating to a new server.
Below is the error message that we are having upon running the WINSTALL.
/<servername>/bobje/DISK_1/setup/patches/patchlevel.sh: invalid patch name: unsupported
AIX: Your system is missing required components:
/<servername>/bobje/DISK_1/setup/patches/patchlevel.sh: invalid patch name: unsupported
If you continue your installation may not work correctly.
Please press Enter to continue...
Patch checking complete
This Business Objects distribution only supports AIX 5.1 and 5.2. (Error: STU 00005)
The new server is an AIX 5.3 server with WebSphere 6.1.2.2 and JDK 1.5.
Do we need to install something on our server prior installing the Web Component Adapter on an AIX 5.3 server? We are installing the WCA of Business Objects in this server which has the WebSphere 6.1.2.2 to use the Business Objects InfoView. Our Business Objects XI R2 services (CMC, PageServer, etc) are already installed on a separate server.
Let me know if there are questions.
Thanks,

Issue with EP KM integration with Business Objects

Hi,
We have integrated BOBJ with EP KM and are able to view the Business object repository (Inbox, MyFavorites & Root Folder) in KM.
The issue is when a webi document is added to My Favourites in Business object Infoview, the same is not reflecting in the EP KM. It takes around 30 mins to show the latest content in KM
Any clue on this.? While configuring BOBJ repository manager in KM, we dont specify any cache or pull mechanism to fetch the latest webi documents from BOBJ. Am I missing some configuration from portal end.?
Thanks,
Siva

Any clue on this. I am still facing this issue and haven't got any work around.

Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4 Infoview and IE9 HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path

Hi There,
When I working in Infoview with IE9 32Bit or 64Bit and I right click on any object i.e Crystal Report, Folder, Webi Report etc. and select properties I get the following Error
HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path /PlatformServices/properties was requested
Has any one got a workaround or a solution for this problem.
Server - BOE XI 3.1 with SP4 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit.
Client PC`s\Laptops - Windows 7 64 bit
Kind Regards,
Frikkie

Dear all,
Seems the issue is browser compatibility ans the below solution may work in your case
HTTP 400 occurs because of URL difference between IE9 and older versions of supported IE. To resolve this issue, this error in Tomcat will be redirected to a HTML script that applies new URL format. Please follow this 3 steps process:
STEP ONE: Solution in InfoViewAppActions Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from InfoViewAppActions folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions\WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
        <error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/httperror_400.htm</location>
    </error-page>
STEP TWO: Solution in AnalyticalReporting Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from AnalyticalReporting folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting \WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/httperror_400.htm</location>

Open Business Objects report with J2SE

Hi, How can I do to open a Business Objects report with J2SE aplicattion?
Thanks,

Depending on the version of Crystal Reports / Business Objects you have, there are Java libraries you can use to connect to the Business Objects Application server. I spent a lot of time on BO's website figuring it out. In the end i only needed a few libraries to connect, and ask the server to print a report. I remember that there was a way to have the server send a pdf as a binary stream, that you could then save as a pdf file and read. You can do a lot more with the SDK, to the extent of creating your own report creation tool. If you would like some specifics, i might be able to find the some of the documentation i used. It all came from the BO website.
Wish i could be more help

Business Object XI R2 - DotNet InfoView is not working

Hi,
I am facing a problem viewing Infoview and the Central Management Console.
I have just installed Business Object XI R2 Server on a Windows 2003 Server with .Net version 2, database is in SQL Server 2005 and when I go to Infoview or the CMC I get the message "page cannot be found".
I can however, get to the pages using the Java versions. I'm guessing this is an IIS or .Net issue - I'm using IIS v.6.
I changed the web.config file in the Web Content folder
from -
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
to
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
Now it is showing me the following error -
Server Error in '/businessobjects/Enterprise115/InfoView' Application.

InfoView Timeout Crystal Report Server 2008 Business Objects 3.1

After two days of digging, poking, prodding and fumbling around in the dark I finally found a method (one that actually works!) to change the timeout period for InfoView. Venkat Patnaik (second message) posted an excellent procedure in a place that is not readily apparent:
/message/8250448#8250448 [original link is broken]
Following his method, my InfoView seems to timeout after about 3 minutes. I am going to play with the settings to see if I can get it dialed in a bit more, but I wanted to post this so there is a thread with a relevant subject so people can find Venkat's excellent post. Thanks Venkat!

Wow I am getting really tired of SAP's constant broken links and moving things around. That link worked great a couple of weeks ago when I posted this message. I did some digging around for that particular thread but I was not able to find it this morning. Maybe it was deleted....
Luckily I documented my procedure for making these changes and I did not stray from Ventak's original procedure except for making paths and such specific to my environment.
Basically the timeout values need to be changed in several places:
1. Stop the TomCat server via the Central Configuration Manager before doing anything else.
2. Modify the web.xml file in each of the following directories:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF\web.xml
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions\WEB-INF\web.xml
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CmcApp\WEB-INF\web.xml
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CmcAppActions\WEB-INF\web.xml
Parameters to change:
***This parameter may not exist in all web.xml files.***

    <context-param>
        <param-name>logontoken.enabled</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value> (Change to false)
    </context-param>

    <session-config>
        
        <session-timeout>20</session-timeout>   (Change to 5)
    </session-config>
3. Modify the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\CMS\Instances\<SERVER NAME> u2013 IdleSessionTimeout=0x927C0 (600000)
The key is a REG_DWORD value and the value is in hexadecimal. Set the timeout value to 90,000 ms u2013 1.5 minutes with the value 0x15F90. You can use other hex values as desired, 90,000 ms worked for me.
4. Restart the TomCat server.
5. Add the following command line parameter to the CrystalManagementServer parameters in the server properties window of the Central Management Console <-failovertimeout 1.5>
6. Restart the CrystalManagementServer via the CMC
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.

Display the login User ID on Header in Business Objects XI R3.1 Infoview

In XI R2 Infoview- the login user ID is displayed on header. However In XI R3.1 infoview- displayed Business Objects Logo on the same place of the Header. We noticed that In BO XI3.1 infoview the login user ID is displayed on header. However the Business Objects logo is displayed on top of the user ID so the user ID is hidden. while Setting the Infoview Application properties in CMC (CMC>Applications>Infoview Application Properties> check Do not display logo) then it will hide the logo and then next login displays the login user ID. Could someone please confirm is it the solution with this configuration or else please help us how to display the user ID on Infoview Header.

Hey,
What you did is exactly correct.
Now you did on XI-R2 and 3.1 right??, whenever you got upgrade to next release of BO version again you have to do the same changing of properties. Which should not be dynamic based on your previous changes on earlier versions.
Thank You!!
