Organize BO Explorer Information Spaces in folders

Hello,
Is it possible to organize information spaces in the BO Explorer? Currently all the Information Spaces are appearing in the home page. Is it possible to group/organize them into folders? We are on XI 3.1
Thanks
krishna

Hi,
Grouping Information Spaces in the home page is not possible in 3.x and 4.0.x versions.
And currently it is not planned for 4.1 version.

Exporting visualizations from Lumira to Explorer Information Spaces

When I export a visualization from Lumira to an Explorer Information Space, does it export data to the BO server as well? That is, can I then use that Explorer Information Space without needing either the Lumira Cloud or a Lumira HANA server at the backend?

A possible use case is that you manipulate data in Lumira and want to expose that to others via Mobile BI (Explorer works very well with Mobile); You could also do this in Lumira Cloud
It used to be Explorer was the path to Mobile BI but that sort of changed when Lumira Cloud came out.

Business Objects Explorer Information Space Home Screen Customization

Is it possible to customize the display of the list of Information Spaces on the Home screen of Business Objects Explorer such as to sort ascending or descending? Now it's shown as the order when they were created.

Thanks for your response. I'm looking for a way to make a setting change so when the home screen is displayed, the list of Information Spaces will be sorted without the user having to click it Also, is there a way to change some of the default setting of top 10, etc.

Alias names for dimensions in BO 4.0 Explorer (Information Space)

Hello,
I have a requirement to add 15 dimensions and 2 measures in an information space. Each dimension has alias names. Example, buyer is a dimension which can be also be called purchasing group, Pgroup, Employee etc. I know it is possible to rename the dimensions. But is there any way to assign alias names to dimensions either in the universe or in information space? So when a user types Pgroup and hits the search button in explorer, he/she should find a match in the information space where buyer is a dimension.
Also, is there any limit in adding dimensions to an information space? Can I add upto 15 dimensions?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi there
In the Universe, you can have objects with a different name that point to the same database table/field name. From your example below, you could have both the Purchasing Group and Employee dimension pointing to the same database table.field. You should be able to add 15 (and more) dimensions to your Information Workspace-- I haven't seen any documentation on the maximum number of dimensions out there.
Just keep in mind that as you add more dimensions/facets, users may get a scroll bar and will need to scroll across to see then.
Hope this helps!

Row Level Security from Universe to BOBJ Explorer Information Space

Hi Experts,
             We have got a Universe using Sql Server Database and had designed Row Level Security to restrict managers data only to manager who ever log on (@BOUSER), Directors data based on who ever log on(@BOUSER).......
          The above logic is working fine when designing Webi / Deski reports but when I create a BOBJ Explorer Infospace , I log on with my profile as Manager which brings me data relevant to me only, but when other Manager log on to Polestar and use same Infospace the @BOUSER security is not working to bring his own data and it is showin my manager id data to other manager.
    Requirement: 1 Infospace for Managers and 1 Infosapce for Director's.
                           who ever logon's and uses same infospace from manager's group or Director's group they should see only
                            their data and not aother manager / director data.
Thanks,
Raju

THis is a known issue. Should be solved in BO Explorer XI 3.1 SP2.

PS 50301 error - No Registered Index Version for Information Space

Hi there,
I'm facing an issue with the "SAP Explorer Information Space". When I try to open the Information Space, it opens fine but when its about to load, an error message appears. "It is not possible to open Information Space. Can't load the Information Space Index. (PS 50301)"
When I click "Show Details", it displays:
"No registered index version for information space"
I'm seeing this error message after updating BO 4.0 SP4 to BO 4.0 SP6.
I did try to index the information space but it fails.
So basically the question is why did this update from BO 4.0 SP4 to BO 4.0 SP6 impact the Explorer Information Space?
Environment details:
BO 4.0 SP6 on Windows 2008 Server using Oracle 10g as back-end.
Front End: using Windows 7, Mozilla Firefox, Internet explorer.
Error Message:
Explorer Indexing Error after I tried to Index this:

The way this was solved was, I created 4 new explorer services in CMC.
1- Explorer Exploration Server
2- Explorer Indexing Server
3- Explorer Master Server
4- Explorer Search Server
After creating the new ones and running them, I deleted the old ones. Then I Indexed the Information Space and everything seemed fine.

Explorer error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list." from HANA

I am getting this dumb error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list. // Request timed out" in Explorer's "Manage Spaces" area every time I click on the analytic view listed under my HANA sources of the Explorer. So, my HANA source is visible, and analytic views are visible in Explorer as well, but I cannot get any Information Space created because of the error, and I could not find the error and its causes in Explorer docs.
I already
- upgraded HANA db to Rev 18 (for some reasons I cannot u[grade this system to SPS3 yet) and BIP and Explorer 4.0 are on the latest Patch 8 of SP2.
- configured connection using IDT defined connection,
- restarted servers in CMS already 100s of times.
There is enough free space on the BO server's drive: 33GB. BO is a single server based on Win2008 R2 SP1 with 40GB RAM.
Any ideas what else I can do to get rid of this issue? It is a test server, so I cannot open customer msg to SAP Support.
Thanks,

Try increasing the timeout under

from

Information space creation error in BOBJ Explorer

while creating the information space i am getting the following error
Failed to retrieve the data source details.
The creation of the data source object tree failed.
Cannot perform this operation: no valid license found
Looks like a license key issue, but while installing the BOBJ Explorer setup does not asked for any license key,
How to solve this error? How to get the license key and how can i update the license key information?
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi all,
The problem has been solved, I added all the license keys to the CMC server and then the problem got solved.

Create Information Space (BO Explorer) on SAP BW Query

Hi experts,
I try the following, but it doesn't work.
I build a universe on a SAP BW query. Then I export the universe to access with BO Explorer and create an information space. The information space exist of two characters and one keyfigure. When I start my query in BEx Analyzer I get some hundreds of results. But when I explore the information space in BO Explorer I get only one result, like I get one result in transaction list cube without selecting a character. It aggregates the whole datasets into one.
But what is the error, because I'd like to explorer through the data in information space? Is there a special way to design the universe or to set up the information space?
Thanks in advance.
Greets Nico

Hey,
here it is. I proudly presents the solution.
Just use the right object in the OLAP universe. The universe designer creates the object L00 and L01 for each character. The right way is to use the L01 object. Here you have the possibility to the select the values. Otherwise, if you use L00 object you only have the aggregation of the character.
I read it once in the manuals but didn't checked it.

Unable to access information spaces and Exploration View Sets

I have run into a problem.   we had a Business intelligence server setup as a proof of concept for analyzing data. This was done by a 3rd party company and we no longer can use them as a resource.
Originally we were unable to view the information spaces and exploration views, unless the user is part of the administrators group.   I have been attempting to have a view only group created that would allow access.
now i am getting the following error when trying to open an explorer view set (The view sets show in a list).
Failed to open the exploration view set
Can't load the information space. (PS 50300)
Failed to retrieve the exploration space 'cb06755b-7fab-4a21-b1ba-a41389bd5f59'.
This happens with all accounts.   Administrators group, built in administrator account and the everybody group.
We are using AD Authentication only on this server.
does anyone know what might have happened to remove access to the information spaces?

I can't seem to find where this workspace lives.
I am very new to Business Intelligence (3 Months)
I went to manage spaces in Explorer but there isn't anything there that points to the reports that i need to index.
here is what i am trying to have show.

Windows Explorer Refuses to Open Folders In Same Window

I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. Under Organize->Folder and Search Options->Browse folders I have the radio button, "Open each folder in the same window" checked. However, Vista refuses to do so and opens each folder in its own window. This does not work well for me because I end up with tons of open windows and its a pain to close them. This behaviour just started. Yesterday it did not do this. This is a fresh install with only Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2005, Expression Studio 2, Adobe CS3 and InstallAware installed.
Also worth noting is that if I right click on a folder, the default action of Open is in bold. If I click it then it will open the folder in the same window. However, every time I double click it opens a new window.
Please help as I really don't want to have to switch to a third party file management tool over this.
Thanks!

Guys,
This problem has been driving me nuts for weeks now. I've cruised this and several other forums, and tried every damn "fix" out there.
WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM (All updates applied)
I've done registry edits, registered .dll files, changed folder option settings back and forth, uninstalled software, re-installed software, etc, etc.. Ad nauseam. (I
don't have IE8 or Source Gear Vault) Although both of these seem to come up often in these discussions.
I bumbled into something on one these forums, and ** I FOUND THE SOLUTION!**
It is very easy to do
Presumably SAFE (It comes from Microsoft)
I suggest you bookmark this site for future use. (I did, and plan on using it for some of my clients computers
when having weird problems)
Go to this web site: http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
Then, in section 2 click on "Use desktop features, or open programs and files"
In the window below will be a list of solutions. Simply "Run Now" the one called : Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically
After running the "fixit" my problem of a new window opening all the time in Windows Explorer went away! Worked perfect!
Ps. In my Browser rather than running when I clicked "Run", it downloaded the file. So I ran it locally. No big deal, they suggest doing that anyway if you need the file to run on a computer that is not online. When I ran the program I chose
the second option, which is to NOT fix the problem automatically, but to see a list of repair options first. (rather than choosing to repair automatically)
My results were two things:
Rebuild my icon cache (didn't really have troubles with that anyway)
Repair folder options
I decided to let it "fix" both problems, even though I haven't had any problems with icons. After the program finished (about 20 sec) I checked and no longer had the problem of a new window opening in explorer, however the acid test was going to be will
it continue to work properly after I re-boot. Guess what? PROBLEM WAS FINALLY SOLVED!
Anyway, I hope this works for any of you guys too. I see that "some" of these other solutions worked for some of you, but none of them worked for me until I ran the "FIXIT" program from Microsoft. There is also a
ton of other AUTOMATIC FIXIT's on the site for various other computer problems. I hope they all work as well as this one did! (I'll try to post this in some of the other forums, but feel free to do so yourself)
Good luck everyone.....

HI all,
Environment:
BO BI - Explorer 4.1 SP3/SP4
IE 11, Firefox 31

I would like to promote information space to LCMBIAR.
I have a link between two information spaces, when i try to add object and click on add & close, explorer send me an error : "Failed to get dependencies of the job.(PRS 00048)". So i just add it and then close but when i go to manage dependencies, there isn't any dependencies.
Now if i just add the two information spaces in the promotion management and go to manage dependencies. Only one of them have dependencies and not the other. How can i find all the dependencies of my two information spaces.
Thanks a lot,
Regards.

Hi,
Check if mentioned SAP note is relevant to you.
