Problem scheduling webi reports with XI3.1 pending forever

Hello,
I've got a problem scheduling webi reports with XI3.1 scheduler.
After confiming scheduling job (loggin in with "administrator" user), status remains "pending" forever(using Infoview or CMC).
I tried different job recurrence a modalities (attachment formats, destination user etc).
I also try to add (-javaArgs "Xmx900m,Xincgc,server") wich is the SAP solution found on its portal but it does not work.
I use BO XI 3.1 in Windows 2003 server, after the install I reduced the maximum memory of Java in the tomcat 5.5.2 server from 1024 to 512 because the server never started with the initial size.
Please I need Help.
thanks in advance,
Samy

Hi,
Below SAP solution found found in BOB Forum.
I applied this solution and now everything works fine !!
I just add this -javaArgs "Xmx900m,Xincgc,server" in the command line of the server
Hope this helps:

Unable to schedule webi report with Test user

Hi All,
I get the below error when i try to schedule a WEBI report with user id.
I can schedule with my developer id.
Error Message: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Edit objects' (ID: 6) for 'sudes_errors' (ID: 45941). Please contact your administrator if you require this right.
Any inputs greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Error clearly showing that, Test user need access rights defined @ CMC.
Contact BO admin, to assign Schedule/Full control rights for that Test user.
Thank You!!

Scheduling WEBI reports with API

Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
Regards,
Emiel

Hi
What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .

Problem in WEBI Report with PCM OLAP Universe (PCM MDX Connector)

We need to create reports in Web Intelligence from our PCM Models (Business Objects Profitability and Cost Management). We are able to create the olap universe using PCM MDX Connector and we have no problems creating the reports in webi. The problem is when we execute the report (run query): all the data from PCM model is loaded correctly (dimensions, levels, etc.), except the Measures. I mean, the values of all the measures are always zero (0). No matter the way we change the query (adding filters, adding or chopping dimensions, drilling levels, etc.) the value for every measure is zero.
We've checked the aggretation method of each measure in BO universe designer and are all correctly configured.
The model in PCM is calculated and even when we run the queries in PCM Model Builder tool directly to the model, the results are retrieved Ok and the measures have correct values (Revenue, lineitem values, etc.).
Any ideas of what is going on?

Hi Henry… thanks for your answer…
The reports we are creating of PCM are not from BW universes, but PCM OLAP Universes. PCM have its own cube OLAP files, and BO universes for those OLAP models use the Business Objects PCM MDX Driver.
Nevertheless I will try to catch the MDX statement, as you suggest, and see if something is wrong with it.
The versions we have are: “Business Objects Enterprise 12.3 build 601” and “Business Objects Profitability and Cost Management (PCM) 7.5.11”
Thanks again.
Vladimir.

Scheduling WEBI reports with formulas for parameters

Hi,
I am new to this environment. I would like to try and schedule a report monthly with dates (that will change from month to month). ie first and last day of previous month. Is there an easy way of achieving this automatically?

Needed to do the same thing, with lots of different date ranges - month to date, year to date, last month, last week, fiscal year, etc. Came up with a solution that takes a bit to set-up but then is re-usable and flexible. I'll do my best to try and explain. 1) Within the universe, created a "CurrentDate" derived table that calculates various points in time (yesterday, first of the week, last of the week, first of last month, last of last month, etc.). Because the product would not let me use an unlinked table in calculations, I used a common table as the "from" in the SQL and included a common identifier so I could link the derived table to an existing table in the universe - I selected a small one with only a few records. Using Oracle here, not SQL, so you'd need to modify to use SQL date functions, and add/delete the calculations you need:select distinctcommonidentiferfield,trunc(sysdate) as CurrentDate,trunc(sysdate)-1 as Yesterday,trunc(sysdate)1 as Tomorrow,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=2 then trunc(sysdate)-3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=1 then trunc(sysdate)-2 else trunc(sysdate)-1 end as PriorWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=7 then trunc(sysdate)2 else trunc(sysdate)1 end as NextWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=5 then trunc(sysdate)4 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)4 else trunc(sysdate)2 end as TwoWorkDaysFromToday,trunc(sysdate,'D') as StartThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')6 as EndThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-7 as StartLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-1 as EndLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')7 as StartNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')13 as EndNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'MM') as FirstOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(sysdate)) as LastOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-2))1) as FirstOfLastMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-1))) as LastOfLastMonth,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)1 else extract(year from sysdate) end as CurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartCurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)+1 else extract(year from sysdate) end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndCurrentFiscalYear,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end as LastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)-1 else extract(year from sysdate)-2 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartLastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndLastFiscalYearfromsmallexistingtable 1a) Link the derived "CurrentDate" table to smallexistingtable using
your commonidentiferfield (at least I had to do this, though everything
parsed ok in designer, when used in a query unlinked, it screamed quite
unhappily which is why I ended up basing the query on
smallexistingtable and linking). 2) Created a "Dates" class and objects for each date in the above table, ie. "Current Date", "Yesterday", "Tomorrow", "First of last month", "Last of last month"3) Created an object called Prompt - Date Range - Start Date. This prompts the user to select the date range type they want and also allows for "custom" date ranges for on-demand reports. For scheduled reports, you just select your response as part of the scheduled instance.casewhen @Prompt('Select records for','A',{'Today','Yesterday','Tomorrow','Prior Work Day','Next Work Day','Today -

I also usually include the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date and Prompt - Date Range - End Date objects so that I can use them min(Prompt - Date Range - Start Date) and max(Prompt - Date Range - End Date) in the report header to display the actual date range selected (all the value in Prompt - Date Range - Start Date are exactly the same, I use the min to avoid multiple value errors - same for Prompt - Date Range - End Date, I use max just because logically my brain likes that better). When you refresh the query, it will ask what date range type you want, a start date and end date - used for custom ranges - you can enter any date if not selecting a custom date as it is ignored. Hope that makes sense and is helpful. It's worked really well for me. I also have an even more complicated version (imagine that!) for situations where there may be multiple dates a user can choose from, ie a posting date vs the date of service. It will ask the user which they want and in the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date, a case statement is added to handle the selection/use of different date fields.Deb

Script to schedule webi report with prompts

Dear experts,
I need to schedule about 300 reports to run on a monthly basis. Those reports have to prompts to be filled: year and month.
How can I schedule it and fill the prompts automatically? I thought of scheduling a script that would run those reports but I'm not able to find a script that fills the prompts.
Can you help me?
Thanks!
Inê

What version of BOE are you on? In any case, you'd need to use the ReportEngine SDK. You might be better off posting this to the appropriate Business Intelligence SDK forum.

Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

Hi,
Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.

Hi Christopher,
Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Date Ranges

<FILTER KEY= "@Select(Debit Memo Date\Debit Memo Date LOV)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION= "Between">
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0)='First Day of Month','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0))"/>
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0) > '1/1/2100 12:00:00 AM',''1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'',(@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0))"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
We are getting MDX erros because IIF can only return numeric values. So are there any other approaches for dynamically scheduling the reports or can the above MDX prompt be modified to make it work ?

Ingo,
When we schedule the WEBI report we use the BEX query with a variable based on a customer Exit .
There are good examples in
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
In order to avoid providing a hard coded date restriction in the BEX query we want to have a flexible date range solution (e.g. data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday).
Is the folloing scenario possible:
Scheduled webi report with a hard coded date e.g. 1.1.1900 (for the BEX variable)
The BEX query should return the data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday (dynamically) if date = 1.1.1900
else it should return the data (for the e.g. adhoc reporting)
Is a customer exit like this possible ?
Pseudo code:
IF date = 1.1.900 then return sysdate-1 else return entered date
For a relational universe I always used a magic date condition

Ho can I schedule a WEBI report with dynamic parameters???

Hello again!!
Here i am with another detail about scheduling, the thing this time is that ia need to schedule a report with one parameter every week but with a different value for the parameter every week.
This is i need this week to run the report SALES BY STORE filtered by week with this value 2011 - 45 (yyyy - num ofweek) but the next week the value for the same parameter must be 2011 - 46
is it possible??? i mean is possible to schedule a report with different value for the parameter each time that it runs???
I know that i can schedule a report with different values for a parameter to send it to severals users whith different data but the values for the parameter are the same every time that it runs and i dont need that.
Any help or clue will be very appreciated

Hi Elio,
Do you have access to modify your universe?
Then you should try Dave Rathbun's idea. Here is the link:
http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts/
Note that you'll have to adapt it to what you need, in this case to the week number.
For example if you are using Sybase syntax you'd get 2011 - 46 with:
convert(varchar, year(getdate()))+' - '+convert(varchar, datepart(wk,getdate()))
So you'll new object in Universe would look like :
your_table.week = case when @prompt('Enter week','C',,mono,free) = 'This week' then convert(varchar, year(getdate()))+' - '+convert(varchar, datepart(wk,getdate())) else @prompt('Enter week','C',,mono,free) end
Adapt it to the syntax of the database you use. Then after creating this object in your universe you'll have to go back to your report and Edit the query and use this object in the filter area instead of a normal prompt.
When you have to schedule the report leave the prompt with the parameter 'This week'
Hope this helps
Regards
Erika

Scheduling a webi report with no access to univ. connection

Hi,
I have a user in BO enterprise, who has access to a report, but no access to the universe & universe connection.
So ideally, the expected behavior is that, when the user schedules the report, the schedule should fail.
When I do a schedule, by clicking on the prompts, and modify, it throws me an error that the Universe and universe connection are not accessible.
But when I schedule the report, with all default settings (without modifying the prompt values), it schedules, and shows a Success status. (Though the report shows blank data)
Has anyone observed this before? Any info on this would be helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
The use-case is:
- An administrator creates a new user (by default belongs to Everyone group) and provides access to a particular report including the scheduling privileges
- The Everyone group does not have access for the Universe or the Connection
- When this user runs the report (View on Demand) and refreshes the data (via the Refresh Data button), the error is thrown stating that the universe is not found/not accessible.
- When scheduling the same report, we see different behaviors (one of the prompt option happens to be a List of Values:
- Changing the prompt values - Clicking the modify button on the parameters page and trying to select a value for the LoV prompt throws me the Universe not found/accessible error (which is correct as the concerned user does not have access to the universe or the connection)
- With default prompt values (i.e. not changing any of the prompt values in the parameters page) - This shows that the schedule was successful and when i open the instance, it shows me blank report - The question here is, why would the schedule succeed when the user does not have the access to the universe/connection?
Thanks -
Chandra

Scheduled Webi Reports Don't Open on iOS's MS Exchange Mail

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to write this post but I will try anyway.
We are using BO 4.0 SP6 and schedule webi reports as attached xlsx of pdf in e-mails.The problem is that the attached pdf's and excel files don't open right away in iPhone's native mail application when using MS Exchange. A tiny question mark shows up on the top corner of the attachment and when you tap on it, it asks which application to use to open it. We can choose iBooks app for example to view the file. We would like the attachment to open right away as we tap on it as it does usually.
Here are some test results:
-We have observed this issue on iOS 8. However, there are rumors that it started with iOS 7. Same rumors suggest that it would work fine before iOS 7.
-We use iOS' native mail application with a MS Exchange account set up.
-We have also tested it with a gmail account set up next to the exchange account. The attachment opened with no problem.
-If someone forwards the mail received from the BO server, to another exchange mail, the attachment opens just fine.
-We have no problem opening other exchange mails with attachments on mobile.
We suspect, the exchange mail can't confirm the sender address thus can't trust the attachment if it is really a pdf-excel file. So we tried scheduling the webi report with a valid mail address in the sender information box but it didn't work.
Has anyone came across such a problem?
I know this issue involve SAP, Apple and Microsoft and each one will point the other for the blame. But any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Emre,
Though this appears on Mobile, this belongs to Webi Product team. As the schedule of Webi reports and the email output would be controlled by them. They can work with Apple to identify the cause and fix the defect. Hence, you can post your question in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence
I would also recommend that you contact Webi Product Support through the official channel http://support.sap.com/incident

Scheduled webi reports fail, why? If I restart BO services they work again

Hello.
I'm having a problem with my scheduled Webi reports and I don't know what is causing it. I have some reports scheduled to run at 8:00 am, and are supposed to be sent to a determined e-mail. Last week it worked well and the reports were sent to their destination successfuly, then this week the same reports didn't reach their destination. I verified in the History option and all of them showed a Failed status. I checked the detail and this is what it shows:
Unexpected exception caught. Reason: [java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null.]
If I try to reschedule these reports or any other report or a new report I get the same error. The only way I can make the schedule option work again for my webi reports is restarting BusinessObjects services.
But I guess this is not the right solution.
What can I do? How can I determine what is causing my scheduled webi reports fail?
What does this java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null message mean?
Is there a way I could track the service that is failing? which BO service is the service that manage the Schedule reports?
Any help is welcome.

Schedule Webi report to CSV - text qualifier

Hi
We are running the latest version of Business Objects 4.0 SP04 (FP3) with Patch 1.
I am having a problem scheduling a Webi report to CSV format. The text qualifier option only allows the choice of ' (single quote). Not only is the text qualifier on text fields - it's also on numeric fields. This obviously causes a problem for Excel and other systems.
Is there a way of removing or replacing this text qualifier or preventing numeric fields from been wrapped with the text qualifier?
We are not having this problem with the interactive "Save as - TXT file" option.
Thanks for any input on this.
Kieran

Hi Experts,
Seeking your opinion on the following issue,
We are in version SAP BO 4.0 SP 4 Update
While trying to schedule a report with as CSV, the only option available as the Text qualifier is single quote ( ' ). Any sort of clue on why we don't see the option "None" listed in the combo?
Thanks,
Thilani

How do I make this work, our standard web browser is Internet explorer.

How to schedule webi report in bulk (multiple report in one request)

hi,
I am little bit new to BOXI. I have little bit work experience in Crystal X on scheduling which was used in one of our enterprise java application. We are exploring options in BOXI.
Currently i am scheduling a report with following api
infoStore.schedule (webiDocs);
This will schedule one report instance.
My question is
Is there any way to schedule multiple instances of a same report in one request.
Is there any way to schedule multiple instances of a different report in one request.
If above things are possible please provide the apis for the same.
thanks in advance
Shreenidhi

Scheduling multiple Webi reports in one command:
infoStore.schedule takes 1 arhgument of type IInfoObjects which is a collection of InfoObject. IInfoObjects is retrieved by the query. So if you to retrieve all the Webi Docs you want to schedule , then with infoStore.schedule(WebiDocs), it will schedule them all in 1 shot. Scheduling Info properties for each Webi Docs should also be set. Please refer to the samples on scheduling at link below.
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/3211
Scheduling one Webi Doc multiple times in one command:
I donu2019t think it can be done in one command. Do you want to schedule the object multiple times each time running it with different prompts? Or do you want it to be sent to different destination in each schedule? Otherwise you can schedule it once and then access the scheduled instance multiple times.
I hope this helps.
