Providing un-secured access to a web report.

Hello Experts,
We have been sending out 'Load Status' emails on a daily basis for various BW loads. Recently we discontinued this process and set up a report based on one of the statistics cube. We got out the link for this web-report to all the users in our daily load status distribution list.
The problem now is that when you click on the link, it pops out a window asking for the log-on information to our production system. But it looks like a few of the users do not have access to the production system and are hence unable to access this web-report.
Is there any way to allow un-secured access to this particular web-report to all users i.e.without a screen asking for log-on information?Is it possible to set up a generic user id for this report that allows all the users to access this report without actually giving them access to our production system?
Thanks
Arvind

Arvind,
What is your BI system version ?
if it is 3.x - then the URL will have a link to your server followed by a Question mark "?" and then some parameters.
The value till the ? mark is the Web service for the same - you can make this Anonymous in SICF but then this would mean that all queries can be accessed through this URL ...
else create an RFC enabled function module based on RRW3_Query_View_data and then use this for your query and expose the same as a web service and make it anonymous ... or have a BSP page to do the same....

Securing pdf by scheduling webi Report (PdfWriter.AllowCopy)

Hello,
triying to secure the pdf-instances of report scheduling in BO trough deactivating the PDF-SecurityOption "PdfWriter.AllowCopy"
publication extensions should offer this possibility to secure pdf-files by scheduling. Unfortunately only for Crystal Reports files. But we need it for Web Intelligence docs ..
SAP also offers an SDK sample for this purpose ..
[SAP Sample Code: Java Enterprise BE12 Create-Publication CR-PDF |www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/9074bb6f-3857-2c10-bcab-be13735881d4]
the interesting part of this sample is the following ..
mergeOption.securityOption = new SecurityOption(PDF_USER_PASSWORD, PDF_OWNER_PASSWORD,
PdfWriter.AllowCopy| PdfWriter.AllowPrinting | PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders)
Since it is working only for Crystal Reports, The question is:
is there a possibility to manipulate code in order to generate a PDF-Plugin for only deactivating the security Option "PdfWriter.AllowCopy" before publication delivery .. ??
How can i realize that .. ?
Thanks ..

You would need to create your own publication extension. The one that is provided only works with the PDF version that Crystal Reports generates.

Secure and non-secure access to the web application in one war

Say we have one web application (in one war) which includes JSP, servlets and the security intercepter. There is one business requirement to have most of the JSP(s) accessed via HTTPS, but a few JSP(S) accessed via HTTP.
My questions are:
a. Is this possible, or a reasonable requirement or a good practice?
b. if yes, what can we do to make it happen in the security intercepter implementation?
c. If not, what is the technical reasons?
Thanks much.

a) Yes its is reasonable and good practive, there is an overhead using https, so you should only encrypt file you need to. When you use an online store, only account details / payments are https, the shop itself is http
b) I dont really understand your difficulty. You can define a folder as 'secure' and put all your secure pages in this folder, leaving non secure files in a different folder. Whenever a page in the secure folder is accessed, https is automatically invoked.

Values not getting refreshed in web report.

Hello Friends,
Currently i am running an web report. The scenerio is i have check box with 5 options For Ex: IMS , IMR, IMN,IMM,IMP.
IMS is the combination of all divisions and IMR is the combination of only three divisions.
In BEx we runthe report with divisions . For ex : divisions are Ind1, ind2,ind3,ind4,ind 5.
Instead of displaying divisions in the select options like Ind1,ind2....etc., we have created a structure in the report
and using new selection we have restricted the divisions with IMS,IMN,etc.,
IMS->combination of all divisions. IMR is combination of ind1,ind2,ind3.
IMN... all are with single divisions
Now we have assigned the query in the data provider for select options in hte web report,
But when we select any options the values of the remaining queries are not getting refreshed.
If we use the divisons directly with out using the structures the values are getting refreshed.
Can any one give me the solutions for this?
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Mansi,
Check the Prompt properties in the Edit Query window of the webI. In the query filters section of window, click on the blue icon which says Prompt Properties. Deselect Keep Last values select and run the webI again.
If the solution is not related to your question, please provide more details.
Thanks,
Rajesh

List of Web Reports & corresponding Roles

Hi,
I'm looking for some table or something which can provide me the list of all Web Reports and corresponding Roles to which they are assigned.
Does anybody know how to find it?
Regards,
Vikrant.

Hi Danny,
I certainly can get the information from Metadata Repository, but the problem is we have close to 350 web reports. It would take lot of time to determine role for each.. one by one.

Unable to open webi report WIS 30912

Hi all,
After reinstalling the BO XI 3.1 server we are unable to open the previously created WebI documents. When we try to open such a document we get the following message :
The document has been locked by the user 'BODWH' on the following cluster : '@CDMSCOXP.localwan.net:6400'. You cannot open this document on the current cluster. To open the document, log on the correct cluster as the correct user and save the document unsecured. If the cluster is not reachable, try to connect to the following system : '@CDMSCOXP.localwan.net:6400'. If this system is not reachable or not online, try the previous offline session with the connection 'cdmscoxp_6400 (Offline - 04/09/2008 09:03:2'. (WIS 30912)
Any idea how this can be resolved ?
Thanks for advise!
Regards,
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply.
Is it posible to turn off the security setting for the webi reports? The webi reports is created before the reinstallation, and after the reinstallation process the cluster name is changed, and the report is not able to open as shown for now.
Is it posible we change 1 of our development server cluster and entering into the webi and change the security setting since the server influence is the production server and the cluster name is fix for now.
Thanks for advice.

Steve

Provide Edit WebI reports authorization with Save as option.

Hello Experts,
I am new to BO authorizations.
I have a scenario where i need to provide my users Edit rights(not modify) and provide them with Save As access while denying the save access(So that they don't overwrite the original report with their changes).
I was able to provide my users access to reports (like view & refresh) but they are not able to edit reports(have already provided Edit report access for Webi), also "save as" come grayed out while Save option is active.
Can anyone suggest how shall i proceed to give the users required rights.
Thanking you in anticipation.
We are on BO 4.0 SP6.

Hello Anurag,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already assigned Schedule & VOD access for the folder but that doesn't help. and at Webi Application level i have allowed almost all the formatting options.
also the Manage - top level security for folders wont work for me as I have to give the users access to their specific folder "A" only.
Best Regards

Access 2013 Web reporting seems to be missing

I have a simple request from a user to print out a list of the database in a nicely formatted form. Should take 10 minutes (or so I thought). The version is Access 2013 web.
It appears that this simple request is not easily done. There appears not to be a reporting function in the Web version of Access. I spent a long time looking for it and decided that it just isn't there.
For my second choice I decided to deploy the desktop version and create the reports there, but can't get a connection to the SQL Server where the Access Web App stores my data in SharePoint.
I found a web link showing me how to hook up Excel to the SQL server supporting the web app database. I have gone to the Web Access FILE\INFO screen and selected the Manage Connections section. Followed the instructions
for enabling a read only connection and then copied and pasted the server, database name, username and password into Excel using the "From other sources" button, then selecting the "From Data Connection Wizard", Selected other/advanced
and then SQL Server Native Client 11.0. It does not find the server when I test the connection. I constantly get a time out.
I am using a 365 SharePoint server to host my access web site. I called 365 Tech support and spent hours trying to work this out with people that didn't know anything about Access. The SharePoint people didn't understand the problem of not
being able to connect and was eventually told that it wasn't a feature they offered.
As an aside, with 18 years experience in developing Access applications, I am looking at other products to replace Access. I didn't jump into Access 2010 web because of the way SharePoint handled the database, but this is worse. Hate to walk away
from the experience I have, but seems I have been left little choice.

See if this blog post that our support team created helps you with the connection information. This can create the desktop Access application linked up to the Access 2013 web app tables you have.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_access_support_team_blog/archive/2014/03/24/how-to-make-external-connections-to-an-access-web-app-new.aspx
Also, you might just try clicking the Create Reports button in the Access web app client interface and Access will create the reporting database for you with links to the web app tables. On the File menu (when using the Access web app in client) make sure
to click the option to Allow Any Location under the Manage button. After that, just click the Create Reports button on the File menu (right above the Manage button) and wait a few seconds. Access will create a new desktop database linked up to all of the Access
web app tables. You can then create as many reports or other desktop objects as you like.
Hope that helps,

Multiple access level Webi Reports

Hi,
We have Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.4. Our problem is that we want to asign to the same user diferent levels of visualization for a webi report, but if we asign the security at application level (WebIntelligence) the access levels applies for all reports and if we assign the access level at folder level it doesn´t applied to the visualization of the report. Basically we want that a user see a WebiReport without refresh the data and the same user saw a diferent report in a diferent folder with the capability to do this action.
Is this possible??
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I apologize for not replying earlier. I tried to reproduce what you mentioned. InfoView kept crashing on my end when I disable right-click.
In any case, you mentioned that disabling right-click only works when applied on on the application level (for Webi). We can work with this itself.
Again, for sake of simplicity, lets assume that we have only two access levels.
1. Right_Click_Disabled
2. Toolbar_Disabled
Also, lets assume that a specific user requires the Right_Click_Disabled access level on Rep_1 in Folder_A and the Toolbar_Disabled access level on Rep_2 in Folder_A.
For this, you'll need to create two groups. Lets call them Right_Click_Disabled_Grp and Toolbar_Disabled_Grp. Add the user to both groups. Also apply access level Right_Click_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Right_Click_Disabled_Grp (principal).
Similarly, apply access level Toolbar_Disabled to Webi (application) for group Toolbar_Disabled_Grp (principal).
Now, give both groups View access on Folder_A. So, the user will have the most restrictive access of the combination of ViewRight_Click_DisabledToolbar_Disabled for all Webi reports in Folder_A.
Now, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, the user requires Right_Click_Disabled access. So, for Rep_1 in Folder_A, for principal Right_Click_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Right_Click_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_1. Similarly, for Rep_2 in Folder_A, the user requires Toolbar_Disabled access. Again, for Rep_2, for principal Toolbar_Disabled_Grp, disable inheritance and give the group Toolbar_Disabled (access level) only for Rep_2.
Summary:
Groups
Right_Click_Disabled_Grp
Toolbar_Disabled_Grp
Access Levels
Right_Click_Disabled
Toolbar_Disabled
Let me know if you have any questions.Also, note that I haven't tested this.
Best.

A simple report to list security access on all folders

Hi there
I want a simple report to list security access on all folders (group wise)
any help ...??
Thanks.
Rakesh.

Hi AnTiiiKa,
For this issue, you can first retrieve all the users on the site, then get all permissions of each user. With this PowerShell Script you could retrieve all Permissions for a Specific User for a SiteCollection
on all Webs and Subwebs, Lists and Items. Here is an article about how to get all Roles and Groups from the User and the URL.
SharePoint SP2010 - Retrieve all User Permissions via PowerShell:
http://sp2010userperm.codeplex.com/
save the report to a csv (excel file):
$web = Get-SPWeb http://address/site/site/site
$user=$web.AllUsers
Get-SPWeb YOURURL | Get-SPUserEffectivePermissions $user | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation
-Path c:\perms.csv
Please inform me freely if you have any questions.
Thanks

Dashboard with Webi Report link - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for

Problems access to a web application (Web Interface or Web report)

Hi,
We found problems with the access to web application. Some users have problems with direct links to the web applications(Web Interface or Web reporting), when they click on the link an error message appears, the message displays the following text:
"Cannot open file Bex?sap-language=ENbsplanguge=ENcmd=idoc_TE.."
Clicking in details the message is "No Access to specified file"
For this users the access to excel reporting is correct, the message appears when they click on the direct web links through the browser or directly in BW system, but if they type the URL they can access. Other users can use the direct web link without problems.
I highly appreciate any help or idea about how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
please ask to your basis that check the language of every single user on su01 tx.
This is the problem i think.

Creating alias for Web access to SQL Server Reporting Services

Hello colleagues.
I have MS SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server Reporting Services in domain "domain.local". In the local network at the entrance via Web browser to "mdr.domain.local/Reports" get into Reports of SQL Server Reporting Services and it's work fine.
Necessary that the SQL Server Reporting Services could include via Web browser from alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports". To do this:
1) I created a new A record "reports2" in the DNS leading to IP mdr.domain.local
2) in Reporting Services Configuration Manager on a tab "Web Service URL" in "Report Server Web Service URLs" I add new record "http://reports2:80/ReportServer" (host Header Name: reports2)
BUT "reports2.domain.local/Reports" is not work. When entering to "reports2.domain.local/Reports" I see page "An error in the security certificate for this Web Site..." and when I click "Continue to ...", then "Unable
to find a web page."
What and where I must add/change for work of alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports" by analogy with "mdr.domain.local/Reports"?
I hope for your help.
Thanks.

WooW it's work!!! Thank you
JJordheim you are the best!
With my PKI I create new certificate for "reports2.domain.local" and Import it to MDR server (in Personal). I create new network adapter and configure Reporting Services Configuration on "Report manager URL" tab (for SSL):
mdr.domain.local - certificate "mdr.domain.local" - network adapter №1
reports2.domain.local - certificate "reports2.sygroup.local" - network adapter №2
And all work fine.
If I configure all to 1 network adapter it's doesn't work.
Thanks for help!
