Publishing Many Desktop Intelligence Documents at Once to BOE XI R3.1

We are currently planning for and close to an upgrade of our XI R2 environment to XI R3.1
When we deploy the new client tools to each users desktop we would like to place their local UserDocs folder contents into BOE first for backup and conversion reasons.
It doesn't look like we can accomplish this using the publisher or import wizards.  Unfortunately neither look to have the capability of pointing directly to a folder such as UserDocs on a user's machine and pushing the desktop intelligence (.rep) files to BOE.
Desktop Intelligence allows you to export documents to BOE but choosing them is cumbersome.  Instead of allowing for multiple selections at once....each document must be added to the export one at a time.
Is there any method/tool that exists for doing this more efficiently than desktop intelligence allows for?

Ben, this is not a common occurance. Make sure you patch the client to match the server, I assume you already have done so. Check busobj.exe version, for FP1.3 should be 12.1.3.1028
-Do you have any other versions of BO installed?
-Does it happen with a specific user account?
-Try a un-install and re-install
Search SAP notes for "Deski crashing" and you will see see a few notes to try out.

  • Grant the right application value for desktop intelligence

    hi ,
    Once i grant the right to an application value (e.g print document  set to grant) to a user/group on a specific application (Eg desktop intelligence) I will be still able to grant that right (e.g print) to one desktop intelligence document  but not the other desktop intelligence document.
    thank
    vissu

    I don't think this is documented. You're best bet would be to get an app like filemon/regmon and filter out the installer to track where it writes to. It's more than a couple of directories and keys.

  • Desktop Intelligence XI 3.1 in 3-tier mode and a lot of Oracle sessions

    Hi All,
    I wanted to set BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 for our customers (they use BOE XI R2 now).
    But I met with some problem for Desktop Intelligence in 3-tier mode (ZABO formerly).
    Configuration:
    BO Server: BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
    BO Client: Desktop Intelligence version 12.1.0.882
    BOE Connection Server: version 12.1.0.882 (2.0.0.29)
    Product database (Data Warehouse): Oracle Server 10g
    Database client: Oracle Client 10.2.0.1
    Connection type: http (J2EE Portal) u2013 Tomcat
    Customer DI Documents contain 10 queries on average.
    Problem:
    ConnectionServer create a session in Oracle FOR EACH QUERY from Desktop Intelligence document and BY EACH REFRESH.
    e.g.:
    30 users loaded any reports simultaneously and refresh theirs:
    30 users * 10 queries (per 1 doc on average) = 301 Oracle sessions !!! (300 for queries and 1 for connection)
    second refresh: 301 + 300 = 601 Oracle sessions
    third refresh: 601 + 300 = 901 Oracle sessions
    etc. while Oracle server is not down.
    For DI doc in 2-tier mode (client-server) u2013 only 1 sessionu2026
    Thanks.

    Look at the XI3.0 migration guide on that site.

  • Saving & opening migrated Desktop intelligence docs of BO 6.5.x in BO XI R2

    Hi,
    I'd like to seek help on the issue that follows herein-
    Symptom:
    Certain Desktop intelligence documents, particular to this customer, created in Business Objects 6.5.x environment and have then been imported into Business Objects XI Release 2. These Desktop intelligence documents, when now opened in XI R2, either through Deski Windows Client or through Infoview, and "Saved As" .PDF file on local machine and opened in Adobe Reader 7.0.0 (or versions thereafter), return blank. However, in the process of open this PDF file, if you allow Adobe Reader to connect to internet and automatically download "Japanese fonts" and install on local machine, the report opens fine.
    Environment:
    Business Objects 6.5.x on Windows NT platform
    Business Objects XI Release 2 (no service packs) on Windows NT Platform
    Import Wizard in Business Objects XI Release 2
    Windows XP as client machine
    Desktop Intelligence Windows Client
    Infoview
    Adobe Reader 7.0.0 (or versions thereafter)
    Simple reproduction of the Issue:
    1. Open the sample affected Deski document attached here, in Business Objects 6.5.x through Deski Windows client.
    2. From File menu, choose "Save As" and save to local machine as PDF file. Now open this file in Adobe Reader and verify that the file opens fine.
    3. Now save and export this Deski document to BO 6.5.x enterprise repository.
    Launch Import Wizard from BO XI R2 and import this Desktop Intelligence document into XI R2.
    4. In BO XI R2, open through Infoview, "Save as" to local computer as .PDF and open in Adobe Reader. Alternately, do the same through XI R2 Deski Windows client.
    5. Now verify that Adobe Reader checks for updates from Internet and asks to install "Japanese Fonts". If you do not proceed to install "Japanese Fonts", the report returns blank.
    Could you please suggest the reason for this behaviour and how to avoid it from Business Objects side?
    I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Feel free to ask me further.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Subhodeep

    Hi,
    Please try the follwing Resolutions at your end:
    Cause
    Due to difference in architecture, BusinessObjects XI R2 handles PDF files differently than BusinessObjects 6.5.x.
    When the customer opens the XI R2 version Deski doc saved as pdf in Adobe Reader, it tries to check for missing fonts due to inherent nature of this report. Missing fonts usually get downloaded automatically from the internet. But the API file responsible for this, known as "Updater.api" should be present in the Adobe Reader installation on the local Windows machine. Customer does not have this "Updater.api" file in their corporate Adobe Reader deployment due to network security policies.
    File Name: Updater.api
    Description: The Updater plug-in manages the list of updates that are available for the Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat products.  
    Dependencies: Plug-ins required for loading: EScript, IA32, SOAP, WebLink.
    Resolution
    Suggested below are steps to get the "updater.api" file in Adobe Reader installation on local computer and hence allow Adobe Reader to automatically check for product updates through internet.
    Resolution 1 -
    Zipped and attached is the "Updater.api" file here. Kindly download, extract and paste the Updater.api file at the following location on your local Windows machine - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\plug_ins (Note: assuming that Adobe is installed in C:\Program Files)
    When done, open the affected Deski PDF document. Let Adobe Reader check for updates. It should prompt you to install "Japanese Fonts" (file name alf_jpn.exe, approx size 10Mb). Kindly continue with the download and installation this font. When done, the Deski document should open fine.
    Resolution 2 -
    Uninstall Adobe Reader from your computer.
    Get a of Adobe Reader for Windows XP from the following location: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Let Adobe Reader check for updates and install "Japanese Fonts" as mentioned before. When done, the Deski document should open fine.
    Hope this helps...
    Cheers,

    Hello all,
    I need help for publishing web intelligence document (universe) into InfoView.
    can't find this information in Business Objects Designer's Guide and in Business Objects Administrator Guide.
    Can somebody give short instructions how can I do it?
    Regards, Slava

    If the change between the 2 types of data has to happen dynamically during run time them
    1. Use 2 dataproviders
         a. Current
         b. Historic
    2. Merge the 2 dimensions
    3. Use Webi variable to switch between the measure of the current and historic universe
    Ex  if [year] < 2010 then historic.[expense] else current.[expense]
    Hope this helps,

  • Can't open many documents at once.

    Hi,
    I have the MacBook Air. I am writing a document in Microsoft Word and need to refer to the internet and a pdf file at once. However, I can't open my pdf file and word document at the same time. When I click on the pdf file, safari, or firefox, my word document is hidden. If I click on the pdf file, my word document is hidden from view, and the same goes for the web browers. To retrieve either file I have to click on the microsoft word icon, adobe reader, or firefox icon in the finder.
    There is an F3 button to open the hidden documents in the squares, but I can't drag the documents into one square so I can open more than one documents at once. Does any one have any clue about this?
    Thank you.

  • Phase out of desk intelligence documents

    HEllo there,
    does anyone know when SAP-BO will phase out the use of Deskintelligence documents?
    will they keep the viewer active?
    I did't find any communication about that
    Many regards
    Thierry

    The last service pack for XI R2 is due June/July 2010. Which means any issues found in Desktop Intelligence after that may not be delivered fixed. Further, next major BO enterprise release may not contain Desktop Intelligence.
    However, customers are free to use Deski as long as they wish. Some are even using it in BO 6.5 environment.
    Hope I could claify.
    Thanks

  • A scheduled Desktop Intelligence report runs indefinitely on the server...

    If we delete the report through InfoView or Instance Manager, the report still appears in the Desktop Intelligence Job Server metrics. We tried pausing it first before deleting it but it does not pause the report in "running" state. The only way we are able to remove it from the Desktop Intelligence Job Server is to restart the Desktop Intelligence Job Server and CMS.
    Is there a different way for this? Perhaps have the report time out or something?
    FYI, I've noticed that the connection server pooling timeout setting is set to no timeout. Would setting this to a certain number solve our problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Voltaire Pagador

    Hi Gina,
    I would assume you are after the Desktop Intelligence Processing Server - new term in XI 3.1 - formerly known as DeskI report server in R2. Feel free to let me know if this is not correct.
    Steps on adding a new server in CMC are all contained in XI 3.1 Administrator's guide page 170.
    The document can be found in our SMP product guide area.
    In addition, it has the steps on cloning a server and deleting a server for your reference.
    Hope this helps.

  • BI XI R2 Desktop Intelligence

    How do you send a document to another user from within Desktop Intelligence?  The Send To > Users option that used to be on the File list in previous versions is not there any more.
    The help file section on 'sending document to users' is a description of how to use folders and categories but contains no instructions on how to send a document.  The section on 'sending to groups of users' instructs you to click 'List' and then selec the group(s) you want, but there are no instructions as to how you get to the point of selecting List!  There is a note underneath that says "This option is only available when you previously selected the Send To then Users on the File menu" but as there is no Send To option on the file list!

    here you go,
    To send documents to users and groups from Desktop Intelligence:
    1. Click File > Send To > Users.
    2. In the Send documents to users box, click Browse, and then locate and
    add the document you want to send.
    The document appears in the Document(s) to Send list. If a document
    was already open in Desktop Intelligence, it appears by default.
    3. In the "Send documents to users" box, click To.
    4. In the "Select Users and Groups" box, click Groups to see groups of
    users or Users to see individual users.
    You can refresh the list by clicking Refresh.
    5. Select one or more in the list.
    Use Ctrl+click for multiple selection.
    6. Click Add to add your selection to the Document Recipients list.
    You can choose an option, Groups or Users, add users to the Document
    Recipients, and then do the same with the other option.
    7. To remove users or groups from the Document Recipients list, select
    them and click Remove.
    8. Click OK.
    The selected documents are sent to the Business Objects inbox of the
    document recipients.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Make a backup of Web Intelligence Documents

    Hi ! I have produced some Web Intelligence documents in BO XI R2, but I need to know how to make a backup of them... Is it possible to find them as visible files or packages,  in order to keep them and prevent possible loss ?    Thanks..

    The reason that you have to use the BIAR files from the Import Wizard in XI r2 is that there is no way to "publish" the .wid files that contain WebI reports.  So, the only way to restore them is through the Import Wizard.
    In XI 3.0 and above, there is a tool called the Web Intelligence Rich Client which will open .wid files outside of InfoView or the CMC and let you save them to you BO system.

  • In Transaction CC04, Is there a way to print documents at once

    Hello Everyone,
    In Transaction CC04,  In Document Tab, when the Document Number, Document Type, Document Part are specified, t goes to the Product Structure Screem where there is a drill down for Sub ordinate documents.  Under the Subordinate documents There are many documents.
    Under each document, There are sub ordinate documents included with it. User needs a way to print all the documents at once  that have status as RL( Released). Is there a way to Print all documents with out drilling down in to each document and print. Please tell me a way to figure out this.
    Thank you

    You can. If it's one of the HP printers that support AirPrint then you can do so directly (this page lists the printers and has info on Airprint http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356), there is the Epson iPrint app for some of their printers. Otherwise there are third-party print apps such as Print N Share, Print Central etc

    You need to be able to connect to the CMS port. If this is not working even via telnet then there must be a firewall rule somewhere preventing it. Unless traffic is allowed to pass to the CMS on it's configured port (6400 by default) then any further troubleshooting is unnecessarry.

  • Is it possible to see all pages in one document at once?

    Hey.
    So I can't figure out if it's possible to see all pages in one document at once, so that it's all on screen at the same time.
    Is it possible and if it is then how so?
    Thanks in advance for any kind of help

    Wouldn't that depend on how many pages there are, how large your screen is and how small you were willing to put up with in the thumbnails?
