Regarding WEBI rich client and Info view.

Hi all,
I am able to open an universe based on the query created using querydesigner through the rich client but it is giving the error when I execute the same query based universe through the infoview.
Please share the information if any of u have.
Thanks
vinay.

This might help....
As you know:
Rich Client works like Designer and DESKI, I mean connections are from your PC to Database
Whereas Infoview/WEBI are from your BOBJ Server to Database
-Thanks,

Web rich client -- report tabs missing in edit mode

Hello,
A report was created in web Rich client and then was exported in the BO repository. In view mode, we
see all tabs, but in edit mode,only two tabs are displayed.
any idea please?
Thanks a lot.

hi,
I also faced the same issue.
I could replicate the issue suceessfully on a consistent basis.
STEPS to replicate the issue
1.     Create a new webi report using Island Resorts Marketing Universe
2.     Query Panel Objects
a.     Country, Resort, Service, Number of guests
3.     Run query (Tab 1 is created automatically)
a.     Report 1 u2013 Table containing above objects
4.     Right Click Report 1 - >Insert Report -> rename it to u2018Crosstabu2019
5.     Move the report tab to Left such that Crosstab appears as first tab
6.     Drag Crosstab from Templates.
a.     Pull Country and Resort objects as rows to Crosstab
b.     Pull Service as Column to Crosstab
c.     Pull Number of guests as measure to Crosstab
7.     Select Country -> Insert Break
8.     Select Resort -> Insert Break
9.     Select Resort First and Country Second -> Click on Merge Cells button
10.     Select No
11.     Now again click on Merge Cells button
12.     Select Yes this time.
13.     Save the report.
14.     View the report from Infoview. You will see both tabs
15.     Edit the report. (You cannot edit the second tab - Report 1. Edit the first tab u2018Crosstabu2019)
16.     only one tab is visible. Other tab u2018Report 1u2019 is missing.
Observations:
Report Footer appears as the top section in Map -> Structure
So my conclusion is when a reverse merge is applied on Crosstab with breaks, this issue occurs.
But i don't know how to recover the tabs in Edit mode.
Please let me know how to recover the missed tabs in Edit Mode. Also let me know the other scenarios which might lead to the same issue.

Vamsee

Webi Rich Client

Hello,
Can we access a universe that is on file server and run reports of it using webi rich client two tier ? If it is possible, how can we implement that?
Thanks

Hi Sumanta,
Our requirement is to store a universe on any shared location and all the users can access this universe and build reports using webi Rich client two tier. We are trying implement this by following steps.
There is an option in rich client to change the default universe location to save. When you login to Webi Rich Client and go to Tools-->Options, there you can give the shared location where the universe is saved. By doing this users can access the universe that is in shared drive, but all users must have a local ODBC connection to run the reports using Rich Client in Two tier.

Different values between Rich Client and Web Intelligence

Hi all,
our landscape is BO Edge 4.1 SP2 Patch 5
we just create a report in Web Intelligence with a query bics from BW
We discovered that sometimes the report retrives fake values from BW: the same report refreshed in Rich Client shows correct values.
BW data are frozen (updated only once a day)
We tried to:
- save report with Rich Client and published it in the public folder (but Web Intelligence still shows wrong data)
- upgrade Java Virtuale Machine to the latest release
- looking for system and BO log without any clue
- looking for SAP note (some info only related to BI 3.1)
Workaround: issue disappear only restarting BO SIA
Can you help us?
Any idea?
Regards.

Have you seen Web Intelligence and Oracle Java Runtime Environment Known Issues

BO XI 3.1 SP3 SSO with CMC and Webi Rich Client

Hello,
Is it possible in BO XI 3.1 SP3 to use SSO with CMC and Webi Rich Client ?
It works fine with InfoView, Designer and Desktop Intelligence.
Regards

Hi,
What kind of SSO authentication are you trying to set up? (AD, LDAP,...)
I think it's AD regarding your command line.
But be aware that in SSO, you don't need to configure the command line to run the client.
Have a look at the following guide.
[Configuring Manual Kerberos Authentication and-or SSO in Distributed Environments with XI 3.1 SP3.pdf|https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/sapnotes/public/services/attachment.htm?iv_key=002007204200000183782010&iv_version=0005&alt=2BCE4CB10DF674B172F4F3F7B32A284F49333135358877720E883731B332AF34CACD2AB52C0A2C8DCACA09084EF4CB494E4E0F2ECE8E2F89772908C9CE70CD2DF77675F7F2D1750C09514BCECFCFCE4C8DCF4BCC4DB5F575F4F4F3F57771F571F6F70B01B25D83D4120B0A722092A599504EB16D715E3E00&iv_guid=DF838310BFAAE8F1B486001A64C54696]
Regarding accessing CMC with SSO, it's not recomended at all as if you break this access, than you can't connect anymore to the CMC and modify settings.

Philippe

Alpha Sorting of Universe and LOV in Webi Rich Client

We currently are using both Webi and Webi Rich Client XI3.1 SP4 in Webi the universes and the LOV sort Alpha Numeric automatically, however in the Rich Client the list of universes and the LOV are not sorting Alpha Numeric. In designer we have all the universes with the Force_Sort_LOV set to yes
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated

Have you tried dropping the associated universe LOV and re-publish? This happened to us in the past.
Steps:
1) In the univ designer object properties, deselect the "associate a LOV" in Properties tab. Close. Save. Export to CMS. (this drops the LOV)
2) Go back in univ designer and check the associated LOVs again to rebuild then republish to CMS.
Does this work?

Variable screen of webi rich client differs from one of Infoview

Hello
We are on BO XI 3.1 sp3, universe of the top of SAP BI 7.01 query.Webi version 12.3.0
Char1 is set to delegated search. Variable1 for char1 is mandatory, multiple single values on SAP BI side.
Webi reports (executed from webi rich client) allows search by value for this char1. Webi report (executed from infoview) doesnt allow any search for char1.
Button FIND (match case) looks inactive. It doesnt start search.
I tried different combinations (see below) but it doesnt help.
*XXX
XXX
XXX
Does anybody know that cases the difference?
Thanks

Herr Kommandante
Does it make a difference if you switch between HTML and JAVA viewers in Infoview?
Does it make a difference if you switch between View and Modify modes in Infoview?
Are you patched to the same level on both Client and Sercer?

Henry

Thanks in Advance
Bhasin

Hello Bhasin,
I have few questions ans steps for you.
1. Are you able to login into any other BO client tool?
2. Do you have multiple Network Cards [NICs] on BO Server box?
If YES, we need to prioritize it as below. Once donw bind primary IP with CMS. as mentioned below.
Change Network Binding Order:
Click Start, click Network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then click Change Adapter Settings.
Press the ALT key, click Advanced, and then click Advanced Settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the Adapters and Bindings tab, and then, under Connections, click the connection you want to modify.
Under Bindings for <connection name>, select the protocol that you want to move up or down in the list, click the up or down arrow button, and then click OK.
Bind Primary IP with CMS:
Log onto Central Management Console (CMC).
Open Central Management Server (CMS) properties page, under
Host Identifiers: change from Auto assign to IP Address
Then input CMS server local IP address beside (IPv4).
Do this for each CMS.
Restart the CMS.
Good Luck

Webi rich Client Drivers Issue

Hi,
I am facing errors when i try to run the query in WEBI Rich client whereas when I run these queries directly on the server I am not getting any error messages. Based on the error messages, I think I might need to install some drivers. Can anyone tell me the drivers that we need for Oracle & Microsoft?
When i try to run a Query on the webi rich Client for the Universe that was connecting to oracle, i am getting the following error message:
Below shown are the errors that I am facing with 2 universes which are connecting to SQL Server.
1. When i try to run a query for the Universe that is built on Cube, I am getting the following error:
2. When i try to run a query for the Universe that is built on Datamart, I am getting the following error:
Please help me out here if anyone knows the solution.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
short answer to your question : it depends on what your consuming.
you need to find out the exact version of these sources (i.e. ORA 11.1? MSAS 2008 SP2? etc)
then identify the middleware from that vendor which is supported by our SAP applications. For that, you need to cross-reference the 'product availability matrix ' (pam) for your specific Service Pack of the BO BIPlatform . www.service.sap.com/pam
then, you need to look at the connectivity of your universes to see which driver they are using (ODBC, JDBC or OLEDB for example) and then download the right file from the DB vendor's site.
then make sure that you install 32 bit MW on your client tools machine, and 64 bit on your server.
You will then need to administer the ODBC data source names (DSN) everywhere .
Good luck!
regards,
H

Web Rich Client Login

Hi,
I'm having problems accessing BO Web Intelligence Rich Client. Here is our setup:
- SAP BO 4.1 SP2
- Two SAP BW backends
- Authentication for the 2 BW backends configured, users and roles imported
- Two OLAP connections configured, one for each BW backend.
My problem is configuring access to our 2 backends from the WebI Rich Client. I cannot choose what backend system i want to login to.
Therefore, the system automatically logs in to one of the backends, and I cannot open objects belonging to the other backend.
What I want is something like BI Launch PAD:
It has input fields for SAP system, and therefore I can choose what backend I want to login.
I tried to deactivate the "Default System" authentication option, hoping that some popup asking for system info would show up:
CMC Home -> Authentication -> SAP -> Options
But no system popup appears, and login failed.
Any help?
Thanks

Your reply was indeed very helpful, and I've already configured my systems, and its working fine.
However its not completely what I wanted, because for one system there will be a generic backend authentication, not user specific. Maybe what I want is not possible.
I will wait to see if anyone can dig further into this, but I will definitely give points.
Thanks

Which ports does Webi Rich CLient use to connect to Universe etc..

Hello together,
we have the problem that we cannot run Rich Client from computers outside our network - so which ports does webi Rich Client use to connect to BO Serverl?.
It will always say universe not found. Login to rich client and everything else is possible.
It's not an authorisations problem, inside the network people can run the programs fine.
Thank you

Hi,
i assume you have enable CMS port on the firewall, apart from this you need to enable IFRS and Connection Server port also.

Ramu.
