CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hello. How can I replace the report by the latest instance created? What I mean is, we have a report and we have schedule it to run everyday. What I need is that the link to the report (the report name), opens the latest instance created (so, I don't have to click on "View Lastest Instance"). Thanks. Manuel

Hello.
I found the solution:
1. Log on to the Central Management Console.
2. Click BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications and click InfoView.
3. Scroll down, select View the latest successful instance of the object under the Object Listing section and click the Update button.
4. Log off InfoView and then log back in and open the Web Intelligence or Desktop Intelligence report.

Dashboard based on Crystal Report's Latest instances for the logged in user

Hi,
I am trying design a dashboard based on LiveOffice-crystal report's latest instance for the logged in user. Also there is row level security in the universe on which the crystal reports is created.
In the live office connection i have selected 'latest instance by current user' in the refresh option and published the dashboard to InfoView.
when i open the dashboard in InfoView , i find the row level restrictions being applied for different users. But the data retrived is always on-demand data and not based on the latest instance of the logged in users.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue.
Thanks

How to hide the view latest instance option for the reports in XIR3

Created an access level and denied the rights "view document instances" and "view document instances that the user owns" in the access level.
Applied this access level for a particular group on a particular folder.
Login to Infoview and when view the history,there are no instances for a particular report under that folder.
But we could still see the 'View Latest instance' option in the properties of the report and when click on it,we are able to view the report.
As per the security assigned,the user should only be able to view the instances owned by him.
Plz help me how to hide the option in INFOVIEW

In 9.3.1 (not sure about 9.2) there is a table in your BIPlus repository which stores preferences/profile information, however, having a user simply log in to WA doesn't appear to automatically create a row for them in this table. (So this may not be a viable solution to your situation, I'm still looking for one myself.) This table stores lots of preference info such as whether or not to show the Main Menu, Toolbar, Masthead, etc. by default.
To hide the View Pane, edit the data in the SHOW_INFO_PANEL column, change it from a 1 to a 0 and for that user the View Pane will not longer appear by default.
HYA_USER_PREFS
But again, this only works if you already see the user in the table otherwise I guess maybe they have to 'touch' their Preference before it creates an entry in that table. Haven't figured that part out yet, and Support didn't have any information.
If anyone has found a way to maneuver through the table structures I'd love to hear any insight you can offer.
Before you make any changes to the data in this table be sure to take adequate repository backups, and use caution as usual.
I'm going to create a Shared Preference and have each user point to it the first time they log in - but then you lose the ability for each user to have their own personal folder as their default, so it's still not the ideal solution. Really wish there was a way for Admins to set certain prefs. A coworker reminded me under 7.? or 6.x things like View Pane were system-level settings which was easy to control, but now it's at the user level.
Good luck,
Karen

How to sync the latest instance' of scheduled report with the report link

I've scheduled one report daily and it seems to be working fine: I can view the latest instance or I can do it from the history.
But when I'm trying to open report using traditonal link to the report, it shows only content based on the last save manual event after refreshing.
I'm looking for a way to sync reports under 'View Latest Instance' link and Report link.
Any ideas?
thx

Jacques, thanks a lot, it is very helpful.
But now I got another headache, the link to that report shows the latest instance, but 'View' link points to old report manually run and it can be confusing for customer.
What will be next logical step: remove 'View' but how or I can add time-stamp to each report to highlite when the report is produced
Any suggestions?
anyway, many thanks for your help

View latest Instance Option in Dashboard

Dear Experts,
Could you please tell me the advantages of VIew latest Instance Option in Live Office Connection in case of every user has different authorizations.
Please answer the below things.
1)If we create a Dashboard using the View Latest Instance option after scheduling the Report,what are things we have to do so that every user can see the data
based on his related authorization?
2)If users are more number ,then is the View Latest Instance Option in Live Office Connection is the right option,in case every user have his own Authorzation?
If yes ,how the dashboard ll work for different Users?
3)Users how can see the dashboard in which they should able to see the data related to their Authorization?
Could you please share ideas related to View latest Instance Option?
Regards,
Venkat

HI Wolfgang - not sure it's possible. You'd probably have to leverage an alternate scheduling 'destination', i.e. if for instance you schedule to a users Inbox, then they should see the latest instance in their inbox - no right-clicking required to open that. Possibly impractical if separate instance is created for each user - though I'd hope this wouldn't be the case if the report contents are the same for everyone.
Cheers, Ferdie.

BO 3: View Latest Instance by default

Hi gurus!
I have an issue i cant resolve. Please, help me with adivce.
I made a bex with no variables. The one variable is bex date that equals current date (0P_ERC01).
Then i created universe in Universe Designer, base on this bex. AFter that i've created report. This report will transfer data to the dashboard via QaaS.
As the report will have much amount of data, i want it to be scheduled for everyday execution. So, everyday business user will open a dashboard and will get cached current date information from the latest instance.
For this purpose i want to use standart scheduling in BO InfoView (vers. 3).
How should i do this?
For testing i've created a test report and scheduled it to execute every 5 minutes:
The last successfull instance was at 10:04.
But when i open a report (not an instance) - i see the data, that i was updated manually at 09:44
How can i get a fresh data in report, a data from the latest instance?
Now i can get this data just by pressing "View Latest Instance"
So i want my report to be refreshed by latest instance every time when the instance is executed successfully.
Waiting for your questions and advices.
Thank you!

Doble click on a report, it opens the latest instance.
Right click, then view, opens the report. there is no way that by clicking on 'View', you get the latest instance.
best regards,

"View Latest Instance" as Default in BOE XI 4.0

Dear all,
I am using a BO BI Platform 4.0 to deploy Crystal Reports in my organization. These reports are scheduled daily, users are viewing these reports via the BI Launch Pad.
Now I want to protect my users from the need to click first on the document and then on the "View Latest Instance" as this would most likely be asking to much of them. So - I would like to make the "View Latest Instance" the default behavior when users click on a document.
I read a couple of forums and it seems up to XI3.1 this was possible. However, is seems that the feature is gone with BIP4.0.
Or is there still a method to achive what I want?
Thanks & best reagrds

BPEL Console doesn't show any instances created

Hi,
We are using file protocol to read the files from trading partner into B2B. File is successfully processes by B2B. I can see that in reports.
Then I have defined a BPEL process to Dequeue the messages from B2B using AQ Adapter, transforms and places the files in the local file system.
The BPEL process is simple flow with one receive , transform and invoke activity.
I have configured AQ adapter using WSIF browser. I can see the deployed document definition in browser.
I have the TP agreement deployed, BPEL process deployed, but I don't see the 850 file processed. BPEL Console doesn't show any instances created. How would I know where what went wrong?
Please help.

Try using java oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.data.IPDequeue to dequeue the message and see if you can dequeue
Then you'l be able to pin point if the issue is with your BPEL or with B2B Queue's

Unable to view latest instance in BO Infoview XIR2

Hi,
I am unable to view latest instance in BO Infoview XIR2. Can any one please let me know general procedure to cross check in Infoview or Consol
Thanks in Aadvance
Regards
Sweety

Hi Sweety,
What happens if you login as the Enterprise Adminstrator account, do you get the option to View Latest Instance?
- What do you mean exactly when you say you cannot view the latest instance?
- Are you missing the option/context menu or is the incorrect report displaying?
I would suggest working with your Enterprise Administrator to ensure you have sufficient rights to View the latest instances. However, if you're not able to select the option check out this SAP Note:

Latest Instance using BO enterprise SDK

Post Author: sureshpolishetty
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
How to get the lastest instance of a report stored in crystal enterprise server (XIR2) using BO Enterprise sdk?.
Can anybody help me with the query(using CI_INFOOBJECTS table)?
Thanks

Hi
The following query will list all the last successful instances of a report.
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report'
AND SI_INSTANCE_OBJECT = 1
AND SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 1
AND SI_PARENTID= 22842
ORDER BY SI_ENDTIME DESC.
The last Infoobject from the Infoobjects returned would give the latest instance id (SI_ID).
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to config for only "View Latest Instance" is available in infoview ?

Hi,
The BO version is "BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0"
The purpose is in infoview, for each report user can see, only the feature "View Latest Instance" is available.
I have tried to set the access right, but at least, the user has below features:
View
Properties
View Latest Instance
History
New
Add
Organize
Is there any idea to do remove the "View" feature but keep others there ?
Thanks & regards,
Forest
Edited by: Forest lin on Dec 5, 2008 12:06 PM

Hi Forest
I would like to make following suggestion :
The option "View" and can not be removed. It is the primary right to access the Report.
If there is no right "View Objects", Report will not appear in the desired folder.
It is important to have "View Objects" right which will make "View" appear. Once this right is present
rest of the situation for Report can be imagined.

Two earlywatch reports for same instance in one Solution manager

Hi
i am trying to create two solutons for early watch reports for same instance. let me explain here.
In SAP Solution Manager: Active Solutions >>> i have two solutions like this
Solution                                                          Early Watch Alert Reports
Avnet Global Solutions         >>>> here i have configured the PR1, PB1 PCB instances
PR1                                      >>>>>here i configured the only PR1 instance.
so i have configured the same instance in two solutions.
i am not gettting the early watch report automatically after after configuring like this . but manually working fine.
when i kick of the report manually working fine.
here my question is ... do i can create two early watch reports in one solution manage for same instance or not. if yes then why i am not getting report automatically.
Thank you
Vish

Dear Paul,
Thank you for your response
this is what i got from SAP.
Hello Vish,
You can have the same system in different solutions. With regards
to why the report is not generating automatically, please review
SDCCN on the satellite system.
I dialed into the system and found that the SDCCN for PB1 is not
downloading the sessions from Solution Manager.
I would recommend that you deactivate and then activate SDCCN.
Tcode SDCCN -> GoTo - Settings - Task Processor - Deactivate
Tcode SDCCN ->Utilities -> Activate
Then create a Refresh Session task and verify if the upcoming sessions
are getting pulled down to PB1.
If you need help with this, please let me know if it is fine with you
if I make the necessary changes to get the system working.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Jared Singh
