Reports are Larger

I am in the process of migrating a collection of reports from native SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008 R2 integrated with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. Reports that render within a minute in 2005 will not render in 2008 and usually crash the browser. I have
checked the Execution log and the reports are completing within roughly the same amount of time, but the report in 2005 is 100K in size and the report in 2008 is 84MB in size. I am using IE8 to render the reports and I saw some information saying that
this can be a problem. I upgraded to IE10 and the problem persists. I have also read that upgrading to CU7 for SQL Server will take care of it, but that is not the case for me. The latest recommendation is to turn off autogrow for all cells
in the tablix. That did not help either.
I am looking for some suggestions about how to diagnose, what to look for, or how to fix.

Hi DavidCochran,
In order to solve the problem more efficiently, I need to clarify some information. Is the report in 2005 and in 2008 R2 the same report with same time in Execution log? And the size of the report has been increased from 100KB to 84MB? If the two reports
are the same report, the reason why the size of report in 2008 R2 getting too large, but with the same time in Execution log? That’s too strange. If those are two reports, we can render a same report to check the issue again.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Large scheduled DeskI reports are corrupt, but reported as successful

Hi, everyone.
One of our customers have recently upgraded from R2 to XI 3.1 SP2 + FP 2.9.
It is a standalone system (not clustered) running on Windows Server 2008 64-bit.
All BO server settings are default settings.
The problem was found when testing reports after migration.
After migrating, they have problems with some of their large reports.
These reports contain several prompts, and will take more than 3 hours to complete if the selection criterions are not limited significantly by using the prompts.
This was not a problem in R2.
The problem is as follows:
If one schedules the report and limits the data to retrieve, say, one month of data only, the reports schedules just fine and the instance can be opened without problems.
But, if one increases the time period to a year, retrieving a lot of data, we run into problems.
The history of the report will tell us that the report has run successfully, but when we open the instance in InfoView the report will immediately fail with an error message which just says Error: INF.
Nothing more.
I then tested by finding where the physical files for the instances were located in the Output File Repository using Query Builder.
The small instances can be opened directly using DeskI full client.
When opening the reports which gave me Error: INF in InfoView, I get "Unknown Error. FRM0007." in DeskI. This indicates that the u201Cbigu201D reports are corrupt.
Also, if we schedule to PDF, the PDF generated only contains "placeholders" for the data.
See this link for screenshot from a part of such a PDF. [PDF with errors|http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n597/AffectoASM/datalabels.png]
So the problem is: The scheduled reports runs for more than 3 hours and are reported as being successful. However, the report instance generated is corrupt.
Do anyone here know what might be the cause of this?
Thanks!

Appreciate the response, although I do not understand the SMB reference as I thought iSCSI was a direct block transfer. Indeed the memory load does increase during the period of the network activity. So caching applies to iSCSI
direct block access as well as SMB? Apologies for my ignorance.
iSCSI is cached on client side just like any physical disk (marked removable or not). So files you copy go to Cache and Memory Manager cache before traveling down storage stack pushed by Lazy Writer. So you see what you see: smaller amount of writes (<RAM
size) go immediately to memory and then storage stack, TCP, iSCSI and network actually kick in.
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

Is there any way to track what reports are actively running on BOE?

Good Afternoon.
I am looking for a way to track the names of what reports are currently being run on Business Objects. We are on Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP3 and from what Iu2019m aware, the servers can show the administrators how many connections and how many jobs are running, and the auditing command can track when a report has completed/failed (from what I understand), but nothing really tells us what reports are actively being run.
The purpose of this is to measure impact for an emergency restart of the server, track down reports that are taking up system resources, and debugging issues involved with the SDK.
Background: We have several reports hosted on Business Objects, both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence. These reports go to different universes and databases and use several different accounts depending on the project (no central generic accounts to the databases). Sometimes when people are running several large reports (some being upwards of 1 million rows) the users will open one, leave it to run and go to open several others, killing our session limit and resources on the server. In addition, there have been times in development that restarts have been required but there was no way to tell what reports were running, just the number of them, and in several different spots (RAS, Page server, etc.).
Wish list (If my first priority is answered, Iu2019m also looking for the following):
- One to one associations of what reports are being run by what users.
- A centralized location to see what reports are being run by users opening them and what reports are being run by users scheduling them.
- The ability to u201Ckillu201D a report that is taking too long to run by a user.
- Possibly an interactive dashboard showing the number of active reports verses the serveru2019s limit, what reports are set in queue, etc.
- The u201Cstageu201D a report is running in, so if someone is running a report but its stuck at the prompt for a variable stage, querying data from the database, getting data back from the database, producing and processing the data to the screen, etc.
If Iu2019ve missed something in the Business Objects tools or if someone knows of a way to extract this type of data from the Business Objects server (3rd party tool or custom fix) I would appreciate the assistance. Thank you for your time.

Brian,
I don't know if you tried using the Query Builder.
The query below (or some modification of it) may be of some help.
SELECT
SI_SCHEDULEINFO, SI_NAME
FROM
CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 1
The SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_SUBMITTER property in the query result will give you the BOUSER value of the user that submitted the job.
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS takes the following values:
0     The job is currently being processed by the job server.
1     The job completed successfully.
3     The job failed. Check error message.
8     The job is paused.
9     The job has not started because dependencies are not satisfied (e.g. Events)

How to determine if reports are being run/used

I have two Crystal report environments. One being version 7.5 and the other is version 10. Between them, there is a very large number of reports (1000's) that accumulated over the years. I am looking for a way to be able to tell which reports are being run and actually used. By used I mean actually being pulled from the repository. I do not know all the specific details of the environments and not a CR expert so it is hard for me to provide too much more details. Any help or suggestions on how to try to determine which reports are being used is greatly appreciated.

You mention; "Crystal report environments"
and
"pulled from the repository"
Question is; what is the Crystal report environment in your definition? E.g.; what is the actual product? It could be what used to be called Crystal Info (v 7), Crystal Enterprise (v. 10). Or it could be an app written by someone in your organization. Or it could be an app written by a 3rd party.
In any case, getting answers for these products will be difficult as you're looking at products that are close to 10 years out of support (v. 10) and well over 10 years out of support (v. 7).

Exchange 2010: ActiveSync Report shows large amount of hits. So what should I do?

Hello,
We currently use the ActiveSync Report to run a daily report of Hits on the Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5 CAS servers (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/01/31/a-script-to-troubleshoot-issues-with-exchange-activesync.aspx)
The script will report a large number of hits for several users, for different reasons. The question I have is what do we do about it? It's great to know we have a large number of hits, but I'm not sure why and what to do about it.
Examples:
1) No User, DeviceID, DeviceType (the columns are blank) and it shows 19,000 hits. Almost all are from IIS_4xx (what does that mean?)
2) A user with 16,200 hits and it looks like 15,661 were from PING
3) A user with 3,493 hits and it looks like 3224 were from SYNC
Any advice on how to investigate and resolve the data that the daily script for ActiveSync hits reports?
Thanks!

WHY are there so many PINGS for some device, and so many SYNC for others. And why is one deviceID/UserID blank?
because it is how the ActiveSync Client is setup. You will need to have the users to upgrade their client. for e.g. iOS verion (dont remember the version number) has some severe issue back in the past and brought down the CAS server due to so much log generation.
If your user still have the old OS/iOS on their device then you have to have them upgrade.
Why the userid or device id is blank -- I have no idea but I can't of there may be some Android devices.

CC 5.2 Detailed reports too large for Excel

We are upgrading Compliance Calibrator from 4.0 to 5.2. We are required to run several large scans that result in more than the Excel limit of 65,000 lines. CC truncates the reports at the line limit. Has anyone found a way to export these reports in full so we can work with all of the data in MS Access?
Thank you.

If you run the reports in the background you can retreive the raw files by going to the server. The default location is \usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS<instance number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\virsa\bgJobSpool\ if you haven't specified a different location in the configuration tab.
Files on the server can be identified by Job ID.
The different types of reports are labelled as follows:
[JobID].d.0 = Technical Detail Report
[JobID].s.0 = Summary Report
[JobID].m.0 = Management Summary Report
[JobID].e.0 = Executive Summary Report
[JobID].i = Information about the job
Ways to get the files.
Use an FTP program to connect to the share.
Be sure to transfer files as "text" rather than binary. However, if you are transferring a zipped file, transfer as "binary."
Using SAP GUI (ABAP method)
Log into the ABAP side of your NetWeaver installation.
T-code: AL11 (maybe there are other t-codes that can access the filesystem also)
Browse to the directory on the server: /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<instance number>/j2ee/cluster/server0/virsa/bgJobSpool
Use standard SAP GUI functionality to save the file locally, as unconverted text.

Long Running ( 8Min) Reports are not able Preview in client browsers

Hi,
I have converted Reports 6 to 6i and is running on 9ias.
Reports which are taking more than 8 min are not coming up in client browsers. I have checked in the report output directory and the reports are created there. if i manually browse the reports by giving the path they are coming. Quick run reports are working fine and are coming in cleint browsers.
can any one help
naveen

Hi Naveen
Looks like the browser is timing out. I suggest you to pre-create "long" report beforehand so that the users do not have to wait.
The hard way out, of couse, is to optimize your report, if possible.

11.1.2- Need to find out what reports are being executed by a user

Hi,
We have financial reports executed from workspace.In essbase session , only the user id is displayed and the Request type- mdxreport is displayed. We also tried searching the log for Financial report didnt find anything relevant.
Is there a way to find out what reports are being executed by the user.
Thanks in advance.

STAT will give you the information for a limited period of time and is limited to the server which you are logged onto yourself. Beyond 24 hours it is of even less use even if you change the selection screen values.
If you want it for a period way back into the past, then you need to use ST03N.
There are at least 2 dependencies and 1 confusion:
1 dependency) The length of period is determined by the size (length) of the file. You can change this in ST03N (default 50MB) via the menu settings.
2 dependency) The stat collector jobs need to be scheduled to write the information to ST03N (once per hour is a legal requirement in some non-banana republic countries).
1 confusion) There is an obscure function which converts a report submit to a transaction name (there is not much difference anyway) and an even more obsure one which filters what ST03N will record and therefore whether you can read it. You can (un)filter these things away if you search the SAP Marketplace for the term "MONI".
What is of particular value from this control is that you can even detect a submission of an abap which only existed temporarily.
Also note that having this information is potentially very powerfull with respect to the users (some of them are human too), so you should expose and use it responsibly.
You should also ensure that only responsible users / auditors have access to S_TOOLS_EX.

To find whether the reports are in use or not for a given period

Hi Basis Gurus,
We have an requirement here that the client wants to know that the whether the reports for a given period are in use (working) or not.
I think we can do it when we have audit logging activated ,but now we dont have audit logging activated now.
Let me give you an example below
Suppose for past 1 year 100 reports are prepared and out of 100 reports 95 reports are not working and remaining 5 reports are working.How can i get the detials from the SAP system without audit logging activated.
Please help me
Regards,
Anil.

Hello,
See if ST03N helps you.
Switch to expert mode in ST03N. Naviagate to Workload > Month > month . Click on the available month. Then in the " Analysis Views" visible on the lower LHS, Select transaction profiles > standard. See if you have your 'Z' report in that.
Thanks and regards,
Anish

Some reports are not displayed in Windows Vista and IE9

Hi,
as the title says, I had a problem with Windows Vista.
I'm using CR2008, VS2008, and .NET 3.5 to develop web form.

Reports are not opening after SCCM 2012 R2 Upgrade

Hi,
I have upgraded my SCCM 2012 SP1 to R2, After that I am unable to run a report and getting below error
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The DefaultValue expression for the report parameter ‘UserTokenSIDs’ contains an error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Seems it is a known issue after R2 upgrade,To resolve this issue we need to change the registry value for "EnableRbacReporting" to "0" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP.
It was fine for some time,Later its value reverted back to "1" on its own and again reports stopped working.
Is there any other way to resolve this issue in order to make sure my reports are always available
Please help me.Thanks

Please help me what steps needs to be done so that all my saved reports return data.Do you know if anything has changed in the database or the RPD from the first time you ran those reports? Did you try running the physical query of the reports against the database to see if you are able to return results quickly?

Reports are not working in BI 4.1

Hi,
Hi,
Environment: BI 4.1, SAP BW and Oracle 11g.
Users are imported from BW.
I am facing issue in 4.1 sp2 After migrating 4.0 to 4.1.
All UNV reports are working fine except reports on Oracle
Database in BI launch Pad, those reports are working fine in Rich client.
I have installed Both 32 and 64 bit Oracle drivers in 4.1 servers.
Thanks in Advance

This is a known and common issue and also we have encountered this after moving to 4.1 SP2..
This is actually related to the DSL bridge service not available to use or not running which will only affect UNX based report and BICS report but UNV and rich client would work as they do not use the DSL services...The actual reason of this is there are some JAR files which are needed for this service and got corrupted while installing
You or your admin has two options for this ( If you already tried creating a new APS dedicated for DSL Bridge and it does not work)
1.If you have a stand alone installation and not a cluster check the installation log file and repair the installation
2.This is how we fixed.. If you are in a clustered environment then if the one of the App server is running fine for the DSL bridge server .. We copied the JAR files relevant for the DSL bridge from the APP server which works fine for the DSL bridge server and put those files on the server not working.. once this is applied we needed to restart the server and create the APS with DSL bridge service which started and worked fine..

Reports are not called from form in browser plz help

Hi,
I have installed 9iAS+8.1.7 database on the same machine with NT4 server.My system's forms(.fmx) are running well but my reports are not running from my main form.i call reports from the
from as,
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx12.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);
Actually want to know the report's setting when calling from the from in a browser(environment variables,virtual paths etc.).
My database is installed in drive E:\8idb_home\ and 9iAS is on
G:\9iAS_home\.My systems .fmx & .rep files are in "iforms" and "ireports" folder respectively.
Plz help!
Many thanks!

Hi,
First of all thanks to Vincent Botteman for solving the prob.
Yes when i changed my call of run_product by excluding the path i have specified when calling from form it then makes a result.
Also specified the entry of your reports .rep files by giving path in reports60_path registery variable as,
Run regedit-->Hkey_Local_Machine-->Software-->Oracle here give the full path of your .rep files as an first entry in reports60_path variable.And finally not mention the path when calling reports from form as,
Run_Product(reports,'xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Correct way.
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Wrong way.

Reports are not posting with report repository webserver configured for Sin

Hi Everyone,
We have configured Single Signon on our Test environment (UADB1) using Sun Authentication Manager. Everything went well, we can login using our LDAP accounts except for one thing. The reports are not posting to the report repository.
Our setup goes like this. We have used only one webserver for login and for report repository purposes. SSL certificate was configured in the webserver and we are using https in the report node. Both URLs https://dv001.test.com:8450 and http://dv001.test.com:8400 were configured for Single Signon.
Report Node Definition
Node Name: uadb1
URL: https://dv001.test.com:8450/psreports/uadb1
Connection Information
https
URI Port: 8450
URI Host: dv001.test.com
URI Resource: SchedulerTransfer/uadb1
Below is the error I am getting. If I will use another webserver which is not the Single Signon configured as report repository the reports are posting. So, I am thinking this has something to do with the Single Signon setup and SSL. ANy idea? Thanks.
