Rich Client

Can I force my users to run the Rich Client thru infoview? I don't want to run around to all my users and create ODBC entries.
Any advance would be appreciated.

Ok. I see what you mean. There is no direct way to do this. You will essentially need to use the Enterprise SDK of your choice.
That said, there was script for XI R2 that copied a test users' preferences to all users. In the script below, the Administrator's preferences are copied to all users. This (or some modification) could work for XI 3.x. Also. this requires a Windows environment.
The script is [here|http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=75331].
Unfortunately, I can't seem to post the script itself here. I get a "Method Not Implemented" error.

WIJ 20002 xml Parser Problem - Rich Client

Hi,
I have a problem with the rich client on a new installation:
Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 on Windows 2008 Standard.
If I connect with the rich client "import document"is disabled.
if I try to create a new document from the rich client it returns the error below (I used the rich client on two workstations):

Have you any solution?

The fixpack 3.5 client resolves the problem.

ps Java version is the last one, and i run my trial on a windows xp sp3 via oracle virtual box. I used express install.

Seems Java version problem.
Can you change Display properties for existing and new query objects : "Read Cell Content as" to "HTML" and see ??
If you can, then use Java build less than 20 : JDK1.6.0_20 less to this like _17 or _18.
It solves your problem.
One more reason you are having multiple Java versions installed on your machine.
Work around:
Uninstall all installed Java versions.
When you are working on Infoview, to view WebI reports data , at that it will ask you for Java Virtual Machine Install, now install it, which works good now.
Thank You!!

WebI report in Rich Client refreshing - But not in the webbased WebI client

Dear experts,
I am quite new to BO and I am currently facing the following problem regarding our WebI reports:
I created a WebI report in the WebI Rich Client. This report accesses an OLAP universe, which in turn gets data from a SAP BW through a BI query. I also exported the report to the CMS. In InfoView, it is displayed correctly as well. The report displays the data alright.
Now here comes the strange part of it: When refreshing the report from within the WebI Rich Client, the data is being updated (the current BW data is being shown) as it is supposed to. BUT when refreshing the report from within the WebI Java client (in InfoView), the report would not update, i.e. it would not display the current BW data but instead the old data. When scheduling instance creation the instances would also not display the current data.
We are am running BO XI 3.1, no FixPacks.
Does anybody have a clue why this is happening?
Any hint would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
Best,
Kai

Hi Ingo,
Many thanks for your reply!
The report would not refresh after I hit "Refresh data" ("Daten regenerieren" in German). Plus the newly created instances (one instance is being created every 5 mins) would also not show the current data.
The funny thing is that as soon as I go back to the Rich Client and hit "Refresh data" in the Rich Client, the report would always show the current data, never the old ones.
We should probably continue discussing in just one thread (Scheduled WebI report instances with differing values), this issue seems to be interrelated somehow anyway. Sorry for opening up multiple threads.
Thanks and best regards,
Kai

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

WIS 10901 error while refreshing report in rich client

I'm facing a strange issue while refreshing a report from Rich client. Here are details
Environment: BO XI 3.1 SP3, Oracle application DB. Weu2019ve 2 BO servers (S1 and S2) on cluster and load balancer (common URL) in front.
While login to S1 with 6400 port, I can refresh report in rich client.
While login to S2 on 6400 port or using common url, during refresh gives below error u2013
u201CA database error occurred. Database error text is: (CS) u201CDBDriver failed to load: C:\Program Files\.....\dbd_oci.dllu201D (The specified procedure canu2019t be found) (WIS 10901)u201D
Iu2019ve installed oracle8i client on my system. Any idea what causing this issue?

Yes. Oracle 10g client installed on both application server. I've teste the universe connection from server, it's working fine.
Any idea what could be probable causes of "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program Files\.....\dbd_oci.dllu201D error?
One observation, the path of dbd_oci.dll is the BO installation directory of my local machine (on server BO is not installed on C drive). Why it's referring dbd_oci.dll from local client even in 3 tier mode?

Inconsistent date formats between Rich Client and HTML client

Hey All,
Just wondering if anyone has come across an issue with inconsistent date formats from a universe based on an MS SSAS 2012 database connection in 4.x?
The value of the date is returned as a string from the query but the object data type has been changed to a Date object meaning BusinessObjects should convert the string into a date if the format is correct.
The problem in this is that the date being returned in Rich Client is in dd/MM/yyyy format whereas on the Web Client is in MM/dd/yyyy.
From the Web Client business objects will return a date, however, it is a mix of MDY and DMY format.
i.e. 15th of March will be displayed as 15/03/2014
whereas 12th of March will be displayed as 03/12/2014
All our application servers are configured for English (Australian) regional settings meaning all dates should be in DMY format.
The date in the database is stored as a non-ambiguous yyyy-mm-dd format so it appears the variation is occurring somewhere between the database and BusinessObjects for the Web Client based reports only.
I have also checked the sqlsrv.prm file based format and changed this to DMY but this has also not made a difference.
The same universe in 3.1 and MS SSAS 2008 works correctly but not this one.

Hi
The date in the database is stored as yyyy-mm-dd format.
As per user request.... Set the date format @ the Business layer level. so it will refelct same as in the WebI.
Please find the below link. how to use custom Display option.

Query in Rich client

Hi
would like to write below query in rich client where i have written in SQL.
select location,
SUM(case when priority='1'and sholders like '%XXX%'then 1 else 0 end)as 'Total P1callsof XXX',
SUM(case when Priority='1'and sholders like '%XXX%'and sla_violation=0 then 1 else 0 end)as 'TotalResolvedcallsinBHRS XXX',
from Stakeholders group by Location
I have tried with SUM,IF ELSE conditions but end with errors. Help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I have finally designed query as measure variable but not getting any output as it is parsing successfully. please help. Also let me know how to insert this measure variable to a column.
Snap for your reference and tell me how to apply group by function and without group by function query will not give output.
Below is my sql query:
SUM(case when priority='1'and sholders like '%XXX%'then 1 else 0end)as 'Total P1callsof XXX'from stakeholders group by location.
Am getting output of above query.
And measure query is:
Sum(If([Priority]="1" And [Sholders] InList("*XXX*");1;0))

Select Query Resutls - operand for WebI Rich Client XI3.0 not available?

Hi ,
Using Deski we put a filter condition on a query using the deski query panel. Also we can select resutls from another query in the same report (query from a differen dataprovider) using the operand Select Query Resutls(any).
However in Web Intelligence Rich Client for XI3.0 we don't have this operand so we can not filter using results from another query in the same report.
Does anyone know how to work around this problem?
Know any plans for this feature ? As you all know, this is an extremely powerful feature.
Rgds,

Minkook,
Does anyone know how to work around this problem?
Rich client allows you to import a text or excel file on the fly to your report. To filter what you have you could build entries into the excel file, import, merge dimensions and voila, have your filtering done. It does seem dumb to do it this way when a quick filter is all you want. I'm with you in that the quick filter functionality would be highly desirable.
Thanks,
John

I am trying to change the default paper size for Webi Rich Client 4.0.

Report Developed in Webi Rich Client Consuming more time in Data Retrieval

Dear All,
I am a BO Consultant, recently in my project I have developed one report in Webi Rich Client., at the time of development and subsequent days the report was working fine (taking Data Retrieval time less than 1 minute), but after some days its taking much time (increasing day by day and now its taking more than 11 minutes).
Can anybody point out what could be the reason?????
We are using,
1. SAP BI 7.0
2. SAP BO XI 3.1 Edge
3. Webi Rich Client Version :12.3.0 and Build 601
This report is made on a Multiprovider (Sales).
What are the important points that should be considered so that we can improve the performance of Webi Reports????
Waiting for a suitable solution.....................

Connection error in Webi Rich Client Bobj 4.1 sp1

Hello Experts,
I am getting an error while connecting Bobj server(4.1 sp2) through Webi rich client (4.1 Sp1).
When i am trying to connect to CMC, i am able to connect it.
Please help on this.
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
Regards,
Mahesh

Webi Rich Client 2-tier Vs 3-tier?

Could anyone explain what is 2-tier and 3-tier for Rich Client?
Thank you

When you login 3-tier will show a web app (j2ee or .net) in the system information, as it must connect to the connection server through the web/app. It will use the XI 3.x servers middleware connection for refreshing report data.
If you launch it from infoview a file will be created on your local computer called something.extranet and this file will contain the web/app connection information for connecting.
When using 2 tier connections will be made from the local computer, this requires middle ware to be set up on the workstation(s). Performance will be faster in 2-tier as a benefit. When using 2-tier only a CMS or clustername will be entered in the system.

Tim

ADF rich client: How to automate testing

Hi Experts,
We need to do some automate testing against application that is developed with ADF Faces 11g, I've tried with loadrunner 8.1, which provides 2 approaches to record web applications, web(html / http) and web(click / script).
According to my experiment and this article , it's not feasible to record actions to rich client app with the first protocol.
As for the second one, according to my test, some of actions works and the others not (for example, input field, expand accordion).
My question is, Is there a solution to fully automate adf 11g UI interactions? Solutions based on loadrunner is preferred.
Thanks for any help,
Todd

Thanks CM.,
Sorry I didn't make my question clear. Selenium does fit in AJAX well, but seems that it lacks of ability to do stress test, what if we need highly concurrent workload(say, 5000 users)? Can selenium RC or some tools else generate that?
And, are you sure that loadrunner 8.1 is not feasible to do stress test against ADF rich client apps? I need a good reason to persuade my bosses to consider adopting new tools.
Regards,
Todd

Adf Rich Client - Free or License?

Hello!!
In previous post, you say the Adf Rich Client will be free when a production version is available, all right?
Then, you have a idea of a date to Adf Rich Client goes into production version?
What the license for Adf Rich Client now? I can developer my comercial applications with the Adf Rich Client?
Thanks and congratulations for your good job with the Adf Rich Client!!!

Frank,
First of all thank you for your support on this forum.
I have a hypothetical question though... In our development process we are entering a phase when we need to start working on application... We took a look into Jdev11 and ADF RC, and really liked it - it has many components that our users are already used to in Oracle Forms, like dropdown menus, toolbars and most important the ability to have spread tables. We are wondering, if we start development with Jdev 11 next month and are planning to have the application production ready by the end of Q12008, what are our chances of having Jdev 11 to be production ready, and how significant the changes will be between the current version and prod release?
I understand, you cannot answer these question, but could give me a hint, or a 'wink' as to what to expect. I would really appreciate it. We could start going with Jdev 10.1.3.3, but we really like new componnts in Jdev 11.
Thank you,
VO
