Schedule XI3.0 Webi report to Inbox

Hi there,
my customer schedules a simple Webi report to Inbox and it fails with the error;
"login error. [Internal error: Unable to initialize the session manager.]: [CrystalEnterprise.Managed]
Are there any rights that need to be added to the Adaptive Job Server to "enable" this functionality?
I checked the user account boadmin (Business Objects Administrator) is used to start the BO software and owns the processesu2026
Directory permissions for /export/home/boadmin/bobje/data/procSched/cgsmprpt01.AdaptiveJobServer read, write and execute for boadmin
All other schedules work fine.
Installation is Solaris10, XI3.0 unpatched.
TRACE log reads;

[Wed Oct 7 09:56:25 2009]     1353     14274     assert failure: (../ocaframework/ServiceMgrFactory.cpp:94). ((s_svcMgr != NULL) : s_svcMgr shouldn't be null when release).

Any ideas?

Hi Prashant,
The users have the "Schedule to Destination" rights and the Destination plugin is configured\enabled on the Adaptive Job Server.
The problem seems to be with the Adaptive Job Server, logging in and\or launching the Session Manager, but only when the Destination is Inbox.
I know that the Adaptive Job Server can request the report from the Input File Repository Server then connect to the database to retrieve datau2026finally copy the report to Output FRSu2026however whichever service\subcomponent is responsible for then copying it to the users Inbox canu2019t do sou2026 I assume the users Inbox is actually a meta data configuration which is held in the CMS configured databaseu2026 so it must be inserting\updating a record somewhere which it canu2019t do for some reason.
Do you have any ideas on gathering further information on the Session Manager?
Thanks,
John

Failed Scheduled webI reports

I am running a BO Enterprise 3.1 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have recently updated to SP2. I am having the issue of any webI report that I would like to schedule that was created on 3.1 pre-SP2 and post SP2 fails when scheduled. My webI reports that existed on BOXI R2 seem to be behaving.
I'm getting the following error.
"Could not save the document to the repository for the following reason: [repo_proxy 17] unable to find the info : unknown session (WIS 30567) "
A work around seems to be re-writing the reports in deskI, but there are too many of them for that to be feasible.
Any ideas?

I have encountered the same error today. We upgraded to XI 3.1 SP2 a few months back, but this is the first time I have seen this error. I read the SAP NOTE 1381401 on the support site, however the Note doesn't mention any work around. I took a stab in the dark and restarted the servers AdaptiveJobServer, AdaptiveProcessingServer, InputFileRepository, OutputFileRepository, WebIntelligenceProcessingServer from the Central Management Console. This seemed to resolve the issue, although I probably didn't need to restart all of these servers.
The SAP Note mentions in the Symptoms that this occurs in a clustered environment, but our environment isn't clustered, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

My scenario Is , I want to create Schedule , If the Web reports have data, i want to send it to User A,B,C But if the Web reports have no data , I want to send it to User D And E
In other way
How can i create Schedule to check if the reports have data , send it to Specific user , if not send it to other user
How to do that by Detail Please

Give it a shot with BO Publication. You can send the reports to different email dynamically based on contents. Not sure, if this works for the blank values!

Broad casting Webi report in excel format to different users email ids

Hello,
Seriously looking for the help, please help with the solution for below scenario.
We have a requirement to schedule broadcasting of Webi reports to users email in excel format from infoview. But our concern is how the system takes care of authorizations of users when we broadcast the report to their mail id as excel file.
For example we have one webi report for Finance and there are thousands of users for each department, cost centre etcu2026so how to broadcast the same webi report in excel to different users with only data they have authorized to see. We have committed to client that we can do this with out much massive overhead, please advise what is the easiest way to achieve this. I read something like this can be done using authorization profiles in CMS but creating those many profiles and mapping them to relevant authorizations is not possible as there are thousands of users with different authorization levels. And Client is expecting this broadcasting need to be done automatically with out every time manual intervention.
Looking forward for the prompt reply.
Thanks,
Gani.

Please use the Dynmanic Recipients functionality of the Publication.
For this we need to do follow steps.
1) Create the WebI Report that needs to be published(Broadcasted)
2) create Deski/webi report which contains the user details and email id's for publishing main report.
3) Map the properties of souce report with Dynamic Recipient report.
Please refer the user guide for more inforamtion.This helps you in avoiding manual creation of profiles in CMC.

Siva

Schedule webi report to destination to Inbox AND send email notification

I'm writing a new process that will schedule a webi report. The output of the report needs to be delivered to multiple user's BO Inboxes AND an email notification (without the report attached) needs to be sent telling them that they have a new report to view in their Inbox. Trying to mimic how this is done via CMC Schedule - Notification and Destination tabs.
I can get it to deliver the report to the Inbox and I can get it to send an email seperately, but the problem I'm running into is that I can't get it to do both in the same process. Here is the code snippet that I've written. Any assistance would be appreciated.
// Retrieve the managed plugin
IInfoObjects managedInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Managed'");
IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject)managedInfoObjects.get(0);
IDestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)infoObject;
IManaged managed = (IManaged)destinationPlugin;
// Set the destination to inbox
IManagedOptions managedOptions = (IManagedOptions)managed.getScheduleOptions();
managedOptions.setDestinationOption(IManagedOptions.CeDestinationOption.ceInbox);
managedOptions.setSendOption(IManagedOptions.CeManagedSendOption.ceCopy);
managedOptions.setIncludeInstance(true);
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID1));
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID2));
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID3));
scheduleInfo.getDestination().setFromPlugin(managed);
// Retrieve the smtp plugin. to send email notification
IInfoObjects smtpInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_PARENTID = 29 AND SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Smtp'");
IInfoObject smtpInfoObject = (IInfoObject)smtpInfoObjects.get(0);
IDestinationPlugin smtpDestinationPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)smtpInfoObject;
// Set to email notification on success
ISMTP smtp = (ISMTP)smtpDestinationPlugin;
ISMTPOptions smtpOptions = (ISMTPOptions)smtp.getScheduleOptions();
smtpOptions.setServerName("mailhost.XXXXX.net");
smtpOptions.setPort(25);
smtpOptions.setDomainName("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setSenderAddress("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setSubject("Indicative Data Update Reports");
smtpOptions.getToAddresses().add("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setMessage("Test Message");
smtpOptions.setSMTPAuthenticationType(CeSMTPAuthentication.NONE);
scheduleInfo.getNotifications().getDestinationsOnFailure().add("New");
scheduleInfo.getDestination().setFromPlugin(smtp);

One thing to keep in mind is that "scheduling to SMTP" is different from "scheduling with email notification", and it looks like you're conflating the two. The ISchedulingInfo.getDestinations() is the access point for scheduling to SMTP and ISchedulingINfo.getNotifications() is the access point for scheduling with Notification.
> scheduleInfo.getNotifications().getDestinationsOnFailure().add("New");
You'd add the SI_PROGID of the SMTP Destination here, and work with the returned IDestination to set the destination parameters.

Problem scheduling webi reports with XI3.1 pending forever

Hello,
I've got a problem scheduling webi reports with XI3.1 scheduler.

How does schedule with RESTful API a Webi report for a group of users ("Schedule For" to "Schedule for specified users and user groups" with one or more users/groups)?

SAB BO 4.1 SP1
Does it have an RESTful API to schedule a Webi report with the parameter to specify a group of users ("Schedule For" to "Schedule for specified users and user groups" with one or more users/groups)?

Hello Ricardo,
have you try a call like this one ?
    <schedule>
      <name>"test"</name>"
      <format type=\"webi\"/>
      <destination>
        <inbox>
         <to>userId1,userId2,userId3,groupId1,groupId12</to>
        </inbox>
      </destination>
    </schedule>

Scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL.

Our customer found when they scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL, it will cost much more time than usual after they have their SIA restarts.
The first time it takes 4-5 times longer to receive a report in mailbox than next time onwards.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Hi Abishek,
If the schedule is taking 4-5 times longer to schedule following the SIA restart I suppose it is possible that the Webi Job Server and Webi Processing Servers are not fully registered with the CMS - can you check that.
Also can you test by ensuring that if there are any Webi Job Servers\Webi Processing Servers in the environment which are stopped\disabled, can you retest after deleting those servers. There is a bug with XI3.1:
ADAPT01371367
Description:
Scheduled jobs often have a delay when the system is upgraded to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP 2.2 or FP 2.3.This problem also happens when some of the servers required for scheduling are stopped and disabled. In this case, the Adaptive Job Server (AJS) tries to confirm if all available Webi Report Servers are running, and this causes the delay in running the scheduled jobs.
New Behavior:
This problem has been resolved.
Do you have a test system where you could install FP3.1 and check the fix?
The only "workaround" I could suggest would be to ensure that all services needed for the schedule are running\enabled (Adaptive Job Servers and Webi Processing Servers). This will stop the Adaptive Job Server from its continual querying for those servers. The adverse effect of this is that the more unnecessary services which are running will necessitate increased network communication.
To check if this is the actual issue you are hitting, you would need to trace the schedule and check for messages like this in the logs:
[2010-08-27 12:02:08,769] [TID:24] [ERROR] [webi.PublishingHelper.<init>():89]: unable to retrieve all mandatories servers to proceed this job
Alternatively, log a message with SAP Support for further investigation.

Kind regards,
John

How to Get List of Webi Reports in CMS which are scheduled?

Dear Experts,
I want to generate list of Web Intelligence Report which are scheduled.
In addition to above, if I get destinations and in case BO Inbox of mail recipients, list of recipients we be an added advantage for me.
is there any way, I can achieve this using SDK or sum of that matter?
Any Clue / Suggestions will be a great help for me.
Thanks you,
Regards,
Sachin Dalal

You can use the following query:
Select * from ci_infoobjects where si_name='<webi report name>' and si_instance=1
This will return all scheduled instances in their default location for specified webi report.
For each object you can retrieve:
((IProperties)((IProperties)oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo().properties().getProperty("SI_DESTINATIONS").getValue()).getProperty("1").getValue()).getProperty("SI_PROGID).getValue().toString : returns managed for instances scheduled to enterprise user's inbox.
((IProperties)((IProperties)((IProperties)((IProperties)oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo().properties().getProperty("SI_DESTINATIONS").getValue()).getProperty("1").getValue()).getProperty("SI_DESTSCHEDULEOPTIONS").getValue()).getProperty("SI_OUTPUT_FILES").getValue()).getProperty("1").getValue() -> returns the integer value of the SI_ID of the user where the report is scheduled in the user's inbox.
Query for the instance in the query builder and you can see the structure for SI_DESTINATIONS property bag.
Hope this help.

Distributing WebI reports to BO inbox Destinations via 'Send To' Feature

I'm on BOE XI3.1 and I need to allow users to distribute WebI reports from their favorites to other user BO inboxes via the 'Send To' feature. All works fine but the sent reports doesn't get delivered to the selected destination. It ends up in the Temporary Storage with a 'failed' status
ie. recipient error. [[CrystalEnterprise.Managed] ([1]/[1])]: [bobj1]
I followed the instructions from this forum thread granting the user rights specified but without success
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=138015&highlight=inbox+destination
Is there documented notes on how to grant the correct user/oject rights to enable this functionality to work? My users only have 'View on Demand' to public folders. A user with Administrator rights can send reports to inboxes without any problems.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Hensen for the lead.
I finally resolved the problem by granting access to the Everyone group of the ALL INBOXES top-level security as follow:
- grant View access for objects (this was the kicker)
- add rights to Content / Web Intelligence Report / Add Objects to the Folder

Webi report runs in schedule in mins, times out when trying to modify

I have a Webi Report that runs in schedule copy sent to an inbox (takes a minute to run)

Any ideas?

To increase Java heap size on the client computer, check SAP NOTE# 1201179 - Error: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" when attempting to edit large Web Intelligence
Symptom
In BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2, when attempting to edit large Web Intelligence documents, the Internet Explorer browser stops responding. In the Java console, the following error message appears:
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError".
Cause
The error message occurs because the instance of Java on the client computer has reached its memory threshold.
Resolution
To edit large Web Intelligence documents, the default memory size on the client computer must be increased.
To increase the default memory size
Click Start > Control Panel > Java Plug-in > Advanced.
Type "-Xms128m or -Xms256m" for the Java Runtime Parameters.
Click Apply.
Close all Internet Explorer windows.
Retry the report.
To automate the process the user can also create a script file that will update the deployment.properties file on each users' workstation. The file is located under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment folder.
Modify the deployment.javapi.jre.<version>.args parameter in the deployment.properties file and add the xms and xmx parameters, for eg:
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0_12.args=-Xms128m -Xms256m
The Web Intelligence document can now be edited successfully
