Scheduling Webi as CSV

Hello,
Is it possible to schedule a Webi report (XI 3.1 SP2) as a CSV document? I get only Webi/Excel/PDF option while scheduling.
Thnks,
Nikhil

Hi Thomas,
I see only Webi/Exel/PDF options. Is there a way to enable more options (like CSV) from CMC?

I just found out that we have XI R3.1 NOT SP2. Is scheduling to CSV afeature introduced in SP2?

Schedule Webi as csv output not working

All -
I have a requirement from an internal customer to provide a csv file from a webi document. If I'm in the document either via Infoview or WebIntelligence I can save as a csv; but if I schedule the document as csv the resulting output is really a wid. I've tried hardcoding csv as the extension but when you open the csv it is clearly not a csv. What is going on? Any solution?
Also, I've attempted to schedule the document via the CMC and csv is not an option.
I'm running BusObj XI 3.1 SP3
thx
patw

Is it possible ? schedule export WEBI to CSV

Dear Sir
Does Any one knows how to schedule export WEBI to CSV ?
Appreciate for your reply.

Hi Roger,
When saving/exporting an existing WEBI report the option to save as a csv file is available but when the same report is scheduled the
csv option is not available in the format section of scheduling.
Reproducing the Issue :
Select any Web Intelligence report and click Schedule. In the Format option, the list contains only "web intelligence", "Microsoft Excel" and PDF format. The CSV format is not listed in the option.
Cause :
The function is not avaliable now.
Solution:
Enhancement Request ADAPT00722335 is raised to address the request for BOXI R2.
Enhancement Request ADAPT01133105 is raised to address the request for BOXI 3.0.
Hope this helps.

SharePoint 2010: Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow is not sending ANY email

Hello,
I've a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise farm. I setup a Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow in a site collection with different web analytics reports options checked. So far I've not got ANY email. When I went to Site Workflows, I'm seeing that the workflow
is running. When I click on Completed status, I see below outcome in the Workflow History section:
"Email sent but reports with no data were not attached."
And I see below information in the Workflow History list:
"Attached are the daily Web Analytics reports for 1/7/2015 through 1/7/2015 for SharePoint Site Collection
http://server/team/site scheduled by workflow "SharePoint Site Web Analytics Reports". "
I am able to generate the reports manually by going to Site Collection Web Analytics Reports, but I want to schedule them. The problem is I'm not getting ANY email in my inbox. What am I missing here? Are the emails getting filtered by Outlook or workflow
is not sending emails at all?
Please help! This is getting frustrated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the email is not sent from the Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow.
I recommend to the things below:
1. Check if the Outgoing email has been configured for the web application where you run the Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow.
In Central Administration > Application management > Manage web applications > select the corresponding web application > click General Settings in the ribbon and select Outgoing E-mail.
2. Make sure that your account has email address configured.
Thanks,
Victoria

BO 4.0 Schedule Webi - Class not found Error

Hello,
We are using SDK concerning scheduling Webi-Reports to PDF-format.
Operating System: Linux
Business Objects 4.0 (SBOP BI Platform 4.0 SP02 Patch 6 )
We have developed Java - Program using BO SDK.
We are using ECLIPSE for development.
Regarding SDK Libaries we copied all libs from BO 4.0 - system (Unix Directory <businessobjects_root>/java/libe) to client for ECLIPSE.
Our program should schedule a Webi - Report to PDF format.
Java Coding is compiled without any errors, all required BO-SDK-Libs are included in source-code.
Already previously we were able to schedule a crystal report via Java program.
Unfortunately there are errors concerning scheduling Webi reports.
We published java-program to BO-server.
In properties of java-program we inserted name of class.
After running the java programm this error appears:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/businessobjects/sdk/plugin/desktop/webi/IWebi

Kind regards,

Hello Fritz,
Sorry - I completely neglected the important bit in your exception trace.
What you have is a Java Program Object.
The Program Object is being loaded by the Program Job Server child process, but the classloader is complaining about not finding needed InfoObject classes.
What's at issue is that, unlike for XI 3.x and previous, the default classloader classpath do not have the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK libraries pre-defined. You need to define it when publishing the Program Object.
I don't think what Terry mentions would apply to your situation, since that issue should be caught during compile time with the 4.0 libs.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Scheduling web intelligence reports from SAP EP Portal : Server Side Trust

Hello,
We have set-up SSO between SAP EP 701, SAP BI 701 and Business Object XI 3.1 to allow users to access reports without having to sign-on again as explained here :
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/09/19/businessobjects-and-sap--configure-sap-authentication
But, we have recently been contacted by some users because when scheduling Webi Report from a link within the portal they have the following errors :
u201CA database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901) u201D
The user told us that he doesn't encounter the error when :
Login in directly to the BO Infoview (without SSO from the SAP Enterprise Portal.)
The first Webi scheduling is succesful from the portal (I suppose because the portal token is still valid)
I understand that we also have to configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend as explained here , but I do not really understand its purpose
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646962008E/XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf
I've found a similar discussions here ;
Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports
I still have some questions :
If we configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend .
The Portal Logon ticket will remain an issue at some point of time , does it mean tha the WeBi report job sheduling should not be perfromed from the SAP EP Portal ?
We haven't configured the Server Side Trust , yet the users told us that they are able to schedule webi report directly from the BO Infoview ? How is it posible ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.

Thank you Mr Hilgefort for your detailled explanations.
I now have to provide some explanations to my managers, and to be honest , there are still some points that
are unclear to me, and it would be extremely helpful if could confirm (or not) the follwoing points.
When scheduing Webi report from the sap portal, we're getting SSO errors.
SAP provide the follwoing note explaining how to extend the validity of the J2EE token (Portal token), but this is not a long term solution, at certain point of time the ticket will expire. Webi shceduling should not be perfromed from the Portal.
Sap note 1352127 - Scheduled Webi report fails with: A database error occurred. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket
Webi Scheduling should be performed from BO Infoview. SNC should be configured between BO server and SAP BI7.0 backend.
We should Configure Server SNC as explained in the BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide at Chapter "Configuring SAP for server-side trust". (1341043)
The SAP Portal is not involved here and is not an option even with the configuration of SNC/Server side trust.
thank you for your patience.
Best Regards.

Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

Hi,
Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.
CF

Hi Christopher,
Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

Date error when scheduling webi reports

Hi,
When i click the prompt option in re schedule the scheduled webi report, i got the error "while trying to invoke the method java.util.date.gettime() of a null object loaded from a local variable 'date' "
The BI version is 4.1 SP03
The scheduled webi reports failing and got the error as "Unparseable date: "01/01/1900" "
How to solve this issues?
Regards,
Kathir

This might fix it from the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1981477
Create a WebI report that uses a date object in the Query Filters
Schedule the report
Reschedule by manually entering date value which shows only date and no timestampExample: 12/31/2007
Reschedule by selecting date value from the calendar which shows date timestampExample: 12/31/2007 12:00:00 AM
Create a biar file using the Import Wizard and migrate to BI 4.1 SP2
BI 4.1 SP2 BILaunchPad, navigate to and Right click the report and go to “History”
Right click the instance without a timestamp for the date parameter and select “Reschedule”
Click on “Prompts” on the left menu and note an error is produced:This error occurred: while trying to invoke the method java.util.Date.getTime() of an object loaded from local variable ‘date’
Attempting to schedule this instance (as Run Now or Reschedule) without selecting a Prompt value fails with the error: Unparseable date: “12/31/2007”
Using the instance with a timestamp works as expected

Getting multiple error while refreshing or scheduling WebI report

Hi BO Admin Experts ,
Feacing multiple errors while refreshing or scheduling webi reports in BI4.0 CMC ,
Please find the below errors :
1)report schedule status failed
2)Parameters : xxxcorp-franklinee; ATOu supply unv
Error Message : An internal error occured while calling 'ProcessDPcmndsEx' API (Error:ERR_WIS_30270)
3 ) Format : WebI
Parameters : 10000000000159270
Error Message :CORBA error while communicating with the SL service
Could you please help me on the abive 3 issues for the WebI schedule reports
Cheers ,
Pradeep Gorpadu

Hi,
While refreshing the WEBI Reports would recommend you check the WEBI PROCESSING Server's last changed date from CMC--> Servers.
Check when you are refreshing the reports, do you see the time stamp changed of WEBI PROCESSING servers?
Do you keep getting this error messages for all WEBI reports? Can you re-produce this with simple e-fashion reports as well?
After that go to the node where WEBI PROCESSING servers installed and check on the event viewer details if you see any relevant error messages.

Upendra

Scheduled Webi Reports Don't Open on iOS's MS Exchange Mail

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to write this post but I will try anyway.
We are using BO 4.0 SP6 and schedule webi reports as attached xlsx of pdf in e-mails.The problem is that the attached pdf's and excel files don't open right away in iPhone's native mail application when using MS Exchange. A tiny question mark shows up on the top corner of the attachment and when you tap on it, it asks which application to use to open it. We can choose iBooks app for example to view the file. We would like the attachment to open right away as we tap on it as it does usually.
Here are some test results:
-We have observed this issue on iOS 8. However, there are rumors that it started with iOS 7. Same rumors suggest that it would work fine before iOS 7.
-We use iOS' native mail application with a MS Exchange account set up.
-We have also tested it with a gmail account set up next to the exchange account. The attachment opened with no problem.
-If someone forwards the mail received from the BO server, to another exchange mail, the attachment opens just fine.
-We have no problem opening other exchange mails with attachments on mobile.
We suspect, the exchange mail can't confirm the sender address thus can't trust the attachment if it is really a pdf-excel file. So we tried scheduling the webi report with a valid mail address in the sender information box but it didn't work.
Has anyone came across such a problem?
I know this issue involve SAP, Apple and Microsoft and each one will point the other for the blame. But any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Emre,
Though this appears on Mobile, this belongs to Webi Product team. As the schedule of Webi reports and the email output would be controlled by them. They can work with Apple to identify the cause and fix the defect. Hence, you can post your question in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence
I would also recommend that you contact Webi Product Support through the official channel http://support.sap.com/incident

Xi 3.1 SP3 giving java null pointer exception error on scheduling webi

after we have the system uptime running for a few days and have schedule webi jobs successfully for a few days, we constant get the message java null pointer exception error on scheduling webi.
This only have days after restarting the environment.

Only doing a stop all services and restart resolves the issue.
