Session management in URL reporting

Hi,
I have problems with the session management while calling reports from our own web-app.
We host our reports (.rpt) on a CrystalReportsServer 2008 running on a Tomcat. This CRS is configured with 20 CAL (ConcurrentAccess Licences).
On the other side, our Intranet, running on another Tomcat.
Our Intranet provides UI allowing users to determine the parameters that will be passed to reports. For some reasons we do not want to use InfoView now but keep using our own UI to call reports. The idea was then to call them through OpenDocument (or viewrpt.cwr) passing parameters in the URL.
In our Web-app, I authenticate the user to the CRS, retrieving an IEnterpriseSession. I then get a token for my calls to OpenDoc. But then, each time I call OpenDoc, a new CAL is picked out. Even if I logoff, only one CAL (the one belonging to my IEnterpriseSession) is given back.
As our users often open and close lots of reports, we run very quickly out of CAL, although the reports are now closed and the user gone.
I thought using a token would have allowed us to consume only 1 CAL per user, using the same CAL for the different calls.
Is my reasoning wrong or is it my code..?

When creating the token , use "CreateWCAtoken" function this will not increse the session count in CRS.
You might be using CreateLogonToken function
Arguments passed to these two functions are same.

Hyperion Smart Cut Session Issue streaming multiple reports at a time using

This is a lengthly post with details, Please review with Patience:
We are trying to integrate Workspace based web Analysis reports within our intranet portal, thru portlets (made from individual workspace smartcut link), so that users can customize their page as needed, Once they login thru intranet, Cookie is set and passed to succeeding smart cut links via secured http headers. This part is fine, but mainly running into issue with streaming several multiple web-analysis reports at a time,+ we are using Iframe to display and stream multiple individual reports on to one page, but unfortunately all Iframes are sharing one session rather than creating individual session, mostly because of limitation of current web analysis system architecture and IE browser behavior with sessions .
Which Hyperion reporting tool does allow to stream multiple reports at a time? ideally we want to create Iframe of each workspace report so that users can customize and pick portlets as needed. To stream multiple reports at a time.
Problem Description: Hypeiron Web Analsysis, Smart cut reports incorrectly rendering images and intermixing dash boards on POV changes upon multiple reports being diplayed at one time thru Iframe's, issue seem to mostly relate to Hyperion using single session rather to multiple session when displaying several web reports at a time.
Steps Needed To Reproduce:
User logs into workspace.
user click on expolore and able to view the report without any issues.
When right on any of the report and select properties.
Select the SmartCut url and paste it in the Internet explorer.
The webanalysis report opens without any issues.
Similarly user copies the smartcut url for a different report and paste the link on a different tab or new window of same browser.
The report on the first tab gets over written of the report of the second tab of the browser.
The issue happens when two different reports and opened on a browser with multiple tabs. The reports get over written.
Oracle development answer:
In the described scenario opening new browser window does not spawn a separate independent browser session. A new browser window is supplied with URL pointing to the same domain, so all browser cookies including the "ORA_WA_SID" (WA session cookie) are shared between the windows. But multiple application instances cannot run in the same browser session simultaneously because of session sharing. This is not actually a defect, but rather a limitation of current system architecture and browser behavior. And there is no way to fix it programmatically on the product side.

Hi MeHyper,
Your current arrangement puts most of the session handling and persistence on the client. This forces you to accept whatever the client decides to persist and propogate between browser elements (in this case iframes).
My approach would be to:
Consider coding your portlets to manage the sessions. Manage using a somewhat stateless strategy so that each request to the server requires a login and connect, retrieve, and disconnect. Each Iframe should access a different portlet url (or provide a different query) based on its content.
This way, in theory, you can invalidate the sessions and related cookies and update the various report elements independently.
Is smartview out of the question here?

Session management problems with SSO

Hi all-
I've been getting an Apex app tied to SSO as a partner app (per http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). So far, it sort of works. If I go to my apex app, it redirects me to SSO, where I authenticate and end up back in the apex app. Great. Here are two problems I've run into:
1. If I am already authenticated to SSO, and I go to my apex app (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1), my browser goes into an infinite redirect (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:::::FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL:\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\). To resolve, I have to clear cookies.
2. If I am using my apex app, then log out of SSO (in another browser window), I can still click around in my apex app (i.e., apex thinks I'm still authenticated).
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm wondering if I need to do something in page session management (under authentication schemes) to fix #2, but I have no clue about #1.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Scott-
Thanks for the info on #2 - I'll work on that after I get #1 sorted out, since it's the more dire problem. Here's some more info:
Apex version = 3.0.1.00.08
SSO SDK = ssosdk902.zip
I set it up as "My Application as Partner App." I used "MY_PARTNER_NAME" as SSO Partner Application Name. In the list of SSO Partner Apps on the SSO Admin page, my partner app name is also MY_PARTNER_NAME. It gives the following info:
Login URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
Single Sign-Off URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout
Home URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
Success URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex/RBLICK.YOUR_PACKAGE.PROCESS_SUCCESS
Logout URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
RBLICK is the schema owning the apex app. In there, I created a package called YOUR_PACKAGE:
create package YOUR_PACKAGE as
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2);
end YOUR_PACKAGE;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY YOUR_PACKAGE AS
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2) as
begin
wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso.process_success(
urlc=>urlc,
p_partner_app_name=>'MY_PARTNER_NAME');
end process_success;
END YOUR_PACKAGE;
Anything look obviously wrong to you?
Thanks!

Bug in session manager. If you work for Sun, please take a look.

While evaluating what it would take to transition from Iplanet 6 to Sun Webserver 6.1, I found a problem with the Sun Webserver's s1ws60 session managers. If the page is not explicitly flushed before ending, the session cookie JSESSIONID is never sent. So as long as the user continues to visit small pages, they keep getting new sessions (because they are never sent a session id, so the session manager creates a new one every time they visit). The session cookie is sent if larger pages are visited (the buffer is automatically flushes). The session cookie is also sent if out.flushBuffer() is explicitly called within the JSP. This problem was not present in IWS6.0.
The problem has been tracked down to a combination of the code in com.iplanet.server.http.session.IWSSessionManager (found in the "plugins" directory) and the JSP's Java code generated by a component of the webserver (Catalina?). Under Iplanet, the code generated in the finally{} section of the JSP first flushed the buffer, then called releasePageContext. Under Sun Webserver, the code generated just calls releasePageContext without explicitly flushing the buffer before the call. When flushing the buffer for a non-committed response, the headers are first generated and sent, along with any cookies, including the session cookie. The server only sends the session cookie if, among other things, the session satisfies "_session.isNew()". The order of events in releasePageContext ensures that this is never true when used in combination with IWSSessionManager. I don't have the source code to verify this, but from experimentation I think this is the reason: Before the buffer is flushed, the session is saved by IWSSessionManager.update(session), which at line 498 calls "sn.unsetNew()". So the session is never isNew() when it gets around to sending the session cookie. This can be resolved by either adding an explicit buffer flush to the finally{} section of the JSP, or removing the unsetNew() call from IWSSessionManager. Since I don't know where the code that generates the JSP is (or if I can even change it), I ended up removing the sn.unsetNew() call from the update() function.
Here's the code generated in the finally{} section using IWS6 and Sun Webserver:
Iplanet 6
        } finally {
            if (out != null && (out instanceof org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspWriterImpl)) {
                ((org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspWriterImpl) out).flushBuffer();
            if (_jspxFactory != null) _jspxFactory.releasePageContext(pageContext);
        }Sun Webserver
        } finally {
            _jspx_releaseTags(_jspx_curTag, null);
            if (_jspxFactory != null) _jspxFactory.releasePageContext(pageContext);
        }

I posted a bug report on this.

The fact that it doesn't know what the format is
might have to do with the problem. I've had similar
problems, and I've traced it back to missing jars and
codecs. Have you tried running the same code locally
without the transmission to see if you player will
even play the file?Already and it works, I used Player to play it and play normally, I try to make it with the diferents codecs of audio and video, but no sucess.

What's the role of jsessionids in ADF session management?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to ADF and I've had a client ask me if ADF is using jsessionid consistently for sessionization.
From a quick google search it sounds like all J2EE applications will be using jsessionids as part of their session management, and it doesn't look too difficult to access this information programmatically. Can anyone elaborate for me on what exactly jessionids are and whether they are guaranteed to exist if a session of an ADF application has been instantiated? Basically I think I know the answer to my client's question is yes, but can anyone help me understand the role of jsessionids in ADF apps and other J2EE apps?

Hi.
This is a basic behavior in all Java application servers, as it is mandated by the Java Enterprise Edition specification. The ID is used to match the HTTP request to its session object. Basically, the web container will add jsessionid to the URL when the session id cannot be saved in a cookie. This behavior can also be enforced through settings in weblogic.xml, for example, if you are using WLS.
ADF is built on the top of JEE; consequently, it uses jsessionid in exactly the same way as any other Java application.
Best Regards,
Frédéric.

Why not construct an intermediate page after the
login page that has SESSION_UNSPECIFIED and
a refresh META tag. The page can then refresh
to either the login failed or login succeeded pages
depending on how the login went! Looks like...
1) Login page (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED)
2A) Refresh page (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED)
< HTML >
< HEAD >
< META http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;URL=<a href=
"http://www.blah.com/forte.cgi?PageName=3">http://www.blah.com/forte.cgi?PageName=3</a>" >
< /HEAD >
< BODY >
Login succeeded. Please wait...
< /BODY >
< /HTML >
2B) Refresh page (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED)
< HTML >
< BODY >
Login failed.
< /BODY >
< /HTML >
3) We're finally in. (SESSION_REQUIRED)
I'm not sure if this works on internet exploder.

Subject: (forte-users) Session management for page builder
Hi everybody,
We have a lot of legacy code making use of the page builder service to
produce web pages. These pages were originally written without session
management. I'm now busy adding session management to them, but there is
one problem with this approach and I will appreciate if someone can shed
some light on it. Here it is:
Page one is submitted.
Some validation (authentication) takes place and depending on the outcome,
either page 2A (SESSION_REQUIRED) or 2B (error page with
SESSION_UNSPECIFIED) must be displayed. In order to implement this, I
needed a place to make a decision. The way I've done it, is to pass a
'virtual page' (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED) to the page builder service. The
validation is done here and request.PageName is then replaced with the
PageName of pages 2A or 2B. The HandleRequest() method is then called
again. The problem is that the ValidateSession() method does not get
invoked again, thus allowing 2A through without a session. How do I make
sure that the ValidateSession() method get invoked again?
The approach making use of templates look to me as if it has all the means
to do this (redirect tag), but I don't want to rewrite everything if I
don't have to. Is there a way that a pagebuilder page can be specified by
the redirect tag? This will definitely help, but so far I've only managed
to call templates from the redirect tag.
Is the template approach better suited for session management? It is
definetely better documented...
Regards.

Session management thru SOAP services

          Hi I am trying to deploy our application in a clsutered environment. Previsouly
          I had some problems with http session replication. That problems were solved but
          now I have another problem.
          Our application has multiple clients, some are browser based and some are swing
          based that use our SOAP services.
          all browser based clients use httpsession for session management, since weblogic
          replicates the httpsession, we have no problem clustering http webapps. But SOAP
          services has no access to httpsession.
          We have implemented our own session management (we cache the app specific session
          objects) so that SOAP services works fine (SOAP services doesn't have access to
          httpsession, so we could not use httpsession for session management). Each method
          in our soap services takes a sessionid and we get the session objects (not http
          session objects but our app specific session objects) based on the sessionid.
          But now that our application is clustered, the session cache mechanism doesn't
          work since its not replicated thru out the clusters.
          I thought I could use stateful session beans to cache the sessions, but how do
          I cache the SFSB thru out the session w/o sending any references to the SFSB to
          the client. I know I can send the Handle reference to the client but We cannot
          change the SOAP API now. The only information client has is the session id.
          My question is: How do I use SFSB w/o changing my soap services method paramaters.
          My SOAP method looks like methodName(String sessionid, ..............)
          I could use a clustered cache but we can't buy anything in the current situation.
          Any help would be appreciated.

Well, does the DSM log have any details? (see [Note 529924|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/529924] on how to view the logs)
My guess is that you are using different protocols between the dispatcher and a backend system: they both have to use HTTP or both use HTTPS (as described in the same note). That would also explain why the URL for the direct connection to the portal doesn't present the error, if that URL has the same protocol as the backend.

ITS iView and Session Management in Federated Portal Network

Hi,
We use an ITS iView for an HR application in the Portal. When used in federation the session management doesn not work correctly. We fill in a selection screen in the begin of the application and then run the report. When we click the back button in the Portal and then reload the app, the selection of the previous session is used, in stead of showing a new selection screen.
This only occurs when used in Federated Portal Network. SAP OSS already pointed out that the USR_ABORT command is not given in the consumer Portal. How can we make sure that this command is given, so that the session is correctly closed? How can we set these session management properties and options?
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Solved it. It is done in the federation configuration. In SAP Note 880482 - Central Note: Federated Portal Network (SAP NetWeaver 7.0) the problem is identified, specific for SPS13. The two properties of the producer: External Hostname and External Port were not updated properly and needed to be changed manually.

Cfdiv and session managment

I am working on a website that uses session managment for
security login.
The site was developed with CF6, and we are now trying
migrating it to CF8.
Currently, forms are submitted passing the session token in
the URL like this:
<form
action="Assignments.cfm?<cfoutput>#session.URLToken#</cfoutput>"
method="post">
</form>
I'm trying to integrate CFDIV into the code, so I have
<cfform>
</cfform>
<CFDIV bind="url:AnotherForm.cfm ...>
When I run this, Instead of including "AnotherForm.cfm" the
session is not getting passed and the system logs me out.
I've tried
bind="url:AnotherForm.cfm?<cfoutput>#session.URLToken#</cfoutput>
(also logs me out)
and putting the code in a
<cfdiv>
<cfform
action="AnotherForm.cfm?<cfoutput>#session.URLToken#</cfoutput>">
</cfform>
<cfdiv>
Doesn't abend, but doesn't do anything either.
So, does anybody know how to incorporate cfdiv into session
management?
thank you,

Yes, entity managers are allowed to have one transaction active at any given time.
Assuming that you have a resource-local entity manager (from your comment about JDBC and non-JTA data sources) then any container-managed transaction associated with a session bean is going to be a JTA transaction and be completely independent of the entity manager transaction (as long as the non-JTA-data source is properly set to a data source that is not a JTA data source).
If you are using a non-JTA data source element to configure your database then the entity manager will simply do a getConnection() on the data source. If you are using the JDBC persistence properties in persistence.xml then the connection will be obtained directly from the JDBC driver.

Hide parameters of URL Reporting using Open Document

Hi,
I just want to know if I'have to use SDK to improve URL Reporting on SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.0 ?
I have to hide the connection parameters as "apsuser, ...etc" in order to show a simple and safe URL to extract reports.
Just want information about "how to do that and what I need to do thaht ?"
Regards,
William

Unable to initialize session manager

Hi, We are on BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS and we are using SDK to open reports. We ran 1200 users performance testing and we got just 15 failures with the message.
Error in RetrieveReport Internal Error:Unable to Initialize session manager
When I open CCM using Program filesetc then I use to get same error message :"Unable to Initialize session manager". When I search for the ccm shortcut and launch that then it works fine. Now its totally missing from Program Files>> Business Objects options.
Any idea what is the cause? Not sure if this error is related.

This could be because previously only 512 MB was assigned to each sessions. We increased this to 1024 and we are not seeing this error message. There is a registry entry "WINDOWS" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems.
In WINDOWS Key the value is "WIndows Shared Section=1024,3072,512" We made it to "WIndows Shared Section=1024,3072,1024"
Thanks,

FF29 fails to load Session Manager, old tabs, any add-ons, Cool Preview, etc after upgrade on XP

FF29 fails to load Session Manager, old tabs, any add-ons, Cool Preview, etc after forced upgrade on an XP system. Connecting to sites, especially support.mozilla.org requires numerous retries. Clicking Add0on shows none of the previous working ones. They are gone. No Session Manager at all. Even reporting this has taken over 3 hours. Yesterday, everything worked fine before the restart to 29. What can be done to recover settings from 2-3 days ago? Thanks for keeping it simple!

Thank you for your question. Once history is gone, there is not a big chance of getting it back. However there are some places to check. For next time, try to backup your profile [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup].
The crash reports from your troubleshooting information is caused by a hang in the Flash plug in version 13. I understand however that this is an issue with the history.
*[[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
*[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/ Cache Viewer]] is an add on to help you search through the dates of the history

Session Manager - SQL QUERY

I want to get the query fired by OBIEE to database. I'm able to get it through the session manager in the Administration Settings. But for some reports it is firing multiple queries.
Is there any way to combine them?

Hi,
It depends on your datamodel. If the BI server 'thinks' it is the best way to get the desired results it makes multiple queries and stitches the datasets together into one result set. You can raise your logging level to see what happens.
Good Luck,

Where do I find the Session Manager?

Post Author: sven
CA Forum: Authentication
Hello,Trying to figure out how users can access the reports from InfoView without having to authenticate themselves to the external SQL-server DB all the time. On Page 94 in the document called 'Business Objects Enteprise XI Release 2 Administrator's Guide' I find the following text: Use the session manager to create a trusted principal and log on to the CMS:ISessionMgr sessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();ITrustedPrincipal trustedPrincipal = sessionMgr.createTrustedPrincipal("userName", "cmsName");IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession = sessionMgr.logon(trustedPrincipal); Where can I find the session Manager? I can't find it

Sven,
The reference to Session Manager is more of a concept of operations versus an entity. The portion of code that you copied and pasted in your post is actually part of the verbiage used in an ASP script that BusinessObjects expects you to create in order for you to obtain your objective. You can use this coding to create your own customized script or you might be able to search around on the web for a more complete solution.
