Universe Designer - Port connections

Hi there
I'm not sure if this is in the right category, so please move if need
A 3rd Party did our BOBJ installation, and left the system to us to look after. whenever users open up Universe Designer, it connects to a <random> port, the first time the system started up, it connected to port #: 49771. After a server downtime restart, it now tries to connect to port 59339.
Seeing as we need our telecoms provider to open up the correct (and not sap standard) ports, i need to know what i can do to force it to use 1 port, each and every time.
Is there a way to do this?

You must configure the port and requestport on the CMS server and Input FRS.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Error when setting up connection from Universe Designer to Oracle database

Hello,
I am attempting to create a connection to an Oracle 10 database in Universe Designer. I am currently running Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a 32 bit machine. I have the Oracle client installed. In Universe Designer when I attempt to create a new connection using the Oracle 10 client I receive the following error.
CS:DBDriver failed to load : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found.)
The dbd_oci.dll file does exist in the directory listed above. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Brock

Hello Brock,
Do you have multiple SQL clients installed on your system? If so, uninstall the previous versions. Check if the PATH variable is set to correct bin path and then try testing it again.

Unable to find BW Query while creating connection with universe designer

Hi colleagues,
I've got BOE XI 3.1 SP2, Integration for SAP 3.1 SP2 and the following inssue )
Some of BW queries that were previously released for external access and succsefully used for WebI reports now cannot be find while creating a connection in universe designer. Those are still releasde for external access but I'm not able to find some of them in the list, tried search as well.
Has anybody faced the same problem?
Thanks

URGENT: Connecting BPC 10.0 with BI4.0, with Universe Design Tool

Hi all,
I have quite an urgent question that I need some guidance from all you SAP gurus on!
Is it possible to connect BPC 10 to BI4 using Universe Design Tool? We are under the impression very few people have connected these pieces of software together, if at all. It is very important to a Project I am on at the moment as to whether it is possible so any advice would be very much appreciated.
So far we have done..
Software is installed - Universe Design Tool (UDT)
Logins have been created for BPC 10
Opened up UDT and go through the Wizard;
Connection name is BPC CCONNECTION
Select data access driver: Business Planning and Consolidation OLE DB for OLAP
Enter the server address for BPC 10 (This is the URL that we log in to the BPC Admin Console)
After we try to continue, we get the error as follows:
[Image of error|http://s9.postimage.org/pxk8raci7/UDT_Screen1.jpg]
If anyone could give any kind of advice I would really apprecaite it!
Nick

Hi Nick,
If you are trying to connect BPC 10 NW to BI 4.0 then I have some suggestions. We did this in our SAP EPM 10 training. In the Admin go to the model tab , select your model and edit it. Select the check box Use as a source. This creates a transient query in the backend.. Then we designed the connection in IDT (Information Design tool). Login to IDT and create a new project. Now Right click on the project and create a new OLAP connection. Select SAP BICS as driver selection. Provide the server details and user aunthetication. Select specify a cube in connection option. Now You can select your model <MODELNAME>_B folder and u will see one query with /CPMB/TQ_XXXX. Test your connection and publish your connection to repository . Now you can use this connection for creating Interactive Analysis (Webi Report). I am not sure about the reporting client you wish to use.
Hope this Helps

Nikhil

Universe Design with same connection

Hello,
I am creating universe against the connection for SAP BW system, once I have created a connection and selected a cube or query and built a universe on top of it....If I go back and create a new universe and this time change the connection to point towards a new cube/query the old universe stops working.
Is it a limitation for SAP database where we need to have a new connection setup for each universe...or is there a different way to use same connection pointing towards different cubes/queries for different universes.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi,
Currently, you have to define one connection per BEx query. If you want to uset a different then you have to update the connection and refresh the universe to take injto account potential changes.
Normally, it is possible to override a connection to point to a different cube using security. It means that you can give access to a given query for a group of users and access to another query for another group of users.

Didier

Need help Crystal Reports running in BO 4.1 while using Universe as database connection.

Sorry, I may not know how to describe this in the correct technical manner, but I'll explain in as simple terms as I can.
I open up Crystal Reports 2013 click new document
and it begins to ask for Database Expert.
I select Universes and log in to my Business Objects Enterprise Explorer.   I then select the Universe that I want to write my report with,
then i save the rpt on my local machine.
then I log into my Business Objects 4.1 CMC or BI and upload this rpt file so that I can begin to schedule the report for example...
but the problem i have is whenever I try to run the report,
it asks for a prompt for my database connection...
it displays the Universe name, but User Name Password, I am not sure what to write,
do I write My login for Business Objects? do I write the user name password of the database that Universe uses?
in CMC I see a database configuration, I tried many combinations and still have been receiving the following error message
The viewer could not process an event. The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. []
---- Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]
From all I read the point of using the Universe in Crystal reports is to be automatic in such a way that it doesnt need the database conneciton, because its technically using the Universe as the database connection....
so what am I doing wrong here?    maybe its my database configuration,    I keep reading that it doesnt need anything...   that you upload the Crystal Reports and it would just work...
any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated..
thanks
-Daniel

Hi Daniel,
What is the reporting DB used?
The trick with your configuration is the following:
- Universe Designer: 32bits application that may work fine on your desktop
- Crystal 2013: 32bits application as well
- When you export to the repository, Web Intelligence (64bits) has to process the Universe to extract the query.
Your server should have the drivers required for Crystal + Universe: 32bit and 64bit versions.

SSO does not work in Universe Designer

Hi,
I have a problem getting an error within Universe Designer the error is :
"DBD: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data"
Installed below :
BOBJ XI 3.1 installed
SAP GUI 7.10
SAP Java Connector
SAP Integration Kit
All is run on the server machine.
SSO setup i CMS etc. and i works fine in the beginning and i can go into Universe Designer and create a SSO connection which responds etc. and i can create universes which is fine. I can go to webi and create an new report using the universe and select som measures and dimension and execute query, but it only works a couple of times then it starts to fails with an xml error. After that going to universe designer an into connection i cannot longer get in touch with my Bex query in SAP BW ! and that is where my problem allways ends, so now i cannot connect using SSO in Universe Designer.
Found technote 1250890 but it only says that i need to install integration kit on my client, but my installation is all i one and is installed.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated !

What is the best design to connect redundant Firewalls to redundant switches?

Hi All,
I would like to know the best possible design to connect redundant Firewalls(Netscreen,FortiGate etc) to redundant switches.I have dealt with Cisco FWSM's in which both the Firewall and switch is in the same chassis. So for the Vlan's behind the Firewall, we just create the L3 interface on the fwsm and do a static route in the switch. The Gateway IP will be tied to the primary fwsm and the failover happens through the network. But now i need to know the best possible design when i am connecting to a different vendor firewall.
Let's say i have 5 vlans and all these vlan's are behind the Firewall. The redundant switches will have the L2 vlan's created and have a static route to the Firewall. I am proposing the attached design in which i will have L2 vlan's created on the switch and L3 on the Firewall. The Firewall's and the switch will be connected with one trunk port and an access port for uplink and downlink traffic. The two switches will be connected each other using a vlan trunk.The two firewalls will be connected using a redundancy vlan.
I am not so sure about the working of other firewalls such as Netscreen and FortiGate. I am also confused with the traffic path that the frames will take by having this design.Please advice if you have any suggestions.
Appreciate your help and advice.
regards
dathan

subhash007 wrote:It's not 802.3ad link aggreagated interface. In the switch side, the ports will be configured as normal access ports and the bonding config will be done on the server side.
To be honest, I don't understand how the Linux bonding mode can work without anything configured the other end.
My understanding of 'bonding' comes from Multilink PPP (MLP) where the data stream is chopped up and split across two (or more) circuits. At the other end, a similar MLP-enabled device reforms the data stream from the multiple circuits, maintaining packet order. But this requires MLP-enabled 'bonding' devices at each end.
Perhaps you could help me better understand the Linux bonding...
subhash007 wrote:If any single homed server is connected to Switch 2, what will be traffic path for its data packets?Switch 2 ------------------> Switch 1 ----------------------> Active firewall ORSwitch 2 ------------------> Passive Firewall -----------> Active Firewall
If the firewalls operate in the same fashion as Cisco ASAs, then the inter-firewall link doesn't carry traffic. It's for failover detection and HTTP replication only. But like I said, I'm not familiar with this vendor's products.
subhash007 wrote:Also will there be any change in traffic path if the trunk between Switch 1 & Switch 2 is converted to L3 routed interface? Since there is no VRRP, i can convert the trunk to L3 right?
Same as above.

Error While Accessing Universe Designer

Hi All,
I am facing an strange issue - I have BO Installation on windows server - 2003.
As a client when iam trying to access the server from diffrent location i am able to access CMC and Polestar.
But When i am trying to access universe designer - it shows an error -
Cannot access Repository ( uSR0013)
[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Transport error: Communication failure.(FWM 00001)
(hr=#0x80042a01)
Any suggestion.
I am able to telnet my server ip with port 6400 and 8080.
Thanks

I think there is some problem because of firewalls.
Could some one tell me what are the list of ports need to be opned for server client model.
i asked network team to open the ports 6400 -6410 only.
Do i need to open ports ??
My BO server installation is default and CMS is on - 6400. and i haven't configured anything else.
pls suggest the approach.
Thanks

Baan with Universe Designer

Has anyone successfully built a Universe against a Baan database? We are looking at the possibility either using a Baan driver for Universe Designer (if this exists) or connecting to the Oracle system underneath.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thx
James

No idea but some things to check:
- Are you running some other application which might be using the Designer SDK on your machine?
- If you launch Designer and leave it there for 5 minutes without doing anything does the error comes up
--> some background agent might be interfering? Or is it triggered only if you actually work with Designer?
- What is the title of the popup window (Designer.exe or is it a Window system message error?)

Can BO universe design tool read from more than one data source

Hi Experts
can I add personal data (from excel or Text) on a designer that is connected to relational Database
can we combine more than one universe from different data sources to do so
Please advise
thanks all

Thanks for reply
I tried the linked universe concept but it is not working when I read in this topic in the universe design tool guide it indicated that
both universes should have the same database I cote from this book
("The core universe and derived universe use the same data account, or database, and the same
RDBMS.")
I also checked in the designer help it says the same condition
If you have idea how to do so please send me the steps
thanks

Universe Designer: Error getting dimensions for cube

-Using Business Objects Edge 3.1 SP2
-SAP BW 7.0 (patch level 21)
This is quite odd behavior that seemed at first an authorization issue, but now I am uncertain.
-Attempting to create a Universe based on a Infocube.
-Universe connection is created with no problem using user 'ABC'
-Using Universe Designer on the BOBJ server, no issues creating the Universe
-Using Universe Designer on a users desktop, the Universe fails to create with error message:
A runtime exception has occurred. (Error getting dimensions for cube $0SD_C03 (catalog $INFOCUBE): Unknown error)
-Change the connection to use user 'DEF', the Universe creates just fine on the desktop
-Behavior is not exclusive to one BW object, happens no matter what 'ABC' tries to access from this desktop
So, at first I am thinking authorizations, but then the universe create would fail on the server as well. If it is environmental, what could possibly affect this behavior.
Any ideas before I submit to SAP Support?

Oddly enough it was an authorization issue.
When authenticating against the SAP source system from Universe Designer on either the workstation or server, both traces show a missing authorization for RFC_NAME = RASB
This setting is not found in referenced SAPu2019s guides or whitepapers under suggested authorizations for Universe create. What remains unexplained is why using the same credentials from 2 different computers had a different response.

OR between groups in Row-Restrictions, priority - Universe Design

Old School Univers Design, no SAP source, but plain Oracle
Two Questions here
1 - Priority in rowrestrictions
from documentation:
u201CYou can specify which restriction to apply to a user that belongs to multiple groups using a universe. For example a user belongs to two groups, Sales with a restriction to view 5000 rows of data, and Marketing to view 10000 rows. When the user refreshes a report, the restriction associated with the lowest level group is applied. In the example above, if the Sales group had order 1 and Marketing had order 2, the restriction from marketing (10000) would be used.u201D
I read in the documentation for Rowrestrictions, that the restriction on top of the order list will be the one kicking in, in case of a huser having two conflicting restrictions.
Does anyone have experience with this ?
Does it work ?
My experience is that its not working. Both rowrestrictions gets into the SQL with AND between as shown
AND ( FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (030,033,090,805,041,062,048)
AND FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (041,048,062)
the first line is my new restriction with priority 1,
the second line is the other restriction with priority 6
2 - OR between groups
there is a Restriction option in Manage Rowrestrictions , where you can spesify Rowrestriction Combinations using AND or OR.
I have not been able to have this working.
Anyone having a positive experience here ? Or have I misunderstood what this actually means.
I would expect
WHERE ( FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (030,033,090,805,041,062,048)
OR FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (041,048,062)
What I get is
( FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (030,033,090,805,041,062,048)
AND FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (041,048,062)
Is this a known bug ?
I have tried this in WEBI 3.1 and R2

Hello,
In fact, Priority is used for universe overload where only one overload among several might apply. This is the case for connection overloads, table mappings..., but not for row restrictions.
For row restrictions, you have AND/OR aggregation operators. In Universe design tool, you have the option to choose how Row restriction will aggregate (click the "cog" icon):
+ Combine row restrictions using AND
+ Combine row restrictions using AND within group hierarchies and OR between groups
In the first case, all row restrictions that might apply to a user will be aggregated with AND operators.
In the second case, row restrictions that are inherited are aggregated with AND operators and the ones coming the user groups a user belongs to are aggregated with OR operators.
Ex with the following user groups organisation:
G1
G11 (G11 belongs to G1 group)
G2
G21 (G21 belongs to G2 group)
and user U belongs to G11 and G21 user groups.
Final row restriction that applies to the user U is:
(G1 AND G11) OR (G2 AND G21)
Hope it helps.
Cheers
