Variable screen of webi rich client differs from one of Infoview

Hello
We are on BO XI 3.1 sp3, universe of the top of SAP BI 7.01 query.Webi version 12.3.0
Char1 is set to delegated search. Variable1 for char1 is mandatory, multiple single values on SAP BI side.
Webi reports (executed from webi rich client) allows search by value for this char1. Webi report (executed from infoview) doesnt allow any search for char1.
Button FIND (match case) looks inactive. It doesnt start search.
I tried different combinations (see below) but it doesnt help.
*XXX
XXX
XXX
Does anybody know that cases the difference?
Thanks

Herr Kommandante
Does it make a difference if you switch between HTML and JAVA viewers in Infoview?
Does it make a difference if you switch between View and Modify modes in Infoview?
Are you patched to the same level on both Client and Sercer?

Henry

Parameterlist to strat WEBI Rich Client from commandline

Hi all,
Is it possible to start the WEBI Rich Client from the dos commandline to refresh a report like it is possible with deski?
Which parameters can I use?
Example
"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\WebIRichClient.exe" -User <username> -Pass <password< -System <servername> -Auth <auth> "<webidocname>.wid"
Thank you for you answers
Astrid

Hi Astrid,
I am also interested in hearing whether this is possible, but I suspect that it is not, unless you have the latest version of Webi, where there is a merging of the two in some ways.
Someone more knowledgeable on this subject should be able to come to your rescue.
Anyone?
Thanks, Bill

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.....................

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

Webi rich Client Drivers Issue

Hi,
I am facing errors when i try to run the query in WEBI Rich client whereas when I run these queries directly on the server I am not getting any error messages. Based on the error messages, I think I might need to install some drivers. Can anyone tell me the drivers that we need for Oracle & Microsoft?
When i try to run a Query on the webi rich Client for the Universe that was connecting to oracle, i am getting the following error message:
Below shown are the errors that I am facing with 2 universes which are connecting to SQL Server.
1. When i try to run a query for the Universe that is built on Cube, I am getting the following error:
2. When i try to run a query for the Universe that is built on Datamart, I am getting the following error:
Please help me out here if anyone knows the solution.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
short answer to your question : it depends on what your consuming.
you need to find out the exact version of these sources (i.e. ORA 11.1? MSAS 2008 SP2? etc)
then identify the middleware from that vendor which is supported by our SAP applications. For that, you need to cross-reference the 'product availability matrix ' (pam) for your specific Service Pack of the BO BIPlatform . www.service.sap.com/pam
then, you need to look at the connectivity of your universes to see which driver they are using (ODBC, JDBC or OLEDB for example) and then download the right file from the DB vendor's site.
then make sure that you install 32 bit MW on your client tools machine, and 64 bit on your server.
You will then need to administer the ODBC data source names (DSN) everywhere .
Good luck!
regards,
H

Web Rich Client Login

Hi,
I'm having problems accessing BO Web Intelligence Rich Client. Here is our setup:
- SAP BO 4.1 SP2
- Two SAP BW backends
- Authentication for the 2 BW backends configured, users and roles imported
- Two OLAP connections configured, one for each BW backend.
My problem is configuring access to our 2 backends from the WebI Rich Client. I cannot choose what backend system i want to login to.
Therefore, the system automatically logs in to one of the backends, and I cannot open objects belonging to the other backend.
What I want is something like BI Launch PAD:
It has input fields for SAP system, and therefore I can choose what backend I want to login.
I tried to deactivate the "Default System" authentication option, hoping that some popup asking for system info would show up:
CMC Home -> Authentication -> SAP -> Options
But no system popup appears, and login failed.
Any help?
Thanks

Your reply was indeed very helpful, and I've already configured my systems, and its working fine.
However its not completely what I wanted, because for one system there will be a generic backend authentication, not user specific. Maybe what I want is not possible.
I will wait to see if anyone can dig further into this, but I will definitely give points.
Thanks

Which ports does Webi Rich CLient use to connect to Universe etc..

Hello together,
we have the problem that we cannot run Rich Client from computers outside our network - so which ports does webi Rich Client use to connect to BO Serverl?.
It will always say universe not found. Login to rich client and everything else is possible.
It's not an authorisations problem, inside the network people can run the programs fine.
Thank you

Hi,
i assume you have enable CMS port on the firewall, apart from this you need to enable IFRS and Connection Server port also.

Webi Rich client - unable to connect to BO 4.0 Server.

Hello All,
we have a same issue while connecting to a BO4.0 server.from WEBI Rich client .
We are able to connect to infoview from browser,and able to open WEBI from browser.
but when tried from WEBI Rich client, we get error : Logon failure due to an internal error.
We have updated the hosts file but did not help.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Vinay

What happens if you change your preferences in BILaunch pad, so that the Webi Rich Client is launched when you Modify webi report ?
This way WRC will be launched in 3-tier mode and if succesfull this will indicate that WRC in 2-tier mode can't connect to CMS and FRS due to either Firewall or other problems.
Also, from WRC machine - can you connect using Designer or IDT ?

Hello,
on my server WINDOWS 2008 r2 64 BIT i have upgraded BO Edge XI 3.1 to SP3.
On a Windows 7 64 bit client i have installed Webi Rich Client from Infoview and the latest Java version.
I have 2 problems on this client:
1) From Infoview, When i try to modify a .wid file, Java control panel doesn't found a plug.in and stop to run.
Wich is the supported Java version?
2) Webi Rich Client, after login, doesn't open a .wid file and give me the error WIJ 2002.
Can anyone help me???
Thank's a lot

Web rich client -- report tabs missing in edit mode

Hello,
A report was created in web Rich client and then was exported in the BO repository. In view mode, we
see all tabs, but in edit mode,only two tabs are displayed.
any idea please?
Thanks a lot.

hi,
I also faced the same issue.
I could replicate the issue suceessfully on a consistent basis.
STEPS to replicate the issue
1.     Create a new webi report using Island Resorts Marketing Universe
2.     Query Panel Objects
a.     Country, Resort, Service, Number of guests
3.     Run query (Tab 1 is created automatically)
a.     Report 1 u2013 Table containing above objects
4.     Right Click Report 1 - >Insert Report -> rename it to u2018Crosstabu2019
5.     Move the report tab to Left such that Crosstab appears as first tab
6.     Drag Crosstab from Templates.
a.     Pull Country and Resort objects as rows to Crosstab
b.     Pull Service as Column to Crosstab
c.     Pull Number of guests as measure to Crosstab
7.     Select Country -> Insert Break
8.     Select Resort -> Insert Break
9.     Select Resort First and Country Second -> Click on Merge Cells button
10.     Select No
11.     Now again click on Merge Cells button
12.     Select Yes this time.
13.     Save the report.
14.     View the report from Infoview. You will see both tabs
15.     Edit the report. (You cannot edit the second tab - Report 1. Edit the first tab u2018Crosstabu2019)
16.     only one tab is visible. Other tab u2018Report 1u2019 is missing.
Observations:
Report Footer appears as the top section in Map -> Structure
So my conclusion is when a reverse merge is applied on Crosstab with breaks, this issue occurs.
But i don't know how to recover the tabs in Edit mode.
Please let me know how to recover the missed tabs in Edit Mode. Also let me know the other scenarios which might lead to the same issue.
Regards,
Vamsee

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.
Regards,
Philippe

How to hide some variables on variables screen in web report (in WAD)

I need to hide some optional variables (not all of them) on variables screen in web template.
Hiding the whole selection screen is not an option, since users have to populate other variables and some variables are mandatory.
Web template is based on a query that can be run in BEx Analyzer by superusers - and there they need all variables. I want to use the same query both in BEx Analyzer for superusers and on the Portal for regular users. For portal version though I need to hide some of the variables on the selection screen. Is it possible at all?
I would like to avoid creating two separate queries - one for Analyzer and one for Portal.

if the variables are optional and mandatory both avaialble
then there is no chance that u can hide them
the only option is to create a save as QUERY and remove those variable.
it is not possible to just hide the variable screen...
if u hv used they will be displayed....
if u dont want it dont use it...
and if really using another query is not advisable as u said
the only thing i can say is that... try to interact with ur security person
ask him u need to create several authorization objects for several variables
if that is possible
let him create those
assign those specific authorization object to specific user id
use it for specific variables u need
tat way super users with specaial authorization can acess the same query and can see specific variables
regular users withouts authorization of variables can see rest of variables.
