Voyager XI R 3.1 SP 3 Fp 3.2-- To show multiple dimensions in same workspac

Hi,
We are creating a Voyager work space. The idea here is to show diiferent diemsions as free standing cells with drop down that shows all values of that particular dimension. This is done in XI R2 OLAP reports.
Cross tab shows following data: Headcount over a period (months in columns and gender in rows) based on Gender.
The requirement is to have different free standing cells for Country, Cost centre, Team etc showing all the values of the dimension with a option to select the required country etc and changing data in Cross tab accordingly.
I am new to Voyager. Please help me.

Voyager hangs out when trying to display data from an InfoCube

Hi experts,
I'm trying to use Voyager for first time in a new installed environment. From the CMC I've created a connection against a BI InfoCube. Then, I create a new Voyager Workspace based on this InfoCube. All InfoCube Dimensions and Infoobjects are displayed in the left pane. Then I try to drag one of the Characteristics to the right pane, but Voyager seems to hang Showing a message "processing". No data data is displayed, and I can't drag more characteristics or key figures...
There is any known issue about what could be happening? InfoCube has data and I've already built Universes & WebIntelligence reports based on this InfoCube with success. Then the problem seems to lay on Voyager layer, not in data/OLAP layer.
Thank you very much!

Hi
When Voyager creates the initial data view (i.e. when you drop the first dimension on the cross-tab) it has to go and get all the dimensions, all the hierarchies and all the level zero members of the default hierarchies. Although this isn't a large number of items, there are some circumstances that the API call to SAP, say to get the hierarchies for a particular dimension, takes a very long time. The other tools won't necessarily experience this problem as they are more selective about what initial meta-data they load up. For example, they will only load up the dimensions and hierarchies needed for the query.
The first step in trouble shooting this will be to profile the calls Voyager makes in the SAP OLAP BAPI to see if there are any of these calls that are taking a very long time. You can profile this either from the SAP end or by turning on the logging for the Voyager data access component.
If you identify a SAP API call which is taking a long time, you then need to see if there are any messages concerning fixes to such problems. I know there have been fixes to correct calls to get hierarchies in certain circumstances which have been taking too long.

Display attributes have several string properties which are visible in Voyager:
u2022 Short description
u2022 Medium description
u2022 Long description
u2022 Key and short description
u2022 Key and medium description
u2022 Key and long description
These string properties can be viewed and changed from the Properties tab of the Tab panel.
Key and text properties are concatenated into a single string, and are therefore displayed in a single column or row caption field. They do not appear as separate columns or rows.
Now come to your question where youwant to se detail level.
Can you expand the dimension by clicking on the parent member?
It should expand.

How to show display attributes like key and description in voyager

This question is on voyager connecting to SAP BI Query. I would like to show both key and description of the row member. It is mentioned in the guide that display attributes can be viewed and changed from the properties tab of the tab panel. But I didnt see any such option in properties tab.
Any solution for this?
Thanks

It is a XI 3.0 version. I looked at Voyager user guide for XI 3.0 in page no 202. It is about Using Voyager with SAP
"Display attributes
Members have several string properties which are visible in Voyager:
u2022 Key

How to view videos stored in home imac on iPod or iPad over wifi

hello;
Using the web server on the iMac there is a easy way
to view stored videos on the iPod or iPad. When I say 'easy'
I consider it easy, you may not find it 'easy'.
The most low tech way is to create a symbolic link from the video file
to the /Library/WebServer/Documents/ directory.
example:
open a terminal window.
create a symbolic link from the video file on the iMac to the /Library/WebServer/Documents/
sudo ln -s <iTunes Library Directory>/TV Shows/<TV Show Name>/<TV Season>/<TV Episode> video-link-01
To view the video on either an iPod, iPad, or another computer in Safari
you would enter the following:
http://<computer-name.local>/video-link-01
The video will be shown by QuickTime plugin in Safari...
I have written a perl script which I use to create the necessary html files
to view all the TV Shows that I have stored on my iMac. You could also
create these using a text editor like vim or textedit.
The index.html lists the TV Shows in alphabetical order.
For each TV Show there is a corresponding html file which list the seasons.
For each TV Show Season there is a corresponding html file which lists the episodes.
Below is a short example.
sudo cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
sudo ln -s /Users/me/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/TV\ Shows ./TV\ Shows
the index.html file contains:

The same may be done for movies and music.
I am working on coming up with a way to play an entire musical album and playlist.
Right now it is single songs only which tends to limit its usefulness.
For videos it does work extremely well. Even though I have a 64GB iPad, a 64GB iPod touch, a 32GB iPod touch, a 32GB iPod touch( 1st generation), and an 16GB iPod nano I do not have to sync a video to them in order to be able to view the video.
I am able to sit in my favorite Caribou Coffee Shop and watch the latest TV shows I have purchased on iTunes
over the wifi network.
Suggestions are to use the Standard Definition file and not the High Definition file.
I personally cannot tell the difference between the Standard Definition file and the High Definition file
on the iPods or the iPad.
I hope that helps you to enjoy your iPods, iPhones, and iPads.

Parameters in OLAP Intelligence

Hi,
I am currently using OLAP Intelligence because Voyager did not even give me the functionality I want, but I'm having a problem.
I have a view created with OLAP Intelligence connected to a SAP BW cube, really want to move from this view to a second view of another cube in BW. I know OLAP Intelligence has not this functionality because it is not multi source but I'm trying to do it through a URL. When I open the first view, I asked some set of parameters to filter, then come have a button associated with an action and when I click on it a URL leads through to the second view (the second cube). My problem is with the URL to pass the parameters because the URL is not sending me the current members. Proven to function currentmember not work for me.
The dimension and hierarchy that I have are:
Time
Year / Month
2003
2002
Therefore the first time when I am asked to put parameter (for example, 2002) my first view filter it, later I can selected another member through the member selector for example [Time]. [Year / Month]. [2003] and want to jump to the second view, but the second view doesnt filter my data.
My URL is:
"http://cdi5boe:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/
openDocument.jsp? & sPath = [Liverpool] & sType=car&siDocID=65478
& lsS907B8C93-C89E-4872-87% 2CC8% 2C1E% 2C8% 2C56% 2C81% 2CB7% 2CDD =
%5BTime%5D.%5BYear%2FMonth%5D.CurrentMember.Name "
Can you help me to use correctly the MDX function? I think it is my problem.
Regards,
Sandra.

Hi,
If you create a cell type action rather than a member action you can get context from multiple dimensions.
The general syntax for your URL would be:
"http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=" + [Dimnesion1].* +"&param2=" + [Dimension2].*
Here, for the selected cell in the cross-tab, the member from each dimension specified is substituted into the URL. To use a member from a specific dimension you need to use the dimension's unique name followed by a dot and a start in the action definition. So for example if the cell I had selected consisted of member ABC on dimension 1 and member XYZ on dimension 2, the final URL produced might look like the following:
http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=[Dimension1].[ABC]&param2=[Dimension2].[ZYX]
You can add MDX or OLAP Intelligence syntax again around the wild cards:
MDX
[Dimension Uniquename].*.uniquename
OLAP Intelligence Syntax
GetUniqueName([Dimension Uniquename].*)
There seams to be a bit of a pug in the parser of the version of OLAP Intelligence I'm using which means that if you want to concatenate two parameters right next to each other the following produces an error:
"http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=" + [Dimnesion1].* + [Dimension2].*
but you can get the same effect by concatenating an empty string in between the two items so the following works fine:
"http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=" + [Dimnesion1].* + "" + [Dimension2].*

Problem connecting to new Mac Pro with USB

I have a new late 2013 Mac Pro 6 core with 64GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. I use a Thunderbay IV Thunderbolt drive bay and a Newertech Voyager for external storage and backup. The Thunderbay works perfectly. When I place a 4TB drive with a couple of TB of data (photos) into the Voyager, it appears as an empty 1.8TB drive. If I take the exact same drive and place it into the Thunderbay via Thunderbolt, it sees it as 4TB, sees the data, and seems to have no problem. If I ask disk utility to verify the disk in the Voyager, I get this message "Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found." This happens regardless of which of the 4 USB ports I connect it to. Basically the drive will boot just fine in the Thunderbay, (Thunderbolt) but not in the Voyager (USB). I initially thought the Voyager was at fault, but this has happened with both a brand new S3 USB3 unit as well as my older Voyager Q USB 2 unit. I can connect a USB 3 card reader with no apparent problems as well as my iPhone, iPad, and two Epson printers. I am thinking that there is some problem with the USB connections in the Mac Pro but would appreciate any thoughts.

You got me curious so I dug further. We weren't alone in that problem. See this Apple discussion. And this review mentioned the 2TB limit as did this one. We both were the victims of progress. I remember when a 40MB HD upgrade was a big and expensive deal for an SE-30.

Voyager SSAS 2005 SSO connection

Hi,
We are using BO Xi 3.1 and we have sso is configured for Infoview, now we are trying to configure SSO till database for Voyager (SSAS 2005), and we receieved the error message, We made change in the krb5.ini file with an entry of "forwardable = true", as well as on SSAS server, made changes for service account like spn entry and delegation for the service account but still no luck.
Here are couple of things we observed:
1) When i gave windows username and password in CMC for cube and create voyager reprot it works fine.
2) When i use SSO then it failed with error saying " An Error has occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP Server. Failed to Intialize (The component for microsoft OLE DB Provider for analysis service 2008. returned the server error (an error has encounter in transport layer; The peer prematuarly closed the connection)
3) I login to sql profiler to see the credentails it passes but when i try to create voyager with SSO it doesn't passes the windows credentails instead it passes "anonymous" login.
I opened the tech support ticket but i didn't getting much help from them.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello,
Sorry for my English.
Can you send the SETSPN commands you ran?
The Voyager connections, the server name you have put in capital letters and the domain name in full format?
Sorry.

Voyager Legend will not work with my laptop

I have an HP Pavilion dv6-3120us Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7(64-bit). I recently purchased a new bluetooth headset and am unable to get it to work with my laptop. The Previous headset was a Plantronics Voyager Pro which worked great with my laptop, all I had to do was pair it and that was that. My new headset is the Plantronics Voyager Legend and after pairing, it starts installing drivers and all but one are fine.
Bluetooth AV Ready to use
Bluetooth Remote Control Ready to use
Bluetooth AV Remote Control Target Ready to use
Bluetooth Peripheral Device No Driver Found
Bluetooth Hands-free Ready to use
I've uninstalled, reinstalled several times and it didn't help, It shows that the device is paired, but doesn't reroute audio to the headset or the microphone. It shows in audio devices but says disconnected, when I click on 'connect', nothing happens and 'set as default' is grayed out and I cannot select it. I know that there is a separate bluetooth USB adapter available, but I'm using the headset mostly for my phone (which works fine) and occasionally my laptop so I don't really want to purchase it. I've already contacted Plantronics about the issue and this was their response:
"Thank you for contacting Plantronics Technical Support.
If you are using built in blue tooth and not our blue tooth USB adapter unfortunately we cannot assist you with your built in blue tooth, Plantronics does not supply drivers, here is our statement with regards to using built in blue tooth:
If you are pairing the headset directly to your computer, the drivers that are required are for your computer's internal Bluetooth adapter. You will need the drivers supplied by your computer's manufacturer in order for you to use your Bluetooth headset as an audio device.
Different computer manufacturers and computer models will use different internal Bluetooth adapters, so you'll have to contact your computer manufacturer to get those drivers. Most major computer manufacturers have a "Drivers" or "Drivers and Downloads" page on their web site in which you can enter your computer model in order to retrieve available drivers. You can typically find the Bluetooth drivers under the "Network" category. "
I've checked for bluetooth driver updates and it says that none are available, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the bluetooth drivers from the laptop. Sorry that this is a short novel, but I wanted to make sure to give all available details, any help or advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

Hi Nt_winters,
Thank you for all the information, it is very useful. I understand you are having an issue with HP Pavilion dv6-3120us Notebook with Windows 7 and your new Plantronics Voyager Legend. In the device manager are all unknown devices removed as well as the Bluetooth devices for the headset? Broadcom is recommended for Plantronics Voyager Legend headsets. Here is a link to that driver.
Hope this helps.

Switching back to my LG voyager titanium

I'm really tired of my blackberry, so i want to switch back to my LG. Anyone know if this is possiable in the middle of a contract? I want to continue to get my email on my phone, so will i need a data plan still?

Yes, you can switch back to your Voyager; a data plan is NOT required for the Voyager, but you WILL need data to get email. You have the option of PAYG at $1.99 per MB, $15 / 150 MB or unlimited for $29.99. And keep in mind that the email experience will be no where near the same as your BB.
You'll need the Mobile Email app, everything is text based (no html email) and no attachments will be viewable. The mobile email app is $4.99 a month, plus data if you are on the PAYG plan. I think it is included if you are on the $15 or $30 data plan.
HTH,

Export options in Voyager

I created Voyager documents for my cubes. The tool is great in terms of its ability to report data from the multiple measures and dimensions. When it comes to Export options - The export to excel is pretty clean, but it doesn't carry the formatting to the exported file. This feature is something that our users really felt was missing. Can this feature be released as a patch or part of a service pack release? Also, the export doesn't carry the title of the report to excel or PDF (print to PDF - Data).
Thanks in Advance!!
Harish

To confirm: Column formatting like display -> Name:Caption .. .. is not being exported to excel
please refer to Note # 1345585
this behaviour will be enhanced in XI3.0 Sp3 - due end 2009.

Henry

Error when trying to create a new Voyager Workspace through Infoview

Hi,
When trying to create a new Voyager Workspace through Infoview, I get the following Error
"An Error hs occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP server.Failed to initialize(The following component Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Anaysis Services 2005 returned server error(An error was encountered in the transport layer;the peer prematurely closed the connection"
I clicked on New Voyager Workspace & then it displays the list of connections available. When, I click on any connection , then I receive thefollowing error
"An Error hs occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP server.Failed to initialize(The following component Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Anaysis Services 2005 returned server error(An error was encountered in the transport layer;the peer prematurely closed the connection"
An Insight of our environment regarding this, we have an clustered environment with Voyager Installed. Platform is Windows Server 2003. We have all the required Microsoft client tools installed on the Production Servers.
This was working fine earlier. We were able to create Voyager WorkSpace at one instance of time. The problem at that point of time was the MDAS Server was not showing up in CMC, i.e as we had clustered environment, only one of the MDAS Server was showing up in the CMC. it was missing the other MDAS Server. but, at that time we were able to create Voyager Workspace.
So, in order to view the other MDAS Server in CMC, we had changed the name of the Server in CCM for both the MDAS Servers.
In detail, Server A.MDAS Server & Server B.MDAS Server- they both were not showing up in CMC. only one of them was showing up in Servers list in CMC.
So, in CCM we had changed the name of Server1.MDAS server to be Server1 &
for Server2.MDAS Server to be Server1 as well.
AFter this both the MDAS Servers were showing uo in CMC.
but, when I login into Infoview & click on new Voyagerworkspace & select a connection, I recieve the follwoing error
"An Error hs occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP server.Failed to initialize(The following component Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Anaysis Services 2005 returned server error(An error was encountered in the transport layer;the peer prematurely closed the connection"
Request to let me know the possible steps in resolving this ASAP

Hi,
Try to create the objects again and take the screenshot of SU53 when you get the error and see the authorization object for which you are getting the error here.
It is possible that you dont have development authorization.
Also the issue could be that the system is not configured to create the objects begining with Z.
Check this with basis as well.

Problems mounting Hitachi 7k3000 HDD in Voyager Q dock via eSATA

I have two NewerTech Voyager Q- Quad Interface SATA 2.5" & 3.5" Drive Docks http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/FWU3ES2HDK/ from OWC.com that are advertised as compatible with 3TB SATA III Hitachi drives. I am using one as a main data drive, and the other as a Carbon Copy Cloner back-up. Today I had both of them running off my Sonnet Tempo SATA Pro Expresscard 34 on my MacBook Pro, doing a CCC back up sync. I went out and when I came back the cloning had frozen. I couldn't quit anything or eject anything, and several other apps became unresponsive so I had to do a hard shutdown. Upon reboot, Disk Utility wouldn't mount either of the drives, and they both failed verify/repair and also a rebuild in Disk Genius. So I tried plugging them in via FW800, only one of the drives mounted (the closest on the daisy-chain) and Disk Utility said it appeared to be OK. The 2nd drive wouldn't mount. I am quite concerned about this as I have a lot of data on there that I cannot afford to lose. Has anyone had any experience using the Hitachi 3TB drives in external eSATA or FW800 docks or enclosures? Any opinions on the Voyager Q docks?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You've done some good, thorough troubleshooting.
First blush I'm thinking the hard drive isn't working, until you start it via firewire from another volume, and you see flakey results, and can't complete a boot from DVD. That would support a failing logic board.
The Apple store can send your Powerbook to the Apple Depot for repair. We recently did this, system was sent to the Apple Depot in Houston, and cost was around $325. At the Depot, they repair everything, returning it in operating order. In our case they replaced the logic board and battery. If the case is banged up or extensive replacements are required, the charge goes up from $325. Comes back with a 90 day warranty.
If you're good with computer internals, you can buy a used logic board and replace it yourself. Good instructions at http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/PowerBook-G4-Aluminum-12-Inch-1-1-5-GHz-Logic -Board/553/1

What went wrong in the Voyager Connection

Hi,
We installed Business Objects XI 3.1.
We have SAP BW7.1 patch5.
Only ABAP stack is installed.
Xcelisus2008 SP2, Crystal Reports2008, Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP00, SAP Integration Kit, are installed in the specified order.
BW and BO are integrated. I have admin access to the BO system.
When I try to create a Voyager connection, I face a common error.
When I log into the CMC, to create a new voyager connection, it is throwing me some error.
I tried to explain my landscape as clear as possible.
I found out that there is a need of some driver or BAPI or some Function Module to bring the data from SAP BW/BI cubes in to Voyager.
My client does not have any other system other than SAP. We have a very robust BW system and my client is looking for using Voyager on top of SAP BW.
Please suggest any solutions, on how to connect the BW and Voyager system.
I FOUND OUT IN THE FORUMS THAT THE CONNECTION FOR VOYAGER AND SAP BW/BI MIGHT CHANGE IN THE FUTURE RELEASES. BUT FOR NOW WHAT IS THE SOLUTION IN MY LANDSCAPE. I DO NOT FIND AN ANSWER FOR THAT.
CAN any one please suggest me some threads or documentation or any other source.
Thanks.
Sireesha.

Hi all,
The problem got resolved.
WHen we go to the CMC Home, and select the last option is "Voyager connections".
When we select that option, we used to get an error with the
red cross mark saying that the MDAS Client has to be installed on the server.
1. We reinstalled BO Enterprise completely on the server.
It worked out.
But there is a BAPI called OLAP BAPI which actually has all the methods to bring the data from BW/BI to Voyager.
This BAPI has been remote enabled and after the reinstallation everything worked fine.
Did not know that this was an installation issue.
But if anyone uses MSAS 2000 or 2005, I do not have any idea sorry.
But for SAP BW data sources, it was the installation which actually caused the problem.
Thank you all.

Daisy chain Voyager hard drives & iMac Intel Core2Duo (white model)

It would appear that Voyager hard drive enclosures from Newertek won't allow you to daisy chain them via SATA. Yet they conveniently provide you with a SATA cable if you have an eSATA port on your Mac. Is there any sort of KVM switch/ hub that makes the SATA hard drives connect directly to each other via SATA instead of via the iMac's Firewire for data transfer.
I'm finding I large gobs of data to transfer between two hard drives, and a dual drive enclosure never likes to remain mounted on my iMac no matter whom I buy, so I'm dealing with these Newertek Voyagers. The other thing that's messed up about these Newerteks is if both are plugged in to the two Firewire ports of my iMac, when I wake up in the morning, I can't eject either one without a force eject. I'm hoping if I can daisy chain them somehow by SATA I'll get faster data transfers, not have to copy back to my iMac everytime I want to copy to the other drive, and have more reliable connectivity with only one Firewire port of my iMac in use.

You can get them - "firewire to sata bridges" is the term.
I don't think it'll make any practical difference - writes will still have to go from one disk, through SATA to the firewire to the Mac, then back out the firewire to the other SATA. There's no controller to handle the direct connection.
