Web-Intelligence Reports against Access Database

We are unable to run Web-Intelligence reports against Microsoft Access Database which resides on a network drive
Able to create Unvierse, and Universe Connection to the Access Database through ODBC, but unable to run Web-I reports, when tried we get the following error
A database error occured. The database error text is: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path.  Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.. (WIS 10901)
Did anyone tried to develop Web-I reports from Access database on a network drive, if so I request you to provide us details and your findings
Thank you

We run the designer on the same machine where BOBJ runs and also on other client machines, from disigner it works fine,
The service account which is used to run BO Application Services has full control access to the network location and folder where the database resides
We can run / refresh Desk-I and Web-I rich client but cannot run web-i reports against access database
Thanks

  • BLOB data in Web Intelligence report

    Hello,
    I am doing research, how to display documents which are
    stored in BLOB field in a database.
    I would like to create list of the document names with Web Intelligence
    report and make a link to document. Link to the document should open the
    document, the document can have different MIME types (doc, pdf, jpg,
    tiff, ....).
    Could you please help me to find right solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

  • Date data from Web Intelligence Report not equal to Date from Source

    Hi,
    I am creating a Web intelligence report based on a BEx query. I have a field called 'Date' that I am bringing over from the BEx query. It has a format of MM/DD/YYYY. When I view the 'Date' in Web Intelligence, it is displaying as 1/1/70. For example, in the BEx Query, 'Date' = 11/01/2011. In Crystal Reports, it is showing up as 1/1/70 as the only date. The source field contains more than 1 date.  I'm not sure what's going on. I am using the 14.0.0 (2010) version of the Web Intelligence through the BusinessObject Launch Pad.
    Please help!

    Hi
    The patches for SAP BusinessObjects BI4.0 are accumulative.  This means you can download the latest patch (for the Support Package that you have installed) and it will have all the patch fixes
    It looks like older patches are being removed from the sites & only the most recent patch or patches are available since they are accumulative
    I believe Patch 2.15 should now be available, but anything later than Patch 2.6 should help you in this instance
    I hope this helps
    regards...ian

  • BI Launch Pad - Error opening Web Intelligence Report (Error: INF)

    Hi:
    We're working with 4.1 Support Pack 3 Patch 1
    Version: 14.1.3.1300
    We migrated a Webi report from development environment to testing and it was working fine.
    After making some minor changes on the Web Intelligence report, we migrated again, but now when we open the Web Intelligence report we get the following error:
    Faltal Exception occured. The cause was:  com.businessobjects.corba.generic.container.proxy.internal.DependencyFailoverCallbackImpl$FailoverFatalException:
    Prepare failover failed (Error: INF)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Florencia

    Hi Florencia,
    It seems like report is corrupted some how.
    To check report is existing in filestore or not , go to report in Launchpad->Properties->check File name , there should be frs path assigned to it.If not it is corrupted.
    Ex : File Name:frs://Input/a_067/064/004/278595/auytslwhrgrdneqcvzbefs0-guid[atli.nsurgzit4q8pfgonmi].wid
    If it corrupted , check in myfavourites : ~webintelligence folder , there you can find last auto saved instance.If not we may need to create new report.

  • Gauges/Dials in BO 4.0 Web Intelligence Reports

    Hi All,
    We are currently working on BO 4.0 and want to add Gauge in web intelligence report. As we know that, Gauge is not existing in the list of components provided by BO webI so we need to do some work around or even for the single value display which other component we can use in WebI.
    Can anyone suggest how we can achieve the same?

    Personally, I'd do something like this:
    Open Microsoft PowerPoint, use the drawing tools to create a thing that looks like a dial (with a needle).
    Copy and paste it 8 times.
    Move the needle on each so that's it in a different position.
    Right click the shapes and click "Save as Image".
    In Webi, add a blank cell where you want the picture to be.
    Click the alerters icon in the toolbar.
    Add some rule, for your measure (whatever should drive the needle of the chart).
    Click the format button, and on this page, select an image for that sub-alerter.
    I think 8 is the limit. You can always apply to alerters (each with 8 sub-alerters) to the same cell.

  • How To Clear The Web Intelligence Report Cache in BO 4.0 Linux

    Hi Experts,
    I have followed the SAP Note 1207029 to Clear The Web Intelligence Report Cache in BO 4.0 Linux, but in the note they have mentioned the path of BO XI 3.1 that doesn't exist in BO 4.0.
    Given Path in the note: <installation directory>/useraccount/xir2/bobje/data/computername_50064/storage/docs
    In BO 4.0: Inside Installation directory theres no useraccount directory.
    Please anybody tell me the path of BO 4.0 in the linux server to clear the WEBI report cache.
    Thanks in Advance,

    This would be your path

  • WIH 00013 time out error while viewing a BO Web intelligence report

    Hi,
    I have a BO web intelligence report. While viewing the report i get WIH 00013 time out error. I have another report with everything same as this one except for one filter condition. That is working fine but former is giving me an error.
    I tried changing the timeout values to 120 minutes from 90 minutes in connection server setting but didn't work.
    Also when i run the same report by scheduling it in CMC and format as PDF, then it works fine. This error only comes when i try to view the report directly from infoview.
    Please let me know if there is any other way to resolve.
    Thanks!

  • Web Intelligence Report Server - Error: Failed to run rexec. Error number

    Hello,
    I post a message in this forum :
    "When i want to start "Web Intelligence Report Server" with CMC, i've got this error :
    Web Intelligence Report Server: Echec du démarrage/de l'arrêt du service sur l'ordinateur distant : Error: Failed to run rexec. Error number: %12.
    Any idea ?"
    I've do this command :
    bouser@v-bo-1 bobje$ ./ccm.sh -restart ras
    bouser@v-bo-1 bobje$
    but i have always the same error "Error: Failed to run rexec. Error number: %12".
    Thanks

    Please try to avoid posting duplicate forum posts.
    This command :
    bouser@v-bo-1 bobje$ ./ccm.sh -restart ras
    Restarts RAS server and has nothing to so with WebIntelligence.
    To be able to Start/Stop servers from CMC, you have to have rexec running on your Unix box.
    Google rexec for more information on what it does and ask your Unix admin to enable it.

  • How to add image in web intelligence report?

    Hi All,
    I tried to add an image into web intelligence report by using the background image function available in the appearance settings. But when I tried to click on the button with ellipse, it does not show up a dialog box.
    Do I miss out anything? Help is really needed.
    Thanks
    David Yee

    Hi David,
    You can try these steps to see if the Background image dialog box is appearing for a Free Standing Cell.
    1. In Webi Java Report Panel, select Templates-> Free Standing Cells -> Formula and Text Cells-> Blank Cell
    2. Click and drag the cell in the report.
    3. Select the cell Properties
    4. Under Text Format, click on the button in the Background Image property.
    5. You can select the u201CImage from URLu201D or u201CImage from fileu201D.
    6. If you are selecting u201CImage from URLu201D, change the u201CRead cell content asu201D property to u201CImage URLu201D under Display section in the Properties Window.
    Hope this helps.

    to add an image to the Webi
    1) add your images in this folder" C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Images" in a jpg format  lets say " myimage.jpg"
    2) add a free standing cell to the web report.
    3) in the properties of this cell , go to background image , click custom , write the name of the image "myimgae.jpg" by default it will wirte to you "boimg://myimage.jpg" and it will show you your image in the box
    4) configure the properties of the image like, position and border, etc.
    good luck
