Business Objects Reports compatibility with firefox

Hi,
Some BO web intelligence reports which were having issues on our live environment. I have noticed that the reports are having no problems with the fonts and numeric display in BO Infoview while using IE browser.
The problem is noticed in BO Infoview while using Mozilla firefox browser. This does not look to be a font specific issue.
This looks to be more with BO reports compatibility with firefox.
Can any one please let me know the plugin / Patch need to be installed which will correct compatibility issue with IE and Mozilla
Environment Details: BOXIR2
Thanks alot !

Hi,
Your only approach is to :
a) use a product that is currently supported by the vendor & who's codeline is still actively maintained
and
b) use a mix of software components that are validated for compatiblity and supported by our product development.

SAP BO 4.1 Webi report sample with prompts to try Restful api

I was not able to find, in the report demo samples available in the SAP BO 4.1 installation, a Webi report with prompts.
I found many Webi reports samples but all are without prompts.
I need at least one Webi report sample with prompts to try the Restful API http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/parameters and http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/schedules with parameters body.
Where can I found such webi sample?
Thanks,
Riccardo

As you have BI 4.1 installed, you could design a sample webi report using Webi Rich Client tool.
Open Webi rich client, select the sample eFashion universe drag few objects in the query and a filter. Set the filter as a prompt and save the report to Enterprise.
Now you could now use this sample report for your handson on REST SDK.

How to run webi report automatically with the current date/system date in webi report

Hi Friends,
I have a webi report which has a date prompt now. Based on the selection that user makes while running a report, he will get the related data for that particular date selection. Now I want to make that date prompt automated that is the report should run automatically based on the system date daily on scheduling.
I want it to run current day automatically without have to go in and pick the date in webi report. I will be scheduling the webi report. Can you please let me know how to achieve this functionality of running a webi report automatically with a system date.
Please let me know if I couldn't make you understand so that I will write with an example.
Waiting for your valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hello Bhasakar,
1.Create sysdate object in the universe
2.Create another query in webi and select only sysdate object
3.In the original query drag the Day object in the filter pane and choose the "List of values" from another query.and select the sysdate object from the second query.
So your report always will run for sysdate...

Sap Query Web Reporting - Issues with accents

Hi,
We was using Web Reporting for Sap Querys, throw this tool we can generate automatically web reports.
When we go to generated web report, selection screen show us character &#56292; instead accent letters.
In addition to this, generated web report shows two buttons with german text: "report ausf?" and "Werte zur?zen".

Hi Peluka,

Webi Reports - Object with id ... cannot be created because it has no name

I'm trying to launch a Webi report from our application using openDocument method. When the report is launched it fails with following error -
30567: Unable to save the document to the repository due to the following error: The object with id number '27731' cannot be created because it has no name. (Error: WIS 30567)
Before scheduling the report I'm calling setName method to set the name of the report but still it does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Manas

Hi John,
I will try to give you some more background about this problem.
From our application we are not directly launching the report. We schedule it to run immediately and then view the instance created (using the instance id returned by the schedule call).
For scheduling we use the web services API (BIPlatform) and before scheduling we fetch all the prompts (again using a webservice API). The call is something like this -
WebiProcessingInfo wProcessingInfo = boWebIReport_.getWebiProcessingInfo();
After that we populate all the prompts with their corresponding values in application and schedule it. However the scheduling fails with the error I mentioned in the start of this thread and when we try to view it we are presented with a screen to enter prompts again.
From the scheduling error it looks like its failing because the name could not be set but I really doubt if thats the case. We use same calls to schedule and view Crystal reports also and they work perfectly. Only Webi is giving this error.
Thanks for looking into this.
Manas

WEBI reports integration with SAP portal

Hello BO experts-
Our client is looking to integrate WEBI reports with SAP portal. I found some documents which describe about have an url iview.
I just want to find out if it is possible to federate webi server with SAP portal.
Thanks,
Sharath.

I don't think you can federate WebI server with SAP portal.
You can use WebI report IDs and integrate with Portal.

Webi report publication with org unit personalization mapping

Hi everyone,
I have an HR Webi report whose source is a Bex query and is scheduled (published) weekly. The report is meant for managers so in the dynamic recipient report (another webi report) I have manager's name, email and org unit. Right now the bex query does not restrict by organizational unit, the filtering by unit is done in webi through the 0employee's org unit attribute. This works, each manager only sees data of her own employees.
However, managers would like to see not only their direct people (employees belonging to her own org unit) but also submanagers, ie, managers of subordinate org units. I tried filtering through the org unit of 0ORGUNIT, not the employee's o.unit attribute, but that doesn't work. The same manager shows up multiple times in the report.
Has anyone managed to publish a webi report (or Crystal if that's possible) that shows the chief hat's subhierarchy?
thanks

Hi Graham,
The publication should work in the same way for a user or a group.
Can you please elaborate on u201Cassigning a user to the groupu201D, I believe this is probably where you go wrong.
Please test same workflow I suggested yesterady, but instead of user, use the group:
1. create the profile
2. add the group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the group for that profile
4. add the group to the publication as Recipient
Does it work or not? If so, then do as follow for the user and group:
1. create the profile
2. Add user and group to the profile
3. assign the profile value to the user and group for that profile
4. add the user and group to the publication as Recipient
Please note that in the above steps, you donu2019t have to assign the user to the group.

Jeff

IWeb compatibility with IE8/Firefox

Hi all, first time posting...just found out about these forums recently & they have been helpful already so I am hoping some of you can shed some light on a technical issue I am having. Just launched my site recently & have been having issues with getting the domain to transfer, I think we've got that licked almost. My actual question is this....
My site which is very content heavy (fire apparatus photos, 100 pages currently with more planned) is very slow when viewing it on my PC laptop (about 2 yrs. old, fast processor with Vista...ughhh & a broadband connection). Some of the links on certain pages do not work at all (most do but there are about 10-15 pages where they don't). Per my 1-to-1 trainer's advice, I updated to IE8 & the latest version of Firefox to see if this helped but still no luck. Another trainer told me that due to compatibility issues, this may not be "fixable". With all the technology out there, despite the differing operating systems with PC & MAC, I can't believe there's no way to fix this issue. 99% percent of the folks visiting this site will be PC users & I don't think many will be thrilled about having to download another browser to view it.
Anyone have a clue how to remedy this? And no, I cannot reduce the amount of pics on the pages.
Sorry for the long explanation, hope someone here can provide some helpful input. Thanks in advance, Tom

1 - I use Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload my sites. It can reduce a site's size by up to nearly 47%. Image files can be compressed to a size you can set. I use a Quality Index (in WSM) of 69%. I've compressed image files with another application to a 41% level with good results for my needs. You can experiment with the settings to the the smallest size that's acceptable for you. PNG files without masks or transparent backgrounds are also optimized by converting to jpgs and optimizing.
2 - computers that don't have that font will substitute one that will probably not fit your design and cause it to look poorly designed.
3 - You might consider breaking down your site into multiple sites with fewer pages. That will allow you to upload fewer pages when changes are made. You can link to the other pages from a master site in a number of ways and then back to the master site.
If you go the multiple site route you could create separate domain files to manage the separate sites. Fewer pages to load in iWeb, etc. I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
Study your options and choose the one you're most comfortable with.

Provide Edit WebI reports authorization with Save as option.

Hello Experts,
I am new to BO authorizations.
I have a scenario where i need to provide my users Edit rights(not modify) and provide them with Save As access while denying the save access(So that they don't overwrite the original report with their changes).
I was able to provide my users access to reports (like view & refresh) but they are not able to edit reports(have already provided Edit report access for Webi), also "save as" come grayed out while Save option is active.
Can anyone suggest how shall i proceed to give the users required rights.
Thanking you in anticipation.
We are on BO 4.0 SP6.

Hello Anurag,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already assigned Schedule & VOD access for the folder but that doesn't help. and at Webi Application level i have allowed almost all the formatting options.
also the Manage - top level security for folders wont work for me as I have to give the users access to their specific folder "A" only.
Best Regards

WebI report saveAs with DocumentInstance

Hi everyone,
I want to save as webi with Report Engine SDK(Java).But I must save the webi,and then Save As ,or customize the content of the page will be lost.
Is It possible to save as webi directly。
my code：
     DocumentInstance wiDoc = widocRepEngine.openDocument(Integer.parseInt(this.docId));
     DocumentInstance wiDocInstance = widocRepEngine.getDocumentFromStorageToken(wiDoc.getStorageToken());
       wiDocInstance.saveAs(webiTitle, this.parentId, catalogList,personalcataloglist);
thanks

My first impression is that you're doing something wrong.
You're not giving me enough information so I can determine what you're doing wrong.
I dislike guessing, but I'm going to guess here that you're launching the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel to do the modifications. You're not using the ReportEngine SDK to do the modifications. So you can't show me code that does the document modifications, since you don't have any.
You're wondering why you have to first "Save" in the Java Report Panel on the client-side, before you can "SaveAs" on the server-side using ReportEngine SDK. The answer is because you have to "Save" in the Java Report Panel to have the Web Intelligence document store the document from the Report Server to the repository, such that you can open it server-side using ReportEngine SDK.
Java Report Panel client-side and ReportEngine SDK server-side don't share WebI Sessions.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

IBM's Lotus Domino Web Access compatibility with Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1

Why I couldn't retrieved my emails when using the Lotus Domino Web Access?
Currently I'm using DWA Release 6.5.6

You can view all email in full mode in firefox/mozilla. You will have to do following setting: -
1. Go Add-ons under tool, find add-ons "Remote XUL Manager" and install it.
2. Restart browser and click Remote XUL Manager under Web Developer. You will find Web developer under orange Icon of Firefox at the top of browser on left side.
3. Launch Remote XUL Manager and click Add then provide full web link of your email access without http:// and click OK
4. After add it, go in File and click Generate Installer and save it in your profile, if you will not get profile location then save it in C drive or anywhere, as you want.
5. Now restart browser and lunch your email again. If you get message with option "Allow" or "Deny" then check on "Always remember this setting" and "Allow", it will repeat this three to four time and save. Now you will see all emails with attachment in full mode. Keep in mind if you attach file in new email it will ask again allow or deny then allow it and check, remember this.
Enjoy. (in case of any problem, let me inform.)
Thanks

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

Hello,
I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.
However, this function seems not to be available for web-reporting...
It would be great if someone could help me out with this!
Thanks & regards,
Arvid

Hi,
we could resolve this issue, so i thought it may also be helpful for others:
In our example we used a file with numbers for materials. This file is stored somewhere in a directory, to which SAP BI must have authorization to read.

WebI reports with BW Aggregates

Can someone please explain how do WebI reports work with BW Aggregates? Let's say I create a BW aggregate and create a BeX query on the aggregate and then create a universe on this BeX query and then a WebI report on this universe, now when I run the WebI report, where will the data source from - the aggregate or the actual BW infocube?
Thanks for your help.
Ameya Kulkarni

Thanks Amr for the promt response. I will be creating my universes on query so I think BW will fetch the data from appropriate aggregate when user executes the report in WebI.
Do I have to create my queries on the aggregate for this to happen? Or will WebI know which aggregate to go to fetch data if I create my BeX query on the actual infocube instead of the aggregate?
Please let me know.
