Regarding WEBI rich client and Info view.

Hi all,
I am able to open an universe based on the query created using querydesigner through the rich client but it is giving the error when I execute the same query based universe through the infoview.
Please share the information if any of u have.
Thanks
vinay.

This might help....
As you know:
Rich Client works like Designer and DESKI, I mean connections are from your PC to Database
Whereas Infoview/WEBI are from your BOBJ Server to Database

Can anyone help me???
Thank's a lot

Hi all,
thanks for your suggestions.
Unfortunately both errors still remain.
1) Web Intelligence Rich Client
I have installed BOE client tools using XI3.1 SP3 Client tools package in C:\Business Objects. The report's import runs well, but when i try to open one of the imported reports, i receive the error: WIJ 2002.
The details are:
Version:null Analisi dello stack: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: XML parser problem: XMLJaxpParser.parse(): Element type "ABOUT_Patentnumbers" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>". at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.jaxp.XMLJaxpParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.webi.richclient.XMLviaOccaRC.getServerConfiguration(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLServerConfiguration.load(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLServerConfiguration.load(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.TCMain.initClient(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.thread.InitAppletRunner.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.webi.richclient.XMLviaOccaRC.getServerConfiguration(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLServerConfiguration.load(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.xml.XMLServerConfiguration.load(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.TCMain.initClient(Unknown Source) at com.businessobjects.wp.tc.thread.InitAppletRunner.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

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.

Vamsee

Webi Rich Client

Hello,
Can we access a universe that is on file server and run reports of it using webi rich client two tier ? If it is possible, how can we implement that?
Thanks

Hi Sumanta,
Our requirement is to store a universe on any shared location and all the users can access this universe and build reports using webi Rich client two tier. We are trying implement this by following steps.
There is an option in rich client to change the default universe location to save. When you login to Webi Rich Client and go to Tools-->Options, there you can give the shared location where the universe is saved. By doing this users can access the universe that is in shared drive, but all users must have a local ODBC connection to run the reports using Rich Client in Two tier.

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

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.

Philippe

Different values between Rich Client and Web Intelligence

Hi all,
our landscape is BO Edge 4.1 SP2 Patch 5
we just create a report in Web Intelligence with a query bics from BW
We discovered that sometimes the report retrives fake values from BW: the same report refreshed in Rich Client shows correct values.
BW data are frozen (updated only once a day)
We tried to:
- save report with Rich Client and published it in the public folder (but Web Intelligence still shows wrong data)
- upgrade Java Virtuale Machine to the latest release
- looking for system and BO log without any clue
- looking for SAP note (some info only related to BI 3.1)
Workaround: issue disappear only restarting BO SIA
Can you help us?
Any idea?
Regards.

Alpha Sorting of Universe and LOV in Webi Rich Client

We currently are using both Webi and Webi Rich Client XI3.1 SP4 in Webi the universes and the LOV sort Alpha Numeric automatically, however in the Rich Client the list of universes and the LOV are not sorting Alpha Numeric. In designer we have all the universes with the Force_Sort_LOV set to yes
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated

Have you tried dropping the associated universe LOV and re-publish? This happened to us in the past.
Steps:
1) In the univ designer object properties, deselect the "associate a LOV" in Properties tab. Close. Save. Export to CMS. (this drops the LOV)
2) Go back in univ designer and check the associated LOVs again to rebuild then republish to CMS.
Does this work?

Best practice: Developing report in Rich Client or InfoView?

Hi Experts,
I have a question on the best practice of developing webi reports.
From what I know, a Webi report can be created in Rich Client and then exported to one or more folders. From InfoView, the report can also be changed, but the change is only local to the folder.
To simplify development and maintenance, I believe both creation and change should be done solely in either Rich Client or InfoView. However, some features are only available in InfoView, not in Rich Client. One example is hyperlink for another Webi report. As a second step, I can add the extra features in InfoView after the export. However, if I change the report in Rich Client and re-export it, the extra features added via InfoView (e.g. report hyperlink) will be overwritten.
As I'm new to BO, may I have some recommendations on the best practice for building reports? For instance:
1) Only in Rich Client - no adding of feature via InfoView
2) First in Rich Client, then in InfoView - extra features need to be added again after each export
3) Only in InfoView - all activities done in InfoView, no development in Rich Client
4) Others?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Linda

Hi Ramaks, George and other experts,
Thanks a lot for your replies.
For my client, the developers will build most of the reports for regular users to view. However, some power users may also create their own reports to meet ad-hoc reporting requirements.
It's quite unlikely for my client to develop reports based on Excel or CSV data files. And we need to use features such as hyperlink for documents (which is not available in Rich Client). Based on these considerations, I'm thinking of doing all development in InfoView (both developers and power users). Do you foresee any issue if I go for this approach?
Thanks in advance.
Linda

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 ?

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