I'm looking to create some usage reports that are better than the current site or Frontpage based ones. Has anybody done this before? If so, what are the necessary tables required in order to build there queries? Thanks.

Hopefully an easy one ... I need to make changes to the searching on my Sharepoint server but cannot find the Configure Search And Indexing page. It is supposed to be under site settings, but all that is displayed is a 'scaled down' version of the screen captures that I have seen online. I do...

Sharepoint novice has a question ... The Microsoft knowledge base has a feedback survey for each article. I was wondering if this is possible through Sharepoint, if so it's probably a web part. Would anybody have any approaches for this type of feature, or and information that could help get...

Yes, many people have SSO working with AD and ReportNet. Settings for the AD provider use the kerberos protocol and thus have a set of requirements to work. Call Support for this list.

Thanks for the input. Figured it out though, Siebel passes a session variable called nqUser. Once I found the variable, a simple JavaScript/HTML solution was easily devised.

This is probably because IIS is not returning the required information. This was actually logged with MS and as of yet, they have still no identified why this is occurring. There is a setting you can put in to just pull the REMOTE_USER variable and bypass Kerberos authentication altogether...

You have to extend the schema first through Configuration Manager. Make sure that the user that you are using to extend the schema is part of the group that owns the schema (typically Schema Admins). Also, the schema must be extended on the master schema server and not a child domain.

If you are saving an mdl file, you can't store the password. Try using a pyi file.

There is no OLE automation interface for PPES. This is why you need to use the PPADMTOOL via batch, or via batch through VB.

In my Siebel Sales environment, I'm trying to configure a third party application in my Sales Analytics tab. This works perfectly fine, however, I'm at a loss to find a way to pass my Siebel ID to the cgi login for the third party application, for Single Sign On (SSO). Passing the credentials...

For ReportNet, nothing needs to be done to the AD environment. ReportNet, if using the AD provider, will connect using the Kerberos protocol, same as when you log into Windows. For the BI and Planning products, the dsheuristics setting must be set to 0000002. This is basically to allow anonymous...

Right click on the virtual directory in IIS and go to the directory security tab. Make sure that JUST 'Integrated Windows Authentication' is selected. This will set the REMOTE_USER variable and allow for seamless sign on.

Is the cube enabled for both web and windows access in PowerPlay Enterprise Server admin tool?

If your web server is configured to set the REMOTE_USER variable, then single sign on will be possible with the NTLM provider. For instance, make sure that ONLY the 'Integrated Windows Authentication' option is selected on the security tab for the virtual directory in IIS.

ReportNet will NOT be able to work with SQL Server unless it is Service Pack 3.
