Hi Everyone, We are currently running Business Objects Enterprise XI R1 on a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 1. BOE is original install with some hot fixes applied. Have not as yet loaded any BOE SP's. Our windows administrators want to install Windows 2003 SP2 which has...

A long time ago I had a similar experience on a much smaller scale. Can't offer you a reason or a fix for 1,2,3, but I can share what I did in respect to 4. to reduce the impact on your security model should it happen again. For each WinAD group, create a corresponding Enterprise group and...

The alert notification in CE/BOE does not give the option to send as an attachment. The only other possibility that may do what you want is a tool from APOS. http://www.apos.com/DistributionServer/ Good Luck. Malcolm.

Try this.... Within the report, create an alert that is triggered for every row in the report. Then instead of scheduling to an email destination, use Alert Notification under the Schedule tab. An email will only be sent if an alert is triggered when the scheduled report runs. If there are no...

It might be worth having a look at some 3rd party tools such as Object Manger from APOS Systems. I have been using this with success. It enables you to "promote" new versions and preserve existing database connections, parameter settings, schedules etc. Malcolm.

Hi there, It is possible to change the styles used for the parameter screen. I needed to do this as the default window size for ActiveX viewer (release 1) is too narrow, requiring the user to scroll to the right to complete range parameters and to see all options selected for a multiple...

Hello everyone, I am testing Live Office with Business Views and have found problems. Scenario 1: Same as in thread782-1022051 the number of rows returned are related to RAS batch size, but correct rows are returned from the same Business View when using Crystal Reports or Crystal Reports...

Hello there, Whenever we modify an existing sort or group within Crystal Reports Explorer XI, our RAS service crashes. Has anyone else got this same problem OR is this working OK for you? RAS version is 11.0.0.1382. Thanks, Malcolm.

I have been running XIr1 for several months on 2003sp1 with no issues that I am aware of. http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/boe_xi_supported_platforms.pdf still does not list SP1, so I suggest you also contact BO Tech Support, as I did, to confirm the latest...

Try it out, You should find that the suggested solution will solve your problem. That is the way I have our XI server configured and I think you can do this in 10 as well. If the user views a report/instance and then exports, they will be denied the ability to export as .rpt but can...

Hello there, Try these steps: Set up a simple report. Draw a box around your column headings in page header and extend through your detail section into the section below. Increase your magnification, then draw a virtical line to divide your columns. Start the line at the top of the box and...

Mikael, I am not aware of any way this can be done with the tools provided by BO. I did experiment with modifying a setting in the web.config file within the Infoview web content which implied the ability to set a different starting "page" but it had no effect. It's been a while and I'm at...

Mikael, Good to hear you have a solution. I agree with your comments on setting up the dhtml viewer for infoview, which is why I have not been able to put time into getting this working myself. Malcolm.

Another thought Mikael, Do you also need to create an "OLAP Intelligence Connection" to get the DHTML viewer to work? You can manage these via the CMC, but the only way I know of that you can create them is via Infoview. BTW, I have removed this capability from Infoview for end users. Malcolm.

Mikael, Have you granted the necessay permissions to the cube via Analysis Manager? i.e. for the account that the WCA runs under for the DHTML viewer. or for each individual windows user or windows group for viewing via the activex viewer? Activex connects directly to the cube bypassing...
