I had the impression that a .lov file is only created when one selects 'export with universe' on the list of values, however perhaps I am recalling incorrectly. I can't test this right now as I only have access to a production system and not much room to fiddle around. We have a universe with...

Hi, we have recently added some new servers for deski and webi and I just noticed that the folks who added these put spaces. is this normally considered ok, or might it result in issues? ex: "server1.desktopintelligencejobserver 2" instead of ""server1.desktopintelligencejobserver2" <-- is...

we have reports hanging in pending from time to time, and haven't been horribly concerned about it, however a new group just added content to our system and they need scheduling to work perfectly; we have been around in circles with sap, so figured I'd post here: anyone have this issue? reports...

I am working with someone new and they have suggested to me that too many redundant cms services running (say on 3 or 4 servers) will not offer improvement in processing but might actually cause issues as opposed to setting up 2 cms to run on 2 servers, and have any remaining servers running...

please let me know what others recommend for analyzing report usage (counts, frequency, # of users, users by type of report, disabled users, etc). third party tools or just stick with webi reports/activity universe/query builder. Also wondered about best tool/s for review of security settings...

Due to limited resources I am being asked to consider whether we could install boxi 4.0 pro on the same server as 3.1. Normally I would say why give yourself the headache, but I am considering it, since the folders, frs and most other components would likely be easy to keep separate. My main...

BOXI 3.1 SP5, Pro - just upgraded, so maybe this is related to SP5? Windows Server 2003 R2. We are seeing intermittent issues with REFRESH DATE in the lower right corner of a webi report (might be deski too). Refresh date will be far in the past, and even the data is not in line with what is...

Does anyone know if SAP Data Integrator can be installed/used totally stand alone from a business object cms? Seems like it ought to be possible, but person installing so far has not been able to figure out a way to get around request for CMS info. (or Data Services). thanks! -if this is the...

We have Data Integrator installed on a server which we log into to make changes, etc. Upon first opening DI designer, it freezes (won't open anything) After closing and reopening a few times (approx 6 or 7 times) it works like a charm. WT?? Why on earth would this be the case? thanks for any...

Hi, we have set up links in reports to send one value from a row to a report as a parameter value (aka 'drill across'). We have also links where the values users entered for the first report parameters are sent to the second report as parameter values. We now have a request to set up a link...

Is there a way to use OpenDoc or another similar function to schedule a report rather than open it to view?

I ran into this issue yesterday, figured out a work around, but am still curious. We had a column in a db2 db set up as 'char', not really necessary. Lots of numbers were less than the fixed width of 7, such as '54556 ', some where completely blank ' '. When setting up an alerter like...

Found this statement in a closed thread. "... it was a locked universe on the servers - deleted them off the servers and when I next used the Java report panel it repopulated the server with the repository version of the universe and opened in the Java report panel with no problem." Has anyone...

Trying to set up single sign on here, getting excruciatingly close, but still failing at a certain point. Windows 2003, asp.net, XI R2,SP2. Setting up a new test lab instance. I have an admin account in AD which I've added to the auth. page. I am able to pull in the main domain associated with...

I have created a business view which outputs three columns and I have successfully set this in a report as a three-level cascading prompt which works fine. I need to take one more step if possible - can one of the upper two levels be set to allow user's to enter data? I figured this doesn't...

We have recently been asked to move from non-expiring database logon passwords to ones which expire, for security reasons. We are looking for a way to do this most efficiently, even if it involves doing a little coding, we would consider all options. We are running on windows, boxi r2 sp2...

I have been asked to try and set up an automated alerts on our boxir2 servers when the cms or other bobj services are stopped for whatever reasons. Something that would send an email or text msg if possible. We are on MS Windows Server 2003 and someone at our office proposed having the...

I have recently inherited some servers at my workplace; I know next to nothing about dealing with viruses. One of the servers just recently received updated security patching (previous admin did not make sure this was up to date). Since then the virus scan has been daily deleting viruses (mostly...

I have been asked to find out what java virtual machine (jvm) download file we should have to be most-up-to-date, including daylight savings corrections for 2007 for our business objects xi r2 installation. We have also installed mhf1 and chf15, which included dst patching. question - if the...

I am trying to create an good work flow for creating and re-using business views to support dynamic prompts in various crystal reports being developed by others. The devloper has created multiple versions of each prompt group and now is having a hard time telling them apart so she can export...
