    lovs : is .lov file always created?

    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...

    Crystal Reports: Extract value for a String

    it's been a while for me coding for crystal, but I believe you'd need to start with instr function. some code something like this - I am sure I have some typos: local numbervar startofstring1; startofstring1:=instr(USPipcouplers=)+15 (the 15 is to get you to the start of the string you really...

    Load balancing of business Object servers in ASP.net webconfig

    are you talking about failover set up, or are you referring to every 2 years you get a new server?

    reports hanging in pending

    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...

    fewer CMS work better than more?

    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...

    Possible to install 4.0 side by side with 3.1 ?

    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...

    Recurring Sched Rpt OLD instance displays; Refresh Date WRONG

    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...

    DI - will not open on server, unless you retry 6 times (?)

    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...

    OpenDocument sending multiple values from a column on report

    this won't work for a large number of values, so we are going to pass the parameter values to a subquery in the second report, which will output a list of nbrs to feed into the main query of the second report.

    OpenDocument sending multiple values from a column on report

    Just found this on SAP site, going to give it a try... "I think the key is instead of having IDs listed individually on each row of the column, each row of the column needs to contain the IDs with semi-colons between in the main report. "

    new database schema

    If you already have an established connection, you might just have to make sure that the username under which your reports connect is granted access to read from that new schema - however as Turkbear suggests...more info on your set up will yield a much better answer. :)

    MS Sql wiped out now crystal APS will not start

    You might not have to reinstall the app, however. You could repoint the APS to the new database, and they would likely be prompted to re-initialize the database. Your report meta-data (aka links, folders, groups, etc.) will be GONE, as stated above, but if you have a biar file of the data you...

    Complicated Question

    Actually it sounds like the odbc/oledb info from your pc is being picked up in the compile and therefore the reports can't connect. Anyway to compile a report on the main server, or like in CE/BOE can you set the connection information within the GUI?
