Hi,

 

 

I need to accept data from user in dd/mm/yyyy format, but as of now the default format what the prompt is taking is mm/dd/yyyy.

 

Considering the prompt as 'Date from'. Kindly help me out with the code for dd/mm/yyyy.

 

As of now the query is MRK.Data.From_Date=@Prompt('Date from','D',,,).

 

 

Thanks.

Is a subquery in a BO report limited to a max number of records???

$
0
0

Here's my problem:

I recieved an excel sheet with 700 records of customers from a client who wants me to to create a report with specific data for these customers in my Business Objects universe (BO6.5 on SQL Server).

So I created a dataprovider with query 1, i.e. the requested data of customers. Then I created a second dataprovider, query 2, based on 'personal files', i.e. the excel sheet. In query 1 I added to the conditions that each customer should be in (sub)query 2 (CustomerId In list of the query result ('query2.CustomerId').

the syntax I have used for this seems OK.

However, I recieve the following error: "Too many selected values (LOV0001)". I know this error has to do with parameter MAX_INLIST_VALUES, which is limited by default to 99 and can be extended to 256 max. But I thought it refers to the max number of items in lists of values.

When I limit the number of records in the excel sheet to 99 the result is perfect (proof that I got the syntax right!). I can upgrade the parameter to 256, and can split the excel sheet into three, but that will not be useful when next time my client sends me 10.000 customer records.

 

Can I make reports in BO which use subqueries that result in more than 256 records at all? (hardly imaginable).

What is the best way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

 

Is there a solution to the this issue where fhsql will not convert to webi in 3.1.OR 4.1

Some of the  FHSQL Deski report where converted with no issue

Even thought a secure connection was created, lm still getting this -

 

"Not Converted : ABCD - Free-hand SQL connection problem"



I have done alot of research, but non of their solutions work

One solution is to create a biar file of the FHSQL deski and migrate to 4.1 using UMT,

then use RCT 4.1 to convert, but DID NOT WORK.


Please help, users are on my tail.



Thanks

Cannot open document (Error: INF)

We have migrated reports from version Business Objects 6.5.1 to Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2. We have been receiving sporadic 'Cannot open document (Error: INF)' now and again whenever you open Desktop Intelligence reports using Infoview. Have any other users come across this issue using BOXI 3.1 SP2. I do not believe that this issue occurred on SP1.

 

This error is very frustrating.

 

I have browsed various forums and implemented changes which have had no effect whatsoever including the SAP Marketplace.

 

We are also receiving SetPrompts Failed errors. When a report is opened in Infoview and you refresh a report, a blank dialog appears with a red cross. if you refresh the report again then the SetPrompts Failed error appears. I have evene made changes according to article 1364437 based on this error and this has not resolved the issue.

Bonjour à tous,

 

Même si le titre est assez explicite, je vais compléter ma demande. J'aimerai depuis une macro excel pouvoir piloter l'apllication BO XI. Plus précisement, j'aimerai pouvoir :

Quelqu'un connait-il un code VBA permettant cela ?

 

D'avance, merci beaucoup

Upon opening a report I get an error message: "This report uses an invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead." The report opens in the preview window as an un-modifiable picture of the report. I must be able to modify it! This report is generated by Crane Streamware/Vendmax. It is the first one I have opened that reacts this way.

 

Thank you,

Thanks in advance and my apologies if this has been asked/answered, but i did not get any results using the term "alias"...

 

I'm in deski sql view and I'd like to add a sql alias.  The syntax I use in sql server for this would be:

 

'Some Text' AS 'Bogus Field' or

dbo.table.field AS 'Different Field Name'

 

How can I do that in deski's sql viewer?

 

Thanks,

Desktop Intelligence: Business Objects has stopped working in Windows Vista

Hi,

We have installed the BO XI 3.1 SP3 client components in Windows Vista Machine. When I was working with Desktop Intelligence, the program keep terminates irregularly. A pop-up window would appear saying "Business Objects has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." It asks me to close the program. The window always pops up even when I just terminate the BOE normally. It sometimes pops up when I was just trying to refresh the data or in the middle of working with the application.

 

THanks.

DeskI schedule often fail Cannot find the 'Universe' universe. (DA0011)

Hello,

 

I have a user with 25 reoccurring daily schedules.  Out of these one or two will fail daily with the error "Cannot fine the 'Universe Name' universe. (DA0011).  It is not always the same reoccurring schedule that fails.  It fails on any of our four DeskI nodes, and the times it fails are not consistent.

 

It is only happening for instances against one universe.  When I setup a schedule for myself with the same parameters, it completes successfully.

 

Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 FP5

AIX 5.3

Excel format to email.

 

This appears to have started happening in October, but I have not been able to find a reason why it is happening.

 

Thanks!

"This document does not contain any reports" but it runs in DESKI editor

$

We have created a DESKI report that uses a SQL script as a data source. The report runs in our Test environment, and it runs in our Production environment in the DESKI editor (and returns data). However, when we export it to the repository and attempt to run it from InfoView, we get the message "This document does not contain any reports. (Error: INF)". We have re-migrated the report up from Test several times but the outcome is always the same. What's going on here?

 

We are running XIr2 SP4 on Windows servers and XP desktops. Database software is MS SQL Server 2005 and ODBC.
