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 :

 

-ouvrir une requête

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

 

D'avance, merci beaucoup

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.

Desktop Intelligence *.rep Files Opening In The Same Window

Hello,

 

We are running BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, the version of the Desktop Intelligence client we are using is 12.7.1.2131.

 

A problem we have encountered is if you double-click a Desktop Intelligence document (*.rep) on a Windows 8.1 Enterprise machine, it always launches in the same instance of Desktop Intelligence that you have open.

 

However if you double-click a Desktop Intelligence document (*.rep) on a Windows 7 Enterprise computer it always opens a new instance of Desktop Intelligence.

 

Most Windows 8.1 Enterprise users want every Desktop Intelligence document to open in a new instance.

 

Is anyone able to advise what setting is controlling this behavior? I cannot see anything within 'Tools' -> 'Options', so I'm wondering if its a registry key.

 

Thanks

Difference Between Migration and Upgradation in BO

Hi All,

 

I am very confused of the terms I have found while searching in google on Migrating the content from BO 3.1 to BO 4.0.

Some were saying migrating the content using some process and some were mentoning upgrading the version of BO using some process.

I am changing from BO 3.1 to BO 4.0. what actually we must use here. Is it Migration or Upgrading.

 

After searching I found that, if system architecture is different, then it is migration if not it is upgradation. is it correct. ?

 

Can any one give a clear vision on this.

Is there a Smart  way of achieving this analysis
report  ?   I need to complete the analysis very quickly .

 

I have to modify the name of the bank on all the reports.

Unable to create connection to Derby

I am trying to create a Universe Designer connection to Apache Derby. I have the Derby server running on localhost:1527 and I can see the database using Eclipse Data Tools and query it. But, when I attempt to create a connection using Universe Designer, I see the "Derby" option under "Connection"->"New", but when I go to test the connection, I get the following error:

 

CS: Java Class not found in classpath : org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver

 

I thought in order for a client to connect to Derby, it is supposed to use the derbynet.jar . How do I get this working?

 

Do I need to drop a jar file somewhere? I don't see a driver connections option and it looks like from the manual that the drivers are supposed to be "already" installed.

 

I am using Universe Designer 12.1.0.882

Scheduling deski report to html format fails

We're running boxi 3.1 SP4 on a Linux redhat machine. When scheduling a deski report to html format to unmanaged disk, the report stays in processing state for 10 minutes and then it goes to failed state with error "Object failed to run due to an error while processing on the Job Server" . Additionally I get the message "The scheduler component failed the object identified by <jobnumber>. The job associated with the object was unresponsive."

Scheduling to other formats works fine. I have tracing on but there's not any hint in the logfiles. The htm file and it's subdirectories are created on the temporary location /data/procSched/<name>.DesktopIntelligenceJobServer but it's not copied to the configured destination. It is not an issue with permissions, the server has write permissions to the directory.

Hi All

 

I need to create a report using Prompt as Date range.And when i give the date as range the report should get all the rows from the db and only certian coloumns should get filtered out.

 

 

IF the Data in the DB have 5 rows

 

 

Colm1      Created_Date      Modified_date      Value           Modified_value

 

 

A              1-SEP                  10-OCT                 10                    20

B              20-APR                21- JUN                20                    30

C              2-AUG                                              30                    50

D              20-June                3-AUG                  40                    60

 

 

 

And when i give date range in the report . it should get all the rows in the report but the modified values must come only in the date range given.

if i give date range between 30-June to 30 Sep , i should get the below result.

     

Colm1      Created_Date     Modified_date      Value         Modified_value

 

 

A            1-SEP                                               10                   

B            20-APR                  21- JUN               20                    30

C            2-AUG                                              30                   

D            20-June                 3-AUG                 40                     60

 

 

Since only B & D got modified in the date range value. we the above result.

 

Please suggest how i can create the report

DeskI Import from Repository not showing any reports for admin user

Hi Experts,

 

We are in BOXI R2 SP2. When we try to import a report from repository from DeskI client using administrator credential, we are not able to see any report. It was working fine till yesterday. When we tried with other user credentials who are included in Administrator group, we are able to import reports. issue is only with Administrator credential.

 

We haven't made any changes in system and we are able to see all reports in Infoview using Administrator credential. Server and client are in same patch level and things were fine till yesterday.

 

If anyone has faced a similar situation, please help us with your suggestions. your inputs would be highly appreciated.

 

I would also like to confirm if there is any change in access level for Administrator and a new user included in administrator group. I believe there is no difference in access level. But still would like to confirm the same.

 

thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Nikhil Joy
