Greetings, I have a report. The report was created using Oracle Connection. The data comes from SQL query. One of the column produces a column with Multivalue. I created a new variable using the function MAX to avoided the multivalue. How can I calculate the difference between two columns with Date format. I appreciate your help.

"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.

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.

I cannot login through windows AD credentials using Deski however when i do the same with WebI, i dont face any problem.

Note: None of the other users are facing this issue. I Switched to another user's deski on another machine and still couldnt login althought the owner of this other machine could login using Windows AD from DeskI.

 

How to reproduce error:

 

put windows AD username and password in the login dialog box. Make sure to use the BO Server name (without port or java text in in). Also, the authentication should be windows AD

Following is the error message:

[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Internal error.(hr=#0x80042a01)

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

 

 

Thanks.

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,

-ouvrir une requête

-la rafrachir

-extraire les données

 

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

 

D'avance, merci beaucoup

Hello Gurus,

 

I would like to know the difference between Scheduling a WEBI report and Publishing a WEBI report in XIR3?

Is there any difference between the two?

 

And how can we do Report bursting in XIR3?

"Invalid Session. Please close your browser and logon again (WIS 00013)" .

Hi. How can I trace the origin of the following error that is happening with some particular reports that are accessed from InfoView:

 

"Invalid Session. Please close your broser and logon again (WIS 00013)" .

 

  • We´re not using restrictions at Universe level.
  • The settings for Timeout have been increased (following what is in SAP notes).
  • It only happens with some reports from some Universes
  • It happens as soon as you log in and try to refresh the report.
  • Reports run fine from Desktop Intelligence. Error only happens from InfoView.
  • BusinessObejcts Version XI 3.1 sp5  fp 5.3.

 

Somewhere I read that it maybe because  "your query is returning a huge number of rows and your Webi Service is running out of memory to handle it. Try to give a limit to the number of rows fetched in the query properties say to 100 and then restart ur SIA and run the report again." Except that I´m not using Webi, I´m using Desktop Intelligence.

 

Anyway, where would I check if Deski services are running out of memory?

 

Is there an easy way I can trace the error to the root of it? How?

BI 4.1 DCP - Deski reports refresh issue

$

Hi,

 

We have migrated/upgraded our BO XI R2 platform into BI 4.1 SP5.

 

Our BO users having Deski reports stored their local PCs - reports build on universes from repository. No local DB connections used.

 

So, we have installed below clients with DCP in all User PCs.

1. BO 3.1 SP7 client (with DCP)

2. BI 4.1 SP5 client

 

And generated extranet file from BI Launch Pad and copied to Business Objects folder. When users connecting to BI 4.1 server in 3.1 Desktop Intelligence tool (3-tier mode) and refreshing their deski reports, they are getting below error.

 

"Connection or SQL Sentence Error (DA0005)

Exception: CS, DBDriver failed to load C:\Program Files\SAP Business Objects\....... \lib32\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found)" error.

 

Appreciate your response on this issue.

 

Thanks

 

regards,

Syed Basheer
