OpenDoc Session 'Null Object Loaded' Error

$
0
0

Hi all. I have a WebI report that contains an opendoc hyperlink to open a seond report in a new IE tab when viewed in BI Launchpad. If users click to open the new report and then go back to look at the first report, it is showing the following error -

'while trying to invoke the method com.businessobjects.sdk.core.serverIServer.process (com.businessobjects.sdk.core.server.IServerRequest) of a null object loaded from local variable 'server' (Error:INF)'

 

Its as if when the second report is opened the user session for the first one closes. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Ideally we want users to be able to view the reports on seperate tabs alongside each other.

 

Thanks

Hi all,

Can BOWEBI interface with Dynamics CRM?

Dynamics CRM is on Cloud so there is no possibility to connect directly with the database.

Is there any other plugin/instruments to connect, someway, to the Microsoft CRM?

Thank you in advance,

Simona

Hello all,

    One day, a user reports that one WebI report is taking 30 minutes instead of normal 1-2 minutes time. Assume that they are with latest SP/patches and no changes done to that report recently. How to proceed to identify the reasons on the system and fix it, with steps, please ? I tried, but couldn't find this information on SCN, please. Will it have different approach whether the WebI is created on BICS Connection or Universe by IDT, please ?

How to join "If" statements

I have an if statement that works great:

 

=If([Lead ISM]) = "Auger" Then "Auger" ElseIf([BP: ISM]) = "Auger" Then "Auger" ElseIf([BP: ISM-2]) = "Auger" Then "Auger"

 

Auger is someone's last name, I have about 35 of these names and instead of creating them all individually, I would like to make this one dimension and include everyone.

 

What is the proper way to join these together, I have tested them all out individually and they return the correct data, but they are way off when I try to combine them all together, I feel like I am not joining them correctly.

Hi all,

 

I need to link my reports from Webi with openDocument, but i don't know the syntax to use sInstance=Param.

 

I tried to use:

="<a href=http://server:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=TEST&sInstance=Param&lsSID=2>TEST2</a>"

 

In the syntax above, the child report TEST has a prompt ID, and i want to open the last Instance for the parameter ID=2

 

Can somebody tell me the syntax to use sInstance=Param?

 

Thanks in advance.

I have noticed while opening a report... opendocument.jsp redirect to a page blank page with wording 'business object open document' on top left corner and quickly direct to the real report...

 

sometimes this behavior changes to redirect to a blank page with few html code and then quickly redirect to the real report...

 

any people notice this and how to get rid of that intermediate page?

 

I think it is happening while getting redirected to

BOE/OpenDocument/1511131303/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.faces ...

and it will be gone after

BOE/OpenDocument/1511131303/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.faces?logonSuccessful=true&shareId=15&bttoken=MDAwRGZJTWZFbl5fQl0wamJ ...

Hi All,

 

A previous developer had created a cross tab report with the following fields: Location, Department, Year, Month and Count of Accounts as seen in the attached Image (Crosstab_1)

crosstab_1.JPG

 

I need to be able to combine the totals from the respective Department into the corresponding Location and Department.

 

As an example, Data from Location = All Cities for Apr, May and Jun from Department = ABC Grocery, DEF Clothing and XYZ Kitchenware should be added to Location = Los Angeles and the respective departments.

 

Similarly, data from ABC restaurant, JKH Clothing and LMO Kitchenware from All- Cities needs to be added to Location = New York and the corresponding departments.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

 

We have dialog user in BW for OLAP connectivity between BO and BW. (BO version 4.0)

We have observed that the dialog processes of this BO user keep running for a long time in BW even when there are no webi reports runnning in BO.

 

We have checked this in SM51 many times and we had to manual kill the processes as it used to impact the performance of BW system.

 

 

 

I would appreciate if anyone would suggest the possible causes and solutions to overcome this issue.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Double hop authentication setup in BO 4.1

$

Hello Gurus,

I am having a situation here.

I have Application, DB, and Business Objects on three different servers.

My BO server has been configured with 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC drivers using Windows authentication.

Connections have been tested successfully on ODBC Drivers, and Universe.

Now the issue is when the reports are executed on the rich client, they are fine. But, when I execute the same report on Info view ( launchpad) I get the SQL server driver authentication. When I further digged in , I came to know that we need to have SQL server authentication on driverse instead of Windows authentication. Client's policy is against this and they do not want to have the user changed to SQL server auth.

They suggested if we can do the Double hop authentication , where an anonymous user goes to infoview or launchpad and executes the reports, and then it takes the windows auth user to reach the DB and retrives the results and displays in the report.

Is this possible? If yes, can you please suggest with a work around of steps need to be taken?
