Hello,
We are facing a strange problem in BI4.1 SP6 with some of the migrated WebI reports from our old XIR3.1 env. I have logged into BI Launch Pad and changed my Web Intelligence preferences to Applet for viewing and modifying. Under these settings an .xls data source allows me to view the query but a .csv data source displays the following message:
When I use Rich Client I can see the query but when I try to switch data provider using the button highlighted below:
I get the following dialogue box which does not allow me to access the BI server:
It also does not allow me to see any other files that are not text files ie., the drop down at the bottom of the above screenshot does not list any other options.This is different from the dialogue box when I try to change the data source of an .xls data source:
I have received no error messages apart from when I have tried to manually type the file path of an .xlsx data source into the File Name box.
I am using Excel 2007 but these reports are quite old so were probably built using Excel 2003. We also have Excel 2010 available within the force.I cannot even see the location of the BI server to switch the data provider. I have also tried to switch the reports from an unmanaged .csv data source to an unmanaged .xlsx data source to see if I could do this as an interim step before switching to a managed .xlsx data source but this won't work either.
Can any one please help.
