Hey @ all,

after a Upgrade von BO 4.0 to  BO 4.1 we get an error for only one Analysis OLAP Workspace.

Analysis, Edition für OLAP, hat um 8:59 PM eine unerwartete Ausnahme festgestellt und musste geschlossen werden.

"

Analysis, edition for OLAP encountered an unexpected exception at 9:17 PM that has caused it to close.

The following reasons may have caused the unexpected exception:

•Analysis, edition for OLAP has timed out. Your workspace may have been automatically saved to your Favorites folder as an "autosave" file.

•A fatal exception has occurred. Log on again to Analysis, edition for OLAP.

If you repeatedly see this error, contact your administrator."

We only get this error for one OLAP Report. All other Analysis for OLAP reports are working fine.

In Logging we only get errors in the CMS Service:

"

Hi all,

While creating a basic user ID in BOBJ 4.1 we found that even though we disable their Send Email rights in the BI Launchpad, they are still able to send emails from within the Analysis for OLAP tool.

The reason why this is a problem is it asks users for a "From" email address, where they can put any email address from within the corporate network, which can result in the following scenario, where anyone can impersonate anyone else in the company.

Does anyone know how we can restrict the Send Button, or at least remove the "From" field so users can only send emails from their own email address? In Webi, there is a specific right for this called "Desktop Interface - Send By Mail" but there is nothing like this as far as I can tell in any of the Analysis-related security items.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

John Cintolo

Hello BI experts,

More and more often our users have this pop up when they work hardly with BO (Analysis for Olap 4.1 SP Patch 5) and IE 11.0.9600.17691 :

In English, this means "Are you sure to quit this page?"

They specially have this message when the customize the layout and then come back to the prompt window.

But this message looks like random.

Do you have any idea to solve this annoying problem ? 

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi All,

Analysis for OLAP is not working for SSO. I am using below versions of software's.

BO ANALYSIS 1.4

BOBJ 4.0 SPS 4 PATCH 5

SAP NETWEAVER 7.01 SP 8

BW 7.01 SPS 5

I have created BICS OLAP connection from BOBJ CMC. When I try to create report from SAP Netweaver it is showing below message, but this same connection is working with Analysis Office, in which it is prompted the log in screen for BW.

Is it the expected behavior? or I missed any configurations? It will be helpful if anyone can share your thoughts on this issue.

Thanks in Advance,

Hello,

I am on BI 4.1 SP4. When I resize any pane in analysis in any of our systems, dev, qa, or prod analysis will crash. The error is attached in a screenshot, kind of useless in terms of figuring out why this is happening, typical. Has anyone experienced this?

Cheers,

Hi,

we are currently using the business objects 4.1 Sp4 ,is there any option to Schedule the Analysis for OLAP Reports in this version!!!

and anyone who knows about the exact road map and product support of this tool?

Hello Experts,

My organization is in the process of moving from BEx Web Analyzer queries to Analysis for OLAP reports (we're on BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 3). We are using the pre-existing BEx queries as data providers which has worked well for the most part.

An issue we're running into involves variables of the Selection Option type. Many of our users have a vertical list of values for which they want to run a report. We have been teaching them to copy/paste values into Microsoft Word and use the Replace functionality to get them into a horizontal list separated by semicolons (100000001; 100000002; etc). Pasting these values into Analysis does not work the same as it did in BEx and I'm trying to find a similar workaround so we don't have to create a new variable and change over 50 pre-existing queries. Any ideas?

Regards,

Michael

Our OLAP View has 3 sheets, each out of different query from a common cube connnection.

All the 3 queries has exactly same input variables.

From Promt merge functionality, could we expect user to enter the variable just once for all the 3 sheets?

Now, clicking on each sheets - prompts user each time.

Observation:

Clicking on merge prompt in the prompt screen changes the name of the connection to "SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse"

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks

Hi all,

I defined a OLAP connection for accessing a MS SQL 2008 cube. I'd like to manage also security issues, like the correct visibility of data for specific users.

For example, I have a sales data cube containing information of different countries. I define a OLAP connection for that cube and I create a Analysis view of that data.

want to manage data segregation (some users can only see data from Italy, other users can only see data from England, etc). I'm reading also some manuals and it seems I can't decide this kind of data segregation via SAP BO. Is it so? Do I have to manage these issues using MS SQL server authentication and security or there is a way to manage also with BO Security?

Thanks all for the support!

Best all,

I am looking at the functionality of Analyis for OLAP and have the following questions:

1.     Is it possible with Analysis for OLAP to display baselines (x and/or y axis) within graphs (esp. in scatter diagrams)?

2.     Is it possible with Analysis for OLAP to combine two type of graphic types e.g. line display (1 serie) in combination with  

        Column display?

3.     Is there a functionality within Analysis for OLAP like a report-report interface between reports made both in Analysis for

        OLAP  (Is it e.g.  possible to link multiple graphs & details. So the selection of a DOT in a scatterplot give details or when you

        click another graph/report)?

4.    Display filter values within your report

Thank you for your time and help in advance!

Best Regards,

René

Hi

We already installed HANA database on the db server as MDC (multi-tenant database container) and want to connect BO 4.1 SP5 to HANA DB using OLAP connection but it is giving error (BO_CONN_ERROR) like failed to get connection.

We have followe SAP note 1779252

We dont have any firwall blocking this port as I am able to connect from HANA studio installed.

Also able to connect through IDT using JDBC driver to SAP HANA Database 1.0 .

BO server OS: Windows server 2012

HANA Database OS : Linux

HANA DB Version: HANA 1.0 Revision 93 (MDC)

Hi experts!

I have a problem very boring. I work with Analysis for OLAP over BW. My master data is in ES, so, I need to work with OLAP Connections with language ES saved. The problem is when I create a AOLAP document, de BEx used is not saved with the document. After to save, when I open the same document again, the BEx is asked.

For explain detailed, this is the steps of the problem:

Trying with EN

1) Create an OLAP Connection with BW and language Englis (United States), with the option Save language? checked:

2) By BI Launch Pad, create an new AOLAP document with the OLAP Connection TEST BW EN. For this example, I used the BEx query ZCCAL_O1 TENDENCIA VACACIONES, this query has a variable for country, is necessary has a variable. Save this document with name TEST EN:

3) Close the document TEST EN. Open again this document and the prompt window appears correctly. Select the country and click in OK.

This is the way expected, this is the working expected. But when I want to use a different language then EN...

Trying with ES (the problem)

1) Create an OLAP Connection with BW and language Spanish (Spain), with the option Save language? checked:

2) By BI Launch Pad, create an new AOLAP document with the OLAP Connection TEST BW ES. For this example, I used the BEx query ZCCAL_O1 TENDENCIA VACACIONES, this query has a variable for country, is necessary has a variable. Save this document with name TEST ES:

3) Close the document TEST ES. Open again this document and the problem appears: before the prompt window, other windows appears (Cube Browser) asking the source.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM!

- I've selected the source (BEx query ZCCAL_O1 TENDENCIA VACACIONES) when I created this document. Why this windows appears asking the source?

- Why this message "This component is not connected to the data source"?

- If I don't select a BEx query, nothing occurs, and I lost my document content.

- Is possible to select the BEx query ZCCAL_O1 TENDENCIA VACACIONES again, but is possible to select a total different BEx query.

In some months ago I created a discussion about this problem, but this problem wasn't so clear for me yet.

Analysis for OLAP is not saving with the BEx query

My environment is SAP BO 4.1 SP5 patch 6 (14.1.5.1698) and BW 7.0

I have some considerations after a lot of test done:

1) This problem is an environment's problem. I believe this problem is in the BO installation, is not in BW. Other consultant with a Virtual Machine with same BO did the same test connected with my BW and the problem didn't occurred.

2) If I don't select the box "Save language?", the AOLAP should take the language configured in BI Launch Pad preferences. This works ONLY if the language is EN, if the language still ES this problem still occurring.

3) Is necessary to use EN_en = English (United States), other EN languages like EN_uk = English (United Kingdom) doesn't works as well.

4) This problem occurs in my Productive and Develop environments.

I'm not so confident to install the SP6, because I installed the SP5 to try to solve but didn't solve.

So, experts, I'm considering to reinstall the environments, but this is the last option, because will create a lot of others bureaucratic problems. To do this, is necessary to be very confident that will solve the problem.

Thanks for every help!

Hi,

In my OLAP report I am trying to sort year period field but it is giving wrong output.

Please check below snaps to understand it more.

I had made Year/Period filed Display as key and am trying to sort it in ascending order but unable to sort it. But at backend in BEx I am able to sort it in correct way.

I’m not sure we can create a variable, in OLAP, to strip some characters and get aresult with only MM.YYYY(001.2013).

Regards,

Mithun

Hello,

I have an issue with displaying the data for the prompts for the OLAP worksheet. (Bex query as a source)

In Display Member Selector my prompt values are show in following display mode: Key : Text.

When I have chosen one of the value in the  prompt window there is only value with display mode: Key.

Do you know what settings have to be applied to display text in selection box?

Thank you

Marcin

Good morning,

we have a Business Object BI 4.0 Installation , SP4 Patch 6. Our requirement is to define Analysis OLAP views on SSAS2008 OLAP Connection with SSO authentication mode.

Users can belong to different domains, all in a single forest (example: main domain is MAINDOM.COM, there are IT.MAINDOM.COM, FR.MAINDOM.COM, GER.MAINDOM.COM, etc..).

We configured Active Directory SSO following SAP notes:

• 1631734 - Configuring Active Directory Manual Authentication and SSO for BI4
• 1688079 - Configuring BI4 Analysis Edition for OLAP for End-to-End SSO to MS SQL Server Analysis Services

We did following tests, all with positive results:

• AD Users imported in BO environment using AD Plugin and visible in corresponding groups in CMC;
• AD manual login using thick clients (IDT and Web Intelligence Rich Client);
• KINIT test for users belong to different domains (MAINDOM.COM, IT.MAINDOM.COM, FR.MAINDOM.COM);
• bsclogin.conf test (setting debug=true and verifying tomcat log);
• Credentials obtained during start of Tomcat service ("jcsi.kerberos: ** Credentials obtained");
• SSO (user enter in BI Launch pad without writing username/password) using a client connected with MAINDOM.COM and IT.MAINDOM.COM;
• Access to OLAP application published via IIS (http:\\servername\OLAP\msmdpump.dll) using Excel or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio;
• Analysis OLAP View on a OLAP Connection with "prompt" authentication mode works correctly (user insert username and password while opening a view).

If we try to use a OLAP Connection with SSO, it is not possible to access SSAS cubes. Launching Analysis OLAP application and  selecting the connection, system goes in loop. We found following logs produced by MDAS server:

httpclient.wire.header||<< "WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate[\r][\n]"‑

httpclient.wire.header||<< "WWW-Authenticate: NTLM[\r][\n]"‑

httpclient.wire.header||<< "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="DOM.COM"[\r][\n]"‑

httpclient.wire.content||<< "  <h2>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</h2>[\r][\n]"‑

httpclient.wire.content||<< "  <h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.</h3>[\r][\n]"

...

org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthenticationException: Error establishing Kerberos security context (ODA10067)

...

Caused by: GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Fail to create credential. (63) - No service creds)

...

Caused by: KrbException: Fail to create credential. (63) - No service creds

Few considerations follow:

• Service account used for launching SIA and Tomcat belongs to DOM.COM domain. "BusinessObject Platform" server and "MS SSAS2008" server belong to a subdomain (IT.DOM.COM). I don't know is something could change defining Service Account on the same domain of BOBJ server.
• I think that authentication type should be "Negotiate Kerberos" and not NTLM. It seems that a wrong authentication mode is used;
• "Unauthorized" error should not occur, because the same user can login using Excel or via SS Management Studio (accessing the msmdpump.dll driver)

Could someone give me a hint about this situation? Could we do some other tests to verify the correctness of the configuration?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi,

I have been pretty impressed with how well Analysis has been able to browse and display large cubes. However, I did encounter a MDAS service error when browsing a large cube, in which, I believe has more than 500,000 cells (see screenshot below). Is there a limit on the number of cells that Analysis will browse? In the example below, Analysis was able to browse 447,723 cells before it encountered the following error:

• Runtime error occured : java.lang.IllegalStateException: ResultSet is null, refreshData has not been called

Thank you for your help in advance,

Michael J Titera

Dear Experts,

While opening analysis edition for OLAP from the BI Launchpad we are getting a popup error as "Failed to get connections for connection [<BI Server>] using session locale [English]. The current password is initial. Please change your password in the ABAP backend as well as in your local destination configuration.

Please suggest how to solve this.
