Hard to Find CMC Settings Revealed
I imagine that the Business Objects development team had some heated debates about where to put various settings within the CMC application. However, I suspect that when planning out Business Object XI 3.0 and 3.1 some of the decisions were made by a single sleepless product manager with a grudge. I offer the following points as evidence supporting this suspicion. Actually, all joking aside, I am mostly writing this article for my own future reference, because I know I will forget where these selected settings are located.
Set Default Viewer URL
Honestly I wasted hours trying to find this in BO XI 3.1, on two different occasions. There is something about this one that fools my mind into forgetting where it is. This setting is essential to any administrator that uses a distinct web server, a server alias, a load balancer, or any other configuration that would change the URL users use to access the system from what BO thought it to be during installation. This URL is primarily used by BO when it sends out links to documents (using OpenDocument URLs), such as a scheduled job sending an email to users with a link to the refreshed report instance which resides with the Business Objects XI system. When you alter it, you really only want to alter the server and domain name portion.
In XIR2 you can find the “Set Default Viewer URL” setting in:
CMC > Objects > Object Settings > Processing Settings
In XI 3.0 and XI 3.1 you can find the “Set Default Viewer URL” setting in:
CMC > Applications > CMC > Processing Settings
Yes, there is quite a bit of difference in the location of those settings. With practice you may be able to remember both for a few weeks, if you are like me. I suggest bookmarking this page for future reference.
Setting Document Instance Limits
Instances if left unchecked can destroy your system. Seriously, all it takes is a lack of instance limits and a refresh every 5 minutes job. If that doesn’t scare you start thinking about the fact that there is no limiter for inbox instances. By default the scheduled job instance limits are not too bad, but you can make them more restrictive and you probably should before your users get used to your surprisingly generous limits. The only problem you face if finding where to make this setting:
In XIR2 you can find the “Delete excess instances” and “Delete instances after N days” settings in:
CMC > Settings > Limits
In XI 3.0 and XI 3.1 you can find the “Delete excess instances” and “Delete instances after N days” settings in:
CMC > Folders > (right-click top-level folder) > Limits
CMC > Personal Folders > (right-click top-level folder) > Limits
Final Words
If you want to share the location of any settings or configurations that you think are less than obvious please mention them in the comments and I will update the article with them as well to be sure that the search engines index them and help stop others developers from struggling because they can’t find the settings on their own.
BO XI Distributed Environment: The Standalone Java Application Server
When you are building a small sandbox it is great to put everything all in one place and create a Business Objects solution that is a one-stop shop (a.k.a. putting all of your eggs in one basket). This works for lots of small-to-medium sized BO systems, but sometimes you want to do a little more. Sometimes you want some fault-tolerance, high-availability, and/or fault-tolerance. In any of these cases you might decide to build something really cool: a distributed Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.X Environment.
In this article, I would like to talk about putting your Java Web Application Server on a separate dedicated machine. You could chose Apache Tomcat, or your could get a little more crazy and go with Oracle’s WebLogic. Either way, the principles are the same.
Does BO Support Mixed Mode?
Perhaps your BO CMS, job, and reporting servers are all running on Windows machines. Perhaps you are thinking that you would like to run your Java applications on a Linux server. No problem. Business Objects has documented that it is acceptable to mix different Operating Systems in your BO environment as long as all servers running a particular component are of the same Operating System. What does this mean? It means that you would be running in a unsupported mode if you ran one CMS in your cluster on Windows and another CMS in the cluster on Linux. But if you put all of your web applications on Linux you should have no problems getting support and you should not expect any unusual issues. In fact, in my opinion, if your web application servers are not clustered, you could get away with running Apache on one Windows server and WebLogic on a Linux server, since they do not communicate with each other.
How Do I Create a Dedicated BO Web Application Server?
The hardest part is setting up your Java Web Application Server. I won’t help you here, but there is plenty of help out there in the great Internet to guide you in configuring Tomcat or even setting up WebLogic. Once this is setup all that you have to do is copy the WAR files over to the server (or you can even upload them from your client machine using the WebLogic Administration Console). Yes, this is all you have to do for Business Objects XI 3.0 and later.
Don’t I Need to Install BO on the Server?
No, do not believe the documentation. You do not need to install BO on the server as long as you can generate the WAR files from some other server. It is true! The documentation would have you believe that regardless you need to copy over at least the “deployment” folder and a “java” folder, but this is not true. These are ONLY needed if you are needing to run “wdeploy” on the Java Web Application Server. In my case, I can always use a CMS machine to generate my WebLogic and Tomcat WAR files so why would I want to put BO software on another server? If I put some of the BO binaries on my Java Web Application Server then I have to worry about maintaining/patching the software on that server as well. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need more work and more things to forget to do.
Where Do I Get the WAR Files From?
As I said, go look at the CMS machine. Follow the documentation* to help you find the “wdeploy” application (it is a command-line driven application, probably found here > wdeploy weblogic10 predeployall“. You do not need to configure any “config.*” files for your Java Application Server as these are ignored when running with the option “predeployall”. After you run the command successfully, take about 4 to 7 minutes, then you will be told where your WAR files will be located, for example:
What About XI R2, Do I Need to Put BO on the Web App Server?
All java deployments/application except for the “webcompadapter” are standalone applications that require nothing more than a supported JVM to be installed on the Java Web Application Server. The only application that uses the “webcompadapter” is CMC, so if you are intending to provide CMC access through some other method (such as a small unadvertised Tomcat instance installed on a CMS server) then you do not need to install any Business Objects binaries or libraries on the Java Web Application Server. The issue here is that the XIR2 still has some JNI calls in CMC, it was not fully converted from COM to Java and so the “Web Component Adapter” is required by the CMC and it requires that certain binaries of Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 be installed on the server.
————-
* Recommended published BO documentation is the “BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 Web Application Deployment Guide” or if not running Service Pack 2 then use the “Web Application Deployment Guide” for your OS (hint: Unix applies to both Unix and Linux). Of course, the file names will look more like the following: xi3-1_deployconfig_unix_en.pdf or plugin-xi31_sp2_webappd_unix_en.pdf (for example)
Note: I have not played enough with IIS and .NET to know much about deploying the different application there. I am sure the process is quite different, so I would not try to use this article as a guideline for any .NET BO web applications.
New Query Builder Guide Version Published – Includes XI 3.x Updates and Relationship Functions
I have finally completed my nearly 3-month long update to our Query Builder Guide. Like most things I do, the deeper I got into it the more I found that needed work.
What kept me going, and delaying my previously promised delivery time, was the realization that aside from Ted Ueda‘s famous blog entries on Path Queries and Relationship Functions, I was building the only “how-to” guide for those Query Builder and SDK Query functionalities. I dug a little deeper into each one and broke them down into their basic components, making it easy to understand how to use them and to also be able to respect their limits.
I decided that this version of the guide was such a milestone for the guide that I jumped straight paste the 1.1 version and splurged on bestowing it with the 1.2.0 Version. The truth is that the guide itself grew by 50% in file size! Yes, I added that much new textual content!
Click here to order the latest Business Objects XI Query Builder Guide
This new version includes numerous additions to bring the guide current up to Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1. However, for those of you not yet on BO XI 3.x, please take note of something I explain clearly in the guide:
“Query Builder is based on the BOE SDK and both tools in their BO XI 3.1 versions support all of the older methods and syntax used in BO XI R2. In fact, syntax that was labeled as deprecated in XI R2 continues to function even in XI 3.1. It is certain that XI 3.x brought some new functionality, and this guide will distinguish these, but rest assured most of what you can do in Query Builder is applicable to all BO XI releases.”
In fact, BO XI R2 administrators will greatly benefit from the newly added “Relationship Queries” section. This nearly secret functionality take Query Builder to a whole new level.
Future Customers
For the many of you to whom I committed to deliver this BO XI 3.x guide update earlier, I apologize for my tardiness and I sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding. To those of you still on the fence about whether or not to get this guide, I believe I have now packed it with enough value to make your decision a “no-brainer”.

Future Improvements Coming Still
If left in a vacuum I might never publish any updates because I would never feel they are complete. This time is no different. I wanted to include more sample queries for Relationship Queries and Path Queries, but I decided it was better to publish the guide now that those tutorial sections are complete and then publish another version when I have added some additional, wonderful samples of each. As you can see, we are always working to improve this guide.
OK, now I think I will publish this little posting and get on with what is left of my beautiful Saturday afternoon. I hope someone out there appreciates my little sacrifice. 
Possible Recovery from Business Objects Error WIJ77778 and WIJ20003
Business Objects WebI report development is challenging enough already, session timeouts in BO XI R2 are mostly annoyances to the report developer, often causing the developer to lose work and time (and money of course). I have found a few ways to recover from a couple errors some of the time. These tips have saved me from losing hours of work (cumulative) in the past.
The eternal busy/hourglass in Java Report Panel?
Have you ever been working on some tedious report-level variables or alerters and found that suddenly your WebI Java Report Panel session cannot validate your variables? I mean it just sits there with a seemingly eternal busy or hourglass icon. When this happens to me the first thing I do is to stop the validator by pressing the escape button, “esc”, on my keyboard. This usually returns me to my unvalidated formula. Then I proceed to “Step 2″ (see below).
Your Web Intelligence session has timed out. Log out and log in again to InfoView. (Error: WIJ 77778)
The Variable Editor won’t do anything with my variable!
Or depending on if you are working in the variable editor the screen might just flash teh screen and “ding” at you without doing anything more when you try to validate the formula or save changes to it. If this occurs to you STOP and immediately proceed to “Step 2″.
The Formerly Dreaded WIJ 20003 Error
I used to beat on the things around my desk or my own forehead every time I receive the WIJ 20003 error. In the past, most efforts to overcome this led to me closing my Java Report Panel window and losing me work. Lately, I have not run into one of these errors form which I could not safely recover. Much of the instances of this error that I receive seem to be related to a timer that can easily be reset at the InfoView level with a… wait, proceed to “Step 2″.
Unable to retrieve the first page of the current report. Check the report for errors or contact your Database administrator. The report panel will switch to Structure View. (Error: WIJ 20003)
Have you ever thought your save was successful only to find nothing was saved?
This is one of the worst consequences of a partially timed-out session. This happened about once every few weeks for a while. Now, I think I have been able to avoid it by carefully checking my session by trying to validate a variable or cell contents and then if any issue is detected proceeding straight to “Step 2″.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A knowledgeable SAP-BO engineer once told me that clicking the “Save” button is not the first thing I should do if I suspect that my session is timed out. He suggested trying to validate a variable or the contents of a cell first, or modify the format of the report and display the results even. Then click the “Save” button. From this and some observations it seems that the “Save” button in many version of Business Objects XI Web Intelligence does not reset all session timeouts and can therefore appear to work without any error. I always keep my eye on the lower left-hand corner of my Java Report Panel window and look for the flashing “Saving document” message. I suggest you do too.
Step 2: Resetting Non-Java Report Panel Timeouts
As we have discussed in previous articles there are many many different timeout timers working against the Business Objects report developer. Not all of these timeouts are reset by most or any of the actions taken in the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel. Even regular saving may not spare you from timing out in other ways that have nothing to do with your refined report editing work practices.
Due to these often inevitable timeouts experienced during long report editing sessions, a very good practice is to do the following:
- Always use the “View my documents…” setting of “fullscreen browser window”, it is under preferences. There are actually two options and I believe that I am a power user and as such I prefer to use the “in multiple fullscreen browser windows, one window for each document” option. If you don’t use one of these “fullscreen” options then you will not be able to try this trick and you are probably working less efficiently than you would otherwise.
- Go back to the original InfoView browser window. Click on something here. I usually click on the folder that I am already logged in to. This will get all of your other session timers reset.
- Now return to your Java Report Panel session and re-attempt the action that you did not previously complete with any high level of confidence, such as variable validation. After this completes then save your report, or save a version with “Save As”.
Preventing BO WIJ77778 and WIJ20003
We all know by now that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This remains true in Business Objects land too. So how can you prevent these errors:
- Follow “Step 2″ as detailed above. Set a timer to remind you to do this occasionally.
- If your connection to the web server is spotty/iffy/dodgy/unreliable (such as through remote network access) then always execute “Step 2″ as quickly as possible following any confirmed or suspected connection interruption once the connection is confirmed to be restored. This will in many cases allow you to return to your Java Report Panel session and save your work.
- Save often and version your saves, use “Save As”.
Can I Connect/Use Oracle 11g Database with Business Objects XI?
The answer is “Yes”, but it depends on which version of BOXI you are running.
Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
Any version of BOXI R2 equal to or greater than Business Objects XI R2 Service Pack 5 includes an Oracle 11g driver. However, if you find your instance is still lurking below SP5 you are not without hope. According to Oracle, 10g drivers can successfully be used to connect to Oracle 11g databases. Business Objects does not support using R2 SP4, or lower, to connect to and Oracle 11g database, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t do it. It only means they won’t take any “Customer Messages” on any issues related to such connections, unless the issues can be recreated on database supported for your BO XI service pack level.
Be sure to check your service pack’s “Support Platforms” for the particular supported implementation of Oracle 11g middleware. For example, XI 3.1 SP2 states clearly for Linux/Unix machines running CMS you must install Oracle 10.2 middleware to connect to your Oracle 11.1 database. 
Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.X
Starting with Business Objects XI Release 3.1 Business Objects has included an Oracle 11g driver. Now if you are on XI 3.0 and you can’t jump to 3.1 just yet, you might want to borrow a trick from Administrator’s of XIR2 systems lower than XI R2 SP5 and use an Oracle 10g driver to connect to that cutting edge 11g database. Just don’t expect BO to support you on that venture.
Business Objects Classic Logging and Standard Tracing
If you have ever had a serious issue with your Business Objects environment that wasn’t easily fixed by a service pack, fix pack, or limited availability fix then you probably have had to enable logging on some or even all of your BusinessObjects servers. This is also frequently referred to as “tracing”. I’d like to discuss this briefly, but I want to say up-front that this article is not intended to replace any instructions you receive from SAP BO. Hopefully, it will just confirm information you receive from them, give you something to experiment with, or even prompt some deeper discussion between you and your BO Support engineer.
-Trace, or Dash Trace
I believe that -Trace is new to BO with the roll-out of BOXI, or Business Objects XI. My sources say that it comes from the “Crystal” technology and their for it has its own features and limitations. For this reason it may be especially useful on a BO WebI Report Server server with a particular issue, but on a different environment with a different Web Intelligence Report Server problem it may be useless. In my experience “-trace” can drastically impact performance depending on usage of the BO server and the limiters placed on the “-trace“.
It is called “-trace” because that is the name of the parameter that is used in the BO server’s command line to enable the tracing or logging. By the way, the command line parameters of BO servers/services are edited through CCM on the server. The parameter itself accepts no settings, but I believe that additional parameters can place configurations and limits on the trace logging (for example, “-maxlogfilesize“).
All of the tracing log files will be placed in the “\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Logging” directory. So this can be a problem if the hard drive to which BO is installed does not have much room on it. It seems that by default BO servers are always doing some light tracing/logging to this folder. Once you begin “-trace” logging, you should see a huge spike in the file sizes and the file names should correspond to their servers more or less.
Business Objects Classic Logging, BO Classic Logging
Although BO was migrated to the Crystal platform we know that some fundamentals and tools remained virtually unchanged (for example Designer). Apparently under the hood there are still some things that can only be examined with what is now called “BO Classic Logging”. Apparently this is usually only for servers such as WebI Report Servers.
BO Classic Trace Logging is enabled through a collection of manual configurations on the server. The settings below are representative of possible settings, an example. If you are testing this out you could use these settings, but I would not place them in your “production” environment without consulting BO or some additional authority.
Create the following environment variables on the server:
- BO_TRACE_CONFIGFILE
Set this variable equal to the complete path to a file on your server, such asC:\Logs\BO_Trace.ini - BO_TRACE_LOGDIR
Set this variable equal to the complete path to a folder on your server, such asC:\Logs
Create the following environment variables on the server:
- Create a file named “BO_Trace.ini”. I think it can have any name that corresponds to the environment variable value and it must be placed in the location specified by the environment vairable value as well.
- In the file place the following code:
if (name == "busobj") {
active = true;
size = 100 * 1000;
keep = true;
importance = xs;
}
With either flavor of tracing or logging you will need to stop and start the affected BO servers in order to have the tracing take effect. In fact, to “-trace” logging you will need to stop the service first to make the command line parameter addition. You will need to monitor disk space constantly so that this doesn’t bring down your Business Objects environment. Since these are text files, the files compress rather well. Expect many similar sized files that have the start time/date stamp in the file name. Keep in mind that these will be on the server’s timezone and a file dated in the file name as Jan 19th can easily have data for Jan 19th, 20th, and 21st depending on your environment’s activity.
Note: Watch the sub-directory that is created with the name “wicdztrace”. This directory fills up with lots and lots of small files. They are a mess and will need to me deleted often.
Conclusions
Remember, now you know enough to be dangerous. I can’t support you if you crash your system with this. Test it out and engage BO and demand that they help you configure your logging to meet their needs and yours.
Business Objects XIR2 SP4 Bug: Schedules Pending, Job Server Scheduling Dead
Breaking News
I have some breaking news, a scoop perhaps, on a new bug that may only impact some (not all) innocent Business Objects XIR2 SP4 shops. Apparently, my contacts tell me that within the last week, Business Objects has internally identified and even resolved a bug that can wreak havoc on the unknowing BO XIR2 users out there who make the leap to Service Pack 4 (SP4).
Symptoms of the Bug: All Schedules Pending
It seems that the bug causes a loss of communication between the BO XIR2 CMS server(s) and the job server(s). The strange part is that the only detectable error or problem is that suddenly no scheduled jobs process; they all go to an eternal “Pending” status. Every Job Server’s scheduling function ceases to function. Even stranger is that fact that this bug does not effect all Business Objects XIR2 SP4 installations. Some experience the issue and others do not. Some assume that the SP4 install may have changed their configuration or their security and caused the issue; however, it seems that all settings stayed unchanged (good!), but the job servers just ceased to do their job (very bad!).
No Fix Until Fix Pack 4.5
BO just released Fix Pack 4.3 for SP4 and the fix to this issue was not included. My resources tell me that it is planned for inclusion in BO XIR2 Fix Pack 4.5. I am not certain what the due date is for FP4.5, but I would imagine that is not going to be available until after Columbus Day and probably not until after Halloween.
Rethink Your Planned BO XIR2 SP4 Upgrade
If you are thinking about installing SP4 on your Business Objects XIR2 system I would encourage you to rethink this plan. Could your users accept the new functionality of completely disabled scheduling? I doubt it. Of course, there may be fixes to other functionality in the SP4 upgrade for which you cannot wait. If this is true then you might want to test out the fixed DLL on a test environment. Yes, BusinessObjects has already corrected the issue and released a Limited Availability patch. I have managed to get my hands on the patch info and the patch that BO’s product development group has developed.
Download the BO XIR2 SP4 XIR2.LAFix4.3.3 patch directly from Business Objects
Get the Fix for the BO XIR2 SP4 Bug
On September 24th, BO released a Limited Availability patch. In truth the fix is still considered a “beta” fix and so it comes with the standard disclaimer. Basically the LA Fix hasn’t been through full regression testing and it may inadvertently introduce other issues. BO Customer Assurance still needs to confirm the issue is fixed by this patch.” That is a pretty big disclaimer, but it is the standard one on such “hot-off-the-press” fixes. If you need this fix then test it yourself.
Regardless, I recommend that you immediately contact your BusinessObjects Account Rep and/or BO Support. The more attention this issue gets the more likely it will be officially fixed sooner.
Download the BO XIR2 SP4 XIR2.LAFix4.3.3 patch directly from Business Objects
My disclaimer: I provide no guarantees or warranties with this patch, just take it as it is. I tested it and it seems to be fine. Others have claimed that it corrected their issue. That is all I can tell you. Good luck. Oh and one last thing… PLEASE backup your SchedulerSubsystem.dll before you install the patch!
Solving Business Objects XI R2 CMS Security Viewer’s Crashes
Business Objects XI R2 CMS Security Viewer is a useful administrative tool provided freely by Business Objects. It allows one to analyze your security models without having to actually alter user group membership or login as different users. The tool should not be need in Business Objects XI Release 3.0; however, it can be very useful in BO XIR2. We are still figuring out all of the uses for this tool since we recently got it up and running on our system after we got our hands on a functioning version.
Business Objects XIR2 CMS Security Viewer 2.1 Doesn’t Work
At the writing of this article, I believe that Security Viewer 2.1 is the latest version of this tool. However, we like so many others found that this tool crashed immediately, just as soon as the application opened. Through some research, testing, and BO-Support feedback it appears that BO XI R2 CMS Security Viewer 2.1 does not function with BO clusters which have installed the Productivity Pack. Apparently this little bug was planned for correction in Fix Pack 3.7, but I haven’t yet confirmed this rumor became reality.
Give BO Security Viewer a Try
The simple solution for most teams is to just use the 2.0 base version of BO Security Viewer. This version does not have any problems with the productivity pack. HOWEVER, obtaining a copy of BusinessObjects Security Viewer 2.0 can prove to be quite challenging as it seems that Business Objects does not distribute copies of previous versions on their website.
UPDATE – Business Objects Security Viewer 2.2 Available
I just added Security Viewer 2.2 to our server so you can download it from their directly. I hope I don’t upset the powers that be at SAP Business Objects. I had to navigate a lot through the SAP Support Portal web site to find the download so I thought I might save all of you just a little bit of time. Here is the link:
Business Objects XI R2 Security Viewer 2.2
Download BO Security Viewer 2.0
However, since I still have a copy BO Security Viewer 2.0, I feel obligated to share it with those who might stand in need of it. I haven’t altered the *.msi installation package in anyway, except to zip it up so as to prevent some recipients from unintentionally trying to install it directly from my web server. Believe me, just download the 10 MB zip file, extract it, and install.

A Hint on the JAVA_HOME Environment Variable
You may need to configure a JAVA_HOME path variable by setting creating one through Start > Control Panel > Settings > Advanced > Environment Variables, please see screenshot for an idea.
Business Objects Enterprise: Java or .NET?
There are a lot of factors that will come into play in deciding how to deploy your Business Objects XI R2 application, that is to say in the decision whether to deploy InfoView in the Java (Apache Tomcat, WebLogic) or .NET (IIS) flavor. There will be many reasons such as available skillsets, technical familiarity, web server restrictions, etc. However, there may be one factor you are not considering… future functionality support!
Another Win for Java
At one point in time Business Objects, the company that is, announced that they would maintain all future released functionality of Business Objects XI in both the .NET and the Java flavor. However, sometime in 2007 it appears that BusinessObjects went back on this commitment. Probably due to the less-than-booming economy BO was faced to make a difficult choice and because of the overwhelming popularity of Java among BO’s customers, the decision was made to focus all of the product roadmap’s enhancements first on Java.
BO’s Stepchild: .NET and IIS
Therefore I suggest you consider this point carefully when making a decision to deploy InfoView on .NET. If you choose to do so you are ignoring the fact that Business Objects is playing favorites. If you select .NET you are selecting the stepchild. Don’t expect enhancements and fixes to be as readily available for your .NET platform as they are and will be for Java. You don’t believe me? Well go ahead and try to install Business Objects XI 3.0 on IIS and .NET. Not going to happen, at least supposedly not until sometime in the second half on 2008. That’s my point and it is just the beginning.
Business Objects XI R2 Java AND .NET?
With Business Objects XI R2 it is possible to actually run both platforms at the same time on IIS and Apache Tomcat, although most BO administrators would probably want to avoid this. However, if you require and SDK interface and you have no Java developers then do you really have a choice? Honestly, many BO administrators are doing this with BOXI R2 and so I would not want to discourage you if you have no other choice.
In the end this is your decision. We just want to be sure that you have this little bit of extra input. We would hate to hear of anyone else having to spend hundreds of person hours moving from the .NET platform to the Java platform because they didn’t know what they were getting in to. Its not that much work to switch you say? The rework can range from SDK rewrites to OpenDocument.aspx updates across every single report that uses OpenDocument. Make your choice wisely, what more can we say?
