Comments on: BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Features http://neverknewthat.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/businessobjects-xi-31-features/ Things I've learned while working at Business Objects Tue, 08 Dec 2009 07:41:27 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: dtaylor92 http://neverknewthat.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/businessobjects-xi-31-features/#comment-440 dtaylor92 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:08:53 +0000 http://neverknewthat.wordpress.com/?p=166#comment-440 We don't currently support single-pass bursting in BO XI 3.1 against BW. Originally there were plans to automatically create profiles based on ROLE information defined within SAP, but in the end the feature was pulled. If you want to leverage SAP security the best way is to run multi-pass bursting. In extremely simplistic environments it's possible to still use profiles; however I would not recommend it.

The problem is that the entire row level security is defined at BW level in this case, so I do not know how do the profile work in this scenario. Thanks, Sunshine Hi dtaylor92,

Unfortunately there was no documentation that was provided. I am in the middle of creating a development environment (using the same licenses that are in production) but I am getting the error message "Account Information Not Recognized: The Active Directory Authentication plugin could not authenticate at this time. Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact your technical support department. (FWM 00005). Would you be able to provide me some guidance or document on how to resolve the issue? I tried every possible way to fix it, using a step by step instructions from SAP and Administration Manual - no solution at this time. Hi Kevin,

It's built with Tomcat and I use Windows AD authentification with SSO. It works great! It took me a while to figure out the SSO with the Kerboros authentification because the documentation was missing some things. But all my Universe rights, folders rights, authentification, etc... works perfect. I am at the point to upgrade to 3.1. A couple questions. 1) Following the doc, I ran the Import Wizard and backed everything up. I'm going to uninstall 3.0 now and then install 3.1. Does this backup actually backup all the Tomcat settings for single sign on or am I going to have to set that up manually again? 2) Tomcat vs WACS??? Opinons?? 3) Could I convert to WACS from Tomcat without to much of a headache?? Is this documented anywhere?? Thank you for your time and answers!

Sorry for such a late reply. i have used the openDoc.jsp to call a report from a URL and inetgrated the result in the aplication as a separate frmae with the same browser window. It is still developed in a test application but I hope it will work fine within the live application too. Thanks for all the comments guys. This is a very informative and helpful forum. Many Thanks.
