@izak004

I have the ‘BOXI UserListV4’ version of the utility

Where did you get the version 4 of the utility? I can’t find it now. :?

The link to V4 is in the first post of this topic,

History:
V4 (07/03/2008) - To be download here : http://sidoine.org/node/58 (Just changed alittle property in Excel selection ; when you copy-past a value for more than one user ; all the users will be flagged for update (and not just one like previous version)).

I tried with V3, and I have the same problem, not able to understand where to edit it

…and when I open it, press ALT+F11, it opens VB for applications with one window with the following code…

Close that window (not the whole VBA editor). Then in the left panel you should see “Forms” folder. Open it and then right click on the fLogin form and select view code. This is the code where you need to replace secEnterprise with secWinAD.

I think somethings wrong with passing the credentials to WinAD.

I logged in with my credentials, the utility tried to validate it and errors out.

"Active Directory Authentication failed to get Active Directory groups for the account with the ID CN:AMA455, OU=USERS, OU=Mis, OU=Accounts " etc.

AMA455 is not my ID and I checked in our users, it seems to be an invalid user. There was a user with this ID and shes not with us anymore.
Wondering why it is trying to authenticate her when I’m providing my credentials.

Same error with V3 and V4 as well

Any idea?

I don’t know what it could be.

I’ve just tried the modified utility with WIN AD authentication in my environment and it worked just fine.

Maybe something wrong with your WIN AD?

Figured it out.

Something was wrong with the User and it was not associated with any group, folder etc. I deleted the user account and it works fine.

The query is running for 9 minutes and I get a time out error now, “CMS Operations timed out after 9 minutes”

Now I need to increase the CMS thread time out to more than 9 minutes as described in another post

120×120 10.4 KB

Through a custom application I am querying a lot of objects in the CMS repository and I have recently started to receive this error: CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes. If I reduce the amount of objects that I am querying it works fine. I do not want to change my query, so is there a way to increase the time out from CMS?

Did you ever get this working? I just upgraded to Win7, Office 2010 and now get the same error. My Libraries are all 12.0.

Hoping someone can post back with a solution.

@sk_sadiq

Hi,

I am getting the following error when using this utility.

Run-time error ‘-2147417848 (80010108)’:

Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

Please suggest.

Dear all,
I usually use the file BOBI4_UserList_V001.xls in order to extract licences but this year, we changed our laptop (Windows 7 to Windows 10) and it doesn’t work anymore, error message : “Erreur de compilation, projet ou bibliothèque introuvable” and it stops on “DimSessionManager, Sess As SessionMgr”. Does anyone have an idea about what can occur ? Thank you for your help.

HI @Valerie!

13 years later and this little piece of software is still used, it’s amazing ! It rely on BOBJ SDK. Do you have a BOBJ client install (with SDK) on your laptop ?

I don’t have anymore Excel to debug / fix the product (cloud is eating local apps). I am actively thinking on how to share such tools without relying on Excel or heavy BOBJ SDK. Stay tuned !

[Valerie]

Thank you for your answer Julien. It was a very nice but unfortunately it seems that Windows 1O doesn’t like it.
We use BusinessObjects BI 4.2 Support Pack 3 Patch 6 CMC.
Can this give you information?
Thank you so much for your help.

I am working to recreate such feature via today’s technology. Give me a day or two

Your MS Office is 64 or 32 bit version?

Hi @Valerie

I am not able to work again with Excel macro. But I have tested this option, build an equivalent webapp:

http://tools.bobj-board.org/

It’s the same output but it consume directly the REST api of BOBJ. It may work on all BI4.2 setups. Can you give a test ?

Here is a screenshot:

DimSessionManager, Sess As SessionMgr

you have to firs reference some libraries of your BI4 client which has to be installed on the same box as excel

• Designer.tlb
• EnterpriseFramework.dll
• InfoStor.dll
• PluginManager.dll
• User.dll
• UserGroup.dll
