Hi All,

I’m facing issue when i;m promoting dashboard to Dev to Qa. I Need to Change Web service Url Ip address while promoting Dev to Qa as only Web service Url with iP address is Supported on Ipad.

I developed this dashboard for Ipad.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

HI,

SAP Accepted it as bug in SAP BO 4.1 SP5 Solaris version. It works in Windows version of SAP BO 4.1 SP5 Patch5 or S6.

Best Regards,

There are a couple accepted ways to do this.

The simplest but kludgiest is to just change the Web Service URL for each connection. Note that this is not the WSDL URL. Changing the Web Service URL won’t reset anything else in the connection properties.

The preferred method is a little trickier to set up, but has the advantage of making the dashboard respond to the environment and use the appropriate URL. First, note that the Web Service URL parameter has the little icon next to it that lets you map it to a cell. We will do that. That cell should combine the server, the default bits of the URL (e.g., /dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice/), and the CUID for the WSDL. In order to dynamically get the server, you’ll need to pass it from the hosting page into the SWF with a Flash variable.

+1 with a suggestion that unless explicitly passed, the host url will default to production where most of your users will exist. That will mitigate the iPad viewing problems if you can’t pass parameters to the flash variable via hyperlink/text modules or the like.
