WEBI

Your quick response is appreciated in advance.

I am using Webi 2.03 and BO 4.1.3 (both are installed on the server)

When I send a report from BO to Webi (to the repository or to myself as a user)

I can open it and view it. But when I try to refresh it, I get a message, “Can’t bind to report server” (Retrieve by function import report).

The reports that I build in WEBI I can refresh it with our a problem.

Any suggestion…?

Hi,

I have just started using Webi, and have few very basic questions:

What are the limitations/drawback of creating reports in full client and publishing them to the webi?

Can we apply templates to the webi created reports? How?

Thanks for your help.

Harpreet,

Full client reports work great in Webi, with the exception of drill down. Webi will only drill down on Webi reports, not full client reports. If you need drill down in Webi, you need to create the report in Webi. Of course, then you only get 1 query and 1 block per report. It’s a toss up.

I want to apply standard templates, i.e if we create reports in full client we
are prompted if we want to use a template( cross tab, table, or company template
with logo…), can we apply those template here also.

Thanks

You cannot apply a template in WebI. You can apply the template in full client and publish it to WebI. Perhaps there is a way using the SDK to call a scipt that does this, but it is not in the standard product.

//Crsibo/wi should do it. The “wi” gets mapped based on the virtual directories set up in the web server (IIS or otherwise).

Try http://Crsibo/wi – assuming your web server is called Crsibo. This should be automatically set up for you when you install Webi, as long as you did not have any problems during the installation process.

Technically, you should use http://Crsibo/wi/ . The ending slash tells the web server to look for a default page (index.html) in the wi directory. Without the slash, you are asking for a file called “wi”. Most of the time, webservers will simply tell the browser to resubmit the request with an ending slash so the person who typed the url never realizes the error.

However, if you are in an extranet environment and use port mappings as part of a load balancing strategy, you can run into scenarios where asking for http://crispo/wi does not work, but http://crispo/wi/ does.

This cost me and a team of sys admins about 3 hours of research last week when one of my pilot extranet users ran into this problem!
