Set it up on your Interactive Analysis probe

  1. Connect to the CMC (Central Management Console)
  2. Go to monitoring
  3. Go to the probes tab
  4. Right Click on Interactive Analysis probe and select properties
  5. On the CUID field, copy the CUID of your webi report
  6. Run your probe

Hi Nagaveni,

It is not possible to create a probe to have multiple Webi reports.

You could create a custom Java probe that tests multiple documents at once (but I dont recommend it)

Instead the best way to accomplish this is to create copies of the default Interactive Analysis probe (one per webi doc you want to test)

Refer to the following kb article which tells you how to copy a probe

in BI Platform 4.0

Jawahar mentioned this correctly.

The probe has to be set to check on a particular webi report. The probe does not seem to take multiple CUIDs at a time.

Hi Nagaveni,

Interactive analysis probe is Out of box which you dont need to set up. What you have to do is that

create a watch which refers this probe and set the Danger criteria and then the Notification. Please refer below

Passed property value has to be evaluated for 1 in your case

Agree with Mani. This is to set an alert and notify the user that the job has been running for time as required.

If you want a notification for failed instance, it can be succefully performed in scheduling task itself

Hello Nagaveni,

I would suggest you to send the alerts to BO Inbox first to ensure your Monitoring Alert are getting delivered properly. If it succeeds you should look at your Job Servers configuration as Your alerts to Email recepients are failing.

Please elaborate your requirements.

As per the second update, you required to have a notification available when webi reports fails. To get a failure notification, it would need to be implemented when scheduling task is going to be performed on a webi report.

Go to schedule a report. There would be an option for notification; check the option you would like to use; i.e. ; get notification when schedule is success and notification when shedule fails.

I believe this is the operation you need.

Monitoring will only provide notifications according to the threshold parameters.

It cannot send any notification for webi failing using interactive analysis watch / probe.

I suspect the fail action for a report can be delivered using the CMS watch. Please correct me  for this point. (I haven't tested this myself)

Hello Nagaveni,

You should schedule the watch to run rather than running the probe directly. Please note you will get alert only when the Watch is scheduled or executed. This is because all your Danger range and notification are set at watch level not at probe level.

Moreover have tried to schedule the alert to BI inbox?

Is Email server configured in job servers? Like Domain Name and Host Name.

You can also try if your BO Server can talk to Email Server.

type in command prompt: telnet HostName 25. If you get the response "connection to host lost" or access denied means you cannot send any emails from BO. Otherwise it is good, then you can go setup the Job server destination as "Email" enter the required fields as mentioned above

It looks like the error is in your Danger rule logic.  Try this rule instead:

NODE.InteractiveAnalysis$’passed’!=1

When the probe fails (fails to refresh webi report) it will return 0 and if it works it returns 1.   Therefore you want a danger state if the probe fails.

Hello Manikandan,

Quick question on Interactive Analysis probe.

Lets say I am scheduling probe on a WEBI report runs against SAP BW and needs parameters for it. How does the probe work?

Does it need SAP BW credentials to run?

How does the report pick up the parameter values before running?

Can you please advise. Thank you very much
