OpenDocument.properties in 4.1 SP5

[AndrewBaines]

Anyone else having problems setting the custom properties for OpenDocument? I'm making the dropdown visible and changing the default to secWinAD.

Works in 4.0, fails in 4.1. I've even tried using wdeploy.

Have the settings changed in SP5, or is this a bug?

Pavan, thanks for the link, but I know how it's supposed to work - that's why I've got it working in CS2011.

Again - has anyone got a CS2013 or SAP BI 4.1 install on SP5 with this working?

Hello Andrew,

worked out for me. I am on SAP BI 4.1 SP5 running on SLES 11.3.

I edited the OpenDocument.properties as your requirements in "<BO_INSTALL_DIR>/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/warfiles/webapps/BOE/WEB-INF/config/custom" afterwards copied it to "<BO_INSTALL_DIR>/sap_bobj/tomcat/webapps/BOE/WEB-INF/config/custom".

Did a restart of the Tomcat and all good! So its not a Bug. I would suggest you try the following:

1. Use a different Browser such as Firefox

2. Clear the Browser and JRE Cache

3. Check the OpenDocument.properties File for any typo

4. redeploy your WebApps using wdeploy

Regards

Thanks for testing that. I wonder if it's a problem with Crystal Server's install media as I've tried all the other options already.

I'll see if I can copy the SAP BI 4.1 Tomcat files across.

FOUND IT - Stupid mistake!

The default url to Opendocument uses port 6405 and connects to WACS. I was changing the properties file in Tiomcat on 8080. Changed the default url, all is fine.

Hello,

whats the problem? Is the Authentication drop down still invisible? If yes try the following:

1. Delete your Browser Cache

2. Stop Tomcat -> Delete the "localhost" folder from "<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\tomcat\work\Catalina" -> Start Tomcat -Y Wait about 15 min. and retry
