Web Application Designer - cannot execute template in browser

[RogerTaylor]

Hi,

I have a problem executing any template created via the WAD in the browser.... nothing happens. When I copy the URL to the clipboard and paste that in the browser, it appears as odd characters (eg. x ì ). This only happens on my laptop. My desktop works fine.

Both are running the same version of the WAD (3500.3.323).

A similiar problem occurs in the Bex Analyser. On my laptop, when I create a query, as soon as I choose the infoprovider, it has a problem displaying the key figures and dimensions (it display nothing) and the name at the top appears as odd characters again (eg. x ìx ìx ì).

As this works fine on my desktop, I would assume that it is something specific to my laptop.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Roger

ps. Some details: both deskstop and laptop running XP Professional (SP2). Connecting to a BW3.5 system. Laptop is connected via a wireless network.

Try connecting with the IP address. Also, ensure that within Internet Explorer, the website you are connecting to is in your "trusted zones". When in doubt, try Mozilla Firefox and turn on the javascript console.

Hi,

Thanks for this. I tried calling the web address manually from within the browser and it worked fine but does not work from within the Web Application Designer.

So, I have wiped my laptop, reinstalled everything and it all works fine now.

Cheers,

Roger
