After building report from rich client have you placed the same file at BO server? or you have added the file in BI Lanuch pad from Local document?

did you see the excel as source option while creating new report after setting up applet mode in preference ?

As you have used a CSV file from your local desktop, the BO server is not able to locate the path and hence the Refresh option is disabled.

You need to place the CSV file at a share location where you and BO server both have read and write access. And on this CSV file you need to create a report and then export the report to BI Launchpad.

Thanks,

If you developed report from Rich client then CSV takes the path from your local machine.in this case you need to place the csv file at BO server on same location.

If you have uploaded the CSV file in Local document then create new report from BI Launch Pad.

Set your prefrence->Web Inteillgence->Modify>Applet and create new report.
