Error importing from BIAR file(BO XI R 3.1)

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

We are using Import wizard to deploy updated universe and reports from Dev to testing and production environment.

I imported universe and reports to BIAR file in Development. But when I am trying to deploy the universe and reports to testing environment where the source will be BIAR file and destination is testing environment. IW is throwing an error :

" Failed to open the BIAR file. Reason: com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.om.internal.iw.ObjectManagerIWException:required dependencies not found target system : '[AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4]' "

I saved the BIAR in zip and opened the file. I could see the XML file.

Please let me how to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Naveen

This ID is related to "Access Levels" in CMC

The user group of the user that is trying to do the import/transport must have at least a "View" permission in "Access Level" -> "top level security" in the Target System

Hi james,

Customer got the same issue what Mr.NR had.

Can you please explain.. what happens if we run the query u stated in above posts related to CUID?

I mean, what can we know with that result?

Customer deleted that particular CUID

We let the customer to import a folder with a report to a BIAR file in Prod env. From Dev Env, we are trying to export it to Test Env. The same Error appears.

Dev and Test Env are on 3.1 same levels. Enterprise Auth.

What happens if Test Env contains LDAP Auth?

Waiting for your reply...

Thank you in advance!

I would suggest to first create a BIAR file with just 1 report or universe to verify that there is not something else causing the error. Then create multiple BIAR files and add extra content to each. So first reports, then universes and reports, then connections, unverses and reports, etc. This might give you an indication which kind of object is causing the BIAR import to fail. Then you can narrow down further to find the root cause...And open up an SAP ticket. Perhaps they can provide you with a trace on the Import Wizard. Is there anything created in the log file by the way?

Hope this helps...

You need to find out what that CUID from error message is - this will narrow the search down and allow you to resolve this issue.

HI

select SI_NAME, SI_ID,SI_CUID from ci_systemobjects where SI_CUID LIKE 'AY%Dso'

SI_NAME: Custom Roles

SI_ID : 57

SI_CUID :AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4

or is the problem?

Thank you in advance!

[denis_konovalov]

You need to find out what 'AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4' is.

Run following query in Query Builder, acessible from http://yourappserver:port/AdminTools

select SI_NAME SI_ID from ci_infoobjects where SI_CUID = 'AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4'

you might try ci_appobject or ci_infoobjects .

Also, what exact choices have you made while exporting and when importing ?

Hello Denis,

I am choosing the following options.

Source : Dev CMS name, I am logging in LDAP Authentication

Destination : BIAR file

Select Objects to import : I am choosing folders and objects, Universe and repository objects

Folders and Objects : I selected the report which I had modified in Dev

Import options for Universe and connections: I chose "Import universe and connections that the selected DESKi report uses directly" and also I chose "Keep universe overloads for imported users and groups"

Universe folders and Universes : i chose the universe that I updated in Dev.

Import options for Publications : I chose "Import recipients used by selected publication"(Even if i select the other option "do no import recipients" I get the same error as i have given in previous message)

While importing from BIAR file to testing environment :

I selected BIAR fileas source and Testing environment as destination. When I click next I get the below mentioned error.

Failed to open the BIAR file. Reason: com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.om.internal.iw.ObjectManagerIWException:required dependencies not found target system : '[AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4]'

My guess it has something to do with LDAP authentication in destination.

[Former Member]

- Denis,

I am thinking it should not be the issue with LDAP authentication, because if it was the issues with LDAP authentication, IW would have thrown an error at the beginning itself before I exported the contents from Dev to BIAR. It would have not created the BIAR file.

[denis_konovalov]

There is no problem with LDAp in your source, that's why export worked, but there is a problem in destination, that's why import is not working.

Did you setup LDAP in destination ?

Did you mapped LDAP groups in destination or imported them from source ?

Did you use same user ID you used to create biar to import it ?

Run those query builder queries, see what object has this CUID , which is shown in the error.

Denis,

I chose destination as Dev just to test if it is working, I mean to say First I exported the contents from Dev to BIAR and Later just to test I gave source = BIAR and destination = Dev environment itself. Even then it is giving me the same error.

And also I executed the query that you specified "select SI_NAME, SI_ID from ci_infoobjects where SI_CUID = 'AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4' ". It returned No. of Infoobjects returned = 0

I am new to Query builder so I do not have much idea to do more research on this in querybuilder.

And I have 1 more question, Do we need to use same user id to create BIAR and also to import the contents to from BIAR to another environment?

Thanks,

Naveen

And also I will not be given Enterprise User account. I have to use LDAP account set by my admin. He said he has given all the admin rights on my LDAP account and the rights to edit and/or delete all objects.

Please let me know if this is an issue?

[denis_konovalov]

try : select SI_NAME SI_ID from ci_appobjects where SI_CUID = 'AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4'

and

select SI_NAME SI_ID from ci_systemobjects where SI_CUID = 'AQxIJpjkbaRBrhcMvtnHAT4'

LDAP user should be alright, unless we have a bug.

[Former Member]

It did not return any info objects for the above 2 queries as well.

Number of InfoObjects returned : 0

[Former Member]

When I am exporting the contents to BIAR file the option "Import Custom Access level" is grayed out. I am not able to uncheck this option. Any idea if this is causing the issue?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm running into something similar. The error seems to indicate that an objects exists in the BIAR file that doesn't exist in the CMS, so running the query should return no match - right? If you look through the xml file from the BIAR (saved as .zip), you might find something referencing the ID from the error message, and it might give some clarification about the obstacle. At least that's the way I'm approaching it. I'll let you know if it works!
