Hi Guru,

Here is my scenario, I logged in as Administrator in the Infoview and planned create webi document on the available exported universe. I didn't find any option over there not only for webi even for the Deski, Crystal etc..

By searching some thread, Again tired by applying the security right as follows

BOE ( CMC ) >> Applications >> Webi >> Right Click " Check User Rights " >> Select User/group >> rights have been Inherited/ Explicitly >> create New Document.

One more thing just found in Infoview preferences, I didn't found options for Webi where I can find for Deski,Crystal, Voyager, Password Changes etc.....

Finally, I tried logging into Webi Rich client >> Error shows " License not valid " >>> Do we need to have a separate license for Webi ....

Please help me out

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

By default an administrator has full rights to everything in Business Objects XI 3.1, and like I said before it's most likely not a security issue.

Please try the folllowing:

- Log in to the CMC

- Click on "Licence Keys" (at the bottom right hand side of the screen)

- Write down the license key on a piece of paper.

- Delete the license key

- Re-add the same license key you wrote down on paper.

After this is done have a look at the following information:

- How many named users have you got

- How many conncurrent users have you got?

- When does the license expire?

Try again to access web intelligence...

If it still doesn't work you should request a new temporary license key from the SAP service Market Place

After doing a lot of research on the security part. Looks like security is good and no issues on the Security at all.

Just found an interesting thing, when I went to license keys in the CMC >>> shows "BusinessObjects Enterprise OEM Version License Key Information ">>>

Will there be any limited license restrictions on the OEM version , I am just wondering why can't I create a Webi. Deski document in Infoview.

If we need separate license for webi on the OEM version then how many can we order ( based on users or Developers ) ???

Should we contact OEM partner or SAP directly ???

Please guide me ...... thanks lot..

Since you are logged on as an administrator it's very unlikely that the issue is related to security.

Did you try to remove and re-enter the license key? if yes, what happened?

What happens when you replace your existing license key with a temporary key?

Hi

I just followed this steps... but does not helped on this...

Logon to Central Management Console (CMC) using Enterprise Administrator account.

Click on 'Folders' under Organize.

Select Manage >> Top_Level Security >> All Folders.

If a Windows prompt occurs showing 'You have chosen to set Security for the Top-Level Folder', click on Ok.

Click on 'Add Principals'.

Select the User / Group from 'Available users/groups' who is to unable to create the Web Intelligence document and move it under 'Selected users/groups'.

Click on 'Add and Assign Security' button.

Uncheck the option to Inherit rights from Parent Folder and Parent Group.

Click on 'Advanced' tab and then click on Add/Remove Rights.

Grant the General Rights to the User / Group as per the requirement.

Expand 'Content' option on the left pane.

Select 'Web Intelligence Report' and grant the following rights:

12.1 Download files associated with the object

12.2 Edit Query

12.3 Export the report's data

12.4 Refresh List of Values

12.5 Refresh the report's data

General rights related to the Web Intelligence can also be overridden here.

Click on Apply and then OK.

Click on Apply and then OK on 'Assign Security' and close the User Security for Root Folder.

Navigate to CMC Home >> Universes.

Depending on the requirement, rights can be provided at the Universe level or Folder level.

Repeat Step 5 through Step 10 to add and assign general security for the User(s) / Group(s).

If the security is provided for Folder(s), under Add / Remove rights, Folder rights can be selected from the 'General Rights for Folder' menu.

If the Security is provided for the Universe(s), under Add / Remove rights, following optional rights can be selected:

20.1 Create and Edit Queries Based on Universe

20.2 Data Access

20.3 Edit Access Restrictions

20.4 New List of Values

20.5 Print Universe

Click on Apply and then OK.

Click on Apply and then OK on 'Assign Security' and close the 'User Security for the Root Folder'.

Navigate to CMC Home >> Connections.

Depending on the requirement, rights can either be assigned as the 'Top Level Security' for 'All connections' or providing 'User Security' for the specific connection.

Repeat Step 5 through Step 10 to add and assign General Security for the User(s) / Group(s).

25.1 Data Access

25.2 Use connection for Stored Procedures

Click on Apply and then OK.

Click Apply and then OK on 'Assign Security' and then close the 'User Security' for the connection.

If the user still fails to create a Web Intelligence Report, navigate to CMC Home >> Applications >> Web Intelligence.

Under 'User Security', 'Add Principal(s) and select 'Assign Security'.

Provide the General Rights as per the requirement.

Expand 'Application' on left pane and assign security to the User / Group as required.

Logon to Infoview and create a new Web Intelligence report.

Hi,

If my memory serves me right, at least on XI 3.1, Web Intelligence is not available by default and there are three components you need to do initially to make this work - assuming you have the right license.

1. Web Intelligence under Applications,

2. Universe

3. Connection.

For testing purposes, I'd suggest to grant Everyone group Full Control on those three components mentioned. Once done, check in Infoview if Webi is now in the list.

If this works, then you've isolated the issue to be security. If not, get another trial license or log a support ticket if you believe your license should contain Webi and it is not showing despite all rights provided.

Hope this helps.

Did you navigate to a public folders or your favorites folder before clicking on the new button?

For DeskI and CR you need the full client designer tools.

Yes, I tried clicking the Public folders and my favorites >>> " New" Button still shows me >> Hyperlink, Publication, Category and Folder.

I know it is a security issue, But as Administrator with Full control should not come up with this error. Just now I checked both in the Infoview and CMC >> Preferences >>> There is no Web Intelligence to make settings either

Please help me out....

Hello,

Can you try to access the designer? If that has issues as well you probably have a corrupt license file.

Webi should always be available for the following versions (Edge, Enterprise and Professional)

What you can do is go to the CMC and remove the license and re-enter it again.

If that doesn't work try to download a temporary license and see if that works. If that works there is an issue with the license and you should get hold of your BO account manager.

Regards
