BOEXI - Scheduling Reports 1

[TheGoldMineGuru]

BOEXI | MSSQL2K | Windows 2003 Advanced Server

We're using InfoView to deploy and execute reports. When a user schedules a report, they see the options to change the Database Logon. Is there a way to hide that option?

Thanks!

I couldn't find it either...

There's a flag on the BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications -> InfoView settings for :

Show "Filters" tab on the Schedule page

...but there's not an equivalent setting to Show/Hide the "Database" tab on the Schedule page.

You can fairly easily edit the JSP or ASPX file to comment out the section that requests the database information. I did this for both the Java and .Net InfoView pages and it works well.

Thanks for both posts, I appreciate it. I'll talk with the developer and see what he can do.

Thanks!

gortuk -

Can you post the BOE-XI server folder-path and file-name for the ASPX file you altered...?

If you could paste the section you commented-out that would be appreciated also.

Thanks,

You need to edit this file:
c:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Web Content\Enterprise115\InfoView\Report\report_scheduleBody.aspx

and comment out this:

<!--
<tr id="dBLogonLinksPanel" runat="server">
<td width="1"><asp:linkbutton id="dBLogonImgLink" CssClass="appTreeCtrl" Runat="server" CausesValidation="True">
<asp:Image CssClass="appTreeCtrl" id="dBLogonImg" ImageUrl="../images/minus.gif" border="0" runat="server" ImageAlign="middle" AlternateText=""></asp:Image>
</asp:linkbutton></td>
<td class="schedule" width='99%'><asp:linkbutton id="dBLogonLabelLink" runat="server" CssClass="appTreeCtrl" CausesValidation="True"
Font-Bold="True"></asp:linkbutton></td>
</tr>

<tr id="dBLogonPanel" runat="server">
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td class="schedule">
<!--#include virtual="report_scheduleBody_include_db.aspx"--></td>
</tr>
-->

I have also commented out the Filters, Printers, Server Groups, and Events panels so that our users only see the options that they really need to use. These are all on the same page, just note that there are two <tr>s for each option, and you need to comment out both of them. The first one will start <tr id="XXXXXLinksPanel" and the second one will start <tr id="XXXXXPanel". Comment out both of these and the section will disappear.

gortuk-

Thanks.

crsdev - I'm sorry, but I'm not running Tomcat so I don't have the JSP files to look at. You may want to just take a look at your own files and do some experimenting to determine where the appropriate code is and where it should be commented out.
