Hiding Group Tree in BO XI 2

[kutoose]

Hi How will I hide the 'Group Tree' in Business Objects Enterprise XI ?

I have reports which are viewed from infoview, and group tree shows up. Need to remove that functionality.

I remember, in CE 10, there was an option for the same under Servers -> WCS

Thank You

The only way I know for you to do that is to open each report. Select "Report Options", clear the check box from "Create Group Tree" and save back to Enterprise.

I need to do this too, yes the CE10 WCS had that setting, but I can't see any BOE server with it, I can't edit and resave 400 reports, anybody found an enterprise solution for this yet?

For .NET you can modify the webconfig.xml

e.g. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\Web.config

<!-- "true" or "false" value determining whether a group tree will be shown by default if one is generated -->	
<add key="viewrpt.groupTreeShow" value="false"/>

For Java it is a little more tricky as - AFAIK - you need to modify and recompile the view report servlet

Thanks but has no effect for me, still has the tree on load ...??

Did you try restarting the web server after that.

Still no dice, this is ridiculous...

The information for configuring BO Enterprise XI .Net to disable the "Group Tree" is as follows.

You need to configure the web.config on the box(s) that have the Web Componente Adapter (WCA).

To configure the .NET WCA you edit the web.config file associated with the
the WCA. This file is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise
11\Web Content\application

To configure web.config
1. Stop your application server.
2. Edit the web.config file by using a text editor such as Notepad.

The following entry will disable the "Group Tree"
<context-param>
<param-name>viewrpt.groupTreeGenerate</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
<desctiption>”true” or “false” value determining whether
a group tree will be generated.</description>
</context-param>

3. Restart your application server.

NOTE: If you have more than one system with a WCA you must edit each of the files.

For the JAVA WCA the process is as follows:

1. Stop your application server.
2. Extract the web.xml file from the webcompadapter.war archive.
3. Edit the file by using a text editor such as Notepad or vi.
4. Reinsert the file into the WEB-INF directory in webcompadapter.war.
Tip: To reinsert web.xml into WEB-INF using WinZip, right-click on the
WEB-INF directory that contains your edited web.xml file and select “Add
to Zip File...”. Adding the file in this way ensures that it is placed in the
correct directory inside the archive.
5. Restart your application server.

This info comes from the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator’s Guide Page 82 to 84.

What a hassle, but that was it, thanks to all!

You are very welcome.
It was a great learning experience for me as well

One last point to clarify:

For the .NET, you have to set the value of key=”viewrpt.groupTreeHide” to True and value of key=”viewrpt.groupTreeGenerate” to False in the c:\program files\Business Objects BusinessObjects Enterprise11\Webcontent\ web.config file.
