use opendocument 4.1 like opendocument 3.1 ...upppsss

[dario_vargas]

First of all ...... let me explain what I mean

My problem is that we have over 1000 WebIntelligenct documents that include all kinds of calls according to opendocument BOXI31 format, so that now we have migrated to SAPBO4.1 is hell and a nightmare updating them.

Now calls are something like:

http://servername:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/

SAPBO 4.1 something like:

http://servername:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc

  My question is whether ...... there is some way that I can redirect or use parameters that allow modify opendocument properties or unfortunately we need a small development with the SDK.

  Please, I need urgent assistance

  Thank you very much to everyone in advance

Hi Dario,

As the openDoc URL has changed from the Product XI 3.1 to BI 4.0 we need to update all the open document links as per the new pattern manually.

While searching the same, i found one of the article which claims to redirect the old openDoc URL to the newer version by changing the file httpd.conf within the apache installation directory :

Below is the content for the same :

- If we have split deployment with Apache handling the https and added a redirect in the httpd.conf
 
- On your BI4 server
<ApacheInstall>/conf/httpd.conf
 
- Look for the <IfModule alias_module>  and add in the following line:
 
- Redirect permanent /OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp /BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp
 
- Restart Apache

Hope this might help.

Thanks,

Thank for your reply Rameez Shaikh,

According to your answer, the question is .....there is no possibility to do it directly with Tomcat7 ???

It's not possible for us install Apache Web Server

Good morning everyone. Right now I think we've these possibilities:

1. - Any application that can get all the wid documents and when it finds the string / OpenDocument can replace for /BOE/OpenDocument

  2.- Tomcat7 modificatrion to redirect requests /Opendocument to /BOE/OpenDocument. Context modification ??

Please any help will be appreciated, so is an essential issue for us and stops our migration process

Thanks a lot

Hi Darío,

I was going through one more article to redirect OpenDocument URL link from XI 3.1 to Xi 4.0 :

Please take a backup before performing the below steps:

1. In the web Application Server (Tomcat) :

Go to the installation directory of BusinessObjects and Copy from BO XI 3.1 the folder "E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects XI3.1\Tomcat6\webapps\OpenDocument"

to

BO 4.0 installation file directory of Tomcat E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects 4.0\Tomcat6\webapps

2. In the folder "E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects 4.0\Tomcat6\webapps\OpenDocument\opendoc" search the file openDocument.jsp and replace all the content with:

<%

String redirectURL = "http://myserver/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?" + request.getQueryString();

response.sendRedirect(redirectURL);

%>

3. Save the changes and restart tomcat.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,

Hi again Rameez Shaikh,

It works for me, now i want to test the performance on this change in my environment. Only one comment for everybody ... the best option include the redirect sentence and delete the rest of  the code.

Thanks a lot, you are a machine ;-))) !!!!!!

Hi Dario,

As per my understanding, you need to use the BO XI 3.1 Opendoc link for all your Webi documents migarated in BI 4.1 ?

Is that the scenario?

[dario_vargas]

Yes it is

I have more than 1000 documents with the BOXI31 opendocument format, so i have a big problem because we don't want to change manually !!!

Actually we have Tomcat 7, my question is ...some configuration action with Tomcat 7 (SAPBO 4.1 bundled) allow us to redirect http://servername:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/ (BOXI31 format) calls to

http://servername:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc (SAPBO4.1).

We don't have Apache Web Server installed.

Thanks for your help shreyans surana
