Hi All,
I want to change the sever name in Information steward connections, its grayed out and I am unable to edit this server name.
Is there any other option to change this server name with out creating new connection.
Example: Previously the server name is "ABC" and now i have to change it to "XYZ"
Thanks in Advance.
Hi All,
When trying to add tables to the existing connections in Information Steward, getting the below error :
Connection Error : MetadataService did not initialize properly. Check the PJS LOG file for more details. (ADM-10008)
Below is the error text in the log file :
Log : Failed to Start Container on port 4010.Check if the listener and the jmxconnectorserver ports are in use.

Hi experts,
I’m new to this; I’ve recently installed SAP BusinessObject Information Steward 4.2 SP2 over SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 SP3& BODS 4.2 SP2 (on Windows Server 2008 R2)
Installation, setup and connections worked fine as per the installation guide.
After that we added a table to the project in order to start developing:
After some days we tried to add another table from the same connection all of this related to the same Project mentioned above but it got stuck into a loop ‘til it raised the following issue:
When validated the connection from the CMC it started to retrieve the following warning:
Test connection returned unknown status. Unexpected case empty string result. (COR-10567) (ADM-10012):
The user with which the connection was created is SYSADMIN type; we tried to connect through JDBC and ODBC with the ODBC manager; test results successfully:
Test connection returned unknown status. Unexpected case empty string result. (COR-10567) (ADM-10012)
In consequence we uninstalled and re-installed again from scratch the IS hence losing the previous development; once done it worked for some days but after those days it started to crash again the same way whenever we wanted to add new tables; of course, the connection started to raise the error messages again when tested.
Have you experienced something like this? Is there a way out you could recommend/advice?
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Bernardo
Hi ,
Please help me resolve the below issue :
I am getting the below popup everytime whenever I am trying to approve a rule and even it is not allowing me to modify and cancel the task ,getting the same issue every time.

Hi folks,
NOTE: I posted this in HANA IN MEMORY topic area prior to discovering this Information Steward area.
Re: Information Steward access to SLT schema for temp tables
I have a colleague working on an Information Steward proof of concept for pulling master data from HANA. He asked me to setup a HANA user for Information Steward to connect and read from our default schema that contains all tables replicated from SAP via SLT. Let's call this SAP_SCHEMA. Let's call the Information Steward user and schema INFO_STEWARD. The INFO_STEWARD user has full access to it's own INFO_STEWARD schema and I also gave him SELECT_USER role against the SLT schema named SAP_SCHEMA. But when they run their job they get error that they can not CREATE temporary table against SAP_SCHEMA.
Normally we never allow any user except SLT user to create tables in the SAP_SCHEMA. All users have SELECT only. But as a test I humored him and gave POWER_USER role against SAP_SCHEMA, had him run his load job and then I monitored M_TEMPORARY_TABLES. Suddenly his job started working and I watched 500+ temporary tables fill up M_TEMPORARY_TABLES, however they all listed the temp table schema as INFO_STEWARD schema. So I'm completely puzzled; if all the temp tables are created in it's own INFO_STEWARD schema then why does it need CREATE against SAP_SCHEMA?? My only theory is that it truly created a single temp table in SAP_SCHEMA but it happened and dropped so fast that I could not see it with my own eyes. Whereas the other 500+ I could see sitting there for several minutes before they were dropped.
Are there any Information Steward users out there whom can explain to me why it would need CREATE against the SLT schema where our source tables live? I'm hoping it's some sort of configuration problem on the Information Steward side as we do not want to doll out create access. Other system users we have such as MicroStrategy only have read access to the SLT schema and create temp tables fine in their own MicroStrategy schema.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I am able to connect succesfully to ECC in CMC,import and view table also in InfoSteward. However when I run profile job I have the following error
The Subtask process [subtask id=701] has completed with error: The SAP job was canceled for host < >, job name <a5fbd76ed8f711e2b6b14d5844b07315>, job count <17481300>, job log from SAP <20130619, 174813, Job started

The same table when I export to a file and create a fileformat and run the profile job ,the job runs succesfully.
Why is the job not running with the table coming directly from ECC.
Hi experts,
I’m currently involved in a project where Information Steward is implemented.
One requirement is Single-Sign-On (SSO) for Information Steward based on SAP authentication.
What we did so far:
1. We configured the SAP authentication in the CMC:
a. We defined and connected to the SAP entitlement system
b. We defined that system as the default system and enabled SAP authentication
c. We imported all roles from the SAP system
d. We scheduled the user update (updating roles and aliases on a daily basis)
e. We generated a keystore file, exported the public key certificate and imported the certificate file to the SAP system
f. We also set up single sign-on to the SAP database in the CMC
g. And we added the Security Token Service to the Adaptive Processing Server and the EIM Adaptive Processing Server
2. We managed Users in the CMC:
a. We added one of the imported aliases to the group Data Insight Administrator
b. The user was able to log on to Information Steward with his SAP credentials
3. Then we configured Tomcat for SSO:
a. We copied the global.properties and ICCExplorer.properties files from D:\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default to D:\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom
b. We changed / added the following settings (in the custom folder):
i. global.properties file
1. trusted.auth.user.namespace.enabled=false
2. trusted.auth.user.param=iv-user
3. trusted.auth.user.retrieval=HTTP_HEADER
4. sso.types.and.order=sapSSO
5. sso.enabled=true
ii. ICCExplorer.properties file
1. disable.locale.preference=true
2. authentication.default=secSAPR3
3. cms.default=:6400
c. afterwards we rebooted the whole server
Finally I (as an external user without an SAP user in the entitlement system defined above, but with a CMC user with Enterprise authentication) am able to automatically log-in to Information Steward (I just enter the URL for IS in the browser and I‘m automatically logged in to IS).
But the internal user (the one who successfully tested the logon to IS with his SAP credentials as mentioned above) gets an error message whenever he wants to start IS (see attached screen shot for the displyed error).
In the InformationSteward.Explorer.log file (under D:\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\logging ) we can see the following error messages:
[E] 2015-10-12 09:26:57.548 [Administrator][http-bio-8080-exec-3] Uncaught exception: Enterprise authentication could not log you on. Please make sure your logon information is correct. (FWB 00008)
[E] 2015-10-12 09:26:57.548 [Administrator][http-bio-8080-exec-3] Enterprise authentication could not log you on. Please make sure your logon information is correct. (FWB 00008)
[E] 2015-10-12 09:26:57.548 [Administrator][http-bio-8080-exec-3] com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKServerException: Enterprise authentication could not log you on. Please make sure your logon information is correct. (FWB 00008)
For me it seems as if still the Enterprise authentication is used even though we defined SAP authentication as the default (“authentication.default=secSAPR3” in the ICCExplorer.properties file).
What did we miss? Or what did we wrong?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement where in we need to setup few users as Data Insight Rule Approvers. But when I add the users to the default Data Insight Rule Approvers group they are not able to see the Show Only My Worklist option visible for them.
I read in one of the forums that only if the user is part of the Administrator group would the Show Only My Worklist option visible for them. Please let me know if this true, if no,how can we make this option visible to the users.
Thanks,
Arjun
Does anyone know where there is documentation on configuration or usage of the Metadata reports available in Information Steward?
I am prompted for login credentials to the repository but nothing that I try works. To make things worse, it seems to cause Tomcat to shut down.
In the versions of Metadata Management used with Business Objects XI3.1, you had to go to the reports to configure the JDBC connections for the reports. I can't find any documentation on where the reports are stored much less on how to configure the connection to the Metadata Management repository database.
I am running Information Steward 4.2sp2 hosted on Information Platform Services 4.1sp3.
Hi,
I am new to SAP business object information stewart. I understand that it's used for data quality monitoring/governance. Can anyone through some light
on how SAP ECC interacts with SAP BOIS? (Interface between these two, how the data transfer between etc). Also want to know is this applicaion resides inside ECC or is it a separate SAP application like APO,CRM etc...
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
I would like to find out from user community if you have implemented data insight module in your organization, have you followed any naming convention to name objects such as view, rule, task, project etc?
We are planning to implement Information Steward data insight profiling and rules/scorecard globally for various regions and for various data domains / subject areas. We would like to define certain naming conventions for the following objects
- Project Name
- View Name
- Rule Name
- Task Name
- File Format
- Connection
etc.,
If you followed any naming conventions for the above data insight objects, can you please provide the details?
Thanks

Hi All,
We are currently implementing the scenario where SAP Information Steward is integrated with SAP MDG, as described in the RDS for SAP Master Data Governance with Information Stewardship.
The scenario can be view on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3tw91WWFiw
As a guide we are using OSS Note 1679579 RDS for Master Data Governance with Information Stewardship, and some standard content that is available.
Unfortunately not all steps are desribed in the documents that we have.
We are looking for some guidance on how to embed the scorecard into NWBC. Our webdynpro currently look like this:
Any tips and ticks on how to proceed and where to insert the scorecard from IS? We know that we have to use the link that is available in IS, to publish the scorecard results.
Furthermore, some guidance is appreciated on how the data from the scorecard is transferred.
Thanks.
Cheers,

I followed the steps in the scn (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/10538fce-4b42-2e10-0fb1-a2146dc20943&overridelayout=true) to setup profile but encountered the following error while trying to execute it:
"A system error occurred. Contact the administrator if the error persists (UIM-10142). "
We tried checking on the "Download Log File" button but it generates message saying "Log file is not available".
We tried checking in directory "E:\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\logging" but couldn't find any related error.
Could you please help to provide recommendations and approach to resolve this problem?
Dear Team,
Is it possible to configure a connection between MDG (NWBC) and IS(Information steward).
Regards,
Tushar.
Folks, Can anyone tell me if there is a work around to get more than 5oo output/failed rows in IS for Data insight ( Data Quality & Profiling ) ??
Is there some setting we need to perform in CMC or probablly if some patch deployment needed ?
any input is appericiable.
thx

Hello,
When ever i run a (profile/rule) task on any table from ECC in Information Steward, it's failing and is generating an error log as shown below. But, i am able to view data when i click on "View data" icon after selecting the imported table.
error: Data flow <DF_Rule_NP_142_1> received a bad system message. Message text from the child process is <ﾘﾾﾮCﾷR==========================================================
Collect the following and send to Customer Support:
1. Log files(error_*, monitor_*, trace_*) associated with this failed job.
2. Exported ATL file of this failed job.
3. DDL statements of tables referenced in this failed job.
4. Data to populate the tables referenced in the failed job. If not possible, get the last few rows (or sample of them) when the job failed.
5. Core dump, if any, generated from this failed job.
==========================================================>
Did anyone face the similar issue? if yes, could you help me by providing some inputs to resolve this.

We recently upgraded a few versions of IS to Version: 14.2.5.851
No change to rules, tasks, etc... but now we're having run times on regularly scheduled tasks 4-5 times longer than before the upgrade. We looked at the IS server task manager immediately after a reboot and see dozens of pretty large al_engine.exe processes running, despite NO rule or profiling tasks scheduled or running. Is this normal? Why would so many processes start immediately after a re-boot?
This is on an Information Steward only box, but the IPS is clustered and shared with Data Services, if that matters. I believe the tasks on the IS box itself should reflect only InfoSteward content since the box is NOT used as a DS jobserver.
