SAP BW connectivity Error

former_member1014584 — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 09:30:28 GMT

Hi Experts,

While connecting with my SAP BW production server I'm getting this error. Please help me to resolve it.

I'm using licensed version of SAP Lumira desktop,

Error:

while trying to invoke the method com.sap.ip.bi.zen.connectivity.IBackendServices.isConnectionUpAndRunning(java.lang.String) of a null object returned from com.sap.ip.bi.zen.IDesignerEnvironmentBase.getBackendServices()while trying to invoke the method com.sap.ip.bi.zen.connectivity.IBackendServices.isConnectionUpAndRunning(java.lang.String) of a null object returned from com.sap.ip.bi.zen.IDesignerEnvironmentBase.getBackendServices()

Thank you for your valuable feedback,

Hi ,

does it make a difference if the SID entry (in SAP LogonPad) is pointing to a Message Server or Application Server? (the latter would make a good test)

do other desktop users experience the same ?

do other SAP BW systems work ok ? (not production)

Regards,

Hi,

Even in my SAP log on pad doesnt have "production BW" its there in Lumira replacing the "PBI" in Log on Pad

Re: SAP BW connectivity Error

Henry_Banks — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 12:55:14 GMT

what's the difference between PBI and PBI [HUBSBI] ?

and are you entering a logon Language ? if so, which one?

Hi Sunny

I am using 1.23 and SAP BW is working in my side

I believe 1.25 will be released soon

The question in my side how you login your SAP system? via dialog with userd ID and password or SSO

Best regards

I'm afraid that it because of the "Host file"

HI ,

Can you please share your java version, and the host file, Sap lumira ini file...

Thanks,

Re: SAP BW connectivity Error

Former Member — Tue, 05 May 2015 16:14:04 GMT

Hello Dennis,

please try the following steps.

1) Stop SAP Lumira
2) Delete folder "C:\Users\<USER NAME>\.sapvi\workspace\com.sap.ip.bi.zen"
3) Right-click on the SAP Lumira icon and choose Run As Administrator
4) Test out the BW workflow
5) On subsequent runs you will not need Run As Administrator

Thank you

Hi Dennis,

Going back to the start of this thread, could you please clarify whether or not you managed to resolve the SID issue? That is, do you still see different SIDs in Lumira Desktop and SAP Logon?

in case you still observe the SID issue, I am speculating that the problem you are seeing may be related to multiple versions of saplogon.ini file being installed/found on your computer, and Lumira Desktop and SAP Logon are using different ones.

Could you consider trying a few things to help narrow down the root cause of the problem?

1. Search your local drive for instances of saplogon.ini file

2. Compare the content of saplogon.ini files to see which one is used by Lumira and identify any differences

3. Check if SAPLOGON_INI_FILE environment variable is set on your machine, and if yes, to which saplogn.ini file it points

4. Try using the same saplogon.ini file that is used by SAP Logon with Lumira Desktop

Regards,

Boris

Hi Boris,

While update on i.25 version the issue resolved

both are pointing to same ini file..

But the log in problem persists.

Thanks,

Thank you for the clarification Dennis.

Is the connection defined in SAP Logon to use either SAP Router String, or Message Server?
