BusinessObjects – Delete Universes in CMC
| Posted by watashii | Filed under BusinessObjects, Software
When deleting Universes in the Administrator Central Management Console (CMC), under a BOXIR2 Unix installation, i got the following error:
Error. Unable to reconnect to the CMS XXX:6400. The session has been logged off or has expired.
The solution is to make sure the timezone environment variable is set under the user’s Unix profile (the user which installed BO).
vi /opt/bo/.profile
Add the following example timezone and source the profile.
TZ=Australia/NSW export TZ
source /opt/bo/.profile
Then restart the BO servers.

BusinessObjects – Insert Webi Report Images
| Posted by watashii | Filed under BusinessObjects, Software
To insert external images on BO Webi reports, create a blank cell from the Templates tab, go to Properties tab, and under ‘Background image’ put the following custom image URL:
boimg://<filename>.jpg
Then on the BO server (Windows), place the image file under
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Images
Or if you’re working under Unix system, its located at
/opt/bo/bobje/enterprise115/Images

Mobile GMaps – Stored Maps on Mobile
| Posted by watashii | Filed under Software
Mobile GMaps is a free application for the java enabled mobile phone. The application can display maps downloaded from Google Maps, Live Maps/Virtual Earth, Yahoo Maps, Ask.com and OpenStreetMap.org. This means users can view stored/offline maps on the mobile phone without the need to connect to mobile internet. It can also use the phone’s GPS for locating the current position.
My mission was to store offline map tile-images from Google Maps on my phone memory stick and access it when ever I wanted without paying a cent! The other feature I used is the pin-point location bookmark to mark the places of interest for me. Although my phone is not GPS-enabled, it is quite a convenient tool to have around when I’m out, instead of carrying a big fat map book.
Here are the steps to get stored maps on the phone. The phone I used was a SonyEricsson W580 phone. It should work on most java enabled phone / PDA / Pocket PC. Download and install the free java application on to the mobile phone (JAD/JAR files) to begin.

Google Maps – Finding Latitude and Longitude
| Posted by watashii | Filed under Software
Here is a very useful method (hack?) to locate the latitude and longitude of the google map center-point. Move the map center-point to your chosen location, and at the URL address bar, enter this:
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
Immediately, the prompt pops up with the latitude and longitude values. Sweet. Works on most web browsers.

Winamp – Live Messenger (MSN) ‘Now Playing’ Updates
| Posted by watashii | Filed under Software
The Windows Live Messenger (MSN) has a feature to “Show what I’m listening to” on Windows Media Player. But what if you want to show titles for your favourite music player like Winamp?
The solution is very simple. Just install the right Winamp plugin, and you’re done. The one i’m using is the now playing plugin (gen_msn). I am using Winamp 5.52 and Live Messenger 8.5.1
For power users, you can check out the advanced title formatting reference to allow you to fully customize the line display to any string value you like.
