'WIH 00013 - Invalid Session'  error returning when our user ran  Deski reports through infoview. Environment BOXI R 3.1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Tomcat Webapplication Server Solution We changed timeout-settings for Infoview increased to 120 minutes. However as we left an web intelligence document idle for more than 20 minutes the same error came again. We increased the idle connection timeout and idle document timeout settings for the WebIntelligenceProcessingServer using the CMC  but it was not sufficientto be neccessary) As Webi reports are not handled by the InfoView application   the timeout settings from InfoView are not helpful. We had to change the timeout settings for the AnalyticalReporting Application  BOInstallDir\Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\WEB-INF\web.xml See similar post: ERROR WIS 30280 BUSINESS OBJECTS ERRORS LIST

ERROR WIS 30280 We had a problem on opening all Webi reports. We found that the error message appears because the Web Intelligence server stresses the memory resources when processing many reports containing a large amount of data. Solution To resolve the error message, it is necessary to increase the memory heap size value.  Follow these steps:  Open  the regedit ( Registry Editor) Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager. Click Subsystems > right-click Windows key > click Modify. Edit the SharedSection value from 1024,3072,512 to 1024,3072,1024. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\default\WebIntelligence\Server\Admin\SwapTimeOut. Update  this value to 1500 seconds. Otherwise you could set this to a value higher than the Web Intelligence Report Server connection time out value found in the Central Management Console. This value is expressed in minutes.( default is 20). Restart the Web Inte

Environment: Business Objects XI R 3.1 - Desktop Intelligence/ Rich Client We had this error CONNECTION or SQL SENTENCE ERROR (DA0005) ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name :-12154 just  for one a client in another site of our customer. We checked this  problem by typing  in CMD tnsping Oracle SID  for example: tnsping oracledatabase. The problem was that int the tnsname on the client under the path : C:\app\username\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin had not the same Oracle SID. Another  solution  could also be that the tnsping does not respond so the listener could be down. Similar case: On another Desktop Intelligence client with the same issue (error code) the problem was due to a double Oracle installation and a double Business Obects Intallation. Solution: In this case we unified the two different TNSNAMES in only one ! For other error see also: BUSINESS OBJECTS ERRORS LIST
