Hello Tomer,

From the error message, I am assuming you are trying to connect to an ArcGIS Portal. The message means there is have an error in your settings.js configuration file (which is located in <Tomcat installation directory>\webapps\em4bobj\dashb\configuration\settings.js). Verify that you have entered the correct portal URL for the arcgisUrl property field. The settings in the file should look like this

        arcgisUrl: "[URL to ArcGIS organization]�?�,
       //for example: "http://portalhost.esri.com",
       arcgisAuthType: "user",
       arcgisAppUser: "",
       arcgisAppPassword: "",
       arcgisAppId: ""

For more information on configuring the authentication please refer to the documentation http://location-analyticsdev.arcgis.com/en/maps-for-sap-bobj/install-and-configure/configure-login-s...


Hope this solves your problem.

Hi Shirley,

I'm actually trying to connect to the arcgis.com .

What could i be missing?

currently my settings is like that:
arcgisUrl: "http://sap-israel.maps.arcgis.com",
//for example: "http://www.arcgis.com,
arcgisAuthType: "app",
arcgisAppUser: "myuser",
arcgisAppPassword: "mypassword",
arcgisAppId: "myappid"
//for example: "nvgHDDFXzMRWmKfY

what do u think?

thanks,
tomer.

Hello Tomer,

If you are connecting to your ArcGIS organization using app login, then your settings.js file should look like this:
arcgisUrl: "http://sap-israel.maps.arcgis.com",
//for example: "http://www.arcgis.com,
arcgisAuthType: "app",
arcgisAppUser: "myuser",
arcgisAppPassword: "mypassword",
arcgisAppId: " "

The arcgisAppId field needs to be empty.

i have tried that now.

it is still similar. could this be related to proxy?


thanks,

Tomer.

Hello Tomer,

If you haven't done so already, please restart your tomcat web server, clear your IE browser cache and re-launch the designer.


A simple test to verify if your proxy is working is try to access the following URLs in your browser:

1. http://[URL to ArcGIS organization]:[port number]/em4bobj/dashb/proxy.jsp?http://www.arcgis.com/features/img/logo-esri.jpg
e.g. http://sap-israel.maps.arcgis.com:8080/em4bobj/dashb/proxy.jsp?http://www.arcgis.com/features/img/lo...

and
2. http://[URL to ArcGIS organization]:[port number]/em4bobj/dashb/proxy.jsp?https://www.arcgis.com/features/img/logo-esri.jpg
e.g. http://sap-israel.maps.arcgis.com:8080/em4bobj/dashb/proxy.jsp?https://www.arcgis.com/features/img/l...

If you are able to see the Esri logo in your browser then your proxy works as expected.

OK.
i'm getting on both
http://sap-israel.maps.arcgis.com:8080/em4bobj/dashb/proxy.jsp?
and
http://www.arcgis.com/features/img/logo-esri.jpg

Network Error - Proxy: Raannana(RAA01-2)

so - where do i configure that?
in my browser settings?

I have no problem to access anything else over the web.

When we try to connect to our internal portal, how do we tell the client to connect to our internal portal?  It is still sending us to our ArcGIS Online account.

Hello Allison,
Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects can be configured to use an on-premise Portal for ArcGIS deployment in the settings.js configuration file. This file is located in <Tomcat installation directory>\webapps\em4bobj\dashb\configuration\settings.js

Open the settings.js file in any standard text editor, such as Notepad++ and provide the url of your Portal for ArcGIS as the value for the arcgisUrl property. The Url must be enclosed in quatation marks (" ") and should be in the format http://[PortalHost]/[PortalApp]

For example:The settings should look like this

arcgisUrl: "[URL to Portal for ArcGIS]�?�, 
//e.g. arcgisUrl: "http://portalhost.esri.com/gis",
arcgisAuthType: "user",
arcgisAppUser: "",
arcgisAppPassword: "",
arcgisAppId: ""

For more information on please refer to the documentation http://location-analyticsdev.arcgis.com/en/maps-for-sap-bobj/install-and-configure/administrative-an...

Thank you, however we had tried just that and the map designer still opens ArcGIS Online and asks the user to sign in to ArcGIS Online.  The link in the post above is broken when I try to access that site.  So we switched our setup back to ArcGIS online settings and now we can publish to ArcGIS Online but we cannot view the map/data within the dashboard.....we have not had much success in trying to set this up, unfortunately.  Also, one user can sign in successfully to ArcGIS Online through the mapping tool, but another user cannot.  Any feedback on any of these issues is greatly appreciated.  Thanks again.
