Disable auto-save Analysis for Olap

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Does anybody know how to disable to auto-save behaviour of Analysis for Olap.

I am talking about auto-save appearing in our favorites when being inactive during a while.

Thanks in avance for your help.

Best regards,

Bertrand

Hi Bertrand,

Currently, there is no user friendly way to either disable
or change the auto-save timeout value in A-OLAP.

One potentially (but officially not supported) way to do it
could be to modify mddesigner.jsp file, which is found in the following
location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP
BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins\webpath.mdaclient\web\JSP\app\mddesigner.jsp

Specifically, try modifying the value of timeoutOfSession from .5 to a bigger number:

<mdc:autosaver id="autosaver"
timeoutOfSession=".5" />

I did not test this personally, and thus cannot guarantee it will work.

Note that when BOE.war file is redeployed (e.g. after patching or upgrading it), the changes will be overwritten in the web application server work directory, and will need to be re-applied.

Do you mind submitting an SAP Idea for A-OLAP to provide a user friendly way to either disable or change the timeout value for auto-saving, and then based on its popularity we could consider it in one of the future releases?

Regards,

Boris

Hi Bertrand,

This suggestion was voted up and accepted by SAP to be implemented in a future SP.  Please see

However, there is no expected date of availability noted.

Thanks,

Hi,

This has been delivered in Business Intelligence platform 4.2 SP3 : there is a new user preference in BI Launchpad which allows to configure if you prefer to have autosave completely disabled, enabled when creating a new workspace, or else previous behavior where autosave is always active.

Hi,

The preference setting is to be done by user him/herself. Can something be done to prevent AutoSaves at Admin level for all users together. We do not want autosave for users as create multiple copies of the report which users are not aware of.

Hi,

There is no option to disable the autosave. It is there as a safety feature to ensure work does not get accidentally lost if the session times out.

You can extend the time that elapses before the autosave occurs. Please seehttp://scn.sap.com/thread/3643478
