LBI Websphere error – The connection used to load this site used TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1

You may be getting reports from your users of this security warning or if loading to LBI from a portal bookmark, users may receive the below embedded error:

  1. To resolve this, login to Websphere on your LBI server.
  2. Go to Security > SSL Certificate and key management > SSL Configurations
  3. Select NodeDefaultSSLSettings
  1. Then select Quality of protection (QOP) settings
  2. Within this page, change the Protocol to SSL_TLSv2
  3. Save and then save to master configuration at the top. It is recommended to restart the entire LBI Server after this change.

Clear your browser cache before accessing LBI again and the TLS 1.0/1.1 error should be resolved. Also access LBI directly from a portal bookmark to see if it works there too.

Lawson Business Intelligence – Increasing limit for report files

, ,

You may have saw our article “How to load bursting rights into Lawson Business Intelligence” and encountered an error that your CSV file “exceeds the limit”.

To resolve this:

  1. Go to the Reporting Services server and open <application server directory>\ReportingServices\erswar-XXXX\
  2. Find and open the ersImportRights.jsp file in a text editor (backup before editing)
  3. Edit the following line:
    • ERSFileUploadRequest multi=new ERSFileUploadRequest(request,”.”, 1024*1024);
  4. Multiply the 1024*1024 to the number of bytes you want to increase limit to. If you want it to be 10 MB max, the line would look like the below:
  5. Save the .jsp file
  6. Restart your app server, Websphere etc.
  7. Try importing the file again.

Good luck!
