Symptom
- This error is in the category of Business Objects Enterprise Platform error messages.
- Attempting to connect Lumira Desktop to SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 results in the error
Unable to connect to the BI platform. Check the connection settings. (HDB 05408)
Environment
- SAP Lumira Desktop
Cause
- This error can occur if the proxy setting in Lumira Desktop points to a proxy script instead of a specific proxy server.
Resolution
Many companies do not have a specific proxy server, but instead use a script to specify a proxy server depending on the users location. However, Lumira Desktop does not currently (As of version 1.29.3) support specifying a proxy server script in the manual proxy settings. If it is necessary to use a proxy script, the only current option is to specify the proxy script in the Internet Explorer proxy settings and then select the "Use System Proxy Settings" option in Lumira.
