BOE XI 3.1 - Metadata Integrator - DataServices 12.0 - Impact/Lineage

Question

I am having issues with getting impact and lineage to work.  I have the following installed:
- BOE XI 3.1
- DataServices 12.0
- Metadata Integrator as part of the same DataServices installation
Everything is installed and working well...independently.  Once I found the new way to secure program object execution, I was able to get the Metadata Integrator program under the \DataServices directory in the CMC to execute successfully.  I then go into the Data Services Management Console and expect to see Impact/Lineage.  However, there is nothing there to choose.
I have DI Designer set to save column mappings when saving the dataflow, and I have run that program mentioned above.  When I go into the Settings hyperlink of the Impact/Lineage section of the console, there is not a Repository in the dropdown list for Settings.  There also isn't a Job Server in the dropdownlist for "Refresh Usage Data" even though I have a working/running DI Job Server.  FYI, I am running IE7.
Finally, I went ahead and tried to create a Business Objects Connection.  I get the error message:
Business Objects repository tables do not exist in this database.
That seems to be a big red flag since I am accessing BOBJ tables in that exact database to have the CMC/Infoview work successfully.
Am I dealing with a version problem between products, or am I still missing a fundamental step to get this to work correctly?  Are there issues with IE7?  The Administration portion of the Data Services Management Console seems to work just fine.  FYI, I was able to create a CMS connection there, also.
Thanks for the help,
Brian

you don't see the lineage for BO since its not collected the cmsCollector is failing
you don't have to upgrade all DS component, you can use the DS 12.1.1.0 Metadata Integrator component only, this is an Independent component and is dependent more on BOE than DS
is all DS component Installed on same machine ? in that case you will have to install the Metadata Integrator Component on different machine and copy the %LINK_DIR%/ext/cmsCollector folder to your current installation (rename the current cmsCollector folder to cmsCollector120) and run the following script to setup the env and path for Metadata Integrator
if this doesn't work remove this folder and restore the old cmsCollector folder back, everything should be same as earlier
do this if you are comfortable with doing manual setups
put the following in a cmd file named setupMI.cmd, in the %LINK_DIR%/ext/cmsCollector folder
and run the cmd file from th ecommand line, only thing that you will have to set if different in the script is BOE_SDK path
set local
set BOE_SDK=C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib
set INSTALL_DIR=%LINK_DIR%
set JAVA_HOME=%LINK_DIR%\ext\jre
rem following is complete single line
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" -classpath "%INSTALL_DIR%\lib\loader.jar;%INSTALL_DIR%\ext\cmsCollector\lib\cms_md_collector.jar" -Djava.system.class.loader=com.bobj.ConfigurableClassLoader -Dclassloader.properties="%INSTALL_DIR%\ext\cmsCollector\classloader.properties" -Dink_dir="%INSTALL_DIR%" -Dboe_dir="%BOE_SDK%"  com.acta.crystalrepo.config.crConfigureCommands "%INSTALL_DIR%\ext\cmsCollector\/" "%BOE_SDK%\/" "%INSTALL_DIR%\/"
