CD / Download for installing BI 7.0 Front-end components?

Hi,
We have just upgraded a test system from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0.
Our basis team also upgraded my SAP GUI to 640.
This GUI 640 installation also upgraded the Business Explorer components. However, Query Designer & Web Application Designer are now just on Release 3.5. Apparently all the latest patches of 640 have been installed. Is GUI 7.00 available somewhere?
I would like to know where I can get the new BI 7.0 components of Query Designer, WAD & Report Designer. Ideally, I would like to install on my PC the legacy 3.x components as well so that I can maintain the existing BW systems that have not upgraded.
Regards
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
When you run the GUI setup with 640, you get the option for which items you want to install. If you choose the BI items, then the new Analyzer, WAD, Report Designer etc.. get installed. You may have to re-run the installation and choose these components.
Latest Front End Patches are available from <a href="https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/swdc">SAP Software Distribution Centre</a>
On the left menu, go to Download > Support Packages and Patches > Entry by Application Group > SAP Frontend Components > SAP GUI for Windows > SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 > Win32 and download "Bw700SP09_900-10001615.exe".
This is the latest patch (FEP9), so you may want to go FEP802 instead.
If you can't find the GUI CD with installation components, they are also available here (Setup640 and GUI640).
Also, this blog is really good <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4087">NW2004s Front End blog</a>
Your 3.x tools will remain on the Start menu after you install the 'new' tools.
Hope this helps.

The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.

I tried to install SAP GUI 7.20 on Windows Vista X64. And I got this error message:
The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.
This 7.20 version used to run on this operating system fine. I reinstalled the OS, and now I got this.

Hi,
I suppose you reinstalled the same OS.
Did you install the JSDK (java) afterwards. As you must be aware Java is a pre-requisite for the SAP Frontend.
Also make sure you have set the environment variables after installing java.
Further documentation, the SAP installation manual can be found in the u201CDOCUu201D folder of the installation software.

"No administrator found for the task" in the front end

Hi all,
My issue is, whenever approval request is raised from the front end ( JAVA WEB-DYNPRO), it triggers the workflow through the "sap_wapi_start_workflow" and when the workflow proceeds to the first level of approval, the front end application provides the approver with Approve and Reject options.
On click of approve, from the java webdynpro, the approve status is written in the container using "sap_wapi_write_container" and then a call is made to "sap_wapi_workitem_complete". Upon excution, the message line is "No administrator found for the task" and the return code is "1".
But if we do the same steps from the backend (R/3), the workitem is getting completed without any such error.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Balaji,
I think I have an answer for you. This has happened with us when approving a WD java task using UWL (in our case for travel). The key is the return code of 1.
What has happened is this. The return code actually comes from the function SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW which is called deep in the WAPI wrapper. It means "infeasible_state_transition = 1".
This is due to the fact that after updating the container, your wapi call from web dynpro tries to change the workitem from status of "Ready" to status "Completed". This will not work.
What you will have to do is call "SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW" to set the status to 'SELECTED' beofre setting the item to complete.
The reason for this is that when you are executing from R3, the status change is done for you. When calling from the WD, no reservation of the workitem occurs.
Sorry about last night, I live well outside of town and the phone reception at my place is poor.
Regards
Gareth

Validation for FB01 to stop on Front end

Hi Team
I wanted to stop the user when user execute/select/typed FB01 in FRONT END.
But when its invoked by another transaction on the same user it should allow to proceed.
User are maintained in a seperate table
I beleive this is a common issue accross SAP FB01, do you have tested solutions for this?
I hope a validation with user action can enable this logic..but i am not sure.
can anyone give me some ideas on this, any different solution?

ADF Faces or APEX for a lightweight browser-based front end.

I'm tasked with prototyping a lightweight browser based front end to display consolidated customer information. It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications. The idea is that each application will have a button that can kick off a browser session to see a data-warehouse sourced view of a customer. Forms10g (where my experience lies) seems too resource heavy for the constant opening/closing of this little application but APEX looks like a good fit with not too steep a learning curve and the guys on the forum thuoght it was well suited. ADF Faces seems to have a steep learning curve given that I don't have any Java experience but a small view-only app like this might be a good place to gain experience useful for more complex apps. My question is whether ADF Faces is a goot fit for this sort of task. If anyone has used ADF Faces and APEX I'd be very grateful for their thoughts.

Thanks for those pointers Grant.
Just a couple of further questions. As a company we're stuck on Internet Explorer 5.5 for another 18 months or so (>5,000desktops!). Does that exclude ADF Faces as an option given the prune-faced geriatric nature of the browser we're using (we're also on NT4.0 :-) Also, they're likely to be in and out of this screen like a fiddler's elbow and I'm wondering if the start-up effort using ADF Faces is likely to be significantly more resource intensive than an APEX equivalent.
My background is Oracle*Forms (since 2.0) and it would be nice to make a start on a technology that could be used in place of Forms in more complex apps - I just need to be able to justify the likely increased costs to people focused predominantly on this project's costs.

Download for BI 7.0 Front-end components

Hi,
Im trying to find the place where I can download the BI Bex Suite of programs mainly BEx QD, BEx Analyzer and BEx Web Analyzer.
Do you know where I can download this software or does anybody have the software that they could send to me.
The software is for home use to use in conjunction with the Trial version of SAP BI 7
Thanks

Thanks for that I managed to download the the files and install them.
However, when I try to logon I get the following message:
Error Group
RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM
Message
Ent
Do you know what this error means?
I am using the new Login version and NW trial version 7.1
The frontend tools are based on the 6.4 version would this cause a conflict?
Is there a 7.1 version to the fontend tools, if so do you have a ftp link to them?

Upgrade error message from itunes, it downloads for 20 minutes then at the end gives me an error message saying lost server

I have tried 4 times to download and sync itunes update to ipod touch. from 3.1.2 to 4.2. 20 min. later it gets to the end an error message pops up saying lost connection and no update.

Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.

How to install SQL Mgmt Studio on the front end

SQL 2008 R2

Looking at the above list, I think SSMS has already been installed? What is a front end server?
Thanks for your help.

What is a front end server?
Thanks for your help.
That's not a good question I guess you were asking about whether SSMS is present or not you already got the answer. Front end is there any server can be front end server its name used for terminal server where user generally perform some action.
Front end is term used when dealing with 3 or N tier architecture which is beyond scope of this forum

Soujanya

Hi Soujanya,
This is known issue in BEx tools in this latest release.
We got the same problem and still facing.
We are using BEx 3.5X to access all reports.
Install BEx 3.5 too. Then you get two sub menus to access BEX tools.
Make sure that you open reports in 3.5 BEx Analyser.
I think all reports, which you tried to open in BEx(BI 7.0) are corrupted. try to copy to your datatargets/install (if they are BI Content Reports).
Good Luck,
Anand.
Pls give points if this is useful

Front End Installation Server - Administrator rights on client PC's

We are using a third party repackaging tool to deploy sapgui to our workstations. This has proven to be problematic in the past and are now considering the SAP Front End Installation server approach.
After reveiwing the installation guide we are wondering about how packages are deployed to workstations. Our users do not have administrator priveleges on thier workstations, so is it still possible to deploy packages from the installation server (either where they "pull" it down, or it is pushed down to them).
This factor is one reason we are still using the third party repackaging tool because packages can be deployed under a "system" account (via a cleint agent on each PC) - in lieu of each user having administrator privelges on their workstations.
If the SAP Installation server requires users to have these elevated priveleges it won't be an option for us. Does anyone else have any experience with the Installation server and users who do not have administrator priveleges?
Any feedback, directions, or links to additional resources would be greatly appreciated and happily rewarded with positive feedback and reward points
thanks,

Front End Service is not starting

Hi ,
Any one can help me to resolve this issue.
I have one enterprise edition front end server .if i try to start the front end service it give the following error
Server startup is being delayed because fabric pool manager is initializing.
Cause: This is normal when Pool is bootstrapped and indicates that the Front-End is waiting for a quorum of other Front-Ends to be started.
Resolution:
If this event recurs persistently, ensure that 85% of the Front-Ends configured for this Pool are up and running. For 2 or 3 machine Pools, initial cold-start of the Pool requires all machines to be started. If multiple Front-Ends have been recently decommissioned,
run Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery to enable the Pool to recover from Quorum Loss and make progress.

If understand the problem Correctly You one Lync enterprise edition installed is that right?
If yes Please note For a recommended Lync Server 2013 EE pool deployment, there should be at least three Lync Server 2013 front-end servers in the EE pool.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412996.aspx
We recommend that all your Enterprise Edition Front End pools include at least three Front End Servers
Also refer Why 3 server pool?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/1e277415-01b0-4123-a5bc-260909368d5b/why-3-server-pool?forum=lyncdeploy
If you just want one Lync server please install Lync Standard Edition
Front End Pools with Two Front End Servers
We do not recommend deploying a Front End pool that contains only two Front End Servers. If you do ever need to deploy such a pool, follow these guidelines:
If one of the two Front End Servers goes down, you should try to bring the failed server back up as soon as you can. Similarly, if you need to upgrade one of the two servers, bring it back online as soon as the upgrade is finished.
If for some reason you need to bring both servers down at the same time, do the following when the downtime for the pool is finished:
The best practice is to restart both Front End Servers at the same time.
If the two servers cannot be restarted at the same time, you should bring them back up in the reverse order of the order they went down.
If you cannot bring them back up in that order, then use the following cmdlet before bringing the pool back up:.
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery -PoolFQDN <FQDN>

Problems with one of the front-end servers (service wont start)

Hi,
Having a pool with two front-end servers (Lync Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012) and I cannot get one of servers to work properly.
The Front-End service is not starting.
Have removed both servers from the topology and installed one at the time. When adding the second server to the pool the service never starts, its in starting state and a bunch of error messages appears:
- Server startup is being delayed because fabric pool manager is initializing.
Cause: This is normal when Pool is bootstrapped and indicates that the Front-End is waiting for a quorum of other Front-Ends to be started.
- Pool Manager failed to connect to Fabric Pool Manager.
Cause: This could happen because insufficient number of Front-Ends are currently active in the Pool.
I have tried restarted one at the time, both at the same time...
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType FullReset
I have also had a look at the kb saying that there could be a certificate issue. So I have ran that script but no certificate is misplaced in any store.
I have removed the front-end certificates and requested new ones from the internal CA, I have also done the same to the OAuth certificates.
How to proceed?

Hi there,
if you are still receiving, the same error, please try to shutdown the first Front-End Server, and give time for the services to start, however I would like also to add that with Lync server 2013 the Enterprise pool requirements is to have 3 Front-End Servers
in a pool instead of 2, because of introducing the brick model architecture.

Diagram Not getting displayed on the Front End UI in SSM 7.5

Hello ,
We are running SSM 7.5 SP 04. We uploaded a custom image using diagram manager for the required context in the administration UI. The image is uploaded successfully. But , when I open the strategy tab for my context in the front end UI , I am getting a "HTTP 500 Page cannot be displayed error".
I restarted the listeners and the JPIP sessions as well. But still the error persists. Please advise.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Vijay,
It is possible to successfully upload a strategy map into Diagram Manager and still not see it in the User Interface. After loading the goal diagram has to be Published To Server. You do that in Diagram Manager.
You can upload a strategy map and Save that in Strategy Default in Administrator Interface, but unless you Publish it, it will not be exposed to the end users.
In the Set Strategy Defaults area of the Administrator Interface, in the Create or Edit Goal Diagrams section. The Goal Diagram you loaded should have a Publish Date next to it. If it says Not Published, you need to Edit that Goal Diagram in Diagram Manager,
In Diagram Manager under FILE at the top, choose Publish to Server.
You now should see a Publish Date in the Administrator interface and Saving it will now make it available on the user side.
Regards,
Bob
