SAP Business Objects Performance Tuning Guides
Hello everyone,
I'm currently looking for Performance Tuning guides for the hardware/software. In particular, parameters for the hardware. I'm having a hard time finding any kind of guides on the server side of Business Objects. So I'm wondering if anybody knows of some that are available on the internet or SAP site?
I've found very few in the software department. However, I'm looking more for the hardware portion of Business Objects. Basically the goal is to get the server as optimal as possible (As far as memory, parameters, CPU, etc) is concerned so we know it can't be a hardware issue. It's kind of narrowing down the potential problems we can have later on down the road so that's why this is very important right now.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Victor

Crystal Reports XI is the latest version of the report writer from Business Objects. Local reports guru David McAmis takes the new version for a spin.
Most developers might know Crystal Reports from versions included in Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and other popular developer IDEu2019s such as BEA Workshop, C# Builder, Delphi 2005, JBuilder, WebSphere.
In this latest installment both report and application developers have something to be excited about as there are a host of new features for report design and integration. Hereu2019s a run-down of what you can expect in this release.

SAP Business Objects Explorer on top of SAP BW
Dear Experts,
My Requirement:
- Use BO Explorer on top of SAP BW ( no HANA, no BIA ). This is to provide the users a set of related data and they can analyse the way they want.
Question-1:
- What should be the BW data volume that I should keep in mind for BO Explorer to have good performance. My concern is primarily because we don't use BIA or HANA.
Question-2:
- Can BO Explorer directly connect to a BW Infocube/Multiprovider or it has to connect only through Universes
Regards.Hi,
I will suggest you Go for SAP Business Objects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office,ity can connect bex query directly & Bw/Infocubes also.
Regarding Performance we can do In BI Itself depends on Business needs,: modelling , extraction, reporting 3 levels in BI .

SAP Business Objects Edge 3.0
Hi Gurus,
I was downloaded the SAP Business objects Edge 3.0 Trial version from SAP. I am using SAP 4.7 with oracle 9.2 DB... I want to integrate Edge 3.0 with our SAP for reporting purpose.. Please explain how can i configure this and what are the other softwares are required for this. I go throw the guides but i am not getting clear idea.
Now i just installed the business objects enterprise in one system web console are login correctly.
But i don't know how to connect my SAP DB with this.
Please help me.
Regards
MahendranHi,
you still need the mentioned software packages even if you do not have an SAP BI system. You can also configure your SAP R/3 system to do the BO authentication. The main difference is that you have to use crystal reports in order to access the data in your SAP system. You cannot report using Web Intelligence (universes) on an SAP R/3 data source.
So you have to do the following:
1) Install the SAP BusinessObjects Edge 3.0 software on host A
2) Install the Crystal Reports Designer 2008 V0 on host B (HostA and hostB can also be the same computer)
3) Install the Java Connector 2.1.8 on host A ([http://service.sap.com\connectors]). You will find more information on this in the installation guide of the integration Kit for SAP solutions.
3) Install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host A (Choose the server option in the installation). Please follow the instructions in the installation guide on how to do this.
4) If hostA and hostB are two different machines then please install also the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host B (Choose the desktop option in the installation)
5) Import the transports delivered in the integration KIT for SAP solutions in your SAP R/3 system (Check the installation guide for more information on these steps)
6) Configure the SAP authentication in your BOBJ Edge system (necessary if you want to logon with your SAP credentials in BOBJ)
This way you should be able to create reports based on your SAP R/3 data.

SAP Business Objects Explorer app Sybase SUP settings
Hello Community,
Is there a guide or a how to for setting up the SAP Business Objects Explorer application with Sybase Unwired Platform?
I found a guide to setup the SAP BusinessObjects Mobile application but nothing for Explorer.
Could someone please advise?
Thank you
JaredHi All,
If SUP comes is introduced in the landscape then the whole licensing structure changes then when used where we directly connect to BI server from the SAP BI app instead of introducing the SUP in the landscape.So what will be advantages of using the SUP against when we compare the licensing part in both the system landscape with SUP and without SUP.Also if we directly use the app with the BI server then apps user license will also play some role ??.I am new to the Mobile BI division and so please forgive me if i have asked some silly question and also some starter links are welcomed.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
AslehHi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
Please refer the below KBA for more details
