2008 Engage Server Service packs and Fix Packs

I have Engage Server. I tried to load SP 3 and it didn't let me open old files. SAP told me SP3 was not compatible with Server product. I had to roll back to base version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121. Does anybody know if I can at least load SP1 or SP2 (and/or Fix packs) so I can have some of the basic features?

Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

Crystal Reports Service Pack and Fix Pack documentation

I've been maintaining a wiki that documents fixed issues, specifically targeted at the .NET developer. The link to that wiki:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163843498
For now, I'll keep maintaining the wiki, but if it is a duplication of effort and not used, I'll take it down.
Ludek

Umm......thanks for the feedback Ludek. You've obviously taken the time to read the documentation.
My question:
Why doesn't the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document list any issues fixed in FP2.8. The last I heard Jason was asking about this.........
Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?
Thanks,
Peter.

CR2008 service pack and fix pack sequence

I have CR2008 SP0 as a component of Crystal Reports 2008 Visual Advantage. I gather that the CR component of Visual Advantage is the plain vanilla version of CR2008. There seems to be multiple SP's, and hot fixes, available for the different flavors of CR2008. Does anyone know what sequence should I follow for bringing the plain old vanilla flavored version of CR2008 up to date? Thanks....d

Yeah, I have a strange state at the client I'm at where some of the developers are using SP1 and some are using SP0, but no one has the SP1 files so we can update. The sooner I can upgrade everyone the better...any word on when the updated SP1 will be ready?
[Edit] - Got your update above that was posted while I was writing my e-mail...If I had just waited a few more seconds...

CR 2008 and BOE XI 3.1 patches and fix pack?

I'm installing Crystal Reports 2008 and BOE XI 3.1 on windows 2008 server, can anybody tell me which service pack and fix I need to install for each product? When I looked under both product, there are so many of them. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Susan Johnson

I have done much testing over the past several months with BOE 3.1 and different patches. I've yet to find a combination that would allow us to be on a relatively recent patch level but that does not have a significant issue that support cannot resolve. We started with 3.1 and FixPack 1.8. This has actually been the most stable so far. We were planning to convert our production environment from XI r2 to 3.1 in August and thought it would be better to be on a more current patch level so we added SP2 and FixPack 2.6 on the advice of support. Just before beginning yet another round of testing for these additional patches, SP3 was released so we added that too. We then found a significant issue with scheduling Crystal reports that had both dynamic and static parameters. You can't enter the prompts because they don't display the correct LOV. Support advised that this issue was fixed with FixPack 2.7 so we installed it. It does indeed resolve the Crystal schedule issue but the issue returns if you install SP3. SP3 only includes up to FixPack 2.5 and whatever code was fixed in FixPack 2.7 was not rolled into SP3 so I would caution you against using that combination if you have Crystal reports with mixed parameter types and want to schedule them. We then removed SP3 and have most recently tried SP2 with FixPack 2.7. In this version, you cannot schedule Webi reports when going through one of the dashboard analytics (vs. the standard folder navigation). You get a 404 error when you try to populate the prompts. We have about 2,000 users that rely on a dashboard for navigation so needless to say, we can't go live with this issue. I would love to know what the best patch level is for 3.1 but I wouldn't recommend SP2 or SP3.

Difference between service pack and support pack

Hi,
what is the exact difference between service pack and support pack. Are they same?
The version details presnt in integration builder -> help-> inforamtion of my XI server are as follows :
Service pack: 09
Release: 645_VAL_REL
does it mean that the both support package and service package for my XI server are 09?
thanks in adavance
regards
Jagruthi

1. A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.

Service packs in 2004 and 2004s;
in 2004 - in 2004s

SP13 + 14 - SP05 http://PI 7.0
SP15 - SP06
SP16 - SP07

For the ABAP parts of usage type PI, this is the implementation of support packages. For the Java parts, the deployment with the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) is used.
You can find currently available support packages on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
A description of how to apply support packages is available in SAP Note 879289.

How can I confirm that I installed BO XI R2 SP3 and Fix Pack 3.5 correctly?

I installed both SP3 (Client Install) and Fix Pack 3.5 (Client Install) on my workstation. The Installation guide says it should appear in Add/Remove Programs, but I'm not seeing either entry. A log file was created for each install, is there anything within the logs that may say that the install was successful?

Under the Add/Remove programs section in the Control Panel. Select the Business Objects Application and there is a link that reads "Click here for support information"
The opened display box will display a Version such as 11.5.xxxxxx
Reply back w/ the version. SP# and 3.5 fix pack will be something like 11.5.9.1176

Difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack

Hello,
Can anyone throw some light on difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack(if there is any) and what is Tax Update Bulletins, do we need to configure for TUBs or what is the SAP HR consultants role is Tubs.
Thanks
Charlene

Hi,
I believe both (hot pack and support pack) are one and the same.
For TUBS, you can find more information in:
Service Marketplace -> SAP ERP Human Capital Management -> Country Info -> North America -> United States -> Tax Update Bulletins -> Tax Factory 8 -> Tub Downloads
Hope this helps,

How to find out the versions of family pack and mini pack installed?

There are family pack and mini pack for HRMS.
How to find out the versions of family pack and mini pack installed
just by a Unix command or sqlplus Select statement?
Thanks

you can get the Minipack version of the products by querying fnd_product_installations or ad_patchdriver_minipks, for family packs you need to query through Metalink, OR if you have u driver file which resides on $AY_TOP/discoverer, looks for the minipacks/familypack version in the driver file.

Anywhere to find newly added countries in enhancement pack and support pack

Our HR wants to proactively identify the new countries being introduced through enhancement pack and support pack, so configurations such as V_T503Z (country assignment for employee group/subgroup) can be updated accordingly.
How can I find such a list?
Thanks.
Joan

Hi Qiong
If you have ever tried downloading the notes delivered under CLC or HRSP for SAP-HR Component, you would see that the sub-component names are generally based on country abbreviations example PY-AU, PY-SG etc. Also the country names are mentioned there. So if any new country comes up you would know it from the sub-component name. However, whether you need to configure anything in your system for these new countries depends on the fact whether your client has operations in that country or not and whether your project is supporting that country operations for the client or not.
It is more likely that we keep checking the CLC and HRSP for any new functionalities introduced by SAP for the countries that we are supporting for the client instead of checking for new countries altogether.

Hello,
FP1 is now available and posted on the Business Objects download support site. You can access it here: <a href="https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm">https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm</a>

I have installed Xcelsius 2008with SP1 and the FP1.
The problem I have is with all the versions.
If I open Xcelsius and click on File -> Manage Add-ons.., I get the following error message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Xcelsius.exe
The application has requested the RunTime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please Contact the application support team for more information. OK.
Now after I click on OK, the computer completely freezes up and has to be restarted - with a hardware reset. Power Off and Back On.
I have the About screen with Xcelsius Version 5.0.0.99
Build Number 12,1,0,247
This occurs on a HP tablet AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72, Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 times, and still no luck.
The PC is less than a week old, and I am just configuring it and trying to ensure the software is functioning correctly.
During the restart of the PC, after I have requested restart windows normally, I get the message that flashes up sometimes, that states
441/441 / registry (or very similiar - it happens very fast)

What correct Service Pack and Fix Patch upgrade path?

I have installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. I have version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121. I am assuming this is the base installation.
There have been a number of packs and patches released. I need to if I have comprehended. Is sequence below correct:
1. Crystal Xcelsius 2008 u2013 Service Pack 1
2. Xcelsius 2008 SP1 Fix Pack 1
3. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 2
4. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 3
5. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 2
6. Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP2 Fix Pack 2.1
Other consideration:
I have heard much discussion about Xcelsius.msi. Is this file in (1) above and does (2) above require it to be available.
I am using Windows 7.0
Any other suggestion to avoid a painful process

Hi,
I'll answer some of your questions:
You can just install the base version and then SP2 + FP 2.1. No need to install SP1 and the related fix packs.
.msi is just an installer file - once you've installed Xcelsius this will not be used anymore.
I'm not sure that Xcelsius is supported on Windows 7.
Best regards,
Jacob

SP3 and Fix Pack 3.1 errors.

Hello,
I am using Xcelsius 2008 and I am having 2 problems here.
1st problem, I have tried to install the Service Pack 3.
After I install it, whenever I add a new Data Connection, the right screen (where it was supposed to be the data connection seetings) I got a blank screen which does not allow me to setup any data connection.
2nd problem, after I got this bug, I have tried to install the Fix Pack 3.1. And then comes the new problem, I got an error during the files extraction:
"CRC failed in package\XcelsiusPresent.msp
the file "???" header is corrupt"
Can anybody help me with these issues?
Regards,
Fabio

I have experienced exactly same issue - This issue is with Xcelsius Present but not with Xcelsius Enterprise. So I have uninstalled Xcelsius Present and have installed Xcelsius Enterprise SP3 and Fixpack 3.1
