Add an SAP entitlement system to BusinessObjects Enterprise

Hello Experts,
On my logon Cmc screen logon I see in the weblist, all authentication method:
-Entreprise
-Windows AD
-LDAP
-SAP
I'm connect to the Cmc with the account Administrator with the authentication "Entreprise". Go to "Authentication" on management area of the CMC and I don't see the SAP link. I see only this:
-Entreprise
-LDAP
-Windows AD
-Windows NT
I use the ddl files and jco from the zip file named "sapjco-ntintel-2.1.9.zip" downloaded from http://service.sap.com/connectors.
I placed the librfc32.dll and sapjcorfc.dll into those directory:
-C:\Windows\System32
-D:\BOXI31_WS61\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
And the sapjcorfc.jar into:
D:\BOXI31_WS61\WebSphere\AppServer\lib, and create variable environement CLASSPATH.
Why I can't see the SAP link ?
Thx in advance.
Best Regards.

Hello Ingo,
I use Websphere 6.1. After the installation of the SAP IK (sucessfully installed) I used wdeploy. For more details I did it:
To deploy web applications on IBM WebSphere:
To deploy BusinessObjects Integration for SAP Solutions web applications after installation, you must use the wdeploy found in the installdir\deployment folder instead of the standalone wdeploy.
1. Ensure that you have deployed the SAP Java Connector as described in
SAP Java Connector on page 53.
2. Ensure that your CLASSPATH environment variable includes the sapj
co.jar archive file.
See SAP Java Connector on page 53 for details.
3. Manually deploy the BusinessObjects XI Integration Solutions for SAP
web applications using wdeploy found under INSTALLDIR\deployment.
a. Move to businessobjects_root\BusinessObjects12.0\java\applications\, and use the following command to package the WAR files:
"businessobjects_root\javasdk\bin\jar.exe" cf CmcApp.war -C
"businessobjects_root\BusinessObjects Enterprise
12.0\warfiles\WebApps\CmcApp" .
"businessobjects_root\javasdk\bin\jar.exe" cf SAP.war -C
"businessobjects_root\BusinessObjects Enterprise
12.0\warfiles\WebApps\SAP" .
"businessobjects_root\javasdk\bin\jar.exe" cf InfoViewApp.war -C
"businessobjects_root\BusinessObjects Enterprise
12.0\warfiles\WebApps\InfoViewApp" .
66 BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide
4 Installing BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installing on Windows
"businessobjects_root\javasdk\bin\jar.exe" cf OpenDocument.war -C
"businessobjects_root\BusinessObjects Enterprise
12.0\warfiles\WebApps\OpenDocument" .
"businessobjects_root\javasdk\bin\jar.exe" cf dswsbobje.war -C
"businessobjects_root\BusinessObjects Enterprise
12.0\warfiles\WebApps\dswsbobje" .
"businessobjects_root\javasdk\bin\jar.exe" cf
PartnerPlatformService.war -C "businessobjects_root\ BusinessObjects
Enterprise 12.0\warfiles\WebApps\PartnerPlatformService" .
b. Open the config.WAS_Type file (for example, config.webSphere6) located under installdir\deployment, set the parameters
appropriate for your environment, and save the file.
For more information about config file parameters, see the u201CDeploying applications after installationu201D chapter of the Web Applications Deployment Guide.
c. Navigate to the installdir\deployment folder, and use the following command to redeploy related BusinessObjects Enterprise web applications.
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=CmcApp -Das_admin_pass
word=<your password here> undeploy
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=CmcApp -Das_admin_pass
word=<your password here> deploy
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=InfoViewApp -Das_admin_pass
word=<your password here> undeploy
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=InfoViewApp -Das_admin_pass

word=<your password here> undeploy
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=dswsbobje -Das_admin_pass
word=<your password here> deploy
d. Use the following command to deploy SAP web applications.
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=SAP -Das_admin_password=<your
password here> deploy
wdeploy.bat webSphere6 -DAPP=PartnerPlatformService -
Das_admin_password=<your password here> deploy

Hi Ingo
It was yesterday, I can not enter to SAP Authentication, this link did not work, the other links open the applications without problem. I did click and clikc with the mouse and this link do not open anything.
But now I have another problem, last night restarted all machine, and now I have this error, when I am trying to enter CMC
Error: Server solar:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
I have verified CCM and it is working. two days ago I solved this problem. I deleted #SQL_7C4_0.MYD file from C:\WINDOWS\Temp
Later CMC works very well, but now I did the same but it does not work.
The error in Event Viewer is
Node Name: solar]
[User Name: SYSTEM]
[Error null] Server Intelligence Agent has lost its connection to the CMS cluster but will continue to attempt to reconnect. Please verify that the CMSs in your cluster are running.

Hello,
I'm new to BusinessObjects Enterprise.
I have a Access Database locally on my machine. I want to add this database to the BusinessObjects Enterprise server, so others can access the crystal reports that I have created out of this Access database.
What should I do to accomplish this task?
Please provide me some help
Thank you

Thanks for your quick response.
My local Access database is not accessible from the server. so where should I place the DB? in the server itself?
and then create a ODBC connection to it?
please advice

BOE SAP Entitlement System Error

Hi All,
I have installed BOE EDGE XI 3.0 and SAP integration kit and SAP JCO connector.
I am trying to configure SSO as per the blog below:
BusinessObjects and SAP - Configure SAP Authentication
When I try to access the SAP System from the Authentication area I get the error. I have deployed the JCO file (sapjco.jar) to the directory
C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsTomcat55commonlib
and the dll to C:windowssystem32.
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thanks!

message /SAP/jsp/auth/sapsec_logsys.faces
description The requested resource (/SAP/jsp/auth/sapsec_logsys.faces) is not available.

I have the same issue when using mini-BOE.
The baisc reason should be Integration kit is not installed properly, which lead to the missing of certain file.
404 error means missing file.
JCO sapjcorfc.dll and sapjco.jar should be copid to the right position before install integration kit.
During integration kit, we should choose custom, then select install all featuers, which definitly include the missing file.
Fincally the issue was solved.

SAP Authentication - Entitlement systems

Hi Team,
We designed all the reports with one OLAP Connection, Its mapped to SAP - ECC Entitlement systems
Now, we need one more report with data level filter for specific users. So, We are planning to achieve this at BW cube level for specific users, which are created in BW system.
So, for this we need to comeup with one more OLAP Connection to the BW system and other SAP Entitlement systems for BW configurations.
Clarifications:
Is this possible to maintain the two SAP entitlement systems?
Can we maintain these two sytems default for users login?
Do we need to add one more key store? if yes, can we upload two keystores in options?
Could you please help me out from these questions?
Regards,
Krishna

Hello,
please see your answers.
1. Yes it is
2. No, only one System can be teh default. For the other the user has to type the SID and Client manually into the Login Page
3. No, you only need one Keystore. You need to import the same certificate, that you used for your first SAP System, into the second SAP System.

Cannot add BW SAP system in CMC Authentication\Entitlement System

Hi,
I've re-installed Edge XI 3.1 SP3, Explorer/Polestar SP2 and finally SAP Integration Kit SP3 on Windows 2008 & SQL Server 2008 after a consultant came onsite to do this 4 months ago. I wanted the practice and its a pilot installation only.
I cannot seem to add my SAP BW Dev system to the Entitlement system from within the CMC - Authentication - SAP section however. I 've got the .dll's in the right places, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Integration Kit. restarting the Tomcat server, etc to no avail. I've also had a read of Ingo's blog and am sure I've followed all his steps correctly.
Can this only be a case of not following the installation correctly or am I missing something else? Any help appreciated please.
Thanks.

Hi,
I've had success in getting the Entitlement System connected.
Basically on top of completely uninstalling everything SAP and BO related, renaming folders to .OLD and rebooting, then installing Edge and SAP GUI....I then followed these steps before installing Integration Kit:
To install InfoView automatically, you must install and configure SAP Java Connector components:
To do this, copy librfc32.dll and librfc32u.dll, to the appropriate folder.
u2022 On 32-bit Windows: %windir%\system32
u2022 On 64-bit Windows: %windir%\sysWOW64
Copy sapjcorfc.dll to <BusinessObjects install directory ..\win32_x86.
Then copy sapjco.jar to the application serveru2019s shared library folder. For example, on a 64-bit Windows system with Tomcat 5.5, copy sapjco.jar to H:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib
N.B. Had to create folder shared\lib in H:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Tomcat55.
Rebooted.
This is similar to and in addition to Ingo's steps, however he does refer to the Integration Install guide, which is where the above is mostly taken from.
I could then UPDATE the new BW Dev system from the CMC and then see all available roles.
Thanks for your prompt advice and support Ingo.

Error: There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise

I am trying to use Crystal Reports Enterprise XI 4.0 with BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 using a Bex Query on an SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SPS 9 BW system. I have been using the SAP Press book u201CIntegrating SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.x with SAP NetWeaveru201D as my guide, attempting to follow it step by step. Please bear with me as I have only started working with this set of products within the last month. (Very new at this and do not have a very good grounding of the way it all works together. Trying to learn as quickly as possible as I am expected to support this set of tools for our developers / users.)
I have been trying to follow along with the book to get everything connected. At this point, I have BOE set up to attach to the SAP NetWeaver BW system. I have created a test Bex Query on the BW system. From within BOE, using CMC, I can configure the Bex Query as an OLAP connection. I have set it up for SSO. I have also exchanged certificates between the BOE and the SAP NetWeaver systems which I believe will allow the exchange of tokens.
I then go into Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0 on my PC. (I am running Windows 7 64-bit on the PC. I installed the BOE 4.0 suite of client tools except for SAP BO Live Office and SAP BO Analysis for MS Office). I can attach to my BOE system and can browse to see the OLAP connections in the BOE. I then try to select one as the data source for a new report. I then get a pop-up window stating:
   Unable to Logon
     There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
       Please check your logon credentials and make sure your network is properly configured before trying again. If the problem
       persists please contact your Administrator.
I cannot find a log / trace / error file on my PC, the BOE system or the BW system to indicate any additional information as to what the root problem is. Has anyone seen a similar error and might know where I can find more information, how to increase trace levels so that I get some additional information or provide hints as to what the root problem might be?
I am also trying to figure out how the authentication works between the PC, BOE and SAP NetWeaver. If using a token, there has to be consistency with the username (or some value) and I am not certain that is happening. Right now, my BOE sources its UME from the SAP NetWeaver BW system. So its user accounts are in the form SID123/ACCOUNT where SID is the SID of the SAP NetWeaver system and the string u201C123u201D is the client on that SID. When I log into the BOE system from within Crystal Reports, I am using the account in that format whereas the account on the SAP NetWeaver BW system in actuality is only the string ACCOUNT. So is the token stripping the string u201CSID123/u201D from the account name when it is sent so that the accounts match? Or do I have to manually configure some kind of account alias (in the BOE system?) so that the two recognize each other? Or something else?
Any hints or ideas around where I can find additional information or where I have gone wrong, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you in advance,
Deb Nugent.

Henry,
Many thanks and excellent suggestions. But I am still not able to get this to work and (once again) am stuck.
RE: Server Connections: When I check my server connection, I have not ticked SSL and am using the non-secure server port for my BOE system. When I click on u201CTest connectionu201D, I can successfully log in using my username / password on the SAP NetWeaver BW system. If I tick the SSL box without changing the port, I get the error message u201CFailed to establish a connection. The cause was u201CCannot connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise at this time. Please try again later.u201D If I tick the SSL box and change the port to use the secure server port for the BOE system, I get the same error.
RE: Preferences: I am using the default settings under Preferences -> Network Settings. We do not manually configure proxy settings on our network so I have ticked u201CUse system proxy configurationu201D and under SSL settings, have ticked u201CUse system keystore / trust storeu201D. I have swapped keys between the BOE system and the SAP NetWeaver system but I have not swapped any keys between my PC and the BOE system or the SAP NetWeaver system (which I do not expect to do but am mentioning here in case I am wrong).
RE: BILaunchPad: I do not have any references for BILaunchPad. Is this u201CWeb Intelligence Rich Clientu201D? If so, I tried starting it, it reported an error: u201CAn error occurred at session creation.u201D Details showed u201CSSL mode is being requested but the following argument(s) are not present: passphrase (FWM 01012)u201D I went into the CMC and checked my SAP connections under Authentications. On the tab u201COptionsu201D, there is the section u201CSAP SSO Serviceu201D where I typed in the KeyStore password. When I created the key store file, I only specified a keystore password and did not specify a private key. Originally, I had it set with the private key blank with the correct password on the keystore. I also tried entering the same password as the private keystore and saving it. I verified that the connection services for Web Intelligence had restarted but I still am getting that same message when I try to start the Web Intelligence Rich Client.
At OS level on the BOE server, I logged in as my boe1 account and checked the parameters that can be entered for the PKCS12Tool.jar file that I used to create the ketstore file I had used. There does not appear to be an option for anything other than the keystore password. There is no private key password field listed.
I searched for the FWM 01012 error and found the HTML and PDF help files form SAP explaining errors. However, it only states u201CEnsure that all SSL arguments are presentu201D but gives no details as to what, exactly needs to be checked.
I will be talking with co-workers today to see if any of them can make sense of this (anoterh set of eyes sometimes helps). Any other suggestions about areas to look for addiitonal details / increased traces / logs?

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0

Hi Expert,
I'm going to install SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 on my virtualized system (vmware) composed as: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition R2 + Tomcat. I have some doubts related to the DB version to choose.
Due to the fact that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express is bundled with SAP BOE 4.0 I want to use this DB.
However, I saw in the Microsoft Portal that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/compare.aspx) that:
Number of CPUs     1
Maximum memory utilized     1 GB
Maximum database size     10 GB
These my doubts:
1) Could these characteristics generate performance issues for a production environment?
2) Which is a typical DB size for a production enviroment? could be greater then 10 GB?
3) Can I use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express in a virtualized system (vmware)?
Thanks in advance for collabortion
regards
gio'

Hi Gio
Remember that the BOE system database (or repository) only has a few tables in it, with really one main table that stores a reference to each folder, report, user, group, server, etc. on the system. So the table and the database itself do not grow very large. In the past year, we have done over 70 SAP BusinessObjects projects and I can't recall one where the database size would even approach 5GB in total, let alone 10GB.
The reason for this is that the database only stores a reference to the physical objects and content within BOE-- the actual reports, universes, etc. are stored on the file system within the Input and Output file repository folders.
And the memory constraints are not really an issue either with BOE-- the database itself does not come under much strain during the day-to-day operation of the server. If you believe that the memory may be an issue, you can always start with SQL Server 2008 Express and then using the new tools in the 4.0 CMC to monitor the memory usage on the server. If you need to, you can move the system database to another SQL Server edition, or alternately move the database to another one of the supported platforms, including Oracle, DB2, etc.
Hope this helps!
regards
David

Hardware Requirements - SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit

Experts,
We are going to prototype Xcelsius and Analysis on SAP BI data. For this reason we are going to implement the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit. As in we are getting a trial version from SAP. We have built a SAP BI Client 7 with ehancement pack 1 SP6 on a AIX server.
Do you know whether we need addiotional hardware to install the BO software. I presume one needs an application server of some sort? What is best practice in this, machine wise, operating system etc?
Though there is a lot of documentation availbale on the web, I cant find a simple server architecture.
I am useing the following documents as a guide, it says BO 3.0 but also relevant for 3.1 I presume?

Migration from BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x to SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1

hi,
I am in a migration from 6.5 to XI 3.1. I have a question about it, when you do the migration with import wizard, first you have to have installed XI 3.1.
I was thinking that you could export the .BIAR file with Import Wizard connected to 6.5 and the next step could be import to XI 3.1.
I tell you that because I tried the migration. In the source I put the BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x and in the destination environment the wizard asked me only for a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1.
Regards,
Paulina Villacis

Hi
You can migrate from live 6.x system to live 3.1 system.
For more details refer "Importing Information From BusinessObjects 5.x or 6.x" section(pa ge number 26) in http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_importwiz_en.pdf.
