BO Edge Series, CR2008, Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 installation question

Hi,
I have referred "BO and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 1 of 4" and all other parts of Blogs by Ingo Hilgefort. I have downloaded the software required for installation and followed the steps to install all of the software. However, I had some issues after the installation.
First - I am installing the Edge series on Windows Vista Enterprise, service pack 1; 32bit OS. While reading the minimum requirements I had assumed that we can install the Edge series on the Vista laptop. I have not installed any database server before Edge series installation -
So, do I need to install any Database like MS SQL server/ database before the edge series installation?
I have no problem in following the steps in the blog series by Ingo until part 4:
SAP Java Connector:
The SAP Java Connector is being leveraged from BusinessObjects Edge and the SAP Integration Kit as part of the SAP Authentication plug-in in the Central Management Console.+
You can download the SAP Java Connector from the service marketplace (http://service.sap.com/connectors).
I am downloading the version 2.1.8
After unzipping the Java Connector download, I copy the file sapjco.jar to the shared library folder of the application server (in my example : \Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib)
+and the file sapjcorfc.dll to %windir%\system32.
I could not find the path "\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib" and "%windir%\system32" to add the files specified above.
Do I need to install the Tomcat first before the Edge series installation or it comes with the installation of the Edge series?
Please note that after completing all the installation except the above Java files - I could see:
1. BW Publisher Service 12 (Manages a pool of Crystal Report publishers) - which I have trouble starting this server
2. Server Intelligence Agent (Manages BO Enterprise Servers) - No problem starting this server
3. WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service (WinHTTP implements the client HTTP stack and provides developers with a Win 32 API and COM Automation component for sending HTTP requests and receiving responses. In addition, WinHTTP provides support for auto-discovering a proxy configuration via its implem....) - I could start the server but stops automatically
I could not open the "Central Management console" and other tools under Programs->BO Edge series
Appreciate any suggestions on this. I am even ready to give a second try starting from begining if one could point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Sudha

Thanks Andy. Yes we have already installed Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 in client machine and published some dashboards in Infoview. I just want to make sure whether my approach is right (not installing Xcelsius in Server).
Becasue I have a concern how the data level securtity (authorization) in Xcelsius Dashboard for different users will take care if we don't install Xcelsius in Server.
Thanks

Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 Installation need in BO server?

Hi All,
We have got Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 license. Our goal is to create dashboard by Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 and view through BO Infoview.
Do we need to install Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 in Business Objects Server? I think Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 is a client tool, so we don't need to install in Business Objects Server. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks
Jai

There will be another announcement for Xcelsius Present 2008 Service Pack 2 when it is released...
Please make sure you download the zip file and extract it to your hard drive before attempting to install.

When you are upgrading a previous Xcelsius 2008 installation you need access to your original Xcelsius 2008 SP1 installation files from the original location otherwise you will be prompted to locate Xcelsius.msi from the original Xcelsius 2008 SP1 installation (in the SP1 installation packages folder).

Thanks in advance.

Yes the Enterprise version requires 3.0. For exploration purposes, you can download 2008 enterprise version and run it standalone on your desktop, you just won't be able to store your dashboards to the BOE repository and you won't have the Query as a Web Service to be able to create queries against a universe for Xclesius ot use.
After installing, make sur eyou apply Fix Pack 1.3 for it.

Xcelsius Engage 2008 installation error - office xp required

I'm install a new machine, moving my applications from Vista to 7.
On the new system i've already installed Office 2010..
I am trying to install Xcelsius Engage 2008 and recieve the following error msg's:
1. Office XP application: Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint must be pre-installed. Higher versions work fine. (Clicked "OK")
2. Installation ended prematurely because of an error. (Clicked "OK")
In older discussions Office 2010 is not mentioned and i don't want to install an older version like Xp or 2003 on this clean system. Could anybody help me? Thanks
ps: obviously i've tried to launch setup of SP1 and SP3 without success.

i've modify the register like you write but without success, same error occurs..
i've tried either c:\program files than c:\program files (x86) because i'm running Windows 7 x64
ps: i solved with a compromise, installing office 2003 (only powerpoint) , installing Xcelsius with SPs and then removing office 2003.. it seems to run

BusinessObjects Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 not found

Hi,
Recently i installed BusinessObjects Enterprise 3.1 on Oracle10g. Installation was successful and consulatants started working on it. BI Consultant needs to work on Xcelsius, but Xcelsius is not found in the BO client, is it required to download and install the Xcelsius 2008 separately? Please let me know from where i can download the Xcelsius 2008 and install the same in client machine.
Regards,
Ranjith

HI Ranjith,
You can install Xcelsius on your client system and use it as required. Xcelsius is not part of BusinessObject Enterprise and should be installed separately.
You can install the xcelsius trial version (possibly engage server) available on SAP site and achieve the required.
Good Luck!!!
Cheers.

BO Edge Series Installation on Laptop?

Hi,
I have installed BO Edge Series, CR2008, Xcelsius Enterprise 2008, Live Office 2008 etc., with reference to "BO and SAP - Installation and Configuration Part 1, 2, 3 and 4" Blogs by Ingo Hilgefort. I have downloaded the software required for installation and followed the steps to install all of the software.
My system config: Laptop with Windows Vista Enterprise, service pack 1; 32bit OS.
However, I had some issues after the installation.
1. I am installing the Edge series on Windows Vista Enterprise, service pack 1; 32bit OS. While reading the minimum requirements I had assumed that we can install the Edge series on the Vista laptop.
I have not installed any database server before Edge series installation - So, do I need to install any Database like MS SQL server/ database before the edge series installation?
2. I have no problem in following the steps in the blog series by Ingo Hilgefort until part 4: SAP Java Connector:
Per Ingo Hilgefort blog - The SAP Java Connector is being leveraged from BusinessObjects Edge and the SAP Integration Kit as part of the SAP Authentication plug-in in the Central Management Console. You can download the SAP Java Connector from the service marketplace (http://service.sap.com/connectors). I am downloading the version 2.1.8 After unzipping the Java Connector download, I copy the file sapjco.jar to the shared library folder of the application server (in my example : \Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib) and the file sapjcorfc.dll to %windir%\system32.
Here I could not find the path "\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib" and "%windir%\system32" to add the files specified above.
Do I need to install the Tomcat first before the Edge series installation or it comes with the installation of the Edge series?
Please note that after completing all the installation except the above Java files - I could see below in the CMC:
- BW Publisher Service 12 (Manages a pool of Crystal Report publishers) - I have trouble starting this server
- Server Intelligence Agent (Manages BO Enterprise Servers) - No problem starting this server
- Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service(WinHTTP) - I could start the server but stops automatically
Appreciate any suggestions on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Does the BO Edge Server installation will automatically install MYSQL, Java App Server and Tomcat or do I need to download them separately and install before starting BO Edge Server installation?
>>> Yes the BusinessObjects installation will install the MySQL and TOMACT automatically. These are choices during the installation routine.

BO Edge Series installation Error

Hi,
I tried to install the evaluation version of BO Edge Series...during the installation it gave me follwing error:-
The Procedure entry point ?terminate@Slogger@CXLib400@@SA_NXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library cxlbw-4.0dll.
Can anyone please help.

Hi
BO Edge is officially supported only on Windows Server 2003 and 2008. I assume you have tried to install on another version of Windows. I would recommend to try it on a windows Server installation.

BO 3.1 after Xcelsius 2008 installation

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with BO 3.1 environment after Xcelsius 2008 installation. When i try to open Webi reports in InfoView (which worked fine before the installation), "Cannot execute this operation: a valid license was not found (Error: INF)" message appears.
I have applied licence codes from partner's temporary license files (Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise license and BO 3.1 Enterprise license).
I tried to unistall Xcelsius to prevent Webi reports from crashing but after that CMS is not able to start. Actually Configuration Manager shows that it works just fine but there is not a possibility to log on to it.
Anyone have some suggestions regarding this issue
PS. my system is Windows 2008 Server.
Best regards
Wojtek Materna

Thanks for the quick response Wojtek!
However, reinstallation of Xcelsius didn't work for me and removing it only made things worse so now I have redone the whole BOXI 3.1 installation and things seems to work so far. It was only a demo server so it wont be to much hassle getting content back.

I am trying to install client tools sp3, and it is hanging, and never actually starts the installation.
