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.

Sudha

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.

Business Object 3.1 Edge Series Installation Problem

I am doing the advance installation of Business Object 3.1 Edge series, in which i am using oracle database 10.2. I am getting this 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.

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

Hi,
What is the installation media you are using
*) if you ftp'd the software, please make sure you use 'bin" as the transfer mode.
*) If you have copied the disk contents, make sure, the contents are copied completely and there is no difference in the content.

Can't access CMC and infoview on BO edge series 3.1

Hello gurus,
I have just installed BO edge series 3.1, immediate moment after installation, I can open CMC console, but after I 've done other operation on the computor, CMC can't open now, also I can't open infoview, error shows " can't establish connection to server", but other features work well. how can I resolve this issue?
Many thanks,

Hi,
I will clarify following facts:
(1) I used "typical installation " for Edge3.1
(2) all are installed on windows XP
(3) I have restarted computor several time, CMC and infoview can't be launched either.
(4) other features work very well.
(5) after I installed Edge 3.1, CMC and infoview were reached for one time, after that, I installed crystal report 2008, this report designer can't be started, so unstalled it. then try to access CMC and infovew, it failed.
Many thanks,

Do I have to configure anything in advance?
Thanks,

BO Edge Series engine = BOE XI3.0??

Hi, i just wonder now BO has launch BOE XI3.0 and it has new features.
If i purchase BO Edge Series (formerly BOCD) now, is it come with XIR3.0 engine? such as in BOE XI3.0, it has "changes track" feature in WebI, is it feature come with in the new purchase of Edge series?
And can BO Edge series integrate with Crystal Report 2008 and XCelsius 2008?
Thanks!

Hi,
Is BusinessObjects Edge Series XI Release 3.0 is predecessor of BOBJ XI 3.1 Enterprise Server ?
BusinessObjects Edge Series XI Release 3.0 is predecessor of BusinessObjects Edge Series XI 3.1
BusinessObjects XI 3.0 Enterprise Server is predecessor of BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Enterprise Server
A simplified approach is the following:
XI 3.1 = XI 3.0 + Service Pack 1
Also, Once I install the BOBJ XI 3.1 Enterprise Server , I still need to install the following Client Tools separately :
XCelcius 2008,
Crystal Reports, Voyager,
Live Office 2008
If you are using the XI 3.1 server (either Edge or Enterprise) you have to download and install XCelcius 2008 V1, Crystal Reports 2008 V1 and Live Office XI 3.1
If you are using XI 3.0 (either Edge or Enterprise) you have to download and install XCelcius 2008 V0, Crystal Reports 2008 V0 and Live Office XI 3.0
Voyager is web-based and comes with the BO server installation. No need to download anything for this one.

Hi All,
Please clarify my following doubt,
We are migrating from BO 6.5 to BO XI 3.1 intergrating with our application.
I want to use the COM XI 3.1 SDK for the Desktop Intelligence. I did some code changes in the previous 6.5 SDK which we already used.
Say, I changed the LoginAs() method to Logon() in the C++ file.When I tried to create the .dll file using Visual Studio 6.0, I got the following error,
'Logon' is not the member of Application class.
From this message, I understood that, still Application class of BO 6.5 was used and not BO xi and some libraries were also missing.
Please correct me, if my understanding is wrong.
Where can I get the BO xi 3.1 com SDK for DESKI? When searched in SAP portal, I get only the API reference and Developer guides.
Thanks.

BO Edge Series 3.1 Trial Version - Add-on for SAP

Hi
I have downloaded the trial version for BO Edge Series 3.1 from
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
This version seems to be only for Non-SAP systems, i.e. it does not have the "BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Integration for SAP Solutions" Add-on.
Can someone please tell me where I can find a version I can use for SAP BI or just get the Add-on.
Thanks

Install Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in new Laptop with Windows 8, 64 Bit

Product Name - HP Laserjet 1200 Series, PCL 6 Driver
Operating System: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64 bit
Error Message : Can't find the 1200 Series on the Network. To locate manually click ok ....
Changes Made - This is an installation on new laptop, running Windows 8, 64 bit
Description:
1. Installing to an existing network, that consistedof a desktop and two wireless laptops.
2. Both Laptops have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above named printer is successfully accessed from the laptops.
3. Am replacing one of the laptops with the Windows 8 64 bit.
4. The Series 1200 path is: Wireless Printer to Router, Router to Desktop via ethernet, Desktop to Printer via cable.
5. The wireless printer configuration is
        Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
        Port: \\Central\HPLaserj
       Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
      Driver: HPMCPM25.GPD   5.8.2008
Problem
Unable to recreate this path with the Windows 8, 64 bit configuration.
a. When I attempt to download a current driver always wind up with a file entitled UPD-pcl6-x64-5.6.0.14430
     This appears to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, Can successfully unzip the file and create a folder
b. During installation I can see the the desktop printer ICON (name:\\central\HPLaserj); so far, so good
c. Process fails to locate a driver and instructs to manually locate.
d. Browsing to the HP Universal Driver Folders fails because a driver cannot be found .
e. Attempting to manuall enter fails because you cannot input the above address (\\central\HPlaserj). Can only enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.
f. When the installation did show a list of drivers, the only one I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought I was trying to download originally.
This set up worked successfully with the Windows 7 64 bit. It appears I need help from a lot more expertise than I have to walk me through this set up.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Problem Solved.
