BOBJ on Windows and SAP BW on Unix..

Hi All,
Can BOBJ installed on Windows communicate to BW installed on Unix ? Is that even possible using SAP integration Kit.
Thanks,
Puneet.

I don;t think we really care where it is. As long as we can connect to it using SAP GUI from the win box where BOE is installed, our software will connect to it as well.

    I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

    Yes, it's possible, but if your Windows system is on a Boot Camp partition then you have to first remove it. Then create however many partitions you want for the operating systems. You have OS X on one, so you need two more - one for Windows and one for Linux. You then install Windows and Linux separately to their respective partitions. Download rEFIt
    Use it as the replacement bootloader so you can properly boot from each OS properly.

  • SSO: SAPGUI users with MS-Activedirectory and SAP AS on UNIX

    Hello
    from previous posts, it looks like Unix based SAP installations are on the losing side here since there is no SAP based solution for SSO with SAPGUI and AD, investment into 3rd party products is needed.
    My Q. is: If I will install dialog server on windows and move SCS services include msg server to this thin dialog server, will this be sufficient to solve to SSO problems?
    the idea is just to solve the login stage and the user continue to word on unix based AS.
    what do you think?

  • Differences between AIX and Windows for SAP

    Dear All,
    I have a problem regarding SAP Software.We want to change our company software .First we order SAP On Windows with Oracle10g But Now We want SAP on AIX with Oracle10g.
    SAP delivered us software on Windows platform.
    Please Suggest me for this as what are the differences between the above two platforms and what are the differences between the above 2 platforms.
    Regards,
    Pankaj Kalsayan

    hi Pankaj,
    well, this is a very general question. perhaps you could specify a little more.
    in general i would see no difference regarding the end user sitting in front of his pc using sapgui.
    as far as i know all server side sap software is available for aix and windows (and many more).
    for administration on the other hand there is of course lots of difference. AIX is a UNIX operating system running on special hardware with power processors. it offers quit extensive virtualisation abilities using so called LPARs and supports real big number of CPUs and large RAM. Windows is a completly differnet operating system running mostly on x86/amd64 hardware.
    therefore you should also consider what know-how is available in your system administration.
    not shure if that is partly answering your question ...
    btw. if you are going forward with AIX you should perhaps consider switching oracle with db2. so you have a consistent IBM based landscape. also to me, sap and db2 seem to "like" each other more than sap and oracle

  • Display image in forms & reports developed on windows and deployed on Unix

    Hi,
    We are upgrading from Forms and reports 6i to forms10g.
    We need to insert image in forms and reports. Recompile and deploy on unix server.
    So can anyone let me know the exact steps to create jar file containing images, where to place the jar file.
    Corresponding folder, file and configuration changes required on windows and unix.
    Av.

    Hi Frank,
    thanks for the link it helped me in understanding how images work for forms.
    But my real concern is how this will work in reports?
    As we dont have any reportsweb.cfg nor any java path for reports?
    Can you help me in understanding how to embed image in reports that will be displayed even after porting the report on unix oas.
    Regards,
    Av.

  • Difference in performance of SBA between Windows and Unix

    Hi,
    I am using a  MSF routine which uses SBA to recursively search a sysbld suprerblock and its children to find a specific type block (in this case a ucb). It works fine on both Windows and Solaris Xmath. However, for very large models, there is a huge performance difference. I ran the algorithm on a model containing around 1000 superblock and 10000 blocks. Under Solaris (7.1.5) it takes around 30 seconds while under Windows XP (7.1.6) it takes more than 8 minutes.
    Any thoughts on the reason behind this difference.
    Thanks
    Farshid
    P.S. The MSF file is attached

    I'm aware I may get some flack for this statement.^^^Some. <grin>
    I'll give you the counter-argument. Those Unix shops with incredibly stable environments? Have you done a count of actually used applications? The ones that mimic the business' current needs? The ones that reflect the business', uh, business? Perhaps it's just the clients I interact with, but those often have a mixture of "dead" apps in with the live ones. I rarely see that with Windows and yes, the app count is sometimes crazy high on the Unix side -- certainly beyond what EAS can comfortably navigate (I was on a 9.2 environment once that had 200+ apps -- Shared Services was essentially broken at that site, but so was 9.2 in general.)
    Anyway, I've observed that IT tends not to do a terribly good job of producing flexible analytical applications. They are very good at stability, sustainability, security, and all sorts of other things Essbase (and other, especially transactional) environments must have. Until they become fossilized in their SOPs, their policies, and their requirements. At which point a different transformational technology that the business can control pops up -- heard of TM/1 lately? I am super curious (for all kinds of obvious reasons) to see where my beloved Essbase ends up in a few years.
    I'm not coming down on either side, just saying that I've seen this play out multiple times since the mid-1980s. While both sides have their merits, at the end of the day, if a super well maintained environment is just a monument to IT's ego, it's worthless. And yes, I have seen Windows environments that are just that.

  • Webutil usage on Windows and Unix clients - Host and Temp dir issues

    Hello,
    I am in the process of writing a Forms application which makes use of WebUtil to handle the uploading and downloading of files, as well as launching the files on the client PCs. The code below is my current 'Launch' program which works great in a Microsoft Windows environment. It gets the TEMP directory location, builds a file name, downloads the file to the TEMP directory and uses the Host command to launch the file.
    PROCEDURE Launch_DB IS
    l_directory varchar2(200) := client_win_api_environment.get_temp_directory(true);
    l_success boolean;
    BEGIN
    :file_block.full_file_name := l_directory || '\' || :file_block.file_name;
    l_success := webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_with_progress
    (clientFile => :file_block.full_file_name
    ,tableName => 'FILES
    ,columnName => 'FILE_DATA'
    ,whereClause => 'ID = ' || :file_block.id
    ,progressTitle => 'Download from Database in progress'
    ,progressSubTitle=> 'Please wait'
    if l_success then
    WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C "' || :file_block.full_file_name || '"');
    else
    exception
         when others then
         message('File download failed: '||sqlerrm);
    END;
    My problem is that I've just discovered that there's a new group of users that will want access to these forms, and they're using non-windows machines - mostly Solaris and Linux. As such, I have these problems:
    - " client_win_api_environment.get_temp_directory " is a Microsoft Windows specific function. Is there any way to determine a temporary storage area on a Unix machine?
    - " WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C "' || :file_block.full_file_name || '"'); " - CMD is Microsoft Windows specific function. What should I do to launch a file from Unix? (Sorry, my Unix skills are pretty minimal).
    - I'm guessing that I'll need to determine the operating system so that I can use different methods to determine the TEMP dir, and to execute the HOST command. Assuming that Microsoft Windows and Unix variants are the only OS's that I need to provide access to, what is the best way to determine the client environment ( eg. IF UPPER(WebUtil_ClientInfo.Get_Operating_System) like '%WINDOWS%' THEN ... ELSE ... END IF; ) . I only have access to Windows XP for testing so I don't know what values "WebUtil_ClientInfo.Get_Operating_System" will return for any other OS.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Regards,
    Michael.

    Hi,
    as far as launching the file goes, if teh program that runs the file exist on teh local computer, you can use teh host command in webutil to access teh program and file. CMD is what you use to open teh command line on windows, but the host command is supposed to work on the UNIX client as well.
    For the temp directory, you have two options
    The short term option: Pass the temporary directory name as a user variable to Forms when starting the application. This can be user specific if adding this information to the URL using teh otherparams parameter
    The longterm option: Log a TAR with Oracle customer support to add a function to teh getClientInfo function that retruns the temporary directory for the authenticated user.

  • SAP GUI for windows and HTML

    Hello,
    We have problem running a custom program, when it was integrated as Transactional iView with SAP GUI Type as SAP GUI for HTML.
    But, the same program is running fine with SAP GUI Type as SAP GUI for Windows.
    Is there any possibility to make some modifications to properties and make the SAP GUI for HTML working.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    We have a custom ABAP program, where we we can upload data through an excel file.
    The xls file can be uploaded from local drive.
    So, we have created a Transactional iView with SAP GUI Type as SAP GUI for HTML.
    When we try to run the program with an excel file, we are receiving an error message - "Empty input file or input file not found"
    Then we have created a Transactional iView with SAP GUI Type as SAP GUI for windows and was successful in uploading the xls file.
    Just want to understand, if there is any possibility to make some modifications to properties and make the SAP GUI for HTML working.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Problem between windows and unix

    i got a class and a text file whith characters like '�' in it.
    when i launch my class on windows there'no problem.
    The file is read and the data are record in Oracle correctly (whith the accents).
    When i copy the data and the class on unix i got '?' instead of '�' in Oracle.
    Can anybody know why i got this problem ?

    The default character encoding on your unix machine seems to support only ascii characters .
    I recommend the following.
    Open the text file in notepad . Do a "save as" . At this point set the encoding as "UTF-8" .
    Transfer this file to the unix m/c.
    When you run your java class , specify the default encoding for jVM as UTF8
    This can achieved by specifying
    java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 class
    Hope this helps.

  • How to automate the alias between Windows AD and SAP accounts

    I have authentication working where I can logon via SSO with Windows AD authentication and still get to SAP BW via SAP SNC.  In getting this to work I had to manually create an alias between the Windows AD account and th SAP Account.  We will have thousands of users in our Business Objects environment with users coming and going each day.  I have not found a way to automate the creation of the alias.  There must be some way to do this, since this seems like it would be a common need for customers that want to access both SAP and non SAP resources in Business Objects.  Has anyone found a way to automate the creation of the aliases?  Our user ids are the same in Windows AD and SAP, so it doesn't seem like this should be that difficult, but I can't figure this out.

    Thanks for the response.  That was helpful.  I had seen something similar is SAP Note 1269228, but that note did not mention the registry key setting.  These seems like a fairly common request.  Is built in support for this planned in XI 3.2 or XI 4?  The reason I ask about the feature being included in future releases, is because we may hold off on taking the time to develop a script if this is soon to be part of the software. 
    Also, if anyone has already created a script to do this, I would be inteterested in knowing how you scripted this.  How do you handle adds/removes of either SAP Authentication or Windows AD Authentication for a user?  How do you handle adds or deletes of whole users?

  • MMC hangs on Windows 2008 and SAP MMC console not coming up

    Hi All,
    We are running SAP CRM 7. After upgrading Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2, SAP is coming up on our J2ee engine. We are able to login to the SAP J2ee application, but SAP MMC hangs. After the reboot, SAP MMC does come up but it hangs while starting the SAP Server Processes. We have to close the MMC from CTRL-ALT-DEL (end process). After that SAP MMC does not come up. Although, we can number number of MMC.EXE running in task manager,but
    the SAP MMC window is not displayed.
    We have gone through OSS note Note 1326097 - SAP MMC Snap-In crash for certain operations and installed the new version of MMC. But still the error exists. Also, we have installed the VCREDLIST patch and have installed all the DLLs mentioned in OSS SS Note 684106 - Microsoft runtime DLLs.

    Hello,
    Try to re-create (re-register) the SAP Services (SAP instance services) in services.msc list. Then try to put SAP MMC up.
    Or, after recreation of sap instance services, try to reconfigure the sap mmc as well -

  • String.getBytes (java) o/p different in Windows and Unix

    Hi,
    I was trying out the following code, which gives me a byte array from a
    String object.
    byte[] bytArr = null;
    bytArr = <String object>.getBytes("UnicodeBigUnmarked");
    System.out.println(bytArr.toString());
    The output is different in Windows and in Unix. The assumed that the reason could be because Intel architecture is based on little_endian so the difference in output. I changed the code to the following
    bytArr = <String object>.getBytes("ISO8859_1");
    and then ran the class file by using "java -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1" so that the toString can also take the character encoding of ISO8859_1 rather than using the platform dependent one. Still the result is different in Windows and Unix.
    What could be the reason for this? How can I correct this ? Any help in this regard is welcome.
    cheers
    kk

    Hi Sabre150,
    Thanks for the suggestion, it worked. Both the o/p shows the same if I use System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytArr));
    I am assigning full points to you. Thanks a ton for the help.
    To end with I have one more question, the method Arrays.toString is introduced from jdk1.5, so if I want to use jdk 1.4 what should I use instead of Arrays.toString ?
    It would be great if I can get this answer.
    cheers

  • Compiling reports6i on Windows and Unix

    Hi Friends,
    I'm compiling reports6i on windows by opening the browser window online. But to my confusion when I run and save the report program, I only see the .rdf extension of the file. I just thought the executable version is .rep , so I thought I will see also this file type. My question is can the report program run without the .rep extension file?

  • How to find cd rom drive in windows and unix platform using java program

    Hi,
    I am having the requirement of finding the cd rom drive
    using java program. I do not know the label and which
    one is the cd rom drive. also I want to know how many
    cd rom drives are there on my system. I want the solution
    for windows and unix platforms.
    If have any suggestions please mail to [email protected]
    Deepak

    Ughhh.. I had the same problem with multi platform file-system detection
    First off - Unix.
    Do you know for sure you have all your drives mounted?? This could be a big problem because java will not see unmounted drives... So you can scour thru your /etc/fstab to find out which drives are available... or you can mount all and show roots... (Yuck!)... You've got timeouts and all sorts of things to worry about...
    I would then shy away from the java.io.File.listRoots() on unix and rely on parsing your fs file. If a user would like to see the medium in the drive. Do a Runtime.exec and mount the drive, then you can grab the filesystem by wrapping it in the java.io.File object. ( NOTE - this will hold well for your NFS mounts as well which might be buried under other FS. So you now have detection for that as well. ) Labels are also noted in this file. Let me know if you don't know the difference between mtab and fstab....
    Second - Winders.... Corney but I love saying that.
    The listRoots is a good solution. As others have said CD-ROMS will not be writable. Use a combination of getName and getPath to decipher the label and mount point.
    Hope this helps!
