BOE Enterprise XI v 3.1 Upgrade

When doing an simple upgrade from BOE XI to BOE XI 3.1, is it necceesary to stop all of the XI services first. According to the Upgrade Guide it is neccessarry to stop the web server but I do not see anything about stopping the BOE services (FileStore Input, CMC, etc)

The patch installer will send a stop command to all services except the web/app servers.
Since it's just as easy to stop all servers as just the web/app from the CCM I would reccommend stopping everything, verifying that none of the services are left running in task manager or process explorer, then install the patch.
The reasoning is if a process hangs the patch installer would continue. It's just an extra step to insure a safe install. Also stopping backup software, and virus scanners can help speed things up as well. It's up to you though.

Windows 7 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 upgrade consumer edition

Hi,
It might be a silly question but I'd like to know if it's possible to upgrade from a Windows 7 Enterprise computer to a Windows 8.1 consumer license. I mean the regular not the Pro edition.
I am currently running W7 Enterprise 64Bit and I bought an ESD version of Windows 8.1 and I went through the download process but once I try to move on to the installation it just wont run. It doesn't show any error but the installation setup just
disappears.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Alex.

if you really plan to use Windows 8.1 enterprise in future you can upgrade to Windows 8.1 enterprise preview
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-8-1-enterprise
but rather than made a risk, I suggest you just download full ISO and installed it on separate drive and have dual boot OS configuration, for some cases you maybe not able to revert back to Windows 7 enterprise after the upgrade to Windows 8.1 enterprise
preview. So make it safe and clean

Using BOE Enterprise Scheduler with Sap BODI?

Hi,
I am under the impression that you can use the BOE Enterprise Scheduler to schedule BODS jobs. Can you also use the BOE Enterprise Scheduler to schedule BODI jobs? Is there someplace I can get some documentation on how to integrate the BOE Scheduler with BODI and/or BODS? I haven't been able to find any yet...
Thanks in advance!
Mike

you can open the technical manuals from Designer

Hi,
Following information might be helpful for resolving the issues.
Please login into CMC and make sure all Performance Management servers are Enabled and Started.
- Then, verify the Initialization User
1. On your performance management server, open the InitConfig.properties file and verify that the Initialization user name and password match those in the CMS.
This file is at:
<INSTALLDIR>/bobje/performance_management_120
The strings to search for are:
initialization.User=
initialization.Password=
2. Log into InfoView, and then click the Preferences button on the InfoView toolbar.
3. Click the Performance Management tab, and then check the name of the initialization logon user in the Change initialization logon user section is the same as the user name specified in the InitConfig.properties file.
4. Log into the Log into the CMC, and then click Users.
5. Check that the user defined in the InitConfig.properties is listed among the users.
6. From the CMC home page, click Settings > Rights and check that the initialization user has the appropriate rights.
You need to restart the performance management servers.
7. From the CMC home page, click Servers > Start Servers to restart all
servers.
If you are using performance management from a client machine - different from the machine hosting the performance manager server - you need to restart your computer.
I hope this should resolve the issue.

Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 Financial Reporting upgrade path

We are currently using Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 Financial Reporting and would like to know what the upgrade path is to the most recent version.
What is the most recent version and can our current version be upgraded directly to it, or will the latest version need to be installed on the same server or a different server?
Let me know.
Thanks.

The latest version for Financial Reporting available is EPM 11.1.2.2.
You may need to migrate first to 9.3.3 or 11.1.3.3 and then move to 11.1.2.2 which is the upgrade path.
You could refer the documentation for 11.1.2.2 in the following link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_1.htm
For 9.3.x : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/welcome.html
For 11.1.1.x : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/index.htm
Hope this helps...

Java Portal and BOE Enterprise installed on Windows

Hi,
New System install
2 - CMS installs with supporting services (page, cache, job, etc) are all installed on a windows 2003 server
2 Web Component adapters, including .net SDK are installed on the web server - Windows 2003 Server with IIS
My .net application are all using the sdks and are calling opendocument to view reports. Everything is good here.
I have one application that was built in house and is in Java and uses portal/portlets. I dont know much about Java and how this was done but in the current evnironment all the services were installed on solaris.
I have been asked to figure this out since the original Server architect is no longer here the java developer that created the portlet is no longer here.
Can you guys/gals point me in the right direction to get this last application working.
THanks

Do I deploy businessobjectsportal.war on the application that has the portal?
Or does this need to be on the servers where BO is installed?
Please help if you can. thanks

Search Service Application problems after upgrading from Foundation to Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013

Hi all. I have been searching for days for a solution to a problem I am having with SP2013 Enterprise edition.
We recently upgraded from SP2013 Foundation to SP2013 Enterprise. After the upgrade, the search services are no longer working and we are receiving many application log entries indicating the following:
Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (ea2019ef-bb9e-4efe-85ee-5d2307406f31).
Reason: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

as well as:

at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)
I have tried to remove the search service application and recreate it, and even though the SharePoint Central Administration states that it was created successfully, I am still getting the same errors in the log. If I go to the Search Service Application
Search Administration page, the "System Status" shows the following message:
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '0359af35-0982-4ede-8838-b1d390e915bf' in search application 'Search Service Application' is in a good state and
try again
Additionally, under the "Search Application Topology" section, it states "Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running" which I assume is normal if the admin is not
running.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Joaquin,
According to your description, the error occurred when you re-created the Search Service Application.
Based on the error message, I recommend to verify the things below:
   1. Check if the association between the Search Service Application proxy and the web application is configured.
Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Configured service application associations > Click Default to see if the Search Service application is checked.
   2. Change the app pool for the Search Service Application to SharePoint Web Services Default in the properties of the Search Service Application.
Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > Highlight the Search Service Application > Click Properties in the ribbon > Change
the two app pool to SharePoint Web Services Default: App Pool For Search Admin Web Service and Application Pool for Search Query and Site Settings Web Service.
    3. Run PS command to check if the search admin timer job is enabled: Get-SPTimerJob
job-application-server-admin-service | fl. If it is not enabled, use PS command to enabled it and then reset Internet Information Services: Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service.
Best regards.
Thanks

Solution Manager upgrade to enterprise Edition

Dear All,
We are running Solution Manager 4.0 in Win2k3 32 bit server
with Oracle 10.2.0.2 Non Unicode version and ST patch level 11.
The memory of the server is recently increased from 4GB to 12GB.
We do not have any Java Stack.
We have configured EWA / System monitoring in our Solman and
also we have huge (really large) no. of documents uploaded into it.
We want to upgrade our Solman to Solution Manager Enterprise edition.
Can this upgrade from NUC to UC is possible with 32 bit OS platform
or we need to change our OS to 64 bit? If we change our OS to 64 bit,
will it have any impact on our existing application?
Also, is it possible to migrate the system as it is to a HPUX 11.31 box
without loosing any documents?
Kindly provide your views.
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

I strongly recomment to go for 64 bit in any case, 32 Bit is history...
For the migration to 64 bti you need to perform a homogenious system copy (Windows 32 Bit / Windows 64 Bit), if your target platform is HP-UX, then you need to perform a heterogenious system copy, which is more complex. Documents will not be lost during systemcopy operations.

BI 7.0: Source System upgrade from R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0

Background:
I am relatively new to BW team and will be going through my 1st source system upgrade.
We currently have BI 7.0 SPS 17 connected to source system R/3 Enterprise EP1.
We are upgrading to the source system to ECC 6.0.
In Development and QA Environments:
we will have access to both old (R/3 Enterpirse) and the new (ECC 6.0) source systems.
We have a opportunity to compare the BW Objects, data flow and data loading from
both source systems.
In Production, however, we will just upgrade over 3 days downtime.
One Question that comes to mind in this regard...
What sort of things, we should be checking for before and after upgrade in Dev/QA and in Prod environments and what tools are available that can help the analysis and validation process ?
Some of the suggestions that were given to me include following points.
Before Upgrade:
1 Check data, taking pre images of it for testing with post upgrade.
2. Perform proper analysis of Source system related BW objects.
- A complete listing of actively used Datasources,.. etc.
3. Make delta queues empty,
Make sure that all existing deltas are loaded into BW.The last request delta must not deliver any data and must be green in the monitor.
4. Stop Process chains from BI (remove from schedule) and collection runs from R/3 side
After Upgrade:
1 After the OLTP upgrade, refer to note 458305 and other notes that are relevant to the actual upgrade
(depending on the R/3 system release / R/3 plug-in to BI plug-in compatibility).
2. Check logical system connections. Transactions SMQS, RSMO and SM59, If no access, then we can use Program RSRFCPIN_NEW for RFC Test.
3. Check and/or Activate control parameters for data transfer. SBIW ---> General Settings --->
Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/51/85d6cf842825469a51b9a666442339/frameset.htm
4. Check for Changes to extract structures in LBWE Customizing Cockpit
- OSS Notes 328181, 396647, 380078 and 762951
5. Check if all the required transfer structures are active. See OSS Note 324520 for mass activation.
7. Check if all Source system related BW Objects are active - Transfer rules, Communication rules, update rules,DTPs,..etc.
Below is a link for some useful programs in this regard.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/pages/viewpage.action&pageid=35458
6. Test all important datasources using RSA3 and check for OLTP Datasources changes .
As soon as BW notices that the time stamp at the DataSource in the OLTP is newer than the one in the transfer structure, it requests replication of the DataSource and activation of the transfer structure. Transfer the relevant DataSources only if required, and transfer only the ones that have changed (RSA5 -> Delta).
7. Create Data flow objects (trnasfer rules, infopackages, trnasformations, DTPs) for the Replicate
new/changed datasources,if needed.
8. Check all CMOD enhancements.
If we are using a customer exit with the extractor in the OLTP, see Note 393492.
7. Check for unicode (all custom programs or Function Modules for DataSources)
5. Check all the queues in RSA7, start delta runs and test data consistency.
For delta problems:In the BW system, start the 'RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE' program for the DataSource and the source (OLTP) system for which the init selections are then transferred from BW into the ROOSPRMSC and ROOSPRMSF tables in the source system so that the delta can continue.
9. Take back up of data posted during upgrade for contingency planing.
10. Run the entire set of process chains once if possible and let it pick up no data or the usual master data.
Since we have lot of experts in this forum, who have probably gone through such scenario many times, i wanted to request you to Please Please advise if i have stated anything incorrectly or if i am missing additional steps, OSS Notes, important details...

Thanks Rav for your detailed post and very helpful contribution by posting all the information you had regarding the upgrade.
We have similar scenario -
We are upgrading our source system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have our BI system with BI 7.0 at support pack 19 (SAPKW70019).
Our strategy in ECC deployment ->
In development we copied our old DEV 4.7 system DXX to new ECC system DXY (new system ID).
In production we are going to use same system PRXX upgraded from 4.7 to ECC.
Now we are in testing phase of ECC with all interfaces like BI in Dev.
My questions are below ->
How can we change/transfer mapping of all our datasources in Dev BW system BID to new ECC dev system DXY (Eg. Logical system LOGDXY0040) from Old dev system DXX (Eg. Logical system LOGDXX0040). We donot want to create new datasources or change all transfer rules/Infosources for old BW3.x solutions on our BI.
Also in new ECC sourcesystem copy we see all datasources in Red in RSA7 transaction. Do we need to initialize again all the datasources from our BW BID system.
Is there any easy way for above scenario ?
Please let me know if you have any further helpful information during your ECC 6.0 upgrade connecting to BI 7.0 system.
I have found some other links which have some pieces of information regarding the topic -
Upgrade R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 already in BI 7.0

As you are using export/import to migrate database to 10.2.0.4. enterprise edition.
So there is no need to upgrade 10.2.0.3 standard edition.
1. So take export from 10.2.0.3 standard edition.
2. install the 10.2.0.4 enterprise edition and Create new database in 10.2.0.4 enterprise edition
3. import
4. Drop old database after taking backup. Uninstall 10.2.0.3 standard edition

Can't upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

Even though the "Windows Server Installation and Upgrade" TechNet article (DN627667) claims that I can upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, it seems I can't. I get an error message saying "Windows 2008
R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows..." What might be causing this issue? Thanks for any input! :)

Hi,
Firstly, for retail versions, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter.
I assume you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 retail version, right?
In addition, it seems that in earlier version than Windows Server 2012,
once you install the server in Core or with GUI mode, you could not switch to the other. The only option was to rebuild the server from scratch.
Did you install Windows Server 2008 R2 in GUI? If yes, I recommend you to upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2 in GUI
mode to see if the issue persists. If it succeed and you want to run in server core, you can just remove the graphical shell and convert your Windows Server 2012 R2 to Server Core.
Best regards,
Susie
Thanks for replying Susie. The 2008 R2 software is the one provided by Microsoft for Action Pack subscribers, so I'm assuming it's not retail. That's another thing, I think I should be installing the GUI as my 2008 has a GUI, not just the server core. For some
reason I missed that and clicked on the server core only install!
