Business Object Financial Consolidation v10.5  is supported in Windows 7 ?

Hello,
I am administrator of BoFC. I would like to know if new computer under WIndows 7 works fine with BoFC, and if this OS version is supported by SAP ?
thank you for your help.
best Regards.
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
I don't know if Windows 7 is supportet. Using the Web there is no problem to work with Windows 7 and BOFC. Using Windows Client I had problems to get a connection to the BOFC-Server. But I've tried it just in an image.

    The problem is solved. If you have the same problem, make sure that your database is initialized as a top site. By default the database is initialied as a child site which means that customizing is not possible.

  • Business Objects Universes generation

    Hi everyone,
    We wish to install and use Web Intelligence (Business Objects Enterprise Premium). I understand that Web Intelligence requires universes and that they can be generated via Universe Designer or Universe Builder. With these tools, we can generate a universe using the metadata from the source (BW from example).
    1. Is having the metadata available at the source a requirement to generate a universe? If not, what are the other options available? Best practices?
    2. Is there an integration with Metadata Management? If yes, what's SAP's flagship product for metadata management? Where can I get more info on the subject?
    Thank you very much for all your help,
    Nathalie

    A lot of your questions about SAP Business Objects tools and applications can be found at
    1) Go to the [SAP Help Portal|http://help.sap.com].
    2) On the top light gray navigation bar, select SAP BusinessObjects.
    3) On the top dark gray navigation bar, select All Products.
    4) Select the product and version from the dropdown boxes.
    Web Intelligence and Universe Designer have separate documentation, even though they're part of the SAP Business Objects Enterprise suite of products.
    1. Is having the metadata available at the source a requirement to generate a universe? If not, what are the other options available? Best practices?
    In order to create/maintain a Universe in Universe Designer, you have to have a connection to the database or infrastructure where the data being used for reporting resides (e.g. SAP BW or SAP Business Objects Rapid Marts), thereby exposing the source tables for use in a Universe. Metadata isn't required for creating/maintaining Universes in Universe Designer. For Universe Builder, however, metadata or Oracle Analytic Services are required to create Universes.

    2. Is there an integration with Metadata Management? If yes, what's SAP's flagship product for metadata management? Where can I get more info on the subject?
    SAP Business Objects Metadata Management XI 3.1 supports metadata sourcing from SAP SAP BW 7.0. This is now considered the "flagship" metadata management tool for SAP.

  • Business Objects Enterprise - domain user

    As mentioned in blog at /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2 the SNC interface can be used to provide SSO with Business Objects Enterprise.
    The SSO works if the Windows services are started using a domain account, because the SNC session between BO server and SAP server is initiated using these domain credentials. We have found though, after 1 week the users credentials expire (due to ticket lifetime configuration in Active Directory) so BO server needs to be restarted every week. To solve this we are aware that SAP RFC library requires an SNC_MYNAME parameter, and we have put domain credentials on BO server in a key table file. I am wondering if you know how we can configure the SNC_MYNAME parameter in the RFC connection string used by BO software ?

    Ingo,
    I am referring to client side SNC, as described in part 1 of your blog. As you know, a domain account is needed and the Windows services need to be changed to start as this domain account, instead of as system. When this change is made, and the WIndows services are started, they will request a Kerberos TGT from the domain, which has a lifetime associated with it - all domain users tickets have liftetime, determined by a domain policy. The liftetime of a TGT is normally about 8 hours.
    When an RFC request is made by one of the Windows services, and the SNC library is invoked, it will get a service ticket from domain and store in same credentials cache that holds the TGT (inside LSA on Windows). This service ticket will expire at same time as the TGT used to request it.
    If the SNC library gets a Kerberos service ticket, and the TGT has expired, but is still within the Renew Until period (normally 1 week after TGT was issued because of policy configuration) then a new TGT is issued, and the service ticket will be issued with the new TGT.
    So, from above you can see that using SNC with Kerberos, means that the tickets only last for 1 week because of domain policy configuraiton of Kerberos ticket lifetime and because of renew period for tickets issued by AD. The only way that the Kerberos tickets could be used for longer, is if:
    a) The service is restarted, thereby causing it to get a new TGT and the renew until date/time for this new TGT will be 1 week after the TGT was issued.
    b) The TGT could be issued when an RFC call is made, and this TGT cached in a separate memory cache, instead of in MS LSA cache normally used by Windows.
    Our product supports opiton b) but to make it work we need to understand how the BO software constructs the RFC connection string, and we need to add SNC_MYNAME parameter to this string. I can explain how this works in more detail if you like, but all I need is to know where the RFC parameters are stored. For example, is there an saprfc.ini file which we can edit and add the SNC_MYNAME parameter to this file ?

  • Business Objects XI 3.1 on windows 7

    How Install Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1, client tools on windows 7?

    Windows 7 is supported to install desktop applications (not server components) in XI 3.1 SP3 both in 32 or 64 bit mode. You can only utilize this support of desktop applications if you perform a full install with BOE XI 3.1 SP3 software (client tools) instead of an upgrade package.
    To install, you need to download (javascript:ms_getObject('https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/bc/bsp/spn/download_basket/download.htm?objid=012002523100007087502010E&userid=S0006543242&action=DL_DIRECT');) the appropriate package (client tools only) and install them on the Windows 7 desktop(s).

  • Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 Report Application Server Connectivity

    Hi,
    here are some answers:
    1. Well for the Installation of the Software as itself (not the databases) i would recommend at least 30 GB. All the Reports are getting stored physically in the installation directory. This behavior is by default. Later you can move the FileStore (where the Reports, Universes, etc. are located in) to a NAS share f.e.
    With Regards to the Databases i would recommend 1 GB for the CMS DB and 5 GB for the Audit DB. It depends on how you Audit your System. If you audit more actions, more information in the Audit DB will be stored.
    2. 2 Schemas on one DB is fine
    3. Usually you run a BOE installation on UNIX/LINUX under an installation user. BOE will be installed into his Home Directory.
    Regards
    -Seb.
