Business Object's Hot Patches

Hi,
We are currently using Business Object XI Release 2, hot patch 2, we would like to upgrade to the latest hot patch.
Our question is, if we take the latest Hot Patch would it include all the previous Hot Patches? Or, do we have to upgrade one patch at time?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
First of all, thank you for your reply, back in November 2008.
We are about to start the upgrading of Business Objects Release 2 with hot patch 2, we have not installed any service pack yet.
Our questions are: can service pack 2 be installed on top of hot patch 2? Or, do we have to roll back hot patch 2 first, and then install service pack 2?
Thank you in advance.

  • Business objects Security patch

    I need to know if business objects has any sperate patches as security patch?  how can I get notified if any of the patches have include any security fixes?

    It is much the same as most web applications.
    Permissions, inheritance and the distinction between inheritance at different levels (universe, planet, country, city, etc..
    Please read the documentation on the BO security model and integration scenarios on your side and then ask more specific questions if you get stuck somewhere.

  • Business Objects Core Dumps

    Hi,
    We are experiencing problems with Business Objects, in the past, from time to time we were required to re-start BO because BO was crashing. But, now this is happening more regularly, almost daily.
    We have reports that take 12 hours approx. to complete. So, this is becoming a big issue for us.
    We are using BO XI Release 2, service pack 1, hot patch 2.
    Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hahaha...
    Liked your style of saying Thank You. But what if the person does not the answer?
    anyways Welcome in advance.

  • PortalRuntimeException in Business Object document iview No portal component associated with the following context

    Hi all,
    We are stumped with a problem in our QA Enterprise Portal (7.3.1 Sp7) that throws a portal runtime error when we preview a Business Objects document iview.  The Business Objects Server versions are 4.0 SP5 and/or 4.1 SP3.
    The error is caught in the the defaultTrace file, /usr/sap/QNW/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
    [EXCEPTION]
    com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException: There is no portal component associated with the following context:
    pcd:portal_content/com.summit.SES_BI/com.summit.iviews/Daily_Margin
    at com.sap.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentContext.<init>(PortalComponentContext.java:93)
    Here is what we have tried
    * Confirmed the iviews exist in the PCD, by browsing to the content folders and right lick, preview on the iview.
    * Our PRD and DEV systems work correctly and are on same versions of EP Runtime and java. 7.3.1.7.0.201..
    * Occurs with all Businessobjects iviews from the QA portal and all doc types, webis, dashboards. Tried creating new iview.
    * Reapplied the com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.templates.epa to the Portal from t he BI 4.1 SP3 distribution
    * Deleted and recreated the BI portal system connector using the SAP BOBJ system template set path to http://bi-qas:8080/BOE
    * Set the embed key value in the BI system connector property and in the custom global.properties file, restarted tomcat and SIA services
    * Set permissions for everyone end user on the content folders and the BI system connector
    * Confirmed Single sign on configured correctly between BI and Portal
    * Confirmed that the QA BI server is configured correctly by directing the working DEV Portal to the QA BI server.
    * Performed actions in note 1709737
    We are certainly stuck and the defaultTrace file is not very informative.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

    This is resolve with note 1615838  - SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal 7.3 iView creation with BI 4.0 results in exceptions.
    The note includes a file portalapp.xml that need to be inserted into com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.par that is included in the BI server distribution.
    Then deploy the ear file.....
    Odd thing is that the note mentions 4.0 and we are on 4.1 SP3...

  • Problem Installing Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 on AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    We installed Business Objects XI 3.1 first on AIX 5.3  and everything worked fine.
    Once we apply BO XI 3.1 SP2 patch (by running the install.sh script from the
    BO XI 3.1 SP2 install bits) onto the Business Objects XI 3.1instance, the following error
    [error] Errcode 1: gzip -dc "/apps/truecomp/boXI31-temp/xi31_sp2/pkg/jdk00000.tar.gz" | /bin/tar xvfb - 1  
    during the installation ( when we checked, the package "jdk00000.tar.gz" contained mostly some libraries
    that are already existing under the installed java/bin directory, the error is likely due to tar command can't
    overwrite the existing files there), and it seems that the library files in "jdk00000.tar.gz" package are same as
    the existing files under java/bin directory. So this error may not matter (just our guess).
    The real problem for us after installing BO XI 3.1 SP2 is that, the tomcat log (file name "catalina.out")  throws
    the following exception and tomcat can't start up, so we can't log onto CMC anymore.  Anyone know if this is
    a known issue or any solution or  workaround?  The frustrating thing is that, SP2 can't be uninstalled (
    it likely thinks SP2 was not installed successfully), and this whole BO XI 3.1 instance is not usable anymore,
    we have to remove the whole thing altogether (no way to remove just SP2 part).

  • How to show Crystal Reports in BW system to Business Object XI R3 Portal

    Hi All
    I have some Crystal Reports in BW system and want to call them on Business Object XI R3 Portal.
    Lets say that there are x number of reports in the system.
    I need to show them on BO Portal by passing some parameters.
    I am not able to start that how I can show them.
    I followed one tutorial on Cystal Report for Eclipse and I was able to make a Crysral Report for Web Application.That was deployed successfully. I got one URL to run that.
    But now if I want to add this link in my existing BO Portal how can I do that.
    Can anyone help me in that, that how to proceed.
    Thanks & regards

  • Sharing of Business Objects in Weblogic 8.1

    Hi,
    I am using weblogic 8.1 for my application development. It contains a Webapplication module and 2 ejb's module and each module contains about 70 Ejb's. The problem is all the modules use some common business objects. Now the business objects need to be changed often and so that i could not give them in the classpath(it removes the hot deployment feature). If i place these business objects on the App-Inf/classes folder directory as well i am getting noclassdeffoundexception..
    Kindly help me out
    Thanks,
    Rajkumar

    Hi,
    I have the classes packaged correctly under the App-inf folder. But still i get the same error
    The domain structure is as follows
    Myapplication
    |->App-INF->classes->mypackage
    |->expressWebApp
    |->expressWebEJB
    |->expressWebWebEJB
    |->Meta-INF
    The mypackage contains the exact folder structure like
    com\bellatlantic\eo\service\user\User.class
    Any idea why this error is comin out
    Moreover i cannot give these classes on the classpath as it would remove the hot deployment feature.
    right now we have give the classes on the classpath and we have to restart the server for every small change we make
    Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks,

  • Connecting to Business Objects

    I am running Crystal Reports xi R2 Standard. My knowledge of Business Objects is limited. I have recently had Business Objects installed and now wish to connect to the Universe.  However, there is no selection in database expert in Crystal to connect to the Universe.  Firstly I thought I was running the wrong Crystal SP but after upgrading to SP6 there is no difference.  I do not find any reference to similar problems any where on the net.  I am able to open existing rom the Universe by browsing there, but I cannot run them as I get an error "The Database Connector 'crdb_universe.dll' could not be found"
    Am I running the correct version of Crystal Reports to connect to a Universe running on MY SQL, but connecting to a CA MDB Database running on SQL2005?  Are there any client-side ODBC settings that need to be in place?  If so, what driver should be used and where should they be pointed?  What else can I try?  I have seen references to a fix (ADAPT01038498), but I assumed this would be included in SP6.

    Hi Garth,
    Is the BOE server XI R2 also? If not that would be one problem, they must both be the same version and try to use the same patch level. Second, there is a Client install on the BOE CD, run it on your PC where you have CR installed. Then you may have to do a repair install of CR so it will find all of the drivers. Use the Custom Option and select the database drivers. I don't recall if Universe was an option now. If not then the client install should install it for you. Then when you go to the database Wizard you should see Enterprise or Repository as an option.
    Thank you

  • Business Objects saved pdf instances not matching the printed

    Hi ,
    I have set up a schedule in business objects to print a report (crystal report) and save it to pdf. The report does not export exactly as printed to pdf , it is compressed. This is true even if I directly exported the report to pdf from Crystal. Is there any way I can have the exported version match the exact printed version.
    Thank you,
    Manjula

    Hi Ted,
    Thank you for your quick response, I searched the site and found that this is a known issue with Crystal although I'm not sure if it is because we are missing a hot fix.
    The solution provided was to add a registry key "ForceLargerFonts" under
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BUSINESSOBJECTS\ENTERPRISE\11.5\CRYSTALREPORTS\EXPORT\PDF.
    I did that and  it has not fixed the problem for me.
    Thank you,
    Manjula

  • Business Objects XI R2 compatibility in AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    Our project is migrating to a new server and will require to move the Business Objects InfoView to that server. The current server has AIX 5.2 and has the WebSphere 5.1.7 . The new server has AIX 5.3 and has the Websphere 6.1.2.2..
    The problem is that we can't install the Business Objects Web Component Adapter in the new server.
    Is this a compatibility issue or are we missing some tools that are required?
    Thanks guys!

    Hi,
    Currently, we are running in an AIX 5.2, WebSphere 6.1.0.5, and JDK 1.4.
    We are migrating to a new server.
    Below is the error message that we are having upon running the WINSTALL.
    /<servername>/bobje/DISK_1/setup/patches/patchlevel.sh: invalid patch name: unsupported
    AIX: Your system is missing required components:
    /<servername>/bobje/DISK_1/setup/patches/patchlevel.sh: invalid patch name: unsupported
    If you continue your installation may not work correctly.
    Please press Enter to continue...
    Patch checking complete
    This Business Objects distribution only supports AIX 5.1 and 5.2. (Error: STU 00005)
    The new server is an AIX 5.3 server with WebSphere 6.1.2.2 and JDK 1.5.
    Do we need to install something on our server prior installing the Web Component Adapter on an AIX 5.3 server? We are installing the WCA of Business Objects in this server which has the WebSphere 6.1.2.2 to use the Business Objects InfoView. Our Business Objects XI R2 services (CMC, PageServer, etc) are already installed on a separate server.
    Let me know if there are questions.
    Thanks,

  • We have to upgrade IE9 to IE11 (Internet Explorer )  for Business Objects XIR2 environment

    Hi Experts,
    We are currently using Business Objects XIR2 Infoview link in Internet Explorer 9 version. Now my client wants to  upgrade IE9 to IE11.
    Is it compatibility to Business Objects XIR2
    Please let me know if we have any issue for upgrade to IE11 .
    Thanks,
    Veera

    XIR2 is not compatible with IE11 at all. You're user will see all sorts of possible issues. Or no issues at all.
    XIR2 is no longer supported by SAP (several years now) so no testing or patching been done to make XIR2 compatible.

  • Modifying OBN Business Objects from ERP Common Parts

    Hi All
    I've created an application in which I need to trigger OBN navigation to the SAPGUI transaction for creating Materials (MM01). We have the "ERP Common Parts 1.41" business package installed on our Portal and I was hoping to use the standard OBN business object for Material however, strangely, there is no operation for "Create".
    Question: Is it a good idea to add my own "Create" operation to the standard ERP Common Parts business object? I'm worried that every time we patch or upgrade the Portal, my custom operation will be wiped out...
    Thanks!
    Glen

    Thanks The-Hung!
    That was my opinion too, so I'm glad to have a someone back it up.
    I still have a problem with the Material business object though. How would you suggest I should handle the problem with the missing "create" operation? Should I create a second business object (eg. "material2"?) and use the second object for material creation only - ie. only add a "create" operation? I don't want to have to rebuild the whole object in case we implement standard functionality that triggers the standard business object "material"...
    The reason I'm asking these questions is that I'm an ABAP developer and it just seems unusual (and very restrictive) that I can't just enhance standard functionality without worrying that it will be deleted in an upgrade... I guess I'm hoping there are some tricks in the Java stack world that I don't know about yet.  
    Cheers
