CMS is not started, giving up while Insatlling Business Objects XI 3.0

Hi
I am trying to install Business Objects XI 3.0 in Linux. But it is failing at 55% all the time. I checked the log at that time and it is like
*[info] Return code from cmslogon.jar: 1*
*[info] ... waited for 160 seconds ...*
*=== [1249047696] Begin: Execution of Java: -jar "/bobje/BO1/setup/utils/cmslogon/cmslogon.jar" "pokcbsapdb13:6400" Administrator "" secEnterprise*

*[info] ... waited for 170 seconds ...*
and this is repeating till 210 seconds
I have opted for this steps while installing
1. New enterprise install ( enable severs after installation)
2. Default ports
3. Use existing database(oracle).
4. Use existing Java application server, do not deploy web applications.
Please help with your suggestion.

Hi Tim,
I already try installing with MySql and I can see again these messages in my installation log file.
At the moment SAP Support can not give any advice to resolve this problem, do you have any idea why this can be?? and if somebody know anything about the error message that said "method amibiguos" because i believe there is the problem.
These are the resolution sending by SAP, I already try this but still the same.
Symptom
Segmentation fault during the CMS initialization phase of the install
Core file may be created in the <bobje> directory and install will abort
Gdb output of the core file shows the following:
#0 0xf63cdeee in process_next_block () from <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/libWrapCryptoC.so
Reproducing the Issue
1. Launch installation of XIR3 or XIR3.1 on Linux running on AMD Quad Core Opteran chipset
2. Monitor the installation and notice that at approximately 55% during the install the CMS initialization phase will begin
3. CMS initialization will throw a segmentation fault and the installation will abort
Cause
The issue has been identified as a product defect and tracked under ID ADAPT01258674. The defect is in a 3rd party library which is embedded in Business Objects XI3.1 release.
Resolution
Launch the Business Objects XI3.1 installation on Linux.
Wait for the installer to extract the libWrapCryptoC.so file under <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86 directory. This will happen well before the install reaches 55% completion.
While the install is running, and before the CMS initialization begins, replace the libWrapCryptoC.so under the <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86directory with the modified file (see attached).
Let the install continue and you will see the CMS initialize successfully.
The file is uploaded on the SAP site.
Thanks.

Bug with Business Objects 3.1 Client installation. Very annoying indeed.

I have faced a few issues while developing with the Client installation (which includes the Client Development SDK) of business objects 3.1.
Some of the code just don't work with the client installation. They give Invalid cast exceptions. The same code will work fine with the server installation.
For a simple example, consider the following straightforward code to set the destination-
String query = "Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID "
          + " From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_PARENTID=29 and "
          + " SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'";
        InfoObjects destinationInfoObjects = infostore.Query(query);
        InfoObject infoObject = destinationInfoObjects[1];
        //Set the options for the disk unmanaged destination
        DestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (DestinationPlugin)infoObject;
        DiskUnmanaged diskUnmanaged = (DiskUnmanaged)destinationPlugin;
        DestinationOptions destinationOptions = diskUnmanaged.ScheduleOptions;
        DiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = new DiskUnmanagedOptions(destinationOptions);
        diskUnmanagedOptions.DestinationFiles.Add("C:\\");
        diskUnmanagedOptions.UserName = "your_username"; //Change these according to your logon settings.
        diskUnmanagedOptions.Password = "your_password";
        schedulingInfo = publication.SchedulingInfo;
        schedulingInfo.Destination.SetFromPlugin(diskUnmanaged);
This code will give an invalid cast exception as follows-
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoObject' to type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.DestinationPlugin'.
This happens at the line -
DestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (DestinationPlugin)infoObject;
Now, this code works fine on a box where the server is installed.
I have noticed this with a few other areas as well where the code fails with client installation but works on the server. This is really annoying because all the deveopers now have to install the server on their boxes.
It is actually worse if just the Client Developer SDK is installed (and not the whole client). You would expect that just the SDK installation would be enough for one to do the coding. But doesn't work at all.
Have others not faced this issue?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response. However, what I meant by client installation is exactly as what you have said below.
I start the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Setup, go to custom install, which shows up the following options-
Client Components
Web Tier Components
Server Components
Database Access
etc. etc.
Initially I unselected all, drilled down Client Components and just installed the Developer Components. But the code used to fail with an InvalidCast exception when we used to cast an InfoObject to a Report as following-
Report report = (Report)infoObjects[1];
This code used to work fine with earlier installations of business objects.
This happened with all 3 of us who installed just the Dev components. To get over this we installed the whole Client Components and the above problem got resolved.
And now we realize that even the whole Client Comp is not enough because it gives the casting problem while doing the destination stuff.

Business Objects Explorer XI R3.1 SP1 (Polestar) installer does not start

I am trying to install Business Objects Explorer XI R3.1 SP1 on Business Objects Edge Professional 3.1 on Win2k8 Server, but the installer dialog box disappears once I click "next" on "Configure Web Application Server" dialog box.
Note: When I use "disappear" above, I mean the "setup.exe" disappears from task manager. Also, the installation dialog box disappears from the screen.
I followed the same steps on Business Objects Edge Standard 3.1 and everything ran fine. I also tried to reproduce the issue on Business Objects Enterprise Premium, but it ran fine. All these installations were done on 64 bit win2k8 server.
Any help or tip on this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi there,
I extracted the files to a different drive and ran the installer from there. It eventually ran fine. I still don't know why it couldn't run from the same drive.
I tried running it from the command line as well, but it failed from there. I raised it to SAP as well which they haven't yet responded to.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Installation Business Objects

Hi,
I want to install the business objects. I´ve the B.O XI for SAP solutions and Xcelsius.
Where can download this programs? On SMP?
More thanks

http://www.service.sap.com/swdc
you'll have to login with you s-user id with download authorizations
Business Objects Downloads->Installations and Upgrades->SBOP Enterprise
Download the installation guide as well which will guide you the install process...Pretty straight forward..

Business Objects Installation

Hello, if my basis people install BOBJ BI Intelligence, would it also install the infoview? thanks.

Hello,
Let me add to what have been mentioned above.
For SAP BOBJ installation you have to plan your setup first.
Yes, if you do SAP Business Objects Enterprise setup and use all the default options which are prompted by the installer you can see that there will two application servers (default) Tomcat5.5 & IIS
These are the two APP servers which host applications like InfoView, CMC etc.
By default in case of Tomcat for XI3.1: -
InfoView URL: - http://<Hostname>:<Port>/InfoViewApp/
CMC URL: - http://<Hostname>:<Port>/CmcApp/
here <hostname> is the machine where Tomcat (shipped with product itself) is running
and <Port> is where Tomcat is listening (Default Port is 8080) --> You can install this on server machine itself or if you want to install it on any other machine you have to do "clustering".
Now I would recommend that first you go through link http://service.sap.com/support/ --> "Help & Support" --> "SAP Business Objects Support" --> "Documentation" --> "Supported Platforms/PARs" --> "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1"
spend some time reading document are per your required version: -
Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 - Windows - Supported Platforms
Enterprise XI 3.1 SP4 - Windows - Supported Platforms
Now once you have infrastructure ready as mentioned in these guide you can follow the link as provided in the above post to carry on the installation.
Thanks
