Business Objects 4.0 Server Restart Order

Hi All,
SAP has recommended to us to do a monthly server restart for our servers to clean out temporary and orphaned jobs and such.
We currently have a clustered CMS environment with another clustered processing tier for the adaptive job servers.
My question is the order in which this restart should happen.
Should we just stop and restart the SIA? Will that accomplish the goal?
Or should we stop the job servers, then the CMS and then restart the CMS and next the job servers?
If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
Thanks!

I agree with SAP to restart the servers at least weekly once or monthly once to resolve the stuck processes, orphans or zombies in the system.
I have seen when the CMS db connections overload with SQL server happened it didn't resolve the issue with simple SIA restart then it forced us to restart the servers.
Either the servers are VM or Physical it is best to restart the servers weekly once in the following order.
If you are in clustered mode assuming 2 CMS nodes with multiple processing nodes.
I would recommend to setup some batch job to execute all the stops/restarts from one server instead of from each server.
1) Write the batch script and place it on last processing node ( Assume 2 CMS nodes and 4 Processing nodes then script will run from 4th processing node)
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on Processing node 4
          wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on Processing Node 3
          Wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on processing Node 2
          Wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on Processing Node 1
          Wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on CMS node 2
          Wait for 5 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on CMS Node 1
          Wait for 5 minutes
          Restart CMS Node 1
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart CMS Node 2
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 1
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 2
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 3
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 4
You have to make sure that your CMS nodes are starting prior to processing nodes to avoid any issues.
Make sure no network communication issues between servers other wise some times it leads to some services on processing nodes lead to either Running/Disabled or Initializing/Disabled which requires force termination and start of the service.
You have to do the validation testing after every week restart.

Transfer of business object from development server to testing server

if i want to transfer business object from development server to testing server how can i do that?
what is the system landscape?
what is business object?

Hi Rizwan,
U can get details of Business Objects in tcode - SWO1.
Business objects are real world entities modeled as objects in an information system.
Business objects encapsulate both data structures and the functions applied to the data, but hide their full complexity from other objects. This encapsulation of data and functions makes it easier to modify program components, because you can program with the relevant entities without having to know all the implementation details. You can also reuse existing functions.
Client programs access business objects by reading their attributes, or by calling the methods that make up the objectu2019s interface:
Attributes
Attributes describe the data stored in an object through a set of properties. They provide direct read access to the data structures of objects, but client programs cannot change them from outside.
Methods
Methods provide a way to encapsulate the data structures of business objects, and to process them. When accessing an object, the client program calls a method with parameters and gets back return parameters.
Interface
The interface is the set of methods associated with a business object, and determines how an object interacts with the outside world.
The client program defines the object types to be used and, at runtime, creates object instances of those object types.

Brand New Installation of Business Objects XIr2 Application Server

Hello,
We have recently acquired Business Objects XI r2 as we are in the process of migrating from Business Objects 6.5.1
We currently use BO 6.5.1 on a small scale using Business Query via excel to access a remote Data Warehouse. I beleive we will now use Live Office in the new XI world.
We have acquired licenses for the following components, and I really would like some assistance on how to install them and in which order
Business Objects Enterprise Professional
Business Objects Live Office

I have a windows 2003 server in place to host the application, but where do I start ? Which component do I need to install first ?
Many thanks

Hmm, this is Redhat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 - it's basically a 'snapshot' of our existing dev system.
One thing I have seen elsewhere is a problem with the libstdc++ compatability library, but it looks like that's installed (we tried tossing in a copy we had from CentOS, and got:
[root@bos-rep-bob01 ~]# rpm -ivh ./compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm
warning: ./compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821

        package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.x86_64 (which is newer than compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386) is already installed
        package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386 (which is newer than compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386) is already installed

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

How to Retrieve a List of Business Objects using DI Server?

In DI Server (and DI-API) I could not find how I can get a list of business objects, for instance ServiceCall objects.
and more - say i need the list with a filter on customer code and call status?

...at least not to the extent that you are looking for.
Please check the E-learning:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d78ab1f9-0901-0010-8495-8ca0facaea2e?prtmode=navigate
at: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessone-elearning
...or go the sample code for the DataBrowser (sub-)object in the "SDK Help Center"...
...or go to the DI API sample (no. 2 I think I remember).
...to find out how you can navigate between the records of the result of your SQL query; from there you could e.g. export the objects to XML...

How can I recover Business Objects 4.0 Server from an orphan repository?

I have an orphan Oracle repository (CMS database), with table names starting with BO40_ and during a data center move they have lost the BO server (hardware as well as software) which used this repository. Is there any way this can be recovered?
Users need it urgently!! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Install Business Objects XI R2 on Windows Server 2008

Hi,
I want to install Business Objects on Windows Server 2008 using IIS7 however i cannot select the IIS ASP.Net option when I get to the "Choose Web Component Adapter Type" screen.

Ok,
After not having much like with installing on IIS7.0 i opted to do an install with the TomCat Server.
This was also not successful, It seems that TomCat relies on a service called NTLMSSP
this has been removed in both Vista and Server 2008.. (I guess this is why ive been having so many issues!)...
After doing some reading on the above mentioned service it is quite possible that IIS 7 could also be using it.
Thanks for all your responses, but i guess this is a definate thing now (just in case some one else comes looking for this information)

Using JSP, how to add new items to Fuego Business Object "Group" ?

Given the classic Fuego Business Object (FBO) example of an Order, which has a few attributes (orderNumber, customerName, Order Date) and a GROUP attribute called OrderItems (ItemName, ItemPrice, etc.), I want to use a JSP to allow user to submit order. My JSP has a form and uses the Fuego Tag Library. There are FORM INPUT elements for Order.orderNumber, Order.customerName, Order.OrderDate, and a table using dynamic HTML to add rows and INPUT elements for new items to add to the GROUP attribute OrderItems - ItemName, ItemPrice, etc.)
But when the user wants to add "OrderItems" to the order, I don't know how to get Fuego to create OrderItem Objects to add to the array (aka GROUP).
Thx in advance.

###### below is the response I response I received from a BEA Engineer. From looking at the html source of fuego presentations that implement desired functionality, it appears as though they handle it using the first suggested workaround below ######
Hi,
The short answer to your question is that there is no out of the box feature to support directly what you are asking for.
The problem is that JSPs receives a Fuego Object that is accessed at rendering time (JSP compilation/ HTML rendering). And then all the updated values are sent back to the engine in a new request when you hit the submit button of a FOR tag that has the postResult tag in the action attribute. At this point all these values are automatically taken from the request and the Fuego Object instance variable in the screenflow is updated.
After saying this you will notice that it doesnâ€™t make sense to update the Fuego Object instance on the JSP. Because you only could do this ate rendering time and because this instance is not going back to the engine (just the values).
Fuego Object tag Library was designed basically to be able to show Fuego Object data and invoke runs-on-server FO methods.
I see 3 different approaches to solve the problem you have:
1)Use JavaScript to call a runs-on-server method that recive the required arguments to extend the group and set the values. You should use the new tag called invokeUrl that allows you to use AjaX, in this way you could update the page with partial rendering.
2)Use JavaScritp to submit the form when the user click the add row button. And have a loop in the Screenflow with an automatic activity that will extend the group and the go back to the component activity that now will show the page again but with one more row. The drawback is that each time the user wants to add a row, it will require the entire page to be refresh.
3)Handle the table and values using JavaScritp and DHTML, and put all the new values in the request (input element), then in the Screenflow use an automatic activity to set this values to the Fuego Object.
Look at the Samples of using Fuego Tag Lib and AJaX

How to run crystal report in business objects xi 3.1 sp3 enterprise

hi, i created crystal reports thru crystal reports 2008, i have the crystal reports locally on my machine. the source for the crystal report is stored procedure to get the data from database
the main thing is i need to import these reports into business objects xi 3.1 and i need to run the report in business objects. the bo server is on solaris and the reports i have r in my local machine (i.e windows).
i am using this way to import the report into bo server.
In Crystal Reports: File>Save As>My Connections (Define your BO Server) and save the reports to your BO Server.
but the main thing is i cannot run the crystal report in cmc. what am i doing wrong, do i need to set any database configuration in business objects ?

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

Business Object XI R2 - DotNet InfoView is not working

Hi,
I am facing a problem viewing Infoview and the Central Management Console.
I have just installed Business Object XI R2 Server on a Windows 2003 Server with .Net version 2, database is in SQL Server 2005 and when I go to Infoview or the CMC I get the message "page cannot be found".
I can however, get to the pages using the Java versions. I'm guessing this is an IIS or .Net issue - I'm using IIS v.6.
I changed the web.config file in the Web Content folder
from -
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
to
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
Now it is showing me the following error -
