Business Objects homogneous system copy

Dear Gurus,
We need to perform BO system copy from one server to another, but no standard migration or system copy guide for BO.
Can you advice me from your practice experiences what is the best practice for system copy of BO systems?
Thank You
Best Regards
Jakub

Hi,
by default, BOE doesnt have such a option to copy your System like BW has.
You could proceed as follows:
1. setup your new BOE Server
2. Copy thr FRS from the old to the new BOE Server
3. Copy the CMS DB using cmsdbsetup.sh (UNIX) or the CCM from the old DB to the new DB
4. Run the "Update Objects" option
5. Login to the CMC of the new BOE to delete the old Server entries under "Server"

  • Business Objects Homogeneous System Copy for [PCM - VENDAVO - Dataserver ]

    I am looking for any SAP supported process/method to perform system copies or transports with these products to set a standardized landscape where N1 (DEV) -> N1 (QA) --> [ Block Point ] --> N (DEV) --> N (QA) --> N (Pre-Prod) --> N (Prod).
    With ECC, BI, CRM, etc its all solid and proven processes for doing this.  However with the products from everyone else's bag of tricks without SAP standards, we are wondering how do we integrate it into the development streams for Unit Test, Integration Test, System Test to deploy.
    If anyone knows of a method for performing a homogeneous system copy from one box to another for the following, I would truely like to see it.
    1. PCM (Windows - App) - PCM (Windows - Web) - PCM (Windows - DB / SQLServer )
    2. Vendavo (Windows - APP ) -- Vendavo (LINUX - DB / Oracle)
    3. BOBJ XI Dataserver (LINUX - DB / Oracle)
    I have seem some info on the BOBJ XI side of using a biar file but I don't know if that also applies to the Dataserver piece.  At this point the message is that we build new and everyone rekeys data which flys like a lead ballon.
    If anyone has places to look, please let me know.
    Thanks

  • How to add Business Objects to system landscape smsy?

    Hi there,
    at the moment I configure the system landscape (smsy) in our solution manager. We have also BO XI 3.1 installations and I like to add them to the landscape. In transaction smsy I'm going to "Landscape components" -> "Product System" -> "Create New Product System" .. But now I'm not sure about the product and the product version.
    Any idea?
    Thanks and have a nice weekend,
    Max

    Hello,
    You may want to review  SAP Note 1507629   Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager
    There are two PDF files EGI_SBOP_EWA_Part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_Part2.pdf attached.
    They show how to define the system in SMSY.
    Additionally you will need Note  1357901 CA: Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise
    Because this is how the data will be collected.
    And lastly once you have setup the managed system and setup  the entries in SMSY, you then can create an EWA.
    Hope this helps you out.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Evaluation Copy of Business Object Enterprise XI R2 can be used in the prod

    Hi,
    I have installed the evaluation copy of Business Object XI R2 in my test environment.
    Can i use the same instance for my production environment?
    What need to be done for using the eval copy in the production environment.
    Thanks & Regards
    Anil

    Hi
    tecnically it is possible to use an evaluation key on an BOBJ system independent from the purpose you are using the system for. Still evaluation keys expired and are there in order to check the functionality of the BOBJ software. I would recommend to discuss this with your local SAP representative.

    Please anyone have idea about this how to do this and how to achieve this using SDK and custom business object.
    Many Thanks
    Mithun

    Hello Mithun,
    Does this section in the documentation help you:
    SAP Cloud Applications Studio Help -> Developers Desktop -> Web Services
    The entry "Task -> Create a Web Service" describes how to create a Web Service on your own BO
    The entry "Task -> Test a Web Service" helps you how you can use it in a foreign tool / application.
