Business Objects Installation Issue

Hi,
  I installed Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 3 on my system
OS  : Windows XP Service Pack 2
After Installation I don't see Server Intelligence Agent under Central Configuration Manager.
I only see Tomcat Server on that dialog box.
Is there any alternative way to add Server Intelligence Agent ?
I appreciate any help...
Thanks ..

Hi,
the server version of BOBJ XI 3.x is not supported on Windows XP. I would suggest to take a look at the Supported Platforms document
BO XI 3.1
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/60cdb229-d874-2b10-18ac-ed2f46873753]
BO XI 3.0

  • Issue With Business Objects Installation-STW00213 The Central Management Server has failed to start.

    Hi,
    I am in the process of installing Business Objects XI 3.1 in one of our server. While installing I am getting the error 'The Central Management Server has failed to start. Press 'retry' to attempt to start it again or 'cancel' to skip any actions dependendent on the Central Management Server. STW00213.'
    I have tried re-installing the BO, and also tried installing without giving admin password. But it doesn't work. And also I ahve tried giving the passwords of database and CMS Admin without Sepcia Characters. But it also doesn't work.
    If I cancel and install the BO, Server Intelligence Agent is not available in Central Management Server.
    Could anyone help on this issue?
    Thanks

    Hi Prakadesh,
    Try these steps.
    1. Stop and disable the service of current SIA. You can do it from start-->run services.msc. Double click the SIA service and change the status to disable.
    2. Login into sqlplus and drop all the CMS tables.
    3. Create a new SIA pointing to Oracle from the CCM.
    4. Start the new SIA and check if all services come up and you are able to login into Manager servers.
    If this does not work, check the event viewer for error messages.

  • Replacing Business Objects - Modelling Issue

    I'm working on a large 'BI' project that is replacing Business Objects with OBIEE ( actually its not really a BI project its more of a give us what we've got now using OBIEE project ) - which is proving challenging in some areas.
    One example is with the Data Model that BO provides in its Universe, the model I'm replacing is pretty much 3NF (even though it uses DIM and FACT in the table names) they're joined pretty much all over the place, which enables the users to select from tables which can be 4,5,6 steps away from the original - including via M:M relationships!
    Anyway one specific issue is based around the old question of multiple fact tables where not all dimensions are conformed.
    Dim - Business Manager ---< Fact - Forecast >----- Dim - Product -----< Fact - Actuals >------ Dim Salesman
    I've setup the Dimensions for each Dimension Logical Table.
    I've created a single logical table containing a Forecast and Actual Amount from the 2 fact tables and set the logical levels appropriately at Table Level. For the Forecast measure I have a logical level set to 'Total - Salesman' and for the Actuals measure I have logical level set to 'Total - Business Manager'.
    This works great when I select an Attribute from Business Manager, and Salesman and both of the measures in the Answer.
    However the users want to be able to select from Business Manager, and Salesman dimensions without selecting the measures, is this possible - do I need to add a bridging table to resolve the relationships between a Business Manager and Salesman explicitly rather than implicitly via the facts?
    I have set Implict Fact at the Presentation Model, however this doesn't work (it misses off Total Level aggregation in the OBI Server SQL).
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions/answers.

    Thanks for the helpful reply Turribeach, along with the interesting and informative link.
    This is my first foray into the world of BO and I think some of the points you make in the link are right on the money. I've spent many years working with Oracle Tools (Dataquery,Data Browser, Discoverer and then OBIEE when Oracle acquired the tool ). There are difficulties in the modeling with OBIEE, certainly when it comes to trying to replicate a 'fairly' complex BO universe they become apparent.
    Many hoops to jump through to give the user a like for like, which I'm not convinced will be possible - maybe some negotiation is required :-)

  • Business Object Installation - Clarification

    Dear All,
    I would like to understand that business objects & Business Intellegence (Latest Version) can be installed on the same server or not.

    Please also share the installation documents & guideline if any .
    Thanks & Regards

  • Exporting to Business Object platform - Issue

    Hi,
    For me suddenly the export-> Business Object Platform got disabled.  I am using Xcelsius 2008.  Other export options are working fine for me.
    Help me in resolving this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subbu S

    I am facing the same issue. I already upgraded from XCelsius 4.5 WorkGroup Edtion to XCelsius 2008 but my BO Platform icon is still disabled. I remember it correctly when i build the live office model with XCelsius 4.5 it was working correctly and now i am not able to push my dashboard to the BO Platform becuase the icon is disabled.
    I have noticed one thing, when you start the XCelsius 2008, the icon was still appearing and enabled but once it loaded fullly the icon gets disabled.

  • 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

  • Unable to Delete the Business Objects Installation folder

    Hi,
    I am trying to re-install the Business Objects 4.1 SP4 on my Dev Machine. I have un-installed BO4.1 by going to Control Panel>programes & Features>uninstall. After i completed the unistall process i have rebooted my machine and still saw the Business Objects folder in the Installation Drive.
    I am trying to delete the folder but unable to do it. it reads 'The Action Cant be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program'. is there any way to get rid of this error and delete the folder to start fresh new installation??

    Hi,
    To delete the folder you can use rococopy command.
    Follow steps
    1) Create one dummy folder "xx" on the same level where the already folder exists.let say i want to delete Test folder and folder location is F:/Test and create xx on the same level.
    2) Go back one level up like on F:/ drive right click and command prompt.
    3) run the command robocopy Test xx /MIR
    After that you will be able to delete the folder.
    or run one more command to delete the folder from command prompt.
    rd/s F:\Test

  • Business Objects Licensing issue.

    Hi All,
    I am planning to develop a custom web application using BOE 3.1 java SDK's.
    I would like to create only application level users, these users would be mapped with a single BO user account to create enterprise session.
    That means, My application "A" will have say 10 users (i.e. 10 userid and passwords). All these users will their different sets of userid's and passwords (custom application users), they can login into the application using application level credentials, however to login into the enterprise the application will internally use only one BO user credential (i.e. only one named user acount info.)
    eg:user1-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
    user2-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
    user3-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
    and so on.
    The idea is to purchase only one named user licence and create many application level users to login into BOE; but using the same BO user account.
    Is this approach legal in-terms of licensing?
    Would appreciate any help on this.
    Regards,
    Jon

    Hello Jon,
    Thank you very much.
    Please see the following post:
    Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 Licensing
    Tim says:
    names means you can have five users created, any amount logged on concurently (i.e the administrator could have 10 sessions, usera 20 etc no limit) But you can only create 5 different users names
    that means 1 Named user eg: 'A'  can login into the enterprise using his credentials and create any amount of enterprise sessions concurrently for self right??
    Each named user is for a specific user and not to be shared. If you were using concurrent user licensing, than this would be ok to use one enterprise user account.
    5 Concurrent linceses means one user account created in enterprise but, account info can be shared with 5 users, so they can login using same credentials and create five different enterprise sessions?? right?
    so, I can purchase one- 5 concurrent user license and share it with 5 users? OR purchase 5 named user licences and share it with 5 users?
    Either ways my understanding is number of users=number or linceses available (named or concurrent). please correct me if I am wrong.
    Now, which one is cost effective named user lincenses or concurrent?
    Regards,
    Jon

  • Dashboard Designer *.swf Business Object connection issue

    We have *.swf file generated from SAP Dashboard Designer.
    It uses database to retrieve information for report.
    We have placed *.swf to our web application so that users have a possibility to review reports.
    Let say our web application with *.swf file is placed on 192.168.0.1 server and Business Object is placed on 192.168.0.2 server.
    The problem is that we are getting an error when we are trying to connect to report via *.swf file (http://192.168.0.1/report.swf) from client machine (from any computer in Internet) because the server with the Business Object (192.168.0.2) is not exposed to Internet. However it is exposed to 192.168.0.1.
    So, the question is - is it possible to connect to BO (192.168.0.2) by oppening the *.swf that is placed on http://192.168.0.1/report.swf when BO server is exposed only to 192.168.0.1? Please, advise.

    Hi Danylo,
    Can you provide a screenshot of the error message that you get when you try to access the dashboard?
    Also let us know what data connections are defined in the dashboard.
    Regards,
    Niraj

  • Business Object Security Issue - With the Modify Option

    Hi all;
    My issue is Im trying to restrict all access on Info View that are related to the Modify option for a Read Only user.  When I test the user I right click and the Modify option still there.
    Please help thanks.....

    Basically the solution was on the Application tab... I verify the privs related to the group and I change a few things.  Plus  still have the Modify option when I right click.  Something helpful was that I can still change the column width or the color of the text or bold the text etc, but I can not change the data, which is good.  Also when you right click and select view on the report your are not able to change the width of the columns.  But it work ok...
    Thanks for your help and support.
