Business Objects XI R3.1 Fix Pack 1.3 Release Notes

Hi All,
What are the Prerequisites for BOXI R3.1 Fix Pack 1.3 installation?
can i have release notes for Fix Pack 1.3 Release notes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edited by: mahesh ch on Apr 7, 2009 4:15 PM

I see Fix Pack for the following Server Type -
AIX 32bit
HP-UX on IA64 64bit
HP-UX on PA-RISC 32bit
Linux on IA32 32bit
Solaris on SPARC 32bit
Windows Server on IA32 32bit
Where can I find the fix pack for Windows 64 bit?
Also, is it mandatory to install the previous fix pack or can I directly apply 1.3 on XI 3.1?
Thanks,
Ritesh

Crystal reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.4 Release Notes

It seems to be impossible to find any release notes for any of the fix packs. Can anyone point me to them?
Also if it's anyone from SAP reading this why are release notes not distributed in the downloads section or a link to them. It's a ridiculous situation not being able to find them, how are we meant to know if issues are fixed we raise or about fixes we should be installing and are not even aware of.

Filtering by Crystal Reports | Crystal Reports 2008, I see the items listed below. I cannot find any release notes.

Business Objects InfoView translation (without language pack)

Hello, everyone,
We need to translate SAP BO InfoView interface. The language we require doesn't have native BO language pack.
We discovered a bunch of .properties files, translated them, but not all of the texts was converted.
Maybe someone could give me some advices, or some ideas for solution?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. The report is using an ODBC connection to the Access database that resides on the Business Objects server. It is setup as a System DSN on that box, using the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb) - as the Access db is v2007.
I can run the report on the server using this ODBC connection, and I'm assuming that when I run the report on demand in InfoView, it is using this connection as well. The problem is only presented when I attempt to schedule the report. The datasource is there as well.

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

I'm a bit confused. As a user, I don't seem to see the Business Objects 5.1 Standard File/Insert/Tools/etc. menu when I sign on to B/O Reporter. The menu was appearing, but now it's gone!
Any ideas?

Business Objects 6.5 SP2 Query Panel hidden and can not maximize BO Frozen

Hi,
I am using BO 6.5 SP2 and have had this problem once before and a colleague had it also. But time no one could fix it without a full format. Uninstall doesn't not work.
I believe it happens when you run a report then return to the Query Panel to edit it then click the "restore Down" button (the one in between _ (minimize) and X (close). I can see the page using alt tab but i can't restore it at all. When i open a new report i get a blank white screen with every button (file, edit etc) disabled as the active window on top of what i am seeing is the Query Panel but it's hidden off screen.
This really ban as i can use BO until it fixed but i really don't want to have to format my PC as it take days to get every think bank and working.
Please help
Thanks
P.S Can a user upgrade from SP2 to SP4 or does it need to be done on servers etc ? If i can is it free and if so where can i get the download.
Thanks again

Hi Tom,
Do you get any error message?
Normally, when there is no data to return, you should get the message "No data to fetch".
Please perform the following test:
- Place the object <Field 1> in the Results Objects and click on Run. Do not put anything in Conditions.
What do you get?
Please check/provide the following details:
- Do you have this issue with any object/universe or it's a specific one?
- make sure you set the defined and assigned the connection to the universe in Designer
Can you test with our demo universe and see if you get the same behaviour?
Regards,
Jeff

I have installed Xcelsius 2008with SP1 and the FP1.
The problem I have is with all the versions.
If I open Xcelsius and click on File -> Manage Add-ons.., I get the following error message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Xcelsius.exe
The application has requested the RunTime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please Contact the application support team for more information. OK.
Now after I click on OK, the computer completely freezes up and has to be restarted - with a hardware reset. Power Off and Back On.
I have the About screen with Xcelsius Version 5.0.0.99
Build Number 12,1,0,247
This occurs on a HP tablet AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72, Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 times, and still no luck.
The PC is less than a week old, and I am just configuring it and trying to ensure the software is functioning correctly.
During the restart of the PC, after I have requested restart windows normally, I get the message that flashes up sometimes, that states
441/441 / registry (or very similiar - it happens very fast)

Merge modules for Business Objects XI service pack 4

I am in the process of developing a deployment package in Installshield 2009 - Basic MSI Project. I tried adding the merge modules I downloaded earlier from the web page, http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp
Currently I do not see this web page. It would be nice if you could tell me whether do we have a merge module for Crystal Reports XI service pack 4. If we have where from i can download them. Thank you

Thanks a lot for the immediate response. However, I am not using the crystal reports Version, R2 release.
I had actually installed Business Object XI and applied service pack 4 on it. I checked the version in Help->About. It is 11.0.0.
Also my environment is XP Sp2, Visual studio 2003 and Visual studio 6.0. I understand that R2 release is needed if the environment is Visual Studio 2005.
I would like to give a clear picture of the issue I work through.
After deploying the software in the client machine, I came to know that when client tried to print the embedded crystal report (.dsr file) from CrViewer,
1. Page set-up dialog bog gets displayed.
2. After clicking 'OK' button in the page set-up dialog box, nothing happens. It is suppose to bring print dialog.
I simulated this in my development machine (confirmed that Print dialog is is not getting displayed when 'OK' button is clicked from 'Page setup' dialog)
I researched and found out from some web page that if Business Objects XI is updated to Service pack 4, this issue gets resolved
So i applied service pack 4 in my dev. machine and tested the functionality by clicking 'OK' button. This issue is no more.
Next logical step is to propagate the sp4 changes to the installer. I searched for the merge modules corresponding to Business Objects XI - service pack 4. I could not locate it now.
I searched my backup folder, I located some previously downloaded merge modules downloaded from the web page, http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp
I tried to include these merge modules and received an error message "Internal build error" . My research revealed that inclusion of the merge module, CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm (43,306 Kb, 7/4/2007) throws "Internal build error" during compilation of MSI project in Installshield 2009.
Any idea, tips and help to resolve the issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

Use of identifier in ByD Studio business objects

As Wed Feb 2nd in VQ3), we introduced a new identifier data type for partner BOs.
ByD Studio contains 2 identifier:
element ID                 : ID;                  // identifier 2 (SAP "best practiceu201D)
element Identifier   : Identifier;           // identifier 1 (u201CCCTS compliant")
As the CCTS-complient data type u201CIdentifieru201D has various difficulties, we recommend urgently to use the data type "ID". The differences between the two data types is explained below:
1. Length
The DT Identifier has a length of 255 char.
The DT ID has a length of 60 char.
2. Upper case conversion
The DT ID supports upper case only. User entries with lower case characters are automatically converted to upper case. This is the same behavior as almost all ByD identifier data types (e.g. BusinessTransactionDocumentID, ProductID, BusinessPartnerID, etc.)
The DT Identifier supports lower case letters as well.
3. Alpha conversion
The DT ID supports alpha conversion. User entries which contain number characters only are filled with zeros from the left side (leading zeros). On the UI the leading zeros are suppressed automatically. This is the same behavior as almost all ByD identifier data types (e.g. BusinessTransactionDocumentID, ProductID, BusinessPartnerID, etc.) The DT Identifier does not support alpha conversion. This leads to an u201Cunexpectedu201D sort order on the UI.
This leads to the following sort behavior:
Sort order ID     Sort order Identifier:
.1.1                           .1.1
1                            1
5                            1.1
10                            10
15                            100
50                            15
100                            5
1.1                            50
ABC                            abc
(no lower case)       ABC
4. Structure
The ID data type is flat. There is no need for the u201C.Contentu201D suffix any longer.
The Identifier data type is structured (contains supplementary components), so the u201C.Contentu201D suffix is needed (although the supplementary components are disabled in the BO).
5. Behavior in ByD script coding:
The following coding works fine:
import ABSL;
var x = 1;
if (this.ID == "") {
// is true if ID is initial
this.ID = x.ToString();
this.ID = "1";
if (this.ID == "1") {
// is does not work, because u201C1u201D was filled with leading zeros
if (this.ID == "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001") {
// is true now because u201C1u201D was filled with leading zeros
raise IDMessage.Create("I", this.ID);
// leading zeros are suppressed on the UI: u201CID: 1u201D
6. Restrictions in Extensibility and Analytics:
Only the ID data type will be supported in extensibility and analytics:
Extensibility: It will be possible to add an extension field in an BO extension (planned for FP3.0).
element ID                 : ID;
Analytics: Analytics supports only character fields with a maximum length of 60 characters & alpha conversion.
Consequence: the u201CIdentifieru201D DT cannot be used in Extensibility and Analytics.
7. Adoption
If you have used the data type "Identifier" before and want to change the BO to "ID", the following adoption tasks are necessary:
a)     Business Object: change the BO definition file (see point 1)
Note: During my tests I got a activation error. In this case I solved the problem by Clean -> Save -> Activate. In this case, test data are lost
b)     Business Object: Implementation: remove the u201C.Contentu201D suffix
c)     UI: After the BO change, the following runtime error occurs in the affected UI. In the error text the following text occurs: u201CMapping of proxy name of attribute failed.u201D
Solution: Open the UI Designer,
(1)     Tools -> Update Meta Data
(2)     Go to the data model and do u201CUnbindu201D and u201CBindu201D again for the affected field
(3)     Save & Activate
d)     MDAV, Forms, Web services -> not analyzed. Assumption here is that the dependent objects have to be cleaned and activated.

OK, I have found your code in your previous post.
It works in 9.2.0.1.0 and 8.1.7.0.0.
