Client tools Installation vallidation

Hi guys,
In my company they newly installed BODS 3.2 SP3...Iam new to admin...Now they are asking to write a validation document to check all users are gud with all installation(I mean developers).
we installed BODS designer, DB2, Oracle database and we created job servers, repositories and granted permission as of now.
Pls any one guide me what type of care i should take to validate the client tools installations.
I hope I will get the helpful answers.

Hi Sumanmanu,
As long as you can open the designer, connect to the repository, edit a job and save, it should be all good. I guess you are going to be using a central repository, so you should start by checking in an object, importing to your local repository, changing and then exporting back to the central repository.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Diego

By Client Tools I mean Administration Tools, ODBC Driver and so on (all components included in OBI Client Tool option in OBI installation wizard)...
Just for your information , when I try to install OBI Client tools (same option in the wizard) in version 10.1.3.3.1 on the same windows platform, it works very well !!!

Client Tools installs per SQL Server 2012

Is there a maximum allowed install of Client Tools per purchase of SQL Server 2012? I believe we have Enterprise but may have Standard. SQL Server Management Studio Express is not sufficient because of the SSIS limitations. Thanks!

matters is the license to connect to the server SO provided that the server I was connected
to had a CAL assigned to me or it was CPU licensed then all is well, as the client tools aren’t licensed themselves
http://blogs.technet.com/b/andrew/archive/2008/07/14/licensing-sql-server-client-tools.aspx
http://www.scottandscottllp.com/main/SQL_Server_Licensing_Perils.aspx
In short client tools are free as long as they connect to core components of SQL Server – the Database Engine and the Reporting, Integration and Analysis Services – which has correct licensing.

BO Edge u2013 Client tool

Hi,
We are using BO Edge 3.0 version, is it possible to install universe designer in a client PC and connect it to the server repository?
I know u2018BusinessObjects Enterprise Client XI R3u2019 client tool is available to address this requirement in BO enterprise product but is there an option for Edge series?
Does BO Edge 3.1 series have client tool installation?
Regards,
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
there is no difference between Edge and Enterprise regarding the Client/Server Tool separation. Your client tools are in both cases part of the server download package.
After unzipping the files, there ought to be some folders which include the files of the client tool installation. The Universe Designer is also part of the Edge Client tools.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Installing Informatica powercenter 9.0.1HF2 client tools on Linux 64 bit

Hi all,
I'm building OBIA 7963 on Linux x86-64but server.
do we have Informatica powercenter client tools installables for Linux 64bit? if not please guide me how to proceed for this.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram
please follow the below procedure to install the informatica in LINUX
PowerCenter - Installation and Configuration (9.0.1 for OEL Linux 64Bit)
This article talk about the installation of PowerCenter from Informatica on:
•     Oracle Entreprise Linux 64 bit version 5 Update 5
•     Oracle Database 11gR2
After you complete the installation and configuration process, you have to log in to the Administrator tool to create and configure the following services:
•     PowerCenter Repository Service
•     PowerCenter Integration Service
Oracle Database
parameter
Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursor;
NAME TYPE VALUE
open_cursors integer 300
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000 SCOPE=BOTH;
System altered.
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursors;
NAME TYPE VALUE
open_cursors integer 1000
Repository Account
At least two database user accounts are required to host this repository :
•     POW_REP for the repository Database
•     POW_DOM from the domain Configuration Database
with the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
For Oracle, you must perform the following instruction :
CREATE USER POW_REP IDENTIFIED BY POW_REP
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW TO POW_REP;
CREATE USER POW_DOM IDENTIFIED BY POW_DOM
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW, SELECT ANY dictionary TO POW_DOM;
The grant “select dictionary privilege” to the user POW_DOM is only needed to verify the parameter Open_Cursor during the prerequisite check.
Repository Tablespace
Set the storage size for the tablespace to a small number to prevent the repository from using an excessive amount of space.
Also verify that the default tablespace for the user that owns the repository tables is set to a small size. The following example shows how to set the recommended storage parameter for a tablespace named POWERCENTER_DAC.
ALTER TABLESPACE "POWERCENTER_DAC" DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 10K NEXT 10K MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
PCTINCREASE 50 );
Operating System
Login as root
Processor
Verify that the process match the software (x86_64)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -p
x86_64
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -orv
2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 29 22:10:29 EDT 2010 GNU/Linux
Temporary Disk Space Requirements
The installer writes temporary files to the hard disk. When the installation completes, the installer deletes the temporary files and releases the disk space.
Installer UNIX      1 GB
Informatica Services UNIX      2 GB
Verification of the temporary space with the df commando: Linux - disk free command (df)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# df -h /tmp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
77G 16G 58G 22% /
User Account
On UNIX, create a user account specifically to run the Informatica daemon.
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# /usr/sbin/useradd powercenter
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# id powercenter
uid=502(powercenter) gid=506(powercenter) groups=506(powercenter)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# passwd powercenter
Changing password for user powercenter.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Port
Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you install Informatica Services.
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# netstat -tulpn|grep 6005
The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.
Environment Variables
Use LANG and LC_ALL to set the UNIX code page for the installer.
File Descriptor
Informatica service processes can use a large number of files. Set the Linux - File Descriptor limit per process to 3000 or higher.
In the file /etc/security/limits.conf, add this line:
# PowerCenter
powercenter hard nofile 3001
powercenter soft nofile 2500
And verify with the ulimit function logged as the powercenter system user account:
[powercenter@di-obia-01 ~]$ ulimit -Hn
3001
Note:The limit is set to 3001 to prevent an error with the value 300 during the prerequisites check
Installation directory and Permission
As root, create the installation base directory:
mkdir -p /powercenter/9.0.1
chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter
chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter/9.0.1
chmod -R 775 /powercenter
chmod -R 775 /powercenter/9.0.1
As the installer (powercenter), copy the file to a tmp directory, unzip and untar it:
[powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ unzip V26109-01.zip
Archive: V26109-01.zip
inflating: 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
[powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ tar -xf 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
Change the permission of the file install.sh to execute
chmod -R 744 /tmp/powercenter901/install.sh
Server
Pre-Installation System Check
To verify whether a machine meets the system requirements for an Informatica installation, run the Pre-Installation System Check Tool (i9Pi) before you start the installation process.
You can find the i9Pi tool in the following directory: <InstallerExtractDirectory>/i9Pi
[powercenter@di-obia-01 i9Pi]$ ./i9Pi.bin

Installation of SQL Server 2008 failing - Client Tools

Hello,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Client Tools on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005 (Full install). I select "Client Tools Connectivity" "Client Tools Backwards Compatibility" "Client Tools SDK" and "SQL Client Connectivity SDK". During installation, I receive this error message "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file E:\x86\setup\x86\sqlncli.msi". The installation then fails. Is the older version of sql native client interfering with the new install? Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!
-Theresa

So I tried to reinstall missing features, but I was getting the same error message about the sqlncli.msi file. I tried executing it from the folder, but got the same error.
When I went to remove the items that did get installed from Add or Remove Programs, I got the following error:
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
No feature were uninstalled during the setup execution. The requested features may not be installed. Please review the summary.txt log for further details.
Error code 0x84B30002"
Not sure what to do..

OBIEE Installation and configuring Client tools.

Hi gurus,
I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 and oracle 11g on Linux machine, and my client tools are installed on my local machine.
So know i need to configure both, suppose i have created a rpd file on my local machine and i want to create analysis in my OBIEE web console in Linux machine.
Actually i am quite new to OBIEE, so if you guys elaborate this step by step it would be helpful to me.
I really needed this help and i will really appreciate if you guys gonna help it.
Thanks & Regards
Ashok

Once you develop the rpd file deploy it on Linux box, follow steps as in http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/08/obiee11g-deploying-new-rpd.html
and then create reports

BusinessObjects 4.1 Sp2 Client Tool setup Installer will not Start

Hi Everyone
Have installed BOE 4.1 sp2 server platform on a virtual machine running on Windows Server 2008 R2. When I tried to install the Client tools, I execute the setup.exe program, it launches the run, when I click on runs, nothing comes up.
Any suggestion I will really appreciate it.
Thanks

OK. I think I may have misled you. We tried installing BI4.0 on SQL Server 2012 and that didn't work (not supported according to the Supported Platforms documentation). I just looked at the Supported Platforms document for BI4.1 and it shows the Client Tools should be supported on Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.
I'll try installing them and let you know. We would like to have them on the server also.

Unable to install Client Tools for Sybase ASE 15.7 on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit

Hello Folks,
I just downloaded the client tools package from https://support.sap.com/swdc --> Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z list --> SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE --> SYBASE ASE 15.7 --> Installation --> Microsoft Windows --> 51044415.zip
I'm trying to install the client tools for a newly provisioned Windows 2012 64-Bit machine. After unzipping the folder and running autorun, the installation does not proceed. When I go to pcclient64 and run either setup.exe or setupConsole.exe, I get the error "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit, Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)". I stumbled across various posts on the forum, and it appears that the installer is not certified for Windows Server 2012. I tried using the compatibility mode for Windows 7, and it proceeds further and launches the SAP GUI; however, it closes afterwards.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
51044415 is a PC-Client 15.7 refresh.
You are using a version that was not certified with Windows 2012. Get the most current version PC-Client 15.7 SP130 or SDK 15.7 SP130 or SP132.
If your looking for PC-Client5.7 SP130 look for EBF23439
We didn't get certified with Windows 2012 until SDK 15.7 ESD#6 even with that I reported a few minor issues.
You need the following on the machine before the installation.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
Thanks,
Dawn Kim

BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP4) Error

BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP3) are installed OK on a Workstation...
Business View Manager = 12.3.0.601
Designer = 12.3.0.601
WebIntelligence Rich Client = 12.3.0.601
I have downloaded the "SBOP Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 ServicePack 4" files from the SAP Support site (ENTERPRISECLNT04_0-10007619.exe).
When I run the EXE - it unzips the files for about 10 minutes and then starts the install - but quickly throws the error below...
"The update installation cannot proceed because either the target product is missing or is not the correct version for this update. Verify that the product to be updated exists on your system and you have the correct patch."
Anyone seen this error before - and know the fix...?
Thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions.

Hi Mark,
This error may show up if have installed the client originally from the Server build, or the other way around. You may check the registry, if it has key codes for the enterprise it means the client was installed by the server build.
I have installed BOXI 3.1 sp4 clients on several machines no issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Muhammad

BOE XI 3.1 Client Tools

During the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 instllation ->Install Type, I selected:
"New" and "Install MySQL Database server". Also check the check-box "Enable server upon installation"
Then continue with the installation. Completed succesffully.
This also means I have installed all the client-tools (Web Intelligent, Desktop Intelligent etc) on the server.
Now if the user need to the access to Webi and create and publish the query into CMS, how do they actually access to the WEBI?
Do we need to install the WEBI again on each of their machine?
Edited by: lynn on Mar 10, 2010 2:17 AM

Hi Stratos,
Thanks again for you explanation, that really make thing clear!!!
1) Use the web-based version of WebI. Your users will be able to create and view WebI reports using their internet browser.
If I am using this option, that's mean I dont have to install the Webi Rich Client on each users workstation as I have already install them on the BOE Server. All the user need to do is basically logon to BOE InfoView, then create and publish the Webi document on the BOBJ repository and the rest of the user can access them, correct?
2) Deploy the WebI richt client on the user's workstation. This stand-alone client tool allows you to develop and view WebI reports. You can then export the reports to the BOBJ repository and thus make them available for your report consumers, ho will use their browser to view the report (Option 1)
If I choose this option, I still install the Webi Rich Client form the BOE XI 3.1 (Server/client) software , but during the Install Type step, I choose Custom or Expand Install, correct?
Please advise, thank you,.

BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 SP3 Connection Error

Hello everybody,
I installed BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 on the server, the server has Windows Server Enterprise 2007.
Locally, in my Laptop, I installed the BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 SP3, but i can´t connect with the CMS using the Webi, or anyother tool to the server. I made everything that is in the administrator, installation and configuration guides, but reading the administrator guide for Query as a WebService I read that if you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise Tools you need a key license to us it, the question will be this.
Do i need a different license than the one what i use to install the BusinessObjects Enterprise on the server to install, connect and use the BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 SP3 on every machine that i install and use for it????
Thanks and regards.

You do not need separate or additional license for the Client Tools.
Most often Client tools cannot connect to server components because :
1. CMS server is not running on the server
2. There is a firewall between Client machine and the server machine and firewall specific settings were not done. (Admin guide - working with firewalls section).
