Hello
I need one clarification.
Currenlty, in Development Enviroment we have hosted BO XI CMS Repository on Oracle 10g. Due to some infrastructure issues, in Production Environment we are planning to host BO XI CMS Repository on SQL Server 2005.
Could you please let me know that, will there be any issues if Devleopment Enviorment BO XI CMS repository on Oracle 10g and Production Environment BO XI CMS repository on SQL Server 2005??
And will there be any probelm when we move the contents that are stored in Oracle 10g to SQL Server 2005.
Thank you

hii
the CMS repository is just a schema for holding some tables and information related to the system
it doesnt matter the if its Oracle or SQL Server, and you will not have any problems if your Production in SQL server and Development in Oracle, or anything like this.
and it also it will not affect when you export objects from Development to production server.
and to move the Repository from one Datasource to another Datasource, i adive you to use the
"Repository Migration Wizard"
its too easy and simple , its already installed with the business objects software
good luck

Retrieve Fullname, e-mail from CMS repository

I have a simple challenge for anyone who has experience with querying the CMS repository. I have been reviewing the SDK and am really confused on the factory design and instantiation of the BO Infoobject classes.
I need to capture the Fullname and e-mail from the CMS repository and insert into a second database's table. It will be used as a reference to users who have access to BO.   Currently we are only using CE logins (no LDAP or Windows logins.)
No user interface will be required, just simple database connections from the CMS repository to the history database.
Any help?

You will have to add CE references to your project, but here is the code.

Point to a new cms repository

Needing to point the cms repository from one oracle database located on server1 to another oracle database located on server 2. We are using Business Objects XI R2 in a UNIX environment. Located the following document as a reference and am wondering if the most of steps in the guide can be used in this case.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0536322-d13e-2b10-5095-bed93bccf902
Thanks for your help in advance!

The document that you have can be used to move the CMS database from one Oracle server to another another. The premise is the same just replace Mysql with Oracle so you shouldn't have a problem. Make sure that you stop all the servers first and schedule downtime to perform this task. The business objects servers should not be running while to migrate the Oracle database from one server to the other. I hope that helps.

CMS Repository Database Temp Tablespace Sizing

1. While running some large reports Business Objects (XI 3.1 FP2.7) received an ORA-01652 (Unable to extend temp segment in tablespace TEMP) error for the CMS repository. The CMS database is running in an independent Oracle instance with the auditing database, so only the Business Objects engine would be using the temp tablespace. All the report information is extracted from other database instances. This tablespace was sized at 4GB when this error occurred.
2. What is Business Objects using the CMS repository temp tablespace for? What are some sizing guidelines, should this tablespace be sized based on estimated report sizes, report rows, concurrent users, etc?

I'd say this has nothing to do with Webi processing and has everything to do with your Auditing DB.
Auding DB always growing and that's where that message comes.
Audit guide has more info on managing Audit DB.

Oracle 12C as CMS repository

Hi Experts,
We are in the process of installing BI 4.1 SP5 using Oracle 12 C (64bit) as our CMS System Database
Can anyone with DBA exposure help me out with the following requisites and let me know if its acceptable for installation.
- Character sets used (Default AL32UTF8)
- Blocksize (Default 8k)
- Tablespaces
- Users and roles
Please share any information for the above points.
Regards,
Diego

Hi Diego,
Here is the information that I know -
1. Database user should have 'Owner' rights of the database.
     This KBA will also help you.
    KBA1705522 - What are the permissions needed for the CMS database - SAP BusinessObjects      Intelligence Platform 4.0?
2. We have to set the oracle table space to 'Auto Extend' .
      .Refer KBA 1262903 - How to increase table space for oracle repository ?
Hope this helps.

Rukaiya

Switching hostname of CMS/Repository DB

I have server01 that is configured through IPS and Data Services 4.1 to use CMS and repositories configured in server02. We have set MySQL on server02 to replicate any changes to the database to a mysql instance on server01. In case of failure of server02, what do I need to change on server01 to connect now to the mysql instance on server01? I know I'll need to change the odbc.ini, however on Central Management Console Settings (web) I see "Data Source: SOME_CMS:server02:3306". I know I must be missing other places to change it. Any ideas?

Refer the below notes to update the DB information

How can I create a universe with the BO repository tables?

Hi. I need make a universe with the BO repository tables, in order to get user information .
But, when I try to insert tables in designer, using a new conecction to BO repository. I can't see tables.
Someone can help me?

The CMS repository is organized into both physical and virtual tables. Only the CMS can access the virtual tables, therefore you cannot create a universe on the CMS repository. You can access the CMS repository information through the Enterprise SDK.

New Operating System - Same BOXIR3.1 system (file store & repository)

We have a memory limitation on our current BO server running BOXIR3.1 fixpack 1.7. The server is currently running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with 4 gig of memory. We need to add additional memory but are limited by our operating system. I understand we'll need to re-install the OS with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition so we can add another 8 gig of memory.
We'll do a full server backup prior to reinstalling the I'm not clear on how to re-install BOXIR3.1 service pack 1.7 and the file stores. I'm thinking I'll need to re-install BOXIR3.1 then the service pack. But then I'm not sure what to do. Some of the questions I can think of are:
1. How do I re-install BO software without creating a new Oracle repository?
2. How do I restore my file stores? And how do I make BO use these file stores?
3. How do I point to my existing Oracle repository?
4. Is there anything else I will need to do to restore my current BO system?
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello,
First of all take a Back up of CMS repository and Input and Output File repositories.
1. How do I re-install BO software without creating a new Oracle repository?
Install BO with new repository (mysql or Oracle). After installation completes you can re direct to your old repository using from CCM -- > SIA -> Configuration tab
2. How do I restore my file stores? And how do I make BO use these file stores?
Just copy all the files from back up, input and output repository files.
3. How do I point to my existing Oracle repository?
CCM -- > SIA -> Configuration tab
4. Is there anything else I will need to do to restore my current BO system?
copy tnsnames.ora file, input and output repository.
If you get any issues when enabling servers or starting the CMS, then you need to delete old server entries from your CMS repositoies. Search with TYPE ID = 19, you will get all server entries in your oracle repository.
Thanks,
Anil

Note 852688 - "SSL Client PSE DFAULT does not exist" in Transaction SM59
Please go through the above note. This is a program error. We implemented this note and it resolved our issue. But before implementing, make sure that SSL connection is set to H or G.
Reward points if it helped.

Repository Login Issue

Hello,
I am trying to login into local repository configured newly after the data services installation. Once I entered the system and user details, I can see the list of repositories. But when I try to login to the repository it gives TNS time out error.
Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS: Connect timeout occurred.
I am thinking the oracle database is not accessible from my machine and hence I am getting the error
But I have doubt on it. Here, CMS and local repository schemas are on the same oracle database. Since I can access designer with my user id and also see the list of repositories, CMS repository is accessible from my machine (hoping authentication details and local repository details are stored in CMS repository). In that case, I should be able to access local repository schema as well. Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.
Data services version 4.2 is installed on Linux and teammate in different location can access the same local repository without any issue. Also, CMC and management console are also accessible without any issues.
Can anyone let me know the reason for this issue and resolution.
Thanks and Regards,
Rajesh

Check for firewall or user permissions to access the database.

Full export of the CMS from Production to Development

Hello All,
We have to export the reports and universes from Production to Development. In short we need to sync the Development CMS repository with Production CMS repository.
What is the best way to do this. Is Import Wizard the only way to export the contents to Development?
Because when I exported one report from Dev to Prod , we had to go and reset the scheduling properties again in Production. It did not maintain the properties which it was set to before. Is there a way to maintain the scheduling properties the way it was set to before. Or every time when we export a modified report to Production, we need to go and set properties back?
We are using BO 3.1 version.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi NR,
You will see both Development & Productions services when you go to the "Servers" in CMC once the development is up.
For example,
dev.pageserver
dev.reportjobserver
dev.cacheserver
prod.pageserver
prod.reportjobserver
prod.cacheserver
this happens b'cos of using the production schema for development. It will have a copy of the production services, so you need to delete the services once the CMC is up and running.

SQL/VBA SDK to view Universe Connection details from CMS

Hi
Am trying to find Database Name and User Name from Universe Connections. It looks like all these details are placed as a Property bag. So am looking for VBA code to view the Property bag or any direct Query Builder SQL to fetch these details.
Please share your Inputs.
Thanks.

Hi Ted
The MetaData DataConnection objects housed in the CMS repository don't have a public API associated with them.
Thanks for your information. I found the below code from BOB forum which gets Database Name etc from CMS, but am not able to make it work this in VBA (Excel Macro).
Imports System.Xml
Public iStore As New CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoStore
Public Connections As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObjects
Public ConnectItem As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObject
Public ConnectObject As New CrystalConnectionPluginLib.Connection
Dim QueryStr As String = ""
Dim ElementStr As String = ""
Dim NWLayer As String = ""
Dim RDMS As String = ""
QueryStr = "select SI_ID, SI_CREATION_TIME, SI_UPDATE_TS, SI_REVISIONNUM,SI_OWNER, SI_DESCRIPTION, SI_NAME, SI_CONNUNIVERSE, SI_METADATA_PROPERTIES from CI_APPOBJECTS where SI_KIND = 'MetaData.DataConnection' and SI_PARENTID=123 order by SI_NAME"
Connections = iStore.Query(QueryStr)
For Each ConnectItem In Connections
Dim sr As New System.IO.StringReader(ConnectItem.Properties("SI_METADATA_PROPERTIES").Properties("SI_METADATA_BVCONN_ATTRIBUTES").Value)
Dim doc As New Xml.XmlDocument
doc.Load(sr)
Dim reader As New Xml.XmlNodeReader(doc)
While reader.Read()
    Select Case reader.NodeType
      Case Xml.XmlNodeType.Element
        If reader.Name = "Name" Then
          ElementStr = reader.ReadElementContentAsString
            If ElementStr = "NetworkLayer" Then
              NWLayer = reader.ReadElementContentAsString
            End If
            If ElementStr = "RdmsName" Then
              RDMS = reader.ReadElementContentAsString
            End If
        End If
    End Select
End While
Next
MsgBox(ConnectItem.Title & vbCrLf & NWLayer & vbCrLf & RDMS)
Thanks.
