RegardsIt depends on what criteria YOU use to define "best".
If your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like nails.
Depending on the task, I use the following, preference in the order listed
- sqlplus
- SQLDeveloper
- dbcontrol
- SQLNavigator

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).

Ports used by SAP BO Client tools

Hi Team ,
We are planning to put our BO Landscape( BO 4.0 SP7 patch 2 ) to be accessible by SAP to trouble shoot. We needs a list of ports we may need to open the from out network to SAP. Could you please tell which all ports are used by BO Client tools to connect to the BO platform , in case SAP may need to connect via client tools.
Regards ,
Abhinav

Hello,
as per default the following Ports need to be open bi- directional on your Firewall as TCP:
6400
8080
8443 (in case you use HTTPS)
But this is not sufficient enough. You also need to narrow down the IFRS and OFRS and open these ports aswell.
I recommend you check the Chapter 7.15 from the BI 4.0 Admin Guide - there is everything explained. And when you start configuring your Firewall, never forget the local Windows Firewall (when your BI deployment is on Windows).
Regards
-Seb.

BPC Client tool

I am new to BPC ... Where can I download the BPC client tool to connect to server. Do you need a GUI client or is it a web based client similar to Visual Composer?
Thanks

Hi,
There 2 clients for SAP BPC NW.
They are both available on the BPC Web portal (http:
SAPBPCWEBSERVER\osoft)
From the BPC portal you will find a link to client download page (don't remember its name).
Note : As you will be authenticated on IIS, your domain account must be recorded in SAP BPC security first. Ask your SAP BPC administrator. You also must be local administrator privilege on your computer in order to install them.
The first client is the "Admin" client : It will allow you to manage Appset and application / dimensions / security ... etc.
The second client is a Microsoft Office plugin : It will allow you to access SAP BPC appset within Excel.
Both requires some technical prerequisites on your computer. Check the online guide on SAP Marketplace or run the client diagnostic tool from the SAP BPC portal page.
Good luck and welcome.

BO XI3.1 Client tools connection with SAP BW

Hello everyone,
I have the following challenge:
I have an installation with Businessobjects XI 3.1 which connects to SAP netweaver BW.
When I use the client tools wich are installed on the server also, I can make a connection to Sap BW in the designer tool, and create a web intelligence rapport on this connection. When I get the rapport in Infoview, I can refresh the data, en this is showed.
When I Use the Client tool from a workstation, and test the connection, or refresh the data, is get the error message :
A database error occurred. The Database error text is: A runtime exception has occurred. (License key Check Failed. Check that you are licensed to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901)
In Bussinesobjects I configured each server to a dedicated port, and made sure that every server can be reached for the workstation.
Somebody any suggestions for this issue? When I search on the error n=message, is get a few hintu2019s but they are not the problem, because it is running fine from the server.
I appreciate every suggestion.
With Kind regards,
Ronald van Amelsvoort.

Hello Dennis,
You're right, I did not have the SAP intergration kit installed, at the workstation. After installing it works.
I did not know, or did found this in the installation manuals.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
ok try to set the registery key
*1. Edit registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\<Oracle_Home> to make sure NLS_LANG key is set to a valid characterset for the Oracle Client used as the DSN.*
*2. Please edit the file %OBIEE_Client_Home%\\oraclebi\orahome\bifoundation\server\bin\bi_init.bat to set %ORACLE_HOME%\bin as first entry in the PATH.*
3. Please add TNS_ADMIN entry to the bi_init.bat file to point to your Oracle client tnsnames.ora home directory path (in case exists) or to your OBIEE tnsadmin %OBIEE_Client_Home%\Oracle_BI1\network\admin.
e.g.
set TNS_ADMIN=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin
OR
set TNS_ADMIN=C:\Oracle\OracleBIEE11g\Oracle_BI1\network\admin
ex:
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
\OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)
\oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)
2.Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable value with one of the copied locations in the step 1 in user.cmd or user.sh file depending on your OS. This file will be found under \instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup (Example : C:\OBI\instances\instance2\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup)
Thanks

BOBJ 4.0 Client Tools Configuration Help

i have 32 and 64 bit System DSN setup on the server using the 2005 drivers. 4.0 was installed with 2008 Express. i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it? dumb question, should it be set to the db or cms db?
i don't remember configuration being this confusing.
here's what it shows in CMC settings:
Image link
sia properties:
Image link
setting up new connection, i'm trying to use the credentials for the boe140 db. someone tried connecting to the SQL 2005 db and that makes a connection but i get errors.
Image link
created a new connection using IDT and the test worked:
Image link
imported and used the new connection for the universe i need. the test worked:
Image link
error in crystal reports:
Image link
webi error:
Image link

You would need to have 64-bit DSN to install BO. during the installation the DSNs are created automatically. This is what you showed us in the images.
Many client tools use both 32-bit / 64-bit drivers. This helps them to talk to CMS Db in right way. You were using a CMS Db connection to create Universes , crystal reports and webi reports. Please note these client tools retrieve data from Db's other than the CMS Db usually. It is not recommended and suggested to have data made out of CMS Db. You should use the audit Database to know about the activities happening within the server.
good luck!!

Installed OBIEE Administration tool on 32 bit client, next step ?

Hello all,
I have installed a BI Server on a 64bit server and OBIEE administration tool on a separate 32-bit client as described in the following post :
How To Install Only The OBIEE 11g Administration And Client Tools [ID 1186342.1]
I assume that next step would be to migrate the BI Discoverer EUL to BI Server; but are there any other configuration that I should do first before that ? Should I install an application database in 11g prior to the migration ? My client only wants a demo with an example from the currently existing EUL so I thought I would make this as simple as I could...
Thank you for shedding any light on this!!!
Myriam

Hi,
If you look at the compatibility matrix you can see the Admin tool is only supported up to Windows 7, there is no official support for Windows 8 / 8.1 on the current version (new versions will maybe introduce it).
I also read somewhere the 32bit version works, but I also read it was extremely slow when opening (10-15 minutes) and no guarantee everything works.
In the end the best solution is probably to run it in a VM for now waiting for new releases.

SL3000 + FC-SCSI connection to Solaris 10 x86, Update 6 won't configure

Hi all,
A summary:
1. New SL3000 installed and configured
2. SL3000 is connected/zoned into FC switches presenting itself over FC-SCSI port to Solaris 10 x86 update 6 (fully patched) hosts
3. Appears on fabric like so:
Jul 4 18:48:05 storehost fctl: [ID 517869 kern.warning] WARNING: fp(2)::N_x Port with D_ID=620200, PWWN=500104f000ae7688 reappeared in fabric
Jul 4 18:48:05 storehost scsi: [ID 243001 kern.info] Target 0x620200: Nonzero peripheral qualifier: Device type=0x8 Peripheral qual=0x14. Attempts to cfgadm -c configure:
[root@storehost:/] $ cfgadm -c configure c4::500104f000ae7688
cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node: 500104f000ae7688: Invalid argument
Ports on FC switch suggest thousands of "invalid transmitted word" errors per hour - and this is just the SCSI-FC robot control port!
Tried:
a) Reboots
b) luxadm probe
c) cfgadm -c configure -o force_update blah
d) checking zoning over and over
e) entire library reboot
f) entire switch reboot
Thoughts/comments/what could be going wrong?
Thanks all.

hi,guys:
did you check you type of connecting of library?
　is it point to point or fc_loop ?
so you need to change fc_loop for fc_swithc 。
best regards
