Cons of installing installing IIS on Business Objects server

Hello Everyone,
Kindly help me with a doubt, how Business Objects server is going to be affected if we will install IIS in it. Cause I have another WCF application and have to host on the same server for which I need IIS to be installed.
Thank you for your time and patience!

There is a .NET version of InfoView/BI Launchpad and the CMC that you would have to install after installing IIS.  However, they are missing some functionality that your users may want/need - in particular in the Webi application.  I know that at a former employer, I had to move off of our initial install on IIS to Tomcat because users couldn't run the Java versions of the Webi viewer and designer, so they couldn't get to some of the more complex analysis tools in their reports.
I did a quick search but was unable to find the specifics on this.  Hopefully someone from SAP will check this thread and provide a link to some sort of comparison document.  There is a mention that the comparison between the HTML viewer/designer and the Java applet will be published soon (as of last November) here http://scn.sap.com/community/businessobjects-web-intelligence/blog/2012/11/06/webi-influence-council-qa-and-presentation-from-teched-las-vegas.

  • Running XI and 6.5 Services on same Business Objects Server

    We are currently thinking about  migrating to Business Objects XI from 6.5 SP4.
    We are running with a 3-tier architecture, with the Business Objects services running on a Windows Server.
    Due to the number of users and reports in circulation we would like to do the migration in phases.
    Is it possible to run both the XI and 6.5 services on the same Business Objects server at the same time?

    That's actually a migration secanario so it should work fine. I had no trouble with 5.2 and 6.0 on the same system.

  • Report works in Designer client, but not after published to Business Objects server

    Has this happened to anyone else?  I have a couple of reports that work perfectly on my pc in the Designer client.  I can export them to whatever format I need, and they work.  When I save them to the Business Objects server, everything appears to be ok.  The thumbnail on the properties tab shows the correct report with a page full of data.  When I preview and when I schedule the report to run, I get incorrect data.  In one case, I get an empty report.  In another case, I get data, just wrong data and way too much of it.  I've got hundreds of other reports that were developed and published the same way that are working correctly.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    There may be couple of reasons. What is your data source? Verify the database in the report and check it again. Or to do more crosschecking, Create a simple report using the same database and deploy in BOE.

  • Use a dynamic list of email addresses to email a report via Business Objects Server 11

    Post Author: wolfgang666
    CA Forum: General
    I use Business Objects Server version 11 to distribute reports via email but was asked if there was a way to only send the reports to those people listed in the report (which changes daily) instead of the entire distribution list. I can create a list of email addresses as a variable within the report but can't find any way to pass it to the Business Objects server "To:" field located in the destination screen. I would expect to see some option for sending to some value located in the report but alas no such option is evident. This seems like a feature the product should be capable of doing as it is so basic. Any other way to do this that anybody can think of? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Alan,
    The simplest thing would be to simply use the Import Wizard to create a BIAR file and then back up the required CR's and instances to the BIAR file. So for instance you would use the "Import Folders and Objects" option. So the source system would be the system you are decomissioning and the Destination would be the BIAR file. Once that is done you can use the BIAR file to import the report content into another system in the future.

  • HELP: Business Objects server flag

    Morning,
      I was wondering if it is possible to create a flag on the business object server side that will allow scheduled users reports to start (execute) after certain cube loads are complete? Any advice or info are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
         Thomas

    Thomas ,
    yes its called event  based scheduling. u create events in CMC to achieve this. Typically after ur loads are done they have to generate a file which sits in a folder in the server. your events in bobj shoould moniter the file creation and then kicks of the schedules. Usually there wud be dedicated event servers for bobj. talk to your admin in these lines.
    Thanks,

  • Installing Fix Pack for Business Objects EDGE XI R3

    Hi,
    Has anyone had any experience installing the Business Objects EDGE XI R3 fixpack?
    I'm curious as to how to install it and what changes it will make.  I tried quickly searching the SAP support site and did not find much.
    I want to find out as much as possible before installing this in a LIVE system.
    We are using RHEL with tomcat and mysql for our system.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    Hi,
    you can find the "fixed issues" and "whats new" documents at the download of the FP. Just click the "Info" link and you will be pointed to the Documents.
    You only need to install a FP if this solves an actual Bug you are facing with.
    The only installation Problem i often face is the deployment of the Web Applications of the Fix Pack. Somethimes i have to re- deploy all the war Files using wdeploy.
    So if you have a custom Web Application deployed on  your BOE Tomcat or customized the BOE Application make a Backup before.

  • SAP Log on into Business Objects server not working (Error FWB 00014)

    Hello,
    I recently installed Business Objects XI 3.1 Edge series, I am able to logon to enterprise and everything is working fine. I am even able to import roles from SAP system but I have two problems.
    1. Logging on to enterprise using SAP user: I am getting the following error message when I choose SAP in the Athentication and enter SAP username and password and click log on.
    "Account Information Not Recognized: All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses. (FWB 00014)".
    2. Logging on to SAP system through SAP Logon pad: When I enter my username and passord in SAP system from the same server as I installed BusinessObjects I am getting a run time error.
    Did any one of you had the same problem or does any one of you have any clue how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I assume that you have a key for named licences (You can check this in the CMC under Licence keys).
    What you need to do is to go in the CMC, navigate to Authentication->SAP->Options and select the Named users option.

  • Business Objects Server

    Hi,
    Is there a way to create an alert in BO server if the report runs longer than certain expected time.
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    As far as i know you can create the alerts on the reports and for more information you can refer the admin guide of the BOE version you have installed.
    If you don't have the guide then you can visit the below site and search for the admin guide:

  • Copy reports from one business objects server to another

    How do I copy all the reports published in my production BO server to my test server. I did this once but can not remember. Is it the import wizzard?

    yes you can use the import wizard to export your reports from one server to another server
    just open the import wizard, connect to your source server, choose object types you want to export (folders, reports, users,,,,etc),,, then choose the objects itself, then connect to the destination server, and the import wizard will guide you through this process.
    good luck

  • Transferring the Business Objects Server to a another Windows 2003 Domain

    Greeting Everyone
    I am in the process of moving the BOX1 Server (Windows Member) from one Windows 2003 Domain to another and want to make the movement as smooth as possible.
    I am in the process of making a checklist on what needs to be done before and after the movement of the BOX1 Server. With your expertise can you please advise me on the points to be considered on this movement.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Venkat

    Hi Tim
    As usual thanks for your prompt response.
    I am using BOX1 R1 which is working in an unique way (defy all rules) in my environment. The server is located in Domain ABC and the users are located in domain XYZ. That means user is in one domain and server in another domain. Now we going to place the server in the same domain where the users are.
    The answers to your questions are
    Is this just the server that is moving?  Yes. The server is moving from ABC to XYZ
    Is the domain in the same forest as the original? No, They are independent Forests with 1 way trust relationship
    Are all the users that login going to keep using the same domain? Yes.
    What I am worried is that if I move my server between independent forests then all the SIDs (not sure) of the server will also change to my understanding. Worrying part is that will it hamper the the functionality of the server.
    Please also note that FQDN and the IP address will also change.
    Please advise and Thanks once again
