1588667 - SAP on AWS: Overview of related SAP Notes and Web-Links
After researching a bit I came across the below Information:
Build your own SAP environment on AWS
AWS and SAP have collaborated to offer customers options and convenience when deploying SAP applications in the cloud. Customers can now license SAP applications to run in the AWS cloud computing environment from an authorized SAP reseller, or use their existing SAP software licenses on Amazon EC2, with no additional SAP license fees. AWS cloud infrastructure services can be purchased directly from AWS or through one of our Resellers. SAP software licenses are sold directly by SAP or their affiliated channel partners. System integration, deployment, and hosting services are available through SAP partners and AWS Solution Providers.
The following are the steps required to get started building your own SAP environment on AWS:
Step 0: Planning
In order to properly size and configure SAP solutions on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, customers should follow these guidelines established by SAP and AWS
Use the SAP Quick Sizer
Follow the technical guidelines outlined in SAP Note 1588667
Step 1: New to AWS?
Sign up for an AWS Account
Read the Getting Started with AWS Guide
Step 2: Implement the Required Compute, Storage, and Network Resources
For detailed information and best practice guidelines on the steps necessary to implement SAP solutions on the required AWS infrastructure for an SAP environment please read the Implementing SAP Solutions on AWS Guide.
Step 3: How to Install/Deploy SAP Solutions
The AWS Management Console provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to manage your compute, storage, and other cloud resources. Most AWS products can be used from inside the console, and the console supports the majority of functionality for each service.
To begin to install SAP software on Amazon EC2 start with a base Windows Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system image and then install the SAP software just as you would on any physical or virtual server.
Automate your deployment or launch directly into your AWS account using the SAP HANA on the AWS Cloud Quick Start Reference Deployment, which serves as a reference and provides architectural considerations and configuration steps necessary for deploying SAP HANA on AWS utilizing a “Bring Your Own License (BYOL)” scenario.
Step 4: Run SAP Solutions on AWS
Now that you have installed the software on the AWS cloud, there are special considerations that need to be taken into account to run SAP solutions on AWS.

How we get the actual error from crystal report?
Thanks in Advance

What is the workflow
What is the application doing?
Iu2019m guessing you have a windows service application and you're trying to launch a UI (ie the viewer control) from the application or print using the vieweru2019s printing functionality programmatically(?).
If this is a Windows Service running under the local system account, then follow the instructions in the error message. (ie, bring up the properties of the service, go to the logon tab and check the checkbox that says u201CAllow service to interact with desktopu201D.   At least that should allow whatever popup is trying to come up display properly.

TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)? The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?

Migrate oracle database to Amazon web services

Has anyone migrated an existing oracle database 11g or higher to the AWS Amazon web services ?
I don't believe we can use AWS's RDS Oracle service so we would have to customize it.
We are presently on a linux server and use Oracle Flexible Arch.
How do you tell/set AWS to replicate the file names and directory that oracle would use?
Appreciate any tips or documents that you can point me to.

Hi,
You should also ask this question in the RDBMS forum -
General Database Discussions

Mike

How do I use Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services?

Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services was suggested to my project manager as a way to deal with some of the video we have to host at work, but after signing up and poking around, I'm wondering: how do you actually use it? Is it something that requires the Media Server software, or is there a web interface through AWS? I follow the links, and they tell me it's already active for my account - but I still see no way to use it.
Thanks in advance for help on this seemingly remedial question!

Hi,
Please have a look at the document and let me know if it helps you get started: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/amazonec2/adobemediaserve r_5.0_amazonec2.pdf

FMS on Amazon Web Services License. Does it need enter License(Serial Key)?

FMS on Amazon Web Services License. Does it need enter License(Serial Key)?
After Subscribe on adobe.com(Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 on Amazon Web Services)
I build the Amazon EC2 successfully.
In amazonpayments, the amazon show me an Activation Key.
On Application Activation:
The screen give me following information.
Generate an Amazon Activation Key
An activation key may be required as part of an application's registration process. If your application requires it, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the Generate Key link to generate an activation key for an application.
Step 2: Copy the activation key.
Step 3: Click on Go to Application to access the application.
Step 4: Paste the activation key if and where the application specifies.
But in Adobe Flash Media Administration console, It is missing the License(Serial Key)
Does it need enter License(Serial Key)?
How can I use the Activation Key?

Hi,
This Activation Key is only for identification purposes. In most cases, you will not have to use it. Once you subscribe to FMS on AWS, you are ready to go and use FMS AMI's.
Also, FMS on AWS does NOT require any License or Key. It works on a separate Licensing model.
Thanks!

Persisting legal FMS 5.0 licenses on Amazon Web Services through future up-sizing?

I am running the developer version Flash Media Server 5.0.1 (Windows) on a x64 Amazon Web Services small instance VM. The starter AMI for the server was one of the stock AMIs built by Amazon.
I have a shiny new license for FMS Professional but not yet applied to FMS.
I want to apply the license now and continue running as a small instance until I need more performance. Eventually I will want to gradually and periodically up-size it to increasingly larger AWS instances.
Is this possible with the FMS license?
Will I have any issues of invalidating the license because the underlying hardware configuration changes?
What will I need to do to ensure that I can upsize the same server (not create a new one) without invalidating the FMS license?
What other issues should I know about that I am too ignorant to ask?
Thanks,
Ken

I understand that I must terminate one instance.
I am not trying to run two instances (virtual computers) with a single AMS license.
Are you saying that I can freely "move" the license from one instance to another as long as the license is applied to only one instance (server) at a time?
I need to know if changing the number of virtual cpus and/or the ram will invalidate the AMS license activation.

Is there a tutorial for hosting CF on Amazon web services?

I'm interested in a getting started tutorial. I know Coldfusion but don't know the hosting process with Amazon.

Crystal Reports Server 8.5/Web Reporting Launch Kit/Crystal Enterprise 8.5

I have an old IIS 5.0 server which is serving up our company's Crystal 8.5 reports. The time has come to decommision that server, so I would like to migrate the IIS configuration to a new server. However, I have been unable to locate the media necessary to install the server side component on the new IIS server. The first question I have is, what is the product name I should be looking for? My research has been inconclusive, identifying Crystal Reports Server 8.5, Web Reporting Launch Kit, and Crystal Reports 8.5 Enterprise Edition as possible product names. My second question is, how can I go about obtaining replacement media for the product? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi Peet,
The software might work on windows 2008 server. However, if there are any error messages or bugs found while using it will not be addressed as the product has not be tested on this platform. (As also the technical support for versions 9.2 and earlier has already ended, so Product Group no longer works on the bugs or supported platform for these products.)
A better idea would be to install the products CR 10 and higher on Operating Systems which have been tested. That ways you can be sure that the the product is supposed to work correctly on a particular setup.
Please do let us know your thoughts about it.
Cheers!

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

Hi,
I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
My Environment:
O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
RAM size - 1 GB
Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
Regards
Sanrajesh

Hello, Sanrajesh,
You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
What development language will you be programming in?
If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
Then we could discuss the development requirements.

Amazon Web Service

Hi,
I have to write a java application for Amazon web service. It has to send the ISBN number of a book and receive the lowest selling price.
I am a good java programmer but never used web services before. Familar with XML (parsing).
1. Could anyone please give me a rough estimate of how long it would probably need to implement that?
2. Which software packages will I need? Is Tomcat really necessary?
Any help is deeply appreciated!

If the Amazon Web Service has a pubclished WSDL, you can use tools such as JAX-WS (http://jax-ws.dev.java.net) to do most of the work for you.

Itemsearch - Amazon Web Service

Dear all,
I am a beginner of Java and Web service and encountered some problems while doing my school project. when I using Netbeans 5.5 to created a new Web Service Client (Amazon Web Service) and try to use its ItemSearch operatoion. I found I don't know how to convert "ItemSearchRequest" to a List, could anyone help as the project deadline is coming.
NetNBeans generated following codes for me:
===================================================
org.bos.project.client.AWSECommerceService service = new org.bos.project.client.AWSECommerceService();
org.bos.project.client.AWSECommerceServicePortType port = service.getAWSECommerceServicePort();
// TODO initialize WS operation arguments here
java.lang.String subscriptionId = "";
java.lang.String associateTag = "";
java.lang.String xmlEscaping = "";
java.lang.String validate = "";
org.bos.project.client.ItemSearchRequest shared = null;
java.util.List<org.bos.project.client.ItemSearchRequest> request = null;
javax.xml.ws.Holder<org.bos.project.client.OperationRequest> operationRequest = null;
javax.xml.ws.Holder<java.util.List<org.bos.project.client.Items>> items = null;
port.itemSearch(subscriptionId, associateTag, xmlEscaping, validate, shared, request, operationRequest, items);
========================================================
I shall input my search papameter at "request" then convert it to a java.util.List and pass it to port.itemSearch(). Am I correct and how can I convert this.

Kan

Actually, my bad. It works quite well. I will post what I was asking for soon.

Readme file listing the fixes is here:

Kirby Leong in another post listed the download URLs, which I'll copy here:

If you wish to use the Eclipse IDE Software Updater:
1. Start Eclipse 3.4.1 (Gemini) IDE.
2. Select Help -> Software Updates...
3. Select the "Available Software" tab.
4. Click the "Manage Sites..." button.
5. If you do not see the following URL listed:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/
    then click "Add..." and add it.
6. Select the above URL in the "Available Software Sites", then click "OK".
7. The Available Software should now list the above URL. Open the node, and you should see "Crystal Reports for Eclipse".
8. Check all checkboxes for "Crystal Reports for Eclipse", and "Install..."
After successful update, you'll see version 2.0.1 listed in Help -> About Eclipse SDK and clicking on the "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" icon (blue swoosh with green diamond).
If you don't see that version listed, here's some troubleshooting tips:
Open a web browser, and Go to the following URL:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/site.xml
You should get back a XML file listed the current CR4E plugin and language packs versions. If you get an error instead, it may be because (1) you're in a locked down environment that won't let you access that site, or (2) the CR4E Update Site may be down for maintenance.   If the former, you'll have to download the updates by some other means and upgrade manually.
