Install BOE XI 3.1

I am going to install Business Objects XI 3.1 on windows 2008 server, can I install Crystal Reports 2008 V0 first and then install BOE XI 3.1. Or is that any other order I have to follow.
Thanks in advance.

For BOE and Crystal Reports, there is no special order.
If you install SAP Integration Kit, you must install it after the installation of BOE and Crystal Reports.

Error (STU00104) while installing BOE XI 3.1 SP4

Hi All,
I am installing BOE XI 3.1 SP4 on a host which is already running the BI7 system
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.4
What i am trying to do is that i want to use the same existing DB of BI, so for that i have created a Tblspace for BO: PSAPBO1
and then created schemas for Repository DB and Audit DB in the existing DB.
Now, i started the installation by using same BI application admin user and it went till phase "Enter the information for new CMS" where it ask Oracle TNSNAME , username to connect to DB
I gave TNSNAME with absolute path and tried both users tbiadm and oratbi but it failed every time with an error.....
" Failure to validate the database credential has a potential to crash the database at a later stage. Enter the correct information. (STU00104) "
BOE is 32 bit but Db is 64 bit....
kindly suggest what needs to be done and what is that i am doing wrong.......
regards
S........

Hi,
check SAP Note - 1298935
Two other things...SAP does not recommend installing BOE on the same Host as your BI System. A seperate Host is recommended for BOE.
Its. nor a problem having the DB running on a 64Bit Arch. while the BOE Arch. is 32Bit.

Installing BOE Web Services on IIS

Is it possible to install BOE Web Services onto IIS with BOE XI 3.1 SP 3? We ultimately plan on using Live Office and we weren't sure if we were going to have to use Tomcat or not.

We used to be able to just add tomcat and the java SDK, if you have a BOE XI 3.1 installer I think you still can, but I don't think the edge and crystal reports server installers can. If you have either of them you will need to reinstall

Can I install BOE XI r2 on a CE 10 Server (not upgrade)?

Greetings! I have recently inherited responsibility of getting all our customers upgraded to BOE XI from CE 10. I am finding that if you attempt to install BOE XI R2 on the server that currently has CE 10, you have no choice but to upgrade.
Upgrading has two problems for our organization:
   #1- The events brought over from the CE 10 server do not function. You can see them,
         the history is all there, the schedule is "known" to BOE, but the data source is incorrect
         and cannot be updated. This could probably qualify as another question but frankly, I do
         not care if I fix this problem, provided I can do a separate BOE install and run the import
         utility. This is because of.......
   #2- When you upgrade there is no choice for changing the SQL database that Enterprise
         uses. We are a Progress shop, not an SQL shop so uniformity is very important here.
         Almost all installs/ upgrades will be performed by simply following printed directions.
         All new BOE customers will be on MySQL (as shipped with BOE R2), we really want
         consistent installs across our customer base if possible.
Obviously installing BOE XI R2 on a separate server would be an option but many of the smaller customers are barely using Enterprise now and not in a financial position to just go out and buy new servers.
What is BOE XI R2 looking for to determine that CE is installed? Is there a way to "trick" the installer into performing a fresh install yet still maintain the old CE MS SQL database to import the reports and repository?
Thank-you in advance for any help you can provide.
Happy New Year,
Bill

William,
It is not possible to install BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 alongside of Crystal Enterprise 10. You will have to upgrade the servers in place. Although speaking through my experience this process is fairly seemless and hardly ever has issue. If you are looking to do side by side installs and saving costs for your customer base I would recommend looking at using a virtualization product like VMware Server or Workstation as a temporary bridge to get both products installed side by side. Also one other thing you mentioned you are a progress shop, but you should know that the CMS repository database that runs the application can not be hosted on progress. MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, UDB DB2 and Sybase your only options for the CMS. For reporting you can use a wider range of products.

Installing BOE xi 3.1 sp3 on QA

hi everyone, we are having everything setup for dev environment.Right now we need to install boe on QA.
My question is: Do i need to have the permissions in CMS repository(oracle database) to create the cms tables to install QA BOE or can i move the tables(CMS_INFOOBJECTS6,.. etc) from dev environment . If we move the tables from dev to qa will the boe server works perfectly or is it mandatory to create the tables by the bo itself when installing boe.
And i use lcm to migrate the objects(reports, users) from dev to qa
Edited by: richa123 on Dec 9, 2010 5:21 PM

You're MUCH better off using the install to create new tables and then using LCM or the Import wizard to move stuff up from your dev environment.
The database doesn't contain the actual files - those are stored on disk in the Input and Output File Store folders - it just stores pointers to them. Also, many of the system objects (servers, etc.) have the machine name included in them. Since your QA system will be on a different server than your dev system, nothing will work because it won't have the right names.

Install BOE+SAP kit in server BW?

Hello,
I can install BOE XI 3.1 together with the SAP Integration Kit in the same server of BW 7?
THANKS

Hi,
well let me put the answer into two sections:
Technically it is possible to install the BOE Server and BW server on the same system - assuming we are talking about a supported operating system and hardware for both parts.
Is it recommended ? thats a different answers. thats like asking if you would install your ERP and BW system on the same hardware. technically possible but not best practice

Install BOE on 64 bit OS

I have windows server 2008 (64 bit), can I install Crystal Reports & BOE XI 3.1 on the server, will it work without any issue. Reason for asking this is, I installed Oracle 10g Client (32 bit) on the server and stated getting problems, it didn't create the Data Source drivers and also didn't allow me to install the ODAC.
Thanks

Hi
Business Objects Enterprise XI3.1 is supported on 64 bit Windows 2008. Same for CR
I checked the SP2 supported platforms document

Installing BOE Fixpacks on Windows XP

Hi,
We have BOE 3.1 installed on Windows XP.
Currently we need to install the Fixpacks 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. However it is taking a long time to install Fixpack 1.1 (It is staying in the screen "Validating install" for a very long time.) Although the progress bar is moving, it is at a very slow speed.
Any remedies for that?

Thanks a lot.
That was really helpful.
Need bit of help on Oracle Identity manager (IDM). We have installed IDM on windows and when we wanted to configure domain and configure the managed server instances (in weblogic server) by clicking config.bat from common/bin, we were not able to see the Identity manager instance in the list. What could be the reason?
Should IDM be part of same domain as webcenter spaces? When we were trying to work with sapces it was expecting oracle identity server to be running.
When installing the identity manager it was asking oracle home. Does that mean oracle db has to reside on the machine where IDM is installed? Could be this be affecting the IDM instance not appearing in the list?

Not able to Install BOE XI 3.1 Client

Dear All,
I have BOE XI 3.0 Client tool installed on my system. Now i want BOE XI 3.1 Client Tool on same system.
We have two server one is BOE XI 3.0 (Developement) and another is BOE XI 3.1 (Production)... So i want two Client in my system.
How can i achieve this??
I will really appreciate your suggestion.
Regards,
Rishit

Ok, but I had a test machine with BO version 3.0, and I think I was able to connect to it with Client tools 3.1
So, did you contemplate the idea of de-installing client 3.0, installing client 3.1 only, and try to access to your 3.0 server ?
You will only have 3.1 client tools on your machine, and would be easier .

Installed BOE XI R3.1 Client tools now I cant open crystal reports?

After I unistalled the client tools I cant open Crystal Reports from local drives. I can from BOE, but not local or network drives. Plus all the Icons from these drives have been removed. What did I do wrong?

Need more info and it's not clear what you did or what is left on your PC but typically which ever CR product you still have installed going to the Add/Remove software and doing a Repair install on Crystal Reports Designer should fix the problem.
Thank you
Don

Error Installing BOE in SUSE 10

Hi All,
My problem is following, please help me:
I installed the BOE successfully. I can log in and run the reports that did not base on SAP.
But when I installed the Integration Kit for SAP(IK). there is some error.
it is alway failed when scheduling reports, the error is       Error in File ~tmp23cd5e897820360.rpt: Failed to load database information.
In the "Authentication", there is only the two items Enterprise and LDAP, not SAP. So I think it should be failed in installing IK.
My installation steps as following:
I copy sapjco.jar librfccm.so libsapjcorfc.so to the relevant directory, use the following commands.
    cp sapjco.jar /usr/bo/bobje/tomcat/shared/lib
    cp librfccm.so libsapjcorfc.so /usr/bo/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86
and I also import the transports in SAP system
after that, I began to install IK.
OS is SUSE 10, BOE is XI3.1, JCO is 2.1.8 LNX64( sapjco-linuxx86_64-2.1.8.tgz ), and SAP BW system
Platform is X86 64bit
Please help me!!! Thanks!

Hi,
BusinessObjects is 32bit running on 64bit hardware.
OS is SUSE 10, BOE is XI3.1, JCO is 2.1.8 LNX64( sapjco-linuxx86_64-2.1.8.tgz ), and SAP BW system
>> jaca Connector should be 32bit

Hi Denis,
Before I created this message, I tried BOE XI 4.0 SP1 with Explorer 4.0 (i did not find SP1 for Explorer 4.0). The issue is the same as before. The following information is server information:
OS: Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit)
DB: MS SQL 2008 R2
Web Application: Tomcat 6.0.24
CPU: 16 (2.4GHZ)
RAM: 12GB
HardDisk: 700 G
No other applications are installed except MS Office.
Thanks for your reply. Any other clue?

Installing BOE XI 3.1 and Data Services on same server, recommended or not?

I am fairly new to the BusinessObjects world.
I have been told that it is not recommended that both BOE and Data Services exist on the same server. I was just wondering if
there is any documentation (best practice) or technical reason why these two could not coexist on the same server so that I can provide that to our server administrators.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
-Abel Duran

Hello,
you can do that for Test and Integration Environmenr but i would not recommend it on Production.
I noticed that not the RAM utilization is the "problem" with DS its more the Disk I/O. If you have the Filestore from BOE on the same physikal Disk as the JobServer from DS your Reportviewieng could be a bit slower.

BusinessObjects.msi not found when installing BOE R3 FixPack 1

I'm building a new R3 environment on a windows box. I can successfully install the base R3 package without error. Everything works, deploys, etc. When I try to run the installation for FixPack1, I get prompted to browse to the BusinessObjects.msi file. I think the install tries to find the msi from the base install in a temp folder, but it is no longer there...cleaned up for some reason.
Has anyone come across this? Any ideas on how to perform the FP1 installation without the BusinessObjects.msi file being available? Is there a local security policy that might be controlling the purge of the temp folder after the base install is complete?
Any ideas would help.
Thanks!

Just curious can you extract the file with winrar and then install. I haven't run across your particular error but that has resolved other issues for me.
Regards,
Tim

Can we install Business Objects Data Services XI 3.2 with BOE 3.1 SP2

Hi,
I want to install SAP Data Services XI 3.2 and BW 7.1 and BOE 3.1 SP2 are already in place. I want to know befor installation of Data Services that it is compatible with BOE 3.1 SP2. The documentation for Data services tell only about the compatibility of BW and not about BOE. If anybody has installed Data Services XI 3.2 with BOE 3.1 or knows about version compatibility, please shed some light.

Yes,
I have tried install BOE 3.1 SP2 and DS 3.2 SP2 together on 1 machine Windows 2003 64 bit before.
They works fine together.
Just make sure you deploy Tomcat correctly for DS Management Console.
Hope this helps,
Henry Le
