Install Data Services(DS) 4.0 on IPS4.0 SP2, DS icon not visible on CMC

Hello,
Here is the issue we are facing:
1. Installed IPS 4.0 SP2 on Server #1. Installed tomcat as well on the same server.
2. Login to CMC to verify. It looks good.
3. Installed DS 4.0 SP1 on Server #2.
4. Use server#3 with MS SQL Server 2008 DB for creating CMC and DS Repos.
5. Login to DS Designer successfully.
6. Login to CMC.
7. You should see a Data Services icon in the CMC. BUT the Data Services (DS) icons not available
When you install IPS4.0 and DS4.0 on the same server, it works fine. We have done this.
I have been told that this is a IPS4.0/DS4.0 bug and that SAP is working on it. I haven't seen a solution anywhere for this yet. Has anyone faced this issue and what did was done to resolve this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Resolved it with SAP's help.
We had to run DS 4.0 installer on the IPS (so that CMS is local) server
and install the DS EIM APS + Management Console on the IPS box.
I have attached the screen shot of the features to install.
Thanks

Hi all,
I`m trying to install Data services on Unix solaris and when I write ' ./install.sh' on command line it show this:

If you continue your installation maybe not work correctly.

Any idea whit this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eduardo,
if its not in there its not supported.
I made the experience that it somethimes work installing a BO product on a not supported UNIX OS. But that was mainly BOE not DS.
Maybe you can install DS on open Solaris but you wont get support for it.
If you really need to know when or if open solaris is supported than i would suggest you raise a Support MEssage at SAP.

Installing Data Service 3.01 by Console

Hello, I need to install the aquaLogic data services in a VM with Red Hat Enterprise and by the console version of the DSP aldsp_301 for linux x86 does not enable mode installation shell by ssh (putty). This .jar file.
I need this DS version because some were made with this version that is compatible with platform 9.2.
Does anyone know how to perform this installation via the console or some other means?

Get-Hotfix InstalledOn property not returning hotfix installed Date and Time on Windows Server 2008 SP2 but works on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I am working on a validation script to get the list of hotfixes installed on Domain Controllers every month as part of our monthly DC patching process. I have been successful in getting these details for DC's with (Windows Server 2008
R2 SP1, Powershell v2.0) using the below command.
Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object PSComputerName,HotFixID,Description,InstalledBy,InstalledOn | where InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d) | FT -AutoSize
I execute the above from a jump box with powershell v4.0 (Server 2008 R2)
However, when I try the same command from the jump box to query DC's with (Server 2008 SP2, powershell v2.0). It doesn't return the InstalledOn date and time. It was giving error for the InstalledOn property and hence I renamed it to $_.InstalledOn. Now
I don't get error but still no details displayed for InstalledOn property.
I tried using the below, as could see on few forums that this might resolve the issue. I also tried removing the "where" part but still no installation date returned.
Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object HotFixID, Description, InstalledBy, @{l="InstalledOn";e={[DateTime]::Parse($_.psbase.properties["installedon"].value,$([System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::GetCultureInfo("en-US")))}}
| where {$_.InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d)} | FT -AutoSize
Have tried this locally on the 2008 SP2 DC but still not working. Please advise what is going wrong?
Note: If I execute the below command locally on the 2008 SP2 DC, I am getting the InstalledOn output. However, when executed from the jump box with powershell v4.0 (Server 2008 R2) to query
the same 2008 SP2 DC, it just gives the prompt again without any error or output. This behavior is consistent for other 2008 SP2 DC's in the environment.
Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object HotfixID,Description,InstalledBy,InstalledOn | where {$_.InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d)} | FT -AutoSize

Hi jrv, I have already tried the Win32_QuickFixEngineering option, which doesn't work either. Apologies for not mentioning the workarounds that I have already tried.
Get-Hotfix seems to be just a wrapper for Win32_QuickFixEngineering as per the below article. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849836.aspx)
I have seen a mention of using the WU ActiveX control on few forums, but was too lazy to read it through.
After rigorous testing, it makes me realize that somewhere the Get-Hotfix dates formatting\comparison isn't working.

Data Services and Data Quality Recommnded Install process

Hi Experts,
I have a few questions. We have some groups that have requested Data Quality be implemented along with another request for Data Services to be implemented. I've seen the requested for Data Services to be installed on the desktop, but from what I've read, it appears to be best to install this on the server side to allow for more of a central benefit to all.
My questions are:
1. Can Data Services (Server) install X.1 3.2 be installed on the same server as X.I 3.1 SP3 Enterprise?
2. Is the Data Services (CLIENT) Version dependent on if the Data Services (Server) install is completed? Basically can the u201CData Services Designeru201D be used without the Server install?
3. Do we require a new License key for this or can I use the Enterprise Server license key?
4. At this time we are not using this to move data in and out of SAP, just using this to read data that is coming from SAP.
From what I read, DATA Services comes with the SAP BusinessObjects Data Integrator or SAP BusinessObjects Data Quality Management solutions. Right now it's seems we dont have a need for the SAP Connection supplement, but definetly something we would implement in the near future. What would be the recommended architecture? A new Server with tomcat and cmc (seperate from our current BOBJ Enterprise servers)? or can DataServices be installed on the same?
Thank you,
Teresa

Hi Teresa.
Hope you are referring to BOE 3.1 (Business Objects Enterprise) and BODS (Business Objects Data Services) installation on the same server machine.
Am not an expert on BODS installation.
But this is my observation :
We had recently tested on a test machine BOE BOXI 3.1 SP3 (full build) installation before upgrade of our BOE system.
We also have BODS in our environment.
Which we also wanted to check whether we could keep on the same server.
So on this test machine, which already has BOXI 3.1 SP3 build, when i installed BODS server installation,
what we observed was that,
all the menus of BOE went away
and only menus of BODS were seen.
May be BODS installation overwrites/ or uninstalls BOE, if it already exists ?
I dont know. Though i could not fine any documentation, saying that we cannot have BODS and BOE on the same server machine. But this is what we observed.
So we have kept BODS and BOE on 2 different machines running independently and we do not see any problem.
Cheers

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,

Data Services 4.0 installation with MS SQL 2008

hey guys,
I am trying to install data services 4.0 on a windows server with MS SQL database as the repository database. So, my plan was to install MS SQL 2008 first, then IPS, then data services. But i am facing a problem in installation of MS SQL itself. I installed MS SQL with following features - database engine, client tools and management tools. The installation process was smooth and the sql server services (server and agent) both startup just fine. I installed a custom instance for the same.
But problem is when I open the management studio and try to connect to the database engine, it does not connect, I choose database engine as the server type, local hostname as the server name and windows authentication as the authentican type but it fails with the following error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to <myservername>.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=MicrosoftSQLServer&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476
BUTTONS:
OK
Any clues as to what is causing this ??? Or is it normal at this stage of installation ?? I am confused. I have already tried to reinstall the server, no good, nothing in the event logs either.
Thanks,
RS

resolved via following:
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab, several IP addresses appear in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll. One of these is for the IP address of the loopback adapter, 127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties to identify the IP address that you want to configure.
If the TCP Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating the Database Engine is listening on dynamic ports, delete the 0.u201D
Once I deleted those zeros and put in 1433 for TCP ports on each IP address, voila!

Web services Connection_Operations.Logon call fails on Data Services 4.0

Hello,
We recently installed Data Services 4.0. We have a custom Java app which makes use of the web services interface. We had previously used Axis to generate the java class. With DS 4, it looks like the Logon method did change as it now requires the cms system and authentication. We manually updated the java classes to includes these, which has been our general approach in the past for newer releases. However DS 4 uses Axis2 and I'm not sure that this approach would work.
My problem is that the "Logon" call fails with very little details.
In viewing both the webadmin.log and WebService.log it only reports the following:
11/02/2011 18:42:17 [ SEVERE ] Logon failed. Error: null
I understand that I can control the logging detail . The Integrator Guide for DS 4.0, has the following instruction, yet there is no log4j.properties file on my system?
"To control the level of detail in the webadmin.log file, you must edit the log4j.properties file.
The properties file is located in:
LINK_DIR\ext\webserver\webapps\acta_web_admin\WEB-INF
To obtain a debug trace of events, change the log level from the default of INFO to DEBUG. For example,
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A"
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hello,
Unfortunately, stdout.log below doesn't show anything possibly due to some mis-configuaration of log4j.properties. In my previous post I requested info on which log4j.properties should be modified as the documentation in the DS 4.0 Integrator's guide mentions a none-existent path?

Need Help on Configurations of Data Services on IBM AIX Platform

Hi All,
We are in the process of installing Data Services XI 3.2 on IBM AIX platform.We are having some showstoppers which we are not able to resolve.
It would be of great help to us if anyone can give some inputs.
Lanscape:
Data services server: Server A
OS - AIBM AIX
DB2 Database: Server B
OS - AIBM AIX
Activities Performed till now on DB2 Side:
Multi user development:
1.       Created 2 DBu2019s on Server B
·          REPO_CR (Central Repository u2013 Which is used for multi-user environment).
·          REPO_LR (Local Repository u2013 Which is used for actual development like login and build   jobs).
2.       Created multiple schemas under REPO_LR(One Schema for each user).
·          User1, User2, User3, etcu2026 (These schemas can hold metadata of Data Services XI which can be used for reference).
Each and every schema should have itu2019s their own user name and password
Activities Performed till now on Data Services Side:
1.Installed Dataservices
Activities Yet to be done on Data Services Side:
1.Configure Repository manager (Create central repository REPO_CR of type sucure using repository manager)
2.Configure Job Server(Create a Job server and assign the local repository REPO_LR to the same)
Issues:
While creating the central repository usning the below command:
./repoman -UCRREP -Ppassword -SServer B -NDB2 -QREPO_CR -tcentral -c -a -d
an error ocurred as :"Error while creating the Local Repository"
I think we are getting this error because of some connectivity issue between DB2 server and Data services Server.
Please share all of your valuable thoughts.
Note:Our DB2 admin said we cannot create any ODBC connections on AIX platform
Thanks,
Muni

the arguments that you are passing to repoman are not correct, if your server name has space then you should enclose that in quotes, else it will be treated as 2 arguments, you are passing -SServer B it should be -S"Server B"
-SServer B
I don't think you need to pass -Q option for DB2, its required only for Sybase Repo
for DB2 you will have to install the DB2 Client, and create a Node and Catalog the database on that node
if you are able to open DB2 command prompt form the unix and use that database, then try using the following args to create DB2 Repo
-Uusername -Ppassword -NDB2 -SDBName -tcentral -c -a -d
or better use Repository Manager from Windows to create repos

SAP R3 Connection in Data Services - Configuration is

Dear all,
We are having an error when going through the steps in the configuration of BusinessObjects Data Services 3.2 with R3. The error is in the SAP R3 server.
Herewith the steps in regular font (based on the SAP BusinessObjects guide) and our output results in bold. If you can take a look on it, it will be great for us.
To install provided functions using the CTS system:
1.     Copy the provided transport files to the appropriate directories on the SAP server.
Installing Functions on the SAP Server Installing the functions using CTS
Note:
In these steps, 900XXX.SXX is a variable. To substitute the correct file name for the current release, see the readme.txt file in the ...\DataServices\admin\R3_Functions\transport directory.
-     Copy R900XXX.SXX to the /usr/sap/trans/data directory.
-     Copy K900XXX.SXX to the /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directory.
As we have R3 connection we have moved the R63 file. Complete name of the files are:
-     R900086.R63
-     K900086.R63
2.     Log on to the SAP server and run the transaction /nSE37 to determine if function group ZAW0 already exists. The CTS system will install the Data Services functions into a single function group ZAW0 that it automatically creates on the SAP server if it does not already exist.
-     If function group ZAW0 exists and contains previously installed Data Services functions, add an unconditional mode 2 option (parameter U2) to the tp import command described in step 4 below (tpimport S<xx>K900<xxx> <SID> U2).
-     If function group ZAW0 exists and is used for another purpose, modify the transport file to use a different function group (such as ZAW1) to install the Data Services functions. Make sure the function group you use does not already exist in your system.
-     If you are installing the transport files on a Unicode-enabled SAP server, manually create the function group ZAW0 with the Unicode attribute set.
In our case we have found there is already a ZAW0 created -> nothing to do in this step
3.     From a command window, run the following transport command:
-     tp addtobuffer S<xx>K900<xxx> <SID>
(where SID is the SAP system ID)
You receive the response:
This is tp version <SAP TP and SAP versions> for <database type> database.
Addtobuffer successful for S<xx>K900<xxx> tp finished with a return code: 0 meaning:
Everything OK
This is the command we have run and the error retrieve
The SID is NDV.
C:\tp addtobuffer R63k900086 NDV
This is tp version 372.04.57 (release 700, unicode enabled)
E-TPSETTINGS could not be opened.
EXIT
Error in TPSETTINGS: transdir not set.
tp returncode summary:
TOOLS: Highest return code of single steps was: 0
ERRORS: Highest tp internal error was: 0208
tp finished with return code: 208
meaning:
error in transportprofil (param missing, unknown, ....)
We have modified the statement with different names for the R63 file, but we didnu2019t success. We are retrieving same error.
We also have applied the command in the following link:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/etpsettings-could-not-be-opened-875506
and retrieve another error. The following step would be doing the u201CSAPEVTPATHu201D downloading, but, we are not sure if this would fix the issue or if the issue is related to something else.
4.     Run the next transport command:
tp import S<xx>K900<xxx> <SID>
(where SID is the SAP System ID)
We couldnu2019t reach this point, as we are having an error in the command below.
Thanks for your help on this!

There is a problem in the transport file supplied with BODS installation folder. Pls refer to the SAP Note :
1616269 - Problems when installing Data Services 4.0 SAP transport files (900155.R63)
We have used the new transport files but we are still getting the below warnings in the log files and it returned with return code 4 :
Maximum length ("255") for "CHAR" in transparent tables exceeded
The SAP Note 1446648 - Warning Messages installing SAP R3 transports for Data Services sayou can ignore those warnings but we are still not able to see the ZAW0 Function group in SE37.
Let me know if you are able to do it successfully.

Query regarding BO Data services installation

I am in process of installing BO data services on Unix(AIX) system. I need to install DATA SERVICES XI 3.2 SP3. For this I have downloaded the installables and patches from marketplace. We have following queries:
1. On installation of the data services can we directly apply SP3 patch1 or we need to install SP1, SP2 and SP3 first.
2. How to check the version of SP installed. I have applied SP3 patch1 but I am not able to check the same.
3. During installation, I have skipped the step of creating the repository as I need to do it later using repoman, can this be a reason of that I am not able to upgrade SP for this?
Any pointers on this would be helpful.

check the JobServer log in the %LINK_DIR%\log\<JobServerName>\server_eventlog_<date>.log file
look for the following entry
Sending notification to <inet:ip-address:port number> here ip-address is the ip-address of the Designer machine, try to ping from the job server machine on that ip or try to do a telnet
telnet <ip-address> <port number>
what is the status of JobServer on Designer?
where is you DI webServer installed? on the same machine as Designer ? or on the JobServer machine

Is BOE 4.0 integrated with Data Services XI 4.0

Hi,
I have gone through some blogs and documentation on Data Services XI 4.0 and some where it is mentioned that BOE 4.0 is integrated with Data Services XI 4.0. Is it true? If it is true then i want to know how can we integrate BOE 3.1 SP2 with data services XI 4.0 because right now we are using BOE 3.1 SP2, BW 7.01 and want to install Data Services XI 4.0 unless there is no compatibility issue between them.
I need this information immediately because we have to install data services if its compatible with BOE 3.1 SP2 and BW 7.01.

Hi Aditya,
From the XI 4.0 Data Services Upgrade Manual:
2.1 Major changes in Data Services XI 4.0
Unlike previous releases of Data Services and Data Integrator, SAP BusinessObjects Data Services
XI 4.0 introduces central user management, which relies on SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. Users
are authenticated against the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise security, and repositories are registered
in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
You can use either an existing SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0 installation to manage Data
Services users and repositories, or SAP BusinessObjects Information platform services, which is availabe
to all Data Services customers and contains the required SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise services for
user management.
For information about installing SAP BusinessObjects Information platform services, see the SAP
BusinessObjects Data Services Installation Guide.
So it sounds like you can't use an exisiting BOE XI 3.1 CMC, but would need to upgrade it to XI 4.0 or use the SAP BusinessObjects Information platform services, which is included with XI 4.0 Data Services.

Impact of Data Services on existing BO environment

Hi All,
Currently, we have BO XI 3.1 SP3 with Xcelsius and having the Bex queries as source for our universes created. We are planning to install Data Services too. Can anyone please guide me, that post installation of data services, what are impacts , if any?
How the DS servers will be managed, will there be different console or we can manage the servers as we are doing thru CMC.
Pls advice.
Many thanks in advance.

One of the major impact will be on the Tomcat application server as the DS will deploy the DS related warfiles on this application server

On BO XI 3.1 the DS servers will be managed trough the seperate console not possible within CMC.
