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

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.

  • Problem at installation FixPack 3.3 on BOE XI 3.1 SP3

    Hi Colleagues.
    When I try to install FixPack 3.3 on BOE XI 3.1 SP3, I have a problem-progress of installation is stoped on 17% in phase "Running Post Install Actions".
    You can see the last strings in setup's log file (BusinessObjects_FP_3_3.12.3.log):
    ========================================================================
    ====== [1294737999] Running Post Install Actions

    I think installation process could't to stop SIA and therefore could't go to next phase of installation.
    OS is HP-UX v.11. Also I have a installed BOE XI 3.1 SP3. User for BOE in UNIX is "boeadm".
    I started installation by root. Maybe the problem in this?
    Maybe I should was to start installation by user "boeadm"?
    Please help..
    thanks&regards,
    Yessen

    Well to answer my own question it looks like you do need to run the repair as the same user that did the original install.
    /srv/sap/sap_bobj/ccm.sh -stop all 2>&1
    Warning: This product was installed under username: sap-cr
    Current username is:
    Press Enter to continue...
    After running as the correct user I get this:
    /srv/sap/sap_bobj/ccm.sh -stop all 2>&1
    Stopping all...

  • 10.31GA Weblogic is not supported by BOE integration Kit BOE XI 3.1 SP3

    Hi Team,
    I have successfully installed  BOE XI 3.1 SP3 in our Windows System during the set I have selected the Web Logic domain
    of 10.31 GA location. After that I was trying to install the Integration Kit for this also I have selected the automatic Deploy  option and Web Logic domain of 10.31 GA location but the Kit shows that Incompatible WebLogic version  but I went ahead installed Integration Kit. Kit shown that successfully installed message. But Not even single Apps is deployed under WebLogic Deployments . Could you please advise on this?
    Thanks
    Balan.P

    First of all, there is no reason to start with Xi3.1 SP3. If you're just starting deployment, you should go with Xi3.1 Sp5. Way too many bugs are fixed since Sp3.
    As to the deployment issue, use wdeploy to predeploy all apps for weblogic, then use WL console to deploy those into WL.
    The process is described in the WebApplications deploy guide.
    This manual process is more reliable vs. auto deploy during setup.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Which version of Websphere Application Server for BOE XI 3.1 SP3?

    Hi,
    We are planning to migrate from BOE XI R2 to BOE XI 3.1 SP3 and we have to decide which application server would be the best choice. In a document "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 for Windows u2013 Supported Platforms" WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.7 is mentioned as one of supported application servers. What about versions following 6.1.0.7, are they also supported?

  • 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
