Installing Business Objects XI R2 on the same server (LPAR) multiple times

Greetings!
My goal is to create "multiple" Business Objects XI R2 instances on a single AIX LPAR, so that I might have up to 8 Business Objects environments.  Each environment would be be used to promote reports through test and eventually production.  Yes, I know 8 environments is a lot, they won't necessarily be running simultaneiously.  We do want 8 environments, with 8 CMS databases all separated.
I belive there are two possibilities:
1.  I can create 8 separate Business Objects installs, each in their own separate directory structure, each install owned by a different user.  Each installation would use a separate set of ports statically bound to each service that needs to be accessed over a firewall (like CMS, inputFRS, outputFRS,...). 
2.  Run a single installation of Business Objects and keep sepaarate CMS databases and repositories.   I doubt this would work as I've only been able to find configurations for clustering, in which all CMS servers use the SAME CMS database.  Is this option even possible?
Does anybody have any similar experiences using AIX?  I have already attempted getting a second install running (option #1) but so far I've not been able to keep the second environement's CMS server running using statically-bound ports.  They will, however, run simultaneously on the second install without statically binding the ports.
Server details:
IBM AIX 5.3 TL-08
Business Objects XI R2 SP4
CMS database - IBM DB2 9.1.4
Reporting database - IBM InfoSphere 9.5
Server separated by clients via firewall
Users will access Infoview, some access w/Crystal Reports XI
Thanks for your consideration,
Sean Boone

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I've gotten the two environments running but the CMC from one environment is trying to control the CMC from the other.  For example, I have added the two installations to a single machine and set them up as follows:
boadmin - userid of "first" environment
boadminf - userid of "second" environment
CMS #1:  boenv:6400
Tomcat ports:  8080, 8443, 8005 (std)
CMS #2: boenv:5500
Tomcat ports:  5905, 1720, 1731
So when I login to the CMC on CMS #1 and check "Settings" I see the database alias that I expect.  When I logout and then login to the second CMS I see the same CMS database alias.  In other words, they are both using the same database.  However when I run the "cmsdbsetup.sh" command, it shows the correct alias for each environment.
My only thought at this point might be that since the daemons were given default names I'm going to see the same "service names" even though they are controlled via a separate name server. 
Any clues as to what might be the cause here?
Thanks again!

  • The same Object Version Number for the same person id multiple times

    Hello all,
    I am currently facing an issue with HRMS tables and the object version number for employees. I am trying to write a report but due to the same object version number for the same person appearing in several row i am getting duplicate information. For example,
    person id 91 object version number 32 is on 4 rows and i have no idea why...help please guys, I'm at a lost so far 50 people are facing the same issue.

    Hi Baal666bobo,
    The person table is date-tracked, so the PK has effective start and end dates as well.
    Get the correct record with sysdate(or any particular date) and then check the OVN.
    Cheers,

  • How to Install R/3 and CRM on the same Server?

    Hi All,
    I would like to install R/3 and CRM on the same server (as the load is less). I know how to install them seperately.
    I would like to have some instructions how to have them installed on the same server.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    As Sunil explained - MCOD (or) you can think to have 2 differnt DB SID's as weel 2 different SAP SID's. By default 1st Installation takes Listener Name as LISTENER & port 1527 when you are doing second Oracle installation use another lister name as LISTENER002 & give port 1526 ( for example).
    MCOD will be the best option to unplug from oracle instalation requirement but - think of future plans. even it can be any size business don't think to do MCOD with SAP Business System like R3 .
    Becuase qwe may have different requirements from the Business / functionla Team for refreshing / building the development system with a copy of production system - don;t get confused there are Techniques for Refreshing a Development Instance with production system also.
    Any how you have to take decission to go with MCOD (or) not . I also request SUNIL to comment on MCOD installations  with R3 system .
    But  I beleive Sascha Version is wrong - i can have multiple application servers of differnet products on single Box if my OS supports.
    as application servers will have 3 individual mount point which points to different system
    <Central Instance>:/sapmnt/<SID>/global
    <Central Instance>:/sapmnt/<SID>/prfoile
    <Central Instance>:/sapmnt/<SID>/exe
    each SID  NFS mount point can point to different sever & i can multiple application server of differnt SAP Products on 1 BOX.
    Trans directory is problem - but it does not require either for installation (or) for runningAS instance .

  • Ok to installing NW 7.1 Mobile on the same server as CRM 7.0?

    Hi,
    On a physical server (HP-UX), we have CRM 7.0 (basis 7.01 SP7) installed already (development system). Is it possible to install NW 7.1 Mobile on the same server (as sandbox)? Is there any issues that you see this might cause?
    We will install the SUP and Relay server on a separate Linux box.
    Thank you for any pointers,
    -Serine

    It's not advisable to run separate installations of
    ColdFusion 7 and ColdFusion 8 single server on the same machine the
    re are several services that will try to use the same ports.
    However, you can install ColdFusion Enterprise using the
    multi-server configuration and then deploy the J2EE versions of
    ColdFusion to JRun. You can change the JVM that each instance uses
    (we recommend the latest 1.4 for CF7 and the latest 1.6 for CF8),
    and everything should run fine.
    ColdFusion itself is essentially just a J2EE application, the
    J2EE server itself is JRun 4. So the specific answer to your
    question is "don't install 2 copies of JRun 4 to the same machine".
    But yes, it's 100% possible, I'm running this configuration in my
    own development environment.

  • Installing different versions of Oracle on the same server

    We have a client that is currently on Oracle version 9.2.0.3. There is a project beginning that will have them upgrading to either 10g or 11g(still tbd). The project will have this happening in different steps. Therefore, we will need to continue to have the 9.2.03 db up and available while certain accounts are being migrated to the newer version.
    Question is - can you install 2 versions of Oracle on the same server without any issues?
    Or would we be better off purchasing a separate server to install 10g or 11g.

    Depending on the OS certification you should be able to run both. You'll probably have to patch up the OS though. One of my servers has 3 different Oracle homes (9.2.0.5 - 10.2.0.2).
    You can check the certification by clicking on the certify tab in metalink.

  • Re: Running the same (Forte) application multiple times -for different

    Hi
    We had the same problem - how to deploy a number of identical applications, using each their own db.
    (for training).
    The solution we used is to wrap the entire application into different applications by using a very small
    module called KURSUS01, KURSUS02 etc, that did nothing but call the start procedure of the main app.
    Then in the dbsession connect, we made a call appname to get the application name, and appended the
    first 8 chars to the dbname. Thus our dbnames now points to logicals name: rdbdataKURSUS01, rdbdataKURSUS02 etc.
    All this allows us to deploy the identical apps in the same env, or change one version, and run both the old
    and new program on the same pc and server at the same time (eg. KURSUS01 and KURSUS02).
    I also think this is a kludge - but it works nicely!

    Subject: Running the same (Forte) application multiple times - for different business clients.
    Hi All
    We have a number of different business clients all willing to use our
    application.
    The (forte) application is to run on our machines etc for these (business)
    clients.
    All (business) clients will have their data kept in separate Oracle DBs
    (instance).
    The problem now is that the entire (forte) application is written using
    DBSessions.
    Now, depending on what business client needs to be serviced (so to speak) we
    need to attach to the right DB - or use the "right" SO.
    The two options we can think of are:
    Option1:
    Programatic change to somehow "know" what (business) client (DB) I'm talking
    about and then use the right DB.
    Pro:
    Only one forte environment to maintain
    Can run multiple (business) clients on same PC at the same time
    Con:
    Requires many program changes
    bending O-O rules(?)
    can't dynamically name SOs so can it be done at all? (ResourceMGRs maybe?)
    Option2:
    Use separate environments! One for each business client.
    Pro:
    More defined separation of app and data,
    SLA-easy
    Con:
    Maintain "n" number of environments
    Can only run the application for one environment (business client) at a time
    on one PC - Big Negative here!
    Not knowing any feasible solution to option 1 (without much code changes and
    developer moaning) I would go for option two; as I have already worked on
    multi-environment setups on VMS back at the Hydro (hi guys).
    I would appreciate any comments from anyone who has solved this problem.
    How, Why Pro Con etc.

  • TS2755 keep receiving the same text message multiple times, at the same time of the night. How can I stop this?Thabnks

    Hi
    I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
    Cheers

    Deleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.

  • IPhone keeps sending the same text message multiple times in a row.

    My iphone (4s) keeps sending people the same text message multiple times (2-4) a few seconds inbetween.  Sometimes it will tell me that there the message failed, but they still recieve it multiple times.  I've already tried deleting the message tread and reset network settings.  Nobody who has an iphone has said anything to me about it yet, only people with android.  

    It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
    They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

  • Can I install two versions of NW in the same server?

    I have BW installed in a server running on Netweaver 7.3. but I need to install Netweaver 7.02 to do some tests, is it possible to install this other version in the same server? or will there be conflicts after the installation of the second version?
    Thanks in advance,
    Luis.

    HI,
    sapinst detects existing instances, and makes sure that you dont use the same instance numbers => same tcp ip ports for diferent sap instances, wich would cause conflits.
    so in the limit you can install any number os sap systems on the same host, given you have enought hardware resourses.

  • How to install a new oracle 9i  in the same server where a 8i is installed

    Hello and sorry for been an inexperience dba.
    Now I need to install 9i oracle version in the same server (solaris os-5.9) where is previously installed a 8i. I'm reading the installation guide and I know that I have to make two different oracle home, and then two different owners .
    My problem is when I've seen the kernel parameters and their permissions and of course all of them have the owner the old oracle user.
    Do you know if I have to change some of this parameters?
    How to do that, and where can I find some guide to follow ?
    thanks in advance

    and then two different owners .Not necessarily, you can use the same OS user, of course on a different Oracle Home.
    where can I find some guide to follow ?http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/pre.htm#sthref106

  • How can I have use the same div ID multiple times on the same page?

    Okay so a problem I encounter a lot is that often times I want to use the same div ID several times on the same page. An example of this is when I'm creating table like designs.
    Let's say for instance I create a div ID called 'product-container'. I want to use 'product-container' multiple times on the same page but if I do this it is improper XHTML and will throw errors in any XHTML validator (you are only allowed to use a div ID once on any XHTML page in order for it to be standards compliant).
    Now the first option is that I could define 'product-container' in my CSS style sheet multiple times by doing something like this...
    #product-container {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-2 {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-3 {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-4 {
         width: 300px;
    What you will see there however is that it seems pointless to define the same ID numerous times over (just adding a number on the end) when each ID is the exact same thing and has the exact same attributes.
    Now what I have noticed is that there are some sites out there who manage to have the same ID appear several times in the code but add a number to it just like above. The difference is that they only have one definition for 'product-cointainer' in their CSS document but in their actual XHTML code they have IDs for 'product-container' but with numbers on the end like 2,3,4,5, etc. It's almost as if JavaScript or some other code is automatically appending a number on the end of the ID so the validator won't consider the markup to be invalid, but yet it knows that it's using the same 'product-container' style that is contained in the CSS style sheet.
    I hope I explained this correctly. I'm just hoping to find a way that I can put the same div ID on a page multiple times without having to define it over and over again in my CSS.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Because it seems like by using a class you can't make this position as 
    well as you can by using an ID. Am I wrong?
    An ID name can be used only one time per page.  A class name can be used multiple times per page.

  • Reusing the same jsp include multiple times on the same page

    If someone knows a way out of this
    I'd like to print out 2 records of the same data type I have a JSP include which does that.
    Now my issue is how to use the same include twice on the same page
    Ideally I would like to do the following:
    <%
    request.setAttribute("person", person1);
    %>
    <jsp:include page="./person.jsp"/>
    <%
    request.setAttribute("person", person2);
    %>
    <jsp:include page="./person.jsp"/>
    And in person.jsp
    I could have
    <h:inputText name=#{person.name}/>
    This fails in the updateModel phase - And I realize why it's failing. There really is no person managed bean.
    It's just that I am at a kind of loss as to what I need to do now -
    Am missing something or is it just impossible to use jsp:includes the way Ive tried to?

    I do not understand, have you created a backing bean named person? Have you defined it in your config file?
    Please copy/paster your backing bean code and config file.
    Normally, you can set directly the value of the bean by using some java code in your jsp instead of setting the request attribute.

  • How to copy and paste the same answer choices multiple times

    I am making testing forms and each question has the same multiple choice answer selection.  I have been having to type each one of them individually instead of being able to duplicate it for each question.  How can I do what in Word would just be a "copy and paste" function?

    So you want the user/person to do the "cut&paste" action (ie. ctrlc ctrlv) and have the data paste itself across rows correctly much like Excel does. I don't think this "intelligence" is built into Adobe table controls as it is in Excel (and Excel is smart enough to even handle it different ways depending on how the user selects cells).
    The only thing I can think of is that you could "capture" the user trying to paste into a cell/row in your table (maybe in the onFocus or onClick events), then grab the data, parse it out (but looking for some character) and then have your code distribute the data across the rows. However, I personally think that would be a lot of overkill and prone to other issues and errors.
