Installing Fix Pack for Business Objects EDGE XI R3

Hi,
Has anyone had any experience installing the Business Objects EDGE XI R3 fixpack?
I'm curious as to how to install it and what changes it will make.  I tried quickly searching the SAP support site and did not find much.
I want to find out as much as possible before installing this in a LIVE system.
We are using RHEL with tomcat and mysql for our system.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi,
you can find the "fixed issues" and "whats new" documents at the download of the FP. Just click the "Info" link and you will be pointed to the Documents.
You only need to install a FP if this solves an actual Bug you are facing with.
The only installation Problem i often face is the deployment of the Web Applications of the Fix Pack. Somethimes i have to re- deploy all the war Files using wdeploy.
So if you have a custom Web Application deployed on  your BOE Tomcat or customized the BOE Application make a Backup before.
Regards
-Seb.

  • Service Packs and Fix Packs for Business Objects XI Release 2

    Hi,
    How can I know wich services pack or fix packs are installed on my server? I have installed Business Objects XI Release 2, and Xcelsius 2008 Release 2, and Live Office.
    Do you know where can I download a spreedsheet that contains informatiion about the fix packs or service packs and the issues that solved??
    Thanks
    Lilia

    Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
    There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
    However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
    Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
    latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
    To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
    As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

  • No PowerPoint or PDF after installing Fix Pack 2 for Xcelsius Present 2008

    Have installed Fix Pack 2 for Xcelsius Present 2008
    Seemed like big improvement - smoother and no crashes.
    But -
    Exported to PowerPoint, closed everything down. Opened PowerPoint file and nothing.
    Exported to PDF - said that I should upgrade to new Flash program. Installed Flash 10. - Opened PDF file and nothing.
    Please help

    Hi Bruce,
    Try exporting to .SWF and seeing if you can run that without a problem.
    Then try importing that .SWF into PowerPoint to see if you can set that up without a problem.
    From there we can see if it is an Xcelsius issue or another PC issue.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Business Objects Edge SP2

    Hello,
    Does anyone have any updated information as to when SP2 will be released for Edge?
    I have an issue with version 3.1 regarding a reverse pivot not giving correct results, which I think is addressed in this fix:
    ADAPT01316434
    Reverse Pivot transforms produced incorrect result when a Table Comparison transform appears in the downstream in the same data flow.
    For info - a workaround to this problem is to include a temporary table connected directly to the reverse pivot, as well as the rest of your flow. Not ideal, but it does then function correctly.
    Thanks,

    I installed the business object edge series and business object edge integration. The guide of edge integration tells to confirm if the file sap_desktop.war exists, and this file WASN'T created. Does anyone knows why??

  • Going from Crystal XI to Crystal 2008 (Business Objects Edge).

    Hi. I currently use Crystal XI use BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 to schedule and run my (our) reports.
    I rang the customer support line and they said my questions were best tried out here in the forums.
    I currently have five licences for Crystal XI.
    I am looking at looking at going over to Crystal 2008, which comes in the Business Objects Edge, standard package.
    I had a few questions about doing this and I was hoping the community will be able to assist with.
    1. If I go ahead with Crystal 2008 will it need to totally replace my Crystal XI set up? For example could I have some of my staff using XI, and other staff members using 2008, but be able to schedule (and save) the reports centrally from my existing Business Objects Enterprise server?
    2. Or would it be simpler to roll out Crystal 2008, via the Business Objects Edge standard package, and migrate the reports from XI to 2008, and in doing so totally replace the use of Crystal XI altogether?
    - Are there compatibility issues with migrating reports designed in XI into 2008?
    - If so was the quickest solution to rebuild existing reports in 2008?
    - Is it simple to do? (say as simple as re-opening the XI reports in 2008 and clicking save?
    I appreciate any comments in advance.
    Hab.

    The 2nd option is the one officially supported by SAP.
    Regarding the XI reports stored in the XI R2 repsoitory:
    You should just install BO Edge 3.1 on a new server and migrate your XI R2 repository contents into the new installation. YOu can use the ImportWIzard for this.
    Regarding local XI reports:
    Local XI reports can be migrated by opening them using the CR Designer 2008 and just saving them back to the local filesystem.
    BTW if you run into problems with a report which was migrate it as part of the XI R2 repository you can also try to open it from the Edge 3.1 repository using the CR 2008 Designer and save it back again.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - saving to Business Objects Edge

    Post Author: GWilks
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi,
    When trying to Open or Save a report in Crystal Reports 2008 to the Business Objects Edge server, the following message is received:
    Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS.
    Does anyone know when or if these two versions will be updated to support each other?
    Thanks,
    Garry

    Hi Jeffrey,
    The problem when ever you see that error is due to the versions mismatch. The is due to a call into one the updated or older versions of the dll that doesn't exist where it is expected.
    They MUST be the same version number.
    Options are to bring BOE up to SP3 and FP 3.1 also or roll back CR to SP 2 and Fix Pack 2.7.
    Thank you

  • SAP Business Objects Edge 3.0

    Hi Gurus,
    I was downloaded the SAP Business objects Edge 3.0 Trial version from SAP. I am using SAP 4.7 with oracle 9.2 DB... I want to integrate Edge 3.0 with our SAP for reporting purpose.. Please explain how can i configure this and what are the other softwares are required for this. I go throw the guides but i am not getting clear idea.
    Now i just installed the business objects enterprise in one system web console are login correctly.
    But i don't know how to connect my SAP DB with this.
    Please help me.
    Regards
    Mahendran

    Hi,
    you still need the mentioned software packages even if you do not have an SAP BI system. You can  also configure your SAP R/3 system to do the BO authentication. The main difference is that you have to use crystal reports in order to access the data in your SAP system. You cannot report using Web Intelligence (universes) on an SAP R/3 data source. 
    So you have to do the following:
    1) Install the SAP BusinessObjects Edge 3.0 software on host A
    2) Install the Crystal Reports Designer 2008 V0 on host B (HostA and hostB can also be the same computer)
    3) Install the Java Connector 2.1.8 on host A ([http://service.sap.com\connectors]). You will find more information on this in the installation guide of the integration Kit for SAP solutions.
    3) Install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host A (Choose the server option in the installation). Please follow the instructions in the installation guide on how to do this.
    4) If hostA and hostB are two different machines then please install also the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host B (Choose the desktop option in the installation) 
    5) Import the transports delivered in the integration KIT for SAP solutions in your SAP R/3 system (Check the installation guide for more information on these steps)
    6) Configure the SAP authentication in your BOBJ Edge system (necessary if you want to logon with your SAP credentials in BOBJ)
    This way you should be able to create reports based on  your SAP R/3 data.

  • Language attributes for business objects ERC_CDCY

    Hello,
    I need to activate TREX index ERC_CDCY from our e-recruiting system using SES_ADMIN transaction.
    When I activate it, I receive error message UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION (CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB) at the
    relational index level (Relation of candidacy).
    I opened a message with SAPnet and got the following answer:
    Indexes are only created in english compared to others systems that contains indexes in both languages (EN, FR). We could not find any french attributes for business objects ERC_CDCY which is required (at least 7 words) to index it in french language.
    Do you know which transaction or SPRO menu path I could use to maintain de language attributes and the 7 words?
    Thanks for you help
    Hugo

    Hello Huga,
    About maintaining the language in E-Rec  you can have a look at the table
    V_T77RCF_SELANGU, there you can maintain the different language.
    The exception you are getting might be coming from the TREX side. please check the following notes:

  • EWA for Business Objects (XI 3.1) within SAP Solution Manager

    Hello!
    We use Business Objects (XI 3.1) and would like to get weekly a EWA report within our SAP Solution Manager.
    Our SAP Solution Manger has only ABAP stack and it has the SPS version 25.
    We also do not use Wily Introscope/Diagnostics and E2E tools within SAP Solution Manager.
    Question
    Is it possible to set up EWA for Business Objects with our requirements (SOLMAN with ABAP stack and without E2E/Diagnostics tools)?

    Hello,
    The short answer is no. You can verify this in SAP Note  1507629  - Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager.
    "...1.) Managed System Setup
    Perform the Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as
    described in the "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup
    Guide". This guide can be found in the SAP Service Market Place:
    -> http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
        -> Navigate to the "Media Library"
           -> Open the document "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide"
    Please ensure that you perform all steps mentioned in the guide which
    are relevant for your product and version. Please read also SAP note
    1357901, which is also referred to in the above mentioned setup guide."
    So this is a requirement. There are also pdf documetns attached to this note  that describe how to setup the EWA in Solution Manager. EGI_SBOP_EWA_part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_part2.pdf.
    The fact you have no Java stack and have not installed Diagnostics, just means it has not been done. It can be done and then you can do a managed system setup, and the balance of tasks required to prepare the system and Solution manager to generate EWA reports for the BOE system. Its just more work, not a show stopper.

    Paul

  • CCMS for Business Objects

    All,
    I am trying to configure to ccms setup for  Business Objects XI 3.1 but could not find right documentation specific to BO.
    We need to monitor Tomcat, some of Bo server and also file systems.
    Have anyone done anything with CCMS on BO ?
    Thanks in Advance for the help !
    Raj

    I don't know about CCMS and BO.
    But if you need to monitor BO, you can use the probes.
    You have to create an automation process yourself.
    I created a console app in .net that runs the probes every 15 minutes and sends me an email everytime there 's an error.
    The probes are really easy to use and install.
    The output files can be used with TIvoli or other monitoring tool.
