KM & BOE XI 3.1 Integration

In trying to setup KM integration between SAP Portal and BOE, I am having trouble getting the correct URL's from the basis team to enter into the repository manager settings.
I need the following:
- Dispatch URL
- OpenDoc URL
- URL to Logoff BOE
- Web Service URL
Each of these properties are pre-configured with a template, and in theory all I am required to do is replace the <web_server_and_port> section.
As I am struggling to get this to work, I am trying to find a way to verify the pieces of information that I am entering. One though is to take the URL that is "generated" and enter that in a browser to see what it loads.
For example, Dispatch URL becomes http://vepdweb.sap.xxx.co.za/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp once I have put in the FQDN according to the basis team. However, when I use that URL in a new window, I get an error:
Error: Server sapbcd1 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
That implies to me there is either something incorrect in the URL (although I am given a login screen), or there is something missing on the BOE config side of things.
Alternately, take the similarly generated URL for Web Service URL, which now becomes http://vepdweb.sap.xxx.co.za/dswsbobje/services/, I now get an Apache Internal Server error.
Any ideas on whether these URL's should work as standalone URL's?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,
you need to get the details from your BOE server admin.

  • BOE 4.0 Portal Integration

    Dear Portal Specialists,
    actually I´m fighting with the Integration of BO IView List Template within Enterprise Portal 7.3 (SP3); BOE Release 4.0 SP2 Patch5...and we are getting the following Error from the Portal LogViewer!
    A short description:
    1. Both of the Systems are Windows Server (2003/2008) and member a an Windows Active Directory
    2. Enterprise Portal and BW are successfully integrated
    3. The technically Integration Steps between BOE and BW / EP were also implemented successfully
    4. We also implemented the BO Template Application as defined in http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=235801058 and created the Page with some Content
    5. In EP System Landscape we created an HTTP specific System as described in  with BO specific Parameters like Host, Protocol and Port
    6. At least we try to access the BO System via Preview from the Page, where we got an Error Information Page saying we need to speak with our Admin-:)
    This is the detailed Error. Any idea?

  • 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.

  • New Features of BOE 4.0 integration kit for SAP

    Dear colleagues,
    I am looking for a presentation that shows the new features of SAP BOE XI 4.0 integration kit for SAP (BW), compared to XI 3.1. I have for example read that regarding WebI it will be possible to connect directly to BEx queries without universe. It is correct ?
    I look to several documents on the market place, but there is no clear document about these new features...
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Thibaud

    no "integration kit" in version 4 - its all nicely embedded into the core product.
    you are correct - webi can direct connect (using BICS) and also can source from an Analysis View (which is an output of either Analysis Services OLAP edition or the Microsoft edition (excel plugin).  you also get a new universe layer (.UNX) which gives you a much better view of your underlying BEx queries/Cubes and allows you to combine with aother data sources.
    lots more info in the product manuals to v4 which are available at...
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/
    (just change the product drop down to "SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform"
    some specific info on SAP BW connectivity is here...

  • SAP BI-BO Integration for "BO XI 3.1 on HP-Unix-PA-RISC-64 bit"+Oracle WAS

    Hi,
    We have set up SAP Integration Kit to integrate SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI
    3.1. Our BO system is set up on Unix HP-UX-PA-RISC 64 BIT and Oracle Web Application Server
    10.1.3.
    When we are creating a WebI report using WebI Rich Client, we are able
    to fetch the data from SAP BI Query and also refresh the data using
    WebI Rich Client (Desktop).
    When we are creating a WebI report from Infoview, we are able to create
    the WebI report,but we get the database error "Unable to Bind to
    NetworkLayer Object"
    (WIS 10901)" when trying to Run the Query i.e.
    fetch the data from SAP BI Query. Same error is also there when we try
    to refresh the data from Infoview for a WebI report created using WebI
    Rich Client (Desktop).
    We raised an OSS Message with SAP. We got a response that :
    ====================================================================
    The reason you're having this problem seems to be because you don't have the SAP dataAccess library (libdbd_sap.so) and its equivalent config files (sap folder).
    Those are the files that manage the connection from BOE queries to SAP.
    You can check that they exist in your Windows client fine(.dll).
    Here's what I have in my HP-UX system:
    $ ls -l sap
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 4671488 Sep 13 2008 libdbd_sap.so
    sap:
    total 80
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 4650 Sep 13 2008 sapen.cod
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 358 Sep 13 2008 sap.prm
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 10670 Sep 13 2008 sap.rss
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 1343 Sep 13 2008 sap.sbo
    These drivers are not installed with the SAP Kit but with the BOE setup
    itself - meaning you can have a system without SAP Kit but with these drivers.
    On the other hand, with SAP Kit, you can have other features such as your working SAP authentication fine but not this one since it comes with BOE.
    ====================================================================
    Request the SDN Community to check the below mentioned :
    Platform : HP-UX-PA-RISC 64 bit
    Oracle WAS (instead of Tomcat).
    1) Which installer was used to install BOE XI 3.1 ?
    2) Is the BOE XI 3.1 base installer available for HP-UX-PA-RISC-64 bit ? I could not find one at SAP Service Market place (the nearest one is for HPP - 32 Bit)
    3) Do you have the relevant SAP Folder & Drivers on this path, as per the above SAP OSS Message.
    4) Any inputs on how to resolve the issue (we have so-far tried with 4 different installers for HP-UX-PA-RISC and not got any success)
    regards,
    Rajesh K Sarin

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    (A) We have attempted with BOE and SAP Integration Kit in the sequence. My earlier communication has all the attachments for the steps followed, and the SAP message.
    (B) We have HP-UX-PA-RISC-64 bit. Request to please point us to the correct installer on this link
    (C) We have done 4 complete trials :
    1) BOE XI 3.0 Installer provided by BO Consultant, 6 months back & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
    BOE XI 3.0 --> Upgrade to BOE XI 3.1 --> BOE FP 1.2 for XI 3.1 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.1 --> Integration Kit FP 1.2 --> Oracle WAS Manual deployment steps
    2) BOE XI 3.0 Installer & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
    BOE XI 3.0 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.0 --> Oracle WAS manual deployment steps
    3) BOE XI 3.1 Installer for HP-UX-PA-RISC-32bit (HPP) & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
    BOE XI 3.1 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.1 --> Oracle WAS manual deployment steps
    4) BOE XI 3.1 Installer provided by SAP OSS Support & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
    BOE XI 3.1 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.1 --> Oracle WAS manual deployment steps
    None of these steps have helped us.
    SAP OSS Support asked us to check availability of the "SAP Folder" and "Lib / driver" files on the Connection Server Directory; which would appear once BOE XI 3.1 installer is installed (ONLY BASE Install, SAP Integration Kit is not needed).
    We have also confirmed this with one another Client / Project. They have HP-UX-Itanium-64 bit and BOE-XI 3.1 only base install (No SAP Integration kit). This particular SAP Folder / Drivers are available without any SAP Integration kit.
    Request to correct me, if I am wrong :
    SAP Integration kit additionally provides the drivers needed for Crystal & SAP Authentication.
    regards,
    Rajesh K Sarin

    Retrieval of default alias successful
    Connection failed. Make sure that Single Sign-On is configured correctly
    Whether i should install the BO Integration kit in EP portal also or any Portal Inetgration kit is available.
    Regards
    Bala

    Hi,
    1. Whether Integration kit for SAP should be installed in EP Server also ( which has been installed in BO server for BI and the SSO for BI and EP STRUSTSSO2 also works fine.
    - the portal is acting as the frontend for viewing content and yes there needs to be trust between your portal and your BW system
    2. the connector parameter and the iview template object parameter as correct as per the distributed enviorment.
    When i checked with portal; admin they asked doubt what should be crystal enterprise server ( BO) and the what is the server should connector parameter should have.
    - the Crystal Enterprise parameter do not influence the connector properties and do not lead to the point that the connector settings fail. the Crystal Enterprise parameters are only relevant when viewing SAP BusinessObjects related content.
    Make sure you connector settings work even without the Crystal Enterprise parameters first.

  • Selecting the Security method for a landscape of SAP BW & BOE & SAP EP

    Hi,
    I am BW Consultant with BOE experience.
    But i could not use the Landscape such as SAP BW as Warehouse Solution, BOBJ(WebI, Crystal, Xcelsius) as reporting tool and SAP EP as frontend Portal to view all reports.
    Now i am in a project where i am using Landscape mentioned above.
    Now the question is in this scenario, what is the best practice for security and SSO implementation.
    We have installed the SAP BW and BOE. Also BOBJ Integration kit. Now After installing the BOBJ Integration kit, as a post installation & Configuration step we need to import SAP Users and Roles in CMC for 'SAP Authenticaion'. But at this moment we have not decided any approach about the security.
    If i mport SAP Users and Roles in to CMC of BOE, is it possible to use AD/LDAP appraoch in the later stage?
    Please suggest me best approach to implement the Security and SSO.
    Thanks in Advance
    Bala.

    Hey Bala,
    Log-in to CMC: (as Admin)
    Go to:
    Authentication
    here you can see : Enterprise, AD, NT , LDAP & SAP.
    Map the Users based on their environment. After doing this, you can see how they are differed.
    One more just to update you.
    When you opt for SAP authentication, in Authentication @ CMC.
    You can see Roles tab, there Check Automatically Import Users and Force User Synchronization.
    Automatically import users - This checkbox allows you to enable the import of SAP users that are assigned to the roles that have been imported for the SAP entitlement system.
    Force User Syncronisation: If you enable this option, each update in the Role import tab will also result in a syncronisation of the assigned SAP users with the corresponding user accounts on you SAP BOE system.
    Check OSS note for scheduling this.

  • How to Load Data in BOE?

    So, I have Crystal Reports and the SAP Integration Kit Client installed on my desktop computer.  Works great, can create and view reports.
    I have BOE and the SAP Integration Kit Server installed on our server.  When I upload my reports to the server, it says:
    Failed to load database information. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{13449665-E61A-4880-AA59-DD2FF87465F3}.rpt: Failed to load database information
    When I try to view the report.
    I am new and I really don't know where to start to troubleshoot this.  Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stephanie

    Dear Stephanie
    Please check in the CMC if the SAP credentials in the Database Configuration (right click on the report) are correct.
    Running the report in CR on the server helps to exclude the possibility that there is a problem with the installation.
    Because the Installation order is
    Core products (BOE and CR) first and then the Integrated SAP Solutions you would need to install CR and then re-run the installation for the Integrated SAP Solutions
    You can log a support ticket if you are unsure and would like assistance

  • SAP Authentication issue in Xcelsius 2008 SP4

    Ingo Can you help me?
    Xcelsius 2008 SP4 Failed to Open/Save from BusinessObjects Enterprise and throws an error Failed While Trying to Logon User "0000" RFC error: "LOGON_DATA_INCOMPLETE" when using SAP Authentication.
    It works perfect with Enterprise.
    Recently we have upgraded from Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP 3.5 to Xcelsius 2008 SP4. It also displays the password without encrypting.
    BOE 3.1 Sp3
    Integration Kit SP3Fix Pack 3.2
    SAP GUI 720
    Xcelsius 2008 SP4
    It was working good with SAP Authentication when using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3.5
    Thanks
    Dais

    Hi,
    As a starting point, i would strongly recommend you standardise all your component versions.
    from what i can see, you've just asserted that Server, Integration Kit, and Client  are all on different Fix levels..
    that's not a nice baseline on which to investigate!  
    Also, patching would also include importing the correct SAP Transports into your BW. (they change almost every FP)

  • Business Objects / BODS Upgrade

    Hi Guys.
    We have an end to end Business Objects solution implemented in our environment consisting of BODS (XIR3), Business Objects (XIR3) and Crystal Reports (2008). We are planning to upgrade the BODS and Business Objects environments to the latest version but would first like just the BODS to be upgrade as the support for the application has now been ceased by SAP. I believe for the same we would require to use IPS as BOE will still be at the old version and in the latest version BOE and BODS have been integrated.
    Please can you suggest any documentation which we can refer for such scenarios and will we be facing any problems once we upgrade BOE in future in integrating it with BODS as that will be dependent on IPS. Any information on the Pros and Cons on using this methodology will be very helpful.
    Please let me know if in case any further details are required. Thanks in anticipation of your help.
    Cheers,
    Shazin

    Hi
    since there is no really an upgrade package from XI R2 to XI 3.x you have to do a new XI 3.x installaiton and copy afterwards your repository contents from the old to the new system. THis means that the old system is always available for your users. The migration process is officially supported and SAP should provide support for any  related issues.
    I would recommend to start on both sides with the most actual Service pack and fix pack version. For XI R2 this should be SP6 with FP 6.1 (note: you should have at least SP4 on XI R2 in order to do the migration) and for XI 3.1 this should be SP 2 with FP 2.6.

  • OpenDocument 404 error

    I have deployed BOE 3.1 and integrated to sharepoint.
    When opening documents from sharepoint, the openDocument function is used, but the call fails.
    Using tomcat administrator I have tried to verify the opendocument deployment and I get the 404 missing page error when using the opendocument link in tomcat administrator.
    I have tried redploying the application with no luck.
    /Thomas

    Hello Again
    Seems as if a few parameters was missing when I tested an external opendocument call. So now it seems to work externally as well. What is left is then the sharepoint integration. Below is the link generated by sharepoint. This again fails with 404.
    http://osi0235/businessobjects/enterprise120/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sKind=Webi&sIDType=CUID&iDocID=ASfzWSg4VbJBlWCJcxXDzmQ&token=osi0235.dongintern.dk:6400@2181JKU476goXtcB43fc2177JwN2FszN4iGX5yxMONEOFF&lang=en
    Is the URL built incorrectly be the sharepoint IK?
    In sharepoint I have used secEnterprise as authentication method with credential prompt set to true.
    And the document list is displayed fine. (Except that the icons are not displayed).
    Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

  • How to schedule webi report using OLAP Universe

    Hi all,
    I am using the webi report which is based on BW query or cube.
    I want to schedule the webi report  which should get refreshed automatically.
    how to set the date parameter for that webi report at universe or report level.
    or shall i should create a variable at bw side i.e., (sysdate -1)  and tht variable should i use in the report or any idea..
    i am using BOE 3.1 SP3
    Integration Kit SP3
    BW 7.1
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ravi Sarma
    Edited by: Ravi Sarma on Dec 6, 2011 6:09 PM

    Hi,
    it won't be at "report-level" . those local variables are formulae used for formatting, not for user inputs / responses.
    Easiest is to use the SAP KEYDATE variable in the BEx query.
    This SAPVAR will come through as a WebI prompt like any other, and has a default value of sysdate (if not answered differently)
    As for the Scheduling mechanism, this is the same as always - done in Infoview / BILaunchPad - select the webi instance, and click Schedule .

  • Creating BO universe on Transparent tables

    Hi,
    Can we create a BO universe on Transparent tables in the BW system?
    Kindly respond if you hvae any inputs

    Hi,
    Assuming your are using BOE XI 3.1, Integration Kit for SAP, and WebIntelligence
    Then, NO,  that MDX BAPI driver is for consumption of BEx Queries only.
    Regards,
    H
    p.s. however, you might have more luck using Crystal Reports "SAP Table, ABAP function, and InfoSet" driver - although that is intended for ERP access (R/3 // ECC)
