Lifecycle Manager SP2

In my Business Objects XI 3.1 SP 2.2 environment I installed Lifecycle Manager SP1, followed by upgrading it to SP2. After installing SP2 the Administrative options menu disappears from teh web interface, it will not allow me to create new jobs and the dropdown that takes you to version control, doesn't have that option.
From the CMC in my folder structure there is a folder called LCM and another called LCM_old, the LCM_old seems to be the one LCM is using.
In the LCM.log file every time I log in I find this error message.
[ERROR] [com.businessobjects.lcm.utilities.LCMLogger] Error in getting Audit Handler. Please refer to the stack trace.
Can anyone help me, is there any more information you need?
Thanks,
Bader

Thanks,

How can i installed additional language for LCM XI 3.1?

Please, help me.

JC:
It would be good to know information on distributed deployments;
such as how to handle upgrades on machines that are distributed/firewalled off..and HA machines..etc..
More information needed on Unix deployment, I always find the guides are weak when it comes to unix information.
Also: There needs to a way to communicate clearly; the upgrade scenarios.
The table of that information was good in the past.
Example: IF you are on SP1...then do this
if you are on SP2 then do this
if you are on SP1 with any FP do this..etc...
As many installation scenario that can be covered in a TABLE should be presented...that way you get customer types.
ALSO; Information about deployments with SAP customers (BW or ECC)..duh..that is obvious, the SP3 materials should have tons on that, but it's lacking.
Personally I think there should be a separate SAP IK SP3 upgrade GUIDE!!! why not.....BOBJ and SAP are one right...why not provide MORE info for your customers that are hybrid (SAP + BOBJ)...

BW Publisher + Lifecycle Manager + Import Wizard Repository Objects

Hi,
I would like to ask advice about moving reports from a for example a QA to Production enviornment.
BW 3.5, BOXI 3.1 (SP1 currently / possibly SP2 )
I have reports which have been published using BW Publisher which have Parameters populated by BW.
I have other reports which have parameters which are populated by Business Views.
I have reports which are a combination of BW Queries and a Universe built upon a SQL server 2008 Database.
I have tried publishing the Report using the (NON SAP) Universe via BW Publisher and I get an error.
Also I realise that the BW publisher will not move the Business Views Repository Objects and NON SAP Universe to the Production Enviornment.
What is your suggestion regarding moving these reports?
I can only think that some reports will be moved using BW Publisher and others using the LIfeCycle Manager.
Am I correct in assuming that LCM will not move BW Published reports to the new Business Objects Installation correctly (because they will point to the BW Server which originally published them. Can the Schedule Manager perhaps not take care of this for me?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nicole

Thank you all for your replies
I have other reports which have parameters which are populated by Business Views.
<h5> I had issues moving these with LCM and even the Import wizard which I eventually only resloved by Moving the Business Views and LOVs using Business View Manager Import and Export wizard - I still had to map LOV to the objects within the existing business views but got them working!
The reports (even the ones using business views) ran correctly (except for Parameters - see below) after transporting using the BW Publisher and Content Administration Workbench</h5>
I have reports which are a combination of BW Queries and a Universe built upon a SQL server 2008 Database.
<h5> Have not tested yet but managed to transport using SAP Transport </h5>
I have reports which have been published using BW Publisher which have Parameters populated by BW.
<h5>Ironically here is where I have an issue
I am having an issue with Report Parameters:
Dev Server: BW publisher / Infoview populates Parameters LOV at run time.
QA Server: only static parameters are shown.
Both servers should have identical software BOE 3.1 and SAP Integration Kit 3.1
Both Servers have BW Publisher configured and I am publishing from the Content Administrator Workbench.
The only difference I can think of in Terms of the servers is that Reports were published to DEV using SAP Menu in Crystal Reports and on QA I transported the Reports from DEV and THEN published them in QA.
Authorizations are also different u2013 in DEV I have Sap_All and in Dev I have a role.</h5>
I was also having issues getting "My Groups" to appear in Infoview but this is resloved and I believe was due to authorisations and roles - not having the correct one.
I am installing SP2 on a 3rd server to test if the issue would be resolved.
Tell me does BW require a different transport to communicate with a BOE server installed with SP2?
Kind Regards,
Nicole

What/Where is the Value Lifecycle Manager (VLM)

What/Where is the Value Lifecycle Manager (VLM)
I was just reviewing an ASUG presentation from Soledad Alvarado Ganzhorn of SAP NetWeaver Product Management at SAP Labs. It describes a value lifecycle manager tool that includes:
&#56256;&#56457;Value Discovery content includes: Interview Questions, Pain Points, Best Practices, Solution Enablers, Value Drivers & KPI's, and Data Requests
&#56256;&#56457; A Knowledge Management Platform Retrieve and Enter content
&#56256;&#56457; A Highly Flexible and Customizable Business Case Building and Reporting Platform
&#56256;&#56457; Used by Value Engineers, Solution Engineers, ISG, Partners and others
Is anyone aware if SAP is using this tool already? Will customers get access to it? This sounds like a replacement for the business case builder which I haven't seen either. It would be nice if customers had access to these sorts of discovery tools. Since we don't utilize SAP consulting, we are often not able to access this content as we initiate new initiatives. It would be nice to have access as it seems like we are internally selling their software for them.

The tool is available. It is at the following URL:
https://sapvalueengineering.com/VLM2/client.page
SAP has nominated select Partners that have access to the tool. You can probably check with the SAP partner relationship manager in your organization to see if you have access to this tool.

LifeCycle Manager: The kind 'Note' does not exist in the CMS

Hi there,
I'm trying to promote a Crystal Report from one relatively fresh XI 3.1 environment to another fresh XI 3.1 environment (TEST to PROD) using LifeCycle Manager, and for this report, which has no dependencies, I get the following error when I do a Test Promote or actual Promote:
Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed, Promotion Status=Failure : com.businessobjects.lcm.utilities.LCMException: com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.exception.XSDException$UnknownKindException: The kind 'Note' does not exist in the CMS. (FWM 04030)
Has anyone encountered anything similar to this? I can't find any InfoObject that logically relates to the type/kind 'Note'. Perhaps it has to do with discussions?
Thanks,
Allan

Hi,
Can you try promoting it with the security option enabled.
Based on the error condition it seems that the discussion plugin does not exist in the destination system.

SSL Certificate for Software LifeCycle Management

Dear Friends,
We have Solution Manger 70 with EhancementPack 1 (Java 7.01 SP4). Trying to configure the Software LifeCycle Management and I am stuck at the first stage i.e. generating SSL SSL Certificate.
Here is what I have done and please let me know on how to proceed...
- Installed SAP Cryptographic libraries, all the necessary Profile parameters and activated HTTPS...
- STRUSTSSO2 --> Created SSL Server PSE
- Generated the Certificate Requests for the SSL Server PSE
- Copied the Certificate Request.
- Opened the https://service.sap.com/tcs site
- Requested for SSL Test Server Certificate by pasting the Copied the Certificate Request and generated the certificate response in a "PKCS # 7 Certificate Chain" format.
- Copied the Generated Imported Certficate from SAP Trust center Site, and Imported the Certificate response for SSL Server using STRUSTSSO2.
What else I am missing here?????????
How to generate the Import Certifcate in a crt file format for SSL client (Anonymous or Standard) PSE's?????????
Kindly help me with these issue ASAP.
Thank you,
Nikee

Users are prompted to accept the certificate from the WLC because the clients do not have a trusted root certificate for the certificate that is installed on the WLC. The SSL certificate on the WLC is not in the list of certificates that the client system trusts. There are two ways to stop the generation of this web-browser security alert popup window:
a) Use the self-signed SSL certificate on the WLC and configure the client stations to accept the certificate
b) Generate a CSR and install a certificate that is signed by a source (a third-party CA) for which the clients already have the trusted root certificates installed. For more information on this read http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00806e367a.shtml

Certificate lifecycle management

Hi,
I am using Root and SubCA on 2012 server. I would like to have certificates monitored and do cert lifecycle management. I do see we have various vendors like venafi but would want to know if we can use any cost effective solution to achieve same without
using any 3rd party vendor.
Thanks

In the box you are limited to things like scripts or Powershell tools you may write. But more recently, Certificate Lifecycle Notifications became available. Honestly it leverages existing tools and technology and isnt a new product per-se, but provides
guidance on how to do some notifications. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14250.certificate-services-lifecycle-notifications.aspx

HP Application LifeCycle Management - URL for use with another Project Management Tool

I'm trying to find a way to get a ALM Requirement URL that will work with other applications. The URL from the COPY URL option (when right-clicking on the requirement) works for e-mails but I can't seem to get it to work for another project management application (Daptiv). We would like to insert the QC Requirement link to another application where the user can access the requirements directly when clicking on the QC hyperlink.
We have HP Application Lifecycle Management Software Version 11.00 Enterprise Edition.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

As Abhishek mentioned we dont need a calc manger or EPMA to migrate classic planning applications. You just need to log into shared services, expand file system and take a file system export, paste the export to the destination environment, now use it as a source and perform an import in the shared services of destination server. It worth having a look at:

Hi
I am currently testing the BO LCM 3.1 and while it appears very easy to use especially for promotion, the Version Control Manager seems to be lacking in controls and a clear promotion path from dev to test to uat to prod.
We have set up 2 identical environments for UAT and PROD.
And using the Version Control part of LCM creating version control for a universe.
Logged into VM in UAT
We have selected a universe
Added it to VM
Made a change to the universe in Designer
Exported it
Then Checked it in
Can now see 2 versions in the history and the VMS Version. All good
I then click on swap system and log into PROD
The VM history is also there in PROD
I have a number of concerns and questions and can't seem to find the solution to them anywhere.
1. VM seems to be lacking a controlled process from all the environments. Basically we want to deploy following this path;
Dev - Test - UAT - PROD
There does not seem to be any controls or security which would stop you from GET VERSION from the DEV environment and putting that straight into PROD. Obviously we would not want that to happen.
We would only want to GET VERSION from UAT
Similarly for UAT We would only want to GET VERSION from TEST
And for TEST We would only want to GET VERSION from DEV.
Granted, we currently only have 2 identical environments.
But Is there controls that would stop you when in PROD from getting versions from any other system other than UAT?
Also is there any reason why no promotion is required when using VM.
This seems to negate the Promotion Function of the LCM
Any advise would be greatly appreciated with this.
Many thanks
Eilish
