Metadata Integrator
I have problems to get the Metadata Integrator work properly. When I'm doing a lineage analysis from a report in the Management Console I got the error message "Unable to retrieve columns from Data Services".
Data Services 3.1 is running on a Win 2003 server and BOE XIR2 SP2 on another Win 2003 server. I have installed the Metadata Integrator component on the BOE server and it's executing without any problems.
Anyoney who have seen the error message before?
you will get this message if there is some problem with getting the details of column from Dataservices Repositroy for the filed/column used in the Report
is the column mapping calculated successfully for the repository ?
is it happening for lineage of one report or for all the reports ?
if you know the table and datastore from which the columns are coming for this report, try checking the lineage for that table from the Datastore, or other report where this column could be used

BOE XI 3.1 - Metadata Integrator - DataServices 12.0 - Impact/Lineage
I am having issues with getting impact and lineage to work. I have the following installed:
- BOE XI 3.1
- DataServices 12.0
- Metadata Integrator as part of the same DataServices installation
Everything is installed and working well...independently. Once I found the new way to secure program object execution, I was able to get the Metadata Integrator program under the \DataServices directory in the CMC to execute successfully. I then go into the Data Services Management Console and expect to see Impact/Lineage. However, there is nothing there to choose.
I have DI Designer set to save column mappings when saving the dataflow, and I have run that program mentioned above. When I go into the Settings hyperlink of the Impact/Lineage section of the console, there is not a Repository in the dropdown list for Settings. There also isn't a Job Server in the dropdownlist for "Refresh Usage Data" even though I have a working/running DI Job Server. FYI, I am running IE7.
Finally, I went ahead and tried to create a Business Objects Connection. I get the error message:
Business Objects repository tables do not exist in this database.
That seems to be a big red flag since I am accessing BOBJ tables in that exact database to have the CMC/Infoview work successfully.
Am I dealing with a version problem between products, or am I still missing a fundamental step to get this to work correctly? Are there issues with IE7? The Administration portion of the Data Services Management Console seems to work just fine. FYI, I was able to create a CMS connection there, also.
Thanks for the help,
Brianyou don't see the lineage for BO since its not collected the cmsCollector is failing
you don't have to upgrade all DS component, you can use the DS 12.1.1.0 Metadata Integrator component only, this is an Independent component and is dependent more on BOE than DS
is all DS component Installed on same machine ? in that case you will have to install the Metadata Integrator Component on different machine and copy the %LINK_DIR%/ext/cmsCollector folder to your current installation (rename the current cmsCollector folder to cmsCollector120) and run the following script to setup the env and path for Metadata Integrator
if this doesn't work remove this folder and restore the old cmsCollector folder back, everything should be same as earlier
do this if you are comfortable with doing manual setups
put the following in a cmd file named setupMI.cmd, in the %LINK_DIR%/ext/cmsCollector folder
and run the cmd file from th ecommand line, only thing that you will have to set if different in the script is BOE_SDK path
set local
set BOE_SDK=C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib

Issue in configure Information Steward 4.1 Metadata integrator with BO 4.1
Hi Experts,
Environment
Machine 1 :BO 4.1
Machine 2: IPS 4.1,DS 4.2,IS 4.2
We need to get the BO 4.1 metadata into information steward .As per IS install guide "If machine 1 has BI platform 4.1 SP1 and machine 2 has Information Steward installed on IPS 4.1, then you do not need to install the Remote Job Service utility. IPS 4.1 SP1 can collect metadata directly from a BI platform 4.1 system because the BI SDK is compatible between IPS 4.1 SP1 and BI platform 4.1 SP1.3"
what else we need to configure ?
Do we need to install 4.1 client in IS installed machine?
I'm getting below error when trying to add integrator
CMS Server name : BO 4.1 cms name , user name&PWD : BO 4.1 user and pwd
Infoview Integration user:BO 4.1 user&Pwd
Thanks in advance for help.Hi Satish,
You must install the BI Client tools in IPS server (make sure that BI Platform in Machine 1 and BI Client Tools in Machine 2 must be of same version including support pack). Then before creating metadata integrator connection in IPS, try to connect BI server in Machine 1 from Client tools in Machine 2. For this you can use, UDT / IDT / WebI Rich Cleint to test whether Machine 2 is able to connect Machine 1 or not. If you failed at this level, then there problem with Firewall or port issue. We have to fix this before moving ahead.
If above test is passed, then go to IPS - CMC, check whether ISJobServer service is available, enabled and running. Disable this service and check what services are included under this. Check all the services related to IS is included or not. If not include all services, enable and restart the server.
Then you create the BOE Integrator source connection.
Thanks,

Export Metadata for Deski Report failed with Metadata Integrator
Hi everybody,
We installed 2 weeks ago BusinessObject Data Integrator 3.0. As we also have BusinessObject XI 3.0, we have installed the component Metadata Integrator on our BOXI 3.0 server. We configured it successfully and the Metadata Integrator program was added to our BOXI repository.
Then, we executed the Metadata Integrator program from the CMC console. The job run successfully but when we looked at the log file we realized that the program was not able to create the metadata for the BO Deski reports in our BODI repository whereas it was able to do it for our BO Universes. Then when we access the Impact and Lineage Analysis tool from the BODI management console, we can only see the metadata for our BO Universes but not for our Deski reports !!

Any ideas ?!Helo,
The "Member/Alias" problem is solved by using the command "REPALIASMBR" and the "parent/child" is solved in two steps:
1 - Use the command "INDENTGEN" to indent on your flat file
2 - Run an custom script (in my case PERL) on your file to transform that "indent" into parent child (the member indented is the parent of the previous ones)
Another solution is to use "OlapUnderground Outline Extractor" that do all that work for you.

hope that helps.

Installing Metadata Integrator alone??
Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to install Metadata Integrator in a Windows machine alone if my Data Services XI 3.2 and Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 are install in other server on Unix Platform. My question is because Metadata Integrator can´t be install on Unix Platform and I need to make some Lineage and Impact analysis between these systems. If not, the only workaround that I have is to install Business Objects Metadata Management (this product can be install on Unix)in the same server to do this analysis???Pagemakers wrote:

This is the point I don't understand. How do you know you
have no
interest in them if you have never tried them? If Dreamweaver
had
integrated the ability to preview sites on mobile devices as
a core part
of the program, I imagine that many people would have said
"how cool".
Because Device Central is shared with Photoshop, Illustrator,
and Flash,
the reaction is "not interested".

There's no argument that the installer should let you pick
and choose.

I have no idea what Adobe's plans are, but I would be very
surprised if
the policy is changed before the release of the next version.
As for
there being little difference between DW8 and CS3, I don't
agree. The
improvements in CSS rendering and CSS management are far from
insignificant. If you use client-side validation, the Spry
validation
widgets are stunning.

Metadata integrator-configuration problem
hi..
i'm just exploring the meta data integrator. when i configure the cms with my login and the DI repo with the local repository. it says success. but when i run the job it says the following error..
[CrystalCrawlerMain]configuration <config_new> not valid
CMS Integrator failed: configuration <config_new> not valid
when i test it. it is successfull and the job is also successful.
help me in this pls
vigiSergey, many thanks for your help. I am still having some problems however.
For Data Services (BO XI3), I had to change the cmdConfig.cmd file and
set CE_JARS_DIR=E:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4\java\lib. I also had to copy the load.jar to this directory.
I was then able to successfully run the setup which created the folder in the CMC.
When I run the metadata integrator program in the CMC, it runs through successfully. However when i look at the impact and lineage in the DI Mgmt console, I am not seeing any information on objects in my BO repository.
Not sure if I'm missing a step..any help would be appreciated
thanks -
Metadata Integrator not displayin cms details
Hi,
I can successfully access Impact And Lineage from the DI Management Console, but all I can see on the left hand side pane are the repository and the datastores. CMS information is not being displayed.
Nothing at all is displayed in the right hand side pane when clicking/hovering over any of the present objects in the left hand side pane.
Installed are:
DI 11.7
BOE 11.5
CMS and DI are installed on the same server and I can successfully configure Metadata Integrator by running the tool which creates the appropriate folder in the CMC. The collector runs successfully as well.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
RegineMetadata Integrator can't run on BOE CMS, Program JobServer running on Unix/Linux
you will have to configure the BOE CMS and Program Job Server on windows on the same machine where DI Metadata Integrator is installed
The cmsCollector application is dependent on DeskI and Universe COM Interface which is not available on UNIX, hence the limitation
its not documented in 11.7, if you have access to following link, then you can check for steps in Data Services Documentation

DI Metadata Integrator install on non-CMS system

BOE Metadata Integrator not collecting metadata from specified folder
Dear All,
I’m trying to schedule BOE metadata integrator job to collect metadata from BI4.0 SP4 server.
In the parameters I have specified the sub folder name called Audit Reports. The job completed in 5 minutes but did not collect any metadata from this folder.
There are 10 webi reports in this folder from two different universes.
This is the folder hierarchy on BI platform.
_HRM Audit/Audit 2013/Audit Reports
Software Version
IS 4.0 SP4 and IPS 4.0 SP3 on Windows 2008 server.
Is this a bug or I have to specify the public folder name differently?
Can someone please advise?
Many thanks,Hi BODS,
Take a look at the log that has been created for the integrator run. It should give you an idea of whats going on. Look for [W] and [E] in the logs. Maybe you could post them here or attach the log.
Thanks,
