Migrating Webi Reports from one to other Server

Hi
i have created a Webi Report in one local Server and i want to export the report to another server which is not a cluster of this local server,(like i want to do report in local and export in Client places)
when i copy the Webi Document (.WID) to the other server, i am not able to view the report,
I am getting an errro message
(The document has been locked by the user 'Administrator' on the following cluster : '@servername:portnumber'. You cannot open this document on the current cluster. To open the document, log on the correct cluster as the correct user and save the document unsecured. If the cluster is not reachable, try to connect to the following system :@servername:portnumber ''. If this system is not reachable or not online, try the previous offline session with the connection ''. (WIS 30912)
is there any other way to implement this ?

Couple of qns:
>> Are you accessing BO server machine to dev WebI??
>> Developed WebI reports are you exporting to Server(as you are Client)??
If both are different servers: You have to Use IMPORt WIZARD.
Source is your CMS server &
Destination : User's CMS Server
In next screens select the relavant reports.

Migrating a webi report from one environment to another using import wizard

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please tell me what all access should I have on my ID to be able to migrate a webi report from one environment to another environment(e.g. from development to quality).
Regards,
Neeraj Sharma

Hi,
To use the Import Wizard utility, you basically need Administrator, Full Control to Top-level folder, and "Add objects to the folder" and "Edit objects" for this user on the root folder.
You need the least restrictive role, because you require absolute control for content promotion between 2 entitlement systems.
the webi document is the cherry on-top, you;ll have universes, connections, folders to bring over too.
Regards,
H
p.s. check Note 1450708 - How to restrict access to the Import Wizard from a Business Objects Enterprise system

Copy reports from one business objects server to another

How do I copy all the reports published in my production BO server to my test server. I did this once but can not remember. Is it the import wizzard?

yes you can use the import wizard to export your reports from one server to another server
just open the import wizard, connect to your source server, choose object types you want to export (folders, reports, users,,,,etc),,, then choose the objects itself, then connect to the destination server, and the import wizard will guide you through this process.
good luck

Print Layourt Designer how to migrate a report from one SBO to another

I have written a report on my Test version of SBO and need to migrate it to the customers site but cant see a method of exporting/Importing a User Report
(I am probably missing something obvious though.....) but would appreciate a prod in the right direction. thanks

Hi George,
There is two ways, you can either copy it over......but sometimes all the alignment goes off.
Or you can use the query SAP have given in a note. I do not remember the note number. But here is an extract of the note. I use this query often and have kept this extract one side. It only copies the layouts that do not exist in the destination company. Here is the extract.
An SQL query can be used to copy documents from one database to another, however the following conditions must be met:
1. Only edited documents with a doccode (the template primery key), which does not exist in the destination database, will be copied.
2. It is necessary to backup source and destination databases before running the query!!!
3. Both databases must share the same localization and the same version!!!
4. Select "Start" -> "Programs" -> "Microsoft SQL Server" -> "Query Analyzer" and run the following query:
Replace SOURCE with the source database name.
Replace DEST with the destination database name.
insert into [DEST].[dbo].[RDOC]
select [SOURCE].[dbo].[RDOC].*
from
[SOURCE].[dbo].[RDOC],[DEST].[dbo].[cinf],[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf]
where [DEST].[dbo].[cinf].[lawsset]=[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf].[lawsset]and [DEST].[dbo].[cinf].[version]=[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf].[version] and [SOURCE].[dbo].[RDOC].[Doccode]NOT IN (SELECT Doccode from [DEST].[dbo].[RDOC])
insert into [DEST].[dbo].[RITM]
select [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM].*
from [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM],[DEST].[dbo].[cinf],[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf] where [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM].[Doccode] NOT IN (select Doccode from [DEST].[dbo].[RITM])AND [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM].[Doccode]IN (SELECT Doccode from [DEST].[dbo].[RDOC])
The query is also attached to this note!
Hope this helps.

Copy or migrate web catalog from one environment to another

Reading docs and some posts, I understand that I should or can use the Catalog > Archive option in answers.
Our main objective is to migrate the privileges defined thru Administration >> Manage Privileges... We've tried a simple directory system copy (linux to linux) but it doesn't seem to be working.
Question is... while doing the Archive should I just select the shared folders and archive it ? or for copying the privileges I have to use the catalog manager ?
Txs. for any help.
Lombo

So I'd like to archive the whole catalog... pls. how to do it ? Maybe doing it in 3 parts: my, system, shared ?Is there any difference in zipping whole catalog folder and move to where ever you want and with archiving each folder?
I would suggest to move entire catalog folder when you want to archive root folder,for any specific changes (in Shared) do it Online mode when you want to keep same permissions.
Hope this helps, you may send me email if you have any other clarification.

Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi Experts,
Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Linda

Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
   a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
   b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
2) From Development server, to Training server.
   Same object names will be used in Training server.
   E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
3) From Development server, to Production server
   Same object names used in Production server.
From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Linda

Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

What is the best approach to migrate SharePoint farm from one data center to other datacenter

We have two web front server and one application server and two instances for database server and we have to migrate complete farm from one data center to other data center with minimal downtime and end user impact.
Please provide your best input on this.
Thanks in advance.

Create a new farm in the secondary Data Center at the same patch level with the desired configuration. Replicate the databases using the method of choice (Mirroring, AlwaysOn, etc.). Create a downtime window where you can then attach the databases to the
new farm's Web Application(s)/Service Application(s).

Migrate Webi Report / Universe from Dev to production

Hello,
there are lot of possibilities to migrate a Webi report or a universe from Development server to Production server. my question for the experts is what is best practice scenario to do that. What should i take in consideration.
if i rename my Production universe, place it in an other Path and base my migration on the option "compare name and Path" of the universes. would it migrate ? What about the Connection ?
My Target when migrating Universes. Is only to migrate the universe without connections
But when migrating Webi Reports is to migrate only the reports without universes or connections. But at the same time be sure that the Report is adressed to the right universe in the Destination System.
Is that realistic .. Thanx ..

Prerequest:
You should have Remote access to both the server the BO is installed
Approach1:
Login to source server
create a folder with the name temp.biar in the desktop of server 1
Go to import wizard of server 1
select server 1 as source and temp.biar file as a destination and import all that required to biar file
from server 1 connect to server 2 and place this biar file in some shared folder
connect to server2
open the shared folder and copy that biar file and place it in the desktop of server2
Go to import wizard of server 2
select the temp.biar file from desktop of server 2 and destination as server 2
and complete the process
Note: as we are doing this in remote, there will be lot of issues while connection to path which sometimes even the erro r message will mislead us....
Approach2:
dont create any biar file
Login to server 2
Go to import wizard
select server 1 as source and server 2 as destination and move directly from server to server
Approach2 is not preffered if server 2 is production serve....
this may help
Thanks,

Scheduling web intelligence reports from SAP EP Portal : Server Side Trust

Hello,
We have set-up SSO between SAP EP 701, SAP BI 701 and Business Object XI 3.1 to allow users to access reports without having to sign-on again as explained here :
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/09/19/businessobjects-and-sap--configure-sap-authentication
But, we have recently been contacted by some users because when scheduling Webi Report from a link within the portal they have the following errors :
u201CA database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901) u201D
The user told us that he doesn't encounter the error when :
Login in directly to the BO Infoview (without SSO from the SAP Enterprise Portal.)
The first Webi scheduling is succesful from the portal (I suppose because the portal token is still valid)
I understand that we also have to configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend as explained here , but I do not really understand its purpose
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646962008E/XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf
I've found a similar discussions here ;
Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports
I still have some questions :
If we configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend .
The Portal Logon ticket will remain an issue at some point of time , does it mean tha the WeBi report job sheduling should not be perfromed from the SAP EP Portal ?
We haven't configured the Server Side Trust , yet the users told us that they are able to schedule webi report directly from the BO Infoview ? How is it posible ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.

Thank you Mr Hilgefort for your detailled explanations.
I now have to provide some explanations to my managers, and to be honest , there are still some points that
are unclear to me, and it would be extremely helpful if could confirm (or not) the follwoing points.
When scheduing Webi report from the sap portal, we're getting SSO errors.
SAP provide the follwoing note explaining how to extend the validity of the J2EE token (Portal token), but this is not a long term solution, at certain point of time the ticket will expire. Webi shceduling should not be perfromed from the Portal.
Sap note 1352127 - Scheduled Webi report fails with: A database error occurred. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket
Webi Scheduling should be performed from BO Infoview. SNC should be configured between BO server and SAP BI7.0 backend.
We should Configure Server SNC as explained in the BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide at Chapter "Configuring SAP for server-side trust". (1341043)
The SAP Portal is not involved here and is not an option even with the configuration of SNC/Server side trust.
thank you for your patience.
Best Regards.

Best Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
Thanks,

You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

Process to migrate configuration data from one BW development system to other

Hi SAP Gurus,
We need to migrate configuration data from one BW system DE1 to DE2.. Both systems are SAP net weaver 7.3.
DE1 is BW pre-production system and DE2 is BW DEV.
No transactional data required.
Please share a document if available.
Kindly, let me know the procedure for Remote Client copy or client export/import with steps.
Also let me know the pre-requisite for these activities.
Thanks,

Hi,
Remote Client Copy (SCC9)
Remote client copy is performed in rare situation. When the client copy is done
between two different SAP systems, the copy is called remote client copy.
Before remote client copy is performed, a RFC connection must be set between those
systems using SM59.
1. Check RFC connection is working fine between two systems you want to perform
remote client copy using SM59
2. create client in the target system you want to copy the client
3. login to target client using user SAP* and password PASS
4. execute tcode SCC9 and select the RFC for the source system
5. select the profile you want to copy like SAP_ALL
6. select source client number you want to copy
7. Select source client master data , mostly it is the same client number
8. Now click on schedule as background job.
9. Leave the background server field blank.
10. Click schedule.
11. Select Immediate from next screen.
12. Save the screen.
13. Client copy is scheduled now as a background job and client copy process started.
14. The progress can be monitored using tcode SCC3
Client Export/Import
A client transport consists of two steps:
First a client export extracts client data from the source client
to files at the operating system level. Then the data is imported
from the operating system files into the target client.
To perform a client export, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the source client. From the SAP initial screen,
choose transaction SCC8 (Client Export). Select the data to
be copied using a profile.
2. Indicate the target system to which the client will be copied.
The target system must be defined in TMS as part of the
transport domain.
3. Begin the client export. Because copying is a lengthy
process, use scheduled background processing.
Do not run any other client copy tool before the
data export is finished.
This export process will generate up to three data files at the
operating system level:
• RO< number >: this file contains cross-client data
• RT< number >: this file contains client-specific data
• RX< number >: this file contains SAPscript texts
Depending on the type of data selected through the client
transport profile, the client copy command files added to the
buffer of the target system are as follows:
• <S-SID>KO<number>: this file is for cross-client data
• <S-SID>KT<number>: this file is for client-specific data
• <S-SID>KX<number>: this file is SAPscript texts
The client export change requests are not imported when an
Import all takes place. Therefore, you must import these requests into the target client
using TMS. Choose one of the transport requests of the client transport in the Transport
Management System (TMS). The other transport requests belonging to this client
transport are then automatically added in the correct order.
After the import process has completed, post-import activities are required for object
generation steps. After completing the import, log on to the target client. From the SAP
systems initial screen, choose transaction SCC7

Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
i do not recall having any problems with it.

Transfer executable report from one server to another

hi all,
How to transfer executable report from one server to another?
please reply fast
its urgent
thnx in advance

Kush,
To transfer a object from one server to another server it should be assigned to a package ie Dev Class so that a transport request can be created.Once the request is created we will release it using SE09 and then ask the basis consultant to move the request from Dev to Quality and then Dev to Production.
$TMP objects are called as local objects and can't be transported.
