Migration from BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x to SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1

hi,
I am in a migration from 6.5 to XI 3.1. I have a question about it, when you do the migration with import wizard, first you have to have installed XI 3.1.
I was thinking that you could export the .BIAR file with Import Wizard connected to 6.5 and the next step could be import to XI 3.1.
I tell you that because I tried the migration. In the source I put the BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x and in the destination environment the wizard asked me only for a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1.
Regards,
Paulina Villacis

Hi
You can migrate from live 6.x system to live 3.1 system.
For more details refer "Importing Information From BusinessObjects 5.x or 6.x" section(pa ge number 26) in http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_importwiz_en.pdf.

Migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011

Hi all,
We are currently using Crystal Enterprise 10 to schedule and view our reports and the designer is Crystal Reports 10 .
we are planning to migrate to SAP Crystal Server 2011 with Crystal Reports 2011 as the designer.Can we do this migration directly or do we need to do the migration to an intermediate version before going to SAP Crystal Server 2011.
Regards,
Sreekanth S S

1. So in this case, I need to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 or more using import wizard Then I will need to migrate from Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using Upgrade Manager tool. Is my inference correct?
That is correct. For XI R2, it would be XI R2 SP2 minimum. And you need to have a live installation of XI R2 SP2 as SAP does not have it in archieve download area.
2.What is the potential risk if we try to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using upgrade manager tool?
I am not sure if that will work with success, If the reports migrated from CE10 do not work in CRS2011, it would be unsupported. You can however try it anyways.
3.Can we open the reports developed using Crystal Reports 10 designer in Crystal Reports 2011 designer? .This is for another requirement of us where we have to just migrate the reports alone .
Yes you can do that. Try opening and running them in CR2011, they should work but some of them can also result in some errors here and their, this is more specific to report design and what kind of grouping\ filtering\formulas you use.

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

Help on Migration from Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 to HFM 11.1

Hello All,
We are planning to upgrade our system from Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 to HFM 11.1 and would be very grateful if you can help us in answering the below questions as I am novice in Hyperion.
Current Environment:
We have one Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 server and Hyperion 6.5 client is installed on two Citrix servers. We use Citrix servers to publish Hyperion client which users can use to access the Hyperion application. I have been planning the Citrix upgrade for Citrix servers and due Hyperion 6.5 incompatibility with Win2008 R2, we are also planning to do Hyperion upgrade to either 6.5.1 or to HFM.
Having no knowledge on HFM, I found out that HFM is web-based application and users can access HFM application through browser unlike Hyperion 6.5 which is accessed by Hyperion client.
I have following question if you can help me, please:
1. Do we need any client to access HFM or all the feature are web based?
2. If it is web-based, do we need any web-server or IIS can be used to provide access to HFM application to users?
3. How many servers (application, web-server, database server etc) would be suffice for 270 users, any estimate?
My questions might be very dumb for this forum but, I would really appreciate and thank any kind of help provided.
Thanks,
Rajneesh

You should not proceed without expertise in HFM. The installation and configuration requires a much greater technical knowledge and support than Hyperion Enterprise does. Also, you should not perform a straight migration of Hyperion Enterprise to HFM since you have to consider the differences in dimensionality. I recommend you engage someone who has already done such a migration and has good experience with HFM.

JCA Issue with migration from EP 6.0 SP2 to SAP NW2004s (EP 7.00 SP7)

We are currently using JCA on EP 6.0 SP2 platform to connect to SAP R/3 backend system for custom java iviews as shown below ...
Context ctx = null;
IConnectionFactory connectionFactory = null;
IConnection client = null;
IConnection aConnection = null;
try
     //Obtain the initial JNDI context
     ctx = new InitialContext();
     //Perform JNDI lookup to obtain connection factory
     connectionFactory = (IConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("EISConnections/SAPFactory");
     connectionFactory.setConnectionTimeOut( 900 );
     IConnectionSpec spec = connectionFactory.getConnectionSpec();
     // FOR MiniP
     ((Map) spec).put("client", "100");
     ((Map) spec).put("UserName", "USER_ID");
     ((Map) spec).put("Password", "password");
     ((Map) spec).put("logonmethod", "UIDPW");
     ((Map) spec).put("Language", "EN");
     ((Map) spec).put("ashost", "10.14.17.44");
     ((Map) spec).put("sysnr", "02");
     aConnection = connectionFactory.getConnectionEx(spec);
catch (Throwable th)
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     th.printStackTrace( new PrintWriter( sw ) );
     log("Caught an exception (Throwable) : \n" + sw.toString() );
When we migrated the code, the connection to SAP R/3 system is failing. Searching servicemarketplace for some solution, we found a note 820857 and made the necessary code change for JNDI lookup from "EISConnections/SAPFactory" to "deployedAdapters/SAPFactory/shareable/SAPFactory" but we are still getting the following connection failure errors ...

Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 8 to Crystal Reports Server 2008

Hi,
In our current CE8 setup, we have a web server with the web connector, which connects to the Web Component Server (WCS) running in the CE8 application server. Our reports (rpt) are 'unmanaged' and they simply reside in a directory on the application server, together with csp pages (for handling parameter passing, configuring ActiveX viewer settings, etc). The link-to-folder path mapping is specified in the web connector settings. Users view the reports by pointing the browser to the csp pages.
Given the scenario, we would like to migrate to the new CRS2008 platform, while maintaining similar setup as above. However, it is noted the web connector/WCS are no longer there in the new version. My questions are:
Can Viewer/RAS SDK be the replacement for achieving the setup?
What is the mechanism for web and application server communication?
Any enlightenment on the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Migration from development to production environment for SAP Netweaver BI

All,
When I created a SAP Netweaver BI connection using BeX query in BW development environment, the system is defaulted to the BW development environment. Since the system textbox can't be modified to use a variable to point to production environment, can you share how you migrate your SWF file to production environment and ensure that it points to the BeX production query?
Thanks for sharing ....

After some more searching, I found this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f005a4ca-d4fd-2c10-adb8-8ec24383cb97

Migrate from ISA 2006 SP1 Enterprise Edition to TMG

Hi,
I want to migrate the ISA 2006 SP1 Enterprise Edition to TMG but some of the posts are saying that it is not supported you can not do that? Is there some one who can help me regarding this that is it possible to migrate. I saw technet which only mensions
the standard edition support and there is nothing about ISA 2006 enterprise edition even in isaserver.org i read that migration from ISA Enterprise edition is not supported. My ISA server is a standalone server.
Regards,
Salahuddin Khatri
SKHATRI

Hi All,
Thank you for your replies, so following is what i have done
I have ISA 2006 SP2 Enterprise Edition Standalone server but still you will see Array and Enterprise
1. Export ISA configuration from top of the console do not export it from Enterprise neither from Array you have to export it from the top one.
2. download and install EESingleServerConversionPack.exe, you can install it on your own machine then navigate to the directory where you have installed EESingleServerConversionPack.exe and run the command EESingleServerConversionPack.exe /s <path of
the sourcefile> /t <path of the targetfile> Note: If you have named ISA configuration file with space in the command do not include space.
3. Install TMG export certificates from ISA server and import them in to TMG Server
4. In my scenario ISA was acting as a back end firewall but the template was selected as Edge firewall so i have to correct this template in TMG that is why before importing configuration run the getting started wizard for the network and select the back
end firewall template once finished do not proceed further for more 2 optins click close
5. Import ISA configuration in to TMG
6. in my case ISA was having a network which was bound to DMZ NIC but once you import you will also find the same named network in TMG which was in ISA. but it will not bind with any network card.
7. in my case i have to use the same network range which i was using in ISA so once you import the ISA configuration in TMG you will get the error that IP already exists in TMG and rule can not be imported that is why first i had to use different network
range in parameter network and import was successfull
8. remove IPs from the network of TMG which was imported or came from ISA
9. Give the same network range to the perameter network and same IP ISA IP to DMZ NIC but do not connect that NIC to DMZ switch connect it with your enterprise otherwise you will not be able to proceed and why enterprise network because you will change the
network on web litseners and other rules from ISA network to TMG (Perameter network)
10. change all web litseners and proxy or other rules which contains ISA network and replace it with parameter network.
11. Delete the network from TMG which was imported or came from ISA if you will get error that means it is still being used in some rules
12. compare each and every thing between ISA and TMG
13. Shutdown ISA server and plug in the TMG DMZ NIC in to the DMZ switch test the rules from outside and inside.
it worked for me like a charm.

Report Refresh error In SAP BusinessObjects 4.0

Hello,
We migrated the Universe and Reports from SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 to SAP BusinessObjects 4.0.
Universes are working fine. When we try to refresh reports through the Info view. We are getting the bellow error.
If I try to refresh data I gut following error.
A database error occured. The database error text is: (CS) "DBDriver failed to load : D:\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
)" . (WIS 10901)
environment

Oracle 11g 64 bit
Windows server 2008 R2 64 bit
Regards,
Venkat

Hello,
Usually, you get this error when you are using 32bits drivers instead of 64bits for the connection.
SAP BI4.0 client tools continue to be 32bit applications that require 32bit DB drivers whereas the server components are 64bit and require 64bit DB drivers.
If you need to have on the server both 32 and 64bits installed on the server, then setup identical TNS names files for both 32b and 64b client installations.
You can have Oracle 11g drivers in 32bit and 64bit versions on the same Windows box.

Unable to see SAP BusinessObjects Document Viewer template in 7.4 portal

Hello Experts,
We are looking to integrate dashboards created with BOBJ design studio into enterprise portal (NW 7.4). We have followed the steps mentioned in the blog Integration of BOBJ with SAP Portal.
Namely:
1. Taken the com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.par and com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.templates.epa files from the BI server
2. Imported the EPA file into the portal
3. Converted the com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.par file into EAR file and deployed it into the portal
4. Created System alias for the BI system
5. Configured SSO between portal and the BI server
After doing these steps when trying to create the Business Objects iView we are unable to see the SAP BusinessObjects Document Viewer template in the portal. Can anyone let me know if we have missed some additional configuration that has to be done?
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Experts,
Issue has been resolved. After importing the EPA file into the portal, we missed out restarting the portal. Once this was done I am now able to find the SAP BusinessObjects Document List and SAP BusinessObjects Document Viewer templates in the iView creation wizard.
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Simon,

Now I have figured out and installed the correct component and I can now activate the BC sets
Thanks for your rhelp again

Error: There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise

I am trying to use Crystal Reports Enterprise XI 4.0 with BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 using a Bex Query on an SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SPS 9 BW system. I have been using the SAP Press book u201CIntegrating SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.x with SAP NetWeaveru201D as my guide, attempting to follow it step by step. Please bear with me as I have only started working with this set of products within the last month. (Very new at this and do not have a very good grounding of the way it all works together. Trying to learn as quickly as possible as I am expected to support this set of tools for our developers / users.)
I have been trying to follow along with the book to get everything connected. At this point, I have BOE set up to attach to the SAP NetWeaver BW system. I have created a test Bex Query on the BW system. From within BOE, using CMC, I can configure the Bex Query as an OLAP connection. I have set it up for SSO. I have also exchanged certificates between the BOE and the SAP NetWeaver systems which I believe will allow the exchange of tokens.
I then go into Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0 on my PC. (I am running Windows 7 64-bit on the PC. I installed the BOE 4.0 suite of client tools except for SAP BO Live Office and SAP BO Analysis for MS Office). I can attach to my BOE system and can browse to see the OLAP connections in the BOE. I then try to select one as the data source for a new report. I then get a pop-up window stating:
   Unable to Logon
     There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
       Please check your logon credentials and make sure your network is properly configured before trying again. If the problem
       persists please contact your Administrator.
I cannot find a log / trace / error file on my PC, the BOE system or the BW system to indicate any additional information as to what the root problem is. Has anyone seen a similar error and might know where I can find more information, how to increase trace levels so that I get some additional information or provide hints as to what the root problem might be?
I am also trying to figure out how the authentication works between the PC, BOE and SAP NetWeaver. If using a token, there has to be consistency with the username (or some value) and I am not certain that is happening. Right now, my BOE sources its UME from the SAP NetWeaver BW system. So its user accounts are in the form SID123/ACCOUNT where SID is the SID of the SAP NetWeaver system and the string u201C123u201D is the client on that SID. When I log into the BOE system from within Crystal Reports, I am using the account in that format whereas the account on the SAP NetWeaver BW system in actuality is only the string ACCOUNT. So is the token stripping the string u201CSID123/u201D from the account name when it is sent so that the accounts match? Or do I have to manually configure some kind of account alias (in the BOE system?) so that the two recognize each other? Or something else?
Any hints or ideas around where I can find additional information or where I have gone wrong, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you in advance,
Deb Nugent.

Henry,
Many thanks and excellent suggestions. But I am still not able to get this to work and (once again) am stuck.
RE: Server Connections: When I check my server connection, I have not ticked SSL and am using the non-secure server port for my BOE system. When I click on u201CTest connectionu201D, I can successfully log in using my username / password on the SAP NetWeaver BW system. If I tick the SSL box without changing the port, I get the error message u201CFailed to establish a connection. The cause was u201CCannot connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise at this time. Please try again later.u201D If I tick the SSL box and change the port to use the secure server port for the BOE system, I get the same error.
RE: Preferences: I am using the default settings under Preferences -> Network Settings. We do not manually configure proxy settings on our network so I have ticked u201CUse system proxy configurationu201D and under SSL settings, have ticked u201CUse system keystore / trust storeu201D. I have swapped keys between the BOE system and the SAP NetWeaver system but I have not swapped any keys between my PC and the BOE system or the SAP NetWeaver system (which I do not expect to do but am mentioning here in case I am wrong).
RE: BILaunchPad: I do not have any references for BILaunchPad. Is this u201CWeb Intelligence Rich Clientu201D? If so, I tried starting it, it reported an error: u201CAn error occurred at session creation.u201D Details showed u201CSSL mode is being requested but the following argument(s) are not present: passphrase (FWM 01012)u201D I went into the CMC and checked my SAP connections under Authentications. On the tab u201COptionsu201D, there is the section u201CSAP SSO Serviceu201D where I typed in the KeyStore password. When I created the key store file, I only specified a keystore password and did not specify a private key. Originally, I had it set with the private key blank with the correct password on the keystore. I also tried entering the same password as the private keystore and saving it. I verified that the connection services for Web Intelligence had restarted but I still am getting that same message when I try to start the Web Intelligence Rich Client.
At OS level on the BOE server, I logged in as my boe1 account and checked the parameters that can be entered for the PKCS12Tool.jar file that I used to create the ketstore file I had used. There does not appear to be an option for anything other than the keystore password. There is no private key password field listed.
I searched for the FWM 01012 error and found the HTML and PDF help files form SAP explaining errors. However, it only states u201CEnsure that all SSL arguments are presentu201D but gives no details as to what, exactly needs to be checked.
I will be talking with co-workers today to see if any of them can make sense of this (anoterh set of eyes sometimes helps). Any other suggestions about areas to look for addiitonal details / increased traces / logs?

How to Migrate from SAP BO XI 3.1 system to SAP BI 4.1

Hello Gurus,
I got a new project and I have to start Upgrade and Migration from BO XIR3.1 to BI 4.1. Please help me out here. More detail are given below. Appreciated in advance.
1.1 Technical Scope
Installation of only a production SAP BI 4.1 environment.
Repository is currently on DB2 but will be on SQL Server for the BI 4.1 implementation.
All VMware machines: The new architecture calls for 12 VM servers.
Row-level Security in the universe for authorization of content and Enterprise for Authentication (no SSO). Matrix security model with custom level groups which gives Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced level users to pre-defined folders and content.
Migrate content (objects, universe and instances) from SAP BO XI 3.1 to SAP BO BI 4.1 for the technical upgrade, the details are below:
Universes will stay in the UNV format and will not be converted to UNX.
Only WebI Documents
All Controlled Folders - (~5600 documents)
174 Total objects in Public Documents folders (All documents to upgrade & remediate)
5,433 Total WebI reports in Corporate and other folders (All documents to upgrade, & remediate)
User Folders – (~6,000 documents)
6000 + Webi documents accessed in 2013 ( All 6000 + documents to upgrade, NO remediation)
Inbox – None will migrate
Total Documents to remediate: up to 5,607
Migrate all universes and connections
Migrate all Xcelsius and agnostic documents with no remediation.
The estimated report count for remediation by complexity, Low-1525, Medium-150 and High-50.
Assumes a 10% report remediation effort described earlier sections
Report remediation: should it exceed the base assumptions made in this document, will be implemented as a Change Order. Effort for such change will be mutually agreed between parties. Price to project is determined using this effort and blended rates.
Testing:
Conduct planning and inventory analysis; Reusable templates for Migration Plan, Validation.
Perform migration
Use the Right Sized Testing framework to plan and conduct testing
Use the automated Reports Compare tools to compare large volumes of excel / xml data
Templates based remediation– ensures quality control
Thanking you best regards.
AK.
