OBI SE 1 Administration Tool as a client tool to another OBI SE1 instance

Our client has installed the OBI SE 1 on a "server" machine with no hassles. They then installed OBI SE 1 again on a different "client machine", in order to use, only the Administration Tool as a client tool to the other OBI SE 1 Server instance.
They changed the Oracle BI ODBC connectivity to point to the other machine but when they try to use the Administration Tool they get the following message:
[nQSError: 37001]Could not connect to the Oracle BI Server instance.
They then tested the ODBC Client tool to test connectivity and they can access the OBI Server instance in question.
I know that with the SE 1 installation there are no separate installs for client and server components, so my question is: can they do this or in the SE 1 the Administration tool must reside on the same machine as the Oracle BI Server??
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sergio

Did they use the "Oracle BI Server" ODBC type?
Are they able to successfully ping the remote machine?
There is also a possiblity that they did not fully configure the connection to the Remote Repository. There are 3 steps to the wizard.
The Admin tool is the same admin tool that comes with BI EE (but at a lower release level than the current BI EE, so do not try to just install that client, it will adjust the Repositoy upward and then it will be incompatible with BI SE One). I have connected to many remote repositories without any problem.
Can you post the full log from C:\OracleBI\server\Log\NQSAdminTool.log
Thanks

Installation of SQL Server 2008 failing - Client Tools

Hello,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Client Tools on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005 (Full install). I select "Client Tools Connectivity" "Client Tools Backwards Compatibility" "Client Tools SDK" and "SQL Client Connectivity SDK". During installation, I receive this error message "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file E:\x86\setup\x86\sqlncli.msi". The installation then fails. Is the older version of sql native client interfering with the new install? Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!
-Theresa

So I tried to reinstall missing features, but I was getting the same error message about the sqlncli.msi file. I tried executing it from the folder, but got the same error.
When I went to remove the items that did get installed from Add or Remove Programs, I got the following error:
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
No feature were uninstalled during the setup execution. The requested features may not be installed. Please review the summary.txt log for further details.
Error code 0x84B30002"
Not sure what to do..

By Client Tools I mean Administration Tools, ODBC Driver and so on (all components included in OBI Client Tool option in OBI installation wizard)...
Just for your information , when I try to install OBI Client tools (same option in the wizard) in version 10.1.3.3.1 on the same windows platform, it works very well !!!

Installing Informatica powercenter 9.0.1HF2 client tools on Linux 64 bit

Hi all,
I'm building OBIA 7963 on Linux x86-64but server.
do we have Informatica powercenter client tools installables for Linux 64bit? if not please guide me how to proceed for this.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram
please follow the below procedure to install the informatica in LINUX
PowerCenter - Installation and Configuration (9.0.1 for OEL Linux 64Bit)
This article talk about the installation of PowerCenter from Informatica on:
•     Oracle Entreprise Linux 64 bit version 5 Update 5
•     Oracle Database 11gR2
After you complete the installation and configuration process, you have to log in to the Administrator tool to create and configure the following services:
•     PowerCenter Repository Service
•     PowerCenter Integration Service
Oracle Database
parameter
Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursor;
NAME TYPE VALUE
open_cursors integer 300
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000 SCOPE=BOTH;
System altered.
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursors;
NAME TYPE VALUE
open_cursors integer 1000
Repository Account
At least two database user accounts are required to host this repository :
•     POW_REP for the repository Database
•     POW_DOM from the domain Configuration Database
with the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
For Oracle, you must perform the following instruction :
CREATE USER POW_REP IDENTIFIED BY POW_REP
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW TO POW_REP;
CREATE USER POW_DOM IDENTIFIED BY POW_DOM
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW, SELECT ANY dictionary TO POW_DOM;
The grant “select dictionary privilege” to the user POW_DOM is only needed to verify the parameter Open_Cursor during the prerequisite check.
Repository Tablespace
Set the storage size for the tablespace to a small number to prevent the repository from using an excessive amount of space.
Also verify that the default tablespace for the user that owns the repository tables is set to a small size. The following example shows how to set the recommended storage parameter for a tablespace named POWERCENTER_DAC.
ALTER TABLESPACE "POWERCENTER_DAC" DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 10K NEXT 10K MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
PCTINCREASE 50 );
Operating System
Login as root
Processor
Verify that the process match the software (x86_64)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -p
x86_64
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# uname -orv
2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 29 22:10:29 EDT 2010 GNU/Linux
Temporary Disk Space Requirements
The installer writes temporary files to the hard disk. When the installation completes, the installer deletes the temporary files and releases the disk space.
Installer UNIX      1 GB
Informatica Services UNIX      2 GB
Verification of the temporary space with the df commando: Linux - disk free command (df)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# df -h /tmp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
77G 16G 58G 22% /
User Account
On UNIX, create a user account specifically to run the Informatica daemon.
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# /usr/sbin/useradd powercenter
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# id powercenter
uid=502(powercenter) gid=506(powercenter) groups=506(powercenter)
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# passwd powercenter
Changing password for user powercenter.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Port
Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you install Informatica Services.
[root@di-obia-01 ~]# netstat -tulpn|grep 6005
The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.
Environment Variables
Use LANG and LC_ALL to set the UNIX code page for the installer.
File Descriptor
Informatica service processes can use a large number of files. Set the Linux - File Descriptor limit per process to 3000 or higher.
In the file /etc/security/limits.conf, add this line:
# PowerCenter
powercenter hard nofile 3001
powercenter soft nofile 2500
And verify with the ulimit function logged as the powercenter system user account:
[powercenter@di-obia-01 ~]$ ulimit -Hn
3001
Note:The limit is set to 3001 to prevent an error with the value 300 during the prerequisites check
Installation directory and Permission
As root, create the installation base directory:
mkdir -p /powercenter/9.0.1
chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter
chown -R powercenter:powercenter /powercenter/9.0.1
chmod -R 775 /powercenter
chmod -R 775 /powercenter/9.0.1
As the installer (powercenter), copy the file to a tmp directory, unzip and untar it:
[powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ unzip V26109-01.zip
Archive: V26109-01.zip
inflating: 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
[powercenter@di-obia-01 powercenter901]$ tar -xf 901HF2_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
Change the permission of the file install.sh to execute
chmod -R 744 /tmp/powercenter901/install.sh
Server
Pre-Installation System Check
To verify whether a machine meets the system requirements for an Informatica installation, run the Pre-Installation System Check Tool (i9Pi) before you start the installation process.
You can find the i9Pi tool in the following directory: <InstallerExtractDirectory>/i9Pi
[powercenter@di-obia-01 i9Pi]$ ./i9Pi.bin

BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 SP3 Connection Error

Hello everybody,
I installed BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 on the server, the server has Windows Server Enterprise 2007.
Locally, in my Laptop, I installed the BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 SP3, but i can´t connect with the CMS using the Webi, or anyother tool to the server. I made everything that is in the administrator, installation and configuration guides, but reading the administrator guide for Query as a WebService I read that if you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise Tools you need a key license to us it, the question will be this.
Do i need a different license than the one what i use to install the BusinessObjects Enterprise on the server to install, connect and use the BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 SP3 on every machine that i install and use for it????
Thanks and regards.

You do not need separate or additional license for the Client Tools.
Most often Client tools cannot connect to server components because :
1. CMS server is not running on the server
2. There is a firewall between Client machine and the server machine and firewall specific settings were not done. (Admin guide - working with firewalls section).

[BO 4.0 Client Tools] Problems with using Translation Manager

I have Installed SAP BO 4.0 with SP 2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server with a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 as repository Server.
I have patched the Server with the SP4 for BO. I have installed the Client tools with the same Patchlevel (SP 4) on the same Server.
The Java - Installation is the Installation from SAP BO 4.0
Now I try to use the "Translation Management Tool"
Login with a BO - Administrator and Enterprise authentification.
Next Step ist to load an object from the repository.
This ends with an error Message: java.lang.Exception: initInstance failed. -2
And now? I have no idea.
Who can Help?
Ralph

Hello Mister Makmerphy,
it seems, that the higher memory limit solved the problem.
I made it in some steps and now I have a memory limit with 3 Gbyte.
And with a last step I've added the last 4 parameters.
But now I have the Problem:
"This server is considered failed because it has stopped 5 time(s) in 60 minute(s)."
And the actuall status is "failed"
Where can I reset this counter.
Waiting another hour to restart doesn't help
System Reboot doesn't help.
Where can I reset this counter or this timer.

BPC Client tool

I am new to BPC ... Where can I download the BPC client tool to connect to server. Do you need a GUI client or is it a web based client similar to Visual Composer?
Thanks

Hi,
There 2 clients for SAP BPC NW.
They are both available on the BPC Web portal (http:
SAPBPCWEBSERVER\osoft)
From the BPC portal you will find a link to client download page (don't remember its name).
Note : As you will be authenticated on IIS, your domain account must be recorded in SAP BPC security first. Ask your SAP BPC administrator. You also must be local administrator privilege on your computer in order to install them.
The first client is the "Admin" client : It will allow you to manage Appset and application / dimensions / security ... etc.
The second client is a Microsoft Office plugin : It will allow you to access SAP BPC appset within Excel.
Both requires some technical prerequisites on your computer. Check the online guide on SAP Marketplace or run the client diagnostic tool from the SAP BPC portal page.
Good luck and welcome.

Https call from SAP SOAP client tool

Hi,
in order to call a webservice via https using the SAP SOAP client tool, I've done the following:
1. The Client cert field filled with my personal certificate from IE (pcert.pfx)
2. The Trust store field left as it was (cacerts file of the jre).
When calling the service I am getting
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
Very likely this is caused by setting 2.
Could anybody advise how to get an X.509 certificate of trusted root CAs? Any chance to export from IE or would one have to get that from a CA? File types required are ppfx or p12, which is strange since these contain private keys.
Much appreciated.
Rene Funke

Hi Rene,
You need to include the full certificate chain in the p12 file. i.e. private cert and root CA cert. IE will not export the full certificate path with the private certificate unless it was imported into IE with this flag set. You could use Firefox to generate the pks12 file. It will include the full certificate path.
This private certificate (p12 file) should then be added to the truststore in XI.
Also, .p12 (pkcs#12) file format defines a file format commonly used to store private keys with accompanying public key certificates - not just private keys.
Hope this helps.

Edit .app file in excel and then open it in client tool?

Dear Gurus,
I am very new to HFM and would like to know what practice a HFM consultant will use in editing the metadata.
My boss recommend me to edit metadata( .app file) in excel and save it into a format that can be read and opened by client tool.
However, I find no way to achieve this.
How can i edit metadata in excel and then open it in HFM client tool?

Good morning,
I think the best way to do it it's working with macros. You can work with an Excel file and then, convert it to the .txt format by using macros. A .txt is more suitable to be later worked as .app.
However, you can also do it by using Copy/Paste.
1. Open the .app in a Note Pad, so you can work with .txt file.
2. Copy the .txt data in the Excel file.
3. Then, it's just working with Data > Text to Columns to format the file. Then, you can work in Excel.
Then, you will have to put the Excel file in a .txt, so you will have to follow the data files requirements. You still can do this manually, but you will have to pay attention to the format (FILE_FORMAT=11.1.2, !VERSION=11.1.3609, !CUSTOM_ORDER=Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4, !APPLICATION_SETTINGS, !CURRENCIES, etc., as it is the Admin Guide). It will also depend on the HFM version you're working with, specially when working with customs.
I received a good document about a couple of months ago that can be helpful, so if you send me an email address, I'll forward it.
Regards,
Lu

Change SAP BI Password from BO Client Tools / Infoview, SAP Authentication

Hi,
We are using SAP BI BO Integration Kit (BO XI 3.1, SAP BI 7.0) & able to use SAP BI Queries with WebI, Xcelsius etc.
For a user group, we would be providing only Infoview access (using SAP Authentication). This means we would not want to install any BO Client Tools, SAP GUI or SAP Integration Kit Client, on user desktop.
We are faced with a issue - How does the user change password from Infoview (this is an SAP BI User ID used to login from Infoview).
Initial Password of SAP BI User cannot be changed from Infoview, since it doesnot prompt for changing the Initial Password.
Any ideas how to handle this situation.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

Hi Erwin,
no. Also within BI4 you are not able to change your SAP password.
The Workaroung of Ingo is very suitable using SAP GUI for HTML.

Management and maintanence of 2008r2 developments with 2012 client tools

Hi eb
I need to manage and maintane sql server 2008r2 developments like databases,ssis packages,ssrs reports,ssas native cubes
and at the same time start developping in 2012 tools for 2012 servers with thier own version of client tools.
Questions:
Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
Are there any known issues with development of any of the sql server 2008r2 components after instalation of the 2012 client components?
I guess it is not possible to uninstall the 2008r2 client tools alltogther because managing 2008r2 developments from within 2012 client tools would automatically upgrade them to 2012 version (as was the case with the 2005-2008 versions before)?
Last and not list do 2012 client tools require windows 7 OS?
TIA for your attention
Rea

>>>Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
Yes, they can , but you can develop SSIS 2012 to work against SS2008R2

Unable to install Client Tools for Sybase ASE 15.7 on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit

Hello Folks,
I just downloaded the client tools package from https://support.sap.com/swdc --> Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z list --> SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE --> SYBASE ASE 15.7 --> Installation --> Microsoft Windows --> 51044415.zip
I'm trying to install the client tools for a newly provisioned Windows 2012 64-Bit machine. After unzipping the folder and running autorun, the installation does not proceed. When I go to pcclient64 and run either setup.exe or setupConsole.exe, I get the error "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit, Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)". I stumbled across various posts on the forum, and it appears that the installer is not certified for Windows Server 2012. I tried using the compatibility mode for Windows 7, and it proceeds further and launches the SAP GUI; however, it closes afterwards.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
51044415 is a PC-Client 15.7 refresh.
You are using a version that was not certified with Windows 2012. Get the most current version PC-Client 15.7 SP130 or SDK 15.7 SP130 or SP132.
If your looking for PC-Client5.7 SP130 look for EBF23439
We didn't get certified with Windows 2012 until SDK 15.7 ESD#6 even with that I reported a few minor issues.
You need the following on the machine before the installation.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
Thanks,

BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP4) Error

BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP3) are installed OK on a Workstation...
Business View Manager = 12.3.0.601
Designer = 12.3.0.601
WebIntelligence Rich Client = 12.3.0.601
I have downloaded the "SBOP Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 ServicePack 4" files from the SAP Support site (ENTERPRISECLNT04_0-10007619.exe).
When I run the EXE - it unzips the files for about 10 minutes and then starts the install - but quickly throws the error below...
"The update installation cannot proceed because either the target product is missing or is not the correct version for this update. Verify that the product to be updated exists on your system and you have the correct patch."
Anyone seen this error before - and know the fix...?
Thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions.

Hi Mark,
This error may show up if have installed the client originally from the Server build, or the other way around. You may check the registry, if it has key codes for the enterprise it means the client was installed by the server build.
I have installed BOXI 3.1 sp4 clients on several machines no issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Muhammad
