Installing Business Objects XI R2 on the same server (LPAR) multiple times

Greetings!
My goal is to create "multiple" Business Objects XI R2 instances on a single AIX LPAR, so that I might have up to 8 Business Objects environments. Each environment would be be used to promote reports through test and eventually production. Yes, I know 8 environments is a lot, they won't necessarily be running simultaneiously. We do want 8 environments, with 8 CMS databases all separated.
I belive there are two possibilities:
1. I can create 8 separate Business Objects installs, each in their own separate directory structure, each install owned by a different user. Each installation would use a separate set of ports statically bound to each service that needs to be accessed over a firewall (like CMS, inputFRS, outputFRS,...).
2. Run a single installation of Business Objects and keep sepaarate CMS databases and repositories. I doubt this would work as I've only been able to find configurations for clustering, in which all CMS servers use the SAME CMS database. Is this option even possible?
Does anybody have any similar experiences using AIX? I have already attempted getting a second install running (option #1) but so far I've not been able to keep the second environement's CMS server running using statically-bound ports. They will, however, run simultaneously on the second install without statically binding the ports.
Server details:
IBM AIX 5.3 TL-08
Business Objects XI R2 SP4
CMS database - IBM DB2 9.1.4
Reporting database - IBM InfoSphere 9.5
Server separated by clients via firewall
Users will access Infoview, some access w/Crystal Reports XI
Thanks for your consideration,
Sean Boone

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I've gotten the two environments running but the CMC from one environment is trying to control the CMC from the other. For example, I have added the two installations to a single machine and set them up as follows:
boadmin - userid of "first" environment
boadminf - userid of "second" environment
CMS #1: boenv:6400
Tomcat ports: 8080, 8443, 8005 (std)
CMS #2: boenv:5500
Tomcat ports: 5905, 1720, 1731
So when I login to the CMC on CMS #1 and check "Settings" I see the database alias that I expect. When I logout and then login to the second CMS I see the same CMS database alias. In other words, they are both using the same database. However when I run the "cmsdbsetup.sh" command, it shows the correct alias for each environment.
My only thought at this point might be that since the daemons were given default names I'm going to see the same "service names" even though they are controlled via a separate name server.
Any clues as to what might be the cause here?
Thanks again!

Problem Installing Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 on AIX 5.3

Hi,
We installed Business Objects XI 3.1 first on AIX 5.3 and everything worked fine.
Once we apply BO XI 3.1 SP2 patch (by running the install.sh script from the
BO XI 3.1 SP2 install bits) onto the Business Objects XI 3.1instance, the following error
[error] Errcode 1: gzip -dc "/apps/truecomp/boXI31-temp/xi31_sp2/pkg/jdk00000.tar.gz" | /bin/tar xvfb - 1
during the installation ( when we checked, the package "jdk00000.tar.gz" contained mostly some libraries
that are already existing under the installed java/bin directory, the error is likely due to tar command can't
overwrite the existing files there), and it seems that the library files in "jdk00000.tar.gz" package are same as
the existing files under java/bin directory. So this error may not matter (just our guess).
The real problem for us after installing BO XI 3.1 SP2 is that, the tomcat log (file name "catalina.out") throws
the following exception and tomcat can't start up, so we can't log onto CMC anymore. Anyone know if this is
a known issue or any solution or workaround? The frustrating thing is that, SP2 can't be uninstalled (
it likely thinks SP2 was not installed successfully), and this whole BO XI 3.1 instance is not usable anymore,
we have to remove the whole thing altogether (no way to remove just SP2 part).

Just want to add to the original question that:
the directory (in the error stack from tomcat)
/apps/truecomp/BOXI31/bobje/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost is NOT even existing on the
AIX server which installed BO XI 3.1 SP2.
Would really appreciate any comments on this problem, especially from SAP support team.
We are really stuck here.
Thanks.

Install Business Objects XI R2 on Windows Server 2008

Hi,
I want to install Business Objects on Windows Server 2008 using IIS7 however i cannot select the IIS ASP.Net option when I get to the "Choose Web Component Adapter Type" screen.

Ok,
After not having much like with installing on IIS7.0 i opted to do an install with the TomCat Server.
This was also not successful, It seems that TomCat relies on a service called NTLMSSP
this has been removed in both Vista and Server 2008.. (I guess this is why ive been having so many issues!)...
After doing some reading on the above mentioned service it is quite possible that IIS 7 could also be using it.
Thanks for all your responses, but i guess this is a definate thing now (just in case some one else comes looking for this information)

Use of MYSQL when installing Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1

Hello Team,
I am quite new Business Objects and right now I am using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1.
when installing BO XI 3.1, I was prompted to select the database server to be created. I chose MySQL.
Now, I am curious to know the pupose/involvement of a database server for BO. I understand that the database is being managed/used by CMS and it has four main functions:
Maintains security (users)
Manages objects (folders, reports, and program objects)
Manages servers (services)
Manages auditing (system auditor).
Is there any better explanation to the database and its purpose?
what does the database schema/user holds (any database objects,tables,etc..,)?
Does repository and database schema the same?
Are all the report objects, users and universe being stored in the database schema?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Regards,
Kathir

CMS handles security and routes the request to other services.
Yes, CMS also maintains the BOE repository.
CMS is responsible for authenticating users and groups, and keeping track of the availability of the other BusinessObjects Enterprise services. If CMS is down then users wont be able to log into BOE.
Report Objects, Universe are stored in the Input File Repository and the instances are stored in Output File Repository server.
In simple words, CMS is like heart of BOE.

Unable to login to cmc after installing business objects xi 3.0

Hi Friends,
I'm new to Business Objects, i've installed bussiness objects XI 3.0 and i did not specify the user name and password during installation (since there was a checkbox option to configure it later after installation). Now i've troble logging in. I tried to login using Administrator as username and no password, its neither logging in nor giving me an error message but asking me to provide login details, whereas i could login with the same administrator as username into Business View Manager and Diagnostic Tools. Please help.
thanks.

Change your URL to the IP address of the server or FQDN.
Also try to disable windows enhanced security if using 2003.
Most common causes of this are DNS issues or session problems with the browser (bothh may be resolved with the steps above).

Can we install Business Objects Data Services XI 3.2 with BOE 3.1 SP2

Hi,
I want to install SAP Data Services XI 3.2 and BW 7.1 and BOE 3.1 SP2 are already in place. I want to know befor installation of Data Services that it is compatible with BOE 3.1 SP2. The documentation for Data services tell only about the compatibility of BW and not about BOE. If anybody has installed Data Services XI 3.2 with BOE 3.1 or knows about version compatibility, please shed some light.

Yes,
I have tried install BOE 3.1 SP2 and DS 3.2 SP2 together on 1 machine Windows 2003 64 bit before.
They works fine together.
Just make sure you deploy Tomcat correctly for DS Management Console.
Hope this helps,

Business Query (or Business Objects) transparent sort

Post Author: waldopepper
CA Forum: Older Products
We're using Business Query 6.5.1 to insert data into Excel and we've been doing for a while using a SQL 2000 database and making use of the useful 'transparent sort' feature that lets you order the query results by fields not actually in the selection.We've just started a similar project using a different database (same server) and whenever we create queries for this new database, the transparent sort button is disabled with Business Queries.The help file states: "Transparent sorts are only available if the database at your site supports them"
It's definitely the database that is preventing this - we've used the same ODBC connection, Universe etc as the other DB that does work, just changing the DB it's accessing and it doesn't work when we switch databases to our new one.Does anyone have any idea what is preventing this? User permissions/rights, collation type etc?thanksw

Hi Denis,
Thanks for your response. I am aware that BO v5 is an outdated software but my client is still using it.
I tried to replicate the BusinessQuery issue by using my citrix profile but I also got the same error whereas my colleague didn't have any BQ issues with his profile.
I assume that the citrix team had installed Business Objects v5 in shared environment on WTS long ago and all Citrix BO users will access Business query module with their own profiles. But the BOMAIN.key file didn't copied into shared folder which is under Business Objects installable folder and Citrix team had copied it at some local drive for some reason
I asked the Citrix team to copy the BOMAIN.key file to affected user profile. Waiting to hear user response on output.
Kind Regards,
Srinivas

CMS is not started, giving up while Insatlling Business Objects XI 3.0

Hi
I am trying to install Business Objects XI 3.0 in Linux. But it is failing at 55% all the time. I checked the log at that time and it is like
*[info] Return code from cmslogon.jar: 1*
*[info] ... waited for 160 seconds ...*

and this is repeating till 210 seconds
I have opted for this steps while installing
1. New enterprise install ( enable severs after installation)
2. Default ports
3. Use existing database(oracle).
4. Use existing Java application server, do not deploy web applications.
Please help with your suggestion.

Hi Tim,
I already try installing with MySql and I can see again these messages in my installation log file.
At the moment SAP Support can not give any advice to resolve this problem, do you have any idea why this can be?? and if somebody know anything about the error message that said "method amibiguos" because i believe there is the problem.
These are the resolution sending by SAP, I already try this but still the same.
Symptom
Segmentation fault during the CMS initialization phase of the install
Core file may be created in the <bobje> directory and install will abort
Gdb output of the core file shows the following:
#0 0xf63cdeee in process_next_block () from <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/libWrapCryptoC.so
Reproducing the Issue
1. Launch installation of XIR3 or XIR3.1 on Linux running on AMD Quad Core Opteran chipset
2. Monitor the installation and notice that at approximately 55% during the install the CMS initialization phase will begin
3. CMS initialization will throw a segmentation fault and the installation will abort
Cause
The issue has been identified as a product defect and tracked under ID ADAPT01258674. The defect is in a 3rd party library which is embedded in Business Objects XI3.1 release.
Resolution
Launch the Business Objects XI3.1 installation on Linux.
Wait for the installer to extract the libWrapCryptoC.so file under <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86 directory. This will happen well before the install reaches 55% completion.
While the install is running, and before the CMS initialization begins, replace the libWrapCryptoC.so under the <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86directory with the modified file (see attached).
Let the install continue and you will see the CMS initialize successfully.
The file is uploaded on the SAP site.
Thanks.

Hi Pat,
            You can get the guides and Installtion guides from this
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/
You can download the from
.subscribenet.com
you can enter the user name and password then you can download the Business Objects software that can be download.
"By trying to download - Query as a Webservice i saw there were with sequences 1-3. Which one should i donwload? "
Sequence 1-3 you will have to download all the 3 as it can be part 1 part 2 and part 3.
Tomcat .If you are installing for the first time it will automatically install tomcat and JDK if you are connected to the net while installing Business Objects.

Business Objects XI 4.0 client tools vs Business Objects XI 3.1 client tools

Hello experts,
I have to reset my computer where I have installed : Windows Vista / Office 2003 / Business Objects XI 3.1 client tools ( in the server I have installed Business Objects XI 3.1 SP 4).
In the new computer, I will have a Windows 7, but the problem is that I can't install the Business Objects XI 3.1 version that I have in the old computer. Because It need office 2003 or office xp
My question is that if the Business Objects XI 4.0 client tools supported all the objects that I had created with the Business Objects XI 3.1. And If it will be a problem in the future with the other persons who is working with the Business Objects XI 3.1.
Thank you very much,

Hi Mark,
1. Your desired configuration should be supported, please read appropriate PAM (Product Availability Matrix).
2. Your Client tools 4.0 cannot log on to older version CMS (3.1).
3. My config is Windows 7, MS Office 2010, BO Client tools 3.1 (SP6), BO Client tools 4.1 and more tools like Crystal, Dashboards, Lumira, Live Office...
All tools run OK.
Regards,
Jiri
