Running BOE XI 2.0 reports on BOE XI 3.0 and platform support for BOE XI 3.

Hi,
I have recently purchased BOE Pro (for Ent Reporting) XI 3.0
Can you please tell me if crystal reports that have been running on BOE XI 2.0 will also run on BOE Pro (for Ent Reporting) XI 3.0
Can you also please tell me if BOE Pro (for Ent Reporting) XI 3.0 will run on AIX 5L v5.3
Thanks.

You're welcome...

I agree. I often use proxies for the same reason.

I think so. As you probably know, each R/3 using ABAP prx has a stronger connection to XI compared to an R/3 using IDoc or RFC. It has to access SLD, repository, and so on...
So if you have this R/3-XI link always with your 2.0 you shouldn't be messin up.

Yep, I know. My "almost everything fixed" was volountarily ironical
XI 3.0 works much better... though it has its issues as well.

How to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server

Hello,
We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
I need your help
thank you

If it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.

When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial. Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial. Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

Lets clear a couple of things up first.
1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.

When Internet Explorer 8 will be supported for BOE?

There seems to be very little info on Internet Explorer 8 for BOE on Support Portal. Anyone aware of any timeframes?

Hi,
IE 8 is supported in [XI3.1 SP2|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/402db6eb-845d-2c10-a38c-aafde85ec769&overridelayout=true] but only in "Compatibility mode"

Transport strategy for BOE landscape

I am looking for a transport strategy for BOE landscape from security viewpoint. Basically we want to transport crystal reports, webi reports and folders along with security principles (BW roles/users included). Can anybody provide more info on this?
Regards,
Prasad

Yeah...we have LCM (XI 3.1 onwards) and Import Wizard for BOE tranports. But if we use BW roles as principles, transporting reports/folders with Security doesn't give desired results.
For example, if I am transporting a webi report with principle DEV001@RoleA from Dev to QA/PRD, I would get a new group in QA with name DEV001@RoleA instead of QAS001@RoleA. *I am looking for a pointer change here from DEV001 to QAS~001*. I think we have this feature of changing system pointers for Connections/Universes/Crystal Reports in LCM.
I know we need to move crystal reports and publish them again in QAS/PRD but this way we need to assign security for folders. I want to avoid these efforts by doing one time configuration in DEV and moving it to QAS/PRD through LCM. This is more consistent with current SAP Netweaver transport strategy.

Prasad

Hi dwayneat,
BOE XI 3.1 SP2 do support the HPUX-IA64 and mentioned OS. But some tools does not work like LCM and voyager. Checkout for the possibility for this tools with your users.

Budget Report to show the fixed and variable split for Materials

Hello Gurus,
Could you tell me if there is a budget standards report that will show the fixed and variable split for Materials? Example: Labor, Equip., QC and Overheads?
I need it for the correctly rolled-up 'final material number' step. The report that does this now (without fixed and var split) is the Indented BOM Comparison (sret - cost mgmt-product costing - cost mgmt-customized reports - cost estimate comparison - costed multilevel compare rpt - Indented BOM Comparison).
Thanks,
Jefferson

one simple way is in your final itab declare a slno type i field
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
slno type i,
<other fields>
end of itab.
after filling the data in itab.
loop at itab.
itab-slno = sy-tabix.
modify itab.
endloop.
in fieldcatalog also you have to define that slno field as the first column.
but it will change its order if you are sorting the output or filtering the output.

Support for older Crystal Reports .rpt files in BOE XI 3.1

Does anyone know how far back you can go with Crystal Reports objects in BOE XI 3.1? In other words, what's the oldest version of Crystal .rpts that are supported in BOE XI 3.1? Can you run Crystal Reports 9 .rpt files? I'm trying to keep from having to update around 4-5 thousand older .rpts files for an upgrade to BOE XI 3.1.
If we have to do a mass upgrade to CR 2008, what's the best way to do that?
Edited by: Michael Garrett on Aug 23, 2011 4:46 PM

Hi,
from an upgrade perspective you can upgrade from CE9 to XI 3.1. Check
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646952008E/xi3-1_bip_upgrade_en.pdf
(S-User needed)
Do you have a running CE9 installation? If yes i would recommend upgrading this to XI 3.1 as described in the Guide. Or have you these "4-5 thousand" CR9 documents local on a file location?

-Seb.

How/can I use boe search 4 all reports that use specific tables

How/can I use boe search 4 all reports that use specific tables

Hi Bart!
You can use VBScript to extract the dataprovider within the reports (Search for SDK Desktop Intelligence).
If you can wait a few days longer, I can provide my script.

Hardware requirements for BOE XI 3.1

Hello,
I am looking for the hardware requirements to install BOE XI 3.1, but could not find any information in Installation guide as well as deployment guide.
The information given is something like below, but if I click the link it will be redirected to SAP service market place.
================================================
System requirements
For a detailed list of supported environments and hardware requirements,
consult the Products Availability Report (PAR) document available on the
Business Objects support site http://support.businessobjects.com/documen
tation/supported_platforms. This document includes specific version and
patch-level requirements for web application servers, web browsers, and
operating systems. For information related to the planning of a
BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment, consult the BusinessObjects
Enterprise Planning Guide.
================================================
Where can I get the correct document?
Thank you in advanced!
rgs,
Hiroshi

Hi,
go to [http://service.sap.com/bosap-support] and navigate to Documentation->Supported Platforms->BusinessObjects XI 3.1
Keep in mind that what you see there are the minimum HW requirements. And if you are planing on deploying BOBJ on a virtual machine, make sure that it gets enough CPU and RAM and that the disk I/O on the host has a decent throughput.

Where can i find Client software package for BOE XI 3.1

Hi
We have BOE Xi 3.1 on a server . I am looking for the client software package for BOE XI 3.1 so that it could be installed on my laptop. I looked in Service. sap.com/SWDC /Business objects portfolio and could not find the same. All i am finding in there is SBOP INTGR for SAP and i am assuming that this is the software for SAP integration kit.
Could you please point me to exact location within SWDC where i can find the Client software package for BOEXI 3.1.
Thanks & Regards
HGS

Did you download the BOEXI3.1 Server Client Tools when you installed the application? If you have, you can simply run the same install package, and select "client" tools during the installation.
If you don't have the install package, you can download it from the SAP web site. You must have a login account in order to do so. The following are the steps...
-- Go to: http://service.sap.com
-- Click on SAP Support Portal
-- Enter your S-number and password
-- You will be redirected to the SAP Support Portal (NEVER ever bookmark this URL because it changes all the time, you should bookmark the first URL I gave you)
-- Click on "Downloads" tab from the top menu bar
-- Click on "BusinessObjects Downloads" from the secondary menu bar
-- In the "Installations and Upgrades" section on the main pane, click on "click here"
-- Click on "SBOP ENTERPRISE" from the list
-- Click on "BOBJ ENTERPRISE XI 3.1" from the list
-- Click on "Installation" from the list
-- Click on "WINDOWS" (or other OS) from the list
-- Select "BOE XI 3.1 (SERVER/CLIENT TOOLS) WIN 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3"
Hope this helps.

Locating the PAR for BOE XI 3.0

Hi:
I've been assigned the task of planning and implementing our migration from BO 6.5 to BOE XI 3.0. We have a large installation and I'm relying totally on the documentation and guides available. Each document from the Deployment Planning Guide to the Migration Guide to the Installation Guide say to check the "Supported Platforms Report (PAR) located at http://support.businessobjects.com/documenation/supported_platforms" fro the system requirements - As everyone in this forum knows that site no longer exists - Can someone PLEASE point to this document for BOE XI 3.0 before my head explodes!!??? Thank you so much
