SAP BI-BO Integration for "BO XI 3.1 on HP-Unix-PA-RISC-64 bit"+Oracle WAS

Question

Hi,
We have set up SAP Integration Kit to integrate SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI
3.1. Our BO system is set up on Unix HP-UX-PA-RISC 64 BIT and Oracle Web Application Server
10.1.3.
When we are creating a WebI report using WebI Rich Client, we are able
to fetch the data from SAP BI Query and also refresh the data using
WebI Rich Client (Desktop).
When we are creating a WebI report from Infoview, we are able to create
the WebI report,but we get the database error "Unable to Bind to
NetworkLayer Object"
(WIS 10901)" when trying to Run the Query i.e.
fetch the data from SAP BI Query. Same error is also there when we try
to refresh the data from Infoview for a WebI report created using WebI
Rich Client (Desktop).
We raised an OSS Message with SAP. We got a response that :
====================================================================
The reason you're having this problem seems to be because you don't have the SAP dataAccess library (libdbd_sap.so) and its equivalent config files (sap folder).
Those are the files that manage the connection from BOE queries to SAP.
You can check that they exist in your Windows client fine(.dll).
Here's what I have in my HP-UX system:
$ ls -l sap
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 4671488 Sep 13 2008 libdbd_sap.so
sap:
total 80
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 4650 Sep 13 2008 sapen.cod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 358 Sep 13 2008 sap.prm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 10670 Sep 13 2008 sap.rss
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xi31 users 1343 Sep 13 2008 sap.sbo
These drivers are not installed with the SAP Kit but with the BOE setup
itself - meaning you can have a system without SAP Kit but with these drivers.
On the other hand, with SAP Kit, you can have other features such as your working SAP authentication fine but not this one since it comes with BOE.
====================================================================
Request the SDN Community to check the below mentioned :
Platform : HP-UX-PA-RISC 64 bit
Oracle WAS (instead of Tomcat).
1) Which installer was used to install BOE XI 3.1 ?
2) Is the BOE XI 3.1 base installer available for HP-UX-PA-RISC-64 bit ? I could not find one at SAP Service Market place (the nearest one is for HPP - 32 Bit)
3) Do you have the relevant SAP Folder & Drivers on this path, as per the above SAP OSS Message.
4) Any inputs on how to resolve the issue (we have so-far tried with 4 different installers for HP-UX-PA-RISC and not got any success)

Answer 1

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
(A) We have attempted with BOE and SAP Integration Kit in the sequence. My earlier communication has all the attachments for the steps followed, and the SAP message.
(B) We have HP-UX-PA-RISC-64 bit. Request to please point us to the correct installer on this link
(C) We have done 4 complete trials :
1) BOE XI 3.0 Installer provided by BO Consultant, 6 months back & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
BOE XI 3.0 --> Upgrade to BOE XI 3.1 --> BOE FP 1.2 for XI 3.1 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.1 --> Integration Kit FP 1.2 --> Oracle WAS Manual deployment steps
2) BOE XI 3.0 Installer & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
BOE XI 3.0 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.0 --> Oracle WAS manual deployment steps
3) BOE XI 3.1 Installer for HP-UX-PA-RISC-32bit (HPP) & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
BOE XI 3.1 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.1 --> Oracle WAS manual deployment steps
4) BOE XI 3.1 Installer provided by SAP OSS Support & rest downloaded from SAP Service Market Place.
BOE XI 3.1 --> SAP Integration Kit for BOE XI 3.1 --> Oracle WAS manual deployment steps
None of these steps have helped us.
SAP OSS Support asked us to check availability of the "SAP Folder" and "Lib / driver" files on the Connection Server Directory; which would appear once BOE XI 3.1 installer is installed (ONLY BASE Install, SAP Integration Kit is not needed).
We have also confirmed this with one another Client / Project. They have HP-UX-Itanium-64 bit and BOE-XI 3.1 only base install (No SAP Integration kit). This particular SAP Folder / Drivers are available without any SAP Integration kit.
Request to correct me, if I am wrong :
SAP Integration kit additionally provides the drivers needed for Crystal & SAP Authentication.
