SAP Business Objects Access control with BI4.1 and enterprise authetication

Hi Team,
We are on BI 4.1 with enterprise authentication. We are using IDM (oracle waveset 8) for access management. Currently we receive request from IDM and we manually configure user in BI4.1. We are now planning to automate this process, like as soon as user request place request through IDM , his access wil lget configure in BI 4.1
can we achieve this using SAP Business Objects Access controle or with any other method ? Need your guidance
Thanks,
Nivedita

Hi Andrea,
1. you configure the BOE Server with the SAP authentication for your SAP server
1b you configure trust between the portal server and the SAP system
2. you import the portal iView template as part of the SAP Kit into the portal server
3. you create a new system (or use an existing one) in the portal system landscape and configure the properties of the Crystal Enterprise properties
4. you create a new iView based on the portal iView template
ingo

Atul,
Check if you are able to login into Manage Servers through Central Configuration Manager.
If thats successful, the issue is either with Krb5.ini or bscLogin.conf file.
You can check http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1631734 and download the white paper to go through the settings.
Make sure there are no white spaces in Krb5.ini and the format is correct.

SAP Business Objects Explorer app Sybase SUP settings

Hello Community,
Is there a guide or a how to for setting up the SAP Business Objects Explorer application with Sybase Unwired Platform?
I found a guide to setup the SAP BusinessObjects Mobile application but nothing for Explorer.
Could someone please advise?
Thank you
Jared

Hi All,
If SUP comes is introduced in the landscape then the whole licensing structure changes then when used where we directly connect to BI server from the SAP BI app instead of introducing the SUP in the landscape.So what will be advantages of using the SUP against when we compare the licensing part in both the system landscape with SUP and without SUP.Also if we directly use the app with the BI server then apps user license will also play some role ??.I am new to the Mobile BI division and so please forgive me if i have asked some silly question and also some starter links are welcomed.
Thanks & Regards,
Fenil Doshi.

BI Accelerator used in combination with SAP Business Objects Explorer

Hi ,
If you use SAP Netweaver BWA and SAP Business Objects Explorer Blade, do you only get the full benefit with using SAP BO Explorer, or will the same queries ran in BEx 7 Anaylser also benefit from the in memory OLAP processing?
I'm guessing that the SAP BOE Blade will only benefit SAP BOE.
It would be great if the current BWA had the ability to in-memory the OLAP part of the processing, as then it might be worth the hassle of getting it installed.
Thanks,
Jamie

Tutorials for starting with SAP Business Objects Explorer: Excel / Crystal

Hello,
we want to start with SAP Business Objects Explorer. I have been searching for tutorials for while without success.
Are there any tutorials or documentation that shows how to work with excel-files as data source or how to upload Crystal reports files (.rpt) to the Explorer?
Thanks in advance for helpful hints.

As far as I know the SAP BUsiness Explorer car retrieve data either from a universe or from the SAP BWA. So hat you should be looking for is information on how to set Excel files as data sources for universes.

SAP Business Objects Edge 3.0

Hi Gurus,
I was downloaded the SAP Business objects Edge 3.0 Trial version from SAP. I am using SAP 4.7 with oracle 9.2 DB... I want to integrate Edge 3.0 with our SAP for reporting purpose.. Please explain how can i configure this and what are the other softwares are required for this. I go throw the guides but i am not getting clear idea.
Now i just installed the business objects enterprise in one system web console are login correctly.
But i don't know how to connect my SAP DB with this.
Please help me.
Regards
Mahendran

Hi,
you still need the mentioned software packages even if you do not have an SAP BI system. You can also configure your SAP R/3 system to do the BO authentication. The main difference is that you have to use crystal reports in order to access the data in your SAP system. You cannot report using Web Intelligence (universes) on an SAP R/3 data source.
So you have to do the following:
1) Install the SAP BusinessObjects Edge 3.0 software on host A
2) Install the Crystal Reports Designer 2008 V0 on host B (HostA and hostB can also be the same computer)
3) Install the Java Connector 2.1.8 on host A ([http://service.sap.com\connectors]). You will find more information on this in the installation guide of the integration Kit for SAP solutions.
3) Install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host A (Choose the server option in the installation). Please follow the instructions in the installation guide on how to do this.
4) If hostA and hostB are two different machines then please install also the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host B (Choose the desktop option in the installation)
5) Import the transports delivered in the integration KIT for SAP solutions in your SAP R/3 system (Check the installation guide for more information on these steps)
6) Configure the SAP authentication in your BOBJ Edge system (necessary if you want to logon with your SAP credentials in BOBJ)
This way you should be able to create reports based on your SAP R/3 data.

Stratos

SAP Business Objects Add-ins

Hello,
I have a computer with SAP Business Objects 4.1 SP2 and SAP PowerDesigner 16.5.3.2 (4343).
When I try to enable SAP BusinessObjects Add-ins I get the error message "Add-in SAP BusinessObjects license check failed".
Anyone can help ?
Kr,
Thierry

Hello Marc,
As ex-Sybase customer, I wasn't aware about a version "Standard Edition" vs another one. I just made a control about which version is installed.
I made a control and I confirm the following elements:
- It isn't PowerDesigner "Standard Edition"
- Client platform is Windows 8.1
- I noticed a problem with "gacutil.exe" during initial installation of version 16.5.
- Associated license is "EnterpriseArchitect"'
- I confirm I cannot activate several add-ins such as "SAP Business Objects", "SAP HANA" and "SAP ERP"
- I see all add-ins mentioned before in PowerDesigner add-ins menu (General options)

Migration of SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 from Windows(OS), SQL Server(DB) to AIX(OS) and Oracle(DB).

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
Asleh

Hi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
