SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.0 SP2 Patch 7 setup

Hello Everyone
We have BOXI 4.0 installed on the DEVELOPMENT system. I have been asked to update it to patch 7. I am installing SP2 Patch 7 setup. In one of the installation screens it asks for
Connection Information for Existing CMS
CMS NAME:
CMS Port: 6400
Administrator Logon Information
User: Administrator(greyed out)
Password:
Error: Either the remote CMS cannot be reached, or the logon credentials are incorect.INS00013
For CMS Name i have provided the computer name and not the URL of CMS or localhost, The password is the correct one which i have used to login to  CMS earlier.  Can't understand why is not accepting them.
Also i shutdown the services in Central Configuration Manager before installing. Should i perform the installation while the system is up. Can i change the user in Admin logon information?
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
yes - the CMS has to run during the setup. Starting and Stopping mechanisms are in the setup included.
Regards
-Seb.

  • 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,

    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.
    Please refer the below KBA for more details

  • Please only post SAP Business Objects products related questions here

    Hi
    Thanks for reading.
    Unfortunately many people get confused with the term BI which was used for SAP BW at one time. With the acquisition of Business Objects some product names have changed.
    SAP BW is still SAP BW, please post in the respective forums: /community [original link is broken]
    Business Intelligence in this forum refers to the these SAP Business Objects products:
    SAP Business Objects Enterprise
    SAP Business Objects 4.0
    SAP Business Objects Intelligence Platform 4.0

    Hi Suresh
    Thank you for the detailed response.  I tried your suggestions and neither works.
    LOV issue:
    Within the Business View manager, i right-click on the LOV object and click "Edit List of Values..." and i get a dialog box that only shows me Available fields, List of Value Fields used, description field, and Referenced objects. Along with buttons for Clear Instance & Refersh Status.
    I have read similar posts to what you suggested but never get to the same place as described.
    Please advise....
    as for _Max Number LOV _
    I have researched this as well and found the same suggestion you made. But the PRM file does not have that value, and the file contains all XML code
    Now what???
    Thanks
    Mike

  • SWF exported to SAP Business objects Platform doesn't refresh

    Hi Expert,
                       I have exported the XLF file to Sap Business Objects Platform.
    Can anyone please help me in  suggesting , why it is not refreshing? I scheduled the reports and am trying to get the latest instance of the webi reports.
    I am using live office connection. So I was suggested to use this way of exporting for automatic refreshing of data from the webi reports.
    My Built:
    Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3  with hot fix 3.1,3.2,3.3
    Business Objects Live office XI 3.1 SP2
    Regards,
    Anamika.

    Hi Stratos,
                      I have already installed Fix Pack 2.5 in live office client .
    The situation is that I  have a bar chart  plotted  where KPI values are there against the dates(on X-axis). So, suppose I
    exported the SWF on 2nd Dec . I have  the date starting from 1st Nov to till date on the X axis of bar chart.
       I scheduled the webi reports on 7th dec where i changed the start date in the query filter to 28 nov
    and then observed the SWF in Infoview.
    Results:
    1. Dates on X -axis are changed . Starts from 28 Nov instead of 1 nov.
    2. The data values are not coming for the dates after 2nd Dec.
    It means I am not getting the values for the dates after I exported the SWF
    Can you suggest me something.
    regards,
    Anamika

  • Free Trial SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP5 incl. SAP Business Objects BI 4.1 SP2 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7

    I have 2 questions:
    Relating to accepting Terms and Conditions:
    If I click <Try Now> for solution SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP5 incl. SAP Business Objects BI 4.1 SP2 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7
    and scroll down Terms and Conditions, the button <I Accept> remains disabled.
    Other solutions like SAP HANA, developer edition 1.0 Rev 80 I can accept.
    I have to mention, that so far I have no CAL account
    Is it possible to choose another Amazon Instance Type - instead of the default one (r3.8xlarge with 244 GB RAM)?
    I don't need 244 GB RAM on my BW on HANA server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Harald,
    ad 1) I assume that this is caused by a browser bug. Which browser (IE8, FF31, Lynx, ...) are you using on which operating system (Windows 7, SUSE Linux, ...)? Have you tried another browser to narrow down the possible root causes?
    ad 2) The 244Gb instance is not only hosting HANA but also the ABAP/BW portion. In order to have all the demo scenarios of the BW on HANA Trial working it is required that the HANA server has 244GB of memory available. With less than 244Gb the demo scenarios wouldn't work and then there would be users complaining ;-)

    Thanks & Regards,

    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.

    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)

  • Windows AD Authentication for Business Objects BI Platform

    Currently we are running our installation of Business Objects BI Platform on a Windows 2008 r2 server with Tomcat. We understand that it is recommended that in order to authenticate with Windows AD you need to use Kerberos authentication, and this is true for SiteMinder authentication from this application as well. If this is wrong please let me know.
    Because of the security restrictions on our environment we can not run the needed scripts on the AD server in order to use Kerberos. But also because of the security restriction we have to use SiteMinder against AD.
    Is there any suggestion of what we can do to get this authentication to work? Thanks ahead of time!

    Kerberos is a very secure protocol, compared to others.
    Creating SPNs and enabling the delegation option is required for kerberos to work.
    These steps are suggested by Microsoft for kerberos to work and are not controlled by SAP BO.
    Kerberos also allows you to perform SSO to the DB to view reports on demand.
    However if you wish to use Siteminder, you can pull Active directory users using the AD plug-in and then use Siteminder with Trusted Authentication to pass the username authenticated by Siteminder to BO and BO can use the user name passed to create a session.
    Note: As the user is already authenticated by Siteminder, BO would not perform the authentication again.
    Please go thorough the below SAP Note, that helps setting up Trusted Authentication SSO.

  • 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,

  • 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,

  • SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 on Microfost Office 64-Bit Version

    Hello,
    Has anyone installed SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP6 on Microsoft Office (Excel) 64-Bit Version. I am getting message "The launcher was not able to connect Analysis Add-In. Make sure that Analysis Add-In is not disabled by Office Application".
    When I activated the Analysis Add-In, I am getting below Error: "Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'analysis' add-in." and it is forcing to disable the add-in and asking to check for if any update is available. It was working fine on 32-bit Excel version.
    Thanks,

    Hi Tammy,
    Thanks for the response. It is working fine on 32-bit Office version (with OS 64-bit). I checked the compatibility (OSS 1466118 ) and it supports Microsoft 64-bit office version. Just wanted to see if anyone had successful installation.

  • Query on SAP Business Object and Content shipment..

    I know about SAP Business Suite... & SAP Business One... But what is :
    1. SAP Business Object and
    2. Content Shipment
    The definitions on the SAP Release & Maintenance Strategy and other docs on SDN were not too clear for my understanding. I want to know why are they used / where are they applied ? E.g: if you have a SAP BW system.. why would you need SAP BW Content ? where does it fit in the picture and what purpose does it serve...
    (PS: it would be great if someone can share the product / functionality details of their landscape where these systems are used, how does it benefit the business operations and any other purpose of having them... )
    Thanks,

    Hi Ashim,
    If your client want it to be done in one database, then the answer is no if you do not have any add-on or SDK codes.  Most difficult part is authorization since I believe what you mean project here is not the same as project center in B1,
    If your client allow more than one database, then the configuration will be easy.
    Thanks,
