SAP Business Objects Metadata Management 3.1 support on BI 4.0 Platform

Dear all Experts,
Since MM is no longer found in BI 4.0, we would like to know, is that possible to install MM 3.1 and connect to BI 4.0 platform? (we are currently going to launch a Platform upgrade project, from XIR2 ( BO and Data Integrator) to  BI 4.0.)
As far as I know, Information Steward is introduced in 4.0 to replace MM, however, it seems that IS requires extra license to be purchased. Therefore, we would like to know, can we install MM 3.1 instead and integrate with BI 4.0 and DS 4.0 (as the latest PAM of MM 3.1 is released years ago, we dont know if there is anything new is not updated).
Thanks very much for your help.

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

    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.

  • 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.
    Please refer the below KBA for more details

    Strategies for better reports, queries, Web reporting, formatting, dashboards, cockpits, planning, and performance management
    advantages of BO
    Crystal Reports XI is the latest version of the report writer from Business Objects. Local reports guru David McAmis takes the new version for a spin.
    Most developers might know Crystal Reports from versions included in Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and other popular developer IDEu2019s such as BEA Workshop, C# Builder, Delphi 2005, JBuilder, WebSphere.
    In this latest installment both report and application developers have something to be excited about as there are a host of new features for report design and integration. Hereu2019s a run-down of what you can expect in this release.
    What's New in Xcelsius version 4.5
    Xcelsius now provides the following new components:
    Candlestick and OHLC Chart components
    The open-high-low-close and candlestick charts are primarily used to display stock data. Each marker corresponds to the four values, which are represented as lines attached to the marker on the OHLC chart and as colors on the candlestick chart. Open displays the opening price of the stock. High displays the highest price the stock achieved on that day. Low displays the lowest price the of the stock on that day. Close displays the closing price of the stock.

    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

  • SAP Business objects mobile on Android - No connections

    Dear All
    I have downloaded the SAP Business objects mobile app on my Android smartphone. The smartphone has a VPN connection to our company network.
    With the IPad I already managed to get a connection to our BO server and I am able to see our mobile reports (Webi+Dashboards).
    But other than on the IPad I am not able to see on the Android a connection to our BO server. I neither see the option to create a new connection. All I see is the 'SAP Analytics Gallery'.
    Is this the correct app or do I need any additional authorisations or any other downloads to be able to get a connection? 
    I hope you can help me.

    Hello Venkata Ramana Pandi,
    As Manoj Dhyani mention in the above thread, try changing it into CWM format and give it a try.
    Follow the below steps:
    Export the DS datastore in CWM format, select the datastore and enter a XML file name
    Open the Universe Builder (this option will be in BOE Program menu), you have a option in Universe Builder to import XML exported from Data Services/Data Integrator, check if that creates your Universe successfully
    to use Metadata Exchange do the following
    Open Data Services Desginer
    Click on tools Menu -> Metadata Exchange
    In the Metadata Exchange window
    Select Export Data Services metadata to a file
    Select DI CWM as metadata format
    enter location for xml file (C:\temp)
    Select the datastore you want to create Universe for
    Click OK
    Check for file named repo_export.xml in the C:\temp folder or the folder that you specified
    Open Universe Builder and Select
    Data Integrator bridge
    and use the xml file as input to create universe
