SAP folder from BOE server

Hi Experts,
I have a SAP ECC 6.0 and BOE BI server, what type of query I should be use to create my Crystal Report to publishing from BOE's /SAP/ folder to ECC?
Can I use BW in SAP ECC system?
Thanks & Regards,
LuongDK

Hi,
in terms of data sources take a look here:

the publishing integration is only for SAP BW.

Distribute Crystal Report from BOE Server

Hi,
=========
Installation on Client machine:
Crystal Report 2008 V1 SP1 and SP2
SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2
Installation on BOE Server:
BOE XI 3.1 SP2
SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2
Installation on BW:
SAP BW 7
========
Created crystal report on top of SAP BW Query, and save/publish the Crystal Report into BOE Server directly via Crystal Report ->File ->Save as (I understand that we can also save the Crystal Report into BW role, then publish the Crystal Report into BOE Server via the BW Publish, but we're not using the BW Publish option here).
Now user can logon to BOE InfoView and execute/display the Crystal Report, no problem.
My question is in BOE Server, is there any functionality that allow us to execute the Crystal Report and send it to the user automatically via email? Just like the BEx Broadcaster functionality in SAP BW 7.
If yes, how can I do it?
Any help is appreciated.

Seb,
I have a look at the document: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf
I can see where to schedule the Crystal Reprot to run in the background and send out via email option.
However, I dont see how the report can be sent out from BOE server. Is there any setting need to be done so that BOE Server can send out the crystal report?
Please help, thank you.

Finder resets itself to default local folder when I delete a folder from a server. How can I stop this?

Hello there,
At work I use a Mac Pro (like this one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-2008-s pecs.html)... and I have a very weird problem that is really annoying.
I don't have the information (but I can get it tomorrow) on the operating system or any information of the server I am having the issues with. But I was hoping maybe some one else with the same issue might have the answer without all of that information.
We use the server to access, open, edit, save, delete, move, etc... all of the files we are currently working on. No files are ever transfered to our local computer's hardrive and then copied back to the server (don't ask me why, and don't tell me to do that, this is how it's done in the office, and this is what I have to do)...
The issue is this. When I have to delete a folder from the server, which is usually a folder within a folder, and maybe within another folder, and another, and another (meaning it takes me time to look for this), the Finder deltes the folder (and asks if I am sure I want to delete it, because it will be deleted forever since I am deleting it from the server)... and when I say yes, the Finder window that I am currently on (the folder which contains the folder that I am deleting) reverts back to the initial "device-folder" for my local mac pro... meaning the folder which is the main folder of that mac pro, where I can see the mac pro's hard drive, any external hardrives, any usb pen drives, any cds, etc...
So EVERY TIME I delete a folder on the server, which is more than 30 times a day, I get "kicked out" of the foler which contains the folder to be deleted, and gows back to tha "main" folder of my computer, so I have to go back to the server, back to the folder, and sometimes it is a folder, within a folder, within a folder, etc, etc, etc, ... and don't tell me the solution is to create a shortcut on my sidebar for that folder, because the folders are the jobs that I may be working on that day, so I could work on as many as 30 different folders per day, and I do have those in my sidebar, but it is still pretty annoying to have to go back to that folder.
One thing I noticed... SOMETIMES, not all the times... IF I delete two folders instead of one, it won't do it... or IF I drag the folder to the trash, instead of clicking on my "delete" icon on my finder's toolbar, it won't do it... but this is only SOMETIMES. So these are not the solutions either.
I can try to get a screen cap tomorrow of the issue, but if anyone has this same issue and knows how to fix it, plese let me know.
I will also try to get more info on my computers OS and the server.
Thank you,
MW

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?

How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

Hi all,
I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112)) -- 7 days back date folder name
SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
--Print @cmd
This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
Thanks,
Prasad R.

I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
Old method is
declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
    set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
    EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
    EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER
Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist system stored procedure
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
RETURN @file_exists
END
GO
-- test
SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

How to decrease timeout value when there is no response from BOE server?

We are using BOE XI R2 .NET SDK to logon BOE XI R2 Server as below as well as using Infoview/CMC logon BOE:
set boSessionManager = Server.CreateObject("CrystalEnterprise.SessionMgr")
set boEnterpriseSession = boSessionManager.Logon(boUserID, boPassword, boCMS, boAuthType)
There is no response for long time from BOE server after I excuting log on BOE using .NET SDK or Infoview/CMC App for more than one minute.
So I want to timeout the logon atction after a certain time such as one minute if there is no response from BOE server.
My question comes:
1. What is the default timeout value for this operation?
    Where can I find it and how to modify it?
2. I found ther are some registry keys on .NET APP Server:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Report Application Server\InprocServer\EnterpriseRequestTimeout
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter\WaitReplyTimeout
Are they for the action timeout I mentioned above? If not, what do they work for?
It seems that WaitReplyTimeout is for report data retrieval timeout according to Kbase article 1199286 and which registry setting to change for long running reports, is it correct?
Thanks for any response.
Thanks,
Sunny

I don't think there is a setting available for this. The timeouts you are looking at are essentially how long to wait for a report to process.
My concern about trying to find a setting like this is that if you do get the client (aka SDK) to timeout after one minute, the CMS may still recieve this request shortly after and logon, creating a session that no longer has a handle to it and will then have to wait for it to timeout because of inactivity which would tie up a license.

Crystal Report and SAP BW and BOE Server

Hi,
I have installed the following on my local PC:
1) Crystal Report (51038906 CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V1 SP3 Win Server on IA32 32bit) on my local machine.
2) SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 (follow Ingo's document, but under the "Component", I only select the "Client" as I installed this on my local machine)
In Crystal Report, I can build new report on top of SAP BW Query. I can save into BW System via menu SAP ->Save as
In Crystal Report, menu File ->Save as, there I have the option Enterprise. When I click on the Enterprise, I can logon and save the crystal report into the BOE folder that I created, but encountered this error:
Failed to commit objects to server:
Create operation fails
Do you know what's the problem?
At the moment, I have installed BOE XI 3.1 SP2 and SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2 on the BOE Server. Do you think this is the cause of the problem (I am using SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 on my local PC)?
Any help will be appreciated.

To start with there is no SP1 for XI 3.1
The version number 12.x.y.z can be read as follows:
12 means that you have BusinessObjects XI 3.something
x is the Service Pack Number. If x=1 this means that BOE XI 3.1 is installed. XI 3.1 is considered to be BO XI 3.0 with SP1.
z is the number of fix pack.Note that 0 means that you do not have any Fix Pack installed.
So if you see something like:
12.2.4.z
you can assume that you have BO XI 3.1 with SP 2 and FIx Pack 2.4 installed
In your case
12.1.0.z
means that you have BOE XI 3.1 installed.

Delete folder from application server

Hy folks i'm been reading many topics about creating and deleting a folder ( entire folder) from application file.
i successufuly create a file by using command and SM69 cmd /c mkdir,
and that's ok, what i'm unable to do is to delete a directory.
witch command should i use?
is it all possible to zip a folder?
Regards.

Hi,
you have to delete all files in your directory before deleting the directory. Otherwise, it is not possible.
The command is: rmdir -p
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD 'rmdir -p'
ID 'TAB' FIELD tabl-*sys*
Afterwards, to Zip a folder, refer to the class CL_ABAP_ZIP.

Move a single Public Folder from one server to another cross-domain

Hi, I need to move specific Public Folders from a database on Exch2007 to a database on Exch2010. These are 2 separate domains and are already set up with their respective Public folder databases. I have a customer requirement to move from one domain to
the other. All mailboxes are moved, I just need to move their Public Folders. What is the easiest way to carry out this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can take PST of public folder from source forest and import PST on target forest from Outlook client.
Then you can use ExFolders to export and import PF permissions.
Best regards,

Sync a folder from the server with 2 other macs?

This is a story of 3 macs.
Mac Mini - the server
Macbook Air - Kelly's Computer
Macbook Pro - Ethan's computer.
We run a small business, and I've created a set of folders on the Mac Mini which runs 24/7 and words as a nice server. (for example, a folder for HR, one for IT, one for Sales, one for markeing... and so on. Each folder can contain anything from a MS Word doc to excel, to adobe files, to media files...
I have a copy of that "set of folders on both Kelly and my computer. So, I might open a spread sheet, or a word doc, make a change, then I save it and have to copy and replace the file on teh server (if I remember).
Or, I might copy a new media file into the marketing folder, but then I need to remember to also copy it to the server.
Anyone see where I'm going with this?
Google Docs - No. I don't think it that's what I need. I'm learning it, but Google docs changes the formating of my MS word files. Plus, I have other kids of files, such as adobe files for marketing and such.
Is there a good "auto sync" or something that could be a good choice? I'm open to other ideas. Perhaps I don't know google docs enough. But, I'd also like to keep this in house. IT's only the 2 of us, so I'm not a fan of depending on a third party company for something like this.
I seem to remember that Retrospect would targe a specified folder, and anytime ANYTHING changed in that folder, it would sync it to the server. Does it still do that? Anything else?
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
Ethan-

I like Dropbox for this kind of thing. I've been using it for a year or two, very stable, free, and easy to use.
The Google people have a talent for making their apps incompatible with Mavericks, so I would avoid Google Docs.
If you don't want to use something in the cloud, there are a lot of apps for this, like Sync Folders Mac App Store - Sync Folders , FolderWatch FolderWatch: Effortlessly Keep Two Folders in Sync | Mac.AppStorm , or you can do it with Automator and rsync.

Migration SAP-System from 32bit-server to 64bit- server

We want to change our SAP SOLMAN EHP1-system , which running
on LINUX SLES9 32bit ( with MAXDB 7.7 ) to a new target server with LINUX SLES10 64bit ( as well MAXDB 7.7 ).
We have also the same OS Linux but differents releases.
My question: Can I perform this change with the tool "homogene
Systemcopy" or is there any other solution for this problem ??

A Solution Manager is a combined ABAP + Java system. You can do a database copy approach but you must use sapinst to migrate the Java part (it's all included in sapinst).
Keep in mind that your JDK changes, for 32bit Linux you must use the Sun JDK, for x86_64 you must use the IBM JDK. The migration may fail on initial attempt since the parameter for the Sun JDK are different to those for the IBM JDK. You'd then have to adapt the parameters using configtool before you can continue.
Apart from that it should be smooth.

Configure SSO Connection from SAP Enterprise Portal to BOE Server

Hi Guys,
We recently installed a BOE Server and want to connect it to our SAP Enterprise Portal. What we need is just to display the Crystal Reports via Enterprise Portal. We have set up the following:
SAP EP with AD Authentication
SAP EP configured with SNC to SAP BI7 system
SAP BOE XI 3.1 - SAP Integration Kit
BOE Server configured with SAP Authentication via SAP BI7 System
We've also set up BOE IK iviews and URL iviews pointing to existing reports in BOE. However, when we access it from EP, it prompts for a username and login to BOE. Is there a way to configure these so that there is no prompt for login to BOE server and SSO is used? Is it also possible to have a service account (e.g. domain/crystal) that will run the reports in BOE everytime a user accesses a report from SAP EP?
Let me know if this is at all possible

Hi,
You should configure InfoView for SSO first, which required infoview.xml file modification, using windows AD default authentication. If you want to utilize the OpenDocument URL for iView then you also need to configure OpenDocument.xml file for SSO also. The SAP portal must have trust relation with the SAP BW server so the Windows AD token can be authenticate with SAP BW server.
If you want crystal user to run all the report then you will lose data security. It can be done by hard coding user name and password in the report properties and database logon but the SSO capability can be accomplished only by windows AD, SAP or LDAP.
For more details check BOXI Admin guide and SAP Integration Guide.
Thanks,
Muhammad

Moving SAP from 1 server to another

Dear All,
We have a BW 3.5 server here. Now we have a server with better hardware and we have to move the BW server to this new server.
All the filesystems for the BW server are on SAN (storage area network)
So i need help to find the right way to move SAP BW from old server to the new one.
I was wondering since all the filesystems are on SAN, So if i install the SAP BW on the new server with the same names and filesystems and then replace the filesystems with the filesystems of old server which are on SAN. Will this work?
If yes, Which filesystems i need to replace. All the oracle and /usr/sap/trans and other too?
Are there any files on OS level too which i will have to update?
Kindly help in this?
Thanks
Tajinder

The "clean" way to do this would be doing a systemcopy

Instead of copying the files you can just present the LUN to the machine.

How to make upgrade from application server and not from central instance?

Hello SAP Gurus!
I have SAP ECC release 6.0, and I´m gonna make upgrade to enhancement package 6.06, do you know if Can I make upgrade from application server, but not from central instance?
Thanks.

Hi Victor,
Upgrade process has to execute from the server where message server is running.
So I guess it is not possible to initiate the SAP upgrade from application server.
