SAP GUI 7.20 vs Business Objects Enterprise SP3

Hi all,
Does anybody know if BOE XI 3.1 SP3 supports SAP GUI 7.20???? I read the doc and it doesnt says so...but i think it should support it....

Supported means that this was tested when SP3 was released and that if you run into issues using SAP GUI 7.20 combined with BO then you should expect support from SAP.
I believe that SAP GUI 7.20 was released later than BO XI 3.1 SP3 so I assume this is the reason why there is no support statement.
I would recommend to open an OSS message by SAP support (http://service.sap.com/message) and ask if there is a plan to support SAP GUI 7.20. Personally  I count with a supportability statement for the next XI 3.1 serivice pack.
SAP GUI 7.20 may work with the BO products but until SAP officially supports it you are working at your own risk with this configuration.

  • Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 FTP Transfer Problem

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone out there will be familiar with the issue I'm having and be able to provide a solution.
    We are running Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 on our Windows 2003 server.  I've created and scheduled a job on the server that creates an XLS file containing loan portfolio data that is to be transmitted to a third party client on a monthly basis.
    The problem centers around the method of transfer, which is via FTP to a secure site hosted by the client.  When executed through Crystal, the FTP actually does achieve a successful login using the credentials the client provided (we have verified this repeatedly by looking at the logs), but the client's server "kicks out" when we attempt any operation on it.
    A similar result was produced when we attempted to FTP to the site via the Windows command line.  The login was successful, but even a simple command to view the directory "dir" resulted in the connection being rejected.   To make a long story short, after reviewing the issue extensively with the client's technical department, our conclusion was that the problem was the result of the FTP sending in "active" mode instead of "passive".  We confirmed this by installing a freeware FileZilla on the same server, and switching between active and passive modes (active failed, passive did not).
    Their tech people recommended that we contact SAP to get answers to two questions, which I'm hoping someone out there may know:
    1)  How does Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 execute the FTP process?  Is it using its own native logic or simply invoking the command line?
    2)  Is there any setting with the console that would enable us to modify the FTP settings to send force it to send in passive mode?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This is a known limitation. BO only supports active mode for FTP. Refer 1782115 - Which FTP mode is supported as a schedule or publication destination for reference.
    If you are able to write a batch file or a program object to transfer a file from a file location to Client FTP, you can try the below workaround.
    1. Add the script\batch file as a program object in BO. In the script make sure you include the code to delete the instance after it is successfully transmitted through FTP.
    2. Create a File event pointing to the location along with the name of the instance.
    3. Schedule the report to the file location with the specific instance name.
    4. Schedule the program object based on the file event you created in step 2.
    Hope this helps.

  • Business Objects Enterprise - domain user

    As mentioned in blog at /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2 the SNC interface can be used to provide SSO with Business Objects Enterprise.
    The SSO works if the Windows services are started using a domain account, because the SNC session between BO server and SAP server is initiated using these domain credentials. We have found though, after 1 week the users credentials expire (due to ticket lifetime configuration in Active Directory) so BO server needs to be restarted every week. To solve this we are aware that SAP RFC library requires an SNC_MYNAME parameter, and we have put domain credentials on BO server in a key table file. I am wondering if you know how we can configure the SNC_MYNAME parameter in the RFC connection string used by BO software ?

    Ingo,
    I am referring to client side SNC, as described in part 1 of your blog. As you know, a domain account is needed and the Windows services need to be changed to start as this domain account, instead of as system. When this change is made, and the WIndows services are started, they will request a Kerberos TGT from the domain, which has a lifetime associated with it - all domain users tickets have liftetime, determined by a domain policy. The liftetime of a TGT is normally about 8 hours.
    When an RFC request is made by one of the Windows services, and the SNC library is invoked, it will get a service ticket from domain and store in same credentials cache that holds the TGT (inside LSA on Windows). This service ticket will expire at same time as the TGT used to request it.
    If the SNC library gets a Kerberos service ticket, and the TGT has expired, but is still within the Renew Until period (normally 1 week after TGT was issued because of policy configuration) then a new TGT is issued, and the service ticket will be issued with the new TGT.
    So, from above you can see that using SNC with Kerberos, means that the tickets only last for 1 week because of domain policy configuraiton of Kerberos ticket lifetime and because of renew period for tickets issued by AD. The only way that the Kerberos tickets could be used for longer, is if:
    a) The service is restarted, thereby causing it to get a new TGT and the renew until date/time for this new TGT will be 1 week after the TGT was issued.
    b) The TGT could be issued when an RFC call is made, and this TGT cached in a separate memory cache, instead of in MS LSA cache normally used by Windows.
    Our product supports opiton b) but to make it work we need to understand how the BO software constructs the RFC connection string, and we need to add SNC_MYNAME parameter to this string. I can explain how this works in more detail if you like, but all I need is to know where the RFC parameters are stored. For example, is there an saprfc.ini file which we can edit and add the SNC_MYNAME parameter to this file ?

  • Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 / Linux / Oracle / Tomcat Web Server

    Hello Experts,
    I have never done a BOBJ install before and I have some questions:
    First, here is our setup: Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 / Linux / Oracle / Tomcat Web Server
    1.     We are being asked how big u2013 disk space- to make the server. All I can find is 14 GB for an English only install, there is no documentation on how big the databases need to be. Does anyone have any experience and can tell me how big the databases are going to be initially? I need to tell the server team how much space to put on the server.
    2.     The documentation says to have two databases or schemas, one for Central Management Server and one for the Auditing Data Store. My question around this is whether there is a preferred way to do it, separate databases or separate schemas?
    3.     The documentation does not say anything about the file system layout, do we need to create the standard SAP file system layout (i.e. /sapmnt, etc.)
    Many many thanks in advance, any advice would be a greate help .. please help
    Regards,
    Sunil Patel

    Hi,
    here are some answers:
    1. Well for the Installation of the Software as itself (not the databases) i would recommend at least 30 GB. All the Reports are getting stored physically in the installation directory. This behavior is by default. Later you can move the FileStore (where the Reports, Universes, etc. are located in) to a NAS share f.e.
    With Regards to the Databases i would recommend 1 GB for the CMS DB and 5 GB for the Audit DB. It depends on how you Audit your System. If you audit more actions, more information in the Audit DB will be stored.
    2. 2 Schemas on one DB is fine
    3. Usually you run a BOE installation on UNIX/LINUX under an installation user. BOE will be installed into his Home Directory.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • Business Objects Enterprise XI  3.1 Compatability

    Hi,
    We are currently using Business Objects Enterprise XI  3.1 and are migrating to a new server. The new build is running Windwos server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 R2. Will BO be compatible with the new build since we want to install it on the new server and not just point all the ties to the new server.
    Thanks!

    the version you have appear to be XI3.1 RTM, which will not be compatible with Win2012.
    You can see what's compatible with what in the PAM (Platfroms Support guide) here :

  • Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 SP2 costs??

    Hi ,
    I would like to konw the cost of Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 sp2. I want only named user licenses(1 or 2 or 5 licenses only).
    Where can I get the list of products SAP offers and their costs?
    Regards,

    Since you only need a limited number of user licenses I would recommend to take a look at BO Edge 3.1 (SP2 is available also fro BO Edge).
    Only SAP sales can provide you with pricing information. I would recommend to contact your local SAP sales office.

  • Supported Operating Systems for Business Objects Enterprise

    I am unable to locate information on the supported operating systems platforms for Business Objects Enterprise version (11.0.0.1775) build (1775) within the BO support documentation.
    I want to know if this version of BO is supported on AIX (xlC.aix50.rte version 8)?

    Not sure which exact version is 11.0.0.1775, but it's definitively BO XI release 1, so I guess this document is your best guide:

  • Business Objects Enterprise Licensing for Crystal Reports

    I am new to Business Objects & Crystal Reports. I have recently been given the repsonsibility of supporting our BO XI R2 environment. This system is not in production yet, but initial use has shown an inability to create a crystal report.
    If I select Crystal Reports Explorer in Business Objects Enterprise Applications, I get the following error:
    "You do not have the correct keycode installed to use this option. Please contact your support office for further details."
    I informed my boss who provided me with a "Crystal Reports Explorer Windows XI R2 License CPU English" keycode.
    I entered this keycode in the License keys correctly. The license reflects "BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Explorer" but does not show any licenses - just dashes for named users, concurrent users, processors, expires...
    I still get the same error when accessing the Crystal Reports Explorer.
    Am I missing something here? Is there more that I need to do, or is there a problem with the keycode?

    Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
    BI Platform
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
    Thank you for your understanding,

  • Use of MYSQL when installing Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1

    Hello Team,
    I am quite new Business Objects and right now I am using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1.
    when installing BO XI 3.1, I was prompted to select the database server to be created. I chose MySQL.
    Now, I am curious to know the pupose/involvement of a database server for BO. I understand that the database is being managed/used by CMS and it has four main functions:
    Maintains security (users)
    Manages objects (folders, reports, and program objects)
    Manages servers (services)
    Manages auditing (system auditor).
    Is there any better explanation to the database and its purpose?
    what does the database schema/user holds (any database objects,tables,etc..,)?
    Does repository and database schema the same?
    Are all the report objects, users and universe being stored in the database schema?
    Thanks in advance for the reply.
    Regards,
    Kathir

    CMS handles security and routes the request to other services.
    Yes, CMS also maintains the BOE repository.
    CMS is responsible for authenticating users and groups, and keeping track of the availability of the other BusinessObjects Enterprise services. If CMS is down then users wont be able to log into BOE.
    Report Objects, Universe are stored in the Input File Repository and the instances are stored in Output File Repository server.
    In simple words, CMS is like heart of BOE.
