Problem Installing Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 on AIX 5.3

Hi,
We installed Business Objects XI 3.1 first on AIX 5.3 and everything worked fine.
Once we apply BO XI 3.1 SP2 patch (by running the install.sh script from the
BO XI 3.1 SP2 install bits) onto the Business Objects XI 3.1instance, the following error
[error] Errcode 1: gzip -dc "/apps/truecomp/boXI31-temp/xi31_sp2/pkg/jdk00000.tar.gz" | /bin/tar xvfb - 1
during the installation ( when we checked, the package "jdk00000.tar.gz" contained mostly some libraries
that are already existing under the installed java/bin directory, the error is likely due to tar command can't
overwrite the existing files there), and it seems that the library files in "jdk00000.tar.gz" package are same as
the existing files under java/bin directory. So this error may not matter (just our guess).
The real problem for us after installing BO XI 3.1 SP2 is that, the tomcat log (file name "catalina.out") throws
the following exception and tomcat can't start up, so we can't log onto CMC anymore. Anyone know if this is
a known issue or any solution or workaround? The frustrating thing is that, SP2 can't be uninstalled (
it likely thinks SP2 was not installed successfully), and this whole BO XI 3.1 instance is not usable anymore,
we have to remove the whole thing altogether (no way to remove just SP2 part).

Just want to add to the original question that:
the directory (in the error stack from tomcat)
/apps/truecomp/BOXI31/bobje/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost is NOT even existing on the
AIX server which installed BO XI 3.1 SP2.
Would really appreciate any comments on this problem, especially from SAP support team.
We are really stuck here.
Thanks.

Install Business Objects XI R2 on Windows Server 2008

Hi,
I want to install Business Objects on Windows Server 2008 using IIS7 however i cannot select the IIS ASP.Net option when I get to the "Choose Web Component Adapter Type" screen.

Ok,
After not having much like with installing on IIS7.0 i opted to do an install with the TomCat Server.
This was also not successful, It seems that TomCat relies on a service called NTLMSSP
this has been removed in both Vista and Server 2008.. (I guess this is why ive been having so many issues!)...
After doing some reading on the above mentioned service it is quite possible that IIS 7 could also be using it.
Thanks for all your responses, but i guess this is a definate thing now (just in case some one else comes looking for this information)

Installing Business Objects XI R2 on the same server (LPAR) multiple times

Greetings!
My goal is to create "multiple" Business Objects XI R2 instances on a single AIX LPAR, so that I might have up to 8 Business Objects environments. Each environment would be be used to promote reports through test and eventually production. Yes, I know 8 environments is a lot, they won't necessarily be running simultaneiously. We do want 8 environments, with 8 CMS databases all separated.
I belive there are two possibilities:
1. I can create 8 separate Business Objects installs, each in their own separate directory structure, each install owned by a different user. Each installation would use a separate set of ports statically bound to each service that needs to be accessed over a firewall (like CMS, inputFRS, outputFRS,...).
2. Run a single installation of Business Objects and keep sepaarate CMS databases and repositories. I doubt this would work as I've only been able to find configurations for clustering, in which all CMS servers use the SAME CMS database. Is this option even possible?
Does anybody have any similar experiences using AIX? I have already attempted getting a second install running (option #1) but so far I've not been able to keep the second environement's CMS server running using statically-bound ports. They will, however, run simultaneously on the second install without statically binding the ports.
Server details:
IBM AIX 5.3 TL-08
Business Objects XI R2 SP4
CMS database - IBM DB2 9.1.4
Reporting database - IBM InfoSphere 9.5
Server separated by clients via firewall
Users will access Infoview, some access w/Crystal Reports XI
Thanks for your consideration,
Sean Boone

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I've gotten the two environments running but the CMC from one environment is trying to control the CMC from the other. For example, I have added the two installations to a single machine and set them up as follows:
boadmin - userid of "first" environment
boadminf - userid of "second" environment
CMS #1: boenv:6400
Tomcat ports: 8080, 8443, 8005 (std)
CMS #2: boenv:5500
Tomcat ports: 5905, 1720, 1731
So when I login to the CMC on CMS #1 and check "Settings" I see the database alias that I expect. When I logout and then login to the second CMS I see the same CMS database alias. In other words, they are both using the same database. However when I run the "cmsdbsetup.sh" command, it shows the correct alias for each environment.
My only thought at this point might be that since the daemons were given default names I'm going to see the same "service names" even though they are controlled via a separate name server.
Any clues as to what might be the cause here?
Thanks again!

Unable to login to cmc after installing business objects xi 3.0

Hi Friends,
I'm new to Business Objects, i've installed bussiness objects XI 3.0 and i did not specify the user name and password during installation (since there was a checkbox option to configure it later after installation). Now i've troble logging in. I tried to login using Administrator as username and no password, its neither logging in nor giving me an error message but asking me to provide login details, whereas i could login with the same administrator as username into Business View Manager and Diagnostic Tools. Please help.
thanks.

Change your URL to the IP address of the server or FQDN.
Also try to disable windows enhanced security if using 2003.
Most common causes of this are DNS issues or session problems with the browser (bothh may be resolved with the steps above).

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.

Can we install Business Objects Data Services XI 3.2 with BOE 3.1 SP2

Hi,
I want to install SAP Data Services XI 3.2 and BW 7.1 and BOE 3.1 SP2 are already in place. I want to know befor installation of Data Services that it is compatible with BOE 3.1 SP2. The documentation for Data services tell only about the compatibility of BW and not about BOE. If anybody has installed Data Services XI 3.2 with BOE 3.1 or knows about version compatibility, please shed some light.

Yes,
I have tried install BOE 3.1 SP2 and DS 3.2 SP2 together on 1 machine Windows 2003 64 bit before.
They works fine together.
Just make sure you deploy Tomcat correctly for DS Management Console.
Hope this helps,

Business Objects Explorer XI R3.1 SP1 (Polestar) installer does not start

I am trying to install Business Objects Explorer XI R3.1 SP1 on Business Objects Edge Professional 3.1 on Win2k8 Server, but the installer dialog box disappears once I click "next" on "Configure Web Application Server" dialog box.
Note: When I use "disappear" above, I mean the "setup.exe" disappears from task manager. Also, the installation dialog box disappears from the screen.
I followed the same steps on Business Objects Edge Standard 3.1 and everything ran fine. I also tried to reproduce the issue on Business Objects Enterprise Premium, but it ran fine. All these installations were done on 64 bit win2k8 server.
Any help or tip on this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi there,
I extracted the files to a different drive and ran the installer from there. It eventually ran fine. I still don't know why it couldn't run from the same drive.
I tried running it from the command line as well, but it failed from there. I raised it to SAP as well which they haven't yet responded to.
Thanks,
Gaurav
