Service Packs and Fix Packs for Business Objects XI Release 2

Hi,
How can I know wich services pack or fix packs are installed on my server? I have installed Business Objects XI Release 2, and Xcelsius 2008 Release 2, and Live Office.
Do you know where can I download a spreedsheet that contains informatiion about the fix packs or service packs and the issues that solved??
Thanks
Lilia

Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

2008 Engage Server Service packs and Fix Packs

I have Engage Server. I tried to load SP 3 and it didn't let me open old files. SAP told me SP3 was not compatible with Server product. I had to roll back to base version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121. Does anybody know if I can at least load SP1 or SP2 (and/or Fix packs) so I can have some of the basic features?

Crystal Reports Service Pack and Fix Pack documentation

I've been maintaining a wiki that documents fixed issues, specifically targeted at the .NET developer. The link to that wiki:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163843498
For now, I'll keep maintaining the wiki, but if it is a duplication of effort and not used, I'll take it down.
Ludek

Umm......thanks for the feedback Ludek. You've obviously taken the time to read the documentation.
My question:
Why doesn't the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document list any issues fixed in FP2.8. The last I heard Jason was asking about this.........
Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?
Thanks,
Peter.

CR2008 service pack and fix pack sequence

I have CR2008 SP0 as a component of Crystal Reports 2008 Visual Advantage. I gather that the CR component of Visual Advantage is the plain vanilla version of CR2008. There seems to be multiple SP's, and hot fixes, available for the different flavors of CR2008. Does anyone know what sequence should I follow for bringing the plain old vanilla flavored version of CR2008 up to date? Thanks....d

Yeah, I have a strange state at the client I'm at where some of the developers are using SP1 and some are using SP0, but no one has the SP1 files so we can update. The sooner I can upgrade everyone the better...any word on when the updated SP1 will be ready?
[Edit] - Got your update above that was posted while I was writing my e-mail...If I had just waited a few more seconds...

Monitoring and Alerting tools for Business Object Data Integrator

Hi,
We have Business Objects DI installed in AIX 5.3 environment. Please advise any type of monitoring and alerting tools for DI.
Monitor tools to monitor Job servers(like job service and web services running properly) and also to monitor long running extraction jobs and alerting the same. Thanks.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Thomas
Though both the tools objectives are for Data integration, the purpose for both tools are different.
SAP BODS/ BOBJ Data Integrator is an ETL tool which involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of the data
SAP PI is a Middleware/EAI tool which have a mechanism/technology that connects different parts of an application or a series of applications
SAP BOBJ Data Integrator
Bulk Data Integration
Extraction Transformation and Loading
Deals of huge volume of data
SAP PI
It is process based integration of application data
It is a middle ware which integrates various project applications into a common programming package that can be operate/access as a single application
SAP NetWeaver PI is SAP’s implementation of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware and facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies.
SAP PI uses SAP NetWeaver Application Server and message servers where in fail over cases the messages can be resent again.
The below differences will gives you more clarity
Verdict is we can use both the tools for data transfer/migration and for choosing the tool depends upon the business requirement
Please reply back if you need more information.

I have installed Xcelsius 2008with SP1 and the FP1.
The problem I have is with all the versions.
If I open Xcelsius and click on File -> Manage Add-ons.., I get the following error message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Xcelsius.exe
The application has requested the RunTime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please Contact the application support team for more information. OK.
Now after I click on OK, the computer completely freezes up and has to be restarted - with a hardware reset. Power Off and Back On.
I have the About screen with Xcelsius Version 5.0.0.99
Build Number 12,1,0,247
This occurs on a HP tablet AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72, Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 times, and still no luck.
The PC is less than a week old, and I am just configuring it and trying to ensure the software is functioning correctly.
During the restart of the PC, after I have requested restart windows normally, I get the message that flashes up sometimes, that states
441/441 / registry (or very similiar - it happens very fast)

How can I confirm that I installed BO XI R2 SP3 and Fix Pack 3.5 correctly?

I installed both SP3 (Client Install) and Fix Pack 3.5 (Client Install) on my workstation. The Installation guide says it should appear in Add/Remove Programs, but I'm not seeing either entry. A log file was created for each install, is there anything within the logs that may say that the install was successful?

Under the Add/Remove programs section in the Control Panel. Select the Business Objects Application and there is a link that reads "Click here for support information"
The opened display box will display a Version such as 11.5.xxxxxx
Reply back w/ the version. SP# and 3.5 fix pack will be something like 11.5.9.1176

CR 2008 and BOE XI 3.1 patches and fix pack?

I'm installing Crystal Reports 2008 and BOE XI 3.1 on windows 2008 server, can anybody tell me which service pack and fix I need to install for each product? When I looked under both product, there are so many of them. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Susan Johnson

I have done much testing over the past several months with BOE 3.1 and different patches. I've yet to find a combination that would allow us to be on a relatively recent patch level but that does not have a significant issue that support cannot resolve. We started with 3.1 and FixPack 1.8. This has actually been the most stable so far. We were planning to convert our production environment from XI r2 to 3.1 in August and thought it would be better to be on a more current patch level so we added SP2 and FixPack 2.6 on the advice of support. Just before beginning yet another round of testing for these additional patches, SP3 was released so we added that too. We then found a significant issue with scheduling Crystal reports that had both dynamic and static parameters. You can't enter the prompts because they don't display the correct LOV. Support advised that this issue was fixed with FixPack 2.7 so we installed it. It does indeed resolve the Crystal schedule issue but the issue returns if you install SP3. SP3 only includes up to FixPack 2.5 and whatever code was fixed in FixPack 2.7 was not rolled into SP3 so I would caution you against using that combination if you have Crystal reports with mixed parameter types and want to schedule them. We then removed SP3 and have most recently tried SP2 with FixPack 2.7. In this version, you cannot schedule Webi reports when going through one of the dashboard analytics (vs. the standard folder navigation). You get a 404 error when you try to populate the prompts. We have about 2,000 users that rely on a dashboard for navigation so needless to say, we can't go live with this issue. I would love to know what the best patch level is for 3.1 but I wouldn't recommend SP2 or SP3.

Difference between service pack and support pack

Hi,

The version details presnt in integration builder -> help-> inforamtion of my XI server are as follows :
Service pack: 09
Release: 645_VAL_REL
does it mean that the both support package and service package for my XI server are 09?
thanks in adavance

1. A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/a21f407b402402e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Service packs in 2004 and 2004s;
in 2004 - in 2004s
SP12 & < - SP04 http://XI 3.0
SP13 + 14 - SP05 http://PI 7.0
SP15 - SP06
SP16 - SP07
SP17 - SP08
SP18 - SP09 and so on...
2) Support pack -

For the ABAP parts of usage type PI, this is the implementation of support packages. For the Java parts, the deployment with the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) is used.
You can find currently available support packages on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
A description of how to apply support packages is available in SAP Note 879289.

Business Service , Service Group and Provider System for CE 7.2

Hi
I need documentation about Business Service , Service Group and Provider System for CE 7.2.
Att,
Marco

Did you get one? I need too.
In SAP Help Portal there are a large quantity of documents, such as:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/88/a552908d4c44dc99b3ec247069921e/frameset.htm
But the content is so much and I do not know with which part I should start.
In the web blog of Ms. Stefanie Bacher:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d70a19-45a3-2b10-bba0-807d819daf46?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
she has mentioned how to create a service group shortly. But I cannot follow it in my NWDS CE7.1.
Anyone could give me some tipps, how to resolve authorization problem of consuming web services.
Thanks and regards

Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved.
But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
... I get the error "cannot display web page".
When I change the URL
ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success...

Hi Gert,
As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".

EWA for Business Objects (XI 3.1) within SAP Solution Manager

Hello!
We use Business Objects (XI 3.1) and would like to get weekly a EWA report within our SAP Solution Manager.
Our SAP Solution Manger has only ABAP stack and it has the SPS version 25.
We also do not use Wily Introscope/Diagnostics and E2E tools within SAP Solution Manager.
Question
Is it possible to set up EWA for Business Objects with our requirements (SOLMAN with ABAP stack and without E2E/Diagnostics tools)?

Hello,
The short answer is no. You can verify this in SAP Note 1507629 - Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager.
"...1.) Managed System Setup
Perform the Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as
described in the "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup
Guide". This guide can be found in the SAP Service Market Place:
-> http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
-> Navigate to the "Media Library"
-> Open the document "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide"
Please ensure that you perform all steps mentioned in the guide which
are relevant for your product and version. Please read also SAP note
1357901, which is also referred to in the above mentioned setup guide."
So this is a requirement. There are also pdf documetns attached to this note that describe how to setup the EWA in Solution Manager. EGI_SBOP_EWA_part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_part2.pdf.
The fact you have no Java stack and have not installed Diagnostics, just means it has not been done. It can be done and then you can do a managed system setup, and the balance of tasks required to prepare the system and Solution manager to generate EWA reports for the BOE system. Its just more work, not a show stopper.

Paul

Trex search for business object in portal

Hi
I would like to build a KM search iView in portal which enables users to search for business object from backend system.
I have built up the indices for business object in the backend system. In portal->trex monitor->display index details, I can see the indices which are created from backend system. But soemhow, I feel the indices are not usable, as I can not see them in the indexing monitor. And after I created an KM search iview with search component 'search_input_indexes', my index created from backend can also not be shown in the preview of the iview.
I guess there is some step missing. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and best regards
Yingzhi

Hi Yingzhi,
with current releases, business objects indexed through the ABAP-based Search Engine Service (SES) or directly from certain SAP solutions to TREX are not by default accessible from KM.
The next release after NW2004s will enable Enterprise Search and provide the meta-search engine for parallel search access to business objects and KM documents.
Please see the following presentation for some explanations on SES and Enterprise Search and note stated time-lines:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/73f3eedf-0501-0010-0aa6-950694c02f99
In some monitors that access TREX directly from the portal, you may see the business object indexes, but they are not actually known to KM.
