I have a user receiving a CRW32.exe error every time she try's to start Business Objects XI and she cannot even run the application. I have already tried uninstalling / re-installing the product and removing all related registry keys with no success.
FYI - The PC exceeds all system requirements to run it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ravi,
you can download all documents related to bo from help.sap.com. in that select business objects tab-> select all products -> from drop down list box select businessobjects-> based on requirement i.e. which version you want you can get all docs.
If I understand correctly I think you want to create a report form excel. If that is the case then download Desktop Intelligence docs w.r.to our version and start practicing it.

I am a SAS Programmer working in Pharmaceutical Industry of lately developed Interest to learn new Database OALP tools and I thought Business Object would be best for my field.

So any can help me where I can start and what should I start (Something like Start Crystal reports then BO ). Any good books for absolute beginners and if there is Place for tutorials and Place of software download Please.

Server Intelligence Agent won't start after repair of Business Objects 4.0

I migrated our company's business objects contents and documents from previous BO 3.1 server to new BI 4.0 server using standard BI tools. (That is, using the export wizard in BO 3.1 to create BIAR file and using upgrade management tool to import this biar file to new BI 4.0 server).
After that, everything looks fine, I can log in to launch pad and can see all the folders, reports, etc have been moved over.
But Life Cycle Management stopped working. I guess the reason is, when I created the biar file from source 3.1 server, I basically included everything that may include LCM folder as well, and this folder overwrite the LCM folder in BI 4.0 server. In order to fix this issue, I did "repair" of BI platform. After this, the Server Intelligen Agent won't start.
Tried to log on to cmc, got error message
"Error: Server SERVERTest:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null"
Tried to start the Server Intelligence Agent from "services", got message:"windows could not start the server intelligence agent (servertest) from local computer..." Checked the event log, no much useful information.
Can anyone please give me some ideas? what might have caused this issue? where should I look to? I hope we don't have to go through uninstall/reinstall.
thanks.

Hi,
check the Task Manager if you have running the processes running "SIA.exe" ans "cms.exe"

Business objects and start events required for CO11N and CO13 transactions

Hi,
We do production order <b>confirmation</b> and <b>cancellation</b> in CO11N and CO13 respectively. Can somebody please tell me the corresponsing business objects and the start events for them? This is a very urgent issue, I will surely rewad good points.
I guess we need to use AFVC_PM object and "finalconfirmation" event for the confirmation.
Please confirm this and kindly suggest the same for cancellation.
Thanks,
Max

Hi Max,
You will have to use the object BUS2005 - which is for Production order.
If you do not have Required events in the BO, you will have to extend object to add those custom events e.g. Cancellation event.
In this case you wil have to use Status management technique for raising events if standad transaction is not raising them.
Hope following SAP Help link might help you to start off..

Issue With Business Objects Installation-STW00213 The Central Management Server has failed to start.

Hi,
I am in the process of installing Business Objects XI 3.1 in one of our server. While installing I am getting the error 'The Central Management Server has failed to start. Press 'retry' to attempt to start it again or 'cancel' to skip any actions dependendent on the Central Management Server. STW00213.'
I have tried re-installing the BO, and also tried installing without giving admin password. But it doesn't work. And also I ahve tried giving the passwords of database and CMS Admin without Sepcia Characters. But it also doesn't work.
If I cancel and install the BO, Server Intelligence Agent is not available in Central Management Server.
Could anyone help on this issue?
Thanks
Prakadesh

Hi Prakadesh,
Try these steps.
1. Stop and disable the service of current SIA. You can do it from start-->run services.msc. Double click the SIA service and change the status to disable.
2. Login into sqlplus and drop all the CMS tables.
3. Create a new SIA pointing to Oracle from the CCM.
4. Start the new SIA and check if all services come up and you are able to login into Manager servers.
If this does not work, check the event viewer for error messages.

CMS is not started, giving up while Insatlling Business Objects XI 3.0

Hi
I am trying to install Business Objects XI 3.0 in Linux. But it is failing at 55% all the time. I checked the log at that time and it is like
*[info] Return code from cmslogon.jar: 1*

and this is repeating till 210 seconds
I have opted for this steps while installing
1. New enterprise install ( enable severs after installation)
2. Default ports
3. Use existing database(oracle).
4. Use existing Java application server, do not deploy web applications.
Please help with your suggestion.

Hi Tim,
I already try installing with MySql and I can see again these messages in my installation log file.
At the moment SAP Support can not give any advice to resolve this problem, do you have any idea why this can be?? and if somebody know anything about the error message that said "method amibiguos" because i believe there is the problem.
These are the resolution sending by SAP, I already try this but still the same.
Symptom
Segmentation fault during the CMS initialization phase of the install
Core file may be created in the <bobje> directory and install will abort
Gdb output of the core file shows the following:
#0 0xf63cdeee in process_next_block () from <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/libWrapCryptoC.so
Reproducing the Issue
1. Launch installation of XIR3 or XIR3.1 on Linux running on AMD Quad Core Opteran chipset
2. Monitor the installation and notice that at approximately 55% during the install the CMS initialization phase will begin
3. CMS initialization will throw a segmentation fault and the installation will abort
Cause
The issue has been identified as a product defect and tracked under ID ADAPT01258674. The defect is in a 3rd party library which is embedded in Business Objects XI3.1 release.
Resolution
Launch the Business Objects XI3.1 installation on Linux.
Wait for the installer to extract the libWrapCryptoC.so file under <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86 directory. This will happen well before the install reaches 55% completion.
While the install is running, and before the CMS initialization begins, replace the libWrapCryptoC.so under the <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86directory with the modified file (see attached).
Let the install continue and you will see the CMS initialize successfully.
The file is uploaded on the SAP site.
Thanks.

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

Hello,
You can have the fixed width of the colums in excel (No additional spaces in the column) is you use, the seperator between the fields.
For eg : If you are displaying 3 fields in the excel file, say MATNR, WERKS and QUANTITY.
Then you need to
Concatenate matnr
                      werks
                      quantity
into                ls_contents_bin-line
separated by lc_tab.
append ls_contents_bin to lt_contents_bin.
Here lc_tab is the tab seperator to be declared as follows : -
CONSTANTS : lc_tab         TYPE char01     VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
The internal table lt_contents_bin is then passed to the table parameters contents_bin of the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
Thanks.

Rinkesh Doshi
