Transferring the Business Objects Server to a another Windows 2003 Domain

Greeting Everyone
I am in the process of moving the BOX1 Server (Windows Member) from one Windows 2003 Domain to another and want to make the movement as smooth as possible.
I am in the process of making a checklist on what needs to be done before and after the movement of the BOX1 Server. With your expertise can you please advise me on the points to be considered on this movement.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Hi Tim
As usual thanks for your prompt response.
I am using BOX1 R1 which is working in an unique way (defy all rules) in my environment. The server is located in Domain ABC and the users are located in domain XYZ. That means user is in one domain and server in another domain. Now we going to place the server in the same domain where the users are.
The answers to your questions are
Is this just the server that is moving? Yes. The server is moving from ABC to XYZ
Is the domain in the same forest as the original? No, They are independent Forests with 1 way trust relationship
Are all the users that login going to keep using the same domain? Yes.
What I am worried is that if I move my server between independent forests then all the SIDs (not sure) of the server will also change to my understanding. Worrying part is that will it hamper the the functionality of the server.
Please also note that FQDN and the IP address will also change.
Please advise and Thanks once again
Venkat VS

Change the User ID running the SunOne Directory Server 6.3 on Windows 2003

Hi Experts,
I have an install of SunOne Directory Server Enterprise edition 6.3 running on Windows 2003 server. It was installed using the Zip distribution and is running as a user ID in the Active Directory the server is part of. We are trying to change the user ID to a service account (not the current ID which belongs to a person), so that the Sun DS can run as a service within Windows 2003 server. Need help in doing this without having to re-install the Directory server. Has anyone done this and is it possible to do?

Thank you very much for the insights and the responses sharmy28.
Appreciate it very much.
All I had to do was change the setting in this file only:
Open the file dsee6/cacao_2/etc/cacao/instances/default/private/cacao.properties and change the below line with new id...
# Define username and groupname for cacao process
process.username=sunadmin
process.groupname=sungroup
As this is Windows 2003 and the installs are all default values, I had to reboot the server for the change to take effect.
The file dsee6/cacao_2/usr/lib/cacao/lib/tools/scripts/globals.cfg does not exist. However the same file exists under the perl directory as globals.pl and the settings you specified are present there. In our case these were commented out and so I left them as is.
Thanks once again for your responses which helped me solve the issue we had.
Thanks.

Report works in Designer client, but not after published to Business Objects server

Has this happened to anyone else? I have a couple of reports that work perfectly on my pc in the Designer client. I can export them to whatever format I need, and they work. When I save them to the Business Objects server, everything appears to be ok. The thumbnail on the properties tab shows the correct report with a page full of data. When I preview and when I schedule the report to run, I get incorrect data. In one case, I get an empty report. In another case, I get data, just wrong data and way too much of it. I've got hundreds of other reports that were developed and published the same way that are working correctly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

There may be couple of reasons. What is your data source? Verify the database in the report and check it again. Or to do more crosschecking, Create a simple report using the same database and deploy in BOE.

Use a dynamic list of email addresses to email a report via Business Objects Server 11

Post Author: wolfgang666
CA Forum: General
I use Business Objects Server version 11 to distribute reports via email but was asked if there was a way to only send the reports to those people listed in the report (which changes daily) instead of the entire distribution list. I can create a list of email addresses as a variable within the report but can't find any way to pass it to the Business Objects server "To:" field located in the destination screen. I would expect to see some option for sending to some value located in the report but alas no such option is evident. This seems like a feature the product should be capable of doing as it is so basic. Any other way to do this that anybody can think of? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Alan,
The simplest thing would be to simply use the Import Wizard to create a BIAR file and then back up the required CR's and instances to the BIAR file. So for instance you would use the "Import Folders and Objects" option. So the source system would be the system you are decomissioning and the Destination would be the BIAR file. Once that is done you can use the BIAR file to import the report content into another system in the future.

Running XI and 6.5 Services on same Business Objects Server

We are currently thinking about migrating to Business Objects XI from 6.5 SP4.
We are running with a 3-tier architecture, with the Business Objects services running on a Windows Server.
Due to the number of users and reports in circulation we would like to do the migration in phases.
Is it possible to run both the XI and 6.5 services on the same Business Objects server at the same time?

That's actually a migration secanario so it should work fine. I had no trouble with 5.2 and 6.0 on the same system.

HELP: Business Objects server flag

Morning,
I was wondering if it is possible to create a flag on the business object server side that will allow scheduled users reports to start (execute) after certain cube loads are complete? Any advice or info are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas ,
yes its called event based scheduling. u create events in CMC to achieve this. Typically after ur loads are done they have to generate a file which sits in a folder in the server. your events in bobj shoould moniter the file creation and then kicks of the schedules. Usually there wud be dedicated event servers for bobj. talk to your admin in these lines.
Thanks,

Cons of installing installing IIS on Business Objects server

Hello Everyone,
Kindly help me with a doubt, how Business Objects server is going to be affected if we will install IIS in it. Cause I have another WCF application and have to host on the same server for which I need IIS to be installed.
Thank you for your time and patience!
Soubhagya Kumar

There is a .NET version of InfoView/BI Launchpad and the CMC that you would have to install after installing IIS. However, they are missing some functionality that your users may want/need - in particular in the Webi application. I know that at a former employer, I had to move off of our initial install on IIS to Tomcat because users couldn't run the Java versions of the Webi viewer and designer, so they couldn't get to some of the more complex analysis tools in their reports.
I did a quick search but was unable to find the specifics on this. Hopefully someone from SAP will check this thread and provide a link to some sort of comparison document. There is a mention that the comparison between the HTML viewer/designer and the Java applet will be published soon (as of last November) here http://scn.sap.com/community/businessobjects-web-intelligence/blog/2012/11/06/webi-influence-council-qa-and-presentation-from-teched-las-vegas.

Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
Error (2606)
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
Recommended Action
To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
I received this error back:
Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server. After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
Here are my server details
VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

Hi there,
How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
Thanks!

Error while generating the Business Object in Mobile Sales

Hi,
I made changes to the Business Object BOCAPGEN.
Now I am trying to generate the business object but it is giving out the error saying
Error intializing RT Generator !.RT Generator Failed for ".Error arsrep.dat is in use so Generation cannot be done
I am not a MSA Developer and have no clue regarding MAS(Mobile Application Studio)
So any one can please give me a clue regarding the issue
I have solved it by closng all other application other than client console
Thanks Guys

Hi !
1 year later, I am facing the same problem.
I want to build MSA 4.0 SP8, everything runs fines until the end of the generation of the Tiles, the next step fails :
Error intializing RT Generator !.RT Generator Failed for ".Error arsrep.dat is in use so Generation cannot be done
Then around 10 thousands of error messages of that kind follow in the output window ; howeverin the end it says "Generation End" without telling whether it was successful or not (the first time the output window was too small, I thought all was OK )
Anyways, the Mobile Sales icon appeared on the desktop and when I try to launch it I get the error "Starting MobileSalesfailed".
During another attempt, I check with "Unlocker" the 2 arsrep.dat files I found under the BOL directory, it reported that none was used and locked at that moment.
Also I killed the vbagen.exe process before starting the build, but it was automatically launched after. (first build was launched after a reboot, the 2nd after the 1st failed + vbagen.exe process killed)
Does anyone have any clue ?
Another question is : what are the rights required ? I am a local administrator but I do not have full admin rights (the only thing I saw at the moment is I cannot access to Add/Delete Programs in the Control Panel)
Thanks & Regards,
François
-edit-
thanks to the one who moved it to the right forum

WAS Inst on the NetWeaver 7.2 platform for the Business Objects XI 4.0 SP1

Hello to all,
I have tried to install the WAS on the NetWeaver 7.2 platform for the Business Objects XI 4.0 SP1.
Ok, more preciselly. I have tried to install SP1 for the Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0. We have had a distributed installation. An application is under the Windows 2k8 R2 platform and the web server (WAS) is under the Unix, where runs the SAP NewWeaver 7.2 CE.
Installation of the SP1 on the application side has ran just fine. Installation of SP1 under Unix went fine as well till I tried to undeploy the previouse one WAS. At first it could not start, it could not find the java, even the wdeployGUI.sh should use its own java, while it happens. I have edited a profile of the appropriate user for using this "own" java. The same I had to do for the pearl. It ran, but It took a very long time - more than two hours. (We have experience from the base installation, that it supposed to be very quick.) So, I have killed three apropriate processes and wav, undeploying ended successfully.
Next, I started to deploy a new WAS. But it has been broken several times with the information (from the <INSTALL PATH>/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/wdeploy/logs/wdeploy.log), It could not reach the server with the error message: "Error occurred during the action deployall", "$". I am sure, the acess datas are correct.
Any ideas?
I thing there is some problem with the java and pearl settings. But I can not find relevant webappdeploy_unix document for the SP1, so I do not know, why the deploying could not start automatically as in the case of the base (non SP) installation.

Hi Randy,
Universe is an important part of the Semantic Layer, whether it is version 3.x or version 4.x of SAP BusinessObjects. In version 4.0 (officially known as BI 4.0), you will be using the new Information Design Tool to build universe. It is highly recommended for all of your presentation tools (i.e. WebI, Crystal, Xcelsius/Dashboard, etc) to go through the new Information Design Tool for data (including BW data).
The BI 4.0 Virtual Launch is scheduled on Feb 23. I suggest you to sign up at http://virtualevents.sap.com/business-analytics/login.aspx.
By the way, the SAP BusinessObjects does not have a version 3.2. The most current one is version 3.1. You might be confused with the FixPack which is now up to 3.4.
Hope this helps.

Unable to Delete the Business Objects Installation folder

Hi,
I am trying to re-install the Business Objects 4.1 SP4 on my Dev Machine. I have un-installed BO4.1 by going to Control Panel>programes & Features>uninstall. After i completed the unistall process i have rebooted my machine and still saw the Business Objects folder in the Installation Drive.
I am trying to delete the folder but unable to do it. it reads 'The Action Cant be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program'. is there any way to get rid of this error and delete the folder to start fresh new installation??

Hi,
To delete the folder you can use rococopy command.
Follow steps
1) Create one dummy folder "xx" on the same level where the already folder exists.let say i want to delete Test folder and folder location is F:/Test and create xx on the same level.
2) Go back one level up like on F:/ drive right click and command prompt.
3) run the command robocopy Test xx /MIR
After that you will be able to delete the folder.
or run one more command to delete the folder from command prompt.
rd/s F:\Test

Service template problem - Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job - ID 2606

Hello,
I’ve finally managed to deploy my first guest cluster with a shared VHDX using a service template.
So, I now want to try and update my service template. However, whenever I try to do anything with it, in the services section, I receive the error:
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job. To find out which job is locking the object, in the jobs view, group by status, and find the running or cancelling job for the object. ID 2606
Well I tried that and there doesn’t seem to be a job locking the object. Both the cluster nodes appear to be up and running, and I can’t see a problem with it at all. I tried running the following query in SQL:
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
but all this gives me is an error that says - conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier msg 8169, level 16, State 2, Line 1
I'm no SQL expert as you can probably tell, but I'd prefer not to deploy another service template in case this issue occurs again.
Can anyone help?

No one else had this?
