Upgrade BOE XI 3.0 to 3.1 SP2

Hi there,
I have to upgrade from BOE 3.0 to 3.1 SP2.
Do I have to upgrade to 3.1 w/o first, then upgrading to SP1 and afterwards to SP2 and then to FP2.2?
And that level by level for Enterprise, client tools, Live Office, CR and XC?
Or ist there a short cut somewhere? I think it´s unnecessary to download so much GBs for trash.
Best regards
ARNE WITTE

To get to SP2 level from XI3.0 you have to Install Sp1 first, this will get you to Xi3.1, then install Sp2.
If you want to be on Fp2.2, then last step will be installing Fp2.2.
Same with client tools, they will need to be on Xi3.1 Sp2 Fp 2.2 level as well.
Except CR and Xcelsius - they have their own patch process.
The only shortcut is to install full build of Xi3.1 then Sp2, then Fp2.2

Upgrade to SP3 from sql server 2008 R2 SP2 and SharePoint server 2010 known issues

Hi Guys,
We are planning to upgrade SQL server to SP3 from 2008 R2 SP2 and would like to known if there are any known issues with SharePoint 2010 server and office web apps.
Though I was searching blogs and forums and could not find any noteworthy but wanted to look if any noted SharePoint issues after the upgrade.
VM

Hi Venu,
There should no issue for SharePoint 2010 with install SP3 for SQL2008R2 (also like comments mentioned in article below), I searched from internal and internet, there seems no document/article mentioned the known issue for SharePoint about this, you can
back up your environment and test the SP3 in a test environment before touching the production environment.

Upgrading BOE XI R2 Java Web Applications to use BOE XI 3.1

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can get documentation about how to update Java Web Applications using BOE XI R2 to BOE XI 3.1? I search the documentation online and I couldn't find any.
I believe that it should be a matter of just updating the Java Archve (JAR) files and the helper files in the 'crystalreportviewers' folder. There should not be any changes to how I use the Enterprise SDK, RAS and Viewers SDK. If there are any, there should be very few. I just want to make sure of this.
Thanks,
R.C.

Hi,
Upgrading the Jar files and viewers directory ( crystalreportviewers12) should be sufficient. Please refer to 3.1 Java developer guide for ,pre information.
Thanks

How can I determine what's needed to upgrade boe xi r2 to 3.1 all formats

we're on boe xir2 and want to upgrade to the latest version with all report formats. I was told in the past that our licensing is boe xi r2 for crystal reports format only.

this is what I got from out Maintenance Renewal Account Manager:
I do not sell licenses. I can only renew maintenance on the products that you own. You will have to go to your Sales Rep to purchase additional products.
Any idea how to id our sales rep?

Upgrading BOE EDGE 3.0 to 3.1.

Hi All,
I would like to know if there is a migration tool to migrate from BOBJ EDGE BI 3.0 to BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1.
I know that in BOE enterprise 3.1 has an upgrade version, is there any vserion for BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1.
Thanks
Kind regards
Hai.

Hi All,
Was advised by tech support Australia (erik), to check the following doc:
Upgrading to SAP BusinessObjects Edge Series 3.1
Upgrading from BusinessObjects Edge Series 3.0
This helps resolve this issue.

Upgrading BOE XI R2 into XI 3.1

Dear all,
I have this scenario for upgrading from boe xi r2 to xi 3.1
1. Report just using Desktop Intelligence and about 400 reports
2. there are 4 universe
3. total about 200 users.
4. Using SSO with AD authentification for authorization
There are 2 servers (dev and prd).
I plan using below steps to upgrade (any advice would be useful ^^):
1. First, backup to BIAR file from the boe xi r2 prd servers.
2. Install and upgrade the boe xi r2 in dev server into boe xi 3.1
3. After the boe xi 3.1 is successfully installed in the dev server, this part where i'm still confuse whether using Import Wizard to use the BIAR file in the step one as the source or directly using boe xi r2 CMS as the source (any advice which one is better?) to test whether the report from prd is run and well.
4. Check the data, report and user groups validity after being imported from xi r2 prd server.
5. after all the necessary objects were checked and valid, this step will install and upgrade the boe xi r2 into boe xi 3.1 in the prd server. (need to notify all users about this migration process and the system maybe down meanwhile)
6. after the installation and upgrade is completed in prd server, using the import wizard again to import all the necessary objects from dev server boe xi 3.1 into prd server boe xi 3.1
any help, comment and advice will be useful ^^
Thank you

My responses
1. First, backup to BIAR file from the boe xi r2 prd servers. - ok
2. Install and upgrade the boe xi r2 in dev server into boe xi 3.1 -ok
3. After the boe xi 3.1 is successfully installed in the dev server, this part where i'm still confuse whether using Import Wizard to use the BIAR file in the step one as the source or directly using boe xi r2 CMS as the source (any advice which one is better?) to test whether the report from prd is run and well.
I might be wrong here but my understanding is that XI3.1 schema would be very different. so even when you upgrade your dev server, i am hoping that you will be pointing it to a sperate/new CMS db instance for CMS. Once install is completed you can use import wizard to bring the backup into dev server.
- Please also note that the security features are slightly different in 3.1 so you might need to redefine your security model a bit to take advantage of some new features like access levels etc.
- You would also need to perform the necessary steps to configure SSO
4. Check the data, report and user groups validity after being imported from xi r2 prd server. - ok
5. after all the necessary objects were checked and valid, this step will install and upgrade the boe xi r2 into boe xi 3.1 in the prd server. (need to notify all users about this migration process and the system maybe down meanwhile)
6. after the installation and upgrade is completed in prd server, using the import wizard again to import all the necessary objects from dev server boe xi 3.1 into prd server boe xi 3.1
-- sounds good
any help, comment and advice will be useful ^^

Upgrade BOE Professional to BOE Premium

I'm working with a customer who has BOE Professional installed and needs to upgrade to BOE Premium to take advantage of Dashboard Builder. The version is XI3.1 with SP2. They received a trial key from SAP while they wait for the permanent keys to be issued. When that key is installed there is still no access to Dashboard Builder. Looking in the CMC we see that no AA services are running in the SIA. Is anyone familiar with upgrading from Professional to Premium? What do they need to do to get those AA Services installed and running?
Tom

this is what i did in the past. goto Control Panel --> Add Remove Programs and select Business Objects and click modify.
Then use your temp keys and select Dashboard or Performance Management in the tools. It should install the AA services. You need to configure the database for PM repository.

Upgrade from 2005 and 2008 R2 to 2012 SP2

My project is getting ready to upgrade from SQL Server versions 2005 and 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012.
Is there any known issues that we should look out for?
For SQL Server 2005, we are only running the Database Engine, Full text search and SQL Server Agent.
For SQL Server 2008 R2 we are running Database Engine, Full Text Search, SQL Server Agent, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and Integration Services.
DJ

Hello,
A new full-text search service was introduced on SQL Server 2008, so about upgrading full-text search from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server
2012, please read the following article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142490(v=sql.110).aspx
On the post-installation tasks, please repopulate the full-text catalogs.
To what edition of SQL Server 2012 you are upgrading? Do you know about the core-based Enterprise licensing
Have you run Upgrade Advisor? Please read the following technical article too:

Upgrading solaris iproxy 3.6 sp1 - 3.6 sp2

hi,
the 3.6 sp2 install program does not seem to detect my sp1 install and offer any upgrade option..
what is the best way to upgrade this as i've put in a signifigant amount of config and don't want to have to reinstall?
thanks!

I believe the installer should simply recognize the directory when pointed to it. If this isn't happening then I would recommend a more manual approach:
1) mv the current install to a different name (mv /exp/proxy /exp/proxy_bkp)
2) Install sp2 to the same path as the old install (point the installer to /exp/proxy)
3) cp the appropriate config dirs from the old proxy to the new location (make sure you get the admin dir too)
Start the new proxy, test, etc. Make sure you include the alias dir if you use SSL, etc.

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh
Edited by: Josh Crawford on May 10, 2010 9:46 AM

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

BOE XI 3.1 SP2

Hi,
I have BOE XI 3.1 installed. Planning to install the BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
Does anyone know how/where to check if teh BOE XI 3.1 SP2 is installed in the system?
Thanks.

On Windows you can check your Add/Remove programs section on the server to determine which patches have been applied, or run the softwareInventory tool to tell you the same.
While it is not necessary to upgrade BOE to interact with Xcelsius 2008 SP2, I would highly recommend it as SP2 provides a large number of critical fixes and enhancements that you will surely find beneficial.

Business Objects / BODS Upgrade

Hi Guys.
We have an end to end Business Objects solution implemented in our environment consisting of BODS (XIR3), Business Objects (XIR3) and Crystal Reports (2008). We are planning to upgrade the BODS and Business Objects environments to the latest version but would first like just the BODS to be upgrade as the support for the application has now been ceased by SAP. I believe for the same we would require to use IPS as BOE will still be at the old version and in the latest version BOE and BODS have been integrated.
Please can you suggest any documentation which we can refer for such scenarios and will we be facing any problems once we upgrade BOE in future in integrating it with BODS as that will be dependent on IPS. Any information on the Pros and Cons on using this methodology will be very helpful.
Please let me know if in case any further details are required. Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Cheers,
Shazin

Hi
since there is no really an upgrade package from XI R2 to XI 3.x you have to do a new XI 3.x installaiton and copy afterwards your repository contents from the old to the new system. THis means that the old system is always available for your users. The migration process is officially supported and SAP should provide support for any related issues.
I would recommend to start on both sides with the most actual Service pack and fix pack version. For XI R2 this should be SP6 with FP 6.1 (note: you should have at least SP4 on XI R2 in order to do the migration) and for XI 3.1 this should be SP 2 with FP 2.6.

BOE XI R2 SP3 - Does it work on Windows 2003 Server SP2?

We are using BOE XI R2 SP3 (v. 11.5.9.1076) on Windows 2003 Server (32bit) Service Pack 1. Our company needs to upgrade all Windows 2003 Servers to Service Pack 2.
According to the documentation on the web, BOE XI R2 SP3 is supported on Win 2003 Svr SP1
(http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communitycs/TechnicalPapers/boe_xi_r2_supported_platforms_windows_sp3.pdf)
However, I can't find any information on the BOE XI R2 SP3 version running on Win 2003 Svr SP2.
Could someone please let me know if there is such information (link to web site, etc), or if from own experience, this version of BOE XI works with W2003 SP2?
If this doesn't work, what should we do next? Should we upgrade BOE XI R2 to Service Pack 4, and then upgrade Win 2003 Server to SP2, or upgrade Win 2003 Server to SP2 and then upgrade BOE XI R2 to SP4?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Error while trying to upgrade SQL 2008 (SP2) to SQL 2012: There was a failure to calculate the applicability of setting LICENSEPATH.

Culture ID 3072 (0x0C00) is not a supported culture.
                        Parameter name: culture
This appears to be the root problem. It seems that the regional settings on this machine is messed up. 0x0C00 is an unusual LCID, they do not normally not end in two zeroes.
is there a custom culture installed on this machine?
Review the regional settings and also check the System locale. If it looks spooky, set it to Arabic - U.A.E. if this is where you are located.
