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.
Cheers
Hai.

Why can you NOT get a straight forward answer on upgrading to Edge?

On Saturday morning I called customer care with a SIMPLE question about how the Edge Program works. The lady I spoke with gave me information that didn't make sense and told me one of my lines could move to edge and the other could only after 6 months of on-time payments. That didn't make sense to me, how could one be eligible and not the other when the explanation of WHEN would be eligible is contingent upon 6 months payments. I was so irritated I started shopping at other carriers to see what their "Edge" like programs work like and was considering switching carriers. So, I called back and spoke with another guy to find out what my ETF's were and he informed me that I COULD upgrade both lines to a Note 4 for about $5 above what my bill is a mo. each with all of the discounts applied. I told him that I would go to a Verizon store and probably upgrade instead of cancelling. So, I went to the store and was treated TERRIBLY!! I was told that I could not move both of my lines to the edge program with the Note 4. I was told I could move to Edge with both lines but one would have to be a Droid and the other could be whatever phone I wanted. I was blown away with yet another piece of information that was not matching up with what I was told. He said I could call customer care and see if they could do anything. I was BLOWN away that a corporate Verizon store would just turn me away (which was extremely demeaning and embarrassing in front of their other customers) to call customer care again and tell me my best option would be to cancel if I wanted a new phone for the line I wanted to upgrade. So, I called customer care again and spoke with another lady who correctly informed me (I think) of how it works and stated there was nothing she could do on the line that was not eligible which should have been told in the previous conversation with the guy I spoke with. One thing struck me as odd, she said the phone is on a lease with Edge so the phone is never yours, which is something NO ONE mentioned at any point in any prior conversation. So, is that true? I now know where I stand with upgrading but my original questions about how Edge works are still not fully answered and what the last rep stated brings up other questions. If it's "leased" what happens if it's broken or lost? Anyway, I was looking for what I thought was a straight forward answer to a question about how Edge works, how much it costs, and are my lines eligible, etc. and wasted a good hour on the phone and another two driving to a store just to get turned away like as though no one even cared! The last lady I spoke with seemed to care but I'm blown away with the TERRIBLE customer service and COMPLETE lack of ownership. Why can no one take the feedback and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and then answer my questions about the Edge program. Bottom line, I'm not looking for a freebie upgrade (though maybe I should for all of the time wasted due to incorrect/inaccurate information). but I'm blown away that no one wants to do anything.
That all being said, can someone on here explain how Edge works with the discounts and is the phone really a "leased" phone? Pretty sad that I'm resorting to forums to ask other customers how it works but would appreciate any info anyone can share. I'm probably going to port both of my numbers to AT&T if it is true they are a lease and due to all of the terrible customer service.

I just saw in another post that if it's an "early" edge I would have to turn in the phones. No one told me that either and now I wonder if just forget Edge and port out. What's the advantage of doing Edge with all this confusion and red tape? Is an early edge considered early if you're upgrading with Edge prior to the contract end on the current phone? Verizon Customer Care and Stores REALLY NEED to be up front about this stuff! From what I see here and what others are going through Edge is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE program.

Hi,
No problems, but with all due respect - those are the official documentation! You can trust this content - it's published by us @SAP
If you're new the BO server admin, those .pdf Admin guides are your 'reference texts' and will become indispensible.
Also, please search the SDN for articles, as Denis mentionned in the other thread. For example: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/UpgradetoSp2-Testingandbackup+strategy
if you are new to this I would advise caution. Those step by steps (I previously referenced) are absolutely accurate. If you cannot make sense of these, then you may need to work collaboratively with colleagues using the 4-eye principle.
... which is sort of like a human backup strategy

Upgrade from EDGE 3.0 -- EDGE 3.1: What to do with the new SAP transports?

Hello together,
we upgraded our EDGE 3.0 System to EDGE 3.1.
Also we upgraded the SAP integration kit.
Everything seems to work fine.
With the EDGE 3.1 Integration pack there are also new SAP transports included.
Now there are a few questions. Hope someone can help me with this
Do we have to import them?
Can we still use the "old" transports already imported in SAP?
Can we just "override" the "old" transports?
Is there an performance improvement (especially with WebI) with the new transports?
Thanks very much in advance!
With kind regards
Sebastian

Ingo,
If I do a fresh install of BOXI 3.1 Edge SP2...do I have to import the original transports or can I go directly to the SP2 "version" of the transports?
Thanks.

Upgrading from Edge 3.0 to edge 3.1

Hi,
If we consider upgrading from edge 3.0 to 3.1 what are the implications with the data/database?
I am aware that we would have to completely uninstall 3.0 and install 3.1 and I am fine with that concept. However, what I would like to know is:
1. can I simply point the 3.1 application to the 3.0 database and it will work?
2. what happens to the reports which already exist in our 3.0 implementation?
3. what other considerations need to be made?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
I think it should be ok, we only use it for basic presentation of Crystal Reports at present.
I will check out the documentation for the Import Wizard.
We are using a Windows environment and were hoping to take advantage of WACS although I am still not sure it is as secure as Tomcat - that will be a question for another post
Thanks,
David

Upgrade to Edge 4.0

I am currently running Edge 3.1 and we are thinking about upgrading to Edge 4.0. Is that just an upgrade that can use the License keys from my 3.1 installation or do we physically have to purchase new License keys for 4.0.
I can see the files to download from my SAP Service Marketplace so I am thinking (hoping) it is just an upgrade using the same keys.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm thinking in the same direction.
But I have a question to the test version of BO Edge. I've downloaded the files of BO Edge. As I wanted to start the installation I recognized that he wants to install Version 3.1 (stands in popup window).
So I haven't the chance of downloading BO Edge 4.0?
Thanks in advance.

Upgrading to Edge and keeping old phones...

I have 2 phones that are under contract and paid in full, 23 months of the 24 months right now. I'm interested in switching to EDGE, but I learned they want me to give them my phones that are far paid off. Currently, we've paid around 2200$ towards the 900$ in cell phones. I understand you pay more with subsidiaries blah blah. I wasn't asking for a waiver of the contract. I was asking to be allowed to pay off my last month in the contract today and sign up for EDGE and be able to keep the old phones. I assumed there's no way they would say no, I'm willing to pay 170$ immediately and switch to a plan where I pay 50$ more a month...what company would ever say no to this?? Verizon would.
This whole switch was stemmed from getting stopped by a rep from at&t that was giving money to buy out people's contracts with Verizon and they offered a similar plan for new phones. The trouble is, their service isn't as good in the area I live and so I looked into what Verizon was offering currently. I was excited when I noticed the same offerings over here and disappointed when striking out online and in a local store front. We were looking to switch to some water resistant phones before our family trip to the Pacific coastline.
Has anyone ever had any luck with customer support in a similar situation. Again, just looking to pay off my last month now and upgrade to new phones on EDGE without turning in my old phones.

Funny thing about that is people with less than 10 GB of data allowance are only paying $10/month of the line access fee towards "paying off their phone" while people with 10 GB or more of data allowance are paying $25/month of the line access fee towards "paying off their phone".
Verizon must like the people better who have a lower data allowance since a smaller portion of their line access fee is going towards "paying off their phone".
Unfortunately, some of the competitors have the same pricing schedule.

Window 8.1 upgrade and Edge 1.5.0

I am still working with Edge version 1.5 (free software version) and have a serious amount of Animate files which I preview using Chrome. Recently, I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8.1 and now - it would seem - that none of the files will preview in the browser. Loading of the files also seem sluggish. I tried a couple of browsers to check - the usual suspects - but the Edge files v 1.5 will not load and preview.
You can imagine my pain. Ouch ouch! doesn't even cover it. I was just wondering if anybody out there is experienencing a similar problem and can help. I can only think that Edge A version 1.5 files are in conflict with the Windows 8.1 upgrade in some way? If anybody can throw some light on this mucho appreciated amigoes.

Thank you for your kind reply. I have read the blog concerning compatibility issues with ei11 and can see that it may apply to my situation but I not totally convinced. Can you please advise me on my concerns. One solution on offer in the blog is to download Animate CC 2.0.1 and resave (none of my files have been published - I'm not there just yet). I believe my cloud membership will allow me to trial Animate CC so I could resave all my files from a previous1.5.0 version. So my question is this, if I resave my files in Animate CC 2.0.1 will they still open in the previous 1.5 version ? after the trail runs out?
I only ask because at this point I am unable to commit to the paid Animate CC software just yet. If the resaved files will open then I will give it a go as this seems the simplest way to solve the preview in browser issue I am experiencing. Thanks much appriciated.

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?

Vintela SSO with BOE Edge 3.1 - Document

Hi All,
Can anybody help me to find the Document in SAP Notes.
SAP Notes "1328135: How to configure vintela Single Sign-On with BusinessObjects Edge 3.1"
When I searched the 'SAP Notes search' with 1328135 it says 'Document Not release'
Thanks
Ranjit Krishnan.

Unfortunately I think you need to remove Edge and reinstall choosing tomcat. There are other reasons customers are doing this (SAP integration kit compatibility, to get query builder back) and the installer does not allow the adding/removing of tomcat. If not installed on tomcat I'm not aware of any steps that have been created to add it manually. Make sure the backup your FRS and CMS DB if you have any system info/reports/folders/etc to preserve.
EDIT: I've just received an email and apparently Edge SP3 may be out sooner than I expected. Edge 3.1 and SP2 were 7-8 months behind XI 3.1 SP1 and SP2 but I'm reading that SP3 may be out at the end of this month or shortly after. At which point the releases may be synchronized and BOE patches will also work on Edge. I'll wait for Edge SP3 release notes to be certain of this but Good news if it's accurate.

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

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 ^^

I just upgraded to Edge, do I have to send in my old phone?

The line that I signed up for Edge on was ready to upgrade (either new 2-year or Edge). I didn't receive a return slip or bag to send in my old iPhone. Do I have to send it in, or can I keep it?

Great question rmccoy34 and congratulations on the purchase of a new phone. If you were eligible for either a new 2 year upgrade or joining Edge, you will not have to turn in your old phone. You can trade it in http://vz.to/1uNPDOF if you like to receive the value that is assigned for the phone however it does not have to be traded in. You would only need to do so when you are attempting to Edge up to another phone. I certainly hope this helps and again, enjoy your new phone.

IPhone 6 Plus upgrade with edge. help please!

Hi, im looking to upgrade to the iphone 6 plus. i am currently on 2 year agreement and my first year will be 9/21/14. Should i be able to upgrade using the edge program? and do i have to trade in my smartphone that i got with my 2 year contract or can i keep it?

Cameron1722,
That is awesome that you are shopping for upgrade options! You are in a great spot where you can chose to do another 2 year agreement. If you chose this option, you can trade-in your device and get a gift card to use towards your purchase. You can also keep your phone if you would like and you would not process a trade in. You can also use our Edge program as well, if you are eligible. You can check your Edge eligibility online via your My Verizon account. You have quite a few options and all you would need to do is select which one works best for you!
