What Software do I need???

Hi folks,
I'm new to BO so to start from scratch I'm trying to figure out what desktop Software I have to put on my workstation to unleash the full power of BO, work with our BO server and get the SAP Best Practice for BI up and running. I downloaded the following stuff from service.sap.com:
- Xcelsius 2008
- Crystal Reports 2008
- BO XI 3.1 Edge
I kind figured these would be the most recent releases.
I first installed Xcelsius, then Crystal Reports. When installing BO XI 3.1 it gave me an error that it can't be installed with Crystal Reports already there. So I uninstalled Crystal Reports 2008 and installed BO XI 3.1 . The SAP Best Practice BI scenario comes with a lot of .rpt files which are Crystal Report Project files as of my knowledge. But I can't install Crystal Reports anymore. I guess because of BO XI 3.1
So I wonder what software I actually need. I haven't found any source that clearly states what applications to install for what reason and in what version. It would be really great if someone could bring some light into this!

Hi Robert,
You can install a Virtual station software like VMWare and stuff like that.
After installing VMWare please allocate some space for this and then install the OS with that then you can install the Crystal reports.
Where you can use the Crystal reports and BO at the same machine.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Ravi Kanth

    What software do i need to install in order to be able
    to play movies in .avi format.

    files are in .avi format.
    Ansver i get : does not support

    VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
    There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
    Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
    VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

  • What software do I need to manage my itunes on my HP laptop

    What software do I need on my HP laptop to be able to go into itunes and manage my phone, as far as pictures, and calendar, and such?

    To start off with, you will need to download iTunes. Make sure that you download the correct version, Windows, and if you have 32-bit or 64-bit. Pictures taken with the iPhone are imported to the computer via Scanner and Camera Wizard in Windows, or can also be copied via Windows Explorer in Computer. Photos are then synced to the computer via iTunes by selecting a folder on the computer that contains photos and they are copied to the computer.
    Calendar has to be handled by a supported application. That can be Outlook 2003 or 2007. Other choices include using Google calendar, MobileMe,etc. The latter allow for OTA syncing of calendar. Contacts require a supported application as well, those include Outlook 2003 or 2007, or Windows Address book in Vista, or Windows Mail in Windows 7. You also have the option as above for Google or MobileMe.
    Information about what you might want to use is found on the Apple website and descibes the supported applications.

  • HT1338 What software do i need to download for my new HP Photosmart 5510 ePrinter to work on my new iMac

    I have just bought a new HP Photosmart ePrint printer. I could not download the software on to my new iMac. What software do i need to down load from HP to make my printer compatible with iMac.

    With reference to this article from Apple that lists the models of printer drivers available from Apple for Lion and Snow Leopard, there are a couple of HP Photosmart 55xx printer drivers in the list. So if all was well with your  iMac then the driver should be downloaded and installed when you connect to the printer. With this not happening you can try installing this HP Driver update. It contains all the HP models in that driver list - that's why its over 500MB - and it may be just what you need to get this printer connected.

  • What software do I need to purchase/subscribe?

    I'm planning to do the $143.88 subscription for PLUS on FormsCentral.  I will be creating probably no more than 15 forms per year.  I will need to create forms, maintain them, do reports and gather data on membership information, registration of events/conferences and simple surveys.  What software do I need to purchasein addition to my yearly subscription on FormsCentral? Adobe Acrobat X? Adobe FormsCentral?  I'm not getting a clear picture on what is necessary as I read through the site.  I may need to have access to maintain the forms on both my laptop and my desktop.
    Thanks,

    Hi Mike;
    You don't need anything in addition to the subscription to FormsCentral.  If you want to distribute your forms as PDF as well as (or instead of) on the web you might want Adobe Acrobat XI so you can further edit the PDFs, but that is not necessary and is really up to your needs.
    If you were to consider Acrobat you should look at this subscription "Acrobat Plus" which gives you Adobe Acrobat XI on a subscription basis plus some great online services including FormsCentral: https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    When you use FormsCentral in a web browser you can access it from any computer or laptop and have access to all the same data, one of the great things about a SAAS (software as a service).  The one exception to that is in the Acrobat Plus subscription you get the desktop application of Acrobat to install which would only work on two computers, the included services would be available from any computer.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • What software do I need to install to play some games MacBook Pro Mid 2014

    Hello, what software do I need to install to play some games - MacBook Pro Mid 2014. Games like : Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Boarderlands 2, FarCry series, Crysis, etc.

    Assassin’s creed II and Borderlands 2 are in the Mac App Store.
    The other’s don’t appear to be ported to OS X. You’d have to install Windows in one of the various ways, Bootcamp (native boot) or Virtualization (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox). Games under Virtualization probably don’t run well.

  • What software do I need to run executables files

    Hi
    I have application where I acquire data from sensors using stain gauge and thermocouple modules with 6225M DAQ card. Also I am writing some data that i get from a joy stick to a serial port in the same application. In order to run executable file of this application what software do I need?  I installed labview runtime engine in the target machine but it didn't run my program. Do I need to install any drivers for the DAQ card?  i am using labview 8.6.

    Of course you need to install the DAQmx driver. If you have LabVIEW 8.x, when you create the installer, you have the option to install different versions of the driver ranging from a full install to a minimal one. If you have tasks saved in MAX, you would want to install MAX and export your current config. Then select to have the installer import the config on the pc with the exe.

  • What Software Do I need to add Chapter Markers

    I've got a 55 min QuickTime movie file that I'd like to simply add Chapter Makers as well as setup a Chapter Menu selection at that beginning.
    Also, I'd like to be able to render this file to a format that will playback on any DVD player.
    To be able to edit/sweeten the audio and/or video is not a priority....I'd just need to add chapters so to divide up this one-long-movie into...well...chapters.
    What software do I need that will do this?
    Thanks.
    Mac 17" MacBook Pro
    Mac OSX 10.4.10
    Processor: 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

    You can add chapter markers using Quicktime Pro if you don't need to edit the movie.
    You can find detailed instructions in the Apple document Chapter Tracks.
    These instructions teach how to add a chapter track, containing your chapter titles and timecodes, to an existing quicktime movie without using iMovie or FCE or other editing software. No codec, compression, or conversion is applied to your video and audio, which are left alone. Only a new text track with adequate formatting is added.
    A few additional notes:
    - you need Quicktime Pro (30$)
    - you must correct a couple of points in the Apple instructions:
    a. in step 3. you have first to +enable the text track+ in the Property Window of the movie, and then you can use the Text to Text option in the Export Menu (otherwise no Text to Text option is made available).
    b. step 10 must be corrected as follow: +"Open Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, choose the *Video Track* ( not: new text track). Choose Other Settings then choose your Text track in the Chapters popup"+

  • What software do I need to create this animation?

    Please watch the first 60 seconds of this video.  I want to create videos pretty much exactly like this fellow is doing. 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYvmjdqpT7Y
    What software do I need to create those multi-layered still-image animations?  I assume it's the same software that also does the animated text.
    Anyone know what he's using to get those still images to animate under and over each other?
    -JOHN

    Thank you for the replies.  I read up a bit on the software you all recommended.  The consensus seems to be that Motion is easier and more Mac-integrated than AfterEffects.  So, if I follow your advice, it's between Motion and Photoshop.  Photoshop seems to have a steep learning curve compared to Motion (I'm guessing) and Motion is also cheap at $49.
    So all those floating images ... one image zooming in over another that stays stable ... pop up text ... all that can be done in Motion, right?
    I ask again because the Apple promo page for Motion doesn't really give me an indication of it doing this, but I also understand this is creative software and it can do a lot of things that can't be individually intemized in a promo page.
    If I can get those moving graphics, I'm sold.
    Thanks for the lead.
