Where can find the OBServer.Dll

Question

Hi partners, I have this trouble, when I try to connect to SAP, I receive this message “Failed to Extract OBServer.dll from Cab File”, I don’t have this problem in my computer, the problem is when I try to run the program in another computer, I was read about a directory in Windows\Temp, that contains this dll, but I don’t know how can install this in the client computer…
I regard any help about this
Thanks

Hi Karlo,
The OBServer.dll file is stored in the SM_OBS_DLL folder in the user's temp directory. There are a number of causes for this error message (if you've got a S User account then you can search through SAP Notes for this error message).
Here's a few things to try:
1) Try running SBO using an account with full admin rights on the machine. If SBO runs fine under this account then its a Windows user privileges issue.
2) It could be a damaged CAB file. You can correct this by rerunning the upgrader common utility from your current patch to rebuild the CAB file (caution: don't take this step on a production system unless you are sure of what you are doing and have full recovery).
3) Check that your user profile on the workstation has a temp folder defined and there is sufficient disk space.
You can also try deleting the SM_OBS_DLL folder in your temp directory while logged out of SBO as this is rebuilt the next time you try and use the DI API.
Kind Regards,
Owen
