FAQ

What is the latest release of Data Services 4.0 ? Data Services 4.0 SP2 is being released week of Nov/14

Which BI/IPS version do I need to use for DS 4.0 ? The minimum required BI/IPS version is documented in the PAM/Supported platforms

document. We need BI 4.0 SP2 or higher compatible patches (4.0 SP2 Patch 5 is recommended).

Do I need to install first patch 1, next patch 2, … No, a patch is always cumulative (for IPS/DS/IS), so you only need to install the latest

patch on top of your base install. Do I need to uninstall an SP before installing the next SP ?

This was the case for DS 4.0 SP1, you needed to uninstall the ramp-up version before installing DS 4.0 SP1 which was a full install.

With SP2 we support direct updates now: you can just install DS 4.0 SP2 on top of the previous install. The SP2 will be a full package, you can install either on a blank machine or as an update to an existing install.

What is the correct install order ? Always install IPS/BI first, next DS and finally IS. Patches can be applied independently.

BusinessObjects Information Platform Services

SBOP BI platform services that come with the Information platform services: CMS Adaptive Processing Server (APS) aka Program Job Server (PJS) Adaptive Job Server (AJS) Input File Repository and Output File Repository

Remark: APS and AJS can be stopped and are not required to run Data Services.

APS is only required during installation to deploy the EIM APS AJS would be required when using the metadata integrator

The File Repository is only needed for Cleansing Packages (CP) Information Steward’s Cleansing Package Builder (CPB).


EIM Adaptive Processing Server

EIM products add a dedicated EIM APS shared between DS and IS. Services deployed to this container are: RFC Server

Used for BW loading and reading via Open Hub View Data Service and Metadata Browsing Services

Used by “external” tools (IS, BW, HANA, ...) to leverage Data Services’ connectivity to browse metadata (show tables and columns) and view data

Administrator Service Used for cleaning up the log files and AL_HISTORY based on log retention period

Agenda


Installation Walkthrough

Overview: Before starting the Data Services install, make sure you have a BusinessObjects BI platform

4.0 system available, which can be either: Full BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0 Information platform services (fka mini-BOE)


Installation: Information Platform ServicesGood to Know Before You Start…

No license key will be required to install and run Information platform services InstallIPS.exe will have a license key embedded

Tomcat and MS SQL Server Express (on Windows) or DB2 Community Edition (on Linux and UNIX) are bundled with Information Platform Services and can be used for Data Services

Tomcat is no longer bundled with Data Services mySQL is no longer used as out-of-the-box repository

– Existing customers can install mySQL on their own and migrate database files– Or customers can move to another database and use ATL files to migrate content– ! mySQL 5.1 is not supported as CMS, so only mySQL 5.0 can be shared for CMS & DS

repositories ! In general we recommend using an enterprise databases as repository, but the bundled

database is very well suited for quick tests or POCs


Installation: Information Platform ServicesScreens

Pre-requisite checking


Installation: Information Platform Services Screens

Installation type: Full, Custom, or Web Tier.



Install directory is defined during IPS install; Data Services (Information Steward) will use the same folder when installed on the same machine.



For a full install, instead of a component selection screen there is a wizard-like questions to install bundled database (MS SQL Express) and app server (Tomcat)



For custom install, component selection screen to select/unselect Tomcat and SQL Server Express



Required Platform Services:



Server Intelligence Agent configuration (default port = 6410)



CMS configuration (default port = 6400)



CMS Administrator user account and CMS cluster key (required to add multiple machines in a cluster)



When the packaged database is selected, define users for sa and BusinessObjects users:



For external database, define database type and connection parameters (for CMS and Audit database):



Configure Tomcat Ports






BusinessObjects EnterpriseCentral Configuration Manager

After installation, the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) is used to control the BusinessObjects BI platform services. Some services installed are not needed by Data Services / Information Steward.


Installation: Data ServicesGood to know before you start…

Data Services configuration during install: You can configure one repo during the installation. At the end of the installation, you can login to Designer and Management Console to

create and execute jobs. You can skip configuration and configure later using Repository Manager, Sever Manager,

and the CMC. New license keys will be available, but also existing XI 3.2 license keys will keys work. You need a running CMS in order to deploy the info objects, you only need to do this once if

you are installing multiple job servers in the same environment. On Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, you can only install the client components,

not the server components

Sharing the bundled data bases from IPS/BI

Windows: SQL Server Express Check the dynamic port number for SQL Server created during installation (not default

port number 1433) Use command line tools to create additional databases BOBJ Note 1530972 - How to use a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express database for a

local repository - Data Services 4.0 https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1530972 Linux/UNIX : IBM DB2

Enable OS authentication for the bundled DB2 database with the db2_enable_osauth.sh script

Installation Walkthrough: Data Services



License key screen



Installation directory cannot be changed if SAP BusinessObjects BI is already installed on the same machine:



Language packs selection



Connect to CMS – can be skipped




















Agenda


Set Up User Management in CMS

This part is completely new in Data Services 4.0 and will be covered in the Administration presentation in detail.

Define Users and Groups

Add repositories and assign to

users/groups

Define authentication method and password

policies

Define application settings and

permissions for Management Console

(customize default groups)


Create repositories with Repository Manager

After installation, you can configure additional repositories with the repository manager


Server Configuration with server manager / svrcfg

After installation, you can configure the server via the Server Configuration tool New UI: re-arranged the controls on tabs As before, repositories are being added to the job server New tabs for SSL configuration and NCS (Solution Management Monitoring)
