Sap Bo 4.0 Client Tools Installation

Posted on

HI Brian,Thank you for information.After running the script ideally all the folders should be deleted completely. If anything is opened (Example: SQL Anywhere Service, SIA is running etc ) it is unable to delete the folder since the folder is in use.One more important point SIA service you need to delete manually because the service is created by user and can be given anything which I will fix for automation.So perform below steps:. Stop everything related to BI. Run script. Check SAP BusinessObjects folder is delete completely. Delete SIA service. Reboot the server.Now there would not be any issue.One more important thing.

If you are doing a new install I have a good reference for installing the product smoothly. Do check:Regards,Mahak. Mahak, upon running RemoveBI.bat in Admin mode, I see the error that it cannot find the file C:WindowsSystem32CleanupBI.vbs.Therefore I don’t suspect the CleanupBI.vbs script is running.I tried to run the RemoveBI.bat file again to replicate the error, but the bat file won’t execute any longer because part of the system was removed and so the:checkbi4 is terminating the script.Ideas on how to get this to run correctly? Through completion?(If I try to run just the VBScript on its own, I get a message that says:Deleting file C:WindowsInstaller182162I click OKThen a script error occurs, File not foundHowever, C:WindowsInstaller182162 does exist?). Hi Brian,Ideally you should not get that error. If so they simply try to execute the section in the batch file for VBS.The last error:(If I try to run just the VBScript on its own, I get a message that says:Deleting file C:WindowsInstaller182162I click OKThen a script error occurs, File not foundHowever, C:WindowsInstaller182162 does exist?)It is correct actually the VBS is deleting the file and checking it again that it is deleted or not.In case you wanted to complete this section manually do the following:.

Go to WINDOWS. ( For Example: C:Windows). Search for “ Installer” directory and open the directory. If the directory is hidden then Enable Hidden Folder View from the Folder Option in Operating System. In the folder view, right click on the columns at the top and select “Author” to make that column visible. Cilck on the Author column to sort the files by Author.

Delete all the files with “ SAP Business Objects” as Author.Regards,Mahak. Mahak,Thanks for this article.

As Andreas, we are also having same issue. Binaries corrupted, need to re install on the servers in cluster. Based on above notes and discussion, I understand we don’t have to do anything as FRS and CMD DB are on different servers. Please help me to clarify the following1.

Node 1 is running fine. We wont touch it.

Corrupted node is node 2, we will be running the script on it.2. After running script on node 2, we will be installing the target version as in Node 1 ( BI 4.1 Sp6 and then patch 1)3.

While installing, we will select option to add it to the existing cluster, question is. What will happen to node 2 SIA information which is already present in CMS DB?4.

While running the cleanup script, will it remove node related entries in CMSDB?5. Can we run the script on node 2 while node 1 is in use? Or we need to perform this activity during down time?Thanks in advance for your response!Raj. Hi Raja,Node 1 is running fine. We wont touch it. Corrupted node is node 2, we will be running the script on it.2. After running script on node 2, we will be installing the target version as in Node 1 ( BI 4.1 Sp6 and then patch 1) This is Correct.

You just need to install the target pack.3. While installing, we will select option to add it to the existing cluster, question is. What will happen to node 2 SIA information which is already present in CMS DB? When you are installing the product use default database and then install. If you select the existing one it will mess up the environment and you may loss the data if wrong options are selected.4. While running the cleanup script, will it remove node related entries in CMSDB?

Nope that need to done manually or once you will update the the SIA to the current database it will recreate the servers.5. Can we run the script on node 2 while node 1 is in use? Or we need to perform this activity during down time?

Yes, just ensure the Node 2 is completely stopped and run it will clean the product.Also, It will not delete IFRS and OFRS / will not delete anything from the database as they are on another server.Regards,Mahak.
