To create the BO Objects like UDT/IDT etc.. we need to install the BI Client tools (SAP BO BI Platform) in

client machine first . Well in majority of companies all these installation process might be done by either a

Basis/BO admin, but in few firms you will need to do this on your own.

The Main purpose of this blog is for those who need to do it themselves and not familiar with the Basis/Admin.

Hope this document saves their time and help them.

Download & Installing the Client Tools To Download the Business Objects BI Platform Client tools , Logon to SAP Market Place and then follow

he below screen (Highlighted)

PS Note: You must have Administrative rights to download these from the Market Place.

Now Click on the SBOP EDGE BI, you will see the below screen, Select the Version which you want to install.

PS Note: The version which you are installing in your Client Machine should be according to the version

installed in the Server.

Scroll Down to select the SBOP BI PLATFROM for the service pack according to your server, scroll down and

select the file (you should also check for Windows 32B/64B).

Now select your file (tick mark the check box) and then click ADD to Download Basket

PS Note: You have to download the “SAP Download Manager” first, if you don’t have it installed on your

machine, system will prompt you to download it, once you install the Download manager, you can see the

above File (SBOP BI Platform) in your machine like below.

Now select the desired file and click on Start (Download) button. This will install the BO Client tools in your

machine.

Configuration

After the successful installation of t he Client tools, now you need to make sure server can be called from the

client machine (your lap/desk).

For this you need to do a setting in the Client machine.

Here are the steps:

1) Go to Start --> Run --> Drivers

2) Go to --> ETC -->double clic k -->Hosts-->Right Click-->Edit with Notepad++

You must have authorization to EDIT the system file, if you don’t have you can check with your admin/ you can

change it like below (by giving full access right to your system id).

http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324362/9.jpghttp://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324363/10.jpghttp://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324365/12.jpghttp://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324364/11.jpg

Now, you need to add the BO Server IP address and System Name to the Hosts file, you can get that

information from below

Central Management Console (CMC) URL to logon

CMC Link: http://:8080/BOE/CMC

BI Launch pad will be: http://:8080/BOE/BI (BI should be in caps)

Go to CMC --> Click on sessions (see the below pic)

You copy the system name from here (XXXXXXXX.XXXXX.local:6400 ) and enter them in the below host

file

Ex: 102.54.94.97 XXXXXXX.XXXXX.local .com

Save and close.

Now you can work on Client tools without any issues, Let’s logon to Universe Designer Tool (UDT), to check

http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324366/13.jpghttp://%20%3Cip%20address/Hostname%3e:8080/BOE/BIhttp://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324367/14.jpghttp://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-96996-324368/15.jpghttp://%3Cip%20address/Hostname%3e:8080/BOE/CMC

UDT Logon

The system name will be blank by default, Here you can copy the system name as

XXXXXXXX.XXXX.local:6400 , (which you copied this information from CMC as show in the pic above)

That it you can now work on UDT, assuming you have had created the OLAP connection in CMC already, if

not, you can create and continue working.

Hope this help.
