First step is to check if installed OS and your DB  are compatible with BODS.

(Refer to BODS 3.2 Supported Platforms. PDF)

If using old OS, then uninstall BODI and install BODS.

If new OS has been installed, then directly install BODS.

Steps to setup BODS on existing server

  1. Install BODS
  2. Upgrade/configure all the repositories after taking sufficient backups.
  3. Modify  the datastore connections (applicable only if new database server has been installed).
  4. Add job servers.
  5. Add repositories to the Management Console.
  6. Add Users
  7. Create ODBC connections (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
  8. Create folder structure (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
  9. Sybase Client installation and configuration (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
  10. Oracle Client installation and configuration (applicable only if new OS has been installed).

     

Step 1: Installation of BODS

Refer to Installation Guide Data Services 3.2.pdf

Directory Selection

Local Repository Selection

Use Tomcat server with default settings as Web Application Server.

Step 2: Upgrade/configure Repository

Go to Start–> All Programs — >SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.2–>SAP BusinessObjects Data Services–>Data Services Repository Manager

Follow below steps:

i)                    Select Local Repository.

ii)                  Database server name

iii)                Give Repository name.

iv)                Give credentials

v)                  Get Version

vi)                Upgrade Repository.

NOTE:  Take repository DB backup first and for worst case take backup of JOBs also in atl file.

Step 3: Modify the Datastores settings.

Step 4: Add Job servers

  1. Go to Start–> All Programs — >SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.2–>SAP BusinessObjects Data Services–> Data Services Server Management
  2. Specify Cache as existing path i.e. D:\Log\Cache
  3. Select “Edit Job server config -> Add”. Check default repository option for all.
  4. Restart after adding all the job servers.

     

(Note: Keep the screen shot of details of existing job servers)

Step 5: Add Repositories to Management Console

  1. Go to Start–> All Programs — >SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.2–>SAP BusinessObjects Data Services–> Data Services Management Console

   

  1. Use default login credentials.

User Id – admin

Password – admin

  1. Go to Management-> Repositories -> Add.

(Note: Keep a screen shot of existing repositories from console.)

Step 6: Add Users

  1. Go to Start–> All Programs — >SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.2–>SAP BusinessObjects Data Services–> Data Services Management Console
  1. Go to Management-> Users-> Add.

(Note: Keep the screen shot of details of existing users)

Step 7: Create ODBC connections

This step is applicable only if new OS has been installed.

Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.

(Note: Keep the screen shot of details of existing ODBC connections)

Step 8: Create folder structure for input files

This step is applicable only if new OS has been installed.

Step 9: Sybase Client installation and configuration

This step is applicable only if new OS has been installed.

Install Sybase Client. After installation check if it configured. If not, then follow below steps.

  1. Go to Start-> All Programs -> Sybase ->Connectivity->Open Client Directory Service Editor.
  2. Server Objects -> Add.

      Hi

      there are two ways

      1. import your stored procedure from the datastore and you will see it in function wizard. you can call this function like any other BODS function

      2. you can use it it script also

      Datastorename.ownername.procedurename(parameters);

      Its good to use print command before and after executing procedure to keep track

    Hi,

    Our DI job is throwing some oracle exceptions like unique integrity contraint error & not null constraints error.  We would like to log those errors into an another Oracle Target table with the oracle error details and the source record details.

    Can anyone please help in this.
