Best,
Sathish.
This is great. A step by step story on how to install and configure the BI Suite to complement the dictionary format of the help documentation.
Great stuff! Any idea when this will be available for download, or maybe viewable on a mobile device? I've received feedback from customers already that this is very interesting for them but they'd really like other options for consumption of the information.
Congratulations to the Team putting this together! Great addition to our BI enablement efforts. It should be available for download as well.
Sathish,
This is great content. Thank you for developing and share this content. The field services consultant would find it immensely useful. Great job!!
Any plans to have a PDF and mobile version of this content available too? While the wiki pages are great, it is not as easily accessible specially when you are on the road ( on-site) and need it at your fingertips.
Sathish, great document , just the pdf part is missing
Thanks Sathish,
Great document!!
Will add the link to my default list of usefull links!

Fantastic resource! I was looking for a "book" to download as pdf or buy. I notice that it appears to be all html pages as an online version only. Would it be possible to get a pdf version to download. Thanks for your great effort!
Please make phase 3 - Installing SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 cluster based on SAP HANA.
Now i can't find the way to add second CMS to BI on HANA DB.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Configuring+and+installing+BI+platform+on+server+2
On screen 15 - there is no HANA DB...
How to add second CMS without this...
Hi Mikhail,
If you are using SAP HANA for the CMS database, you must select the default database during installation then export the data to an SAP HANA database. See "To select SAP HANA as a CMS database" in the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform Administrator's Guide.
So in your setup you need to have the cluster being defined before moving the CMS DB into HANA.. If your system is already live, the only option we have at the current time is to make a a temporary CMS database in the default shipped database (SQLAnywhere) and once the installation is finished create a new node against the CMS running on HANA.
Kind Regards
Merlijn

Is it work?
Hi Mikhail,
Yes this will work.. After doing the full installation including the CMS DB on SQLAnywhere you have the ability to remove the created SIA Node via the CCM.. Then if you create a new SIA Node and have this connecting to the CMS database running your current system, the system will be updated with the new services..
It is recommended to have the CMS Cluster name being defined before you add additional nodes to a system.
Kind Regards
Merlijn
Yes, it's worked,
Thanks you a lot!
