This article is relevant if you are looking for adding Local repository  with SAP Data Services Job server on Linux Box..


This article is written using SAP Services XI 4.1 SP02.

This article covers the step by step instructions(with screens wherever its possible) to add SAP Data Services Local Repository with SAP Data Services Job Server using Server Manager Utility on Linux.

This is more useful for those who are doing this first time on LINUX and they are familiar with windows OS.

Following are the commands that needs to be performed at LINUX command prompt.

$ cd $LINK_DIR/bin

$ . ./al_env.sh

$ ./svrcfg

Select Option 2 and then Select "a" for "Adding a REPO to Job server"  then select the "Serial number of the Jobserver" which you like to process Jobs of the Local Repository, then finally select the Local repository specific details like User name, password, Database name, Host name etc. and confirm you details.

Pls see the following step by step instructions to add Data services Local repository with Data Services Job Server on Linux.

Login Via Putty,

Input :- Provide hostname and Hit Enter. Provide your credential so that you can access Linux.

Once you are logged in. navigate as instructed in following steps.

Go to Installation directory of Data Services on Linux box. Generally referred as %LINK_DIR% in all SAP documents

IF you logged in with named user, then check where you are, user PWD command on Linux prompt once you successfully login to server.

$ cd $LINK_DIR/bin/

%LINK_DIR% = /usr/sap/<SID>/businessobjects/dataservices


$ cd /usr/sap/FDM/businessobjects/dataservices/bin


$. ./al_env.sh


$ ./svrcfg


Unable to load DLL or shared library <libds_crypto.so>. Please make sure the library is installed and located correctly.



If you see the above error then you do not have permission to perform the Operation. There are two options as going forward.

Either you request for the permissions on your user id or you can get the user which has the permissions already.

So switch user will help you to do that. However, getting sudo access on your user id is the recommended way.

Generally SAPDS<SID> is the OS user have the permissions.

use su - username to swtich the user and provide the password.

So I switched the User and performed the same tasks. please see the screen.


-bash-4.1$ cd /usr/sap/FDM/businessobjects/dataservices/bin
-bash-4.1$ . ./al_env.sh
-bash-4.1$ ./svrcfg
