Special Instructions For Oracle Application Servers

Special Instructions for Oracle Application Servers
For Oracle Application Server configurations be sure to perform the following steps after deploying the BOE
XIR2 war files.
1. Locate the opmn.xml, which is typically located in this directory:
<OAS_installdir>/opmn/conf/
2. Edit the opmn.xml file to match this:
Edit tag <data id ="java-options" value=".... -Daja.awt.headless=true
-Djava.library.path=<BO installdir>/bobje/enterprise115/
<OAS_installdir path as specified above in Step 1; dependent on UNIX version>...>
3. Restart the Oracle Application Server XI R2 and Business Objects.
Chapter 9. Configuring Business Objects XI R2 to work

with
Oracle Application Server (OAS)
This chapter discusses the recommended installation with these topics:
• Configuring the Class Path
• Setting the PATH Environment Variable
• Changing the Memory Allocation Pool
• Deploying the WAR Files
• Verifying the OAS Configuration
Configuring the Class Path

To configure the class path:
1. Open a browser window and enter this url:
http://host_name:1810
For login credentials, enter ias_admin for the username, and use the password that was set during the install.
2. Click Start.
3. Click OK.
4. Click on the Administration tab.
5. Click on the link for Global Web Module.
6. Under Properties, click the link for General.
7. Click on the link for Class Paths.
Note
The class path is:
<install location>/bobje/enterprise115/java/application/cewcanative.jar
8. Under Class Paths, click the link Add Another Row.
9. In the path field, enter the path for cewcanative.jar, including the file name cewcanative.jar itself.

10. Scroll down and click Apply.
11. Click Save.
In this example the install location is /u02/BOE_XIR2.
Setting the PATH Environment Variable

To set the PATH environment variable:
1. Click on the Administration tab for the server home.
2. Click on Server Properties.
3. Under Environment Variables, click Add Environment Variable.
4. Enter PATH in the Name field.
5. Enter the absolute path to the platform-specific_processor directory, where valid values are:
AIX
aix_rs6000
Solaris
solaris_sparc
6. Click Apply.
In this example the install location is /u02/BOE_XIR2.

Important
In addition to specifying the PATH as described in the BOE install manual, you must also add the
environmental variable for the library path.
AIX
The library path is is LIBPATH.
Sun Solaris
The library path is is LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You should specify the path as shown below:
<install directory>/bobje/enterprise115/<platform>
where <platform> is:
AIX
aix_rs6000
Sun Solaris
solaris_sparc
Changing the Memory Allocation Pool

To change the memory allocation pool:
1. Scroll down on the General Server Properties page until you see Command Line Options.
2. In the Java Options Field field, enter this value:
-Xms128m -Xmx512m
Note
The BOE guide incorrectly identifies this field as Java Executable.
3. Scroll down and click Apply.
4. Click Yes.
5. Restart Services.
Deploying the WAR Files

On UNIX platforms the preferred method to deploy the war files is from the command line. As described in the
steps below, it is recommend that you create a script for this purpose.
1. Log on the Oracle Application Server system as the owner.
2. Change directory to the location of opmnctl.
3. Create a executable file called boe-install.
4. Insert the following lines into the boe-install file:
./dcmctl deployApplication -co BOE_XIR2 -a InfoView -f
/u02/BOE_XIR2/bobje/enterprise115/java/applications/desktop.war -rc
/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch
./dcmctl deployApplication -co BOE_XIR2 -a Webcompadapter -f
/u02/BOE_XIR2/bobje/enterprise115/java/applications/webcompadapter.war -rc
/businessobjects
./dcmctl deployApplication -co BOE_XIR2 -a Jsfadmin -f
/u02/BOE_XIR2/bobje/enterprise115/java/applications/jsfadmin.war -rc
/jsfadmin
./dcmctl deployApplication -co BOE_XIR2 -a admin -f
/u02/BOE_XIR2/bobje/enterprise115/java/applications/admin.war -rc
/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch
Note
In this example the install location of BOE is /u02/BOE_XIR2. The location on your machine
this will be different. The order of these lines is important. You should not change the order of the
applications install.
The output from a successful run of the script produces the following output:
1
Application: InfoView
Component Name: BOE_XIR2
Component Type: OC4J
Instance: oas101202.sunnode1
1
Application: Webcompadapter
1
Application: Jsfadmin
1
Application: admin
Verifying the OAS Configuration

To verify the OAS configuration:
1. In a Browser enter the url for the desktop launchpad in the browser using this format:
http://[hostname]:[port number]/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch
For example:
http://localhost:7777/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/launchpad.html
2. Enter the url for the administration launchpad in the browser using this format:
http://[hostname]:[port number]/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch
For example:
http://localhost:9080/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch
3. To access the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration Launchpad running on your Java web application
server, enter this url:
http://server01:portnum/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch/launchpad.htm
where server01 is the name of the server, and
where portnum is the port number of the Java web application server.
Below is an example of the Main Administrator Launchpad screen:
Clicking on Central Management Console displays the log on screen, which is not yet configured for use with JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne. As described in the next chapter of this guide, the next step is to run the JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne
to BOE instegrator.
