How Install Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1, client tools on windows 7?

[Former Member]

I have been working in the following topics

I have installed BOE XI 3.1 SP3 full install

I can access a extern server

I can import a universe, but I can´t see their data, because the tool stops working

I try to make a local univers (eFashion), I configured the odbc succesfully, but I can't work with the universe

Note: The server BOE is BOE XI 3.1 SP2

You should have the same patch level on both your server and client instllations. SO if an upgrade of your BO server to SP3 is not possible the only option you have is to install the BO XI 3.1 (no service pack) version of the client tools and then apply SP2. In this case you have to install the client on Windows XP.

Yes, Client Tools are supposed to be on the same Fix/Patch level as the BI Platform, else you will potentially be exporting regressions to the published content in the Enterprise.

Windows 7 is supported to install desktop applications (not server components) in XI 3.1 SP3 both in 32 or 64 bit mode. You can only utilize this support of desktop applications if you perform a full install with BOE XI 3.1 SP3 software (client tools) instead of an upgrade package.

To install, you need to download (javascript:ms_getObject('https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/bc/bsp/spn/download_basket/download.htm?objid=012002523100007087502010E&userid=S0006543242&action=DL_DIRECT');) the appropriate package (client tools only) and install them on the Windows 7 desktop(s).

Please check: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4079f8f6-2b49-2d10-d790-bc596012d... for more details (login required to SAP support portal)

Hope this helps...

Which tool stops working and which tool are you using to view data? And can you explain a little bit more why you can't use the eFashion universe?

Hi,

I know and used Designer Tool in BO,

When I try to use the standard universe (efashion) with Designer, but it is impossible to look the properties of the each object. The tool has an aspect as "disable" (locked)
