Installing BusinessObjects Data Services 4.0 on AIX

Summary

This post describes installation of BusinessObjects Data Services 4.0 in test environment.
SAP BusinessObjects Information Platform Services 4.0 (IPS) is required component to install BODS.

Official product names (as on SAP support website):
(SBOP INFORMATION PLAT SVCS 4.0) - SAP BusinessObjects Information Platform Services 4.0
(SBOP DATA SERVICES 4.0) - SAP BusinessObjects Data Services 4.0 (14.0.1)
(SBOP DS DESIGNER 4.0) - SBOP Data Services Designer for 4.0

Environment

OS: UNIX AIX 6.1 TL6 SP2
Database: Oracle 11.2.0.3
SBOP Data Services 4.0 SP02 Patch3

All BODS components and Oracle database are on the same host.
BO and Oracle installations are owned by different UNIX users.

Prerequisites

Authorise user (pocadm) to use UNIX cron.
Verify that all ports to be used by BO are available.
For more details use BODS Installation Guide for UNIX (sbo401_ds_install_unix_en.pdf).

Locale requirements problems

Set variables according to documentation:
export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

pocadm@host01:/deve/TEST01/POC/software/IPS$./setup.sh
The UTF-8 locale is not recognized by Perl. Please set a valid UTF-8 locale in $LC_ALL.
Please consult setlocale(3) for the list of available locales on your system.
If that fails, please try the following commands:
    locale -a
    nlsinfo
    ls /usr/lib/nls/loc
    ls /usr/lib/locale
    ls /usr/lib/nls
    ls /usr/share/locale

pocadm@host01:/deve/TEST01/POC/software/IPS$locale -a
C
POSIX
de_DE.8859-15@euro
de_DE.8859-15@preeuro
de_DE.8859-15
de_DE.IBM-1252@euro
de_DE.IBM-1252@preeuro
de_DE.IBM-1252
de_DE.ISO8859-1
de_DE
en_US.8859-15
en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US

The current AIX 6.1 TL6 SP2 does not have locale UTF-8
There is no bos.loc.com.utf on the lpp_source_6162_bund that was supplied for AIX 6.1 TL6 SP2

If LC_ALL is set to non UTF-8 existing locale, e.g. LC_ALL=en_US, setup.sh returns:
Non-UTF-8 locale is detected in LC_ALL.

Locale requirements solution

Only bos.loc.com.utf for AIX 6.1 TL4 is found.
EN_US.UTF-8 for AIX 6.1 TL4 was installed on host01 (AIX 6.1 TL6)

locale -a
C
POSIX
EN_US.UTF-8

de_DE.IBM-1252
de_DE.ISO8859-1
de_DE
en_US.8859-15
en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US

Use the following variables. They are different from SAP documentation (UTF-8 instead of utf8).
They are case sensitive and have to match “locale -a”
export LANG=EN_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=EN_US.UTF-8

Configuring Oracle database

Oracle database for BO repositories must have character set UTF-8
Create new tablespace SAP_BO.
Create Oracle user for Central Management Server (CMS) repository.
CREATE USER "BO_CMS" PROFILE "DEFAULT" IDENTIFIED BY "BO_CMS" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "SAP_BO" TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON "SAP_BO" ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO "BO_CMS";
GRANT "CONNECT" TO "BO_CMS";
GRANT "RESOURCE" TO "BO_CMS";

Configuring Oracle Client

For BO owner (pocadm) add $ORACLE_HOME to .profile and $ORACLE_HOME/bin into $PATH
Add $ORACLE_HOME/lib into $LIBPATH
export LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

Configure tnsnames.ora. Test sqlplus connection from UNIX user (pocadm) to Oracle database (SAP_BO@repdb01).
As everything is on the same host, database Oracle home is used as Oracle client.

Installing IPS

IPS has to be installed before BO Data Services.
You have to install base release first and then patch it.
Download base release of IPS from SAP website:
51041259_part1.exe
51041259_part2.rar

Unpack them on PC and copy to UNIX (I didn’t have unrar on AIX).
pwd
/deve/TEST01/POC/software/IPS
chmod -R u+rx 51041259
cd /deve/TEST01/POC/software/IPS/51041259/DATA_UNITS/SBOP_INFO_PLAT_SVCS_40_AIX64

Do not run ./setup.sh. This will require separate product key. BTW, temporary key of “BI (Business Intelligence) Platform - BI 4.0” is accepted.
For IPS as a part of Data Services, run InstallIPS:

./InstallIPS
Destination directory chosen in the following step will be used for Data Services installation as well. Both components are installed into the same directory.

For Windows 32-bit: DATASERVDESIGN02P_3-20007461.EXE
It is self-extracting archive and it creates temporary folder (1.17GB) in your TEMP directory.
The installation needs 2.35GB.

Update Oracle tnsnames.ora on your PC before starting DS Designer.

      You choose destination directory when you install IPS. When you install BODS, you have to provide the same directory.
      And this directory contains:
      InstallData
      dataservices
      sap_bobj
      setup
