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

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.

was installed on host01 (AIX 6.1 TL6)

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.

Patching IPS
Download and unpack IPS_4.0_SP02_patch14
Do not use AIX tar command as it causes the following error:
tar:
can't create ././@LongLink: Permission denied
Cause: TDI uses AIX tar which has a limitation on the
maximum buffer size. The prefix buffer can be a maximum of 155 bytes and the
name buffer can hold a maximum of 100 bytes. If the path name cannot be split
into these two parts by a slash, it cannot be archived.
Install and use GNU version of tar: /opt/freeware/bin/tar
