BO 4.1 SP5 on Tomcat 7.0.65 - errors

[arijit_das]

Installation workflow:

1. Install Tomcat 7.0.65 as windows service

2. Install SAP BO BI Platform 4.1 SP5 (without default tomcat installation)

3. Use Wdeploy tool to deploy all web services.

After above workflow, everything is working except:

1. BI Launchpad Home tab.

2. CMC > Promotion Management page

3. CMC > OLAP Connection page

I am getting tomcat errors for above three cases. Screenshots attached.

Any idea ?

** I already tried re-deploying BOE web application without success.

I have resolved the error by using sapjvm instead of oracle java in Tomcat Configuration > Java settings.

Hi Arijit,

If you have any working BI environment which has same BO version then you can copy tomcat\webapps\BOE folder and paste it in

the current tomcat\webapps  folder.

Now restart the affected tomcat  and check  the issue .

What error did you get while redeploying BOE war file?

Let us know the result.

unfortunately, there is no other server in the same version. Is it related to the tomcat version I am using ? Should I try some other version like 7.0.55 ?

Hi Arijit,

I believe the WAR files are not deployed properly.

Could you please attach the tomcat logs herein.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I also feel the same, but wondering why repeated deployment also did not fix the problem. Logs attached as requested. Please remove the .txt extension of the zip file.

Hi Arijit,

There are many compilation and 500 errors for the LCM file. Could you please explain how did you deploy all web applications?

I used Wdeploy GUI based tool to deploy all web applications after BOBJ installation.

[Former Member]

Hi Arijit,

Well, I could hardly believe in GUI based tool to deploy web applications. I have always used the command line to deploy web applications which worked for us.

It is easy to use for deploying web applications and reliable too. Use the commands below to deploy all web applications.

Commands:

1. wdeploy tomcat7 validateconfig
2. wdeploy tomcat7 predeployall
3. wdeploy tomcat7 deployall

You would need to clear the already deployed web applications before using the commands above.

Clear the contents of:

1. tomcat\webapps\
2. tomcat\work\catalina\localhost

You can also follow the KBA:1608960. This would be the best guide to understand the complete web deployment in BI4.1SP05.

Hope this helps
