BusinessObjects Enterprise HOST NAME PROBLEMS

[Former Member]

As we can find in other posts, we know that BO has problems with underscore in the host name.

I read in some posts that the problem can be solved by writing the IP address instead of the host name when we use Infoview or whatever we need.

I've done two BO enterprise installations in two different Vitual Machines (made with Virtual PC).

I know that SAP guarantees that BO works fine only on VMware platform with the host name without underscores.

The host on the first Virtual Machine was named correctly, but after the installation I changed it inserting an underscore; after this the Infoview login interface didn't work. So I tried to write the IP address and It worked properly.

Trying to use Designer and Translation Manager I had only to use the IP address instead of the current host name.

The host on the second Virtual Machine was named with an underscore, and after the installation I launched the Infoview login interface that didn't work. Again I tried to write the IP address and It worked properly, but in this case I couldn't launch the Designer and I couldn't import the universe from cms with the Translation Manager!!!

I got this exception opening the Designer:

I got this exception importing the universe from cms in the Translation Manager:

[repo_proxy 37] UniverseFacade::importUniverse - (Helpers::InfoStore::ObjectFileHandle::extractContent) Local file copy has failed Errore del File Repository Server: La directory C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Dati applicazioni\Business Objects\Business Objects 12.0\Universes\@l3_dwhsrv_6400\Folder 95/Universes\ richiesta u00E8 inesistente.(hr=#0x80042a4a)

I'd like to know if:

1) Is this a problem because of the Virtual PC virtual machine?

2) Is this a problem because of the BO problem with underscore in the host name?

and

3) How can I resolve this problem without changing the host name?

Thank you for your attention,

Giorgio

Hi Agliano,

changing the Hostname of a Server after BO is installed is a bad idea ! The WAR files for your Tomcat are in some sort "hardcoded".

I would suggest re- deploying your war files on the Tomcat would fix this issue. Check SAP Note - 1308027 for assistance.
