How and where to deploy the .NET application.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts !!

Apologies for asking a basic question. But, I'm unable to proceed further.

I successfully created a.NET application to schedule a crystal report in BO. Now, my problem is how and where to deploy this application. I was able to build the .NET application successfully but I'm at sea to understand as where would I deploy.

Should this application be deployed on BO Infoview/CMC , if yes, please provide some insights

or

Should this application be deployed on SAP Enterprise Portal , if yes, how to deploy, please provide some insights.

Thankx a Bunch.

Hello, Srinivasan;

You can deploy your Visual Studio .NET application to the BusinessObjects Enterprise system. All of the files for the BusinessObjects runtime would be available on that server and you would not need to install a BusinessObjects Enterprise or Crystal Reports runtime.

We do not usually recommend adding an application to your Enterprise production server. More usual is a separate Web applcation server.

In that case you would need to be sure the appropriate .NET framework was installed and the BusinessObjects Enterprise client and Crystal Reports runtime to match the version and service pack on your BusinessObjects Enterprise server. There is a [deployment document|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_boe_net_runtime_en.pdf].

I hope that will give you the information you need.

Thanks Elaine !!!

I was able to create the necessary setup files as per the guide...... but just a thought !!!

As .msi files which were created can also be used in BO having Unix OS... which is the default directory it gets stored in after installation is it the same forlder [Virtual directory in case of Windows] or it prompts for the specific path!!!

Confirming cozz I dont wanna goof-up in PD environment....
