Since FP2.5 (XI3.1) Dashboards don't work.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Since installing FP2.5 on our Dev server dashboards don't work. I have created PMUser and set it in the InitConfig.properties in Program Files\Business Objects\Dashboard and Analytics 12.0 but when we try to start it or try to set the password in preferences we get the following error:-

Servlet Engine Exception: Cannot read \InitConfig.properties

Something else I have noticed is that we also have a Program Files\Business Objects\Performance Management 12.0 which is empty. Is this normal or is there another issue here??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks John, your solution was really helpful

I got the same situation after upgrading BO edge, with SP2 + FP 2.1

(edge fp2.1 seems to be the same as enterprise fp2.5)

I am getting the same errors with Edge 3.1 SP2.1. I did put in a note to SAP with the Stack trace.

Hi,

I actually resolved the issue. The problem was that there was no af.configdir parameter set in %HOME%\Tomcat\webapps\PerformanceManagement\WEB-INF\web.xml

Please check your files and add your path. For example:

[context-param]

[param-name]af.configdir[/param-name]

[param-value]c:\local_path_for_Tomcat\[/param-value]

Then you just restart Tomcat.

I hope this helps.

John
