Hi,

After you install the server component on the server machine, you can go to

http://<server ip address>/osoft

And do the installation directly from the link. You dont need to use the client component. You will have to install both the admin and office client (admin is needed for administrator console, and office client is needed for excel, word, powerpoint console).

Alternatively, you can install the clients from the client component. After the installation, when you run the client, you will need to enter the server's ip address, and thats how the connection is established.

Hope this helps.

Thanks raghu and Deepak for your kind support

As per my understanding

I am apply K-700AGINCPMBPC.SAR as a add-ons in server ( in our case ECC6 + BW client in same server ) and Client tool in client machine where IIS server and .net frame ware exists

How to integrated Client and Server through RFC or else , please guide me

Hi,

4. BPC only for windows platform or also in Linux

=> BPC NW has 2 elements.

a) NW ABAP component which can reside on your BI system ( either unix or windows)

b) .NET component will reside only on windows

6. .Net required on server side or client side ( if server side then BPC is only in windows platform)

==> .Net has server components residing on windows server and client components residing on user desktop.

Hope this helps.
