BI 4.0 SP04 Version Management

[Former Member]

I am trying to configure the Version Management Settings to use Subversion that is running on a server other then the CMS server and I cannot get the this to work. I have setup the respository as svn_repository and have started the svn server with the command '/opt/bobj/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/subversion/bin/svnserve --root=/opt/bobj/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/subversion/svn_repository --listen-port 3690 -d' on the remote host.

Here is how I've made the Version Management settings in the CMC:

Server Name - Remote linux host name

Server Port 3690

User name:

Password:

Install Path: /opt/bobj/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/subversion/

Repository Name: svn_repository

Workspace Directory: /opt/bobj/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/subversion/check_out

Protocol: SVN

I save the settings and when I click the Test VMS button I get the spinning wait symbol and never get a connection.

When I open Version Management from the CMC I receive this error:

com.businessobjects.vms.VMSException: com.businessobjects.vms.VMSException: com.businessobjects.vms.VMSException: com.businessobjects.vms.VMSException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run /opt/bobj/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/subversion//svn - exec failed (ENOENT - No such file or directory).

Has anyone been succesful in getting this to work?

I found KBA article that mentioned that the server had to be LOCALHOST but that does not make sense in my case. Do I need to move Subversion to the CMS Linux host server?

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hi,

I am sure that this issue has been resolved however I thought I would throw a comment into the ring for consideration.  When using SVN for source control through various systems it is necessary to install the client side command line tools for an application to interact with the SVN repository.  From the original post it looks as though the SVN repository address and credentials have been configrued correctly, however version management is throwing an error as it is attempting to execute the command line commands to interact with the repository but cannot find the command line tools under the default directory "/opt/bobj/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/subversion/check_out".

There is a useful article on SVN command line (for linux) here: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/255/svn-command-line-tutorial-for-beginners-1/

We have our Bi4 environments setup and running (Dev, Test, Pre Production and production).

I want to setup version control (or version management) on our dev server only, so that developers can save the different versions. BO admin analyists will be responsible for migrating to the other environments so that developers have no control in pre-production or Production.

Is there a starter guide available for setting up and configuring the Version manager?

It is available in CMC but obviously I need to setup a repository somewhere in order to save the versions to.

I need something to get me started.

Thanks

Hi John,

I have the same doubt about subervion I have installed BOBJ 4.0 in Linux (personalized installation) son I don't choose Subversión, because we have plan to installa a dedícate LCM server, so I guess my BOBJ server will use subversión from this LCM server, am I right? o subversión have to be installed locally in every server and then they can connect to LCM server?

What did you do? can you share some comments?

Regards
