BusinessObjects and SAP Installation and Configuration

Part 3
This is part 3 of the Installation and Configuration blog series for the integration of BusinessObjects
with SAP. I will describe the following parts:

BusinessObjects Edge Series XI Release 3.0 (Part 1)

Crystal Reports 2008 (Part 2)

Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 (Part 2)

Live Office XI Release 3.0 (Part 3)

SAP GUI (Part 3)

Integration Kit for SAP Solutions XI Release 3.0 (Part 4)

SAP Transports (Part 4)

Live Office XI Release 3.0

Now I will start the installation of Live Office XI Release 3.0 and select English as setup language

After the Welcome screen


I accept the license agreement

Now I can select the Language Packs for Live Office XI Release 3.0 and after clicking Next
I can select the folder for the installation

and then the installation will start ..


and after a few minutes you will see the following screen.

At this point I have three components left that I need to install:

SAP GUI

SAP Java Connector

SAP Integration Kit

SAP GUI
The SAP GUI is required for two areas. Crystal Reports is leveraging parts of the SAP GUI (like SAP
Logon) to allow the user to open a BI Query or save a Crystal Report object to the BI System.

BusinessObjects Edge requires the librfc to communicate with the SAP backend like Crystal Reports
does as well.

I start the installation of the SAP Frontend (7.1) and I select the SAP GUI Suite

. The BW Add-On (for BW 3.5 Add-Ons) and the BI 7 Add On.

Right now Crystal Reports 2008 is using the dialogs from the BW 3.5 Add-On and therefore you
have to deploy the BW 3.5 Add On components even when your backend is a BI 7 System.
In Part #4 of the installation we will install the SAP Java Connector and the SAP Integration Kit.
