Hi,
Is .net SDK part of BO XI R2 or its a seperate installable package? I am trying to install BO XI R2 SharePoint 2007 portal integration kit, but it keep asking for .net sdk. I installed BO XI R2 on server, but not sure if it contains .net SDK or not. Any tips or help will be useful.

Regards,
Pryank

I have been running the .Net Enterprise version since BOE XI R1. I was reluctant to change (being versed in VS.NET) but I have now switched to the Java due to the increased stability it seems to offer. This did require many changes to enterprise reports, including enabling Kerberos – which has to be done for AD Authenticaton with Java. I had to log several calls with SAP to facilitate the change to the Tomcat Java server.

Hopefully it will solve the .Net issues, but it does look better so far.

Geoff.

Hi Sébastien,

I’m glad you found the article useful, thank you for your feedback.

You pose a very interesting dilemma. I like your proposal of using OpenDocument calls to meet both requirements; simple and economical. However, how will you prevent users from accessing via Java?

Perhaps you could use a very hard to guess port for your Java web server and try to launch all OpenDocument calls with the address bar removed in the resulting window. This might stop most users for saving a short-cut to InfoView on your Java web server.

What do you think?

Hi Julian,

thank you for your analyse and advise.
I have a critical problem to solve.
In a hand, We have a custom infoview java application (standard portal with specific calculation and treatment written with java SDK).
In an other hand, we have a standard .net Infoview portal that is the BO portal deployed in the company which is acceded by users.

We need :
1. users continue tu access to the standard .net portal as unique access point
2. to display webi docs that use specific java treatments through custom infoview java

We think to use opendoc.jsp from .net infoview portal to do it.
What do you think?
Would you have a better idea?

Thank for your answer

Sébastien
