Hi Everybody,
Can anyone shed the light on the following dead end issue we are facing during Data Service 4.2 SP 2 Add On the EXISTING BOBI 4.1 SP2
( compatibility is confirmed by SAP through OSS Incident).
Environment :
Existing Distributed Architecture of BOBI 4.1 SP 2 i..e CMS DB Oracle on One Host and BOBI 4.2 SP2 on Another Host
Adding : Data Services 4.2 SP2 on Separate Host
OS : Linux RED HAT 6.3 (VMware)
At the initial Information Gathering Phase of Data Services Installation I face the following issue at the section of " Enter CMS Name " :
- We entered Physical / Virtual server name with and without FQDN i.e. Current CMS Host
- Next is Admin and Password i.e. Administrator and Password of Existing CMS
We get the following System Response / Error :
Invalid CMS Connection Information.
Installer could not detect a running Data Services Administrator Service with
the specified CMS connection information.
and no valid local SIA node was found.
Installer can not continue.
Please fix this problem by:
1. Making sure a Data Services Administrator Service is up and running with the specified CMS;
2. or creating a valid local SIA node to point to the specified CMS.
It seems this is Known Issue and I see two notes :
1837296 - ERROR: No valid local SIA nodes exist for the given CMS connection information - Data Services 4.x
- Not applicable as this is for IPS based installation
1682686 - Cannot connect to the CMS during installation of Data Services or Information Steward
- This note suggests to enter the TEMP variable pointing to location of Log Files Storing the Installation Logs
accordingly we did set " export TEMP=/usr/sap/<SID>/BOBI " as Temp variable but same error persists with the same message !!
- This note says valid for " DS 4.1 "
..seems SAP Fall behind with the Rapid Frequency of DS Releases and even in this note there's extremely brief so called solution
...Defining TEMP should solve this issue in this case as per the note but, it is not solving issue at all !!
In addition to define TEMP Variable to resolve this, following verification, further attempts are made to fix it :
#1. I am able to ping from Data Services Host to CMS Host and there's no Firewall blocking this connection
#2. Using IP in place of Host Name ( FQDN or without FQDN ) does NOT resolve
#3. With Administrator / Password mentioned - log in is possible
#4. Added entries in /etc/hosts of CMS Host and in DS Host ( cross entries )
#5 There's a Thread -
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3469916 -- and as per that following sap note 1682686 resolves this specific issue but, in our case it does not !
In short : as of now we are at dead end !!
Pl. share your knowledge, inputs - Thanks.
Thanks,
