Hello,
I have been searching for a solution but so far each result from SCN searches doesn't quite match my situation or it provides a solution I seem to have already covered. Posting here hoping to get some help with the latest version of Business Objects 4.1 SP06.
Right now I am doing the initial installation of BOBJ 4.1 SP06 on a Windows 2008 R2 system (64-bit O/S). The database for the CMS is on another host and it is running Oracle 12c. The 64-bit version of the Oracle Client was downloaded from Oracle and installed using the Administrator option.
During the installation of BOBJ, when entering the CMS information to connect to the database, I am getting the following error:
Error:
SAP BusinessObjects BI platform CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "BOPWDEV.WORLD". Reason: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
(FWB 00090)
The system cannot verify the database logon information.
[INS00104]
Would you like to correct it?
Anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?
Here's what I've done for troubleshooting so far:
- connecting to the database using tnsping works
- using sqlplus to connect to BOPWDEV works (i.e. username and password works)
- using SQL Developer Tool to connect to the database works, and I can freely create/drop tables (i.e. no access/authorization issues)
- creating User or System DSN to create connection to database is successful in Microsoft ODBC Administrator
- probably unecessary, but created the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to point to the installation directory of the Oracle client
- C:\Users\<my user>\.businessobjects\logging contains log files that add a new file every time the error appears
