Hi guys,
I am facing a little strange problem with our BO Mobile SP4 deployment.
I have made a fresh installation of a BO Mobile SP4 in our BO server. I have setup all the configuration details according the manual. When I tried to configure VAS as a Windows service (by running
vtauthd.bat service_inst
from VAS\bin), it reported
"The system cannot find the path specified"
After some investigation by checking the .bat file syntax I have discovered that the VT_HOME parameter is set incorrectly by system. In my case the vtauthd.bat script location directory is "D:\APPS\Business Objects\Mobile 12\server\VAS\bin\vtauthd.bat". The VT_HOME directory should be the parent directory of directory script is in - D:\APPS\Business Objects\Mobile 12\server\VAS. See the following script from the .bat file:
:: Home directory containing server
:: (is parent directory of directory script is in)
call :dirname VT_HOME %~sf0
set VT_HOME=%VT_HOME%\..
For some reason, my path assigned to VT_HOME variable is only D:\APPS (it shows you all variables when you run the vtauthd.bat). I have no idea, how this is possible. When I manually assign in the .bat file the correct path, I am able to register the windows service via the authservice.exe file (JavaService):
set VT_HOME="D:\APPS\Business Objects\Mobile 12\server\VAS"
Any ides why the system is shortening the VT_HOME path??? Thanks!
Erik.

Hi guys,
The following is a really dirty workaround of this problem. I have to note, that I did not have time to investigate reason of this problem, so was forced to this dirty workaround and it worked for me.
Here are the step:
1. Make sure you have all the prerequisites installed
2. Backup all your original .bat files mentioned below!
3. Edit the vtauthd.bat (VAS) as the following:
:: set VT_HOME=%VT_HOME%\..
set VT_HOME="<BO_INSTALL_DIR> \Mobile 12\server\VAS"
4. In the same vtauthd.bat file locate the following code:
%VT_HOME%\bin\authservice.exe -install XI3MobileAuthServer %VT_JVM_LIBPATH%\jvm.dll %VT_JVM_ARGS% %VT_JVM_RT_MEM_ARGS% -Djava.library.path=%VT_LIBPATH% -Djava.class.path=%VT_CLASSPATH% -start %VT_MAIN_CLASS% -params "%VT_CONFIG_FILE%" "start" -stop %VT_MAIN_CLASS% -params "%VT_CONFIG_FILE%" "stop" -current %VT_HOME% -description "SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Mobile Authentication Server"
5. Replace the
%VT_HOME%\bin\authservice.exe
with
"<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Mobile 12\server\VAS\bin\authservice.exe" (including quotes)
6. Run the Configure Mobile Authentication server (VAS) as a service from Windows, it should register the service successfully
7. Check whether you can find the service under Windows Services > XI3MobileAuthServer
8. Start the service
9. Repeat the analogy of steps 2-6 for VMS (vtvmsd.bat / XI3MobileJobServer)
10. Start the VAS service from Windows by Launch Mobile Authentication server (if it doesnu2019t start and ends up with TDS protocol error, replace the sqljdbc.jar with a newest one u2013 version 4).
11. Repeat the analogy of step 9 for VMS
12. Now you should successfully launch all services
Hope it helps someone.
Erik.
