Business Objects 4.0 SP2 patch13 VAS server doesn't start

[MichalSarna]

Hello,

I have a problem with starting the Mobile Authentication Server (VAS).

I have installed a MSSQL server, I have created a new database VAS and I performed predefined sql scripts.

In cluster config file I provided as follows:

[database_pool]

#DB_DRIVER =org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver

#DB_DRIVER = org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

DB_DRIVER =com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

POOLS = AUTH

[database_pool $ AUTH]

URL         = jdbc:sqlserver://HIBO40;instanceName=BOE140;databaseName=VAS;

LOGIN       = VAS_user

PASSWORD    = *****

MAXCON      = 50

INITCAPACITY    = 5

What else I should configure in cluster file?

When i'm trying to execute VAS manually (vtauthd.bat start2) I have error "Cannot start server"

Best regards,

Hi Michal,

did you check the installation and deployment guide, it will help you to go through with the installation process.

If you are using SQL server, then i suppose you have to run the preinstall scripts, in order for the database tables to get configured.

Download the guide from help.sap.com

Hello Atul,

I have already read the installation and deployment guides, and I'm still having problems.

Also I've run the preinstall scripts.

did you face any errors while running the mobile configuration tool?

[MichalSarna]

yes, when i'm runing a mobile configuration tool:

- I set non BlackBerry or BlackBerry without BES

- I set mssql database and path to sqljdbc4.jar

- test connection shows green tick

- when I submit 'restart servers' i have error updating configuration files MOB20003

The security of the machine prohibits the batch file from executing.

go to command line run as administrator.

go to the path MobiconfigTool which is in ( Install dir\SAP BO\Mobile14\utils\Mobiconfigtool

run this .bat file

Thank you very much!!!

Configuration tool now works! My fault.

Atul what I should type in Mobile External address in Mobiconfigtool if I want to use it only internal, in local LAN?

[Former Member]

thats great!!

the address should be the ipaddress or fqdn of the mobile server.

[MichalSarna]

ok, so I type my local ip address or hostname (hibo40). As I see now mobiconfigtool add following entries to VAS server.config file:

[comm $ external $ mds]

EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME = hibo40

CLIENT_TYPE = any

[comm $ external $ default]

CLIENT_HOSTNAME = 0.0.0.0

CLIENT_TYPE = any

EXTERNAL_PORT = 11011

EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME = hibo40

As I read in guide in scenario for blackberry without BES and non-blackberry devices there is no MDS, so how I should configure section [comm $ external $ mds] ??

thanks!

Best Reards,

It is configured correctly.

check in cluser.config

[comm $ mds]

HOST_PORT= <mds simulator or BB>: its port

In this case the MDS simulator and the port number ( default 8080 ).

server.config

check [comm $ external ]

ENABLED = mds
