Putting RA Business Objects Agent .jar Files on the Agent Machine

The RA Business Objects Agent requires you to put certain .jar files in place when you:

  • Install the RA Business Objects Agent
  • Upgrade the RA Business Objects Agent
  • Upgrade the RA Agent core

To put them in place:

  1. Remove all .jar files except bsf-2.4.0.jar and uc4-ra.jar from the following directory of the RA Business Objects Agent.

    2. For Directory
    An Automation Engine UNIX Agent bin/shared
    An Automation Engine Windows Agent bin\shared

  2. Navigate to the following directory and delete any existing files.

    3. For Directory
    An Automation Engine UNIX Agent bin/lib
    An Automation Engine Windows Agent bin\lib
    An Applications Manager UNIX Agent web/classes_alt
    An Applications Manager Windows Agent web\classes_alt

    If the directory does not exist create it.

  3. Copy the files from the C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\web services\en\dsws_consumer\data\dswsJavaApi\ directory. It contains the following .jar files:

    • dsws-bicatalog.jar
    • dsws-biplatform.jar
    • dsws-common.jar
    • dsws-common-util.jar
    • dsws-publish.jar
    • dsws-reportengine.jar
    • dsws-session.jar
    • dsws-webishared-provider.jar
    • TraceLog.jar

    You can get the .jar files (SAP BusinessObjects BI platform Java SDK) from the SAP Service Marketplace (login required).

  4. Copy the content of the C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\web services\en\dsws_consumer\data\dswsJavaApi\external\ directory.

  5. Download the relevant axis2-<version>-bin.zip file from Apache:

    • Business Objects 4.2

      Download the file axis2-1.6.2-bin.zip from http://archive.apache.org/dist/axis/axis2/java/core/1.6.2/axis2-1.6.2-bin.zip, place it in a temporary directory and unzip it. Then copy all the .jar files from the lib sub-directory to the appropriate directory as mentioned in step 2.

    • Business Objects 4.3

      Download the file axis2-1.7.9-bin.zip from https://archive.apache.org/dist/axis/axis2/java/core/1.7.9/axis2-1.7.9-bin.zip, place it in a temporary directory and unzip it. Then copy only the following files from the lib sub-directory to the appropriate directory as mentioned in step 2.

      • activation-1.1.jar

      • woden-core-1.0M10.jar

      • commons-httpclient-3.1.jar

      • apache-mime4j-core-0.7.2.jar

      • axis2-jaxws-1.7.9.jar

      Note: Do not copy the log4j.jar file, as it is not required and poses a security vulnerability.
