SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation supports Oracle database in dedicated server mode or in shared server mode (formerly known as multi-threaded server mode).

The character set recommended for a Financial Consolidation database is AL32UTF8. The national character set recommended is UTF8. When the database is configured in archive log mode, make sure sufficient disk space is available for the archived redo logs and that the system is sized appropriately to support the system overhead associated with archiving.

Once the Oracle instance is created, you must apply the SAP Note 1431798 - Oracle 11.2.0: Database Parameter recommendations.

 Caution

Contrary to what is mentioned in this SAP Note, the setting _OPTIM_PEEK_USER_BINDS must be set to its default value TRUE.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Preparing to install SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation CUSTOMER 21 In addition to these settings, it is strongly recommended to modify the following parameters in order to increase performances:

DB_BLOCK_SIZE = 16384 (*)

DB_CACHE_SIZE= 629145600 (**) SHARED_POOL_SIZE = 67108864 SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE = 0 JAVA_POOL_SIZE = 0 LARGE_POOL_SIZE = 0 PROCESSES = 300 (**) WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY= AUTO PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=209715200 (**) OPEN_CURSORS = 1000

RECYCLEBIN=OFF

(*) depending on the type of server e.g. Windows, Unix, etc.

(**) depending on the server characteristics e.g. RAM, number of users, etc.

These settings are valid for an Oracle instance using 1 GB memory. This is the minimum value but it is recommended to use more than 1 GB memory. The Oracle automatic management of settings is supported but you will get better performance if you set the parameters manually.

For optimum performance, the value of the db_cache_size parameter should be at least three times the size of the largest consolidated data table. You should also take the RAM available on the server into account when setting the value of this parameter.

For example, if your database contains a consolidated data table whose size is 150 MB, the value of the DB_CACHE_SIZE parameter should be 471859200, i.e. 450 MB of RAM.

If more memory is available on the server, you should increase the values of the DB_CACHE_SIZE and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET parameters.

An Oracle connection uses 500 KB to 1 MB of RAM on the server. Because there can be as many open connections as users connected in SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation, you should ensure that there is sufficient memory available on the server to manage these connections.

Moreover, Oracle recommends setting a PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET parameter to define the total amount of memory available for all user sessions, instead of using the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter, used only for backward compatibility. The amount of RAM dedicated to the sort area is no longer limited to a fixed value per connection as was the case in Oracle8i. Instead, it is now allocated dynamically from Oracle9i.

4.3.1.3 Database Requirements

You should change certain settings for the Oracle client on the SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation application server. To find out more about the configuration of the Oracle client, see the Installation guide. You can also apply the same settings to the Oracle server so as to avoid configuring the Oracle client on all the application servers.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation uses a single Oracle account to store all its database objects and to manage all its connections to the Oracle server. Typically, multiple simultaneous connections to the server will be established with this single user account at any given time. Different schemas to separate development and production environments can coexist in the same database.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide 22 CUSTOMER Preparing to install SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation The Oracle user account requires the following privileges:

● CONNECT, RESOURCE

If your company's security policy prevents you from applying these privileges, then you can grant the following ones:

● CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE SEQUENCE, CREATE CLUSTER, CREATE TYPE

For customization projects, the following additional privileges may be required:

● CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE TRIGGER, CREATE VIEW

 Tip

SAP technical support can provide an Oracle Database Configuration Asistant's template or a sample database creation script and initialization parameter file customized for SAP Financial Consolidation, which can be edited to suit the requirements of your site.

 Caution

You must not assign the SELECT ANY TABLE privilege or assign a role including this privilege (example: DBA) to the owner of the schema.

 Note

To find out more about the different server mode configurations, archiving and other database administration topics, you can consult the Oracle Administration Guide.

4.3.2 Client Prerequisites

4.3.2.1 Installation Prerequisites for the Oracle Client

The Oracle Client must be installed on:

● Financial Consolidation Application servers ● FC Cube Deployer servers ● Microsoft SSAS servers ● Archiving Tool component

 Caution

You must install the Oracle client version that corresponds to the Oracle database engine you installed.

Depending on your operating system: 32 or 64-bit versions:

● If you have a 64-bit operating system, you must install the 64-bit version of the Oracle Client.

 Caution

This does not apply to the application server and to the Archiving Tool component: you must install the 32-bit version of the Oracle client on the Financial Consolidation server, even if it is a 64-bit version

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Preparing to install SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation CUSTOMER 23 operating system. If you install other components on the application server (like FC Cube Deployer for example), you must install both versions of the Oracle client.

● If you have a 32-bit operating system, you must install the 32-bit version of Oracle client.

 Note

It is mandatory to apply the last Oracle Patchset.

The 32-bit Oracle client and its OleDB provider that corresponds to the version of your database engine must be installed on the computers that have the server applications so that SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation can be installed and used with Oracle.

You should make sure that the character set used is AMERICAN_AMERICA. WE8MSWIN1252. You can check this parameter in the registry by changing the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle]

"NLS_LANG"=" AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252"

If the value of the parameter is NA, the character set used by the client computer is the default defined on the Oracle instance of the server. If you do not want to change the value of the NLS_LANG parameter on the client computer, check that the value defined on the Oracle server is correct.

Then you must create an identical Oracle TNS name to match the one set on the BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation administration console of the application servers.

4.4 SAP HANA Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are mandatory to run the SAP Financial Consolidation application on top of the SAP HANA database.

4.4.1 SAP HANA Server Prerequisites

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation uses a single SAP HANA user (for example, this user is named [FC_SCHEMA] in the documentation) to store all its database objects and to manage all its connections to the SAP HANA server. Typically, multiple simultaneous connections to the server will be established with this single user account at any given time. Different schemas to separate development and production environments can coexist in the same database.

If you want to use SAP HANA to generate Modeling Views with Financial Consolidation Cube Designer, you also need another SAP HANA user which will be used as a technical account used to access the Financial Consolidation delivery unit (In this documentation, this user is named [TECHNICAL_USER]). In addition, you must create several users that will access Modeling Views [REPORTING_USER_XX].

4.6 Web Components Prerequisites

4.6.1 Prerequisites for Windows 2003 Web Components

Before deploying SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Web, the following requirements must be met:

● Windows Server 2003 operating system ● Internet Information Services (IIS) 6 ● Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 SP1 ● ActivePDFServer must be installed on all application servers if you want to print in .PDF format

4.6.1.1 .NET Framework Parameters

4.6.1.1.1 Switching ASP.NET from 64-bit edition to 32-bit edition

Context

The following web sites:

● Financial Consolidation web site ● Financial Consolidation Administration Console Web Site ● Financial Consolidation Web Services only run in 32-bit mode. IIS must consequently also run in 32-bit mode.

 Caution

As Financial Consolidation Cube Deployer Server and the UDF For Security component only run in 64-bit mode, you can not install all those components on the same Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

If you want to run SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation on a Windows Server 2003 64-bit web server, you must switch IIS and ASP.NET from a 64-bit to 32-bit version, as SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation only runs in 32-bit mode.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Preparing to install SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation CUSTOMER 27  Caution

If you perform the following procedure, all applications deployed under IIS will be switched to the 32-bit version. Make sure that this will not cause problems when running these applications.

Procedure

1. Stop IIS. 2. To unregister the ASP. NET 64-bit version, open a DOS command prompt and go to C:\WINDOWS \Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727 and enter the following command: aspnet_regiis -u. 3. Then, to enable 32-bit on IIS, go to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\ and enter the following command: adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 4. To register ASP. NET 32-bit version, 32 bits, go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework \v2.0.50727 and enter the following command: aspnet_regiis -i. 5. Restart IIS.

4.6.1.1.2 Activating the .NET framework 2.0

Context

The .NET framework 2.0 is installed as a prerequisite. However, you may have to activate it.

In the IIS management console, check that the extension of the Web service associated with ASP.NET 2.0 is authorized as indicated below:

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide 28 CUSTOMER Preparing to install SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation 4.6.1.1.3 Configuring the .NET framework 2.0

Procedure

1. Edit the machine.config file located in the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG folder. 2. Search for the following rows:

requestQueueLimit="5000" memoryLimit="10"

maxWorkerThreads="20"

maxIoThreads="20"/>

...

executionTimeout="3600"

maxRequestLength="16384"

useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" minFreeThreads="20" minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4" appRequestQueueLimit="200" enableVersionHeader="true" />

3. Change the maxWorkerThreads and maxIoThreads parameters to indicate the maximum number of threads for each CPU. These parameters must be changed depending on how many concurrent SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Web users there are. A user connection can require up to two threads, you must therefore provide enough threads for each connection.

 Note

In the example above, the maximum number of threads allowed is 40 for a bi-processor server. This means that no more than 40 queries can be run simultaneously for all the ASP.NET applications.

4. Assign the value 3600 to the executionTimeout parameter to increase the timeout authorized for tasks in SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Web.

You must install the client certificate on each application server in your environment.

5.1.6 Initializing the Database

Once you have installed a new version of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation and configured the data sources, you must initialize the database before you connect to SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation.

 Caution

If you already have a database in an older version of BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation, refer to the SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Upgrade Guide.

There are two types of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation databases:

● Databases used by the setup sites (Top databases) ● Databases used by the operation sites (child databases)

Top databases are used to customize the setup while child databases can only be used for operating purposes. The databases used at local data entry sites (on standalones) are child databases.

 Note

By default, SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation initializes empty databases as child databases, because this constitutes the majority of the databases that are installed.

You define whether the SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation database will be a Top or child database when you initialize it. During the initialization process, SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation will adapt the structure of the database depending on whether it is a Top or child database. Once you have created a BusinessObjects Finance database, you cannot change its type.

5.1.6.1 Defining the Database Languages

 Note

The minimum value is 50,000. You can improve deployment performances by increasing that number; however, this depends on the maximum number of table partitions allowed in your RDBMS. For more information, see the recommendations of the RDBMS engine used by your NetWeaver platform.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide 112 CUSTOMER Installing Financial Consolidation Cube Designer Server Components  Tip

For example: in SQL Server, the maximum number of partitions is 1,000. This number is fixed by the database engine. You can calculate limitations as follows: 50,000 * (number of maximum partitions per table).

This number is different, depending on the database engine you use. ○ For SQL Server 2005, 2008 and 2008 R2: the limit is 1,000 partitions per table => 500,000 * 1,000 = 50,000,000 rows per infocube. ○ For Oracle 9i and 10g release 1: the limit is 65,535 partitions per table => 50,000 * 65,535 = 327,6750,000 rows per infocube. ○ For Oracle 10g release 2 and 11g: the limit is 1,048,575 => 50,000 * 1,048,575 = 52,428,750,000 rows per infocube.

14. Click Execute (F8). 15. Implement the SAP Note number 1531887 (SV_FPM 10: Missing web services in FPM Basis). 16. Do not forget to install the Certification Authorities of the SAP NetWeaver BW certificate in the Local Computer\Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder of the Cube Deployer server. 17. Configure the HTTPS protocol port with the port number 443 and add to this number your system number: 443, for example: 44310.

 Note

If you want to enter another port number, you must edit the web.config file located in C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\DeployerForFinance\ on the Deployer server, modify the parameter and replace the 443 value with the number you want.

8.1 Reverse proxy configuration

Context

EPM for Finance applications introduce a Single Sign On (SSO) mechanism between web applications.

SSO allows a user to sign on to one EPM for Finance web application and then use other EPM web applications without having to enter his credentials.

For example, a user enters his credentials to connect to the SAP BusinessObjects InfoView web portal and he receives a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI session cookie. From SAP BusinessObjects InfoView, he goes to the SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation web application with the same browser session, and does not need to re-enter his credentials, he is logged on automatically. His BusinessObjects Enterprise XI session cookie is reused automatically.

A reverse proxy server can be mandatory if you are using single sign-on (SSO).

For SSO to work, follow this procedure:

● Use the SAP BusinessObjects authentication with the same BusinessObjects Enterprise platform for all EPM for Finance applications ● Use the same URL domain name for all EPM for Finance applications web sites: ○ Either all EPM for Finance applications web servers must be installed on the same physical server, ○ or each web application is installed on separated servers and all URLs are published on the same reverse proxy server.

Procedure

1. If you use a reverse proxy, you need to publish the web services URL of the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI through the reverse proxy: http://[BOE_SRV]:8080/dswsbobje. For example, with Apache, it would be:

ProxyPass /dswsbobje http://[BOE_SRV]:8080/dswsbobje

ProxyPassReverse /dswsbobje http://[BOE_SRV]:8080/dswsbobje

2. Then, you need to indicate in the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI platform that the web services URL are published through a reverse proxy by adding the URL of the reverse proxy. Edit the dsws.properties file located in [InstallationPath]\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEBINF\classes. 3. Modify the following lines with the URL of your reverse proxy.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Installing and Configuring Cube Designer Components for SAP HANA Modeling Views CUSTOMER 141 9.3 Configuring SAP HANA Users to Access Modeling Views

When SAP HANA Modeling Views are deployed, they can be accessed with SAP HANA users. These users must be granted specific system rights to get access to these SAP HANA Modeling Views, and must have specific roles to ensure data security.

Context

The two following sections explains:

1. How to configure system rights to allow SAP HANA users to have access to Modeling Views. 2. How to assign SAP HANA roles to these users so that they inherate the Financial Consolidation security on data.

9.3.1 Configuring system rights to allow SAP HANA users to have access to Modeling Views

Procedure

1. Connect to SAP HANA Studio with a system account and open or create the HANA user that you will use to access Modeling Views. For example, you can create the following user: [REPORTING_USER]. 2. In the Object Privileges tab, select the _SYS_BI object, and grant him the EXECUTE and SELECT privileges. 3. Connect to SAP HANA Studio with the Financial Consolidation database schema owner: [FC_SCHEMA] and open the [REPORTING_USER]. 4. In the Object Privileges tab, select the [FC_SCHEMA] schema and grant him SELECT privilege.

9.3.2 Configuring system rights to allow SAP HANA users to have access to Modeling Views without Financial Consolidation security

If you want to deploy cubes without the Financial Consolidation security (the Deploy modeling views only option in the Cube Designer component), the SAP HANA users that will access these cubes must be granted the [FC_SCHEMA]_SAPFC_ANALYTIC_ROLE_CP_ALL role.

In order to create this role, you have two options:

● You deploy a cube with the Deploy modeling views only option selected, and then save a Data Access Group in the Financial Consolidation application. ● Or you deploy a cube with the Deploy option selected.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide 142 CUSTOMER Installing and Configuring Cube Designer Components for SAP HANA Modeling Views 9.3.3 Configuring SAP HANA roles to inherit the Financial Consolidation security on data

The SAP HANA user that you will use to access Modeling Views [REPORTING_USER] must be assigned SAP HANA roles in order to inherit the Financial Consolidation security on data.

The Financial Consolidation application defines security on data through Data Access Groups (DAG): each Financial Consolidation user belongs to one Data Access Group.

When deploying SAP HANA Modeling Views with Financial Consolidation Cube Designer, a SAP HANA role is created for each Financial Consolidation Data Access Group. To one Data Access Group corresponds one SAP HANA role.

These roles are named: [FC_SCHEMA]_SAPFC_ANALYTIC_ROLE_[DAG_ID]_[DAG_CODE].

You must then apply these roles to the SAP HANA user that is used to access Modeling Views [REPORTING_USER].

 Example

A Financial Consolidation user is associated with one Data Access Group. The DAG internal ID is 1048060 and the DAG Code is EUROPE. The Financial Consolidation schema name is FINANCE. Once a SAP HANA modeling view has been deployed, one SAP HANA role is created: FINANCE_SAPFC_ANALYTIC_ROLE_1048060_EUROPE.

The SAP HANA user [REPORTING_USER] corresponding to the Financial Consolidation user must be granted this role to inherit the Financial Consolidation security on data.

The following stored procedure allows you to perform this mapping:

DROP PROCEDURE GRANT_ANALYTIC_PRIVILEGES_TO_USER;

CREATE PROCEDURE GRANT_ANALYTIC_PRIVILEGES_TO_USER( IN userFC NVARCHAR(256), IN userHANA NVARCHAR(256) ) LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS BEGIN

DECLARE CURSOR cur_dag FOR SELECT ROLE_NAME, DATARIGHTS_ID FROM "CT_USER", PUBLIC.ROLES where ROLE_NAME LIKE CURRENT_SCHEMA || '_SAPFC_ANALYTIC_ROLE_' || DATARIGHTS_ID || '_%' and NAME = :userFC; FOR cur_row as cur_dag DO EXEC 'GRANT "' || cur_row.ROLE_NAME || '" TO ' || :userHANA; END FOR; END; CALL GRANT_ANALYTIC_PRIVILEGES_TO_USER('USER_FC','USER_HANA');

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Configuring Client Components CUSTOMER 155 If you do not do so, each time you open a SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Excel Web Schedules, Internet Explorer will check that the security certificates are up-to-date. This results in poor performance.

11.3.2 Specific configuration for using EWS folders offline

Context

By default, Internet Explorer refuses to give pages displayed on the Internet access to local items on the computer. The items cannot be uploaded even if they have valid certificates. This problem occurs when a user tries to reconnect to EWS after entering data in a EWS workbook offline. To display the workbook correctly, the following options must be selected:

Procedure

1. Start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options. 2. Select the Advanced tab. 3. Under the Security heading, check the Allow active content to run in files on My Computer option.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide 156 CUSTOMER Configuring Client Components 4. Edit the following registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion \Internet Settings\Zones\]. 5. In the 0 zone, search for the 2101 value. 6. In the Value data field, enter the value 1.

 Note

Internet Explorer will ask you to confirm the action each time you reconnect an Excel workbook to EWS.

 Caution

You can avoid the confirmation message by entering 0 as the value for the registry key. However, if you do so, you will no longer receive any confirmation message for any of the Internet sites you consult. This obviously represents a security risk for the computer. Business Objects does not recommend this solution.

[UserOption]

HookIEDisabled

=FALSE ------variables to be added if required ------

LoadServerXllDisabled

=FALSE

LoadBlankWorkbookEnabled

=FALSE

HookIEDisabled

This variable is used to disable the CtHookIE.dll file. Enabled by default, this file is required in order to work around a referenced Microsoft bug that affects the integration of Excel in Internet Explorer. By applying this workaround solution, you will be able to work online in an SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Excel Web Schedules schedule as well as in an Excel workbook on the local host.

The possible values are:

● FALSE (default value): this library is loaded by the system. ● TRUE: The system does not load this library.

LoadServerXllDisabled

This variable is used to check whether or not the version of Excel Web Schedules CtPlanning.xll) on the Web server and on the client are identical.

 Caution

By default, this variable is not found in the CtPlConfig.ini file. You should insert it manually if you want to use it.

The possible values are:

● FALSE (default value): the version of the CtPlanning.xll file will be checked automatically. This means that if the version on the client computer is earlier than the one on the Web server, then it will automatically be upgraded. ● TRUE: the version of the CtPlanning.xll file will not be checked. This means that the version of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Excel Web Schedules on the client computer will not be automatically upgraded.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Configuring Client Components CUSTOMER 161 LoadBlankWorkbookEnabled

This variable is used to specify a specific mode in which local changes will not be loaded when the schedule is opened. If enabled, all local changes will be removed when the schedule is corrupted and cannot be opened with them. This is done without querying the database.

 Note

By default, this variable is not found in the CtPlConfig.ini file. You should insert it manually if you want to use it.

The possible values are:

● FALSE (default value): the mode is disabled. ● TRUE: the mode is enabled. You should proceed as described below. This enables you to open a schedule even if it is corrupted. 1. In the installation folder of the module, open the CtPlConfig.ini file. 2. Save and close the file. 3. Open a package that contains the uncorrupted and corrupted schedules. 4. Open the uncorrupted schedule. 5. The schedule opens with its local modeling. 6. Open the corrupted schedule. 7. The schedule will open without its local modeling. 8. To ensure that the schedule will open subsequently, you can select SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation > Local modeling > Remove local modeling. 9. Close the package. 10. Open the CtPlConfig.ini file again. 11. Enter FALSE instead of TRUE. 12. Save and close the file.

11.3.7 Configuring SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Excel Web Schedules installation folder

Context

When an Excel Web schedule is opened for the first time, two folders are created:

● The first one is: %UserProfile%\EWS\. It contains all files related to the executable (macro). It is possible to customize a registry key to define the folder once for every time, in which all the macros are going to be downloaded. For example, if you use Citrix, the macros are being downloaded for all users only once, instead of being downloaded each time by each user. For example, this key will be: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CARTESIS\Magnitude\Planning] "EWSDirectory"="d:\ews" ● The second one is: %UserProfile%\Application Data\SAP\EWS\. It contains all files related to the user settings: log files, ini files.This folder also contains the CtPlConfig.ini file.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide 162 CUSTOMER Configuring Client Components 12 Installing and configuring under Windows Terminal Services

The Windows Terminal Services architecture supports "application server computing", which enables the application to run on a server for multiple users.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation clients can be installed in Windows Terminal Services as part of the 3-tier architecture, in which screen changes in the user interface are sent to the individual client computer.

All of the processing in the application will be performed on the Windows Terminal Services server. Regardless of the line speed, the server will be able to send screen changes to the client computer without any loss in performance, using any type of LAN, WAN or other communication network.

Windows Terminal Services also coordinates all of the printing jobs to be performed by managing communication between input/output drivers.

Installing an application in a Windows Terminal Services environment, is different than installing an application in a standard Windows environment.

 Note

If complementary applications are used (e.g. Citrix MetaFrame), additional operations may be necessary (e.g. deploying the application in Citrix MetaFrame). To find out more, contact your software provider.

12.1 Installation modes in Windows Terminal Services

 Caution

You should connect with the local system administrator account when installing SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation.

To install an application on a Windows Terminal Services server, you must disconnect all users and switch the server to install mode.

You can install an application in Windows TS in two different ways:

● Select Start > Settings > Control Panel and select Add/Remove programs.

 Note

When you perform the above action, the server will switch automatically to Install mode..

● Enter the following command line to switch to install mode: change user /install.

SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation Installation Guide Installing and configuring under Windows Terminal Services CUSTOMER 163 12.2 Configuring the Windows Terminal Services server

Procedure

1. Once BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation is installed, continue in Install mode. Print a SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation object (not a schedule or report). For example, print a scope. The printouts are managed by an ActiveX control that is saved the first time that it is called up. You must print a schedule on the SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation client on the Terminal Services server to complete the installation. 2. In order to optimize network traffic, you can deactivate the animation in SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation using a registry key. To do so, in the registry, create a DWORD type key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cartesis\Magnitude\HideMagnitudeProgression. 3. Name the key HideProgressionAnimation. 4. Assign the value 1 to the key. It is also possible to customize a registry key to define the folder once for every time, in which all the macros are going to be downloaded. For example, if you use Citrix, the macros are being downloaded for all users only once, instead of being downloaded each time by each user. 5. To do so, open the following registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CARTESIS\Magnitude \Planning] and add the path of the folder to the EWSDirectory value. For example, this key will be: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CARTESIS\Magnitude\Planning] "EWSDirectory"="d:\ews".
