I will install BI4.1 SP4 over Windows 2012R2 Server and Im checking installation and configuration requirements. I have a doubt about Version Management and Subversion.
I have read that the default location for Subversion repository is <Install_dir>SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.1\LCM_repository\svn_repository. But the repository must be in F:\LCM_repository\svn_repository.
Is possible to change the Version Management Subversion repository location?
Can I create a new Svn Repository with svnadmin create and then change the VMS Settings in CMC?
I want to change the working directory too. Can I do it in changing the VMS settings in CMC?
We could change the Subversion repository location 8) 8) 8) 8)
We copied the LCM_Repository folder from the install path to our desired location.
Then we stopped the LCMSubversion service and changed its configuration in the RegEdit: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SVNSubversion
In the ImagePath we change the value of -r parameter to our new repository location.
The last step was to restart de LCMSubversion service and restart the SIA
During installation, we decided to use the SVN shipped with BO. Now, we would like to change it to a company SVN hosted in a Linux environment, while our BO runs on Windows.
I found this thread and would like to change the Image Path as described. My problem is: How do I have to put it when I want to use a HTTPS connection instead of SVN?
Is anyone reading this by any chance using a HTTPS based SVN and could provide me with his registry image path string? Or any other idea what I have to do to not only change the file location or move the repository, but to use a completely different SVN?
We are running 4.1 SP 7 and I see these options as well.
First strange thing is the procedure one has to follow:
Change Settings and save them (Clicking “Test VMS” now tests the OLD Setting)
Reboot LCM Service(s)
Now, “Test VMS” in Subversion Conf replies to the new Settings.
I start to believe that my understanding of the process is false: I thought BO could use an external Subversion like a Web Service. Provide it with an URL, a Port, a Username and a Password and you are fine. Probably that’s not the way it is.
SAP-Support informed us that using a Linux-SVN only is possible with the APS-LCM Service running on Linux as well. Their suggestion was to set up (or, in our case, rather: extend) a Cluster for this purpose. The reason is that the SVN one refers to in the Settings needs to run locally.
