Let me tell you the whole scenario, so it become easier to understand
First we have installed BOE XI 3.1
secondly we installed Data Services XI 3.1
and atlast we have installed Metadata Management XI 3.1
Its Related To web client
CMC is opening fine but management console and Metadata Management explorer is not opening at all…
Checked intial steps too…
C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext
The order in which we deployed the BOBJ Components are -
BOE Server XI 3.1.0
Data Services XI 3.1.0
Metadata Management XI 3.1.0
Option we used
“Reuse and Existing BOE Instance”
Error:
HTTP Status 404 - /dataservices
type Status report
message /dataservices
description The requested resource (/dataservices) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
do you see a folder named DataServices in \webapps
check tomcat logs file, do you see any errors ?
check if web_admin.log file is getting created in %LINK_DIR%\log folder ? if yes then check if any error is getting logged
I un-installed all the S/Ws and re-installed it.
Still Management Console is not opening.
previously when i used commands to deploy web components. it corrupted my web componet-web application server associated with BOE and Metadata Integrator.
so deploying web components manually isreally a bad idea if u arehaving BOE installed on your system.
check if you have these war files installed ? do a search for DataServices.war in BusinessObjects folder
if you don’t want to use wdeploy script to deploy the war files, you can use tomcat manager to do that, it will not mess up your exisiting installation, you can check tomcat documentation for doing that
