Agent URL
| Host name and port number of the Metadata Manager Agent. You can use the Metadata Manager Agent installed on any machine.
|
Source system version
| Name and version of the resource.
|
Version
| Version of the SAP Business Objects repository. Select a version or configure the Metadata Manager Agent to detect the version.
|
System
|
Name of the Business Objects repository. For Business Objects 11.x and 12.x, specify the name of the Business Objects Central Management Server. Specify the server name in the following format:
<server name>:<port number>
If the Central Management Server is configured on a cluster, specify the cluster name in the following format:
<host name>:<port>@<cluster name>
If the version of the Business Objects repository is 14.0.6, do not specify a port number in the repository name. If you specify the port number, Metadata Manager cannot extract the Web Intelligence reports.
|
Authentication mode
|
The authentication mode for the user account that logs in to the Business Objects repository.
Specify one of the following values:
Enterprise. Log in using the Business Objects Enterprise authentication mode.
LDAP. Log in using LDAP authentication configured to Business Objects.
Windows AD. Log in using a Windows Active Directory server.
|
User name
| User name to log in to the Business Objects repository.
|
Password
| Password of the user account for the Business Objects repository.
|
Repository browsing mode
| Specifies the objects that are extracted while browsing for objects in the Business Objects repository. You can specify one of the following values:
All. The tree of universes, folders, and documents is extracted.
Universes only. The tree of universes and folders is extracted. Documents are not extracted.
Connections only. The list of connections is extracted.
|
Incremental import
|
Load changes since the previous resource load or load complete metadata. Specify one of the following values:
True. Load recent changes only.
False. Perform a complete load of the metadata.
|
Add dependent objects
|
Choose the documents that depend on the universe you selected. Specify one of the following values:
True. Imports the documents that depend on the specified universe.
False. Ignores the documents that depend on the specified universe.
Dependency information is retrieved from the Business Objects repository metadata cache. If modified or moved reports are not reflected in the Metadata Manager load, refresh the cache by loading these reports and refreshing the queries.
|
Add specific objects
| Specifies additional objects to the universe. Specify one of the following values:
None. Ignores all objects.
Universe independent documents. Imports documents that do not depend on any universe.
|
Crystal CORBA port
| Specifies the client port number on which the Crystal SDK communicates with the report application server (RAS).
The RAS server uses the port to send metadata to the local client computer. If you do not specify a port, the server randomly selects a port for each execution.
Verify that the local Windows firewall is disabled, or enables communication on the port.
|
Class representation
| Controls how the tree structure of classes and sub classes are imported.
Metadata Manager Agent imports each class containing objects as a dimension or as a tree of packages. Specify one of the following values:
As a flat structure. Creates no packages.
As a simplified flat structure. Creates a package for each class with a subclass.
As a full tree structure. Creates a package for each class.
Default is as a flat structure.
|
Import joins
| Specify whether joins and contexts are imported. Default value is True.
Choose one of the following values:
True. Joins and contexts are imported.
False. Joins and contexts are not imported.
|
Import hierarchies
| Specify whether hierarchies are imported. Default value is True.
Choose one of the following values:
True. Hierarchies are imported.
False. Hierarchies are not imported.
|
Multiple threads
| Number of worker threads that the Metadata Manager Agent uses to extract metadata asynchronously. Leave blank or enter a positive integer value.
If blank, the Metadata Manager Agent calculates the number of worker threads. The Metadata Manager Agent allocates between one and six threads based on the JVM architecture and the number of available CPU cores on the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent. If you specify a value that is not valid, the Metadata Manager Agent allocates one worker thread.
Reduce the number of worker threads if the Metadata Manger Agent generates out of memory errors when it extracts metadata. You can increase the number of worker threads if the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent has a large amount of available memory, for example, 10 GB or more. However, if you specify too many worker threads, performance can decrease.
|
Miscellaneous
| Allows you to specify miscellaneous options in a comma separated string.
You can configure the following Java environment options:
Configure the Java memory size for 64-bit JRE. Use
-java.memory option to configure the maximum Java memory size. Default Java memory size for 64-bit JRE is 1 GB. For example,
-java.memory 8G
-java.memory 800M
Configure the Java runtime command line parameters. Use the
-java.parameters option to configure the parameters.
You must use the
-java.parameters option as the final miscellaneous option.
For example,
-java.parameters -Dname=value -Xms1G
To download the required third party software libraries using proxy server, use the following option:
-java.parameters -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttps.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.proxyUser=user -Dhttp.proxyPassword=pass -Dhttps.proxyUser=user -Dhttps.proxyPassword=pass
Configure the Java location for Windows or Linux. Use
-java.executable
option to configure the Java location. For example,
-java.executable "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin\javaw.exe"
Depending on the JRE version or edition, the following are the compatible SAP BusinessObjects versions:
OpenJDK 11 version is compatible with the MIMB JRE version.
SAP Business Objects Repository XI 4.2 and previous versions are compatible with 32-bit JRE if the SAP BusinessObjects universes use ODBC or OLEDB connections.
Hence, MIMB must use the JRE version packaged with the BusinessObjects. For example,
-java.executable "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\jre8\bin\javaw.exe"
Configure the following JRE options for the BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT):
The Java location for Windows to be used for the IDT. Use the
-businessobjects.idt.java32.executable option to configure the Java location. For example,
-businessobjects.idt.java32.executable "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\jre8\bin\javaw.exe"
The JRE memory size for the IDT. Use the
-businessobjects.idt.java32.memory option to configure the maximum memory size. For example,
-businessobjects.idt.java32.memory 1G
-businessobjects.idt.java32.memory 1024M
|
Auto assign connections
| Metadata Manager configures connection assignments to relational database resource types during the resource load. If you disable this option, configure connection assignments in the resource properties after you create the resource.
|
Repository subset
| Accesses objects stored in a remote Business Objects repository. Specify the IDs of universes, reports, and folders. Separate multiple values with a semicolon.
