Re: How to set connect to the Bo server

If you have BusinessObjects installed locally or have access to server machine, perform the below steps to test the sample.

1. Go to Tomcat Installation Directory. (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6)
2. Now go to webapps folder in tomcat directory (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\Webapps).
3. Create a new application folder within webapps (ex. Test)
4. Create a new folder named ‘WEB-INF’ within ‘Test’ Folder. (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\Test\WEB-INF)
5. Copy the ‘lib’ folder from the mentioned location: (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib) and paste it to (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\Test\WEB-INF \lib)
6. Copy all the jars files from: (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib\external) and paste it to (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\Test\WEB-INF \lib)
7. Place your all jsp files at the following location (BusinessObjects Installation Dir\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\Test\index.jsp)
8. Restart tomcat and run the code in browser (http:\\localhost:8080\Test\index.jsp).
