Hi Anshul,
2) We will create new CMS database instance for fresh install of IPS 4.0 however our DS local and central repositories will continue to be in the old database instance which is also on the same oracle server. My doubt is post install how we will upgrade/repoint/configure these existing repos to new BODS setup?
Solution:
Using SAP Business Objects Data Services repository manager you can easily upgrade your Local & Secure central repository.
But regarding configuration files like DSConfig.txt you have to update at the time of installation only other wise you have to create manually all configuration like creation of Job Server, Access Server, RFC Configuration etc.. DSConfig.txt will store all these data.
3) How we will restore files like admin.xml, as.xml, for DSConfig.txt we get the option to choose an existing one during install? I read somewhere that admin.xml, as.xml files are useful when we are upgrading from DS 3.1 or DI.
Solution:
admin.xml: It contain information related to SAP Business Objects Data Services management console
as.xml: It contains information about your access server & real time jobs details
Thanks,
Daya
