Install / Uninstall Design Studio on BI 4.1 Platform

[tobiasmaier]

Hi,

I have a really big problem with installations of Design Studio on the BI 4.1 Platform. Can anyone explain me what is written in the CMS database when we install a new version of Design Studio on the Platform ? At the moment I have the problem that I get the following error if I want to add the Analysis Application Service to a Server Node. "The edge between objects xx and xx does not exist. (FWM 02054)". I installed DS 1.5 SP0 Patch 1 but I had to uninstall it because of problems with bookmarks. I uninstalled it and installed DS 1.4 SP1 again. Now I get those error message.

Thanks for any comments or help!

Tobias

it adds certain objects to CMS DB, which cannot be properly downgraded, once you un-install something. So in case of your error - that is what is most likely - some remnants of objects/properties from 1.5 are still in the CMS DB after you un-installed it.

As with the BI4 platform itself, the only way to return to stable version when un-installing a patch or SP is to restore CMS DB Backup taken prior to installing patch.

You can try to run repair of the DS component. Or install 1.5 SP0 P2 or newer when they are available.

Maybe that will help

Thanks Denis, we restored the CMS database. Now it is working again.

Hi Tobias - I would like to move this to the BI Platform space, as this sounds like something a BI admin could help with - would this be OK with you?

Hi Tammy, yes that's ok. Thanks Tobias
