from the greenplum.sbo and access.sbo files, because they deploy the configuration on both 32-bit
and 64-bit MS Windows. Note Greenplum 4 database is also available on 64-bit Linux.
odbc subdirectory also contains the msexcel.sbo configuration file for managing connections to MS
Excel 2003 and 2007 through ODBC network layer. This file deploys the configuration on 32-bit MS
Windows only. The personalfiles.sbo configuration file deploys configuration for MS Excel 2010
through ODBC on both 32-bit and 64-bit MS Windows.
open sub-directory contains open.sbo configuration file for managing connections to CSV files through
the CSV OpenDriver. When developing a CSV driver based on the CSV Open driver sample using the
Java Driver Development Kit, you must locate all your configuration files in this directory. For more
information about this driver, refer to the Data Access Driver Java SDK Developer Guide at
http://boc.sdn.sap.com.
10.1.3 To view and edit SBO files
Caution:
Before opening an SBO file, make a backup copy of the file. Some configuration parameters must not
be edited. If you change or delete them it could affect the operation of your SAP BusinessObjects
applications.
1.
Browse to the directory that stores the SBO file for your target data access driver.
2.
Open the SBO file in an XML editor.
3.
Expand sections as required.
4.
Locate the appropriate tag for the value to change, and change the value.
Parameters appear in the format: <Parameter Name="parameter">value</Parameter>
where parameter is the name of the parameter, and value is the value attributed to the parameter.
5.
Check that the file is valid against the DTD, save and close the file.
10.1.4 To customize SBO files
Caution:
When installing a new driver, you may want to customize SBO files with your own database entries and
drivers. In order to avoid possible errors when editing SBO files, SAP BusinessObjects recommends
you to create a separate SBO file that specifies the databases targeted by your customization and the
libraries used by the driver. Beforehand you also need to create a setup file for the SBO file definition.
You do not need to modify registries.
1.
Create a setup file in the connectionserver-install-dir\connectionServer\setup di
rectory by using an XML editor.
