 Topic: Downloading R2 for XI Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm |
Just bought the book. Great! In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link. The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2. Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4. If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

It sounds like you’re asking for a structured academic or technical paper based on a concept called | Metric | Full restart | Reloader Beta
Since this isn’t a standard term in published literature (it could be a project name, a software beta version, a game mechanic, a hardware tool, or an internal codename), I’ll make a reasonable assumption: Results show a 94% reduction in downtime compared
Below is a template for a on “Reloader Beta.” You can adapt the details to match your actual project. Title Reloader Beta: A Framework for State-Aware Dynamic Reloading in Long-Running Applications Authors [Your Name(s)] [Your Affiliation] [Contact Email] [Date] Abstract Long-running applications often require configuration updates, plugin changes, or state resets without service interruption. Existing hot-reload mechanisms either sacrifice state consistency or impose heavy developer overhead. This paper introduces Reloader Beta , a lightweight framework that enables safe, state-preserving dynamic reloading of application modules. We describe its architecture, state migration protocol, and beta-stage evaluation. Results show a 94% reduction in downtime compared to full restarts, with less than 5% performance overhead. 1. Introduction Traditional software updates require stopping a process, applying changes, and restarting—leading to downtime and potential loss of in-memory state. While some platforms support hot code swapping, they often lack support for complex state transitions or transactional rollback.

I will give it a try. I didn't think it was clear, either. I never saw the plain old XI R2. I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again. I did see the dreaded incremental. I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point. Will let you know. Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site. Reporting back as requested.
I am having one issue. When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2. This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian. Missing Chapter 10. Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
Thanks again.

I am having this same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution for it?
Thanks, Matt

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens. If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.
