If you want to shorten the InfoView url to just the machine name, here are a few steps:
· Create a file named index.html or default.html and open it in a text editor and copy the below text to the file.
##################################################
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
location.href="http://boserver:8080/InfoViewApp/logon.faces";
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
##################################################
· Keep the file in "ROOT" folder of your tomcat instance and restart tomcat.
For Windows:
<path to Business Objects>\Tomcat55\webapps\ROOT
Eg. C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ROOT
For UNIX:
/apps/bo31/bobje/tomcat/webapps/ROOT
· Restart Tomcat
Access the following URL and it will open up InfoView for you. Eg. http://boserver:8080
To change the port on which tomcat is running. Eg. from 8080 to 80.
You can do it by modifying the server.xml file located at <Tomcat home>\conf\server.xml.
Search the server.xml file and look for:
"<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->"
<Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8080" redirectPort="8443"/>
Modify port="8080" to port="80".
Save the server.xml file and restart tomcat.
Now you can open InfoView with url, http://boserver
To change the Tomcat URL to listen http://bi-reporting.domain.com instead of http://boserver
Many times company policies don't allow domain users / public (external) users to view the actual machine names in the urls. After installing SAP BO, you have to use your machine in the url to open up CMC / InfoView. In order to do that, you have to create a DNS alias for your BO server on the DNS server. Your DNS admin / Network admin can do it for you in just a few clicks.
To use the URL http://bi-reporting.domain.com you can create a DNS alias/CNAME for your Tomcat server.
Please follow the below Microsoft article in order to create a DNS alias for your server.
