Business Object Services- Attachment vs store business document

Hi,
There are two ways to add attachments to a Purchase requisition.
1. as a generic attachment- (System --> services for object --> create attachment )
2. as a business document ( System --> services for object -->store business doucment)
Looks like in both the options, attachments could be stored on HTTP Content server.
What are pros and cons of storing an attachment as a business doc?
What are additional functions possible with option 2?
Thanks ,
Vinay

Hi,
Attachments are stored in binary format.
Advantage of storing in SAP is speedy access, than compared to content server.
Disadvantage some of the table space grows exponently.
Some of the tables attachments get stored are SO*
To get the link for the folder and attachments stored in SRGBTBREL
Various type of attachments are ATTA NOTE URL MSG etc.
For custom attachment options can be enabled using class CL_GOS_MANAGER
aRs
If useful pl. assign points

Business Object "Service Order" not found in Web Service Tool

Dear Experts,
We're trying to create a web service for Service Order via Web Service Tool,
but we can't find the business object "Service Order" there.
How to step to reproduce the problem:
1. Logon CRM WEBUI with the business role ITSERVICEPRO.
(or T-cd:BSP_WD_CMPWB > Enter component WS_DESIGN_TOOL > Test)
2. Go to Service Operations>Web Service
3. Create a new Web Service
-> In "Service Objects" area at step 1 "Select Objects", there's a drop down list box of "Business Object".
In this list, "Service Order" does not exist.
Other objects such as "Service Confirmation", "Service Order Quotation" etc are available.
How can we create a new web service for Service Order?
Any advise would be highly apprecaited.
Best regards,
F.T.

Hello Rocca,
It is hard coded in FM CRM_SALESDOCUMENT_FILTER that the item which is assigned to object type BUS2000140 would be removed from the upload relevant item list.
To get it replicated, I am afraid that you need to modify the relevant coding here.
Best regards,

Object Services attachement list

From FB03, I am able to view archived images from Environment==>additional assignments==>object links==>attachment list.
However, when I am using the Object Services==>attachment list the images does not display. Any ideas why?
I have the following authorization objects.
C_DRAD_OBJ activity 03, document type *, Linked SAP Object *, Status *.
S_WFAR_OBJ activity (01,02,03), Document type *, Object Type *.
Any ideas why from one path it works but not the other?
Thanks,
Christina

Business Objects Services

Hi all
I have Business Objects and SAP Business Objects PCM installed in the same server, I reviewed the performance service when is running one calculated process in PCM and all looks good, but if I turn on the BO services (CMS and TOMCAT), all the memory start to be consume
How I need configure the services for both applications?
Thanks

Hi Ivonne,
first of all, the CAF Business Objects (BOs) itself don't contain any business logic, they're basically just local database tables (with some CRUD services on top).
Business logic is implemented in Application Services (AS).
Now, regarding local BO's vs. external services, it depends on your use case. If the data is already available somewhere in your backend system it makes sense to use external services. For instance you wouldn't want to store business partners all over different composites. For data that is specific to your composite (in particular configuration, customizing etc.) and not likely to be reused by other applications you should use local BOs.
Accessing local BO's is also much faster than calling external services.
You can do reuse in both scenarios, since the CAF services can be exposed as web services.

Christian

Mass upload of Object Services to material master - Create Document (URL)

Hi there,
Does anyone have any experience of uploading URL's to material masters via object services. Can we use LSMW?
I have tried to record the transaction, however, this excludes the object services button
Any feedback greatly appreciated
Steve

Hi Csabar,
Thanks.
BUt may I know clearly what do you mean by your following statement?
I would suggest you should always create/modify/delete only one record in config via LSMW.
I have more than 3000 records for this exercise, do You mean I should test it out on one record first in 0VRF during the recording??
thanks

GOS - Store business document - creator name

Hi All,

I am doing it thru FBD3 transaction.
I am using Generic Object services toolbar to attch the document.
When I attach thru Attachment button and display by clicking on the attachments list, it is showing Creator name as my ID.
But If I attach thru Store Business document and display it thru attachment list, Creator name is blank. But client want to see the creator name also in the display.
Any one has idea about this? I am not able to understand whether it is capturing my ID or not when I attach thru Store business document.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Seema,
I had a look at this weblog. This is if I have to implement the functionality from Background.
But I am attaching a document by using Storebusiness document link in the GOS toobar via frontend.
This is late archiving.
At this point of time if I display the attachments, it is not showing the creator name for the documents attached via the link "Store Business document" . But if I attach through "create attachment" it is displaying the creator name.
I am wondering why it is not taking creator name, did I miss any configuration part?

Business Objects, external services and application services in CAs

Hi All,
right now we are developing our first eSOA Composite Application with CE and I have some questions regarding Business Objects, the import of external services and the development of application services.
As I understood there are two ways to provide business functionality for composite applications:
a. Import backend functionality as an external service (e.g. BAPI, RFC) at the CAF, build the application service which can be used as a callable object for UIs or the GPs
b. Develop a local Business Object (in CAF) providing the business logic, create the application service which again can be used as a callable object. Furthermore the application service can be exposed as a Web Service (external service).
My questions:
1. When is it appropriate to to import external services in stead of developing local BOs?
2. Under what conditions is it advisable to (solely) develop local BOs?
3. What are the advantages / disadvantages regarding the reusability of the services (in option a and b)?
Note: We are developing on NetWeaver 2004s.
Please let me know, if you need more information to answer the questions!
Thanks for your advice in advance,
Regards,
Ivonne

Running XI and 6.5 Services on same Business Objects Server

We are currently thinking about migrating to Business Objects XI from 6.5 SP4.
We are running with a 3-tier architecture, with the Business Objects services running on a Windows Server.
Due to the number of users and reports in circulation we would like to do the migration in phases.
Is it possible to run both the XI and 6.5 services on the same Business Objects server at the same time?

That's actually a migration secanario so it should work fine. I had no trouble with 5.2 and 6.0 on the same system.

Transaction KB16N business-object type and key for GOS

When attachments (notes, PC documents etc) are made to a manual cost allocation in transaction KB16N using GOS (generic object services):
what is the business-object type?
how is the business-object key constructed?
I suspect that the business-object type is BUS6036.
I suspect that the business-object key is the concatenation of the controlling area and the document number (using internal values).
Is that correct?
The reason for my question is that I have a program to display attached notes (and allow drill-down to attached PC documents) that works for various business objects (billing documents, purchasing documents and some FI documents), but I cannot get it to work for manual cost allocations.
John

Hi Michele
The transaction you are looking for should be SWO1
Then put the ex "BUS2000116" into the Object/Interface type and ...
Guess it will help you

Add extra Business Objects to model CRM 2007: Web Client Records

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how I can add more Reference Objects in Case Management?
I copied the model CRM 2007: Web Client Records and added a new node (with for example Business Object Service Order) just like product and installations (which are visible under the reference objects)
I created a new element type under SCMG_SP_CASE_RECORD --> Z_CRM_SPS_CASE_RECORD and in the customizing we attached the model to the case type under Case Management --> Extended Customizing --> Process Actions --> Assign Action Profile to Case Type.
Still the new Business Object in the model isn't visible under Case Management in de WebUI.
Could anyone tell me if I'm missing something or is there a config guide available how to add more business objects?
Looking forward to your replies.
Kind regards,
Joost Christenhusz

BI report tools VS Business Object

Hi Gurus,
I would like to understand differences between reporting capabilities in NW2004S-BI and Business Object. Do you have any document or link ?
And about SAP licences ? If I install BO over BW must I pay for all users in any case or I must pay only for Administrator users ?
I will assign points for all valuable answers. Thank you in advance.
Ciao.
Riccardo.

Riccardo,
Crystal reports is not supported with NW04s...
please visit
www.service.sap.com/businessobjects
same is mentioned here also :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/879d55d1695918e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
reproducing the message from the support portal :
SAP and Business Objects have decided to end the area of their partnership that relates to formatted reporting for BI by mutual consent. This will be effective as of the end of September. The software partnership with Business Objects and their Powered by SAP NetWeaver status are not affected.
the reseller agreement ended on September 30th, 2006
existing customers will still be able to get updates/upgrades (new releases) without additional costs as long as the number of cpu's/named users stays as is
for releases newer than Business Objects XI Release 1 the software delivery process has changed
SAP itself does not provide these new releases through the SAP service marketplace but forwards such requests to Business Objects
Business Objects triggers the shipment (or provides access to its download area) and takes also care for the license key provisioning if needed
for future requests please use csn (xx-part-crr)
