We are currently using Business Object v5.6.1 and DB2 v8. As support of DB2 v8 is ending by May2011, we need to upgrade to DB2 v9.1
Can DB2 v9.1 compatible with Business Object v5.6.1?
Thank you for your answer

Hi Antonio,
DB2 v9.1 is not supported with Business Objects v5.1.2.

  • Installing Business Objects XI R2 on the same server (LPAR) multiple times

    Greetings!
    My goal is to create "multiple" Business Objects XI R2 instances on a single AIX LPAR, so that I might have up to 8 Business Objects environments.  Each environment would be be used to promote reports through test and eventually production.  Yes, I know 8 environments is a lot, they won't necessarily be running simultaneiously.  We do want 8 environments, with 8 CMS databases all separated.
    I belive there are two possibilities:
    1.  I can create 8 separate Business Objects installs, each in their own separate directory structure, each install owned by a different user.  Each installation would use a separate set of ports statically bound to each service that needs to be accessed over a firewall (like CMS, inputFRS, outputFRS,...). 
    2.  Run a single installation of Business Objects and keep sepaarate CMS databases and repositories.   I doubt this would work as I've only been able to find configurations for clustering, in which all CMS servers use the SAME CMS database.  Is this option even possible?
    Does anybody have any similar experiences using AIX?  I have already attempted getting a second install running (option #1) but so far I've not been able to keep the second environement's CMS server running using statically-bound ports.  They will, however, run simultaneously on the second install without statically binding the ports.
    Server details:
    IBM AIX 5.3 TL-08
    Business Objects XI R2 SP4
    CMS database - IBM DB2 9.1.4
    Reporting database - IBM InfoSphere 9.5
    Server separated by clients via firewall
    Users will access Infoview, some access w/Crystal Reports XI
    Thanks for your consideration,
    Sean Boone

    Thanks for the replies everyone!
    I've gotten the two environments running but the CMC from one environment is trying to control the CMC from the other.  For example, I have added the two installations to a single machine and set them up as follows:
    boadmin - userid of "first" environment
    boadminf - userid of "second" environment
    CMS #1:  boenv:6400
    Tomcat ports:  8080, 8443, 8005 (std)
    CMS #2: boenv:5500
    Tomcat ports:  5905, 1720, 1731
    So when I login to the CMC on CMS #1 and check "Settings" I see the database alias that I expect.  When I logout and then login to the second CMS I see the same CMS database alias.  In other words, they are both using the same database.  However when I run the "cmsdbsetup.sh" command, it shows the correct alias for each environment.
    My only thought at this point might be that since the daemons were given default names I'm going to see the same "service names" even though they are controlled via a separate name server. 
    Any clues as to what might be the cause here?
    Thanks again!

  • Does Business Object need BW?

    Hi experts,
    Does anyone know if SAP will eventually fully leverage Business Object's Universe and Data cleansing functionalities and get rid of BW down the road?  Based on some powerpoint presentation, it seems like Business Object can work without BW.  Does anyone have any insight on this?
    Thanks
    Nancy

    BOBJ tools can connect to several different data sources types.  Your persistent layer can be in Oracle, DB2, MS Sql server , Teradata, Excel, MS Access etc. Some of the tools even allow you to use more generic connectors like OLE DB, web services, JDBC or ODBC.
    IN addition to reporting tools BOBJ offers tools to load your persistent layer (ETL).

  • Scheduling Options(CMC)/ Business Objects Xir2

    Environment spec:
    Aix 5.3
    Business Objects Xir2
    Crystal reports Xi
    DB2
    Tomcat
    Whilst scheduling a report from the CMC, there is a 'Schedule For' tab
    I am trying to determine how this option works, whilst scheduling for a selected group/users.
    I have reviewed the relevant documentation in the Business Objects Administrators guides in reference to this including Xi, XiR2 and XiR3/3.1.
    There is no clear definition.
    I asked this question, as we are trying to determine if whilst using this option does BO execute the query and then filter data according to each group/user  OR execute the query for each specific user/group. If the latter is the case then this will have a big impact on our environment resources.
    unfortunately we have reach EOL for Business Objects XiR2 so tech support will no longer advise us.
    If anyone can provide us with any insight or direction this will be greatly appreciated
    Many thanks

    HI,
    Option u2018Schedule foru2019 is generally used when you want schedule  the reports on behalf of other users such that when underlying queries hit the database, they use the useru2019s id and pull the data based on his authorization over the data.
    With SAP BW as backend, the impact can easily be seen where a report will show different dataset if run for two different sap user who different data access. Same should be the case with other databases as well.
    Thanks,

  • Data federator in  business objects

    Hi,
    What is the use of data federator in business objects.
    Regards,
    G

    HI,
    The only option in this case is to 1) use Business Objects' Data Federator to bring XYZ data and BW (new) data together, 2) creating a relational universe, and 3) creating Crystal / WEBI reports using the relational universe; see Picture 1.
    >> You can also combine the data by using a MultiProvider in BW which is access the data in BW and the data in the legacy system and an additional alternative is to move all the data into BW.
    After 20 years goes by, and we no longer need to report on data housed in XYZ anymore, the environment will be turned off.
    1) When this happens, wouldn't we want to remove Data Federator and the relational universe from the scenario ?
    >> That depends on the approach you took

  • SAP Log on into Business Objects server not working (Error FWB 00014)

    Hello,
    I recently installed Business Objects XI 3.1 Edge series, I am able to logon to enterprise and everything is working fine. I am even able to import roles from SAP system but I have two problems.
    1. Logging on to enterprise using SAP user: I am getting the following error message when I choose SAP in the Athentication and enter SAP username and password and click log on.
    "Account Information Not Recognized: All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses. (FWB 00014)".
    2. Logging on to SAP system through SAP Logon pad: When I enter my username and passord in SAP system from the same server as I installed BusinessObjects I am getting a run time error.
    Did any one of you had the same problem or does any one of you have any clue how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I assume that you have a key for named licences (You can check this in the CMC under Licence keys).
    What you need to do is to go in the CMC, navigate to Authentication->SAP->Options and select the Named users option.

  • What is the diffrence between BAPI and RFC and business object

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody tel me what is the diffrence between RFC and BAPI , and also what is ther relation with business object?
    Thanx in advance.
    Nilesh Hiwale

    Hi,
    BAPI's are associated with Business Objects and also they are RFC enabled.
    But RFC's are the FM's which can be called from external systems, those FM's can be used in many places based on the applications..
    Check these Links
    whats the difference between BAPI and RFC??

  • BI-IP and Business Objects?

    Please refer to the thread:
    BI-IP and Business Objects?

    Ian,
    reading through the messages, there seem to be a few questions that are raised.  After attending SAP Financials 2008, here is what I got from it:
    1. IP vs BPC:  IP is still in production and will be developed (no commitment on time though.  I was told somewhere between 18-24 months before it goes to maintenance mode).  There is some functionality difference from BPC and right now these are two separate products.  There is a talk of a possible integration in the "distant" future
    2. BPC is in process of being developed for BI, but currently it is only running on top of Microsoft SQL server. The BI version is slated to be released June 28th, but majority of the experts are fairly pessimistic about that date.
    Now, the main question is what will happen to IP when BEx and BO tools converge into one - based on my understanding, we are going to see ADDITIONAL functionality.  Since all the WAD and Excel activities are based on BEx API's, it is highly unlikely that they are going to be dismissed in the new product.  The process in which we assign functions/commands to the planning model might change, but I think only for the best

  • How to WorkDay() Excel Function in Business Objects Web Intelligence 12.2.7

    Hi,
    I am calculating OTD SLA metrics using the Business Object Web Intelligence, but I am stuck with the WorkDay() how to use this in BO, as it is available in Excel.  Requirement is that I need to add business days (Saturdays and Sundays should not be considered) to a particular date. Greatly appreciate if some one can help me immediately as this is high priority right now and need to complete it <REMOVED_BY_MODERATOR>. Thank you, Shiv.   Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: Pravender on Nov 22, 2010 11:18 AM

    Thank you for trying to reply.
    What exactly I need is that:
    Example:
    11/19/2010  +  3  this should give me the date 11/24/2010 which is actually  excluding Sat and Sun and adding only the business days to the date.
    Please provide me full formula
    Thanks in advance, Shiv

  • Values from Structure used in Form to be transferred to a Business Object

    Hello,
    I have defined a structure (zcsks) in the workflow container. This structure is used in two forms (Change and Approve).
    With the approval (button pressed on approve form) the data entered in the structure zcsks has to be transferred to the business object ZBUS0012 in the workflow container, so that the business object method CREATE can be executed automatically.
    The values for the structure ZCSKS is already transferred from the form to the workflow container automatically.
    My question now is how I can transfer values from ZCSKS to ZBUS0012 and execute its method CREATE automatically ?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello,
    "Value of expression '&_WI_OBJECT_ID.COSTCENTER&' cannot be used as the target of an assignment"
    This is because you are trying to assign a value to an attribute of the main object of a workflow (_WI_OBJECT_ID).
    That won't work. I thought you meant you had an object in the workflow container and wanted to
    instantiate that.
    When the workflow is created the main object is already instantiated so you can't change it.

  • Performance issue with Business Objects Java JRC API in CRXI R2 version

    A report is developed using java JRC API in CR XI release 2. When I generate the report in the designer, it took less than 5 seconds to display the results in crystal report viewer inside the designer. But in the QA environment, when I generate the same report from the application, it takes almost 1 to 1.5 minutes to display the same results in PDF. I also noticed that if the dataset contains bigger volume of data, then the reports are taking even longer almost 15 to 20 minutes.
    While generating the report from the application, I noticed that most of time is taken during the execution of the com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportExportControl Object method as shown in following line of code
    exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, context, null)
    We thought the delay in exporting the report to PDF might be the layout of the report and data conversion to PDF for such a bigger volume of data.
    Then we investigated the issue and experimented quickly to generate the same report with same result set data from the application using XML, XSL and converted the output XSL-FO to PDF using Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) implementation. The time taken to export the report to PDF is less than 6 seconds. By doing this experiment, it is proved that the issue is not with conversion of data to PDF but it is the performance problem with Business Objects Java JRC API in CR XI R2.
    In this regard, I searched for the above issue in the SAP community Network Forums -> Crystal Reports and Xcelsius -> Java Development -> Crystal Reports. But I did not find any answers or solutions for this kind of issue in the forums.
    Any suggestion, hint in this matter is very much appreciated.

    Ted, The setReportAppServer problem is resolved. Now I could able to generate the report with hardcoded values in the SQLs in just 6 seconds where as the same report was generated in CRXI R2 in 1 minute 15 seconds as mentioned in the earlier message.
    But, our exisiting application passes the parameter values to the SQLs embedded in the report. For some reason the parameters are not being passed to the report and the report displays only the labels without data.
    As per the crj 12 samples codes, the code is written as shown below.
    1. Created ReportClient Document
    2. SetReportAppServer
    3. Open the report
    4. Getting DatabaseController and switching the database connection at runtime
    5. Then setting the parameters as detailed below
    ParameteFields parameterFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
    parameterFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "paramname",paramvalue);
    parameterFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "paramname",paramavalue);
    byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF); 
    6. Streaming the report to the browser
    Why the parematers are not being passed to the report?  Do I need to follow the order of setting these parameters?  Did I miss any line of code for setting Params using  crj 12?
    Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

  • BAPIs or Function Modules for Links between different Business Objects

    Hi experts,
    I am accessing an SAP CRM 5.0 system from outside via remote function calls.
    I have the GUID of a business partner and would like to find other business objects
    that are related to this business partner.
    For example:
    - Which activities are relevant for this business partner?
    - Which orders were placed by this business partner?
    - Which leads or opportunities are linked to this business partner?
    - Which products did this business partner order?
    Is it possible to get this information by calling BAPIs or other RFC function modules?
    Regards,
    Karsten

    After studying lots of documentation and trying to understand the BOL and GenIL concepts,
    I finally found a function module which meets my demands. With function module
    CRM_GENIL_GET_QUERY_RESULT you can execute a Search Object of the GenIL,
    and it is remote-enabled.
    By checking transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER and choosing component set "ALL"
    you get a list of all defined Search Objects. The Search Object that finds all orders of a
    business partner is "BTQuery1O".
    DATA gt_parameter_list TYPE crmt_name_value_pair_tab.
    DATA gs_parameter_list TYPE crmt_name_value_pair.
    DATA gt_data_hdr       TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_hdr.
    DATA gt_data_attr      TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_attr.
    DATA gt_data_rels      TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_rel.
    DATA gt_data_rel_obj   TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_rel_obj.
    gs_parameter_list-name  = 'BP_NUMBER'.
    gs_parameter_list-value = '4000000011'.
    APPEND gs_parameter_list TO gt_parameter_list.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_GENIL_GET_QUERY_RESULT'
      EXPORTING
        iv_query_name                = 'BTQuery1O'
        it_parameter_list            = gt_parameter_list
      TABLES
        et_data_hdr                  = gt_data_hdr
        et_data_attr                 = gt_data_attr
        et_data_rels                 = gt_data_rels
        et_data_rel_obj              = gt_data_rel_obj
      EXCEPTIONS
        error_occured                = 1
        OTHERS                       = 2.
    Before you can use the function module, you have to call function module CRM_GENIL_INIT
    to initialize the GenIL.

  • Business object type for parked invoices

    Hi,
    We are using documentum to store documents that have been attached to business object types in SAP. The business object types are configured in transaction OAC3 to point to a pre-configured content repository.
    Having this configuration allows the object type to use the "services for objects" option, enabling it to store attachments.
    The business object types for invoices have been configured and we are able to store attachments. However this does not seem to work for "Parked invoices". The configuration in the "services for objects" component is not there and the feature to store the attachment is disabled.
    As the configuration needs to be done for all object types that need to be able to store attachments, maybe someone here can indicate what the object type is for parked invoices. Alternatively, maybe there is a way to look up the various business object types.
    Any help you can provide is appreciated.
    Thanks.
