Importing of "Business Objects" universes to BI EE

Hello,
Does anyone know ways how migrate Business Objects universes to BI EE business layer? Are there possibilities automate this?

I believe there is none as of now. Rather than an automating utility, since most of the conversion utilities will have some amount of limitations, i believe there are some consulting services available within and outside Oracle. One of the main reasons for this is it requires careful planning to do the conversion. The way BOBJ and OBI EE work are different.
Thanks,
Venkat

BI Publisher & Business Objects Universes Database

Does anyone know if it is possible for BI Publisher to hook into Business Objects Universes data? JDBC drivers?
We would like to import all our Crystal Reports into BI Publisher but a lot of them are written across the "Business Objects" BI database.

There is information to converting Crystal Reports to BIP Publishers

Business Objects universe Create disabled In SAP Data Services

Hi ,
I am trying to to create Business Objects Universe from SAP Data Services . But create and update options are disabled. I have the Information design tool and SAP Data services on the same machine .
Please see the below screenshot.
Please help me any settings I have to change to get enabled.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Hello Venkata Ramana Pandi,
As Manoj Dhyani mention in the above thread, try changing it into CWM format and give it a try.
Follow the below steps:
Export the DS datastore in CWM format, select the datastore and enter a XML file name
Open the Universe Builder (this option will be in BOE Program menu), you have a option in Universe Builder to import XML exported from Data Services/Data Integrator, check if that creates your Universe successfully
to use Metadata Exchange do the following
Open Data Services Desginer
Click on tools Menu -> Metadata Exchange
In the Metadata Exchange window
Select Export Data Services metadata to a file
Select DI CWM as metadata format
enter location for xml file (C:\temp)
Select the datastore you want to create Universe for
Click OK
Check for file named repo_export.xml in the C:\temp folder or the folder that you specified
Open Universe Builder and Select
Data Integrator bridge
and use the xml file as input to create universe

Requirements and Architecture for Business Objects Universe

Hi - apologies in advance for the probable repeat question but a search of the forums brought back an overload of information that wasn't quite specific enough.
We are about to purchase an application that comes with a Business Objects Universe but we've been told that we'll need to sort out our own licensing for the Client/Server side of its use.
I've done a lot of work with Crystal Reports in the past but having read up on Business Objects it appears that either the Desktop Intelligence of Web Intelligence clients are designed for the reporting facilities in BO.
Basically, the question is what exactly do we need to run reports from the BOU across the company AND what server architecture is required/recommended for the same?
As I see it, the BOU is the equivalent of an ORM layer in software development. This would mean we'd have:
DATABASE
UNIVERSE
REPORTING CLIENT
...where the reporting client allowed the development and distribution of reports based on the specific licences purchased. However the reporting client wouldn't be Crystal Reports - is that correct?
Also is there any ballpark figure for the server and client licence costs? Assuming 5 developers and up to 300 users (although it may only be management needing viewer access so possibly only a dozen users on top of the developers in that case).
I've tried to work this out for myself but there seems to be a lot of confusion around what is Business Objects (the product) and who Business Objects the company are and where Crystal fits in with everything.
For a bog-standard implementation of a BOU what is absolutely necessary?
Thanks
Nic

Hi Nic,
As you've described Universe is a meta data layer in between Database and Reporting Layer. You could create reports using Desktop Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Web Intelligence Rich Client and even Crystal Reports. DeskI, WebI Rich, Crystal Reports do require client installations and you have an added advantage of using local data sources like excel and create reports. WebI also creates reports but you don't need any separate client installer for it.
For the ball park figure I'd contact Sales Team...
Your question regarding what is absolutely necessary, there are lot more things need to be taken into consideration like below
1) What are the repeorting needs at a little detailed level?
How would it help: Though there are several reporting tools for users and their reporting needs, it helps in deciding on which of the reporting tools should be the prime ones. Like WebI can be used as Adhoc Reporting Tool once you design your universe.
2) Where would you want these reports to be deployed or on what portal do you want to see reports?
How would it help: It helps in deciding what should be the presentation layer for the reports and how it should be designed. Business Objects has InfoView portal that comes default where you can deploy DeskI, WebI, Crystal Reports. Or if you need to use an existing sharePoint portal you'd need Integration with Sharepoint software.
3) Do you need ETL tools to load your data?
How would it help: It helps in making recommendation on ETL process and if Business Objects Data Integrator is suitable for the scenario
Hope this would help.

Vijay

Business Objects Universe generator

Hello,
We came across an interesting scenario and was hoping to hear from other with smiliar situation. In a SAP-BW and BO environment using Business Object Universe generator, it appears that BO requires direct data base connectivity to read data from BW. This to me sounded quite weird due to audit requirements and other compliance issues. Was wondering if there was anyother way for accessing BW data from BO.
The primary issue with ODBO from BO to BW was the limitations on the result rows that can be returned. The way forward seemed to be directly database access with a generic read only user.
Anyother ideas? Has this changed over time with BO-XI.
Any ideas appreciated?
Regards
Karthik

Hi,
Thanks you for submitting your post, I would like to take this opportunity to reply your post, I do not have experience in BO 5.x, 6.x but I can explain you to understand how it work in BOE XI/XI R2.
In XI/XI R2 we use an RFC connection (MDX driver, which makes BAPI, SAP API calls) to SAP BW to obtain the details of the BW Query or Info Cube for building the Universe using the XI/XIR2 Business Objects designer application. The request for the query or cube details is done VIA BAPI function calls. For the SAP BW Query we must have allow External Access to this query checked under the Query Property window.
Our Integrated Solution Kits do not access the SAP BWs data source.

Business Objects Universe Builder

Please share if anybody has Business Objects Universe Builder Experience with BO XI R2.Regards,Padmakara

I met this error before and I think this may be caused by the version of BO universal builder and Oracle database can not match.

Looking for a Business Objects Universe built for OIM

My company has Business Objects and Management prefers to do reporting using the BO product. Also adding reports to OIM requires several database changes and a redeploy to push out the label changes, and that causes the skitters with Management. We have a team that is looking at creating a BO Universe for the OIM database, but as you know, a lot of display transformation work is done in the Java WebApp and that would need to be modeled in the SELECTs in the Universe.
Does anyone have a BO Universe already built for OIM?

Business Objects Universes generation

Hi everyone,
We wish to install and use Web Intelligence (Business Objects Enterprise Premium). I understand that Web Intelligence requires universes and that they can be generated via Universe Designer or Universe Builder. With these tools, we can generate a universe using the metadata from the source (BW from example).
1. Is having the metadata available at the source a requirement to generate a universe? If not, what are the other options available? Best practices?
2. Is there an integration with Metadata Management? If yes, what's SAP's flagship product for metadata management? Where can I get more info on the subject?
Thank you very much for all your help,
Nathalie

A lot of your questions about SAP Business Objects tools and applications can be found at
1) Go to the [SAP Help Portal|http://help.sap.com].
2) On the top light gray navigation bar, select SAP BusinessObjects.
3) On the top dark gray navigation bar, select All Products.
4) Select the product and version from the dropdown boxes.
Web Intelligence and Universe Designer have separate documentation, even though they're part of the SAP Business Objects Enterprise suite of products.
1. Is having the metadata available at the source a requirement to generate a universe? If not, what are the other options available? Best practices?
In order to create/maintain a Universe in Universe Designer, you have to have a connection to the database or infrastructure where the data being used for reporting resides (e.g. SAP BW or SAP Business Objects Rapid Marts), thereby exposing the source tables for use in a Universe. Metadata isn't required for creating/maintaining Universes in Universe Designer. For Universe Builder, however, metadata or Oracle Analytic Services are required to create Universes.

[Universe Builder XI 3.1 Reference Guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_universe_builder_guide_en.pdf]
2. Is there an integration with Metadata Management? If yes, what's SAP's flagship product for metadata management? Where can I get more info on the subject?
SAP Business Objects Metadata Management XI 3.1 supports metadata sourcing from SAP SAP BW 7.0. This is now considered the "flagship" metadata management tool for SAP.

Error during import of business object BOREPMA (crystal reports)

Dear Colleagues,
we have a problem with importing of crystal reports into productive system,
export works fine - I get .car files, but import finished with error : "Error occurred in data conversion".
We could not find any reason for this error..... may be someone had same issue in the past?
How can I check what happens in background during import?
Thank you very much for response

Hi Nick,
our problem is following: we changed *existing crystal report* on development workstation, and trying to import to q-workstation, as it was not possible, we made changes on q-workstation and trying to import to productive-workstation. We don't have crystal report designer on productive workstation and it is a reason why we can not create new report with same name as you suggested (on productive workstation).
In general, how should crystal reports be transferred between different systems (development, test,, productive) if you have crystal report designer only on development system? We think the export-import function can do this, but there is a data conversion error.... OSS message is created since 9 month, we don't get really solution from SAP...
Did you had the same problem or you have crystal report designer on productive workstation and can change coding there?
Thank you very much
Best rehgards

Passing parameters to oracle stored procedure in business objects universe

Hello,
Wanted to create a web intelligence usind oracle stored procedure.
Create the following SP
create or replace procedure proc_name1
    proc_freq in number,
    proc_cur1 in out sys_refcursor
as
begin
    INSERT INTO
            cc    VALUES
            ( 'Frequency Value = ' || proc_freq, SYSDATE) ;
    COMMIT ;
    --daily
        if(proc_freq = 2) then
        open proc_cur1 for SELECT
                    EVENT_DATE
                FROM rqm_mapsigng_dly_stats;
        end if;
end;
tried using the above SP in universe, it is needed to pass the parameter for proc_freq, when i pass value 2 , in oracle it is passed as 0(is being traced in rqm_checkpoint table)
Hence the table cannot be inserted in the universe.
Can anyone tell why the value is not being passed correctly

I believe when you're doing it with an insert, you're saying "execute this insert statement a bunch of times, here's all the values in advance", which is different than passing an array to a stored procedure where you want it to execute once.
Oracle's ODBC driver doesnt support Associative Arrays (aka index-by tables).
Hope it helps,
Greg
