Monitoring and Alerting tools for Business Object Data Integrator
Hi,
We have Business Objects DI installed in AIX 5.3 environment. Please advise any type of monitoring and alerting tools for DI.
Monitor tools to monitor Job servers(like job service and web services running properly) and also to monitor long running extraction jobs and alerting the same. Thanks.
Thanks.
Raj.
Hi Thomas
Though both the tools objectives are for Data integration, the purpose for both tools are different.
SAP BODS/ BOBJ Data Integrator is an ETL tool which involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of the data
SAP PI is a Middleware/EAI tool which have a mechanism/technology that connects different parts of an application or a series of applications
SAP BOBJ Data Integrator
Bulk Data Integration
Extraction Transformation and Loading
Deals of huge volume of data
SAP PI
It is process based integration of application data
It is a middle ware which integrates various project applications into a common programming package that can be operate/access as a single application
SAP NetWeaver PI is SAP’s implementation of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware and facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies.
SAP PI uses SAP NetWeaver Application Server and message servers where in fail over cases the messages can be resent again.
The below differences will gives you more clarity
Verdict is we can use both the tools for data transfer/migration and for choosing the tool depends upon the business requirement
Please reply back if you need more information.

Is there a Business Objects Data Integrator API / SDK to "execute" DI jobs?
Hello,
I am searching for a Business Objects Data Integrator API / SDK that can be used to remotely execute BOBJ DI jobs (like in scheduling BOBJ XI docs).
I found AdapterSDK from BOBJ DI but this is used to create adapters usable with DI (for various sources and targets). I am interested only in executing an already created job...
Thank you in advance,
Adrian MitricaYou'll probably be better off posting here:
[SAP Community Network Forums » Enterprise Information Management » Data Integration and Quality Management|
I'm just going by the description of the forum but that looks better than this one(?):
This forum is dedicated to topics related to Data Integration (Data Integrator, Data Federator, Text Analysis for Data Integrator, Rapid Marts, and Integration for PeopleSoft Enterprise), Data Quality (Data Quality and Data Insight), and Metadata Management.
I'd move your thread but I do not have the rights to do this move...
Good luck,

Service Packs and Fix Packs for Business Objects XI Release 2
Hi,
How can I know wich services pack or fix packs are installed on my server? I have installed Business Objects XI Release 2, and Xcelsius 2008 Release 2, and Live Office.
Do you know where can I download a spreedsheet that contains informatiion about the fix packs or service packs and the issues that solved??
Thanks
LiliaYour first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues. -
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
NicHi 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.

VoIP Monitoring and Management Tools
Does anyone have suggestion on VoIP monitoring and management tools for large enterprise voip infrastructure?
We are in the final phase of 8000 phone cut-over across 2 location (2clusters) and need some advice on choosing the right monitoring system.
I saw Qovia have Cisco approved monitoring tools.
Does anyone ever use this? any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance
Bonaldi KresnantoBonaldi,
Monitoring voice quality is just one aspect of ongoing operations. It is equally (if not more) important to have the ability to remotely troubleshoot end-user problems, manage configuration changes, and perform active testing on a regular basis before users are impacted.
In addition, whenever you make changes to your IPT system (e.g. CallManager upgrades/patches, IOS upgrades, power outages) you'll definitely want the ability to verify the system is still operating as design. Using the active tests you can do this easily and in an automated fashion.
ClarusIPC Operations is the only product that addresses these needs. It is also just as valuable during the deployment as ongoing operations to help you make changes and deploy new phones with the same product you day-to-day.
I'd like to talk to you more about the product and how it can be used in your environment.

GUI data extraction tool for business users
Hi,
I am looking for recommendations for a business user tool to easily extract data from an Oracle database. Our requirements are:
- a user-friendly GUI point-and-click tool that will allow users to select columns, aggregations and filters and will automatically generate the SQL and retrieve a result set.
- will support free-form SQL as an alternative.
- can be hosted as a web application so that desktop install of software not required.
- supports unicode character sets.
- allows export of result set to Excel.
- the ability to save and/or share queries would be nice.
If you're familiar with Hummingbird's BI Query, something similar to this might do the trick. Graphs and charts are not required, we just need data retrieval.
Many thanks for your help,
PeterHi Peter,
- a user-friendly GUI point-and-click toolCrystal Reports (Business Objects), is very popular:

All,
I am trying to configure to ccms setup for Business Objects XI 3.1 but could not find right documentation specific to BO.
We need to monitor Tomcat, some of Bo server and also file systems.
Have anyone done anything with CCMS on BO ?
Thanks in Advance for the help !
RajI don't know about CCMS and BO.
But if you need to monitor BO, you can use the probes.
You have to create an automation process yourself.
I created a console app in .net that runs the probes every 15 minutes and sends me an email everytime there 's an error.
The probes are really easy to use and install.
The output files can be used with TIvoli or other monitoring tool.

EWA for Business Objects (XI 3.1) within SAP Solution Manager
Hello!
We use Business Objects (XI 3.1) and would like to get weekly a EWA report within our SAP Solution Manager.
Our SAP Solution Manger has only ABAP stack and it has the SPS version 25.
We also do not use Wily Introscope/Diagnostics and E2E tools within SAP Solution Manager.
Question
Is it possible to set up EWA for Business Objects with our requirements (SOLMAN with ABAP stack and without E2E/Diagnostics tools)?Hello,
The short answer is no. You can verify this in SAP Note 1507629 - Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager.
"...1.) Managed System Setup
Perform the Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as
described in the "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup
Guide". This guide can be found in the SAP Service Market Place:
-> http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
-> Navigate to the "Media Library"
-> Open the document "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide"
Please ensure that you perform all steps mentioned in the guide which
are relevant for your product and version. Please read also SAP note
1357901, which is also referred to in the above mentioned setup guide."
So this is a requirement. There are also pdf documetns attached to this note that describe how to setup the EWA in Solution Manager. EGI_SBOP_EWA_part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_part2.pdf.
The fact you have no Java stack and have not installed Diagnostics, just means it has not been done. It can be done and then you can do a managed system setup, and the balance of tasks required to prepare the system and Solution manager to generate EWA reports for the BOE system. Its just more work, not a show stopper.

Question of Business Object Data Service
hi Expert,
Now we are doing project for CRM integration to BODS (Business object Data Service).
There is business request for deduplicate check whole CRM Business partner data base.
The data quantity is 10Million and most of them are consumer role, we prefer to clean up the BP data via BODS and in CRM we use standard account merge functionality.
but I not sure whether BODS support deduplicate check for 10M consumer and how to do it?
Is there any one had experience or idea for this request?
Br.
William.Sure DS can do that, no doubt about it. But before starting, I recommend you to carefully read the Match Consolidate Transform wiki page. Pay special attention to the setting of the BREAK_KEY that will have a significant impact on the performance and throughput of the matching process.

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?
Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
MariusAll Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts
