About Business object

hi experts ,
what is the primary and secondary methods in Business objects?.
and what are the primary and secondary methods?
if helpful points ll be rewarded.
thanks,
vel

There are no primary and secondary methods in BOR objects. All methods are equal. However, you may have secondary methods in a step of a workflow, and you can read more about that <a href="http://help.sap.com/">here</a>.
The Wiki that was created by Mike Pokraka for <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/sapBusinessWorkflow+FAQ">SAP Business Workflow FAQ</a> (Frequently Asked Questions) is also a good place to start, although not necessarily for this particular question. There you can at least learn a little about the basics, preparing you to explore a little on your own before asking here.

Get information about business object from view implementation class

Hi,
i´d like to develop some button behavior in a view. How can i get the information of the related business object like the order or the position. I like to disable buttons if specific status are set.
Bye Richard

hi,
Is needed field available in context nodes or not?
for example:
If you want to read STATUS_DESCR attribute from the context node SELECTEDDOC , then code like this
lr_selected ?= me->typed_context->SELECTEDDOC->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
if lr_selected is bound.
lv_status = lr_selected->get_property_as_string( 'STATUS_DESCR' ).
endif.
activtae the debugging in IF_BSP_WD_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK~GET_BUTTONS method and check the values for context nodes and attributes.
I mean debugging for:
me->typed_context
me->typed_context->SELECTEDDOC

Need toughts on approach. Client moving to Maconomy/Business Objects

Post Author: klokhammer
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi.On of our important clients are most likely to migrate between economy systems within the next 9 months. Case as follows:
We have developed a budgeting/forecast and reporting system for a certain market/company. The solution is based on a Microsoft SQL 2000 database/server with Microsoft Access as application interface. The solution is integrated and gets actual figures from the economy system Aspect on a IBM iSeries (AS400) system. The "edge" of the system lies in sophisticated budgeting/forecast routines, the report module is rather poor....
The client is now most likely to migrate to Maconomy as the new economy system, and Maconomy AnalytiX as the new BI system (which I understand uses Business Objects.)
We are new to Business Objects and need general recommendations on what level we should try to integrate on. Should we "ditch" all the development done in Access and build a new solutions through Business Objects, keeping all the business logics, but not the interface?
Should we try to integrate on a database level, keeping the interface in Access (for budgeting/forecast), and exporting data into Business Objects to allow reporting through Maconomy AnalytiX?
As you most likely have understood, my knowledge about Business Objects are pretty poor. But please try to give me your thoughts on how we should move along, and what kind of "standard" considerations we must have in mind.
Kind regardsklokhammer

klokhammer,
I checked out Macanomy's web site and searched for references to Business Objects, and sure enough it is mentioned here and there. What it sounds like is that Macanomy has developed some "Macanomy Standard Reports" using BusObjects, so if you want these nifty Macanomy reports available to you, you buy the Macanomy product, which is bundled w/ BusObjects, and voila you have the reports. It sounds like a winning strategy. On the other hand, in order to get this type of capability, an organization would have to hire a staff to purchase and install Business Objects, then the staff would have to understand the financial database that the client has established and populated, and then the staff would have to set about building the reports that are needed. With Macanomy, it seems that you get the whole kit and kaboodle in one swoop, which is good for an organization providing that it is on the same wave-length as Macanomy. In regards to your question about what to do with your existing infrastructure, this is a call only you and your client can make. In IT, it's always about the data and how it is used. Peeling back the onion a bit, the process works like this: in order for the Macanomy reports to work, the report must be properly built and it must read from a "universe", which is a BusObjects term for defining the interface between the user and the database (the meta data process). In order for the universe to exist, it must be built by a "Universe Designer". The Universe Designer must have an intracate knowledge of how every table in the database will be used to support the reports that the end-user wants to have (either pre-canned (standard) or ad hoc capability). The database is still a critical piece, and reviewing the Macanomy offering I have a funny feeling that they come in with their own database structure and universe, which makes their process a much quicker install. The downside, as it appears to me, is how you would migrate your existing data into the Macanomy structure (this goes back to the two parties being on the same wavelength). I think in your case it's going to be a matter of ditching your database structure in MS SQL 2000 and Access, and adopting the Macanomy structure, but this may be more painful to do than any one at this point realizes. It sounds like you need to continue arming yourself with knowledge before making any final decisions. Good luck, and perhaps keep all of us posted on your experiences.

Business Object and SAP Integration

We've BOJ Data Services XI installed.
Would like to integrate with SAP, does anyone know how or have good information about Business Object and SAP Integration?
Please adivce.

Hi Lynn,
If you need to have Business Objects and SAP work together in conjunction you need to have the Business Objects Integration Kit for SAP. Integration Kit provides the database drivers and other features for reporting off SAP.

Business Objects, Value Objects and more

Hey,
I've got a general question about business objects (aka entity objects or data transfer objects). The scenario I am using is not one of my own, but it might be a future one. Thus, I'd really appreciate all feedback.
Let's say that i've got a desktop application which purpose is to manage personal DVD collections. Shortly explained, what i would do here is to create a class Dvd to represent a physical DVD. Then i would create the classes DvdServices and DvdDao. The DvdServices class is what my application will use to retrive and store Dvd instances, and takes care of all session and transaction handling. The DvdDao class is where all database communication takes place. This class will only be used by the DvdServices class.
Now, say that i would want to keep things simple and use the same business object both in the front end and the back end (yes, i'm using Hibernate). That is, the Dvd instances returned by the DvdServices class is the ones i also would like to use in my GUI. This is where i start to get a little uncertain about best practice.
Let us say that i use an instance of a Dvd to present some information about a dvd to the user. However, the user would not only like to see what's already stored about that dvd - but also edit some details related to it (such as the title, description or the like). What i would do here (to support editing), is to modify the Dvd class so that it holds a DvdAttributes object which contains all its editable values like title and description (in other words, the state - except for the id and a timestamp value). Thus, i also modify the DvdServices class and create a method called updateDvd(Dvd dvd, DvdAttributes attributes). The method updateDvd() in the DvdServices class, internally, makes a reference to the existing DvdAttributes, applies the new DvdAttributes to the Dvd instance, and tries to save it. If something goes wrong, transaction is rolled back, and the old DvdAttributes are applied to the Dvd class in order to reflect the state of the Dvd instance.I like to think of the Dvd instance as the business object, and the DvdAttributes instance as a related value object (the terminology is probably all wrong here?).
My question regarding all this is wether it "adheres" to what one might consider as "best practices" (if something like that exists in relation to this)? Could i do things smarter in this case? Is there something which does not make sense (always good to hear a second opinion!).
All feedback appreciated!

I don't believe a DTO would ever be considered a business object.

That is, the Dvd instances returned by the DvdServices class is the ones i also would like to use in my GUI. This is where i start to get a little uncertain about best practice.
It appears that 'Dvd' is in fact a DTO. Probably best to name it as such - DvdDto.
Let us say that i use an instance of a Dvd to present some information about a dvd to the user. However, the user would not only like to see what's already stored about that dvd - but also edit some details related to it (such as the title, description or the like).

As stated no.
Process flow would normally be like this.
Happy path (it worked)
1. Query - returns DvdDto
2. GUI - display DvdDto
3. Modify DvdDto
4. Update (send to server/backend) DvdDto
5. (Return - It worked.)
Sad path (it failed)
1. Query - returns DvdDto
2. GUI - display DvdDto
3. Modify DvdDto
4. Update (send to server/backend) DvdDto
5. Exception is thrown
6. (Return - It failed)
Step 6 is a bit ambigous because it depends on the user and the actual client/server relationship. It could be an exception, a message or just true/false (false is failed.)
In the above there is no step that corrects or alters the DvdDto instance that was thrown. One reason for this is that it might be a minot mistake on the users part and if you destroy everything they alread typed in they are not going to be happy.

Hi,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/59/ae4484488f11d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Business objects are real world entities modeled as objects in an information system.
Business objects encapsulate both data structures and the functions applied to the data, but hide their full complexity from other objects. This encapsulation of data and functions makes it easier to modify program components, because you can program with the relevant entities without having to know all the implementation details. You can also reuse existing functions.
WHat and where business objects can be useful ?
Client programs access business objects by reading their attributes, or by calling the methods that make up the objects interface:
Attributes
Attributes describe the data stored in an object through a set of properties. They provide direct read access to the data structures of objects, but client programs cannot change them from outside.
Methods
Methods provide a way to encapsulate the data structures of business objects, and to process them. When accessing an object, the client program calls a method with parameters and gets back return parameters.
Interface
The interface is the set of methods associated with a business object, and determines how an object interacts with the outside world.
The client program defines the object types to be used and, at runtime, creates object instances of those object types.
SAP business objects are managed in R/3's Business Object Repository (BOR).

Naveen.

How can we use business object (e.g. crystal report ) in webdynpro abap

Hi All,
We all know that business object has been part of sap products.
But even though in SAP, I really don't know much about business object.
and how can we use the great function of BO and integrate into our development to make
user have much better function and user experience.
Do we have some learning material of BO?
Could someone share some material here?
Thanks and Regards
Aaron.

One of the main ways that you can integrate some Business Objects content with WDA is via FlashIslands. If you are on 7.01 or higher, you have the option to use FlashIslands UI element. There are many tutorials on FlashIslands available on SDN. FlashIslands work well with Xcelsius content, since the output of Xcelsius is a Flex component. It is pretty easy to set the Xcelsius interface to External Connection and then write a wrapper Flex Component around the generated output, so that it can be used in the FlashIslands interface.
For Crystal Reports integration you will need NetWeaver 7.02 (comming early next year). We have integrated Crystal Reports as an output option in the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV and the Classic Dynpro ALV. You don't need to do any development to enable this. You can use two different SAP delivered Crystal Reports templates for the ALV output, or create and add your own templates.
Some of ther BOBJ integration is still in prototype and demo phase within SAP. For instance we have a data interface to send data to Explorer onDemand from any ABAP application. We have a prototype FlashIsland for WebI to run in place within Web Dynpro ABAP. Over future enhancement packages you will see increased integration opportunties with the BOBJ capabilites.

Need to use business objects with a project, please guide on basics.

Hi
Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
Here you can see half an hour Webinars that give you a good understanding of Business Objects:

What are the features of Business object.

Hi Experts,
Can any please give me brief idea about Business object which one will going implent into BI . and what are the features of Business object.
i will assign points if it is helpfull.
Regards
venu.

Hi,
Bussiness Object is the reporting tool of datawarehouse.BI is itself a data ware house.The next generation SAP BI will be using BO as reporting tool instead of BeX.BO is a Reporting tool. Presently we are using BI BEX tool for reporting. slowly BI BEX tool is replacing by BO.Use Netveawer and SAP BW for the Backend and Master data management or Use Data Integartor. For Front End Use BEX tools for QR$A or use the BO Suite.BO has many advantages over BEX tool like using BO we can creat crystal reports ets.
