Access 9i OLAP from Business objects

can anybody help me to access 9i OLAP from Business objects, by any document or demo or step by step instructions , as i'm new in this field
thank you

For testing and POC purposes you can access the bridge software here:
ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/UBSetup_For_Ora_10104.zip (please type the entire path including the file name, you cannot navigate through this location)
For users who are using the BO 6.5.1 in particular, they need to install the following patch, otherwise the created universe won't work:
ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/patch_bobj_651_HF_497.zip (necessary for BO 6.5.1 ONLY, do not install this patch for other BO versions )

Where can I find information on migrating from Business Objects 5 to XI R2?

We want to migrate several Business Objects implementations - some of which are Business Objects 5 and some Business Objects 6 to consolidate them into a XI R2 environment.
I have the document that describes migration from 6.x to XI R2 but what is the process for migrating from Business Objects 5. Do I need to migrate from 5 to 6 and then follow the 6.x to XI R2 migration?
Any pointers to additional hints and tips on migration or how to estimate how much effort is involved would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Following are the detailed steps for migration via Import Wizard:
1] Go to Start > Programs > Business Objects XI Release 2 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Import Wizard.
2] The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.
Setting source and destination environments:
3] In the Specify source environment dialog box, set the following:
u2022 Source: Business Objects Enterprise BO 6.5.x.
u2022User Name:
u2022 Password: visor
BOMain key
Note: Do not check the Import Application Foundation contents option since you are not performing Performance Management migration at this time.
Click Next.
4] The Warning page appears. Click Next.
Note: The source repository can store any file, not just supported agnostic documents. Since the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 architecture requires a plug-in for each file extension, it does not import unsupported files (for example, .zip files and as .svg documents used in corporate dashboards).
5] The Specify destination environment page appears. Set the:
u2022 Destination: Business Objects Enterprise BOXI R2
u2022 User Name:
u2022 Password:
u2022 Domain key file to: Default drive: \Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2
Click Next.
6] Select the types of objects you want to import in this stage of the importing process. At a later stage, you select the objects themselves.
u2022 Select the option u2018Import universes u2018.
Click Next.
7] Import options for universes and connections dialog box appears.
Select the third option: Import all the universes and connections that the selected Web Intelligence and Desktop Intelligence documents use directly.
8] The Please choose a merge scenario dialog box appears. Select I want to merge the source system to destination system and check the automatically rename top-level folders that match top-level folder on the destination system option.
Click Next.
9] The Incremental Import dialog box appears.
You may need to import some objects more than once from the source repository to the destination repository.
In this situation, you have the following update options:
u2022 Overwrite object contents
You select the types of objects for which the content overwrite applies:
u2022 Documents (including dashboards and analytics)
u2022 Universes
u2022 Connections
When you re-import an object, it will completely overwrite and replace the matching object (and its associated files) that you imported earlier.
u2022 Overwrite object rights
When you re-import an object, its associated security rights will overwrite the rights of the matching object you imported earlier.
If you decided not to import security in the Security Migration Options dialog box, then the Overwrite object rights option is not relevant, and is therefore not available.
If you don't select any overwrite options, the matching object in the destination repository will not change when you try to import it again.
Note: This dialog box appears only if you select update as the import scenario.
Click Next.
10] Select the specific universe
Click Next
11] Information Collection complete dialog box appears.
Click Finish
12] Import Progress dialog box appears.
Click Done
Hope this helps !!
Please revert in case of any queries.

SAPBI data accessing from Business objects and other OLAP tools

Hi,
We already have heavy usage of Business Object, Essbase and are planning to implement SAPBI 7.0
    a) We are planning to connect our existing Business
        Objects infrastructure onto the new SAPBI platform, Did
        You experience any issues such as performance,
        config issues, delays, web issues.. is there any
        document or link with steps involved in integrating
        Business objects and SAPBI
     b) Can Bex analyzer gives simliar functionalities that
        are in Essabse front- end (EXCEL), I know that the
        backend data managament is quite different, but my
        question is around user interface, do you have any
        comparisons between these two tools.
     c) Is it possible to get data from SAPBI using external
        reporting tools (OLAP) such as Oracle Discoverer ...

if the export to XML file is successful, the file will not be deleted if you are creating it from Metadata Exchange.
The file gets deleted in case you are using the create universe option and by default the file is created in %LINK_DIR%\log\MetadataExchange, you will also see ME_errorlog.txt and ME_outputlog.txt if there are any errors, do you see and erros in these files if you are creating the Universe directly from DS Designer ?
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

Error while accessing Method from Business Object

Hello Experts,
I have created a business object ZBUS7051 by using BUS7051 as a Supertype. I have crated a method GET_DATA in ZBUS7051. If I use BUS7051, Method GET_DATA in a standard task, getting a message that Method GET_DATA not defined for object type BUS7051.
Why I am getting this error? Is there way I can use BUS7051-GET_DATA instead of ZBUS7051-GET_DATA.
The workflow triggering event is BUS7051 u2013 CREATED. In the workflow binding, system is showing a warning that u2018Conversion from BO.BUS7051 to BO.ZBUS7051 can cause data-related errorsu2019. How to fix this? Please let me know.
- Krishna.

Thanks to everyone.
I have delegated the custom business object to super type BO 7051. I triggered the workflow using T.Code: SWUE, BO: BUS7051. Event: CREATED. But the workflow is resulted an error as given below.
Problems occurred when generating a mail
Error '9' when calling service 'SO_OBJECT_SEND'
Work item 000000503335: Object BUS7051 method WAIT_1_MINUTE cannot be executed
Object does not exist
Object does not exist
Object does not exist
Variables of the work item text cannot be generated
Syntax error in expression &NOTIFICATION.NUMBER&
(This is a Wait Step, Created in ZBUS7051, Method: WAIT_1_MINUTE)
Since the delegation has done, I can say BUS7051 - WAIT_1_MINUTE, instead of ZBUS7051- WAIT_1_MINUTE. Is it correct?
Could some one please let me know, How to fix the above issue?

Issue with Teradata access from Business Objects AIX Machine

Hi,
I am using BO XI.31 which is installed on AIX 5.3 machine. I have installed Teradata driver on the machine and I have created the require ODBC.ini entry to point Teradata database. While refreshing the report I am getting below error message.
A database error occured .The database error test is (CS) "DBDriver failed ot load: /BOBJ/xi_3.1...Connectionserver/libdbd_tdodbc.so
0509-022 Cannot load module/BOBJ/xi_3.1....ConnectionServer/libdbd_tdodbc.so
0509-150 Dependent module libodbc.a(odbc.so) Could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libodbc.a(odbc.so)
0509-022 System error:A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
Any body know what are the steps require to access teradata database from AIX box

Hi Jacks,
Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
This is caused by a wrong HOME environment variable of the user that starts the BO processes.
Resolution
Check the correct path of your BO 3.1 installation and export it as HOME environment variable:
Example:
BO 3.1 installation path: /home/<bouser>/bo3.1/Enterprise12.0../...
Type in the command line:
export HOME=/home/<bouser>/boversion
You can also change this environment variable permanently if you edit the .profile file of the BO user (home/<username>/.profile), adding the above line into the file, then source it again with:
. .profile
or with a logoff/logon of the session.
Check if the path of your HOME is correct with:
env | grep HOME
Now you can run the installation setup without any error.

Arabic data export to PDF from Business Object 6.5

I have Arabic data in oracle 10g database.
In Business Objects 6.5 report, am able to see the Arabic data as well.
When I save the BO report as PDF, the report data in arabic appears as ?????
I serached all the documentation and scoured the web, but could not get much info.
How can I get to display the Arabic data in PDF format as well?

Hi!
PDF uses its proprietary fonts to generate and display the text and it displays ???? for the character which its unable to interpret from the available fonts directory. You may need to buy some language plugins from Acrobat and integrate it with you Reports Server, to enable your PDF to display Arabic Character. I had a similar problem with Barcodes dislay in PDF.

WF Question: Call Transaction From Business Object Not works

Hi Frinds
I need some help
in Business Object ZBUS2012 I have a method that run a report (ALV)
in the PO nubmer I have a drill down to me23n with parameter BES (EBELN)
when I click the PO me23n Opened Empty without the PO Number.
If i try to run the report not from the BO its woks fine.
it's opened me23n with the right PO Number.
What can Be The Problem ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Kobi
Are you passing the parameter from the business object to the method of you ALV report, if in doubt, please post your method code? Most likely this is what is wrong. The correct way to reference the PO number within the method is
object-key-purchaseorder
Then test using SWO1 to ensure you method is correct before calling through workflow.

Migration from business object to oraclediscoverer

Sir,
We are interested in moving universes in business object to
business area in oracle discoverer. we must do this in order to
use discoverer. can you give details and utilities to archieve
this in oracle. this is urgent.
Larry.

Hi,
My ex-company used to use BA for reporting, and subsequently they moved over to PCA.... with minimal impact of course.
A few considerations :
1. Is your PCA active? Rightfully the profit centres are usually set up as statistical cost collector.... but you might need to check if there is any configuration that prevents cost/revenue from posting into PCA
2. Is the hierarchy in PCA properly set up? Functionally speaking, BA is no difference to PCA since they are both measuring the business by funcational area.... You can create standalone hierarchies in PCA to capture the business reporting, such as legal reporting structures, or Line of Business structures.
3. What kind of reporting is used for Business area.... are they present in PCA?
I think you'd have to think through the steps carefully... if point 1 is met, the change in reporting would be simple enough. Otherwise, you would have to consider how to bridge the data gap.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gimmo

Calling DLLs or Java from Business Objects

Post Author: nmarks
CA Forum: Other
I'm a newbie so please go easy!
Is it possible to invoke a DLL or Java bean when opening a Business Objects query or report?
I've just started working for a very large insurance company in the UK.
Each month the company produces reports for the Directors, for the Auditors and Industry Regulators.
Most of the results that go into the reports are produced using an extremely expensive application called Prophet. It dumps out files with data in.
Ideally the company would like to upload the results from Prophet into Business Objects and have nice numbers show on a report the directors can understand.
The problem is that lots of fiddly adjustment calculations have to be done to the data coming from Prophet before it can be shown on the BO report.
I have proposed that the adjustment calculations are done using a VB DLL which will be called automatically by Business Objects when the user wants to see the report. Can this be done?
Can Business Objects call a DLL?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Nick.

Hello,
I think it can. At least I have done it with a DLL is compiled by Delphi. You may read the CR Developer's Help for more info. If you have installed the Developer Edition, its location is something like this: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11\Developer Files\Help\En

could anyone throw light on how this kind of error can be resolved and why it occured?
Thanks.

What does the RFC trace file and log say? Has there been any dump on the SAP server? Check the logs and transaction st22 in your SAP system to see if the RFC-module has dumped.
My guess is the problem is in the RFC-module, I think you should start looking there.

Accessing a Method from an object in memory

I have a class that is in another package with a method something like this:
public void performOk(){
OtherClass.refreshTable();
I can't call it statically because the class isn't a static class, so this won't work. I can't figure out how to get ahold of the current instance of the class to run this command.
I have tried things like
FileFolderManagerV2 ffm = ffm.getInstance()
Which won't work for circular reasons
I also tried to create a constructor like this
FileFolderManagerV2 = new FileFolderManagerV2(randomstring)
public FileFolderManagerV2(String Random){
this;
How can I get this to fire correctly?

Foo foo = new Foo();
Bar bar = new Bar();
bar.setFoo(foo);
bar.performOk();
The problem is that the class is instantiated in another class. I have a FileFolderManager class that is created inside of FileManagerView and FileManagerPreferences which is in a seperate package, that hooks into the eclipse preferences menu. When I hit apply or ok in the preferences, I need a way to send back data to the FileFolderManager class that has been created, and tell it to refresh the data based on the new preferences. This is the architecture that is recommended when hooking into eclipse preferences, but they give no example on how to send the data back to the main class. I have figured out a way to grab the data from the preferences via
IPreferenceStore prefs = Activator.getDefault().getPreferenceStore();
String shortcuts = prefs.getString("Shortcuts");But I can't actively update data. My other option I guess would be to somehow listen for the data changing, which I may have to do.
