Access "Business Intelligence Consumer Services (BICS)" over WebDynpro Java

Dear all
I have to access the SAP BI from WebDynpro Java.
At the moment I do this over the BI-JAVA-SDK which has unfortunately no integration with the BEx-QueryDesigner.
Therefore my question:
1. Is it possible to access the SAP BI over the "Business Intelligence Consumer Services (BICS)"? And if yes, where can I find the corresponding documentation? (I have not found it by myself)
2. What is your preferred way to get data from the SAP BI in WebDynpro Java?
Greetings
Rolf

Hi
Did you solve problem with number 1?

Integrating Oracle Fusion Sales Cloud with Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS)

Ever wondered how to integrate Oracle Fusion Sales Cloud with Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS) ?
The blog outlines how to programmatically load Sales Cloud data into BICS, making it readily available to model and display on BICS dashboards.

I wouldn't try installing Oracle VM itself on an EC2 instance, as EC2 is essentially Xen itself. Rather, you should just be able to transport existing Oracle VM images to the EC2 cloud. I think this is what you mean, but your opening paragraph is slightly ambiguous. :)
From a VPN perspective, I'd use OpenVPN as it has clients for all major operating systems (Windows, MacOS X, Linux) that are fairly easy to package and install. Packages for OpenVPN exist in EPEL so it's easy to install on OEL5. You could also consider using a firewall instead of a VPN and only allowing connectivity from specific IP addresses/ranges. This has the benefit of not requiring client software, but it does require a fixed IP address/range on the client-side.

On Demand Business Intelligence/Self Service BI tools

Hello,
I wanted to first understand if "On Demand Business Intelligence" and "Self Service BI" mean the same. If not, what is the difference between the two.
In addition, i would like to know the tools that i could use addressing the above two needs. The tool should have features like charting etc (fancy stuff).., It should be easily integrated with web apps and not too costly.
Any thoughts

Hi Vinu,
The term 'On-demand BI' is open to interpretation, as are most of these 'buzz-words', but it is commonly accepted as meaning 'BI in the cloud' whereby an organisation can
reap the benefits of a BI infrastructure without being hit by the costs commonly associated with on-premise BI infrastructures. The on-demand BI capability is normally delivered via a subscription based model i.e. Infrastructure as a service
(IaaS).
Self-service BI relates to empowering subject matter experts or SMEs to convert the data that is available to them into reports, dashboards, and other actionable information products, whilst
reducing their immediate dependence on the IT department (who are often a bottle neck for ad-hoc, time-sensitive, reporting and analysis requirements).
Reports/dashboards created with self-service BI tools often get converted into corporate-wide BI reports/dashboards once their usefulness has been recognised by senior management. Self-service
BI tools such as Power Pivot, Power View, Power Query, and Power Map can be used with on-premise BI, 'BI in the cloud', or both. Even before Power Pivot, and other Power BI products, Excel could be considered a self-service BI tool since it enables
SMEs to create what are effectively 'decision support systems'.
A good example of 'On-demand BI' would be Power BI in office 365, since it allows businesses to have a BI capability without a large capital expenditure that is normally associated with this.
SAP also provide BI On demand.
Good examples of Self-service BI tools that come to mind are the Power BI offerings (Power Pivot, Power View, Power Query, Power Map), Tableau, and Qlikview.
My answer is certainly not definitive and it would be interesting to read how others in this forum interpret 'On Demand BI' and 'Self-service BI'...
Hope this helps,
Michael

Accessing Business Intelligence via Browser?

Hi all,
we have a CA Clarity system which we will be using Business Objects with, rather than Actuate.
Our Internal Systems team have installed the Business Objects server for use with publishing reports etc.
They say that it is Business Intelligence R2, although I thought it should be Business Objects Enterprise.
Are they different beasts?
what i'm trying to ascertain is how I can connect to it using my browser, as I currently do with our Actuate reporting server.
I cannot seem to work out what URL to use.
I have the servername and the port number, and the administrator password - but for the life of me I do not know what to put in my browser address bar.
can anybody offer any guidance on this?
thanks,
Matt

Hi,
Business Objects XI/R2 Enterprise is the version of Business Objects. It is reffered to as BOXI R2. You will have to log into BOXI R2 Designer and design the Universe first and publish it and then use it to Design the report by logging into WEBI URL. This development when Executed will open in a URL.

Consuming PI Webservice from Webdynpro Java Not working

Hello SAP,
Environment: CE 7.2.
Resolution expected immediately, Helpful answer is highly appreciated.
Is the namespace should not exceed 60char for PI Webservice, for executing the webservice from Webdynpro Java.
I tried with all the options in executing the PI Service from Webdynpro Java, None of the options worked. I am facing the below error while I was calling the PI Webservice.
I don't see any problem from Webdynpro Java, what ever the procedure I have followed is the standard procedure.
Fortunately when I execute the service from Webservice Navigator, it is working as expected. The same webservice when I consume it from Webdynpro Java it is not working
Options tried so far:
1) Published the Services to Service Registry and there by consuming the PI Service from Service Registry - Not worked
2) Tweaked the URL with few options - Not worked (Tweaking the URL, ex: portType, Binding)
3) Changing the Business Systems in PI and there after calling the service - Not worked
4) Initializing the code, instead of creating Service Controller and calling the PI Service - Not worked.
5) Created a Provider System and tried to call the PI Webservice from Provider System - Not Worked
For all the Options, I am facing the same error which is provided in the screenshot.
Below procedure which I have followed for calling the PI Webservice:
1) Created Adaptive Webservice Model
2) Provided PI Webservice URL (It prompts for PI System UserId and Password)
3) Selected Option - No Service Group Configuration
4) Provided Logical Destination
6) Completed creation of Model
7) Added the model as a UsedModel
8) Right Click on Comp Contr. and selected Apply Template and Created a ServiceController for the model (Entire mapping to comp contr, Initializing the nodes is taken care by Service Contr.)
9) Created an Template Action button and there by calling execute method which is auto rendered from CompContr..
10) Build the project.
11) Activated the code and Run the Application.
12) Getting the below error which is showed in the message.
ERROR MESSAGE:
Exception on execution of web service on destination 'GetPIHRPeopleData' for operation 'SI_CreateHRPeopleData_OS' in interface 'SI_CreatePeopleCompany_OS'

Hi Sankar,
If the webservice is working fine in the Wsnavigator then there is some problem with importing the webservice in webdynpro for Java. Please check the required parameter for creating the Adaptive Webservice Model. After adding in the used model and compoent controller binding, you need to write code for to execute the webservice model.
Please check the code for initialization and execution for the webservice and then test it.

Some issues when consuming RFC2 model using WebDynpro Java CE 7.11

Hi Experts ,
I'm using Web Dynpro for Java to develop our project. I have issues when I use RFC 2 model to call BAPI function . I already create the RFC 2 model successfully to call one PO BAPI function --- BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL. The whole project build and deploy successfully. At run time, it will call the execute() function of the model object. It also works fine and get the return values.
I just want to get two return objects : PO_Items and PO_Item_Schedules .
So far, every thing works fine. But when I want to iterate the PO_Items node and get each property value of current element, the following error occurs :
com.sap.tc.cm.base.exception.BaseModelRuntimeException: Class 'java.lang.String' of new attribute value is not assignment compatible for attribute 'Prnt_Price' of type 'boolean' in model class 'com.sap.demo.localwd.qaspomodel.Bapiekpo'
    at com.sap.tc.cm.base.model.BaseGenericModelClass.setAttributeValue(BaseGenericModelClass.java:306)
    at com.sap.tc.cm.arfc2.model.ARFC2GenericModelClass.unmarshalFromJCoRecord(ARFC2GenericModelClass.java:287)
    at com.sap.tc.cm.arfc2.model.ARFC2ModelObjectCollection.doUnMarshalAt(ARFC2ModelObjectCollection.java:97)
    at com.sap.tc.cm.arfc2.model.ARFC2ModelObjectCollection.get(ARFC2ModelObjectCollection.java:120)
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ModelElementList.getElement(ElementList.java:1726)
    ... 72 more
I use the same way to iterate PO_Item_Schedules element. It also works fine. Therefore, I don't know why this error happens?

Hi Experts,
I continue this thread because it seems that I have the same problem as the one asked by Wester Wei.
I'm developping an application on NWDS using CE 7.11 (I've learned RFC2 with the tutorial [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0b102ea-efff-2b10-b3aa-d9e84a2c6bb6?overridelayout=true] ). The problem seems to come from the RFC2 Model, but I just import it (and I can't modify it afterwards, because it is a read-only model).
So, you advise to "declare one boolean variable and assign Prnt_Price to that variable." or to "Explicity convert boolean to string.", I think you are right, but I don't know how to do that in my app (in the component controller ?). Therefore, the attribute that occurs the problem is in the context outputs, to I don't know I will be able to affect it before calling the BAPI.
Could you tell me how to fix this problem without modifying the model (because it's read-only) ?
Thank you for advance,
Louis

BICS: BI Consumer Services

Hey experts,
I'm looking for information on SAP BI Consumer Services (BICS).
The only thing I found is that BICS is a layer between BEx and BI.
What is BICS? Why should I use/need it?
Where can in find some info?
Thanks
Steven

This is used with data transfer between the SAP business objects XCelcius tool and the SAP BI system, The SAP BOBJ WebI tool can also use this insteal of the MDX interface, Also the visual composer uses BICS. So unless you use these tools you do not need to worry about BICS.

Oracle Business Intelligence Dashboard username / password

Hello
I am trying to access Business Intelligence Dashboard and it is prompting for a username / password. I have the administrator username/ password however it is not allowing me to login. Which username / password should i use to access the dashboard page.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks
Navaneeth

Hi,
i think you are new to OBIEE.
let me say something about it.
OBIEE has mainly two components on which users can work.
1.RPD. (Designing and syncronization from Database comes under this).
2.Presentation. (Dashboards,Answers and all other reports to the end user for analysis.)
What ever you have designed in the rpd of OBIEE can be viewed in Presentation.
To access rpd go to OracleBI/server/repository and click on your rpd.
the default path of the rpd is (OracleBI/server/repository).
You have many rpd's find the correct one.
you have to configure it for presentation.
it is a long process.
If you are using 10g you can login with user_name :Administrator and password :Administrator or empty.

Lakshmipathi.

Configure Business intelligence site and performance point services

Hi
i created a new Business intelligence site in my web application and after that how i configure performance point service.
and below Configuration is needed?
1-            Configure the secure store service
2-            Create service application
3-            Start PerformancePoint Service
4-            Configure Excel Services and SQL Server Reporting Services integration
adil

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to configure PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint 2010.
In order to use PerformancePoint Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, you need to configure a PerformancePoint Services service application. Once you have created the service application, you need to provide data access to the users. This can be done
by using the unattended service account, or by configuring Kerberos delegation.
You can follow the steps as below to configure PerformancePoint Services.
1. Create and configure a PerformancePoint Services service application:
   • Configure the PerformancePoint Services application pool account
   • Start the PerformancePoint service
   • Create a PerformancePoint Services service application
   • Configure service application associations
2. Configure the unattended service account for PerformancePoint Services:
   • Configure the secure store service
   • Configure the unattended service account
   • Grant that account access to your data sources
