All BAPIs related to a Business Object

Hi All,
Is there any way by which we can search for all the BAPIs related to a particular Business Object?
For ex. can we write a report prgram through which we can search for BAPIs related to a Business Object.
Any pointers in this regard would really be helpful.
Thanks,
Saher

Hi,
we can get the List of BAPIs for a Object type in following way.
go to tcode - BAPI
there will two parts on the screen.
on left hand side select any object,
for eg - sales and distribution -> billing -> ItCustBillingDoc
now on right side select tab 'Tools', there select the icon 'Create BAPI LIST'.
then the selection parameters will be displayed.
Now click the Search button you will get the list of BAPI in that particular Object type.
Thanks,
Naresh

What is the diffrence between BAPI and RFC and business object

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tel me what is the diffrence between RFC and BAPI , and also what is ther relation with business object?
Thanx in advance.
Nilesh Hiwale

Hi,
BAPI's are associated with Business Objects and also they are RFC enabled.
But RFC's are the FM's which can be called from external systems, those FM's can be used in many places based on the applications..

Table for Business Objects and BAPIs

Hi All,
Is there any table which correlates a Business Object and all the BAPIs related to it.
Any pointers in this regard would be helpful.
Thanks,
Saher

hi,
GOTO SE11-> TOJTB-> give your business object
You get the list of programs where you are using your business object.
If a BAPI exists with this business object even that's displayed.

BAPI's Business object not found in the search help of LSMW.

Hi,
I am loading Open sales contracts using LSMW BAPI method.
The business object for this is BUS2034 and the FM is BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA.
But when i am selecting the Business object in LSMW, it is not appeared in the search help.
Is there any way to add the required Business object, Function module in LSMW manually?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Vishnu..

Have checked the entries in table TBDBA (BAPI ALE mapping) for this BO ? If this is not available, you may have generate "ALE interface for BAPI" using Transaction code BDBG.
P.S. See the code written in FM "/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_BUSOBJ" (Search help for BO) and read reference to table TBDBA in line number 54.

Error while creating Business Object

Hello All,
I am creating one business object for the Chapter ID. But while creating API method the error message is coming up as "Parameter <parametername> does not have a reference structure".
But I already defined BAPI Structure which has the required fields and also i follow the Std. naming convenions.
Kindly guide me for the same.
Egarly Waiting for the reply.
Regards
Nilesh Shete

Hi Nilesh,
could you please go a bit more into detail?
Best would be to post the interesting parts of your source code here.
At the moment I can only guess that you created an adaptive RFC model. But did you also create a context node and bind the model to it?
What do you mean with "creating API method" and "I am creating one business object for the Chapter ID"?

Difference Between Business Object And Class Object

Hi all,
Can any one tel me the difference between business object and class Object....
Thanks...
..Ashish

Hello Ashish
A business object is a sematic term whereas a class (object) is a technical term.
Business objects are all important objects within R/3 e.g. sales order, customer, invoice, etc.
The business objects are defined in the BOR (transaction SWO1). The have so-called "methods" like
BusinessObject.Create
BusinessObject.GetDetail
BusinessObject.Change
which are implemented (usually) by BAPIs, e.g.:
Business Object = User
User.Create => BAPI_USER_CREATE1
User.GetDetail => BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
CONCLUSION: Business Object >< Class (Object)

Assign methods to Business object

hi gurus..........
Can we assign a Method(BAPI) to no. of Business objects?

Hi,
So i just want to know that is this possible that we specify a BO for the
workflow but do not specify the event.
Yes, To make things more clear BOR primarily is used to link and rasie the events that are defined in the BOR, but there might be cases where you might not have any events but still you need to start the workflow. The other purpose of the BOR is you create various methods in the BOR and you try to import and export differnet values and various manipulations are done with respect to the dat of the Business object instance.
that there will not be need of assigning any starting event for the workflow
Yes without any kind of start events you can start the workflow by making use of standard SAP provided function modules SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW all you need to do is pass the workflow template number let say WS99999999 and the values that you want to pass to the workflow container by making use of the tables parameter of the function module simple_container. Its a kind of name/value table.
I tried doing it in BASIC DATA of workflow but it was not possible from there
In this kind of sitituation basic data does not have any kind of significance. All you have to do is try to find a point like when ever end user clicks on submit button or try to find a BADI' or enahncement spot where you can call the workflow by making use of above mentioned function module.
But make sure you have the right interface all the data available at that point where you are calling the function module this is because you may hvae to pass the respectve data to the workflow container.

Problem with Business object attributes in UWL Workitem description

Hi All,
I have developed a workflow which sends the workitem for two level approvals. Once the workflow is triggered workitem sent to the respective user for approval. When user opens the workitem in inbox he can see all the data which comes from the 'Z' Business object in R/3 and he can approve the same. Everything works fine when this process happens in R/3 system.
The problem comes when user opens this workitem in UWL or this workitem is sent to user mail ID executing 'SWN_SELSEN' report, all the attributes of the business object are displayed in the workitem description except 2 . These are the Minimum annual salary(GRMIN) and Maximum annual salary(GRMAX) fields from 'T510N' table.
Regards,
Vaishali.
Edited by: vaishali rautray on Dec 24, 2008 7:52 AM

Hi Saumya,
Thanks for the quick reply.
For storing the Minimum and maximum annual salary values I have created two attributes in the business object which are referring to database fields. T510N is a customizing table. I could see the values for the same, if I test the Business Object or Trigger the w/f in R/3 and check the approval work item in R/3. These values disappears only in case of web interfacing i.e. If I send the same work item to outlook mail or check it in UWL.
I had checked the same and thought if there is any problem with BO or some other processing takes place before these values are retrieved. But I wonder why this happens only if I process the work item outside R/3 system?
Regards,
Vaishali.

Insert or Update data in SAP with Business Objects?

Hi all,
I am new to Business Objects world with my little expertise in Crystal Reports and Xclesius.
Could you please clarify me that is there any solution or technology or Product of Business Objects which not only make impressive dashboards and analyze the data but also can communicate with back end SAP R/3 to save or update data.
We are actually analyzing our Client requirements in which there is a need of Dashboards as well as some custom configurations that needs to be saved somewhere in the SAP system in order to make decisions in future.
Our back end system is SAP BW. One possibility is to use Adobe Flex as a base architecture with BSP and BW but we are more concerned with what BOBJ provides.
Looking forward for your suggestions.
Kind Regards

Migrating Unmanaged Reports from CE 10 to Business Objects XI R2

Hello all,
We are in the process of migrating our report server from CE 10 to BOJ XI R2.
I'm having issues trying to access Unmanaged Reports using a URL. In CE10 we were able to access unmanaged reports using a URL such as HTTP://<servername>/crystal/enterprise10/MyReport.rpt
But now in BOJ XIR2, when accessing reports using an equivalent URL such as http://<servername>/businessobjects/MyReport.rpt
or
http://<servername>/businessobjects/enterprise115/MyReport.rpt I get the below error
WCA plugin error
Message:An exception has occurred in the plugin with message:
Failed to initialize viewrpt component, with path
<INSTALLDIR>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/wcs/components/libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so.
Component may be unavailable.
Is this approach not supported now? I know that in CE10 this approach was deprecated but still supported ( as mentioned in note "1217747 - Unmanaged URL web reporting does not work in Crystal Reports 9 (and later) " )
Or, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Is there a simple work around, short of hosting all the reports on the enterprise server and using any SDK.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I copied libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so from CE10 to the required dir in BOJ, and tried again. This time the library error was on another library. Error keeps cascading and I stopped. I know this is not the right approach, but this tells me they must have removed/changed this feature.
Previous Setup that works
Crystal Enterprise 10 on Solaris 8
Sybase 12
Weblogic
New Setup that I'm having issue with
Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 on Solaris 10. Installed SP2 followed by SP5

The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
I hope this helps

Looking for a tool to search text fields in about 1000 reports installed on Business Objects Xi R3

Hi,
i am looking for a tool, program that can search all our reports installed on Business Objects Xi R3 for specific content in text fields and formulas.
We used a couple of years ago .rpt inspector, that worked pretty well for our purpose.
Unfortunately this is Win XP & Win Server 2003 only, so we can't reuse it anymore.
(I know there are way of getting WinXP that in a VMware, but that is not an option in our company.)
So i am interested , if there is another tool out there, which can help us?
regards Alex
btw we are using Business Objects XI R3 (SP7) with reports deisgned on crystal reports designer 2008

Report Writer - Converting from MS Access to Business Objects Tools

In 2008, my company migrated to SAP. Security has forced all report writing to use business objects (specifically WEBI); however, WEBI is very very difficult to use. The data in the universe doesn't always match what SAP has and the tool itself doesn't give the robust manipulation that Access does. I have tried to tell the company I need access to the universes through MS Access in order to create the reports automatically and allow interactive databases; however they refuse to give me ODBC access (against policy). Right now I have no alternative but to do daily downloads from SAP in order to feed my robust databases.
Can anyone suggest what business object tool I should use that will replicate what MS Access does for me?
Easy report writing with robust design (including charts)
Easy front-end tool for end users
One to many relationships needed
Efficient/Automatic (no need for daily downloads)
End users can interact with reports (enter data for later analysis)
What about Crystal Reports? What are the limitations and can it do what MS Access does for me today?
Should I be posting this question in another forum?

Hi Amy,
CR 2008 is the complimentary version of CR Designer when connecting to BOE 3.1. You can get an update to Service Pack 3 and then possible SP 4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
But before you do that check with the BOE admin, SP's should match also but not required.
They should work together, When you use the Report Wizard you'll see an option to connect to Enterprise and then log in using your User account and then the Repository will have the Universes available. Remember this is all set up by the Administrator so you will need the Admin person to grant you access to the Repository as well as anything else you need access to. Once you create the report then you can Publish them to your folder or a common folder and the Admin can then share your reports.
WEBI is what the name implies, it's a WEB interface to allow you to create reports using it's Report Wizard. It does take some getting used to and you should have training available, check with your admin group again. Same as CRD, it tool allows you to create reports but is much more flexible than WEBI is in a few ways but once you understand how WEBI works it has some very powerful tools also.
CR allows you to access any database field you have permission to see, it fully supports database permissions. So if you can't see them again you have to ask your DBA to grant you permissions. You can then link tables including your late entry table if it is separate or simply hitting the refresh button in the viewer will requery the DB for new rows of data. All depends on how it's set up.
As for security, this is a decision your company has made. SAP is just a tool that allows you to be secure. With today's security threats and other privacy laws and hackers abilities to get to and cause personal harm to those affected it's just the way things are these days. Take this up with your Management, it's not something we can decide for you and certainly can't provide you with ways to circumvent the security.....
There is training available for both WEBI and CR as well as third party Help for books available. Downloading the sample reports is a great place to start, you can switch between Design and preview mode and see what happens when you make changes....
Thanks again

Can we link two business objects in workflow?

Dear All,
Can we link two business objects in workflow?My problem is that I have to take a standard BO for triggering my z workflow .But later in one step I am using BO which is Z as I am calling a standard Sap transaction in one of the method inside Zobject.
Please let me know how to go for it .
Kind Regards,
Anshu Kumar

Hi Anshu,
You can use the standard BO as the BO for your workflow and trigeger the workflow from its event. To pass values from the standard BO to the custom BO used in the activity step, you need to do proper binding between the std and custom BO in the activity step.
Do proper binding between event -> workflow -> task container.
For assistance on binding in workflows refer to the followng links:
