API Clearcase for Business Objects Reports including Webi

Is there anyone out there who has developed a linked version of the following application?
Winners of the Business Objects Community Content Contest
I'm excited to announce the winners of the content contest that we ran earlier in the summer. The contest ran for seven weeks and had five categories, each of which offered a potential grand prize of $1,000 USD, a second prize of $300 USD, and a third prize of $200 USD.
Here is the list of winners, who have already been officially notified, along with a description of their submissions:
SDK APPLICATION
Grand prize - Sunil Abraham - "Bridge between Rational ClearCase version control and Business Object Enterprise"
This tool enables updating the location of report files on the BOE server from the ClearCase repository without using the web interface. The tool is a stand alone application developed in VB.NET using BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK and the ClearCase Automation Library (COM Interface). The user selects the ClearCase repository and the change set that needs to be updated on the BOE server. The tool queries BOE and returns the locations of the files to be updated. The user can then update the server location with the click of a button.

You cannot use query builder to update the object. You need to create a jsp page or java class and add the code to perform the action. The code should:
1. logon to enterprise
2. query for the objects to get InfoObjects.
3. loop through each object and update title using setTitle()
4. commit
5. logoff

Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.

Abhilasha

Exsisting Crystal Reports conversion to Business Objects reports

hi,
can existing crystal reports can be converted to Business Objects reports ( Adhoc, webi, deski types ).
If yes, what versions of CR can be converted to BOBJ reports and what versions could not be.
Where woud I go to get the information and procedure to get this done.
Your help is deeply appreicated. Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Unfortunately there is no direct method or tool which can convert the existing Crystal reports to WEBI or DESKI. The best way to go about converting the reports would be to re-create the reports in the required reporting tool.
All these three reporting softwares are different in working and are designed to suit different reporting needs. So based on the requirements, you can select the tool which best suits your requirement.
I hope this helps in answering your question.

Abhishek Jain.

Creating Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica

I need to create Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica database. Please let me know what connections I need to create to integrate the data into Web Intelligence, Universe, Xcelsius, and Crystal Reports.
Thank you

I've just done some quick checking and I don't see a native connection type for Infomatica in Designer or Crystal. (Designer is a tool for building universes - WebI and Xcelsius both read data through a universe, Crystal can read data through a direct connection to the database or through a universe.) This means you'll probably have to set up a "generic" ODBC connection in order to connect to it.

Examples for RAS/BOE/Viewer SDK for Business Objects XI 3.1 (12.0)

Hi, I am a newbie in Business Objects.
I am trying to find some examples on how to view reports on separate Application server (JBoss) and retrieve reports from Business Objects server. Us I understood from forums/guides I need to use Viewer SDK or (BOE/RAS SDK).
However I cannot find any examples for above mentioned SDKs to start from something.
OIne of the places I came across is here: http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/Viewers_SDK/default.htm indeed it is only for v11, as well as others places I came across.
Can anyone guide me with this?
Thank you!

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.

Paul

Automating Testing of Business Objects Reports...

I am a new user to empirix e-Tester and I need some assistance understanding how the program captures events during recording... I am trying to build a very simple test to use against the Business Objects Reporting package.
Basically, I have the following steps in this test case:
1. Login to the system. Got this working and configured.
2. Select a report from the listing of documents. This works.
3. Enter Report Criteria and submit report. This Works.
4. Filter report using drop down boxes that contain valid data filters. This doesn't work.
In step 4, I basically have a screen with 2 frames. The top frame contains drop down lists for the filters. The main frame contains the report data. When I am recording the script it works, but on playback it freezes and times out. If I look through the script, it shows the index of the item I selected in the associated list box. I looked in the address properties and it shows the events (onclick and onchange) and the onchange has the correct index... but it fails to update the data frame with the filtered report... it just times out.
Does anyone understand what I am doing much less doing wrong? I can attach some screen prints if neccessary to clarify what's going on.
TIA,
Wayne

I have run into similar issues like this in my testing. The issue is usually caused by dynamic option values. When you record a script, eTester captures the value associated with the drop down. If on playback it cannot match its recorded value to a choice in the list (remember a drop down is a restricted list) it will come back with a ?failed to set option value?? There are a couple of ways you can fix this. The first option is to expand the page, address and parameters node that that the script fails on. Find the parameters with value, number (Myval, 1) for example. Right-click the parameter and select properties. Click the ?base on index? button. The tool will now select the option by index instead of value. The other possibility is to select options-->Current Script then select General. Check the first option ?Record all list selection by index.? This will do what is described above globally when scripts are recorded. I hope this is inline with your problem and helps.

Open Business Objects report with J2SE

Hi, How can I do to open a Business Objects report with J2SE aplicattion?
Thanks,

Depending on the version of Crystal Reports / Business Objects you have, there are Java libraries you can use to connect to the Business Objects Application server. I spent a lot of time on BO's website figuring it out. In the end i only needed a few libraries to connect, and ask the server to print a report. I remember that there was a way to have the server send a pdf as a binary stream, that you could then save as a pdf file and read. You can do a lot more with the SDK, to the extent of creating your own report creation tool. If you would like some specifics, i might be able to find the some of the documentation i used. It all came from the BO website.
Wish i could be more help

Language attributes for business objects ERC_CDCY

Hello,
I need to activate TREX index ERC_CDCY from our e-recruiting system using SES_ADMIN transaction.
When I activate it, I receive error message UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION (CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB) at the
relational index level (Relation of candidacy).
I opened a message with SAPnet and got the following answer:
Indexes are only created in english compared to others systems that contains indexes in both languages (EN, FR). We could not find any french attributes for business objects ERC_CDCY which is required (at least 7 words) to index it in french language.
Do you know which transaction or SPRO menu path I could use to maintain de language attributes and the 7 words?
Thanks for you help
Hugo

Hello Huga,
About maintaining the language in E-Rec you can have a look at the table
V_T77RCF_SELANGU, there you can maintain the different language.
The exception you are getting might be coming from the TREX side. please check the following notes:
1260684 SQL statement terminates: "Too Complicated SQL

Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 and Oracle 10g

Hi all,
One of our clients has an oracle forms 6i application and Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 called from forms with host command. We are going to upgrade the forms application to 10g but would it be possible to integrate this old version of BO in Oracle 10g application (and Oracle 10g DB)
Does it exist any official spreadsheet which explains the compatibility of BO and Oracle DB?
Thank you in advance.
Alex

Options
1 upgrade the reports to 10g
2 Implement webutil and call the reports 4.1.6 using host

Version Control for BUSINESS OBJECTS repository

Hi,
Do we have any version control for business objects repository?
Thanks

Hi
I am hoping someone can answer my Version Control queries. The LCM document is limited in its detail on VM.
I am currently testing the BO LCM 3.1 and while it appears very easy to use especially for promotion, the Version Control Manager seems to be lacking in controls and a clear promotion path from dev to test to uat to prod.
We have set up 2 identical environments for UAT and PROD.
And using the Version Control part of LCM creating version control for a universe.
Logged into VM in UAT
We have selected a universe
Added it to VM
Made a change to the universe in Designer
Exported it
Then Checked it in
Can now see 2 versions in the history and the VMS Version. All good
I then click on swap system and log into PROD
The VM history is also there in PROD
I have a number of concerns and questions and can't seem to find the solution to them anywhere.
1. VM seems to be lacking a controlled process from all the environments. Basically we want to deploy following this path;
Dev - Test - UAT - PROD
There does not seem to be any controls or security which would stop you from GET VERSION from the DEV environment and putting that straight into PROD. Obviously we would not want that to happen.
We would only want to GET VERSION from UAT
Similarly for UAT We would only want to GET VERSION from TEST
And for TEST We would only want to GET VERSION from DEV.
Granted, we currently only have 2 identical environments.
But Is there controls that would stop you when in PROD from getting versions from any other system other than UAT?
Also is there any reason why no promotion is required when using VM.
This seems to negate the Promotion Function of the LCM
Any advise would be greatly appreciated with this.
Many thanks
Eilish

Trex search for business object in portal

Hi
I would like to build a KM search iView in portal which enables users to search for business object from backend system.
I have built up the indices for business object in the backend system. In portal->trex monitor->display index details, I can see the indices which are created from backend system. But soemhow, I feel the indices are not usable, as I can not see them in the indexing monitor. And after I created an KM search iview with search component 'search_input_indexes', my index created from backend can also not be shown in the preview of the iview.
I guess there is some step missing. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and best regards
Yingzhi

Hi Yingzhi,
with current releases, business objects indexed through the ABAP-based Search Engine Service (SES) or directly from certain SAP solutions to TREX are not by default accessible from KM.
The next release after NW2004s will enable Enterprise Search and provide the meta-search engine for parallel search access to business objects and KM documents.
Please see the following presentation for some explanations on SES and Enterprise Search and note stated time-lines:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/73f3eedf-0501-0010-0aa6-950694c02f99
In some monitors that access TREX directly from the portal, you may see the business object indexes, but they are not actually known to KM.
