BO Integration Kit for SAP License: Free for SAP Customers?

Dear everyone,
Can someone confirm me a news which I heard from an employee of Business Objects that based on a latest speech of Leo Apotheker (co-CEO of SAP), all SAP customers would be able to use the BO Integration Kit for SAP for free?
Any restrictions on this license? Is this true?

Hi Ryan.
As the answer pls see information from this SAP Note:
1398245 - Information about the licensing requirements for SAP Integration Kit - is it free to customers?
regards,
Yessen Sypatayev

Yes, I do need deactivation, because the other one runs on my desktop pc.

Is SAP Jam free for SAP customers or are there costs associated with it?

Hiya,
We run SAP ERP EHP 6 on Netweaver 7.31.
I've only just come across SAP Jam and Streamworks and they looks really neat. I like the way SAP Jam can be integrated into NWBC side panels...
Something that I'd like to demo to the business.
I think to activate SAP Jam I need to goto SFW5 and activate BC_SRV_STW_03.
I'm just wondering, are there any additional licensing considerations I need to consider or is it delivered 'free' to all customers?
Many thanks!

Thanks Rüdiger,
So basically SAP JAM is seperate to ERP, it is a cloud product that we need to implement.
SAP Jam is not free and requires additional licensing/costs.
Once implemented we need to connect to it, so we need to activate BC_SRV_STW_03.
Is that correct?
Thansk in advance!

Sap license keys for Test Landscape

Hi,
Sap R/3 Enterprise - 4.70
We have created a test Sap Landscape for testing Backup & Recovery. We are experiencing licensing issue when trying to log onto the test Landscape because the hardware key has changed.
We have raised calls with Sap, but as yet have not provided a working solution.
What would happen if I generated a new license on Sap Market Place for the test hardware as a temporary Measure?
Would it cause problems with our Production systems, because the license key on Sap Market place would not match the one installed on our productiion system?

Thanks for your advise, but my Sid is the same. We have build a full test landscape, on a different network. I have tried to create a new license on Sap Market place, but this is not possible. I have rang the Sap Help desk - only to be told that I must create a customer message, which I have, but after 3 weeks of trying they still have not found a solution.
I was just wondering what problems I would have if I changed my Live details on Sap marketplace to the test machine details - just so that I can generate a new license key, and then change it back. Don't know what implications this would have?
Regards
Vickie

Oracle Enterprise pack for Eclipse licensing nightmare for OSB plugin

We would like to use Oracle Enterprise pack for Eclipse for developing Oracle Service Bus applications. OEPE is downloadable from OTN freely, but the OSB plugin is embedded into the full OSB product. We do not want to pay a full OSB license for a lot of development workstations only to develop services. Is it possible to install only the free(?) plugin from OSB to the OEPE development workstations?

Hi,
Development licence can be applied for.pure.developers. For.corporations.like us we have to buy all.licenses for.development. What is crazy that Oracle force us to license a server product for every PC we use for development, beause the plugin is not downloadable separately :-( We checked.it with local sales and true

Bought iMac in October 2013, will the upgrade for Mavericks be free for me?

We just bought the new iMac from www.apple.com. When Mavericks is possibly released later this month, will that OS update be free for recent iMac purchases? I realise this may have the Osborne Effect, so please feel free to ignore. Learned about this effect from CBC just this morning, so I'm trying to use it.
Thank you!

Apple has not announced information on the release date for Mavericks or information regarding free upgrades and the time of purchase requirements for computers. All we, as fellow users, can say is wait until Apple releases that information.
If past behavior is any indicator, purchases within 30-days have been given the codes for free updates, and at any rate, the updates have only cost $20 (US), not a significant amount.

Whether the Oracle 8i for linux is free for business purpose?

if we implement an application with Oracle 8i for linux.And the we will sell the application. whether we must pay the Oracle 8i for linux?

I think the oracle so called their datebase can't use to profit include two perspect:
First, you can't use oracle for linux in bussiness directly.Such as a compnay use oracle on linux as his database platform.
second, you can't use oracle for linux as development platform or run platform and you product used for bussiness perpose.
The above two item certainly uner unauthorized conditions. If you get authorized oracle on linux,you can use it as you want.

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?
Regards,
Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

How to suppress License Information for multiple logon screen?

Hi,
While LOGIN we will get "License Information for multiple logon screen" will displayed.
How to suppress that screen.

and why would you want to do that?
does your contract with SAP say, that you may use multiple logins for free? would SAP's contract-issue department agree that -in your case- it's not necessary to record multiple logins?
have you read this part of the SAP license policy?
SAP gives express notice that the accessing of a system by more
than one person using one and the same named user constitutes
a breach.
tell me this does not apply to you ...

License File for Hyperion Essbase Release 7.1.6.7 Server window

I have to install Hyperion Essbase Release 7.1.6.7 Server windows on window2003. Have been locking for the license file for this version on l"http://licensecodes.oracle.com/hyperion.html". However could not locate the file for the respective Essbase version. Can anyone kindly let me know from where can I download the license file.
Thanks in advance.
Pragati

I think the docs are just out of date/incorrect (fancy that).
Per http://licensecodes.oracle.com/hyperion.html:
Essbase
6.0 - 7.0      11 000000 263A639A-FFE AD52863F
7.1 - 7.1.1      11 000000 463A639A-FFE AF528631
7.1.2 - 7.1.6.3 Click here for options
7.1.6.5      NoneI clicked on the "Click here" link and went to: http://licensecodes.oracle.com/hyperion_essbase.html
And on that page I see:
Alternately, you may download and install Essbase 7.1.6.5 available from Oracle E-Delivery. You can locate this software and corresponding documentation by selecting the Hyperion Performance Management BI product pack and the appropriate operating system. Search results will display the Pre-Version 9 media pack which includes the 7.1.6.5 software. This fix does not require a license file.Note the last sentence -- you are free and clear of license files.
I always wondered where people were getting copies of 7.1.x -- apparently there's a pre-version media pack -- I had no idea.
