BOBJ Architecture

Hi,
Any advice with the below design would be helpful.
For a 3000 users and 1000 concurrent users splitting the BOBJ design on a 2 nodes:
on Node 1 - TOMCAT and BOBJ enterprise and
on Node 2 - SQL DB
Both are MS clustered - total 4 servers
Would this be able to handle the load on tomcat when 1000 concurrent.
Any recommendation would be really helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
where is the BW system located ? you have only one BW system I would assume.
Ans: BW system is located at west coast and the BOBJ system is located at east coast. Yes, we have only 1 BW system.
Will the second BOE Server be a completely separate system or are you just looking to put the processing tier closer to the actual data source ?
Ans: We want to have only one Enterprise BOBJ system to house both SAP and non-SAP data. Yes, you are right we are looking to put the processing tier closer to the SAP data source.
Thank you for all your time.

BOBJ Architecture question

Hello ,
I needed some expert advice from you regarding the BOBJ Architecture. We have a BOBJ enterprise setup at our East Coast site.
Now we want to connect the SAP BW system same setup and use it for Webi and Xcelsius dashboarding and expose it through enterprise portal. Is it possible through the load balancer to have an BOE instance at West Coast for better performance.
Or any other way of doing it.
Thanks in advance for you time.
Regards.

BOBj web dashboard

BO experts
our company plannning to use BOBJ for web dashboard..we are new to BO and would like to clarify the following questions
- Can I get the BOBJ architecture diagrams?
- How GRC, BPC can be integrated with BOBJ and ECC?
- Can we run BOBJ on Netweaver server? or need a seperate web server?
- how can we do the sizing for BOBJ?
Would appreciate the quick reply
thanks-Gopal

Operations Manager has a completely different UI... so it won't be identical.
In any case, there is a '360 .NET Application Monitoring dashboard' in the product, described here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj614613.aspx that does combine the APM perspective (Performance and Reliability) with Availability information coming from GSM/Synthetic tests.
Check it out.
The list of slowest resources/dependencies is a new feature in the agent that was enabled specifically for Application Insights - OpsMgr won't receive that same exact data in that format about all resource calls, unlike AppInsights does, so it also can't
display it. But in OpsMgr, thru the AppAdvisor web console feature you can get a list of the slowest resources (extracted from performance 'events', basically) - which is similar.

SAP MDM-BOBJ Integration architecture

Dear folks,
in one of the solution providing scenarios i need clarification on the architecture of BOBJ and MDM. i have been seeing in the documents that BOBJ server is falling in between source and MDM. However i feel it is more relevent to send a file from MDM to BOBJ and get the data enriched(Data quality) and send back to MDM. That means MDM is falling between source and BOBJ.
please provide some help on this.

BOBJ Landscape Architecture

Gurus ,
Client has existing BOBJ (Dev+QA) same box ,Production Box for LEGACY systems
and want to implement new SAP BW landscape DevQAProduction Boxes
What are the options available
1)can we have same BOX for legacy BOBJ and NEW SAP to be implemented for Universes,Crystal Reports,WebI,Xcelsius etc..
OR
2)do we need to have separate Box and separate out Legacy BOBJ with new SAP BOBJ implementation
can we partition database to house both legacy and sap repository on same Box ?
what is the best practise and approach
Thanks

Ingo ,thanks let me rephrase the question
Client has 2 tier architecture ,DEV and PROD for BOBJ and have relational universes
we plan to install 3 tier SAP BW different BOX landscape for (dev,qa,prod) and built OLAP universes
question is what is the best approach ,to use the clients existing 2 tier BOBJ landscape which has relational universes and then also use it to built OLAP universes on top of that ?
OR
built separate 3 tier new BOBJ landscape for SAP BW OLAP universes ??
What are the pros and cons of using 2 tier landscape vs 3 tier landscape
what are the pros and cons of using existing BOBJ relational universe landscape to house now SAP BW OLAP universes?
Thanks

Architecture Information for BO Enterprise XI 3.1

Dear colleagues,
we plan to setup a 3 system BO Enterprise landscape including a HA production system. Can anybody provide a drawing with architecture information of BO Enterprise? (We are looking for a schematic which is a little bit more detailed than the drawing from the installation guide). Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Detlef Kreiss (HP Outsourcing services)

Well, I would recommend first of all analyze your requirement, possible load, usage and then do a sizing.
1. Refer Business Objects Architecture and Sizing guide
2. Search BOBJ forum for sizing, I guess there is one sample diagram in download section

SAP MDM-BOBJ Integration

Hi Folks,
has anybody used SAP BOBJ in his/her MDM Project. I need to know the capabilities and the technical architecture of BOBJ with MDM.I understand that the data cleansing in BOBJ is done in regard to international standard formatting for addresses like country,pincodes etc..Can i have the docs or links to the above related requirements.

HCP with BOBJ

Hello,
I am working on HANA Side car scenario, my scenario needs following:
- Integration with on-premise applications (SAP/non-SAP)
- Reporting in BOBJ (Dashboard, Design Studio, Webi etc.)
I am considering to use HCP as clients needs fairly small HANA footprint however I couldn't found anything in architecture and documentation which explains how to integrate BOBJ with HCP (using HANA Cloud Integration or VPN?). Can we also deploy BOBJ on Cloud so that performance is better than on-premise BOBJ.
I tried to search this information but unfortunately couldn't found, I presume with DB service of HCP native HANA development is allowed.
Regards,
Gourav

Hi Gourav,
Reg: BOBI based reporting capabilities on HCP: As of today, this is not available. The only option is to build generic style reporting (SAPUI5 UX) based on
XS or JAVA and embed in HANA cloud portal service.
HANA DB service: Yes. XS engine is available in this option to build native applications. But it it is a good idea to understand in detail before choosing between DB/App service in HCP.
One option: there is SAP lumira cloud . We use Lumira server on top of HCP already internally.
Second option: If there is strong demand for BOBI based reporting, then HEC (like AWS) is another option where a private cloud is hosted with HANA and BOBI.
Hope this helps.

Business object architecture data model

HI All,
Can anyone give the architectural data model for business object ?
i got few but my data base is sap BI and i need to design a document to show the data model
so anybody having such document or any link for that so please share.
thanks in advance.
regards,
DJ.

Hi DJ,
Best Practice says that if you have SAP BI in Back end and SAP BOBJ on front End then follow below mentioned path.
Create your SAP Query on the top of your InfoCube or ODS etc
Use calculated Key Figures and Restricted Key Figures in your Query.
Use most of the objects under Free Characteristics area for better performance and results
Create your Universe on the top of SAP Query. (we can create universe on the top of Cube and ODS but then we cannot use variable and performance also gets hit)
You can also create further variable / Filters at Universe level instead of WebI to improve performance
Create WebI report or Crystal Report etc (You can also create variables / Filters here).
Page 38 of following link gives a diagram for better understanding.

BW hierarchies issue with BOBJ Reporting tools

Hi All,
Brief about the requirement:
Our client was using Mainframe and other tools for their reporting. Now as they have planned to go for SAP, purchased SAP BW 7 and SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 for warehouse and reporting purposes.
Initial Road map planned for implementation was
o     to use Crystal for operational and formatted reporting
o     to use WebI for Ad hoc and interactive reporting
o     to use Xcelsius for Dashboards
Once we started analysing the requirements, we observed that client requires hierarchies extensively for reporting and they donu2019t want to compromise in that for reporting. At this situation we have explored the options and came to know from the SAP sites that BO got limitations in case of BW hierarchies. But we not able to articulate the what is the exact issue. Is it with only WebI or Crystal also?
What we have articulated is we cannot report the hierarchies in BO in terms of nodes - > Sub nodes -> sub nodes instead we can do as fixed columns. Please add me if i am missing anything else.
And also please let us know options. Options that we were thinking are Implement with BO XI 3.1 considering Advanced analysis tool then upgrade to BO XI 4.1.
Please suggest us, what is the BW & BO hierarchy issue and right tools to use.
Thanks & Regards,
Bala

Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.

Installation process of BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1 on HP UNIX 11.31

Hi all,
Greetings!
I am stuck with the installation process of BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1 on HP UNIX. In my service market place I find the BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1 Installation only for the environments LINUX and WINDOWS.
Does this mean that the BOBJ Software for EDGE BI (Enterprise) is only available for LINUX and WINDOWS machines and not for HP UX machines?
But I do find the installation documents in SAP marketplace for SAP BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1 on HP UNIX.
I find the following packages in my service marketplace,
Address Directories
SBOP CATEGORIZER WORKBENCH LANGUAGE MODULES
SBOP EDGE BI
SBOP EDGE INTEG. FOR SAP SOL.
SBOP INTGR. FOR SAP
SBOP MOBILE
SBOP XCELSIUS ENTERPRISE
Ad-hoc Querying package
BOBJ INTGR. FOR SAP XI 3.0
Enterprise Query, Reporting, and Analysis package
BOBJ INTGR. FOR SAP XI 3.0
BOBJ XCELSIUS ENTERPRISE 2008
Visualization and Reporting package
Could you please help me in solving my issue with installing the Business Objects Enterprise on HP UNIX 11.31 u2013 IA64 machine, and please mention the list of softwareu2019s (SAP Media) to be downloaded from SAP.
Awaiting your response at the earliest.
Thank you

Vineeth Damodar

Hi,
SAP BOBJ EDGE BI 3.1 is indeed only available for Windows and Linux.
I would suggest to create an OSS message ([http://service.sap.com/support]) requesting access to SAP BOBJ ENTERPRISE XI 3.1.

Stratos
PS: Do you want to access SAP sources (like SAP BW or SAP ERP) from your BOE installation?

Getting bobj is undefined when report is viewed in Internet Explorer 8

Background
We are running a web application on a server that has "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 FP 2.6 Update" installed on it.
The server uses the 1.1 .net framework.
This web app can generate Crystal reports and display them either by exporting to pdf, or by using the CrystalReportViewer control.
(The CrystalDecisions references in the sln for the website are using version 12.0.1100.0.
The web app is a custom web app that is not defined in iis at the default level. It lives as a virtual website under the default website and uses the crystalreportviewers12 virtual directory.)
when the browser displays a report by exporting to pdf, it works just fine.
Here is our issue:
When the browser displays a report by using the CrystalReportViewer control using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), it generates a javascript error:
'bobj' is undefined
Here are a few peculiar things on this:
- the report displays ok for other IE8 users (so the issue only occurs for select IE8 users).
- the report displays ok in ie6.
- One notable observation is that IE8 has different sets of options amongst browsers. We compared 2 machines that didnu2019t work, with 1 machine that does work. All 3 sets of IE8 settings differ in one way or another.
Does anyone know if this is an issue that that can be fixed through an IE8 setting? Or does it need to be fixed elsewhere? Thank you!

Hi Brownie,
We only support IE 8 in Compatibility mode. Try selecting that option in the Browser and test again
Thank you

What architecture is best for accurate data logging

Hello,
I'm desiging some LabVIEW code for a standard DAQ application that is required to plot about 100 variables onto the screen on several different graphs and numeric indicators, as well as perform some simple feedback control and log data into a file once a second.
I've done this before, and used a simple state machine architecture, where one state takes care of my logging, and I have a timer vi in there that countsdown 1 second and then writes to file. However, this method makes me miss a second every once in a while.
I started looking into the producer/consumer architecture as a possible remedy for this. Because I hear it's good for running two things at different times, so I"ll have my quicker loop handling data acquistion, plots and feedback control, and my slower logging loop, executing once a second. But I don't see how to implement this
questions:
1. is a simple producer consumer the right topology for my application?
2. when I create my queue do I create it a 100 element array (my data for logging) and then enqueue that in my producer loop from my data acquistion, then pass that to the logging VI.... this seems wrong to me, cause I'm going to be enqueing alot of 100 element arrays... and will be de-queing them slowly at once a second..
3. How do I trigger my consumer loop to execute every second, should I set it up as a timed while loop? or should something from the producer loop tell it to?
I'm sure this is a pretty standard thing to do, I'm jus tnot sure how to implment the correct architecture.
much thanks!

Ok, let's try this. I've put together an example that should do what you need. I put notes in the block diagram, but essentially it runs data in a while loop at whatever execution rate you specify, then sends the data to another graph (or in your case, a log) every one second. Basically, I've used a 100ms execution rate for the while loop, then every 10th time (you can change this if you want), it sends a boolean 'true' to a case structure within the while loop that contains the enqueue element. The graphs that I included show that it does indeed add a new point to the second graph once a second while the first one is adding a point every 100ms.
The actual wiring of this Vi could be cleaner for sure, but it was a quick and dirty example I put together. Hopefully this will help you accomplish what you're trying to do.
