BOE XI and SAP BW

I have just installed the BusinessObject Enterprise XI 3.1 on the server. I have tested and confirm can logon to the BusinessObjects XI Central Management Console. It seem like all working fine.
Now I would like to apply the BusinessObject Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2.
During the installation of SP2, there is screen prompts ask for CMS Hostname, Port, and CMS Administrator password.
1) Do you know where can we obtain this information?
2) I donu2019t recall to have this (CMS related) screen appear during the BusinessObjects XI 3.1 installation. Where is this CMS in BOE XI
3.1? Should I create it after the BOE XI 3.1 installation?
3) If yes, how?
At the end of the installation, we would like to integrate with SAP BW. Will have more questions...
Please help.

this is your system name from the BusinessObjects server. You can also call the central configuration manager and in the topic right corner you should see the name - assuming single server deployment.

Crystal Report and SAP BW and BOE Server

Hi,
I have installed the following on my local PC:
1) Crystal Report (51038906 CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V1 SP3 Win Server on IA32 32bit) on my local machine.
2) SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 (follow Ingo's document, but under the "Component", I only select the "Client" as I installed this on my local machine)
In Crystal Report, I can build new report on top of SAP BW Query. I can save into BW System via menu SAP ->Save as
In Crystal Report, menu File ->Save as, there I have the option Enterprise. When I click on the Enterprise, I can logon and save the crystal report into the BOE folder that I created, but encountered this error:
Failed to commit objects to server:
Create operation fails
Do you know what's the problem?
At the moment, I have installed BOE XI 3.1 SP2 and SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2 on the BOE Server. Do you think this is the cause of the problem (I am using SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 on my local PC)?
Any help will be appreciated.

To start with there is no SP1 for XI 3.1
The version number 12.x.y.z can be read as follows:
12 means that you have BusinessObjects XI 3.something
x is the Service Pack Number. If x=1 this means that BOE XI 3.1 is installed. XI 3.1 is considered to be BO XI 3.0 with SP1.
z is the number of fix pack.Note that 0 means that you do not have any Fix Pack installed.
So if you see something like:
12.2.4.z
you can assume that you have BO XI 3.1 with SP 2 and FIx Pack 2.4 installed
In your case
12.1.0.z
means that you have BOE XI 3.1 installed.

BOE 3.1 and SAP Integration Kits 3.1

I have installed BOE XIR 2, and DataService 3.0 on this machine (machine A).
I dont use much on XIR2.
I build some simple data flow in DataService 3.0, the DataService use the BOE 3.0 that sitting on the other machine (machine B).
Now I have downloaded new BOE 3.1 and would like to install the SAP Integration Kit 3.1 on mcahine A.
I have uninstalled BOE XIR 2 from machine A. (I noticed that the Tomcat is still there, can't be uninstalled).
I have now installed BOE 3.1 on mahcine A. Everyting seem OK, and I point back to use the existing Tomcat.
Installation finish, no error.
I now go to Start ->Program ->BOE 3.1 menu, I dont get to see the BOE InfoView and BOE CMS.
When I click on the Start ->Program ->BOE 3.1 ->Designer, on the Designer logon screen, it is Machine B that appear on the System field. When I change to Machine A manually and logon, I have error message.
Any idea why the BOE 3.1 InfoView and CMS is missing?
Why it is machine B appear as the System?
Why I can't change manually to machine A? It seem like the CMS is missing, but why?
Please help, need this to demo the client...

Request MDX syntax for BOE XI3.0 and SAP BI7

Hi,
Does anyone know that where I can find a document to specify the MDX syntax that can be used for BOE XI3.0 and SAP BI7?
I found a related topic on:
Resources for customizing SAP Universe objects with MDX
But after go through the above thread, the feeling is that we can only get the answer by testing each of the syntax.
Could anyone share any ideas to this topic?
Thanks and regards
nora

Hi Ingo,
Here is the example that customer gave:
Per you request, a real example. The following objects were created,
when an universe was set up against a BEx Query:
Notation A: [0LOCNOTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTA].[Value]
Notation B: [0LOCNOTB].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTB].[Value]
Notation C: [0LOCNOTC].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTC].[Value]
Notation D: [0LOCNOTD].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTD].[Value]
User Status: [0LOCUSTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCUSTA].[Value]
Want to be able to create an object, CFact, defined in the universe as
(shown in Oracle syntax here, but of course we have a SAP OLAP
universe thus our request for a MDX syntax for BO and SAP BW/BEx Query):
decode([0LOCNOTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTA].[Value],'Y','FAIL;','')
||decode([0LOCNOTB].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTB].[Value],'Y','CDMN;','')
||decode([0LOCNOTC].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTC].[Value],'Y','BSFR;','')
||decode([0LOCNOTD].[LEVEL01].[20LOCNOTD].[Value],'Y','ERR;','')
||substr([0LOCUSTA].[LEVEL01].[20LOCUSTA].[Value],1,4)
Say, if values for the objects are 'Y', 'N', 'Y', 'N',
and 'INACESSIBLE', respectively, CFact would have the data
FAIL;BSFR;INAC
Hope the above provides you with enough detail.
thanks and regards

Cyrstal Report 2008 and SAP BW

Hi,
BOE 3.1, Crystal Report 2008 and SAP Integration Kit 3.1 installed on the window server 2003.
Trying to build the Crystal Report on top of SAP BI 7.
Set the MDX driver setting in Crystal Report.
In Crystal Report, I click on Create Report from Query.
Now on the Field Explorer, I can see that each Characteristic has generated the following:
Example:
Company Code
-->Company Code Node ID
-->Company Code Parent Node ID
-->Company Code Member Unique Key
-->Key
-->Medium Name
-->Char of accounts (Key)
-->Chart of accoutns (Long Name)
1) I understand that the following are generated by Crystal Report, but where are the Chart of account (Key and Long Name) coming from??? I dont have this in the Query Designer.
There are many other field appears under the Company Code charateristic but I dont know where are there coming from?
-->Company Code Node ID
-->Company Code Parent Node ID
-->Company Code Member Unique Key
-->Key
-->Medium Name
Now, I have drap-and-drop the characteristic Company Code and use it in the Crystal Report.
2) Strange, when I preview the Crystal Report, it is display as Text (Medium Name) where as this is display as Key in Query Designer.
Why?
Please help, thank you.

Hi,
see below:

Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7

Hi,
I have been reading these posts and got bit confused.
What do I need to integrate Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7 without BOE. My company has SAP NW license and Crystal Reports Enterprise license and plan to use CR for formatted reporting. Do I still need integration kit into SAP BW in order to create crystal reports on BEx queries and save into BW and view through the SAP NW Portal?
Or am I fine without integration kit?
many thanks

Based on the below Ingo's blog in BI expert we would only need the following:
You must install Crystal Reports Designer on the client
You must install the client components for the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP Solutions
You must install an SAP front end with the SAP NetWeaver BI 7.X Add-On and the SAP BW 3.5 Add-On components on the client when using the connectivity on top of SAP NetWeaver BI
Users need to have the necessary authorizations in the SAP system. For SAP NetWeaver BI, this means that users require the authorizations to view and execute BI queries. There are additional authorizations for SAP ERP access in authorizations class ZSSI that are specific to the connectivity that BusinessObjects provides.
You must release the BI queries that you want to use with Crystal Reports for external access. You can set this property in the BI Query Designer.
So, no mention of BOE.

Andrea Maraviglia

Ciao Andrea,
just a couple of hints:
- Did you already tried to skip logon to BOE and instead directly select BW system? this should avoid to involve snc and then BEx query should be accessible. This would be a further confirmation that issue is the SNC, even if the log you posted is pretty clear about that.
- Do you have snc installed even in local PC running MS Advanced Analysis? I Think it is necessary for the described workflow (page 24 of Admin Guide):
"With SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as the BI platform, single sign-on works if the following conditions
are true:
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 is configured correctly for single sign-on. For more information,
see u201CConfiguring SAP authenticationu201D in the Integration for SAP Solutions Install and Admin Guide
at http://service.sap.com/bosap-instguides SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) >
Integration for SAP Solutions > XI 3.1.
u2022 Secure Network Communications (SNC) is installed on each client PC. For more information, see
SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP NetWeaver > SAP NetWeaver Library > SAP
NetWeaver by Key Capability > Security > Network and Transport Layer Security > Secure
Network Communications.
u2022 Each end user has a user account in the connected BW system."
Furthermore, if I rember correctly, there could be restriction in license using SAP Cryptographic Library (client connection is not supported: SAP notes 597059 and 397195), so you should check your SNC software.
Hope it could hep.
Regards.
Roberto.

SAP hostagent and SAP netweaver nodes not visible in WIEM

Hi,
We are implementing SAP BusinessObjects performance monitoring through
RSC. RSC SP3
We have installed SMD Agent on BOE server which forms "Managed Agent".
We have utilising existing WIEM installed in SOlution Manager.
We have installed SMD Agent on client desktop whicn forms "Managing
Agent" since Solution Manager does not have connectivity to internet
even through proxy server.
We have run configuration UI for Managing Agent which completed
successfully.
The configuration setup of Managed Agent also completed successfully.
But, as informed in the installation guide the "SAP HostAgent" and "SAP
NetWeaver" processes & nodes are not created in WIEM.\ check configuration 6.3.3 in RSC SP3 guide/
We checked connectivity & port settings and we have no issues.
Kindly suggest
Regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
I see where the problem is coming from by analyzing the debugging logs.
When you ran the RSCSetup.bat and you were prompted for the Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager connection details and you put in:
HOSTNAME: CPHSMAD1
PORT: 8081
This is incorrect. That port number is the HTTP port of Wily Introscope, not the WIEM port. You must use the WIEM port which by default is port 6001 (this port will be the same as when you log on to WIEM via the Wily Introscope Investigator client)
Please do the following to correct the problem:
1) On the managed host (CPWBOAD1) run the RSCSETUP.BAT again. Choose deactivate and allow the process to finish.
2) On the managed host, uninstall the SMDAgent (with SID PRD) by running sapinst again and choose "uninstall"
3) On the managed host reinstall the SMDAgent (RSC Diagnostic Agent) again.
4) Confirm the new SMDAgent (PRD) service is running. If it isnt, start it.
5) On the managed host, run the RSCSETUP.bat again and make sure to choose the correct "Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager" port and host name (for example, CPHSMAD1 and 6001)
6) Now on the managing host, run the RSC UI Configuration Wizard again. The SMDAgent should appear now.
Best Regards,
Toby

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems

hi,
using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems,
then what is diff b/w ALE and EDI

Hello KALYAN KUMAR,
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
1.You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems.
2.ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
3.ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
1.You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor).
2. The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12).
3. This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message
I hope u understands the difference:)

How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS

Hi
I have read the article on SDN called "How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS", which is also the name of my posting.
The reason why I post this is that I've tried to follow the links in the PDF to get the file WebsphereEpSsoLib.zip but I get an error 403, which tells me that the file is not there.
Does anybody know where this file went or can somebody tell me an alternative place to get this file?

Please open the associated whitepaper, and you can find the download link to the .ZIP file on page 4.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

Loading transaction data to CRM and SAP/R3 from legacy system

Where can I find information about expected timing to load orders from a legacy system to CRM and SAP R/3? Does anyone know how long it would take to do the update in CRM using RFC's and BAPI's and then load to SAP/R3 if the order had an average of 3.2 line items per order and there were 50.7 million orders? It is assumed we would run multiple loads concurrently. So I guess a better question is how long does it normally take to load one order with 3.2 line items onto CRM and also SAP R/3?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Qutubuddin,
Can you please let me know how you achieved moving data from non sap system to r3 using webdynpro java?

Reporting tools and SAP BW

Dear Sirs,
We have Business Objects BI 4.0 and SAP BW 7.3.
Actually we are using Web Intelligence and BEx Query to reporting.
We have not Business Layer (Universe) between BW and BO because BO it's not supported to create universe (unx) on BW. So we create document in WEBI using BEx Query.
We want to use Xcelsius (Dashboard Design) 2011 and I was thinking that we can use query from universe to connect with BW (new functionality in version 2011). Can we? Or maybe we should to connect to BW using "Connecttion to SAP BW"?
We want to use Explorer (on iPad and iPhone), but Explorer requires universe (unx).
Is not possible to create universe (unx, because unv is not supported via Explorer) based on SAP BW, is it true?
We should we do, when we want to use Explorer with SAP BW?
Do I understand connection between reporting tools and SAP BW:
Crystal Reports - can I use cubes or BEx queries
Xcelsius - using "Connection to SAP BW"
WEBI - BExqueries or universe (but only UNV - old version).
Explorer - in my opinion is not possible
Analysis for OLAP - drirect to cube in SAP BW
Could you please comment.

Hi
With the current version of the BI 4.0 SP2 BI Platform, one cannot create a universe (.UNX format) against BW using the OLAP connection. However you can create a universe (.UNX format) using the Relational connection (see OSS note: 1656905 - How to create UNX universe based on Business Warehourse InfoCubes). One limitation is the use of hierarchies with the relational connection.
Then you can create the Information spaces based on the universe (.UNX format) that the Explorer can use.
BO Reporting tools:
1. Crystal Reports for Enterprise = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) directly against the BW InfoCubes or Queries, if queries already exist in the BW system then you can leverage these directly (less time spent recreating the entire query in Crystal)
2. Xcelsius = you can use the BICS or Web Service or Universe to access the data
3. Web Intelligence = you can use the OLAP Connection (BICS)
4. Explorer = you can use a universe (.UNX format) via a Relational Connection
5. Analysis for OLAP = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) to either a query or InfoCube.
It is hoped that in Feature Pack 3 which will be released later this year, that missing functionalities will be delivered for BI 4.0.
Regards
Derek
