Business By Design Forum?

When will there be a Business By Design discussion forum on SDN?
Thanks.
Rick

you mean, BusinessByDesign customers form a hermetic circle which can only be entered after buying the product?
buy first, discusss later? interesting strategy.
personally, I'd too love to read some information on that product without buying it upfront and follow the experiences and first-hand accounts discussed by users of that product.

I totally agree with Alex.
With over 11,600 threads this forum is really "heavy".
A few more categories would reduce the efford for searching and rise the effectiveness.
This applies to a few more categories by the way.
Nevertheless I'm also happy about the quit good support in this board.
Greetings,
Sebastian

Re: Message from Crystal Reports Design forum moderators

If you, the moderator, feel some post is inappropriate in some manner, could you perhaps provide feedback to the individual concerned. Lecturing the entire community with broad references to "abuse" leaves us with nothing but insecurity and uncertainty as to whether we have sinned, or whether our submission was in fact entirely appropriate.
In addition, perhaps you could post an explanation of the purpose of the forums, as I have obviously misunderstood same. I thought this was meant to be SAP's replacement for technical support, (which was eliminated.) As such, surely abusing people for asking for help is inappropriate. (Just because you consider the question posed as stupid or trivial, it likely wasn't such from the perspective of the questioner.)

Thank you for your question, David,
I have branched your posting to a separate thread as the initial note is not designed for discussions.
Let me try to answer your questions and resolve at least some misunderstandings.
This forum is not exactly u201CSAPu2019s replacement for technical supportu201D as this Business Objects forum existed before, and just migrated to SAP platform in June 2008.
What Business Objects an SAP company eliminated is free, e-mail only, u201CAssistu201D support, and there were many reasons including corporate and technical.
Former u201CAssistu201D support customers were recommended to use this forum as it already has a huge volume of existing solutions and it is more effective to post a solution once on the forum instead of copying and pasting to several logged incidents.
It is a Community Forum u2013 not a Tech. Support Forum and designed to share and to accumulate Business Objects useru2019s knowledge and experience.
As a part of migration we anticipated an increased volume on the forum and our engineers were asked to help the Forum Community to resolve their problems answering some of the questions, but please note it is not a part of engineeru2019s responsibilities. It is on volunteer basis - the same as mine, the moderatoru2019s role. One of our goals is to make our products better and this forum certainly helps.
About the reasons of this moderatoru2019s u201Csticky notesu201D: I am sorry if you or other users feel u201Cinsecureu201D or u201Cuncertainu201D, I did not mean it. I posted this note just as a reminder to follow the rules, make sure the question is posted in the right category and where to search for an existing solution.

PhD - Sustainable Business Process Design

Hi,
Just read the two great threads on PhD's in the Business Intelligence - Faculty Club forum... but since my topic is more related to Business Network Transformation I thought it best to ask here.
My proposed PhD topic is all about understanding what elements of a business process design makes it more sustainable than an other design.
Clearly this is a highly interdisciplinary topic covering (at least):
- Economics (efficiency / effectiveness)
- General Systems Theory / Systems Dynamics
- Industry Engineering / Work Design
- Industry Ecology / Environmental Science
- Public policy
- and of course, enterprise Software
I'm working on a few leads already (Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia Canada and MIT for example)... but so far I've not found too many people doing research focused on Business Process Design. Lots of people doing work on Business Process Management Systems (BPMS), lots of people doing work on the science and/or policy end of sustainability... but little on Business Process Design and Sustainability.
(Aside: I find this lack of research a bit odd given that in a business network / value chain , it is the design of the overall end-to-end process, crossing multiple organizations, which ultimately determine how sustainably the process's output are being produced)
Any thoughts / ideas in terms of academic's, journals, articles or institutions which are looking at the sustainability crisis through the business process / business network design lens would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Antony

Hello Antony,
Your PhD topic sounds right on the button. I can only speak from local experience but around half of my members in the UK&I are starting to use Business Objects as a means to teaching students the concepts you describe in Business Processes - at one of our members for example we are working to support an Engineering Doctorate looking at the use of Business Intelligence in business processes using technology such as the iPad as a BPR analytical tool 'on the shop floor'. This would fall more under element (2) of your list. But you're right - each of the elements are crucial. My only advice would be that when you start out you go down a path which you find enjoyable and rewarding as this will enable to to stick to the PhD, and then also narrow the topic to a point where you can achieve the research in your lifetime. No joke - I've seen plenty of PhDs that wanted to map the world because of course everything is inter-related now. The trick is knowing where to draw the research boundary. I can certainly also point out some contacts at the like of Warwick and Cambridge Universities that have done BPR relating to health and aerospace but I'd suggest going with Jeff's suggestions first as he will almost certainly know people closer to you physically (not that that really matters anymore!)
All the best - and very best of luck!

Business Query designer

Hi All
I try to see Bex Queries in Business Objects Designer. Bex 7.0
Trouble : I try to click on the click box : Allow external queries in the Tab More (sorry I have them in German, so the translation is not perfect)
and the click box is greyed (disabled)
Any help will be welcomed
Thanks in advance
Vince

Hi Santosh
Thanks for your reply regarding the Business Query Designer Problem. I'm taking charge of the issue made by Vincent_BO.
I think you missunderstood our Problem.
It has nothing to do with the Language Configuration. When we create a new Query in Query Designer, it is possible to cross the Flag: "Allow External Access for this Query" under the right Panel: Options, register: advanced. ->please give me your email adress to send you the print screen of this configuration. Or is it possible to add a picture to this forum?
Now the problem is:
When we open an existing Query (from Bex) this Flag is disabled. (Please have a look on the following print screen again)
How can we enable this flag? we allready tried to copy a existing Query but the flag is still disabled. Is it possible to change this configuration directly on the database? which field in wich table would this be?
Thans so much for your help!!

Why not allow Business Rule Design Transformer to overwrite existing BRDDs

Hi,
It can be quite annoying during development to continually having to remove the BRDD Trigger and PL/SQL Definition when running the BR Design Transformer reveals missing information in the BR Analysis definition. It seems that it would be practical to have at least the option to have the Business Rule Design Transformer overwrite an existing Business Rule Design Definition.
You could think of an additional parameter in this utilily labeled "Overwrite existing BRDD?" with allowable values Y(es) and N(o) with No as default (so that the default functionality is the same as before).
Below you find the code that can be added to the HSU_BRTR package to realize such a functional improvement. Maybe you can consider it for a next release...?!

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

SAP Business By Design Software- A Review

SAP Business By Design Software- A Review
An Independent Enterprise Resource Planning Software Review :
SAP is one of the most recognized and trusted brands within the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software industry. Having delivered SAP R/2 in 1979 and SAP R/3 in 1992, the company is one of the original vendors that defined the ERP software market. SAP was started by five IBM engineers in 1972 in exchange for 8% founders' stock. Today the German-based company retains the largest ERP market share of any software vendor; with the possible exception of Oracle depending upon how market share is calculated.
SAP Business ByDesign is the company's software as a service (SaaS) offering targeted to small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). On September 19, 2007, a one-size-fits-all, subscription-based ERP system aimed at midmarket companies was released as the first SAP ERP SaaS product, previously code named A1S. After several troubled installations and a flawed go to market strategy, SAP pulled ByDesign from the market for a system revamp and significant code refactoring.
Approximately three years later, Business ByDesign reemerged as a multi-tenant SaaS solution, complete with a new architecture, Silverlight presentation layer and PaaS tools for extensibility. As of December 2011, Business By Design was closing in on its first 1000 customer acquisitions and is available in Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Though SAP ByDesign is targeted toward SMEs with 25+ users, the solution can be used by organizations with as few as 10 users. The ideal range is 25-500 users, but the cloud scalability should facilitate more users if required. Business By Design is also finding a place as a Tier 2 ERP solution—being installed at smaller line of business or geographically dispersed locations and integrated to parent companies using the SAP Business Suite.
While Business ByDesign is the company's first back-office foray into the cloud, SAP has since also released cloud-based Line of Business applications. Sales OnDemand—an SFA application with strong social design—was released in July 2011 and is targeted at SAP ERP or Business Suite customers looking to extend their on-premise systems with add-on cloud components. Interestingly, the Line of Business applications were developed on the Business ByDesign framework, but don't integrate with Business ByDesign. Sales OnDemand only integrates with SAP ERP for back office business processes, so SAP customers seeking a complete software as a service CRM solution are limited to Business ByDesign.
By Design is offered in four enterprise software categories: customer relationship management (CRM), financials, professional services automation (PSA), and supply chain management (SCM). These solutions each include a combination of different modules, and they can be acquired as stand-alone capabilities as well. The entire ERP software suite includes the following:
Customer relationship management (CRM)
Accounting and financials
Project management
Supply chain management (SCM)
Supplier relationship management
Human resources (HR)/payroll
Analytics
Compliance management

SAP Business ByDesign Independent Review

SAP Business One GUIs (screens or forms) are the primary interface elements. They usually cover a rectangular area on the computer screen and represent certain tasks or applications running on the computer. The user may move them around the computer screen, size, stack, activate, or de-activate them.
             When we discuss screens in the context of the SAP Business One System, we usually refer to their work area. You, as the developer, position interface elements within the work area to adapt a screen to a certain task. In addition to the work area, a screen consists of elements. Some elements serve for basic window handling, and some of them are specific for SAP Business One.
         There are two basic kinds of screens in the SAP Business One System: primary screens (main menu/forms), and secondary screens (dialog boxes / message windows).
          SAP Business One application functions always reside in one main or primary screen where the user's main activity takes place. In addition, secondary screens appear in reaction to the user's actions to supplement the main screen. On both types of screens, the user may enter data, make choices or is informed of errors / consequences of actions. There may be more than one secondary screen opened simultaneously, but only one can be worked with at a time

Business Objects Design Studio

I am working on a report on Business Objects Design Studio,
Please help me out with the below two issues,
1. I want to display user name after Welcome message. The user name should be of the person who is logged into the SAP warehouse currently.
2. The corresponding user should only view those option, reports that he has access to.
Please suggest me the approach to work on this scenario

Thanks Tammy for the reply. I have posted the same question in my second post, that's why I used the same thread.
What I am trying to do is,
I am trying to figure out a web item equivalent to role menu (of Web Application Designer) in Business Objects Design Studio.
Currently we are using BW 3.5 role menu to display BW 7.0 web template links. As SAP will no longer support role menu web item, I have to find a similar alternative, I am trying to look for a similar authorization (role menu) in Design Studio. All this is required so that if one user has access to only 3 reports then he should get only 3 reports displayed in the index page for all reports i.e main page for accessing all reports.
Also, i would greatly appreciate if you could please provide some more inputs on Design Studio Backend authorizations .

Difference between Session Facade and Business Delegate design patterns

Can someone tell me the differences between Session Facade and Business Delegate design patterns

1. Session Facade decouples client code from Entity beans introducing session bean as a middle layer while Business Delegate decouples client code from EJB layer ( Session beans).
2. SF reduces network overhead while BD reduces maintenance overhead.
3. In SF any change in Session bean would make client code change.
While in DB client is totally separate from Session bean because BD layer insulate client from Session beans(EJB layer).
3. In only SF scenario, Client coder has to know about EJB programming but BD pattern no EJB specialization needed.
4.SF emphasizes on separation of Verb, Noun scenario while BD emphasizes on separation of client(presentable) and EJB layer.
Anybody pls suggest more differences ?

Problem using "Create Business Rule Design Definition" utility

Hi everyone,
I tried to create a business rule with Headstart Utilities - Create Business Rule Design Definition (Revision 6.0.0.20) and I got the following errors :
Errors
Message
Combination of Message Prefix and Message Number (SGM-ENG) does not match format AAA-NNNNN.
Activity aborted with ORACLE internal errors.
-1400 ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("HST50"."QMS_MESSAGE_TEXT"."LANGUAGE")
I suppose that the utility concatenate the message prefix and the language to build the error message.
Our Oracle Designer version is 6.0.3.9.0, Headstart 2.1.2 with patch 12.4 and Developper is 6.0.5.35.3
Any patch available?
Regards,
Jerome Couture

Tim,
Headstart should be able to check out any tables you need.
We think we have the user settings
done correctly, but there may be something that we
have missed. How can we get Headstart to
automatically check-out the table(s) for which we
want to run the Business Rules design transformer?The user settings you need are (see also pages 5-7 and 5-10 in the Headstart User's Guide):
- Under 'Process the following objects', choose 'Checked out by anyone'
- Also check the check box '... also Checked In objects'
- Choose whether you want to automatically check out with or without lock
If this does not help, please run the utility with log level 'Debug Detailed' (can also be set in the User Preferences) and report the last few lines of the log messages. They should give an indication of why the check out does not succeed.
Hope this helps,
Sandra Muller

Business Rule Design Transformer fails with ORA-00001

I'm stuck with the Business Rule Design Transformer Utility of Headstart. After running this utility over one BR it is impossible to run it over other BR's because of violation of the unique constraint HST65.QMS_MSP_PK (table QMS_MESSAGE_PROPERTIES). The problem is that the utility tries to insert a record (message, specified in the Notes property of Designer) into QMS_MESSAGE_PROPERTIES with the code "ABI-10000", that was already created by running the utility for the first time.
Exact error message: "Activity aborted with ORACLE internal errors.
-1 ORA-00001: unique constraint (HST65.QMS_MSP_PK) violated"
I'm using Designer 6i (6.5.52.1.0) and Headstart 6.5.1.3
If someone has any clue about this I would be very grateful
Cheers,
Dimce

Jan,
The name of the business rule is already in the CONSTRAINT_NAME of the QMS_MESSAGE_PROPERTIES table.
I already tested by deleting the records in the two tables, QMS_MESSAGE_PROPERTIES and QMS_MESSAGE_TEXT, and ran the utility, but it didn't help either. I can run the utility for one rule, but when I want to run it again at some later point, it fails with this error.
But, I managed to create rule definitions using the HSU Create Business Rule Design Definition, rule by rule. I only had to add references in the business rule to the used module.

BW reporting in "Business by Design"?

Hi
Is there any information on the technical architecture of SAP's new SMB product "Business byDesign" available? I've heard it's based on Netweaver, so BW/BI should be included anyway. Are BI services used for reporting tasks?
I think the architecture of "Business by Design" should give an interesting outlook on future releases of R3 / ERP.
Thanks
Rudolf

Hello,
here is an article about an SAP SaaS Solution that is build on top of a multi tenant Middleware from SAP. SAP has this middleware from a aquired company named "Frictionless Commerce" (i never hear this company name bevor ). Maybe this is also the new platform for byDesign.
http://www.tecchannel.de/news/themen/business/2019593/sap_reagiert_auf_cloud_computing_trend/
It is possible that SAP will use different plattforms for On-Demand and on-Premise solutions.

Design Forums are all jacked up

This is the 1st one that is screwed up, look and the Last Post times. Seems to me like this forum also had some posts that were within the last week as well. Also I cannot get the 'mark all as read' to work on this one:
2nd one in the Design Forums, check out the last post times again:

Do you know if people have been getting "Content approved" or "Content rejected" notifications for these threads recently? I know some moderators have been clearing out the queue of several months of abuse reports recently and changes to the moderation status may be causing this in part.
This was in response to threads that were "locked" and not showing posts for a while (until several other posts were made in the same thread). And these threads were being shown as "updated" on the main forum and the last poster was not being shown.
These are two separate things. The forums I posted in this topic are not "updated" the original poster and the last poster are the same. They have simply been "moved" to the top of the forum.

Headstart Business Rule Design Xformer utility

When using the Headstart Business Rule Design Transformer to generate Business Rules, the table is required to be checked out. In previous releases, we have been told that an automatic check-out is performed on the table(s), but ours forces us to manually check-out the table definition, or it does not continue. We think we have the user settings done correctly, but there may be something that we have missed. How can we get Headstart to automatically check-out the table(s) for which we want to run the Business Rules design transformer? Or is this a bug in the current release? We are using Headstart release v6.5.2.3 (HSU_BRTR). Thanks.
