Business Object Builder: Instanciating Objects

Hi everybody,
is it possible to instanciate a object from BOB in ABAP programm?
The object should be found in the Business Object Builder.
regards Mario

Hello Mario
The business "objects" in the BOR (business object builder) have nothing to do with OO objects.
Here are a few example of classes (transaction SE24) related to business objects:
- CL_REEXC_COMPANY_CODE (company code)
- CL_WB2_DOC_FACTORY (documents like sales orders, etc.)
- IF_WB2_DOC (interface for documents)

Defining Business Objects in ES-Builder

Hi,
I tried to create a business object definition with the Enterprise Service Builder (CE 7.1 with local SLD; Selected ES-Builder Profile: "unrestricted").
I selected "create object" -> "Interface Objects" -> "Business Object". But the "Business Object"-Option is deactivated and I get the followoing warning:
Software component version does not support this object type
"Agent" and "Process-Component" are not selectable too.
I configured the Software Component in SLD and imported it to the ES-Builder. How do I have to configure my software component (version) to create a business object-definition?
Regards

Hello Rathish,
thanks for your reply.
At the moment I am evaluating the usage of the ESR. There are 3 Steps I want to perform:
First I want to model my environment. That step I have done by modelling my process-components with service-interfaces, operations, and a business-object for each process-component.
Secondly I created specifications in ESR for my service-interfaces and operations and connected them to the corresponding model objects.
Thirdly I imported the specifications from ESR into my NWDS to implement them.
Since I can connect my service-interface-specification in ESR to the corresponding service-interface in my model, I question myself why can't I do the same thing with business-objects (specify them and connect them to the model object)? Doesn't it make any sense? You wrote that specifying business-objects is not available for external use. Is there a specific reason? Also, it would be nice to import a business object-specification from ESR into NWDS. Unlike "service-interface model"->"service-interface specification"->"service-interface implementation" are connected together from model to implementation, there is a gap between "business-object model" and "business object implementation".

Christian

Business Objects Universe Builder

Please share if anybody has Business Objects Universe Builder Experience with BO XI R2.Regards,Padmakara  

Hi
I met this error before and I think this may be caused by the version of BO universal builder and Oracle database can not match.
connect to Oracle using OLAPSYS user
and then run sql below :
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW OLAPSYS.CUST_OLAP2_AW_DIM_HIER_LVL_ORD AS
select a.aw_owner,
a.aw_name,
a.aw_dimension_name,
a.aw_hierarchy_name,
a.is_default_hier,
a.aw_level_name,
b.position- a.position position from
OLAPSYS.ALL$OLAP2_AW_DIM_HIER_LVL_ORD a,
(SELECT max(position)+1 position,aw_owner,aw_name,aw_dimension_name,aw_hierarchy_name
from OLAPSYS.ALL$OLAP2_AW_DIM_HIER_LVL_ORD
group by aw_owner,aw_name,aw_dimension_name,aw_hierarchy_name)b
where a.aw_owner = b.aw_owner
and a.aw_name=b.aw_name
and a.aw_dimension_name=b.aw_dimension_name

Instanciation of a business object in ABAP?

Hello,
I know that you can call the methods of business objects with BAPIs. But I want to instantiate a business object directly in the ABAP code. Does anybody have a code example for doing this?
In theory I think that I have first do define a reference variable of the objecttype of the buisness object. Than I have to call the Create-Methode of the business object and assign the returned object to the reference variable. Is this correct?
Thanks.
Regards, Lars.

Lars,
Some more info to add to what Peter has already explained well.
If you are going to call a method that has parameters (like a Create method as you mentioned) you would need to create and populate the container as follows.
swc_container wa_container.
swc_set_element wa_container 'Element1' 'Value'.
swc_set_table wa_container 'Element2' Itab.
Also make sure you are not calling a dialog method in a background context!
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Business Object builder

Hi all,
I have a business object whose key field and attirbutes are mapped to a database table.
Now when I instantiate the object with the key field and the key field is a wrong entry then I want my object to throw ane error saying the "Key Field entry is invlaid or no datas exist for the following Key Field entry".
How shall i go for it.
Dev

Hello
Have a look at the business object USER. It contains a "method" USER.ExistenceCheck that is realized by BAPI_USER_EXISTENCE_CHECK.
Take this as an example of how you should go on with your business object.
Please note that business objects and their methods have nothing to to with object-orientated programming.

Need toughts on approach. Client moving to Maconomy/Business Objects

Post Author: klokhammer
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi.On of our important clients are most likely to migrate between economy systems within the next 9 months. Case as follows:
We have developed a budgeting/forecast and reporting system for a certain market/company. The solution is based on a Microsoft SQL 2000 database/server with Microsoft Access as application interface. The solution is integrated and gets actual figures from the economy system Aspect on a IBM iSeries (AS400) system. The "edge" of the system lies in sophisticated budgeting/forecast routines, the report module is rather poor....
The client is now most likely to migrate to Maconomy as the new economy system, and Maconomy AnalytiX as the new BI system (which I understand uses Business Objects.)
We are new to Business Objects and need general recommendations on what level we should try to integrate on. Should we "ditch" all the development done in Access and build a new solutions through Business Objects, keeping all the business logics, but not the interface?
Should we try to integrate on a database level, keeping the interface in Access (for budgeting/forecast), and exporting data into Business Objects to allow reporting through Maconomy AnalytiX?
As you most likely have understood, my knowledge about Business Objects are pretty poor. But please try to give me your thoughts on how we should move along, and what kind of "standard" considerations we must have in mind.
Kind regardsklokhammer

klokhammer,
I checked out Macanomy's web site and searched for references to Business Objects, and sure enough it is mentioned here and there. What it sounds like is that Macanomy has developed some "Macanomy Standard Reports" using BusObjects, so if you want these nifty Macanomy reports available to you, you buy the Macanomy product, which is bundled w/ BusObjects, and voila you have the reports. It sounds like a winning strategy. On the other hand, in order to get this type of capability, an organization would have to hire a staff to purchase and install Business Objects, then the staff would have to understand the financial database that the client has established and populated, and then the staff would have to set about building the reports that are needed. With Macanomy, it seems that you get the whole kit and kaboodle in one swoop, which is good for an organization providing that it is on the same wave-length as Macanomy. In regards to your question about what to do with your existing infrastructure, this is a call only you and your client can make. In IT, it's always about the data and how it is used. Peeling back the onion a bit, the process works like this: in order for the Macanomy reports to work, the report must be properly built and it must read from a "universe", which is a BusObjects term for defining the interface between the user and the database (the meta data process). In order for the universe to exist, it must be built by a "Universe Designer". The Universe Designer must have an intracate knowledge of how every table in the database will be used to support the reports that the end-user wants to have (either pre-canned (standard) or ad hoc capability). The database is still a critical piece, and reviewing the Macanomy offering I have a funny feeling that they come in with their own database structure and universe, which makes their process a much quicker install. The downside, as it appears to me, is how you would migrate your existing data into the Macanomy structure (this goes back to the two parties being on the same wavelength). I think in your case it's going to be a matter of ditching your database structure in MS SQL 2000 and Access, and adopting the Macanomy structure, but this may be more painful to do than any one at this point realizes. It sounds like you need to continue arming yourself with knowledge before making any final decisions. Good luck, and perhaps keep all of us posted on your experiences.

Error while generating the Business Object in Mobile Sales

Hi,
I made changes to the Business Object BOCAPGEN.
Now I am trying to generate the business object but it is giving out the error saying
Error intializing RT Generator !.RT Generator Failed for ".Error arsrep.dat is in use so Generation cannot be done
I am not a MSA Developer and have no clue regarding MAS(Mobile Application Studio)
So any one can please give me a clue regarding the issue
I have solved it by closng all other application other than client console
Thanks Guys

Hi !
1 year later, I am facing the same problem.
I want to build MSA 4.0 SP8, everything runs fines until the end of the generation of the Tiles, the next step fails :
Error intializing RT Generator !.RT Generator Failed for ".Error arsrep.dat is in use so Generation cannot be done
Then around 10 thousands of error messages of that kind follow in the output window ; howeverin the end it says "Generation End" without telling whether it was successful or not (the first time the output window was too small, I thought all was OK )
Anyways, the Mobile Sales icon appeared on the desktop and when I try to launch it I get the error "Starting MobileSalesfailed".
During another attempt, I check with "Unlocker" the 2 arsrep.dat files I found under the BOL directory, it reported that none was used and locked at that moment.
Also I killed the vbagen.exe process before starting the build, but it was automatically launched after. (first build was launched after a reboot, the 2nd after the 1st failed + vbagen.exe process killed)
Does anyone have any clue ?
Another question is : what are the rights required ? I am a local administrator but I do not have full admin rights (the only thing I saw at the moment is I cannot access to Add/Delete Programs in the Control Panel)
Thanks & Regards,
François

thanks to the one who moved it to the right forum

Business Objects, external services and application services in CAs

Hi All,
right now we are developing our first eSOA Composite Application with CE and I have some questions regarding Business Objects, the import of external services and the development of application services.
As I understood there are two ways to provide business functionality for composite applications:
a. Import backend functionality as an external service (e.g. BAPI, RFC) at the CAF, build the application service which can be used as a callable object for UIs or the GPs
b. Develop a local Business Object (in CAF) providing the business logic, create the application service which again can be used as a callable object. Furthermore the application service can be exposed as a Web Service (external service).
My questions:
1. When is it appropriate to to import external services in stead of developing local BOs?
2. Under what conditions is it advisable to (solely) develop local BOs?
3. What are the advantages / disadvantages regarding the reusability of the services (in option a and b)?
Note: We are developing on NetWeaver 2004s.
Please let me know, if you need more information to answer the questions!
Thanks for your advice in advance,
Regards,
Ivonne

Hi Ivonne,
first of all, the CAF Business Objects (BOs) itself don't contain any business logic, they're basically just local database tables (with some CRUD services on top).
Business logic is implemented in Application Services (AS).
Now, regarding local BO's vs. external services, it depends on your use case. If the data is already available somewhere in your backend system it makes sense to use external services. For instance you wouldn't want to store business partners all over different composites. For data that is specific to your composite (in particular configuration, customizing etc.) and not likely to be reused by other applications you should use local BOs.
Accessing local BO's is also much faster than calling external services.
You can do reuse in both scenarios, since the CAF services can be exposed as web services.

Christian

Business Objects With ERP

Actually I need your advice for a requirement I have a customer that donu2019t want to implement BW at all but he is very interested in SAP Business Objects BI Tools This customer has a huge amount of data and the manager insisting not using BW or BWA So my only choice is to use only form BOBJ BI package: Xcelsius and Crystal Reports But I am also wanted to provide WebI and explorer but I know this impossible
I had read in SDN Articles that I can use Federator to connect to the ERP directly and so I can create a universe and so I can deliver Webi Document and Explorer
So I need your advice and your recommendations for this

Hi
currently you have the following options:
1. You can use SAP rapid marts. They contain Data integrator mappings (you need an installation of the DI for this) to extract and load your SAP R/3 data into a relational database. Additionally they provide universes (based on a relational schema) hich ill allo you to build WebI reports.
2. You can use the R/3 connector for the Data Federator (You need a DF installation for this). Please note that the R/3 connector is not yet a product rather just a PROTOTYPE. Take a look here: SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Reporting for SAP ERP [original link is broken]
3. You can try to access the underlying database directly using the appropriate DB drivers. Please note that this is NOT RECOMMENDED. This way you cannot leverage security defined on the R/3 side in your WebI reports and you will not be able to access all data as available in R/3 since some of them are stored encoded/compressed in the underlying tables.
4. Instead of WebI you can use Crystal Reports and the R/3 drivers (eg. SAP Tables, Functions, Cluster) provided when installing the integration kit for SAP.

Business Objects XI 4.0 Semantic Layer Questions

Can someone tell me if the new Business Objects XI 4.0 Semantic Layer is an alternative to the use of Universes?
I.E. There will be no need for Crystal Reports 2011 Enterprise, and Xcelcius to use Universes at all to access SAP ERP data as well as SAP BI/BW data?
Is the new direction of SAP not to use Universes to access ERP and BI/BW data at all?
We are a new SAP NETWEAVER ERP installation with BI/BW and are debating on using
1)Business Objects 3.2 with Universes
2)Crystal Reports with custom SQL, Rapidmarts and Data Integrator
3)Business Objects XI 4.0 with this new Semantic Layer and BI Consumer Services.
Any suggestions, pros and cons would be greatly appreaciated.
We are looking to align ourselves with future SAP Business Objects architectures.
Thanks in Advance,
Randy

Hi Randy,
Universe is an important part of the Semantic Layer, whether it is version 3.x or version 4.x of SAP BusinessObjects. In version 4.0 (officially known as BI 4.0), you will be using the new Information Design Tool to build universe. It is highly recommended for all of your presentation tools (i.e. WebI, Crystal, Xcelsius/Dashboard, etc) to go through the new Information Design Tool for data (including BW data).
The BI 4.0 Virtual Launch is scheduled on Feb 23. I suggest you to sign up at http://virtualevents.sap.com/business-analytics/login.aspx.
By the way, the SAP BusinessObjects does not have a version 3.2. The most current one is version 3.1. You might be confused with the FixPack which is now up to 3.4.
Hope this helps.

Xcelsius (SWFfile) performance after exporting to Business objects platform

Hello,
I am facing a problem wherein the SWF file takes time (almost 1-2min) to load the refreshed data in Infoview portal
i.e. after exporting the xlf file to Business Objects platform.
Following are the system details:
1) Business Objects XI Release 3.1
2) Xcelcius Engage/Enterprise 2008 SP3 Windows (file name: 51038212.ZIP) version 5.3.0.0 build number 12,3,0,670.
Following are the dashboard details:
1)2 tab sets
2)column charts
3)combo boxes
4)spreadsheet tables
5)quite a few images and logos embeded
In the xlf file, we have used the Refresh on load option in
Data manager so that the dashboard (SWF File) takes the latest WebI report instance when opened in Infoview portal.
The SWF file is approximately 2MB in size and it uses 42 live office connections.
Also I had read in few blogs that vlookup function is not the ideal function to be used in the excel datasheet and instead INDEX/MATCH
can be used to improve performance. Is it true? I have tried using INDEX/MATCH function for few charts but doesn't show any performance improvement.
Please suggest solution as to how to decrease the time it takes to refresh the live office connections and display the SWF file in Infoview portal.
Cheers
Lee

Hi Lee,
2 MB is quite heavy for a swf file. I think you should split this file in different parent-child flash files using the swf loader component and opendoc.
Look at this forums:
[http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=85926]
For "parent-child" on XI 3.1 with parameters and LiveOffice refresh in the child swf:
[Calling Dashboards from Dashboards in Xcelsius 2008;
You can have more information about pareht-child xcelsius at the official documentation in SAP markeplace.
I hope this helps.

Crystal Reports Server XI - A subset of Business Objects Enterprise?

Post Author: RVM
CA Forum: General
I'm evaluating Crystal Reports Server XI with a view to fulfilling the reporting requirements of my Client. I've identified Crystal Reports Server XI as the ideal solution and have been looking for documentation that describes the constituents of CRS XI and the architecture of the product from a technical perspective. I haven't been able to locate an administrators guide for CRS XI similar to the one available for crystal Enterprise 10 and Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. I've read that CRS XI is a subset of Business Objects Enterprise XI and as such has the same arichitecture. COuld some please clarify what constituents of BO Enterprise XI also reside within CRS XI?
Thanks in advance,
RVM

It is kind of annoying that they didn't bother to create any documentation for Crystal Server XI.I've used both products and the key difference is that Crystal Server XI is limited to 20 user licenses (combination of either named or concurrent types) so if you have a very large user environment then your only choice may be BO XI.In terms of development and deployment the key difference between the 2 is that BO XI allows you to create universes. Which in terms allows you to use the Webi functionality. You can still use webi in Crystal Server but that's kind of pointless as the only universes you will be able to report off are sample universes. Within Crystal Server you will still have all the functionality that exist in BO XI with the exception of the universes so you can still build business views, list of values, schedule reports, create custom calenders, etc. So if you were to just snip out everything that deals with universes in the BO XI admin guide you'd have the Crystal Server admin guide.

How to extract Cognos Data into Business Objects?

Hi All,
I would like to know whether anyway to pull Cognos data into Business Objects?
1. Pull data thru Universe from Cognos Cubes?
2. Pull data using Crystal reports from Cognos Cubes?
3. Or any otehr method of pulling data from Cognos Cubes?
If nothing is possible I would have to explore using the RDBMS Tables to build Universe, WebI and then present in Xcelsius. Anybody is aware of getting data from Cognos?
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

Cognos Reporting on SAP BI data
We need to create a new project to import the structure of the SAP BI cube or Multiprovider.
Enter User ID and password.
Click on OK
It will ask you to enter the User ID and password again. After enter the User ID and password it will ask you to select the language.
Then it will ask you to select the metadata source, select the Data source as shown in below fig. and click next.
Select the data Source as shown in below.
Here we are planning to import SAP BW cube so we have to select SAP BW and click on next.
Select sign on and Click on OK.
Here we have to select our desired cube or multiprovider and click next.
Now we have to select the language again.
Here Cognos is giving the flexibility to use different options when importing cube structures.
Here I am selecting to use the technical name of the objects and to bring same model as it is in SAP BI.
Finally it will show list of all objects which are imported from SAP BI.
When you click on finish it will take to the frame work manager. There you will see the SAP BI Cube Structure.
Now it is exactly imported like SAP BW extended star schema model.
Here you can compare the technical names of the dimensions in both in Cognos and SAP BI is same.
         COGNOS    Model                                         SAP BI Cube model
Here I am comparing the values of the info Objects with in one dimension.
               Cognos Model                                                   SAP BI Model
If there are any hierarchies in BI, it will form separately as shown in below fig.
When you open the main object of Program definition, we will find 3 objects under this.
It is always recommendable to use Level 01 objects.
This is how it looks when you open all the above 3 objects. You can use any of those depends on your report requirement.
When you open the info object if you see number of different items, that means this info object has got attributes in it.
0COMP_CODE is the technical name of the info object in BI.
In Cognos if it technical name starts with 1  Short Text of the Info Object.
                                                                   2  Key of the Info Object.
                                                                   4  Long Text of the Info Object.
                                                         5  Medium Text of the Info Object.
LELEL00  Is Summarized values.
LEVEL01  Is Item level values of Info Object.
Once you see this in bw/bi environment, i hope you know how to gather and use it in BOBJ environment !!
