Business Object Explorer + Crystal Report

hi,
i need a way to upload a crystal report in the business object explorer? can anybody solve this problem?
regards,
thomas

You might take a look at the very latest version of the Crystal Reports Viewer. It might have been added to the report designer as well, but I don't have the latest SP/FP of it yet. CR Viewer 2008 can be downloaded from SAP at no cost and can coexist on PC with the CR designer.
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/viewer/index.epx
There's a new beta feature -a little button ( magnifying glass and chart, labeled beta) that lets you export the Crystal Report data to a demo of "Explorer in the Cloud". It's pretty cool, but is limited to 3MB of data. You can load your data to the demo Explorer in the Cloud anonymously, in which case the data is seleted when you end your session, or you can setup an acct (no cost) and have the data retained.
Here's a link that will provide a little more background.
https://bi.ondemand.com/explorer?utm_source=CRViewer&utm_medium=in%2Bproduct%20link&utm_campaign=Crviewer-Explorer
So while the functionality is just in beta now, it looks like you'll be able to do what you want in the future. I think it would be extremely useful.

Hi all,
What is the difference between crystal reports and business objects. And what is the advantage of business objects.

Error during import of business object BOREPMA (crystal reports)

Dear Colleagues,
we have a problem with importing of crystal reports into productive system,
export works fine - I get .car files, but import finished with error : "Error occurred in data conversion".
We could not find any reason for this error..... may be someone had same issue in the past?
How can I check what happens in background during import?
Thank you very much for response

Hi Nick,
our problem is following: we changed *existing crystal report* on development workstation, and trying to import to q-workstation, as it was not possible, we made changes on q-workstation and trying to import to productive-workstation. We don't have crystal report designer on productive workstation and it is a reason why we can not create new report with same name as you suggested (on productive workstation).
In general, how should crystal reports be transferred between different systems (development, test,, productive) if you have crystal report designer only on development system? We think the export-import function can do this, but there is a data conversion error.... OSS message is created since 9 month, we don't get really solution from SAP...
Did you had the same problem or you have crystal report designer on productive workstation and can change coding there?
Thank you very much
Best rehgards

Tutorials for starting with SAP Business Objects Explorer: Excel / Crystal

Hello,
we want to start with SAP Business Objects Explorer. I have been searching for tutorials for while without success.
Are there any tutorials or documentation that shows how to work with excel-files as data source or how to upload Crystal reports files (.rpt) to the Explorer?
Thanks in advance for helpful hints.
Best regards,
André

As far as I know the SAP BUsiness Explorer car retrieve data either from a universe or from the SAP BWA. So hat you should be looking for is information on how to set Excel files as data sources for universes.

Hi,
Recently I upgraded my internet explorer to IE10.. Since then business objects 3.1 reports are not opening in IE10.0
Getting error message "webpage can't be found".

Did you try with other browsers ?
IE 10 (Compatibility View display mode) with Oracle Java 6 / Oracle Java 7 is supported for BOXI3.1 SP6.
Please check the PAM for details of your SP level.

Difference between Business Objects Explorer and Polestar

Hi all,
can anyone help me out with the main differences between Business Objects Explorer and Polestar.
thanks & regards
immanuel.

Explorer is the new product name for Polestar. There have been a few versions of Explorer released since it was called Polestar, but you can find the latest 'whats new' doc here which lists the latest additions:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexplXI32/en/exp32_whats-new_en.pdf
For one, Explorer now comes in two editions... Standard and Accelerated. The Explorer Standard edition allows reporting off of Universes, just as the original Polestar product did. Explorer Accelerated allows reporting off of SAP BWA indexes as well as Business Objects universes. Both versions now allow uploading of excel files to report off of. You can export an Information Space to a Webi doc or Excel file. Users can now save favorite links to an Information Space. Sorting has been improved as well as graphing functions and overall display. You'll have to install the latest build of Explorer - "Explorer 3.2 SP1" and compare. I don't know of a document or matrix that compares Polestar to Explorer. The two are basically the same product with a number of enhancements added to the Explorer line.

Package for Business Objects Explorer

Hello,
can anyone say what the "name" of the package is that we have to order to get access to ASP Business Objects Explorer software?
We want to use the non accelerated version of Explorer first.
I am asking here to speed up the process - I want to give the information to our account manager.
Thanks in advance,
André

It is sold as an add-on. I don't believe there is a 'package' name specifically. Package names are usually used for the SAP ABAP or JAVA based products. But the product name you're looking for is listed on Service MarketPlace as "SBOP Explorer XI 3.2". The Application Group name is: "SAP BusinessObjects Portfolio"

Invocking Business Objects Explorer from ABAP

hello all,
Is there any class available in ABAP which can be used to invoke BOE from ABAP so that we can pass the data in our internal tables to it and display it visually using business objects explorer.
Is there any other such way in which the data in internal tables can be displayed in form of graphs to the user in ABAP

Authorisation in Business Objects Explorer Infospaces created on BEx query

Hello,
We have installed Business Objects Explorer, created Universe on BEx query and created a Explorer Infospace on that universe. everything works fine but the authorisations created for the user in BEx query are not taken into consideration when I login using SAP username "leveraging" SSO.
Is Explorer not designed to consider authorisations in BEX query?
Whats happening during Indexing of an Infospace? Will the system save the data in Business Objects repository from the source of the data?
Thanks in advance.
/Suman

Hi Suman,
You are right , Explorer is not designed to leverage Authorisations in SAP BW.
Polestar is indexing data and keeping it out side of BW. Although you can log in with SSO , it doesn't check the authorization according to BW, it shows everything indexed.
You can have a workaround if the case is simple such as;
Suppose you have 3 region , you can create 3 infospaces and give these authorizations to users from CMC.
But if you really want to use all features of authorization in BW , it is impossible for now.

Integartion of Business objects explorer with ABAP ALV

Hello all,
We have a requirement to integrate one of our applications with business objects explorer. The complete details is as listed below:
1. Our application basically collects feedback provided by users and then displays an ALV with all the feedback ratings received for a topic.
2. It summarizes to the user the average rating received, number of 1star ratings , 2 star ratings etc.,
3. Instead of showing this in the ALV format we have requirement where we want to upload this data into the Business Objects explorer so that the user has a more user-friendly and intutive display of the same data rather than in a ALV.
Any inputs on how we can trigger business objects explorer from ABAP code and pass the data in the internal table used for ALV display to it would be very helpful.
Warm Regards,
Naveen M

HI Naveen,
there has been a demo of this by Enterprise Geeks during TechED 2009 and the code is posted on their website.
the other option is to export the data to Excel and then use BusinessObjects Explorer in the cloud for example.

BI Accelerator used in combination with SAP Business Objects Explorer

Hi ,
If you use SAP Netweaver BWA and SAP Business Objects Explorer Blade, do you only get the full benefit with using SAP BO Explorer, or will the same queries ran in BEx 7 Anaylser also benefit from the in memory OLAP processing?
I'm guessing that the SAP BOE Blade will only benefit SAP BOE.
It would be great if the current BWA had the ability to in-memory the OLAP part of the processing, as then it might be worth the hassle of getting it installed.
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi
May be the note : 1384526, could give you an insight.

Business Objects Explorer Information Space Home Screen Customization

Is it possible to customize the display of the list of Information Spaces on the Home screen of Business Objects Explorer such as to sort ascending or descending? Now it's shown as the order when they were created.

Thanks for your response. I'm looking for a way to make a setting change so when the home screen is displayed, the list of Information Spaces will be sorted without the user having to click it Also, is there a way to change some of the default setting of top 10, etc.

Business Objects Explorer

I installed the Business Objects explorer, I'm trying to make the settings required to use this feature but I can not.
The procedure was realized the following:
I downloaded the file in service.sap.com / swdc 'SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP1 WINDOWS EXPLORER ".
On installation I selected all servers ...
Web Application Server components for Apache Tomcat used by BusinessObjects Enterprise automatically.
At the end of the installation checked if the servers were running.
I don't have BW, I will work with the universe.
what configuration should I do to view the service?
how should I proceed?
