Business Object Modeler Question

Hi Experts,
I'm new to CE and currently trying to figure out what can I do with it?
Assume that I'm planning to create an application to follow activities that our consultants doing.
For this, we're planning to use Local Portal Database to store datas.
When I checked, "Business Object Modeler" is a tool which helps to create business objects and generates tables behind and access services automatically.
Then generating a Web Service for this BO and then using the WS with VC and WD4J is a great asset for us.
But, my questions?
1. Is this a right approach for such scenario?
2. I've created a sample BO and generated WS and tried to use with VC. Create, Delete, Reand and Update Operations can be made available for WebService, but I'm unable to add FindAll or FindByMultiple Parameter operations to Web Service?
Any idea for Q1 and answer for Q2 will be appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Yes, You have to arite the code.Actually, Application services are the place where you will wrtie your business logic.
In th application service operations you have to call the business object operations.
For architechturel guidelines you can go [through thii doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00caf8bd-487a-2a10-36a9-93d840309310].
answer to second question:
You can't change the code in the BO operations. What ever you want, you have to do it in the application servcies only.
Create an application service operation say:
operation(). Create a input/output data structures.
Exapmle: OperationResponce operation(OperationRequest).
Yuor lists add to the OperationRequest datatype. Similarly for OperationResponce also. In this case you don,t have any issues.Actually this is the standered for Web Services.

Replacing Business Objects - Modelling Issue

I'm working on a large 'BI' project that is replacing Business Objects with OBIEE ( actually its not really a BI project its more of a give us what we've got now using OBIEE project ) - which is proving challenging in some areas.
One example is with the Data Model that BO provides in its Universe, the model I'm replacing is pretty much 3NF (even though it uses DIM and FACT in the table names) they're joined pretty much all over the place, which enables the users to select from tables which can be 4,5,6 steps away from the original - including via M:M relationships!
Anyway one specific issue is based around the old question of multiple fact tables where not all dimensions are conformed.
Dim - Business Manager ---< Fact - Forecast >----- Dim - Product -----< Fact - Actuals >------ Dim Salesman
I've setup the Dimensions for each Dimension Logical Table.
I've created a single logical table containing a Forecast and Actual Amount from the 2 fact tables and set the logical levels appropriately at Table Level. For the Forecast measure I have a logical level set to 'Total - Salesman' and for the Actuals measure I have logical level set to 'Total - Business Manager'.
This works great when I select an Attribute from Business Manager, and Salesman and both of the measures in the Answer.
However the users want to be able to select from Business Manager, and Salesman dimensions without selecting the measures, is this possible - do I need to add a bridging table to resolve the relationships between a Business Manager and Salesman explicitly rather than implicitly via the facts?
I have set Implict Fact at the Presentation Model, however this doesn't work (it misses off Total Level aggregation in the OBI Server SQL).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/answers.

Thanks for the helpful reply Turribeach, along with the interesting and informative link.
This is my first foray into the world of BO and I think some of the points you make in the link are right on the money. I've spent many years working with Oracle Tools (Dataquery,Data Browser, Discoverer and then OBIEE when Oracle acquired the tool ). There are difficulties in the modeling with OBIEE, certainly when it comes to trying to replicate a 'fairly' complex BO universe they become apparent.
Many hoops to jump through to give the user a like for like, which I'm not convinced will be possible - maybe some negotiation is required :-)

Business Object Model Design

Hello Evryone,
I'm designing a new application for Incident Management.
There is an existing Incident System But, our application is targeted to end user facility.
So, we have to use the existing Incident Management system to store and get data, so that Incident can be loaded on booth side.
We access that datastore using WebServices with DAO Pattern.
In the existing system, they have Incident Attribute like Status, Alert, Priority,... with Integer as main identifier.
public class IncidentStatus {
     private int status;
     private String statusStr;
     public IncidentStatus () {
}In my application, i would like to have a good OO Model.
So, my idea is to use the Design Pattern "State" and/or "Strategy" for such a attribute.
So that i would have class/interface such as
- IncidentStatus (interface)
- IncidentOpened (impl)
- IncidentResolved (impl)
and so on ...
This involve a class for each case but, isn't it more OO oriented ?
any comment ?
Regards,
Sebastien Degardin

but do these IncidentStatus objects do anything other than represent the status? if not, I'd be inclined to agree with the other poster about enumerated types. if adding new ones dynamically is your bag, you could opt for having a single IncidentStatus class, and have instances which represent different statuses, described by (for instance) a String
another question to ask yourself is "how likely is it that I'll need to add a new IncidentStatus?". probably not very often. in any case, if the purpose of the IncidentStatus is merely to indicate status, I'd be looking to have just one class to represent them, and a config file which describes the individual statuses. adding a new one wouldn't even need to involve a programmer

Business Requirements Modeling Questions

I have created a Process Model with two processes and a flow between them and one data Store.
I have created a Logical ER Model with two entities.
How do I get the entires to showup in my Process Model?
When I go to the Processes Entires area within a process I am not able to bring in or create an entirry. There is not button to say create and the little icon does not do anything?
How is this done.

Hi Mark,
Sue is on different events these two weeks and probably doesn't have time for forum. I sent a message to her.
How do I get the entires to showup in my Process Model?You need to create flow between objects and in flow dialog you can create information structure which holds attributes from logical model.

Object Modelling Question: How do I create multiple nested table columns in one table

Hi there,
I have a XML doc which is as follows:
<PERSON>
<ADDRESSLIST>
<ADDRESS>111, Hamilton Ave </ADDRESS>
<ADDRESS>222, Cambell Ave </ADDRESS>
</ADDRESSLIST>
<PHONELIST>
<PHONENO>4085551212 </PHONENO>
<PHONENO>6505551212</PHONENO>
</PHONELIST>
</PERSON>
I need a table that looks as follows:
Create table person
(addresslist address_table,
phonelist phone_table
I would like to create a table called person with columns addresslist and phonelist. Each defined as object type table of address and table of phones.
Can anybody please tell me how can I do this.
I have seen that there can only be one nested table per table. If so, how do we do this.
Thanks so much

Good one!
Also, it's by far the more dynamic method.
If you want to get pedantic, it's also far less efficient in terms of execution time: each iteration of the loop forks a new process, whereas using a single mkdir command forks only once. The "best" way is the curly-braces method demonstrated above by chimeric.

Modelling business objects

Hello!
I am developing a custom enterprise service with ESR and PI 7.1 SP 4. According to the german book "Entwicklung von Enterprise Services für SAP" (SAP PRESS) it is possible to model the structure of a business objekt in SAP SERM with a "SAP Business Object Model".
When i try to create such a model in the enterprise service builder, it is not shown in the list of available model types. Where can I create that kind of model?
Regards
Gerriet

HI,
You can create in Process Component Model (SAP ProComp Model).

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".
regards,
Christian

Business Objects Resource Requirements

I have a Business Objects Deployment questions. We are on SAP BI 7.0 & ECC6.0.
We have a specific business need where users want to have a adhoc reporting tool where they can do OLAP reporting on data from BW, SAP ECC/R3 and their local Excel/database files.
In order to cater that we are planning to use BO for our adhoc reporting needs and BO proposed their Web intelligence product for adhoc reporting.
I need to verify the no of additional resources(for budgeting purposes) needed to maintain BO?
BO told us that we don't need any as once the deployment is done and universes have been setup(for that we will hire a consulting company) we don't need any resources. We think they are over simplifying it. I want to know what are the daily maintenance/operation tasks, Enhancements, SAP Basis tasks required in BO. Will it possible for a single resources to handle BW & BO, giving 50% of his time to each or 75-25% respectively?
I know the requirement is quite vague but your opinion or any additional info/links will be appreciated.

Mark,
Based on my data warehouse experience, Business Objects environment continues to evolve. So, you may want to consider one full time resource for long term. You can also have one of your full time resources trained by the consultants you bring in. Just my two cents.
In medium to big deployments there are different Business Obejcts roles.
Business Objects Architect --> Sizing, Strategy, licensing etc.
Business Objects Administrator --> general admin, troubleshooting, security infrastructure and maintenance etc.
Business Objects developer(s) --> universe design, report design etc.
Since your deployment is not that big, I can see that initially one person can handle it. If you like, you can handle it all yourself. Of course it will be slow in the beginning, but keep in mind that data warehouse environments tend to grow and before you know you'll be occupied. After all it is about ad-hoc reporting and not canned reporting.
I hope this helps.

Business Objects on SAP R3 or BW data..

Hello to all.
I am looking for an architecture proposal for my company. Our company has SAP R3 source system set up. They also purchased BW licenses but havent done anything with them yet. We are looking to get into Business Objects
My question is: would it be better to bring information into BW and run Webi off of a BEX query?
Or is it a good idea to run Webi direcly off Infoprovider or ODS?
Or do we just create a universe directly on SAP R/3 tables ?
We do have license for SAP integration kit. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Puneet

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:

That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Thank you for your understanding,

ReportClientDocument object model, simple question

How can I modify report in runtime using RAS SDK (ReportClientDocument obj model)?
I tried several different ways to modify report (change date format of the field, change field width...), and nothing happens.
all properties seems to be changed but, reportdocument object remains unchanged.
here is the code I used:

               CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObjects sss = crReportDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects();
               foreach(CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObject ss in sss)
                    Response.Write("<br>" + ss.Kind);
                    if(ss.Kind == CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindField)

Add extra Business Objects to model CRM 2007: Web Client Records

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how I can add more Reference Objects in Case Management?
I copied the model CRM 2007: Web Client Records and added a new node (with for example Business Object Service Order) just like product and installations (which are visible under the reference objects)
I created a new element type under SCMG_SP_CASE_RECORD --> Z_CRM_SPS_CASE_RECORD and in the customizing we attached the model to the case type under Case Management --> Extended Customizing --> Process Actions --> Assign Action Profile to Case Type.
Still the new Business Object in the model isn't visible under Case Management in de WebUI.
Could anyone tell me if I'm missing something or is there a config guide available how to add more business objects?
Looking forward to your replies.
Kind regards,

Questions about ALV object model

Hi,
for a new report i´m planing to use the "new" ALV object model to create the ALV list. Now I´ve got two questions concerning this topic:
- is it possible to switch the ALV into the edit mode like it´s possible if the "old" CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class
is used?
- how I can encolor specific cells?
I couldn´t find any hints or demo programms for these questions

Business Object LB - Probe question

Has anyone ever worked with Business Object for load balancing ?
My main question concerns the probe to get all the content of a web page where I would need to follow all the links included in a probed web page to get all the content.
Otherwise the probe is useless. Anything at this point would help.
Thanks

Hi Nancy,
I can´t find it right now, but I do remember reading that there were different XML definition versions for SBO objects. In the version 1, table names where used. In the version 2, object names where used. Looks like the schema defines version 2, but SBO is using version 2.
I will check if I can found where I did read that. Try speaking with someone in SAP and about XML versions, perhaps they could help you with this info.
Hope helps,

How to Access SSM PAS model database in Business Objects

Dear Gurus,
My core user would like to see few reports from SSM into Business objects.
How can I create a universe from SSM DB , connection type ?.
Please suggest.
Regards
Arif

HI Qureshi,
In order to create a Universe on top of Strategy Management Data (Scorecards or PAS models), you need to be on 7.5 SP2 minimum. Anyway, I strongly advise to always have the latest SP (currently SP5 HF1) installed.
For detailed information on this topic, you should go through the [Strategy Management Configuration Help for Servers|https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/instguidescpm-stm] that you can find in the Service Marketplace.
This guide provides details on:
Providing Strategy Management Data for Xcelsius Dashboards (through Web Services)
Providing Strategy Management Data for Voyager (through the creation of a Universe)
Hope this helps!
