Business Object / SAP BW

Hi Guys,
  I would like to know what is the best tool within BO to be connected with business warehouse.
Regards,
Iván.

Iván:
the best tool within BO to be connected with business warehouse.
My unequivocal answer at this point in time would be Designer.  The Business Objects server, once configured to connect to the business warehouse, permits Designer to perform as the Semantic Layer for the user to access the data.  Designer is quite a stable tool and permits the BO administrator to fully invoke a complete set of SQL statements via Designer that will satisfy most business needs.  I have been in the BI space for the past six years, the first three under a leading competitor to BusinessObjects, the past three using BO, and hands down, Designer is a winner!
Thanks,
John

  • Business Object, SAP BW and SAP Enterprise Portal

    Hello all,
    I've a few questions about the possibility for linking Business Object, SAP BW and the SAP Enterprise Portal.
    The Business Package MSS 1.41 give us a functionality to display (in a federated portal) personalized Budget and costs in an Overview Iview (kind of Welcome page).
    Those information are retrieved from SAP BW and I'd like to know if it's possible to retrieve those data (with the same functionality) from Business Object tool.
    Is it possible to have those personalized reports without having a direct link (standard architecture) between SAP BW and the federated portal?
    Thank you in advance fro your answers.

    Hi,
    The procedure to replicate BW users in BO is explained in detail on the blog of Ingo Hilgefort:

  • Business Objects SAP Transports overwrite the BW 7.3 Upgrade Crystal Object

    Hello All,
    We recently Upgraded our BW environment to 7.3 from 7.0 NW. And we also implemented BI 4.0 SP2, and as part of Integrating BI with BW put in 8 SAP transports which I have listed below. After the 7.3 upgrade to BW we were asked to put in SP5 and then the SPAU comes back with a conflict with one of the BI transports. After doing a compare it seems the CRYSTAL namespace is now part of 7.3 and these BI transports for SAP were created in 2005, so by putting these transports in (for BI to BW connectivity) we have overwrtten some 7.3 code?
    My question is do we have a new set of transports for BI to BW 7.3 connectivity? I couldn't find any such in the installation guide or OSS notes for BI

    Hi Paul, I opened a message with SAP under the BI area, and it has been routed to the BEX-BW team now. I would suggest open a message for the BEX-BW group since your Upgrade is getting stuck during Enhancement. Also talking to the BI folks on phone I got the impression that althoguht BW 7.3/7.0x have most of the objects in the standard SAP namespace they still want us to import the 8 or 9 transports as mentioned in the BI Guide. It feels that the SAP BW development and SAP BI development are not at the same page and causing these conflicts. Sorry couldn't be of much help to you.

  • Business Objects and SAP BI Integrated Planning

    Hi,
    Not too sure if this is in the correct forum...but I have question.
    Is there a way to use the integrated planning functionality with a Business Objects Front end tool? As I understand BEx will at some stage will not be supported...so I guess there must be a tool. If so which one?
    Thanks,
    Leo

    Hi Leo,
    The Business Objects << SAP Solutions Integration Kit >> enables Web Intelligence, Yoyager, and Crystal reporting on the following SAP sources:
    1. SAP BW   (Infoset, BW Query, BW MDX and ODS)
    2. SAP R3 / mySAP ERP  (transparent tables, pool tables, cluster tables, views, ABAP functions and ABAP data clusters)
    & Also web portal integration to:
    3. SAP Enterprise Portal  (SAP's Knowledge Management - Repository Framework Interface, iViews etc)
    So..  if you can consolidate your planning data into a cube datatarget, you might be in with a chance!
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Henry

    Hello Marc,
    As ex-Sybase customer, I wasn't aware about a version "Standard Edition" vs another one.  I just made a control about which version is installed.
    I made a control and I confirm the following elements:
    - It isn't PowerDesigner "Standard Edition"
    - Client platform is Windows 8.1
    - I noticed a problem with "gacutil.exe" during initial installation of version 16.5.
    - Associated license is "EnterpriseArchitect"'
    - I confirm I cannot activate several add-ins such as "SAP Business Objects", "SAP HANA" and "SAP ERP"
    - I see all add-ins mentioned before in PowerDesigner add-ins menu (General options)

  • SAP Log on into Business Objects server not working (Error FWB 00014)

    Hello,
    I recently installed Business Objects XI 3.1 Edge series, I am able to logon to enterprise and everything is working fine. I am even able to import roles from SAP system but I have two problems.
    1. Logging on to enterprise using SAP user: I am getting the following error message when I choose SAP in the Athentication and enter SAP username and password and click log on.
    "Account Information Not Recognized: All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses. (FWB 00014)".
    2. Logging on to SAP system through SAP Logon pad: When I enter my username and passord in SAP system from the same server as I installed BusinessObjects I am getting a run time error.
    Did any one of you had the same problem or does any one of you have any clue how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I assume that you have a key for named licences (You can check this in the CMC under Licence keys).
    What you need to do is to go in the CMC, navigate to Authentication->SAP->Options and select the Named users option.

  • Business Objects vs. SAP Strategy Management

    Hi all,
    I am new to this forum and would like to post a message regarding the recent news on SAP and Business Objects.
    Business Objects has more than 6000 CPM customers and in then meantime we find many statements like http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?id=530626 in the web
    Since the announcement a couple of weeks have passed. My question is, if you have detailed analysis on how the Balanced Scorecard solution of both companies will differ respectively overlap. Are there any documents on that point available? And are there any consequences to be expected e.g. with respect to the price model?
    Thanks for your help,
    Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro,
    I fully agree with Prakash's reply - at the moment Nenshad's comments represent the 'only version of the truth' regarding the BOBJ acquisition.
    However, there is still a possibility to add some useful information on this as you are referring to a 'Balanced Scorecard' solution in general. As there are currently two sides to this equasion: SAP and BOBJ, for the SAP part we can be more specific:
    SAP Strategy Management (SSM) based on the technology acquired with Pilot Systems Co. in February 2007 is the tool of choice for scorecarding in the <u>current</u> CPM portfolio of SAP (SAP's current CPM portfolio is based on the acquisitions of Outlooksoft, Pilot and the reseller agreement with Acorn). This reduces the complexity a little bit as you no longer have to contemplate which of SAP's own scorecarding solutions is the leading one <u>at the moment</u>. SEM-CPM Balanced Scorecard is retired - being put in maintenance mode - and all customers encouraged to move to Strategy Management, facilitated by a planned migration utility.
    Shall you want to learn more about SAP Strategy Management, feel free to refer to my blog series (e.g. <a href="/people/karol.bliznak/blog/2007/09/12/one-blog-is-not-enough--how-to-manage-performance-management).
    Thanks / Regards,

  • 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
