Business Objects 6.5.1 Publisher Media required

Please can you help.
We have a corrupt installation of Business Objects Publisher and need to re-install the module.
However we are unable to find the media. SAP/Business Objects are unable to provide the media to me. Would anyone on this forum be able to supply me with a copy of their Business Objects Publisher module software.
We are fully licenced to use the the application and I am willing to go through any verification process with SAP/Business Objects and anyone with the software who is happy to pass it on.
This is for Business Objects Publisher 6.5.1.
Many thanks in advance.

Chris,
How did you determine that the install was corrupt? What type of errors are you seeing? DId your Publisher ever work or is this a new install?

How to select the business object in ESR and the packages used in SAP 7.1

Hi
I am trying to use the Service interfaces of ESR available in ESA ECC-SE 604 and a few in SAP APPL 6.04.
How can we choose the GDT,Business objects or Service interfaces for the requirments?
Can we know which package provides which objects like what are the available things in ESA ECC-SE 604 and when should PI or ECC use it.
I am trying to create functional location Service interface(Installation Point ) and Equipment (Indivisual Material) for untillities requirment.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
For choosing the GDT, Business objects or Service interfaces for the requirements you first need to create dependencies between the components. For that read the "Defining Dependencies Between SWCV and EnSWCV in SLD" topic from the following link
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0bb5687-00b2-2a10-ed8f-c9af69942e5d]
SAP has published all Services that support SAP Business Suite functionality on the Enterprise Services Workplace in the SAP Developer Network (SDN). You can refer that for getting the information of different services and their objects.

Is it mandatory to use Business object for data transfer and work flow?


<pre>
In our enterprise projects we deal with some screens where we add or update some data and again
we retrieve that data and display to user in various ways like displaying on screen as
a report or viewing in excel etc.. Most of the times, though we identify the business objects
based on the nouns in requirements document, really while implementing there will not be any
business logic in the objects. Almost all the objects which we identfy as business objects
may have methods like add, delete, update and retrieve methods. Still in these cases, is it required to
have business objects or can we use transfer object to send the data for saving and retriving or any other
pattern/guideline is there for dealing such cases?
I really appreciate your comments on this topic.
Also I apologize ahead of time if my explanation is not clear to you.
</pre>


Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, DAO pattern would be suitable for you. Generally the DAO (Data Access Object) will have the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) methods to retrieve data from data-source (e.g. database). Based on the data it will create the DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) and pass them to the caller. It will also receive the DTOs from the caller and save it the data-source. Thus in your case you can
- remove the CRUD methods from the Business Objects (BO) and make them pure DTOs and use them with DAOs (If you are using JDBC codes inside your application and you don't have much of validation or processing logic in your BOs).
http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/Patterns2ndEd/DataAccessObject.htm
OR
- use BOs in combination in DAOs (if using the database connection from a pool and BOs are having complicated processing logic).

BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports-based out of Function module

We are right now creating BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports. Our client requirement is to create this report based out of u201CFunction moduleu201D.
With the current parameters settings at the Crystal Reports designer we are able to create the report based on View and Linking various table. The reports get executed and fetch data. But when we create a report based out of FM, the report returns nothing. The screen stays in u201CNot responding stageu201D and terminates after without any message/pop-up.
Can anyone please help us resolving this? Are there any parameters/settings to be done which we are missing?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi Pallavi,
Not much info to go on. What version of Cr are you using?
What database and version are you using?
How are you connecting to the database, ODBC, OLE DB or native driver?
Have you turned tracing on the server to what SQL is being passed from CR?
Have you copied the SQL from Show SQL in the Designer and paste that into a DB SQL test tool to verify you should be getting data back and that you are not returning so much data it's going to take a week to get?
Not responding simply means CR is waiting for data, try being patient and see if you ever get data or add a Record Selection formula so you only get a few rows of data.
Try reporting off of a single table itself to verify it works and you have permission to run the SQL.
Thank you
Don

Report works in Designer client, but not after published to Business Objects server

Has this happened to anyone else? I have a couple of reports that work perfectly on my pc in the Designer client. I can export them to whatever format I need, and they work. When I save them to the Business Objects server, everything appears to be ok. The thumbnail on the properties tab shows the correct report with a page full of data. When I preview and when I schedule the report to run, I get incorrect data. In one case, I get an empty report. In another case, I get data, just wrong data and way too much of it. I've got hundreds of other reports that were developed and published the same way that are working correctly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

There may be couple of reasons. What is your data source? Verify the database in the report and check it again. Or to do more crosschecking, Create a simple report using the same database and deploy in BOE.

Java plugin for business objects not found. When trying to modify a business objects query, it says a plugin is required but none are found. What do I need to do?

I downloaded firefox 4.0 and attempted to use business objects. A screen comes up saying that a plugin is required but when I click on the screen, it say's no plugin is found. I am using the latest version of Java but it seems that the plugin is not there.

There is workaround.
Enter “about:config” in the browser’s address bar.
Search for “html5.parser.enable”.
Double-click the row to set the value to “false” (row should also go bold to indicate change).
There is a possibility that it may cause HTML5 compatibility issues down the road but it solved the issue.

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.

BI Publisher & Business Objects Universes Database

Does anyone know if it is possible for BI Publisher to hook into Business Objects Universes data? JDBC drivers?
We would like to import all our Crystal Reports into BI Publisher but a lot of them are written across the "Business Objects" BI database.

There is information to converting Crystal Reports to BIP Publishers

Business objects and start events required for CO11N and CO13 transactions

Hi,
We do production order confirmation and cancellation in CO11N and CO13 respectively. Can somebody please tell me the corresponsing business objects and the start events for them? This is a very urgent issue, I will surely rewad good points.
I guess we need to use AFVC_PM object and "finalconfirmation" event for the confirmation.
Please confirm this and kindly suggest the same for cancellation.
Thanks,
Max

Hi Max,
You will have to use the object BUS2005 - which is for Production order.
If you do not have Required events in the BO, you will have to extend object to add those custom events e.g. Cancellation event.
In this case you wil have to use Status management technique for raising events if standad transaction is not raising them.
Hope following SAP Help link might help you to start off..

Requirements and Architecture for Business Objects Universe

Hi - apologies in advance for the probable repeat question but a search of the forums brought back an overload of information that wasn't quite specific enough.
We are about to purchase an application that comes with a Business Objects Universe but we've been told that we'll need to sort out our own licensing for the Client/Server side of its use.
I've done a lot of work with Crystal Reports in the past but having read up on Business Objects it appears that either the Desktop Intelligence of Web Intelligence clients are designed for the reporting facilities in BO.
Basically, the question is what exactly do we need to run reports from the BOU across the company AND what server architecture is required/recommended for the same?
As I see it, the BOU is the equivalent of an ORM layer in software development. This would mean we'd have:
DATABASE
UNIVERSE
REPORTING CLIENT
...where the reporting client allowed the development and distribution of reports based on the specific licences purchased. However the reporting client wouldn't be Crystal Reports - is that correct?
Also is there any ballpark figure for the server and client licence costs? Assuming 5 developers and up to 300 users (although it may only be management needing viewer access so possibly only a dozen users on top of the developers in that case).
I've tried to work this out for myself but there seems to be a lot of confusion around what is Business Objects (the product) and who Business Objects the company are and where Crystal fits in with everything.
For a bog-standard implementation of a BOU what is absolutely necessary?
Thanks
Nic

Hi Nic,
As you've described Universe is a meta data layer in between Database and Reporting Layer. You could create reports using Desktop Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Web Intelligence Rich Client and even Crystal Reports. DeskI, WebI Rich, Crystal Reports do require client installations and you have an added advantage of using local data sources like excel and create reports. WebI also creates reports but you don't need any separate client installer for it.
For the ball park figure I'd contact Sales Team...
Your question regarding what is absolutely necessary, there are lot more things need to be taken into consideration like below
1) What are the repeorting needs at a little detailed level?
How would it help: Though there are several reporting tools for users and their reporting needs, it helps in deciding on which of the reporting tools should be the prime ones. Like WebI can be used as Adhoc Reporting Tool once you design your universe.
2) Where would you want these reports to be deployed or on what portal do you want to see reports?
How would it help: It helps in deciding what should be the presentation layer for the reports and how it should be designed. Business Objects has InfoView portal that comes default where you can deploy DeskI, WebI, Crystal Reports. Or if you need to use an existing sharePoint portal you'd need Integration with Sharepoint software.
3) Do you need ETL tools to load your data?
How would it help: It helps in making recommendation on ETL process and if Business Objects Data Integrator is suitable for the scenario
Hope this would help.
Regards,
Vijay

1. In BO we have different reports like, web intelligence, crystal, deski reports. By default sap provided two iviews
        A) Business Objects Enterprise Integration Kit - IView Template
        B) Crystal Enterprise Report
By using Business Objects Enterprise Integration Kit - IView Template I am able to call all the reports (by using report id).but for this i need to create iviews manually.what is the best practise to publish BO reports in portal.
Regards
Sasikanth

Hi Kundan,
    If BOE is integrated with portal then the reports will be available in KM.You can use the KM Navigational iView or URL iview to the Specific location in KM,to show in portal.Kindly refer the link for further details.[BO Reports in portal|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofBOEXI3.1intotheSAPEnterprisePortal+7.x]

System requirement for Business Object XI 3.1

Hi, I am wondering if someone can gives us some basic information regarding the system requirement to setup the Business Object 3.1 enterprise. We have tried 2CPU & 2GB memory in a VM environment, it ran very very slow and CPU went up 100% very easily, then we tried 4CPU & 2 GB memory(VM). it did help some but still very slow. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hi Max,
The problem you are facing seems particular to your VM usage. You may limit the size of memory swapping between host/guest.
Also find documents that you'll find useful:

Exploiting the DW / BI of Business Objects requires a separate license ?

Dear All,
Could someone please advise whether exploiting the DW / BI functionalities of Business Objects over SAP requires a separate / extra license beside that of SAP ?
Best regards.
Reda Khalifa

Hello Rheda,
if you want to use the BO Analytic tools you need a seperate license for the tool you are want to use. The Analytic tools are not included in a BW license.
For example you would need an additional license for Crystal Reports or Crystal Xcelsius and so on...
The best would be asking your Accountmanager at SAP/BO for further informations.

-Seb.
