Business Objects and Oracle RAC

Post Author: mpg0033
CA Forum: Administration
Hello, we are brainstorming a 24x7 criystal reporting environment with no interruption for any maintenance operations. Does any one has knowledge of any implementation of BO with 3 node Oracle 10g RAC on Linux?

There are RAC customers around the world who currently use Business Objects against a RAC 10g database. Since BO is a reporting tool, most of the workload will be read. If you are using parallel query with 400 users, you may want to tune so that the parallel slaves stay within an instance. This should work fine across a RAC cluster.
Yes the interconnect traffic may be higher especially if you use inter - instance parallelism. Your post suggests that all your reports will go after the same data block....if that is the case, the data block will be cached in memory and will only get shipped across the interconnect once. This will not have a high impact on the interconnect.

Business Objects and Oracle 10

Post Author: DQUINTON
CA Forum: Deployment
Currently using a deployment of Business Objects 5.1.6 with an Oracle 8 data source. We are considering using a data source that is Oracle 10 , does anyone know if our version of business objects is compatible with Oracle 10 , or would our problems only lie in the middleware and drivers that may need updating ? Any help would be much appreciated.

Kiran,
Jokes aside, Theres a few documents on how Oracle partner with Business Objects but there is no "Oracle Business Objects" BI product, at least up until end of last year before I left Oracle Consulting BI practice.
Yes SAP Business Objects connects and supports Oracle 10G database functionality, but that would be Oracle DB, not Oracle BI EE.
I seriously doubt they would launch ANOTHER BI tool with the same application name as a competitor?
I hope you can get the information you are seeking.

SAPBI data accessing from Business objects and other OLAP tools

Hi,
We already have heavy usage of Business Object, Essbase and are planning to implement SAPBI 7.0
    a) We are planning to connect our existing Business
        Objects infrastructure onto the new SAPBI platform, Did
        You experience any issues such as performance,
        config issues, delays, web issues.. is there any
        document or link with steps involved in integrating
        Business objects and SAPBI
     b) Can Bex analyzer gives simliar functionalities that
        are in Essabse front- end (EXCEL), I know that the
        backend data managament is quite different, but my
        question is around user interface, do you have any
        comparisons between these two tools.
     c) Is it possible to get data from SAPBI using external
        reporting tools (OLAP) such as Oracle Discoverer ...

if the export to XML file is successful, the file will not be deleted if you are creating it from Metadata Exchange.
The file gets deleted in case you are using the create universe option and by default the file is created in %LINK_DIR%\log\MetadataExchange, you will also see ME_errorlog.txt and ME_outputlog.txt if there are any errors, do you see and erros in these files if you are creating the Universe directly from DS Designer ?
to use Metadata Exchange do the following
Open Data Services Desginer
Click on tools Menu -> Metadata Exchange
In the Metadata Exchange window
Select Export Data Services metadata to a file
Select DI CWM as metadata format
enter location for xml file (C:\temp)
Select the datastore you want to create Universe for
Click OK
Check for file named repo_export.xml in the C:\temp folder or the folder that you specified
Open Universe Builder and Select
Data Integrator bridge
and use the xml file as input to create universe

Difference Between Business Object And Class Object

Hi all,
Can any one tel me the difference between business object and class Object....
Thanks...
..Ashish

Hello Ashish
A business object is a sematic term whereas a class (object) is a technical term.
Business objects are all important objects within R/3 e.g. sales order, customer, invoice, etc.
The business objects are defined in the BOR (transaction SWO1). The have so-called "methods" like
BusinessObject.Create
BusinessObject.GetDetail
BusinessObject.Change
which are implemented (usually) by BAPIs, e.g.:
Business Object = User
User.Create => BAPI_USER_CREATE1
User.GetDetail => BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
CONCLUSION: Business Object >< Class (Object)

Query on SAP Business Object and Content shipment..

I know about SAP Business Suite... & SAP Business One... But what is :
1. SAP Business Object and
2. Content Shipment
The definitions on the SAP Release & Maintenance Strategy and other docs on SDN were not too clear for my understanding. I want to know why are they used / where are they applied ? E.g: if you have a SAP BW system.. why would you need SAP BW Content ? where does it fit in the picture and what purpose does it serve...
(PS: it would be great if someone can share the product / functionality details of their landscape where these systems are used, how does it benefit the business operations and any other purpose of having them... )
Thanks,

Hi Ashim,
If your client want it to be done in one database, then the answer is no if you do not have any add-on or SDK codes. Most difficult part is authorization since I believe what you mean project here is not the same as project center in B1,
If your client allow more than one database, then the configuration will be easy.
Thanks,
Gordon

BODS and Oracle RAC

Do we know of any problems with BODS and Oracle Real Application Clusters architecture? For example, a RAC TNS entry would specify one service name but multiple hosts for load balancing and failover. In BODS the connections are specified in many places (web console, datastores, job server). As far as I remember in some of those places we do have to enter the host name. Would this disqualify BODS from benefiting from RAC or would it (even worse) cause problems? Any official note by SAP on BODS and Oracle RAC?
Thanks.

Hi Mahir,
As far as I know it's only the web console that requires the hostname, however I am using DS XI 3.1 and when selecting database type Oracle in the web console there is a checkbox for 'Oracle RAC'. If you check this box then you do not require to enter the hostname.

Business objects and start events required for CO11N and CO13 transactions

Hi,
We do production order <b>confirmation</b> and <b>cancellation</b> 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..

Please anyone have idea about this how to do this and how to achieve this using SDK and custom business object.
Many Thanks
Mithun

Hello Mithun,
Does this section in the documentation help you:
SAP Cloud Applications Studio Help -> Developers Desktop -> Web Services
The entry "Task -> Create a Web Service" describes how to create a Web Service on your own BO
The entry "Task -> Test a Web Service" helps you how you can use it in a foreign tool / application.

Business ByDesign UI: find Business Objects and UI definitions involved

Hello,
I am new to SAP Business ByDesign sdk development. The most difficult part is to identify the right Standard SAP Business Objects and use them the right way.
As I understood from another sdk developer, he has seen on an SAP sdk training that there exists functionality to see/determine in the ByDesign UI the Business Objects and UI definitions involved in a specific UI.
In a test tennant for a customer this functionality is unavailable.
- is this functionality released for customer use?
- how can I activate this functionality myself?
- what are the prerequisites to be able to use this functionality?
thank you for your answers in advance,
Roelof Jan Bouwknegt

Hi Alexandre,
have a look at the Web Dynpro component WDR_TEST_EVENTS, view BG_SIMPLE_IN_MPANE, method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
Here is a snippet for setting additional customizing or data for a business graphics view-element. Call this from method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
DATA lr_bg TYPE REF TO cl_wd_business_graphics.
DATA lr_bg_method_handler TYPE REF TO if_wd_busin_graphics_mtd_hndl.
DATA lr_add_cust_xml TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
lr_bg ?= ir_view->get_element( <your viewid of business graphic> ).
lr_bg_method_handler ?= lr_bg->_method_handler.
lr_add_cust_xml = get_<your additional customizing/data>.
lr_bg_method_handler->add_direct_customizing(
i_customizing = lr_add_cust_xml
