What makes Business Objects so special?

Hello,
I am a student of Moscow State Institute of International Relations and I has chosen Business Objects as a theme of my Bachelor graduation work.
So I have several questions:
1. What does offer Business Objects that does not offer for example not so special program as Excel from Microsoft?
2. I am also interested in such form of representation of the results as so called u201Cpilot cabinu201D system.
I will appreciate any information concerning these two topics and any examples of the reports which provide information in more visual way.
Thanks,
Nikolay

Hi Nikolay,
Welcome to SCN!
There are numerous starter's resources present in SCN. You'd need to look around at the right places. I can point you to few:

Business Objects Composer

According to the Supported Platforms document for Business Objects Composer there is only a connectivity between Composer 11.7.0 and Data Integrator R2. The latest documentation of Composer in the Business Objects Product Guide is XIR2. Does Composer XIR2 (11.7.0) work with Data Services XI 3.1? Is it still conveniant to use Composer or was its functionality yet integrated in the functionality of DS?

Yes, the Composer version 11.7.1 is compatible with Data Integrator/Data Services XI 3.x. This means Composer will be able to use the Data Services XI 3.x webservices needed for the profiling and the generated atl for the jobs in Composer can be imported in Data Services XI 3.x.
Make sure you use the 11.7 .1 version and you should be fine.

Scheduling Options(CMC)/ Business Objects Xir2

Environment spec:
Aix 5.3
Business Objects Xir2
Crystal reports Xi
DB2
Tomcat
Whilst scheduling a report from the CMC, there is a 'Schedule For' tab
I am trying to determine how this option works, whilst scheduling for a selected group/users.
I have reviewed the relevant documentation in the Business Objects Administrators guides in reference to this including Xi, XiR2 and XiR3/3.1.
There is no clear definition.
I asked this question, as we are trying to determine if whilst using this option does BO execute the query and then filter data according to each group/user OR execute the query for each specific user/group. If the latter is the case then this will have a big impact on our environment resources.
unfortunately we have reach EOL for Business Objects XiR2 so tech support will no longer advise us.
If anyone can provide us with any insight or direction this will be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

HI,
Option u2018Schedule foru2019 is generally used when you want schedule the reports on behalf of other users such that when underlying queries hit the database, they use the useru2019s id and pull the data based on his authorization over the data.
With SAP BW as backend, the impact can easily be seen where a report will show different dataset if run for two different sap user who different data access. Same should be the case with other databases as well.
Thanks,

Beginners Guide sound installation -- OSS and ALSA objective features

Beginners Guide sound installation -- OSS and ALSA objective features needed
Hi,
In most wiki pages i just edit the things that i think need editing. Just look at the oss history
In all those cases i didn't really saw a need to ask for permission.. that would kinda destroy the wiki idea.
However i want to change the sound instructions in the beginners guide so i made a copy of the entire guide and the part that i changed there is: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Use … ling_Sound now i have a slight issue there. As you can see i'm in favor of OSS and because you can spot that it's not objective. Now i would ask 2 things.
1. Could you all post your features of OSS and ALSA
2. Once that's done can i have permission to place that section in the beginners guide? that will also include removing the sound installation from the beginners guide which i already did in my version
My personal reason to do this. i've read this and am since then pro OSS and against the ALSA/PulseAudio combo. i think that combo needs to get out of linux (most notably Fedora and Ubuntu) ASAP. and oss needs to go back into the linux kernel
Thank you for your time,
Mark

I'm an alsa/pulse user, so I'll give a bit of the 'other side'.
Alsa/pulse
Pros:-
network sound
advanced connection of sink/source (including merging sinks)
bluetooth support!
highly supported by existing apps, either through directly supporting Pulse or through its alsa plugin (you should not need to recompile properly-written apps which do not assume they should write audio data directly to hardware, I think I only needed to recompile mpd on my system)
Cons:-
Setup isn't the easiest. Can't comment vs OSS4 because I haven't tried it
OSS4
Pros:-
Everyone seems to say sound quality is better. I guess that's because they're comparing it with dmix alsa. Use pulse with alsa and you should not notice any difference in sound quality though.
Cons:-
Most apps nowadays default output to alsa. Meaning OSS plays them using an alsa plugin.
USB support is admittedly skimpy.
EDIT: Having read the sound article you referred to, my only comment is that the writer really has it in for Pulse... 3 seconds latency, where'd he get that from? I use pulse for audio recording (when I'm lazy to fire up JACK) and while there IS latency, its definitely in the ms range.
Thanx for the input

markg85, libflashsupport isn't needed. [1]
pacman -Ql oss | grep flash
If you don't know, please don't put in wiki, this could cause unnecessary problems. As for the mms section:
If your stream sounds ugly in totem like it did with me then you could try to play it with another codec like ffmpeg (mplayer). That "fixed" the issue for me. This will not fix the issue that somehow pops up in gstreamer when playing MMS streams but it will give you the option to play it with good sound quality. Playing it in mplayer is simple:
# mplayer mmsh://yourstreamurl
Could you fix this? ffmpeg is not a codec . Also define ugly, and what is somehow?
markg85 wrote:Thanx a lot for your feedback. i will certainly use it when i make more edits.
As for the things you didn't know. As soon as i fully understand how i can get a microphone working in OSS i will add that to the wiki as well. Unless you already know it.. in that case, feel free to add it.
For the mic, I did get mine going. Can't remember just how I did mine (sorry, think I had to disable one of the inputs), but do remember to prevent it from passing through the speakers had to disable "Misc Microphone".

For libflashsupport on the same page you linked it clearly states:
# Flash V9 and V10 require libflashsupport to output sound via OSS. Typically a 32-bit version of the library is required.
# Flash V10 has a 64-bit version which requires a 64 bit libflashsupport.
Also i tested it with and without libflashsupport. On archlinux (x64 running here) there most certainly is a need for libflashsupport when you want to have sound in your flash. And yes i tested the archlinux OSS version and the mercurial version (running now) bith need it installed manually! On my pc sound in flash didn't work without it but did with it. So, no not removing from the wiki as it's needed. But i see you removed it for me! please do NOT do that if you didn't even verified it. I use flash 10 x64 and i need it!
As for the ffmpeg "codec" changed it to backend.
And i did get the microphone working near perfect: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=13192
Now for some news you all might like.
On my school i need to do an investigation to whatever i want and i'm heavily thinking about investigating the pros/cons of alsa compared to oss (or oss compared to alsa). That investigation will take from monday next week till next mondey till friday 23 of oktober. In that investigation i'm going to do some in depth look of alsa and oss and that will include the usability as well.
Following up on that investigation i will spend another 8 weeks on my school making a volume control application that can be used with alsa and oss and easily expandable with other sound systems. The goal of this is to make one sound application that can manage (in the first place) alsa and oss. oss is going to be implemented and alsa is probably going to be dummy implemented because it's likely way to much for me to implement both.
Before you get to exited, both projects (investigating and making the application) are just made up today and i just don't know if both will get accepted by my school. I asked one teacher and he liked the idea a lot and could potentially have a value for the sound management under linux. Once i do get this started i will involve the community (YOU!) with this since this project can't be done without the community specially the investigation.
And once i start and have something to tell/ask i will blog about it on http://blog.mageprojects.com
edit::
And this idea already got dumped. read more a few posts down or click: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 34#p612634

SAP Business Objects Performance Tuning Guides

Hello everyone,
I'm currently looking for Performance Tuning guides for the hardware/software. In particular, parameters for the hardware. I'm having a hard time finding any kind of guides on the server side of Business Objects. So I'm wondering if anybody knows of some that are available on the internet or SAP site?
I've found very few in the software department. However, I'm looking more for the hardware portion of Business Objects. Basically the goal is to get the server as optimal as possible (As far as memory, parameters, CPU, etc) is concerned so we know it can't be a hardware issue. It's kind of narrowing down the potential problems we can have later on down the road so that's why this is very important right now.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Victor

Need to use business objects with a project, please guide on basics.

Hello
I am a dotnet developer (asp.net with C#). I am sorry I dont know much about Business objects. Our client a financial firm wants to use Business object with a web based application. I couldn't got a clear and good understanding of Business object. The client just said Business objects allows dynamically creating reports even clients can create reports very easily even without knowing SQL.
Kindly guide me about Business Object product and its what component I should check for using it. Please mention some links that can give me introduction.
Thanks a lot,
haansi

Hi
Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
Here you can see half an hour Webinars that give you a good understanding of Business Objects:

Business Objects XI Release 3.0/3.1 Enterprise Sizing Guide

Is there a Business Objects XI Release 3.0/3.1 Enterprise Sizing Guide available yet...?
We are trying to plan our hardware budget for next year.
I have reviewed both the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Deployment Planning Guide, and the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Deployment Planning Guide - but neither one gives you the actual counts of concurrent and simultaneous connections supported per CPU/Service in 3.0/3.1.
Edited by: Mark Richardson on Sep 16, 2008 4:49 PM

Hello,
In the deployement document for XI 3.O : "xi3_bip_deploy_plan_en.pdf",
Page 81, one reads : "It is also recommended that you contact your Business Objects sales
representative and request information about the BusinessObjects Enterprise
Sizing Guide. A Business Objects Services consultant can assess your
reporting environment and assist in determining the configuration to best
integrate with your current environment."
Therefore, such a document should exist.
Any news since the last post?
Thx in advance

Business Objects 3.x Enterprise Sizing Guide for Unix

Anyone see or have heard about a 3.x sizing guide specific to Unix? The current 3x sizing guide claims it addresses Unix....but it does not.

I don't believe there's a Sizing Guide specific to Unix. I expect one is supposed to speak to Business Objects Consulting Services for this information.
If you have'nt already, you could check with your account rep.

Where to start Business Objects

Post Author: proccontents
CA Forum: General
Hello All,
I am a SAS Programmer working in Pharmaceutical Industry of lately developed Interest to learn new Database OALP tools and I thought Business Object would be best for my field. As I know nothing about this tool/language I want your advice from BO gurus where I can start transaction from. I hear lot of things like Crystal reports Web reports BI . So any can help me where I can start and what should I start (Something like Start Crystal reports then BO ). Any good books for absolute beginners and if there is Place for tutorials and Place of software download Please.
I know it is one of the most mundane and stupid questions to ask but I would really appreciate a detailed response with Links.
Thanks Kumar

BAPIs or Function Modules for Links between different Business Objects

Hi experts,
I am accessing an SAP CRM 5.0 system from outside via remote function calls.
I have the GUID of a business partner and would like to find other business objects
that are related to this business partner.
For example:
- Which activities are relevant for this business partner?
- Which orders were placed by this business partner?
- Which leads or opportunities are linked to this business partner?
- Which products did this business partner order?
Is it possible to get this information by calling BAPIs or other RFC function modules?
Regards,
Karsten

After studying lots of documentation and trying to understand the BOL and GenIL concepts,
I finally found a function module which meets my demands. With function module
CRM_GENIL_GET_QUERY_RESULT you can execute a Search Object of the GenIL,
and it is remote-enabled.
By checking transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER and choosing component set "ALL"
you get a list of all defined Search Objects. The Search Object that finds all orders of a
business partner is "BTQuery1O".
DATA gt_parameter_list TYPE crmt_name_value_pair_tab.
DATA gs_parameter_list TYPE crmt_name_value_pair.
DATA gt_data_hdr       TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_hdr.
DATA gt_data_attr      TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_attr.
DATA gt_data_rels      TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_rel.
DATA gt_data_rel_obj   TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_rel_obj.
gs_parameter_list-name = 'BP_NUMBER'.
gs_parameter_list-value = '4000000011'.
APPEND gs_parameter_list TO gt_parameter_list.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_GENIL_GET_QUERY_RESULT'
EXPORTING
    iv_query_name                = 'BTQuery1O'
    it_parameter_list            = gt_parameter_list
TABLES
    et_data_hdr                  = gt_data_hdr
    et_data_attr                 = gt_data_attr
    et_data_rels                 = gt_data_rels
    et_data_rel_obj              = gt_data_rel_obj
EXCEPTIONS
    error_occured                = 1
    OTHERS                       = 2.
Before you can use the function module, you have to call function module CRM_GENIL_INIT
to initialize the GenIL.

Karsten

Error while creating Business Object

Hello All,
I am creating one business object for the Chapter ID. But while creating API method the error message is coming up as "Parameter <parametername> does not have a reference structure".
But I already defined BAPI Structure which has the required fields and also i follow the Std. naming convenions.
Kindly guide me for the same.
Egarly Waiting for the reply.
Regards
Nilesh Shete

Hi Nilesh,
could you please go a bit more into detail?
Best would be to post the interesting parts of your source code here.
At the moment I can only guess that you created an adaptive RFC model. But did you also create a context node and bind the model to it?
What do you mean with "creating API method" and "I am creating one business object for the Chapter ID"?
Regards
Helmut
