Business objects career path

Hi Guys
I am in the middle of career change and very interested in Business objects (analytic) but I do have only bachelor in business not in computer science
I was browsing profile for BO professionals in linkedin and all of them have background in computer science with extensive knowledge in database and ETL
If i want to get into training in Business objects how hard it will be?
and what are the blocks that I need to build strengths on before embarking in the training.
Thanks in advance to all for your precious feedback

Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4 Infoview and IE9 HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path

Hi There,
When I working in Infoview with IE9 32Bit or 64Bit and I right click on any object i.e Crystal Report, Folder, Webi Report etc. and select properties I get the following Error
HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path /PlatformServices/properties was requested
Has any one got a workaround or a solution for this problem.
Server - BOE XI 3.1 with SP4 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit.
Client PC`s\Laptops - Windows 7 64 bit
Kind Regards,
Frikkie

Dear all,
Seems the issue is browser compatibility ans the below solution may work in your case
HTTP 400 occurs because of URL difference between IE9 and older versions of supported IE. To resolve this issue, this error in Tomcat will be redirected to a HTML script that applies new URL format. Please follow this 3 steps process:
STEP ONE: Solution in InfoViewAppActions Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from InfoViewAppActions folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewAppActions\WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
 <error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
 </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
 </error-page>
 <error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/httperror_400.htm</location>
 </error-page>
STEP TWO: Solution in AnalyticalReporting Folder:
1) Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. This folder already has httperror_404.htm and httperror_500.jsp by default. Rename httperror_404.htm to httperror_404_backup.htm.
2) Copy and paste the attached file from AnalyticalReporting folder (httperror_400.htm and httperror_404.htm) into “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting” folder. Go to “D:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\ AnalyticalReporting \WEB-INF”
3) Take a backup of web.xml file and name it as web_backup.xml
4) Open the file and paste the following script after the Error 404 error handling and save.
Before:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
 </error-page>
After:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/httperror_404.htm</location>
 </error-page>

Dear sandeep pande ,
BO was brought up by SAP and It will soon be included in SAP BI in next recent versions.SO its better to join BI. as it has more scope these days/
YOu should know the advantages of BI over BO
BO is the reporting toll of data warw house
BI is itself a data ware house.
the next generation SAP BI will be using BO as reporting tool instead of BeX.
BO is the reporting toll of data warw house.
on the front end it has CrystalReports.
this suit will be used in SAP as front end for EIM.
the latest version of BO is BO 11. 3.
BI is itself a data ware house.
the next generation SAP BI will be using BO as reporting tool instead of BeX.

CAREER: ABAP to BI-Netweaver After Business object takeover

Hi all,

Thanks.

Hi Sandeep,
Lets be clear as this is a very frequent question - Business Objects is not replacing SAP NetWeaver BI. There are some future alignment and consolidation on the frontend tools going foward which is explained in the roadmap presentation found at this link: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects. The FAQ on this SDN page should also help answer your questions.
So investing on training in the SAP NetWeaver BI and Business Objects tools will not be any barrier to your future.. but a big advantage
Cheers,
Mike.

What is the best way to build a career path where I can evolve into an SAP role instead of one that is Customer Service based?

In October 2011, my previous employer converted to SAP, as the rest of the worldwide entities were already using SAP. At that time, I was an Order Coordinator, where my job role was to process all of the Inside/Outside Sales Representatives orders for the US. Because of my keen attention to detail, the speed in which I learn new roles and general IT knowledge, I was asked to be the SAP SuperUser for our Financial Operations team. I quickly began to learn the roles of Order-to-Cash, Customer Master Data, Pricing Conditions, Contracts, some Material Master Data, and even Customer/Material Pricing Audits. I also performed manual customer billing in SAP until the automatic modules were implemented. Knowledge of these roles created a need for me to become a trainer to my team, where the SAP Consultants left off. After only working in SAP for the few months after the conversion started, I evolved out of an Order Coordinator rights of access and was given a not-so-typical role as an "analyst". I had more than a firefighter role in SAP, as my normal log in credentials gave me full rights to all of these modules and even special reporting. Our parent global company realized necessity for my role and followed proper protocol to authorize the access changes to still meet the SOx regulations. Prior to using SAP, I never thought I'd fall in love with it and enjoy my job so much, but it happened! Despite my previous employer's less than perfect data that was copied into SAP, we managed to have an efficient ongoing process to clean it all up. I became more of a liaison between Financial Operations and our IT Dept/SAP Consultants. I "translated" the technical steps that IT/SAP Consultants were trying to teach everyone and trained my Financial Operations team in a way they would understand. I truly enjoyed my job, even at our most difficult moments.
However, after all of the fun I was having while working in SAP and truly gaining a ton of useful experience and knowledge, "life" happened and I had an opportunity to move from Atlanta, GA to southern California. I've searched for months to find a new career here in California with a company that I could continue my learning experiences and become more proficient in SAP, but I'm a little lost. My search to find jobs have only given me possibilities in Customer Service positions or ones that are SAP sales/programming based. I'm floating in limbo and looking for help from the SAP community on where I can go from here to get back into a career path with SAP.
I'm 28 years old and I'm currently finishing my Associate degree in Business Administration. I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), certified with the Help-Desk Institute as a Support Center Analyst, and also completed my previous employer's Quality Advocate Certification which focused on Six Sigma and Lean concepts. Prior to leaving the company, I was being considered for a company sponsored training in the Six Sigma Green or Black Belt program. I've recently started working a contract position as a Customer Service Rep, processing orders, but the company will be completing an SAP conversion in May 2013; so only a few months away. The problem I have in this position is that I feel frustrated in learning their current software when their entire team seems to have their own personal ways of doing their job. I prefer to have structure and perform job duties the right way, then building on that to make the job more streamlined. I spoke with my recruiter but he feels I may be a bit premature on feelings about working in this contract position. I may be just feeling a little impatient in having to wait another 3 months to see if the company may even hire me on permanently and what role I would have with SAP, beyond Customer Service Rep. I'm hoping to get some direction from the SAP community on where I might focus my attention in learning SAP. My hope is to find a position working with SAP like the one I enjoyed so much back in GA. I'm even considering options to learn the programming side. I think SAP is a great software package once people understand how it's designed, or can be designed, to work.
Please help!!
I'd be happy to provide my resume to anyone willing to review it and give me some pointers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I appreciate the length and detail of your post. I struggle answering questions from folks who give too little info. It's refreshing to have too much info for a change.
I'll summarize your post and give suggestions:
You have very strong end user experience, almost bordering on support level SD knowledge. You have experience with the way that at least one company implemented SAP SD but don't have many years of experience with different approaches, so you can't pitch yourself as someone who's "been-there, done-that" outside of the SD world and you can't bill yourself as having SD functional knowledge to the extend that you could be a consultant for SAP SD. (See FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP for descriptions of different traditional SAP career paths.)
You've moved to Southern California, which is chock full of companies using SAP, by the way, and you're having a hard time finding the right job. Your education is probably going to be problematic at this point. Most SAP related jobs require a Bachelor's Degree at a minimum. Definitely keep on going with your degree. I don't know where you're doing your associate's degree, but you might want to look in to Cal State Fullerton, which has an *excellent* SAP focused business degree program. (http://business.fullerton.edu/).
You've found work at a company but had to start over at a lower level of responsibility. Since the job you just landed will be transitioning to SAP in 3 months, you have an opportunity to repeat your previous rise by volunteering to be a super-user again. Alternatively, you could talk to the group within your company and express your desire to help out supporting the system from the back end. Traditionally, companies lose a few folks immediately following an implementation, so there's a good chance that if you make your desires and skills known, that you'll be able to move onto the support team once a position opens up.
All of the above assumes that you want to continue on the functional side of SD. You didn't mention any aptitude or preference for programming. It is certainly easier to get programming jobs than functional jobs (see How did you get your start in SAP?), but it seems like you really enjoyed the functional side of SAP. I do *not* recommend learning an SAP skill for which you have no desire simply to get a job, hoping that you can switch later. Use the skills you have to get the job you really want, doing something that really excites you. It's far to easy to fall into a job simply because it's there and get trapped and burned out.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Problems with Java and Business Objects

Hello everybody, I'm new in BusinessObjects/Crystal Report. Now, I have some problems with Business Objects for Java (Business Objects XI Release 2 Developer). 1) I create a report in the report designer. This report has a parameterfield. Before I run this report within a jsp web application I want fill the parameterfield with some values from the database. I found the following code snippet for this problem in your forum. But it don't works right, because it occurs a simple input field instead of a combo box with my database values. Where is my mistake? I need the combo box! (In debug mode I saw that the parameterfield was filled with my data!)<%@page import="com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer,com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase, java.io.IOException, java.sql.Connection, java.sql.DriverManager, java.sql.ResultSet, java.sql.SQLException, java.sql.Statement, java.util.Locale, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.DataDefController, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.FieldDisplayNameType, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.ParameterField, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.ParameterFieldDiscreteValue, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.Values, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource"%><% try { String reportName = "avoParameterfeld.rpt"; ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName); if (clientDoc == null) { // Report can be opened from the relative location specified in the CRConfig.xml, or the report location // tag can be removed to open the reports as Java resources or using an absolute path // (absolute path not recommended for Web applications). clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); clientDoc.setReportAppServer("inproc:jrc"); // Open report clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly); // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet String connectStr = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@it1srv19:1521:itoracle"; String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"; String userName = "user"; String password = "password"; // TODO: Ensure this query is valid in your database.

I used the method 'setDataSource(ResultSet rs, String oldTableAlias, String newTableAlias)' of the 'DatabaseController'. I got a message like this: 'At present in Java reporting Component does not implement'. I use JRC and the docs (http://support.businessobjects.com/global/interactive/xi/om/JRC/default.html) show me this method. Is it not possible to change the data at runtime in JRC? (I tried it with the methods 'setDataSource(IXMLDataSet rs, String oldTableAlias, String newTableAlias)', 'setDataSource(Object newds)', 'setDataSource(IDataSet ds, String oldTableAlias, String newTableAlias)', too. But the result was the same!) 3) I tried to use Business Objects in JSF framework (Ver MyFaces 1.1.3) with the same samples above. But in JSF nothing work! I got the following exception. What is my problem?

Which Business Objects are you referring to.
MS .NET has a thing called Business Objects but they only work in .NET.

We are certainly stuck and the defaultTrace file is not very informative. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

This is resolve with note 1615838 - SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal 7.3 iView creation with BI 4.0 results in exceptions.
The note includes a file portalapp.xml that need to be inserted into com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.par that is included in the BI server distribution.
Then deploy the ear file.....
Odd thing is that the note mentions 4.0 and we are on 4.1 SP3...

Hi,
case 1: for WDP, you can create the web service model via "Import Adaptive Web Service" or "Import Web Service Model (deprecated)" by supplying wsdl URL.

case 2: In ABAP, create a proxy object at trx code SE80.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/bf/d005244e9d1d4d92b2fe7935556b4c/frameset.htm
Both cases are wizard-based. It's pretty intuitive.

Problem Installing Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 on AIX 5.3

Hi,
We installed Business Objects XI 3.1 first on AIX 5.3 and everything worked fine.
Once we apply BO XI 3.1 SP2 patch (by running the install.sh script from the
BO XI 3.1 SP2 install bits) onto the Business Objects XI 3.1instance, the following error
[error] Errcode 1: gzip -dc "/apps/truecomp/boXI31-temp/xi31_sp2/pkg/jdk00000.tar.gz" | /bin/tar xvfb - 1
during the installation ( when we checked, the package "jdk00000.tar.gz" contained mostly some libraries
that are already existing under the installed java/bin directory, the error is likely due to tar command can't
overwrite the existing files there), and it seems that the library files in "jdk00000.tar.gz" package are same as
the existing files under java/bin directory. So this error may not matter (just our guess).
The real problem for us after installing BO XI 3.1 SP2 is that, the tomcat log (file name "catalina.out") throws
the following exception and tomcat can't start up, so we can't log onto CMC anymore. Anyone know if this is
a known issue or any solution or workaround? The frustrating thing is that, SP2 can't be uninstalled (
it likely thinks SP2 was not installed successfully), and this whole BO XI 3.1 instance is not usable anymore,
we have to remove the whole thing altogether (no way to remove just SP2 part).

Just want to add to the original question that:
the directory (in the error stack from tomcat)
/apps/truecomp/BOXI31/bobje/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost is NOT even existing on the

Would really appreciate any comments on this problem, especially from SAP support team.
We are really stuck here.
Thanks.

Migrating Unmanaged Reports from CE 10 to Business Objects XI R2

Hello all,
We are in the process of migrating our report server from CE 10 to BOJ XI R2.
I'm having issues trying to access Unmanaged Reports using a URL. In CE10 we were able to access unmanaged reports using a URL such as HTTP://<servername>/crystal/enterprise10/MyReport.rpt
But now in BOJ XIR2, when accessing reports using an equivalent URL such as http://<servername>/businessobjects/MyReport.rpt
or
http://<servername>/businessobjects/enterprise115/MyReport.rpt I get the below error
WCA plugin error
Message:An exception has occurred in the plugin with message:
Failed to initialize viewrpt component, with path
<INSTALLDIR>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/wcs/components/libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so.
Component may be unavailable.
Is this approach not supported now? I know that in CE10 this approach was deprecated but still supported ( as mentioned in note "1217747 - Unmanaged URL web reporting does not work in Crystal Reports 9 (and later) " )
Or, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Is there a simple work around, short of hosting all the reports on the enterprise server and using any SDK.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I copied libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so from CE10 to the required dir in BOJ, and tried again. This time the library error was on another library. Error keeps cascading and I stopped. I know this is not the right approach, but this tells me they must have removed/changed this feature.
Previous Setup that works
Crystal Enterprise 10 on Solaris 8
Sybase 12
Weblogic
New Setup that I'm having issue with
Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 on Solaris 10. Installed SP2 followed by SP5

The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
I hope this helps

Language attributes for business objects ERC_CDCY

Hello,
I need to activate TREX index ERC_CDCY from our e-recruiting system using SES_ADMIN transaction.
When I activate it, I receive error message UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION (CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB) at the
relational index level (Relation of candidacy).
I opened a message with SAPnet and got the following answer:
Indexes are only created in english compared to others systems that contains indexes in both languages (EN, FR). We could not find any french attributes for business objects ERC_CDCY which is required (at least 7 words) to index it in french language.
Do you know which transaction or SPRO menu path I could use to maintain de language attributes and the 7 words?
Thanks for you help
Hugo

Hello Huga,
About maintaining the language in E-Rec you can have a look at the table
V_T77RCF_SELANGU, there you can maintain the different language.
The exception you are getting might be coming from the TREX side. please check the following notes:
1260684 SQL statement terminates: "Too Complicated SQL
1249465 TREX 7.1: Installing TREX for Embedded Search
