Business Objects connectivity to Oracle

Hello all,
SID SERIAL# USERNAME SCHEMANAME OSUSER MACHINE TERMINAL PROGRAM LOGON_TIME
105 144 SYS boapp boprod WIReportServer@boprod (TNS V1-V3) 3/16/2011 6:00:57 AM
92 13453 SYS boapp boprod WIReportServer@boprod (TNS V1-V3) 3/15/2011 2:19:55 PM
In a database that I inherited recently I noticed the above connections coming from a Business Objects server. What was wierd was that the connections were logged in as SYS. I'm pretty sure that no one in the Business objects team knows the SYS database password. I'm not sure how this could be possible...I also noticed from the above output that the schemname was null. Any ideas?
Oracle version: 10.2.0.4
Host: HP-UX 11.11
BusinessObjects R2 Service Pack 6
Host: HP-UX 11.11
Thanks for your time...

Make sure no user has been granted SYSDBA privilege; check output of:
select * from v$pwfile_users where sysdba='TRUE';If this query returns a username different from SYS then this user can connect with SYSDBA privilege and his/her SYSDBA sessions will have USERNAME set to SYS.

Business Objects XI R2 - Oracle Stored Proc - Deski report failing

Business Objects XI R2
Hi All,
I have a stored proc created in Oracle 10 - see bottom for code
I run a deski report on iit - using it as a datasource. This works fine in Desktop Intelligence until I schedule the report from infoview - then I get the following error...
"Object failed to run due to an error while processing on the Job Server"
My other deski reports based on Universes are ok.
create or replace procedure test_PROC1
(Test_Rpt_Cur OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
is
begin
open Test_Rpt_Cur FOR
SELECT ID, FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME
FROM test_table;
end test_proc1;

Hi,
Cause of this issue :
Once the Job Server recieves the scheduled job and spawns a new child process, the child process is unable to complete the job. The child process constantly is waiting to load the job. Looking further into the log and specifically the startup script, the -port option was incorrectly used (-restart-port) and didn't allow the child process to bind to the correct port using the correct DNS name.
In Order to resolve this issue follow the steps given below..
1.Open CCM
2. Stop Server
3. Right Click Server and go to Properties
4. insert -port option in to command line, example below
ex. "
win2k3\C$\ProgramFiles\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\JobServerFullClient.exe" -service -name win2k3.Desktop_IntelligenceJobServer -ns win2k3 -objectType CrystalEnterprise.FullClient -lib pp_procFC -jsTypeDescription "Desktop Intelligence Job Server" -maxDesktops 0 -restart -port win2k3.it.bo.example
5. Save setting and restart server.
Hope it helps.

Dashboard Designer *.swf Business Object connection issue

We have *.swf file generated from SAP Dashboard Designer.
It uses database to retrieve information for report.
We have placed *.swf to our web application so that users have a possibility to review reports.
Let say our web application with *.swf file is placed on 192.168.0.1 server and Business Object is placed on 192.168.0.2 server.
The problem is that we are getting an error when we are trying to connect to report via *.swf file (http://192.168.0.1/report.swf) from client machine (from any computer in Internet) because the server with the Business Object (192.168.0.2) is not exposed to Internet. However it is exposed to 192.168.0.1.
So, the question is - is it possible to connect to BO (192.168.0.2) by oppening the *.swf that is placed on http://192.168.0.1/report.swf when BO server is exposed only to 192.168.0.1? Please, advise.

Hi Danylo,
Can you provide a screenshot of the error message that you get when you try to access the dashboard?
Also let us know what data connections are defined in the dashboard.

1)     Install the specified Microsoft security patch in accordance with the instructions in SAP Note 1375494 in BOBJ Server
2)     Download SAPHOSTAGENT711_56-20006321.SAR and uncared.
3)     The login user requires authorization to create a service. To set this specific authorization, do the following:
a.     On the Microsoft Windows host, choose Start Control Panel  Administrative Tools  Local Security Policy .
b.     In the navigation bar, choose Security Settings  Local Policies  User Rights Assignment , and then double-click the line Log on as a service.
c.     Add the login user to the list by choosing the Add User or Groupu2026 button and entering this user.
4)     SAP HOSTAGENT version 7.11 instead 7.20. Then again upgraded to 7.20 version
5)     Downloaded the attached file ewa4boe.zip in SAP Note 1393207 onto C:\EWA folder of BOBJ server and extracted. As administration user, executed the batch script enable_ewa_monitoring.bat by invoking enable_ewa_monitoring.bat
I hope this resolves

How Business Objects connects with Composite Studio 4.6.0

Hi,
Info on Composite:
Composite Studio is third party tool which connects to multiple data sources and executes the scripts (similiar to VIEW) to retrieve the results. One has to make call to the scripts to get the results.
more information: http://www.compositesw.com
Requirement:
Trying to connect BO XI R3.1 to composite as to call scripts to get data and then create Universe on the same.
Connectivity should be JDBC or oriented towards Java (preference for Java but not mandatory)
Tool: Composite Studio 4.6.0
Driver: composite46.dll
Driver location: C:\Program Files\Composite Software\CIS 4.6.0\apps\odbc

Arjun Kushwaha

It will be great if you could let us know how to built the Universe on top of Composite, may be using ODBC connection.
I tried by creating the user / system DSN but these connections doesn't appear when tried to create the Universe in designer (using BO XI 3.1)
We can then try to build using JDBC connection.
The data source is very scattered and Composite is in the position to handle them all and hence we cannot eliminate composite and are forced to use it as one of the underlying layer to connect to actual data.

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.

Does OracleAS 10g support business objects

How can I integrate Business Objects(BO) with OracleAS 10g Portal is there some built in portlet or plug in for this... and where can I find documentation for this...
Do you actually need to have a business objects license for each user to be able to run something through the Portal that was created in BO?

Not yet but look for new supported platforms docs when SP3 is released (Mayish). I still think windows 7 will work fine IMO but if you are looking for official testing/support then SP3 should have it.

Tim

Business Objects Authorization

Hi Gurus,
We are planning to implement Business Objects XI in 2 of our projects. In one of our projects data is stored in SAP BW cubes and in the other project we have data stored directly in SQL.
I have tried to investigate in detail for authorization concept in both enviroments but I could not find much. I heard it is possible to use existing authorization concept developed in BW but I do not know if this is correct.
Now my questions are the following:
1 - Is it possible to use existing BW authorization concept in Business Objects reporting?
2- In general how authorization issue is handled in Business Objects regarding SQL, Oracle, etc?
3- I would appreciate if you can recommend / send some documents
I really appreciate your help and thanks in advance for your valuable support.
Thanks and best regards,
Arda.

Hi,
comments inlined:
1 - Is it possible to use existing BW authorization concept in Business Objects reporting?
>> yes by using SSO and Server side Trust you can leverage the authorizations configured in you BI System without the need to replicate them
2- In general how authorization issue is handled in Business Objects regarding SQL, Oracle, etc?
>> that depends on your choice. there are also options to define data level security in a Universe.
3- I would appreciate if you can recommend / send some documents
>> take a look at the documentation for the Universe Designer and the SAP integration Kit available on help.sap.com

Business Objects XI 3.1 Connection to Oracle 10

I am new to the world of Business Objects and In Universe Designer, when I try to create an Oracle OCI connection, I get the following error:
CS:DBDriver failed to load : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\ConnectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found).
The path for windows environment variable is :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin\OpC;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin\;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\lib\
Also, when I try to use cscheck on server to check connection, nothing happens - is there any setting I have to make to get this working. I have used SQLPLUS to connect to the database successfully.
Any help or pointers appreciated

Hi Michelle,
Please restart the connection server and try again. In case Oracle client was installed after installing BOE, restart of Connection server might be required. You can also verify if all the Orcale libraries are indeed inside the Oracle/bin. When you install Oracle instant clinet there will be no bin. the binaries will be present C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\. Please try these two option.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Monitoring changes in Oracle Database with Business Objects

Hi: I need to know if there is a Business Objects tool that allows me to be constantly checking one Oracle database to see if there are changes. The customer is not permitted to access the database, only has enabled a stored procedure that returns a string value if there are changes or not. That string (XML) is performed by DataServices later with BO to generate something. I would like to know if there is any product of BO (Data Integrator, etc ...) that allows me to take an active process of consultation on the Stored Procedure and that the consultation is launched every 10-15 seconds.
Thanks in advance
Santi
