Business Objects in 3 Tier

Dear experts -
I was getting an error -> error.inf. This is how this error is getting generated. We have 3 tier architecutre setup for BO because of security issues. Our users have desktop intelligence access through infoview.
1. Rights we have given the users is, users should only refresh the reports from infoview.
2. We disabled the access to launch deski from infoview.
for the above scenario we are getting error.inf.
What should we do to get rid of the error. Please suggest
Regards

Hi
I have the same issue in our environment, we migrated from 6.5 to 3.0 , and for some deski reports if we try to view them through infoview they give this Open document error which says (ERROR:INF)
NOTE: Please note that it is an intermittent error, as sometimes the report runs ok, but more often it just shows the error.
did any of you happens to resolve this issue ??
Thanks in advance

Business Object on SAP Web Application server.

Experts,
Can Business Objects be installed on SAP Web Application Server?
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks

Matt,
Thanks for your input.
I found this information on SDN
Can Business Object Enterprise Web Tier be deployed on SAP NetWeaver system with usage type AS Java?"Yes, this is supported for Java 1.4 (NW 7.0), see http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/supported_platforms/default.asp
However, the BOE Web Tier is not shipped with SAP NetWeaver, but can be deployed on an SAP NetWeaver system with usage type AS Java at customer side.
SAP is evaluating if we could ship the Busines Object Enterprise Web Tier with SAP NetWeaver in the future but that cannot be confirmed yet.
Still, in this scenario, the Busines Object Enterprise backend server would need to be installed as a separate server."
Can the Busines Object Enterprise backend server be deployed on an SAP NetWeaver system with usage type AS Java?
"No, as this is not a J2EE application, but a mix of Java and C++.
SAP is evaluating if the Busines Object Enterprise backend server could be shipped as a ""Standalone engine"" (as it is the case for BIA and Livecache
Can the whole or at least relevant parts of the whole Busines Object Enterprise be deployed to the NetWeaver J2EE server, so that distinct scenarios for Busines Object applications run without the need to install a separate Busines Object Enterprise backend server?
This scenario is currently planned for the next generation Analysis Client (Project: Pioneer) and evaluated for the Java based Crystal Version.
I am trying to understand the difference between BOE Web Tier and Busines Object Enterprise backend server....can you throw some light on it if you can.
I am a SAP BI consultant and one of my customers have this question on BOBJ. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Running XI and 6.5 Services on same Business Objects Server

We are currently thinking about migrating to Business Objects XI from 6.5 SP4.
We are running with a 3-tier architecture, with the Business Objects services running on a Windows Server.
Due to the number of users and reports in circulation we would like to do the migration in phases.
Is it possible to run both the XI and 6.5 services on the same Business Objects server at the same time?

That's actually a migration secanario so it should work fine. I had no trouble with 5.2 and 6.0 on the same system.

Business Objects - Lifecyle Management Services

Is there anyone who knows about BOE LCM? We are planning to install a 3-tier (Dev/QA/Prod) Business Objects environments. Our desire is to develop in Dev, move to QA for testing and Prod. We would prefer not to have end users develop Xcelsius dashboards in production. Just looking for anyone with experience or additional SAP documentation I can not find.
Thanks,
John

Bug with Business Objects 3.1 Client installation. Very annoying indeed.

I have faced a few issues while developing with the Client installation (which includes the Client Development SDK) of business objects 3.1.
Some of the code just don't work with the client installation. They give Invalid cast exceptions. The same code will work fine with the server installation.
For a simple example, consider the following straightforward code to set the destination-
String query = "Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID "
          + " From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_PARENTID=29 and "
          + " SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'";
        InfoObjects destinationInfoObjects = infostore.Query(query);
        InfoObject infoObject = destinationInfoObjects[1];
        //Set the options for the disk unmanaged destination
        DestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (DestinationPlugin)infoObject;
        DiskUnmanaged diskUnmanaged = (DiskUnmanaged)destinationPlugin;
        DestinationOptions destinationOptions = diskUnmanaged.ScheduleOptions;
        DiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = new DiskUnmanagedOptions(destinationOptions);
        diskUnmanagedOptions.DestinationFiles.Add("C:\\");
        diskUnmanagedOptions.UserName = "your_username"; //Change these according to your logon settings.
        diskUnmanagedOptions.Password = "your_password";
        schedulingInfo = publication.SchedulingInfo;
        schedulingInfo.Destination.SetFromPlugin(diskUnmanaged);
This code will give an invalid cast exception as follows-
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoObject' to type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.DestinationPlugin'.
This happens at the line -
DestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (DestinationPlugin)infoObject;
Now, this code works fine on a box where the server is installed.
I have noticed this with a few other areas as well where the code fails with client installation but works on the server. This is really annoying because all the deveopers now have to install the server on their boxes.
It is actually worse if just the Client Developer SDK is installed (and not the whole client). You would expect that just the SDK installation would be enough for one to do the coding. But doesn't work at all.
Have others not faced this issue?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response. However, what I meant by client installation is exactly as what you have said below.
I start the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Setup, go to custom install, which shows up the following options-
Client Components
Web Tier Components
Server Components
Database Access
etc. etc.
Initially I unselected all, drilled down Client Components and just installed the Developer Components. But the code used to fail with an InvalidCast exception when we used to cast an InfoObject to a Report as following-
Report report = (Report)infoObjects[1];
This code used to work fine with earlier installations of business objects.
This happened with all 3 of us who installed just the Dev components. To get over this we installed the whole Client Components and the above problem got resolved.
And now we realize that even the whole Client Comp is not enough because it gives the casting problem while doing the destination stuff.

Best Strategy for Integrating Crystal/Business Objects with OpenACS Environment

Post Author: devashanti
CA Forum: Deployment
I'm working for a client that uses AOL server and OpenACS for their web services/applications. I need suggestions on the best strategy to integrate a reporting solution using Business Objects XI. Ideally I'd like to send an API call from our web application's GUI to the Crystal API with report parameter values to pass into specific reports called via the API - I can get it down to one integer value being passed - or if this is not possible a way to seamlessly, from the end user perspective, move into a reporting module. We are using an Oracle backend database. I'm experienced with creating stored procedures and packages for reporting purposes.
Although I have many years of experience integrating the Crystal active X controls into n-tier client server applications, the past few years I have had little opportunity to work with Business Objects and the newer versions of Crystal or web based solutions with Crystal Reports. I signed up to try out crystalreports.com, but I doubt my client will find this solution acceptable for security reasons as the reports are for an online invoicing system we are developing. However we can set up a reports server in-house if necessary, so it gives me some testing ground.
Can anyone provide suggestions for a doable strategy?

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,
Ludek

Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 Compatability

Hi,
We are currently using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 and are migrating to a new server. The new build is running Windwos server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 R2. Will BO be compatible with the new build since we want to install it on the new server and not just point all the ties to the new server.
Thanks!

the version you have appear to be XI3.1 RTM, which will not be compatible with Win2012.
You can see what's compatible with what in the PAM (Platfroms Support guide) here :

Reporting of recursive tables with Business Objects 6.1

Post Author: pk7
CA Forum: Publishing
Can anyone tell us how to traverse recursive tables with Business Objects 6.1? For example, let's say you have an Employee table with Emp_ID, Name, Manager_ID. Like so:
Emp_ID Name   Manager_ID
1           Jeff           4
2          Grace        3
3           Stacey      1
4           Wayne      null
The task is to report the hierarchy of employees starting with one employee (e.g. Grace) and showing who ALL of her superiors are. Desired result would be:
Grace
      Stacey
            Jeff
                   Wayne
We have seen the expanation the seems to require the duplication of a table but we prefer not to have the same data stored in multiple tables.
Thx!

Data federator in business objects

Hi,
What is the use of data federator in business objects.
Regards,
G

HI,
The only option in this case is to 1) use Business Objects' Data Federator to bring XYZ data and BW (new) data together, 2) creating a relational universe, and 3) creating Crystal / WEBI reports using the relational universe; see Picture 1.
>> You can also combine the data by using a MultiProvider in BW which is access the data in BW and the data in the legacy system and an additional alternative is to move all the data into BW.
After 20 years goes by, and we no longer need to report on data housed in XYZ anymore, the environment will be turned off.
1) When this happens, wouldn't we want to remove Data Federator and the relational universe from the scenario ?
>> That depends on the approach you took

SAP Log on into Business Objects server not working (Error FWB 00014)

Hello,
I recently installed Business Objects XI 3.1 Edge series, I am able to logon to enterprise and everything is working fine. I am even able to import roles from SAP system but I have two problems.
1. Logging on to enterprise using SAP user: I am getting the following error message when I choose SAP in the Athentication and enter SAP username and password and click log on.
"Account Information Not Recognized: All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses. (FWB 00014)".
2. Logging on to SAP system through SAP Logon pad: When I enter my username and passord in SAP system from the same server as I installed BusinessObjects I am getting a run time error.
Did any one of you had the same problem or does any one of you have any clue how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume that you have a key for named licences (You can check this in the CMC under Licence keys).
What you need to do is to go in the CMC, navigate to Authentication->SAP->Options and select the Named users option.

What is the diffrence between BAPI and RFC and business object

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tel me what is the diffrence between RFC and BAPI , and also what is ther relation with business object?
Thanx in advance.
Nilesh Hiwale

Hi,
BAPI's are associated with Business Objects and also they are RFC enabled.
But RFC's are the FM's which can be called from external systems, those FM's can be used in many places based on the applications..
Check these Links
whats the difference between BAPI and RFC??

BI-IP and Business Objects?

Please refer to the thread:
BI-IP and Business Objects?

Ian,
reading through the messages, there seem to be a few questions that are raised. After attending SAP Financials 2008, here is what I got from it:
1. IP vs BPC: IP is still in production and will be developed (no commitment on time though. I was told somewhere between 18-24 months before it goes to maintenance mode). There is some functionality difference from BPC and right now these are two separate products. There is a talk of a possible integration in the "distant" future
2. BPC is in process of being developed for BI, but currently it is only running on top of Microsoft SQL server. The BI version is slated to be released June 28th, but majority of the experts are fairly pessimistic about that date.
Now, the main question is what will happen to IP when BEx and BO tools converge into one - based on my understanding, we are going to see ADDITIONAL functionality. Since all the WAD and Excel activities are based on BEx API's, it is highly unlikely that they are going to be dismissed in the new product. The process in which we assign functions/commands to the planning model might change, but I think only for the best

How to WorkDay() Excel Function in Business Objects Web Intelligence 12.2.7

Hi,
I am calculating OTD SLA metrics using the Business Object Web Intelligence, but I am stuck with the WorkDay() how to use this in BO, as it is available in Excel. Requirement is that I need to add business days (Saturdays and Sundays should not be considered) to a particular date. Greatly appreciate if some one can help me immediately as this is high priority right now and need to complete it <REMOVED_BY_MODERATOR>. Thank you, Shiv. Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Pravender on Nov 22, 2010 11:18 AM

Thank you for trying to reply.
What exactly I need is that:
Example:
11/19/2010 + 3 this should give me the date 11/24/2010 which is actually excluding Sat and Sun and adding only the business days to the date.
Please provide me full formula
Thanks in advance, Shiv
