Business Objects Level

Hi Experts,
I heard ESOA is different from R/3 in such a way that there are no tables but Business Object levels Example : (SAP TMS standalone system). I am not able imagine any transaction or postings not going to tables in SAP. Kindly somebody throw me some light on this fact how it so happens in ESOA. I tried searching the forum unsuccessfully. Kindly if there are some links regarding it send me. I am basically a BW consultant. If there are no tables as such how can datasource be created if there are no tables.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rose.

Hi !
have a look at this Blog ..can get some idea ...just check

Two Business Objects to fill a Data Grid/table using Anchors?

Hi,
I have a SAP standard tile were a table (grid) is filled by an Business Object. I want to add an additional column and retrieve the value from another Business Object.
My questions
1) Can I use Anchors to automatically set the relationship between two Business Objects A & B, so that I can just Drag & Drop an additional field from Business Object B to the DataGrid of Business Object A in the design screen without writing additional code?
2) Some BO's do come with a predefined relationship to other BO's, but in the case of I have to write a supply function do I have to use a specific "Data Source Type" such as "Business Object", "BusinessQuery" or "Business CollectioN"?
3) I already tried to write a supply function, but I realized that the system does return for some BO's or BS's a object instance, if I call "gFactory.newBusinessQuery". Is there any logic/restriction behind?
I know I can use RowLoaded2 and a unbound column, but I want to know if this approach is also possible?
Thank you for any help,
Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
The answer to your question is YES. You can very well do it without any changes at the code level.
The scenerio can be implemented using a concept called JointField Mapping in MAS.
Scenerio 1 :
If you want to display the extra field from another BO in a list tile on the click of a search button from the search tile , then
Please do the following :
1. Select the Busines Query that you have associated to the search tile and go to properties from the View Designer.
2. In the properties, Click on the Joint Field Mapping and select the BO where the extra field id present and select the primary key, Segment Field associated, (extra field)BO Property that you want to display in the list tile.
2. Add a new control (new Field) in the List tile - ie, From the Toolbox (Tileset COntrols).
3.Go to properties of the newly added control. Associate the anchor as the same achor as the list tile was pointing to earlier. for eg : Y_BOCAPGEN.
4. Then Go to BCOLFieldName property and give the property name as the newly added BO property name(New field).
After everything is modelled, You will be able to see the extra field in your application!!!!
NOTE : Ofcourse, After the Successful generation.
Scenerio 2 :
If you want to display an Extra Field in a Detail tile,
1. Go to Relationship of the BO from the Detail tile and go to properties.
2. In the properties, You can find the Joint Field Mapping porperty.
3. This property is again modelled as explained in scenerio 1.
Hope, It would have definetly helped and answered your query.
Have a good day!!

Need toughts on approach. Client moving to Maconomy/Business Objects

Post Author: klokhammer
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi.On of our important clients are most likely to migrate between economy systems within the next 9 months. Case as follows:
We have developed a budgeting/forecast and reporting system for a certain market/company. The solution is based on a Microsoft SQL 2000 database/server with Microsoft Access as application interface. The solution is integrated and gets actual figures from the economy system Aspect on a IBM iSeries (AS400) system. The "edge" of the system lies in sophisticated budgeting/forecast routines, the report module is rather poor....
The client is now most likely to migrate to Maconomy as the new economy system, and Maconomy AnalytiX as the new BI system (which I understand uses Business Objects.)
We are new to Business Objects and need general recommendations on what level we should try to integrate on. Should we "ditch" all the development done in Access and build a new solutions through Business Objects, keeping all the business logics, but not the interface?
Should we try to integrate on a database level, keeping the interface in Access (for budgeting/forecast), and exporting data into Business Objects to allow reporting through Maconomy AnalytiX?
As you most likely have understood, my knowledge about Business Objects are pretty poor. But please try to give me your thoughts on how we should move along, and what kind of "standard" considerations we must have in mind.
Kind regardsklokhammer

klokhammer,
I checked out Macanomy's web site and searched for references to Business Objects, and sure enough it is mentioned here and there. What it sounds like is that Macanomy has developed some "Macanomy Standard Reports" using BusObjects, so if you want these nifty Macanomy reports available to you, you buy the Macanomy product, which is bundled w/ BusObjects, and voila you have the reports. It sounds like a winning strategy. On the other hand, in order to get this type of capability, an organization would have to hire a staff to purchase and install Business Objects, then the staff would have to understand the financial database that the client has established and populated, and then the staff would have to set about building the reports that are needed. With Macanomy, it seems that you get the whole kit and kaboodle in one swoop, which is good for an organization providing that it is on the same wave-length as Macanomy. In regards to your question about what to do with your existing infrastructure, this is a call only you and your client can make. In IT, it's always about the data and how it is used. Peeling back the onion a bit, the process works like this: in order for the Macanomy reports to work, the report must be properly built and it must read from a "universe", which is a BusObjects term for defining the interface between the user and the database (the meta data process). In order for the universe to exist, it must be built by a "Universe Designer". The Universe Designer must have an intracate knowledge of how every table in the database will be used to support the reports that the end-user wants to have (either pre-canned (standard) or ad hoc capability). The database is still a critical piece, and reviewing the Macanomy offering I have a funny feeling that they come in with their own database structure and universe, which makes their process a much quicker install. The downside, as it appears to me, is how you would migrate your existing data into the Macanomy structure (this goes back to the two parties being on the same wavelength). I think in your case it's going to be a matter of ditching your database structure in MS SQL 2000 and Access, and adopting the Macanomy structure, but this may be more painful to do than any one at this point realizes. It sounds like you need to continue arming yourself with knowledge before making any final decisions. Good luck, and perhaps keep all of us posted on your experiences.

Issue with the Data Type 'Number' in Business Objects

Hi,
I have an Object in the Universe where the Data Type of the Object is a number. This Column pertaining to this Object has certain values in the database out of which there is a 17 Digit Value which is 00000000031101165.
Now, when trying to retreive the same value through Business Objects it is getting rounded off to 00000000031101200 automatically when trying to view in Webi and when trying to retreive the same in Designer/Deski, it displays as 0.000000003110116E+16.
So, I would like to know if there is any other alternative in trying to retreive the Original Value that would not round off. Also, do we have any Limitation for the Data Type Number in Business Objects? The Version we are on is XI3.1.
Note: There are no functions that are used on this Object at the Universe Level and would not like to use any functions here.

What is the underlying database?
It looks like the data is considered to have two decimals, but is rounded to zero decimals.
Only you don't see the number formatting.
Is this a BW query?
Is this a calculated keyfigure?
In the query you can specify the rounding you want and it is also possible to specify it on an infoobject level.
Check those settings...
Hope this helps,
Marianne
PS. Oh, and about the formatting, you can specify a default object format in the universe and override it on the final client (WebI, Crystal)

Which business object to be used BUS2015 or BUS2009

Hi Workflow gurus,
I have an issue in sending external mail when Purchase requisition is saved.
Issue:
When purchase requisition is saved, I need to send an external mail to MS outlook of the approver. Here the issue is whether I should use the business object BUS2105 or BUS2009.
BUS2015 is for Overall release. BUS2009 is item-level release. Since I need to send one mail to each approver based on item value.
Here I am using BUS2015 and get the line item details like price, purchase group and release code from the table and segregating items based on item value and release code.
Then sending one mail to each approver stating You have PR and line items 1, 3, to approve.
However our on-site people asking me to use the business object BUS2009, Please let me know am I doing correct or I should use business object BUS2009. If I have to use business object BUS2009 how should I sent the external mail to individual approver for multiple line items.
Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
Regards

Hi..
Check release strategy used for PR. If release strategy is configured for overall release of requisition, you can use BUS2105. (Check IMG > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase requisition > release procedure > set up procedure with classification > release groups. Check tick on overall release)
In case release strategy is configured as item level release, use objet BUS 2009.

I have found my own solution, if only temporary, until another Java update clobbers me…
I followed the Java instructions to delete Java 7 at http://java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
Then I followed the Apple instructions to get back to Java 6 at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559, which involves using the Terminal application.
Then I closed Safari, and relaunched. It is now back to where it has been for the past year, working!

Problem with Business object attributes in UWL Workitem description

Hi All,
I have developed a workflow which sends the workitem for two level approvals. Once the workflow is triggered workitem sent to the respective user for approval. When user opens the workitem in inbox he can see all the data which comes from the 'Z' Business object in R/3 and he can approve the same. Everything works fine when this process happens in R/3 system.
The problem comes when user opens this workitem in UWL or this workitem is sent to user mail ID executing 'SWN_SELSEN' report, all the attributes of the business object are displayed in the workitem description except 2 . These are the Minimum annual salary(GRMIN) and Maximum annual salary(GRMAX) fields from 'T510N' table.
Regards,
Vaishali.
Edited by: vaishali rautray on Dec 24, 2008 7:52 AM

Hi Saumya,
Thanks for the quick reply.
For storing the Minimum and maximum annual salary values I have created two attributes in the business object which are referring to database fields. T510N is a customizing table. I could see the values for the same, if I test the Business Object or Trigger the w/f in R/3 and check the approval work item in R/3. These values disappears only in case of web interfacing i.e. If I send the same work item to outlook mail or check it in UWL.
I had checked the same and thought if there is any problem with BO or some other processing takes place before these values are retrieved. But I wonder why this happens only if I process the work item outside R/3 system?
Regards,
Vaishali.

Replacing Business Objects - Modelling Issue

I'm working on a large 'BI' project that is replacing Business Objects with OBIEE ( actually its not really a BI project its more of a give us what we've got now using OBIEE project ) - which is proving challenging in some areas.
One example is with the Data Model that BO provides in its Universe, the model I'm replacing is pretty much 3NF (even though it uses DIM and FACT in the table names) they're joined pretty much all over the place, which enables the users to select from tables which can be 4,5,6 steps away from the original - including via M:M relationships!
Anyway one specific issue is based around the old question of multiple fact tables where not all dimensions are conformed.
Dim - Business Manager ---< Fact - Forecast >----- Dim - Product -----< Fact - Actuals >------ Dim Salesman
I've setup the Dimensions for each Dimension Logical Table.
I've created a single logical table containing a Forecast and Actual Amount from the 2 fact tables and set the logical levels appropriately at Table Level. For the Forecast measure I have a logical level set to 'Total - Salesman' and for the Actuals measure I have logical level set to 'Total - Business Manager'.
This works great when I select an Attribute from Business Manager, and Salesman and both of the measures in the Answer.
However the users want to be able to select from Business Manager, and Salesman dimensions without selecting the measures, is this possible - do I need to add a bridging table to resolve the relationships between a Business Manager and Salesman explicitly rather than implicitly via the facts?
I have set Implict Fact at the Presentation Model, however this doesn't work (it misses off Total Level aggregation in the OBI Server SQL).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/answers.

Thanks for the helpful reply Turribeach, along with the interesting and informative link.
This is my first foray into the world of BO and I think some of the points you make in the link are right on the money. I've spent many years working with Oracle Tools (Dataquery,Data Browser, Discoverer and then OBIEE when Oracle acquired the tool ). There are difficulties in the modeling with OBIEE, certainly when it comes to trying to replicate a 'fairly' complex BO universe they become apparent.
Many hoops to jump through to give the user a like for like, which I'm not convinced will be possible - maybe some negotiation is required :-)

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:

Hi RS,
hope you have delegated your ZBUS2096 to proper supertype,
when you created the method, hope you have released component at the sub-object (that is method) first and then object level,
after which hope you have clicked the generate icon for your BOR.
Hope it helps.

How to increase the number of data Business Object can pull for a report?

Hi,
I would like to ask around how to increase the number of data Business Object can pull for a report. I have a report which pulls data depending on the date range (ex. From 01/01/2007 - 01/10/2007). But, when the data that is pulled exceeds 5000, the report fails. Is there anyway to increase the number of data that BO can pull?
Thanks

Bobby,
to my knowledge we can't change that. Let me explain this, we have setting in the source system for DS default Data Transfer. there we will assign the processes. if you want to assign 4 you need to change the setting in the source system. For flat files we can change in BW System. We can maintain the setting in the Infopackage level(wht we are assigned in the Source System), but we can't change the process.
in order to check the setting in source system SBIW--> General Settings --> Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
we need to change here, this will effect to all the Data Sources. Before making changes check with your basis.
All the best.

Nagesh Ganisetti.

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
