Business Objects newbie... how to install???

I downloaded the free trial of SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1.   However I am a little confused on the following subjects:
1) What are the hardware requirements
2) What OS will it run under
3) What database/web server requirements are
4) What are the exact steps necessary to install the product?
I tried reading the Installation Guide.   However all it does is refer me to Articles  
I don't see anything there that is particular to Edge BI 3.1; not at least that I can see.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
please go to [http://service.sap.com/bosap-support]. YOu will find a link to the supported platforms documents there.
Are you trying to install on windows or on unix?

  • Given a business object type, how to find out the underlying table name ?

    Hi,
    Given a business object type (e.g. BUSxxx), is there any Function Module that can be used to get the table name for that object ?
    Have been through the SWO* FM's but did not get anything yet.
    Pls let me know how this can be done.
    Regards,

Given a table name, I am able to figure out the column information and read that data. But all I have is the business object type, so would need to figure out all the tables (as you helpfully pointed out, there could be more than 1 for a business object) and then read from those tables.

    So, assuming for the moment we are just dealing with the PO BUS2012 business object, your external application will be passing you a BO type and also (presumably- otherwise you could be sending back an awful lot of data) a BO key,  and you then want to send back all the detail for PO - exactly what the GetDetail method that is present on most objects does - is that right?
    Since most BOs have a GetDetail method, can't you just use that? 
    Though I really can't see why your external application would be interested in all SAP BOs - most applications are a bit more specific than that.

  • Newbie: How to install packages from remote desktop?

    Hi,
    I have installed Solaris using Reduced Network without installing Volume Management. Now, I want to add more packages. I have tried to copy e.g. SUNWmfrun directory from my Windows XP desktop and SFTP/SSH to the remote Solaris server. Maybe because it is not a pkg but a directory; therefore, pkgadd cannot find a package to install. And I fail to use pkgtrans because lack of knowledge. What steps should I do?
    Regards,
    Terence

    It should be something like
    [local]
    Server = file:///path/to/packages

  • Newbie: how to install imagemagick

    I want to install imagemagick
    I gather I can do one of the following:
    - download the tar file and install manually - seems to be about 6/7 commands I need to execute
    - use Macports
    - use Homebrew
    Coming from the Windows world, I'm very concerned about not installing junk and overloading my system and bringing it to a grinding halt
    Should I use Macports or Homebrew? What are the pros and cons of having these? And is there a general consensus about which is better of the 2?
    Thanks
    Omar

    @etresoft I need to manipulate images, things like optimise, add watermarks and other things that I don't think I can do with sips. I already use sips to resize and crop. I don't want to install imagemagick, but I don't think there's a way to do using terminal commands otherwise?
    So, you would recommend just installing manually and not installing brew or other similar? I can't think what else I would use them for
    Let me know what you think. Thanks

  • How to access Business Objects Explorer?

    I am new to Business Objects and would like to know how to access Business Objects Explorer from my local system. I have Business Objects XI 3.1 installed on my system.
    I would like to know if BO explorer requires a separate installation package? If yes, how can I acquire it?
    If No, what are the steps to integrate the BO Server with the BO explorer?

  • How to Access SSM PAS model database in Business Objects

    Dear Gurus,
    My core user would like to see few reports from SSM into Business objects.
    How can I create a universe from SSM DB , connection type ?.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Arif

    HI Qureshi,
    In order to create a Universe on top of Strategy Management Data (Scorecards or PAS models), you need to be on 7.5 SP2 minimum. Anyway, I strongly advise to always have the latest SP (currently SP5 HF1) installed.
    For detailed information on this topic, you should go through the [Strategy Management Configuration Help for Servers|https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/instguidescpm-stm] that you can find in the Service Marketplace.
    This guide provides details on:
    Providing Strategy Management Data for Xcelsius Dashboards (through Web Services)
    Providing Strategy Management Data for Voyager (through the creation of a Universe)
    Hope this helps!

  • How to Call Business Objects in Program

    Hi All,
    if i want to create PurchaseOrders how can i use Business Object in my program.i know how to create PO through Bapi's.how can i use this Business Objects and how to pass Vlaues into them?
    any Sample code>
    What are the diffrence between both PO upload bapi and business Object for PO.??
    Thank you,

    Edited by: madhubabu rao on Oct 29, 2008 10:41 AM

    Hi Madhu,
    Business Objects can be triggered via Work flow tasks. When ever you create a Purchase Order, check whether any standard event is getting triggered.
    Now create a work flow task with the above task as starting event, and link your BOR object to this.
    Or try to use the Function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.

  • How can we use business object (e.g. crystal report ) in webdynpro abap

    Hi All,
    We all know that business object has been part of sap products.
    But even though in SAP, I really don't know much about business object.
    and how can we use the great function of BO and integrate into our development to make
    user have much better function and user experience.
    Do we have some learning material of BO?
    Could someone share some material here?
    Thanks and Regards
    Aaron.

    One of the main ways that you can integrate some Business Objects content with WDA is via FlashIslands.  If you are on 7.01 or higher, you have the option to use FlashIslands UI element.  There are many tutorials on FlashIslands available on SDN. FlashIslands work well with Xcelsius content, since the output of Xcelsius is a Flex component.  It is pretty easy to set the Xcelsius interface to External Connection and then write a wrapper Flex Component around the generated output, so that it can be used in the FlashIslands interface.
    For Crystal Reports integration you will need NetWeaver 7.02 (comming early next year).  We have integrated Crystal Reports as an output option in the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV and the Classic Dynpro ALV.  You don't need to do any development to enable this.  You can use two different SAP delivered Crystal Reports templates for the ALV output, or create and add your own templates.
    Some of ther BOBJ integration is still in prototype and demo phase within SAP.  For instance we have a data interface to send data to Explorer onDemand from any ABAP application. We have a prototype FlashIsland for WebI to run in place within Web Dynpro ABAP.  Over future enhancement packages you will see increased integration opportunties with the BOBJ capabilites.

  • CAF Business Objects in Separate Database

    We currently have an application written in CAF which is using Business Objects/Entity Services using local persistence. I believe the local persistence automatically uses the default datasource defined in the SAP WAS portal server and creates the tables in that database.
    The requirement is to have that CAF application data stored in a different database instead of the portal database. There are ways to install a separate datasource in the SAP WAS server to point to a different database, but I don't know how to make CAF Business Objects use that newly installed datasource, or whether it is possible?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi,
    it seems I've to achieve that by using associations.
    But how should the Scenario look for my example?
    The relation is the following:
    Each application has exactly one division.
    Is it correct like that?
    DIVISION: Association to APPLICATION ("DivisionApplication"), CROSS_BO, ONE_TO_MANY
    BO APPLICATION: Association to DIVISION ("ApplicationDivision"), CROSS_BO, NONE_TO_ONE
    Another question:
    I can now add an association to APPLICATION  through the service browser by choosing the association name "ApplicationDivision" and putting the 32 digit the DIVISION that I want to associate.
    Is that the only way to do it in service browser?
    As this is impossible for business users, do I have to create a WD for them to maintain those values in an easier way?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Error Workflow not assigned to business object

    Hi Team,
        I am working on CRM 7.0 system
         I have a Z business object ,and I have created a new workflow and called one of the method of the z business object.
    And I am trying to trigger this workflow through a action definition based on status.while creating the action definition with respect to workflow I am getting the error "assigned BOR object type is not used in any workflows"  no F4 values
          I have debugged and found that the entry in the table SWDSCNTIDX is not correct.
    Kindly request you to guide me how to assign workflow to business object or how can I refer the workflow what I have created in action definition.
    Regards,
    Poornima

    Hi,
    You have to go the workflow change container element of that BOR e.g. "BUS2010030" and on tab "properties" check the checkbox "IMPORT" and "MANDATORY".
    Doing the above BOR will be available in the F4 help of actions profile wizard or conditions.

  • Unicode error in business object ECC6

    Hi all,
    We upgraded from 4.6c to ECC6.
    While executing a business object we got the syntax following error in ECC6.
    The program "Z_2005PP" is not Unicode-compatible, according to its program attributes
    We dont know how to solve it, becauseZ_2005PP is a business object.
    How to solve this issue?
    Regards,

    You can unicode enable the Business Objects programs by following steps :
    1)     Execute PROG u2018SWO_SET_UC_FLAGu2019
    2)     Provide object type.( In your case Z_2005PP )
    3)     Execute.
    4)     Result
    This should resolve the error.
