  • Business Object Question

    Hi,
    can we get more than one records from the object depending up on Key Fields
    Regards,
    Soni

    It depends a bit on what you are thinking of.
    One <b>instance</b> can only represent one object, so for instances the answer is no. I think this is what you meant, but just in case...
    If you are thinking about attributes it is possible to have more than one type ("multiline" checked in the attribute definition screen)
    Some object types also have a "Get" or "Find" method, and in these you will usually get a list returned. This list could be a list of structures, or it could be a list of BOR object instances. So in this case you can also have many records or object references (instances), but each instance will represent exactly 1 key field combination - i.e. exactly 1 record in the database.

  • Business Object Modeler Question

    Hi Experts,
    I'm new to CE and currently trying to figure out what can I do with it?
    Assume that I'm planning to create an application to follow activities that our consultants doing.
    For this, we're planning to use Local Portal Database to store datas.
    When I checked, "Business Object Modeler" is a tool which helps to create business objects and generates tables behind and access services automatically.
    Then generating a Web Service for this BO and then using the WS with VC and WD4J is a great asset for us.
    But, my questions?
    1. Is this a right approach for  such scenario?
    2. I've created a sample BO and generated WS and tried to use with VC. Create, Delete, Reand and Update Operations can be made available for WebService, but I'm unable to add FindAll or FindByMultiple Parameter operations to Web Service?
    Any idea for Q1 and answer for Q2 will be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Yes, You have to arite the code.Actually, Application services are the place where you will wrtie your business logic.
    In th application service operations you have to call the business object operations.
    For architechturel guidelines you can go [through thii doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00caf8bd-487a-2a10-36a9-93d840309310].
    answer to second question:
    You can't change the code in the BO operations. What ever you want, you have to do it in the application servcies only.
    Create an application service operation  say:
    operation(). Create a input/output data structures.
    Exapmle:     OperationResponce operation(OperationRequest).
    Yuor lists add to the  OperationRequest datatype. Similarly for  OperationResponce also. In this case you don,t have any issues.Actually this is the standered for Web Services.

  • Business Object LB - Probe question

    Has anyone ever worked with Business Object for load balancing ?
    My main question concerns the probe to get all the content of a web page where I would need to follow all the links included in a probed web page to get all the content.
    Otherwise the probe is useless. Anything at this point would help.
    Thanks

    Hi Nancy,
    I can´t find it right now, but I do remember reading that there were different XML definition versions for SBO objects. In the version 1, table names where used. In the version 2, object names where used. Looks like the schema defines version 2, but SBO is using version 2.
    I will check if I can found where I did read that. Try speaking with someone in SAP and about XML versions, perhaps they could help you with this info.
    Hope helps,

  • Business Objects Training -General Questions

    Hi,
      I am just Going through the Business Objects...had some few general questions.
    1)What  is the current Version on BO
    2)Where does Crystal reports & Xcelsius fit in Business Objects
    3)Does Power Center & Informatica are also included in Business Objects
    Thanks

    The latest version of Business Objects Enterprise is XI Release 3.1 Service Pack 2. There have been several fixpacks delivered on top of this as well.
    Crystal Reports and XCelsius are tools to build Reports and Dashboards respectively. While XCelsius is suited for creating sleek dashboards with very aggregated data - usually less than 2000 rows per report, Crystal Reports can be used for reporting off data warehouses requiring reporting off large data sets.
    Informatica Powercenter is a tool proivded by an independant vendor and is not a Business Objects Product. Business Objects Provides Data Integrator, which is pretty much as rugged as Informatica and provides all the functionalities of ETL(Extraction Transformation and Loading).

    Hello Tony,
    BO is a name for a product suite containing lots of products.
    Please post a bit in more detail which product and which version you are using.
    To begin with some documentation please see our [BO product guides|https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000713358&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202].

  • OInvoice Business Object XML Schema question

    I am trying to produce an xml file based on the oInvoices business object to use in an EDI translation.  I am running Sap Business One 2005 A SP:01 PL:03.  I used one of the sample programs in the SDK Samples folder to produce an XML schema of the oInvoices object.  The sample program is in the COM DI folder, program #06. ObjectSchemas.  When I run this program is produces an xml file that is really a schema for oInvoices, and it uses the GetBusinessObjectXmlSchema function for the oInvoices BoObjectType.  If I use the SaveXML function on the SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices, I get a different xml file that does not use the same table or fields names.  (See sample below - schema uses the table name, OINV, SaveXml uses 'Documents' in place of the OINV name, schema has a QueryParams tag set, SaveXml does not, SaveXml has a Version defined within the AdminInfo, the Schema does not have this). Why doesn't the oInvoices xml schema match the xml file produced using the SaveXML function.  Which example below is the correct xml representation of an Invoice?  I have copied parts of each file below.
    oInvoices file produced using GetBusinessObjectXmlSchema for oInvoices:

  • Business Objects XI 4.0 Semantic Layer Questions

    Can someone tell me if the new Business Objects XI 4.0 Semantic Layer is an alternative to the use of Universes?
    I.E.  There will be no need for Crystal Reports 2011 Enterprise, and Xcelcius to use Universes at all to access SAP ERP data as well as SAP BI/BW data?
    Is the new direction of SAP not to use Universes to access ERP and BI/BW data at all?
    We are a new SAP NETWEAVER ERP installation with BI/BW and are debating on using
    1)Business Objects 3.2 with Universes
    2)Crystal Reports with custom SQL, Rapidmarts and Data Integrator
    3)Business Objects XI 4.0 with this new Semantic Layer and BI Consumer Services.
    Any suggestions,  pros and cons would be greatly appreaciated.
    We are looking to align ourselves with future SAP Business Objects architectures.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Randy
    Edited by: Randy on Feb 11, 2011 7:58 PM

    Hi Randy,
    Universe is an important part of the Semantic Layer, whether it is version 3.x or version 4.x of SAP BusinessObjects. In version 4.0 (officially known as BI 4.0), you will be using the new Information Design Tool to build universe. It is highly recommended for all of your presentation tools (i.e. WebI, Crystal, Xcelsius/Dashboard, etc) to go through the new Information Design Tool for data (including BW data).
    The BI 4.0 Virtual Launch is scheduled on Feb 23. I suggest you to sign up at http://virtualevents.sap.com/business-analytics/login.aspx.
    By the way, the SAP BusinessObjects does not have a version 3.2. The most current one is version 3.1. You might be confused with the FixPack which is now up to 3.4.
    Hope this helps.

  • Question of Business Object Data Service

    hi Expert,
    Now we are doing project for CRM integration to BODS (Business object Data Service).
    There is business request for deduplicate check whole CRM Business partner data base.
    The data quantity is 10Million and most of them are consumer role, we prefer to clean up the BP data via BODS and in CRM we use standard account merge functionality.
    but I not sure whether BODS support deduplicate check for 10M consumer and how to do it?
    Is there any one had experience or idea for this request?
    Br.
    William.

    Sure DS can do that, no doubt about it. But before starting, I recommend you to carefully read the Match Consolidate Transform wiki page. Pay special attention to the setting of the BREAK_KEY that will have a significant impact on the performance and throughput of the matching process.

  • WF Question: Call Transaction From Business Object Not works

    Hi Frinds
    I need some help
    in Business Object ZBUS2012  I have a method that run a report (ALV)
    in the PO nubmer I have a drill down to me23n with parameter BES (EBELN)
    when I click the PO me23n Opened Empty without the PO Number.
    If i try to run the report not from the BO its woks fine.
    it's opened me23n with the right PO Number.
    What can Be The Problem ?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Kobi
    Are you passing the parameter from the business object to the method of you ALV report, if in doubt, please post your method code?  Most likely this is what is wrong.  The correct way to reference the PO number within the method is
    object-key-purchaseorder
    Then test using SWO1 to ensure you method is correct before calling through workflow.

  • Please only post SAP Business Objects products related questions here

    Hi
    Thanks for reading.
    Unfortunately many people get confused with the term BI which was used for SAP BW at one time. With the acquisition of Business Objects some product names have changed.
    SAP BW is still SAP BW, please post in the respective forums: /community [original link is broken]
    Business Intelligence in this forum refers to the these SAP Business Objects products:

    Hi Suresh
    Thank you for the detailed response.  I tried your suggestions and neither works.
    LOV issue:
    Within the Business View manager, i right-click on the LOV object and click "Edit List of Values..." and i get a dialog box that only shows me Available fields, List of Value Fields used, description field, and Referenced objects. Along with buttons for Clear Instance & Refersh Status.
    I have read similar posts to what you suggested but never get to the same place as described.
    Please advise....
    as for _Max Number LOV _
    I have researched this as well and found the same suggestion you made. But the PRM file does not have that value, and the file contains all XML code
    Now what???
    Thanks
    Mike

  • 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

  • Values from Structure used in Form to be transferred to a Business Object

    Hello,
    I have defined a structure (zcsks) in the workflow container. This structure is used in two forms (Change and Approve).
    With the approval (button pressed on approve form) the data entered in the structure zcsks has to be transferred to the business object ZBUS0012 in the workflow container, so that the business object method CREATE can be executed automatically.
    The values for the structure ZCSKS is already transferred from the form to the workflow container automatically.
    My question now is how I can transfer values from ZCSKS to ZBUS0012 and execute its method CREATE automatically ?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello,
    "Value of expression '&_WI_OBJECT_ID.COSTCENTER&' cannot be used as the target of an assignment"
    This is because you are trying to assign a value to an attribute of the main object of a workflow (_WI_OBJECT_ID).
    That won't work. I thought you meant you had an object in the workflow container and wanted to
    instantiate that.
    When the workflow is created the main object is already instantiated so you can't change it.

  • 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!!

    Vignesh Ravikumar.
