Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.

Creating Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica

I need to create Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica database. Please let me know what connections I need to create to integrate the data into Web Intelligence, Universe, Xcelsius, and Crystal Reports.
Thank you

I've just done some quick checking and I don't see a native connection type for Infomatica in Designer or Crystal. (Designer is a tool for building universes - WebI and Xcelsius both read data through a universe, Crystal can read data through a direct connection to the database or through a universe.) This means you'll probably have to set up a "generic" ODBC connection in order to connect to it.

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Reports and Web Services

Is there a way to get system usage reports through web services api?
Where I find some examples?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.
Hope that helps,

API Clearcase for Business Objects Reports including Webi

Is there anyone out there who has developed a linked version of the following application?
Winners of the Business Objects Community Content Contest
I'm excited to announce the winners of the content contest that we ran earlier in the summer. The contest ran for seven weeks and had five categories, each of which offered a potential grand prize of $1,000 USD, a second prize of $300 USD, and a third prize of $200 USD.
Here is the list of winners, who have already been officially notified, along with a description of their submissions:
SDK APPLICATION
Grand prize - Sunil Abraham - "Bridge between Rational ClearCase version control and Business Object Enterprise"
This tool enables updating the location of report files on the BOE server from the ClearCase repository without using the web interface. The tool is a stand alone application developed in VB.NET using BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK and the ClearCase Automation Library (COM Interface). The user selects the ClearCase repository and the change set that needs to be updated on the BOE server. The tool queries BOE and returns the locations of the files to be updated. The user can then update the server location with the click of a button.

You cannot use query builder to update the object. You need to create a jsp page or java class and add the code to perform the action. The code should:
1. logon to enterprise
2. query for the objects to get InfoObjects.
3. loop through each object and update title using setTitle()
4. commit
5. logoff

JSR 168 and Web Services For Remote Portlets

Hi,
I have recently joined SAP.In my previous work experience I have worked extensively on the Sun Java Portal Server and was curious about the following
1.Does SAP Enterprise Portal Server support JSR 168 compliant Portlets.
2.If yes the Question that naturally follows is:Can portlets(view Components)in a SAP Portal be remote enabled?In other words does SAP portal support WSRP standards.
3.If the SAP Enterprise Portal has implemented the JSR 168 specifications then how does the architecture seperate out the Portal engine from the Portlet Container.
In other words where does the actual wrapping from a HTTPServletRequest to a Portlet Request happen?
4.The JSR 168 specifications restricts the use of IFrames and many HTML tags in the fragments that are returned by the portlets running in the Portlet Container.Is this taken care of in SAP Enterprise Portal?
5.Can WebDynpro applications be embedded in a JSR 168 compliant portlet?
6.How is parity maintaned between portlet session HTTP session and the Applications session?
7.Does SAP Portal support deployment through a par model?
Thanks and Regards

I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. I wrote an email but didn't receive any response. So i guess JSR 168 isn't supported yet?

Exsisting Crystal Reports conversion to Business Objects reports

hi,
can existing crystal reports can be converted to Business Objects reports ( Adhoc, webi, deski types ).
If yes, what versions of CR can be converted to BOBJ reports and what versions could not be.
Where woud I go to get the information and procedure to get this done.
Your help is deeply appreicated. Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Unfortunately there is no direct method or tool which can convert the existing Crystal reports to WEBI or DESKI. The best way to go about converting the reports would be to re-create the reports in the required reporting tool.
All these three reporting softwares are different in working and are designed to suit different reporting needs. So based on the requirements, you can select the tool which best suits your requirement.
I hope this helps in answering your question.

Abhishek Jain.

XML and Web Service Data Source Missing in Crystal Reports for VS

I would like to use a Web Service as the data source for a Crystal Report that will be running outside of my Visual Studio application. So setting the data source to the web service in code is not possible. My understanding is Crystal Reports has a connection (in the Database Expert under New Connection) named XML and Web Service. Here you can select web service and enter the WSDL URL for the web service. However it does not appear in the list for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. Does this connection type come with the Visual Studio version of Crystal Reports and if not is their a way to obtain it?
Thank you for your assistance.

None of the bundled versions of CR have the driver. Reason is that the driver responsible for these connections requires the Java framework and I suspect MS would not be too pleased if we installed the Java framework. The stand alone versions, since they are not part of any bundle can and do install the Java framework and the driver. Note that even the latest release of CR - CRVS2010 does not have the driver as it essentially becomes a bundle or a VS2010 plug-in.
So, the short of it is; you have to obtain a stand-alone version of CR. I'd recommend CR 2008 (12.x) as CRXI R2 will run out of support in June of this year.

Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

Hi,
I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
Rgds..

Hi,
Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.
Best regards,

Apex 4.1 Form and Report on Web Service Report displays nothing

Hello I created and tested a webservice using the test feature in Apex 4.1.
I know the results is a string of 1 row.
I created a Form and Report on Web Service. When I run the form there is nothing displayed in the Reports section its just blank.
If I run the sql from the results region I get no data found.
Is the problem the returned data is not stored in the collection?
Edited by: Oracle Primavera on Oct 26, 2011 3:32 PM

What would be the reason for the following.
Testing the webservice in apex returns values.
However when I run Form and Report on Web Service Report if I query the collection it is always empty?
Does anyone have any experience on this issue? Is it a bug? Please some hints I have been trying for two weeks without success.

We have an existing portal which is running on SAP Application Server, which has ABAP codes. to connect and read SAP bw reports.
We are developing an external j2ee web pages which can access the reports.

Is this possible? What changes we may need to do on SAP end?
