Business Objects Scheduler Jobs Monitoring

Hi,
Is there a management pack available for integration with System Centre (SCOM) such that we can monitor failed scheduled jobs in Business Objects via SCOM?
Is there any other way to monitor failed scheduled Business Objects jobs straight from the database or via any other method?
Thanks,
Chandan

Hi Chandran,
I'm not a SCOM expert but I understand it is basically a monitoring tool.
Normally you would check for failed schedules in Business Objects using the Instance Manager, to filter for failed scheduled reports. Alternatively you could use the Query Builder to report directly against the XI3.1 Repository and return a list of failed instances.
Above workflows can also be coded into the SDK to provide customised feedback on schedule failures
The final option would be to simply set up email Notifications on the schedules to simply email the Administrator in the event of a schedule failure.
With any of the above options it should be possible to link in your SCOM system to read\monitor from this output.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
John

Business Object Schedule Service - Custom Destination

We are trying to explore Business object scheduling server thru .NET SDK. But we need a custom destination option, at present we have ftp, smtp etc. What we need is a web service as a destination that will get invoked and will also have access to underlying report data.
First of all is it possible to build a custom destination plugin using .NET ? If so then would appreciate if you could point us to a rite code example.
Thanks

There is currently no option for custom destinations.
You will have to use one of the defined ones and then use that output for your application.

Oracle schedule jobs monitoring & restarting if necessary

Hi Gurus,
I need to monitor the schedule jobs.
I can see them under Scheduler icon in SQL Developer.
But I need to see them by executing sql so can get the states and all job details (cause I am guessing some jobs are not running properly).
I tried as SYS or user the following views ALL_SCHEDULER_JOBS, ALL_SCHEDULER_SCHEDULES, ALL_SCHEDULER_PROGRAMS, ALL_SCHEDULER_JOB_CLASSES, ALL_JOBS; none worked.
Also after I see their states, how can I restart some schedule jobs if they are not enabled or active.
Thanks

"none worked" is not a useful statement.
I don't know what you have.
I don't know what you do.
I don't know what you see.
It is really, Really, REALLY difficult to fix a problem that can not be seen.
use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how Oracle responds.
what exactly do you expect/desire to see when the SQL works for you?

To reduce execution time of a Business Objects Dataservices job.

The issue that we are facing-
Our goal- To compare a record from a file with 422928 records from another table on basis of name & country, if a match is found then you take some specific columns of that matched record (from the table ) as our ouput.
What we are doing- We are at 1st removing duplicates by doing matching on the address components (i.e.- addr_line1, city, state, postal code & country), here                    the break key for match transform is country & postal_code, its taking 1823.98 secs. Now the record count is 193317
                  Then we are merging the file record along with the 193317 records to put them in the same path and send them for matching.
                  The match criteria is the firm name & iso_country_cd,
                   the break key for match transform is the iso_country_cd & the 1st letter of the name.
                   It took 1155.156 secs.
We have used the "Run match as seperate process' option for the match to reduce the time.
The whole job took 3038.805 secs.
Please suggest how to reduce the execution time.

This really is impossible to help with without seeing your code.
Replacing while loops with Timed Loops will not help. Timed Loops are used for slowing while loops down in a controlled manner. You would use them to synchronise with a clock rate, and can set other parameters for priority and CPU allocation etc. These will not likely help to reduce your execution time.
If you are seeing code execution of 1 second then you will need to optimise your code to reduce the execution time. There are LabVIEW guides on how to improve your code execution time, just search around for them.
Also try using the Profiling tools to learn which VIs (I presume your code is componentised and each while loop contains subVIs?) are hogging the most CPU time.
If you cannot share your VI then there it is very hard to know where your code execution bottlenecks are.

Scheduling a Business Objects 4.0 Webi from Abap

Is there a way to pass in prompts and schedule a Webi report in Business Objects 4.0 from Abap? We have a situation where we want to email out a webi report to each of our sales reps with their particular sales information based on salesid.
Right now we would have to create and maintain about 250 individual scheduled jobs in Business Objects and that is a maintenance nightmare so I was wondering if we could use our scheduler in our ERP6.0 environment and write an Abap program to pass in the parameters needed to schedule the job in BOBJ.
For example, every Monday the Abap job would run and collect all salesmen info including salesid and email address and would then use that info to send the info to BOBJ to schedule and run the reports one time.
Hopefully what I am wanting is clear.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

Priyanka,
You need to STOP the Adaptive Job Server, this will STOP all scheduling jobs.

Business Process Monitoring (Job Monitoring)

Hi all,
I have some business processes being monitoring. Most of them are background jobs and we are monitoring delays, cancellation, duration...
My problem is that we have an external tool (CONTROLM) for job scheduling.
That means that jobs are not released directly in SAP, but they are in status scheduled and when the start condition (in the external tool) is reached, controlm makes a copy of the scheduled job and start it in SAP.
I have succeded to have the alerts working checking the option of "start job condition" , but some times I receive alerts like this one: "Job Name with schedule date 16.09.2010; not yet started" even if job is started and finished correctly.
Anyone knows what could be the problem? Or why are we receiving these "fake alerts"?
Best regards,
Virginia

Hi Virginia,
if you work with external schedulers and use start condition "Start by time" then you have to ensure that the maintained Planned Start Time in BPMon is earlier than the actual Start Time coming from the scheduler. If you use start condition "Use job start condition" this problem cannot occur as every job is picked up that fits the naming criteria. But there you cannot check for the start delay (business wise) but only system wise.
In general you have to ensure that either the latest SP for ST-PI plug-in is installed on your backend system or the latest SAP notes (component SV-SMG-MON-BPM) related to ST-PI are implemented. Only then you can ensure that no "funny" behaviour occurs when it comes to job monitoring.

To stop all scheduling in Business Objects 4.0

Hi
I just want to stop all the scheduled reports to run in Business Objects
Which process should i stop for it ?
Is it Adaptive Job Processor?
This is why i need it
We have migrated our BO from 3.1 to 4.0 in UNIX environment so its a prod parallel environment
and we are going to keep the old production environment running too for a week just to test the new one is fine or no.
But for 4.0 we have new prod environment and new CMS database
Next we are going to get all the data using BO Upgrade Tool
As Unix has complete upgrade it will get all the scheduling info too
Now i don't want the reports to run in our old production environment and new too
So which process should i stop which will only stop the Scheduling and wont impact other part.

Priyanka,
You need to STOP the Adaptive Job Server, this will STOP all scheduling jobs.

Business Objects Management Console - Shedule Jobs Problem

Hi,
I am novice in Business Objects technology and i am facing a problem that i describe next:
The Jobs Scheduled are not running but if we execute the Job manually the Job runs normally.
Do you have any idea about what can be wrong? Is there any logs that can be checked?
Thank for your efforts.
            Best Regards
                   João Fernandes

Hi Rim and Sebastian,

Monitoring and Alerting tools for Business Object Data Integrator

Hi,
We have Business Objects DI installed in AIX 5.3 environment. Please advise any type of monitoring and alerting tools for DI.
Monitor tools to monitor Job servers(like job service and web services running properly) and also to monitor long running extraction jobs and alerting the same. Thanks.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Thomas
Though both the tools objectives are for Data integration, the purpose for both tools are different.
SAP BODS/ BOBJ Data Integrator is an ETL tool which involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of the data
SAP PI is a Middleware/EAI tool which have a mechanism/technology that connects different parts of an application or a series of applications
SAP BOBJ Data Integrator
Bulk Data Integration
Extraction Transformation and Loading
Deals of huge volume of data
SAP PI
It is process based integration of application data
It is a middle ware which integrates various project applications into a common programming package that can be operate/access as a single application
SAP NetWeaver PI is SAP’s implementation of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware and facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies.
SAP PI uses SAP NetWeaver Application Server and message servers where in fail over cases the messages can be resent again.
The below differences will gives you more clarity
Verdict is we can use both the tools for data transfer/migration and for choosing the tool depends upon the business requirement
Please reply back if you need more information.

Is there a Business Objects Data Integrator API / SDK to "execute" DI jobs?

Hello,
I am searching for a Business Objects Data Integrator API / SDK that can be used to remotely execute BOBJ DI jobs (like in scheduling BOBJ XI docs).
I found AdapterSDK from BOBJ DI but this is used to create adapters usable with DI (for various sources and targets). I am interested only in executing an already created job...
Thank you in advance,
Adrian Mitrica

You'll probably be better off posting here:
[SAP Community Network Forums » Enterprise Information Management » Data Integration and Quality Management|
I'm just going by the description of the forum but that looks better than this one(?):
This forum is dedicated to topics related to Data Integration (Data Integrator, Data Federator, Text Analysis for Data Integrator, Rapid Marts, and Integration for PeopleSoft Enterprise), Data Quality (Data Quality and Data Insight), and Metadata Management.
I'd move your thread but I do not have the rights to do this move...
Good luck,

Business Objects Web Service Interface for Scheduling (without Java SDK)

Task:
> use BO web service interface to schedule report generation and fetch job with generated PDF object without having to use Java (Webservice) SDK
Detailed requirements:
> get session ID : ok, session WSDL, <BO server alias>/dswsbobje/services/Session , method "session"
> schedule a specific report : in general clear, via <BO server alias>/dswsbobje/services/BIPlatform, method "schedule"
> set report format to "PDF": is that possible ? With which WSDL and method ?
> schedule right now and only once: is that possible ? With which WSDL and method ?
> can I provide a parameter value for that report ?
> does schedule response contain jobID for later fetching of completed job ?
> how to fetch scheduled job for check of completion ?
> how to check status of job concerning completion ?
> how to fetch created PDF from completed job ?
With focus on my research (have checked and tested with soapUI), WSDL interface of BO seems not to be sufficient to fullfil the upper requirements, so I have to use BO Java SDK, which is powerful enough. Am I right ? Can you provide insights how to fullfil the requirements with the web service interface ? Would make whole implementation simpler (invocation from Tibco, ESB implementation).

The error you're hitting is presumably JBO-25030.
Look to the "merge" command. In the parent you specify just the key of the preexisting parent record, and then in the child you specify your new child record.

How to use Java SDK to schedule a report in business objects

hi guys i am having a scenario , were the Java SDK will be passing the parameters dynamically to the report in business objects . the Java SDK is kicked by the file based events. this Java SDK will be on the unix server and the business object is also on the unix server. I am having the crystal reports in boe which need to be triggered by the Java SDK . such that the report is scheduled to a particular location on the unix for every week,when the java passes the parameters to the report in boe
Edited by: americansalt on Nov 4, 2010 11:30 AM

You can do this by using the BOE SDK. Here are some samples:

Crystal reports being scheduled on Business Objects XI 3.1 failing

I am in the middle of a migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI 3.1. I am getting report failures for scheduled events. The error is "Object could not be scheduled within the specified time interval". Does anyone have any idea what this is? Some of the reports run fine for this instance and then others get this message. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
This error message appears when there are a large number of reports scheduled to run at the same time, but there is a short end time for the instance. As a result, BusinessObjects Enterprise may not be able to run all the report before the end time passes.
To resolve this error message, increase the end time on the scheduled instance. To increase the end time, use the following steps:
1. In the Infoview, browse to the desired report and click 'History'.
2. Find the desired scheduled instance and click 'Reschedule'.
3. Under the 'When' section, increase the end time for the scheduled instance.
Upon completing these steps, the error message no longer appears.
Hope this helps!!
