Business Objects - Siebel Integration kit - Generate Query

Hello
Thank you for reading this post.
I am designing reports using Crystal reports 2008 from Siebel CRM using the BO - Siebel integration kit. With the help of kit, all the business components (BC) of Siebel are exposed as tables in Crystal reports and can be fetched in the query to run a report.
When I run a report from Account BC, I am getting multiple records in the report. When I checked the SQL query from Siebel server, I found that there is a cartesian product in the query due to which duplicate records are coming.
Is there any way to modify the query which is generated by the integration kit??
When I discussed the issue with the Siebel Configuration team, they suggested that there should be a way to choose links in the BC. Can you please suggest a way to expose links in BC??
Waiting for reply..
Thanks
Devesh

Hi Devesh,
     In Business Objects Enterprise Integration for Siebel document, Chapter 6 Using Crystal Reports with Siebel, there is content talking about:
     Linking tables in reports, and introduce how to link between parent and child Business Components, how to use the parent's multi-value field, etc, etc.
     Could you please have a look at the content there and let us know if it contain the information you need?
     Business Objects Enterprise Integration for Siebel document is available here:

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,

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.

POS-Siebel Integration (External Orders Query)

Hi,
I have to implement POS and siebel integration for querying and retrieving external orders from Siebel in POS using an out-of-box integration method @
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.oracle.com%2Fcd%2FE12517_01%2Fback_office%2Fpdf%2F133%2Fsss-133-imp4.pdf
After doing all the setup required at both ends, whenever i go to query external order in POS it shows me this message : "The system is currently offline. The orders cannot be retrieved for payment during offline."
Please advise how to proceed further.
Also for configuring DefaultConnectorTechnician.xml the mystoreID and pwd are POS admin username and password???
Thanks in advance,
Ayush

Hi,
Have exposed the web service from Siebel side and also the both Default and retail technician XML files in POS have been updated to proper webservice URI: "http://<Host>:<port>/eai_anon_enu/start.swe?SWEExtSource=SecureWebService&SWEExtCmd=Execute"
Still the error msg appears stating: The system is offline.
Do i need to bounce the Oracle Retail POS server before the changes take effect??
Or is there any more setup that i need to verify in siebel to make sure the webservice respond correctly???
Regards,
Ayush

Business Object XI 3.1 Integration with Siebel CRM 8.1.1.1

Hi Experts,
We are planning to Integrate Business Objects XI 3.1 with Siebel CRM 8.1.1.1.
Our requirement would be creating BO Universes on top of Siebel CRM Business Layer (Business Components) and expose these Universe for Ad-hoc reporting using Web Intelligence at InfoView portal. In addition we would like to leverage Siebel CRM Authentication and authorizations (positions) as well with Integration Kit.
Found some of docs on BO with Siebel integration using crystal designer. But not on creation of Universe and then WebI Reports.
And also found that Siebel Web Desktop for Ad-hoc reporting within Siebel portal. Not sure how it is similar to BO Web Intelligence reporting.
Can any one please guide us the different possible options to achieve this requirement.
Regards,
Ravi Kumar Garre

Hi Paul,
I've left SAP on March 31th, 2011, so my information may not be 100% accurate.
As far as I know, in Business Objects Suite XI4.0, there will no longer be Siebel Integration kit.
Instead, Siebel related integration features are moved back into core products such as Crystal Reports and BOE.
This means, you no longer need to have an installer for Siebel integration kit, when you installed Crystal Reports, it will bring you to Siebel connectivity after you install Crystal Reports. So does BOE.
The similar approach applies to other integration kits as well such as SAP, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Oracle EBS.
In Crystal Reports and BOE XI4.0, the Siebel integration feature remains with some improvements (check the product document for detail when you get XI4.0 BOBJ suite.)
For Webi/Universe accessing Siebel request, I have no further update since then.
You may want to go through your sales representitive/support channel to raise enhancement request/new feature request officially and get feedback.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Errror while trying DataStore Data Integrator Business Objects

Hi,
I have a Business Objects Data Integrator XI Release 2 installed on my machine... I´m new to this platform, but I think I have everything
fully installed except the Job Server and SNMP Server, because the license that I have it doesn´t allow to install these services.
I have a repository created in SQL Server 2008, against which the Data Integrator Designer is connected correctly, where I can create projects,
jobs, workflows and even jobflows ...
But when trying to create a DataStore to data sources or destinations, will not let me. I right click on the repository,
DataStore> New, and I get the window that should go to enter data datastore name and type, databases, flat files, ... I get no
any error or warning window just does nothing ...
But whenI try to create a DataStore, to datasources or destinations, not let me. I right-click on the Datastores repository > New, and
the window, that should go, is not shown, to enter data, datastoresname and type, databases, plain text,... Any error or warning window is not
shown , just does nothing
I was visiting the SAP Community Network page and I found a demo transform, .afl, to import a sample project to the repository, and I created
the datastore instance successfully, DS_training. For this datastore allows me all options, but when I right-click on it, except for
> Edit, I try to access to these options to point to my Database and not the samples...
I don´t know what is the problem, if someone could help me because I'm looking for several days and I'm going crazy!
Thanks

Hola,
ante todo muchas gracias, porque veo que fuiste el unico que te dignaste a echarme una mano...
La verdad es que la cosa es rarisima, con los datastores creados del ejemplo, no me deja editarlos y tampoco crear unos nuevos...
El error es el mismo, tanto como si quiero crear uno nuevo como si quiero editar los de ejemplo, no aparece nada... ni ventana de error ni ventana para editar/crear...
Gracias, un saludo...

Requirements and Architecture for Business Objects Universe

Hi - apologies in advance for the probable repeat question but a search of the forums brought back an overload of information that wasn't quite specific enough.
We are about to purchase an application that comes with a Business Objects Universe but we've been told that we'll need to sort out our own licensing for the Client/Server side of its use.
I've done a lot of work with Crystal Reports in the past but having read up on Business Objects it appears that either the Desktop Intelligence of Web Intelligence clients are designed for the reporting facilities in BO.
Basically, the question is what exactly do we need to run reports from the BOU across the company AND what server architecture is required/recommended for the same?
As I see it, the BOU is the equivalent of an ORM layer in software development. This would mean we'd have:
DATABASE
UNIVERSE
REPORTING CLIENT
...where the reporting client allowed the development and distribution of reports based on the specific licences purchased. However the reporting client wouldn't be Crystal Reports - is that correct?
Also is there any ballpark figure for the server and client licence costs? Assuming 5 developers and up to 300 users (although it may only be management needing viewer access so possibly only a dozen users on top of the developers in that case).
I've tried to work this out for myself but there seems to be a lot of confusion around what is Business Objects (the product) and who Business Objects the company are and where Crystal fits in with everything.
For a bog-standard implementation of a BOU what is absolutely necessary?
Thanks
Nic

Hi Nic,
As you've described Universe is a meta data layer in between Database and Reporting Layer. You could create reports using Desktop Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Web Intelligence Rich Client and even Crystal Reports. DeskI, WebI Rich, Crystal Reports do require client installations and you have an added advantage of using local data sources like excel and create reports. WebI also creates reports but you don't need any separate client installer for it.
For the ball park figure I'd contact Sales Team...
Your question regarding what is absolutely necessary, there are lot more things need to be taken into consideration like below
1) What are the repeorting needs at a little detailed level?
How would it help: Though there are several reporting tools for users and their reporting needs, it helps in deciding on which of the reporting tools should be the prime ones. Like WebI can be used as Adhoc Reporting Tool once you design your universe.
2) Where would you want these reports to be deployed or on what portal do you want to see reports?
How would it help: It helps in deciding what should be the presentation layer for the reports and how it should be designed. Business Objects has InfoView portal that comes default where you can deploy DeskI, WebI, Crystal Reports. Or if you need to use an existing sharePoint portal you'd need Integration with Sharepoint software.
3) Do you need ETL tools to load your data?
How would it help: It helps in making recommendation on ETL process and if Business Objects Data Integrator is suitable for the scenario
Hope this would help.
Regards,
Vijay

Business Objects Management Console - Shedule Jobs Problem

Business Objects Edge SP2

Hello,
Does anyone have any updated information as to when SP2 will be released for Edge?
I have an issue with version 3.1 regarding a reverse pivot not giving correct results, which I think is addressed in this fix:
ADAPT01316434
Reverse Pivot transforms produced incorrect result when a Table Comparison transform appears in the downstream in the same data flow.
For info - a workaround to this problem is to include a temporary table connected directly to the reverse pivot, as well as the rest of your flow. Not ideal, but it does then function correctly.
Thanks,
Rhodri

I installed the business object edge series and business object edge integration. The guide of edge integration tells to confirm if the file sap_desktop.war exists, and this file WASN'T created. Does anyone knows why??
