Business Objects support for international web standards

The NZ government has defined web standards ([Standards web-site|http://webstandards.govt.nz/index.php/Home_page]) for delivery of content over the web. I am working with a government organisation who wants to know how/if Business Objects supports international web standards and if so which and in what manner. This is really around BOE and WebIntelligence primarily. Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Carl

Hi Carl,
I just quickly took a look these standards you are refering to. They seem to be more in line for web site development - i.e content of nature like most internet web sites.
BOE is an BI applcation delivering BI content is a specilaised environment. I would say it would be difficult to place the default application and capability under the general banner of compliance. However, you would need to map the guidelines to BOE to sus out compliance, but I don't feel it really necessary as you are using an application delivered over the web, not building a website.
Nevertheless, should you prefer, BOE is fully supported by an SDK, so you could develop you own custom interface to meet all those nice compliance issues.

SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 on Microfost Office 64-Bit Version

Hello,
Has anyone installed SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP6 on Microsoft Office (Excel) 64-Bit Version. I am getting message "The launcher was not able to connect Analysis Add-In. Make sure that Analysis Add-In is not disabled by Office Application".
When I activated the Analysis Add-In, I am getting below Error: "Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'analysis' add-in." and it is forcing to disable the add-in and asking to check for if any update is available. It was working fine on 32-bit Excel version.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for the response. It is working fine on 32-bit Office version (with OS 64-bit). I checked the compatibility (OSS 1466118 ) and it supports Microsoft 64-bit office version. Just wanted to see if anyone had successful installation.
Thanks,

Business Object Types for Z-tables

hi
could anyone please guide me how to create business-object-types for Z-tables?
thanks in advance
regards
pavan

Hi,
Business objects (SWO1) are representations of business entities.
So it is impossible to ask I need to create a business object for a z-table, because that's not business specific.
Normally when you're faced with a BO issue, you first search for useable existing BO's. In there you also search if SAP has already provided the wanted functional requirement. If this is not present, you then search for a BO which is closest to the Functional requirement and then create a subtype of that BO en extend it to suit your needs (attributes, methods, events etc.) via delegation you can then also se it in sap standard.

Unable to Save more than 1 Business-object-provider for the Connector.

I m using MEP 1.0 Platform.
My Ecbo Connector "BankDb" had initially "Account" Object Provider which i was able to save successfully via the MEP console.Later on i added the "Statement" Object Provider to the same connector. But i get this Exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object:
{[[email protected]f,
[email protected]55,
[email protected]f,
[email protected]c,
[email protected]2,
[email protected]d,
[email protected]9]} is not a known entity type.
I shut down my Server & then restarted it.i removed the AccountObject Provider & Added StatementObject Provider instead & clicked save & it saved my Connector Successfully But when i tried to add the AccountProvider too i get the same exception.In short i am unable to save both providers at the same time in the console.
I googled later on & found something Similar on java.net
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3235
I am not sure about all of this as i am just a beginner.
Please Help
Thx in Advance
Alex.

Hello, thanks for your interest in the GlassFish Mobility Platform. The ECBO architecture supports exactly one business-object-provider per connector. You could combine your account and statement data into a single composite business object. You could also upgrade to MEP 1.1 and use the dynamic data feature (JerseyME) on the client to retrieve dynamic data such as the statement report and use the business-object-provider for the synchronized data, ie. the account activity. For more information see the [Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 Developer's Guide for Enterprise Connectors|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7207] .

Business object type for parked invoices

Hi,
We are using documentum to store documents that have been attached to business object types in SAP. The business object types are configured in transaction OAC3 to point to a pre-configured content repository.
Having this configuration allows the object type to use the "services for objects" option, enabling it to store attachments.
The business object types for invoices have been configured and we are able to store attachments. However this does not seem to work for "Parked invoices". The configuration in the "services for objects" component is not there and the feature to store the attachment is disabled.
As the configuration needs to be done for all object types that need to be able to store attachments, maybe someone here can indicate what the object type is for parked invoices. Alternatively, maybe there is a way to look up the various business object types.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Thanks.

I am a very new user of the SAP EP.
I believe i have EP 6.0 on my machine.(How do i find out which release of EP I am using ?)
As part of my first step towards learning OBN, I tried to create a folder under "Business Objects". But, I do not get any screen/message, when I right click on the Business Objects and say New Folder.
What authorizations / permissions are required for the same ?
Thanks for the help.

Support for WAI - Web Accessibility Initiative

I'm answering an RFQ with a requirement about WAI. My questions are:
a) Is any particular support for WAI planned?
b) Would it be OK to say that Portal supports building Web sites in accordance with the WAI guidelines?
Thanks,
Erik Hagen

G'day Matt,
Thanks for bringing up this very important point!
As far as I can tell this type of support is very limited. The HTML generated
by Portal is not great (just try running HTML Tidy over one of these pages:-).
The big bugger is not being able to set the "summary" attribute for tables and
well Portal uses a lot of tables (page regions, portlets, folder regions).
Ideally I would like to be able set this for portlets via the "edit defaults" link
during page creation. This requires the various portlet authors to help us out
a bit. Getting the authors of the "Folder" and "Navigation Bar" portlets to do
this would be a priority for me. They would also need to provide support for
any internal tables that get generated e.g. folder regions. This is probably
non-trivial---just think of all the tables that pop up when you click on the
"edit folder" link:-)
We would also need a fix for page regions which is probably the responsibilty
of a completly different set of authors.
This all looks like a lot of work so I'm not holding my breath for a quick patch.
Hopefully these issues will be addressed before Portal 3.1 comes out.
Ciao!
Kal.

Are ERP Sales Orders supported for B2C Web Channel Scenario in CRM 7.0?

Hi Experts,
We are on CRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 as backend system.
I just want to know whether the third party tax system (Vertex or Taxware) is mandatory for B2C WEB Channel implementation??
Without using a third party tax system, how can we configure tax for B2C web orders?
We have ERP sales order concept in 7.0. Will it support B2C scenario???
Regards,
vasu

Hi Ram,
-- Tax is configured in ECC using conditioni technique. They are not using any third party taxware/vertex system for this.
-- R/3 pricing procedure is intended to use for B2C transactions in Web channel and the pricing procedure refers to tax calculations. Even in B2c also they want to continue with the ECC pricing procedure.
-- The Requirement is to have pricing along with taxes and freight in the webshop, so that the consumers can pay the total amount using credit card as it is only the payment method available in the b2c Shop.
in the document "CAUSTAX_4.0" it was mentioned that use of third party system is mandatory for B2C scenarios. The relevant text is copied below.
As of CRM 3.1 and above, SAP provides a solution allowing you to use SAPu2019s jurisdictional tax method to calculate taxes.
Note: The use of external tax systems remains obligatory for B2C scenarios. However, if you are calculating tax in other scenarios and do not use external tax systems, this solution is applicable.
The solution consists of customizing changes in both R/3 and CRM. Even though you must make some changes in R/3, the basic process of calculating jurisdictional taxes remains the same. In CRM, the Transaction Tax Engine (TTE) calculates tax and you must configure it for the jurisdictional tax method.
My question is can we configure taxes in B2c shop using ECC pricing procedure? If yes, please provide the high level process steps.
thanks in advance

PCD Business Objects Permissions for Authenticated users

Hi All,
I am working on SRM7.0 Business package installed on Portal NW7.01.
I wanted to understand Which permissions should i provide to "Business Objects" PCD Folder for Authenticated users.
Should it be Administrator "None" and End User "ON"
Or Should it be Administrator "Read" and End User "ON"
Regards,
Ashish Shah

Hi Sandeep,
I was wondering what is the need of assigning permissions to "Everyone" Group and "Authenticated Users"
2. Group: Everyone(built in group)
Administrator:Read
Enduser:checked
3. Group:: Authenticated Users(built in group)
Administrator:Read
Enduser:checked.
If i am not using Anonymous users , should i only assign this permission?
Group:: Authenticated Users(built in group)
Administrator:Read
Enduser:checked.

Support for XML / Web Service Data Source?

Do you know if and when Crystal Reports for Eclipse will support using the XML / Web Service data source? It appears that only JDBC and Java Result Sets are currently supported. I am using:com.businessobjects.integration.eclipse.library_1.0.0.v671 com.businessobjects.sdks.jrc.11.8.0_11.8.1.v671 Thank you! 

Ok, I copied the JARs (such as CRDBXMLServer.jar) from the JRC SDK (from Eclipse all-in-one) onto the Tomcat classpath and got rid of my previous problem. I now get the stack trace below. I also can not find crdb_*.dll files (such as crdb_xml.dll) anywhere on my system other than the service pack 2 rollback directories.

Require Browser Plugin with XFA Support for Government Web Sites

Most of the government sites I need to use on a regular basis now publish all of their forms in PDF with XFA, a popular one this time of year is income tax forms. This is reasonable as there is no generally available alternative file format for this purpose. However Adobe no longer supplies an Acrobat browser plugin for Firefox or Chrome on Linux. I therefore cannot access these electronic forms. I have tried using the no longer supported Acrobat 9.5 plug in, but it is broken under the latest version of Firefox (print doesn't work). There is no other plugin that I can find that supports PDF forms using XFA. How can I regain access to these forms. When I try all I get is a message telling me to install the (non-existent) Adobe Acrobat plugin.

I was only using income tax filing as an example of this type of application. For the sake of my privacy I would rather not specify exactly what government I am dealing with or what the purpose of the form is. Suffice it to say that in this particular case the ONLY way to submit this form is through the paper form, and the only ways I can get a copy of the paper form are either to phone the office and have them mail me a blank form, or access the PDF file, which I cannot do because Adobe refuses to deliver a working browser plugin! As explained in another reply the government web site does not present me with the URL of the actual PDF file, but rather with the URL of a server application that checks the capabilities of my PDF plugin and if it does not support XFA sends me instead a text message instructing me to install the Adobe browser plugin that Adobe refuses to make available!
I agree that PDF with XFA is an inappropriate way to implement this sort of application, and I would personally prefer an alternative. For one thing using paper forms, even in electronic guise, costs more in the long run, since a civil servant must read the final paper document and enter the information into the government database, whereas if the client was presented with an ordinary web page the information could be entered directly by the client, and only validated by the clerk. However in a transitional environment where only some of the clients have the ability to enter information into a web site many government applications will continue to be implemented in terms of paper forms. In this environment it is important that all of the paper forms that have to be read by the data entry clerk look as much alike as possible. That is why PDF is used because only PDF guarantees that all of the paper forms will be identically laid out.
In this particular situation the government department in question has spent $276,000,000 so far on this particular subsystem over the past 3 years and so far it takes more effort to process each transaction than it did on the older more manual system.
