Business Objects User Rights

Hi, We are runnign a rather old version of BO 5.1...
Does anyone know what user rights are needed to run the application, it seems unless you put the user in the Power users or Administrators group on Windows XP you cannot get the app to run.
Surley you do not need to have a user with such elevated rights just to run an app?
If anyone could answer i'd be most grateful
Thanks,

Use of MYSQL when installing Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1

Hello Team,
I am quite new Business Objects and right now I am using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1.
when installing BO XI 3.1, I was prompted to select the database server to be created. I chose MySQL.
Now, I am curious to know the pupose/involvement of a database server for BO. I understand that the database is being managed/used by CMS and it has four main functions:
Maintains security (users)
Manages objects (folders, reports, and program objects)
Manages servers (services)
Manages auditing (system auditor).
Is there any better explanation to the database and its purpose?
what does the database schema/user holds (any database objects,tables,etc..,)?
Does repository and database schema the same?
Are all the report objects, users and universe being stored in the database schema?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Regards,
Kathir

CMS handles security and routes the request to other services.
Yes, CMS also maintains the BOE repository.
CMS is responsible for authenticating users and groups, and keeping track of the availability of the other BusinessObjects Enterprise services. If CMS is down then users wont be able to log into BOE.
Report Objects, Universe are stored in the Input File Repository and the instances are stored in Output File Repository server.
In simple words, CMS is like heart of BOE.

the database server for BO XI 3.1 is needed to store the repository for the system which in another meaning the structure of the system itself.
yes the repository is the same as the schema, but schema is a database concept.
all the objects (universes, reports,,,,,,, etc) are stored in the FileStore of Business Obejcts system, but the structure of how those object are stored is exist into the repository database.
good luck

Difference Between Business Object And Class Object

Hi all,
Can any one tel me the difference between business object and class Object....
Thanks...
..Ashish

Hello Ashish
A business object is a sematic term whereas a class (object) is a technical term.
Business objects are all important objects within R/3 e.g. sales order, customer, invoice, etc.
The business objects are defined in the BOR (transaction SWO1). The have so-called "methods" like
BusinessObject.Create
BusinessObject.GetDetail
BusinessObject.Change
which are implemented (usually) by BAPIs, e.g.:
Business Object = User
User.Create => BAPI_USER_CREATE1
User.GetDetail => BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
CONCLUSION: Business Object >< Class (Object)

Business Object builder

Hi all,
I have a business object whose key field and attirbutes are mapped to a database table.
Now when I instantiate the object with the key field and the key field is a wrong entry then I want my object to throw ane error saying the "Key Field entry is invlaid or no datas exist for the following Key Field entry".
How shall i go for it.
Dev

Hello
Have a look at the business object USER. It contains a "method" USER.ExistenceCheck that is realized by BAPI_USER_EXISTENCE_CHECK.
Take this as an example of how you should go on with your business object.
Please note that business objects and their methods have nothing to to with object-orientated programming.

Business Object XI3.0

Hello,
I Install the Business Object XI3.0 successfully. Where can wei see system name, usename, password information. what will be the default user name ? installation time system asked me Mysql root user Account password,Mysql Business Objects User name & password. I tried all these user names and passwords its giving invalid user name or password.
Folks where wecan see User name and password infomation?
Thanks

Hi Jacqueline, the Motors database does not come with the BusinessObjects installation. If you have taken a training class, it should be provided in the class material (in a CD on the back of the training book if you have purchased the book).
Since you took a web based training instead of an instructor-led training class, I am not familiar on how the training materials are disseminated. Did they ever ask you to download the training materials? Or perhaps your BO Admin had downloaded and installed the Motors database? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to go through the training class back then. How did you do the practice exercises?
Regardless, if you don't have it for some reason, you can always contact SAP Support for assistance.

Business Objects Password reset via Oracle SQL

Post Author: Neville
CA Forum: Administration
Hello ,
Is it possible to reset a Business Objects user Password using Oracle SQLPlus?
The password data is stored under obj_m_actor in the repository!
Regards,

What do you mean by "application"?We do have a number of home grown applications that require username, and password.
Some of these application use the standard ldap username/password. So resetting the password here may also reset other application passwords as well. Yet some of our application have their own unique way of resetting the password for the application. I am hoping to copy the way that a sys admin usually does this and replicate it using java. Some are command line, other are through the use of a tool used by the application. So far I have been able to replicate most of them using java. I am still working on 1 other. 5 out of 6 not bad. Anyway, we would like to go to one place to reset the password for a user, and then email that temp password to them. Of course we will have some sort of authentication to change the password, such as unique questions they must answer, etc...

Display the login User ID on Header in Business Objects XI R3.1 Infoview

In XI R2 Infoview- the login user ID is displayed on header. However In XI R3.1 infoview- displayed Business Objects Logo on the same place of the Header. We noticed that In BO XI3.1 infoview the login user ID is displayed on header. However the Business Objects logo is displayed on top of the user ID so the user ID is hidden. while Setting the Infoview Application properties in CMC (CMC>Applications>Infoview Application Properties> check Do not display logo) then it will hide the logo and then next login displays the login user ID. Could someone please confirm is it the solution with this configuration or else please help us how to display the user ID on Infoview Header.

Hey,
What you did is exactly correct.
Now you did on XI-R2 and 3.1 right??, whenever you got upgrade to next release of BO version again you have to do the same changing of properties. Which should not be dynamic based on your previous changes on earlier versions.
Thank You!!

Business Objects XI 3.1 Administrator rights

Hi:
Could someone tell me or point in the right direction for determining if any, or which Business Objects desktop application may require the user to be part of the sytem administrator group? Currently running BO 6.5 Supervisor and Recipient Manager modules, among others but we will soon be upgrading to Business Objects XI 3.1 - I know we need administrator rights to install so I'm onl asking about running the applications - thanks

Hi Darlynn,
administrator rights (on OS side) are not required in order to run most BOBJ dekstop applications (e.g Universe Designer, rich WebI client, DeskI client). Still you have to take care eventually of firewall issues if you have a firewall between your server and your clients.
Please make also sure that the users have write access to the temp directories used by the tools e.g. Universe designer.
You may have some issues with the Import Wizard though since it requires write access to it's installation directory (this is where its temp directory resides). That was at least the case in XI R2.
The Import Wizard is not every user's tool though.

Business Objects Dashboard External HTML/JAVA Script Link - User Authentication Depolyment Q

Hello,I have a rather unstructured problem here and am relatively new to Business Objects Enterprise. We have users who are authenticated through Business Objects. The login sets their access levels and permissions. In addition to the BO reports, we would also like to link through BO Dashboard a JAVA Script webpage.The JAVA Script and Business Object software sits on the same webserver.The problem is that through BO Dashboard and also an external URL link we can only pass a static link (i.e. /some directory/some doc.html) and not a dynamic userid with the URL, which changes based on the user (i.e. /some directory/some doc.jsp?UID=user1).The solution might be to insert a Business Object API call that can determine the user who is currently logged in? Or, if there is some way around the static html link through Business Objects Dashboard?Any ideas or thoughts would be deeply appreciated.Thanks,Joe

Are you setting Business Objects up as an external application?
If so, what parameters are you using to set it up?
Based on the fact that you're seeing the basic auth dialog, you probably need to specify
that it's using basic auth -- not GET.

Business Objects Enterprise - domain user

As mentioned in blog at /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2 the SNC interface can be used to provide SSO with Business Objects Enterprise.
The SSO works if the Windows services are started using a domain account, because the SNC session between BO server and SAP server is initiated using these domain credentials. We have found though, after 1 week the users credentials expire (due to ticket lifetime configuration in Active Directory) so BO server needs to be restarted every week. To solve this we are aware that SAP RFC library requires an SNC_MYNAME parameter, and we have put domain credentials on BO server in a key table file. I am wondering if you know how we can configure the SNC_MYNAME parameter in the RFC connection string used by BO software ?

Ingo,
I am referring to client side SNC, as described in part 1 of your blog. As you know, a domain account is needed and the Windows services need to be changed to start as this domain account, instead of as system. When this change is made, and the WIndows services are started, they will request a Kerberos TGT from the domain, which has a lifetime associated with it - all domain users tickets have liftetime, determined by a domain policy. The liftetime of a TGT is normally about 8 hours.
When an RFC request is made by one of the Windows services, and the SNC library is invoked, it will get a service ticket from domain and store in same credentials cache that holds the TGT (inside LSA on Windows). This service ticket will expire at same time as the TGT used to request it.
If the SNC library gets a Kerberos service ticket, and the TGT has expired, but is still within the Renew Until period (normally 1 week after TGT was issued because of policy configuration) then a new TGT is issued, and the service ticket will be issued with the new TGT.
So, from above you can see that using SNC with Kerberos, means that the tickets only last for 1 week because of domain policy configuraiton of Kerberos ticket lifetime and because of renew period for tickets issued by AD. The only way that the Kerberos tickets could be used for longer, is if:
a) The service is restarted, thereby causing it to get a new TGT and the renew until date/time for this new TGT will be 1 week after the TGT was issued.
b) The TGT could be issued when an RFC call is made, and this TGT cached in a separate memory cache, instead of in MS LSA cache normally used by Windows.
Our product supports opiton b) but to make it work we need to understand how the BO software constructs the RFC connection string, and we need to add SNC_MYNAME parameter to this string. I can explain how this works in more detail if you like, but all I need is to know where the RFC parameters are stored. For example, is there an saprfc.ini file which we can edit and add the SNC_MYNAME parameter to this file ?

Business Object 6.5 Retain User Preference

Greetings All,
I'm currently administering a couple of box with BO65 installed. Lately, my customer are complaining that their user preference are not automatically saved on the server. Once the application is closed, the preferences are lost. Preferences here are referring to those toolbars which are not turned on by default when user logs in to BO65. Hence, how should I configure so that my customers can able be able to retains its preference (ie toolbars turned on) for every session? Or is this just how BO 6.5 behavas meaning it can't retain user's preference? By the way, my environment is currently hosting BO65 with citrix just in case if that would make any different. Any advice is much appreciated!!

Is there a standard business object for User Master in SAP?
Somehow I just could not find it.

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.

Ashish Shah
