Business Query (or Business Objects) transparent sort

Post Author: waldopepper
CA Forum: Older Products
We're using Business Query 6.5.1 to insert data into Excel and we've been doing for a while using a SQL 2000 database and making use of the useful 'transparent sort' feature that lets you order the query results by fields not actually in the selection.We've just started a similar project using a different database (same server) and whenever we create queries for this new database, the transparent sort button is disabled with Business Queries.The help file states: "Transparent sorts are only available if the database at your site supports them"
It's definitely the database that is preventing this - we've used the same ODBC connection, Universe etc as the other DB that does work, just changing the DB it's accessing and it doesn't work when we switch databases to our new one.Does anyone have any idea what is preventing this? User permissions/rights, collation type etc?thanksw

Hi Denis,
Thanks for your response. I am aware that BO v5 is an outdated software but my client is still using it.
I tried to replicate the BusinessQuery issue by using my citrix profile but I also got the same error whereas my colleague didn't have any BQ issues with his profile.
I assume that the citrix team had installed Business Objects v5 in shared environment on WTS long ago and all Citrix BO users will access Business query module with their own profiles. But the BOMAIN.key file didn't copied into shared folder which is under Business Objects installable folder and Citrix team had copied it at some local drive for some reason
I asked the Citrix team to copy the BOMAIN.key file to affected user profile. Waiting to hear user response on output.
Kind Regards,
Srinivas

New business query

Hi,
I have created a copy of Activity_Query BDoc and added one parameter and amended the where clause. Then I ran gnrwb / xml dump, BDox sych in MAS and created a new Business Query based on the new BDoc above. After that I generated the object and used it in the coding for a query. Unfortunately it does not work. When I call the method newbusinessquery("Z_ACTQuery") the query object remains on nothing.
When I test the Query in MAS I don't see a SLQ statement and I get the response "Query is empty".
Has anybody an advise?

Hi Harish,
See this code sample, may be it will help you.
protected abstract Type BusinessObjectType { get; }
/// <summary>
/// Test that the business object can be saved.
/// </summary>
[Test]
public virtual void CanBeSaved() {
 Save(BusinessObjectType);
/// <summary>
/// Test if the BusinessObject can be deleted.
/// </summary>
[Test]
public virtual void CanBeDeleted() {
 BusinessObject bizObject = Save(BusinessObjectType);
 Assert.IsTrue(bizObject .Delete(), "The object could not be deleted.");
/// <summary>
/// Helper method for saving and business object.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="bizObjectType">The type of business object to save.</param>
protected BusinessObject Save(Type bizObjectType) {
 BusinessObject bizObject = (BusinessObject) Activator.CreateInstance(BusinessObjectType);
 LoadProperties(bizObject);
 SaveAsIs(bizObject);
 return bizObject;
/// <summary>
/// Helper method for saving and business object in its current state.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="bizObject">The <c>BusinessObject</c> to save.</param>
private BusinessObject SaveAsIs(BusinessObject bizObject) {
 Assert.IsTrue(bizObject.Save(), "The " + bizObject.GetType().Name + " could not be saved.");
 return bizObject;

Business query issue

Hi All,
Business Objects v517 - Business query 5.1 issue:
User will access Business query 5.1 through Citrix server via ILINK v6 page. Business query add-in is also added in excel. User will run BO reports from excel template via Business query
When user attempt to load Business query from excel via Citrix,an error message has been occuring and it is mentioned below
"Cannot access local security file. click OK to try again, or cancel to quit the application"
I guess local security file refers to BOMAIN.KEY file.
Can anyone of you all please explain what it is and how to resolve this ?
Kind Regards,
Srinivas

Replacement for Business Query BQAPI for Excel

Hello,
I am migrating from BusinessObjects 5.1 to Business Objects XI release 2 (Desktop inteligence 11.5.0.0).
Some users have developed solutions in 5.1 using Business Query for Excel extracting BO data directly to Excel.
Is there anything similar for Business Objects XI?.
Thanks,
Valentín Playá
Madrid, Spain

There's no direct migration path for BQ reports to BusinessObjects XI Release 2.
Closest in intent would be the Live Office product, described here:

Business Query designer

Hi All
I try to see Bex Queries in Business Objects Designer. Bex 7.0
Trouble : I try to click on the click box : Allow external queries in the Tab More (sorry I have them in German, so the translation is not perfect)
and the click box is greyed (disabled)
Any help will be welcomed
Thanks in advance
Vince

Hi Santosh
Thanks for your reply regarding the Business Query Designer Problem. I'm taking charge of the issue made by Vincent_BO.
I think you missunderstood our Problem.
It has nothing to do with the Language Configuration. When we create a new Query in Query Designer, it is possible to cross the Flag: "Allow External Access for this Query" under the right Panel: Options, register: advanced. ->please give me your email adress to send you the print screen of this configuration. Or is it possible to add a picture to this forum?
Now the problem is:
When we open an existing Query (from Bex) this Flag is disabled. (Please have a look on the following print screen again)
How can we enable this flag? we allready tried to copy a existing Query but the flag is still disabled. Is it possible to change this configuration directly on the database? which field in wich table would this be?
Thans so much for your help!!

Migration of Business Query file

Hi,
I would like to migrate Business Query files (bqy in BO 6.5) to Live Office (BO XI 3.1).
Is it possible? Is there a procedure for migration?
Regards

Generally we select "With Export". However, you can choose without export also. The difference is, when you use With Export, the data source can be recovered in BW 3.5.
Without export wont allow you to recover the datasource from BI7 to 3.5
Thanks....

What is business query??

hi can i anyone help me out pls..
thanx in advance.

http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise
"Business query" is not a prescisely defined term. If you want some help with a definition, you need to be specific. What are the circumstances that you heard this term? If someone asked you a question about this, what did you say when you asked them to define it or did you? If you read this somewhere, what was the context? This is what I'm getting at.
Don't assume we are mind-readers.

BUSINESS QUERY (used in lower version of BO 6.x) to be migrated to LIVE OFFICE u2013

We have requirement in one of the project whereby they have BUSINESS QUERY (used in lower version of BO 6.x) to be migrated to LIVE OFFICE u2013 new product available in BOXI r2.
This cannot be migrated as BusinessQuery is no longer supported.
So we need to do a manual task of getting these Business query converted into Live office.
Please provide me with a writeup stating, what are the challenges, what is the process for converting BusinessQueries to live office, effort required to do the same.

About Business Intelligence and Business Warehouse.

Greetings Gentilemen,,
I'm currently working as an ABAP Consultant, but i want to get information about Business Intelligence and Business Warehouse because I want to pursue my career as a functional consultant.
What do i need to study and do i have to get access to BW system to do some self studying ?!
TIA

Hi
You're on the right track. The Oracle 11g database does indeed come with OWB. Out of the box, OWB can and will work with OLAP. However, are you licensed for OLAP? That is an add-on to the standard Oracle database license and, if I'm not mistaken, a separate install option too. I'm not 100% certain but I don't think the base Oracle database installer gives you the OLAP objects, I think you have to choose the custom install. Please make sure you buy the right license though.
As for ad-hoc querying and reporting, Discoverer will do you just fine. It is very reasonably priced and, as you say, it is part of the Oracle BI Standard Edition.
BI Enterprise Edition is the top of the range Oracle model for BI. It can do the same as Discoverer plus some - at a price! Personally, if you only want to work with some ad-hoc queries I would start out with Discoverer as it is the easiest to install and learn. Its also the cheapest entry point into the BI world. Later, if you decide that Discoverer is not for you then you can pay the BI EE license fee and upgrade. Oracle will even have tools that will allow you to upgrade your metadata and existing reports. Therefore, don't think that by starting out with Discoverer that you will be locking yourself into that tool because you will not.
Best wishes
Michael

Difference between Business service, Business system and Business process

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the difference between Business service, Business system and Business process?
Thanks,
Harikumar. S

Hi,
Business system
It is a logical system from a business point of view.
One or more logical systems that belong together from a business point of view is called a group of Business system group. A business system group represents a unit within a company or organization that can be defined according to legal, economic, administrative or geographic factors.
The objects in a business system group are uniquely identified by a uniform numbering system.
Business process
Business procedure within an enterprise that uses resources and can involve activites from a number of different cost centers in a controlling area.
When executing a business process, activities can be utilized for several cost centers of a controlling area.
Business service
Its a third party system.
All these belong to a Business Scenario which is
Description of the flow of business processes according to a business typology. A business scenario represents a template for a business process, which runs within a particular area of a company process. All processes required to completely process the task are listed in chronological order in the scenario. Business scenarios can be described graphically, in either aggregated or detailed form (EPC). Example: Direct sale to industrial recipient

How do you differentiate business process and business scenario

how do you differentiate business process and business scenario???
pls help

Google says;
A business scenario is a description of a business problem, which enables requirements to be viewed in relation to one another in the context of the overall problem. Without such a description to serve as context, the business value of solving the problem is unclear; the relevance of potential solutions is unclear and there is a danger of the solution being based on an inadequate set of requirements. A key factor in the success of any other major project is the extent to which it is linked to business requirements, and demonstrably supporting and enabling the enterprise to achieve its business objectives. Business scenarios are an important technique to help identify and understand business needs.
A business process -

Business Systems and Business Service - does any difference

Hi Experts,
Could any one please guide me what is the difference between
Business Systems
and
Business Service.
Which situations we use Business Systems / Business Service.
Does it have any performance issues?
Why we are not configuring Business service in SLD?
Cheers Experts!!
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Business System: Address a particular business system as the sender or receiver of messages.
A business system is an actual application system in a system landscape. A business system
(service) comprises information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and the software
component versions of the business system. The business system services are used when
configuring internal company processes.
Business Systems are Logical Senders or Receivers that exchange messages by using the Integration
Server and that are entered in the System Landscape Directory.
The Business Systems in the System Landscape Directory relate to a system landscape.
The Business Systems of business partners are therefore not entered in the System Landscape
Directory. To be able to address such business partners logically, use communication components in
the Integration Directory. A business system is a way of specifying a communication component in the
Integration Directory more precisely (business system component).
Business Service: Address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages.
Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies
involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces. The business services are used when
configuring cross-company processes.
In the PCK, the Service is of type Business Service. It represents an abstract, addressable unit.
Business services are used in cross-company processes, for example, if the parties involved have only
published their interfaces and not their system landscape, or it is only partly known.
Using a Business Service,we can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved
and then assign them the relevant interfaces.
It is useful to use Business Services when configuring cross-company processes. Usually, the
interface descriptions of the business partners involved are made publicly available.
Also,There is already lot of thread regarding the same discussion, please see it below.
