CAF Content (Data of Business Object) in Local DB Reimport

Hallo Experts
We have developed the application using CAF and I've noticed that the data saved in the local DB is lost if I made the redeployment of CAF project. Thus I want to first export the CAF content using the follow steps described
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-102650#cf before I do the Redeployment on the Produktion Plattform (to be sure that the data in the production Plattform is not going lost.)
======================================
   1.      Open the Service Browser. To do that, use the following URL: http://<host>:<port>/caf.
   2.      Choose Service Browser.
   3.      From the left pane, choose the application that contains the data you want to transport.
   4.      Choose Transport Content.
   5.      From the Content Transport table, select the business object nodes that you want to transport and choose Create Transport File.
6.      Choose one of the options for type of the transport file, containing the business data you want to transport:
Download DBContent XML u2013use this option if you want to extract XML database content in production systems or use this option if you want to translate the exported database content.
Download DBContent SDA u2013 use this option only if you want to extract database content SDA for test purposes.
===========================================
But I don't find how can I reimport the data using DBContentXML. Amd the links on the right side link to the old version. Could anyone tell me how to reimport the data?
We use SAP NetWeaver 7.1. ENH
Thanks a lot and nice Regards!
Ping

As I could see on SAP Help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/1fedbfe9d663cee10000000a11466f/frameset.htm) the exported content is an SDA that has to be deployed on the target server.
I´m also facing this issue on CE 7.2.
Have you tried this option?

How to extract Cognos Data into Business Objects?

Hi All,
I would like to know whether anyway to pull Cognos data into Business Objects?
1. Pull data thru Universe from Cognos Cubes?
2. Pull data using Crystal reports from Cognos Cubes?
3. Or any otehr method of pulling data from Cognos Cubes?
If nothing is possible I would have to explore using the RDBMS Tables to build Universe, WebI and then present in Xcelsius. Anybody is aware of getting data from Cognos?
Thanks in advance.

Cognos Reporting on SAP BI data
We need to create a new project to import the structure of the SAP BI cube or Multiprovider.
Enter User ID and password.
Click on OK
It will ask you to enter the User ID and password again. After enter the User ID and password it will ask you to select the language.
Then it will ask you to select the metadata source, select the Data source as shown in below fig. and click next.
Select the data Source as shown in below.
Here we are planning to import SAP BW cube so we have to select SAP BW and click on next.
Select sign on and Click on OK.
Here we have to select our desired cube or multiprovider and click next.
Now we have to select the language again.
Here Cognos is giving the flexibility to use different options when importing cube structures.
Here I am selecting to use the technical name of the objects and to bring same model as it is in SAP BI.
Finally it will show list of all objects which are imported from SAP BI.
When you click on finish it will take to the frame work manager. There you will see the SAP BI Cube Structure.
Now it is exactly imported like SAP BW extended star schema model.
Here you can compare the technical names of the dimensions in both in Cognos and SAP BI is same.
         COGNOS    Model                                         SAP BI Cube model
Here I am comparing the values of the info Objects with in one dimension.
               Cognos Model                                                   SAP BI Model
If there are any hierarchies in BI, it will form separately as shown in below fig.
When you open the main object of Program definition, we will find 3 objects under this.
It is always recommendable to use Level 01 objects.
This is how it looks when you open all the above 3 objects. You can use any of those depends on your report requirement.
When you open the info object if you see number of different items, that means this info object has got attributes in it.
0COMP_CODE is the technical name of the info object in BI.
In Cognos if it technical name starts with 1  Short Text of the Info Object.
                                                                   2  Key of the Info Object.
                                                                   4  Long Text of the Info Object.
                                                         5  Medium Text of the Info Object.
LELEL00  Is Summarized values.
LEVEL01  Is Item level values of Info Object.
Once you see this in bw/bi environment, i hope you know how to gather and use it in BOBJ environment !!

Query related to Siebel Data Bean - Business Object - Account - Update

Hello,
I am using Siebel Databean to update Business object - Account fields. I am using the field names displayed in browser to update the Account properties.
But sometimes it fails with below error:-
For e.g. Field 'Account Team' -
Field 'AccountTeam' does not exist in definition for business component 'Account'.
Please ask your systems administrator to check your application configuration.(SBL-DAT-00398)
Where I can find the information related to mapping of fields in business object 'Account' which I can use in Siebel Data bean program?

Hi!
You need to use Siebel Tools to determine the Business Component Field Mappings to the Applet Controls that you're looking at.

Why is date format in mm/dd/yy & time 12hs when entering date in Business Objects report paramenters - V4 only?

Since upgrading to FF4 Business Objects XI parameter dates & times are mm/dd/yy & 12hrs as against dd/mm/yy & 24hrs. FF4 even takes previous dates like 1/5/11 (1May11) and interprets it as 5Jan11. Just have to remember which browser I am using, how it is still counter-intuitive for a non-American.

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but maybe you could try:
where to_char(meeting_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') =
nvl(to_char(:tday,'dd-mm-yyyy'),to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))
or perhaps this one:
where to_char(meeting_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') =
nvl(:tday,to_char(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))
Thanks,
Richard.

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...

Hello Vikram,
I recommend to post this query to the [Integration Kits - SAP|BusinessObjects Integration Kits; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all SAP Kit queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

CAF Business Objects in Separate Database

We currently have an application written in CAF which is using Business Objects/Entity Services using local persistence. I believe the local persistence automatically uses the default datasource defined in the SAP WAS portal server and creates the tables in that database.
The requirement is to have that CAF application data stored in a different database instead of the portal database. There are ways to install a separate datasource in the SAP WAS server to point to a different database, but I don't know how to make CAF Business Objects use that newly installed datasource, or whether it is possible?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
it seems I've to achieve that by using associations.
But how should the Scenario look for my example?
The relation is the following:
Each application has exactly one division.
Is it correct like that?
DIVISION: Association to APPLICATION ("DivisionApplication"), CROSS_BO, ONE_TO_MANY
BO APPLICATION: Association to DIVISION ("ApplicationDivision"), CROSS_BO, NONE_TO_ONE
Another question:
I can now add an association to APPLICATION through the service browser by choosing the association name "ApplicationDivision" and putting the 32 digit the DIVISION that I want to associate.
Is that the only way to do it in service browser?
As this is impossible for business users, do I have to create a WD for them to maintain those values in an easier way?
Thanks.

Implementation Business Objects in CAF and developing WDJ application

Hi Experts,
I've read some articles about SAP CE CAF from SDN and I'm making some exercises according those guidence. Right now I have a problem and want to get suggestion from you.
As you know, from CE 7.1.1, the CAF support importing the Business Object through EJB model. So when develop a WDJ application using caf, we can using these procedures:
(Implementing business objects in CAF and developing WebDynpro application)
1) Create business objects or application service.
2) Generate EJB Implementation class for business objects or app service.
3) Create a WebDynpro application
4) Importing the EJB model using the template.
5) Create the UI for the app.
My problem is: In the business object or application serivice, if the operation parameter type is integer, after we generate the EJB class, the type will changed to String. After the WDJ UI is created, the application test failed. The integer field could not passed to the BO successfully.
If all the parameters type are string in the operation, there's no problem. But when I use Integer or Date, the EJB class will change the type and the WDJ app will failed.
I've also test the scenario in CE enviroment including 7.3 also failed. So I'm a little confused which step was wrong. I don't know whether you've seen such problem before, if you could give any suggestion, it'll be very appreciated!

Hi, Winters.
I got the same program, try to parse into the type which you want in AS operation.

You need to create a universe based on the RDBMS source. Look at the COGNOS data flow to create universe. Have you found any other leads?

Business Object Repository (BOR) in CAF

Hi,
The Business Object Repository (BOR) is the object-oriented repository in the R/3 System. It contains the SAP business object types and SAP interface types as well as their components, such as methods, attributes and events.
Is there something similar in CAF for custom developed business objects / entities.
Thanks.
Dick

Hi Richard,
Currently, the only way to view all of the deployed CAF services and related attributes is through the Service Browser. There is nothing like the BOR.
In Netweaver 2007, you will be able to publish CAF services to the Enterprise Service Repository (ESR) which will also contain all of the SAP Enterprise Services. The ESR will be the single place to view all business objects and related services for an entire IT landscape.
Best Regards,
Austin.

Difference between SAP BI 7.0 and SAP Business objects

Dear All,
I would like to know what is the difference between SAP BI 7.0 and SAP Business objects.What Advantage will we have if we implement sap business objects rather then SAP BI 7.0.WOur management wants to implement

Hi,
Strategies for better reports, queries, Web reporting, formatting, dashboards, cockpits, planning, and performance management
advantages of BO
Crystal Reports XI is the latest version of the report writer from Business Objects. Local reports guru David McAmis takes the new version for a spin.
Most developers might know Crystal Reports from versions included in Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and other popular developer IDEu2019s such as BEA Workshop, C# Builder, Delphi 2005, JBuilder, WebSphere.
In this latest installment both report and application developers have something to be excited about as there are a host of new features for report design and integration. Hereu2019s a run-down of what you can expect in this release.
What's New in Xcelsius version 4.5
Xcelsius now provides the following new components:
Candlestick and OHLC Chart components
The open-high-low-close and candlestick charts are primarily used to display stock data. Each marker corresponds to the four values, which are represented as lines attached to the marker on the OHLC chart and as colors on the candlestick chart. Open displays the opening price of the stock. High displays the highest price the stock achieved on that day. Low displays the lowest price the of the stock on that day. Close displays the closing price of the stock.

Need toughts on approach. Client moving to Maconomy/Business Objects

Post Author: klokhammer
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi.On of our important clients are most likely to migrate between economy systems within the next 9 months. Case as follows:
We have developed a budgeting/forecast and reporting system for a certain market/company. The solution is based on a Microsoft SQL 2000 database/server with Microsoft Access as application interface. The solution is integrated and gets actual figures from the economy system Aspect on a IBM iSeries (AS400) system. The "edge" of the system lies in sophisticated budgeting/forecast routines, the report module is rather poor....
The client is now most likely to migrate to Maconomy as the new economy system, and Maconomy AnalytiX as the new BI system (which I understand uses Business Objects.)
We are new to Business Objects and need general recommendations on what level we should try to integrate on. Should we "ditch" all the development done in Access and build a new solutions through Business Objects, keeping all the business logics, but not the interface?
Should we try to integrate on a database level, keeping the interface in Access (for budgeting/forecast), and exporting data into Business Objects to allow reporting through Maconomy AnalytiX?
As you most likely have understood, my knowledge about Business Objects are pretty poor. But please try to give me your thoughts on how we should move along, and what kind of "standard" considerations we must have in mind.
Kind regardsklokhammer

klokhammer,
I checked out Macanomy's web site and searched for references to Business Objects, and sure enough it is mentioned here and there. What it sounds like is that Macanomy has developed some "Macanomy Standard Reports" using BusObjects, so if you want these nifty Macanomy reports available to you, you buy the Macanomy product, which is bundled w/ BusObjects, and voila you have the reports. It sounds like a winning strategy. On the other hand, in order to get this type of capability, an organization would have to hire a staff to purchase and install Business Objects, then the staff would have to understand the financial database that the client has established and populated, and then the staff would have to set about building the reports that are needed. With Macanomy, it seems that you get the whole kit and kaboodle in one swoop, which is good for an organization providing that it is on the same wave-length as Macanomy. In regards to your question about what to do with your existing infrastructure, this is a call only you and your client can make. In IT, it's always about the data and how it is used. Peeling back the onion a bit, the process works like this: in order for the Macanomy reports to work, the report must be properly built and it must read from a "universe", which is a BusObjects term for defining the interface between the user and the database (the meta data process). In order for the universe to exist, it must be built by a "Universe Designer". The Universe Designer must have an intracate knowledge of how every table in the database will be used to support the reports that the end-user wants to have (either pre-canned (standard) or ad hoc capability). The database is still a critical piece, and reviewing the Macanomy offering I have a funny feeling that they come in with their own database structure and universe, which makes their process a much quicker install. The downside, as it appears to me, is how you would migrate your existing data into the Macanomy structure (this goes back to the two parties being on the same wavelength). I think in your case it's going to be a matter of ditching your database structure in MS SQL 2000 and Access, and adopting the Macanomy structure, but this may be more painful to do than any one at this point realizes. It sounds like you need to continue arming yourself with knowledge before making any final decisions. Good luck, and perhaps keep all of us posted on your experiences.

Authorisation in Business Objects Explorer Infospaces created on BEx query

Hello,
We have installed Business Objects Explorer, created Universe on BEx query and created a Explorer Infospace on that universe. everything works fine but the authorisations created for the user in BEx query are not taken into consideration when I login using SAP username "leveraging" SSO.
Is Explorer not designed to consider authorisations in BEX query?
Whats happening during Indexing of an Infospace? Will the system save the data in Business Objects repository from the source of the data?
Thanks in advance.
/Suman

Hi Suman,
You are right , Explorer is not designed to leverage Authorisations in SAP BW.
Polestar is indexing data and keeping it out side of BW. Although you can log in with SSO , it doesn't check the authorization according to BW, it shows everything indexed.
You can have a workaround if the case is simple such as;
Suppose you have 3 region , you can create 3 infospaces and give these authorizations to users from CMC.
But if you really want to use all features of authorization in BW , it is impossible for now.
