Connect Business Objects to Essbase 7.1.x

Hi,
Has anyone ever successfully connected Business Objects to Essbase 7.1.x? If so, was it worth it? Also, where does the Essbase Runtime Client need to be installed?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
I have connect BO & Cognos to Essbase cubes. It depends on the type of reporting you are doing on whether it is worth it or not. If you want faster ad hoc reporting via BO connected to your cube, it's worth it.
Client would be installed on your machine.
What version of BO would you be connecting to? XI? Web connectivity?

Connect Business Objects to SAS Data Set?

Has anyone ever been able to use a SAS data set as a data source for Business Objects?

I've connected to a SAS datastore in Business Objects Data Services, and it's straightforward.
What you need is to set SAS up as an ODBC server.
This can be done in 2 ways:
- Using the SAS/SHARE product on any server that is accessible from BOBJ. This is quite pricey, so maybe you should only consider this if you have a SAS/SHARE license already, or your project can pay for it.
- Using an ordinary running SAS session on the same server.
You also need to install an ODBC driver on your BOBJ server, in order to access your SAS ODBC server.
You can read about SAS ODBC on SAS Institutes website. Start here:

Can SQL Server (2008 R2/2012) Integration Services connect to Business Objects / Hyperion directly?

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to pull data from Business Objects and
Hyperion using
SSIS (2008 R2/2012). I did some pro-active research on how to go about implementing this on a couple of Forums and could only figure out the below solution.
We can create an ODBC DSN / connection for Business Objects and that can be used by SSIS as a connection manager to directly link to the Business
Objects Universe. (http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=622922&sid=fbb54541e1daacf9714a5672b5ed1314)
Question 1 - Has anyone tried to implement this in past? Is this possible directly or can be achieved through some workarounds? sharing inputs/experience on this will be highly appreciated!
Question 2 - If this possible in any way , how to get this thing set-up in an environment where SSIS and BO are residing on two different domains/networks. Any way to establish a connection from SSIS
to the BO instance/server?
Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this issue.
Thanks

Business Objects Open Connectivity Configuration in Universe Connection

Friends,
i'm trying to create a Universe based on a flat file. I found out this Business Objects Open Connectivity (in Generic Sources) to use files as sources.
But I'm not sure how to use it? Can anyone help with this or share a doc how to use this functionality?

Hi BHARATH C S ,
Follow the below steps.
1. Save the Excel in Local disk.
2. Go to Start>>Control Panel>>Administrative tools>Data Sources(ODBC)
3. Select System DSN>>Add>>Microsoft excel Driver(*.xls)
4. Give a new data source name and click on 'Select workbook' and point the saved excel sheet and click on OK
5. Create a new connection in Universe designer by using the Generic ODBC connection
6. Create a new universe and insert the table which we have defined in the Excel sheet.
If this solve your issue then Mark the answer as a correct.

Business Objects XI 3.1 Connection to Oracle 10

I am new to the world of Business Objects and In Universe Designer, when I try to create an Oracle OCI connection, I get the following error:
CS:DBDriver failed to load : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\ConnectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found).
The path for windows environment variable is :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin\OpC;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin\;C:\Program Files\HP OpenView\lib\
Also, when I try to use cscheck on server to check connection, nothing happens - is there any setting I have to make to get this working. I have used SQLPLUS to connect to the database successfully.
Any help or pointers appreciated

Hi Michelle,
Please restart the connection server and try again. In case Oracle client was installed after installing BOE, restart of Connection server might be required. You can also verify if all the Orcale libraries are indeed inside the Oracle/bin. When you install Oracle instant clinet there will be no bin. the binaries will be present C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\. Please try these two option.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Connecting to Business Objects

I am running Crystal Reports xi R2 Standard. My knowledge of Business Objects is limited. I have recently had Business Objects installed and now wish to connect to the Universe. However, there is no selection in database expert in Crystal to connect to the Universe. Firstly I thought I was running the wrong Crystal SP but after upgrading to SP6 there is no difference. I do not find any reference to similar problems any where on the net. I am able to open existing rom the Universe by browsing there, but I cannot run them as I get an error "The Database Connector 'crdb_universe.dll' could not be found"
Am I running the correct version of Crystal Reports to connect to a Universe running on MY SQL, but connecting to a CA MDB Database running on SQL2005? Are there any client-side ODBC settings that need to be in place? If so, what driver should be used and where should they be pointed? What else can I try? I have seen references to a fix (ADAPT01038498), but I assumed this would be included in SP6.

Hi Garth,
Is the BOE server XI R2 also? If not that would be one problem, they must both be the same version and try to use the same patch level. Second, there is a Client install on the BOE CD, run it on your PC where you have CR installed. Then you may have to do a repair install of CR so it will find all of the drivers. Use the Custom Option and select the database drivers. I don't recall if Universe was an option now. If not then the client install should install it for you. Then when you go to the database Wizard you should see Enterprise or Repository as an option.
Thank you
Don

Problem connecting SAP IS-U (ECC 6.0) with Business Objects Edge 3.1

Dear all,
I'm trying to connect to a SAP ECC 6.0 System (SAP IS-U) with Business Objects 3.1 (for example with Crystal Reports). I have installed the SAP RFC SDK on the ECC server and have imported these transport files:
Open SQL reporting objects
InfoSet reporting objects
Row Level Security Tool
Security functions
Cluster Definition Editor
But CR keeps returning this error "You do not have the necessary rights to design reports against the SAP System". I've read a few threads about that problem here. I couldn't find a specific "ABAP transport" - did I miss to import anything else?
Is there any way to check whether the transport files work as they are supposed to? Like the MDX parser connection test for SAP Business Warehouse.
Any other suggestions?
thanks in advance!

Hi,
I read about these authorization tasks in some other thread, but didn't know what to do.
But now I found the auth. object in the transaction SU21.
Since I cannot edit SAP_ALL I created another profile in transaction PFCG (just in case someone else is still messing with that problem) and added all activities of ZSEGREPORT ans S_RFC.
After that I added the profile to the users in question.
Now everything works like a charm.
Thanks alot!

Can I use UI-API connected company with DI-API business objects?

Hi.
I have to make some inventory transactions, by using DI-API business object Documents:
SAPbobsCOM.Documents vInventoryGenEntry;
vInventoryGenEntry = (SAPbobsCOM.Documents)
oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oInventoryGenEntry);
But, the Company object available on UI-API doesn't give me GetBusinessObject, that is necessary to use a business object.
Then, I think it's necessary to make at least 2 connections:
- DI-API connection, using SAPbobsCOM.Company()
- UI-API connection, using SboGuiApi.Connect(sConnectionString)
Is it true?
I'm looking for a solution that uses just one connection.
Is there another way to do that?
Thanks.

Hi!
There is a way to get a "real" company object from the ui application object, using a method called "Single sign-on". Look for it in the documentation, that is just what you need.
Hope it helps!

Connecting to IPCC DB (db_cra) using Business Objects

Hi,
I've been tasked with creating a Business Objects universe against a CISCO IPCC SQL Server database (db_cra), and I have no knowledge of the database and how the system works. I also don't have access to the database outside of Crystal Reports. I can connect through CR with the instructions provided by CISCO and using an OLE DB (ADO) connection, and there's also a launchHRC executable that was added to the crw32.exe shortcut. The OLE DB (ADO) connection has Integrated Security checked, so I have no idea how I'm able to connect to the database and tables without being added to database security.
Business Objects does not have an option for creating an OLE DB (ADO) connection. I have no idea if it's even possible to connect to the database. Normally we have a default reporting user that's used to set up OLE DB and ODBC universe connections using SQL authentication.
And from what my colleague in Japan told me, it's not possible to add users to the db_cra database security.
If there's any information that you could provide it would be greatly appreciated I'm really lost with this one so any help or advice would be great.
Thank you!!
Kevin V.

Hi
It's best to specify product (UCCE, UCCX) and version when posting.
If you are UCCX v7.0 or lower, then see this : https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/272601
The trick is to set up the account on the server with rights to the DB, and use the windows pass through auth method to access the DB using integrated security (as SQL auth is disabled by default).
If on 8.0 or higher it's different as you're in informix land, and need to set up and use the uccxhruser account.

Business Objects XI 3.0/3.1- Connection with SAP ERP not with BW

Hi all members,
I have to confirm that can we connect "SAP Business Objects XI 3.0 or XI 3.1" with SAP ERP.
My client does not have SAP Business Warehouse. Neither they are interested to have SAP BW.
So, I have to confirm that can we connect "SAP Business Objects XI 3.0 or XI 3.1" with SAP ERP ?
Any other thing i have to go for?
Kindly any member guide me in bit detail.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Izhar

Hi,
currently it is not possible to build web intelligence reports fetching data directly from an SAP ERP system. The reason is that SAP ERP data sources are not supported in universes.
Regards,
Stratos
PS: An option is to deploy a BOBJ rapid mart. Please note that in this case you require the BOBJ Data services (ETL) tools. The idea behind the SAP ERP related rapid marts is that in the first step the data are extracted from your SAP ERP sources and load them into a relational database (using a predifined DWH scheme). Additionally the package provides you with universes (which rely on this predefined DWH scheme) and use the database as data sources, here your SAP ERP data were extracted to.

SAP PCM 7.0 Connectivity with SAP Business Objects

Hi All
We are trying to integrate SAP PCM 7.0 FP5 with Business Objects. The prime purpose is to fetch PCM data into Xcelsius dashboard and WebI reports via BO Universe.
We are sruggling to understand the plugins required to do this.Since other SAP documentation states that SAP BO Connectivity pack is required which is a part of SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management 7.5 Support Package 06
But , we understand that SAP BO PCM75 Support pkg06 cannot be installed on SAP PCM 7.0.
Also, Please kindly help me in understanding if SAP PCM 7.0 connectivity with BOXIR3 (without using BW NW layer) is possible or it needs to be upgraded to SAP PCM 7.5
Thanks

Hello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.
