CRS XI Rel 2 - Object Packages

Hello All,
Can the job execution order be controlled in an object package? We have a group of reports that have dependencies, so they need to run is a specific sequence. Is this possible?

you can not specify processing order on packages you can however create processing dependencies by setting up schedule events.. if you have several reports this could become a maintenance nightmare

Error: Component failed to run due to a Object Package scheduling failure

Hi,
BusinessObjects XI R2 SP 5, FP 5.1
I am trying to schedule a group of reports (crystal reports) via a package where the output destination is to an email. At the event of execution of the scheduled time for the package; the package fails with the error: Component failed to run due to a Object Package scheduling failure. (Note: When scheduled individually it is successful and it was copied to the package from its original location, so there is no mistake in parameters or ODBC connections)
When we go to the history and within the instance, we see that some of the reports have the status as success and some are failed with the same error message. Even though some of the reports are made to fail at the event of 'NO DATA'; what I do not understand is that how come some of the other reports (which contains data and which works when trying to run manually or scheduled individually) are failing.
I would understand something is wrong when the entire package fails which is not the case here as say of 50 reports, 5 are successful and the rest fails with the same error.

Sorry posted on the wrong section...

Issue in scheduling of object packages

Below is detail description of problem:
===============================================
Earlier Requirement:Need to schedule 350 copies of a report with a different parameter (Branch#) for each one of them and run them every month.
Solution we implemented: 7 Object packages with 50 reports each that run serially every month-end
[Current Problem: We need to add a column to the report, which means modifying 350 reports, which will be an effort whenever there is a need for change.
Help we need:: Is there any easy way to mass-schedule reports and maintain them easily as well using BO XI R2? We're open to third party tools etc.
==============================================
Please help me in this.
Thanks,
Swapnil Rodge.

1. How can I identify input FRS location for report file? Also since there are 350 reports, I need to identify locations of 350 reports. How can I do it?
1. (Answer):
You could use the SDK to build a spreadsheet which pulls the relevant information for the objects. Alternatively, you could use the query tool to identify the FRS location and dump the results into Excel. Use excel formula to build the copy commands for the batch file.
2. What s batch file? How can I crerate batch file to copy modified report file to 350 report files present in different 350 locations? Also it will be litile bit risky to touch input FRS folder.
2.(Answer): Yes, it is risky. Makes sure you know what you are doing before proceeding. If you don't know what a batch file is and you don't know how to query the CMS then I wouldn't advise using this method. Your best bet is to invest in a third party tool.
Also let me know if APOS Bursting Manager has free version or we need to buy it?
(Answer):
There might be a trial version. Check the website.

Adding objects to an object package

I am using DESKi XI and I am trying to add a .rep report to the CMC so I can schedule it every day in InfoView.
On page 189 of the BO Enterprise Administrator's Guide it says to open the object package in the CMC, click the New Object button and a list of object tabs will appear. It says to click on the appropriate tab, REPORT or PROGRAM.
I see icons on the left side of the window for Program, Microsoft Excel and Word, Adobe, Text, Rich Text, Power Point and hyperlink. Nothing for "Report". If I select Program or any of the other choices a browse window comes up so you can identify the location of the object. When I identify the .rep file I get an error warning that it did not expect a .rep extension, do you want to continue? I have said yes, but when scheduling the object it never runs.
There are other DESKi objects that came with this copy of our CMC, so I know you can load a .rep object...Please help...

Thank you for getting me on track...I just searched for every reference to EXPORT in that Admin guide and didn't see this anywhere in the document. I just went to the Deski Access and Analysis guide and found the instructions you referenced.
I have successfully exported the files and successfully scheduled them from InfoView. I have a follow-on problem, but I will put it in a new thread so you get credit for solving another problem if you want to...
Thank you very much!

Object Package with Email Notifications not working

I have an object package with 10 reports in it. I want Edge to send email notices to the customers when each report is ready to be viewed. But it will only send an email for the first report not any of the others. Any ideas on why the other notifications aren't being sent out?

I found out this is a known issue. The "Schedule For" option is not supported for object packages. I worked around it by setting success and failure events and then scheduling an email to be sent when one of the events occurs.

Package: EXIITS project and Objects packages are difference.

Hi Guru,
I have created a Project for exit and stored the same in one package. My doubt is wil this exit will be effect for objects in other package.
I beleieve this is not possible as packages are differenct.
Kindly correct me if my understading is wrong and also take me how to make the Exit effective for this other objects too (Object in different package.)
Many thanks
Anuj.

Did you read about the package concept? This would be quite easy to verify by yourself with a little test, so what is the problem?

Imported Objects - Package has a different Transport Layer

Hi,
We imported SAP objects into our DEV environment. All the objects are in a Package where the transport layer is ZB60 which does not exist in our DEV environment. I did a Request Consistency Check on the transport and I got the error "Only edit objects from package ZIVARA_SAP in local requests". I tried to change the transport layer to what we have in our DEV system which is Z9EV but it only created a local Workbench request.
How do I go about changing it to our DEV Transport Layer (Z9EV). The objects that we imported are NOT going to be a one time import/installation. We may be making some changes to the objects in the future and we want it to be transportable just like our own SAP objects. Your reply is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Giscard

Dear Giscard,
Try importing the objects with Transport of Copies, then you should be able to edit them in your DEV system.

Object package from object name

Say I had:
int num;
double dec;
String str;
ArrayList arr;
Object obj;
I want to take a String that is the name of an Object and return a String that is the package of the Object.
For example, if the String was "arr", the method would return "java.util.ArrayList".
I looked at the Reflection API, but I couldn't find anything that did this. How do I do this?

Objects don't have names. There's no association from an object to the names of the variables that are pointing at it, and reflection does not work on method variables.
If those are member variables, then you can use reflection to get their types.

Create object/package

Hi,
in 9i version (db 9.2.0) is it possible to recreate
1-an object by
CREATE OBJECT newobject AS myobject
or
2-a package by
CREATE PACKAGE newpackage AS mypackage ?
just like
CREATE TABLE newtable AS SELECT * from mytable
Many thanks before and happy new year.

AS keyword is acceptable only with TABLE object of CREATE clause and not for any other object.
CREATE TABLE DUP_EMP AS SELECT * FROM EMP;
its called CTAS (Create Table As Select).

Tcode to change the object package

hi,
what is the transaction code to change the object package

hi
good
Try this.
       1.      Select the required development object from the object list.
       2.      Choose Other Functions àChange Package Assignment from the context menu.
The Reassign Object dialog box appears.
       3.      Enter the name of the new package in the New Package field.
       4.      Choose Continue to confirm your entries.
If the object has not already been assigned to a change request, you must enter a change request as well.
       5.      Enter a valid change request and choose Continue.
thanks

Calling DB Objects (packages- Pl/SQL procedures) from the ADF

Hi,
1.How can we call DB Procedures/Packages using ADF ?
2. Are there some scenarios which depicts when to use which Layout? & Also any introduction to Layouts in ADF.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can expose your PL/SQL package as web services as well and use it on your layout. check this blog entry about calling PL/SQL from ADF you may find it helpful
http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/05/calling-plsql-procedure-and-function-in.html
This presentation would help to understand layouts http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2010/05/adf_faces_layouts_demo_-ahid.html

Object Package - Creation of Links to reports

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: Administration
Product: Business Objects CMC
Version: XI R2
Operating System(s): Windows XP
Database(s): Oracle 10i
Query :
Hi, I want to know is there any way ,in CMC, with which you can create a link to objects(reports) which point to actual reports and place them under multiple folders.
I have a situation. The same set of reports are to be shared within multiple folders and they have the same update/change requirements to them. So if i alter one report(master), the same should be reflected under all folders. I dont want to duplicate reports in folders.
Thanks

ripps:
This is done while you are signed into Business Objects. To "link" a report as you desire, you navigate to the original report, then click on the open box next to the report's name. Click on the drop-down arrow next to "Navigate" and choose "Add Shortcuts to New Folder...", then navigate to the folder of the dialogue box and voila, you have your link. To verify what you've just done, you can sign into the CMC and under Objects, search for your report. After you've done the link activity described above your "master" report will have the familiar "report" icon with a blue and red color, and you're other report (the linked one) will have a similiar icon but will be in white with a black border (not colorful as the original).

C# SSIS Script component - Save List String to Object package-scope variable and read it in Script Task

before posting this i was searching this on internet but was not able to find info regarding my specific case:
i have a DataFlow Task with "Error output" pointing from FlatFile to
Script Component that does below (variable "ErrorMessageList" is listed under ReadWriteVariables property):
List<string> lsErrors = new List<string>();
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
lsErrors.Add("test1");
lsErrors.Add("test2");
    void PostExecute()
        base.PostExecute();
        Variables.ErrorMessageList = lsErrors;
Then the DataFlow points to a ScriptComponent where this object variable is listed under ReadOnlyVariables property and does the below:
public void Main()
List<string> lsErrors = (List<string>)Dts.Variables["ErrorMessageList"].Value;
and that is where i get exception-has-been-thrown-by-the-target-of-an-invocation
What is wrong here?
(i have mistakenly edited this first post before, so i tried to manually put it back to original version)

i have missed the "override" keyword...
public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
public class UserComponent: ScriptComponent
namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline
public class ScriptComponent
// i should have seen this before
public virtual void PostExecute();
i believe i must have deleted the PostExecute method definition right after the ScriptComponent generated the script for me... and then when i've realized that i can't change ReadWriteVariables as a part of:
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
// --- can't change ReadWriteVariables here
then i had to add the method back but forgot that the base method is virtual
thanks for this hint, Russ!

Only edit objects from package ZPACKAGE in local requests

Hi Experts,
I was adding a secondary index to a Ztable present in a package ZPACKAGE. When I tried to save in a workbench request, I got the error message "You cannot use request XXXXXX". I then created a local change request where the target system is not mentioned in the transport request. I was able to save the index and later I mentioned the target system. When I tried to release the transport request, I get the message "Only edit objects from package ZPACKAGE in local requests". Kindly suggest what can I do save the changes in a transport request and release it.
Thanks

Check out the transport layer and target system for that transport layer. As someone suggested, talk to your basis.
This is most common when you have the actual table in temp folder but the index stored in Zpackage.
I would first check my objects package to make sure that they are in right package. If everything @ right place, then i will check the package transport layer and software component then check the 'use access' of the package. if the package is good then check the transport path and target systems for each transport later.
