Dashboard Designer *.swf Business Object connection issue

We have *.swf file generated from SAP Dashboard Designer.
It uses database to retrieve information for report.
We have placed *.swf to our web application so that users have a possibility to review reports.
Let say our web application with *.swf file is placed on 192.168.0.1 server and Business Object is placed on 192.168.0.2 server.
The problem is that we are getting an error when we are trying to connect to report via *.swf file (http://192.168.0.1/report.swf) from client machine (from any computer in Internet) because the server with the Business Object (192.168.0.2) is not exposed to Internet. However it is exposed to 192.168.0.1.
So, the question is - is it possible to connect to BO (192.168.0.2) by oppening the *.swf that is placed on http://192.168.0.1/report.swf when BO server is exposed only to 192.168.0.1? Please, advise.

Hi Danylo,
Can you provide a screenshot of the error message that you get when you try to access the dashboard?
Also let us know what data connections are defined in the dashboard.

Is there any need to create schema in unvierse designer of business objects

HI this is sridhar
is there any need to create schema in unvierse designer of business objects xi r2, when i integrated sap bi data into business objects,i,e i have fetched sap-bi/bw data to business objects universe
please help me

I don't see what is wrong with
<jsp:useBean id="tabsConfigurator" class="com.mypackage.TabLayoutConfiguratorImpl"/>
The class has a no-args constructor at least. The useBean tag will work with it. Probably.
But still, some code just can't be translated into scriptless JSTL.
Calling methods which take parameters is one of those things.
In this case you probably want to write a custom tag to work with your tabs
I would probably look at using custom tags like this:
<%@ taglib prefix="tab" uri="/WEB-INF/TabLayout.tld"%>
// tab to create the configurator.
// either export it as a var, or use other tags only nested within this one
// so you can get access to the configurator.
<tab:configure var="configurator">
<tab:render configurator="${configurator}" tab="${tab}">
</tab:configure>I don't know exactly what the scriptlet code will be doing. But I think a custom taglib would be the only way to eliminate scriptlet code that you have here.

Distributing Dashboard to Another Business Objects BI4.x Install Platform

Hello SCN Dashboarders,
I have a dashboard, based on Webi report and Web Services Connections.
How do I deploy or implement or distribute to my end customer(s)
The customer will have the same universe and Webi report. However, it will be customers own environment (Business Objects install environment/server).
I am assuming to deploy the dashboard on Customer site , I will have to do the following:
1. Create new BI Services for each of the blocks in the Webi report
2. Create new Connections in dashboard or each of the Webi report blocks, based on the Bi Services in 1 above
3. Re- Bind all the Output and Input for each connection to the Dashboard (Excel cells) - (If this is the case then it is going to be painful?)
4. Then test it and deploy the dashboard as fit for customer.
And I will have to do this for each customer ??
Any one got any experience on this ?

Use Promotion Management to migrate all the dashboards and its underlying dependencies like WEBI reports, BIWS/ QAAWS, universes and connections.
Export all the content to a BIAR file, and then import this BIAR file at your customer's end. You may refer the below article that might be helpful:

Exporting to Business Object platform - Issue

Hi,
For me suddenly the export-> Business Object Platform got disabled. I am using Xcelsius 2008. Other export options are working fine for me.
Help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Subbu S

I am facing the same issue. I already upgraded from XCelsius 4.5 WorkGroup Edtion to XCelsius 2008 but my BO Platform icon is still disabled. I remember it correctly when i build the live office model with XCelsius 4.5 it was working correctly and now i am not able to push my dashboard to the BO Platform becuase the icon is disabled.
I have noticed one thing, when you start the XCelsius 2008, the icon was still appearing and enabled but once it loaded fullly the icon gets disabled.

Replacing Business Objects - Modelling Issue

I'm working on a large 'BI' project that is replacing Business Objects with OBIEE ( actually its not really a BI project its more of a give us what we've got now using OBIEE project ) - which is proving challenging in some areas.
One example is with the Data Model that BO provides in its Universe, the model I'm replacing is pretty much 3NF (even though it uses DIM and FACT in the table names) they're joined pretty much all over the place, which enables the users to select from tables which can be 4,5,6 steps away from the original - including via M:M relationships!
Anyway one specific issue is based around the old question of multiple fact tables where not all dimensions are conformed.
Dim - Business Manager ---< Fact - Forecast >----- Dim - Product -----< Fact - Actuals >------ Dim Salesman
I've setup the Dimensions for each Dimension Logical Table.
I've created a single logical table containing a Forecast and Actual Amount from the 2 fact tables and set the logical levels appropriately at Table Level. For the Forecast measure I have a logical level set to 'Total - Salesman' and for the Actuals measure I have logical level set to 'Total - Business Manager'.
This works great when I select an Attribute from Business Manager, and Salesman and both of the measures in the Answer.
However the users want to be able to select from Business Manager, and Salesman dimensions without selecting the measures, is this possible - do I need to add a bridging table to resolve the relationships between a Business Manager and Salesman explicitly rather than implicitly via the facts?
I have set Implict Fact at the Presentation Model, however this doesn't work (it misses off Total Level aggregation in the OBI Server SQL).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/answers.

Thanks for the helpful reply Turribeach, along with the interesting and informative link.
This is my first foray into the world of BO and I think some of the points you make in the link are right on the money. I've spent many years working with Oracle Tools (Dataquery,Data Browser, Discoverer and then OBIEE when Oracle acquired the tool ). There are difficulties in the modeling with OBIEE, certainly when it comes to trying to replicate a 'fairly' complex BO universe they become apparent.
Many hoops to jump through to give the user a like for like, which I'm not convinced will be possible - maybe some negotiation is required :-)

Business Objects connectivity to Oracle

Hello all,
SID SERIAL# USERNAME SCHEMANAME OSUSER MACHINE TERMINAL PROGRAM LOGON_TIME
105 144 SYS boapp boprod WIReportServer@boprod (TNS V1-V3) 3/16/2011 6:00:57 AM

In a database that I inherited recently I noticed the above connections coming from a Business Objects server. What was wierd was that the connections were logged in as SYS. I'm pretty sure that no one in the Business objects team knows the SYS database password. I'm not sure how this could be possible...I also noticed from the above output that the schemname was null. Any ideas?
Oracle version: 10.2.0.4

BusinessObjects R2 Service Pack 6
Host: HP-UX 11.11
Thanks for your time...

Make sure no user has been granted SYSDBA privilege; check output of:
select * from v$pwfile_users where sysdba='TRUE';If this query returns a username different from SYS then this user can connect with SYSDBA privilege and his/her SYSDBA sessions will have USERNAME set to SYS.

Business Objects Licensing issue.

Hi All,
I am planning to develop a custom web application using BOE 3.1 java SDK's.
I would like to create only application level users, these users would be mapped with a single BO user account to create enterprise session.
That means, My application "A" will have say 10 users (i.e. 10 userid and passwords). All these users will their different sets of userid's and passwords (custom application users), they can login into the application using application level credentials, however to login into the enterprise the application will internally use only one BO user credential (i.e. only one named user acount info.)
eg:user1-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
user2-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
user3-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
and so on.
The idea is to purchase only one named user licence and create many application level users to login into BOE; but using the same BO user account.
Is this approach legal in-terms of licensing?
Would appreciate any help on this.
Regards,
Jon

Hello Jon,
Thank you very much.
Please see the following post:
Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 Licensing
Tim says:
names means you can have five users created, any amount logged on concurently (i.e the administrator could have 10 sessions, usera 20 etc no limit) But you can only create 5 different users names
that means 1 Named user eg: 'A' can login into the enterprise using his credentials and create any amount of enterprise sessions concurrently for self right??
Each named user is for a specific user and not to be shared. If you were using concurrent user licensing, than this would be ok to use one enterprise user account.
5 Concurrent linceses means one user account created in enterprise but, account info can be shared with 5 users, so they can login using same credentials and create five different enterprise sessions?? right?
so, I can purchase one- 5 concurrent user license and share it with 5 users? OR purchase 5 named user licences and share it with 5 users?
Either ways my understanding is number of users=number or linceses available (named or concurrent). please correct me if I am wrong.
Now, which one is cost effective named user lincenses or concurrent?
Regards,
Jon

Business Objects Installation Issue

Hi,
I installed Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 3 on my system

Is there any alternative way to add Server Intelligence Agent ?
I appreciate any help...

1)     Install the specified Microsoft security patch in accordance with the instructions in SAP Note 1375494 in BOBJ Server
2)     Download SAPHOSTAGENT711_56-20006321.SAR and uncared.
3)     The login user requires authorization to create a service. To set this specific authorization, do the following:
a.     On the Microsoft Windows host, choose Start Control Panel  Administrative Tools  Local Security Policy .
b.     In the navigation bar, choose Security Settings  Local Policies  User Rights Assignment , and then double-click the line Log on as a service.
c.     Add the login user to the list by choosing the Add User or Groupu2026 button and entering this user.
4)     SAP HOSTAGENT version 7.11 instead 7.20. Then again upgraded to 7.20 version
5)     Downloaded the attached file ewa4boe.zip in SAP Note 1393207 onto C:\EWA folder of BOBJ server and extracted. As administration user, executed the batch script enable_ewa_monitoring.bat by invoking enable_ewa_monitoring.bat
I hope this resolves

Designing the Business Model diagram issue

I need help from the experts.
We have many tables in the physical layer but for our scenario consider only Dim 1, Dim 2, Fact 1, Fact 2, Fact 3.
Fact 2, Fact 3 are the lowest granularity and relationship b/w
Fact 1 ---> Fact 2 is one-to-many
Fact 1 ---> Fact 3 is one-to-many
Dim 1 ---> Dim 2 is one-to-many
Dim 1 is linked to Fact 1
Dim 2 is linked to Fact 2
Need suggestion designing the bmm layer Star schema structure in the above scenario.
Thanks,
Tom
Edited by: user3130064 on Jun 28, 2011 10:46 AM

Thanks JV for the quick response.
This is what I did yesterday before seeing your response, let me know if this is correct.
I created single logical fact table (Log Fact 1) in the BMM layer and moved all the columns from the three physical fact tables (Fact 1, Fact 2, Fact 3) into the BMM logical fact table. We removed the relationship b/w Dim1 and Dim2 in the data model. Dim 2 is connected to Fact 2 only in the physical layer now.
Dim 2 is logical join with "Log Fact 1" in the BMM layer.
Tool did not complain with any errors or warnings, but I'm not sure if this is correct way of doing it.
Awaiting for your thoughts/inputs.
Thanks,
Tom

Business Object : Goods Issue ?

For a goods issue in an outbound delivery , I need to set up a workflow . I found a BO 'BUS2017' for goods movement ..not sure if this is the one ? It has only one event ..!! If anyone has implemented a workflow for this BO or scenario , pls let me know what/how can this be achieved ?

Karun and Rob ,
Thank you for ur valuable inputs..!!
Let me know if i m on the rt track !!
The program SAPMV50A is the one that creates events for the object LIKP via swe_event_create...So , If i extend this object to include some new events , then who takes the res to fire these events ...As SAPMV is standard program ??
I tried to find , but i see that for LIKP there is no change document object ...Is that correct??
If i go through the output type , what processing routine do I need to assign ...Do i need to create the event manually for that output type?
These quereis are from a novice..so pls bear

How Business Objects connects with Composite Studio 4.6.0

Hi,
Info on Composite:
Composite Studio is third party tool which connects to multiple data sources and executes the scripts (similiar to VIEW) to retrieve the results. One has to make call to the scripts to get the results.
more information: http://www.compositesw.com
Requirement:
Trying to connect BO XI R3.1 to composite as to call scripts to get data and then create Universe on the same.
Connectivity should be JDBC or oriented towards Java (preference for Java but not mandatory)
Tool: Composite Studio 4.6.0
Driver: composite46.dll
Driver location: C:\Program Files\Composite Software\CIS 4.6.0\apps\odbc
Regards,
Arjun Kushwaha
Edited by: Arjun_Kushwaha on Nov 12, 2009 8:43 AM

It will be great if you could let us know how to built the Universe on top of Composite, may be using ODBC connection.
I tried by creating the user / system DSN but these connections doesn't appear when tried to create the Universe in designer (using BO XI 3.1)
We can then try to build using JDBC connection.
The data source is very scattered and Composite is in the position to handle them all and hence we cannot eliminate composite and are forced to use it as one of the underlying layer to connect to actual data.

Business Object Security Issue - With the Modify Option

Hi all;
My issue is Im trying to restrict all access on Info View that are related to the Modify option for a Read Only user. When I test the user I right click and the Modify option still there.
Please help thanks.....

Basically the solution was on the Application tab... I verify the privs related to the group and I change a few things. Plus still have the Modify option when I right click. Something helpful was that I can still change the column width or the color of the text or bold the text etc, but I can not change the data, which is good. Also when you right click and select view on the report your are not able to change the width of the columns. But it work ok...
Thanks for your help and support.

Business Objects Design Studio

I am working on a report on Business Objects Design Studio,
Please help me out with the below two issues,
1. I want to display user name after Welcome message. The user name should be of the person who is logged into the SAP warehouse currently.
2. The corresponding user should only view those option, reports that he has access to.
Please suggest me the approach to work on this scenario

Thanks Tammy for the reply. I have posted the same question in my second post, that's why I used the same thread.
What I am trying to do is,
I am trying to figure out a web item equivalent to role menu (of Web Application Designer) in Business Objects Design Studio.
Currently we are using BW 3.5 role menu to display BW 7.0 web template links. As SAP will no longer support role menu web item, I have to find a similar alternative, I am trying to look for a similar authorization (role menu) in Design Studio. All this is required so that if one user has access to only 3 reports then he should get only 3 reports displayed in the index page for all reports i.e main page for accessing all reports.
Also, i would greatly appreciate if you could please provide some more inputs on Design Studio Backend authorizations .
