DUET Enterprise vs BO BI Integration Option for Microsoft Sharepoint

I am struggling to find the right management overview to position DUET Enterprise vs BO BI Integration for Microsoft Sharepoint.
My high level definition of DUET Enterprise is to expose SAP Data and Processes into the Microsoft Sharepoint Environment (especially for non professional user = casual user).
Obviously these casual users need to see, to retrieve or to refresh some BW reports (knowing we are using or will use BO BI 4.0).
It seems DUET Enterprise does not support this scenario .... and we need to use another solution called : BO BI Integration Option for Sharepoint (detailed doc [here|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/400sp2_ioms_getstarted_en.pdf]).
I am confused (I can not picture it) why we need 2 different products (medium - long term).
Could you somebody explain :
1. to confirm we need currently these 2 products
2. why we will need 2 different products in the future ?
Thanks.

Hi Patrick,
I was also trying to find some information this topic for the last few days when I came across your thread. There has been a similar discussion earlier in [this SDN thread|Duet Enterprise vs BO Integration Option for Microsoft Sharepoint u2013 IOMS;.
After seeing the capabilities of IOMS, I can say these two products are very different. IOMS has different web parts to render BO/BW dashboards, reports ect. whereas Duet Enterprise is an integration platform for connecting various SAP systems (of type ABAP now), using which we can view/operate on any SAP object, integrate workflow and fetch SAP reports as document.
Duet Enterprise provides SSO and role based access to SAP data which seems to be missing in IOMS.
At this point it seems both these products have different capabilities with similarities in report publishing (Duet Enterprise can only publish reports from BI and other ABAP based system directly to SharePoint document library; not sure what IOMS does in this area).
I guess at this point if your requiremtn is to only provide a SharePoint based frontend to Bo/BI IOMS has to be used, however if you need to build applications with SAP data or around SAP processes Duet Enterprise has to be used.

Integration Option for SharePoint 2007 and Edge?

Does this support Edge 3.1? I know that in the official documentation for the Sharepoint 2007 PIK it never said Edge was supported, but I see posts indicating people have gotten it to work with Java InfoView.
However, is Edge 3.1 supported for the larger Integration Option for SP2007? Also, I assume it would be only for Java InfoView since Edge utilizes a WACS vs. standard .NET SDK.
Please advise.
Edited by: Jay Riddle on Oct 6, 2009 12:14 AM

The newest release of the sharepoint kit called internally (ipoint) should work fine with java infoview. I haven't set this up my self and you may need to open an incident with support to verify if Edge supports the newest sharepoint kit.

Why my Jabber 9.2.3 Sign in like Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync?

After I uninstall Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync 8.6 from my computer and reinstall Cisco Jabber 9.2(3), I found my Jabber got the same interface of sign in with Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync. it let me input the TFTP,CTI,CCMCIP server adress, instead of choosing the presence server and inputing the presence server address and domain.
after I sign in, it is aslo like Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync, there is not the side button of contacts list, I can only search the person to call and can not send message or chat any more.
I tried many times to uninstall and reinstall Jabber,i failed, except I install Jabber 9.1(3), it works well. but I try to reinstall 9.2(3) again, it goes back like Cisco UC Integration(TM) for Microsoft Lync,why?
Thx.

Hi,
You probably had CUCILync 9.2 installed previosly, and since CUCILync 9.2 is based on Jabber phone mode, the interfaces are the same. (You have Jabber phone mode nterface now)
These settings are written in jabber-boostrap.properties file and Jabber reads them from here.
That file is stored here:
C:\ProgramData\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber
If you delete thise file, interface should change.
If you want to install Jabber and avoid such things, do this with option clear=1
- msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi CLEAR=1 ...

Oracle EBS / MS Outlook Integration Options for Workflow Approvals

My organization is using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 and is currently in the process of upgrading to R12.
I've recently been asked to investigate and provide options for stream-lining users' ability to respond to workflow notifications from within Oracle Applications, removing the need for users to have to log into Oracle or send an e-mail response to the workflow notification mailer.
Is anyone aware of any out-of-box mechanisms or 3rd party bolt-on solutions that would achieve this?
For example, rather than a receiving a workflow notification e-mail asking an approver to log into Oracle to approve a purchase order, time card, recruitment request, or expense report, my business users would like to be able to approve or reject the approval directly from within MS Outlook.
One option would be to utilize the inbound workflow e-mail processing (e.g. for the user to send a reply e-mail response back to workflow notification mailer), but I'd like to know if there are any other options - such as an add-in within MS Outlook that would prevent the business user from having to send an e-mail response message.
Greatly appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
~Jeremy

The note id's provided above are very helpful for understanding how to control the two out-of-box mechanisms for responding to approval notifications
Option 1: Users click on the "Please click here to respond" hyperlink in the e-mail, log into Oracle Apps, and respond to the notification
Option 2: Users click on the "Accept" or "Reject" hyperlinks provided in the workflow e-mail notification, which creates an response e-mail notification containing the notification_id and response (e.g. accept or reject). The response gets processed by the workflow notification mailer.
My organization currently uses both both options (option 1 for some approval workflows, option 2 for others), and I'm familiar with how to toggle a particular workflow approval notification between these two options.
However, my organization wishes to pursue another option that would involve creating a composite application or enterprise application mash-up, accessible within MS Outlook, that would allow an Oracle apps user to see his or her list of open notifications (within Outlook) and respond to the notifications from either Outlook or our corporate intranet web site. We recently implemented an Identity Access Management solution and have a good link established between each LAN (MS Exchange) user account and his or her Oracle Apps user account.
To my knowledge, there is not out-of-box way to do this and it would require implementing a third-party bolt-on if one exists that would meet this need. Maybe one option would be to create a simple ADF application that would find open notifications in Oracle for the current user and wrap the seeded API's used to respond to the notification.
Please let me know if anyone else has any feedback or prior experience addressing a similar business need.

Page Design Options for Microsoft HTML Help Output?

Hello, I am new to RoboHelp. I am almost done designing my first RoboHelp project (which has an MS HTML Help output). I see from my documentation that skins can only be applied to Webhelp or Flashhelp. However, i would like my help output to have a custom look. Is there a tool or method I can use to customize the look of my MS HTML Help?

I'm tempted to say "Yes. Use WebHelp" but there is also AirHelp to consider. You may want to check out this link.

What do I need to install Integration Kit for SharePoint Server 2007

What do I need to install the Integration Kit for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007? It gives me an SP3 needed error but does not tell me what SP3. Has any one sucessfully installed this kit? Please help.

Hi,
The sharepoint PIK is available for BO enterprise only. SP3 is refering to BO enterprise XIR2 SP3. This Service Pack is not available for CR 2008. In order to integrate CR 2008 in BO enterprise XIR3 you need to install SP0 on top of CR 2008. But as I said above without BO enterprise you won't be able to use the PIK.
I copied the following system requirements from our Install Guide for BOE XiR3 PIK:
System requirements
For a list of system requirements, consult the Platforms.txt file included
with your product distribution. For additional important information that may
pertain to your deployment, it is also strongly recommended that you consult
the Release Notes included with your product distribution.
In general, the following components must be installed and configured
correctly before you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Portal
Integration Kit:
u2022 Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Office SharePoint Portal
Server 2003.
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI .NET SDK (on your SharePoint machine
or machines).
u2022 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (any edition).
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise and Crystal Reports (on either the same
machine and/or on a different machine).

Requirement Specification for a SharePoint Project

I need to learn about developing in SharePoint and do you guys have a requirement specification that I can use it to create a customized SP solution?
It is difficult to be creative in order to create a requirement specification for a home made SP project. The purpose is to improve my skills in SharePoint development.

Hi
Sakura Data ,
SharePoint 2013 will support this classic model well-known to all SharePoint developers. SharePoint Solutions are still considered a good option, and in some cases the only option, for customizing SharePoint.
SharePoint Solutions can be developed using Visual Studio 2012, which includes a number of supported templates. They can integrate with external applications using Business Connectivity Services (BCS), Web
Services, or a custom Service Application. There are two types of SharePoint Solutions: Farm Solutions and Sandboxed Solutions.
For developing SharePoint Solutions, you can refer to the article:

"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi,
In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
Database Cache" option for our application.
Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
above-mentioned approach:
1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
Database Cache" can be used)
2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
#CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
"For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
running? Please assist.
Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
regarding your questions:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
==> Seperate Installation
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
This explains the differences.
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
==> Please see above mentioned papers
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
==> Again ... ;-)
Kind regards
Mike

Can I Install without BO Enterprise a BO Integration Kit for SAP -Server

Helo Experts,
I want to Install a Business Objects Integration Kit 3.0 for SAP on our Server. Is a Business Objects Enterprise needed for this installation ?????
Thanks
C

Hi, Caner.
When you are installing Integration Kit you have 3 options: Desktop, Server, Custom.
Of course your choice depends on your requirements.
1. Desktop. If you plan to work with BW-source locally in Crystal or in WebI Rich Client this option for you. You donnt need to install BOE, it is working with client tools.
2. Server. This variant is suitable for work with BOE. If you plan to share your reports that based on BW-sources via BOE you MUST to install this on your BOE.
3. Custom. For "power"-users. If you choose this point by default it works like Desktop options, but it doesnt ask you to install Crystal reports. Usually I work with this kind installation.
Regards.

Jabber For Windows - Calender Integration Option on deployment

We're about to roll out Jabber for Windows to several hundred clients, and have an issue with the Outlook Integration option setting. Our users are migrating from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook and once migrated to Outlook, will get Jabber for Windows. The problem we have is when installing Jabber for Windows, in many cases it takes IBM Lotus Notes as the default calendar integration, instead of Microsoft Outlook. (Notes is left on users pc as they still need to use Notes to access some backend databases)
We will have to issue intructions to users to go in to File>Otions>Integration and make sure Microsoft Outlook is selected, but past experience tells us they won't actually read them!
Does anyone know any way of setting on option on deployment to ensure Microsoft Outlook is selected ?
Thanks
Kelvin

Hi David,
there is an known issue where default MAPI file can't be opened on some PCs. To confirm this - we would need PRT from computer where issue can be reproduced.
If you still have same problem then create a problem report (Start menu > Cisco Jabber > Cisco Jabber Problem Report) and attach with this thread. If you are not comfortable to attach report here, then raise a TAC case for further assistance.

SharePoint 2013 and SAP connectivity / SAP Gateway for Microsoft and Duet Enterprise 2.0

Hello,
we are investigating the connection possibilities of SharePoint 2013 with SAP.
The basic scenario in our cases involves the transfer of documents and/or metadata from SharePoint to SAP possibly through a Workflow in SharePoint.
From my research the most promising official (no 3d-party) interfaces that can be used are the Duet Enterprise 2.0 and the SAP Gateway for Microsoft.
From my understanding both interfaces allow only the consumption of Data from SAP to SharePoint and not vice versa. Moreover the interoperability of documents seems not be supported. Are CRUD operations from a SharePoint native lists to SAP supported?
Can someone please clarify this topics?
I have found lots of documentation concerning the interfaces but not a clear answer to this questions.
Many thanks in advance!
Ioannis

Hi Ioannis,
It seems that there is no built in method to get data from SharePoint list in SAP.
As a workaround, we can export SharePoint list to excel and then use that spread sheet as a source data in SAP.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3467263
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3472110
As this issue is regarding to SAP, I recommend you to ask the question in the SAP:

More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SAP.
Thanks,
