Guidance for Enterprise Architecture

Hi All,
I have an experience of ABAP and fucntional in SAP. I would like to shift to career in Enterprise architecture. Could Please anyone guide me to start in SOA.
Thanks In Advacne,
Kiran V.

Hi Kiran,
If you want a career change to Enterprise Architecture, why do you think that SOA is a good starting point? You definitely need to understand SOA because it 'can' be (not necessarily) a cog in the wheel or an enabler of an organisation's Enterprise Architecture.
Surely you would want to start by learning and applying a specific (or several) Enterprise Architecture Framework/s like TOGAF for example?
Get an overview of what SOA is by reading an e-book 'SOA for dummies', it's a free IBM publication as far as I can remember, Google it & download it. Once you have a high level understanding of SOA then rather start with an Enterprise Architecture Framework. You can follow the [Togaf Learning Series|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/weblogs/topic/38] of blogs by Gourav Khare as a start.
Another excellent guide is the [SOA Source Book from the Open Group|http://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-book/]

  • Looking for what software required for Enterprise Manager Installation

    Hi All,
      I am fairly new in working with Enterprise Manager, Previously used 11g Database Control, but never install Enterprise Manager (OEM). Now due to the increase in databases, I am considering to install OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) to list all database (from over 20 Linux severs) to one location.
    I have read documentation and still confused on what should be installed for OEM. I am planning to use OEM 12c Release (12.1.0.4), my current databases are 11gR2 (11.2.0.4 ).
    Could you tell what I need from below list?
    OEM (12.1.0.4)
    Web Logic server (Do I need that separately, or will this be installed with OEM?)
    OEM Agent on all other 20 servers (do I need to install separate software on them? Please guide)
    Any specific version of Java.
    Please guide me if I need any other software or plugin.
    I have already installed oracle software and have created a database by using “Custom” option in DBCA. My server OS is Linux 64 Bit for Enterprise Manager.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    You would need 12c OEM cloud control software , Database software(For creating repository) and agent software (For monitoring targets on other hosts)
    Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6.0.43.0 and Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) are installed by default with the 12c OMS installation although you do have a option of installing it separately if you want but Oracle strongly recommends using the 12c installation process to install the JDK and Oracle WebLogic Server for use with Enterprise Manager 12c.
    Below is the link for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Architecture
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e25353/overview.htm#EMCON112

  • Can you use Crystal Reports for Enterprise to connect to BOE4 over the web?

    Hello,
    When I use Crystal Reports for Enterprise in BI Launchpad when I am connected on the LAN network it works.
    If I connect via the internet, it doesn't.
    I wanted to know if Crystal Reports for Enterprise only works if you are connected to Business Enterprise 4.0 on a LAN network and if it's not designed to work remotely, aka via the internet connection, like you can with Webi?
    regards
    Janetta

    Hello,
    We installed BOE4 on the server, it runs perfectly, no issues.
    Install Crystal Reports for Enterprise on a laptop. It's the latest one as I checked to see if there's any later versions or patches.
    I am able to log into the BOE Enterprise system as administrator.
    Namely I have setup the Server connections per the following:
    Server Name:   <IP address>
    The check box for SSL is unchecked.
    Server Port Number:   nnnn
    Server Context:  /dswsbobje
    System display name:   <my server> External Connection
    User Name : Administrator
    It connects successfully.
    I then go and create a report against a Universe that I can see listed on my BOE 4 server.
    It then comes up with this error message:
    "Unable to Logon: There is a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
    Please check your logon credentials and make sure your nework is properly configured before trying again.
    If problems persist please contact your Administrator."
    Architecture: 
    BOE 4 sits on Windows 2008 Server SP2
    Laptops tried it on are Windows Vista and Windows 2003 Std.
    Thanks for looking into this for me.

  • CR for Enterprise 4.0: Unable to retrieve the datasource configuration

    Hello Experts, I have the following issue with CR for Enterprise: I can successfully connect to our BI server, but when I select a universe I would like to build a report on, I receive the following error message about the validity of my data source: "Unable to retrieve the datasource configuration: com.crystaldecisions.thirdparty.org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN minor code: 0x0 completed: No". The universe I am trying to connect to is based on a relational connection and was built using the IDT 4.0 SP 1.
    Thanks a lot for any guidance on how this could be resolved.
    Sergey

    Hi Surgey,
    Well that is very strange! Is Crystal Reports for Enterprise installed on the server machine or on the local workstation?
    If we are using Crystal Reports for Enterprise which is installed on a sperate workstation, try installing it on the server machine and then try to connect to universe.

  • Establishing BPM, SOA and Enterprise Architecture and 'Governance'

    Good day all,
    (Originally posted on LinkedIn Oracle BPM group)
    (This post can also apply to those implementing SOA and/or Enterprise Architecture)
    After reviewing Oracle's IT Strategies from Oracle (ITSO) reference library (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/entarch/itso-165161.html) there does not seem to be anything specifically created (yet) targeting a BPM Governance Framework.
    It is mentioned in a document in the above mentioned library, titled "Business Process Engineering", document ID E20216-03, file name of, oracle-pg-bpm-bus-proc-eng-r3-0-292099, page 5-2, 3rd paragraph, and I quote, " (see A Framework for BPM Governance for more information). Yet there is no link or section to or for said reference nor anything else within that document. Disappointing.
    The closest and so far best approach I feel is a PDF file titled, ONE 2010-ART-BPM Governance Framework-VKhusidman-v51, authored by Vitaly Khusidman, titled "BPM Governance Framework", BPTrends ▪ July 2010
    In this above document Dr. Khusidman recommends utilizing TOGAF as a framework for establishing the BPM Governance Framework. This also seems like a sound approach for those addressing the Enterprise Architecture (and governance which is a part of that larger 'whole') as well as SOA and BPM, especially those moving to a combination of SOA and BPM.
    What are the thoughts and approaches being used by others, who may also be using some of Oracle's products and tools, and tasked with addressing the whole enterprise and/or SOA-BPM combined?
    Cheers

    Or that phase of product life cycle..
    It seems as if academics are taking an increasing interests in SDN for gathering data. Possibly a knock-on of the University Alliances.
    IMO this one is legitimate.

    Hi Mike,
    I just saw your post. Sorry for the confusing behavior. This is not something that we've seen occur or had reported in the past - very strange.
    My initial thought is that it may have something to do with the "Reply by email" functionality of discussions on Community Groups and the format of you title "Reminder: <original title>" However, I see that you also made some changes to the title beyond adding "Reminder:", so I'm not sure that theory holds up.
    Either way, we'll need to dig into this a bit further to figure out the source of the issue and correct it moving forwards. Thanks for reporting this and please let me know if you see unusual behavior along these lines again.
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat XI Pro Install via CCP Packager for Enterprise unuseable - tips for the unitiated

    Well, after at least six weeks of trying to script and package Acrobat XI via the CCP packager for enterprise (Windows 7 X64) I have learnt many home truths which I thought I would share with the unitiated. This process, from the point of view of an IT admin who has to mass deploy this application to 680 PC's as part of an updated SOE has been the most painful scripting process I have ever found of any package (we successfully deploy Office, and Autodesk apps!). Not only that, but our entire State technical colleges have all purchased the same version. This will be affecting IT staff across a huge area, perhaps worldwide. Below are some some facts relating to this that I will share so others do not have to trawl the minefiled of dead-ends and confusion that is Adobe forums/official documentation. Apologies for not finding direct links to all of the below just yet but I've run out of time as we now have MANUALLY install Acrobat XI on all of these machines. When I get time I will post some of the links:
    Facts:
    Acrobat XI and Lightroom are NOT "CC" packages. Therefore they rely on a spearate serial numbers to install standalone without another major Adobe product (eg Photoshop) to be installed and then run first. Otherwise they will run in trial mode. If your organistaion is wanting to install these products I highly recommend seeing if Adobe can provide you with these.
    Without the use of serial number for Acrobat XI this almost renders the Customisation Wizard effectively useless, none of the silent install switch will work with "Offline Exception"
    Yes, one Adobe employee notes that you must install a major package before Acrobat but as the aoplogies for not fixing this were posted last August, we are still in the quandry of not having any useable fix except for the ridiculous "Exceptions" file and Exceptions installer.
    If you run the Build and/or execeptions msi's it installs Acrobat twice, gold Adobe, gold.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6039529#6039529 - look at this for a working script for Photoshop etc, it's great.Thanks to http://forums.adobe.com/people/PetriRiihikallio for posting this. However, alas, it cannot silently install Acrobat correctly (thus far).
    It appears that the msi builder for CCP for enterprise is fatally flawed. I have never had as much problem with installing msi's -  ever. For example, I have had to re-package the msi multiples times and many times simply running the msi will fail.
    The idea that all major installs have to install the 32 bit version AND the 64 bit version is riduclous, enough said.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2013/02/acrobat-xi-deployment-guide-for-large-firms/ this guide may be useful for people who have been given a separate serial number.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html another useful link
    I think for the time being I have now wasted enough time trying to tear my hair out with this. I will be waiting for Adobe to announce Acrobat and Lightroom CC. this will enable the correct deployment of a single app without having the bloat my SOE with unnecessary applications that most staff rarely use. Ahhh, I love a good manual install via VNC/RDP, don't you?

    Hi Waltpenner and others, yes it can be very confusing and writing script after script got me even more confused.
    Now, the story continues, after 6+ hours on the phone with Adobe Support...
    When you install Adobe Acrobat XI it asks you to install the C++ Redistributable package and this is where the msi will STOP INSTALLING. even though the MSI says "complete"
    Now you think to yourself, OK, I'll write a script to install this msi package no problems, solved.
    Nope, the msi for Acrobat Pro XI will Still Halt even if you write this into the script along with halt no err or something similar in your code.
    So what do you do?
    When you create your msi in Cloud Packager, even though this feels completely against your better judgement tick the box under conflicting Process entitled "Ignore Conflicts and Continue installations" This will (finally) allow you to run the msi. Please see the wonderful deployment script above, which you may still need to edit to your needs (I did) - which I post once it's working perfectly.
    You could then install the C++ redist from Microsoft at a later date ----> On that note however (thanks Microsoft for this gem) the Visual C++ redist is an msi for download, but it's actually a zip file calling an exe inside it. I suggest using the App Deploy Repackager  to help you change registry entries if you need to install this, but choose your favourite tool (and no I'm not talking about that work colleague you don't like
    Note: You will need to install this for certain features of Acro Pro XI to function, most of which relates to sever functions of Acrobat. I will post the exact reasons when I find them. Under pressure to get this deployed, I have not deployed this pckage as yet. Also, I'm unsure how Visual C++ will affect other major apps across my enterprise just yet.
    Things to still consider
    Acrobat still installs twice in the program directory (1.7GB nd 1.8GB respectively)
    As all of the other CC packages are quite easy to install, Adobe needs to provide better service to it's enterprise customers by creating a proper version of Acrobat and Lightroom which is Acrobat CC and Lightroom CC, not version numbers tacked onto their new Cloud Service.
    As for the above point I would still recommend creating the smallest msi packages you can, as large msi's that install a number of Apps (eg all of the web/image editing apps) take forever and quite often exhibit install errors
    The amount of time I've spent on this is ridiculous, and we've had to package everything from Office to Autocad.
    The amount of bandwidth I've chewed up is excessive, with package re-creation (download) of all the products probably about 100GB - however the ability to edit these packages with updates with the CCP is a good step forward.
    Using the CCP through a proxy is horrendous, and complicated with the amount of exception through the servers you have to prvide (even then it rarely works).
    The MSI packager still needs quite alot of work. As Petri states why he had to write a script like this when Adobe could have done the same thing is beyond him.
    Adobe needs to trawl it's forum posts and take out the many false leads and dead ends provided by it's experts.
    When I Think of anything else, or wite more scipts I'll let you all know.
    Cheers,

  • I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer.  Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

    I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system.  I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s.  I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2.  When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer.  Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications?  I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email.  What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

    I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
    I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
    As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

    Venkat,
    Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
    The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 >  Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
    When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

  • Publishing Crystal Reports for Enterprise error

    When I try to publish a Crystal Reports for Enterprise report, using Publication options, in order to send it by email to three of my users,  it shows the following error:
    2014-07-03 10:20:32,390 ERROR [PublishingService:HandlerPool-1] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminErrorLog_Instance_16070 - [Publication ID # 16070] - Scheduling document job "Users - with Logon Events" (ID: 16,077) failed: Exception in formula '{@Record_Selection}' at 'and (

    The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula. (CRS 300003) (FBE60502)
    [3 recipients processed.]
    It is weird because the report is one of those that are by default used for Auditing and it runs perfectly when I run it manually or by Schedule. The problem is when I include it in a Publication, so it can be filtered automatically based on the list of users.
    I tried with another of those reports that come with Auditing, and it has the same problem. Is it a bug? Are you able to replicate this error in your environment? I'm using Crystal Reports 2013 sp3.

    Hi Abhilash,
    I am able to open and edit other reports on the server without problem.  I believe that they are the same version and pack.  Here are my versions:
    CR for Enterprise Version 14.1.3.1257, Build 2013 Support Pack 3.
    SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 3, Version 14.1.3.1257
    When CRE displays an error like this, is there further information in a log or recorded anywhere else?  How does one go about finding details?

    Hi Alston
    Since you have CR for Enterprise then you also have BI and thus most likely you also have an S user ID. You can use the S user ID to create a phone incident at it is part of your Enterprise Support Package. Just saying as this may be the most efficient way of proceeding at this time(?). But please don't take as me trying to push you off of SCN .

  • CRYSTAL REPORT FOR ENTERPRISE ON ECC

    Hi Everyone,
    I have been trying to connect Crystal Report for Enterprise over ECC via universe as we don't have option
    to connect CR4E directly to ECC.
    So, I have made a universe in IDT and published it in repository.
    Now, when I am using that universe in WebI Report and DashBoard then it is working fine but the same is throwing
    the error while I am trying to connect with CR4E 'Failed to execute query: 'Fail to create an instance of Job : com/businessobjects/i18n/locale/BoLocale'.
    The same error 'Fail to create an instance of Job : com/businessobjects/i18n/locale/BoLocale' was also coming when we try to save the IDT  with Secure Connections is set to Server Middleware(Window -> Preferences->Information Design Tool ->Secured Connections ->Server Middleware).
    Regards,
    Raghwendra

  • Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1: Error while saving report to BI platform "There was an unexpected error saving your report to the server. Please try again or contact your administrator if the problem persists."

    Hi All,
    I am able to create a report in Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 on top of an OLAP connection (data source BEx query). However, when I am trying to save this report to BI platform, I am running into the following error:
    The error was not resolved even after applying the following SAP KBA notes:
    1676033
    1709390
    1922003
    1727813
    Below is the excerpt in the error log (on the path mentioned in SAP NOTE: 1709390),
    However, could not make much sense out of it, as to how can the issue be resolved. If anyone has useful insights on this issue, please share the same with me.
    Regards,
    Alston
