Headings and commands duplicated in Business Objects XIR2

Post Author: Jon Webb
CA Forum: .NET
My headings and commands keep getting duplicated in Business Object XIR2 for Visual Studio 2005. It's hard to take a picture because screen capture closes the menu, but right now I have two "Crystal Reports" menus listed in the Visual Studio 2005 main menu. Each of these menus has four insert items, with similar duplication for the other items, and the inset menus have similar duplicates. I think all this duplication is eating up memory in Visual Studio because I keep getting out of memory messages even though I have a lot of RAM and a large page file. Any idea what is going on here? How can I reset the menus back to their original state without manually editing them?

Are there any other options? Did that process fix the issue? I hate to go through all of that to have the same problem. It seems like there should be an easier/faster way. Thanks,Andrew

Scheduling Options(CMC)/ Business Objects Xir2

Environment spec:
Aix 5.3
Business Objects Xir2
Crystal reports Xi
DB2
Tomcat
Whilst scheduling a report from the CMC, there is a 'Schedule For' tab
I am trying to determine how this option works, whilst scheduling for a selected group/users.
I have reviewed the relevant documentation in the Business Objects Administrators guides in reference to this including Xi, XiR2 and XiR3/3.1.
There is no clear definition.
I asked this question, as we are trying to determine if whilst using this option does BO execute the query and then filter data according to each group/user OR execute the query for each specific user/group. If the latter is the case then this will have a big impact on our environment resources.
unfortunately we have reach EOL for Business Objects XiR2 so tech support will no longer advise us.
If anyone can provide us with any insight or direction this will be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

HI,
Option u2018Schedule foru2019 is generally used when you want schedule the reports on behalf of other users such that when underlying queries hit the database, they use the useru2019s id and pull the data based on his authorization over the data.
With SAP BW as backend, the impact can easily be seen where a report will show different dataset if run for two different sap user who different data access. Same should be the case with other databases as well.
Thanks,

We have to upgrade IE9 to IE11 (Internet Explorer ) for Business Objects XIR2 environment

Hi Experts,
We are currently using Business Objects XIR2 Infoview link in Internet Explorer 9 version. Now my client wants to upgrade IE9 to IE11.
Is it compatibility to Business Objects XIR2
Please let me know if we have any issue for upgrade to IE11 .
Thanks,
Veera

XIR2 is not compatible with IE11 at all. You're user will see all sorts of possible issues. Or no issues at all.
XIR2 is no longer supported by SAP (several years now) so no testing or patching been done to make XIR2 compatible.

Brand New Installation of Business Objects XIr2 Application Server

Hello,
We have recently acquired Business Objects XI r2 as we are in the process of migrating from Business Objects 6.5.1
We currently use BO 6.5.1 on a small scale using Business Query via excel to access a remote Data Warehouse. I beleive we will now use Live Office in the new XI world.
We have acquired licenses for the following components, and I really would like some assistance on how to install them and in which order
Business Objects Enterprise Professional
Business Objects Live Office
Business Objects Web Intelligence
I have a windows 2003 server in place to host the application, but where do I start ? Which component do I need to install first ?
Many thanks

Hmm, this is Redhat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 - it's basically a 'snapshot' of our existing dev system.
One thing I have seen elsewhere is a problem with the libstdc++ compatability library, but it looks like that's installed (we tried tossing in a copy we had from CentOS, and got:
[root@bos-rep-bob01 ~]# rpm -ivh ./compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm
warning: ./compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821

So it's installed, and pretty up to date.

Applet Java_Report_Panel Notinited Error in Business Objects XIR2 Webi

Hi,
I am facing a error Applet Java_Report_Panel Notinited when I want to create or edit a Web Intelligence report.
The Current version of BO is XIR2.
The version of Java installed on my machine is 1.6.0.
Whenever, I try to create or modify a new report through Infoview, I get a blank Page and at the bottom of the Infoview, it displays
Java Report Panel Notinited.
This was working fine till yesterday. There were no changes or updates done on the machine.
Just for reference, the reports work fine, when I use the other panels such as the Query-HTML and HTML Report Panel.
I had enabled all the required options in the Internet Explorer. but still, I face the Issue.
Let me know what has to be done in resolving the same.

bouser39:

Are you absolutely sure about no changes applied? I.e. you solely are the administrator, and you have sole access to this server in regards to administration, loading patches, or other configurations? The "no init" I ran into a couple of years back and the cause was our web admin wanted to make a shorter URL appear in the address bar (something like ACME.com/BO) versus ACME.com/businessobjects/enterprise115/infoview, so he built a "virtual" web folder and had it say "BO". Well, everything worked fine in Infoview, logging in, running reports, etc, etc, however, after loading a particular service pack, and then when we went to build a new web intelligence document the whole house of cards came toppling down. Long story short, we had to forego the "BO" short name and revert back to the long URL, as ugly as it appeared, the previous method of "BO" was not longer applicable with the new "java bridge" that Business Objects had implemented with their new service pack. So, perhaps someone tried to make things more efficient for you, but in the long run actually broke a few things along the way....
Thanks,

Service Packs and Fix Packs for Business Objects XI Release 2

Hi,
How can I know wich services pack or fix packs are installed on my server? I have installed Business Objects XI Release 2, and Xcelsius 2008 Release 2, and Live Office.
Do you know where can I download a spreedsheet that contains informatiion about the fix packs or service packs and the issues that solved??
Thanks
Lilia

Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

Loading documents and attaching them to business objects

Hi,
I am trying to load documents (Word and PDF files) into a content management server linked to a SAP CRM system. The documents need to be attached to business objects such as interaction records (BUS2000126) and service tickets (BUS2000116).
I have experimented with FMs BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF and ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT but haven't yet found the right combination of values. The best I have done is to create a link which is visible in the GUI as an icon, but when I double click on it, I get an error message saying that the document does not exist (error 404).
The import parameters I am using in BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF are:
LOGICAL_SYSTEM = [blank]
CLASSNAME = ZCSIP_LTR (a value from table TOADV)
CLASSTYPE = BO
CLIENT = [default]
OBJECT_KEY = [blank]
FILES
DOC_COUNT = 00000001
COMP_COUNT = 00000001
COMP_ID = [blank]
DIRECTORY = U:\DOCUMENTS\TEST DATA\
FILENAME = FA.PDF
MIMETYPE = application/pdf
SIGNATURE
DOC_COUNT = 00000001
PROP_NAME = BDS_CONTREP
PROP_VALUE = ZT (my content repository name)
The FM returns a GUID as the OBJECT_KEY ...
Then I am using ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT as follows:
ARCHIV_ID = ZT
ARC_DOC_ID = [GUID returned by BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF]
AR_OBJECT = ZCSIP_LTR (a value from table TOADV - as above)
MANDANT = [default client as above]
OBJECT_ID = [GUID of the object I want to attach the document to]
SAP_OBJECT = [Business object identifier] e.g. BUS2000126
DOC_TYPE = PDF
Can what I need to do be achieved through just using BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF? What import parameters should I use? What values should they contain?
Many thanks in advance,
Peter

Business Objects XIR2 Infoview login issue

Hello -
I have a typical issue with BO Infoview login screen where the system name is showing incorrectly. The value should be coming from the configuration from web.xml file but it shows a totally different name with no option to update it. I checked the windows registry and system valiarbles but I haven't found anywhere on the system. Any ideas where this value is coming from ? Thanks.

Thanks Denis. I see that the login issue has been resolved, but I noticed a different error when I login and logout from CMC. Here's the error message... not sure if this is connected to the previous one.

Signaling start and stop of a Business Objects report execution

Hi we are facing the following issues on Business Objects:
When starting a report we would like to signal to the backend database that the report has stared.
When finishing a report we would like to signal to the backend database that the report execution has ended.
Any idears on how this can be hooked into the reports?
Best regards
Jacob Mossin Andersen

What type of report, and what type of signal? Are you scheduling or on-demand viewing?
Need more info.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Monitoring and Alerting tools for Business Object Data Integrator

Hi,
We have Business Objects DI installed in AIX 5.3 environment. Please advise any type of monitoring and alerting tools for DI.
Monitor tools to monitor Job servers(like job service and web services running properly) and also to monitor long running extraction jobs and alerting the same. Thanks.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Thomas
Though both the tools objectives are for Data integration, the purpose for both tools are different.
SAP BODS/ BOBJ Data Integrator is an ETL tool which involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of the data
SAP PI is a Middleware/EAI tool which have a mechanism/technology that connects different parts of an application or a series of applications
SAP BOBJ Data Integrator
Bulk Data Integration
Extraction Transformation and Loading
Deals of huge volume of data
SAP PI
It is process based integration of application data
It is a middle ware which integrates various project applications into a common programming package that can be operate/access as a single application
SAP NetWeaver PI is SAP’s implementation of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware and facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies.
SAP PI uses SAP NetWeaver Application Server and message servers where in fail over cases the messages can be resent again.
The below differences will gives you more clarity
Verdict is we can use both the tools for data transfer/migration and for choosing the tool depends upon the business requirement
Please reply back if you need more information.

Business Objects, Value Objects and more

Hey,
I've got a general question about business objects (aka entity objects or data transfer objects). The scenario I am using is not one of my own, but it might be a future one. Thus, I'd really appreciate all feedback.
Let's say that i've got a desktop application which purpose is to manage personal DVD collections. Shortly explained, what i would do here is to create a class Dvd to represent a physical DVD. Then i would create the classes DvdServices and DvdDao. The DvdServices class is what my application will use to retrive and store Dvd instances, and takes care of all session and transaction handling. The DvdDao class is where all database communication takes place. This class will only be used by the DvdServices class.
Now, say that i would want to keep things simple and use the same business object both in the front end and the back end (yes, i'm using Hibernate). That is, the Dvd instances returned by the DvdServices class is the ones i also would like to use in my GUI. This is where i start to get a little uncertain about best practice.
Let us say that i use an instance of a Dvd to present some information about a dvd to the user. However, the user would not only like to see what's already stored about that dvd - but also edit some details related to it (such as the title, description or the like). What i would do here (to support editing), is to modify the Dvd class so that it holds a DvdAttributes object which contains all its editable values like title and description (in other words, the state - except for the id and a timestamp value). Thus, i also modify the DvdServices class and create a method called updateDvd(Dvd dvd, DvdAttributes attributes). The method updateDvd() in the DvdServices class, internally, makes a reference to the existing DvdAttributes, applies the new DvdAttributes to the Dvd instance, and tries to save it. If something goes wrong, transaction is rolled back, and the old DvdAttributes are applied to the Dvd class in order to reflect the state of the Dvd instance.I like to think of the Dvd instance as the business object, and the DvdAttributes instance as a related value object (the terminology is probably all wrong here?).
My question regarding all this is wether it "adheres" to what one might consider as "best practices" (if something like that exists in relation to this)? Could i do things smarter in this case? Is there something which does not make sense (always good to hear a second opinion!).
All feedback appreciated!

I don't believe a DTO would ever be considered a business object.

That is, the Dvd instances returned by the DvdServices class is the ones i also would like to use in my GUI. This is where i start to get a little uncertain about best practice.
It appears that 'Dvd' is in fact a DTO. Probably best to name it as such - DvdDto.
Let us say that i use an instance of a Dvd to present some information about a dvd to the user. However, the user would not only like to see what's already stored about that dvd - but also edit some details related to it (such as the title, description or the like).

As stated no.
Process flow would normally be like this.
Happy path (it worked)
1. Query - returns DvdDto
2. GUI - display DvdDto
3. Modify DvdDto
4. Update (send to server/backend) DvdDto
5. (Return - It worked.)
Sad path (it failed)
1. Query - returns DvdDto
2. GUI - display DvdDto
3. Modify DvdDto
4. Update (send to server/backend) DvdDto
5. Exception is thrown
6. (Return - It failed)
Step 6 is a bit ambigous because it depends on the user and the actual client/server relationship. It could be an exception, a message or just true/false (false is failed.)
In the above there is no step that corrects or alters the DvdDto instance that was thrown. One reason for this is that it might be a minot mistake on the users part and if you destroy everything they alread typed in they are not going to be happy.

Link Between Business Object and Transaction

How is Business Object linked to transactions?
For example, how is business object BUS2032 (Sales order) linked to transaction VA01 (Create sales order)?

Hi Ben,
I'm not sure that you link a business object and a transaction code explicitly. Normally in the business objects methods you have coded what transaction code should be called. Therefore if you use the methods of the business objects it then knows what transaction to call.
Conversely on the workflow side you will find that down in the depths of the coding for VA01 (as an example) it calls workflow function modules and raises events. When doing so it provides the business object id and key to the business object (i.e. the sales order number). Indirectly I guess the change documents that are raised for most things in SAP like sales documents are uniquely identified and therefore can also be translated to the business object key (e.g. sales documents will have their own change document type).
A brief example in my 4.6c system can be found in include LIEDPF4C in the form finsta_kontoauszug_buchen with a call to function SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT. You see the the parameter "object_type" has a variable passed to it "objtype_finsta". If you drill back on objtype_finsta you see that is hardcoded to the value BUS4499.
I guess you could say the developer of the business object knows what transaction codes the business object should use and the developer of the code in the transaction code knows what business objects he should be raising events for if necessary.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Michael

Integrating Business Object Attributes and Database attribute

Newbie using Oracle BPM 11g
I am trying the following:
1)Display two process fields from Business Objects (say firstname, last name) and one field which is a dropdown (say branchcode) from database using ADF UI.
2)Initiator enters the firstname,lastname and then selects a branchcode from the drop down and submits the form.
3)A Reviewer has to view these three fields selected by the Initiator.
My question is how do we enable the reviewer to see the branchcode selected by the Initiator(as it is list of values from database and not from a business object)
Sudip

Hi,
unfortunately this didn't solve it.
The confusing is, that I see the System in the loaded DQE window at the metadata loader, but the corresponding business objects of this system appear without any parameters.
I have no idea what else to do!
