Infocube Business Object.

Hello,
I am looking for some help on how to use InfoCube Business Object?
I am trying to to call the GetList method on the InfoCube business object. I am very new to SAP BW so any pointers could be helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Sheetal

Hi,
I believe you are talking about object BUS6112 (Infocube). Method GetList corresponds to BAPI InfoCubeGetList, the corresponding function module in ABAP is BAPI_CUBE_GETLIST (I am not sure how familiar you are with ABAP or SAP in general).
On the BW system, go to txn BAPI, drill down to object InfoCube and expand it to see all the methods/BAPIs available. Choose GetList and click the 'Documentation' tab on the right window. This gives you some description about this method. (This method gives you a list of infocubes available in BW as mentioned there.)
To test this method, go to SE37 txn, type in the corresponding function name BAPI_CUBE_GETLIST, and press F8. On the next screen you can specify the input values and press F8 again to check the results.
hope this helps,
cheers,
Ajay

Accessing BIA through Business Objects - read from Query or InfoCube

Hi All,
I've a BObj/BIA question, some similar threads have been posted....
With a Business Objects front-end, I understand that BIA can be used to access Indexed InfoCube data, and reduce the data manager portion of the overall runtime.
My question relates to the options of a)Business Objects reading data defined in Queries, or b)BO reading the data from the InfoCubes.
So my question is:
a) Is there any difference/benefit in using one option over the other? (queries Vs InfoCubes directly)
b) Will both methods access the required data through the BIA if it (the data) is available there and indexed?
Thanks for the help,
Mk.

Hello Michael,
both methods will use BIA. We recommend to use queries since they typically limit the selection criteria through variables and give you the possibility to use restricted and calculated key figures. With direct InfoCube access you run the risk that users try to read the complete InfoCube.

Business Objects Excel Analyser

Hi,
We are currently using BEx reporting tols on top of SAP BI and considering replacing BEx Tools with that of BO Tools.
Can you help me with list of available BO Reporting Tools and advantages of them compared to BEx tools.
and
Provide more info on Business Objects Excel Analyser.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think you are talking about SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office.
It is mainly used for highly interactive multidimensional analysis. With this tool you can connect to any queries defined in BW 7.0 (even with Query Designer 3.5) and any InfoProviders (InfoCubes, DataStore objects etc.). In addition, Analysis supports SAP HANA as a source.
You can call the Query Designer from Analysis to check the definition of a query and to change it according to your needs.
For more information, kinldy go throught below document:

Business object architecture data model

HI All,
Can anyone give the architectural data model for business object ?
i got few but my data base is sap BI and i need to design a document to show the data model
so anybody having such document or any link for that so please share.
thanks in advance.
regards,
DJ.

Hi DJ,
Best Practice says that if you have SAP BI in Back end and SAP BOBJ on front End then follow below mentioned path.
Create your SAP Query on the top of your InfoCube or ODS etc
Use calculated Key Figures and Restricted Key Figures in your Query.
Use most of the objects under Free Characteristics area for better performance and results
Create your Universe on the top of SAP Query. (we can create universe on the top of Cube and ODS but then we cannot use variable and performance also gets hit)
You can also create further variable / Filters at Universe level instead of WebI to improve performance
Create WebI report or Crystal Report etc (You can also create variables / Filters here).
Page 38 of following link gives a diagram for better understanding.

SAP Business Objects Explorer on top of SAP BW

Dear Experts,
My Requirement:
- Use BO Explorer on top of SAP BW ( no HANA, no BIA ). This is to provide the users a set of related data and they can analyse the way they want.
Question-1:
- What should be the BW data volume that I should keep in mind for BO Explorer to have good performance. My concern is primarily because we don't use BIA or HANA.
Question-2:
- Can BO Explorer directly connect to a BW Infocube/Multiprovider or it has to connect only through Universes
Regards.

Hi,
I will suggest you Go for SAP Business Objects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office,ity can connect bex query directly & Bw/Infocubes also.
Regarding Performance we can do In BI Itself depends on Business needs,: modelling , extraction, reporting 3 levels in BI .
For more info : Refer Below :

Data federator in business objects

Hi,
What is the use of data federator in business objects.
Regards,
G

HI,
The only option in this case is to 1) use Business Objects' Data Federator to bring XYZ data and BW (new) data together, 2) creating a relational universe, and 3) creating Crystal / WEBI reports using the relational universe; see Picture 1.
>> You can also combine the data by using a MultiProvider in BW which is access the data in BW and the data in the legacy system and an additional alternative is to move all the data into BW.
After 20 years goes by, and we no longer need to report on data housed in XYZ anymore, the environment will be turned off.
1) When this happens, wouldn't we want to remove Data Federator and the relational universe from the scenario ?
>> That depends on the approach you took

SAP Log on into Business Objects server not working (Error FWB 00014)

Hello,
I recently installed Business Objects XI 3.1 Edge series, I am able to logon to enterprise and everything is working fine. I am even able to import roles from SAP system but I have two problems.
1. Logging on to enterprise using SAP user: I am getting the following error message when I choose SAP in the Athentication and enter SAP username and password and click log on.
"Account Information Not Recognized: All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses. (FWB 00014)".
2. Logging on to SAP system through SAP Logon pad: When I enter my username and passord in SAP system from the same server as I installed BusinessObjects I am getting a run time error.
Did any one of you had the same problem or does any one of you have any clue how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume that you have a key for named licences (You can check this in the CMC under Licence keys).
What you need to do is to go in the CMC, navigate to Authentication->SAP->Options and select the Named users option.

What is the diffrence between BAPI and RFC and business object

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tel me what is the diffrence between RFC and BAPI , and also what is ther relation with business object?
Thanx in advance.
Nilesh Hiwale

Hi,
BAPI's are associated with Business Objects and also they are RFC enabled.
But RFC's are the FM's which can be called from external systems, those FM's can be used in many places based on the applications..
Check these Links
whats the difference between BAPI and RFC??

BI-IP and Business Objects?

Please refer to the thread:
BI-IP and Business Objects?

Ian,
reading through the messages, there seem to be a few questions that are raised. After attending SAP Financials 2008, here is what I got from it:
1. IP vs BPC: IP is still in production and will be developed (no commitment on time though. I was told somewhere between 18-24 months before it goes to maintenance mode). There is some functionality difference from BPC and right now these are two separate products. There is a talk of a possible integration in the "distant" future
2. BPC is in process of being developed for BI, but currently it is only running on top of Microsoft SQL server. The BI version is slated to be released June 28th, but majority of the experts are fairly pessimistic about that date.
Now, the main question is what will happen to IP when BEx and BO tools converge into one - based on my understanding, we are going to see ADDITIONAL functionality. Since all the WAD and Excel activities are based on BEx API's, it is highly unlikely that they are going to be dismissed in the new product. The process in which we assign functions/commands to the planning model might change, but I think only for the best

How to WorkDay() Excel Function in Business Objects Web Intelligence 12.2.7

Hi,
I am calculating OTD SLA metrics using the Business Object Web Intelligence, but I am stuck with the WorkDay() how to use this in BO, as it is available in Excel. Requirement is that I need to add business days (Saturdays and Sundays should not be considered) to a particular date. Greatly appreciate if some one can help me immediately as this is high priority right now and need to complete it <REMOVED_BY_MODERATOR>. Thank you, Shiv. Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Pravender on Nov 22, 2010 11:18 AM

Thank you for trying to reply.
What exactly I need is that:
Example:
11/19/2010 + 3 this should give me the date 11/24/2010 which is actually excluding Sat and Sun and adding only the business days to the date.
Please provide me full formula
Thanks in advance, Shiv

Values from Structure used in Form to be transferred to a Business Object

Hello,
I have defined a structure (zcsks) in the workflow container. This structure is used in two forms (Change and Approve).
With the approval (button pressed on approve form) the data entered in the structure zcsks has to be transferred to the business object ZBUS0012 in the workflow container, so that the business object method CREATE can be executed automatically.
The values for the structure ZCSKS is already transferred from the form to the workflow container automatically.
My question now is how I can transfer values from ZCSKS to ZBUS0012 and execute its method CREATE automatically ?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
"Value of expression '&_WI_OBJECT_ID.COSTCENTER&' cannot be used as the target of an assignment"
This is because you are trying to assign a value to an attribute of the main object of a workflow (_WI_OBJECT_ID).
That won't work. I thought you meant you had an object in the workflow container and wanted to
instantiate that.
When the workflow is created the main object is already instantiated so you can't change it.

Performance issue with Business Objects Java JRC API in CRXI R2 version

A report is developed using java JRC API in CR XI release 2. When I generate the report in the designer, it took less than 5 seconds to display the results in crystal report viewer inside the designer. But in the QA environment, when I generate the same report from the application, it takes almost 1 to 1.5 minutes to display the same results in PDF. I also noticed that if the dataset contains bigger volume of data, then the reports are taking even longer almost 15 to 20 minutes.
While generating the report from the application, I noticed that most of time is taken during the execution of the com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportExportControl Object method as shown in following line of code
exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, context, null)
We thought the delay in exporting the report to PDF might be the layout of the report and data conversion to PDF for such a bigger volume of data.
Then we investigated the issue and experimented quickly to generate the same report with same result set data from the application using XML, XSL and converted the output XSL-FO to PDF using Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) implementation. The time taken to export the report to PDF is less than 6 seconds. By doing this experiment, it is proved that the issue is not with conversion of data to PDF but it is the performance problem with Business Objects Java JRC API in CR XI R2.
In this regard, I searched for the above issue in the SAP community Network Forums -> Crystal Reports and Xcelsius -> Java Development -> Crystal Reports. But I did not find any answers or solutions for this kind of issue in the forums.
Any suggestion, hint in this matter is very much appreciated.

Ted, The setReportAppServer problem is resolved. Now I could able to generate the report with hardcoded values in the SQLs in just 6 seconds where as the same report was generated in CRXI R2 in 1 minute 15 seconds as mentioned in the earlier message.
But, our exisiting application passes the parameter values to the SQLs embedded in the report. For some reason the parameters are not being passed to the report and the report displays only the labels without data.
As per the crj 12 samples codes, the code is written as shown below.
1. Created ReportClient Document
2. SetReportAppServer
3. Open the report
4. Getting DatabaseController and switching the database connection at runtime
5. Then setting the parameters as detailed below
ParameteFields parameterFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
parameterFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "paramname",paramvalue);
parameterFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "paramname",paramavalue);
byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
6. Streaming the report to the browser
Why the parematers are not being passed to the report? Do I need to follow the order of setting these parameters? Did I miss any line of code for setting Params using crj 12?
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

BAPIs or Function Modules for Links between different Business Objects

Hi experts,
I am accessing an SAP CRM 5.0 system from outside via remote function calls.
I have the GUID of a business partner and would like to find other business objects
that are related to this business partner.
For example:
- Which activities are relevant for this business partner?
- Which orders were placed by this business partner?
- Which leads or opportunities are linked to this business partner?
- Which products did this business partner order?
Is it possible to get this information by calling BAPIs or other RFC function modules?
Regards,
Karsten

After studying lots of documentation and trying to understand the BOL and GenIL concepts,
I finally found a function module which meets my demands. With function module
CRM_GENIL_GET_QUERY_RESULT you can execute a Search Object of the GenIL,
and it is remote-enabled.
By checking transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER and choosing component set "ALL"
you get a list of all defined Search Objects. The Search Object that finds all orders of a
business partner is "BTQuery1O".
DATA gt_parameter_list TYPE crmt_name_value_pair_tab.
DATA gs_parameter_list TYPE crmt_name_value_pair.
DATA gt_data_hdr       TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_hdr.
DATA gt_data_attr      TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_attr.
DATA gt_data_rels      TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_rel.
DATA gt_data_rel_obj   TYPE TABLE OF crmt_genil_rfc_data_rel_obj.
gs_parameter_list-name = 'BP_NUMBER'.
gs_parameter_list-value = '4000000011'.
APPEND gs_parameter_list TO gt_parameter_list.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_GENIL_GET_QUERY_RESULT'
EXPORTING
    iv_query_name                = 'BTQuery1O'
    it_parameter_list            = gt_parameter_list
TABLES
    et_data_hdr                  = gt_data_hdr
    et_data_attr                 = gt_data_attr
    et_data_rels                 = gt_data_rels
    et_data_rel_obj              = gt_data_rel_obj
EXCEPTIONS
    error_occured                = 1
    OTHERS                       = 2.
Before you can use the function module, you have to call function module CRM_GENIL_INIT
to initialize the GenIL.

Karsten

Business object type for parked invoices

Hi,
We are using documentum to store documents that have been attached to business object types in SAP. The business object types are configured in transaction OAC3 to point to a pre-configured content repository.
Having this configuration allows the object type to use the "services for objects" option, enabling it to store attachments.
The business object types for invoices have been configured and we are able to store attachments. However this does not seem to work for "Parked invoices". The configuration in the "services for objects" component is not there and the feature to store the attachment is disabled.
As the configuration needs to be done for all object types that need to be able to store attachments, maybe someone here can indicate what the object type is for parked invoices. Alternatively, maybe there is a way to look up the various business object types.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Giwan
