Intalling BO front end tools on top of SAP BW (trial version).

Hi All,
I currently work on SAP BI and SAP Enterprise Portal projects. I am looking at installing BO Front end tools on top of SAP BW (just a trial version though).
Does anybody have the links where I can download this software? Also I have played about with Excelsious which appears to be the new version of analyzer. What is the new version of Web Application Designer (Pioneer??) Is it possible to integrate web templates created with BO into the SAP Enterprise portal? Is there any guides which explains how to create simple dashboards with BO front end tools and integarte them into the portal?
I have a found some decent blogs already and am currently attempting to install BO onto my laptop.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick.

Hello Nick,
yes you can implement BO Reports/Dashobard into the Enterprise Portal in some way. Its a bit tricky and here are some usefull guides you may have a look into.

Hi James,
For Visual Composer no need any Front end tools.. you need portal connection.. to configure your visual compoer.. the visla composer it self contain all the items.. just like a Webtemplate..
all the reports.. that web based reports or dash boards we can view through Browser only..

What front-end tools could be used to access the database server.

Could someone please let me know what would be the role of a oracle DBA in the following fields of corporate sector and what might be the front-end tools used to access the oracle database. Any little help is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
1. Telecommunication - Oracle 9i - Small to Medium size company
2. Cash n Carry (with 4 to 5 branches) - Oracle 8i - small to medium
3. Share broking (with two branches) - Oracle 8i - small

The role of a DBA should be to get out as quickly as possible, because both 8i and 9i are desupported.
Front-end tools are
Developer
JDeveloper
HTML DB (probably no longer available, while desupported)
Oracle Portal (9i and higher)
.NET
Oracle Application Express (successor of HTML DB, don't remember the minimum DB version, likely 10g)
Sybrand Bakker
Senior Oracle DBA

Front End Tool for JSP

I'm trying to develop a commerically viable front-end to an existing JSP system.Are there any tools available that make the task of creating a front end(i.e. HTML,XML) easier.
For example, nice headers/tabs at the top of each page while keeping usability at a premuim??

That's a difficult question to answer off the top of my head.
Are you looking for some software that allows you to import a JSP based application into it, with the intention of modifying those so they look nicer?
Or are you looking for a tool that will let you build nice looking pages then spit those out as JSPs or XMLs?
Either way, my reply would be NO? The userbility aspects are things your organisation has to invest time in (designers, PR folks, communications, page developers, info architects, etc). Translating those thoughts into hard pages is where the HTML layer comes in, and there are no tools out there that can bring usability into web pages.
You see what I mean?
However, if what you are asking for is the availability of tools or editors to help you create the HTML you put in JSP files, then you are only one step away from your answer. There are several out there. Just look in http://www.download.com/Web-Page-Creation/2001-10247_4-0.html?tag=nav_dir for some of the most popular.

ESS - Creating a Front End Selection Screen, that accesses SAP T-code

Hi,
We have an ESS Portal in our company.
I have been given the following request:
For a specific transaction, create a selection screen in the portal that would be a modified version of the selection screen that exists in the SAP system.
From this front-end in the selection screen, the specific transaction within the SAP system would be accessed.
How is this done? What do I need to know about the overall process?
Please help.
Thanks,
John

Just to clarify,
Create the transaction and selection screen in the SAP system.
Then ask the Portal team to create an iView for this transaction.
What if I need to say get the Internal SAP employee number from the user's sign on information?
Thanks,
John

Latest SP levels for BI 7.0 and it's Front-end tools such as BEx.

Dear Experts
We are using BI 7.0 connected into SAP ECC 6.0 to implement HCM in BW.
I was told by the Basis that SP hasn't been upgraded ever since the BW system was installed back in year 2008.
They have come back today saying they have upgraded the SPs which I still doubt since the System Status shows me the same Release and SPs that I remember I had seen a couple of days ago.
It is showing as below in System Status:
Component Version: SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
Component Information (after clicking on the lens):
Softwware Component      Release      Level      Highest Support Package      Short Description of Software Component
SAP_BW                             701             0006       SAPKW70106                        SAP Business Warehouse
BI_CONT                             703             0016        SAPKIBIIQ6                            Business Intelligence Content
And the Query Designer shows as below when started:
Business Explorer Query Designer
Business Intelligence
Release 2004s, SupportPackage 0, Revision 418
And the BEx Analyzer shows as below after going to 'About':
Business Explorer Analyzer
Business Intelligence
Release 2004s, Support Package 0, Revision 461
Please let me know what are the latest patches and versions so that I'll ask my Basis to upgrade accordingly. As I could see that the Query Designer and BEx Analyzer are with different revisions, I am doubting if they are different for WAD, Report Designer and Information Broadcasting tools also.
Where should the Basis start upgrading the SPs so that it will spread right across the system?
Any help or directions to right info online is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Chandu

Hi ,

BO SSO with the SAP front end tool

Hi ,
I am trying to go with SSO in the BO 3.0 version but i an facing an error when i am trying to create the ticket .... i am pasting the error and the architecture of the process kindly help me in this issue....
Please can we have SSO setup in the following envioronments and applications
BO Systems : B0S/B0D/B0Q/B0P
EP Systems: S0E/D0E/Q0E/P0E
Applications: InfoViewApp /CmcApp
This is required for complete implementation of Business Objects security model because SAP users do not have passwords
Problem Description: (Precise description of problem)
Setup SSO in the following environments and applications :
BO Systems : B0S/B0D/B0Q/B0P
EP Systems: S0E/D0E/Q0E/P0E
Applications: InfoViewApp /CmcApp
This is required for complete implementation of Business Objects security model because SAP users do not have passwords
Analysis:
SAP side u2013 items already complete:
- on the SAP side the portal needs to generate tickets for the BI system
- the BI system needs to trust the Portal
- the BI system needs to accept SSO tickets
- all the machines need to be in the same domain
Installation of the complete items can be confirmed by the presents of portal login ticket at these addresses :
Several issues needs to be checked in the Business Objects environment:
- the SAP authentication needs to be configured for the SAP system
- the web.xml for InfoView needs to use secSAPR3 as default setting for the authentication
- the default system in the SAP authentication options should be configured to use your SAP BI system
- the Business Objects system needs to be in the same domain
Analysis of authorization requirements (Mandatory for programs and tables):
Solution: (Final solution)
To complete the SSO implementation in the SAP BO environment, these issues should be completed:
1): Test that the SAP portals actually accepts portal login tickets:
https://epproduction-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epquality-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epdevelopment-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epsandbox-app.statoil.no:56201/irj/portal
2): Implement and test the following items:
- the SAP authentication needs to be configured for the SAP system
- the web.xml for InfoView needs to use secSAPR3 as default setting for the authentication
- the default system in the SAP authentication options should be configured to use your SAP BI system
- the Business Objects system needs to be in the same domain
3): Check that fully qualified URLu2019s for BO systems calls the sso login:
- This also should be tested and confirmed working by the basis team (EDB) before the task is completed
- Comparison with production setup today is required
- Fully operational SSO setup in Prod can be found at: http://boxi.statoil.no:8080/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
Tomcat implementation
SSO setup implicates these reconfiguration elements:
-     Update of web.xml for InfoViewApp and CmcApp in Tomcat :
This is the correct web.xml setup for SSO (gathered from prod env.):

Hi Sanjeev,
It is kind of very hard to go through all the details you have written.
You have BO 3.0 and SAP in Back End.
First you have to install BOBJ
Then install Integration Kit.
Then you have to take some steps in SAP BI side such as creating RFC.
Then you will import your roles into BOBJ by going to CMC.
After that one you will be able to attain SSO.
Have you done all? If yes then exactly what error or issue you are getting? Be brief please.
When you mention any problem mention following.
What version you have?
What is in the back end?
What service Pack and Fix Pack you installed?
What environment you have?
What error you are getting and on which step?
Regards,
Bashir Awan

Photoshop trial period ended, purchased PS, but now only have trial version.

I had Photoshop and bridge as a trial in January. The trial expired and I purchased the software, but the software is not on my computer and I keep getting messages about the trial nearly ending. Do I need to uninstall the trial software and reinstall the new software? I have spent 3 hours on this already...not fun

Is APEX the tool for a lightweight browser based query only front end?

I'm tasked with prototyping a lightweight browser based front end to display consolidated customer information. It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications, each passing in a customer id parameter. In my mind I've already marked-down the only front-end tool I have experience of - Forms10g as being too resource intensive to be continually started up and closed down (plus the initial potential JVM download to locked-down PC's). That leaves me with a couple of options (as far as I can see) - APEX or ADF Faces. I'm slightly worried about the steep learning curve for a J2EE environment plus the possible compatibility issues with ie 5.5 ( I know, I know ). And finally, my question - I've got a good feeling about it but does APEX seem like a good fit for this sort of task?

It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications, each passing in a customer id parameter. Chris - They want to be able to hit a button in these other applications and see a browser window pop-up (quickly!), view the customer details (composite picture sourced from a data warehouse) then close the browser window and go back to their app. Needs to be lightweight for speed so APEX seemed a good idea.
Denes - Thanks. I'm thinking that the users will regularly open this browser session from their app then close the APEX window to return - probably time and time again. Did you find that establishing a connection and getting the page up made it slow. Is there something I should concentrate on to make sure that aspect performs?

Advice regarding using 3.5 front end AND 7.0 front end on users' machines

Hello everyone,
We are trying to determine the best way to roll out the new 7.0 front end tools. We are doing a technical upgrade to 2004s first, and later converting all the objects. Initially we plan to have both the 3.5 and 7.0 front end tools both residing on users' pcs, until we convert all objects to 04s.
Does anyone have a recommendation for rolling out the new tools to users, with out the risk of having them accidentally convert objects when they open queries (we have been told that if you open a query in the new tools, it automatically converts the objects). We need to prevent this from happening until we are ready to convert all the objects.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

The most important thing is to use naming conventions (maybe a new naming convention using the new tools). Then set security up to prevent conversion depending on your scenarios. When migrating, it is recommended to be very careful around converting global elements (variables, Global Calculated Key Figures, and Global Restricted Key Figures). Within the RSZCOMPDIR table, there is a version field (greater than 100 is 2004s elements) so you can see the version there as well. It is recommended to migrate all queries within a single infoprovider together to avoid conflicts with global elements.

Hi Rifaee,
appplogies for misunderstanding..
i want only the clues how i can execute this using some of the available SAP functionalities.. ofcourse finest ABAP'rs only think out of the box to solve this and rest will usually answer it as not feasible.

Database triggers VS Front end triggers

Hi All,
We have online ticket reservation application developed using oracle forms 6i and Oracle 8i database in Client server multiuser environment.
for example we have scenario like this.. AFTER INSERTING into TABLE A,
we need to UPDATE status column in TABLE B, for achieve this which is better option
To write database trigger on A,
or To write a POST INSERT trigger in the form designed uisng TABLE A.
basically the the dataentry is done through Front end only.
we are going to have upto 20 triggers of this scenario in the entire database on diffrent tables.
which is best practice? in terms of performance.
And we want to have DAY END, DAY CLOSE system, so that once we close DAY, no one allowed to insert data into few tables, for this can we use database triggers or front end check.
Thanks in advance

There isn't a confusion here between "application" meaning front-end tool, and "application" meaning "whatever layer contains your business logic" is there? I didn't mean to suggest that i thought it a good idea that business logic be implemented outside of the database, just that it ought to all be in one layer -- my own choice would be db packages, but if someone were commited to putting business logic outside of the db, then that would be the place for all the code.

Can we Report BW Cube using Cognos Fornt End tools

Hello, Experts.
We need some inputs on how to Report BW cubes using COGNOS front end tools.
is this possible?
do we need to develop new cubes out in cognos again for making reports?
and in BW cube some attributes of material are not navigational if we go to cognos can we use this attributs for drill down or filtering?
Thanks in Advance.
Bharath.

i am currently working on bi 7 with cognos 8.2 and go live very soon
- best approach is to use query as datasource for cognos (cognos consultants agree)
.......without query as datasource, cognos cannot see any reusable objects.
- If i recall, cognos can leverage attributes as navigational even if bw does not have them set that way.
- one downside is that you need to make sure all your rkf descriptions are locked down 100% because cognos uses the description in their xml definitions.
- Make sure you have an experience cognos framework modeler that knows ins and out and does not use simple wizards. same happened to us and lots of settings occured very late and slowed project.
reach out to me via my profile and i can give you pointers.

BIA for Cognos Front-end

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating BW front-end tool as Cognos. Is anyone know if we implement BIA, Cognos will use it and get better result?
Thanks for your reply.
Regards
Ramesh

Hello Ramesh,
Cognos (as well as any other 3rd party front-end) will benefit from BIA. How much faster your queries will be depends on how much time is spent on the data selection.The higher the time now, the faster these queries will be with BIA.
