Migrating a custom built BusinessObjects 6.5 Java application to XI 3.1

Hi,
We have a Business Objects 6.5 system which needs to be migrated to XI 3.1.
In the present Business Objects 6.5 system, we have a custom built Java application deployed on WebLogic. Its got a single sign on also configured from the Java web page into InfoView. A fair deal of SDK customization has been done to achieve this.
My question is, if we need to set up the same portal to function similarly in Business Objects XI 3.1, what are the steps to be followed? Should the code be re-written to adhere to the XI 3.1 SDK and then re-deployed on the new server? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
I found this document: u201CMigrating Business Objects 6 Customized Applications to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2u201D which provides info on this. But, Iu2019m not yet able to figure out where to begin.
I do not have great exposure to writing code and deploying web applications. So Iu2019ll be very grateful for any help and pointers on this.
Many thanks!
Rahul

More than likely it will need to be a complete rewrite.
At the top of this forum there is a post called [Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources|Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources; which you should read.
It has links to various Java SDK information and samples.
I would suggest starting there.

  • MSS ECM - how to retrieve custom OADP column in Webdynpro java application

    Great day to all,
    We have created custom OADP column for MSS ECM planning in SPRO.
    In Portal, ECM Plan Table, the column is visible. User enters values into that and toggles the tabstrip.
    Before submitting, i need to capture that value in Webdynpro java.
    My Question is,
    How can i make use of that column in my ECM Application using webdynpro java??
    or how can i retrieve the custom OADP columns in webdynpro java with out using RFC??
    Need ur great help... thanks alot in advance...
    Thanks
    Malla

    In OADP ,there are two types of columns , functional column which cannot be edited in web dynpro java application and another type is application column which can be edited in application and the value of this column is handled in application using rfc enabled function module. MSS ECM comes with certain application column whose values are handled in MSS-ECM application . If you are trying to add custom application column you will have to handle that column value in your Z function module and also at OADP level you should not configure supply function for that column.
    In order to call custom Z function module to handle custom application column I would suggest to create a seperate Software component and development component  and in that handle the logic for calling Z Function module. Also you will have to define the usage of custom Development component in the MES-ECM standard component.

  • Accessing custom Portal service from a java application

    We have a custom portal service that connects to BW using xmla. How do you access this portal service from a java application. Not from web dynpro, jsp or servlet but from the java code.
    Can we use the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY to get access to the portal service.
    Thank You
    D.K

    Now I tried the following:
    I've added the prtapi.jar and the service's jar to the additional-lib folder and added the appropriate entries to library.txt and reference.txt.
    Now I can obtain now the PortalRuntime, but this is not initialized.
    Has anybody a solution for this problem? Help would be high appreciated!

  • MBean classloading in Sun Java Application Server 9.0

    Hi,
    I am having a classloading issue when attempting to register my custom MBeans within the Sun Java Application Server 9.0 environment.
    The instructions say I can put either my classes or a Jar archive in domain_dir/applications/mbeans. When I put just the class files there it works fine. However, when I attempt to Jar those same class files (properly I might add) and put that Jar there it fails to find the mbean classes.
    Does anyone know anything about this?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Kedar,
    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I finally figured it out.
    The custom MBeans seem to work well for the most part though I don't know for sure if I'm using them in the way they were really intended.
    Basically, I want to run 'services' on my application server for the lifetime of the server. I want these 'services' to maintain things like runtime caching of information over time that is not persisted in a DB but needs to be kept around in active memory to be used at a later time, but only while the application server is up and running.
    Another thing I would like to do is have them receive JMS notifications directly, but I seem to be having trouble when subscribing as a consumer within my custom MBean. The topic thread on that is here:

  • **** Migration of Custom Objects in R12 ****

    Hello All,
    We have to migrate our custom objects from 11i to 12.
    I have no idea or document on this.
    Please answer on
    a) is it possible to migrate our custom objects from 11i to 12 ???
    b) since R12 is java based, do we need to create custom objects from scratch ???
    Example 11i is using a rdf report, so how this will be migrated ??? or we need to create some jaba based report in R12 ????
    c) ALso about forms - are they JSP pages in R12???
    Please reply .
    Thanks
    Anand

    Anand,
    Your work demands much more analysis. Migration will depend on a lot many factors like the kind of objects you have used, whether the customization done on a page/form has changed or not, any functionality/seeded code/database object changes which might directly affect your customizations.
    One thing for sure is that mod pl/sql is not supported by oracle in R12.
    rdf reports should be fine. some forms have been converted to OAF pages.
    You will have to go through the readme of technology patches and product patches for a complete analysis.

  • Our Java application is built with java 1.4 version and oracle 10g

    Our Java application is built with java 1.4 version and oracle 10g version database, is it possible to upgrade oracle database to 11g?

    is it possible to upgrade
    Yes. SE and the other editions have a migration/upgrade utility, not seeing any mention of that program in the XE license docs. To upgrade to 11gR2 from 10g, the 10g instance must be at patch 10.2.0.2 or higher.
    So if you're a GUI dba, might be out of luck. But the the XE install has the catalog upgrade scripts that need to be run, there is a MOS note explaining the manual upgrade steps.
    Or set up a brand new 11g database instance and datapump your user schema(s) from the 10g instance to the new 11g instance. The database doesn't care what java version you're using, it just does what its told with the data. DDL, DCL, DML ... its not much different. Quite a few new features in 11g.
    But if you're after JVMs that piece is not supported with XE.

  • How to deploy the custom java application for self regaistration in portal?

    hi,
    I have created a custom java application in NWDS for Self Registration of new users.I am working on EP 7.02 and the standard self registration application is a Web dynpro java application.
    How can i deploy my custom java application built as a par file in place of the Web dynpro java application?
    Thanks,

    Hi Amarys,
    If you have developed the PAR file in NWDS then you can deploy the PAR in the server with NWDS ( [Check Required Settings |NWDS 7.0 does not deploy PAR;) or in server directly (system administrator > support >> portal runtime >> administration console)

    Can anybody tell me how can migrate this webservice to Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3?
    Thanks a lot
    Josep Maria

    Hi Josep,
    WLS8.1 webservice needs to have all the WebService annotations when we migrate it to WLS9.x onwards.
    Here is a Simplest way which can be used....As you already have the WSDL generated from your WLS8.1 WebService ....So Use WSDLC Task to genarate the Annotated WebService from it ...and then Copy and paste the Method Implementations from your OLD Service to the Newly Generated Service....
    How to do it?
    Answer: Here is have developed a Step by Step procedure to do it...Please have a look...

  • How can i built a java application using java debug class on Log4J

    Hi,
    As java API support the MethodEntryEvent, using which I can get the automatic logging statements when the method is entered or exited as HelloExample.main(with argument type).
    Where HelloExample is the class name.
    Main is the method entered with its argument types.
    In some cases I have the o/p as
    -- VM Started --
    ====== main ======
    main -- HelloExample
    callerMethod -- HelloExample
    ====== main end ======
    -- The application exited --
    By using Log4J is there any possibility of getting these sort of o/p along with the loggers supported by Log4J. i mean to say can i built an java application which supports the MethodEntryEvent and MethodExitEvent from java API and also uses the Log4J debugging. I took an e.g. trace example, which (in J2SE 1.4.x or 5.x) will be found in $JAVA_HOME/demo/jpda/examples.jar and unpacking it by
    jar -xvf $JAVA_HOME/demo/jpda/examples.jar i found the com/sun/tools/example/trace/Trace.java and passed the class constructed with logger taken from Log4J. In this case the logging message is displayed on the console. As per the requirement i need to transfer the whole o/p to an output file along with Log4J logger statements. in this case i should not give any command in the cosule except compiling and executing the programme. the programm also should able to run without the main() as i need to integrate Log4J with an application and the code must me application server independent. i need the output as i got using MethodEnteryEvent (shown as above) in case of java application built using Log4J.
    Can any one help me in this regard. can any one give me some suggestion or any programme of this sort. All suggestions are welcomed.
    Thanks & Regards,

    hi,
    can someone help me how to implement logging for method entry parameters and
    method exit return value.
    can someone help me how to use log4j and integrate it to the method entry
    logging and method exit logging.
    Here what i need is without writing the log statements for the method entry and
    method exit i need to log it to the file
    along with other log4j debug statements i provide in the file.I should be able
    to configure whether to enable/disable the logging
    for method entry and method exit. In method entry i should be able to log the
    parameters the method take and in method exit
    i should be able to log te return value to the log file, before the method is
    returned to the callee.
    i hope i am clear
    Thanks in advance.

  • Want to Generate custom logs with Log4J within Java Embedding activity

    Hi Gurus,
    i want to Generate custom logs with Log4J within Java Embedding activity. For that i have performed some steps, but the log file has not been created.
    ServerSide Configuration:
    *===============*
    1. I have copied the log4j-1.2.15.jar file to the "oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1" location and recreate the oracle.soa.ext.jar file using an-script, which appends the log4j.jar file to the classpath.( That was created successfully)
    2. Specify a File location in log4j.xml for creating the log file. (e.g. (<middleware_home>/config/customLog.log)
    3. Then create a folder and add log4j.xml and log4j.dtd file under the folder.
    4. Modify the startManagedWeblogicServer by adding JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dlog4j.configuration=<middleware_home>/config/log4j.debug.xml”
    5. Then restart the SOA server.
    log4j.xml :
    I have used fileAppender.
    DevelopmentSide Configuration:
    *===================*
    1. Create synchronous BPEL process and Add "JAVA Embedding Activity" inbetween receiveInput and replyOutput activity.
    2.Import the log4j-1.2.15.jar to the project libs
    3.In the BPEL source code, import the Logger class.
    4.Insert the code in the JAVA Embedding Activity
    Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("CustomLog");
    logger.info("CustomeLog " + getTitle());
    Compile and deploy the project into the SOA_server and test it. Test status is completed but log is not created in the mentioned location.
    Ref: http://blog.andrade.inf.br/search/label/Log4j
    Is there any other way to achieve this requirement. Please suggest.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Imac 27inch custom built flicker screen solution??

    Dear friends and apple support team,
    i have imac 27 inch custom built and it have the same issue with screen flickering and the local supplier change the machine with a new one and after using the new machine fir one day only the same issue has been happened.
    so please let me know how i can fix this issue?
    thanks

    Only if they are wrong about the screen or motherboard being broken.
    How old is it? And you did not get apple care when you bought it?
    Had you gone to system preferences>energy saver and adjust the time before the screen sleeps?
    The "turns back on" kind of is a bad sign for you though... Sorry I am unable to help at ALL.

  • Export Project from custom built Project planning to MS project

    Hi All,
    I am having requirement of exporting/Importing custom built project application in SAP to MS project. If any one have worked on how to export and import data between MS project and SAP system, kindly share with me.
    Regards,
    Karthick S

    Karthick,
    If it is like project plan or kind of audit plan then you can use sap audit management process, where we can import and export plans between sap and MS project and through both online and offline we can update the data.
    pls correct me if my understanding is wrong.

  • Calling Customer code in java application

    Hi,
    in my java application running on WAS 6.40 I want to call some customer code.
    Basically I create a data structure (DOM XML tree) and want to pass this to customer code to be able to modify it as needed.
    My idea would be to define an interface which would than be implemented by customer java classes. But how do I load these classes?
    In theory I would create a configuration table in my app where the customer would specify the classname of his classes implementing this interface and I would do a Class.forName("...")
    But those classes will be unknown to my application'S classloader, right? Because they won't be deployed with my application and I can't have references as I do not know if and what the customer will deploy. What's the best approach to this? WOuld EJBs help better?
    Thanks
    Bruno

    Hi Bruno,
    We did this for our application.  We needed a weak reference from our deployable DC to a specific DC (e.g. DC\customerExit)  The customer then creates this DC and adds their classes to it.  Since it is a weak reference,  it does not need to exist for your application to work. You can use the customizing to be able to lookup the specific class name that they created. 
    hope this helps,
    Rich

  • Creation Of Custom Queries of Execution Type Java.

    Hi All ,
    I want to know if I can create Custom queries of Execution type java which have Query Executor class.
    I got this requirement because I got to customize "Search Master Agreements and Agreements".
    It seems like it's not possible as Query Executor Class is uneditable so no chance of deploying any class file in server and trying out the ways...
    Any approach exists to customize these type of queries.?
    Regards,
    Uday

    Hi
    I understand your requirement is to customize Search Master Agreements and Agreements query and display the new custom report in the Contract Management dropdown on workbench along with other queries.
    This could be achieved by duplicating original query  i.e.Search Master Agreements and Agreements, customize and save it, go to Query Group in set up, identify  and open the query group containing the original query and add the new customized query as query reference.Also don't forget to remove the original query from the query list.
