Need to use business objects with a project, please guide on basics.

Hello
I am a dotnet developer (asp.net with C#). I am sorry I dont know much about Business objects. Our client a financial firm wants to use Business object with a web based application. I couldn't got a clear and good understanding of Business object. The client just said Business objects allows dynamically creating reports even clients can create reports very easily even without knowing SQL.
Kindly guide me about Business Object product and its what component I should check for using it. Please mention some links that can give me introduction.
Thanks a lot,
haansi

Hi
Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
Here you can see half an hour Webinars that give you a good understanding of Business Objects:

Best Strategy for Integrating Crystal/Business Objects with OpenACS Environment

Post Author: devashanti
CA Forum: Deployment
I'm working for a client that uses AOL server and OpenACS for their web services/applications. I need suggestions on the best strategy to integrate a reporting solution using Business Objects XI. Ideally I'd like to send an API call from our web application's GUI to the Crystal API with report parameter values to pass into specific reports called via the API - I can get it down to one integer value being passed - or if this is not possible a way to seamlessly, from the end user perspective, move into a reporting module. We are using an Oracle backend database. I'm experienced with creating stored procedures and packages for reporting purposes.
Although I have many years of experience integrating the Crystal active X controls into n-tier client server applications, the past few years I have had little opportunity to work with Business Objects and the newer versions of Crystal or web based solutions with Crystal Reports. I signed up to try out crystalreports.com, but I doubt my client will find this solution acceptable for security reasons as the reports are for an online invoicing system we are developing. However we can set up a reports server in-house if necessary, so it gives me some testing ground.
Can anyone provide suggestions for a doable strategy?

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,

J2EE - Reports using Business Objects.

Hi Friends,
We have a requirement to generate reports in our project using Business Objects v5.1.8.
Some users/Actors will have assess the reports through Webi of business objects and other requirement is to do some selection criteria in web page and once you get the right details, we should be able to generate report directly from web page (Calling .rpt file of Business objects), J2EE application calling business object report. (similar to calling PDF file in browser).
Did any body of you did similar thing and is it possible to do through business objects, I know we can do from crystal reports. Do we need any plug-in ?
I would be grateful, If you have sample code and willing to share.
Thank You
srikanth

oh no, you have that as a requirement! :) well, have fun!! (the guy beside me develops our crystal reports stuff all day).

SSO2DB / Use Business Objects Credential Mapping

Hi,
We standardized our universe connections to SQL Server on "Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time". There however is an issue with this when scheduling reports, see
1199774 - How to schedule Web Intelligence documents based on SSO2DB universes for Oracle and SQL Server to avoid scheduling issues
Given the solution proposed there is not optimal for us, we are looking at an alternative by standardizing on: "Use Business Objects Credential Mapping" on the universe connection. We want to use OLE DB (SQL Server native connection) for querying.
There are 2 ways to do this:
1. On universe connection, in the tab "Database Middleware", we directly select OLE DB. This way we do not need to create a DSN. We however get: A database error occured. The database error text is: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login failed for user '<user>'.. (WIS 10901)
Apparently the default authentication mode to SQL server is "native". SQL server specific user. When we create a native SQL server <user> with same password as in the mapped database credentials in the CMC, it works fine. Indicating native SQL server authentication is used instead Integrated Windows authentication.
Can we somehow change the authentication mode towards SQL server to Win AD?
Can we get to the SSO2DB functionality in this way?
2. When selecting ODBC on universe connection in tab"Database Middleware", we can still use OLE DB by creating a DSN based on the SQL Server native drivers. This also allows use to fix the DSN on authentication setting "With Integrated Windows authentication".
When we run a WebI report from InfoView and select as one of the objects the "system_User", we get the service account running the SIA. This account is also running the WebIntelligenceProcessingServer.
Does the credential mapping setting not work in this setup?
We expected the DBUSER/DBPWD to be passed.
See also SSO2DB / Use Database Credentials
Quote "Use DB credentials is not kerberos it uses DBuser/DBpass variable for accounts if they are populated. I currently have an escalation in on this with SQL there may be a bug with AD users although SQL users work fine."
Thx in advance!
Raf

Ganesh, using BO credentials will only work if you have BO logins that map to specific users in SAP BW.
It may be that you wish to section the BW reporting differently to the SAP reporting or that there are specific requirements for a particular reporting area where you can in effect use an "overrule" to replace an individual's log in with one that has a wider set of access privileges for reporting purposes. Quite why you'd let them report on more than they can see in SAP, I don't know, but there you go!
It's more traditionally used in database-based universes for a variety of reasons, particularly access.

Dear,
I think you have created GL as cost element.
Now you have to assign it in OKB9 - Display View "Account assignment" : Overview
In OKB9 specify weather this cost element give impact to cost center or profitability segment.
You have a cost account defined in accounts determination (OBYC). But every cost account must have a cost object associated (internal order, cost center, and so on).
You must decide what is the cost object to 'receive' the cost value on the account.
Go to OKB9, insert the account (can be plant dependant) and the cost object, then repeat GR.

Possible to report on QC using Business Objects?

Hello Geeks,
Please excuse me if I am posting this in wrong thread and help me moving it in right one.
As I am new to Sol Man, I heard that we could use Business Objects reporting on/for/with HPQC.
After going through forum links and sdn search, I found that Sol Man Adapter is used for the same.
My simple question, is, can we use HPQC for BO reporting (Universe, Webi), if yes is Sol Man the adapter which could help me to achiecve it? Also do we have any white paper, which will help me to use Business Objects as a QC reporting tool?
Thanks
P

You need someone who is very comfortable with the QC database Schema.
You will need someone who can develop reports for you on the fly. The BO piece can connect directly to the QC database just like a reporting tool like SSRS does and you can build reports and host them on MOSS or something.
That is what I have done in the past and recommend it at places as a best practice.
Knowing the QC schema inside out is the key piece and you do not need any adapter in this whatsoever.

What is the use Business objects over WAD.

Hi Folks,
what is the use Business objects over WAD.
How sap bw is going to use Business Objects.
Thanks,
Cheta.

hi,
A business object is a master record within the Measurement System, and is defined as part of the measurement class within Customizing.
Examples of business objects are wells, well completions, and measurement points.
Once the measurement object is maintained, it is saved with the business object so that when viewed, the measurement object is part of the business object.
regards,
Siddharth.

Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

Hello,
We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
Is there any document available on this?
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
this forum is for the SAP Integration Kit. Would suggest you post your question into the EIM area for Data Services.

Using Timestamp Object with day light saving time

Hi,
I am getting problem while using timestamp object with daylight saving time.
I am in 'Europe/London' time zone.
The summer time for this year starts on 30 March(last sunday) at 0200 hours.
For hour 30/03/2003 01:00, I created a date object using SimpleDateFormat and then created the timestamp object using the longvalue got from dateObject.getTime();
On printing the timestampObject.toString() it displays
30/03/2003 00:00 BST.
It seems that timestamp object uses the system timezone and I want it to be in GMT.
Could you please tell me how can I get GMT time from timestamp object.
When creating timestamp object from date

To translate Date/Timestamp objects in a controlled way use DateFormat objects. When you create a DataFormat object you can specify a Locale object which stipulates timezone information.
