Open Business Objects report with J2SE

Hi, How can I do to open a Business Objects report with J2SE aplicattion?
Thanks,

Depending on the version of Crystal Reports / Business Objects you have, there are Java libraries you can use to connect to the Business Objects Application server. I spent a lot of time on BO's website figuring it out. In the end i only needed a few libraries to connect, and ask the server to print a report. I remember that there was a way to have the server send a pdf as a binary stream, that you could then save as a pdf file and read. You can do a lot more with the SDK, to the extent of creating your own report creation tool. If you would like some specifics, i might be able to find the some of the documentation i used. It all came from the BO website.
Wish i could be more help

Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.

Automating Testing of Business Objects Reports...

I am a new user to empirix e-Tester and I need some assistance understanding how the program captures events during recording... I am trying to build a very simple test to use against the Business Objects Reporting package.
Basically, I have the following steps in this test case:
1. Login to the system. Got this working and configured.
2. Select a report from the listing of documents. This works.
3. Enter Report Criteria and submit report. This Works.
4. Filter report using drop down boxes that contain valid data filters. This doesn't work.
In step 4, I basically have a screen with 2 frames. The top frame contains drop down lists for the filters. The main frame contains the report data. When I am recording the script it works, but on playback it freezes and times out. If I look through the script, it shows the index of the item I selected in the associated list box. I looked in the address properties and it shows the events (onclick and onchange) and the onchange has the correct index... but it fails to update the data frame with the filtered report... it just times out.
Does anyone understand what I am doing much less doing wrong? I can attach some screen prints if neccessary to clarify what's going on.
TIA,
Wayne

I have run into similar issues like this in my testing. The issue is usually caused by dynamic option values. When you record a script, eTester captures the value associated with the drop down. If on playback it cannot match its recorded value to a choice in the list (remember a drop down is a restricted list) it will come back with a ?failed to set option value?? There are a couple of ways you can fix this. The first option is to expand the page, address and parameters node that that the script fails on. Find the parameters with value, number (Myval, 1) for example. Right-click the parameter and select properties. Click the ?base on index? button. The tool will now select the option by index instead of value. The other possibility is to select options-->Current Script then select General. Check the first option ?Record all list selection by index.? This will do what is described above globally when scripts are recorded. I hope this is inline with your problem and helps.

Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 and Oracle 10g

Hi all,
One of our clients has an oracle forms 6i application and Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 called from forms with host command. We are going to upgrade the forms application to 10g but would it be possible to integrate this old version of BO in Oracle 10g application (and Oracle 10g DB)
Does it exist any official spreadsheet which explains the compatibility of BO and Oracle DB?
Thank you in advance.
Alex

Options
1 upgrade the reports to 10g
2 Implement webutil and call the reports 4.1.6 using host

Is it OK to open a CR Report with JRC/Gemini which is modified by RAS SDK?

Dear all
Is it OK to open a CR Report with JRC/Gemini which is modified by RAS SDK? Especially after I use RAS SDK to change report database location.
I test it OK, but my Customer need to confirm this.
Thanks a lot.
David

RAS SDK - meaning RAS server?
There's intrinsic limitations for Crystal Reports Java (JRC for CR4E Version 2), such as database connectivity (only Java-based ones) when compared to RAS server.
But CRJ does support Crystal Reports 2008 reports within those limitations.
By the way, the new CR4E Version 2 Crystal Reports Java SDK is essentially the in-process RAS SDK - so you can make modifications using that. Note that JRC SDK (version 11.8 and below) are deprecated with CR4E Version 2), then new way si the the Crystal Reports Java SDK.

Ted Ueda

Creating Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica

I need to create Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica database. Please let me know what connections I need to create to integrate the data into Web Intelligence, Universe, Xcelsius, and Crystal Reports.
Thank you

I've just done some quick checking and I don't see a native connection type for Infomatica in Designer or Crystal. (Designer is a tool for building universes - WebI and Xcelsius both read data through a universe, Crystal can read data through a direct connection to the database or through a universe.) This means you'll probably have to set up a "generic" ODBC connection in order to connect to it.

Exsisting Crystal Reports conversion to Business Objects reports

hi,
can existing crystal reports can be converted to Business Objects reports ( Adhoc, webi, deski types ).
If yes, what versions of CR can be converted to BOBJ reports and what versions could not be.
Where woud I go to get the information and procedure to get this done.
Your help is deeply appreicated. Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Unfortunately there is no direct method or tool which can convert the existing Crystal reports to WEBI or DESKI. The best way to go about converting the reports would be to re-create the reports in the required reporting tool.
All these three reporting softwares are different in working and are designed to suit different reporting needs. So based on the requirements, you can select the tool which best suits your requirement.
I hope this helps in answering your question.

Abhishek Jain.

        B) Crystal Enterprise Report
By using Business Objects Enterprise Integration Kit - IView Template I am able to call all the reports (by using report id).but for this i need to create iviews manually.what is the best practise to publish BO reports in portal.
Regards
Sasikanth

Hi Kundan,
    If BOE is integrated with portal then the reports will be available in KM.You can use the KM Navigational iView or URL iview to the Specific location in KM,to show in portal.Kindly refer the link for further details.[BO Reports in portal|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofBOEXI3.1intotheSAPEnterprisePortal+7.x]

API Clearcase for Business Objects Reports including Webi

Is there anyone out there who has developed a linked version of the following application?
Winners of the Business Objects Community Content Contest
I'm excited to announce the winners of the content contest that we ran earlier in the summer. The contest ran for seven weeks and had five categories, each of which offered a potential grand prize of $1,000 USD, a second prize of $300 USD, and a third prize of $200 USD.
Here is the list of winners, who have already been officially notified, along with a description of their submissions:
SDK APPLICATION
Grand prize - Sunil Abraham - "Bridge between Rational ClearCase version control and Business Object Enterprise"
This tool enables updating the location of report files on the BOE server from the ClearCase repository without using the web interface. The tool is a stand alone application developed in VB.NET using BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK and the ClearCase Automation Library (COM Interface). The user selects the ClearCase repository and the change set that needs to be updated on the BOE server. The tool queries BOE and returns the locations of the files to be updated. The user can then update the server location with the click of a button.

You cannot use query builder to update the object. You need to create a jsp page or java class and add the code to perform the action. The code should:
1. logon to enterprise
2. query for the objects to get InfoObjects.
3. loop through each object and update title using setTitle()
4. commit
5. logoff

Open Purchase Orders Report with Confirmation Dates

Hi Friends,
I have searched a lot for the following need and I have found nothing. I was wondering if there ia any report that I can show the scheduled delivery dates from a Purchase order. I have seen in ME2L that by placing EINT in scope of list I can see the schedule lines. However, if there is a new delivery date due to supplier confirmation that have been placed in PO with the indicator AB this is not appeared. At the same time if there is a partial quantity that has already been delivered then it does not appear as well. So, I need a report with all the scheduled delivery line plus the open quantity.
Many Thanks in advance,
Ioannis

It is very strange. Because what I see is that in this report the confirmation date is not appeared although the schedule line is appeared. Then If I go to change the confirmation date in PO for second time then it is appeared. I have no idea why this is happening

Integartion of Business objects explorer with ABAP ALV

Hello all,
We have a requirement to integrate one of our applications with business objects explorer. The complete details is as listed below:
1. Our application basically collects feedback provided by users and then displays an ALV with all the feedback ratings received for a topic.
2. It summarizes to the user the average rating received, number of 1star ratings , 2 star ratings etc.,
3. Instead of showing this in the ALV format we have requirement where we want to upload this data into the Business Objects explorer so that the user has a more user-friendly and intutive display of the same data rather than in a ALV.
Any inputs on how we can trigger business objects explorer from ABAP code and pass the data in the internal table used for ALV display to it would be very helpful.
Warm Regards,
Naveen M

HI Naveen,
there has been a demo of this by Enterprise Geeks during TechED 2009 and the code is posted on their website.
the other option is to export the data to Excel and then use BusinessObjects Explorer in the cloud for example.

can You Help me?

Hi Gabriel,
I think with enough patience one could get the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard to create a DataPlugin that would work for your file, but the resulting code generated by the wizard is not easily understandable, and it would not have correctly devined the sampling rate from your file format. I've written a DataPlugin from scratch which correctly reads the data snippet you sent over. I included an implicit time channel so that you could easily see the time values inferred from the "SampleRate" line. The implicit time channel rerquires all the lines in the ASCII file to be parsed in order to figure out the correct channel length (line 58), so if you have large data files you should comment out the time channel lines (44, 45, 58) and use just the implict time information already encoded in the data channel waveform properties (for faster file indexing). Unless your files are verry large, though, I think you'll like the DataPlugin as it is.
