Firstly Open LDAP is not officially supported as an LDAP type, due to the wide range of customisation available, it makes it difficult to configure with BO products.
It is important to have an LDIF of a user and a group and to use this when setting LDAP attributes in the CMC. You can use "SAP Note 1253052 - LDAP Attributes Explained" to do this.
Did you check the "New users will be created" radio Button?
Are the group members being specified with the full DN (posixgroups will only have CN)?
Please also review SAP Notes 1203851, 1199496, 1257758 for related solutions to your error.

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.

Problem connecting SAP IS-U (ECC 6.0) with Business Objects Edge 3.1

Dear all,
I'm trying to connect to a SAP ECC 6.0 System (SAP IS-U) with Business Objects 3.1 (for example with Crystal Reports). I have installed the SAP RFC SDK on the ECC server and have imported these transport files:
Open SQL reporting objects
InfoSet reporting objects
Row Level Security Tool
Security functions
Cluster Definition Editor
But CR keeps returning this error "You do not have the necessary rights to design reports against the SAP System". I've read a few threads about that problem here. I couldn't find a specific "ABAP transport" - did I miss to import anything else?
Is there any way to check whether the transport files work as they are supposed to? Like the MDX parser connection test for SAP Business Warehouse.
Any other suggestions?
thanks in advance!

Hi,
I read about these authorization tasks in some other thread, but didn't know what to do.
But now I found the auth. object in the transaction SU21.
Since I cannot edit SAP_ALL I created another profile in transaction PFCG (just in case someone else is still messing with that problem) and added all activities of ZSEGREPORT ans S_RFC.
After that I added the profile to the users in question.
Now everything works like a charm.
Thanks alot!

Integration with Business Objects

How does XCelsius 2008 integrate with Business Objects XI R3?
We used WeBI to generate reports. Will XCelsius be a part of WeBI or will it have a separate interface?
Will a separate Server be required?
Regards,
Karthik Mohan

Karthik,
You usually use Webi to display very details reports.
Xcelsius is used for a more aggregated view of the data.
Most often users will create their visualizations in Xcelsius (charts, maps etc.) and then use a URL button that passes parameters from their Xcelsius model (driven by the users selection) to open a more detailed report in Webi.
Hope this helps!

EPM Connector with Business Objects 4.0

Hi experts,
Has anyone been able to install the EPM connector on BPC MS7.5 to use with Business Objects 4.0?
The instructions in the BPC manuals all seem to refer to Business Objects XI and don't work for us. I was not able to find any updated documentation.
Thanks
Sabine

Hi Sabine,
I have found a guide on SAP BusinessObjects EPM Connector 7.5. Please find the link below. As the doc is a bit old, I think it doesn't covers BI 4.0.

Reporting of recursive tables with Business Objects 6.1

Post Author: pk7
CA Forum: Publishing
Can anyone tell us how to traverse recursive tables with Business Objects 6.1? For example, let's say you have an Employee table with Emp_ID, Name, Manager_ID. Like so:
Emp_ID Name   Manager_ID
1           Jeff           4
2          Grace        3
3           Stacey      1
4           Wayne      null
The task is to report the hierarchy of employees starting with one employee (e.g. Grace) and showing who ALL of her superiors are. Desired result would be:
Grace
      Stacey
            Jeff
                   Wayne
We have seen the expanation the seems to require the duplication of a table but we prefer not to have the same data stored in multiple tables.
Thx!

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response. However, what I meant by client installation is exactly as what you have said below.
I start the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Setup, go to custom install, which shows up the following options-
Client Components
Web Tier Components
Server Components
Database Access
etc. etc.
Initially I unselected all, drilled down Client Components and just installed the Developer Components. But the code used to fail with an InvalidCast exception when we used to cast an InfoObject to a Report as following-
Report report = (Report)infoObjects[1];
This code used to work fine with earlier installations of business objects.
This happened with all 3 of us who installed just the Dev components. To get over this we installed the whole Client Components and the above problem got resolved.
And now we realize that even the whole Client Comp is not enough because it gives the casting problem while doing the destination stuff.

Insert or Update data in SAP with Business Objects?

Hi all,
I am new to Business Objects world with my little expertise in Crystal Reports and Xclesius.
Could you please clarify me that is there any solution or technology or Product of Business Objects which not only make impressive dashboards and analyze the data but also can communicate with back end SAP R/3 to save or update data.
We are actually analyzing our Client requirements in which there is a need of Dashboards as well as some custom configurations that needs to be saved somewhere in the SAP system in order to make decisions in future.
Our back end system is SAP BW. One possibility is to use Adobe Flex as a base architecture with BSP and BW but we are more concerned with what BOBJ provides.
Looking forward for your suggestions.
Kind Regards

WebElements 2.46 with business Objects XI3.1 SP4?

Hi Guys,
We recently upgraded our Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.8 to Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4. When we try to view WebElements Report via CR2008 or via Infoview it basically shows just the HTML code behind that report. We followed the WebElements 2.46 guide to configure the BusinessObjects Enterprise server to allow pass-through HTML but it's still the same.
Just wondering if anyone out there is running WebElements on Business Objects XI 3.1 SP4? Or if anyone has a similar issue?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Adnan

hi Adrian,
there were some issues with webelements in the latest service pack of xi 3. this was due to changes in the xi 3 dhtml viewer.
if you've got a test bed with the latest version up still, please try the latest version of webelements [here|Crystal Reports webElements]. that version is .247 and has been tested on xi 3 (latest service pack) and bi 4.0.
the 246 version will not work on bi 4.0. we have no customer feedback for webelements on bi 4.0 as this will be the first release for 4.0. there were recent changes in a fix pack of bi 4.0 which delayed the release of webelements by quite a bit...sorry for that.
there are also a couple of new functions in 247 too.
i hope this helps,
jamie

Issue with EP KM integration with Business Objects

Hi,
We have integrated BOBJ with EP KM and are able to view the Business object repository (Inbox, MyFavorites & Root Folder) in KM.
The issue is when a webi document is added to My Favourites in Business object Infoview, the same is not reflecting in the EP KM. It takes around 30 mins to show the latest content in KM
Any clue on this.? While configuring BOBJ repository manager in KM, we dont specify any cache or pull mechanism to fetch the latest webi documents from BOBJ. Am I missing some configuration from portal end.?
Thanks,
Siva

Any clue on this. I am still facing this issue and haven't got any work around.

I have found my own solution, if only temporary, until another Java update clobbers me…
I followed the Java instructions to delete Java 7 at http://java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
Then I followed the Apple instructions to get back to Java 6 at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559, which involves using the Terminal application.
Then I closed Safari, and relaunched. It is now back to where it has been for the past year, working!

Problem with Business Objects Enterprice XI 3.1

Re: Redeploy war files XI 3.1?
but the error persists
Any idea??
Architecture

Thanks in advance

the version you have appear to be XI3.1 RTM, which will not be compatible with Win2012.
You can see what's compatible with what in the PAM (Platfroms Support guide) here :

Problem With Business Object and printing job

Hello,
We are encountering a problem with the application "Business Objects FINANCE", and we would need your help quickly.
In the application , itu2019s impossible to print Consolidated Subsidiaries nor the Securities Held. If we try so, the application freezes and we can't do anything but killing the application via the task manager.
Though, other states can be printed without problem.
We tried on several different PCs, and the problem occured equally on each one.
The version installed is 10.5, and we can do any tests that you think would be useful to diagnose problem.
Our society is AUBAY SA, and our credential to enter in your support website are : S0005386617
In attachment youu2019ll find a screenshot of the event viewer from the server where the application is install.
Thanks in advance for your answer,
best regards.

check the export parameters of the event triggering workflow.
If there is a problem, try instantiating the object in your wf based on the key.
Also check if the wf is able to import the data.
regards,
Sandeep Josyula

Problem with Business object attributes in UWL Workitem description

Hi All,
I have developed a workflow which sends the workitem for two level approvals. Once the workflow is triggered workitem sent to the respective user for approval. When user opens the workitem in inbox he can see all the data which comes from the 'Z' Business object in R/3 and he can approve the same. Everything works fine when this process happens in R/3 system.
The problem comes when user opens this workitem in UWL or this workitem is sent to user mail ID executing 'SWN_SELSEN' report, all the attributes of the business object are displayed in the workitem description except 2 . These are the Minimum annual salary(GRMIN) and Maximum annual salary(GRMAX) fields from 'T510N' table.
Regards,
Vaishali.
Edited by: vaishali rautray on Dec 24, 2008 7:52 AM

Hi Saumya,
Thanks for the quick reply.
For storing the Minimum and maximum annual salary values I have created two attributes in the business object which are referring to database fields. T510N is a customizing table. I could see the values for the same, if I test the Business Object or Trigger the w/f in R/3 and check the approval work item in R/3. These values disappears only in case of web interfacing i.e. If I send the same work item to outlook mail or check it in UWL.
I had checked the same and thought if there is any problem with BO or some other processing takes place before these values are retrieved. But I wonder why this happens only if I process the work item outside R/3 system?
Regards,
Vaishali.
