Optimize Business Objects Query

I have a simple query, which takes approximately 1 minute to return.
Select SI_NAME, SI_METRICS From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_DESCRIPTION = 'Web Intelligence Processing Server'
All I am actually after is a specific metric (numConnections). Is there a way I can specify this field to reduce the number of records returned (as opposed to returning all metrics)?
E.g. Select SI_NAME, SI_METRICS.numConnections From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_DESCRIPTION = 'Web Intelligence Processing Server'
Note: The above example does not work, but I presume the answer will be something along those lines?

Thanks Adam, though I'm still a bit confused, because the below statement (which selects a specific field) appears to work?
select SI_PROCESSINFO.SI_FILES from CI_INFOOBJECTS where si_instance = 0

Business object query panel

hi all,
iam new to crystal reports.
can u guide me how to create query in business object query panel in crystal reports
using two table in universes.
Regards.
Vijender

If you already have the universe exported to server then create new connection in crystal and select universe and connect to server and select the universe from server. Once you select the universe it popsup query panel, here you can drag what all the fields that you want to display in crystal and also you can add filters in the query panel. Once you create the query add that query to crystal and run the report.

Java plugin for business objects not found. When trying to modify a business objects query, it says a plugin is required but none are found. What do I need to do?

I downloaded firefox 4.0 and attempted to use business objects. A screen comes up saying that a plugin is required but when I click on the screen, it say's no plugin is found. I am using the latest version of Java but it seems that the plugin is not there.

There is workaround.
Enter “about:config” in the browser’s address bar.
Search for “html5.parser.enable”.
Double-click the row to set the value to “false” (row should also go bold to indicate change).
There is a possibility that it may cause HTML5 compatibility issues down the road but it solved the issue.

Business Objects query filter issue

Hi all,
In BO reporting, it is not displaying all the rows in the report when a query filter is applied.
The same report works when filter is applied on the report level.User needs to apply filter on query level in order to create several tabs or reports on the same query.
Please help me to overcome from this issue.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ajay
Check the "Limit size of result set" property of your universe,
1. Launch Universe Designer & open/import your universe.
2. Go to File --> Parameters
3. Select "controls" tab, Under "Query Limits", select/deselect the options based on your requirements
4. Export it to repository.
Note: Here you can "Limit size of result set", By default it is set to 5000 rows.
Hope this may be the cause

Business Objects Query Builder - application server for data connections

Hi experts,
I am trying to flush out all instances where we have universes with connections pointed to the wrong application server. I was hoping to use query builder to show me the application server being used for all connections (metadata.dataconnection)
Is this possible?
Edited by: Khaled McGonnell on Nov 3, 2010 6:11 PM

Hi Srinivas,
I had tried SELECT * already : )
The application server is the server on which the BI system you are connecting to is located. You have to define this when you create the connection in Universe Designer.
You can see the application server for "connections if you use the following query:
select si_server from ci_systemobjects where si_kind = 'Connection'
However, these are not the connections used by universes. These connections are from logged in users. Any ideas?

Business Objects is not returning all rows from Query

We set the rowcount to 1000000 and the business objects query only returns 16,960 rows. We then uncheck the limit for the rowcount and the first run of the query returns 65,535. The subsequent run of the query returns all the rows which is greater than 65,535. We are on release 6.1A of business objects and selecting from Microsoft SQLServer 2005 in 2000 compatablility mode. We noticed that the rowcount being sent to SQLServer is replacing the set number with the 65,535 the first time the query is sent and subsiquent queries have the correct rowcount set. What would be causing the rowcount to be reset and how can it be fixed?

Calling DLLs or Java from Business Objects

Post Author: nmarks
CA Forum: Other
I'm a newbie so please go easy!
Is it possible to invoke a DLL or Java bean when opening a Business Objects query or report?
I've just started working for a very large insurance company in the UK.
Each month the company produces reports for the Directors, for the Auditors and Industry Regulators.
Most of the results that go into the reports are produced using an extremely expensive application called Prophet. It dumps out files with data in.
Ideally the company would like to upload the results from Prophet into Business Objects and have nice numbers show on a report the directors can understand.
The problem is that lots of fiddly adjustment calculations have to be done to the data coming from Prophet before it can be shown on the BO report.
I have proposed that the adjustment calculations are done using a VB DLL which will be called automatically by Business Objects when the user wants to see the report. Can this be done?
Can Business Objects call a DLL?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Nick.

Hello,
I think it can. At least I have done it with a DLL is compiled by Delphi. You may read the CR Developer's Help for more info. If you have installed the Developer Edition, its location is something like this: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11\Developer Files\Help\En

Bex3.5 query to Business Objects

Hello experts.
Can anyone tell me on the possibilities of porting the Bex 3.5 queries directly to Business Objects.
This is without upgrading to BI 7.0 queries.
Thanks
Mrinalini

Hi Mrinalini,
I am agree with Shiva for data up gradation in BOE You can use webi. XI 3.1 and SAP BEX .
Best performance optimizations are done on both SAP BW backend on SP5 and on BOXI 3.1 on Service pack 2 Fixpack 2.1.
For Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports) even if you have built them with the Query Designer 3.5. in BEX Query analyzer who support BOE 3.1 , You can use your stuff for best Query writing , design for the same !!

Authorisation in Business Objects Explorer Infospaces created on BEx query

Hello,
We have installed Business Objects Explorer, created Universe on BEx query and created a Explorer Infospace on that universe. everything works fine but the authorisations created for the user in BEx query are not taken into consideration when I login using SAP username "leveraging" SSO.
Is Explorer not designed to consider authorisations in BEX query?
Whats happening during Indexing of an Infospace? Will the system save the data in Business Objects repository from the source of the data?
Thanks in advance.
/Suman

Hi Suman,
You are right , Explorer is not designed to leverage Authorisations in SAP BW.
Polestar is indexing data and keeping it out side of BW. Although you can log in with SSO , it doesn't check the authorization according to BW, it shows everything indexed.
You can have a workaround if the case is simple such as;
Suppose you have 3 region , you can create 3 infospaces and give these authorizations to users from CMC.
But if you really want to use all features of authorization in BW , it is impossible for now.

Business Query (or Business Objects) transparent sort

Post Author: waldopepper
CA Forum: Older Products
We're using Business Query 6.5.1 to insert data into Excel and we've been doing for a while using a SQL 2000 database and making use of the useful 'transparent sort' feature that lets you order the query results by fields not actually in the selection.We've just started a similar project using a different database (same server) and whenever we create queries for this new database, the transparent sort button is disabled with Business Queries.The help file states: "Transparent sorts are only available if the database at your site supports them"
It's definitely the database that is preventing this - we've used the same ODBC connection, Universe etc as the other DB that does work, just changing the DB it's accessing and it doesn't work when we switch databases to our new one.Does anyone have any idea what is preventing this? User permissions/rights, collation type etc?thanksw

Hi Denis,
Thanks for your response. I am aware that BO v5 is an outdated software but my client is still using it.
I tried to replicate the BusinessQuery issue by using my citrix profile but I also got the same error whereas my colleague didn't have any BQ issues with his profile.
I assume that the citrix team had installed Business Objects v5 in shared environment on WTS long ago and all Citrix BO users will access Business query module with their own profiles. But the BOMAIN.key file didn't copied into shared folder which is under Business Objects installable folder and Citrix team had copied it at some local drive for some reason
I asked the Citrix team to copy the BOMAIN.key file to affected user profile. Waiting to hear user response on output.
Kind Regards,

Business Objects - Siebel Integration kit - Generate Query

Hello
Thank you for reading this post.
I am designing reports using Crystal reports 2008 from Siebel CRM using the BO - Siebel integration kit. With the help of kit, all the business components (BC) of Siebel are exposed as tables in Crystal reports and can be fetched in the query to run a report.
When I run a report from Account BC, I am getting multiple records in the report. When I checked the SQL query from Siebel server, I found that there is a cartesian product in the query due to which duplicate records are coming.
Is there any way to modify the query which is generated by the integration kit??
When I discussed the issue with the Siebel Configuration team, they suggested that there should be a way to choose links in the BC. Can you please suggest a way to expose links in BC??
Waiting for reply..
Thanks
Devesh

Hi Devesh,
     In Business Objects Enterprise Integration for Siebel document, Chapter 6 Using Crystal Reports with Siebel, there is content talking about:
     Linking tables in reports, and introduce how to link between parent and child Business Components, how to use the parent's multi-value field, etc, etc.
     Could you please have a look at the content there and let us know if it contain the information you need?
     Business Objects Enterprise Integration for Siebel document is available here:

Can Business Object Access Queries from the BI query designer?

Hi Gurus,
I've started working with BOBJ and honestly I'm not impressed with it's functionalities, specially with the report layouts (SO many limitations!!). Anyway I was wondering if Business Objects can access BI Queries in the Query Designer since I can do most of the manupilation in Query Designer that I need. Thank You in advance and any help will be most certainly appreciated.
- Kit

Hello KIT,
Also, look at the below Blog for xcelsius where he directly consumes the BEx query the QUERY_VIEW_DATA Web service out of the BW system. This is one way to approach the BEx query:
