Options to create BIAR file in Business objects 4.1

What are the options to create .biar file in 4.1. Business objects used to have Import Wizard in 3.1, now its being eliminated. Any alternatives now?

Hi,
You can create a .BIAR file on BI 4.1, i do it all the time, using .bat and .properties files.
.bat file :
%DRIVELETTER%
cd "%BOPATH%\win32_x86\jre\bin"
java -jar "%BOPATH%\java\lib\biarengine.jar" "%BACKUPPATH%\Sauvegardes.properties"
.properties file for juste save public file and dependencies (for exemple) :
exportBiarLocation=%BACKUPPATH%/Sauvegardes.biar
action=exportXML
userName=Administrator
password=XXXXXXXXXXXX
CMS=localhost:6400
authentication=secEnterprise
exportDependencies=true
exportQuery=select * from ci_infoobjects where SI_ancestor = 23
exportQueriesTotal=1
But you can used other query, and more than 1.
Hope it help you.

Create BIAR File to Store Sever Configuration Back Up ?

Hi Everybody,
Post Installation of Data Services 4.2 SP2 on Separate Unix Host pointing to existing CMS of BOBI 4.1 SP2 ( also on Unix), we want to
"Add Node" i.e. DS Unix Host xyz should be visible at CMC Home > Servers > Node. Ideally we should have server configuration backup in place
before and after this task ' Add Node ' as per several SAP resources.
Admin Guide for BO 4.1 SP2 does have " Back Up Server Settings On Unix " - Page 489 : Task 5 ::
    " When prompted, specify the location and name of a BIAR file that you want to back up the server configuration settings to, and press Enter.
      A summary page displays the information that you have provided."
    One of the prompt post execution of serverconfig.sh
                        "    * Specify BIAR File *
                              Enter the full path of the BIAR file to store the server configuration backup. ""
However, as usual, this Admin Guide and Other SAP Resources seems to be silent on " Creating BIAR File exclusively for Back Up Purpose ".
There's many links which talks about Using Promotion Management to Import BIAR file for restore purpose and there's one article below which curses SAP ( probably with valid points!!) about missing backup functionalities   in BO 4.0 Backup & Recovery in BO 4.0. As per this link and based on common sense approach LCM is meant for Change promotion and it was never meant to be a back up solution !!
My Q Is :
                For BO 4.1 SP2 -
                Can I create BIAR File exclusively to store the Server Configuration Back Up ( so that later this can be used to restore Server settings)
                without Promotion Management Tool in BO 4.1 SP2 ? Alternate option of   ' biarengine.jar' is SAP supported approach ?
                Can anyone pl provide further details on " How To Create a BIAR File To Store Server Config Back Up ? "
                At this point - we just want to store the Server Configuration Backup in separate BIAR File on the same server !
Pl. share your knowledge / suggest the work around of creating BIAR file exclusively for Back up purpose.
Thanks,
Regards,
- Ishan

Hi Seb,
Thanks for the inputs.
However,
I had referred this note earlier as well and like other resources it is only mentioning to point the BIAR
file in Task 5 ( just like admin guide !!) :
   i.e.
       " When prompted, specify the location and name of a BIAR file where to backup the server configuration settings to and press Enter "
And once again : conveniently silent about the Original Q I have posted : " What is the SAP
Recommended process to create a separate BIAR file in the First place which can then be pointed to
store this server config backup ? " !!
Thanks,
Regards,

How to create a universe in Business Object from BW

Dear Memebers
I need your help, I'm trying to create a report in business object using a cube as datasource, but when execute it does not appears the text, for example costumer 1000, his name is coca-cola.
Does anyone help me?, maybe i does not set something
Thanks a lot
Ariel

Hi Ariel,
Not sure what BW is? If this is not related to using a SDK you may want to post your question in the Business Objects enterprise or Crystal Report Designer Forum.
Thank you

Need Ideas for creating and using Custom Business Object

Hello Guys,
I am developing an application which uses a Request->Approve->Create approach for creating Purchase documents.
Now I am a little puzzled about how to make use of the Business Object BUS2014.
The application I am developing has its own unique 'Request Number' (say REQID) which will point to the Request for Creation of a purchase order.
Whenever a Request is created (from a Z-Tcode) a workflow needs to be initiated and it has to be sent to the approver.
The Purchase Document will be created once the approver approves.
Now my confusion here is, if I use BUS2014, the object will be instantiated only during the final step of the workflow. But I need an instance during the beginning of the Requestor ->Approver negotiations as I am playing with events. These events needs an Object_key.
How should I proceed here?
Should I create a new logical Business Object like ZPOREQ where I have the above mentioned REQID as the key?
And should I have an attribute of type BUS2014 inside the custom BO?
How will I make use of the methods like BUS2014.Create etc which I may need to create the purchase document?
Any small direction will be a huge help for me to get used to this wilderness.

Hi,
You should continue with the ABAP class idea. The business objects are kind of "obsolete" already, and if there is a need to create a new "object", ABAP classes are the way to go. Business objects are still useful, but I normally use them only when an existing standard business object fulfills the requirements (possibly with slight additions) which is almost never.
From my point of view you can use the existing class. Depending on the circumstances I normally have just one class that I use for both workflow and the possible other functionality that is required, but you have to understand that I have this goal in my mind already when starting the development process. As your class most probably has many useful features already (such as you have the header and item data as attributes etc. (if I understood correctly?), these are also useful in in workflow (class attributes will be available in WF container etc.).
If you are hesitant to use the same class directly in your workflow, you could also create a new class ZCL_REQUEST_FOR_WF (with the workflow interface), and then simply add your existing class ZCL_WF_REQUEST as an attribute to this new class. Then this new workflow class could include the pure workflow stuff, and your existing class the non-workflow stuff. But this most probably will not make much sense - just implement the if_workflow interface in your existing class (this is just one possibility that you might consider.)

How to automate the process of creating BIAR files

Dear All,
Is there any way I can automate the process of creating BIAR files from the repository (Crystal / Webi reports)?

Hi
please check the administration guide for BO XI 3.1 (look in the chapter BIAR command line tool)
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf]
You can generate BIAR files from the command line and thus automate this at OS level.

Hi How do we create Methods inside the Business objects of Z

Hi Abapers,
                    How do we create Methods inside the Business objects (z objects) and how *** an import parameter or export parameter to be defined for the new Methods.
Regards
Bhaskar Rao.M

Hi Bhaskar,
that ´s not difficult.
Open your Bus.Obj. in SWO1 with CHANGE/EDIT
Click on the "Methods" header line and then use the button for "Create".
If you want to add the method on basis of a function module, choose next in the next pop up. Then the system will offer you the ex/import parameter from the function module. So this is a really simple way.
If you don´t have a FM, it is a little bit more difficult.
Choose No on the quetion about a FM, fill in the next pop up methode name (no blanks allowed).
Dialogue is for user related method (call screen...) synchronous for methods which have to give back a result directly in to the workflow.
After completing the screen the method will be displayed as new method at the end of method list. Now add parameters (first click on the method name, then choose parameter button, same functionality to add program to the method).
Programm:
Code snip:
BEGIN_METHOD ZWFCHECKMIRO CHANGING CONTAINER.
DATA:
      ZBELNR TYPE RBKP-BELNR,
      ZGJAHR TYPE RBKP-GJAHR,
      RESULT TYPE HRP1001-ISTAT,
      BELNR TYPE BKPF-BELNR,
      GJAHR TYPE BKPF-GJAHR,
      BUKRS TYPE BKPF-BUKRS.
to import parameter
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zbelnr' ZBELNR.
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zgjahr' ZGJAHR.
*(or SWC_GET_TABLE)
here add the functionality of your method!
to export parameter
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Result' RESULT.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Belnr' BELNR.
*(or SWC_SET_TABLE)
!!! Important: naming convention!!! Use same writing of parameter names in
PARAM area (button PARAMETER) and here in code.
To use your method, change it to implemented after adding your code.
-> Edit -> Change release status -> object type component -> into implemented
(Sorry , have a german screen here, possibly terms are a little bit different.
Hope this helps a little bit.!

Create biar file with command line for link universe

Hi
I am using boxi 3.1 and I am trying to create 2 biar files with the command line
One file for " main" universe and it's reports and another is for a link universe and it's reports
The problem that on "main " biar file that been created , the link universe and it's reports also appear in it. Even so in the queries only the relevant objects are selected
I try to remove from the properties file the parameter 'exportDependencies=true ', and then when I check the xml of the biar I so that the link universe and it's report no longer appear. But when I importing the file I receive the error message 'Required dependencies not found on target system : '[ARgp0DCiBRBOsL3EHYQaHBY, AdfkNagAE59Nsbazh40nwTU]'
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do , in order to see in the main biar bust the main objects?

I have done it before on BOXI R2 with the IW, and it works fine
But any how, this is the way that we have to work with, since it is part of a customer product and the link universe and it's reports is an additional part of the product.
So is there a way that I can pull just the main universe and it's reports?

ImportWizard failed to create BIAR file

Hi,
We have installed BOXI 3.0 three weeks ago and so far it's worked fine, especially for scheduling java programs that we wrote.
One of this java program for which we have created a scheduler running every night, is able to create a BIAR file (only with reports and universes) of our BOXI 3.0 server.
This java program works and the BIAR files are created correctly with all the reports and universes every night.
This morning I wanted to created a BIAR file (with the full content of our BOXI 3.0 server) using the Import Wizard tool and unfortunately it didn't work. So I tried to export only reports and universes with the Import Wizard tool like my java program does, but it didn't work either.
Here is this error in my Import Wizard log file : "Error, Failed to write out object IDs map to ids file". But, last week I created a BIAR file successfully with the Import Wizard tool !!!
Any ideas ?

I think the ids file is an xml file the IW creates inside a biar file. It could signify the account running the IW doesn't have access to the location of the biar? maybe a full disk?
If you can't find a resolution out here try opening a message with the deployment team.

Tim

Getting error while testing "create" operation of a business object!

Hi Experts,
   I have created a composition application. This contains only one business object called Reservation.
   It has a structure containing following fields:
<UL>
   <LI> Key      -- Key field
   <LI>Reservation_No   -- Key field
   <LI>Create_Date
   <LI>Create_Time
   <LI> Status
   <LI>Source
   <LI>createdAt
   <LI>createdBy
   <LI>modifiedAt
   <LI>modifiedBy
   </UL>
   Here following fields are created by system.
<UL>
   <LI>Key
   <LI>createdAt
   <LI>createdBy
   <LI>modifiedAt
   <LI>modifiedBy
</UL>
   The system also created many operations on the business object. Some on them are mentioned below.
<UL>
<LI>create
<LI>delete
<LI>findAll
</UL>
<UL> <LI>I built and deployed the business object. When I test the service and create a new entry in the business object I got the error below:
</LI>
</UL>
<UL> <LI>
<I>Failed to save BusinessObjectNode element: User XXX has no create authorization for object ID </I>
</LI>
</UL>
<UL> <LI>
How do i resolve this?

Create URL to specific Business Object for a CRM using Portal integration

Hello CRM Community,
we're using the CRM Portal integration. To update our business users with tasks we use the standard functionality to send Alerts using the function module SALRT_CREATE_API. It allows to specify a URL that is added to the E-Mail created in the alert using the Table parameter IT_ACTIVITIES. This URL should be filled with a direct link to the business object that must be changed. For the stand-alone CRM there is the static Method CREATE_URL of the class CL_CRM_WEB_UTILITY to build such an URL. But I was not able to find a similar class/method/function module when the CRM is used integrated in the portal. Has anyone a simmilar requirement and was able to solve it?
Best regards
Gregor

Option for Creating Photshop File in Premiere Pro CS6 is grayed out

Inside of Premiere Pro CS6 (Windows version), when I try to select File > New > Photoshop File... the option is grayed out. I have the Project panel selected and have Photoshop CS6 running when I attempt this. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I appreciate the feedback. I did solve the problem. I was very wary of reinstalling software since I have so many 3rd party plug-ins that I would have to reinstall that would take forever. I notice that in After Effects it has a similar command File > New > Adobe Photoshop file, it was NOT grayed out but errored out when I tried to run it. It turned out that my Photoshop files were not being recoginized properly in Windows. The PS icon would not show up in the name column of Windows Explorer, although the Type woudl be correct. So if you clicked on a PSD file it would not open in PS unless you opened directly from PS. So I associated one PSD file in Windows Explorere with Photoshop CS6, which made the ICONS show up which solved all my problems in AE and Premiere. Easy fix, once you search the entire universe back and forth and think about it for a bit. (:
