People Soft Universe Design?

We are currently working on designing a universe for student records data based out of a People Soft Operational system.
Is there anyone out there who has already done this? can you share your experience with us?
Looking for design ideas on how to link up so many tables.

Hi,
the documentation is lacking in this area.
I had a qu9ick look in the data access guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_data_acs_en.pdf
and IDT user guide: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_data_acs_en.pdf
and there are no specific references to BPC integration.
That said, if you are using the BW NW version of BPC - i'm sure this would be exposed via a BEx query over a cube, or via a relational connection using BW SQL driver to a cube.
however, if you are using the MSAS (MS SQL SRV) version of BPC, that would be using the XMLA connectory to an IIS data pump on the db server.
you might want to ask this question on their respective forums: SAP Planning and Consolidation, version for SAP NetWeaver
and SAP Planning and Consolidation, version for the Microsoft platform
best of luck.

URGENT: Connecting BPC 10.0 with BI4.0, with Universe Design Tool

Hi all,
I have quite an urgent question that I need some guidance from all you SAP gurus on!
Is it possible to connect BPC 10 to BI4 using Universe Design Tool? We are under the impression very few people have connected these pieces of software together, if at all. It is very important to a Project I am on at the moment as to whether it is possible so any advice would be very much appreciated.
So far we have done..
Software is installed - Universe Design Tool (UDT)
Logins have been created for BPC 10
Opened up UDT and go through the Wizard;
Connection name is BPC CCONNECTION
Select data access driver: Business Planning and Consolidation OLE DB for OLAP
Enter the server address for BPC 10 (This is the URL that we log in to the BPC Admin Console)
After we try to continue, we get the error as follows:
[Image of error|http://s9.postimage.org/pxk8raci7/UDT_Screen1.jpg]
If anyone could give any kind of advice I would really apprecaite it!
Nick

Hi Nick,
If you are trying to connect BPC 10 NW to BI 4.0 then I have some suggestions. We did this in our SAP EPM 10 training. In the Admin go to the model tab , select your model and edit it. Select the check box Use as a source. This creates a transient query in the backend.. Then we designed the connection in IDT (Information Design tool). Login to IDT and create a new project. Now Right click on the project and create a new OLAP connection. Select SAP BICS as driver selection. Provide the server details and user aunthetication. Select specify a cube in connection option. Now You can select your model <MODELNAME>_B folder and u will see one query with /CPMB/TQ_XXXX. Test your connection and publish your connection to repository . Now you can use this connection for creating Interactive Analysis (Webi Report). I am not sure about the reporting client you wish to use.
Hope this Helps
Regards

Universe Design - Linking two columns in a table to a subordinate table

Post Author: bradwist
CA Forum: Semantic Layer and Data Connectivity
I hope this is the right forum to ask a question about Universe Design. If not, please redirect me. Thanks.
I have a question on a universe design that I am trying to implement. I'll try to simplify to what I really am focusing on here. I've got a table, PersonRelationship, that defines a relationship between two people (Person1, Person2). Both Person entities have a set of data that are contained in the PersonTable. I'm trying to set up a universe design that allows the PersonRelationship table to join to the Person table twice, for Person1 and Person2 (fields are Person1Id and Person2Id respectively).
(below is a poor attempt to draw the table relationships)
Person (table)          PersonRelationship (Table)                  OtherData (table)
PersonId (PK)          RelationshipId (PK)                             OtherDataId (PK)
               ^----
Person1Id (FK)
         ^----
Person2Id (FK)
                               OtherDataId (FK) -
^
I then would like to build a query in Web-I that allows me to query against certain parameters for both Person1 and Person2. For instance, I may want information that reflects when Person1 is male and Person2 is female.
Is there a way to establish this relationship within the universe without having to create two physical tables?
Thanks.

With further information, I believe the answer to this is Aliasing the table. But when I create and Alias of the person table, it doesn't show up in WebI. I only see the original. Not sure what the problem is.

People Soft Vs SAP

Hi all,
There is one argument i need to justify to my company...HOW sap is more stronger than PEOPLESOFT.
My company already having all the modules into SAP except the HR which is currently running in People soft...
Therre are other People soft company guys too here...
I need some strong points to eliminate them in this argument...
On what ways Sap Hr is more stronger than People soft hr???
They are arguing what ever sap can do we also can do...
"You guys have only Recrutitiment management stuff ->infotype 4xxx series
But we have campus mangement , University management also....Whihc you dont have
People soft is introduced years back so lot many cosultatns available where sap Hr new so very few available...bla bla bla..etc..
So People soft is more stronger....".
Can any one help me to get some good points to say Where SAP is more stronger compare to other ERP's
Sas

But we have campus mangement , University management also....Whihc you dont have
That's incorrect!
You might get this info from [here |http://www.sap.com/about/newsroom/press.epx?pressid=2178] and [here|http://www.sap.com/industries/highered/pdf/BWP_Campus_Mgt.pdf].
Although they can have still valid point and argue with the costing of SAP HR vs Peoplesoft HR. But sometimes/often only meeting the purpose cannot reach you beyond the lines. You have to keep your mind open for future prospects as well. SAP HR have better authorization and compatibly compared to People soft. For any client future integration should be a key evaluation point with leaving the costing constraint behind. If I would a Client I would certainly Go with the SAP HR because I Want to ensure the proper solution is made and support. Your consulting partner must be choose wisely who can provide proper end-user training as well to SAP HR

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.

Didier

Row level security at universe design level

Hi,
I am creating a Universe layer on top of non SAP OLAP cube ( from MS Analysis Services 2005 ) .
My concern is that can we maintain the row level or data level security at universe design level or if i am using that universe in creation of WEBI report so is there any possiblity to maintain this security at WEBI level.
Regards,
Mishra Vibhav.

Thanks for the reply.
Much Appriciated.
My only concern is that i read in the Universe Designer developer guide that it does the row level security so can eloborate a bit about how we maintain at Universe level.
Warm Regrads,

DECODE SQL Function - Parsing error in Defining Objects in Universe Designe

Hi,
I have created a class and an object in BO XI R3 Universe designer.
I am getting the parsing error while defining the object when using the custom SQL as
select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu
The object Type is "character", i have tried with Long Text, Number, Date as well and the same sql works fine by returning String values through TOAD.
Do we have any constrains in using DECODE in BO XI R3 or any other syntax please....
Please guide me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,
1.At back end check the data type for matteraction column and define it accordingly in object definition.
2. Try to break your select clause definition into smaller parts and check it where the exact issue is as below
i.select decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019) ............
ii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE') ..........
iii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu

BOE XI 3.1 - Universe Designer Installation

Guys,
Is it possible to get the UNIVERSE DESIGNER setup (Package) alone instead of go with BOE full installation package?
I have the BOE installation full package.
Every time i am installing the Designer in below way to my users,
Custom/Expand installation --> Deselect all the client components; Select "Universe Designer" --> Install Designer
I want to make the installation in easy way.
I found that 'Web Intelligence Rich Client" Client Package is available in ALONE as well as in BOE FULL Installation Package.
i can install this 'Web Intelligence Rich Client' in either way.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiruba v.r.

Hi Simon,
I know this process. Even i am doing the same to my users machine.
But i am looking for 'Universe Designer' individual client package as like 'Web Intelligence Rich Client'.
Note: I am not getting any error message.

Error when setting up connection from Universe Designer to Oracle database

Hello,
I am attempting to create a connection to an Oracle 10 database in Universe Designer. I am currently running Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a 32 bit machine. I have the Oracle client installed. In Universe Designer when I attempt to create a new connection using the Oracle 10 client I receive the following error.
CS:DBDriver failed to load : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found.)
The dbd_oci.dll file does exist in the directory listed above. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Brock

Hello Brock,
Do you have multiple SQL clients installed on your system? If so, uninstall the previous versions. Check if the PATH variable is set to correct bin path and then try testing it again.

Error While Accessing Universe Designer

Hi All,
I am facing an strange issue - I have BO Installation on windows server - 2003.
As a client when iam trying to access the server from diffrent location i am able to access CMC and Polestar.
But When i am trying to access universe designer - it shows an error -
Cannot access Repository ( uSR0013)
[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Transport error: Communication failure.(FWM 00001)
(hr=#0x80042a01)
Any suggestion.
I am able to telnet my server ip with port 6400 and 8080.
Thanks

I think there is some problem because of firewalls.
Could some one tell me what are the list of ports need to be opned for server client model.
i asked network team to open the ports 6400 -6410 only.
Do i need to open ports ??
My BO server installation is default and CMS is on - 6400. and i haven't configured anything else.
pls suggest the approach.
Thanks

Baan with Universe Designer

Has anyone successfully built a Universe against a Baan database? We are looking at the possibility either using a Baan driver for Universe Designer (if this exists) or connecting to the Oracle system underneath.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thx
James

No idea but some things to check:
- Are you running some other application which might be using the Designer SDK on your machine?
- If you launch Designer and leave it there for 5 minutes without doing anything does the error comes up
--> some background agent might be interfering? Or is it triggered only if you actually work with Designer?
- What is the title of the popup window (Designer.exe or is it a Window system message error?)
