Possible to report on QC using Business Objects?

Hello Geeks,
Please excuse me if I am posting this in wrong thread and help me moving it in right one.
As I am new to Sol Man, I heard that we could use  Business Objects reporting on/for/with HPQC.
After going through forum links and sdn search, I found that Sol Man Adapter is used for the same.
My simple question, is, can we use HPQC for BO reporting (Universe, Webi), if yes is Sol Man the adapter which could help me to achiecve it? Also do we have any white paper, which will help me to use Business Objects as a QC reporting tool?
Thanks

You need someone who is very comfortable with the QC database Schema.
You will need someone who can develop reports for you on the fly. The BO piece can connect directly to the QC database just like a reporting tool like SSRS does and you can build reports and host them on MOSS or something.
That is what I have done in the past and recommend it at places as a best practice.
Knowing the QC schema inside out is the key piece and you do not need any adapter in this whatsoever.

  • J2EE - Reports using Business Objects.

    Hi Friends,
    We have a requirement to generate reports in our project using Business Objects v5.1.8.
    Some users/Actors will have assess the reports through Webi of business objects and other requirement is to do some selection criteria in web page and once you get the right details, we should be able to generate report directly from web page (Calling .rpt file of Business objects), J2EE application calling business object report. (similar to calling PDF file in browser).
    Did any body of you did similar thing and is it possible to do through business objects, I know we can do from crystal reports. Do we need any plug-in ?
    I would be grateful, If you have sample code and willing to share.
    Thank You

    oh no, you have that as a requirement! :) well, have fun!! (the guy beside me develops our crystal reports stuff all day).

  • Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

    Hello,
    We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
    I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
    Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
    Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
    Is there any document available on this?
    Please respond as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    this forum is for the SAP Integration Kit. Would suggest you post your question into the EIM area for Data Services.

  • Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

    Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my  complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..

    Hi
    Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
    Here you can see half an hour Webinars that give you a good understanding of Business Objects:

  • SSO2DB / Use Business Objects Credential Mapping

    Hi,
    We standardized our universe connections to SQL Server on "Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time". There however is an issue with this when scheduling reports, see
    1199774 - How to schedule Web Intelligence documents based on SSO2DB universes for Oracle and SQL Server to avoid scheduling issues
    Given the solution proposed there is not optimal for us, we are looking at an alternative by standardizing on: "Use Business Objects Credential Mapping" on the universe connection. We want to use OLE DB (SQL Server native connection) for querying.
    There are 2 ways to do this:
    1. On universe connection, in the tab "Database Middleware", we directly select OLE DB. This way we do not need to create a DSN. We however get: A database error occured. The database error text is: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login failed for user '<user>'.. (WIS 10901)
    Apparently the default authentication mode to SQL server is "native". SQL server specific user. When we create a native SQL server <user> with same password as in the mapped database credentials in the CMC, it works fine. Indicating native SQL server authentication is used instead Integrated Windows authentication.
    Can we somehow change the authentication mode towards SQL server to Win AD?
    Can we get to the SSO2DB functionality in this way?
    2. When selecting ODBC on universe connection in tab"Database Middleware", we can still use OLE DB by creating a DSN based on the SQL Server native drivers. This also allows use to fix the DSN on authentication setting "With Integrated Windows authentication".
    When we run a WebI report from InfoView and select as one of the objects the "system_User", we get the service account running the SIA. This account is also running the WebIntelligenceProcessingServer.
    Does the credential mapping setting not work in this setup?
    We expected the DBUSER/DBPWD to be passed.
    See also SSO2DB / Use Database Credentials
    Quote "Use DB credentials is not kerberos it uses DBuser/DBpass variable for accounts if they are populated. I currently have an escalation in on this with SQL there may be a bug with AD users although SQL users work fine."
    Thx in advance!
    Raf

    Ganesh, using BO credentials will only work if you have BO logins that map to specific users in SAP BW.
    It may be that you wish to section the BW reporting differently to the SAP reporting or that there are specific requirements for a particular reporting area where you can in effect use an "overrule" to replace an individual's log in with one that has a wider set of access privileges for reporting purposes. Quite why you'd let them report on more than they can see in SAP, I don't know, but there you go!
    It's more traditionally used in database-based universes for a variety of reasons, particularly access.

  • Comparison between Crystal Report Server XI R1, Crystal Report Server XI R1 , Business objects Enterpirse XI R1 and BOXI R2?

    Hello Everybody,
    I am new to Business Objects Enterprise. I need to know what is differnce between   Crystal Report Server XI R1and Crystal Report Server XI R1 ; Business objects Enterpirse XI R1 and BOXI R2?
    As a beginner, it will be very much helpful for me to learn in a better way and to go in the right track.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Annapoorani

    Annapoorani,
      I will start off with the basic difference beteen Crystal Report Server and Business Objects Enterprise.  We can continue on after this initial bit of information.
      Essentially, Crystal Report Server is a much like a subset of the full Enterprise Product line.  Whereas CRS is used for storing and scheduling Crystal Reports,  the Enterprise product extends this usability to also include Desktop Intelligence Reports as well as Web Intelligence reports.  There are also added features available with the full Enterprise Suite (depending on the licensing and installation) that also provide Performance Management, Dashboards and other enhancements.
    In the sence of XI vs XIR2,  XIR2 is more up to date with fixes and service packs.  You will find the original XI products to be closer to an end of lifecycle when it comes to support. 
    As well, the newest release not mentioned in your line of questioning is Business Objects XI3.0.  Currently this is a java based deployment, but there will be a .NET version forthcoming.  Many new features have been added and you can find more information directly at www.businessobjects.com pages.  There is a full section on the website that outlines the various products.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - saving to Business Objects Edge

    Post Author: GWilks
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi,
    When trying to Open or Save a report in Crystal Reports 2008 to the Business Objects Edge server, the following message is received:
    Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS.
    Does anyone know when or if these two versions will be updated to support each other?
    Thanks,
    Garry

    Hi Jeffrey,
    The problem when ever you see that error is due to the versions mismatch. The is due to a call into one the updated or older versions of the dll that doesn't exist where it is expected.
    They MUST be the same version number.
    Options are to bring BOE up to SP3 and FP 3.1 also or roll back CR to SP 2 and Fix Pack 2.7.
    Thank you

  • What is the use Business objects over WAD.

    Hi Folks,
    what is the use Business objects over WAD.
    How sap bw is going to use Business Objects.
    Thanks,
    Cheta.

    hi,
    A business object is a master record within the Measurement System, and is defined as part of the measurement class within Customizing.
    Examples of business objects are wells, well completions, and measurement points.
    Once the measurement object is maintained, it is saved with the business object so that when viewed, the measurement object is part of the business object.
    regards,
    Siddharth.

  • Restriction when using Business object

    hi all,
    Currently i want to use Business Object to create a new Company code. After searching the Business object in Transaction SWO1, I find 'BUS0002' can realize it. But there is only one import parameter of method 'create' , that's the company code key id. 
    Is there any solution to import other parameters,such as description of the company code, currency etc. when using the business object to create the company code?
    Thanks in advance.
    Vivi

    hi RS
       just writes a test program :
      DATA: BEGIN OF objectkey,
             bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
             butxt LIKE t001-butxt,
             ort01 LIKE t001-ort01,
             land1 LIKE t001-land1,
             waers LIKE t001-waers,
             spras LIKE t001-spras,
           END OF objectkey.
      objectkey-bukrs = '2010'.
      objectkey-butxt = 'My company code description'.
      objectkey-ort01 = 'NEW YORK'.
      objectkey-land1 = 'US'.
      objectkey-waers = 'USD'.
      objectkey-spras = 'EN'.
      swc_container container.
      lv_object_type = 'BUS0002'.
      swc_create_object obj lv_object_type ''.
      swc_create_container container.
      swc_set_element container 'objectkey' objectkey.
      swc_set_element container 'CORR_NUMBER' 'EB2K900952'.
      swc_set_element container 'SUPPRESSDIALOG' ' '.
      swc_call_method obj 'Create' container.
    At runtime session, there is no value transfered to the maintainence view except the company code id.
    When i go through the program of 'create' method,
    i found that:
    Call maintenance of CompanyCodeId
      CLEAR V_T001.
      V_T001-MANDT = SY-MANDT.
      V_T001-BUKRS = OBJECT-KEY-COMPANYCODEID.
      CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_SINGLE_ENTRY'
           EXPORTING
                ACTION                       = 'INS '
                CORR_NUMBER                  = CORR_NUMBER
                VIEW_NAME                    = 'V_T001'
                SUPPRESSDIALOG               = SUPPRESSDIALOG
                INSERT_KEY_NOT_FIXED         = INSERT_KEY_NOT_FIX
           IMPORTING
                CORR_NUMBER                  = CORR_NUMBER
           CHANGING
                ENTRY                        = V_T001.
    so i guess, it should be enhanced some coding here, something like
    V_T001-BUTXT = OBJECT-KEY-description  ?
    but i am not sure about it.
    What do you think about it?
    Thanks again for your kindly help.

    Hi Naval,
    Ofcourse you can use business objects in your programms/ methods.
    You can use function modules or macros (available from include <cntn01>) for using business objects in your application.
