Refresh Business Object

Hi,
I am currently working in CHARM in solman. I am developing a work flow for it. I use the BO BUS2000116. I use the transactions CRMD_ORDER and CRM_DNO_MONITOR . I trigger mail when the user status changes in the BO. The status when changed in the transactions take some time (2 to 5 min) to reflect it in BO. Can any one suggest me the way to solve this...the status changes should reflect the BO immediately.....
Is there any way in work flow that i can refresh BO so that the status changes reflect the in the BO sooner...Please help me to solve this...........
Thank you.

Kevi,
What karri said is the way that you have to do, but let me explain little eloborately what to do.
Create a Subtype of your BO and create a new event(custom) .
Find the badi respectively for your process.
Call the workflow thru the wapi
inlcude this customised event into that wapi.
your workflow will start from this point whenever there is a status change.
If u want to trigger the workflow whenever there is a status change , check whether that badi is having Filter attributes, u can define the user statues here in the filter for whatever statuses you want the workflow to be triggered.
when you define filter values the badi will work when reaching the statues what you maintained.
so you design your workflow with a multiple condition checking the current status to decide sending the mail for each respective present status.
the stumbling block is the BO will get delay in updating and that will again delayed in updating the wf container while checking the present status in the condition level.
to avoid this u can use of the solution given in this thread, either a dummy method with requested start .
or with a custom method in the BO to read the status from the crmd_order_read.
all the best.

SWF exported to SAP Business objects Platform doesn't refresh

Hi Expert,
                   I have exported the XLF file to Sap Business Objects Platform.
Can anyone please help me in suggesting , why it is not refreshing? I scheduled the reports and am trying to get the latest instance of the webi reports.
I am using live office connection. So I was suggested to use this way of exporting for automatic refreshing of data from the webi reports.
My Built:
Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3 with hot fix 3.1,3.2,3.3
Business Objects Live office XI 3.1 SP2
Regards,
Anamika.

Hi Stratos,
                  I have already installed Fix Pack 2.5 in live office client .
The situation is that I have a bar chart plotted where KPI values are there against the dates(on X-axis). So, suppose I
exported the SWF on 2nd Dec . I have the date starting from 1st Nov to till date on the X axis of bar chart.
   I scheduled the webi reports on 7th dec where i changed the start date in the query filter to 28 nov
and then observed the SWF in Infoview.
Results:
1. Dates on X -axis are changed . Starts from 28 Nov instead of 1 nov.
2. The data values are not coming for the dates after 2nd Dec.
It means I am not getting the values for the dates after I exported the SWF
Can you suggest me something.
regards,
Anamika

Desktop Intelligence: Business Objects has stopped working in Windows Vista

Hi,
We have installed the BO XI 3.1 SP3 client components in Windows Vista Machine. When I was working with Desktop Intelligence, the program keep terminates irregularly. A pop-up window would appear saying "Business Objects has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." It asks me to close the program. The window always pops up even when I just terminate the BOE normally. It sometimes pops up when I was just trying to refresh the data or in the middle of working with the application.
THanks.

Hi expert
I have install the BO XI into my laptop with 32-bit OS and Windows Vista Enterprise SP 2 but still experience the same error message "Business Objects has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program".
Please help as my daily task require to use BO very often.

Changing the Data source in Business Objects XI

Hi,
Is it possible to change the data source(not universe) in runtime to generate business objects reports. I am using BOXI 3.1.
Below is the code I am using to change the universe in runtime. I would like to change this so that i can change the data source instead of changing the universe. My intention is to generate report from multipple database using same universe. Right now I am using multipple universes connected to multiple datasources to achieve this. I am using Report Engine SDK(Java).
           if("Webi".equals(mDocKind))
               // Added for multiple database support
               DataProviders dataProvs = documentInstance.getDataProviders();
            try{
                //To support multiple queries in BO reports
             for(int count=0;count<dataProvs.getCount(); count++){
               DataProvider dp=dataProvs.getItem(count);
               DataSource ds= dp.getDataSource();
               infoUniverseObjects = getUniverseObject(infoStore,NewUniverseName);
               infoUniverseObject = (IInfoObject)infoUniverseObjects.get(0);
               String newDsCuid = infoUniverseObject.getCUID();
               dataProvs.changeDataSource(ds.getID(), "UnivCUID=" + newDsCuid, true);
               if(dataProvs.mustFillChangeDataSourceMapping())
                    // Re-map data source to target Universe objects
                    ChangeDataSourceMapping mapping = dataProvs.getChangeDataSourceMapping();
                    ChangeDataSourceObjectMapping[] maps = mapping.getAllMappings();
                    dataProvs.setChangeDataSourceMapping();
                }//for dataProvs.getCount()
            }catch(Exception e)
                  mLogger.info("BOReportObject","createReport","Inside multiple data providers loop"+e.getMessage());
Thanks in advance

Edited by: Shameertaj on May 20, 2009 3:08 AM

Hi Shameer,
I think this is only possible with the Universe Designer SDK (which is only available in COM).
Please kindly refer to the API reference for the Universe Designer SDK for more details:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/bodessdk.chm
Also, please note that changing the universe connection when viewing a document on-demand is not recommended because this could lead to possible issues.
For example:
Two users trying to view documents that uses the same universe at approximately the same time.
But user A wants to use connection X and user B wants to use connection Y.
This could lead to an error while openning the document or while refreshing/retrieving the the data.
Hope this helps.

Dan

How good is the java Ras Sdk in Business objects XI?

I have programmed some reports from scratch by using the java ras sdk.
Somehow I have the feeling that new features of XI like dynamic image location, or
running totals aren't so well supported as for example through the Crystal report Designer.
Do others also think that Business objects is being a bit negligent on this Api?
Maybe they do not consider the Api as important anymore because most people will be using there web based out of the box jsp components?

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

Using JSP, how to add new items to Fuego Business Object "Group" ?

Given the classic Fuego Business Object (FBO) example of an Order, which has a few attributes (orderNumber, customerName, Order Date) and a GROUP attribute called OrderItems (ItemName, ItemPrice, etc.), I want to use a JSP to allow user to submit order. My JSP has a form and uses the Fuego Tag Library. There are FORM INPUT elements for Order.orderNumber, Order.customerName, Order.OrderDate, and a table using dynamic HTML to add rows and INPUT elements for new items to add to the GROUP attribute OrderItems - ItemName, ItemPrice, etc.)
But when the user wants to add "OrderItems" to the order, I don't know how to get Fuego to create OrderItem Objects to add to the array (aka GROUP).
Thx in advance.

###### below is the response I response I received from a BEA Engineer. From looking at the html source of fuego presentations that implement desired functionality, it appears as though they handle it using the first suggested workaround below ######
Hi,
The short answer to your question is that there is no out of the box feature to support directly what you are asking for.
The problem is that JSPs receives a Fuego Object that is accessed at rendering time (JSP compilation/ HTML rendering). And then all the updated values are sent back to the engine in a new request when you hit the submit button of a FOR tag that has the postResult tag in the action attribute. At this point all these values are automatically taken from the request and the Fuego Object instance variable in the screenflow is updated.
After saying this you will notice that it doesnâ€™t make sense to update the Fuego Object instance on the JSP. Because you only could do this ate rendering time and because this instance is not going back to the engine (just the values).
Fuego Object tag Library was designed basically to be able to show Fuego Object data and invoke runs-on-server FO methods.
I see 3 different approaches to solve the problem you have:
1)Use JavaScript to call a runs-on-server method that recive the required arguments to extend the group and set the values. You should use the new tag called invokeUrl that allows you to use AjaX, in this way you could update the page with partial rendering.
2)Use JavaScritp to submit the form when the user click the add row button. And have a loop in the Screenflow with an automatic activity that will extend the group and the go back to the component activity that now will show the page again but with one more row. The drawback is that each time the user wants to add a row, it will require the entire page to be refresh.
3)Handle the table and values using JavaScritp and DHTML, and put all the new values in the request (input element), then in the Screenflow use an automatic activity to set this values to the Fuego Object.
Look at the Samples of using Fuego Tag Lib and AJaX

Business Objects and underlying technology

Hi,
We are using Business Objects 6.5. We are in the process of automating testing on Business Objects reports.We are planning to use Rational Functional Tester.Here comes the problem.RFT doesn't recognise any operations(like file->open or pressing refresh button in BO) done in BO.
It seems RFT recognise only those applications developed in Java.Could anyone tell me on which technology or language Business Objects is developed?
Thanks in advance

Business Objects XI report timeout

Hi All,
I'm running a quite simple environment:
Windows 2003 R2 SP2
IIS 6
Oracle Database (remote on Linux but same subnet)
Business Objects Server XI R1 SP3.
I'm having an issue with reports getting time out errors after 2 minutes before they have had a chance to complete.
What I want to do is increase the setting that lets the report run before it errors. I can monitor my database and still see SQL being passed when the 2 minute limit is reached.
I have changed the 'Default Website Properties' Connection Timeout setting in IIS to 500 seconds and restarted, this has not helped the problem. I have looked through all the settings under Servers in the CMC, I can't see the right one. I'm not asking for the connecting setting before I need to log back in, I need the setting that will let a report run for 10 minutes before it errors.
If I run a problem report via Schedule, it completes but is very close to 2 minutes. If I run it On Demand, it times out after 2 minutes, but I can still see the query selecting data then gets terminated.
Thanks in advance, Jason.

I had the same problem on a 12 mo cost report that produced 95,000 records and read close to 400,000. Could only run 4 months.
Changed the "Database Records Read When Previewing or Refreshing" parameter to 0 (unlimited) in CrystalReportsProcessingServer
and changed the "Maximum Cache Size (KB)" parameter in CrystalReportsCacheServer from 250,000 to 500,000 - then it would run.
Sorry, wrong thread I think - I was getting "max processing time or max records limit reached" error message but I think my problem was max records rather than timeouts.

Crystal Reports published on Business Objects Enterprise Server

Hi all,
I am having a few difficulties after i save my crystal report to the Business Objects Enterprise Server XI 3.1.
1) for the reports with static parameters the "Crystal Reports Print Control" doesbnot work. It gets stuck and i guess cannot load the print function. Don't know what exactly causes it but i made two similar one field reports and saved them to the server. One with a dynamic parameter and the other with a static parameter.
The report with static parameter could not be printed.
This happens when i use the HTML viewer for crystal reports. I cannot use the activeX or Java viewers as they mess up the formatting of my Arabic reports.
2) For some reports i get one type of parameter screen (like we get while running through the designer) while for other reports i get a different type of Parameter Entry Screen. Sometimes when i view the report first time i get the former type of parameter screen and when i refresh the report i get the later screen.
3) Also my dynamic parameters are not showing all the values when the reports are saved to the above mentioned server. On my desktop i made the LOV registry tweak and it works fine. I did the same tweak on server registry but it is not working.
Thanks a lot even if u read it

Xcelsius (SWFfile) performance after exporting to Business objects platform

Hello,
I am facing a problem wherein the SWF file takes time (almost 1-2min) to load the refreshed data in Infoview portal
i.e. after exporting the xlf file to Business Objects platform.
Following are the system details:
1) Business Objects XI Release 3.1
2) Xcelcius Engage/Enterprise 2008 SP3 Windows (file name: 51038212.ZIP) version 5.3.0.0 build number 12,3,0,670.
Following are the dashboard details:
1)2 tab sets
2)column charts
3)combo boxes
4)spreadsheet tables
5)quite a few images and logos embeded
In the xlf file, we have used the Refresh on load option in
Data manager so that the dashboard (SWF File) takes the latest WebI report instance when opened in Infoview portal.
The SWF file is approximately 2MB in size and it uses 42 live office connections.
Also I had read in few blogs that vlookup function is not the ideal function to be used in the excel datasheet and instead INDEX/MATCH
can be used to improve performance. Is it true? I have tried using INDEX/MATCH function for few charts but doesn't show any performance improvement.
Please suggest solution as to how to decrease the time it takes to refresh the live office connections and display the SWF file in Infoview portal.
Cheers
Lee

Hi Lee,
2 MB is quite heavy for a swf file. I think you should split this file in different parent-child flash files using the swf loader component and opendoc.
Look at this forums:
[http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=85926]
For "parent-child" on XI 3.1 with parameters and LiveOffice refresh in the child swf:
[Calling Dashboards from Dashboards in Xcelsius 2008;
You can have more information about pareht-child xcelsius at the official documentation in SAP markeplace.
I hope this helps.

Report Writer - Converting from MS Access to Business Objects Tools

In 2008, my company migrated to SAP. Security has forced all report writing to use business objects (specifically WEBI); however, WEBI is very very difficult to use. The data in the universe doesn't always match what SAP has and the tool itself doesn't give the robust manipulation that Access does. I have tried to tell the company I need access to the universes through MS Access in order to create the reports automatically and allow interactive databases; however they refuse to give me ODBC access (against policy). Right now I have no alternative but to do daily downloads from SAP in order to feed my robust databases.
Can anyone suggest what business object tool I should use that will replicate what MS Access does for me?
Easy report writing with robust design (including charts)
Easy front-end tool for end users
One to many relationships needed
Efficient/Automatic (no need for daily downloads)
End users can interact with reports (enter data for later analysis)
What about Crystal Reports? What are the limitations and can it do what MS Access does for me today?
Should I be posting this question in another forum?

Hi Amy,
CR 2008 is the complimentary version of CR Designer when connecting to BOE 3.1. You can get an update to Service Pack 3 and then possible SP 4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
But before you do that check with the BOE admin, SP's should match also but not required.
They should work together, When you use the Report Wizard you'll see an option to connect to Enterprise and then log in using your User account and then the Repository will have the Universes available. Remember this is all set up by the Administrator so you will need the Admin person to grant you access to the Repository as well as anything else you need access to. Once you create the report then you can Publish them to your folder or a common folder and the Admin can then share your reports.
WEBI is what the name implies, it's a WEB interface to allow you to create reports using it's Report Wizard. It does take some getting used to and you should have training available, check with your admin group again. Same as CRD, it tool allows you to create reports but is much more flexible than WEBI is in a few ways but once you understand how WEBI works it has some very powerful tools also.
CR allows you to access any database field you have permission to see, it fully supports database permissions. So if you can't see them again you have to ask your DBA to grant you permissions. You can then link tables including your late entry table if it is separate or simply hitting the refresh button in the viewer will requery the DB for new rows of data. All depends on how it's set up.
As for security, this is a decision your company has made. SAP is just a tool that allows you to be secure. With today's security threats and other privacy laws and hackers abilities to get to and cause personal harm to those affected it's just the way things are these days. Take this up with your Management, it's not something we can decide for you and certainly can't provide you with ways to circumvent the security.....
There is training available for both WEBI and CR as well as third party Help for books available. Downloading the sample reports is a great place to start, you can switch between Design and preview mode and see what happens when you make changes....
Thanks again
