Removing a business view datasource from a report
Hello,
Because of a performance issue I need to change the datasource of a report from a business view to a Sql Command.
There is a note from Sap (1197246) explaining this can't be done, bad luck and I'm stuck.
Using the Ras SDK, I can change all the report elements I need, so that they are based on fornulas in place of DBFields.
The only thing I can't do is dropping all the Tables (and hence the Business View) with the RAS SDK, while it is possible with the Designer.
Does anybody know how to drop the Business View from a report using the SDK ?
Thanks and regards
Alain
No possible even in the Designer. Only option is to re-build the report.

Urgent : Tracing required Datasource from a report
Hi,
I have to implement SD in BI, there is a TCODE given to me by the client that outputs a report (as per there requierment), Using the TCODE i have to activate the datasources and to transfer the data.
The fields on the selection screen i am able to trace from which table they belongs to and are been taken from the standard tables like VBRK etc.
When i look up at the porgram related to the TCODE, then they are fetching the data from various tables like VBRK, VBRP, MARA, KNVV, KNA1 etc and some Ztables also, after taking data from these tables they are preforming a number of calculations and then some restrictions are also there in report.
My problem is that how should i trace which datasources should i activate for taking the sales data to BI. Or how should i recognize it ?
Any help will be appreciated !!thanks hari,
I have already visited that link, but my question is about how should i recognize that i have to activate this DS.
Suppose that in the report given to me by the client contains data from tables VBRP, VBRK they are related to billing so do i need to activate the DS related to Billing one ?
Then they are using some tables like MARA, KNVV, KNA1, KNB1, MBEW, VBFA, KONV, etc. now which all datasources i use for the data related with these tables.
I hope my query is clear to u. -
GRC CUP how can i remove auto link "view" display from email configuration
Hi,
When approver/manager gets email.They get display "view" as a link to process the request. How can i remove this and put a full link in email configuration of stages workflow.
Thanks
Yakoob.Hi,
I have a similar query on this. We have a clustered environment for our production GRC CUP system. Access to the CUP system is via a load balanced Webdispatcher.
My question is, when a notification e-mail is sent out from CUP, the "View" link is showing a direct link to one of our clustered server instead of the Webdispatcher link. How can we customize the "View" link?
We need to ensure the approvers are able to access the link via the webdispatcher so that when a failover in the cluster occurs, they are not affected.
Thanks.

Regarding LOV's in Crystal Reports- Business View
Post Author: crystalappu
CA Forum: General
Hi All, I have developed a Business View for our crystal reports, We have like two levels of cascading prompting. In which the user can select ALL option in drop down LOV's in second level. I have added an 'all' object using command object in Business View. But when my Crystal report Developer is accesing my LOV prompt Group he is unable to see ALL in drop down LOV. But when i browse field in my command object i can see my 'ALL' object in it. Any idea upon this?Post Author: synapsevampire

Perhaps you should post an example or explain using technical information how you added this command object?
Did you use a UNION ALL?

Crystal Report with Universe instead of Business Views: Any limitations ?
Hi,
We were using Crystal Reports on top of Business Views until now. Due to considerable post-migration work with Crystal Reports on top of Business Views we are thinking of switching to Crystal Reports on top of Universe.
Can anybody explain me whether there is any drawback while using *Universe with Crystal Reports* instead of Business Views with Crystal Reports.
Please consider the following pointswhile giving an evaluation -
Dynamic parameter
(ii) LOV creation and maintainence
(iii) Maintaining order of parameters
(iv) Updating Universe/Business View level changes in Report (Verify database)
(v) Report performance
Your advice/views is appreciated.
Regards,
NeonevinHere are my views..
Yes, you can create crystal reports on top of universes. But there is one major drawback using universe. You can connect to only one database at a time. But in Business View you can connect to multiple databases. If you are ok with this, you can absolutely go for universes.
Dynamic parameter --- Yes its possible
(ii) LOV creation and maintainence --- Whatever the LOVs you have in universe, you can use the same. And also you can use LOVs created in Business Views while creating reports on top of universes. Any how please check. not very sure about it.
(iii) Maintaining order of parameters --- Yes, the order of parameters can be managerd using universe designer itself.
(iv) Updating Universe/Business View level changes in Report (Verify database) -- No need of updates required to be done in report. There are few changes which can happen for universe. Seemlessly you don't need to do anything to reports. Unless you delete some objects in universe.
(v) Report performance -- Never checked in this perspective. Performance should be fine.

Is it possible to remove 'Self-View' softkey from 8945
Hi All,
CUCM 10.5.1.11900-13, 8945 load SCCP8941_8945.9-4-1-9.
Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the 'Self-View' softkey from the 8945 when it's on hook? Would like to free up a softkey so we can have other functions on the screen.
Thanks,
JonathanRef: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-version-70/111900-cucm-faq-00.html#
Q. How do I remove the self-view softkey on the 6945/8945?
A. When you are on the video call, you will receive the option such as the self view box near the hide video button, and only the box is there. If you click that box, the self view video will disappear. If you press the same box again, it will appear on the screen again.

How to Convert Crystal Enterprise v10.0 Business Views to BOE XI?
Hi,
It took a long time, but my company FINALLY upgraded from Crystal Enterpise and Crystal Reports v10.0. We just purchased BusinessObjects Edge XI and Crystal Reports 2011. I went to the training class a few months ago, but due to the delay in our actually getting the applications, I feel as though I've forgotten most of what I was taught!
With the old version, we built all our reports off Business Views (using Business View Manager - which was an add-on component of Crystal Enterprise) that are sourced from an Oracle database. I have over 420 report files that are built against these business views.
I have tried to open a report in Crystal Reports 2011, and I'm prompted to log in to BusinessObjects Enterprise to load the business view. When I enter the credentials for the NEW system that I just installed (a brand new install on a new server), I get an error "Access Denied: You cannot log into an older version of the CMS." So obviously the stored business views that are trying to load have the old system information associated with them. Understandable.
I cannot find Business View Manager in the new BOE XI. Is it an add-on? Where can I get it? Can I even convert my old business views? If not, am I going to have to rebuild all my data sources?
I don't know what a "Universe" is - and I've never used them - but is that similar to a Business View?
The problem I get is that if I try to associate a new data source (I tried direct Oracle connection), all the fields in my report disappear when the old (unloadable) business view is removed. Essentially this would require me to rebuild all my reports!
I'm not sure what to do here. I have 420+ reports to convert so we can load them on this new server, and I have only about 2 weeks to do it. If I have to rebuild them all, there is no way I can complete this in time for our cutover.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! (I'm new to this "forum" thing, too - so if I'm not doing this right or if there is some other place I should be putting this, please let me know)
Thanks,
Amber SmithHi Amber,
Thank you for the reply.
Well if you can logon to Business Objects Server then you can see the Business View Manager from Start menu-> All Programs-> Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1-> Business View Manager
or else you can look for business view manager executable file in c:\program files\business objects\business objects enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CrystalBVM.exe
When you open Crystal reports, there is an option to change the datasource of an existing report to any other datasource. The only condition that should be met is that the structure of new datasource should be similar to the existing one.
I have not changed the business view datasource to universe, but i will try it and let you know.
Thanks,

Issue with creating List of Values in Business View Manager
Hi,
Could any one help me to figure out what this issue refers to?
When i created a List of Values in Business View Manager, it is throwing the following error!!!!
The List of Values used by this parameter cannot be based on a Business View derived from the current Data Foundation or Business Element.
Prior to creating LoV, i've done successfully with creating Data connection, Data foundation, Business element and Business View..
Thanks
ViswaHi Visaw,
Firstly,
-->Open Repository Explorer,
-->where you are have related DF,DC,BV,BEand LOV's
-->Right click on LOV's -->There you can find Schedule list of values.Then schedule list of values and check if it prompts for errors.
If you face the same problem, what is the error you are getting.
Else try to use the LOV's and proceed further.
-->Check whether the LOV's are pointing to the same Business View and check the Business view pointing to the same Datafoundation.
If you are facing the same problem then try with the below steps:
-->Try to Create a report at designer level Using then Business view
-->Create two new parameters and select the existing parameters(LOV parameter's)
-->Check whether it is working.
-->If you face the same problem ,Update the connection of Business view manager.
Go to Database tab-->Select Set DataSource location and update it with current Businessview Manager.
Try this ,and let us know.

Recreation of Info-Views as Business Views
Hello,
We have been running reports on Crystal 7 (Seagate Info 7) and have installed BOXI R2 and managed to migrate the reports to Crystal XI. Just not sure if we have done this in the most effective way and if issues can arise from how we have set up the data sources.
There was no direct migration tool to bring the reports onto the new system. Moreover, we work on a Baan IV database and have had some issues trying to use the Universe Module and so have are using Business Views.
The old reports were using info-views, we recreated the these info-views as business views on BOXI. In doing so, we made a data foundation including all tables and links as to accommodate for the tables needed by the all of the info views. From there, we created appropriate business elements, specifying the fields used. And finally, the respective business views. By changing the datasource (Database -> Set datasource location) we were able to use the same reports as before but through the business views.
We put all of the tables and linked them inside of the same data foundation. We figured the benefit was that in the case we needed to create new business views that we would have access to any table we wanted. So the question is, does this lower the performance (take longer to run reports) or possibly cause problems with data integrity? Should we have migrated the reports another way?I am configuring the SNC settings now.
BI is 64 bit
Bobj is 32 bit non IA server.
During this process I need to install Win 32 bit sap crypto lib in my system. After that there are profile settings in BI which need to be made which conflict with the existing SSO configuration:
Current settings in default profile:
snc/identity/asp:SAPServiceDB1@domain name snc/gssapi_lib C:\WINDOWS\ime(x86)\gx64krb5.dll
New parameters to be created in the instance profile as described in the BOBJ documentation:
snc/identity/asp:CN=DB1, OU=SAP, O=domain name, C=US
snc/gssapi_lib E:\usr\sap\DB1\SYS\exe\run\sapcrypto.dll
The main issue with be the library dll.
One more thing.
The SAP crypto library nees to be installed on the SAP server (64bit) and the BOBJ server (32bit). I was unable to locate a 32bit version for Windows x86. There is a x86/IA32 version but unknown if this is
compatible.
The IA32 reference is usually specific to itanium servers which we do not have.
Please advice.
Thank you,
Padman

Error creating LOV in Business View Manager - cannot be based on current DF
Hi,
I'm trying to use Business View Manager for the first time. I'm trying to create a dynamic, cascading prompt to be used by Crystal Reports.
I've been able to create:
- data connection
- data foundation - simple one table
- business elements - two columns from the table
- business view
- List of Values
I am now trying to create a parameter in the Business Elements tool. The parameter needs to be a Dynamic, Cascading parameter.
When I try to save the new parameter, I get the follow error:
The List of Values used by this parameter cannot be based on a Business View derived from the current Data Foundation or Business Element.
HELP
ThanksHi Chris
If you are trying to create a LOV and use that as a parameter, then you need to create LOV as Dynamic Cascading values. Once created then you can use that LOV in the Crystal Reports.
This is the best way to get dynamic cascading prompts in Crystal reports.
Please refer to Business View Admin guide for more information.
Hope this helps!!

Is it true that Business View will be exluded from the Crystal soon? I have heard this but I am not too sure about it.........
STHi Sunil,
Business Views is a flexible and reliable multi-tier system that enables companies to build detailed and specific Business Views objects that help report designers and end users access the information they require.
Currently the BVM is a part of Business Objects Enterprise XI and XI R2 and Crystal Reports Server XI and XIR2. Moreover itu2019s also a part of the latest release i.e. Business Objects Enterprise XI R3.
As of now there is nothing mentioned about this and currently it is available in the latest release i.e. Business Objects Enterprise XI R3.
I hope this information helps you.

Possible to change the datasource from a business-view to a Sql Command ?
Hello,
When a business view contains a lot of elements it takes a while just to open the report.
We'd like to keep the BV as the dictionnary, but,
once the report design completed,
we'd like to disconnect the business view and replace it by the Sql command which can be seen in the menu option 'show SQL query'.
Is it possible via the RAS sdk ?
Did somebody experience this ?
How to proceed ?
Thanks a lot
AlainHi Ted,
I'm thinking opening a Case for this problem of opening reports based on a big BV.
We can't really reduce the BV, since it is the dictionnary and we need the whole thing...
I'm wondering why it is impossible to change the Datasource if the tables and fields underneath are identical.
Is it impossible to change the fields' mapping ?
The other solution, as you suggest, is to create a report from scratch, create a new Datasource with the Sql command format, and rebuild the report... I agree it looks like a big job...
Do you know if it is possible to export the report in XML for instance, change the XML, and then re-import ?
Thanks for your Help.

Passing Value from Crystal Report (special function) to Business View parameter
Friends,
Í have a scenario where i need to pass value from Crystal Report to a Business view's parameter.
Eg : CurrentCEUsername (func in crystal report)-- gives login user which i should pass to parameter in a Business view (used in the same report).
Will be able to explain more if required.
Thanks in Advance,
BharathI guess you got the picture wrong. User_id is not a report_level parameter .
In Data Foundation, below query is used..
select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id from Accounts where user_id={?User_id}
where in {?User_id} is the BV parameter...
The Filter was a solution. But it takes long time to Query all the data from DB and then filter at BV level.
How do i pass the CurrentCEUsername to {?User_id}
Value should ve CurrentCEusername always. so that query will be
select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id from Accounts where user_id=CurrentCEusername
It will restrict the data pulled from DB to BV .. right? -
Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connectio
I have a report on our Crystal Reports Server that I need to move to a machine with Crystal Reports XI installed and no connection to the Business Objects Server.
When I create an ODBC connection pointing to the same table and then try to use Set Datasource Location to Update the Data Source I get an errormessage:
Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported.
What can I do? It is a complex report that I don't want to take the time and energy to rewrite.
Thank You for any answers.
<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3234/2942702182_72365cc04f_o.jpg">Screen Shot</a>Hello Brundibar,
I recommend to post this query to the [Universe Designer and Business Views Designer|Semantic Layer; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the universes and business views.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Universe Designer and Business Views Designer queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
