Hello Venkata Ramana Pandi,
As Manoj Dhyani mention in the above thread, try changing it into CWM format and give it a try.
Follow the below steps:
Export the DS datastore in CWM format, select the datastore and enter a XML file name
Open the Universe Builder (this option will be in BOE Program menu), you have a option in Universe Builder to import XML exported from Data Services/Data Integrator, check if that creates your Universe successfully
to use Metadata Exchange do the following
Open Data Services Desginer
Click on tools Menu -> Metadata Exchange
In the Metadata Exchange window
Select Export Data Services metadata to a file
Select DI CWM as metadata format
enter location for xml file (C:\temp)
Select the datastore you want to create Universe for
Click OK
Check for file named repo_export.xml in the C:\temp folder or the folder that you specified
Open Universe Builder and Select
Data Integrator bridge
and use the xml file as input to create universe

SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 on Microfost Office 64-Bit Version
Hello,
Has anyone installed SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP6 on Microsoft Office (Excel) 64-Bit Version. I am getting message "The launcher was not able to connect Analysis Add-In. Make sure that Analysis Add-In is not disabled by Office Application".
When I activated the Analysis Add-In, I am getting below Error: "Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'analysis' add-in." and it is forcing to disable the add-in and asking to check for if any update is available. It was working fine on 32-bit Excel version.
Thanks,
RamHi Tammy,
Thanks for the response. It is working fine on 32-bit Office version (with OS 64-bit). I checked the compatibility (OSS 1466118 ) and it supports Microsoft 64-bit office version. Just wanted to see if anyone had successful installation.
Thanks,

Business Objects Universes generation
Hi everyone,
We wish to install and use Web Intelligence (Business Objects Enterprise Premium). I understand that Web Intelligence requires universes and that they can be generated via Universe Designer or Universe Builder. With these tools, we can generate a universe using the metadata from the source (BW from example).
1. Is having the metadata available at the source a requirement to generate a universe? If not, what are the other options available? Best practices?
2. Is there an integration with Metadata Management? If yes, what's SAP's flagship product for metadata management? Where can I get more info on the subject?
Thank you very much for all your help,
NathalieA lot of your questions about SAP Business Objects tools and applications can be found at
1) Go to the [SAP Help Portal|http://help.sap.com].
2) On the top light gray navigation bar, select SAP BusinessObjects.
3) On the top dark gray navigation bar, select All Products.
4) Select the product and version from the dropdown boxes.
Web Intelligence and Universe Designer have separate documentation, even though they're part of the SAP Business Objects Enterprise suite of products.
1. Is having the metadata available at the source a requirement to generate a universe? If not, what are the other options available? Best practices?
In order to create/maintain a Universe in Universe Designer, you have to have a connection to the database or infrastructure where the data being used for reporting resides (e.g. SAP BW or SAP Business Objects Rapid Marts), thereby exposing the source tables for use in a Universe. Metadata isn't required for creating/maintaining Universes in Universe Designer. For Universe Builder, however, metadata or Oracle Analytic Services are required to create Universes.

2. Is there an integration with Metadata Management? If yes, what's SAP's flagship product for metadata management? Where can I get more info on the subject?
SAP Business Objects Metadata Management XI 3.1 supports metadata sourcing from SAP SAP BW 7.0. This is now considered the "flagship" metadata management tool for SAP.

Business Objects Universe generator
Hello,
We came across an interesting scenario and was hoping to hear from other with smiliar situation. In a SAP-BW and BO environment using Business Object Universe generator, it appears that BO requires direct data base connectivity to read data from BW. This to me sounded quite weird due to audit requirements and other compliance issues. Was wondering if there was anyother way for accessing BW data from BO.
The primary issue with ODBO from BO to BW was the limitations on the result rows that can be returned. The way forward seemed to be directly database access with a generic read only user.
Anyother ideas? Has this changed over time with BO-XI.
Any ideas appreciated?
Regards
KarthikHi,
Thanks you for submitting your post, I would like to take this opportunity to reply your post, I do not have experience in BO 5.x, 6.x but I can explain you to understand how it work in BOE XI/XI R2.
In XI/XI R2 we use an RFC connection (MDX driver, which makes BAPI, SAP API calls) to SAP BW to obtain the details of the BW Query or Info Cube for building the Universe using the XI/XIR2 Business Objects designer application. The request for the query or cube details is done VIA BAPI function calls. For the SAP BW Query we must have allow External Access to this query checked under the Query Property window.
Our Integrated Solution Kits do not access the SAP BWs data source.

SAP Business Object Methodology
Hi Experts,
I'd like to know which are the methodologies to implement SAP Business Object, excluding SAP BW and includin SAP BW. I know for SAP the ASAP methodology is used, but I don´t know for SAP BO.
Greetings & regards,
Leonel>

> I'm going to implement Xcelsius, Web Intelligence, Crystal Report and Live Office on Windows.... But I need to konw the ways or methodologies to implement BO....
Hi leonel, that's good. But once again, you need to indentify the following first...
1. Who are the target audience (i.e. the end-users)?
2. Who are going to develop the reports using those tools? Is it centralized (by BI developers or IT developers) or self-service (by the end-users themselves)?
3. What skill set do you have in-house? Do they know know how to use those tools? Do they need training?
4. Where are the data sources? Are you going to build a reporting data mart? Do you have the in-house resources to do so?
5. Do you have the in-house resources to build the semantic layer (i.e. the universe which is the heart-and-soul of BusinessObjects)?
These are just the initial questions. More will come up when you get deeper into the process. Not until you can answer all these questions, you cannot proceed. I also would like to emphasize that, while you can have a general guideline, there is really no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all implementation plan. It varies from company to company. You need to sit down with all the stakeholders to come up with a good plan. And once again, you should consider bringing in hire-gun to help you out. It is very important to do it right at the beginning.

SAP Business Objects Explorer on top of SAP BW
Dear Experts,
My Requirement:
- Use BO Explorer on top of SAP BW ( no HANA, no BIA ). This is to provide the users a set of related data and they can analyse the way they want.
Question-1:
- What should be the BW data volume that I should keep in mind for BO Explorer to have good performance. My concern is primarily because we don't use BIA or HANA.
Question-2:
- Can BO Explorer directly connect to a BW Infocube/Multiprovider or it has to connect only through Universes
Regards.Hi,
I will suggest you Go for SAP Business Objects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office,ity can connect bex query directly & Bw/Infocubes also.
Regarding Performance we can do In BI Itself depends on Business needs,: modelling , extraction, reporting 3 levels in BI .

SAP Business Objects Edge 3.0
Hi Gurus,
I was downloaded the SAP Business objects Edge 3.0 Trial version from SAP. I am using SAP 4.7 with oracle 9.2 DB... I want to integrate Edge 3.0 with our SAP for reporting purpose.. Please explain how can i configure this and what are the other softwares are required for this. I go throw the guides but i am not getting clear idea.
Now i just installed the business objects enterprise in one system web console are login correctly.
But i don't know how to connect my SAP DB with this.
Please help me.
Regards
MahendranHi,
you still need the mentioned software packages even if you do not have an SAP BI system. You can also configure your SAP R/3 system to do the BO authentication. The main difference is that you have to use crystal reports in order to access the data in your SAP system. You cannot report using Web Intelligence (universes) on an SAP R/3 data source.
So you have to do the following:
1) Install the SAP BusinessObjects Edge 3.0 software on host A
2) Install the Crystal Reports Designer 2008 V0 on host B (HostA and hostB can also be the same computer)
3) Install the Java Connector 2.1.8 on host A ([http://service.sap.com\connectors]). You will find more information on this in the installation guide of the integration Kit for SAP solutions.
3) Install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host A (Choose the server option in the installation). Please follow the instructions in the installation guide on how to do this.
4) If hostA and hostB are two different machines then please install also the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP solutions XI 3.0 on host B (Choose the desktop option in the installation)
5) Import the transports delivered in the integration KIT for SAP solutions in your SAP R/3 system (Check the installation guide for more information on these steps)
6) Configure the SAP authentication in your BOBJ Edge system (necessary if you want to logon with your SAP credentials in BOBJ)
This way you should be able to create reports based on your SAP R/3 data.

Hello,
I have a computer with SAP Business Objects 4.1 SP2 and SAP PowerDesigner 16.5.3.2 (4343).
When I try to enable SAP BusinessObjects Add-ins I get the error message "Add-in SAP BusinessObjects license check failed".
Anyone can help ?
Kr,
ThierryHello Marc,
As ex-Sybase customer, I wasn't aware about a version "Standard Edition" vs another one. I just made a control about which version is installed.
I made a control and I confirm the following elements:
- It isn't PowerDesigner "Standard Edition"
- Client platform is Windows 8.1
- I noticed a problem with "gacutil.exe" during initial installation of version 16.5.
- Associated license is "EnterpriseArchitect"'
- I confirm I cannot activate several add-ins such as "SAP Business Objects", "SAP HANA" and "SAP ERP"
- I see all add-ins mentioned before in PowerDesigner add-ins menu (General options)

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
AslehHi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
