Save metada of Business Objects locally using JCO

Hi.
After retrieving the metadata of Business Objects, using JCO, (i.e. i have replicated the BAPI Explorer), I would like to save a particular Application Heirarchy Area & all Business Objects under it locally (e.g. Financial Acounting and all business objects under that area). I know there is a Save on the IRepository interface, but this seems to save all cached functions - that is not what i want ! Is there any way to save the metadata of those business objects using JCO ? Or should i just create my own Save which will save the metadata i want (to XML).
thanks
Javed.

Hello Javed,
to my opinion the best way to save the metadata, is to create your own xml structure. The methods save/load are only for handling the name of the repository and of the names of the functions and structures.
Regards,
Daniel

Report designed in CR XI R2 (v11.5.8.826). Being saved to a
BO Enterprise XI R2 (v11.5.3.4175) server.
Tried saving the report to the BO repository, takes a long time and then pops up with the error:
Failed to read data from report file <report location> Reason: Unable to launch <Crystal Report location where reportadd.exe is> program to add report to the system.
I login to the server and try to upload the report using the "Publishing Wizard". I get the same error, this time referencing the location of reportadd.exe in Business Objects.
A look at the BO log shows me:

That being said, sometimes it does work. The behavior of both the publishing wizard and CR when saving or trying to upload the report is an hour glass for about 4-5 minutes. If you click away from the application and then click on it again, it states "Not responding" but it is still working. In some cases when I try again to save the report, it goes through in 1-2 minutes. Sometimes if I click away and come back, click on the active app again so it states "Not responding" it will complete saving.
No resolution as of yet, simply keep on trying. This only happens on this particular report which uses a good amount of tables and custom commands all querying a Sybase database. I have other reports with the same functionality that do not run into this problem.

How business object be used in such worst situation?

What I get from front end (thick client) is a large value object with undefined data type (data in vector or hashtable), it 's difficult to extract the data from the object in business logic layer. Eg. in gui, data managed in table, and I need to extract the data in the business tier, such that the business layer need to know the structure of front end data. It 's not make scense any more.
The worst case is I cannot control the data construction from front end.
So, I would like a data model to convert the data into business data (simple data).
But it seems not a best case.
So, any suggestion?

Thanks all,
actually, the problem is the incoming data has no
regular type.
The value object contains different data in different
situation.That still means it is ordered in some way.
One may be a hastable, one may be a vector and so on.
What the server (business tier ) need to do, is to
define a generic approach to obtain those data and
manage them into a systematic data without following
the front end component structure...That isn't possible. You must have some notion of the type of data. You can't decide to apply the business rules for a social security number to a zip code. Both have 9 digits so with out some other information about the context you can't tell them apart.
In the same way you don't want to save a vendor information in the customer table just because both look like address information.
I have tried to use a web service idea to apply on it.
Such that using a xml as a function descriptor. The
xml describe the server function(s) and the data
needed.
But I want to find a best way to solve it.
So, does anyone has experience on such work?
Let say swing application calling a server program via
rmi. The swing is a thick client with a lot of
functions and components. The server side handles
business function only.Do you control the GUI or not? If you do then you dictate how the GUI gives the data to you. If not then you produce a translation layer that converts the GUI format into a form that is usable by all of the other layers.

Problems with a Business Object when using data RAW.

Hi,
I've created a Z bapi with parameter tables as
FILE_BIN like SDOKCNTBIN
The structure SDOKCNTBIN has one RAW field.
When I go to SWO1 and implement a new Bapi, the following error occurs:
"Field SDOKCNTBIN -LINE is too large to be included in container"
Does anyone knows why when I declare an structure with a field RAW, gives that error?
Thanks in advance!

Does this occur when using Immediate Mode?

Business Objects are used basically to trigger other objects with the respective events like
1) To Trigger Workflows
2) To Trigger Events
3) Used to communicate with NON SAP Systems using BAPI's
4) To Trigger user define Business object we need to define the super type and need to delegate it with respect to the supertype so as to trigger custom business object which in turn triggers it event linkage objects whether it may be workflow or Event etc.
Hope this would help you.

Business Object - BDoc Supported Bo

Hello CRM Gurus,
This question is related to BOL Object layer.
When we create the Business Object of type BDoc Supported,
1.Why is the Write BDoc section of the Business Object becomes disabled with the BDoc name specified in the textbox?
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers,
Vignesh Ravikumar.

hello Vignesh
There will be three kinds of Business Objects in BOL Layer.
1. BDOC Supported Business Objects : When BOL creates a new BO, BOL FWwill use the Read BDOC.And you can not do save for these BOs. Read Only. may be all child BOs can be modelled as BDOC supported.
2. New BDOC Supported Business Objects : These BOs will have Raad BDOC and Write BDOC, so you can read and write. when you save on a Business Object, BOL FW will use the write bdoc.
This will be used at most for all the root Business Objects and independent Business Objects to enable save at run time.
3. BDOC Not supported : as you aware, Unbound Business objects. can be used as helper BOs.

Shankar

Hi RS,
hope you have delegated your ZBUS2096 to proper supertype,
when you created the method, hope you have released component at the sub-object (that is method) first and then object level,
after which hope you have clicked the generate icon for your BOR.
Hope it helps.

OInvoice Business Object XML Schema question

I am trying to produce an xml file based on the oInvoices business object to use in an EDI translation. I am running Sap Business One 2005 A SP:01 PL:03. I used one of the sample programs in the SDK Samples folder to produce an XML schema of the oInvoices object. The sample program is in the COM DI folder, program #06. ObjectSchemas. When I run this program is produces an xml file that is really a schema for oInvoices, and it uses the GetBusinessObjectXmlSchema function for the oInvoices BoObjectType. If I use the SaveXML function on the SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices, I get a different xml file that does not use the same table or fields names. (See sample below - schema uses the table name, OINV, SaveXml uses 'Documents' in place of the OINV name, schema has a QueryParams tag set, SaveXml does not, SaveXml has a Version defined within the AdminInfo, the Schema does not have this). Why doesn't the oInvoices xml schema match the xml file produced using the SaveXML function. Which example below is the correct xml representation of an Invoice? I have copied parts of each file below.
oInvoices file produced using GetBusinessObjectXmlSchema for oInvoices:

Hi Nancy,
I can´t find it right now, but I do remember reading that there were different XML definition versions for SBO objects. In the version 1, table names where used. In the version 2, object names where used. Looks like the schema defines version 2, but SBO is using version 2.
I will check if I can found where I did read that. Try speaking with someone in SAP and about XML versions, perhaps they could help you with this info.
Hope helps,

Business Object linked to application document

hi All,
Is there any standard tcode or way to find out a given business object is linked to what all application documents?
Like for example i would like to know BO FIPP is linked or can be used for what all documents or tcodes??
How can find out??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raj

Hello Raj,
this is indeed a sad thing, not having a control table that links transaction codes to objects or classes. The GOS-Integration (Generic Object Services) are implemented within each transaction and usually the business object types used there are hard coded.
You can have a look at the where-used-list of ABAP class CL_GOS_MANAGER. You'll find an example here, include LMEORF1M at form routine bus2053_object_publish. There you'll see the common way of how objects are used/published.
Furthermore, the event creation/handling is also usually hard coded.
Not all transactions that make use of business objects, also use the GOS. So you'll always get a part of this.
You can also have a look at the where-used-list of Business Object Interface IFGOS.
Best wishes

Business ByDesign UI: find Business Objects and UI definitions involved

Hello,
I am new to SAP Business ByDesign sdk development. The most difficult part is to identify the right Standard SAP Business Objects and use them the right way.
As I understood from another sdk developer, he has seen on an SAP sdk training that there exists functionality to see/determine in the ByDesign UI the Business Objects and UI definitions involved in a specific UI.
In a test tennant for a customer this functionality is unavailable.
- is this functionality released for customer use?
- how can I activate this functionality myself?
- what are the prerequisites to be able to use this functionality?
thank you for your answers in advance,

Business objects and event type linkages...

Hi Experts,
Im a bit confused with business objects (swo1) and event type linkages(swetypv). Ive learned that business objects are used to trigger events and so how does event type linkages related to business object? Do I need to create business object or should I just search/look for the appropriate object needed?Please kindly explain to me the process or steps in using business object and event type linkages in related with idocs.

Hi,
Business objects neednot have to be created if your are fine with the standard method they have used in or the events yre available for you. If you need to cusomize it then you have to copy it to a subtype. Then do your modifications in it. Event type linkages are used to say which event is active for a Workflow. And if you want to trigger a Workflow based on certain conditions then you have to use either this or Start of Condition. The Error handling of workflow is also handled by Event Type Linkage. So whenvever you create a event linkage for a workflow you get an entry in Event Type Linkage.
Hope this would have thrown some light on you.
Thanks,
Prashanth
