Scheduling a Business Objects 4.0 Webi from Abap

Is there a way to pass in prompts and schedule a Webi report in Business Objects 4.0 from Abap? We have a situation where we want to email out a webi report to each of our sales reps with their particular sales information based on salesid.
Right now we would have to create and maintain about 250 individual scheduled jobs in Business Objects and that is a maintenance nightmare so I was wondering if we could use our scheduler in our ERP6.0 environment and write an Abap program to pass in the parameters needed to schedule the job in BOBJ.
For example, every Monday the Abap job would run and collect all salesmen info including salesid and email address and would then use that info to send the info to BOBJ to schedule and run the reports one time.
Hopefully what I am wanting is clear.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

Priyanka,
You need to STOP the Adaptive Job Server, this will STOP all scheduling jobs.

To stop all scheduling in Business Objects 4.0

Hi
I just want to stop all the scheduled reports to run in Business Objects
Which process should i stop for it ?
Is it Adaptive Job Processor?
This is why i need it
We have migrated our BO from 3.1 to 4.0 in UNIX environment so its a prod parallel environment
and we are going to keep the old production environment running too for a week just to test the new one is fine or no.
But for 4.0 we have new prod environment and new CMS database
Next we are going to get all the data using BO Upgrade Tool
As Unix has complete upgrade it will get all the scheduling info too
Now i don't want the reports to run in our old production environment and new too
So which process should i stop which will only stop the Scheduling and wont impact other part.

API Clearcase for Business Objects Reports including Webi

Is there anyone out there who has developed a linked version of the following application?
Winners of the Business Objects Community Content Contest
I'm excited to announce the winners of the content contest that we ran earlier in the summer. The contest ran for seven weeks and had five categories, each of which offered a potential grand prize of $1,000 USD, a second prize of $300 USD, and a third prize of $200 USD.
Here is the list of winners, who have already been officially notified, along with a description of their submissions:
SDK APPLICATION
Grand prize - Sunil Abraham - "Bridge between Rational ClearCase version control and Business Object Enterprise"
This tool enables updating the location of report files on the BOE server from the ClearCase repository without using the web interface. The tool is a stand alone application developed in VB.NET using BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK and the ClearCase Automation Library (COM Interface). The user selects the ClearCase repository and the change set that needs to be updated on the BOE server. The tool queries BOE and returns the locations of the files to be updated. The user can then update the server location with the click of a button.

You cannot use query builder to update the object. You need to create a jsp page or java class and add the code to perform the action. The code should:
1. logon to enterprise
2. query for the objects to get InfoObjects.
3. loop through each object and update title using setTitle()
4. commit
5. logoff
Check various [sample|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/b0daacb7-ad82-2b10-b2b6-f3e9fa3e716a] and [Developer Guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/boesdk_java_dg_12_en.zip] on how to set up the environment etc,

Crystal reports being scheduled on Business Objects XI 3.1 failing

I am in the middle of a migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI 3.1. I am getting report failures for scheduled events. The error is "Object could not be scheduled within the specified time interval". Does anyone have any idea what this is? Some of the reports run fine for this instance and then others get this message. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
This error message appears when there are a large number of reports scheduled to run at the same time, but there is a short end time for the instance. As a result, BusinessObjects Enterprise may not be able to run all the report before the end time passes.
To resolve this error message, increase the end time on the scheduled instance. To increase the end time, use the following steps:
1. In the Infoview, browse to the desired report and click 'History'.
2. Find the desired scheduled instance and click 'Reschedule'.
3. Under the 'When' section, increase the end time for the scheduled instance.
Upon completing these steps, the error message no longer appears.
Hope this helps!!

Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.

Abhilasha

How to call business objects in BO part from a servlet in lean-webapp

Hi Gurus,
for oci-implementation (and as it has been suggested here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3340669) we want to implement a servlet that calls certain actions in a business object. The servlet resides inside the leanwebapp-DC. The business object is in the bo-part of our own custom module. Our problem is to find a way for the servlet to call the business logic. Our first thought was to go via the moduleAccess. However, we could not figure out how to access the module of the leanwebapp.
Any suggestions?
Best regards,
Christian

Hey Wolfgang,
thank you very much for your quick and accurate answer.
After struggling a little bit with our project setup we implemented your solution and it worked immediately.
However, we now have the problem to declare the module dependency between the leanwebapp and the bo-part of our module. The Development-and-Extension-Guide for WCEM 3.0 tells us (page 39) to do this in the metadata.xml of the calling module (which would be the leanwebapp). Unfortunately, the leanwebapp does not have a metadata.xml.
Declaring the dependency in the .dcdef of the leanwebapp-DC leads to either:
a runtime exception while calling ModuleAccess moduleAccess = wecSession.getModuleAccess("oci"); in the servlet (com.sap.wec.tc.core.modulemgmt.metadata.exceptions.ModuleRuntimeException: Module access of module 'oci' cannot be created. It is not part of the current application.) or
a runtime time exception while accessing the servlet:
Caused by: com.sap.wec.tc.core.common.init.InitializeException: Error initializing 'com.sap.wec.tc.core.modulemgmt.metadata.ModuleMetaDataDeploymentModel' com.sap.wec.tc.core.modulemgmt.metadata.exceptions.ModuleRuntimeException: The deployment unit contains multiple JAR files or folders which declare the same part/namespace combination. Module: 'oci', part: 'bo', namespace: 'xxx', JAR/Folder 1: 'D:\usr\sap\DE2\J02\j2ee\cluster\apps\xxx.com\xxx~oci~dpu\app_libraries_container\xxx.com~xxx~oci~bo~assembly.jar', JAR/Folder 2: 'D:\usr\sap\DE2\J02\j2ee\cluster\apps\xxx.com\demo-leanapp\servlet_jsp\demo\root\WEB-INF\lib\xxx.com~xxx~oci~bo~assembly.jar'
Do you have any hints on how to declare the dependeny properly?
Best regards,
Christian

Business Object on SAP Web Application server.

Experts,
Can Business Objects be installed on SAP Web Application Server?
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks
Yashu Raj

Matt,
Thanks for your input.
I found this information on SDN
Can Business Object Enterprise Web Tier be deployed on SAP NetWeaver system with usage type AS Java?"Yes, this is supported for Java 1.4 (NW 7.0), see http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/supported_platforms/default.asp
However, the BOE Web Tier is not shipped with SAP NetWeaver, but can be deployed on an SAP NetWeaver system with usage type AS Java at customer side.
SAP is evaluating if we could ship the Busines Object Enterprise Web Tier with SAP NetWeaver in the future but that cannot be confirmed yet.
Still, in this scenario, the Busines Object Enterprise backend server would need to be installed as a separate server."
Can the Busines Object Enterprise backend server be deployed on an SAP NetWeaver system with usage type AS Java?
"No, as this is not a J2EE application, but a mix of Java and C++.
SAP is evaluating if the Busines Object Enterprise backend server could be shipped as a ""Standalone engine"" (as it is the case for BIA and Livecache
Can the whole or at least relevant parts of the whole Busines Object Enterprise be deployed to the NetWeaver J2EE server, so that distinct scenarios for Busines Object applications run without the need to install a separate Busines Object Enterprise backend server?
This scenario is currently planned for the next generation Analysis Client (Project: Pioneer) and evaluated for the Java based Crystal Version.
I am trying to understand the difference between BOE Web Tier and Busines Object Enterprise backend server....can you throw some light on it if you can.
I am a SAP BI consultant and one of my customers have this question on BOBJ. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Business Objects Dashboard and Webi Connectivity

Hi All,
I am on BI 4.0 Sp6 and would like to create a BO Dashboard based on Webi Instance. What is the best approach to do the same.
1. I want the BO Dashboard data to be visible on Ipad ( hence no data source connections)
2. In case of live office , how does the refresh mechanism work
3. Does add on tools like XWIS help in mitigating the issue
Would like to hear best practices around the same.

Hi Vijay,
I am on BI 4.0 Sp6 and would like to create a BO Dashboard based on Webi Instance. What is the best approach to do the same.
If you are using LO connection, then its not mobile supported connections & struggled a lot to make it stabilize. but still its a good connection to view the data in dashboard design time.

Take look at the below links for the up's & down for BIWS Connection.

How to create Xcelsius Dashboard based of BI Web Service ( BIWS )
I want the BO Dashboard data to be visible on Ipad ( hence no data source connections)
If you are looking for a connection which is specific to mobile supported, then look into the below links.
You can get all aspect of information which is necessary to create a dashboard.
How to Configure and Access Dashboards from IPad
Dashboards currently support only data manager connections defined using Query Browser as Live Data connections and QaaWS and Flash variable connections support is planned in BI 4.1
In case of live office , how does the refresh mechanism work
Refresh can be done webi side by scheduling the report in repository or you can keep a refresh button in dashboard to refresh the data. I hope automatic refresh is not possible here.
Does add on tools like XWIS help in mitigating the issue
I have no idea regarding this,
Hope this helps.

How do I download Business Objects 3.1 software from SAP support site

I was able to add the software I want to download basket,but when I click on any particular download,I get error message...

Hello,
as tyou are having a BOE 3.1 download issue I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Hello Mithun,
Does this section in the documentation help you:
SAP Cloud Applications Studio Help -> Developers Desktop -> Web Services
The entry "Task -> Create a Web Service" describes how to create a Web Service on your own BO
The entry "Task -> Test a Web Service" helps you how you can use it in a foreign tool / application.

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

Business Objects Scheduler Jobs Monitoring

Hi,
Is there a management pack available for integration with System Centre (SCOM) such that we can monitor failed scheduled jobs in Business Objects via SCOM?
Is there any other way to monitor failed scheduled Business Objects jobs straight from the database or via any other method?
Thanks,
Chandan

Hi Chandran,
I'm not a SCOM expert but I understand it is basically a monitoring tool.
Normally you would check for failed schedules in Business Objects using the Instance Manager, to filter for failed scheduled reports. Alternatively you could use the Query Builder to report directly against the XI3.1 Repository and return a list of failed instances.
Above workflows can also be coded into the SDK to provide customised feedback on schedule failures
The final option would be to simply set up email Notifications on the schedules to simply email the Administrator in the event of a schedule failure.
With any of the above options it should be possible to link in your SCOM system to read\monitor from this output.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
John

Enhancing web service tool to have further business objects and roots

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to enhance the web service tool in CRM 6.0, to have further business objects and root objects during the creation of a web service.
Currently, there are specific entries, but I want to have additional data in here to create a customer specific word template.
I have found out some tables, but I really do not know how to enhance them and if this is the correct way of adding additional business objects in the web service tool.
Mentioned tables are CRMV_WS_METHODS and CRMV_WS_OBJ_REL.
Has someone of you already did this? Helpful answers will be awarded.
ThanX
AleX

Does nobody have an idea? According to help.sap, only these objects are web service enabled:
-Business Transaction
-Business Partner
-Campaigns
-Case
-Counter
-Installed Base
-Marketing Segments
-Marketing Attributes
-Product
source: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/71/365da2ab81488c8fc9b82fd8eb6f0f/content.htm
But what about other components, such as BuAg (Business Agreement) or ISUMD (IS-U Master Data and further data from the ERP system). These components are in the GenIL, e.g.
BUAG with implementation class CL_CRM_BUAG_IL1 or
ISUMD with implementation class CL_CRM_ISU_IL_MD
Is it necessary to use the Web Service Consumption Tool for creating BOL Objects, although the BUAG/ISUMD are already available in CRM?
If so, what must be exactly done with this Tool. Does anyone have experiences here and can provide me further information?
Thanx and regards
Alex
