Sharing of Business Objects in Weblogic 8.1

Hi,
I am using weblogic 8.1 for my application development. It contains a Webapplication module and 2 ejb's module and each module contains about 70 Ejb's. The problem is all the modules use some common business objects. Now the business objects need to be changed often and so that i could not give them in the classpath(it removes the hot deployment feature). If i place these business objects on the App-Inf/classes folder directory as well i am getting noclassdeffoundexception..
Kindly help me out
Thanks,
Rajkumar

Hi,
I have the classes packaged correctly under the App-inf folder. But still i get the same error
The domain structure is as follows
Myapplication
|->App-INF->classes->mypackage
|->expressWebApp
|->expressWebEJB
|->expressWebWebEJB
|->Meta-INF
The mypackage contains the exact folder structure like
com\bellatlantic\eo\service\user\User.class
Any idea why this error is comin out
Moreover i cannot give these classes on the classpath as it would remove the hot deployment feature.
right now we have give the classes on the classpath and we have to restart the server for every small change we make
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Rajkumar

  • Can SQL Server (2008 R2/2012) Integration Services connect to Business Objects / Hyperion directly?

    Hi,
    I have a situation where I need to pull data from Business Objects and
    Hyperion using
    SSIS (2008 R2/2012). I did some pro-active research on how to go about implementing this on a couple of Forums and could only figure out the below solution.
    We can create an ODBC DSN / connection for Business Objects and that can be used by SSIS as a connection manager to directly link to the Business
    Objects Universe. (http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=622922&sid=fbb54541e1daacf9714a5672b5ed1314) 
    Question 1 - Has anyone tried to implement this in past? Is this possible directly or can be achieved through some workarounds? sharing inputs/experience on this will be highly appreciated!  
    Question 2 - If this possible in any way , how to get this thing set-up in an environment where SSIS and BO are residing on two different domains/networks. Any way to establish a connection from SSIS
    to the BO instance/server?
    Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this issue.

  • Migrating Unmanaged Reports from CE 10 to Business Objects XI R2

    Hello all,
    We are in the process of migrating our report server from CE 10 to BOJ XI R2.
    I'm having issues trying to access Unmanaged Reports using a URL. In CE10 we were able to access unmanaged reports using a URL such as HTTP://<servername>/crystal/enterprise10/MyReport.rpt  
    But now in BOJ XIR2, when accessing reports using an equivalent URL such as http://<servername>/businessobjects/MyReport.rpt
    or
    http://<servername>/businessobjects/enterprise115/MyReport.rpt I get the below error
    WCA plugin error
    Message:An exception has occurred in the plugin with message:
    Failed to initialize viewrpt component, with path
    <INSTALLDIR>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/wcs/components/libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so.
    Component may be unavailable.
    Is this approach not supported now? I know that in CE10 this approach was deprecated but still supported ( as mentioned in note "1217747 - Unmanaged URL web reporting does not work in Crystal Reports 9 (and later) " )
    Or, is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Is there a simple work around, short of hosting all the reports on the enterprise server and using any SDK.
    Thanks for your help.
    PS:  I copied libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so from CE10 to the required dir in BOJ, and tried again. This time the library error was on another library. Error keeps cascading and I stopped. I know this is not the right approach, but this tells me they must have removed/changed this feature.
    Previous Setup that works
    Crystal Enterprise 10 on Solaris 8
    Sybase 12
    Weblogic
    New Setup that I'm having issue with
    Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 on Solaris 10. Installed SP2 followed by SP5
    MySQL  ( for testing only )

    The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
    All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
    Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
    There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
    I hope this helps

  • Crystal reports / business objects - RAS timeout issue

    Hi,
    I am experiencing a problem in my Java application in viewing a report generated by Crystal Report. Let me start off by saying I'm not entirely sure that the problem is with Weblogic, but at the moment it seems likely to be.
    The Java app uses the RAS in Business Objects to get/display a report. There is a timeout setting on the RAS server and once this has elapsed, the next request from the Java web app causes a timeout error. Code in the Java app handles the timeout and makes a new connection to the RAS and displays the report (the error and re-connection is all seamless to the end user).
    This was all working fine until recently when the server was upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003. Now when the Java app makes a request after the timeout has elapsed there is no error returned and instead the process continues and a blank page is shown on the web page.
    On the Business Objects side of things, one of the log files states a "received invalid request" message which seems to indicate the Java app is sending it something unrecognisable. So my question is, are there any known issues with Weblogic server under Windows 2003 that could be causing this problem? I'm running version 8.1 SP3.
    Since the problem has arose I've tested the Java app on a Windows 2000 and Windows XP environment (both 8.1 SP3) and the timeout occurrance and handling works as expected. I've raised a support request with Business Objects but from previous experience I know they will take a while to respond. So any help about this from you guys will be much appreciated.

  • Scope of  Business Objects in MDM

    Hi MDM Experts
    What is the scope of Business Objects in MDM,
    How MDM can leverage its features and functionalities by using Business Objects.
    Regards
    Gaurav

    Hi
    I know that "MillerCoors" was using SAP MDM & BO DQ
    The comparison between SAP MDM & BO DQ capabilities are listed below. Putting it straight.
    1) Both have data quality capabilities. Validations for SAP MDM & Transforms for BO DQ. But the capabilities of BO DQ are much stronger than SAP MDM
    2) Both have de-duplication functionalities. While SAP MDM does not provide fuzzy matching capabilities, you more effectively find duplicates using BO DQ. But, merging of records, selecting individual fields for merged record is not possible in BO DQ. SAP  MDM has an upper hand here.
    3) Data enrichment is not possible in SAP MDM. BO DQ has built in dictionaries for Address check, zip codes etc.
    Both tools have capabilities to connect to third party service like D&B. SAP MDM via the Enrichment Controller & DQ via web services.
    4) Data Management workflow capabilities of integrating users, data stewards in the data quality process is better in SAP MDM.
    Based on these points, if one is going for a BO DQ + SAP MDM approach, to get the best results we can design all the data quality validations, transformations, de-duplication, enrichment in BO DQ & the master data management activities like data governance, business process etc in SAP MDM.

  • Business Objects Enterprise SDK application.

    Hi All,
    I am planning to develop a custom web application using BOE 3.1 java SDK's.
    I would like to create only application level users, these users would be mapped with a single BO user account to create enterprise session.
    That means, My application "A" will have say 10 users (i.e. 10 userid and passwords). All these users will their different sets of userid's and passwords (custom application users), they can login into the application using application level credentials,  however to login into the enterprise the application will internally use only one BO user credential (i.e. only one named user acount info.)
    eg:
    user1-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
    user2-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
    user3-login -> application>logins using BO userX userid and password>BO Enterprise session created
    and so on.
    The idea is to purchase only one named user licence and create many application level users to login into BOE; but using the same BO user account.
    Is this approach legal in-terms of licensing?
    Would appreciate any help on this.
    Regards,
    Jon

    Hello Adam,
    Thank you very much.
    Please see the following post:
    Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 Licensing
    Tim says:
    names means you can have five users created, any amount logged on concurently (i.e the administrator could have 10 sessions, usera 20 etc no limit) But you can only create 5 different users names
    that means 1 Named user eg: 'A'  can login into the enterprise using his credentials and create any amount of enterprise sessions concurrently for self right??
    Each named user is for a specific user and not to be shared. If you were using concurrent user licensing, than this would be ok to use one enterprise user account.
    5 Concurrent linceses means one user account created in enterprise but, account info can be shared with 5 users, so they can login using same credentials and create five different enterprise sessions?? right?
    so, I can purchase one- 5 concurrent user license and share it with 5 users? OR purchase 5 named user licences and share it with 5 users?
    Either ways my understanding is number of users=number or linceses available (named or concurrent). please correct me if I am wrong.
    Now, which one is cost effective named user lincenses or concurrent?
    Awaiting your response.
    Regards,
    Jon

  • Business Objects XI R2 Launchpad issue

    Hi All,
    We just recently upgraded to Weblogic 9.2 and we are using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 on the server. Everything was working fine on the previous version of Weblogic 8.1 SP4.  
    Scenario 1.
    Open up new webpage with the launchpad and you click on Central Management Console Link then you ALT TAB back to the Launch Pad and Click InfoView Link you get an Error "From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1";
    Scenario 2.
    Open up new webpage with the launchpad and you click
    on InfoView Link then you ALT TAB back to the Launch Pad and Click Central Management Console Link you get an Error "From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1";
    Scenario 3.
    Open up new webpage with the launchpad and you click
    either InfoView Link or Central Management Console Link then you ALT TAB back to the Launch Pad and REFRESH the web page you get an Error "From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1";
    Any help would be great in helping us solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Cause of this issue :
    Once the Job Server recieves the scheduled job and spawns a new child process, the child process is unable to complete the job. The child process constantly is waiting to load the job. Looking further into the log and specifically the startup script, the -port option was incorrectly used (-restart-port) and didn't allow the child process to bind to the correct port using the correct DNS name. 
    In Order to resolve this issue follow the steps given below..
    1.Open CCM
    2. Stop Server
    3. Right Click Server and go to Properties
    4. insert -port option in to command line, example below
    ex. "
    win2k3\C$\ProgramFiles\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\JobServerFullClient.exe" -service -name win2k3.Desktop_IntelligenceJobServer  -ns win2k3 -objectType CrystalEnterprise.FullClient -lib pp_procFC  -jsTypeDescription "Desktop Intelligence Job Server" -maxDesktops 0 -restart -port win2k3.it.bo.example
    5. Save setting and restart server.
    Hope it helps.

  • Business Query (or Business Objects) transparent sort

    Post Author: waldopepper
    CA Forum: Older Products
    We're using Business Query 6.5.1 to insert data into Excel and we've been doing for a while using a SQL 2000 database and making use of the useful 'transparent sort' feature that lets you order the query results by fields not actually in the selection.We've just started a similar project using a different database (same server) and whenever we create queries for this new database, the transparent sort button is disabled with Business Queries.The help file states: "Transparent sorts are only available if the database at your site supports them"
    It's definitely the database that is preventing this - we've used the same ODBC connection, Universe etc as the other DB that does work, just changing the DB it's accessing and it doesn't work when we switch databases to our new one.Does anyone have any idea what is preventing this? User permissions/rights, collation type etc?thanksw

    Hi Denis,
    Thanks for your response. I am aware that BO v5 is an outdated software but my client is still using it.
    I tried to replicate the BusinessQuery issue by using my citrix profile but I also got the same error whereas my colleague didn't have any BQ  issues with his profile.
    I assume that the citrix team had installed Business Objects v5 in shared environment on WTS long ago and all Citrix BO users will access Business query module with their own profiles. But the BOMAIN.key file didn't copied into shared folder which is under Business Objects installable folder and Citrix team had copied it at some local drive for some reason
    I asked the Citrix team to copy the BOMAIN.key file to affected user profile. Waiting to hear user response on output.
    Kind Regards,
    Srinivas

  • Portal logoff not clearing business objects SSO connection

    Is there a way to clear the saved SSO information from the business objects session in the background?
    The scenerio;
    On a computer shared by multiple users
    UserA Logs on to the SAP Enterprise portal, navigates to an iview that uses OpenDocument to run an xcelsius dashboard.  Single signon works great and dashboard is displayed.  This dashboard resfreshes on open and data retrieved is correct based on this users autorizations in BW.  The user Clicks the logoff link in the masthead of the Enterprise portal, the portal session and its SAP logon ticket are closed and the Portal logon page is redisplayed.
    UserB logs on the the SAP Enterprise portal, navigates to the same iview, the dashboard runs and retireves the data, but the data displayed is based on the BW autorizations for UserA.
    I verified that the SSO connection that userB is using to retrieve data is left over from UserA.  (I did this by simply opening an InfoView window and it shows the userid of UserA in the Welcome message.
    Closing the Browser window between each user login takes care of the problem, but is not really something we can count on our users doing.

    Hi Gail,
    We are also facing same issue as you had, Integrated BI launchpad with Portal and SSO is working fine via portal. But issue is already opened reports or Business objects will not clearing as you had after log off and lo-gin back.
    Can i setup any property to clear the BOBJ cookies or Can i create sap note for logoff option button on BOBJ via portal.
    Can you please suggest me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,

    and so on.
    The idea is to purchase only one named user licence and create many application level users to login into BOE; but using the same BO user account.
    Is this approach legal in-terms of licensing?
    Would appreciate any help on this.
    Regards,
    Jon

    Hello Jon,
    Thank you very much.
    Please see the following post:
    Business Objects Enterprise 3.1 Licensing
    Tim says:
    names means you can have five users created, any amount logged on concurently (i.e the administrator could have 10 sessions, usera 20 etc no limit) But you can only create 5 different users names
    that means 1 Named user eg: 'A'  can login into the enterprise using his credentials and create any amount of enterprise sessions concurrently for self right??
    Each named user is for a specific user and not to be shared. If you were using concurrent user licensing, than this would be ok to use one enterprise user account.
    5 Concurrent linceses means one user account created in enterprise but, account info can be shared with 5 users, so they can login using same credentials and create five different enterprise sessions?? right?
    so, I can purchase one- 5 concurrent user license and share it with 5 users? OR purchase 5 named user licences and share it with 5 users?
    Either ways my understanding is number of users=number or linceses available (named or concurrent). please correct me if I am wrong.
    Now, which one is cost effective named user lincenses or concurrent?
    Regards,
    Jon

    yes, it is mandatory to create universe because the data base have the information about your complete  project. so cannot retrive all data,make only required data from database to desigining the universe.
    the universe is a layer that maintain the RDBMS tables and is restrict the data from corporated data
    All the best.

  • EEWB business object

    Hi Experts,
    I am a starter in WebUI. I read a blog - [Enhance CRM views EEWB|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13987]
    In above blog in create extension wizard they are giving input for EEW business object and extension type. Assume I have a account overview screen in CRM and I want to add a custom field for this screen. Can you please tell me how to find the EEW business object and extension type for this scenario. Is there some tcode or some table where EEW bus object for different CRM screens in maintained which can be used in EEWB Tcode. Please share your valuable inputs.
    - Bharath

    Hi bharth,
    There is no separate Tcode to find out EEW business object and extension type ,
    Each extension type contains a structure by enhancing the structure we add new field to that structure .
    all related structure are grouped and assigned to one business object  . for example while working with employee details
    builcontactperson search .
    if you want to check all the relation's then enter tcode Genil_model_browser . there enter component set all and execute
    there u can find all relations.
    Regards
    Siva

  • Data federator in  business objects

    Hi,
    What is the use of data federator in business objects.
    Regards,
    G

    HI,
    The only option in this case is to 1) use Business Objects' Data Federator to bring XYZ data and BW (new) data together, 2) creating a relational universe, and 3) creating Crystal / WEBI reports using the relational universe; see Picture 1.
    >> You can also combine the data by using a MultiProvider in BW which is access the data in BW and the data in the legacy system and an additional alternative is to move all the data into BW.
    After 20 years goes by, and we no longer need to report on data housed in XYZ anymore, the environment will be turned off.
    1) When this happens, wouldn't we want to remove Data Federator and the relational universe from the scenario ?
    >> That depends on the approach you took

  • SAP Log on into Business Objects server not working (Error FWB 00014)

    Hello,
    I recently installed Business Objects XI 3.1 Edge series, I am able to logon to enterprise and everything is working fine. I am even able to import roles from SAP system but I have two problems.
    1. Logging on to enterprise using SAP user: I am getting the following error message when I choose SAP in the Athentication and enter SAP username and password and click log on.
    "Account Information Not Recognized: All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses. (FWB 00014)".
    2. Logging on to SAP system through SAP Logon pad: When I enter my username and passord in SAP system from the same server as I installed BusinessObjects I am getting a run time error.
    Did any one of you had the same problem or does any one of you have any clue how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I assume that you have a key for named licences (You can check this in the CMC under Licence keys).
    What you need to do is to go in the CMC, navigate to Authentication->SAP->Options and select the Named users option.
