SSO2DB / Use Business Objects Credential Mapping

Hi,
We standardized our universe connections to SQL Server on "Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time". There however is an issue with this when scheduling reports, see
1199774 - How to schedule Web Intelligence documents based on SSO2DB universes for Oracle and SQL Server to avoid scheduling issues
Given the solution proposed there is not optimal for us, we are looking at an alternative by standardizing on: "Use Business Objects Credential Mapping" on the universe connection. We want to use OLE DB (SQL Server native connection) for querying.
There are 2 ways to do this:
1. On universe connection, in the tab "Database Middleware", we directly select OLE DB. This way we do not need to create a DSN. We however get: A database error occured. The database error text is: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login failed for user '<user>'.. (WIS 10901)
Apparently the default authentication mode to SQL server is "native". SQL server specific user. When we create a native SQL server <user> with same password as in the mapped database credentials in the CMC, it works fine. Indicating native SQL server authentication is used instead Integrated Windows authentication.
Can we somehow change the authentication mode towards SQL server to Win AD?
Can we get to the SSO2DB functionality in this way?
2. When selecting ODBC on universe connection in tab"Database Middleware", we can still use OLE DB by creating a DSN based on the SQL Server native drivers. This also allows use to fix the DSN on authentication setting "With Integrated Windows authentication".
When we run a WebI report from InfoView and select as one of the objects the "system_User", we get the service account running the SIA. This account is also running the WebIntelligenceProcessingServer.
Does the credential mapping setting not work in this setup?
We expected the DBUSER/DBPWD to be passed.
See also SSO2DB / Use Database Credentials
Quote "Use DB credentials is not kerberos it uses DBuser/DBpass variable for accounts if they are populated. I currently have an escalation in on this with SQL there may be a bug with AD users although SQL users work fine."
Thx in advance!

Ganesh, using BO credentials will only work if you have BO logins that map to specific users in SAP BW.
It may be that you wish to section the BW reporting differently to the SAP reporting or that there are specific requirements for a particular reporting area where you can in effect use an "overrule" to replace an individual's log in with one that has a wider set of access privileges for reporting purposes. Quite why you'd let them report on more than they can see in SAP, I don't know, but there you go!
It's more traditionally used in database-based universes for a variety of reasons, particularly access.

Connection with Business Objects Credential Mapping

Hello,
We are on BOXI 3.1 SP2. We have a SQL Server 2005 database - which recognizes our Windows AD accounts and allows us access based on that.
I am trying to create a Universe connection that can use Business Objects Credential Mapping, so that users can use their AD account to access data. However the login always fails.
Can you please let me know if I am missing any steps here? We normally use SQL server accounts for connection , but we are trying to integrate and use AD security.
Thanks a lot.

When you are using BO Credential mapping in universe connection, you have to set the database userid and password in the user settings in CMC. Have you done that ?
Also make sure that while configuring AD authentication in CMC, you have not selected any option to update users' data source credentials at log on time.

Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

Hello,
We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
Is there any document available on this?
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Need to use business objects with a project, please guide on basics.

Hello
I am a dotnet developer (asp.net with C#). I am sorry I dont know much about Business objects. Our client a financial firm wants to use Business object with a web based application. I couldn't got a clear and good understanding of Business object. The client just said Business objects allows dynamically creating reports even clients can create reports very easily even without knowing SQL.
Kindly guide me about Business Object product and its what component I should check for using it. Please mention some links that can give me introduction.
Thanks a lot,
haansi

Hi
Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
Here you can see half an hour Webinars that give you a good understanding of Business Objects:

J2EE - Reports using Business Objects.

Hi Friends,
We have a requirement to generate reports in our project using Business Objects v5.1.8.
Some users/Actors will have assess the reports through Webi of business objects and other requirement is to do some selection criteria in web page and once you get the right details, we should be able to generate report directly from web page (Calling .rpt file of Business objects), J2EE application calling business object report. (similar to calling PDF file in browser).
Did any body of you did similar thing and is it possible to do through business objects, I know we can do from crystal reports. Do we need any plug-in ?
I would be grateful, If you have sample code and willing to share.
Thank You
srikanth

oh no, you have that as a requirement! :) well, have fun!! (the guy beside me develops our crystal reports stuff all day).

What is the use Business objects over WAD.

Hi Folks,
what is the use Business objects over WAD.
How sap bw is going to use Business Objects.
Thanks,
Cheta.

hi,
A business object is a master record within the Measurement System, and is defined as part of the measurement class within Customizing.
Examples of business objects are wells, well completions, and measurement points.
Once the measurement object is maintained, it is saved with the business object so that when viewed, the measurement object is part of the business object.

Siddharth.

Possible to report on QC using Business Objects?

Hello Geeks,
Please excuse me if I am posting this in wrong thread and help me moving it in right one.
As I am new to Sol Man, I heard that we could use Business Objects reporting on/for/with HPQC.
After going through forum links and sdn search, I found that Sol Man Adapter is used for the same.
My simple question, is, can we use HPQC for BO reporting (Universe, Webi), if yes is Sol Man the adapter which could help me to achiecve it? Also do we have any white paper, which will help me to use Business Objects as a QC reporting tool?
Thanks
P

You need someone who is very comfortable with the QC database Schema.
You will need someone who can develop reports for you on the fly. The BO piece can connect directly to the QC database just like a reporting tool like SSRS does and you can build reports and host them on MOSS or something.
That is what I have done in the past and recommend it at places as a best practice.
Knowing the QC schema inside out is the key piece and you do not need any adapter in this whatsoever.

Restriction when using Business object

hi all,
Currently i want to use Business Object to create a new Company code. After searching the Business object in Transaction SWO1, I find 'BUS0002' can realize it. But there is only one import parameter of method 'create' , that's the company code key id.
Is there any solution to import other parameters,such as description of the company code, currency etc. when using the business object to create the company code?
Thanks in advance.

hi RS
   just writes a test program :
DATA: BEGIN OF objectkey,
         bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
         butxt LIKE t001-butxt,
         ort01 LIKE t001-ort01,
         land1 LIKE t001-land1,
         waers LIKE t001-waers,
         spras LIKE t001-spras,
       END OF objectkey.
objectkey-bukrs = '2010'.
objectkey-butxt = 'My company code description'.
objectkey-ort01 = 'NEW YORK'.
objectkey-land1 = 'US'.
objectkey-waers = 'USD'.
objectkey-spras = 'EN'.
swc_container container.
lv_object_type = 'BUS0002'.
swc_create_object obj lv_object_type ''.
swc_create_container container.
swc_set_element container 'objectkey' objectkey.
swc_set_element container 'CORR_NUMBER' 'EB2K900952'.
swc_set_element container 'SUPPRESSDIALOG' ' '.
swc_call_method obj 'Create' container.
At runtime session, there is no value transfered to the maintainence view except the company code id.
When i go through the program of 'create' method,
i found that:
Call maintenance of CompanyCodeId
CLEAR V_T001.
V_T001-MANDT = SY-MANDT.
V_T001-BUKRS = OBJECT-KEY-COMPANYCODEID.
CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_SINGLE_ENTRY'
       EXPORTING
            ACTION                       = 'INS '
            CORR_NUMBER                  = CORR_NUMBER
            VIEW_NAME                    = 'V_T001'
            SUPPRESSDIALOG               = SUPPRESSDIALOG
            INSERT_KEY_NOT_FIXED         = INSERT_KEY_NOT_FIX
       IMPORTING
            CORR_NUMBER                  = CORR_NUMBER
       CHANGING
            ENTRY                        = V_T001.
so i guess, it should be enhanced some coding here, something like
V_T001-BUTXT = OBJECT-KEY-description ?
but i am not sure about it.
What do you think about it?
Thanks again for your kindly help.
Regards
Vivi

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to use business objects in the program or function module.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Naval,
Ofcourse you can use business objects in your programms/ methods.
You can use function modules or macros (available from include <cntn01>) for using business objects in your application.

How to transfer data between spreadsheets without using Business Objects?

Hello, every time I try and log onto the business objects platform I keep getting "this system can be contacted but there is no central management server running at port 6400". All I need to do is pass variables between spreadsheets. Both files are located in the same folder. Below are the links ive tried but have been unsuccessful to pass data.
(This link I used the swf loader component child and flash variables task Daya posted on Feb 15. However nothing loaded. The link wasnt a link i could display is in a browser. So i kept getting 0% when in preview mode.
Passing values from dashboard to dashboard with Flash Variables
Next I tried the following link. I did everything word for word and was able to display both files on the html page, but no link or connection between them existed. I would select a state and noting happened to the other swf files chart. Does this need to be in the Business Objects platform?
Dashboards 4.0: Connect to an external
Lastly , I used the link below. I followed everything and was able to get interaction from the parent to child however with only the files that were available on this thread. Their URL was this http://myxcelsius.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/child.swf?salesman=Schrute,Dwight. I get the concatenation but I dont get how this URL was generated? How do I develop my URL? My URL is able to display in a browser. My URL is
http://kln-ftvp/KLNPheonix//LinkToReport.htm?fqn=MyEnterprise.Public.graphtest&run=true
SWF Loader shows 100% instead of Dashboard.
Even with my URL being able to display in internet explorer, I still only show 100% and a blank screen. Can anyone help me with any of the issues I am having trouble with? Your help is most appreciated. Thank you.

It looks like you have more than one problems so it might be good to separate them out.
Issue 1 - Logging on to BusinessObjects
You say that when you try log on to the BO Platform you get the error message there is no central management server running on port 6400. I'm assuming you are trying to do this from the Dashboard designer.
Does it work when you try to log on from the web browser?
Make sure that you enter the correct system name in the system field when trying to log on from Designer. If you are unsure, either check what system name is used when you log on from your browser or check with your BO administrator.
Issue 2 - Passing values to a child dashboard
If you try to preview the dashboard in the designer, remember that the swf loader doesn't work in preview mode, so whatever you are trying to display won't be visible.
First of all you need to have 2 separate flash files that works independently of each other. The one that you are planning to use as a child flash, make sure that you create the flash variables so you can pass variables to it and use them to filter your data if that is your requirement. But hold off on that for now.
When you have 2 working flash files, save them both to the BI Launch Pad (or InfoView if you are on 3.1) and make sure they both work there. Then get the opendocument url for the child dashboard and try to open it in your browser directly using this url. If that works, use the same url in the swf viewer in the parent dashboard, save the parent dashboard back to BI Launch Pad and open it. It should now work.
Let me know if you have any problems with these steps.
Cheers,
Josh
