Master Thesis in SAP Business Intelligence Area

Hi ,
This is Mohsin , i am doing my Masters program in Software Engineering and i am quiet curious about pursuing my Masters thesis in Business intelligence area , could anyone please guide which is the best area to go for the thesis.
Any direction !
Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi Moshin,
You have to learn SAP BW 3.5 along with ABAP and BI 7.0. Because BW 3.5 is the earlier version of BI 7.0.
BO is widely used for Reporting which can work on any database.
It's better to join in SAP Authorized Institutes like the following. It may be expensive.
1. Siemens
2. Yash
Etc..........

Please, describe
1) Upgrading: example BW3.0 to 7
2) Stability of system (early version SP1, SP2 or stable SP20 et so on)
3) type of OBJECT: InfoOBJ, ODS, Cubes, Auth, Query, Layouts, Web
4) type of problem
5) how you encountered problem ( user testing, developer testing)
6) type pf test (with standard program....custom, manual)
6) type of resolution ( with notes, SP...)
8 point for every interesting answer.
Thank you,
Claudio

Hi,
First and foremost you need to understand that when you upgrade from a BW 3.x ver to 04s (BI 7) , there's a lot of changes as the 04s upgrade brings in a lot of changes. First and foremost you need to deal with the Java component. There's going be changes to your ODS, rules, etc.
So the recommended path is first do a technical upgrade and then convert to the functional upgrade in parts.
You also need to look at impacts to any third party tools like ETL, crystal, etc during the upgrade.
There's significant changes to the Security too.
For testing first start from your lab env (if any) mostly for looking to see what problems you'll encounter during the actual upgrade itself.
Then move onto a sandbox client and do thorough baseline testing before the upgrade.
You'll have to test all functionalites, security, reporting, customizations , basically everything under the sun and you might still miss something.
Once the upgrade is done, you have to do post upgrade testing against the baseline logs. Its here that you'll come across and catch errors. Mostly they'll have corrections for these through OSS notes. Its recommended you use Solution Manager for this upgrade as well.
If you don't find any solutions through OSS then you need to create a message for SAP again through OSS.
Before you begin though go through all the release notes and features that 04S brings with it to understand how and where the impacts will be to your system.
Cheers,
Kedar

Hello Bhuvana,
I recommend topost this query to the [Integration Kits - SAP |BusinessObjects Integration Kits; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all SAP Kit queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Ph.D. research in Business Intelligence

Working for 5 years in the area of SAP Business Intelligence I am looking for an opportunity to obtain a Ph.D. in this area.
The aim is to be able to continue to work as a free lance senior SAP BI consultant and meanwhile to obtain the Ph.D. and so improving my knwoledge and skillset .
I have a master degree in
Economics (Business economics) at the University of Ghent (Belgium) 1978.
Tax and accounting research at the University of Ghent (Belgium) 1988.
I have a certificate
SAP BW 3.0 (2005)
SAP BI 7.0 (2006)
I have been working on several SAP BI projects including withthe integration with Business objects.
Thanks for informing the possibilities.

Hi Guy
I received my doctorate from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, a very dedicated SAP University Alliances member, See www.unisg.ch and look for their English pages (choose the language at the top of the page) and the doctoral studies programs. International Business, my area, is headed by Prof. Martin Hilb. Even though these are full-time programs, he allowed me and some other students to pursue our degrees while working full-time in other countries. Prof. Hilb also encouraged us to find other professors on campus to supervise us who were more directly involved in research in our area of expertise - i.e. strategy, IT, corporate governance (my interest), finance, business innovation, etc.
I was able to condense my residence periods to just a few weeks over the first year - most others used 3 semesters (1.5 years). We used teleconferences over my dissertation semesters and I returned for my defense in person. I also was required to be there for my graduation. I was living in Germany and the USA at the time. But I know of others who were living in France, USA, and even China.The times we spent in Switzerland were condensed It was quite a challenge, but worth it. St. Gallen is a founding member of the Council of European Management Schools (CEMS) which includes recognized leading research universities in business and economics in the world.
I also had a colleague at Reutlingen University, a fellow professor who while he worked full-time as a vice-dean and then vice president started and completed his doctorate at Erasmus University in the Netherlands in operations management. This is also a very highly regarded university. There are many other examples of people pursuing doctoral studies parallel to work all over the world. Of course, it is quite difficult, but you know that.
You could use your business network contacts, including in your own firm, to link to professors at some universities, UA members are listed under "University Alliances Around the World" on the right hand side of the following page https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/overview of our UA community portal. Most professors want full-time graduate students to live and work full-time for them doing research and teaching. However, some are open to very experienced people with innovative ideas to research parallel to working, because they bring diversity and different perspectives to the table.
Good Luck!
Bob

Business Intelligence in Ireland

Hi great ones,
I am currently working as a technical support analyst at the moment but I want to change to SAP Business Intelligence.
I am very new to SAP and I am living in Ireland, going through job adverts I have not really been seeing BI jobs in Ireland.
Please I need an advive if I should change for another SAP area or I am in the right direction.
Your advice will be highly appreciated,
Bankole

Hi Bankole,
I am not sure how much you know about SAP products: SAP R/3 (the name has undergone some changes, of late) is the product used for day-to-day business transactions. It is an OLTP system. SAP BW is another product which can acquire the data in SAP R/3 and other legacy systems and provide analysis of the same from a strategic perspective. It is an OLAP system.
SAP BW is a very interesting and rewarding career area. There are opportunities all over the world.
However, to come up to speed quickly, a background in having worked in SAP R/3 as a Business Analyst or as an ABAP Developer for a couple of years would be ideal.
If you like programming, getting into an ABAP developer role initially in a SAP R/3 environment, would be a good start. It is an equally good career area, requiring less business process knowledge to start with. It would also give you the time to understand the different business processes in an organization as mapped in a SAP R/3 system.
I would not dissuade you from getting trained in BW and seeking a BW career immediately, but then you may face a steeper learning curve and may need to operate with a lot of grey areas around you.
Best of luck!
Mathew.

Difference between SAP BI 7.0 and SAP Business objects

Dear All,
I would like to know what is the difference between SAP BI 7.0 and SAP Business objects.What Advantage will we have if we implement sap business objects rather then SAP BI 7.0.WOur management wants to implement

Hi,
Strategies for better reports, queries, Web reporting, formatting, dashboards, cockpits, planning, and performance management
advantages of BO
Crystal Reports XI is the latest version of the report writer from Business Objects. Local reports guru David McAmis takes the new version for a spin.
Most developers might know Crystal Reports from versions included in Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and other popular developer IDEu2019s such as BEA Workshop, C# Builder, Delphi 2005, JBuilder, WebSphere.
In this latest installment both report and application developers have something to be excited about as there are a host of new features for report design and integration. Hereu2019s a run-down of what you can expect in this release.
What's New in Xcelsius version 4.5
Xcelsius now provides the following new components:
Candlestick and OHLC Chart components
The open-high-low-close and candlestick charts are primarily used to display stock data. Each marker corresponds to the four values, which are represented as lines attached to the marker on the OHLC chart and as colors on the candlestick chart. Open displays the opening price of the stock. High displays the highest price the stock achieved on that day. Low displays the lowest price the of the stock on that day. Close displays the closing price of the stock.

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

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.
If you are using the BusinessObjects tool, you should join [ASUG|www.asug.com]

Please only post SAP Business Objects products related questions here

Hi
Thanks for reading.
Unfortunately many people get confused with the term BI which was used for SAP BW at one time. With the acquisition of Business Objects some product names have changed.
SAP BW is still SAP BW, please post in the respective forums: /community [original link is broken]
Business Intelligence in this forum refers to the these SAP Business Objects products:
SAP Business Objects Enterprise
SAP Business Objects 4.0
SAP Business Objects Intelligence Platform 4.0

Hi Suresh
Thank you for the detailed response. I tried your suggestions and neither works.
LOV issue:
Within the Business View manager, i right-click on the LOV object and click "Edit List of Values..." and i get a dialog box that only shows me Available fields, List of Value Fields used, description field, and Referenced objects. Along with buttons for Clear Instance & Refersh Status.
I have read similar posts to what you suggested but never get to the same place as described.
Please advise....
as for _Max Number LOV _
I have researched this as well and found the same suggestion you made. But the PRM file does not have that value, and the file contains all XML code
Now what???
Thanks
Mike
