Tutorials for starting with SAP Business Objects Explorer: Excel / Crystal
Hello,
we want to start with SAP Business Objects Explorer. I have been searching for tutorials for while without success.
Are there any tutorials or documentation that shows how to work with excel-files as data source or how to upload Crystal reports files (.rpt) to the Explorer?
Thanks in advance for helpful hints.
Best regards,
André
As far as I know the SAP BUsiness Explorer car retrieve data either from a universe or from the SAP BWA. So hat you should be looking for is information on how to set Excel files as data sources for universes.

BI Accelerator used in combination with SAP Business Objects Explorer
Hi ,
If you use SAP Netweaver BWA and SAP Business Objects Explorer Blade, do you only get the full benefit with using SAP BO Explorer, or will the same queries ran in BEx 7 Anaylser also benefit from the in memory OLAP processing?
I'm guessing that the SAP BOE Blade will only benefit SAP BOE.
It would be great if the current BWA had the ability to in-memory the OLAP part of the processing, as then it might be worth the hassle of getting it installed.
Thanks,
JamieHi
May be the note : 1384526, could give you an insight.

SAP Business Objects Explorer app Sybase SUP settings
Hello Community,
Is there a guide or a how to for setting up the SAP Business Objects Explorer application with Sybase Unwired Platform?
I found a guide to setup the SAP BusinessObjects Mobile application but nothing for Explorer.
Could someone please advise?
Thank you
JaredHi All,
If SUP comes is introduced in the landscape then the whole licensing structure changes then when used where we directly connect to BI server from the SAP BI app instead of introducing the SUP in the landscape.So what will be advantages of using the SUP against when we compare the licensing part in both the system landscape with SUP and without SUP.Also if we directly use the app with the BI server then apps user license will also play some role ??.I am new to the Mobile BI division and so please forgive me if i have asked some silly question and also some starter links are welcomed.
Thanks & Regards,

SAP Business Objects Explorer on top of SAP BW
Dear Experts,
My Requirement:
- Use BO Explorer on top of SAP BW ( no HANA, no BIA ). This is to provide the users a set of related data and they can analyse the way they want.
Question-1:
- What should be the BW data volume that I should keep in mind for BO Explorer to have good performance. My concern is primarily because we don't use BIA or HANA.
Question-2:
- Can BO Explorer directly connect to a BW Infocube/Multiprovider or it has to connect only through Universes
Regards.Hi,
I will suggest you Go for SAP Business Objects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office,ity can connect bex query directly & Bw/Infocubes also.
Regarding Performance we can do In BI Itself depends on Business needs,: modelling , extraction, reporting 3 levels in BI .

SAP PCM 7.0 Connectivity with SAP Business Objects
Hi All
We are trying to integrate SAP PCM 7.0 FP5 with Business Objects. The prime purpose is to fetch PCM data into Xcelsius dashboard and WebI reports via BO Universe.
We are sruggling to understand the plugins required to do this.Since other SAP documentation states that SAP BO Connectivity pack is required which is a part of SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management 7.5 Support Package 06
But , we understand that SAP BO PCM75 Support pkg06 cannot be installed on SAP PCM 7.0.
Also, Please kindly help me in understanding if SAP PCM 7.0 connectivity with BOXIR3 (without using BW NW layer) is possible or it needs to be upgraded to SAP PCM 7.5
ThanksHello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.

How to manage a IFBA big file and attachment in workflow environment?
3, Portal integration
If IFBA could be integrated into IBM portal and how?
4, Partialy data input and authorization control
As to the IFbA used in a workflow,is it possible to set form properties and rights so that only permited users at some stage can see/change some specific fields. Here it should have some dynamic adaptability to different users, that is different users will have different experience to the same form.
Thanks in advance!

Sreekanth ReddyAtul,
Check if you are able to login into Manage Servers through Central Configuration Manager.
If thats successful, the issue is either with Krb5.ini or bscLogin.conf file.
You can check http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1631734 and download the white paper to go through the settings.
Make sure there are no white spaces in Krb5.ini and the format is correct. -

Hello,
I have a computer with SAP Business Objects 4.1 SP2 and SAP PowerDesigner 16.5.3.2 (4343).
When I try to enable SAP BusinessObjects Add-ins I get the error message "Add-in SAP BusinessObjects license check failed".
Anyone can help ?
Kr,
ThierryHello Marc,
As ex-Sybase customer, I wasn't aware about a version "Standard Edition" vs another one. I just made a control about which version is installed.
I made a control and I confirm the following elements:
- It isn't PowerDesigner "Standard Edition"
- Client platform is Windows 8.1
- I noticed a problem with "gacutil.exe" during initial installation of version 16.5.
- Associated license is "EnterpriseArchitect"'
- I confirm I cannot activate several add-ins such as "SAP Business Objects", "SAP HANA" and "SAP ERP"
- I see all add-ins mentioned before in PowerDesigner add-ins menu (General options)

Package for Business Objects Explorer
Hello,
can anyone say what the "name" of the package is that we have to order to get access to ASP Business Objects Explorer software?
We want to use the non accelerated version of Explorer first.
I am asking here to speed up the process - I want to give the information to our account manager.
Thanks in advance,
AndréIt is sold as an add-on. I don't believe there is a 'package' name specifically. Package names are usually used for the SAP ABAP or JAVA based products. But the product name you're looking for is listed on Service MarketPlace as "SBOP Explorer XI 3.2". The Application Group name is: "SAP BusinessObjects Portfolio"

Integartion of Business objects explorer with ABAP ALV
Hello all,
We have a requirement to integrate one of our applications with business objects explorer. The complete details is as listed below:
1. Our application basically collects feedback provided by users and then displays an ALV with all the feedback ratings received for a topic.
2. It summarizes to the user the average rating received, number of 1star ratings , 2 star ratings etc.,
3. Instead of showing this in the ALV format we have requirement where we want to upload this data into the Business Objects explorer so that the user has a more user-friendly and intutive display of the same data rather than in a ALV.
Any inputs on how we can trigger business objects explorer from ABAP code and pass the data in the internal table used for ALV display to it would be very helpful.
Warm Regards,
Naveen MHI Naveen,
there has been a demo of this by Enterprise Geeks during TechED 2009 and the code is posted on their website.
the other option is to export the data to Excel and then use BusinessObjects Explorer in the cloud for example.

Hello,
Has anyone installed SAP Business Objects Analysis for Office 1.4 SP6 on Microsoft Office (Excel) 64-Bit Version. I am getting message "The launcher was not able to connect Analysis Add-In. Make sure that Analysis Add-In is not disabled by Office Application".
When I activated the Analysis Add-In, I am getting below Error: "Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'analysis' add-in." and it is forcing to disable the add-in and asking to check for if any update is available. It was working fine on 32-bit Excel version.
Thanks,
RamHi Tammy,
Thanks for the response. It is working fine on 32-bit Office version (with OS 64-bit). I checked the compatibility (OSS 1466118 ) and it supports Microsoft 64-bit office version. Just wanted to see if anyone had successful installation.
Thanks,
