Upgrading CE 10 to Business Objects XIR3 by using Import Wizard

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI3, I have installed Business Objects XI3 on a new server, I will be using Import Wizard to import Objects, groups, Users ect... Do I need to copy the contents of the CE10 FRS input and output directories to the BOE XI3 FRS input and output directories?
Please help.
Thanks,
Burhan

Do I need to copy the contents of the CE10 FRS input and output directories to the BOE XI3 FRS input and output directories?
No. Do not do this. The import wizard will migrate your objects and copy them to the FRS in 3.x format for you, nothing manual like this is needed.

Tim

Translation Manager Business Object XIr3, problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the Translation Manager Business Object XIr3.
If I understood well, it permits multilanguage users to see for example reports with their own language, setting up the preferencies, logging in InfoView.
Now I have installed it and I choosed two languages: English(UK) and Russian.
The problem is explained better in the following table:
user(PVL)        |Source Language         |Substitution Language        |Reports Viewed
English              English                     English               English
English             English                                    Russian               Russian
English             Russian                     English             English (sometimes I can see only Universe Objects translated)
English               Russian               Russian             Russian
Russian              Russian               Russian             Russian
Russian             English                                   Russian               Russian
Russian              Russian                English            Russian     (sometimes I can see only Universe Objects translated)
Russian              English                     English            Russian (sometimes I can see only Universe Objects translated)
I must explain that:
-user(PVL) is the Preferred Viewing Language selected in the preferencies
-source language and substitution language are the languages selected in the Translation manager interface
-Reports viewed is the way I can read reports, after refreshing query.
Now I ask you if, according to you, Translation manager may has this kind of problem, and, in this case, if you know how to resolve it.
Please answer me only here in this post.

Make sure to change your regional settings in the desktop control panel to tell BOE what language you would like to interact with

Business Objects XIR3.1 and BI4.1 Licensing structure

Hello,
We have a number of named (BOEP) Business Objects Ebterprise professional licenses for XIR3.1.
Q1. I am assuming that any named user on the BOEP, should be able to use any of the Server / Desk top products.
I have been advised by my acct manager that we need a separate licence / cost for using Webi Rich Client tool (available on the desktop ?
Is this correct ?
Is there a list of document to tell me what is Desktop tools (Deski, Webi , Designer0 and Server tools (Infoview, Webi) etc ate are covered by BOEP license ?
We are planning to migrate to BI4.1
Hence, What tools are covered for a BOEP named user license. In particular we want to continue using Deski in compatible mode .
Any documents, help or enlightenment on this will be of great assistance.
Yes, I can go to my SAP BO acct manager - but due to mixed messages I want to get this sorted
Thanks in Advance
Sanjay

Which business object to be used BUS2015 or BUS2009

Hi Workflow gurus,
I have an issue in sending external mail when Purchase requisition is saved.
Issue:
When purchase requisition is saved, I need to send an external mail to MS outlook of the approver. Here the issue is whether I should use the business object BUS2105 or BUS2009.
BUS2015 is for Overall release. BUS2009 is item-level release. Since I need to send one mail to each approver based on item value.
Here I am using BUS2015 and get the line item details like price, purchase group and release code from the table and segregating items based on item value and release code.
Then sending one mail to each approver stating You have PR and line items 1, 3, to approve.
However our on-site people asking me to use the business object BUS2009, Please let me know am I doing correct or I should use business object BUS2009. If I have to use business object BUS2009 how should I sent the external mail to individual approver for multiple line items.
Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
Regards

Hi..
Check release strategy used for PR. If release strategy is configured for overall release of requisition, you can use BUS2105. (Check IMG > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase requisition > release procedure > set up procedure with classification > release groups. Check tick on overall release)
In case release strategy is configured as item level release, use objet BUS 2009.

In which topics business objects is/will using cal?

Hi, I repeat my question from my last post as a new topic. In which areas is or will your company business objects using the new language?Klaus 

Hi Klaus,
Sorry about that. Â
The Quark Framework was designed to allow the creation of layers of semantic models (functional DSL's/combinator libraries) which provide the building blocks for applications to build specific data behaviour.Â Our motivating interest was therefore around how data can be described, transformations composed and target data projected from a general data manipulation 'engine'.Â By having the Quark Platform be very general, and all the data modeling and manipulation driven by dynamically loadable modules with dynamically composable elements, you have a powerful stack that can be extended and customised, and you provide a very rich capability to applications (who can use this 'canvas' as a way to achieve a broad range of bespoke data behaviour).Â Plus, of course, the level of validation in this sort of system is so much higher than a 'normally' implemented bespoke OO stack would be (that's not to say you can't create abstractions that add this... but ultimately you end up with something like the Quark Framework!).
In the Quark Framework we have seeded, the highest-level, most abstract data module you can see is the Sql module (and SqlBuilder etc.).Â However, we have created a large number of even more abstract modules for describing all sorts of data semantics.Â These have been and are being used in commercial products, as well as other prototypes in both the Business Objects Research Group and the wider Labs organisation.
I have recently added a "Sneak Peek" section to the main Quark Framework Labs page. Â This has a few videos of a Labs project that will soon be available for download.Â In this case, this is only a Labs prototype, but if you watch the videos, you will see functionality that manipulates data using the aforementioned Quark Framework modules.Â Take special note of the what the Designer can do, and imagine that, as the user is combining data objects and adding calculations, elements of various 'functional DSLs' are being combined to express objects at a higher level of data abstraction.Â Ultimately, these compositions can be transformed to other data languages, or to functional systems that manipulate data values directly.
BTW, we do not use the Quark Framework in parts of applications where regular OO seems 'more appropriate' (UI, comms, application state logic, persistence, etc.) - i.e. most of the volume.Â We are specifically interested in this technology where we want more formal, declaratively described behaviour and the robustness of strictly-typed composition.Â To us, this pertains best to data and metadata description and transformation.
Does that answer your question?

Business Objects / BODS Upgrade

Hi Guys.
We have an end to end Business Objects solution implemented in our environment consisting of BODS (XIR3), Business Objects (XIR3) and Crystal Reports (2008). We are planning to upgrade the BODS and Business Objects environments to the latest version but would first like just the BODS to be upgrade as the support for the application has now been ceased by SAP. I believe for the same we would require to use IPS as BOE will still be at the old version and in the latest version BOE and BODS have been integrated.
Please can you suggest any documentation which we can refer for such scenarios and will we be facing any problems once we upgrade BOE in future in integrating it with BODS as that will be dependent on IPS. Any information on the Pros and Cons on using this methodology will be very helpful.
Please let me know if in case any further details are required. Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Cheers,
Shazin

Hi
since there is no really an upgrade package from XI R2 to XI 3.x you have to do a new XI 3.x installaiton and copy afterwards your repository contents from the old to the new system. THis means that the old system is always available for your users. The migration process is officially supported and SAP should provide support for any related issues.
I would recommend to start on both sides with the most actual Service pack and fix pack version. For XI R2 this should be SP6 with FP 6.1 (note: you should have at least SP4 on XI R2 in order to do the migration) and for XI 3.1 this should be SP 2 with FP 2.6.

Error while accessing Method from Business Object

Hello Experts,
I have created a business object ZBUS7051 by using BUS7051 as a Supertype. I have crated a method GET_DATA in ZBUS7051. If I use BUS7051, Method GET_DATA in a standard task, getting a message that Method GET_DATA not defined for object type BUS7051.
Why I am getting this error? Is there way I can use BUS7051-GET_DATA instead of ZBUS7051-GET_DATA.
The workflow triggering event is BUS7051 u2013 CREATED. In the workflow binding, system is showing a warning that u2018Conversion from BO.BUS7051 to BO.ZBUS7051 can cause data-related errorsu2019. How to fix this? Please let me know.
- Krishna.

Thanks to everyone.
I have delegated the custom business object to super type BO 7051. I triggered the workflow using T.Code: SWUE, BO: BUS7051. Event: CREATED. But the workflow is resulted an error as given below.
Problems occurred when generating a mail
Error '9' when calling service 'SO_OBJECT_SEND'
Work item 000000503335: Object BUS7051 method WAIT_1_MINUTE cannot be executed
Object does not exist
Object does not exist
Object does not exist
Variables of the work item text cannot be generated
Syntax error in expression &NOTIFICATION.NUMBER&
(This is a Wait Step, Created in ZBUS7051, Method: WAIT_1_MINUTE)
Since the delegation has done, I can say BUS7051 - WAIT_1_MINUTE, instead of ZBUS7051- WAIT_1_MINUTE. Is it correct?
Could some one please let me know, How to fix the above issue?

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.
Thanks

Need Ideas for creating and using Custom Business Object

Hello Guys,
I am developing an application which uses a Request->Approve->Create approach for creating Purchase documents.
Now I am a little puzzled about how to make use of the Business Object BUS2014.
The application I am developing has its own unique 'Request Number' (say REQID) which will point to the Request for Creation of a purchase order.
Whenever a Request is created (from a Z-Tcode) a workflow needs to be initiated and it has to be sent to the approver.
The Purchase Document will be created once the approver approves.
Now my confusion here is, if I use BUS2014, the object will be instantiated only during the final step of the workflow. But I need an instance during the beginning of the Requestor ->Approver negotiations as I am playing with events. These events needs an Object_key.
How should I proceed here?
Should I create a new logical Business Object like ZPOREQ where I have the above mentioned REQID as the key?
And should I have an attribute of type BUS2014 inside the custom BO?
How will I make use of the methods like BUS2014.Create etc which I may need to create the purchase document?
Any small direction will be a huge help for me to get used to this wilderness.

Hi,
You should continue with the ABAP class idea. The business objects are kind of "obsolete" already, and if there is a need to create a new "object", ABAP classes are the way to go. Business objects are still useful, but I normally use them only when an existing standard business object fulfills the requirements (possibly with slight additions) which is almost never.
From my point of view you can use the existing class. Depending on the circumstances I normally have just one class that I use for both workflow and the possible other functionality that is required, but you have to understand that I have this goal in my mind already when starting the development process. As your class most probably has many useful features already (such as you have the header and item data as attributes etc. (if I understood correctly?), these are also useful in in workflow (class attributes will be available in WF container etc.).
If you are hesitant to use the same class directly in your workflow, you could also create a new class ZCL_REQUEST_FOR_WF (with the workflow interface), and then simply add your existing class ZCL_WF_REQUEST as an attribute to this new class. Then this new workflow class could include the pure workflow stuff, and your existing class the non-workflow stuff. But this most probably will not make much sense - just implement the if_workflow interface in your existing class (this is just one possibility that you might consider.)

Karri

Business objects

Hi,
I have no idea about business objects.What are business objects and as a functional consultant what I can do with business objects meaning can I give some additional things with very little efforts to my client or may be some convinience in use of SAP using business objects ?
WHat and where business objects can be useful ?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
What are business objects and as a functional consultant what I can do with business objects?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/59/ae4484488f11d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Business objects are real world entities modeled as objects in an information system.
Business objects encapsulate both data structures and the functions applied to the data, but hide their full complexity from other objects. This encapsulation of data and functions makes it easier to modify program components, because you can program with the relevant entities without having to know all the implementation details. You can also reuse existing functions.
WHat and where business objects can be useful ?
Client programs access business objects by reading their attributes, or by calling the methods that make up the objects interface:
Attributes
Attributes describe the data stored in an object through a set of properties. They provide direct read access to the data structures of objects, but client programs cannot change them from outside.
Methods
Methods provide a way to encapsulate the data structures of business objects, and to process them. When accessing an object, the client program calls a method with parameters and gets back return parameters.
Interface
The interface is the set of methods associated with a business object, and determines how an object interacts with the outside world.
The client program defines the object types to be used and, at runtime, creates object instances of those object types.
SAP business objects are managed in R/3's Business Object Repository (BOR).

Naveen.

CAF Business Objects in Separate Database

We currently have an application written in CAF which is using Business Objects/Entity Services using local persistence. I believe the local persistence automatically uses the default datasource defined in the SAP WAS portal server and creates the tables in that database.
The requirement is to have that CAF application data stored in a different database instead of the portal database. There are ways to install a separate datasource in the SAP WAS server to point to a different database, but I don't know how to make CAF Business Objects use that newly installed datasource, or whether it is possible?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
it seems I've to achieve that by using associations.
But how should the Scenario look for my example?
The relation is the following:
Each application has exactly one division.
Is it correct like that?
DIVISION: Association to APPLICATION ("DivisionApplication"), CROSS_BO, ONE_TO_MANY
BO APPLICATION: Association to DIVISION ("ApplicationDivision"), CROSS_BO, NONE_TO_ONE
Another question:
I can now add an association to APPLICATION through the service browser by choosing the association name "ApplicationDivision" and putting the 32 digit the DIVISION that I want to associate.
Is that the only way to do it in service browser?
As this is impossible for business users, do I have to create a WD for them to maintain those values in an easier way?
Thanks.

Get hierarchal list of business objects

Hi,
I'm using SWO_QUERY_OBJTYPES to get a list of business objects, but I need to display a hierarchy similar to the BAPI explorer. What business object can I use to browse business objects? If no business object is available, what function calls are available to get at the data?

Business Object - BDoc Supported Bo

Hello CRM Gurus,
This question is related to BOL Object layer.
When we create the Business Object of type BDoc Supported,
1.Why is the Write BDoc section of the Business Object becomes disabled with the BDoc name specified in the textbox?
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers,
Vignesh Ravikumar.

hello Vignesh
There will be three kinds of Business Objects in BOL Layer.
1. BDOC Supported Business Objects : When BOL creates a new BO, BOL FWwill use the Read BDOC.And you can not do save for these BOs. Read Only. may be all child BOs can be modelled as BDOC supported.
2. New BDOC Supported Business Objects : These BOs will have Raad BDOC and Write BDOC, so you can read and write. when you save on a Business Object, BOL FW will use the write bdoc.
This will be used at most for all the root Business Objects and independent Business Objects to enable save at run time.
3. BDOC Not supported : as you aware, Unbound Business objects. can be used as helper BOs.

Shankar
