Usage of Business Objects content in VC

Hello,
Is it possible to embed Business Objects content (web-Intelligence, Crystal Reports) into VC based composite applications?
I know that Xcelsius can be embedded, but what about the rest (Including Pioneer).
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
it depends on what do you expect by embedding these applications.
You can easily embed them via URL or iView, but then you only display them, but I assume that you need any data communication between VC and the Business Objects applications, which is not possible as far as I know.
Cheers,
Marcel

Server Intelligence Agent won't start after repair of Business Objects 4.0

I migrated our company's business objects contents and documents from previous BO 3.1 server to new BI 4.0 server using standard BI tools. (That is, using the export wizard in BO 3.1 to create BIAR file and using upgrade management tool to import this biar file to new BI 4.0 server).
After that, everything looks fine, I can log in to launch pad and can see all the folders, reports, etc have been moved over.
But Life Cycle Management stopped working. I guess the reason is, when I created the biar file from source 3.1 server, I basically included everything that may include LCM folder as well, and this folder overwrite the LCM folder in BI 4.0 server. In order to fix this issue, I did "repair" of BI platform. After this, the Server Intelligen Agent won't start.
Tried to log on to cmc, got error message
"Error: Server SERVERTest:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null"
Tried to start the Server Intelligence Agent from "services", got message:"windows could not start the server intelligence agent (servertest) from local computer..." Checked the event log, no much useful information.
Can anyone please give me some ideas? what might have caused this issue? where should I look to? I hope we don't have to go through uninstall/reinstall.
thanks.

Hi,
check the Task Manager if you have running the processes running "SIA.exe" ans "cms.exe"

How can we use business object (e.g. crystal report ) in webdynpro abap

Hi All,
We all know that business object has been part of sap products.
But even though in SAP, I really don't know much about business object.
and how can we use the great function of BO and integrate into our development to make
user have much better function and user experience.
Do we have some learning material of BO?
Could someone share some material here?
Thanks and Regards
Aaron.

One of the main ways that you can integrate some Business Objects content with WDA is via FlashIslands. If you are on 7.01 or higher, you have the option to use FlashIslands UI element. There are many tutorials on FlashIslands available on SDN. FlashIslands work well with Xcelsius content, since the output of Xcelsius is a Flex component. It is pretty easy to set the Xcelsius interface to External Connection and then write a wrapper Flex Component around the generated output, so that it can be used in the FlashIslands interface.
For Crystal Reports integration you will need NetWeaver 7.02 (comming early next year). We have integrated Crystal Reports as an output option in the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV and the Classic Dynpro ALV. You don't need to do any development to enable this. You can use two different SAP delivered Crystal Reports templates for the ALV output, or create and add your own templates.
Some of ther BOBJ integration is still in prototype and demo phase within SAP. For instance we have a data interface to send data to Explorer onDemand from any ABAP application. We have a prototype FlashIsland for WebI to run in place within Web Dynpro ABAP. Over future enhancement packages you will see increased integration opportunties with the BOBJ capabilites.

SAPBI data accessing from Business objects and other OLAP tools

Hi,
We already have heavy usage of Business Object, Essbase and are planning to implement SAPBI 7.0
    a) We are planning to connect our existing Business
        Objects infrastructure onto the new SAPBI platform, Did
        You experience any issues such as performance,
        config issues, delays, web issues.. is there any
        document or link with steps involved in integrating
        Business objects and SAPBI
     b) Can Bex analyzer gives simliar functionalities that
        are in Essabse front- end (EXCEL), I know that the
        backend data managament is quite different, but my
        question is around user interface, do you have any
        comparisons between these two tools.
     c) Is it possible to get data from SAPBI using external
        reporting tools (OLAP) such as Oracle Discoverer ...

if the export to XML file is successful, the file will not be deleted if you are creating it from Metadata Exchange.
The file gets deleted in case you are using the create universe option and by default the file is created in %LINK_DIR%\log\MetadataExchange, you will also see ME_errorlog.txt and ME_outputlog.txt if there are any errors, do you see and erros in these files if you are creating the Universe directly from DS Designer ?
to use Metadata Exchange do the following
Open Data Services Desginer
Click on tools Menu -> Metadata Exchange
In the Metadata Exchange window
Select Export Data Services metadata to a file
Select DI CWM as metadata format
enter location for xml file (C:\temp)
Select the datastore you want to create Universe for
Click OK
Check for file named repo_export.xml in the C:\temp folder or the folder that you specified
Open Universe Builder and Select
Data Integrator bridge
and use the xml file as input to create universe

Business Objects SAP Transports overwrite the BW 7.3 Upgrade Crystal Object

Hello All,
We recently Upgraded our BW environment to 7.3 from 7.0 NW. And we also implemented BI 4.0 SP2, and as part of Integrating BI with BW put in 8 SAP transports which I have listed below. After the 7.3 upgrade to BW we were asked to put in SP5 and then the SPAU comes back with a conflict with one of the BI transports. After doing a compare it seems the CRYSTAL namespace is now part of 7.3 and these BI transports for SAP were created in 2005, so by putting these transports in (for BI to BW connectivity) we have overwrtten some 7.3 code?
My question is do we have a new set of transports for BI to BW 7.3 connectivity? I couldn't find any such in the installation guide or OSS notes for BI

Hi Paul, I opened a message with SAP under the BI area, and it has been routed to the BEX-BW team now. I would suggest open a message for the BEX-BW group since your Upgrade is getting stuck during Enhancement. Also talking to the BI folks on phone I got the impression that althoguht BW 7.3/7.0x have most of the objects in the standard SAP namespace they still want us to import the 8 or 9 transports as mentioned in the BI Guide. It feels that the SAP BW development and SAP BI development are not at the same page and causing these conflicts. Sorry couldn't be of much help to you.

Business Objects In Portal Content Studio

Hi All,
I Installed a business package for CRM in EP 6.0 SP09 and I created aliases SAP_BW and SAP_CRM for the CRM and BW systems and assigned roles to users and was accessing them.
The Business Objects Folder in Portal content studio was empty even after the installation of BP, but Later when I checked that I found a Folder "SAP_BW" under "Business Objects" Folder. I just want to know how did these objects come there and how
Could someone please clarify this to me.
Thank you

Hi Ignacio,
Should they be transported manually to the QA system or will they again be created automatically when I start accessing these BW iviews in QA system.
will it save me the loading time of a template if I transport this business objects folder to QA system by creating a transport package.
Thank you

Query on SAP Business Object and Content shipment..

I know about SAP Business Suite... & SAP Business One... But what is :
1. SAP Business Object and
2. Content Shipment
The definitions on the SAP Release & Maintenance Strategy and other docs on SDN were not too clear for my understanding. I want to know why are they used / where are they applied ? E.g: if you have a SAP BW system.. why would you need SAP BW Content ? where does it fit in the picture and what purpose does it serve...
(PS: it would be great if someone can share the product / functionality details of their landscape where these systems are used, how does it benefit the business operations and any other purpose of having them... )
Thanks,

Hi Ashim,
If your client want it to be done in one database, then the answer is no if you do not have any add-on or SDK codes. Most difficult part is authorization since I believe what you mean project here is not the same as project center in B1,
If your client allow more than one database, then the configuration will be easy.
Thanks,
Gordon

CAF Content (Data of Business Object) in Local DB Reimport

Hallo Experts
We have developed the application using CAF and I've noticed that the data saved in the local DB is lost if I made the redeployment of CAF project. Thus I want to first export the CAF content using the follow steps described
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-102650#cf before I do the Redeployment on the Produktion Plattform (to be sure that the data in the production Plattform is not going lost.)
======================================
   1.      Open the Service Browser. To do that, use the following URL: http://<host>:<port>/caf.
   2.      Choose Service Browser.
   3.      From the left pane, choose the application that contains the data you want to transport.
   4.      Choose Transport Content.
   5.      From the Content Transport table, select the business object nodes that you want to transport and choose Create Transport File.
6.      Choose one of the options for type of the transport file, containing the business data you want to transport:
Download DBContent XML u2013use this option if you want to extract XML database content in production systems or use this option if you want to translate the exported database content.
Download DBContent SDA u2013 use this option only if you want to extract database content SDA for test purposes.
===========================================
But I don't find how can I reimport the data using DBContentXML. Amd the links on the right side link to the old version. Could anyone tell me how to reimport the data?
We use SAP NetWeaver 7.1. ENH
Thanks a lot and nice Regards!

As I could see on SAP Help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/1fedbfe9d663cee10000000a11466f/frameset.htm) the exported content is an SDA that has to be deployed on the target server.
I´m also facing this issue on CE 7.2.
Have you tried this option?

Content of Business Object ZBUS2007 disappeared partially

Hi all!
We have a problem with business object ZBUS2007 (Work Order). It was created as sybtype of BUS2007 and delegation BUS2007 - ZBUS2007 exists.
During the last few months the following problem occured twice in ZBUS2007.
In a first case, some events disappeared from ZBUS2007.
In a second case, a piece of code of one method disappeared from the program.
Of course, in both cases nobody deleted them. They just disappeared and we had to add them again.
May be somebody has any idea what happened?
May be it is because of large number of avents and attributes? There are 104 attributes added to ZBUS2007 and 260 events added.
And one more question.
Is there some way to check "Where used" for attributes and events?
Thanks,
Nina.

Dear Nina,
I would also say that the huge no. of events and attributes should not have an impact on the missing events and code.
This seems more like a transport problem. As in case of workflows we have to be very sure that all the related objects are transported correctly including both customizing and workbench objects.
It is always suggested to first transport the workbench request and then the customizing request. Then a buffer refresh should be done to sync the workflow in the new system.
If the correct transport procedure is followed and the workflow and BO version remain consistent across landscape (D, Q and P box), then I don't see that you would face this issue again.

Saumya

Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects Enterprise

Can anybody just tell me in brief what is the Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects Enterprise?

Here's the brief summary:
CR Server is essentially Business Objects Enterprise with the following limitations:
- Limited to a single server (no clustering)
- Limited to a maximum of 4 CPUs
- Limited to the Crystal Reports content type
- Limited to a maximum of 20 Concurrent Users (or CAL - Concurrent Access License)
- One CAL can service between 5 and 10 'real people' depending on your usage patterns.
- No Web Intelligence
- No Crystal Xcelsius
- No Dashboarding
- No Enterprise Performance Management
- No Data Integrator
It is ideal for a departmental or a small company reporting server. It includes
- CAL licensing (BusinessObjects Enterprise doesn't)
- One copy of CR Developer Edition for every 5 CAL purchased (Report designers are extra with BusinessObjects Enterprise)
- Live Office for office integration
- Sharepoint 2003 Portal Integration Kit
- Web based report administration and consumption
- Business Views Manager for semantic layer maintenance
I hope this helps - let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks,

Business object type for parked invoices

Hi,
We are using documentum to store documents that have been attached to business object types in SAP. The business object types are configured in transaction OAC3 to point to a pre-configured content repository.
Having this configuration allows the object type to use the "services for objects" option, enabling it to store attachments.
The business object types for invoices have been configured and we are able to store attachments. However this does not seem to work for "Parked invoices". The configuration in the "services for objects" component is not there and the feature to store the attachment is disabled.
As the configuration needs to be done for all object types that need to be able to store attachments, maybe someone here can indicate what the object type is for parked invoices. Alternatively, maybe there is a way to look up the various business object types.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Giwan

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
