Use Universe Builder to create universe on DSO

I have heard that Universe Builder is able to create universes directly on to DSOs in SAP BW. I have also heard that the SQL generated by Builder is more efficient than that which Designer generates. However, how do you use Universe Builder to create universes connecting to SAP BW? None of the materials I have found show how to connect to SAP sources.
Please do not post any solutions regarding using Designer to create the universe as we are specifically trying to prototype new methods.

excuse me for being not clear. I mean how to create the UI of this topic list screen, each time you click the arrow > button, you see a new pages link-which I mean it dynamically showing the pages after query.

Using interface builder to create a table view and add a cell

So I am using interface builder to make a table view. Should be easy. I drag a table view controller to my view, then it seems I should be able to drag a table view cell to the table view but it won't let me drop it down. If I do it in the documents window it just replaces the table view with a cell. Seems like this shouldn't be hard, but it's one of those things that should take 2 seconds but I have been messing with it for hours. It seems like most of the examples I have looked at in the same code don't use iB so I haven't found a good reference. If somebody can point me in the write direction let me know.

I struggled a bit too. Here's what I did on my recently completed app. I used IB to create the basic view and add the table. That's it. Then ensure your UIViewController based class implements the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource protocols. Your cells will come from those methods, not anything you do in IB.
If you're creating a set of screens that just have tables that allow you to navigate up and down through the data then IB isn't worth using at all.
Just have your views extends UITableViewController and follow some of the supplied table based example apps.
I rewrote my first app 3 times as I slowly figured all of this out.
Hope that helps.

Connect to PHP in FB4 is used when you have a PHP Class and you want to use that in FB, for example Employee.php and it has a Employee class and various methods in that like create, update, get, delete.
However, if you have exposed your functionality in PHP as a HTTP URL (i.e. it is not a class), then you should be using HTTPService from the data menu.
So if your file is login.php and is accessible as a URL, then using the HTTPService and enter the URL.
Does this help?

Integrating OLAP Universe and Non OLAP Universe

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem in integrating an OLAP universe and a universe on two dimensional database. Let me explain the scenario:
I have one BW query which gives plants A, B and C sales details. I have one more database (SQL Server), which gives plants D and E sales details. The requirement is to show all the plants (A, B, C, D and E) sales in Xcelsius Dashboard. For this i followed the below approach:
1. To bring SAP plants data, i created universe on BW Query (OLAP Universe)
2. Created universe on SQL Server tables to bring Non-SAP plants data. (General Universe)
Now my doubt is, is there any approach or functionality to join or merge these two universes (OLAP and Non-OLAP). I think we can merge Non-OLAP universes. If this is not possible then what is the best approach.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks & Regards
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

Hi,
I n order to merge prompts in Web Intelligence query panel, they must be identoical: same question, same datatype.
But you have to pay attention to the fact that only one list of values will be used for the twio data sources.
So it the two data sources have different keys (or tecnnical names in SAP) then one query will work and the other not.
Again if you try to synchronize those two data providers in WebI you will hit the same issues: keys and caption might be different.
So I suggest to do some SQL transformation on the relational universe to match keys and captions in SAP BW data source.
I recommend this because SAP BW does not support custom calculations that return string or dates: only numeric values are supported.
So in that case if you are sure that keys and captions will be identical in the two sources you will be able to merge prompts and synchronize both sources.

Didier

Error when using Form Builder

PS: I have intalled the Oracle EBS VIS, and the OS is WinXP(ZHS).

Yes, that's right.
I have fixed this error.
At the same time, I found a bug when installing Oracle EBS DEMO. That is,
FORM60_PATH in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE,is $AU_TOP\11.5.0\resource;$AU_TOP\11.5.0\form\us; But another one in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME2 is $AU_TOP\11.5.0\resource;$AU_TOP\11.5.0\plsql. I think the second one is the working path used by Form Builder. Correcting it to be same with the first one will be OK. Or you can change all of them to your own working path.
PS: Form builder is installed in the server PC which I only have:)

You have to connect with a database user who has right to select on the table.

Using Report Builder to make Letters

I am trying to use report builder to create templates for
letters and other multi-page documents, the query automatically
inserts data from a database (the price of something for example).
Whenever I try to fit the document in report builder it says
something like "Report compilation error. Report design not valid :
1. The title section, the page and column headers and footers and
the margins do not fit the page height. " Is there any way to get
this text to automaticaly go to the next page instead of just
giving me an error? A better way to do this would also be great (I
have templates in .rtf format with bookmarks where query objects
go)

Hi Rajan,
Reporting Services provides two report authoring tools: Report Builder and Report Designer in BIDS/SSDT. Whether you can design an Ad-hoc report based on Web Service data source depends on the version of the Report Builder. In Report Builder 1.0, we can
only use report model to design a report. In Report Builder 2.0 or higher, we can use the built-in XML data source type that can retrieve data from Web service to design a report.
The Report Builder 1.0 is available in SSRS 2005. For SSRS 2008, we can upgrade the Report Builder to Report Builder 2.0 by installing the SQL Server 2008 PCU1. For SSRS 2008 R2 or SSRS 2012, the Report Builder 3.0 is included natively.
References:
Creating Report Datasets from XML Data (Report Builder 2.0)
Reporting Services: Using XML and Web Service Data Sources
Note: The second link is for Report Designer in SSRS 2005 and also applies to Report Builder 2.0 or higher.

How to use Report Builder with permission extension

Is there any method to let web site which use SSRS and Report Builder use different permission extension module?
In our web site project we use ReportingService2010 Methods to show and operate folder and report which stored in Report Service, in our project configuration file, we use windows authentication mode for Report Service.
In requirement 1.User can do any operation in folder “A” and folder “B” (we can create and delete report or folder) in web site. 2.User can’t use “Report Builder” to save reports which created by Report Builder to folder “B”, Reports which created by Report
Builder only can be saved in folder “A”. [User click “Report Builder” button in our web page to start Report Builder, use “Report Builder” to create report, if user want to save report, we need to hidden folder “B” in “Report Builder” or we need to remove
some operate right from folder “B”.]
We have two solution:
1. We want to write extension module to process this issue, we want to re-write CheckAccess method which will be called by web site backend and Report Builder, but how can we know who called CheckAccess method[Web site backend called CheckAccess method
or Report Builder?]
2. We want to let Web site back-end use permission extension module named WebSitePer.dll, and Report Builder use PBPer.dll, how to modify the configuration file?

Hi Fang,
As far as I know, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), have no permission extension. In Reporting Services, it is use role-based security to grant user access to a report server. There are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles.
Based on my test, if we assign user with System User System-level role, the user will have permission to user Report Builder to create report. However, if we only assigned Browser or Report Builder Item-level role to the user, he/she will have no permission
to publish the report to the report server. In this situation, although user have permission user Report Builder to edit the report, it will have no effect of the report in report server. User who has assigned Browser or Report Builder Item-level role will
have no permission to delete report in the report server.
There is an article about Setting Permissions in Reporting Services, you can refer to it.

Unable to View DSO objects while creating universe on SAP BW objects

Hi,
I am able to create universes on top of Cubes and Queries on any infoprovider but while making connections I am not able to see the DSO in the OLAP list.
I would like to know how to connect to DSO directly? I am able to view the queries based on DSO's but not just DSO's.
Please give me your inputs.
Thanks,
Shesha

Hi,
OLAP universes support DSO only exposed in BEx queries, not directly.
Data Federator will release a SQL driver to access SAP BW data that will provide a direct access to DSO.
DSO are not OLAP, that's why it is recommended to use a SQL access rather than a MDX access.

How can i use bw7 olap infocube datasource to create universe?

hi experts,
   i have config IK2.0 connect to bw7, but when i create universe from bw7 infocube datasource, the "OLAP DATASOURCE" page shows:

      ztestCube ($zTestCube)
the cube "ztestCube" created in bw7.
when i create this universe by "ztestCube",

Hi,
to explain why we recommend a query vs cube:
- when connecting to a cube directly you will lose the following functionality
   - restricted keyfigures
   - calculated keyfigures
   - SAP variables
   - structures
   - navigational attributes

Using BW Query in designing Universe

Hello Experts,
I want to create Universe from BW Query. Can anyone tell me what are the steps of using BW query in Universe designing?
I successfully connected my BW Dev. server with BO Universe and able to select Cubes in designing universes but I was not able to select any queries.
Regards,
Nirav Shah

Hi Nirav,
in order to be able to select BW queries when building a universe you have to first allow external access on them. You can do this by opening the desired query with the SAP query designer (Business Explorer Tools) and navigate to the properties of your query. In the "advanced" tab just check the "Allow external access to this query" option.

Universe Builder on XML file

Hello Experts,
We have XIR3.1 SP4 and our repositories are on oracle 10g.
I'm trying to build a universe on top of Data Services. I exported the datastore to an XML file from the DS Client tool.
I opened the Universe Builder, selected the Metadata Sources and pointed to the XML file.
The name of the XML file appears in the space of Universe Builder, with file type as "CWM_File. But I cannot select "Create Universe" option. It seems to be grayed out.
I have tried importing the xml file into different Metadata Sources, like CWM Olap 1.0, Data Integrator etc but still the Create Univesre option is grayed out.
Am I doing anything wrong? Is it even possible to build a universe like this?
Please help.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Here's the XIR2 guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir2/en/xir2_universe_builder_en.pdf
and the XI3.1 guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_universe_builder_guide_en.pdf
This is very little use of Uni Builder, so you may want to work with Support engineer to get confirmation. (i.e. OSS ticket)

How to create universe for sap bw cubes in Business objects

Hi all,
can anybody tell me the steps to create universe for SAP BW CUBES from Business objects software.
Thanks.
Cheta.

Hi,
In a SAP-BW and BO environment using Business Object Universe generator, it appears that BO requires direct data base connectivity to read data from BW.
In XI/XI R2 , it use an RFC connection (MDX driver, which makes BAPI, SAP API calls) to SAP BW to obtain the details of the BW Query or Info Cube for building the Universe using the XI/XIR2 Business Objects designer application. The request for the query or cube details is done VIA BAPI function calls. For the SAP BW Query we must have allow External Access to this query checked under the Query Property window.
Our Integrated Solution Kits do not access the SAP BWs data source.
Hope this helps,

Universe Builder with MS SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio - Bridges

Hi all!
I am new to BO and i'm trying to create a universe from a sql database i created with MS SQL Server Management Studio.
I noticed that there isn't any bridge option for sql database.
Am i suppose to do some kind of conversion or is there an option that i left out?
Oh and i'm currently using BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Edge Series Universe Builder.
Thanks
Jazreeel

Hello Jazreeel/ALL,
Could you please share what you did to build your Universe from MS Sql? I am at that same roadblock now myself. I know I can use Designer to manually connect to the SQL DB and painstakingly set it up table by table, but is there not an easier way, where Universe Builder or Designer can read the full database schema and and build the Universe from there?
SAP support has told me that the Designers auto features <Detect Joins, Links, etc> should not be used in a production enviroment, that I need to add all the tables <747 of them> manually and then have a Developer one by one create all the Joins, Links, Cardinalities, resolve the loops etc. That is very teadious to do, and makes maintaining the Universe a nightmare when different software versions change our database tables from time to time.
There's got to be an easier way, I just can't find it. Like you, I instantly felt that Builder should have a SQL bridge to be able to read what it needs from the SQL DB and build the Universe. However, that option does not seem to exist.
Appreciate any help!!
Carl
