Using Business Objects to query the CRMOD database

Has anybody successfully used Business Objects to query CRMOD via web services? Our BO people are trying to do this and would like to learn from other's experience.

What is the use Business objects over WAD.

Hi Folks,
what is the use Business objects over WAD.
How sap bw is going to use Business Objects.
Thanks,
Cheta.

hi,
A business object is a master record within the Measurement System, and is defined as part of the measurement class within Customizing.
Examples of business objects are wells, well completions, and measurement points.
Once the measurement object is maintained, it is saved with the business object so that when viewed, the measurement object is part of the business object.

Is there a way to use business objects in the program or function module?

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to use business objects in the program or function module.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Naval,
Ofcourse you can use business objects in your programms/ methods.
You can use function modules or macros (available from include <cntn01>) for using business objects in your application.
refere following two links for startup information

SSO2DB / Use Business Objects Credential Mapping

Hi,
We standardized our universe connections to SQL Server on "Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time". There however is an issue with this when scheduling reports, see
1199774 - How to schedule Web Intelligence documents based on SSO2DB universes for Oracle and SQL Server to avoid scheduling issues
Given the solution proposed there is not optimal for us, we are looking at an alternative by standardizing on: "Use Business Objects Credential Mapping" on the universe connection. We want to use OLE DB (SQL Server native connection) for querying.
There are 2 ways to do this:
1. On universe connection, in the tab "Database Middleware", we directly select OLE DB. This way we do not need to create a DSN. We however get: A database error occured. The database error text is: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login failed for user '<user>'.. (WIS 10901)
Apparently the default authentication mode to SQL server is "native". SQL server specific user. When we create a native SQL server <user> with same password as in the mapped database credentials in the CMC, it works fine. Indicating native SQL server authentication is used instead Integrated Windows authentication.
Can we somehow change the authentication mode towards SQL server to Win AD?
Can we get to the SSO2DB functionality in this way?
2. When selecting ODBC on universe connection in tab"Database Middleware", we can still use OLE DB by creating a DSN based on the SQL Server native drivers. This also allows use to fix the DSN on authentication setting "With Integrated Windows authentication".
When we run a WebI report from InfoView and select as one of the objects the "system_User", we get the service account running the SIA. This account is also running the WebIntelligenceProcessingServer.
Does the credential mapping setting not work in this setup?
We expected the DBUSER/DBPWD to be passed.
See also SSO2DB / Use Database Credentials
Quote "Use DB credentials is not kerberos it uses DBuser/DBpass variable for accounts if they are populated. I currently have an escalation in on this with SQL there may be a bug with AD users although SQL users work fine."
Thx in advance!
Raf

Ganesh, using BO credentials will only work if you have BO logins that map to specific users in SAP BW.
It may be that you wish to section the BW reporting differently to the SAP reporting or that there are specific requirements for a particular reporting area where you can in effect use an "overrule" to replace an individual's log in with one that has a wider set of access privileges for reporting purposes. Quite why you'd let them report on more than they can see in SAP, I don't know, but there you go!
It's more traditionally used in database-based universes for a variety of reasons, particularly access.

Is it mandatory to use Business object for data transfer and work flow?


<pre>
In our enterprise projects we deal with some screens where we add or update some data and again
we retrieve that data and display to user in various ways like displaying on screen as
a report or viewing in excel etc.. Most of the times, though we identify the business objects
based on the nouns in requirements document, really while implementing there will not be any
business logic in the objects. Almost all the objects which we identfy as business objects
may have methods like add, delete, update and retrieve methods. Still in these cases, is it required to
have business objects or can we use transfer object to send the data for saving and retriving or any other
pattern/guideline is there for dealing such cases?
I really appreciate your comments on this topic.
Also I apologize ahead of time if my explanation is not clear to you.
</pre>


Thanks in advance.

Rizwan.

In my opinion, DAO pattern would be suitable for you. Generally the DAO (Data Access Object) will have the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) methods to retrieve data from data-source (e.g. database). Based on the data it will create the DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) and pass them to the caller. It will also receive the DTOs from the caller and save it the data-source. Thus in your case you can
- remove the CRUD methods from the Business Objects (BO) and make them pure DTOs and use them with DAOs (If you are using JDBC codes inside your application and you don't have much of validation or processing logic in your BOs).
http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/Patterns2ndEd/DataAccessObject.htm
OR
- use BOs in combination in DAOs (if using the database connection from a pool and BOs are having complicated processing logic).

Possible to report on QC using Business Objects?

Hello Geeks,
Please excuse me if I am posting this in wrong thread and help me moving it in right one.
As I am new to Sol Man, I heard that we could use Business Objects reporting on/for/with HPQC.
After going through forum links and sdn search, I found that Sol Man Adapter is used for the same.
My simple question, is, can we use HPQC for BO reporting (Universe, Webi), if yes is Sol Man the adapter which could help me to achiecve it? Also do we have any white paper, which will help me to use Business Objects as a QC reporting tool?
Thanks
P

You need someone who is very comfortable with the QC database Schema.
You will need someone who can develop reports for you on the fly. The BO piece can connect directly to the QC database just like a reporting tool like SSRS does and you can build reports and host them on MOSS or something.
That is what I have done in the past and recommend it at places as a best practice.
Knowing the QC schema inside out is the key piece and you do not need any adapter in this whatsoever.

Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

Hello,
We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
Is there any document available on this?
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi,

velmurugan...

Velu,
Go to transaction code SWO3 and search for vendor, you will find many business object.
Activate the event trace(using SWELS) and check which business object is getting triggered(using SWEL), If concerned one is there then you are good else you gotta trigger custom event for that business object

Need to use business objects with a project, please guide on basics.

Hello
I am a dotnet developer (asp.net with C#). I am sorry I dont know much about Business objects. Our client a financial firm wants to use Business object with a web based application. I couldn't got a clear and good understanding of Business object. The client just said Business objects allows dynamically creating reports even clients can create reports very easily even without knowing SQL.
Kindly guide me about Business Object product and its what component I should check for using it. Please mention some links that can give me introduction.
Thanks a lot,
haansi

Hi
Business Objects is not just one tool. You should ask your client what they will use e.g. Crystal Reports or Web Intelligence.
Here you can see half an hour Webinars that give you a good understanding of Business Objects:

We have a requirement to generate reports in our project using Business Objects v5.1.8.
Some users/Actors will have assess the reports through Webi of business objects and other requirement is to do some selection criteria in web page and once you get the right details, we should be able to generate report directly from web page (Calling .rpt file of Business objects), J2EE application calling business object report. (similar to calling PDF file in browser).
Did any body of you did similar thing and is it possible to do through business objects, I know we can do from crystal reports. Do we need any plug-in ?
I would be grateful, If you have sample code and willing to share.
Thank You
srikanth

oh no, you have that as a requirement! :) well, have fun!! (the guy beside me develops our crystal reports stuff all day).

Unable to Save more than 1 Business-object-provider for the Connector.

I m using MEP 1.0 Platform.
My Ecbo Connector "BankDb" had initially "Account" Object Provider which i was able to save successfully via the MEP console.Later on i added the "Statement" Object Provider to the same connector. But i get this Exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object:
{[[email protected]f,
[email protected]55,
[email protected]f,
[email protected]c,
[email protected]2,
[email protected]d,
[email protected]9]} is not a known entity type.
I shut down my Server & then restarted it.i removed the AccountObject Provider & Added StatementObject Provider instead & clicked save & it saved my Connector Successfully But when i tried to add the AccountProvider too i get the same exception.In short i am unable to save both providers at the same time in the console.
I googled later on & found something Similar on java.net
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3235
I am not sure about all of this as i am just a beginner.
Please Help
Thx in Advance
Alex.

Hello, thanks for your interest in the GlassFish Mobility Platform. The ECBO architecture supports exactly one business-object-provider per connector. You could combine your account and statement data into a single composite business object. You could also upgrade to MEP 1.1 and use the dynamic data feature (JerseyME) on the client to retrieve dynamic data such as the statement report and use the business-object-provider for the synchronized data, ie. the account activity. For more information see the [Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 Developer's Guide for Enterprise Connectors|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7207] .

How to query the citadel database

Is there a way using Lookout to query the citadel data base?
I have value that is being saved every second say, into the citadel database
a specific record may look like this for the field
MON_DS = "7:57"
Local Time = "2/19/06 15:59"
I want to have the user enter a date and then lookout to query the citadel database and find the
maximum value for MON_DS for that date.
Is this possible in lookout?
I can download the data to a spreadsheet but that is alot of work to load each of the fields & local time records
frank

Hi Frank,
You would use the "c" datamembers (see below), of the right datatype:
SQLExec Data Members
Data Member
Type
Read
Write
Description
c1 – c65535
numeric
yes
no
Value of the nth column in the row returned by ODBC.
c1.logical – c65535.logical
logical
yes
no
Value of the nth column in the row returned by ODBC.
c1.txt – c65535.txt
text
yes
no
Value of the nth column in the row returned by ODBC.
